The injection pump timing gear must be fitted correctly in order that the injection pump timing is correct for the Standard 23C engine.
The process of how to do this is shown in our MF35 (23C) Engine Rebuild DVD.
One thing to be aware of is that the measurement (45 degrees anti-clockwise from the master spline) is […]
It is quite common for rain water to get down a tractor exhaust pipe and into a cylinder. Often people have put a tin can over the exhaust to protect it, but then the wind has blown the can off.
The question is what we need to do to remove the water and make the engine […]
We’ve had this question come in…
After about 1 to 2 hours running my MF35 3 cyl 1960 model starts loosing oil pressure. Also if taking out the oil dipstick, exhaust gases/smoke is coming out. How can I fix this? can a good DIY man fix it without an engineer? Is it safe to continue running […]

It shows the compression measurement at […]

This engine has only done a little over 6,000 hours, but hasn’t be well looked after. The owner is a gentleman who takes lots of care and time looking after his pigs, but unfortunately spends little time on machinery maintenance.
A couple […]
Bleeding the fuel system on a tractor is a relatively straight forward job. However, it is not uncommon for people to contact us saying they have fuel to the injection pump but cannot get fuel to the injectors.
Recently an owner of a TEF-20 wrote in thinking he must be doing something wrong, but he didn’t […]
We regularly get emails coming in from people saying the’ve overhauled their engine but it still doesn’t start or run very well.
When we dig a little deeper we begin to find out why.
It always amazes us how many people go to all the time and effort of of dismantling an engine and then only do […]
The Question
We’ve had a query about aligning the letter G against the circlip mark when timing the fuel injection pump on the 23C engine. Bob has followed the 23C Engine Rebuild DVD and notes that on the DVD it shows the circlip mark on the lower side of the clip gap. However, Bob’s tractor has […]
