I just finished rebuilding my massey 35 3 cyl perkins. Use the tractor every day, been toughest two weeks ever.
I did a full rebuild and clutch. All went well, no extra parts, started well, sounds good. Very low oil pressure. Changed to a new guage, same reading.
I had 40 psi at idle and 60 at 1500 rpm before rebuild. Way too much blow by and hard cold starting. Rings were really bad and broken.
Now have 5 at idle and 10 at 1500 rpm.
Checked under valve cover - dry.
Ran for one minute and shut off.
Ran with no filtre element for 30 seconds, same reading.
Did all the work myself. Crank was turned. My name is George and I did not plastiguage. Bearings were stamped the appropriate undersize. I know I should have guaged it.
No external leaks anywhere.
Going to pull the pan off today to check.
Never realized how much I use this wonderful tractor.
