While I sat on the Massey Ferguson FE35 fitted with the problematic 23c engine, I wondered if it was ever going to start, I however I soon found out that it wasn’t, this got me thinking about how I went about drilling the head a modification that I had heard about so frequently.

Hoe was the 23C  head modified for the addition of glow plugs? Were holes drilled and tapped? What glow plugs were used?


Here is more about that tractor.

John (JV) Maddock  Down Under AT List member  (agtronixjv at southcom.com.au); Can anyone suggest where a new set of injector pipes might be obtained for said tractor? That tractor used the UK-built Standard 23C engine, with a modified head fitted with glow plugs. I have a friend who has modified his FE35 by the addition of glow plugs, but now the original pipes don't fit well, and leak.
