Massey Ferguson Diesel Starting Aid

Phillip Tibbetts · Dec 22, 2008

I have a 1960's Massey Ferguson 205 with the Perkins 3 cylinder diesel engine. This was originally equiped with a manifold heater that injected a small amount of diesel fuel into the intake manifold and then ignited it using the tractor battery. I am told this system worked great, but mine has gone kaput. Does anyone know if this part is still available?

Yes the kaut part(the glow plug)an be found on this site i am sure.Check for fire in the wire from the key switch when turned to the left and check for diesel to be flowing freely.This should be a simpel mfix.Mine was.

They are available many places and only cost around $20.

Get a block heater too while at it. Keep the manifold heater for emergency use only.

I would gladly put a block heater in it but unfortunately the shed I keep it in is a long way from electrical power.
