Never mind. Found it on Amazon. Made in India by Vardia Enterprises to fit Ferguson 50. If anyone in Canada needs or wants this just let me know. It is new and unused.

My "Co-Grandfather" ordered what he thought was a speedo for his M-F compact tractor, only to find a Ferguson tachometer in the box. He gave it to me thinking it might be a good spare for my M-F 1440 - but of course of no value to an Iseki. Case is 3 1/4" OD, rear clamped. I can't put pic...

I am also going to use gasket dressing at least on head gasket. Once thing is together, I want it to stay that way. Worth noting: SOP at Rolls Royce was at least at one time to use dressing on head gasket, and IIRC it was the EU/UK version of Hi Tack from Permatex. Problem is: there are 3...

Mine has been apart for a month+ while I got block and head tanked, cylinders honed 0.001" over and head planed - then chasing parts with M-F here and Iseki UK - ended up with an engine kit from Global. Engine (Iseki E3CD-T) has only 423 hours, so I had planned on sticking the valves back into...

discussed this with Henkel support and they recommended 567 - and I have a fair bit of this on hand so went with it. I believe similar chemistry to 5770 but something like 400F max temp.

I bought an M-F 1440V (Iseki) with E3CD-T engine that had been run without coolant. Minor bore damage, one scuffed piston, all rings fully annealed. Wanted to be sure the coolant passages were clean when hot tanking head and block, so pulled all of the 3/8 pipe plugs out of the head. They...

I think the "V" in the tractor name stands for "value" - that means just regular manual gearing (that I personally greatly prefer after watching my neighbour drop $30k into his fancy gearbox only to have it crap out right away. I am pretty sure that the operators who wore the clutch literally...

Some things you need to understand about where I live: We are a province large enough to easily swallow TX but with population far less than San Diego. There is no cost effective shipping to where most rebuilders are (i.e. 3 days driving with the middle section single lane through the bush)...

Just an update: I had fantastic exchanges with parts and service people at Iseki UK. They could not cross part numbers to M-F ones, but they could tell me what later models probably shared parts with mine. Got prices and availability from them, but quite high plus need to ship overseas. MIGHT...

I have been through the wringer trying to source decent price and available parts to rebuild the E3CD-T in my M-F1440V - and after a month or so (see my posts in M-F forum IIRC) think I am ready to order final lot and put it back together. With a mighty 420 hours on the clock I would not have...

Just a bit of update on this excruciating saga: I have been crossing over parts from TG series Isekis as well as the corresponding M-F 1540 and most of the bits for other versions of E3CD will work. What is stunning is the price on most of the parts is lower from MF than Iseki - and no...

Have been riding a bit over 60 years (flying a bit longer). First owned was A10 Super Rocket, raced flat track and speedway, had bike shop (imported Sprite scramblers and ISO speedway bikes), have done the road trips, off road trips, a bit of hill climbing, bit of trials, etc. Still have a...

I have some incredibly cheap half amp maintainers that I keep on batteries for overhead crane, quad and door opener in unheated storage shelter on farm. 5 years running 24 x 7 and no problems. I keep the 24V batteries in my D5H plugged into a NOCO smart charger all winter and much of summer...

the only difference I can see between 33 and 40 is the turbo and related hardware. I had the company I work with in UK reach out to Iseki there - and even they could not cross the 1400 series over to the matching Iseki tractors. I was sent a parts list for Iseki TG1590 that is the equivalent...

The engine is a E3CD-T and is found in several other machines. I am trying with Iseki UK now to just be able to get engine parts by engine model. Due to turbo, not all parts interchange with the normally aspirated versions of E3CD but since some parts (such as the piston I desperately need)...
