was running when parked - MF 65 update

wjytexas · Jul 16, 2014

I posted about the '58 MF 65 given to my son. he discovered it had a broken exhaust valve spring, then found the exhaust manifold full of mud dobber nests. That led to finding sand in the cylinders. Engine is now clean, head rebuilt, radiator at the shop. Next challenge - why is it stuck in ground PTO and bits of clutch material in the bell housing? I can guess.

He's gittin along. Wait until he starts rebuilding the tires....

It's amazing how mud dappers can fill any available space with their nests. Looks like he's making some good progress. Those free things usually end up costing a lot more than free. LOL

combination learning experience and character building experience. he'll have it at Moravia next year...... I think.
I'm still planning to be at the show in Moulton the 27th. It should be around 102 - 103 by then. Ha.

I plan on being in the Moulton parade, always a good time at the Jamboree. Look for Farmall "A".

Interesting, what do he find in the oil pan?

wjytexas · Jul 16, 2014
