I have a 1958 fordson dexta. The engine locked up last winter. My research indicates that the Massey Ferguson 35 used the same engine except a different fuel pump and a lip seal rather than a rope seal as a rear engine seal. I note that Farm Parts Store has a lip seal perkins 3.152 short block that fits many applications such as the MF 35 and 135 but they do not list the dexta as an application. From what I can tell there is no reason this short block would not work for my dexta apart from my need to purchase a rear engine seal (lip seal) since my rope seal mounting bracket will not fit a block designed for a lip seal. A rear engine lip seal assembled unit is available online. Does anyone know if there is any reason the short block I am thinking to purchase might not work for my 1958 fordson dexta???
