catgate Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 arf ...what tractor is that ?That is one of the most magical agricultural contrivances known to man.It is a Field Marshall tractor.It is a 3.5 litre single cylinder water cooled 2 stroke diesel. They were made by Marshalls of Gainsborough, who were originally a small blacksmith firm making ploughs and such like, in Lincs.,and who eventually followed the trend and started making steam engines. (They made the first tanks for WW1.)They went into diesel tractor manufacture sometime in the 20/30s, I think, but their hayday was just post WW2. They were about the strongest tractors about at that time for their size. When you look at them in detail you can see their steam ancestry. All the shafts are across the longitudinal axis of the machine and the gears all revolve parallel with the longitudinal axis. All the castings are ROBUST.They have always held a fascination for me. I had a friend over Skipton way who had one. Then when we moved over here I found that my friend with the garage also had one that he had just rebuilt. Since then he has bought two more to rebuild. The first was finished a couple of years ago and the second is getting near to completion. He keeps bring me worn bushes, pulleys, shafts, pins, clevices etc. to be repaired or remade. Marshalls have long since gone to the wall and there is only one chap in Boston making bits for them.I drove the second one just after Mark completed the rebuild. What an experience. What power... and what a wonderful noise. They are without doubt a large lump of unique quirkiness.The picture was taken at Amotherby just NW of Malton a couple of years ago, when management and I went with Mark and his son to a Rally. I don't know anything about the people in the photograph. I just saw the tractor heading for the farm yard and expected something to occur as it's govenor opened up to climb out of the slight ditch. I just happened to hit the shutter at the right time. It was not until I looked at the picture afterwards that I saw just how much it's front end had lifted. Sorry to have hijacked you thread, tankus...but you did ask.Edit:- You just got in before me. The wierd bit at the back of the tractor is a winch. Many of them had one fitted as an extra. The weird bit behind that, inpink/orange and dumped in the trailer, used to be a wench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Heh ...Ive had many a stiff arse driving one of these MF35x four pot diesel ... except the one I used had the delux roll bar and a single driving light , plus one over the rear from the top of the roll bar ...no expense spared ... luxury eh .!... you had to spray alcohol into the intake to get it started in the cold , but other than that ...utterly reliable ... twin gearbox and no syncromesh ( a crashbox , I always stopped to change gear !!!)I've seen a marshal ...It sounded like a Harley on steroids ....

catgate Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Heh ...Ive had many a stiff arse driving one of these MF35x four pot diesel ... except the one I used had the deluxe roll bar and a single driving light , plus one over the rear from the top of the roll bar ...no expense spared ... luxury eh .!... you had to spray alcohol into the intake to get it started in the cold , but other than that ...utterly reliable ... twin gearbox and no syncromesh ( a crashbox , I always stopped to change gear !!!)I've seen a marshal ...It sounded like a Harley on steroids ....We had a neighbour, when we lived over in the dales area, who had a MF 35x. Like the one you drove it would not start without sniff out of the aerosol. It got to the stage of needing an enormous gulp of the stuff and we decided it needed new pistons and liners. So he brought it across to my garage and put it over the pit and we did the job. I told him the story about not using aerosols on them. I once put an old Perkins P4 out of a Seddon wagon into a LWB Landrover that I had, and when I tried to start it that would only start with Quickstart. A friend told me that the combustion of the ether was so violent that it would break the top ring in each cylinder, and once used the engine would never start again without it. So I took my engine to pieces and sure enough all the top rings were knackered. Its previous owner must have been spraying. So I replaced them.The battery was about shot and it would not start, and in a moments madness I gave it a small sniff of ether....it started. But it would start again without another sniff. I thought the small sniff I gave it could not possibly have broken the new rings, but another strip down proved how wrong I was.So after telling my neighbour about this I thought he would use the proper heater plug procedure. Particularly since it had been a very expensive and laborious procedure.But you know what farmers are. I arrived over there one day just as he went to start up the old 35x (he had a much newer 135 that he used most of the time). He quickly slid his hand under the back of the seat and pulled out his aerosol of ether and then suddenly realised I was there and what I had seen. Neither of us said anything.

rong Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Why did you need to put it over the pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Why did you need to put it over the pitProbably to drain the oil to remove the sump and loosen the crank to pull the pistons down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked on tractors and have found they are high enough from the ground not to need a pit was my query Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Why did you need to put it over the pitWell for two reasons. The first was that we needed to be able to drive the cylinder liners out upwards, to remove them before putting the new ones in and taking the sump off was much easier working from down a pit.The second reason was that the secondary clutch was in need of "something" and we decided that it would be a good time to have a look at it. In the end all in needed was a little adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he found that it was often necessary to help it from below...he was right.The secondary clutch is the one for the PTO that comes in during the last few inches of pedal depression.
