Good evening Dan.. I'm a new follower and ex farm wife from New Hampshire.. Thank you for the videos.. I found you as a referral from Thomas Pemberton.. Have a great day ❤️
Enjoying this vintage series. Did my apprenticeship in the mid 70's in diesel fuel injection, down in Dorset. We used to see all sorts, loads of hauliers, lots of farmers with all manner of Perkins from p3 to V8's. Even saw the Gardner stuff (usually when the fair was in town) also loads of marine stuff including the big stuff from the tug boats etc. Happy times before electronics. Keep up the good work
I also served a diesel mechanics apprenticeship in the 70s. Worked on Foden eight-wheel tippers and skip loaders with Gardner engines, Albions, Bedfords and Two-stroke Commers. The TS3 engine was an interesting beast and made a fantastic sound. Great days.
@@ianthomson4609 Good to know. Didn't do much vehicle work, just the fuel systems. Back in a time when the stuff could be reconditioned rather than exchanged. Used to do all the injection equipment for Sabre marine, so lots of Ford D series, and R & D work for them until they started their own shop. Loved the Gardners, and I remember the Commers, wasn't the TS3 horizontally opposed? I remember they had a lovely sound. Ahh the good old days
islandjohnnyboy Yes TS3 had three cylinders but six pistons horizontally opposed with Roots blower. Our neighbour ran a fleet of half-cab Foden tippers with the Foden two-stroke engine. If you had a decent driver on the 12 speed gearbox, they would make a glorious sound and make all the office windows rattle.
Another great video and memories ..I learnt to drive on a MF 35 aged 11...😨...those were the days 😂😂...thanks Dan. My Dad still scrapes the yard with it too ...👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the latest Vintage Thursday video Dan. Interesting to see how the PTO engages inside the gearbox. I restored a 1957 Series One Land-rover a few years ago and that had leather oil seals. Before you replace the top cover, can you show the hydraulic pump and describe how the oil flows around the system please.
I am sorry, this is the one I was watching regards the lever thingy. I hope this makes more sense now. Also, on the same subject, where does the hydraulic oil go for the equipment piece at the back, in this case a slasher attachment please? Well I just watched it ALL and saw what I was looking for this time. Thank you. I must have missed it the first time. I do appreciate you videos. Very well presented and you are a good instructor.
Can you remind me of the question with regards to the lever please? The hydraulic oil is filled through the bung to the left of the 2 gear levers. Dipstick for checking the level is on the right hand side of the transmission, opposite the lever in this video.
Great video Dan i have a 1974 135 unfortunately I broke the pto lever i got a replacement to fit when i remove the side cover does all the oil have to be drained out first
I've seen trailers with the axle powered by a ground speed PTO (e.g. for working in peat bogs etc.) I had a Renault with a ground speed PTO and if l got the pick up bunged on The JD round baler I used to engage ground speed then reverse the tractor, it worked like a charm!
Another great video young man. A mate of mine has a 1959 grey fergy that is stuck in 1st gear. I don't know a lot about these tractors so not sure if I will be involved with it's repair? If I am, I will try to get a video of it. He has a few grey Fergy's including a great vinyard version too that as far as I know is fully working.
@@JonDingle My 1959 MF35 does the same thing once in a while. I use a big screwdriver through the filler hole to slide gears around until the shifter is finally freed. It took me 30 minutes the first time. It takes about 5 minutes now that I've had some practice. Can't say I really know what I'm doing though.
Dan,is the pto lever the same on a 135? My neighbours 135 pto lever keeps slipping into neutral when he is topping,must be a weak or broken spring?He ties the lever back with a piece of baleing twine
Any idea why the engine PTO might be jumping out under load? Can only think tired detent /detent spring, or maybe worn selector stub..or ring on selector gear. Cant be anything else? Not had it apart yet…was wondering if worn PTO Shaft ? Rear bearing or ?
I think you're right with the detent or spring. Could be worn PTO gear too. Have the side plate off and take a look, you should see everything you need to through there.
@@CowfarmerDan The lady owner says someone has already checked…but i have my doubts… She grinds the splines/ gear too each time she engages it..so gotta look at clutch pedal free play too. 1/2 inch mx from memory…3/8th’s ? The bloke that worked on it recently just fixed fuel lek on the feed pipe to the filter from the lift pump by cutting the steel pipe leaving a 1/2 inch stub coming out the first filter and fitting a rubber hose 😞. Looks like the old pipe had rotted away..battery acid maybe. I was going to get filter body off and remove old fitting and clean up, bend/flare/ fit new pipe all the way to the lift pump……hate seeing such quick ‘temp’ fixes..ok if busy in the season…/in field repair..but while laid up over winter 😡
Hello sir, i have the same tractor Massey Ferguson 35 same mask and motor, from an unknown year of production. It is imported and i want to know how much kilowatts is it? There aren't any marks, thank you.
Nice one Dan . we’ll all soon be able to overhaul any type of vintage Massey with all these helpful vids 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice to know that parts are still available for these vintage machines. Thanks for the video.
Nice one Dan. Got my 1955 TE20 running on Sunday. What a joy. Happy to have found your channel mate 👍
Another excellent video Dan, nice to see little repairs and renovations on the collection.
Good morning Dan, Thank you for the video!! Take care and stay safe 👍😎🇬🇧.
Thanks for the vintage Thursday Dan love to see you working on some of the equipment.

Your vid should give people the confidence to repair that seal Dan 👍

Great little video 👍👍
Good video i have a 65 same set up my issue is the PTO lever wont move off from ground speed so this was helpful. Thx
Great video as always farmer dan
very good vid dan!
you sure know a lot about these old things
First time seal replaced since tractor left the factory,Massey built to last
Great video 👍 very informative 👍 👍 👍
Thank you for the video.
Interessant 👌
Loved that thanks for sharing Dan look forward to see more
Excellent!
ok,if you dont want to hammer that pin,that you made on your lathe,you can hammer in a hollow spring type of pin instead.Nice wiev of inside box.

@@CowfarmerDan Thanks Dan, both questions now answered. Now I am off to the tractor to ensure I have enough oil in the hydraulics for the slasher.
Great video Dan i have a 1974 135 unfortunately I broke the pto lever i got a replacement to fit when i remove the side cover does all the oil have to be drained out first
Just drain enough to get it below the bottom bolt hole.
@@CowfarmerDan thanks Dan
Please tell me the dimensions of the semmering you installed on the handle.
Nice
What implementes would need ground speed pto I have never used it just curious as to when you would use it ?
Presumably you use it if the pto is driving the wheels on the implement being used. I'm only guessing cos I'm not an expert or even a farmer.
I've seen trailers with the axle powered by a ground speed PTO (e.g. for working in peat bogs etc.) I had a Renault with a ground speed PTO and if l got the pick up bunged on The JD round baler I used to engage ground speed then reverse the tractor, it worked like a charm!
lime spreaders use ground PTO

If it's 1959 it'll be a 35.
A big screwdriver through the filler plug hole might be all that's needed to free off 1st gear 🤞
@@CowfarmerDan Good point, been pondering on that and I recall him saying it's a 1953, the coronation year. Sorry, my mistake.
Definitely a TE 20 then.
Still worth having a poke with the screwdriver.
@@CowfarmerDan I will have a chat with him later this week.

Yes, it will be similar.
Sounds like he needs to take the plate off and investigate.

@@CowfarmerDan can you get the pto gear/collar out the sideplate once you pull the pto out the back? Or is it a top off job?
Top off job I'm afraid.
@@CowfarmerDan thanks
Expected that, but live in hope !
Hi, can this seal be replaced without removing the top hydroulic cover housing?
Yes
CowfarmerDan thanks alot , i have IMT 542 the tractor is build under the license of Massey Ferguson so every thing is the same as on MF
Hello sir, i have the same tractor Massey Ferguson 35 same mask and motor, from an unknown year of production. It is imported and i want to know how much kilowatts is it? There aren't any marks, thank you.
44hp for a 35X
What is the difference between 35 and 35x?
Just a few more horse power in a 35X
@@CowfarmerDan thank you.
Çok teşekür ederim abi 265 i senin sağyende yaptım p.t.o yu...
Its normally a roll pin holding the lever in place
None of mine have a roll pin, all steel pins.
CowfarmerDan I had. 35 from new it was roll pins in her small one inside a larger one
