Good Day from South Africa.
I have a MF 135 to which I installed a re-built engine.
The engine [ADE 152 perkins diesel] had been standing for a number of years [5?], but after bleeding the fuel system, she fired up easily. Had to tweek the injector pump. All was well, except the oil pressure - went straight into the high red zone. Changed the guage but the problem is oil pressure - too high.
Ran the tractor - cutting grass - for an hour thinking that this might settle the pressure, but no luck.
OIL LEAKED FROM THE BELL HOUSING AND THE TAPPET COVER. LOTS OF IT.
A few questions. :shock:
If the engine has been standing un-used for these years - what may have blocked or siezed?
What seal have I popped?
How do I remedy this?
Many Thanks,
Ray Barry
