In this video we are back working on the Massey Ferguson 50B Digger, we address some of the more concerning jobs as the 50b starts to come back to life.
Big thanks for John Conaty Tractors for helped us out big time with the front rams, it certainly helped us move forward more quickly.

Lovely to see the older machines still going today, I just bought a 1975 Ford 4000 as my first tractor and I couldn't be happier.

@lynnew5619 23 дня назад

My Irish father who died many years ago would be laughing to see me watching an Irish farmer, but I love your videos.

@jaapbruijn1300 23 дня назад

That little Massey digger has been abused over a long period of time. It luckily came into your hands Adrian. Keep working on it, it deserves it!!

@bobuncle8704 23 дня назад

Nice progress on the digger. She’s going to be a mighty fine unit when your all done.

@richardparkinson8651 23 дня назад

The dogs are supervising 😂

@swiftyscotsman 23 дня назад

Honestly Adrian, You could start a 2nd channel for restoration lol. Loving it as much as the farm work. Great video brother.

@IFarmWeFarm 23 дня назад

There’s a second channel that’s perhaps in the works 😉 nothing to do with farming though

@teammj2855 21 день назад

More oil changing yes🎉

@Evelyn-cy6hw 23 дня назад

Loved your joke about the Warranty! Thanks for your time and great effort in making this video for us!

@odick100 23 дня назад

He's a gas man. The reference to the solar panels also

@lynwill65 23 дня назад

I just love watching your videos when your repairing old machines and other things. My Dad would have adored watching you too.

@haggielady 23 дня назад

My Dad would have been on the phone to him either helping or telling Adrian what not to do! And he lived here in Florida.

@robyntaylor7476 23 дня назад

The weeds you asked about at the gateway you were at last week isn't chinese vine, it's burdock! Hence the smell. The root is what is used for Dandelion and Burdock fizzy pop.

@tonylawlor3503 23 дня назад

Typical farmer heart is what make all work brilliant😊

@willyfindlay4398 23 дня назад

Watching this while my wife is at Church my relax of the week.😊😊😊

@andrewjones-productions 23 дня назад

I'm sure God will forgive you watching a good, hard working man like Adrian. Your wife may not however. Bolts of lightning come in all guises. Beware.

@soloheadlad 23 дня назад

I'm new your channel as my neighbour/best friends father has a 50b for as long as I can remember at least 30 years. We're going to restore it and bring the auld girl back to life again. As we've a plant hire partnership business together we think the 50b would look class at the front of the office/yard when people arrive in. She hasn't been moved in 17years but it did drive in to the shed when it was built.

@IFarmWeFarm 23 дня назад

Have a look to see what engine is in it, it’s stamped under the exhaust manifold on the right hand side. Even after a long sit, them old Perkins engines are bomb proof

@nataliegraham9552 23 дня назад

Fascinating to watch you work on such a diverse list of fixes/installs for this equipment, Adrian! I have absolutely no clue on any of it myself, but your confidence and steady hand in all the tasks is something to admire. I had to laugh at the end as you labeled the kill switch since I was slightly worried about that since I knew if it was me, I'd be doubting I would remember which was 'fun' and 'not fun' after the first week! 😄 Excellent update on the digger and great to see a lot of the big to-do items checked off the list. Thanks, and I hope everything is going well for your family. Cheers from over here in the States! ❤🐄❤🌱❤🌞❤🚜❤

@IFarmWeFarm 23 дня назад

Cheers Natalie

@IntermediateSolutions 23 дня назад

Is it worth putting a 'protector' over the kill switch to avoid catching it with the bottom of the operator's trousers bottoms, or heel? Maybe an inch long piece of 2" pipe.

@SA-76234 23 дня назад

Look great friend. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy old equipment myself. A little work goes a long way.

@ronaldlucas5360 23 дня назад

Thanks Fer taking us along with you and I enjoy your videos.

@davidfennell5124 23 дня назад

Pure joy watching you repair and fix the old girl, great work!

@richardmorgan9918 23 дня назад

Another great video Adrian- practical wisdom with logic and humour…. Always look forward to the next episode 🤗

@pauliinndaly3586 23 дня назад

It’s looking well now, Adrian. Great job in it.

@diarmuidboyce829 23 дня назад

Great video as always adrian and we will all hope that this weather will stay with us for the next week and a bit for dry silage ground 🙈

@claetuswoodroofe1854 23 дня назад

Adrian check the oil in the brake housing s to make sure it’s not contaminated with transmission fluid which can happen if the internal seal fails but your transmission oil doesn’t luck contaminated with a axel oil. Transmission oil is hard on the brake discs

@IFarmWeFarm 23 дня назад

Yes I was looking that up, the transmission oil was perfect and at the correct level thankfully so all god there. I was told if I had of run it for 10 minutes and then checked the level it would have been fine 🤷🏻‍♂️

@brianocallaghan7716 23 дня назад

Adrian, i noticed when you refitted the bucket tilt rams, you put the upper side in the top hole. That reduces your bucket mechanical self-levelling acfion quite a lot. You'll find your bucket will tilt back when raising your loader. Works much better when those rams are in the bottom hole. Also, dont ever complain about being tall. It really annoys short-arses like me!😂

@IFarmWeFarm 23 дня назад

When I took them off one side was on the top hole and then other on the bottom 🙈. I was just guessing as to which one to use but I can certainly change that easily. Thanks for the advise Brian 👌

@brianocallaghan7716 21 день назад

We used to have one in our dairy farm in West Cork. Reliable workhorse.

@benwinstanley101 10 дней назад

It will be great to see it all done all the jobs n maintenance plus it will be worth while in the long run for your self

@patriciamccormack7626Teashee 23 дня назад

Aww what a Fantastic video Adrian 👍💯 Woohoo Massie we have Lift Off🎉 BIG shout out to John Conaty Tractor's 🚜👍🥰 Great problem solving 🛠️ Adrian, in the word's of Jaws 🦈 "We're gonna need a bigger 🔨"😂 I'm so pleased for you, it all coming along nicely👍 Have a wonderful day Adrian and family ❤

@IntermediateSolutions 23 дня назад

It's been a great video to see the workshop of the people who rebuilt the rams! 🧑‍🔧

@everestyeti 22 дня назад

Well done for saving her, I think it's important for these old machines to be saved. They are still useful and can do, with a bit of love and tlc the job they were designed for. They were the backbone of the construction industry, before the new age of diggers came onto the scene. Looking forward, when you have the time to the next chapter. 👍

@paddy294 23 дня назад

The digger progress is coming along slowly but surely

@ultanb 23 дня назад

Great to see an older machine being refurbished rather than getting the hot spanner 😊 Thanks for making the video of the progress. Really enjoyed it. The Massey will be a useful bit of kit when you get it finished

@georgemorrison6689 23 дня назад

Well done Adrian, first class video, great to watch while your having a bite of lunch, that a great thing to take your mind of the joy of farming, hope your getting your silage done while the weather is good, good luck to you all

@irishdancer2753 23 дня назад

Adrian, great work! I am not a farmer, nor a mechanic, but I enjoy how you explain all the work you do on your tractors/equipment. You make it all look VERY easy, which I see is not. Thank you for taking your time to show us!

@haydenbretton2990 16 дней назад

Adrian, watching you service your MF digger the Beatles song come to mind, "He likes to keep his fire engine clean". Indeed Adrian, you have and are dong a cracking job on that machine, "Good House Keeping".

@jeffelliot3977 23 дня назад

Credit to you, your the most versatile and clean farmer I've ever seen.

@rogerquenault7207 23 дня назад

Great video as always, as you mentioned nice to have something different and what could be better than repairing an old but still useful Massey Ferguson.

@user-fk4mg2pq2n 23 дня назад

Great video as usual, love a bit of Sunday fettling.

@DTS1838 23 дня назад

Hi Adrian,I could be wrong about this re Massey 50B but generally you would check the transmission fluid level with the engine running if you have a dip stick ,it’s that way on my 3cx and most automatic transmission with a torque converter.

@stuartjgarland 23 дня назад

Great to seee tge transformation taking place, and great to see old tech

@dermotward6540 23 дня назад

Great content on the Massey! Take care....

@scottfoster2487 23 дня назад

Use exstention cords for the lights,comes with a tough outter jacket and good wire on the inside and it makes it easier to put protection on. The transmission filter should be straight up from were it is hanging.

@dplawson2366 23 дня назад

Fantastic work Adrian what a transformation already

@farmerslife2612 23 дня назад

That was a great job lad on that J.C.E 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉your doing a good job on that

@deutzmans1 23 дня назад

I am enjoying watching all these repairs ,just for information for those embarked on the same mission on a MF 50 with dry brakes the brakes are in the same location as yours but have a seal to the differential so no oil on them ,the whole axle has to be removed each side to replace parts

@js8039 22 дня назад

What I use to clean cylinders is the drain snakes you connect to pressure washers . Those special spray directing tips really clean enclosures like a cylinder. I then use WD40 or your preferred water displacement liquid. Then mop it out real good.

@birkettgate7484 22 дня назад

Well done Adrian in getting as far as you've got. I have an older digger with the older style cab but they have a lot of stuff in common. A local chap changed the bottom slew bearing for me recently and I'm sure he had that bottom housing off but didn’t take the digger arms off. It's funny but the warranty seems to have expired on my old machine as well.

@andrewjones-productions 23 дня назад

Now, this is a job well done. I wouldn't expect anything less from Adrian. Just an idea about what to do with the floor of the cab. Obviously the rusted out holes will need attention, but I'm wondering whether painting it with bed liner, the popular hard wearing textured stuff from the USA called 'Rhino Liner' (I think...if I'm wrong, someone please correct me). It would likely give you a hard wearing and slip free surface for the cab as well as help protect what will be a heavy traffic area. Of course, you might have a better idea. Just a thought.

@nataliegraham9552 23 дня назад

You've got it right about one of the commercial names for the spray-on protective bed liners, Rhino Liner, here in the States. There's another version called LineX too. There are lots of options of the do-it-yourself versions as well, which I would think would be available in some form over where you are. It holds up great to hard use as long as it's applied correctly.

@IFarmWeFarm 23 дня назад

I was watching a guy on RU-vid in the US that was using a rust inhibitor spray, it turns the left rust into a primer. I was thinking of doing the same once it’s proper cleaned down and all the body works is repaired. The bed liner paint does sound interesting 🤔, i’ll have to do some research on that one. Thanks for the ideas as always Andrew 👌

@IntermediateSolutions 23 дня назад

Phosphoric acid will convert the rust. There are marine polyurethene paints that will 'seal' it. Should be suppliers around the coast! Lots of info on forums. Local online 'market places' will have cheap rolls of old conveyor rubber belts that would make decent floor mats. imho.

@IloveMK 23 дня назад

Excellent job well done, all you need to do now is paint the whole thing 😂 Your doing a fantastic job bringing that old girl back to life.

@Andy-ix2ox 23 дня назад

Thanks for the video. I’m feeling a bit nostalgic looking at this video, my father had a 50B back in the day and we did some amount of work with it, he bought it new sometime in the late seventies as far as I remember and we traded her in in the mid eighties with well over 10,000 hours on her, many’s a day I spent 14 / 15 hours working that old girl . She was as they say a jack of all trades and most definitely a master of none but she was a tuff old girl and stayed going even with the amount of abuse she got. I’d say she was sold by the ton years ago but it’s nice to see her sister getting a bit of a clean up and the opportunity to remember how we were able to do so much with what we had back in the day when time was never really an issue as my father used to say, when the good lord made time he made lots of it!

@IntermediateSolutions 23 дня назад

There's a comparison somewhere on RU-vid of the running costs of a 'digger' vs an 'excavator'.

@Andy-ix2ox 22 дня назад

@@IntermediateSolutions saw it but the point is that most of us have wheel loaders of some discription and either have a track machine or hire one in for the digger work because they are just more efficient and nowadays time is money and money is scarce.

@homey3051 23 дня назад

In the US we call that type of equipment a backhoe.

@andrewjones-productions 23 дня назад

For me, having grown up in Wales, these are called JCB. Regardless of manufacturer. Much like we call all vacuum cleaners, hoovers and you don't vacuum clean your floors, you hoover them. So, if you want to get a contractor to bring a digger/backhoe, then you ask for a JCB.

@jeremiahkearney5191 22 дня назад

Great video angain

@vxnova1 23 дня назад

Aye those impacts would definitely void the warranty. 🎉😂. Classic.

@benwinstanley101 10 дней назад

Get that heater working 😅 for winter

@IntermediateSolutions 23 дня назад

There's something 'nice' about old machines in their working clothes, rather than being fully resprayed in a garish colour. Apparently they're worth more too. The original paint gives a sense of how well they were looked after, that is whether they were stored inside or pulled out of a hedge 😬. Stay safe! (A well made (/restored) mobile hoist might be a good investment).

@kevindunleavy4532 23 дня назад

Great that it's still in warranty.....🧐

@IntermediateSolutions 23 дня назад

Maybe only with the receipt. It's possibly in a biscuit tin somewhere 😊

@martinrs1411 23 дня назад

I think you should have checked the transmission oil with the engine running as the torque converter sucks a lot of oil in to it. That is why the level seamed high. Love the videos keep up the good work.

@Gearoid35 23 дня назад

Great job great to see it getting a second chance, you would be better running a new earth wire all the way no joints.

@julianhawker7672 22 дня назад

Coming together well. Have a look at 4 way angle spanners/wrenches, there a game changer for doing hydraulic pipes in awkward places and would be a good job for you once you get to the backactor. HTH PS: Teckton do them individually and they are really good for the money.

@user-ry1ne6ff5i 16 дней назад

Hi from Canada.. I recently started watching your channel and thoroughly enjoy it. I'm truly amazed at your knowledge of machinery engines & fixing them. Did you take farm machinery repair courses when young or are you self taught?

@karolschulz48 23 дня назад

I love to watch when you are bringing new life to old machinery! I hope you didn't pay much or anything for your digger though, all the time and parts you are spending to fix it up. Oh well it will look great and you know it will be safe and dependable when it is done. I kinda laughed when you said you will have time to work on it after slurry and silage. You are the first farmer I've heard say they will have free time. Anyway, I hope silage season is underway with safe and sunny days. Does anyone in the house help with editing your posts? How are your parents doing?. You haven't said anything about them lately so that means they are doing well, I hope.
