Hi all!
New here so i hope you can help. I am a retired car mechanic, working on a Massey Ferguson 135 (1974ish) for the first time. I'm replacing the head gasket for a local non profit, but I can't get the cyl head to budge for love or money. I have all the nuts off, as well as the oil line. and I have soaked it down with penetrating oil in every conceivable spot, I have an engine crane pulling up on the head as well. We have tried to pry, and seem to have a tiny bit of movement on the front left (injector side) but no where else. Not a lot of places to pry here. tapping with a mallet and brass drift has not helped, and the studs are too short to double nut and remove. I've been on this for a week (part time) with no success. Looking for help here. I'm at wit's end.
