I'm looking at a 35 Diesel, around 1963, somebody started to do engine overhaul , then changed their mind. Sheet metal and rest of tractor looks OK, price is negotiable. How much work am I looking at to do an inframe overhaul, and is it doable for the average weekend mechanic? It seems that I fix everything else around here from the chainsaw to the skidsteer, but I've never tackled an engine job YET! Any comments or things to watch for?

I suspect if you work on a skid steer loader you shouldn't have a problem. My neighbor did the work, I was the gopher on my 35 with Perkins diesel. He is very mechanically inclined, but damaged a new sleeve so I had to purchased another one (they came with the complete overhaul kit). We ended up using a suggestion that I saw on this site, and put them in a freezer overnight. Worked very well, but he did make a tool to help push them into the cylinder. The second near disaster was he almost forced the oil pan off because he was certain there were no more bolts holding it on and there are at least one, maybe two that are not obvious at the rear (closest to the transmission) end of the engine. He was smarter than that so told his gopher to go under the tractor and run my hand all around the pan and I found them. Seems like there are slightly recessed. Also, a tool to remove the old sleeves would be better than tearing them out like we did. Good luck, C. T.
