G Day Simon, Yes there were many of these back in the day. Most modern engines including these 3 cylinder Perkins engines now run a lip seal.

I hope it helps

Thanks Mohammed.

G Day Dave, Yes I have not come across any that didn't need cutting but apparently they are out there.

To avoid having a feather after trimming, use a scissors to trim that feather. Otherwise, with the blade, place the hammer handle against the rope and trim towards and against the handle.

Thank you! Cheers!

Nice and comfy until a hammer falls on my toe, lol.

Lance, I may have missed it, but did you fit the new thrust bearings before the rear main seals?

Yes Larry that was on the tying up loose ends video.

Yep very comfy for Queensland

No they are not marked but I put the flanged one to the bottom as it seems to direct oil back but In not sore if it is correct or not as I could find no mention of it in the manual. Yep I use the clicky elbow method regularly.

g Day Tim. Its good stuff alright but not on the hairs on your arm, lol.

Usually 515 or if you are in Australia Bareco R51 is half the price.

No it is a different set up.

I have one to try but have not had the job for it yet.

Yes there is and Im not 100% sure I got that correct but it doesnt leak at all.

Eddie75, they will work either way around but the half with the extra edge on it is really meant to go to the top of the engine, the other one if you look at it there is the shape of the rear bearing cap bottom in it to match the two holes in the bearing cap that are on either side of the thrust bearing locating tab, the two holes lets the excess oil from the rear main bearing drain back into the sump.

Usually they are good the trick is to soak in oil and be careful while fitting them.

Just splitting will get it done.

That is an old Sidchrome spanner. Taken over by Stanley now I believe.

Bundy Bears Shed thank you for the reply , I have a good friend down below you at the Gold Coast area , you and your videos remind me how much I like Australia . Now if you just buy a Massey 165 to rebuild I will be set !!

Use cardboard and possibly make a gasket and measure from there.

Yes but you would need to split the tractor though.

Im not sure, just check the mounting holes or look for a shadow where the old ones were.

I'm in the same predicament cant remember which one was the top one and they're both different, did you ever figure it out?

I replied somewhere else yesterday.

I leave it protrude by around 1/16" to compress tight when done up for as firm fit around the crankshaft.

Thank you for that. I doing one on my massey 35 as its leaking.

Im likewise facing this project on my 35x.

Ill have a look, perhaps I did. not sure. It doesnt leak at least.

It is sort of ribbed so you cant seem to slide it really.

G Day Martin, They can be noisy buggers.

If you are new to mechanicing torquing would be good to do but with experience not so important.

@@BundyBearsShed fair enough. Thank you!

@@BundyBearsShed what media did you use to blast that cast aluminum?
