I've got a MF-50 with the continental z134, cracked webbing between the sleeves. Worked on it for months trying the different epoxies, solder,
and the putting allthread through the block to close the crack. I have decided to get a used continental block or a diesel.
I know it came with a perkins A3.152 from the factory. Was wondering if the bolt patterns for similar models would match for a direct fit with
the transmission/clutch and everything. So would a MF-65 AD4.203 bolt right up? Or other continental gas engines from similar-sized Masseys work.
I have located a Perkins 3.152 short block on an old welder that runs....but doesn't have the bell housing, been looking for a way to convert
it... because i know that the engine is part of the frame on the model 50.
Any help and info greatly appreciated, wish there was a conversion chart for old machines.
Hoping to find a junk tractor with a good block to haul home and overhaul and put on the 50. Can't justify putting a running $3000 engine on a
tractor I paid $2000 for, I might as well just buy another $2000 tractor.
