So I have finally been getting the tractor the rest of the way back together. Reconnecting the fuel lines replacing all of the radiator hoses, along with cleaning out the radiator. So i go to start filling her back up with water, and radiator cleaner, when the radiator decides to start leaking in several different places it seems. So i quickly grab a bucket and start to assess the mess. So after fighting the radiator back off (figured i'd take it to the radiator shop down the road and see what they say in the morning). I decide i might as well start filling her back up with diesel and purging out the fuel system. Well surprise there is a leak. There is a small crack in the top of the sediment bowl, and it decides to spray diesel across the garage. So i grabbed more rags and cleaned up that mess. So tonight has been mostly a night of messes. I was looking forward to finally shredding around the house, since its starting to look very over grown. (heck the grass around the house (have a bunch of coastal popping up right now) is doing much better than our hay field. This year has been a bad year as far as equipment problems go.

Hi Tim,
We all have those days. We have a saying in the UK, "There's a lot of people in the cemetery that would like to have your problems!" It ain't all bad. You're making progress. Leave it alone for a day and come back and tackle those problems which will inevitably happen after a major disturbance.
Cheers
David

The good news is i got the valves adjusted according to your instructions. They all needed some tweaking. Most of them had a bit of extra gap, the 1st and 6th didnt have enough of a gap.

MF135UK, it has been a mess of work going in. I originally parked it because the oil pan was leaking bad. I figured while i was replacing it i might as well adjust the clutch. Well i dug out a piece of the clutch out from the front of the transmission housing. One of the fingers of the pressure plate broke off. So the tractor split began. Then the hydraulics were way full of water. And i think i may have found the problem to the multipower not working. When i removed the auxiliary filter, it was completely crushed on one side, and looked like it was about to fall apart. I will try to post pics of it later. I am hoping thats the only problem with the multipower.

Its been one of those days..........
