How To buy a Massey Ferguson 165 completely unseen.... Its a risk but sometimes it pays off - will it pay off this time ? Will It Turn Over ? Will It Start ? Will It Run ?
I have to say mucker, as a 15yr old lad looking for his first tractor these videos are not only very entertaining but I’ve probably learnt more from a couple of your videos than the past month of “school”.😂
@@LordMuck came searching for this comment, but pleased to inform you that I’ve made a recent purchase of a Fordson super dexta! It’s rough but no engine issues (just leeks) she runs sweet, just a few loose and very questionable ends😂
The Massey Ferguson 165 and 135 was the first two Massey’s I drove on my own . Earlier my dad had aMF 35 & 65 I rode on them but to young to drive them. We had many different Massey’s under 100hp. Today I have a 1990 MF 3070 92hp. My brothers have a 471, 451, 35. I also have a IMT 539 deluxe it the same as 35 MF with power steering.
We have a retired MF dealer in the area, that still maintains his business shop, but no longer sells new equipment, His devotion is to vintage models & he has knowledge & a collection of parts that might stock an Assembly Line. Went there once to check if he had a radiator hose that would fit my IH. He threw me out, if it isn't a MF issue, keep out !!
The last two tractors I drove for a job was a 1986 Fiat 160/90 then 1988 Massy Ferguson 3680 Datatronic. Very different tractors but both awesome pullers in their day.Fergy was on 16.9/36 front and 20.8/ 42 rears which I thought was a unique combo then,so either of these two would be nice to see👍.
My old one came with wide tyres but I managed to get 36 inch from a dealer in Orkney they were off a 300 series but helped with the ploughing great video 👍I still have a lot of parts so just need find another 165 again
Challenge for you JCB 4D... im young enough to have seen all the old machines in the flesh but this one has always alluded me. im still holding out for a barn find of my own, keep up the good work
Thank you for this series, have a 1970 MF165 inherited from my father. Clutch pedal is so worn that you can cut baling twine with the pedal. Same issue engine will not move or turn by hand gives me the confidence to try the same actions.
Podge, Put decent sized tyres on the 165, 18.4x28 and 7.50x16 on the front. That is how they were delivered here and with a proper roller drawbar they were expected to spend their lives pulling machinery that was too big for them. They were a bit under powered compared to their main competition the Chamberlain 9G but most managed to hang together somehow. My Ford 2000 has 14.9x24 on the back and 6.00x16 on the front and looks good shod like that. That is how it would have been optioned when new as well. Jeff.
My late father bought and sold these. I can recall a couple of these being bought and sold when I was a boy in county Donegal,Ireland. Great memories 👍🏼
Just completed my restoration of a MF165 Multi Power last year. Here's one for you My multipower would not work, why someone had removed the pump. Could tell loads of stories about that thing. So watching your video was very good as you never know what your buying in some older tractors. I would like to see you go over a Ford 4600 tractor. Really enjoy your videos like your no nonsense approach.
Fordson super major! Loving the videos, I just recently picked up a 1961 I believe.. Has front end loader and back hoe impressive machine but I don't know much about them
They're no better here in the states. I have even tried ordering my Dunkin Donuts muffins non smashed before and they still didn't get the hint. And they think they deserve $15 an hour. Asshats!
Great video again 👍 it’s like looking over your shoulder and learning with the added laughs. I would love to see you open up some engines that are seized and show what seized etc. And why.
I once bought a MF 135 Vineyard that was in a Briar patch for 20 years. The only thing on that tractor that wasn't stuck was the Little Perkins AD3.152 , loyal AF 😆
My 1969 Massey 165 runs perfectly its a Beast of a machine iv put some crazy loads on the back 3 point. My grandfather had both the 165 and 135 and never had a sized moter.
I'm glad to see customer service at McD's is the same world wide! Just stumbled onto the channel. Reminds me of what I'm like when I'm working on the old junk around here.
Would have to be a david brown 1412 hydrashift pls . Thanks muchley . Loved the fergie start shes a sweet runner . From what i heard . She fired up no probbs after u got the fuel up through her . Live well . Brother mucker . All the best to ya . Hae a great weekend .
Always liked that era of Massey's. It's missing the front weight bracket. Kind of gives it an overbite look. I'd be proud to own that one. Expected to see a Joe Pesci insert at the drive thru. Best regards from Indiana.
I’ll admit, I don’t know shit about tractors but like many of us, I was intrigued by the Belarus crawler. I did a little search and apparently Belarus 🇧🇾 rigs were sold in the U.K. Not sure how difficult it would be to find one, but I’d love to see a Belarus tractor ‘will it start’.
@@LordMuck apologies, my voice to text works about as good as the lady in the McDonald’s drive through- I’d like to see a Belarus tractor will it start, but let’s face the facts, I would watch you fix a goddamn washing machine and it would still be entertaining as fuck.
Best part of all is she didnt smoke a bit. Really healthy Perkins. You can tell that by the fact she had good enough compression to fire right back up with almost no revolutions.
Case International 1455xl :) one of the best sounding tractors from my youth! :) Cracking Video again and a sideline in McDs customers service training at the same time :)
Thanks for the video, that masseys not bad for it's age. what ever you pick it'll be worth watching. Man I don't remember Cambridge looking like that over 20 years ago. Last time I was up there I took the kid that worked for us, We pulled up 6.30 AM sale day and the kids absolutely amazed to see 3 Masseys the same on a truck going in. I told him you'll shyte your pants when you get in there and there's 200 more of them before you get to the other Massey models or the ford line, he'd never seen so many tractors in one place . That was another day were foreign aid money was being wasted, the auctioneer was standing between the brothers stopping them beating the crap out of each other during bidding wars. It's kinda concerning when the chopping hands off motions start with those boys they aint buggering about ! In normal times do they still have those good heart attack inducing breakfasts they were worth driving from wales for, without going to the sale.. Take care
Hi Muck At 2.29-2,35 when you are entering the Cambridge Machinery sales, you where driving around and old Ford Country, that one could be subject of a nice episode. It's a really unhandy monster way baaack from the 70's :) Best from Denmark
Nice little 165 there, remember spending a good few hours behind the wheel of one of those, no cab either. Anyway how about you have a look at Kimberly's heavy haulage truck. Could be the Kurt and Kimberly Truck Show.
Another great video 👍 John Deere 4040S , this was the first big 4wd tractor I drove as a young man. It seemed huge compared to the ford 4000 with a ripvator 3point forklift that we used to unload steal with.
These videos just get better and better! What i would like to see is maybe an old combine that's been stood up eg MF 525 or a NH 8070 that would be good if anyone has one lurking about that's not in use any longer. 👍
bloody brill .Always an adventure finding out what you ve got 👌 I would like to see a film on a County forward control something, but probably a bit obscure. keep at it ou kid, all the best Matt 👌
It has to be the granddaddy of all tractors, the Ferguson 20 diesel. As a proud owner of a 1954 one I’d love to see your thoughts, keep up the good work LM.👍
when i was about 11 my old man was a tractor driver relief cowman, he used to let me steer an old D B 25 going down a track to the milking parlour bloody hard work without power steering, aaahhhh happy days. Like to see you do a vid on one.
A video on a 40 series Ford or new Holland, best series Ford ever made. They have their quirks but at least the engines were bomb proof. Great to see the Massey running what kind of engine is in it. Really interesting video 👍
Nice find there, I missed out on a MF135 a few years back, it was in very good original condition, it was for sale at a farm only five miles from home. The guy wanted £500 ! I told him I would be back with the cash in a couple of hours, the bugger sold it before I got back. It had been on that farm for years , it was the best MF 135 in original condition I had ever seen. I was gutted and not a happy bunny. A few years before that I missed out on a Tripple D . Win some loose some. I did great on three non running JD's a few months later that I had for nothing and sold them on for a great profit. Your vid reminded me on the 135 I missed out on. My Ruston Bucyrus 10 RB is being delivered on Thursday. Will do a vid on that for my channel
4/65 Nuffield. May be a little vanilla in flavour to you, but less so elsewhere in the world. Big like for this video as the Massey was/is big time popular in our area. Finding price jump in similar era 40 - 60 hp tractors, especially with a loader. Not for collectors but for regular duties to ward off increasing the hours on more expensive newer machinery, of which service and parts are getting over the top. Not even going to mention cracked heads, rotting hydraulic hoses, etc etc just out of warranty even on Kubota's. Similar there?
The old fud weasel got more jam than bloody Hartley's even the wings (( mud gards)) on the old 165 look good from what I can see in your video's and it sounds not to bad at all I wish it had been a multi power as that was my lime spreding tractor when I was contacting in and around Somerset, another good video thank you mucker, Mick.
As a kid my grandfather had a CAT.D2.. did get to drive it over the years... but it was sold after he died... would love to see you get one and drive it..👍🏻👍🏻
I would rather crap in my hands and clap than miss an episode of videos. As for tractors two come mind. 8N Ford and Massey Ferguson Super 90. Can't wait for the next hilarious vid.
Great video hope we can see this might rebuild, going forward I would like to see review a new high horse power tractor like a Fendt 1050 or a MF 8740 you review very well so give it a go. 🙂
Brilliant video! When they were loading it with the teleporter I did wonder how it was going to go but bugger me it sprung in to life 🙂 something a bit different like a modified tractor for tractor pulling would be smart to get a look at either that or a head to head with a couple of iconic classics or vintage tractors
Excellent episode. I would suggest either the history of equal wheel tractors or the evolution of the sub 50 horse power massey ferguson compact series so 135/240 up to 1747 and those in between.
I don't know one tractor from another, I'm just here to see the dog🤣
I have to say mucker, as a 15yr old lad looking for his first tractor these videos are not only very entertaining but I’ve probably learnt more from a couple of your videos than the past month of “school”.😂
Let me know when you've bought one 👌🏼
@@LordMuck came searching for this comment, but pleased to inform you that I’ve made a recent purchase of a Fordson super dexta! It’s rough but no engine issues (just leeks) she runs sweet, just a few loose and very questionable ends😂
I had a 165 for about 30 years it was the best tractor I ever had
I lost my shit and fell on ice when you said ppl would rather shit in there hands and clap lol

Forty years ago I was sat on a 165 at 06:00am rain or shine, a true workhorse.
We had 2 MF with 203 Perkins in them a 65 mk2 and 165 brilliant engines .thanks for a brilliant channel
Bloody beauty. Couldn’t stop smiling. Can’t wait to see what you do with her. Have to say mind, those two fords at the start were f****n mint 👌🏻👍🏻
I've seen someone else say the same, I'd like to see a fiat 110 90
How bout 180?🙂
I'd love to see a series of you finding and reviewing high hour tractors still in constant use.
High hour heroes
I’d like to see a 3000 series Massey, I drove a 3125 for two years and I thought it was the best yoke going
Sounded spot on!! A real result. Any tractor related stuff is interesting Kurt, anything at all.
We have a retired MF dealer in the area, that still maintains his business shop, but no longer sells new equipment, His devotion is to vintage models & he has knowledge & a collection of parts that might stock an Assembly Line. Went there once to check if he had a radiator hose that would fit my IH. He threw me out, if it isn't a MF issue, keep out !!
Ford 7810 series 3. The coolest of old fords in my opinion and still an impressive tractor. Drove them when I was younger and I really want one now.
Nuffield......and a bit of the history of the name would be good. I see one once in a while here in Canada. Till next time Muckers !
The last two tractors I drove for a job was a 1986 Fiat 160/90 then 1988 Massy Ferguson 3680 Datatronic. Very different tractors but both awesome pullers in their day.Fergy was on 16.9/36 front and 20.8/ 42 rears which I thought was a unique combo then,so either of these two would be nice to see👍.
Can you make a video explaining why every bloody fastener in that Perkins is fine thread?
It's because they were invented by people who enjoyed stringing the job out so every bolt takes twice as long to undo 😂
Wes and muck commenting. Yup, days made. 😂. Yall are awesome.
My old one came with wide tyres but I managed to get 36 inch from a dealer in Orkney they were off a 300 series but helped with the ploughing great video 👍I still have a lot of parts so just need find another 165 again
would be good to have a first series jcb fast trak to look at
Definitely
Challenge for you JCB 4D... im young enough to have seen all the old machines in the flesh but this one has always alluded me. im still holding out for a barn find of my own, keep up the good work
I would love to see a Pop'in Johnny, Will it start. I know it is old school but I love those old machines.. Be Well..
Thank you for this series, have a 1970 MF165 inherited from my father. Clutch pedal is so worn that you can cut baling twine with the pedal. Same issue engine will not move or turn by hand gives me the confidence to try the same actions.
That's a very good tractor you got Lord muck you can make it new again
Podge, Put decent sized tyres on the 165, 18.4x28 and 7.50x16 on the front. That is how they were delivered here and with a proper roller drawbar they were expected to spend their lives pulling machinery that was too big for them.

When you said it was a Perkins, well, nuff said! Of course it will run. It could be at the bottom of a lake for a decade, it would still run!
If only that were the case with the 175...
your one lucky sod. Not only turns over but starts . Fantastic project begins 👍👍
It’s not a remote starter it’s a I’m a lone wolf 5000 trigger “vgg “ lol love the vids guys
My late father bought and sold these. I can recall a couple of these being bought and sold when I was a boy in county Donegal,Ireland. Great memories 👍🏼
Nuffield 10/60

I would like to see a whole series of a full restoration any old girl would do as long as she has a kiss of life!!
Great video, love to see the older stuff
McDonald's rant got me going🤣🤣🤣
They're no better here in the states. I have even tried ordering my Dunkin Donuts muffins non smashed before and they still didn't get the hint. And they think they deserve $15 an hour. Asshats!
Great video again 👍 it’s like looking over your shoulder and learning with the added laughs.
I would love to see you open up some engines that are seized and show what seized etc. And why.
Well we have a few vids being planned where we seize an engine on purpose (end of life) and tear them down to see what happens.👍
06:25 hahahahahaha
What a f*cking treat 👌🏼
I once bought a MF 135 Vineyard that was in a Briar patch for 20 years. The only thing on that tractor that wasn't stuck was the Little Perkins AD3.152 , loyal AF 😆
For a no runner that engine sounds pretty good. LOL 😂
That's exactly what we thought !
another Gem of the 60/70s and a perkins to still going all thumbs up.. mate cheers...
A restotation vidio of a ford 7700 or 7710 with a q cab
Not going to happen... 😅
😂
Nice Tractor - nice purchase especially as it's running. Result.
it would be nice if you could make a video of a Steyr if you have on in your near area :)
Yes I'd like that too 👍
@@LordMuck would be nice :) can i send you some Pictures of my 2 Steyrs on Instagram ?:)
Yes please do ! 👍
@@LordMuck ah nice thx :)
@@LordMuck i send them your way i hope they are not to much :)

lol @ churn of destiny 🤣😅🤣
Case/DB 1694
1976 international harvester 444 diesal
🇮🇪👍👍💕👋
I have the gas model 2444 International here in Indiana
There is only one tractor for me the iconic Ford 7000 used one in the 70s such lovely tractors to use.
just found this video,McDonald drive through rant is brilliant, watched it over and over, pissing myself 😂😂😂love it👍
I'm glad to see customer service at McD's is the same world wide! Just stumbled onto the channel. Reminds me of what I'm like when I'm working on the old junk around here.
That does look a little sweet tractor I'm sure you can work wonders on 8 what a beautiful photo massive Ferguson bring it on
Ok your trip to the coffee shop will make me watch every video all the way through 😂😂 that was hilarious and relatable.
Would have to be a david brown 1412 hydrashift pls . Thanks muchley . Loved the fergie start shes a sweet runner . From what i heard . She fired up no probbs after u got the fuel up through her . Live well . Brother mucker . All the best to ya . Hae a great weekend .
Your reaction at the drive through service same as mine, get another job if you dont like this one, great result with the tractor loved it !
Always liked that era of Massey's. It's missing the front weight bracket. Kind of gives it an overbite look. I'd be proud to own that one.

The wheeled Belarus tractors are still popular in Europe

Ah yes, well I'm sure that can be sorted easily enough, I know just the man...
Mackie D's brilliant, You were served by Jenney no Stars. Great Video
MF 2680, or JD 36/44/49 series Podge. Even an update on your rebuilt one, not seen it for ages. Thanks pal. 👍👍
Great video probably two of the greatest tractors ever the 165 and 8830
Best part of all is she didnt smoke a bit. Really healthy Perkins. You can tell that by the fact she had good enough compression to fire right back up with almost no revolutions.
If you’re going to give me a choice. Since I grew up working on them. A old bucyrus Erie dragline. Or the European equivalent.
Draglines are my weak spot. I'm fascinated by them but have never really had a decent go on one. 😉
Case International 1455xl :) one of the best sounding tractors from my youth! :)

Hi Muck
At 2.29-2,35 when you are entering the Cambridge Machinery sales, you where driving around and old Ford Country, that one could be subject of a nice episode.
It's a really unhandy monster way baaack from the 70's :)
Best from Denmark
Nice little 165 there, remember spending a good few hours behind the wheel of one of those, no cab either. Anyway how about you have a look at Kimberly's heavy haulage truck. Could be the Kurt and Kimberly Truck Show.
Another great video 👍 John Deere 4040S , this was the first big 4wd tractor I drove as a young man. It seemed huge compared to the ford 4000 with a ripvator 3point forklift that we used to unload steal with.

Leyland 154, brill little tractor
bloody brill .Always an adventure finding out what you ve got 👌 I would like to see a film on a County forward control something, but probably a bit obscure.
keep at it ou kid, all the best Matt 👌
It has to be the granddaddy of all tractors, the Ferguson 20 diesel. As a proud owner of a 1954 one I’d love to see your thoughts, keep up the good work LM.👍
well done with the massey 165. A solid little machine. Thanks for bril videos.
The fact that you said Mr. Cosby and aren’t even close to being in the US made me almost spit out my drink😆😆. Hats off sir from here in Tennessee 👍
Absolutely brilliant my lord. Your dialogue always brings a laugh. Thank you again.
Glad you enjoyed it Otto 👍
when i was about 11 my old man was a tractor driver relief cowman, he used to let me steer an old D B 25 going down a track to the milking parlour bloody hard work without power steering, aaahhhh happy days. Like to see you do a vid on one.
I would like a "why I hate (Perkins)", don't know much about tractors but listening to someone who knows is always time well spent.
I don't - it's an ongoing joke between me and the Fudweasel.
A video on a 40 series Ford or new Holland, best series Ford ever made. They have their quirks but at least the engines were bomb proof. Great to see the Massey running what kind of engine is in it. Really interesting video 👍
Nice find there, I missed out on a MF135 a few years back, it was in very good original condition, it was for sale at a farm only five miles from home. The guy wanted £500 ! I told him I would be back with the cash in a couple of hours, the bugger sold it before I got back. It had been on that farm for years , it was the best MF 135 in original condition I had ever seen. I was gutted and not a happy bunny. A few years before that I missed out on a Tripple D . Win some loose some. I did great on three non running JD's a few months later that I had for nothing and sold them on for a great profit. Your vid reminded me on the 135 I missed out on. My Ruston Bucyrus 10 RB is being delivered on Thursday. Will do a vid on that for my channel
Great vid thanks! Would love a drive/look at a MB Trac!
That's lucky engine even starts , nice tractor good restoring project now 🚜👍
4/65 Nuffield. May be a little vanilla in flavour to you, but less so elsewhere in the world.
Big like for this video as the Massey was/is big time popular in our area.
Finding price jump in similar era 40 - 60 hp tractors, especially with a loader.
Not for collectors but for regular duties to ward off increasing the hours on more expensive newer machinery, of which service and parts are getting over the top.
Not even going to mention cracked heads, rotting hydraulic hoses, etc etc just out of warranty even on Kubota's. Similar there?
These are my favourite, second hand stories of it being no good but turns out to be mint 👍
The old fud weasel got more jam than bloody Hartley's even the wings (( mud gards)) on the old 165 look good from what I can see in your video's and it sounds not to bad at all I wish it had been a multi power as that was my lime spreding tractor when I was contacting in and around Somerset, another good video thank you mucker, Mick.
Ford 6610 would be my choice. Loved the vid Kurt take care sir..
Cheers Kev 👍
@@LordMuck Your welcome
I would honestly like any features on tractors as I'm sure it will be entertaining👌, but if I was to choose any Leyland would suit me👍
Yes, I don't know much about Leyland but see the odd one around!
As a kid my grandfather had a CAT.D2.. did get to drive it over the years... but it was sold after he died... would love to see you get one and drive it..👍🏻👍🏻
I would rather crap in my hands and clap than miss an episode of videos. As for tractors two come mind. 8N Ford and Massey Ferguson Super 90. Can't wait for the next hilarious vid.
The last Massey I drove a couple of years ago, moved it by road for the old fella that owned it was an 1100 , bit of an old beast 👍🏻😎
I’d really like to see you do a video on the tractor range that is behind you on the wall - MF 2720 or even better, a 2725 💪🏻
I think that will be an episode that happens regardless...
Would love a video on the mf 2000 series tractors.
Great video hope we can see this might rebuild, going forward I would like to see review a new high horse power tractor like a Fendt 1050 or a MF 8740 you review very well so give it a go. 🙂
That was a cute little tractor. Wonderful video you out out
Sweet little motor no smoke & rattles nice runner
I would love to see a case 5150 please
Brilliant video! When they were loading it with the teleporter I did wonder how it was going to go but bugger me it sprung in to life 🙂 something a bit different like a modified tractor for tractor pulling would be smart to get a look at either that or a head to head with a couple of iconic classics or vintage tractors
it will be the Nuffield/BMC mini 4/25 or late Leyland 145. i love that tractor.
Love to see john deere 50 series may be 1950. Great video as always
Excellent episode. I would suggest either the history of equal wheel tractors or the evolution of the sub 50 horse power massey ferguson compact series so 135/240 up to 1747 and those in between.
David Brown 1212 they were a good tractor in there day
Liked this episode you had some good one liners had me laughing
