WE have a 59 TO35 with a standard diesel,we did a overhaul and now we cant set the valves.The timing has been set so that 1/4 pin will line up with hole in flywheel and the letter G on fuel pump lines up with scribe line on pump housing.The fuel pump wasn't removed.We set valves on #4 to IT manual specs,then when we turn crank to set other cyls the push rods become very loose and fall out from under the rockerarms.we've checked timing over and over now i dont have a clue what to do,any help would be great thanks in advance

If you haven't had the timing chain off the engine or the Fuel injection Pump then the timing will still be OK as you haven't disturbed it. The only way that I can think of you having too much play in the push-rods is if the tappets have not been fitted. There is nothing special about the valve gear on this engine and there is no need to go delving into fuel pump timing if you haven't had it off the engine or even if you have had the timing chain off as long as you fitted the chain sprockets correctly (you can adjust them on the holes) check what is under the push-rods you should not be able to see the camshaft. If you have had the camshaft out of the engine then there is a possibility that the tappets have not been replaced and that would account for the extra free play on the push rods, of it may just be that the push rods are not fully into the tappets. There is a plate attached to the cylinder block at the back of the injection Pump, if you remove this you can see the tappetts..John

We have replaced timing chain and gears,we placed 1/4 pin in fly wheel then changed gears and chain.The cam nor the fuel pump were removed.We took the old gears and chain off then placed new ones right back on with new tensioner.one other thing you can back the adjustments all the way off and turn crank at some point atleast one pushrod gets tight dearing rotation.It just doest make any sense,I wish the manual wasnt so confusing

Well as I said in my last post about this, check that the push-rods are actually sat in the tappets. If I remember correctly they are not very big at the point the push-rod sits and it is possible that the rods are to one side and not sat on the hollow end of the tappet. Remove the Rocker shaft and try lowering the push-rods in to the tappets carefully and see if that is the problem. The manual is for the Service Engineers who had to repair these and is for their reference only, if you can't follow it then you need a simplified version that will go into greater detail. But do check the push rods first and then if you are still having problems with it, email me at:- fergusontractors@tiscali.co.uk
tell me what you have found, if anything, and I will do what I can to help...John

Thanks to all who replied,We finally got the old gray to crank.I think I just had the engine on the wrong stroke,I brought each piston to top then set valves.Now I need to move timing one tooth cant get injection pump to turn enough for engine to run smooth.Just have to figure out which way to go.standing infront of tractor pump needs to turn clockwise but it cant its as for as it can go.I think I need to move chain one tooth counter-clock wise to allow for some adjustment in pump (not sure)once again thanks

It isn't just a matter of moving the sprocket one tooth, it may only need moving part of a tooth. You get this adjustment by moving the sprocket and maybe turning it over as well, this can vary the setting by 1/2 a tooth or less and it will also vary when you use the other holes as well, so there is a great range of adjustment available. This engine is very particular just how you set-up the timing, if it isn't absolutely correct it will not start or be right down on power. If you need the correct info on how to reset the timing properly, email me and I can send it...John.

It has been years since I looked at a diesel but it sounds kind of like the cam is out of phase with the crank. Did you have the cam gear off and perhaps rotate something before it was reassembled?

Can you tighten down the adjustment on the rocker to prevent the pushrods from being too loose and then reset them per the instructions?
