We have a small collection of restored 60's and 70's MF tractors, some with rebuilt engines, some without, all of them start on half a crank every time, no matter what, I find that amazing how a 50 year old diesel will start in -12°C on half a crank without the blockheater
A old man not far from me runs a little lumber mill he still uses a 1975 massey 31 industrial that has a factory push blade and log grapple the perkins has god knows how many hours and runs perfect doesnt even burn oil or roll coal and starts without any help in winter
i love my massey 135 diesel. it was -15 here earlier this week, and snow drifts up to our waist and shoulders in parts were blocking our long driveway. the massey fired up with just a bit of cranking, no need for a block heater even. and plenty strong enough to run the snowblower attachment. in spring and autumn it's a vital part of our gardening and livelihood. i'm considering adding another, or a 35 as a backup. love their simplicity.
@@dkdanis1340 lol, it absolutely will not last 5 times longer. new machines are built full of plastic in critical areas with repairability not considered at all in the original design. new machines will be in the scrap pile in 20 years, these masseys will still be useful tools.
we have a 7300 cub cadet i think its like 20-24 years old. starts pretty damn good in the cold. and actually i have a video of it starting. i just posted it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JafkTYSBqOY.html you dont have to watch it.
Our 135 Massey with three cylinder Perkins diesel engine never started that easily in winter. We had to build a small fire under the sump to heat the engine block and engine oil before we could start it in winter and that is anything between 0 degrees and 10 degrees Celsius. This video was amazing.
I still have the generator on my old 135. I've thought about converting it as its a pita but can't bring myself to do it. Same with the old canister oil filter. Spin on would be much easier.

The number of morning , I wish I could forget, doing just that.. milk to road end , feed out to cattle.. then muck spreading.. massey 35 then 135 and a 165
I am a diesel mechanic from the military and I can tell you that starting a diesel engine in the cold is like driving 1000 miles and putting a thousand miles on the engine it's that hard on them
Yes sir I light small cast iron pots with coal and put under our 1959 and 1963 Peterbilt s to keep that oil thin blocks warm ect. We have a 8v92 that sucker starts every time with a little bump on the start take care
colman long. YES, definitely ! My dad has such a Massey Ferguson 135 and it is very reliable and durable ! You almost have to blow it up with dynamite to destroy them :) I love to drive it :) They pull well in relation to the number og horsepower, and they use very little fuel and run cheap ! Perhaps the most durable tractors Massey Ferguson has ever built :) The MF 265 is also very durable :)
Please don’t rev your tractors right after starting them, especially when it’s cold, when the oil is cold it moves too slowly so you need to give the engine time to warm up fully
PS: most of the life of engines are spent during cold starts (no lubrication, lots of leaks, more brittle seals, tigther tolerances due to contraction etc.)
