Buying & Restoring my childhood-dream tractor MF 590-4 

That was beautiful. The Massey 590 is a classic, and you did a great job on it! Love the old promotional footage you included. Greetings from USA.

Awesome storey mate. Awesome tractor and it’s nice to hear your passion. A fine machine. Sounds well

U re a talented man , ur story telling and music Choice was perfect , the tractor came out amazing as well thanks for sharing this video with us .

Wonderfull! My hart opened. I used to work with a MF 590 2 wheel drive and a MF 575 back in the seventees and early eightees. They were wonderfull tractors. The first MF tractors with silent cabs. With powersteering and a radio. I loved working wirh them. They were strong and sturdy. And the sound of the Perkins 4 cylinder diesel engines was like music in my ears. I understand your feelings. I wish I had one. Enjoy your wonderfull work and that amazing tractor. Well done!!!

Great video and story

Nice to see the uk registration.. I was registered in Shrewsbury Shropshire AW. I live near ish to there and many old registrations are in Wales.

You're story is so touching. I have found my dream Massey as well, and enjoy it every day....!

love the shukers sticker on the bonnet

Beautify done

Wow that tractor looks amazing. I drove a MF590 growing roses on my first job in the 1980s. I now have a MF135 like the one my Dad drove

Fin film och fantastisk traktor. Har en 575 4wd som jag kör i skog och på fält.

Very nice 1976 my father bought 2 590s one 2 wheel drive the other 4 wheel drive with a opico turbo sadly with inflation and delays for the 4 wheel drive tractor to run along side a JD 3130 HWFD was cancelled as the dealer wanted thousand more for that tractor so we had two 2 wheel drive 590 s one was the main spraying tractor for years that big door took some stick from the wind was like a sail welded up many times ours were supplied with 13.6 12x38 PAVT wheels for in row work in the potato fields.😊

590 är en superbra traktor👍Har en bakhjuldriven -79. Bra video👍

awesome story and video , thanks for sharing, nice tractor too!!

The 500 series cab paint had rust mixed in!! I spent many hours in a 590, great machine. Also 575, 698, 699 and 2620. Over here in Australia I have a 240 for keeping the grass down. BTW my father is from the west coast of Norway, Oystese.

Agricultural contractor I worked for up in North Yorkshire bought very first one in the area, At the time he had 14 MF tractors ranging from 135's, 165's, 188's and 595's, all 2wd, in an area bordering very steep land, 4wd was essential, he was leaning toward buying small front wheel County's, all his full time staff were all for it due to near "DO's" we had, So a 590wd came, I badly needed 4wd pulling a 2 row Grimme spud harvester with often another tractor chained to the front for a little help. I was the luck bloke to get it, I had 100 acre's to lift on the Yorkshire wolds, some sweeping hills needed 4wd, Massey never let me down once, before setting of, boss told me to only put it in 4wd if needed, bosses for you, I tried both on the flat, I never had it in 2wd after my little test.............I found its achillies heel you may say, tractor was a multi power, I knew how to use it, being using it for years, on my way home with cleaned off harvester, getting pushed a bit faster down a small hill, there was the biggest bang underneath, the shaft to the front sheared, the lose shaft crashed into the gearbox smashing the casting dumping all its oil on the busy road................It appeared having no centre bearing, the shaft had got a wobble on, bent then sheared off where it came out of the drive smashing internals too...............Took MF 6 months to sort it all out, boss bought his County, never any trouble with the change of colour.

I’ve got a massey 560 In original untouched condition, 1200 hours from new

Great job, very smart.

Brilliant video your tractor looks amazing 👍

My dream tractor is fiat 110-90 turbo dt and i have it :) Nice video keep up the good work!!!

Hi Magnus what a great put together video & for you to get your childhood dream tractor. I used to drive in my teens a MF 590 2 wheel drive 2 door cab model with the sliding side window. There is a MF595 4wd full cast wheels all-round at a small pig farm near me. with no love show to it. regards' from the UK

Hey! Congratulations on the channel. (From Brazil)

Stunning old compact tractor 🚜🙌🏼 i have bought my very first Belarus soviet tractor 🚜☺️ still a therapy to drive as I had dreamed of buying a tractor from very very long time ago so it came through even tho I don’t use it that much 😂 only for therapy driving ☺️🤣

nice massey

Are you using a 14" plow with a 16" track width? Looks like it. The Perkins engines in the 590´s and the 680´s for that matter had superior lower rpm torque, but lacked a little as rpm rose. Around here several of these got retrofitted with a turbo which made them great pullers and gave them the torque reserves needed to exploit the 4wd properly.

Your better at restoring tractors than ploughing 😅

Forstår din begejstring 100%. Flott job , kan nesten lugte den nye malingen !
