Massey 35 unstuck

[Bob Bowers]

Through the forums here I tried the idea of Marvel mystery oil and diesel fuel. In a Massey I bought with a stuck engine. Mixed it up put it in the spark plug holes, jacked up one rear wheel, had it in 3rd gear. TWO weeks of adding contoction, and trying to turn the wheel when I walked by. It moved a little, more fluid It moved some more. I drained everything, new oil, plugs, wires, coil, points. It fired, Jesus there ant a skeeter left around here from the smoke. Clutch was stuck. Started it in gear and ran it around for ten minutes or more and the clutch came loose. It is smoking very little now. Did I miss anything? Or just run the heck out of it for a few days?

If you've got a plow or disk or something to hitch to and put it to work for a few hours or days that will help clean up that engine even more.

An engine oil change before running much would probably be a good idea. That way you can clear out any penetrating oil and debris that might be left over. Then change it again after a few more hours of operation to get rid of anything else that has worked its way free.

Congratulations by the way on your success!

prior owner of my MF135 unstuck the engine by towing, he got it unstuck but tractor burned oil and ran awful, he finally tore down the engine and saw the broken rings and piston lands, thats why I have it

you did it the right way so maybe that kind of damage isn't there

wish I could have seen the smoke cloud
