  • in todays video we pull out the old girl to finish the harvest, the massey ferguson 788 combine harvester, father phil had to fix the wobble box on the combine to get her cutting and we had a small issue with a tensioner pulley running off centre and causing a pulley to hope off but we got it sorted and the combine run a dream.
    Hope you enjoy, any questions hit me down in the comments below, thanks for watching! G'Luck

    Thank you Father Phil and crew for bringing back good memories of a Massey 780 Special my first combine bought from Sam King RIP on the Derry road outside Omagh County Tyrone I think 1982 I drove it across the border to Emevale as my local lorry man Murt RIP wouldn’t cross the border at that time I could see his reason A southern registered truck in the north could cause trouble ,any way that same pump drive belt fell off on the Bridge in Omagh ,in five minutes I was surrounded on all sides by British army and they even helped my to get going and an army escort out of town We got her to her new home in Ballacolla and it became the hens friend for a few years and sold on to a family near the big Ploughing country was a good wee machine knife drive gave trouble and when we sorted that it didn’t like the serrated knife worked better with a old type sharp knife likely could have done with a set of fingers Had a Perkins LD 270 Cubic inch with Rotary fuel pump and that engine would literally pull down a house There was not many of those engines in Ireland,but were very popular in Australia

    Great to see Father Phil have a great evening cutting away with the old combine, if the 38 had'nt broke down I guess the 788 would have spent this year inside the shed again :) Looking grand, and there is nothing wrong using these old machines even these days, they do the same job, just not as fast as the newer ones :)

    Amazing Phil, you are cutting silage and it is NOT raining. What a grand day!!! I cannot believe how cold it is getting at night in your part of the world, or for that matter how cold it is during your days now. We are still suffering 90 F during our days and praying that the winds in the hurricane won't be much. It's our rainy season until the end of next month. Georgia in Central Florida.

    I just found your channel and it’s pretty neat! I’m glad to see people on the other side of the world are into the same things I am like running vintage equipment. I feature mainly Oliver and White Tractors on my channel but they’re under the AGCO family of brands so I guess we kind of have that in common too! Keep up the good work!

    Evening to one and all That’s a man, happy at his work. Father Phil one of a kind! One could not have anything but respect, for him. Preserving this machine, is a love in itself. In this very difficult world we live in. It’s good to see a combine of that age. Just getting on with what it was made for. I wonder where the modern complicated combines, will be in 50 years time. Best regards from Italy
