Boy I sure was glad to see you get up in the seat to start that tractor, So many have been hurt or killed by starting equipment they thought were in neutral. Well you blew it starting the second one. But I remembered when I saw you restart the tractor that you have to have the small shifter for high and low range in neutral to start it. JT you are one heck of a mechanic!
JT, I’m blown away by your diagnostic skills and your ability to repair these tractors with such ease. My only issue with this video is your cousin not being there to at least support you. Looking forward to your next one. Be safe and take care.🤜🤛
We had a MF 1080 tractor that I loved, you sat high and proud driving that tractor; some of my fondest memories of the dairy farm were of driving that tractor. We also had the MF 165, MF 50, MF 1105 with a cab, and the MF 3165 industrial tractor/loader painted yellow.
Tractor safety reminders are important. The safety start switches are because Harry or Henry (Ferguson or Ford) ran over his foot when starting one the early models like the 9n from standing on the ground.
Starring the Tractor Whisper. it is great that family has the same type of equipment as you do for parts laying around, Nothing like morning coffee with a great video. Kudo's. Looks like a bushhog is in order around his building hint hint. Nice to see one restored to use
That's another cool collection of massey fergusons right there. It was around the age of 10 that I caught the bug and just loved driving tractors ever since.
Good Morning J T, Hey thats a great refresher course on hydraulic pumps. I once had a similar problem trying to get a ford tractor to operate a Hesston baler.. thanks for Sharing. 😊
Excellent video JT :) I remember my late uncle , one aunt had farm north of home farm I grew up on too and on farm my uncle plus aunt had Massey Ferguson tractor and combine all Desiel motor one one year need my help do silo corn ! Not sure Model number or year there had but some reason there Hydraulic stuff stop on steering tight up and plus every ! Fun part got stopped with clutch and fuel shut off ! No leaks, pump no leaks and or lines blew ! Tractor was good condition store inside always was not box you replaced, or pump your uncle did plus lines with hoses and plugged oil filter with Silo corn stalks peices got on steel line split suck in ! Yes the Tractor Dealership Mechanic had fix plus flushed out systems too also but my uncle and aunt not bad on matinne up just happen to anyone Mechanic told them! But lucky let me bring up my dad & other uncle from home farm up to there only 15 mins away from there's! I see find my Aunt tell me what tractor number was and year back then tell soon ! Only other time I know lines get hot if pump weak on proller not spinning fast enough or filter dirty clogged up from old age oil and or line or hose let lose! Or one in Winters Season months frozen up just like rad hose and heater core leak or plugged up from rodents!
Hey Joe,,,nicer than new. Monday the 27th,and like the song says,a day hot enough to make the devil sigh. Having a blue mountain refreshment in yer honor. Cheers 🍻
Massey Ferguson Television 😊Love It! I know exactly what you’re talking about, for the past two weeks I’ve been running down other people’s problems while one of my many projects is on hold. Oh well it’s nice to be needed. What’s that Red Green line? If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. Thats me. 😂
True story, neighbor girl in high school went to start her tractor to warm up to feed cattle b4 school. She moved the shifter and wiggled it like she was taught and thinking it was in neutral she twisted the key. The tractor started in gear and ran her over luckily it was a smaller tractor and it didn’t kill her but it did paralyze her from the waist down and break her right leg in 4 places and her right hip as well as her left arm in 3 places and her shoulder and collar bone! She spent senior year in a series of casts starting with body cast and then a full arm cast and full leg cast for about 6 months as her spinal cord injury slowed bone growth! My dad volunteered me to drive her to school and back after she got out of the hospital, so this memory is planted and thought of every time I start my tractor.
Well done! It looks like both of the MF285s in your movie are equipped with Perkins 4.318 (5.2 L). In Europe MF285/290 were equipped with Perkins 4.248 (4.1 L).
Nice collection of MF tractors. It reminds me of the 255 I use to have. I wish I kept it but we still have the square axle 165. I love the 165 body style.
Had to do the same repair on an industrial 40B Massey that I owned boy that was heavy built tractor solid case iron nose ,solid front axle,strong pulling tractor in the field could pull 3 bottom 18 plow anywhere.
Nice one j.t. I see you had to ues the fiddle breaks to get one tractor out. It was a bit of a squeeze. You should off just drove it home as it needs some bits done on it. And said couldn't get back in the barn so you took it for payment for the other one. I'm with you on all old tractors you don't need many tools. And if you get workshop manual it was all pictures so you need to have to read anything. Don't forget get all the big masseys are getting together end off September. Great video as normal. From Andy in uk
It’s interesting to see the small differences between the 285 and my 270 (made in 1986). The muffler on my tractor exists beside and outside the hood on the passenger side. The power steering pump is also on the passenger side. My tractor has the MF 236 loader and I notice the rear loader locks are different on your 285 loader mount but is otherwise identical to the loader mount used on my 236 loader. If I were going to guess, the 270 (made between 1984 and 1986) is essentially just a 265 with updated sheet metal and wet hydraulic rear brakes whereas the 285 may have more in common with early 300 series tractors which came later. As far as I know, my MF 270 is rated at about 62 BHP. No idea what the BHP rating is for the 285.
Having been cooked at extreme temperatures and pressure for an undetermined length of time, the quality of the oil in that hydraulic system is worthless. Wouldnt it be wise to drain and replace it as part of the fix? Nice diagnostic on the wrong pump design. A fun Sunday video.
I had a 93’ Dodge 250 4x4 diesel that heated the power steering up to where it would be smoking. Never had any steering parts. And it had 365k miles. So much was wore out I decided to just sell it. It needed a complete restore. I’m thinking pump,sector and hoses would have fixed it. But transmission was weak and front end would have needed everything. I’ve never seen power steering do that. I’ve put sectors in and pumps that have failed. I’m sure it was close to starting on fire. After 7 miles trying to drive to my farm from town. Smoke was coming out from under hood. When I stopped and shut it down. You could hear the fluid boiling. Couldn’t believe it. It leaked very little. I’ve always changed parts for leaks. Rarely added fluid. Guess it’s more common than I thought.
Drove both 285 and 255 back in the 80s. Steering was bad. They needed to be steered to go in a straight line. About one revolution of the steering wheel every 1000 feet or so.
If they put a closed circuit steering motor on it like you said it was bypassing through the pressure release and that will definitely make it get hot fast
I think the tractors would fit better if you angle the 285 towards the farmall then the other might fit better going straight in or maybe aiming it to the right on the way in.
Dad had a 165, 275 and 1105 when I grew up on our farm! I have never seen a low clearance 285! Curious why he had the left rear spun out and the right rear tucked in?
We had a 285 and for baling or chopping having the right tire in keeps it from driving on the rows. Left tire out helps with stabilizing on the hills. All 285s are utility profile. The 1085 was the row crop version.
Did Massey make a 185? My cousin had a tractor the size of that 285 but I think it was 185? Also, I don't remember the transmission shifter on the floor, I remember them being on the dash. Funny story w that tractor, Noone told me it would freewheel in low and it almost got away from me with a load of hay.
Not trying to be a horses rear end, but here it goes.... That is hydraulic steering, not power (power assisted) steering. There is no manual/mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the front wheels/drag link as you would find in "power steering" where hydraulics "assist" the "manual" steering gear. With hydraulic steering, your orbital valve operates a hydraulic cylinder which moves (steers) the front wheels/drag link. I know I am being technically picky, but there is a difference. I gerry rigged hydraulic steering onto my compact Kubota, which had manual steering (not power steering), because I overloaded the front end loader too often and ripped out the manual steering gear a couple of times and then had to rebuild the steering gear. I had enough and bought parts off of that internet-bay site and rigged hydraulic steering on a compact tractor that orignally had manual steering. Now I can steer it with one finger with the front end loader fully loaded.
I can appreciate your technical correctness. However, it isn’t manual steering, thus it is power steering. Clearly stated on the wheel of the tractor. I realize it is hydrostatic, but … give me a break. 🤷🏻
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 I know! Like I said, I wasn't trying to be a horses rear end, but there is a technical difference. I guess even the engineers or people at MF didn't comprehend the "difference" or maybe they did not differentiate back when the 285 was built. (I drove a 65 back in the day and remember when my dad bought it new, so that tells you how old I am.) I just know there is a "technical" difference between "hydraulic steering" and "power (assisted) steering" today, regardless of the labels on the steering wheel. Manual steering is whole different topic.I could tell stories around that concerning bus drivers who did not know how to hold the steering wheel on a bus without power steering and Ms and Hs. Us farm boys knew where to NOT hold a steering wheel or put our thumbs on equipment that did not have power steering!
I have MF 270 with a MF 236 quick detach loader. Mine is an 8 speed without multi-power. It just sips fuel too. I just finished refreshing the front axle legs, spindles and wheel bearings on mine as the tractor’s previous owner had used it to clean out stables so the loader and front end had had a lot of use. Interestingly, the front axle centred pivot bushing was in great shape. Since I was doing repairs anyway, I put new seals in the loader bucket boom cylinders as they weren’t holding pressure for long periods anymore. I also freshened up some of the rubber hydraulic lines on the loader as they were not in good shape and I added some fittings to the rubber hydraulic lines running to the loader controls so I can disconnect the loader hydraulics from the tractor at the loader controls rather than having to disconnect the rubber lines at the rear of the tractor. All I have left to do now is repaint the hood and splash some black paint on the bucket and she will once again be a fine looking and operating tractor. 19:33
Are tractors open or closed center? Also, take some hydraulic fluid and lube your orings on the fittings. When I worked for John Deere, that’s what we did to keep them malleable.
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 you can’t put a closed loop valve on a open loop system. The oil has no return path. By you installing an open center valve, now the oil has a return path as before it was dead heading it.
Putting tractors through that doorway is like trying to fit a St. Bernard through a cat door. 🤣👍🤣.
You got that right! 😆😆
When I was your age my first new tractor was a Massey 285. I was so proud of that tractor I left my pickup outside and put it in the garage.
Nice 😆
Boy I sure was glad to see you get up in the seat to start that tractor, So many have been hurt or killed by starting equipment they thought were in neutral. Well you blew it starting the second one. But I remembered when I saw you restart the tractor that you have to have the small shifter for high and low range in neutral to start it. JT you are one heck of a mechanic!

Maybe he's afraid of the camera
He and I discussed this, and I thought it better to do it myself for the video.

Right on!
Great work JT- spent time in my youth working for my uncle- 285, 275 and 165 was his fleet- pleasure to drive them all- enjoy your week
Thank you!
That must be Massey Ferguson territory! Good looking tractors tho. An as always, JT solved the problem. You the Man JT !
There was a lot of them here 30 years ago!
Breakfast with JT gonna be a good day. Really enjoy your videos
Thanks! I appreciate that
I like your back to the future t shirt JT.
Hanging out at my place is like being in 1985!
Or earlier!
Right on! Same here 😆
Problems with your Massey-Ferguson!
Call J.T !
Have a nice week J.T. 👍👍
Greetings 🤠🇳🇱
Thanks, you too!
Nice fergies you have there. Have to be thirteen to drive a tractor in England. Thank you for looking after them.
You bet😉
😁great fix JT. 🤔 mabey you could fix your freinds mower .. he got lots of weeds and grass .thanks
Nope, just need to spray around everything lol
Impressed by your fix and by your ability to get those tractors out of the shed! Nice work for the family members!

I think it is 84-85hp

Bloody good tractor here 😆
It’s always good to fix problems that someone else has caused
Right on!
you are correct Ita an orbital This is coming from Heavy diesel mechanic
Right on!
Nice job!
Thanks!
Good call JT. Used that stating method on Dad's 135 Deluxe for 5 years before he finally said, go fix it. Then he asked, why didn't you fix it sooner?
😆. That happens lol
Having been cooked at extreme temperatures and pressure for an undetermined length of time, the quality of the oil in that hydraulic system is worthless. Wouldnt it be wise to drain and replace it as part of the fix? Nice diagnostic on the wrong pump design. A fun Sunday video.
Right on, my cousin and uncle did the fluid twice in their attempts, so this fluid has only been run for minutes
I had a 93’ Dodge 250 4x4 diesel that heated the power steering up to where it would be smoking. Never had any steering parts. And it had 365k miles. So much was wore out I decided to just sell it.

Dad had a 165, 275 and 1105 when I grew up on our farm! I have never seen a low clearance 285! Curious why he had the left rear spun out and the right rear tucked in?
He bought it that way, I think the original owner did some plowing? Again, not totally sure on that one lol
@@alisch80 Dad had a 165, 275 loader,285 and an 1105 at the end of his game. All very useful tractors
