My name is Collin Moore and this is my channel. I am 14 years old and love to work on old iron. I love fabricating and hunting too. My favorite antique brands are Massey Harris, Allis Chalmers/Gleaner and John Deere. One of my favorite projects was my Allis Chalmers all crop 60 combine that I had saved from a woods that it had been setting in for 60+ years!! That was quite the project, and it was well worth it!! Currently it is restored and 100% ready for the fields and parades. I pull it with a Massey Harris 30 that I bought from a neighbor down the road. It has been sitting in a cow pen for 10+ years!! It is restored too. The cool thing is they are both 1948 models. Thank you for watching my videos and SUBSCRIBE!!
Massey Harris 555 back in the field after 20 years! 
This tractor is amazing! It runs amazing, sounds amazing and all of the above! I had a great time filming this video and working on the tractor. A big thank you to everyone watching my videos and don’t forget to give them a thumbs up and subscribe! Thank you

The All Crop Story From JUNK to The Field!
There's no pump in the rear end. The plug on the right side you have out is the fill / level plug. The pto is probably leaking back into the trans. Sad to say, I haven't changed the oil in 40 years, but I haven't had to mess with the pto on either one, and that belt pulley on the 44 has seen thousands of hours (and still does) running the buzzsaw. As far as I know (misplaced my manual for the 55) the belt pulley drive is splash oiled from the trans. The manual for the 55 talks about the increased economy of changing the gear oil every 2 years! Oils are much better now. The best thing is to WORK the tractor for 8 hrs or so every year if possible, at least go for a long drive down the road. I think it holds 12 or 15 gallons. We use 85w-140. But 90w will do. I'm disabled now, however I turned them over this week and drive them at least 2x a year, when my neighbor can help me. They are a real joy to climb over the back of to get on now!
@@Cletrac305 Wow! Thanks for telling me everything about the gearbox on those! So like you said, it’s splash oil, I’m guessing that the input shaft has something on it that throws it up to the PTO gearbox? Unfortunately, I don’t have a manual for mine, but I’m guessing it would show a breakdown of the gearbox and how everything works. I ran 80 W 90 gear lube in mine because I live in Ohio and it does get pretty cold in the winter and I didn’t want to go too thick. Like I said, in the video it doesn’t have a full PTO so unless I find one for it I’ll never have a reason to run the PTO. I’m sure you know so much about these tractors, I’m 14 and this is my first 555 that I’ve ever owned. I own a Massey Harris 30 that my parents bought when I was three years old and we’ve rebuilt the engine, clutch, brakes and more! I’ve done a good bit of research on the 555 but unfortunately there’s not a ton of information on that tractor because there not the popular, I think they only made about 3,700 ish units. Man I’m so sorry to hear that you’re disabled, that would suck!! Like I said I’m 14 years old and if you’ve checked out my TH-cam channel, you’ve probably saw all of the old stuff that I own, the Allis Chalmers All Crop 60 that I rescued from a woods (my favorite one), the Massey Harris 30, the International cultivator that was also saved from a woods, the Ford 8n that I sold and so much more. I don’t know if you’re familiar with combines or not but I just bought a John Deere 3300 combine that fell through a barn floor that it was setting on and unfortunately the barns coming down on it so I’m working on saving it. Now tell me, do you know any other 14 year old who’s into what I’m into?? Thank you for commenting, I love reading all of them and have a good day!!
My farther had a 555. I spent many hours on one.
@@gregwooldridge8864 That’s awesome!!
I have had a 1952 MH 55 Diesel for 40+ years and I love it. Hardest steering tractor I have ever driven especially in plowed ground, needs a 5 speed. (The 555 took care of that issue) Mine has an Inline injection pump. They are 382 ci continintals. That engine in other apps was streched to 404 ci and 90 hp. The intake heater on mine doesn't work. I learned to put a paint stripper gun in the intake, a propane torch just burns out the oxygen. Head gaskets are weak and unobtainium so if you ether it just spray some on a rag and give her a sniff. If it's less than 65deg out you drag mine 3ft and its running. Very tough and very fuel efficient tho. They were the largest tractor in the world on rubber tyres for awhile and held fuel efficiency records. Those 55 rear ends were used in multi engine pulling tractors.
@@Cletrac305 Wow, that is awesome! Thank you for all of the information! That intake heater really helps out a lot! That tractor would’ve never started without that unless we pull started it. Someone robbed the power steering off of mine before I owned it, but it does steer pretty easily. Does your 55 have a four speed transmission?
Yes, the 55 is a straight 4 spd with no live pto. My 44 has a 5 spd, they both worked ground two years ago, the 44 with duals, a wide front, an M&W high compression overbore kit, and a buzzsaw has been in the family since 1958. I retired, moved to 1 1/8th acres and took them both and my MF 1155 with me!😅 The 55s were a "Big iron horse" or prarie tractor mainly made for plowing out west. They never made a row crop 203 (grandaddy of the 55,) 55 or 555. As such, 1,2,3 were close ratio pulling gears and 4th is a huge jump to road speed. Reverse is much slower also. I was pulling my neighbors little 8ft disk in his garden in road gear just above idle with my 55! 😂. The 44 is much better for mowing, pulling wagons, planting, etc because it has a 5 spd and 4th is perfect for that. Not too many 55 or 555 east of the Mississippi. I have seen one other in Indiana. We turned ours up to 76hp on the dyno, but you do not want to get crazy with rpm, turbos, etc. The engines only have 3 main bearings, and for some reason, the 555 especially was known for breaking cranks. There's absolutely zero comparison to a 55 rear end. Look at a manual and you will be floored. All adjustable timken bearings, not a ball bearing in sight. Constant mesh helical gear trans. Helical ring and pinion (not spur) The inner timken axle bearings are located in a saddle OUTSIDE of the bull gears (better leverage) with a main cap over the top and can be changed thru an access cover under the seat without removing the rear wheels. Ball bearings and straight cut sliding spur gears were the bane of IH. (Don't worry, I owned a few and liked them I9, W9, T9s, a 400, etc, but all had bearing issues) I used to get the NTPA pulling magazine back in the 70s and 80s most pro mods with multi blown alchohol engines had 55 rears, and I know a few guys that still run a 500+cubic inch aluminum BBC with a lenco going into the trans and rear end of a 44. They powershift that lenco at half track. I would live to have a JD 80, 820, 830, the cockshutt 40 was tough. Any of the old girls will last 2 lifetimes if you take care of them, but, as my father, an R&D engineer, repair shop owner and tractor puller said, "the Massey's make everything else look like it was chiseled from a rock by a caveman."
@ That’s awesome! Thank you for all of the information! I sure do wish they would’ve thrown a couple more gears in that rear end that would’ve made that tractor a whole lot better. Even if it had a five speed like my Massey Harris 30 that would’ve been a lot better! I didn’t know all that information on the rear end! Thank you for that! Have a good day!!

Logan (the driver) here. I will say that driving this thing is a load of fun. The tires are so massive you gotta be careful when turning not to hit the cultivator. Plenty of power in that big boy, I think we need a plow next!
@loganclark6393 Yes sir we do!! 😂
I was around in 58. I can't attest to dirty fuel. I can say it had a stronger odor.
@@brycewiborg8095 I didn’t really mean dirty, but it’s not necessarily injection pump ready. It did have a brown color and a pretty good odor. Our diesel fuel nowadays are probably better but still obviously not injection pump ready without being filtered.

@@zacharylindsay2178 What do you have?? 😂
I’m buying guy d17 tractor allis charmers with allis charmers pull type combine mode 40
@@zacharylindsay2178 Oh wow!! Love the model 40.
N series tractors were short frame tractors that did not transfer weight to the rear efficiently. Add 200 pounds to the front and water tires. Drop to first gear and it will pull it,ford went to adding sherman auxillary transmissions to the 8n to get better gear ratio mix because the standard three speed ratios were to wide.
@@PerrySciara Thanks for the info!! Yes I was in first gear and I noticed that the tractor did not have enough weight to give the back tires a big foot print to get some real traction. Probably why a lot of those tractors had fluid in the rear tires. Great little tractors though.
@CollinMoore2010 about 18 - 20 psi in the rear tires is plenty, if you add weight to the front build a rack that extends about 16 inches out in front. Gives a lot better weight transfer.
@@PerrySciara Thank you for your advice!! I should have dropped the back tire pressure and added some weight to the front, that would have made a huge difference.
lol wheat doesn’t come off until mid June you got eight months to switch it

@@Yutyutbro2 Really?
Yes I am familiar with many. But never heard of Massey Harris. Neat tractor dude.
@@Yutyutbro2 Ok. Sooooo,, Harry Ferguson designed the hydraulic 3 point lift for tractors. He, himself didn't have the means to put it into production. David Brown in England built the 1st tractor with the Ferguson system on the back. The Ferguson Black tractor. The Ferguson Brown tractor was then mass produced. Brown and Ferguson then fell out, but Brown stole his idea. Ferguson then turned to Henry Ford to produce a tractor incorporating the Hydraulic lift. The Ford 2N, 8N and 9N being the tractors produced. Same thing happened again, Ford And Ferguson fell out. Ferguson then built his own Factory in Banner Lane, Coventry UK. As time passed Ferguson and Massey Harris then amalgamated to form what we now know as Massey Ferguson. Some of the early transition tractors and more so harvesters bore the mame Massey Harris Ferguson but the Harris name was soon dropped.

Seven dollars was a lot of money in 1943. In 1960. My day was a highly skilled machinist and shop forman in an aircraft parts manufacturing plant. His salary was $69 take home per week. In 1943, it would have been $45 per week. Would you spend a full days wage for a heated seat?
@@theoldman8877 You know that’s a good question. I think it would depend on how cold of weather you would have around you and how much time you spend on the tractor. Those guys back then were tough and determined to farm so maybe the average farmer would rather just suffer through it and save some money. Maybe the larger farmers would buy it if they had the money and need for it. Probably why they are so rare.
Never thought about those steel pans having that option, not all but most tractors back then were open station, so freezing in that seat was never desirable…I’m going to be looking into this…
