Massey 5455 | Breakers yard | New parts 

Glad you liked it 👌 I thought I better way had used new parts as its our only loader tractor and the second hand part may not have been far off breaking aswell 🤷‍♂️ Yes! I don't think I paid much for it which should have been a sign really 🤦‍♂️ not sure how they pass standards like that really 🤷‍♂️ I must say I enjoyed wondering round sheds of tractor parts! 😂 They're not that close to me a really, still a 45 minute drive to get there! They're based at Winkleigh, used to have a massey dealer in Barnstaple by the name of Bernard Hancock, but he packed it in afew years ago no! Thanks for the positive comments! 😊

@@seggonscontractors588 I didn’t know where the Winkleigh depot was until a couple of weeks ago but happened to run past there and spotted the sign. Bernard was a good guy. Absolutely genius on lister generators apparently and virtually lite up Exmoor years ago!!!. Remember him selling several different makes of tractors over the years including Lamborghini and universal’s

@kevinmanley2498 I drove straight past it the first time I went 🤦‍♂️ was good to have a look around, they've not finished fitting out the new showroom yet but it looks smart already 👌 It was the first place I worked at when I left school over the summer, learnt lots and was very keen being a young lad 😂 I think they covered most brands for a while back in the day, always something different in there!!

I think the oil was black as a result of the bearing housing having failed, I keep up to date as much as I can with servicing and greasing, it is an older machine any way so stuff is starting to show signs of age, and being the second owner I think the owner previous to us was quite hard on it 🙄 and also as I said in the video I think it's the biggest loader that tractor will take so its under alot of pressure all the time 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ machinery breaks no matter what you do with it 🤦‍♂️😂😂

Very good thank you 👍 your channel name pretty much sums up every day on the farm! 😂

@@seggonscontractors588 😂🤣😂 my channel name is my life to lol

Thank you 😊

You're a star 😊

Hopefully I just pumped too much grease in the splined end as the motor was new not that long ago 🤔 time will tell I guess!

I spat my tea out when they told me the price I must say, but as with anything if you want it quickly it's going to cost... and they did come over night 🤷‍♂️ but even so, still pricey!

Ahh now! I've seen the price for a new nose cone and it's eye watering, I may however have ago at rebuilding it one day maybe, funny thing is the that's the only one of the 2 that actually works 😂

I think I've got the pdf file somewhere 🤔 but If you have one for a John deere 2140 that would be helpful 😁😊

No just the masses as that's what we run at the moment.

It's a very reliable work horse. The only thing I would say is it's a bit light on the back end without a counterweight. If you have a counter weight it's an awesome loader tractor, visibility is great, good hydraulic power, nice gearbox and quite nimble. The only issues we've had are really due to the lack of maintenance from the previous owner. Other things such as the engine damper plate (which you'll hear when stopping the engine), and the switch for the rear linkage playing up are just common things I think. However if the previous owner has been shy of the grease gun like ours was you may need to check the front axle pivot, 4wd front coupler will get slack and the 4wd will bang when you let off the breaks or turn off 4wd, our loader was quite slack but again that's maintenance. Other than usual wear and tear, it's been (and still is) an awesome little loader tractor. It's the sort of tractor you come to in the morning without the fear of "what's going to go wrong today!" 😂 highly recommended for a stockman tractor and not shy of a day's work either!!

@@seggonscontractors588 cheers appreciate the reply

@@Iconicprice Glad to help 😊

Is it the same axle on a fiat then?

I did think it was some kind of industrial make, didn't seem right having been painted red! 😂

It's out of an impact set from Gear wrench! Can't fault it, I've given it a lot of abuse and it's still fine, 100% recommended

Perfect thanks

There was?

Yes I know! I did say about it in the video abit later on! Being my own machine, I'm not overly worried about it, I'll just have to keep intop that greasing 😊 like.i said in the video if it was a customers machine, I'd have taken it apart again and replaced the seal, just one of those things that slipped through the net while filming and doing the job itself 🤦‍♂️😂

And the oil in the hubs are Only filled to half ways ! Set hub at mid point and let the excess out or it'll blow the inner shaft seal where you pressed the drive's in when locating the circlip! 👍

@keithk1246 I read up the oil spec for the hubs on how much they need, and it said 0.9 litres or something like that so measured it in a jug 😊

Well... I'm afraid to say that I use my machinery 🤷‍♂️ can't always keep it looking like a show peice 😉

£25 quid each you mean!!! £25!! Plus vat and postage!!! 😂
