This has become my new favorite ritual. Get up friday, friday being my day off. Wake up to a new video from mr JT, drink my coffee, have a piece of toast. Then go out to my little farm and go play with my own old tractor. Thank you JT, you absolute legend.

Who needs an exercise program when you can climb over and under your tractor 10 times holding 30 pounds of parts and tools in awkward positions? You're a good man JT.
My son and I love to watch your videos every weekend. He, and I do too, loves the Massey stuff. As we run 6 Massey's ourselves. Including 165 and 1105 and some newer ones as well. Keep up the good work. We appreciate you 🌞
From Denmark, When I was a young man in 1972, I was on a farm for 4 years. We drive with a new MF 165, an MF 35, MF 178. We also had a Danish built Tractor a BUKH 403, a 40Hk with 3 Cylinder, a fantastic tractor. It has been many years since Denmark stopped building tractors, we were too small. But there were quite a lot of the BUCK 302/403 and 452 in Denmark in the 1960s and 1970s. And our combine was an MF 87 8ft. One of the most stable combines I knew, never any problems and it harvested 70 hectares = 173 Acres every year.
Nice fab, & idea on the oil fill tube, & as usual great content, & never a dull moment. Some some guys would have given up, & start pounding sand😒😪. Remain calm, & tractor on.
Great video. So happy to see you aren't drinking Bud lite. Keep up the great work and know that you are making an old man (81) happy. I love this stuff but would hate to be doing it myself.
Love your videos I grew up in a Massey family. Over the years Dad had a 65,165.1100,1105,1130.1150 and a 2775.The first combine I remember was a 300,no cab. He then had a 410 and then a 750. My favorite of all was by far the 1150. Keep up the awesome videos and get a Massey combine!
I had to do the same job on my 1805 about 20 years ago. I also had belts hanging for the hydraulic pumps but I have never had to change one in the almost 30 years I have owned it.
gotta love the smoke show of a true vintage muffler articulating tractors are so fun ,spent a summer on a family farm in Saskatchewan with a JD 8630 . far cry from our Ontario row crop tractors of the time
under the dash and under the tractor, wondering how they did it at the factory: well they had a team of 6. one guy, JT under the dash in a precarious position, 3 standing watching, and 2 out sick! gotta love jobs where you need a helper but they are just in the way! I bought a set of thin angle wrenches and they help, sometimes...often it's regular wrench 1 degree, angle wrench side 1, 1 degree; angle wrench end 2, half degree; flip regular wrench quarter degree; REPEAT; drop wrench! careful with the back, they don't heal and it's the silliest way that you hurt it.
I sure am enjoying watching you getting that old girl back running again! the old saying is nothing ventured, nothing gained You will get it running right and can't wait to see you fixing it up and cleaned up then working in the field.
Growing up in the logging and farming business and doing it for over 30 years I've done a bit of working on these old treasures myself. It can sure be a rewarding and enjoyable experience when you approach as you do with that certain attitude. If rust and debris falling in your eyes, ears, and mouth, while at the same time something unknown is crawling down your collar just as your hand slips off a wrench and smashes your knuckles bloody would turn you off from a project then I'd suggest avoiding these machines as much as possible. If you can stick to buying newer stuff with warranty and dealer support. Stay clean and keep your sanity. For those that can though, and I know many still out there can and do, a day like this is all just a party. Most importantly though let's keep as much good old iron as we can out of the recycling. I have nightmares of old cabover Peterbilt's, and C6 Tree Farmers coming back as Kias and Subarus. And for you "eyesore" kind of people, please try hard to keep in mind that old one's man's junk is another man's treasure thing too. Lets not limit this to old machinery either. There are true advantages to some of this old stuff that are not at all related to sentimentality
I wish I had half of your ambition JT! Every time I crawl up into that space between the engine and the transmission I either am missing a tool I need or I gotta take a pizz! Bad enough crawling in there wearing jeans and a T shirt much less all that winter gear!
Hey Joe,,nicely done, as always. Couple things,,was getting concerned about all the smoke, but looks like it cleaned up ok. Second,,,gunslinger is gonna demand a shootout,,lol.
The smoke concerns me a little too, but it’s been sitting for such a long time and it’s not all that warm around here. I need to get it hooked to something and let it rip for a few hours. Then, I’ll be either real concerned or it’ll clean right up 😉
I watched your first video the other day. We need some more garden tractor revivals, the John Deere and Case was nice, but we need more 😆. Its great how you haven't changed in the 3 years that you've done this. Thank you, and P.S. my boss said he's going to sell that 165 Massey, I'm going to cry, I guess I will have to buy my own massey after high school.😅
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 I have Massey Ferguson 10 that I would let sell you, I runs great but needs a new transmission and I don't have a spare one, I won't go into any gear
@@Mowerboy5503 I mean I like big tractors just as much as I like garden tractor, I have 3 old garden tractors and 1 W400 International, I like all tractors, it's just that when Jt did his 3 garden tractor videos, I liked them a lot,
Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed following along with your progress on the rehab. My recollection is that steering was very responsive on the 1800s, even more so than on the 1805s, but that may have had them juiced because we were running extra-wide flotation tires so that we could work in the rice fields. It is really nice to see the old girl run, even a little.
I think I’ve seen that myself somewhere. The flow divider is a little different between the two, maybe that contributes to that. I think the cylinder is shot on this one causing my problems.
Nice one.J.t at lest you got in the dry that mud is no fun iv had anuf off that in my life. Glad you got in the work shop a broken up floor beets mud any day. Hope you had good day last Tuesday. From Andy in uk
Hey JT, congrats on getting that big thing moving and steering. My current project had a bad ring gear so I couldn't start it without a tug. My critics couldn't understand why it was important to , first thing, replace the ring gear. I'm with you 100%! If it moves under it's own power everything else is much easier!😊 Years ago I got a good deal on a set of "crows foot" wrenches. I've only ever used them two times but when I pulled the control valve ( bucket) out of my Bobcat, they saved the day. The satisfaction of getting something working again is worth the cold, snow, rain, mud, .....? Sure it is!😊 Thanks
ive never put together a hydraulic system backwards, but to be fair ive never put one back together someone else took apart 20yrs prior. ive always had it together when i started and took pictures. good on you
, I changed a leaky hose on a jd 4630 steering system that the steering valve needed repair. Started up the tractor and steering won’t work properly. Though that maybe steering valve was still giving issue but turned out the new hose was restricting oil flow, never would have guessed or seen that before . Glad you checked out your hoses. There should be a gpm and pressure output spec for that pump would be first place to start after filter change. Then after that see what’s bypassing or internal leakage
Filters....could be you aren't getting enough flow through the filter for the steering pump. Starving the pump for oil would cause all thar foam also. Just an idea....
Hej JT, greetings from Sweden.... always mark your orbital hoses,centre punch or paint pen 😊. In terms of your dipstick mod, well it may have cost 3 USD to include it on the job 1 build BUT you need to consider the other costs, design, material selection, specification, approval, part identification, parts carry etc, etc. Every part used on MF equipment goes through a rigorous approval and acceptance process. Same for all tractor manufacturers and through the production run upgrades and modifications are released through rectification programmes and dealer service bulletins. It's not as easy as you seem to believe. 😊😊😊
Well, I can agree with that. Just seems like since they only had a standard pipe 90’ fitting they could have changed that to a 45 with an extension pipe.
Old Smokey.. till you get the exhaust leak fixed. I would have done the same thing for that dip stick/filler tube myself... they could have done something like that from the factory. Be careful and looking forward to the next update videos.
If you loosen the hose on the rams but don't take off try stear it it get air out of the line like bleating then but it be messy that should help you out

You and me both!
Now my Friday is good! Thanks JT.
Any time!
Hi friend you never fail you know your stuff when it comes to old tractors first class please keep the great videos coming from Scotland 😊
Thanks, will do!
Who needs an exercise program when you can climb over and under your tractor 10 times holding 30 pounds of parts and tools in awkward positions? You're a good man JT.
Thanks! I agree! That is more than a workout lol
It moves that's a step in the right direction. Always fun to watch your videos J T. I'm going to enjoy seeing this old tractor back to work .
Thanks 👍
Another Great Video. Looking forward to seeing the 1800 come together. Thanks for the Videos.
you are one man that knows his tractors

That makes me happy! I appreciate that very much!
Wow.... it lives it moves it steers
That’s great progress on the 180.
Making progress is always a good thing great work so far JT
Thanks!
From Denmark,
When I was a young man in 1972, I was on a farm for 4 years.
We drive with a new MF 165, an MF 35, MF 178.
We also had a Danish built Tractor a BUKH 403, a 40Hk with 3 Cylinder, a fantastic tractor.
It has been many years since Denmark stopped building tractors, we were too small.
But there were quite a lot of the BUCK 302/403 and 452 in Denmark in the 1960s and 1970s.
And our combine was an MF 87 8ft.
One of the most stable combines I knew, never any problems and it harvested 70 hectares = 173 Acres every year.
That’s a handful with a 8ft machine!
Hearing all the honking sounds like a Canadian invasion!
They have been out in full force lately!
Every time I watch your wonderful videos, I love to be a farmer like you, and I love old agricultural tractors, with all my respect to you.❤❤
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Give you credit JT. Freezing just watching this!
😆. It’s not bad as long as I keep moving lol
Great success with the ol girl,least like you said it.s under cover
You got that right!
Nice fab, & idea on the oil fill tube, & as usual great content, & never a dull moment. Some some guys would have given up, & start pounding sand😒😪. Remain calm, & tractor on.
Nicely done JT! She is just air bound
Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your journey.
Enjoy watching you diagnose your equipment and not be afraid to tackle the project. Great job!🤜🤛
Thanks! Still a long way to go but I’ll get it 😉
Great video. So happy to see you aren't drinking Bud lite. Keep up the great work and know that you are making an old man (81) happy. I love this stuff but would hate to be doing it myself.
Right on! Glad I can help 😉
Great job ;)
Nice work bud!!! Gonna be a great old workhorse when she’s done. Soon you’ll have a nice new shop to work in. Love the videos JT.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Very well done
The fine folks at Massy Ferguson made sure you would have fun working on it
That’s for sure 😉
good job jt
Good call flushing the lines!
Thanks! They were pretty bad!
Good vid. Never change the content
Thanks! I’ll keep my content as it is! 😉
Great video thanks for sharing god bless
Yessir, you’re getting closer! Well done JT ! Enjoyed watching!
Thanks! Hopefully will have this one in the field before too long!
Another Massey back up and running ready for work 😃👍👍
You got that right!
Cheers JT! Nice video!
Great vidj nice big old bit of kit 👨🌾👍🏴☠️👌💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💯💯💯

You are the Red Green of farming
Love your videos I grew up in a Massey family. Over the years Dad had a 65,165.1100,1105,1130.1150 and a 2775.The first combine I remember was a 300,no cab. He then had a 410 and then a 750. My favorite of all was by far the 1150. Keep up the awesome videos and get a Massey combine!
As soon as I can find one 😉
great to see it moving in the cab, the price you have invested awesome
Good one JT definitely deserve a beer 👏👏
Glad to see that was NOT a" bud light beer".
It was not.
You'll get her
If it helps we’re all pulling on the wrench with ya
That makes all the difference 😉
I had to do the same job on my 1805 about 20 years ago. I also had belts hanging for the hydraulic pumps but I have never had to change one in the almost 30 years I have owned it.
It’s all about alignment with those. As long as they’re straight they’ll last 😉
gotta love the smoke show of a true vintage muffler
articulating tractors are so fun ,spent a summer on a family farm in Saskatchewan with a JD 8630 . far cry from our Ontario row crop tractors of the time
I gotta ditch that old muffler sooner than later 😆
some people are sure hooked on patina lol
@@jtsbarnngrill6873
That old girl could sure use a straight pipe for the exhaust.
By the words of Bob Marley: Steer it up JT !! 😄
Cheers, Ard
F'en-HILLARIOUS🤣😭🤣🤩👍
😆😆
I love your videos. That’s the kind of stuff I love to do. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Great video JT, I can’t tell you how many times my 50/50 chances, went the other way 😂, it’s great to have something to think about 👍🏻
Seems like that happens more often than I’d like to admit lol
60% of the time it goes my way every time…or something like that.
under the dash and under the tractor, wondering how they did it at the factory: well they had a team of 6. one guy, JT under the dash in a precarious position, 3 standing watching, and 2 out sick! gotta love jobs where you need a helper but they are just in the way!

I hear that! Seems like nothing heals up nearly as well as it once did 😉
From Denmark,
It's always exciting to see your channel and what you come up with.
thumbs up.
Thank you very much!
I really enjoy your videos on those old Masseys.
Glad you like them!
Excellent video JT :) also glad parts got to and fix up temporarily also barn shop to fix up too! Like homemade dipstick made too and well done!
Right on!
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 welcome JT :)
I sure am enjoying watching you getting that old girl back running again! the old saying is nothing ventured, nothing gained
You will get it running right and can't wait to see you fixing it up and cleaned up then working in the field.
Thanks! I have high hopes for this one
Awesome job there sir, that ole girl is gonna be one sharp tractor when you get if finished and all painted up.
I hope so!
You need to invest in several loads of rock there for your mud problem.
Aha !!! I caught that the siding is still on the carport this was made before the last one we saw. !!!!😊
Yes it was! I was trying to do both at roughly the same time lol

Step by step.
Nice J.T .
This is nog a Bad tractor.🍻
Greets and till the next video.👍
Thanks 👍
We had an Oliver 1900 with that gear motor steering it became worn a few thousands of inches and wasnt very responsive but it worked
Correction, there’s 17,500 of us under that tractor at one time. Good on ya!👍🏻 I would bet a year from now that number will have another 0 behind it.
That would be awesome! I can hope!
I wish I had half of your ambition JT! Every time I crawl up into that space between the engine and the transmission I either am missing a tool I need or I gotta take a pizz! Bad enough crawling in there wearing jeans and a T shirt much less all that winter gear!
That’s for sure. It’s tight in there already, the extra layers sure don’t help 😉
Thanks JT

@jtsbarnngrill6873 Does it seem to be oil or fuel? Lot's of o-rings and seals in that engine don't like to sit.
I think it’s mostly fuel blubbering
Love the tractor, love the video, but please put a new muffler on it!
Working on it! Just like Johnny cash. One piece at a time
Great work👍, thanks for sharing 💨💨
So excited to see beast brought back
Thanks!
Excellent 👍

I try 😉
Your a cup half full guy . I admire that !
Yes I am! It’s the only way for me lol
HELL-HAL'...I Coulda'-Swore He was a FULL-CAN🍺GUY Until SomeBody DRINKs Him!!!🥳
Looks like a snug fit in the barn 😊
Not much room for error lol
Thanks , JT for another....Fast + Easy !/2 hour of Get'in to it + at least somewhere .....wrench en !!
You bet 😆
cool
My dream for after hs is to apprentice under someone like JT and learn the ways of working on good ole equipment
Right on! I like how you think!
👍🏻👍🏻
👌
If it fits it ships
, I changed a leaky hose on a jd 4630 steering system that the steering valve needed repair. Started up the tractor and steering won’t work properly. Though that maybe steering valve was still giving issue but turned out the new hose was restricting oil flow, never would have guessed or seen that before . Glad you checked out your hoses. There should be a gpm and pressure output spec for that pump would be first place to start after filter change. Then after that see what’s bypassing or internal leakage
Right on. I believe that is what’s going on here. Seems like it steers good for a few seconds at a time
Great progress irregardless. I bet a lot of the air will dissipate just sitting. 50% chance Lol. Thx
Hopefully!
GREAT-FUNNY...I'm 50%LAUGHING🤩🤣
Been so busy working on my own stuff that i missed this one yesterday.
That’ll happen! Glad you caught it 😉
Filters....could be you aren't getting enough flow through the filter for the steering pump. Starving the pump for oil would cause all thar foam also. Just an idea....
I’m a step ahead of ya 😉
Think skinny getting in those tight spots. Lol 😆 That is an awkward spot to get to with that valve. The old girl starts really nice 👍
She’s getting better every time I start it!
My 1805 has a leak from the steering under the hood was hoping it was a hose. I may need to pay attention when you rebuild that valve.
Hopefully it’ll help!
Now you know what more to do to make the 1800 more better . 😁 baby steps before running laps . Hydraulic Cylinder rebuild ? Great video . thanks
I think the cylinder is probably shot, but I’ve got some testing to do
Hej JT, greetings from Sweden.... always mark your orbital hoses,centre punch or paint pen 😊.

I would have done the same thing for that dip stick/filler tube myself... they could have done something like that from the factory.
Be careful and looking forward to the next update videos.
Thanks!
That thing sure does burn alot of oil
Obviously this was recorded before last week’s episode, since the lean-to shed is still there in the background…
I worked on this for a couple weeks.
All I can say is plus plus an to you have laid in the mud working on anything you wouldn't understand good video thanks
If you loosen the hose on the rams but don't take off try stear it it get air out of the line like bleating then but it be messy that should help you out
50/50/90 In a 50/50 chance 90% of the time you will be wrong! 🙃
That is 100% correct 😆
