What it looks like when a 23C in my TO35 can't breath.

Its a 1960 and my guess is that it's never been apart to this stage. I did do some work on it when I got it so it would start better, which it did. The blow-by got worse so I decided to tear it down for a re-build. No wonder the blow blow by was bad.

DrLoch in case you do not know I have been researching the 1960 TO 35 & 1960 MF 35 trying to find the exact number where they changed from TO 35 to MF 35. If you would please send me an email and I will send you the paper to be filled out if you would please. My mailbox is open at least on the Classic view. Thank you Richard
 
Once I got it I did do engine oil changes, trans fluid change and added a thermostat but I'm afraid the damage was already done. I also think the replacement exhaust is way to small. I'm gonna enlarge too 2" or 2-1/4".
 
Bruce, yes I did get my hydraulics fixed. I've been using the tractor to help clear land and plant seed.

My other device for clearing is this


And while it doesn't look pretty it has done a tremendous amount of work for me.
 
I could use that around here for a short time. The wife would fall in love with it and I would have another
piece of equipment. After a season or two, there it would sit. Typically the PO did all the damage and now you
just get to fix it. Then sell it to buy another one and do it all again, No?
 
The Ferguson is a keeper. I use it quite a bit around here. The loader, maybe some day once I'm done taking down trees and moving big piles dirt. It's not a huge one, weighs ~14K and the wife can operate it when need be.
 
It is unusual to see that much carbon!

I tore down an old Pontiac engine once, it was carboned so bad one of the exhaust ports was completely plugged. Only time I've ever seen one totally blocked.
