Godfrey,

The MF35 manual only contains detailed engine information for the diesel engines.

The MF35 manual does have the section for the fuel system (carburation) of the TVO engine and also the torques/specifications of the engine.

If you are looking for dismantling/rebuild information for the main engine component then the MF35 manual refers you to the TE20 manual.

Obviously all the hydraulics, gearbox etc. are contained in the MF35 manual.

So unfortunately the information for your tractor is split between the two manuals.

Hope that helps,

Steve.
