Update: I pulled the injectors and found 3 of them had doubled copper sealing washers. I think when I had the head/valve job done the guy didn't see/remove them and they got painted grey so I didn't see them. I removed those and reinstalled the injectors. Same symptoms. So I think this next...

Yes it's direct injection. 1963 model, and injectors are angled.

I posted this over on Antique Tractor but figured I'd see if anyone could chime in here. Hoping for some help solving this issue. I have a later model MF65 diesel Perkins AD4-203. It ran great and had good power when I first got it, but with quite a bit of blow-by. The injection pump was...

In my experience, hammering the end of the shaft (with the nut on to protect it) while you have pressure on the stump jumper, is the best method. Easiest is if you have a FEL or backhoe, flip the whole cutter upside down and pick it up a bit from the stump jumper. Give the shaft a whack or two...

Late to the party here but have read the thread with interest, as I had a similar issue on my Case 580C. I have a lot of seat time on various digging machines and am used to double and triple functioning, but I couldn't get the old Case to do it - I'd have the boom moving and add a little dipper...

Had the same problem on mine a while back and had to get creative. LA854 loader pins seized LA854 loader pins seized

I don't know anything on the TC35s but I did have the same problem on a Case backhoe. It turned out to be the seal on the top of the steering valve (the entire system is hydraulic) so it couldn't build any pressure when you turned the steering wheel. Might be something to check, depending on...

Ditto on hating intermittent electrical issues. I've started having almost the exact same issue with the L4740. Reading through this has me thinking to check my seat safety switch, as at one point I jumpered it so maybe my connections are getting loose. Let us know what you figure out...

I've seen algae gum up an injector pump so it would do similar to what you're describing. But yeah I would do a compression test. Might have some damage from all the ether.

Thank you! Unfortunately I've tried about every parts option out there any getting a new bearing carrier is not an option, but I've found a couple of used ones available.

Got the tractor split and found the problem. The pinion gear has worn the back of the bearing carrier at least a half inch. Must have eaten the bearing cone and whatever else goes in there. Does anyone have a parts diagram for this? I can't find anything online.

Yes, you can do that on the 65 too, but I have to unbolt the flange around the pinion shaft bearing so I have to split it.

Thanks! Good to know. I'll give it a go.

I've split a few tractors before, but have a question on this Massey 65. Can it be split behind the transmission (red circle in the picture) instead of the normal split point at the clutch (blue circle)? Or do I need to first split it at the clutch and then unbolt something inside to take the...

Trying to help a friend find some cylinder seals for his Century tractor. It says 50HL on the loader, I think that's a C-50HL? Not sure. Anyway, I've done the usual googling but I can't figure out where to get any parts. Needing seal kits for all the cylinders.
