The majority of tractos built for the UK and market used the Perkins AD3.152 engine which was well liked for its good starting performance. There is no mistaking the noise of the 45.5hp engine as it is working around the farm yard.
If you are having any problems with your AD3.152 engine or are about to undertake a full rebuild then you may find the Perkins 3A.152 Engine Rebuild DVD useful (available from our sister website – vintagetractorengineer.com). This DVD was filmed for the MF35, but most of the information also pertains to the AD3.152 engine.
