Developed a clattering in the front of the engine last year and have been afraid to use the Ferguson 40. Have to do repairs outside when weather permits due to no barn or garage.
Replaced governor 2 years ago as old one desenigrated. Ran normal for one year, then started making a racket.
Took to mechanic last fall and replaced all rod and main bearings. He said it sounded like tappets.
Pulled the head cleaned all carbon off, everything looks fine.
Have 24lbs oil pressure.Had the timing cover off 3 times last year but couldn't find anything loose or broken.
Any ideas before I start tearing apart piece by peice. Could an oil pump cause a clattering noise. When I take off the oil fill cap you can really hear the clattering . Thanks for the help
