Highlight of my day is when a new 135 video posts. I just bought my first tractor, a 1970 135. Same model my grandpa had and it was the one I grew up driving. The engine has been rebuilt but I'm finding various and sundry parts that need to be changed, cleaned of rust (fuel tank). Your injection pump video helped me out massively. Lot of gunk in the screens but I got it all out and resealed the leaky parts. Thanks for what you do, Lance.

Hi Lance, love all the videos. I can’t watch enough, your a world of knowledge and you make it all look easy. I’m doing up a 35x over in Ireland. I’ve the engine and front axle done but still a bit of work on the steering box and back end to do. Keep the videos coming, their helping my mechanical confidence greatly.

Can you help? How do I insert the small end bearings? I tried putting it in the freezer, heating the conrod to 150 C and then pressing it in. I got one in but I fear I may have distorted it It was a struggle and now I cannot insert the gudgeon. You don't seem to show this on your videos - or I can't find it

The small end bearings can be pressed in but then the conrod needs to be resized. The bearings are made small so they can adjust alignment a little.

Hi Lance I have just assembled a Perkins 212 engine, the kit was vapourmatic, I've fitting new liners,pistons and rings following your video with regard to the rings staggered either side of the gudgeon pin and plenty of oil, fitted sump and turned engine over by hand! I've now noticed vertical score marks on the liner, what could be possibly be causing this ? Everything is spotless clean with no dirt or contamination anywhere! Is it possible that the parts are just rubbish? I assumed they were made in the UK but now I'm told they are made in India even though it said UK on the boxes, just not sure what to do next, I can't catch my nail in the marks but I can see them! Thanks Wesley

Sometimes the end of a piston ring can make a mark but not a groove. You may have a burr on a ring. Normally its not a problem just a mark that disappears on running the tractor. This is presuming the ring was sitting down correctly on assembly. If in doubt drop the piston out for a look.

Ya that is exactly what I was thinking! Just want to be sure to be sure! I've put conrods back exactly as they came out, the numbers were facing the lift pump side of the engine but looking at the manual it says they should face the injector pump side! so looks like I'm going to have to pull the lot again! Is this crucial as the rods look even all round on both sides, someone must have been at it before and put them back facing the wrong side! Thanks so much for your advice! Your videos are amazing and have helped me so much👍

Hi Lance. I love your work and have watched many of your very informative videos. I wonder if I could please ask you for your opinion. I have just about finished installing my recently overhauled petrol engine in my 1949 grey fergie. The engine overhaul was done by a reputable company here in Melbourne. I was about to install the petrol tank and probably only about 15 minutes from starting it for the first time. I needed to add some more oil and on checking the dipstick showed it overfull and looked watery. I checked the radiator and all the water in the radiator is now in the sump. Needless to say I am devastated and am at a loss to know exactly what has happened. It was a complete overhaul with liners, pistons, crankshaft grind and head reconditioned. Apart from a cracked block and failed seals under the liners do you know of anything else which could be the cause? All the water disappeared over a very short period of time, so I would not have thought a crack would leak this much water. Perhaps there is something I might have forgotten. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Perry Carter

G Day Perry, There is an alloy plug in the top of the cylinder head that can be corroded that can let some water in but only down to the level of the top of the cylinder head. This can be checked by removing the tappet cover. If it is more water than that I would suggest a lower liner seal. The engine reconditioner should fix it for free as it would be re work for sure if they have just replaced the liners.

@@BundyBearsShedHi again Lance. Thank you for your reply. I have checked the alloy plug and from the top it looks ok. I guess the only real way of checking is to remove the head, but I don't want to do that before I speak to the people who did the overhaul. The level of water only leaks out to the level of the head gasket. When I look down through the cavity in the head between the second and third cylinder with a torch I can see water which is being disturbed by dripping but I can't see where it is coming from. I am pretty sure the leak is at head gasket level. It takes about 30 minutes to drain about 2 litres of water (After I added water to the radiator) down to head gasket level. What is the thing in the rear of the head and covered with an oval shaped cover plate? Is there any way my leak is coming from there? I now suspect that whatever is causing this leak was there before the overhaul because I was having trouble with oil leaking into the sump then, but thought it was the liner seals. I will contact the people who did the overhaul and see what they think. Your opinion and advice is greatly appreciated Lance. Thank you. Cheers Perry.

@@BundyBearsShed Hi again Lance. I took the engine back to the reconditioners and they found that the head around the water jacket had corroded so much that there was not enough flat area on the face of the head to seal with the head gasket. They built it up with some sort of filler and it seems fine now. It was very difficult to see this as a potential problem and they fixed it with no charge. Thank you again for your suggestions.
