We bought a MF 2805 that was burned to a crisp. The winshield in the cab, the dash, even the steering wheel was burned. The engine had all aluminum intake manifolds and an aluminum hydraulic reservoir on top of the engine. I got that hot that it melted the manifolds down the intake ports and on top ofhte pistons where the valves were open. The fire even melted the injection pump and ruined it. We used as torch and cleaned all of the aluminun out of the heads and reused them with success. The pistons weren't melted and the block was fine. I don't think you fire was this bad fromwhat you described. We bought the tractor cheap and had a donor tractor rebuild this one. With a burnt tractor, it takes a lot of time to fix and there are lots of problems that are unforseen.
