I am full of admiration, not just of your mechanical capability, but your presentation and linguistic skills are superb. Great informative and enjoyable videos.

Your videos are a pure joy to watch. You make a good speaker and you have a wonderful accent to your English. Thank you for your very entertaining videos!

Your patience is a wonderful thing. These old tractors are iron art pieces. You treat them as such. Bravo.

Good video! I love old tractors and equipment. It's recycling at the ultimate level. Please continue!

The 23c has a special place in my heart ;-) very good video!

Enjoying the Massey series. I live in dromore in northern Ireland about 3 miles from Harry Ferguson's farm was. Good to see one of his machines being cared for :)

Thanks again for the great content, your channel is the best.

Excellent video series Sir! I am very impressed by your level of English, and that you are so open to learning. Your first video called the rockers “tumblers”, corrected in this video to rockers for example. This is absolutely no criticism! The opposite in fact. Thank you for all your efforts in showing us how to do this job, which I personally will be doing next month. 😀👍👍👍

Learning some great stuff from you. I have a FE-35 dual clutch dual brakes. Got her running but she's smokey. Needs new all sorts on it. Great watching. Thanks for the time you have put in.

Thank you for your vidéos ; i have a MF35 to renew and i'm not really good with the motor. But now i have understood many things to make a good job .I saw the vidéos three or for times and now i feel OK to make something on the motor . Your vidéos rest close to me !!!! Thanks from France.

Evening Steve. Can’t believe it’s passed midnight in the uk 🇬🇧 and I’m still watching your videos lol 😆 Love what your doing 👍🏻 Cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧

Have two 35 on our farm. Great tractors! This one is beutiful!

Thank you sir. Very nice restoration.

Excellent job!

Hiii Steve -- back again to follow !!! First for everyone.....25% of mechanic success is the cleanliness because it opens the way to precision ....Mechanic best quality is been meticulous and good order and good sequence of work. (Steve is just that :)

Great work thanks for sharing

While working at an International Harvester dealership years ago I worked under a man who was exempted from being drafted into WWII because the draft board considered him essential to keep our local farmer's machinery repaired as not many farm machinery parts were available during time. When I assembled my first engine under his guidance he told me to cleaning the top of the block and the head, the final wipe down was with rubbing alcohol. Then spray 2 coats of silver paint on both sides of the head gasket. I never asked him why he just said it's good insurance to seal everything up. A couple years ago I was reading somewhere (Smokestack &engine aids I think) about the use of silver paint on Aircraft engine head gaskets in WWII, they did this so they could reuse the head gaskets because of supply shortages in the pacific theater of war so I guessed that's where my mentor got the idea. I still spray paint them, especially on small air cooled lawn mower engines I reuse them all the time as long as they don't delaminate when the engine is torn down.

I have enjoyed your vids on this tractor it helped out with mine big time, After all the issues I had, It ended up being the fuel pump that was no good anymore, even after rebuilding it, New pump is quite expensive so I traded it away for a B250 international which is working fine I rebuilt just as much as you have here and that damn pump was the whole problem:( sadly

Very perfect tution

Good series.

Grait video now i know how to set my torque on my 35 thabk you very mutch

Never could learn those metric numbers !!! In the States, its pounds and ounces lol. Another great video thanks,Ken

you are the Bob Ross of engines...

Tony Dewhurst Always oil the threads of the head bolts to get a true tension without any bolt binding.

i used to repair a lot of those old tractors. I always replaced the long and short bolts when replacing the head as i found some of those bolts would stretch over time.

Greetings from Germany!!!

I had rebuilt 1967 Massey Ferguson 4cly backhoe engine. It has like 16 piston rings on each piston

The pushrods aren't that sensitive to wear, they aren't directly riding on the cam, they link to the cam followers and the cam followers are what has to be matched to the cam. But the pushrods may differ a bit in length so it's just a good habit to keep them in order.

Hi,just subscribed,really enjoyed this Fergy head series ,may I ask what part of the world you are living in?.Looking forward to more videos, meanwhile I will catch up with the back log . Regards Gerald swain.

Hi I have just seen your videos a few years later.and well done and we'll explained.. Did you need to enlarge the head fuel chambers to aid starting as helps 23c engines . Yours has a cold climate head which are rare here unless you have fitted the extra heater plugs . .

I like your Belgian accent.

Hi D3 i like your videos. do you know maybe where to buy that frost plug the cylinder head have in the middle ? and do all the standard engines take the same torck please? i have a fe35 1957.

Hi terrific series - I would have annealed the head gasket ?. I saw your answer on lapping valves etc and maybe the answer is the same .....

Very nice thorough head assembly. 05OCT2018

Cast-iron stabilize with age (the younger the cylinder head the more courteous one must be when torqueing the bolts) The price of the big lathe is principal due to the age of the bench (are laying out in sun rain snow for years for the cast-iron to stabilize getting the tensions released ) I think Steve will agree ...?

a couple of those valves looked like they were sunk in a little on the head when you had it upside down.

Really enjoying this MF engine rebuild. I have one question. When you carried out all the work on the cylinder head repair why did you not check the valve seats for cracks and lap the valves. Thankyou!

Why didnt you leave paper towels in cyl when sanding

Who made that torque wrench? I've never seen any other like that.

Does this change any from the 3cylinder Perkins? I have a blown head gasket.

Good job maybe a little oil on the threads would help with the torque.

How would waterless coolant go since it doesn’t freeze or boil and not pressurise when it heats up it won’t pressurise the cooling system with that loctite liquid metal and blow it out

I would have removed those studs from the block and cleaned that block face properly because any crap stuck to it will make the head gasket fail. I would have also replaced ALL the Core Plugs at the same time because they corrode like crazy especially if the engine has been run without Antifreeze as it obviously has because that is what caused the engine to freeze and crack in the first place, prevention being better than cure every time for me but some people Never Learn and this is what happens, all that grief for about half a gallon of Antifreeze.

Hi About the cracks, they can be welded with TIG and siliconbronce filler.

Push rods n block on lifters n lifters fit on cam? Wood u need to run engine to pump up lifters b for adjusting valves the reason some rockers r tight is lobe on cam is up

Should not all torque settings be measured “dry?”

This is the result of why not to put strait water in the cooling system with out a glycol mix and then let it sit outside and freeze

Hello, can anybody tell me the correct piston ring gap orientation for this engine? Thanks :)

Is that a perkins diesel?

the only thing you forgot is assembly lube

Imam ovakav traktor 1959 moze li prevod na srpski jezik,hvala

The extension changes t he torque some,if possible don't use extension.

I need a connecting rod from the Massey Ferguson fe 35 4 cylinders. you have it in stock, please return, thank you

Khank you
