Hi All
New to the forum but have been checking this site for awhile for misc things. I recently came into possession of a 1962 MF35 with the 3 cylinder Perkins diesel motor (SN#: 229634) This tractor was included in a farm that my parents purchased back in the mid-80's. I am trying to get the tractor usable and presentable but by no means a full restoration. I could definitely use some help with this project so my plan is to keep this forum ongoing and would appreciate any and all help you can provide.
The tractor has sat for many years and i was able to get it running about 3-4 weeks ago (new ignition switch & new battery). I knew the tractor was overheating so i purchased and installed a new radiator, radiator hoses from Ebay and coolant from Oreilly's. Although the radiator doesn't fit correctly (hood won't close all the way) the tractor did not overheat after running for 20 minutes or so - it would previously. I am working to get the correct radiator for it.
The next few issues i plan to tackle are:
1 - Generator
2 - Fuel Cap (fuel spills every where)
3 - Fan Belt
4 - Get all gauges working
5 - Get lights working
To start, could someone help me get the part numbers i need for the generator, fuel cap, and fan belt?
Also, my tractor has the square-looking oil bath cleaner and the hose going from the dash to the top of the cleaner has a big hole in it. I have found that these are next to impossible to find and didn't know if someone had a part number for a clamp on filter i could put in its place? I read where one gentleman put a K&N RD-0700 filter there and said it worked fine - i just have a hard time spending 40-70 dollars on that lol
