I have a Massey 165 that’s been sitting and forgotten for 10+ years and it started and ran like it had been used yesterday 😮 those Perkins diesels are incredible
@@GravelAndGritGarage it was average weather when I started it. Sunny with a cold wind. About 15*C. I didn’t expect it to start that quickly but there was still some diesel in the injector pump and fuel lines.
@@GravelAndGritGarage it is, powered so many things,the first ones I remember was in a Massy Ferguson 500 Combine. Then over the next 50 years they popped up in all sorts of vehicles and plant.👍💪
Just put some fresh oil and check the rest of the fluids out then fill it up with a tank a good diesel head to the field, I'm sure the old girl would like to get out and do some work!! Good video
We are also look forward to working it. Have a small issue with the clutch discs that we will be addressing in an upcoming video. Thank you for the comment!!
It's nice to see the old girl get a second chance, I'd bet if that had a strong battery on she'd of fired right up without the booster. I had an 1135 apart for a transmission rebuild, life changed and she sat 7 years while I worked for another guy. When I got back to it I'd got the cab back and thought I'd better shove a battery on it and just try the key to check wiring. That old girl fired right up 3rd turn on the fuel that was in the filters, there was no fuel in the tank yet. It was nice to see your comment about not really needing either and using a small amount . I can't stand watching guys do these video's where the batterys shot all the cable ends are near corroded right off they don't even try cleaning or replacing them. They don't even try bleeding fuel, it hardly cranks as the terminals glow red hot with resistance. Then they think drugging the poor thing on a whole can of head stud stretcher, will help L.O.L. This year I turned 48 and been doing this kinda stuff since I was 13, so I've done quite a few tractors and backhoe loaders over the years for my collection customer machines and for sale. The best one was a fordson E27N with a Perk P6 that sat over 40 years in a yard with it's sister tractor. It was stuck, I got it freed, cleaned the filters as new ones are hard to find in Canada. I changed the oil there was 40 year old fuel in it that was still good unlike this 6 month if you're lucky garbage now. I used a good battery and she fired right up with no ether. The other one wasn't so easy but I got that running after 3 days messing with it, they started out together and they'll stay as a pair even if I decide to sell them later in life. they are a cool story of somebody farming with them I haven't even washed them it will spoil that unique finish they've acquired since 1950 . Take care
We had a 1100 massey ferguson back in the day using 8row equipment they are one tough tractor the perkins is one of the best disel engines built maybe the implement companys9of today could learn a few things from the people that built the engine glad to see u brought the old girl back truly well built
Here in the USA Detroit Diesel pretty much built our country from the end of WW2 all the way through until they were sold to the Germans. Detroit Diesel exists in name only today. Massey was an amazing company as well.
Awesome machine especially with a cab. I have an 1150 MF that I inherited from my late dad of July 22 my massey also needs to be restored however there an animal and I think that masseys where also always the finest ag tractors on the market they are a very underrated brand of farm equipment in my prerogative of farm reliability anyway your 1100 sounds great and very powerful hope you have great luck with your massey ferguson I love my massey fergusons. I also have others of that same ara keep em rolling .
The neighbors had silage cut one year by a contractor who had a fleet of Masseys including a 1080 driving the harvester. Biggest tractor I’d seen. I was a kid then in Ireland. I guess this has to be a similar same machine different market.
1080 Massey Ferguson had a 4 cylinder Perkins diesel. Rated at 80 PTO horsepower. The 1100 we have in this video has a 6 cylinder Perkins diesel rated at 94 PTO horsepower. This tractor has an aftermarket turbo that bumps the horsepower up to around 120. Thank you for the comment.
@@GravelAndGritGarage thanks for clearing that up I always wondered about it. They’re both a far cry from the 4 cyl tvo ferguson I learned to drive on. Nice video thanks 👍👍
El más grande de ese mismo modelo es el Massey Ferguson face 2 ,1098 acá en Argentina ,ahora el 1100 importado supongo que debe tener más de 100 HP caballos de potencia en polea
Thank you. The other tractor is a 1950 TO20 Ferguson. Steel wheels were installed, unfortunately the tractor isn’t powerful enough to fully utilize the extra traction. We will be working on that in the future.
It's sad to see equipment set that has no real issues. Most equipment is tired when parked. I know of a JD with less than 2000 original hours 1977 model sat outside it's whole life.
Dear Tractor companies why don’t most of you find an old lorry Frame or even rebuild a brand New Lorry Frame for building stronger and better Tractors and put those Volvo B10M, Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel engines for those stronger better Tractors so they can still use them for any farms and even lift a broken down Bigger Buses and even broken down Lorries, why don’t you build 5 and 6 seats so that other passengers can sit at the back and front including the driver. You can still build those four stronger medium sizes wheels and still make them even more farm tractor like than it still was before, please can you do those interesting idea’s for us tractor Lovers.
My saying is, if the block's not cracked and it's not seized, it'll start. Of course with MFs, it'll start white the block's cracked and it's seized and it's on fire and it's been sitting in a volcano for 2 billion years. Also why would you (whoever turbo'd it) put all the time and effort into turboing it when you could just buy an 1130?
I thought the factory Dot 4 6354s had a nitrided crankshaft in em. That is one problem with these motors they get hairline cracks in their cranks. We were rebuilding one , non turbo, and went to get the crank ground and the first thing they did was look for cracks. We had to find another crankshaft.
By look of what appears to be another MF tractor with front end loader on, hasnt too been started for 6 years either, what a state to leave them both, who ever the owner was.
I thought this tractor sounded good for not running that long. My advice is run most of the fuel out. Then put Marvel Mystery oil in it with fresh diesel and that should do it. If not put new fuel filters on it again.

Just started it yesterday. Cranked but wouldn’t fire. Needed a little either and fired up. It was 20 degrees air temp.
@@GravelAndGritGarage it was average weather when I started it. Sunny with a cold wind. About 15*C. I didn’t expect it to start that quickly but there was still some diesel in the injector pump and fuel lines.
354 Perkins. It will be fine never a doubt. One of the best engines ever made.
It is a strong engine.

It’s a good runner, just needs some tlc.
Such a cool old tractor. Hope to see more of this
Thank you.
You guys are fricking awesome!
Thank you
Beast of a Tractor!
Yes it is
Does NOT sound rough to me. Loping idle is just cold behaviour. No problem.
Good job gentlemen starting that tractor.
Thank you!!
I'm looking forward to seeing this thing actually work.
We are as well. Have a little more work to do before that. We will be putting up videos when we get going on that other stuff.
Hi im from good old New Zealand and i had a dear old friend that use to tell me that Massey Fergusons built this country.
Cool tractors. Pull hard and run strong.
Here in the USA Detroit Diesel pretty much built our country from the end of WW2 all the way through until they were sold to the Germans. Detroit Diesel exists in name only today.
Massey was an amazing company as well.
I'm also from nz and it was Ferguson's that built this country... before Massey was part of it.. the little grey fergies
No surprise ,these old Perkins 6354t engines are pretty tough and simple if the,ve got fuel they will start
Yes they will. Thing is a beast.
Awesome machine especially with a cab. I have an 1150 MF that I inherited from my late dad of July 22 my massey also needs to be restored however there an animal and I think that masseys where also always the finest ag tractors on the market they are a very underrated brand of farm equipment in my prerogative of farm reliability anyway your 1100 sounds great and very powerful hope you have great luck with your massey ferguson I love my massey fergusons.

Thank you for the comment. We enjoy this tractor. It will be in some more videos over the summer. Plenty more to do to it.
Massey ferguson imt tafe.all from ferguson.i just love them.they are functioning after60 years
Yeah!!
Cool looking tractor
Thank you!
One thing I've learned with a 354 Perkins if it's got fuel and a good battery and battery cables are ok it will start.
This one does for sure.
My dad had several Fergies including a 60, 200, 220 and a 265.
We like this old tractor.
Good job
Thank you
Amazing the way perkins engine start up,must be the most reliable ever builth.
Great engine!!
What a beautiful old girl... ❤
Thank you!
Good ol nasty ferguson
We love it.
Don’t be afraid to let her have a bit more summer air there bud!
This is a good old tractor. Needs more work and hopefully next spring we can get it.
Perkins engine! Always start
This thing is a beast!!

nice video but what is the tractor in the back ground looks like back wheel are metel
Thank you. The other tractor is a 1950 TO20 Ferguson. Steel wheels were installed, unfortunately the tractor isn’t powerful enough to fully utilize the extra traction. We will be working on that in the future.
Sounded like gummy injection at first start running fuel through seemed to help
Hot shots has seemed to clean it up nicely. Doesn’t sound like it has a mis any longer.
It's sad to see equipment set that has no real issues. Most equipment is tired when parked. I know of a JD with less than 2000 original hours 1977 model sat outside it's whole life.
Unfortunately it happens. This tractor had sat outside most of its life. Too many projects and sometimes things sit.
New looking tires and a shiny new stack? First start?
Dry cracked tires and a 15 year old stack?
Would have been a good idea to start it and let run every 6 months or so.
Unfortunately we let it sit due to a blown out hydraulic line. Fixed that and fired it up.
What is the chariot in the background with the tin wheels and loader ?
1950 to20 Ferguson. Has a loader and steel wheels on the rear. Working on that as we speak. Will be a future video.

The guy in the dark blue shirt, is his name Tim? If it is, I used to work with him.
Yea it is.
It undoubtedly has been rode hard and put away wet a few times or so
It is also 55 years old and has lived outdoors for 95 percent of its life. Looks pretty good though. 😀
1100 were naturally aspirated tractors unless they were an add on that I know nothing about
Turbo was an add on to this 1100. 1100 had a Naturally aspirated engine from the factory, 1130 was same engine and compression ratio but with a turbo.
why was it parked for 6 years?
Too many projects and not enough time.
You guys sure are afraid of spraying ether. Might as well point it in the air and spray
Didn’t need it. Enough fuel at it fired. Probably shouldn’t have used it at all. 😬
Can I buy it 😂
This bad boy isn’t for sale. 😂

It’s literally a different exhaust manifold and a turbo. 1130 and 1100 have the exact same Perkins diesel. Right down to the compression ratio.
@@GravelAndGritGarage Exactly. 1130s are scarce around here.

Ran got shots through it and it cleared out real quick.
