175 Hydraulic Lift Cover Removal 

That's 10 times better than I'd imagined it would be.

Nice to see you back on the old lass 👍. It always surprises me, up you can have something that has a little bit of water in and it’s ruined or something that’s been stood in it and it’s fine 🤷‍♂🤦‍♂

That standpipe amazing how often I came across that being refitted after having the cover removed and missing the union at the bottom and people wondering why the hydraulics didn't function 🤔😂 the innards didn't look to bad at all as you said a product of good British engineering 👌 great video 👍

Looking into the abyss never looked so good!

Was imagining the worst when you looked inside but that was a pleasant surprise. Also noticed how good that Elora socket set looks for something that's probably as old as the 175

Excellent update - looks great in there!

Great video a pleasant surprise inside the backend no welding🤣the videos are really interesting keep up the good work 👍

Good video Clarence. Least the man with the welder hasn't been inside and We know the 165 will be resurrected

Looks good inside, sludge at the bottom, but isnt it always like that. Good to see no gloves, a real mechanic. Reminds me of a callout many years ago. A Standen solobeet harvester with a 135 skid unit. No hydraulics, so they just undid all the top cover bolts including the ram cylinder nuts, didnt touch the side covers, just hooked the top cover with a chain to a loader tractor and pulled!! Not pretty when I removed it properly. By the way, Massey instructors at Stoneleigh always called it a stackpipe.

Good content, Clarence 🚜💯

All that silicone, somebody definitely didnt want to loose all that water they put in there 😁

I am currently working on a 165 with pressure control. It is my understanding that a tractor with pressure control does not have a pressure relief valve on the pump it is on the lift cover yet yours has a relief valve on the pump. I like your videos.

Thanks for the video. Very interesting.👍

Good job Clarence, You know Your stuff, fair play👌👍🙏🙂

Better engineering back then the old machinery stood the test of time. Great job Clarence think I would have thrown that camera in the waste oil with all its focus problems lol

Have been waiting for this vid, have my top cover in bits at moment 👍

A very enjoyable video

The inside is serviceable. Not bad.

Those innards don't look bad at all!

Well that wasn't so bad was it? Quite remarkable really. You must be quite pleased... 👍

Was expecting the worst when you said it had been sat full of water but I’m amazed at just how well it looks in there hats off to those who designed and manufactured at Banner Lane. Am I correct you mentioned the 175 came from the Lake District? Years ago used to go up to Carlisle to the collective machinery sale at the auction mart which if I remember right stopped when foot and mouth was raging about 2000. Anyhow there always seemed to be quite a lot of entries of all and any makes in similar if not worse than the 175 some of which were too bad to tell what breed they were without close scrutiny Like a line up of welfare cases. We always thought up there was a bit of a hotspot for total neglect of even basic maintenance a very sad attitude. Good to see you back Mr Fudd keep up the good fight 👍

So I followed your video to take mine apart reason is my tractors pto wouldn't disengage. I tried taking the side plate off with the pto handle and it has resistance why would tbag be? I didn't want to yank it so i took a break

Wow, that’s such a testament to the days when the quality of British Engineering was still Great. Used, abused and knee deep in rust promoter but still shining ☀️ (on the inside anyway 😂)

Great vid as always, keep them coming, just wondering I've a 365 with an 8 speed box that s a bit worn and needs some TLC iwas thinkg of fitting an 18 speed unit in its place any thoughts ?

Thank god there's no horrors insideM

This is the nastiest tractor I’ve ever seen.
