I am going to overhaul my MF 203. This poor tractor has been used and abused by previous owners but yet it still runs great. Pretty much a steady stream of oil drips out of it, oil pressure is low, slight knock, none of the gauges work besides oil pressure. The engine is covered in oil and dirt from all the leaks. Even with all these issues it starts and will run all day long. In this pic I just got done pressure washing it so it does not look as bad as it did.
Before I start in on this project I was just wondering if anyone had any advice as to what I should watch out for. My goal is to install new rings, main bearings, all seals, get all the gauges working, whatever it needs. This is not a cosmetic restoration, just mechanical. I have removed the loader as you can see in the pic but that will be going back on. I use this tractor quite a bit on my little hobby farm. This tractor has the 3 cylinder Perkins diesel in it.
Thanks
