WILL IT DRIVE ? - Massey 1080 

Can’t fault the old girl, clearly wants to live again. Can’t wait to see it at work in some form

Sounds sweet....

Local wore out the 318 and replaced with a 203...did another 10 years with front mounted forklift!

you still restoring the 165?

It’s going to be a great workhorse when it’s finished 👍🏻 looked like it drove well

Great video, the fud weasel in all his glory!!

I like the old Fudweasel he knows a good tractor when he buys one... That 1080 is as sweet as a nut and with a bit of cosmetic fettling will make a brilliant tractor... Good vid mr muck 👍

this is my first time on yor channel, i farm we farm mentioned you on his show , your videos are great😀😀😀😀

Wow what a beast. Thanks for this brilliant video 😁

Nice to see it running, but not so sure of your choice of friends. You know I can't stand that guy, always criticising but never has any solutions.

Long Live Massey Ferguson, they've always been a major part of my life! That 1080 is definitely worth the time to bring back to its former glory, it has great bones! You can't beat a Perkins for fuel economy and reliability, I love your videos and the humour that goes with it! Cheers from Ontario Canada!!

Good work and you’re sense of humour makes a great video thank you 😂

When I saw the title I thought it was a 165 / 135. What I grew up with. But its there great big brother !!!

1080 massey ferguson are a great tractor

The last time i watched this my old dad was with me and he laughed his heart out. We lost him in September but he loved your films, especially the tractor stuff.

Can't beat an old Massey

Lovely jubbly mucker don't worry about that nut you lost the mower will find that, and the other nut will turn up again he always does 😁🤡🐔

sorry i need to be safety sally ,that tie rod should have been bale twine tied, safety first kurt 😆😆😆😆😆😆 thats pretty impressive for how long its stood, not much smoke out of her either, may look rough but it makes you think they looked after her mechanically at least

The Massy rides again, great video Mucker. The pipe grips are a great all round tool .👍🚜🔧

Great video Mucker! I did think when you put it into high gear if the barrel of diesel was safely attached to the step? Fenland Rob

Nice Mucka, actually leaving cable ties uncut is better than a nice sharp end that gets ye! Hope the old Fud Weasel is on the mend....

A Sheep dog on a Massey Ferguson, it's the perfect picture

Now that's fuel efficient!! 😅 MFs never disappoint! 🚜 Good job! 👌

Great video 👌 tbh when it started i thought it sounded more like a 175/185 than a 595 i was lucky or unlucky to drive for a few years 🤔😁 noticed the MP was nice an brisk as well 💪 have to say its a stunning looking tractor without a cab on it 👌

Another awesome video love the old Masseys, looking forward to seeing the next one keep up the great work =)

Perkins power, gotta love an old Perky

That tractor sounds amazing, shocking to think how good it runs and drives considering how it looked. I think it’s still a good tractor someone could use on the farm😊

man near me had one in the 70s .........was fast on the road .........way faster than any other tractor out there at the time .......he wore it out cutting silage for hire with a claas precision chop .........the season was from mid may till october .....and it would want to be raining hard before he would stop .........had a 178 4wd on the pit with a quicke loader and a 188 drawing in .......and a ford 4600 mowing with a 6.6 ft disc mower ...............that was a good outfit back then ...!

Could have used grey cable ties the black ones ruin the whole look of the tractor most disappointing me lord 😝

Nice vidja. 1080 looks well. My friend has recently purchased an 1155.

I worked on a farm in Southern Ontario during the mid 70s. There was a large selection of tractors including a 1085. The 1080, I found to be my favourite tractor to drive all day. No cabs, heat housing in very cold weather. This was before no till, lots of ploughing and tilling. Corn or Maize was harvested until after Christmas.

Still tons of 1080's still running over here the U.S. even though were not super popular brand....were cheaper to buy for big tractor horsepower than Internationals or Deere's back in that day.

Cable ties?? Seriously, could you not find any bale string? 🤣

Good video again can’t beat a Massey Ferguson 👍

Another great video Mucker nice content as Usual 🚜👍

That was dam impressive, I'd like to see a modern tractor do that when it's the age of the old 1080😂........not a cat in hell's chance!

When you said cable ties I thought you were putting them between the nut and stud to make up the stripped threads, never tried that but just may be???, Regards my Lord from Sheffield.

1080 sounds like the 285 I spent a lot of time on. Y'all save that old girl!

Great video. Nice to see the 1080 starting & driving. Great tractor. Enjoyed watching.

What a cracking example of a handsome and not so common tractor! I want it.

The dogs tongue sticking out is what pit this vid over the top, please give that pupper a hug and some belly rubs for me!!

1080 sounds bloody nice! great vid!

Great video as always fantastic to see the old girl going in the right direction 👍

that tractor aside from being the best ever made deserves a full restore for its fuel usage .

Good video lol 👍

Across the pond, our name/pronoun/politically correct term for the trusty screwdriver is the 'carjacker 9000'

Old FORDS and Massey Fergusons are the mutt's nuts, especially the rare ones. Keep up the good work mucker and bollocks to the whingers. Matt.

NOT A MASSEY FAN BUT IT RUNS WELL FOR BEING STOOD ALL THAT TIME

Great move when MF went to Perkins engines.

It starts and moves runs on fresh air. 👍

Those cable ties have still gotta be good for up to about 37mph on the A6 though, right...? 😉

Great video LM jaysus it’s a big lump of a tractor for a 4 cylinder

it is nice to see the fudweasel tel it s him by the voice

Should of use a bit of baler twine 😂

Those old masseys never give up.

Your friend seems to have the same smart watch as fudweasel 😁 great video as ever mucker

I had no doubt you would get it going. I did get a laugh out of you not even knowing you lost your temp diesel tank😅

Is that wet or dry brakes and to be honest I'm surprised it fired up so easily must be the best starting Massey ever

Nice tractor! The value just went up because of Lord Muck!

You are doing a great job on this tractor looking forward to seeing more on the above and the Maltese matador my partner loves the matador love from alison ❤ 😀

Another mucker cracker ...great old tractor 😂

What is wrong w/ Clarence🇬🇧🍺❓

Nice one, as always. 👍

That's a massy for u!!!!!

Nice one Kurt enjoyed that, thank you. 🙂👍

Lord Muck, short haircut for the summer ❓

Great video - a great tractor!

That lost nut will add iron to the field - keep the turf green.

Lovely'Does it have Multi Power ? Does it work ?

Great video and great contents and we meet the man ? 😮

Well at least the front didn't fall off.... Cracking job M'lod, sounds a treat that 1080. Your friend passing by shure sounds familiar🤔😅 Keep em coming! Cheers, Mike

Don't need to worry about track rod fix, 1cable tie temporary but 2 tie's permanent fix.👍maybe the fud weasel has become allergic to orange 🤔 looks ok without them overalls😂 . You've stuck that image in my head again at 11.20🙈😂😂looked forward to this one and it wasn't a let down. 👌👍

I liked that video, to be fair I’m not a great Massey fan , but others are , we are all different, which is great , but I really like this tractor for some reason ???? Good to see it fire 🔥 up & trundle off , when it’s completed you can see it’s going to look dead smart 👍👍👍👍😊😊😊Any tractor than a collie dog happens to endorse must be good too 🤣, thanks for taking time to make the video for us all to watch 😃😃

The similarities and differences that 1080 has compared to my 1100 is interesting. I wish Massey Ferguson put a heavier front axle design under the 1155 being a bit heavier in the front without accounting for the larger weight bracket. Already my cousin repaired the back pin area.

Mighty stuff Kurt, Clarence and Puppo, cable ties fair replaced baling twin and building wire, Idiocracy, fantastico👌👍🙏😎

Thanks for the video thats not a bad tractor compared to some of the scrap Fud Weasel's acquired. Looks like you got most of that power steering oil on the floor instead of all of it in L.O.L Masseys and failing tie rod ends is about the same as Dodges with flying ball joints. We had 595 back in the day yep dropped a tie rod end right in the middle of a welsh lane that was 5" wider than the tractor, nowhere to pass and a mile from the farm lane so that was handy blocking tourist traffic for a while. That 595 was far from fuel efficient we ran an Opico 580 drier on ours for a week, by the second load a day you'd think it had a drinking problem. Dad got fed up filling it, and said lets put a Power Major on I'd rebuilt. In comparison that was like trying to get a Scotsman to buy you a drink with what it used a day. It ran it real good and was only just above tick over with the 750 PTO compared to nuts on the floor with the 540 PTO on the 595. Take care

Nice hat, cheers form canada!

I’m laughing my butt off. Thanks for that. Hope fudweasel recovers from his “accident “😂

Getting all fancy with yer cable ties🤠, meanwhile us mere mortals are stuck with the old fashioned baler twine, silage tape and lump hammer🤡 Runs grand the 1080👌 Best wishes to the old Fud too🤙

Excellent video Lord Muck :) also Massey Ferguson 1080 live on, hopefully key ignition switch be fix to and other repairs too soon!

Top job Kurt - I'm sure @ClarenceFud-Weasel was lurking nearby 😹 Anyone know what make the rear NS tyre is? Can't say I've seen that tread before.

Sounds like a pretty good running Perkins. The 1080 looks a bunch better without the cab. I had to laugh at your dog, does it always stick out it’s tongue a little bit? Thanks for the Videos, Lord Muck.

Ok. Its getting there. I quite like the cable tie ball joint retaining ummm clamps. Not sure about the drop tank though. But the ignition key ....bang on.

Good evening melod, great to see the ole girl going well. Speaking of which, how's Lady Muck doing? 😂

Obviously not a true farmer, they would have fixed the tie rod end with baler wire and the engine stop with baler twine and left it like that as a permanent fix.

Most of my kit is held together with cable ties....I don't see the problem 🤣nice one👍👍

Good to see the old fudweasel putting in an appearance, hope he is feeling better i think he should change his name too Barney Rubble.This will be a nice tractor when finished.

Never underestimate the power of two cable ties Really enjoyed that keep the videos coming

Thanks Kurt loved the vid... Take care sir...

What is hilarious is when you started it as soon as it fired up a load of blue smoke drifted past my window! I kid you not! Brilliant.

Memories of a happy childhood and simpler times…..looking forward to the next posts.

Obviously a fully qualified cable tie mechanic.

For its age that was a big tractor in its day - makes the 135 look small - the gear shift looks like a pre curser to the bigger arable tractors from the 80,s

that is a definition of tractor, complete with cable ties , absolute gem Lord Muck🤠

Nicely done , cable ties can get you out of trouble , very useful , and now you can steer it . Excellent video .

I’d say then 1080s were a big tractor when they came out back in the day keep up the good videos and content 👌

Another great video mucker. Love the “will it starts” series of videos.

Cable ties, duct tape, or just good old bale wire. That's how we roll.

Fab! Lovely to see Clarence on 2 feet. Hope to see him on the spanners shortly.

It’s going the right way old stick! It’ll be a bonny thing when done.
