Overview
This is a hands-on frost-damage diagnosis and teardown on a 1952 MF 35, not a buyer's walkaround. The creator degreases and inspects the engine, finds cracked core plugs, a cracked cylinder head and water pump housing, checks oil and coolant, estimates repair cost (roughly 800-1000 euros), then fully disassembles the head, manifolds, and tumbler shaft. Best for owners diagnosing frost-cracked engines or following this specific rebuild.
An owner-mechanic documenting their own repair project on a tractor they towed home, first in a multi-part rebuild series.
