Engine rebuild TO35

[wpala]

Hi
I'm planing on rebuilding the diesel 23C engine on my MF TO35, I was wondering if anybody has used the DVD that is offer by
Massey Ferguson 35 (23C) Engine Rebuild DVD | Vintage Tractor Engineer
was it as good as promised and overall experience

Thank You

Probably a bit late of a reply. I used the video and thought it was very good. It was easy to follow and for the most part correct. I chickened out on timing the fuel injection system and got a shop to help. I couldn't follow their instructions before it was done , but can now after I have seen it done.
I overhauled my 23c a little over a year ago and am tickled pink with the results. Cam Bearings and pre-combustion chambers are about the only items that are not readily available. I ended up having to get a new (used) block as mine was cracked around the center main bearing support. I understand that is fairly common for them to crack, and blocks are getting a bit rare. Some can be welded by skilled enough person.
The whole project took about 6 months in rounding up parts and finding time. More time was spent in cleaning and painting than fixing.
