My grandfather had a 165 Massey with a front loader. Was lots of fun driving it and I really miss those days. Now I live in a big city and hate every minute of it.
It is never ever to late, I come from a small town in the Netherlands now live close to New York City on less than 1 acre and have 2 Massey Ferguson's an old Oliver Crawler and thinking of buying more tractors.
I like to watch your channel because your equipment is more like what I grew up with. An 1100 was our large tractor. Back when there were actual family farms that didn’t have millions of dollars in equipment.
Right on! This is all the still I grew up with, so I can relate. The 1805 was our big tractor, except dads was dualed up with 23.1-34’s. Made it look huge!
had a big farmer in my co that had 4 of those they converted them all to cummins 6 cyl ran them for many yrs cant tell how many ive seen with extra set of belts tied under them
I couldn’t agree more, I always thought these were good looking rigs, and pleasant to operate for the timeframe. The CAT engine takes a lot of guff too but I’ve never had any troubles. Used a ton less fuel than my 7520 JD did.
3160-3208 were cheap and those tractors were small, 150-180 on the drawbar, rode smoother on the duals, 4500 hr machines with no trouble and then things would start happening
@@sheilamclaughlin963 yeah. I work on farm equipment, and it’s hard for me to put any brand solidly on a pedestal. They all have had good and bad products. Some products weren’t used like they should have been, we’re abused and then got a bad reputation. Overall, I think those tractors (with a few small improvements) are pretty solid. Now, John Deere enthusiasts will NEVER admit to a bad product, but I’ve seen quite a few!
Same implement faster through mud with reduced compaction is what I understand these tractors to be all about. Another version of the snoopy 2+2 International. After the 60s power rush, us US farmers seemed to be obsessed with killing our tractors with ballast and loads. I think I read a commentary about Massey 4x4 from England and it didn't do so well there either because the mfwd design had taken off, even though the concept was well received initially.
I agree with that. I think if I use equipment meant for an 1155 or 150 horse tractor that 1805 will last me a long time and not give me too much issues. For what I do a 24-26 ft cultivator will make my day and be easy on that tractor
A cultavator that small has even other benefits beside not pulling so hard on the Ferguson as to being amenable to smaller tractors, (which ya'll don't need with the 1805 as well as the 1800) but might have in the past. These tractors will provide much more value to you than money from selling unless by some miracle you got what they were worth. The one I would sell first is the 1805 which is worn out more than the 1800 but really neither one as they are your babies unless by some miracle you got twice the acreage for no money. Then you would need a massive disc and cultivator. Tilling with no breakdowns is a red letter day JT.
Hey @jt's barn n grill, for your shaft when you say balanced you mean equilibred ? How did you that ? With a good lathe or specific machine like equipment for twisted rotors on trimmer ;) ?
Love that 1805, but it looks kinda funny without the dual wheels. I'm curious: Why did you take them off? BTW, it looks and sounds a lot better with the new exhaust.
The duals will be back on it before too long. I originally had to narrow it up to get in the barn, and it’ll be spending some time inside after the 1155 is done
I used a 3-3-508 female shaft, 3-82-58x male shaft, 2 NON greasable ujoints(they’re stronger), 3-28-97 weld yoke for the trans side. Welded to the 5/8 plate. 3-2-429 flange yoke on the flywheel side. The flywheel plate will have to be drilled and tapped. These are the parts I used, with some machine work. If I do it again, I’ll go with a larger “wing” style setup but it seems to be holding its own with the 1410 series parts now
Boy I bet I enjoyed watching the video as much you was running your big fergi! Very much enjoyed watching JT ! What is the model number on your field cultivator? Can’t find em grind em lol!
I had a blast! That is an old glenco cultivator. I couldn’t tell you what model it is, been painted a few times over the years and there’s no plate left to speak of lol. She’s just shy of 18 ft
putting a clutch pack in our 1966 1100. seems to ""pause", then take off again, not lug down, while pulling in the field. any advice to do anything else or look for anything while its split open. thanks
When you say clutch pack, are you referring to the Multi-power clutch pack, or the main clutch? I assume the MP clutch, if you are getting pauses when pulling I would check 1, the filter in the sump of the trans, 2, if it is a early model it will have a in line MP filter near or above the clutch pedal linkage. From there, I assume the main filter in the nose is changed I’d start checking the pump pressures on both pumps. Finally I’d check the MP valve to be sure it’s not sticking. Hope this helps!
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 I seen the video when u was talk about it and the John deer tracker you han them on there I seen it after I watched that video looks mean as he'll I am benge watching your videos love the videos keep them coming
Make sure your alternator is charging, and test for power at the at the + on the tach when the tractor is running. I’d say if you have those two maybe you have a faulty tach?
Just thought of this possibly too, when it is running you might try adjusting the needle position on the back with the little tool they provide, it might be pegged at 0 unlike mine that went to full send when I first fired it up.
Love the fact that you still believe in the old stuff. Everything old isn't bad.
I come from a family with a long history of owning Massey Ferguson's, with pride mind you, and I love what you are doing here. Thank you

I like the old Masseys. I'm slowly restoring an 1100D. I continue to be impressed with your solution on the shaft problem.
Thanks! I hope this will hold up and be a good solution. So far so good! And if it doesn’t, I’ll just have to perfect it till it is 😉

Watching in late fall looking forward to spring.

If you’re looking to replace your combine, a Massy 750 was, is, a good choice. If you can find one.
Nice shot of the field and beautiful sky.
Well... there's something we have in common, every time I walk away, my wife says the same thing. Good on Ya'!
These were such good looking tractors. Wish Massey would have got them right, would have sold more.

@@jtsbarnngrill6873 too bad the Cummins 8.3 wasn’t around then. Would have been a perfect fit. Everyone was obsessed with V8’s back then.

How many acres do you Farm? Neat seeing the ole tractors working the fields.
I think she was talking about the combine! 😂
Possibly 😆

Right! That was a good day 😉
And wifey even made a comment!!!
😉😆
Hey @jt's barn n grill, for your shaft when you say balanced you mean equilibred ? How did you that ? With a good lathe or specific machine like equipment for twisted rotors on trimmer ;) ?
Just a good lathe. Seems to have been ok, still holding up good 2 years later!
That's the best with these old tractors. You only need some skills and a good lathe for make them working for ever ;)
I have been looking forward to this for a while now, the 1805 looks in really good shape. Would there be any feild work with the 1100 coming up soon.
I am going to plant this field tomorrow or the next day, 1100 is hitched to the planter and ready to go. I may just have to set up the camera 😉
How do you have mud pits in the barn? Put down some limestone after you level it out.
Love that 1805, but it looks kinda funny without the dual wheels. I'm curious: Why did you take them off?
BTW, it looks and sounds a lot better with the new exhaust.
The duals will be back on it before too long. I originally had to narrow it up to get in the barn, and it’ll be spending some time inside after the 1155 is done
Do you have any of the part number information for your driveline parts? I would like to do this to my 1500 before I put it back together. Thanks

Just ask are you going to put duals on that tracker it would look mean as hell
Duals are going back on before spring.
Had to get a couple new tires

bought a tach like your running in your 1805 for my 1130, wired it up and nothing, any suggestions ?
Make sure your alternator is charging, and test for power at the at the + on the tach when the tractor is running. I’d say if you have those two maybe you have a faulty tach?
Just thought of this possibly too, when it is running you might try adjusting the needle position on the back with the little tool they provide, it might be pegged at 0 unlike mine that went to full send when I first fired it up.
get old then what direction you go?
Are we going to put the other set of tires back on?
I don’t think so. I can move everything I need to without the duals on, and it will fit in the narrow areas I need it to go(in the barn)😉

Wifey need her eyes checked 🤣🤣
Maybe… but who am I to correct her 😆
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 solid point! Plus she’s gotta be a keeper to put up with your tractor shenanigans!
