I gotta ask.... did the dog stop ok? :laughing:

He's pretty good with those short legs, better than I am for sure, even with screws in my boots.

Never heard of it, I値l look into it. Not sure if it値l work for my machine, no real seal, it痴 a rope seal. (1964)

Ah, it's supposed to soften rubber and expand it a bit I think. May not do anything for a rope seal and I've never seen one.

Some company's make regular seal replacements for where there was once a rope seal. They aren't hard to install. The hardest part of the job is removing all the remnants of the rope seal without removing the crankshaft. If your interested I would check with your local engine rebuilder.

I read something on a car forum that suggested it may work. Probably can’t hurt to try. If it slowed at all I’d be content.

I was actually just looking for one, I’d think for such a popular machine (Massey 35) that someone would make one. I did see something that looked interesting, but it was for the 135, however they share very similar motors.

I know exactly what you mean on the ice. Some folks scrape down to bare pavement and some (like us) scrape down to bare ice.:laughing:View attachment 589636 That's what an inch and a half or rain did to my nice smooth snow pack. And boy was that slick under Tuesday night's snow!.

Nice drive Eric - like a bottle as we say here. We've had a lot of that this season. That's another reason I like to run plow shoes. When your done plowing the next storm you are left with a thin layer of packed snow over that ice. If you drive easy on it and don't spin it off it will usually stick enough to give better traction.

The day before that big rain I pushed all the banks back from that previous big storm as far as I could get them. Looks like you might have done the same thing. Glad I did because there is no moving them now - they are like concrete. Told the wife don't worry about getting your car buried in the snow bank if you slide on the ice.

It has been quite awhile but I recall being able to roll a new rope seal into a rear main,
after dropping the pan and rear main cap and seal housing. This was on a stationary flathead 6 cylinder.

Also if you split it, here is an article on replacing the seal on a MF 35

Good luck

It seems most of the work is splitting and removing the clutch assembly. I just need to time it between winter and late spring, need the tractor to plow snow, and summer to mow field and other duties. The short window is the tough part!

Thanks for that link, that should help quite a bit.

Updated pics. 8 foot Fisher mounted to SSQA plate on front, using 3rd function on front for turning. The Pronovost blower was brought over from the L3200 and widened from 64 to 80" with a pair of wings.

Finally got a pic of the set up I made for the 7 ft. Fisher plow.
I didn’t have time to clean it up and paint it before the cold came. I will scrape and paint next summer.

Hey Chim, where did you get the LED lights for the rear of the tractor? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Stanley

I'm not Chim, but... https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/376458-let-there-light-l4060-light.html

The OEM solution for Kubota 60 series grands is a switch & 2 halogen lights for $150 or so. All the wiring is in place already. I went crazy with overkill wiring on mine, but OEM wiring is fine for light cubes or small bars.

LED cubes & small or big bars are all over Amazon. Just search for "led light tractor" & you'll find a ton. My 42-52" bars were only $50-60 or so each & you can get 4 cubes for that these days. Cheap ones (like my bars) have cheap power supplies & cause a lot of RF noise, killing the radio.

Maxxima MWL-42 from The Trailer Shoppe near EPHRATA PA. A little over $40 each. They do internet sales and walk in.

I’ve had great luck with my Kawell 42w units. I’ve got two of their round 42w facing forward and two of their 27w facing rear. It’s a lot of light, but not as much as a light bar.

I wired mine so that when I flip my switch up, just the fronts come on. Flip the switch down and the front AND rear lights come on. (Helpful in summer with bugs).

You can see the rears here. Fronts are the same but a touch bigger. Pic taken right after I purchased the blower and serviced it.

Total was $53 shipped to my door. Already had wire and relays on hand. I kept my wattage draw low because my machine is old and has a generator that doesn’t put out too much haha

Haven't played with any MF engines but in the small block chevy days.. We used a Sneaky Pete to run the Rope seals over the crank. Wonder if it will work for you.

Thank you. I had thought of including that in my remarks but didn't remember the name "Sneaky Pete".

Looks interesting, I’ll see if it’s something that could work for this application. Thanks!
