    Great machine.
    Probably easiest to look for a 3 lever spool block for the loader, rather than an extra slice.

  • @FlyingFergyMan
    @FlyingFergyMan Před 11 měsíci +3

    Is that for burying the money, no Cavan jokes. Great purchase for the farm, very handy and will do the same job as a machine at twice the cost. When I seen you with the shovel cleaning the drains I thought that man needs a wee digger. 😀

    Nice one, we have a 50B too, replaced a few seals etc already. The manual throttle is to the right hand side of the seat down on the floor, sticks out the very base of the seat. The big lever on the right is for the diff lock. The square plate in the toolbox with the 4 holes is the drive flange for the hydraulic pump, and the shaft with the gear is one of the hydraulic pumps gears. If you ever need to replace the pump shaft it is a reverse thread (left hand) we had to do the rubber dampers on the flange a while ago and the drive coupling sheared. White house hydraulics still do bits for the pump and the drive couplings. SJ spares did the rubber dampers and most of the seals we got from sparex and malpas tractors.

    Adrian, being as meticulous, tidy and thorough as he is, I think that over time, we can expect to see this be eventually fully restored with a new paint job. Adrian may be thinking of only fixing what is necessary at this point in time, but I'm pretty sure that it not being 'complete' and looking good will bother him little by little. In this video, he spoke about changing the plastic glass for a different and better substitute. I'll wager that this substitute eventually will be replaced with proper glass. ...and so on and so forth...This is what I like about Adrian. He looks after his equipment so that it looks after him.

  • @tadhgpheaitwillie
    @tadhgpheaitwillie Před 11 měsíci +20

    As you sit looking out the front window, there should be a hand throttle down on the floor at your right hand, under the seat. We have a standard clutch and gear 50B. Best machine ever was made. That's where the hand throttle is. Good luck with your machine. Im looking forward to seeing her in her former glory.

    Had an MF211on the Farm I worked on when I left school. Very handy. Used it to load silage out of the clamp and in the summer took off the backacter and used to stack big round bales. There was a User Manual in the shed for it. Among other "How to" sections it even had full instructions of how to use the machine to dig graves

    Ideal machine for you Adrian, it’ll do a heap of work for you from digging holes, lifting Fert and all the jobs in between. You’ll also have another “project” for you to tidy and work on as the months go on. (Like you’ve nothing else to do with your time). Congratulations and happy howking 😎😎😎😎

    Adrian, well done on the Massey digger. Great backup for the silage pit, but fabulous for drain work and shoughts on the farm.........Spend a bit , keep out of the weather and it should be a permanent tool on the farm.

  • @ianhaggart1438
    @ianhaggart1438 Před 11 měsíci +5

    Nice addition.. i can honestly say it will be a handy second loader to have as well.. we have a 50B mk2 with 2 stick digger control, ( posh 😂) the torque converter and floor pedals shuttles which when you press them both down together you get revs with no movement. It came home when i worked at a local dealers FarmServices when i was 17ish and its still with us... now im 44 ish 😅 .. and to be fair we haven't spent a lot on her but she is always ready to go and work when asked.. steering drop shaft was replaced though that made a huge difference.

    Great machine. My mother bought one for her smallholding about 6 months ago. It starts on the button every time, all weathers. Fantastic value for money compared with the costs of hiring a digger
