to 35 engine change

[blacksheep1875]

Hello all,
I have a to-35 here that was run quite a while with no oil pressure (oil pump drive gear bad) When it was brought here it was filled with grease. Upon teardown it will need a complete rebuild. The crank, cam and 2 rods are in very poor shape and doubt very seriously if they could be turned far enough to reuse.
Anyhow my question is....is there another motor that will direct fit with this. I seem to be having a dandy time trying to locate one. It is a gas tractor with no power steering.
Thanks Steve

The TO-35 gas engine was the Continental Z134 engine. I think they were also used in the early MF35"s that were derivied from the TO-35. I would think you shoudl be able to find the parts to rebuild the one you have or possibly find a rebuilt one.

I, and many others on here- seem to have made a 'calling?' by saving these things. You need to take the iffy pieces, or the whole engine, to an old fashioned machine shop, high performance guys won't even try. There are bearings up to 40 thou over, a cam shouldn't be hard to find, if it can't be repaired, the rods, etc. are around. You already have it appart, just give it a ride to town. If there was a source for loose z134's out there... I would be there in the morning...
with my trailer...

Jerry is right about various Masseys using the Z134--a 94 Clevite catalog lists a dozen or so models, MHs as well as MFs, apparently both tractors and liftttrucks...
Zs came in 120, 129, 134 and 145 (Massey used some 145s, too); I don't know if any would be a drop-in fit for your 134. There's also supposed to be a diesel 145 (ZD145)...
If new parts are NLA (or out of reach) you might try Garrad (Gerry/Jerry) Moon at Monte's in Chicago, obsolete Cont parts dealers garradmoon@[email protected] or montesequipment.com. Good luck.

Go on ebay, type in to35 and find a part for a 35 and then go to see sellers other items. I've seen bare blocks, cranks, cams and bearings.

I have most everything you would need for the Z134....
