Hi Jason.
If you look in Journal 107 Winter 2023 or log into the members area you find an article about the rear engine oil seal, this will give you an idea what to look for. In my experience a lot of the time the major oil leak is for the rear sump cork and not the rear engine oil seal.

Hi Chris.
Can you post a picture of the old valve and the spring that you are talking about, just to clarify the correct part. From my understanding you are fitting a MK 2 valve into a MK 1 pump?, please feel free to give me a call my number is in the journal under Technical.

Hi Chris. On the original old type harness there would be 2 fuses, 1 for the cold start heater plug and 1 for the lighting circuit not sure what comes with your new harness.

Hi Patrick
As far as I can remember you will have to drop the rear main to change the seal.

Hi. Don't think your tractor is industrial, the rear wings are from a MF 135 type tractor and I think the yellow that you see is like a buff undercoat before the grey was applied as the top coat. I also think originally the tractor would have had red tin work and a grey chassis looking at the front ...

Hi Parker. The best place to fit a temperature probe into the engine would be the thermostat housing that is bolted to the front of the cylinder head, some castings will be all ready drilled. Newar 203 engines fitted to early 165 tractors had this drilling to take the capillary type temperature send...

Hi. Originally the steering box would have a 40 grade oil like SAE 40 engine oil. Have also used M.E.P. 90 gear oil. Not sure on the exact quantity of oil, just fill to below the filler hole.
