The smile on your face when you drove it out for the reveal, you couldn't knock it off your face with a sledge hammer!!! You take real pride in your work and it shows. Awesome job, awesome videos and an awesome channel. Keep the projects coming!
Your channel has inspired me to branch out from my normal old car and truck searching and I've ended up buying a John Deere 4020 with a 4520 engine stuffed into it and a 966 international that had an m&w turbo kit installed years ago. Both tractors sat since about 2010 or so, so it's taken some doing but I got them running and hauled 60 miles home and I'm just working the kinks out now! My wife now holds my ten month old a safe distance away to protect her hearing but when I throttle those tractors up and let the turbos sing that little girl just smiles and giggles to no end!!
Some people accuse us Deere guys of sticking our noses up at all enthusiasts of other brands. But, not true. I watch every one of your videos. I love your enthusiasm for the Masseys the the attention to detail you give them. Great video. The tractor is looking fantastic!
In 1976 when I was nine years old, the Massey-Ferguson 1135 & 1155 were the largest offering from Massey-Ferguson in Sweden. A lot have happened since… Nice job, and it brings a lot of memories!
Hello from the sunrise side of the thumb! I’ve been following your channel for about a year now, and while I enjoy all your projects, I think this one is my favorite. The ol’ girl came out cherry. To go from the sad, depressed state it was in to all dressed up is great to see. I actually kind of like the patina on the trim pieces as they are. It retains some of the history of the machine and gives it just that much more character. I can’t wait to see her ripping the ground up with a disc like she was born to do.
Well young man, you did a great job on a tractor facing certain doom in a scrapyard so very well done in saving some agricultural history and another Massey Ferguson icon. Here in the UK, I went to a tractor show a while back and there was Massey 135 that was over-restored. BY that I mean so beautifully restored it was "Concours d'Elegance" class of workmanship. I could perfect reflections in the paint, percision formed clutch hydraulic and fuel lines. It was a thing of beauty and not a thing of purpose from a factory making agricultural machines. Even the wheel nuts were zinc plated and beautiful. What you have achieved is a working and practical restoration that you can enjoy using. Top marks!
All I gotta say is WOW!! JT you always seem to outdo yourself. It’s awesome watching you take so much pride it your tasks. That’s one sweet 1150. Great job!🤜🤛
JT I couldn’t believe my eyes last week when I found a Massey 1150 with duals and cab on an auction site down here in Tennessee. They say it has some shifting issues but I couldn’t believe it. Your old girl turned out great! I am going to watch and see what the auction price is going to be. I will send you pics if I can find a way. Thanks JT 👍
Wow! She looks amazing! Fantastic job JT! There is something about those tractors, they have a style, a presence, which was totally unique. It will never be repeated. Those days are alt long gone. Congratulations on rescuing your dream tractor. You deserve it!
I'm a Farmall / IH guy but what you did with that MH tractor that was left for junk...A-MAZ-ING. That tractor would look good at a tractor show as well in the field. Loved watching the transformation on this one. Can't wait to see it working in the field.
Did you notice the 1150 plate on the left side has a hinge to give access to the air filter. Your tractor looks almost as good as mine 😂👍🇨🇦. Fantastic job.
I have always thought that Massey Furgusons were gorgeous tractors, just didn't see many here in NE Arkansas. My grandfather only ran Massey Combines. I learned how to operate a tractor on a 49 Massey Harris and still own it. My great grandfather bought it brand new in 49.
A great video of a great classic tractor which in my opinion is the G O A T for looks and sound, you are one lucky S O B, I’d give my wife’s right arm for one.
long time listener, first time caller. That thing sure is sharp! And that goes for everything else you’ve restored or painted. After watching you paint tractors for a couple years now i think i’m gonna go ahead and restore my 460 diesel when k get back from basic. Have a cold one for me JT!
Our church has a massive 255 that we've been using to mow lawns with a 12-ft woods mower and that thing is absolutely awesome motor has been rebuilt that's been totally restored in I absolutely love Massey's
That truly looks ‘the mutts nuts’ JT, another great MF tractor resurrected and refurbished ready for work and play. If you would like to see, and hear the 1150 at work, I’d be more than happy to fly over the pond and run it for you buddy. This channel just gets better and better.
Getting into intricate/precise cleaning such as the badges, invest in a dremel kit. Fairly cheap and allows for precise work, plus you will find many more uses for it. Great job on bringing that Massey icon back to shine. I'd take her to the prom......👍👍
JT, you should be proud of the turn around you’ve done to the 1150. To think it was sitting in a scrap yard a few weeks ago to what it is now. Great asset for you. You should try and see if you can pick up some front weights to add to this beauty. Well done. 👍
Great job JT. You pitched it just right, looks like a smart well looked after working machine not a show queen. I think that motor would now benefit from some good hard drawbar work, clean it out just fine😂.
JT an overhead crane or even just a large engine hoist would be great for your new shed! Idk if you already have one but for the likes of carrying out those cast mudguards it would be ideal. 1150 looks class not many of them here anymore in Ireland
@jtsbarnngrill6873 I grew up with MF tractors of the age you are working on. Wish I had your talent and could restore them like you do. Please keep it up and I am hoping you find yourself a 1085 as well.
Tractor looks great i painted my 175 emblems when I painted my tractor with black and white testers model paint they looked about like yours they turned out great that was a great tractor,yours is super nice good luck on your bean crop.
Looks nice JT. I always thought the newer Massey looks nice like yours. Never ran one. Case, Deere, IH, and once a MM. Didn't care fore the mighty mo. My cousin and I would argue over that. Even through he went Greern.God rest his soul.
Jt you need to get a rops and a canapy and a air cleaner stack. And let the muffler on and you are ready to go on a tractor ride, she looks so freaking good. You know that all of the things that you are looking for are still at the farm that she came from
Wow now that’s a very sexy tractor mate 👌amazing job dr jt💪and the sound of the engine ❤ it went from the scrap yard to the right person cheers from down under 🇦🇺
OMG!!! You should be so proud of yourself. Looks awesome. For guys like me who grew up on a farm but now are stuck in suburbia with a family, getting to work on this tractor would be heaven.
Congrats JT! When you added those duals it turned that unit from a garden tractor into a beast! It honestly looks like more tractor than one man can handle!🎆🎆🎆
