Hi;
FE35's (TO35 with Standard 23C 4 cyclinder Diesel) are known to be extremly dificult to start.
I am looking for practical (tried) suggestions to remedy this, so far most people recomend to ditch these engines and fit Perkins 3cycl diesel
Any ideas?

As Gavin suggests, the electric heater is a cost-effective answer.

An in-line block heater, 200 w or so in the lower rad hoise is probably $30 from NAPA or UAP, and works wonders. 10 min in the summer, half an hour to an hour in winter, and it lights right off, and is good for the day.

If your oil consumption is normal, and oil pressure ok hot, the engine probably does not need rebuilding. If you have lots of blowby, then rings are probably worn, and replacement would be in order.

Parts are readily available from British sources.

It's a really tough engine - ours has over 5000 hours on it, 1 known overhaul, and the crank is still standard size.

My 4 cylinder MF35 was a bad starter untill I put in new liners, pistons and had the injectors serviced. Now it starts very easily in the summer but I warm the block with an elcetric heater in the winter. It has lost its Kigass system. Before the rebuild it needed ether to start.

My FE35 was a cold start problem until I replaced the original fuel pump with an electric one. The pressure seems to have made a world of difference. I have the 4 Cyl Standard engine with glow plugs.

Does anyone know if there is an electric fuel lift pump conversion kit available for this tractor. If not what type of pump would do?
