I am currently restoring a 1961 Massey Ferguson 35 tractor that is fitted with a Perkins 3.152 Indirect injected diesel engine.
Whilst the tractor is split, I decided to remove the hydraulic pump to inspect and replace any worn components.
Once fully disassembled, there is noticeable wear on the pump pistons and valve bodies. The scoring hangs a fingernail, so I am inclined to replace the Pistons and valve bodies whilst the tractor is apart.
The dilemma is that the pistons that are fitted look like TE20 items with 3 grooves and no piston rings.
However, the valve bodies look like the later MF35 type.
The kit I can purchase comes with new pistons and valve bodies. Will these later type pistons and bodies run on the existing pump camshaft?
