What a gripping episode 👏 😳 😆. The massey ferguson 135... helped make farms all over the world. Great wee tractor to have about. My one just cuts wood and runs a digger not in a great state either came out a chicken shed operation 😑 but it still soldiers on. One day it might get a tidy up. Stay safe Richard 🏴
I notice the tyre fitter didn't mention the good old piece of angle iron when you asked about bead breaking, don't think they are allowed to use it nowadays, but it's still the tool of choice for those of us that fit our own tyres
Check the Pressures in the new tyres, most likely been pumped up to about 40psi for fitting and transport. I would have thought about 12psi is plenty for yard work and you'll find thy will grip better and last longer. Crac On 👍
Found this video oddly satisfying! I think I would have found it hard to resist putting a few coats of wheel silver on the new ones. But there is no point as the muck will just eat it away in your yard. 👍
Proper job!!! The new tyres have come up a treat.good idea about selling the old ones .someone with a sandblasting kit could clean them up and little bit of welding and repaint ,will work well on a classic tractor somewhere crack on mr c
Stick those wheels on gumtree Don’t listen to anyone saying they’re worthless I sold a set worse than that for £80 to a guy for his boat launching tractor…
How things have changed since I was a tyre fitter for almost 25 years starting with car tyres and making my way up with wagon and eventually the giant earthmover, there was no air fed jacks or bead breakers as this had to be done with a lump hammer and a tyre chisel
That always happens to me you buy something, it’s not quite right, and then something better turns up, then it’s do I keep both items or send one back ?. 👍
Un expected surprise but i guess given the environment they ate in it was only time before they gave up, prob is you will now need to do the rest of the tractor , she pretty tidy overall for a scraper rig anyway be a nice project for you and the boys
Great video🙂 I think you got your money's worth out of those tyres and rims Richard. I wonder if the new ones will last as long. Stay safe everyone and Crack On.
Theres someone here in south devon who buys old tractors and sells secondhand parts from them ........ i enquired a few years ago about a couple of secondhand 11/28 wheels and he quoted me £30 each just for the wheel centres....... your wheel centres are good its just the rims that are knackered so the wheels should be worth a few pounds
i bought some old telegraph poles cut a quarter out of them and then bolted them to each corner of our buildings and walls... make them 12 foot tall then you wont miss them...
Now it's probably not really necessary for you but alot of people round here use small old tractor like that to launch boats into the water and often galvanize rims so they don't rust.
Good idea to buy the whole package. if you had just bought the rims the nuts and bolts that hold the rims to the wheel centres would have been a bugger to get off cos of the rust. bet the new wheels and tyres ended up costing as much as the whole tractor cost when it was brand new all back in the 60s. hayho..... what they say is a tractor is only as good as the tyres its on
@@attempting2ride525 Couldn't agree more with you, had a few tyres, some with less tread than those, put them on ebay and a bloke travelled 100 miles to collect them, he wanted them to put on tractors that he was exporting
