MF135 Petrol

There was a firm in Australia manufacturing a spin on OIL adapter for your Engine..

My apologies for calling you John.

Makes mine look a little sad, But I am restoring as I go.2

Having Fun and learning a lot.

Cheers Bill

The Governor weights were ready to fall off/detach from the holding pins. Chain, Sprockets, Governor ,Gaskets, Front oil seal were replaced at sometime in 1967> 1969 when a MAJOR was done to the ENGINE. I rotated the crankshaft CW/CCW and noticed 4 TEETH on the FLYWHEEL had to move before the DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR would move. Now only one tooth on the flywheel will pass before the Rotor moves. The governor was sticking at full throttle and would not idle down.

Info I compiled when REPLACING Crank sprocket ,Cam sprocket and Timing Chain.
(1) 85 MM Bore Engine:

(2) Front Lip Oil Seal National /Federal Mogul Lip Seal # 472164V A SMALL amount of BLUE Silicone was placed around the inside bore of the front timing chain cover before Lip seal was installed:

(3) I installed a repair SLEEVE on the front drive Pulley, make DURA SLEEVE # 99175. The sealing area were the LIP SEAL makes contact was slightly grooved. Dura Sleeve specs. 1.745>1.753 Diam. # 68 Rockwell Hardness:

(4) On installation the Governor plunger shall be re-seated tight against the Flyweights and no weights shall be loose or hanging down:

(5) A small amount (only enough to make the surface shiny) of engine oil was added to the shaft of the governor PLUNGER as well as the timing chain:

(6)There are NO timing Marks on the NEW Sprockets. You may wish to line the timing marks up (facing each other) before you remove the sprockets:

(7)Place the old sprocket (CAM SPROCKET) on top of the new sprockets and accurately scribe the new sprockets as to the timing marks. There are FOUR hols in the hub of the CAM SPROCKET. Keeping turning the old sprocket until the four hols and all teeth line up. These hols are slightly off set. I used several SHOULDERED cap screws to ensure I had the new and old sprockets properly aligned. You may have to flip the old sprocket over...see right up:

( It's good practice to measure the thickness of the hub of the old crankshaft sprocket and the new crankshaft sprocket as the teeth on the two sprockets should align for both proper operation and longevity.(there were shims between the old Crankshaft sprocket and the shoulder portion of the crankshaft):

As you seem to be deep into the Cam / crankshaft drive area ..... this is the one area that always suffers from PREVIOUS OWNER SYNDROME. That is this area is NEVER given the rightful attention. When the FLY weights fall off and become jammed the chain and sprockets ...this is a true pain in the ARSSSS.
If you install new Cam sprocket,Crank sprocket,Chain,be sure to check with straight edge that the Cam sprocket aligns with the Crank sprocket. There was original SHIMS place behind the Crankshaft sprocket as per required:.PREVIOUS OWNER SYNDROME.

Do a comprehensive inspection of these Governor Fly weights:

All the best..... these tractors are a beautiful machine...PREVIOUS OWNER SYNDROME....has cause a lot of problems:

Bob....Retired Power Engineer...Owner operator TEA-20's

I'm not connected to this parts supplier...as I own a Ferguson with a STANDARD PETROL Engine I keep parts suppliers info..

Info I recorded when I replaced the Timing Chain / Sprockets on a English Standard Petrol Engine Installed in a Ferguson Model TEA-20.

Maybe of interest..

What I am unable to do is remove the crankshaft pulley. I am starting to believe that the key was misaligned when put back together (By Others) when last removed.

I have since had a conversation with a respected motor mechanic who has said that if the key has twisted or disfigured, and is now digging into the cam shaft, the likely hood of removing the pulley with out destroying it and or damaging the crank shaft is at best a guess. I will see if I can procure a replacement pulley, and if so the safest approach may be to gently cut the old one off..your thoughts.

Many thanks Waggawill

Not sure why you have not call these guys?

AnySTANDARD Engines that I have seen have free standing WETPOWER Cylinders,(NOT Sleeved)as well as Timing Chain and Sprockets. The little sister to thre MF ,the TEA-20 also have the STANDARD Engines..

Bob..

Is the engine a Standard....
What make is the engine in your Tractor?
