      Good place was dirt roads or driveways to keep them packed down.

      @@dgeorge852 My Grandfather did that--saved his old oil in a 55 gal. drum-mounted it on the back of the old tractor--with a pipe running cross ways--with holes drilled in it-once you started moving---pull a string behind you that opened a valve--and go down the road slowly. Pack tight as real asphalt. Didn't throw anything away on his place.

    @johnnyturbo8460 4 роки тому +8

    Nicely done. Just remember if you are going to fill the oil filter with oil before installing, fill the smaller holes. The big hole hoes directly into the engine. So it filters into the small holes, threw the filter element and back threw the engine to lube it. So if there is any contaminants in the new oil etc.. it will get run threw the filter 1st.
    Woooooo 😁👍 love watching and doing basic maintenance, so therapeutic

    I want to thank you for making this video. I'm not mechanically inclined and need to service a 471 that I'm borrowing from a old friend for feeding my livestock this winter. It gelled up on me (and I did treat the fuel..but see there is water in the settling bowl. I'm a herdsman..so learning to take care of my "own" tractor is a new venture for me after having guys that serviced all equipment back when I was growing up and working for other farmers.

    Thanks for the video. Applying what I learned from you on my old Lincoln SA 250D welding machine.
    I also broke a the bowl the first time I tried changing the fuel filter. The worst part is I was changing it in a middle of a job and ran into alot of trouble. Ended up taking it to a mechanic the first time. And the second time I paid someone to replace it for me. This time I'm gonna try doing it myself again.

    Good video. That’s a fine Massey. I have a 1998 model 231. It’s an excellent tractor. It takes the same filters as your 240.
    I broke a glass bowl years ago while grading a driveway. A tire threw up a rock and busted it.
    If you never wanna see corrosion again on anything with battery terminals, apply a coat of silver Never Seize/anti seize lubricant on them. I been doing this for years. A mechanic told me about it years ago.

Considering that you're all the way across the Atlantic and halfway across the US, the last thing I expected was to hear you mention my home town of Wolverhampton! Especially as the part in question was most probably made in the Lucas Engineering plant that is just 2 miles from my home, although it is now called Lucas Aerospace!

  • @engir63
    @engir63 5 років тому +2

    Josh that stuff on the battery is battery acid, the battery is boiling from being over charged. Check the volts coming into the battery and see if it is to much if it is you need to replace one of two things so now a days alternators come with internal diodes to distribute the power if you have this you need an alternator, but since that is so old you probably still have a separate voltage regulator somewhere on the tractor that is what is going to be bad because it is sending to much to the battery.

    Josh I have seen some people drill out the center of the oil plug and install a heavy rare earth magnet from harbor freight. You may want to do that. You can use some silicone around the rubber on your filters and maybe even though they don’t look dirty just blow them out.
