Are the lifters on a MM UTS 1951 model a pc design, I cant find any pictures on them, I took the tractor apart about 4 years ago and now I am putting it back together and cant remember if I took lifters out or not! There is still something in there where the lifters go It is round like a lifter but then it is hollow with a solid bottom, right before it gets to the bottom of the lifter there is a hole on the wall to let oil in i presume. the engine is the 283 A4 model. It sonds like a very dumb question but I just cant remember pulling the lifters out and the ones that are in there just dont look like lifters, I have been around engines my whole life, this is the first tractor that I have torn down to restore. Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what you mean by 'pc design.' If you were expecting hydraulic lifters, that is not what you got.

What should be in your engine are solid tappets about 1-1/4" dia. They are kinda cup shaped, with a recess for the pushrod to go down into, and they do have slots in them for the oil to ooze through. They work well if you keep the valve clearance adjusted properly.

You can put them in through the top of the crankcase if the blocks are not on, but if you already have the blocks on then you will have to put them in from the bottom, provided you haven't installed the crank first. You will probably have to use some pretty stiff grease to make them stay in the bores while you put the cam in.
