Great video Hank,,, I absolutely love seeing these older workhorse tractors and equipment working they way they were designed too,,, thank you Hank for reviving these classics

We had a 35 diesel deluxe when I was a kid in the 70s it was a strong tractor,we pulled 3- 14 inch plows with it

Best tractor you’ve had on your channel so far 😂! I have a Massey 135 and a 245 orchard model. One thing Massey had back then is ground speed pto. I’ve used it a lot to run a hay Tedder so the pto turns slow and makes it easier on the crop. Great video!

That’s a nice Massey Ferguson tractor! No problems getting that one started. 🇺🇸🚜👍

Dad had a 35 when I was a kid. Great tractors. The Massey Fergusons had a lot of grunt for their size. You can drop it off at the house. Just put it in the middle stall of the barn.

that Perkins diesel runs right as right rain and always will. No telling how many thousands of hours are on our 135 and that baby is smooth as butter.

It’s a diverter valve. When the pipes are connected to it, you open it and it will divert the oil to hydraulic spool

Lovely old Massey 35 with a Perkins triple, built to last forever

Massey Ford and Oliver’s r my favorite tractors!

Love those old tractors! Looks like the one my grandpa had☺ Looks like the hour meter said 5200 hours....that's a lot of work done by that old girl! Great to see her running and bush hogging again (one of my favorite things to do with a tractor!) Keep Up the great work, Hank!

Dad and I also had this cute Ferguson (gray) always dependable..easy for 👩mother to drive.

Had the same tractor back in the 70s along with a 135 on a lettuce farm in upstate ny ..a real work horse

Great to hear an old Massey Ferguson run, spent many a day working food plots, and bush hogging ..

MF made great tractors in those days and nothing much ever fazed them. Great video bro. Safe travels

Hank just go to the Ford house and give them the Vin # and they will give you a couple tubes of touchup paint to fix your paint on the cab

Love the old stuff. Ther are still here and will be for a lot longer. Have a good week Hank!

She in good condition. Lucky was undercover , save alot of problems. Good battery. Air filter not good spot for the rain and grass. We call a brush hog a slasher in Australia. Good video. Thanks for sharing

When I heard it spin over to start, what went through my mind was, I think I can, I think I can

Those are nice little tractors. That is basically a massey Ferguson 35. Don't believe that many had a diesel. I'd definitely hold on to that little beauty.

I love old Massey Fergusons!

44.5 horse power.❤❤❤ i just bought one in mint condition.

The "optional" knob you're talking about on a kubota is the speed of dropping your load at the rear! It appears that's what you have too.

We have the diesel Massey 65 and would love to get one of these as well. Such amazing tractors

We use these where I used to work the best workhorse ever

💥 Great video Hank! I love hearing those old tractor come to life! *Keep on tractoring!*

Oh yeah a little ether starting fluid brake cleaner whatever you get up in that carburetor she'll fire up love the post God bless you good old boys and your daughter

One thing I've learned about tractors is it's not hard to get them started but the first thing you want to do is change the oil then change the batteries

M6 dad bought one just like it in 61...brand new. It has glow plug in the intake...run by turning the key backwards

Love the old Massey!! Reminds me of my grandfather's old tractor that he had when I was a little boy. I rode on the fender but don't tell the safety police.

The homemade custom bush hogger is doing a great cutting job. Masey Ferguson is awesome.

Great old Massey Ferguson Bush hog looks like one up toward opp Alabama guy used to make at his machine shop used to sell them at the farm auction place

Long day at work perfect timing for a beer and a HAMILTON FARM VIDEO! Cheers from MA

That'd be a great little project tractor to fix up for mowing and such. Great little barn find. Thanks for sharing, Jason

Hello Hank Another great one

Still chugging since 1960 great job y'all 👍

That’s a lovely lil machine. 👍🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸

That is a hydraulic set-up on there, on ours we found a 2 value remote that will bolt directly in place of what is on yours. Used it for equipment that required remotes to operate lift cylinders and the like.

That tractor is in outstanding shape, especially considering the hours on the clock and its age. Got it hoggin’ again - that’s what counts!

That a remote valve on top there your correct it to fit hydraulic hoses should have a screw out plug in it to connect the hoses

I’m saying with the multi power don’t go down hill when In gauged it will free wheel

Super key needs to be cleaned, a rusty key does not hold in your hands)))) great video! I love old cars!

You guys should get the fuel gauge wired and working on it we need to do the same thing dad and i on our fiat 880 dt backhoe we also will get a new tachometer cable for it to get the tach going 😄

Hank, I have a '57 MF 50, and I have not got the valve spool you showed under the seat.. Also, it needs an anti-sway bar so that mower doesn't go so far back and forth. Not trying to grip, just giving some helpful hints, .Yoiu and the family have a blessed day.

Watched this video earlier and really enjoyed it Hank. A nice looking tractor.

the lever under the seat is for the hydrolics on my 135 its for the front loader because you cant use the front loader and the back hydrolics at the same time

Those Massey Ferguson tractor's are great because my uncle had one

Thats a pretty cool old tractor! Its cool to see such old equipment kicking around... thats perfectly shows that anything old was typically built tough

We got an old Massey 135. Good video!

Alright here we go! Thanks for sharing! What a fun time wrenching on that old iron! I laughed when I saw the crescent wrench siting there haha I was waiting for you to comment on it ahah Brandell would be proud!

They are in my opinion yhe best tractor made had 4 of t he 135 on the farm and one 175 wish i still had them, sold the farm which i regret but i am 75 yrs old

Awesome cool 🆒️😎👍

I love watching old iron working doing what it's meant to do.

I just finished looking at your show your should auction them of on your show .

This lever is for Switch between Back Hydraulik and Front loader

Excellent video Hank :) also that knob control is for your arm in hydraulics pressure release for fluid and when adjusting arms of 3 point hitch height to stop when in close position in open position can adjusting too ! Also Hank it also works if had loader on arms (cylinders on left also right pressure) to keep up or middle or middle or down ) ! Plus won't be adjusting on up and down control's to Hank :) also usefull that tap stop hydraulics pressure when engine running so don't get burned by hot hydraulic fluid to and find leaks to fast plus when engine shut down you change Hydraulic fluid filter to also bleeding system like Fuel System in Desiel fuel motor on fuel filter or injectors plus fuel lines ! Yes 2 speed high and low speeds transmission are excellent too plus double clutching even shifting too especially when traveling on roads to keep up with traffic Lol! Also that Massey Ferguson tractor need J pipe made plus circle muffler called Piglet with rain cap of that manifold Hank :) if fix Desiel motor fuel are hard lungs to breath from and get Infumezem breathing problems later in life ! Infumezem is need Oxygen to breathe and worst Asthma symptoms in lungs called Silent Killer my Late grandmother Ruby also Uncle Billy JR died from it ! Only way to keep uncontrolled is Oxygen tank like Propane cylinders of Torch type and bedroom with welders cylinders with mask when sleeping! Sorry scare you Hank and everyone but be nice information about fumes do over years and Infumezem some people get in seniors age over 70 or born with it or get exposed with chemicals!

She sounds great and cuts great nice work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

THE WRENCH,and it's a crescent 😀

massey fergusen is an awsome tractor line i have a lot of faith in those old tractors i really like also a work horse is those old ford 9n tractors

Howdy Hank. Love your videos. I just wanted to let you know that our classic tractor club had a ride this past weekend. I videoed it and now have it up on my channel. There was some really nice old iron on this ride. Quite a variety of brand names too. Stop on over and check it out if you get a moment. I think you will really enjoy it. Thanks Hank.

Love it

I spotted that adjustable wrench before you said anything and I thought to myself Oh boy this is going to be a good one as soon as Hank spots it.Sure enough it was.

its a change over valve changes the hitch arms to remote for cupler hose hookup.

sounds like a good old tractor.

Cool stuff. I use my 2020 Mahindra 4550 and also my gpa's 35 yo Massey Ferguson. Both have their strengths and weaknesses

Those masseys like that are 3 speed hi lo in the standard version. I think that transmission makes it an 8 speed instead of a 6 if I remember right. Also that’s not the original seat, that’s a aftermarket replacement so someone was putting some work into it at one time especially with that sediment bowl and all that looking that new. The valve under the seat is for the rear remotes. So that tractor more than likely has two lift pumps instead of just one. I knew when you said Massey and diesel and saw that front end it was gonna start as long as it had a good battery. Before I got mine it set for almost 2 years. Turned the key and on the second turn of the crank it fired up. Also I don’t think that’s a homemade bush hog cause it’s almost identical to the one we have, just the hitch is slightly different. I believe it’s an old brown or king cutter bush hog. That thing reminds me so much of what I remember when I was younger. My grandpa ran his straight manifold until I was about 18-19. Not even a a small piece of pipe like that. O and if it’s like mine, it 45.4 hp. The gas versions were like 32hp. Sorry for the super long comment I got excited seeing another old Massey.

Don’t hit the battery posts to hard they will break the case around the post

To check the multipower is working properly poke it’s nose uphill in hi-multi depress the clutch half way and if it is working properly the tractor will not roll back flick to low-multi it should then roll back

Your video editing is getting alot better

Simple hydraulic valve on top under the seat. Called multi power. Never run it down hill in low it will free wheel and it take it out the multi power. Looks like it has continental 4 cylinder diesel.

Ole Massey Ferguson 👍🏼

We have a massey ferguson 231s at work its mainly a spare tractor ..and bedn welm used and abused ...lol ..its still a tough tractor ....brakes suck for the most part no lights or gauges work but it still pulls a 7x14 tandem axle dump trailer like nobodies business out of the plant after being built ...but i still prefer my kubota L3301 its 4 wheel drive

Love the videos

That is a valve for rear remotes had one on ours for the disc

Va,lve on top of trans is for rear remotes one position 3 point works other remotes work . That is a multi power the lever on dash gives 12 speeds like a international ampla torque, no engine braking in low on the multi power lever only in high if no engine braking in high on dash lever means multi power not working

Hello from Minnesota! Working on the tractor!

Pretty sure that lever is to lock the differential.....my brother in laws manitou has one

What a cool old Massey. Reminds me of our old Ford 641 Workmaster. I sure would like to have a larger tractor to cut the property with. We've got a 5 foot hog behind the Ford and it cuts great I just wish it was a foot or two wider.

Some vintage iron there Hank. There's many a good tune been played on an old fiddle.

Good job and God bless yall

Fired right up, love a good tractor start!

That was way tooooo easy 👍

What's the music at 0:52 it's stuck in my head and i love it 😄

Great video keep them coming I learned a lot thank you.

There's a reason why I'd much rather get a older small tractor for our small space with a 3-pt linkage. sometimes they are gas powered, and I'm pretty sure up here you can get a deal for like 3k or less for something like that. Of course, another reason is the price of the compacts. pretty much for what we would like it's like 14k at a ton of places, just for a tractor.

cool video 😎👊🏻👍🏻

Parabéns

Remote feed for rear implement cylinder I think.

Boa noite muito bom serviço top máquina amigo

that thing is spitting a compression trough the exhaust

59 år och still going strong 👍.

il y en avait beaucoup en france de ces tracteurs

hank that contraption is the switch for the rollskinardly.

Got one just like it...

Knob is hydraulic lift control. Pretty sure of it.

Like these videos

I’m surprised you didn’t need to bleed the injectors

Bushhog is a Imco or King Kutter

35's used a Perkins diesel.

Like #100 Thanks for the video! Life is a learning curve! HINDSIGHT is 20-15!
