Massey Fergusion 35, Cylinder head repair with cold metal. 3 years later

This video is an update to the repair video's of the MF-35, after it had frost damage. Its now 3 years later and the cylinder head repair with cold metal still holds. Lets say this is a video for the none believers at the time. Note that this was a test and not something I would recommend

[@scattkiwiman]

that is amazing, me too I would never expect this would work for a longtime. Rust, expansion etc... must talk to my dentist about this Loctite product

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, I was also amazed.

[@Zirler]

When I watched your repair video about 3 years ago I was fascinated with your work, but honestly I had my doubts…….. well done Steve

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, well it was a test and that seems to work

After all the work on the David Brown ,I assumed this one failed. Thanks for showing update on the Massey Fergusion.

I got ferguson also. They are indestructible. It's like 70 years old and it's still fine and it's used every season. I am very pleased with this machine and i would never change it.

@@D3Sshooter Hey Steve, what happened to the COVID-19 video? It was crazy. I was going to comment.

[@D3Sshooter]

@@billjenkins2174 Good morning,
I did remove the video as there was to much negative locomotion around it, including statements that are not acceptable ( insults etc amongst the viewers). Some of the comments were not acceptable in terms of politeness despite the fact that the video was fair and honest. I could have turned of the comments, but then I turn both the good and bad off. So, I decided to remove the video .

[@lackomalacko]

Nice to see an update to this! I remember I've learned so much from the MF project videos you did back then. And I've also attempted a repair with this steel putty thing on a steel cutting bandsaw (the rotating joint on the bottom was broken, and welded up very badly, it had like 1mm play, but it was cheap... I drilled it up and added a bushing with this stuff and its perfect since than). Good work Steve!

It was a good repair option and you obviously did it correct....most times failures are due to sloppy workmanship and poor cleaning of surfaces.... Then they blame the Product!! 👍

[@normmcrae1140]

Another good way to fix a crack is to "Pin" it. It's an old technique that involves drilling and tapping a series of overlapping holes along the crack. Drill and tap a hole - install a bolt, then drill an overlapping hole - tap it, and install another bolt, and so on till the crack is completely filled with bolts. It does have it's limits, but it is a very useful technique!

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, and indeed that is another approach that works

@@D3Sshooter Dat gevoel herinner ik mij ook. Om nog maar te zwijgen dat ik me aan het stuur moest naar onder toe trekken om de koppeling te kunnen bedienen. Bij de Magirus (8 cyl.) en de Uranus (12 cyl.) was da bijna niet te doen.

Mine was a 35x (dif lock pedal behind the break pedals). Mine had a crack vertically down the middle of the block from frost. My dad welded it with a cast rod and it lasted for the 20 years I had it.

Great video as usual, one I can give a thumbs up before I watch. Do you use a normal pressure radiator cap or have you dropped the pressure?

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, this tractor has a normal cap ...no pressure

Good job, Steve. It did the trick. Tell me, does the Fergie run pressurised coolant?

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, It does not and that is one of reasons why this also works.

Size----?

[@DNomer]

It is interesting. I was not a naysayer, but it seemed risky. We might call that a metal-filled epoxy here. Some of those epoxies have impressive strength, albeit not as much as steel or cast iron. One point of interest: what is the pressure achieved by your radiator cap for that engine? The pressure inside the cooling system for most engines is determined by the radiator cap.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, that is indeed correct... the cap on this tractor has no pressure release so that helps

YES!!!!! Old Rusty

[@453421abcdefg12345]

That is a good repair, I have always ground out the crack and used a MIG welder on non road vehicles, and that seems to work for farm use, but it is easy to get another head,(not so easy to get a block), I notice you have taken off the front wheels of your tondous, is that because they hit the tractor wheels? I have the same tondous mounted on my Fergi 20, and that is a problem I have, the Fergi has no problem cutting my meadow, although I only cut it in October after the wild flowers have died back. Stay safe! Chris B.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments Chris, the reason was to get tires that damage less the grass...

[@453421abcdefg12345]

@@D3Sshooter Yes, I noticed that you had grass cutting tyres fitted, that is the same tread pattern that they use on golf course mowing tractors, with the "normal" cleated tyres I do get damage when the ground is wet, but my problem is that when I lift the deck those Tonduese wheels hit the tractor tyres, unlike a Topper of course the deck relies on the wheels for cut height, so the linkage point needs to be in a different place.

[@D3Sshooter]

@@453421abcdefg12345 I see, indeed that is a close call on mine as well.. but i have extended the lifting arms some time ago to avoid that problem.
