Hey All, I have a Massey Ferguson 135 with a perkins 152 gasser. I started rebuilding the engine but it had a cracked head and parts were so hard to find. I found a Massey Ferguson 35 with a 152 diesel that spun a bearing. I figured I could use my block and my crank and rebuild it as a diesel. I have been a mechanic for 15 years, and currently build engines for Cummins so I feel very confident on building the engine. However I called my local Ferguson dealer who told me that it would not work. I also inquired about putting a Continental back in my 135 since they were more common and easier to find, which my local dealer also said would not work. I was wondering if anybody else had any other insight on this? Obviously if I switched to a continental I'd have to use different steering parts and all since the tractor would be longer. It was also unclear if I could not do the swap since it was a 135 to a 35, or if the swap wouldn't work because the Perkins gas doesn't fit the Perkins Diesel. Anyways, any insight would be greatly appreciated, or anybody else's personal experience. Thanks in advanced!
