A question for the OP. Did they ever tell you what the root cause of your engine problem was ?

No. When I was there Wednesday (posts 104-106), they had pulled out the old engine and installed the new one. I was told that the old one was in a crate (probably the one that the new engine arrived in) and was going to be shipped back to Massey Ferguson for analysis. The dealer's mechanic had not pulled the head nor dropped the oil pan.

Pictures in post #1 were of the hole in the right side of the engine, but I knew there was a hole(s) on the left side hidden behind a bracket, so it couldn't be seen from the outside. Turns out that bracket was the left rear mount. Here's a photo that he took of the left side with the (bent) bracket before he crated it:

Tee hee.

"All seriousness aside", this is a feature on the Massey Ferguson GC's so that the radiator is (better) protected.

It also means it draws the fresh "cool" air to cool the radiator under your legs, so you don't sweat so much in the summer, but get your long johns out if your gonna do winter work!

I rarely use mine in the winter!
