I have some experience doing basic engine work on small trucks Ive had, but still very green and Ive never done an overhaul.
I have a 1964 MF35 w Z134 4cyl gas engine. Has been making a loud knocking noise and becoming worse, so, since Ive always wanted to learn a bit more about engines decided I would start working on it. First question: the rockerarm shaft has plugs in each end that appeared I could just screw them out....not so, I actually pushed them further down into the shaft. The only way to get them out will destroy them...suggestions? can I buy new ones? Ive only seen the shaft for sale and always says without the plugs. Wine corks??
I was planning on doing a complete overhaul with engine still in tractor, any special tools I will need? Other suggestions for general overhaul work much appreciated.
Thanks for any help, Im sure Ill be posting more over the next few months.
