While sometimes it makes little difference (depending on the materials and the engineered interference fit), I always put in the freezer the part being inserted (my wife hates it!) overnight, and the part holding the inserted part out in the sun for a couple of hours, on a hot plate, or casebycase hit it with a torch. Often there is almost no force required to insert or substantially reduced force as interference fits can be 0.0002 inch which the combined contraction and expansion eliminates until temperatures normalize. It has been standard practice to replace ring gears on flywheels since before the Model A Ford.

Those rear tires are nice! What brand and size?

Thank you. And for the book recommendation. I ordered it from Amazon in the States.

John, any video on how to replace the tie rod end under the steering. So tight in there to get pressure on the undo. Advise would b appreciated.

Are you actually going to show us on the tractor, or just talk us to death?

my poor green field has lived the life of a flogged donkey. It tried to run away from home. I thrashed it into submission and still it labours on. Its been 15 years and I now have to accept it will probly out live me, marry a new owner, and have a little peace and happiness. Yes . . . It is a mower you have a lifetime relationship with folks.

Really useful set of videos. I never knew there was a gauze above the hand pump. Pulled it out of ours and it was completely blocked and was the cause of all the running problems in the last few years. I'd swapped out all the others already. Ours is a1962 and has been on the farm from new. We just use it for topping now. Thanks a lot!

Greetings from Pakistan. You made it hell of a lit easier for me. Kudos 👏

Great to see a new video from you John ! All the best from Wales

A good video this Mr. Thanks 🤘

Blowing air back through the opposite way the air normally flows damages the fibres in the filter paper changing the micron size of the filter allowing dust entry, just saying thanks for the great vid, cheers

Thanks mate, appreciate the video

SHOW..... TOP.

stupid chinese oil filter position

Very informative and well explained, Good job mate!

Hi John, many thanks for the video! I have just done my DF354 easily due to your posted information. A bugger of a job but I would have been lost without the video! Cheers

They busted not there anymore stuck with one no parts anymore

2 legends 😊 loved the video cheers for the information looking at getting one soon 🤟

We bought our 35x in 2000 and paid £1500 for it. At the time the local farmers said I had been ripped off but I wish I had bought several more back then. It has given great service and is still very original (lots of "Made in England" bits including the starter, dynamo reg. box, lift pump CAV pump etc.)

lol. Seeing people try to use wrenches to take it out make me try that for half an hour. Completely useless. I just put a piece of wire through the hole at the end of the PTO shaft and gave it a yank and it was out in seconds. You can put a screwdriver through the hole to use to pull. A slide hammer would work fine. The pto shaft can be on it and used to lever it out too.

Hi John, don't suppose you have replaced the rear axle seals on your Dong Feng have you?

Can you do anything about the dogs barking

Thank you for the step buy step explanation, very helpful! Would be helpful if I get the Massy Ferguson 35 Manual by Chris Jaworski, I have a MF 135 do

Como se hace pars medir el nivel del aceite hidraulico de este modelo 254 gracias saludos desde Uruguay

❤

Sou aqui Do Brasil te assitindo. Tenho um trator igual ao seu 😅

Great Video, Thank you, John.

did those tools come with it ,and is there a toolbox on the tractor?

Hi mate, hows this tractor holding on , been a long time you say nothing about it my friend , was wondering if everything was hope with it

Im quite surprised never heard about this oil in fuel pump before 😂

I can never understand why they persist in fitting skinny front tyres/wheels on machines with front loaders. First bit of soft ground you try to take a bucket full across, the wheels just sink. Not enough surface area for loader work.

I'm doing my 1959 M-F 50 gasser the same way; It's a working tractor, & will always be a working tractor. I'll be using rattle cans on mine, & putting on decals also. I've had Stella going on 27 years now; & she deserves a respray for being my 1st tractor, & a damn good reliable one at that 💪💪💪. I like everything your doing to your M-F 35; She's looking graceful still. Thank You for the video, & I like your way of thinking🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🤔.

Can you at least use the tools the correct way please Sir. You had the wrench and the adjustable wrench on the bolt head backwards. Not good for teaching purposes😊😊

Thanks for sharing that knowledge John, I just acquired a similar machine as part of a property purchase nth of Gympie. It uses a red nob to engage the cutter rather than that more robust looking lever yours has and the engine is only 17.5 hp. I guess they have evolved and tweaked the design a bit over the years. We also got a 2007 Dongfeng df354 which I think is the older and bigger brother to the one you have? I'm not a country person so I have a bit of a learning curve ahead of me. 😁

John P mine has 620 hours going strong 17*5 Briggs cheers Mick.

John I have a 2007 Lenar LE304 I bought from my dad, 3 cylinder diesel with only 40 hours. It appears to be almost the same tractor (made by dongfeng) and I have no manual on this tractor. Being that yours appears to be the same from what I can see is there anyway I could get a copy of your manual? Or if you have a service center you go through for support or for parts I could contact? I cannot find much of any information on the my tractor, your videos have been a lot of help I’m about to do the hydraulic oil change/filter cleaning. I’d like to know at what Intervals to change oil etc. Any info or help you could pass my way would be awesome! Keep the videos coming!

Thank you, John. I really appreciate your informative videos and your good old-fashioned straight forward Aussie way

Good to see you Merry C Christmas don't get washed away.

Mower maintenance, 101. Ready for the wet season!

Hello John. I saw your answer to my question about the grease nipples. Thank you for your reply. I did end up finding them in the end. For some reason I am not able to find your comment again, so I am saying thank you in a new comment section. Your videos are so helpful 🙂

Thank you John. I have the exact model you have and have decided to service it myself as well. Your videos have been so helpful. Unfortunately I didn't get the manual with it as it's second hand. I have bought myself a greese gun and have found 1 grease nipple between the 2 front tyres. Are there any others?

Did you have an inner "cup" with some holes on the bottom housing? Are you supposed to fill that inner part with oil too?

Great video mate, I agree they are a very well designed tough ride on. Greenfield in my opinion is number one when it comes to what they make and it’s durability.

Great video John - it's nice to see people using TH-cam as a resource (asking questions) rather than just "telling" people how to do stuff. I hope there are some people watching who can offer you some advice on this - is there a MF35 facebook group that might be able to help? just a thought - all the best from Wales - Jon

What a great fair dinkum instructional video by an true blue Aussie, my wife and i loved it, so easy to understand.I was just given a Greenfield Mini Mower looks about 10 years old with plenty of compression however have never owned a Ride on before so Johns video was just what i needed,Thanks Mate Bob B Ocean Shores NSW

Great idea to service your mower yourself. I wouldn't trust a dealer round here to do it - and this way you know its actually been done LOL

Good to show the inside of this motor so we know what to expect when we start same job.

You will be a qualified diesel mechanic by the time this is over mate.
