In this video I have a chat about cleaning the engine block.
Here is a link to the Kangaroo Stew where I bought it and got it running.

Lance I first tuned in for the repair information but I am enjoying the easygoing projects and listening to tropical birdsong in a warm climate in the background. I live in western canada with challenging continental dry cold nearly 6 months per year so I have extra incentive to listen to your videos .

[@BundyBearsShed]

Sounds great! Im not sure how I would go in the cold.

[@chrisduggins3435]

Lance has his video production going “ Full steam Ahead” today Good job Lance!!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes hitting it while I can, we are very busy at work so what I don't get done over the next few days will not get done until next weekend. Im even going in on Easter Monday to catch up.

[@motorv8N]

Safety Thongs! 😂 Great video Lance. Just goes to show that in all things - from engine work to paint, patience and perseverance in the prep stage will pay you back many times over in the final product.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Very true! Time spent there will save work in the long run.

[@charleshart6992]

Just the tonic for 'lock down', keep 'em coming! Looks great!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks! Will do!

[@joeltoombs2797]

been watching your videos for ages. very easy to watch and really helps. I wouldn't be surprised if i sent you parts years ago when i worked for Clancy's parts. keep up the great video's

[@BundyBearsShed]

You probably did as we had Bundaberg Field Service as well as Queensland Tractor Spares back then.

[@joeltoombs2797]

@@BundyBearsShed i remember that well. was always a pleasure to deal with.

[@StyxHackshop]

Thanks mate. Good entertaining and educational watch. I'm no tractor man but some good tips for my next rebuild regardless!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Joey-ve7ku]

Great content. Thanks for uploading

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@davidsample9130]

Good one, cleaned up real nice, I had my doubts from the other video, of course here in cda climate precludes using water straight up for engine cooling. Never seen a water jacket that looked quite like that.

[@BundyBearsShed]

This is one of the dirtiest ones I can recall seeing, but Yes I imagine coolant is a must where you are.

[@billhopper8961]

Top Job ,thanks, bill

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks for watching!

[@pm270100]

goood vid well done ///thats clean and 515 works well did plenty of OMC blocks with that

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah the 515 is good, Bareco have one half the price called R51 that I use now and I cant tell any difference. Here is a link: www.queenslandtractorspares.com.au/product/flexible-anaerobic-flange-sealant-50ml-1-7-fl-oz/

[@charlesvanderwolf5751]

Hello Lance, I did not think that the block would clean up as it did. Regards, Charles @ Nerimbera.

[@BundyBearsShed]

G Day Charles There was a hell of a lot of time spent on cleaning off camera.

[@quentinmilton9454]

Hi Lance, You could use a good quality stone with a heap of WD40 mate. so long as it's new and flat. it works a treat and is a lot easier and more maneuverable around things like head studs. love your work mate.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah that would work for sure.

[@tijnvanbeekuitsneek319]

Thanks again Lance, and you give always the reason why you are doing something, very educational I have 2 tef and both do not have enough oil pressure. I put a new pressure meter and filter but it stil stays the same. So I think I have to take the engine appart so your video is a great help for me. Regards from the Netherlands

[@BundyBearsShed]

The TEF is different Im afraid they can be a pain to work on in the engine. You need to pull the engine out completely to remove the crank to get it apart.

[@mdbadalmiah6808]

Thank you sir

[@BundyBearsShed]

All the best

[@bcbloc02]

Nice tip on the sanding block. Pressure washer was cheating. lol

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah I like a good cheat, lol.

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day mate you know a Dremel would be great for getting into the those tight spaces.........John

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes probably would, I have never got around to buying one. Might put it on the list.

[@johnkinnane547]

Bundy Bears Shed I have one Lance had it for a long time, it has long flexible shaft and you can put cutters ect . Once you got one you'll wonder how you got along with out it, there you go the selling pitch is over!

[@JonneiRedBeard]

This is a super great series Lance, thanks for sharing. I've always liked the Fergie, now I've found a rough looking one that I hope to grab, so the series is perfectly timed. I have no machining skills though, would you sell a liner lifter and ship it to Sweden?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you like them!

[@Zomsky]

I was literally about to write a comment about your North QLD safety thongs the second you mentioned them! Too dang hot for shoes

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah I wear boots at work so Im comfortable in my safety thongs, tough as toe nails, lol.

[@Zomsky]

Bundy Bears Shed I’ve got a few welding slag burns on my feet character building.... you’ve got too many slippery serpents up there for things in the paddock but... my rule is boots on if I’m going anywhere in the grass!

[@philcox3239]

Is there any chance of making a video showing how to do the timing on a grey Fergie tef diesel as I am struggling with the book thank you in advance Lincoln England

[@BundyBearsShed]

I dont have one to do at present but hopefully in a while we will be onto it.

[@daviddickey9801]

David, Northern Ireland, alright Lance, Fergie, ted20, coolant foaming from overflow. suspect head gasket, following your tea series. not much mechanic experience. anything i should watch for?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Check liner height when you have the head off is all.

[@declandiver6721]

Hi lance what grit sand paper did u use or would you recomend to use for sanding the block with

[@BundyBearsShed]

I often go to 400 It takes a while but seems to do a good job, I have used 240 grit as well with no problems.

[@grabmedis8421]

Can someone tell me fe35 and mf35 petrol have small sleeve bore? I am trying to put sleeve as these not going down? Thanks

[@BundyBearsShed]

The TE20 had either an 80mm bore on the early tractors then the 80mm on the later models. All of the 35's had the 87mm bore right up to the MF135 so there should only be one size.

[@MrNickGascoigne]

could you put any rust inhibitors inside the block where the water lives, although I guess that might not work with the heat...??

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes but in the form of a glycol based coolant.

[@vehicle_entrance]

Lance, would you ever do anything on the cleaned up internal surfaces (other than oil etc) to prevent rust in the future? Such as oxide paint or something a bit more permanent? So as it's not left bare metal touching water/coolant. Great videos, really enjoying them.

[@rogerwale4827]

Any good rust inhibitor will definately help reduce further corrosion. add it to the coolant water!

[@BundyBearsShed]

I never have and I would be worried about it coming off and blocking the cooling system as I couldn't be sure I could clean everywhere properly to get it to etch into the block. On a gearbox I would.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes the Glycol based coolant has a film that stops this sort of thing happening again.

[@vehicle_entrance]

@@BundyBearsShed thanks Lance

[@rodneytaylor6261]

Just a good old Aussie's legend.... Thanks lance... Safety thongs?? I call them Chinese work boots

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks Rodney, Yep tough as toe nails my safety thongs.

[@colinedwards5374]

Had to scrap a couple of blocks lance where the liner sits on the lip go porous

[@BundyBearsShed]

I have seen them rusted right out across the land there to.

[@nexus7tablet610]

co2 blasting would be ideal for cleaning in there. Dust free cleaning and should leave fresh clean metal.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes possibly if the crank wasnt there was my thoughts.

[@stevemacinnis1898]

Hi Lance, sorry to contact you this way,i need an expert and you're him,my TEA20 starts great let it warm up,but after going about 200ft. quits,i wait a few seconds ,starts right up,go 10 feet dies out,wait 10 secs,starts right up again then quits,i get going again starts to die pull choke out she runs 10-20 secs and dies,do i shoot her or start to drink again after 30 yrs sober. any help would be greatly appreciated. has new carb,fresh gas,filter ,but has been sitting 4 yrs .

[@BundyBearsShed]

G day Steve is the coil getting hot? best contact is [e-mail].

[@mauricesheehy2460]

can you put that seal on the liner before you put it down..?

[@BundyBearsShed]

No as the seal goes on 2 liners at a time, they can be fiddly shits of things.

[@xXtReMeGrAfiXx]

Plus ‘we would like too loctite them also 😁
