3 point hitch failed. lets fix it. abandoned Kubota pt 2 

i agree, for these kinds of videos i like longer ones. a hour is the best

I agree with you

100% agree, 1 hour videos or longer are perfect especially on lazy Sunday afternoon. I’m also in UK (down south coast) and found Mustie’s channel about 3-4 years ago and have been hooked ever since. Excellent RU-vidr.

Agreed, the longer the better - such videos feel more involving as they cover far more of the process in a single chunk.

Here, Here !!! So tired of current "Twitter" types with the attention span of a Gnat !!! Love the sleuthing involved ... that's exactly what makes it interesting ... IMHO

I had a similar problem with a small JD , it had a dust seal , with a hyd. Seal underneath . The dust seal failed , and dust built up in the spool , causing steering fail . Then while sitting water ran down untill it was stopped by hydraulic seal , froze and cracked the casting.

Not the Mustie way

Didn’t know this thanks!

well thank you very much for the tip been having an issue with charge system on an old ford 1710 very similar to this tractor and i know i have turned off key before stopping engine for sure now i know where to look next!!!!

I guess It could happen. It never was an issue with my dad's tractors. Ie John Deere backhoes, Massey Ferguson industrial and agricultural tractors. I believe the John Deere shut the engine off by turning the key off, but on the Massey he always had to pull the stop knob. And I think my New Holland did not have a stop knob either. By the way, my New Holland ag was a piece of crap! It was less than 6 months old and damaged a gear in the transmission, and the linkage for the shift levers were way too flimsy. Driving over brush would rip wires loose on the bottom of the tractor where they dont belong, and when I tried to readjust myself in the seat it would kill the engine, among other things. I got rid of it as fast as I could!

Or for hooking up a spool valve to tip a trailer or run a hydraulic pressure implement.

some of the big boys have double acting...but very few

We always called it the drop rate, which should probably be adjusted on that second tractor so it wouldn't jerk when it's goes down. 😀🙄

52:00 he knows :-)

He gets a kick out of consequently doing things wrong.

Also keep fingers and thumbs well clear of the spider! - If the implement rocks back, the shaft will spin, and if you have your fingers in the there, they'll get munched!

"remember you are the squishiest part in the equation" lol, love it!

Yep you are the softest sausage in the shop cheers from OZ.

“Squishiest part of the equation”. LOL.

Smart. All old timers would tell you the same thing

That's a big no no.. Opps

Those were EXACT words that came out of my mouth when I saw that.

@@corey6393 It's also a salutatory lesson in why you should never disable the interlock switch fitted under the seat in some garden tractors....

I was expecting him to have a sore toe before he realized that it need to be in neutral. I never crank on one from the ground... The seat only

I did not like all that grease slathered in there, yuck! 🤢 It needs a gasket below the wheel, to shed the rainwater.

@@Hjerte_Verke even a down-facing cup that reaches around the steering column would help just like an umbrella. 😀

Or put something very untractor related in there as a surprise. Like a small child's toy, dinosaur, etc. 😁

@@TF856 love it!!! Lol Or a $20 bill

Yep get those glow plugs hooked up and it will start on the 2nd or 3rd roll. Chrck your fuse to the glow plugs. Or the wiring. If I remember correctly the ignition switch glow plug position is all the way to the left.

Glanza Guy - No Shit. He's gonna be wearing out starters doing what he's doing.

Guess I should have waited to comment🙂

Should be a place in the ignition switch for glow plugs hold to the right before the starter engages or maybe to the left, depending on the model. Mine is hold first position for a few seconds then start.

@Michael Reed yup, anything man builds can and will be broken, neglected, and misused at some point. We are only human, not perfect

That would make for a boring video though. Troubleshooting is half the fun.

In our house we say “let’s read the destructions”, lol.

my seven year old daughter thinks I can fix anything as well. one day, that illusion will fall. but, until then I will do my best.

@@stephens7107 - YES! Us too, brother! My daughter still says this at 14.

@@stephens7107 And I thought a friend of mine coined that phrase. His name was Jack though, he isn't you. 😁

...it's a solid little bugger - I want one!

That's what my wife say about me.....as I sit here watching RU-vid videos.

Nice!

🤣🤣🤣

new kobatas too haha my 2016 M7 only has gravity down.

I only know one brand of tractor that had power down, since pushing down lowers traction on the rear wheels. Belarus tractors had them, back in those days...

Huh? My old Case garden tractor has two way hydraulics on the 3-point. I can lift the back tires off the ground with it. In fact I have to use the float position with my tiller on the back since it’s too easy to push down on the tiller and lose traction on the rear tires otherwise. I would have thought a tractor like that would have double acting hydraulics….

@@notajp it is a garden tractor thing. They usually use an actual cylinder for the 3 point instead of a rockshaft line a normal full size tractor. This Kubota has pretty much the industry standard setup as far as farm machinery.

@@nocoolname32 Same. 250 lbs (me) drops it nice and easy. A 500 lbs implement is more than enough.

Laughing, I was grimacing at that as well!

Dear@@williambehles7704 👍👌👏 Best regards, luck and health.

Ha yeah.. As a former plow boy Im cringing right from the beginning.. He's lucky that thing didn't take off through the wall..

@@BAZZAROU812 I've seen that happen with a much larger wheel loader inside a shop. Scary AF.

Most of those older 3 cylinder models were Pre combustion and don’t start well with out pre heat even on 100 degree days and either is a no no as it can blow the pre cups out of the head causing all kinds of damage

No reason to waste the money till you know everything is working.

Horseshack from Welcome back Kotter, comes to mind.

@@afrayedknott1701 Might even have been saying "Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter" in an excited tone of voice, if I'd thought anyone would understand the reference.

Also wait for the glow plugs to heat up or your gonna fill the air with smoke and wasted fuel.

Always be on the tractor

True Story U no its true when u start out like that. lol A guy down the street got crushed by a old international doing the same thing. he is no longer here happened about 3 years ago..

that's why you never disable the neutral safety switch!

I was going to ask what brand they were! Thanks

I agree had to find a heavy snap ring pliers to take the hub off an 06 f-250 and those did flawlessly they were $40 but well worth it.

I've done this with silicone caulking. Lay down a bunch of beads and smooth it out with a putty knife and let it dry. Then cut it to fit. Works well on wax paper. Just peels right off.

Boot that came off looked like the same style of a boot on a tie rod end or ball joint. Might have been able to find one to fit

How about just go to the dealer and buy the seal that fits the damn tractor for the steering wheel and have it done right.

@@johnseavey6622 yeah I suppose but it's mustie you're talking about here. Plus being as this tractor is old and import and maybe a little gray market back then. You might just not be able to get every little part for it.

Had a road going tractor, same problems, used road camber to keep in a 'straight line'.

Testing hydraulics by loosening or disconnecting fittings, especially on a system that you do not know in detail, is extremely dangerous. I worry people will see that here and try it. Hydraulic injection injuries can cost you a limb or your life. Not to be messed with if you don't know what you are doing.

@@Miata822 100% true. Watched a guy working on a hydraulic cylinder for a coolant filtering system take the hydraulic line off and put an air line on it to try and get the piston out. (Hydraulic line was 10psi, and house air was 125psi) He didn't want the piston to fall out so he tried to catch it. It flew out taking his finger tips right off.

There have been a few videos over the years where I was concerned for his safety...the only one that comes to mind atm is the old tombstone radio he picked up and started poking and prodding around inside while it was on and humming.

🤣🤣🤣

Yes, but you have access to old English cars and Land Rovers at a bargain. One 60's Land Rover will use up all your spare time!

US has the best Yard Sales. Asian friends comment too.

@@MichaelSteeves I’d love to see Mustie do an old British car. He’d certainly need his welding gear…

@Greg Abbot If people would be willing to actually pay for good tools (or electronics, or cars, or appliances...) we would still make them here. Good stuff costs. If consumers only make purchasing choices based on the lowest price, well, you get what you pay for.

@Greg Abbot agreed

Oh no! I actually caught a few videos, the ones where he reactivated the Jeep DJ5..but that's all

That would actually be a fun reaction video comment section style. lol

Not just a bit. 20 seconds or more. It'l fire on the first revolution.

Sometimes I think I watch to much "adult movies" while I read this channels comment section ...

@@beakittelscherz5419 You're just naturally dirty minded.

Fiats are awesome tractors. They are extremely reliable and can handle a lot of power. We had a Fiat 80-90 DT

Have fun Mario I umpires Babe Ruth Baseball for 25 years

Watch for those fastballs, I learned that the hard way

Only lowering

Thank you for your service. I hope that you are out spinning your own wrenches soon!

@@Miata822 Thanks Mr Kerr.

Young pups! 74 here….

@@notajp 74 is the new 53.

78 here

If it was true ..i don't care I got 2 see him take it apart and I learned a little lol

To build Pressurization, circulating fluid to flow/raise ! Exactly my thoughts. Was fun to watch though

And add some oil.

You love everyone? Awww 😍

Just got home from work having a cold busch light and watching lol

If you're like me, there's a few Mustie videos I haven't watched (yet) and if I was hard up for a lawnmower video, I'm liable to find one.

Missed a "That's what she said" joke.

I know I have.

Thank goodness for William Petersen, a Danish Immigrant who invented locking pliers! He patented it and called them Vice Grips.

@@oldmanfred8676 🇩🇰👍

@@oldmanfred8676 gotten more than one rounded off bolt out with those 🙂

@@clemcon501, Nuts319 got a broken bolt out of his feller buncher with a pair the other day. The screw end was sticking out the back and he twisted it right out!

Should have watched the whole video before commenting lol. It was just bothering me.

@@60acresofwhatever Hahah you're good. It bugs me when others try to start cold engines without using the cold start procedures. Do diesel farm tractors have a choke or enrichener?

@@Hjerte_Verke mine does not. I haven’t seen any on any of the diesels I drive.

@@Hjerte_Verke no diesel engine has a choke , Some have a start enrichment circuit , some not . Some have a glow plug , some a pre-ignition chamber , some started on gasoline then switched to diesel fuel , some had preheaters , some a ether injector .

@@Hjerte_Verke I was wrong . The WD 9 ihc had a carb with choke , it started on gas then switched to diesel

Yea, Ralph, that made me giggle too.

Nonsense. All it needs is a few wraps of baling wire.
