I am in the process of rebuilding my Massey 275 and have a few questions. First the manual for the engine says to set the timing up for the counter balancer with the #1 piston at BDC but the marks don’t line up correctly. The manual later says the timing can be aligned on TDC or BDC. Anyone been through this? Next question is where can I find an injection pump (CAV3241F541) for a reasonable price, seem to have trouble finding this one on a lot of sites. I see a lot that say for MF275 but I just want to make sure I’m getting the correct one. I had an injection service look at mine and quote $1000 for rebuild and that’s hard for me to swallow since the tractor ran and started fine before rebuild, just had a lot of oil blow by when hot. Guides were shot and wear on cylinders! Has anyone had much luck rebuilding these without special calibration tools. Seems the seal/gasket kits are quite cheap for them.
