- So we take a serious look at the Massey Ferguson 175 and see just what did we decide ? You get to have a 'Fly on the wall' view of us trying to make a 'sensible' choice...

• MANOR FARMS. MIRRORLES...
I actually really appreciate the complete transparency on this one. One of my biggest pet peeves of all the rebuilds on youtube is nobody ever actually gets into the nitty gritty of the cost. It's always just a video of throwing parts at something till its done, then they give a ballpark number at the end that is most likely way lower than they actually sunk into it. I will definitely be watching this one till the end.
Agree completely Lord Muck n The Fud you get whats on the tin no bull jobbies
A tractor I think would be fun for you to have a look at would be a Field Marshall, shotgun shell start! (But you have to try starting it by hand, saltpetre is allowed!)
ya that would be neat too
My opinion from the states is skip the rare birds. I found your channel on Ford 3000s and what I would call the mundane reality if enjoying these bits of yard art. I cant buy a field marshall sure I'd love to run a hot bulb diesel in a neutral idle. But. . Its not a tractor that exists in the world like ford Ferguson Massey's white brown etc.
It would be good to see something on a Track Marshall 90 or similar.
Evening mucker pleased to here the 175 is gonna be restored look forward to seeing it. It would be nice to see you have look round a track marshall 155 haven't seen one for a few years.
I'm so pleased you're keeping this old tractor alive please keep me and everybody else updated
Like to see you look around a International 1455 please Mucker and since I’ve had bariatric surgery I can only do a kids portion of chips 🤣
Like a true tractor guy, time never enters the equation. Good on y'all for fixing her up. I'll be intrigued with the progress. Honestly, I would have parted it out, with rarity comes scarce and exponentially pricey parts. But I heartily understand "I've always wanted one". To quote an ambitious US citizen "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!".
Thanks Muck, best regards from Indiana, USA.
Any modern classics like 40 series Fords, TMs, 10 series Deere’s, or a county or roadless of some kind would be very interesting to see. Great video mucker👍
Glad to see ur going ahead with it. Be really interested to see the project going through and the cost of doing it
really pleased your going to give the 175 a chance, these sort of projects you do cause you want to and to a point the money isn't a factor as such. the amount of stone wall faces i get when people ask how much i spent on my diamond t and i tell them about 40K when i stopped bothering to keep a count lol but i did it because i wanted to and it will be a truck for life. hard to make money out of restoring vehicles to then sell on if not impossible in most cases any way i think.
What about having a look round some of the leyland/Marshall tractors
I always had a soft spot for a big same, like a hercules or a buffalo, seeing more of the brand would be good
There's no bird's nest, but I think it might have been an aquarium. LOL.
Tadpoles in yer toolbox,🤣
I have always liked 'process', i.e. know where you start and set out the steps to get you where you are going. Vitally importantly, identify the break points that will stop you achieving your end point. Your discussion clearly set that out, with good, best estimate ballpark figures. I agree, on over estimating costs and times on the way in so, you end up with pleasant, not terrible exit surprises is the way to go.
A big old Zetor, i better go order some onion rings now 🍻
Glad to hear your restoring the 175.. Recently viewed a 1930s hanomag 4 cylinder diesel. Fine tractor. Even had a sprung front axle. One of my favourite tractors would be a mf 699. Spent many a happy hour on one.
I'd love to see a McCormick 523 with an Agriomatic gearbox. Way ahead of it's time.
Great suggestion. I've always wondered how those Agriomatic transmissions worked
trigger's broom that was a cracking sketch really made me laugh.
Respect the decision to re build. Did not realise a 175 was less common.
Most of them ended up in the middle east
Great vid as usual I would love to see you have a look at a massey Ferguson 2645 drove one back in 1986,87 haven’t really seen one since
That 148 engine sure perks my interest, It would make for a strong MF175. Rebuilding the 175 you will know what you have when your done. All the small bits will add up, but you know that. Should be a good tractor when your done.
If you ever get a chance to get a look at a 4wd Ford 7810, I'd be over the moon. I've no idea why, but it's my favourite tractor ever. Keep up the excellent content mucker, looking forwards to what you've got coming up!
Case IH 1056 or 885 XL
would be good, great vid and stay safe and thanks for all you do.👍👍👍🚜
Great decision on the 175, looking forward to seeing the progress.
Tractors to go and see, I've always had a soft spot for the Fiat 1580 dt and 18 80.
Just a great looking tractor.
Keep up the good work.
An old Zetor Crystal, just to see how far ahead of the day they where !
With all the water in the engine, no need to worry about overheating !⛲💦🚿🚽🚣🚰🐎♨
The first dozer I ran was a International TD14, love to reminisce with a walk around.
Love that Matador engine, looking forward to seeing more of that :D
Another good video, interesting through out, when the task is done to hopefully be in pocket is a positive. Hope its not to old a 1953 Nuffield, first tractor I had dealing with great memories come back
Good to see you're going to do the 175 , very rewarding to bring something back from being scrapped. When you have that engineering empathy , money isn't the reason, it's just about saving what once was a fairly decent tractor. All the best to you mulord.
i had never thought about the 175 being rare,but yes your right thinking about it , we ran 165’s ,and others ran 185’s around us, and then they went 168’s. and 188’s , i cant recall seeing any 175’s around and in those days it was all mf and fords around where we farmed so i would have seen them ,certainly don’t recall seeing any at the mf dealer we used in downham market where we bought all our mf’s from , nice to see all the thought process in the final decisions as well ,cheers guys . another old girl saved .
Great bit of brainstorming Mucka , with the old Fudweasel . Would you look at the County tractors . I will ask George for mushy peas .🍽️🍏
I paid £1900 for a rough MF35, threw £2500 at it to rebuild the engine, front axle and linkage.
Still looks rough but at least I can another ten years of work out of it now!
I don't think I'd get my money back if I sold it tomorrow!
Good luck withe the 175!🤞
Liken the honesty. My first memory of a tractor was a 175 with a cab with sliding door. Sold in the 80’s and replaced with a 168 and the 168 is still going.
The Massey 178 was the first model to use the A4.248 engine followed by the 185 and 188. You need PAVT wheels for the rear, they defined a 175 back in the day.
Glad your going to restore this, it will be worth the time and effort. Back in the mid 90s I got to drive a Marshall 100 was a great tractor. If you could find one of those would be great
I would love to see you have a look at a international 1255 or 1455
The old Davy Brown tug my uncle had one years ago and as kids we thought it was a race car. LOL
Back about half a lifetime ago, my dad had a 1928 John Deere "B" model. Have you seen one of those on your side of the pond? With a 2 cylinder engine, it wasn't the fastest thing around, but it would out pull most similar sized tractors in the late '60's. I haven't seen one around these parts in years now. Loved the breakdown of costs. I would have guessed it would have cost quite a bit more.
I know someone who had a tricycle B from new. I will enquire if he still has it.
Will be nice to see it all done, we had 5 188 in the 1970s lovely tractor, stay safe mate
Another great video. Good seeing all the true costing of stuff, makes folks like me who are thinking about getting a project think about all the costs involved with these old girls. Would love to see a video on an old zetor, one of the first tractors I ever drove
I agree with this fellow totally.makes scenes to give a run down of costs involved before deciding to get stuck in.good video and like to see a super major or old zetor reviewed👍
Thanks for the video . Glad you are doing the 175, I was thinking there can't be many about after the export and years of abuse. I was at 6 - 7 K on a bad day to do that with parts, tires and paint. I guess you guys have a trade account with somebody like Bepco, that really helps keep costs sensible if you are well connected like that.
In Canada it's hard to get those accounts even with a repair business like mine ,The other repair shops can keep me out because the suppliers ask them when I apply for an account if they mind "can you say protectionist racket". To be honest I don't know a tractor I'd like to see I've seen most of them over the years. Now a digger I'd say a real nice last year proper grey cab 3cx Sitemaster before the plastic ones came out.
After George buying that Belarus, I'd bet he'd buy us the chip order to, just off to add mine L.O.L Take care Mucker & Fud weasel
As for tractor to look at would love to see an old Nuffield m4 first tractor I ever drove when I was about 7 lol
When I first saw the 175, I thought you should keep the exhaust and throw away the rest but I didn't realise that they were rare. Best of luck with the rebuild, you'll need it. As for what tractor I would like to see around, a Muir Hill, any model.
1056.ih..2wd... beautiful soundtrack listening to the engine pull.. led cord and ploughed with one years ago one summer... it was a dream!!👍🏻
How about a closer look at something articulated- don't see many of those tractors in blighty. Looking forward to seeing the progress on the 175 👍🏻
The 175 will turn out great, plenty of work but in the end a lovely rare tractor. Would love to see a Valtra N series on the channel after lockdown.
International TD9 petrol diesel crawler. (I know where there are a couple if you are interested. They are in North Essex). Looking forward to seeing the 175 brought back from the brink.
You asked what tractor to look at and I thought a Zetor crystal. Then a scroll down and a few others say the same. Have a look how much room you have in the cab to grow tomato's! cheers Jim in NZ
Cracking video Podge! I like the sitting, chatting, informing us as you go. Your vids always put a smile on my face. I’m just about to place my order with George 😄 🐟 🍟 👌
Think is a good way to go in small snippets as we have restored adexta&major luckily not as bad engine wise and you are spot on the way you are looking at costing
Im glad Your restoring her. This being a Rare Tractor makes it a Done Deal too restore her. Great Video Thank You for sharing....
I think you made the right choice keeping the tractor. I would like to see you look at a farmall 656 as I just aquired one a few months back. Love your videos!
I would like to see the 1184-40 county we had one here that went on fire I was only young so never got to look at it. Good walk around and the history and why it was made etc and a look at the mechanical side.
Good luck on the 175 looking forward to seeing it running
I would love to see a Fendt 824 Favorit.
What about a close look at a county 754 or a nuffield 460 made me hungry now better order cod and chips keep up the good work 😊😊👍
Wish I could remember what Zetor my Dad had on the farm, but that would be good....I fancy some fish 'n' chips now.....
The 236 would be nice for collector value but a grand in the pocket ain't nothing to kick rocks at nice video
Great vid mucker keep them coming. How about a look round a Muir hill? I’m getting peckish so large cod and chips it is. George is so generous.
Bottom line, it's an education!! As the Carol King song says, "sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, most times you choose between the two". lol. I'll say a prayer for the 175 and move on lol. Great video, thank you!
Another great video mucka I'd love you to go and have a look at an old fiat 110-90 I've always loved the way they sound.
A field Marshal or Lanz Bulldog would be great for you to have a look at or maybe a Fowler.
My Dads farm has both of them, I am sure a visit would be possible.
Really enjoyed this one. Look forward to seeing what’s next. I’d like to see one of those old Zetors with the big cabs. Can never remember the model number but I know Dad used to drive one 👍🏻
Ohh a renault 155_54 would be nice. Glad the 175 is being done. I've driven a 35, 135,165 &168 but never even seen a 175.
Hi Mucker really glad you and the weasel are going to be doing the 175 up, it’s a shame she’s in a right state. We had one on the farm for going in the chittin green house. Fenland Rob
Wouldn’t mind seeing a video on a David brown 1490 hydra shift or a David brown 1690
Hi Lord Muck Nice one The fud weasel will be busy and if you can find one how about looking at a Fowler giro tiller have a good weekend Thanks
I know I said to throw in the towel with the 175 but I'm glad you're going to give it a second chance. I didn't realise how few and far between these have become.
I know it's going off at a tangent but have a look at an odd diesel powered pulling tractor.
Deutz Fahr D7807 C. No other reason than happy memories and the smell of summer. Dust, diesel, heat and barley to the uninitiated.
Forgot, how much is George charging for delivery? 😁
I recon the birds nest floated away when it was under water 😂
Nice one mukka 👌🏻
It's probably a common tractor in the UK, a Massey Ferguson 35 with the 3 cylinder Perkins, that's one of my favourite tractors I hope to own one day, all the best Lord Muck from Qld Australia 🇦🇺 👍
I know that's a year ago but just watching this over a cuppa. I thought I'd seen the last of that mouthful of tea until you said 'probably' at 1.29. Thanks mucker.
I would love to see a David brown 1690 or 1690T
Glad to see u are going to rebuild the 175 tractor the good old grey fergie (any) first one I drove
I've always wanted to see a Lamborghini tractor (for those who don't know, yes, Lamborghini was making tractors before he made cars) or perhaps a Deutz. Looking forward to the 175's progress! 👍
My grandads mate used to have a Lambo, never trust the wiring tho it burst into flames just ticking over in the yard 😂
Porsche also made tractors, Laverda made combines and motorbikes. Combines were crap thought!
Well done Mucka, I was really worried that it was going to be broken for parts, the Fudweasel is the best person to do the engine on that, be better with a 236, maybe one day XD, I'd love a 168 one day, drove one over the summer for a friend of mine, shame they're all so bloody dear! I'd love you to have a look round a 300 series MF or maybe a IH 885 or similar
A bit random but I used to pass every week a MF 175 @ at roundabout at queens ferry, Deeside back in 1996, with a sandwich board trailer advert hooked to it. Full cast wheels all-round it looked the biss from 60 yards. Always wanted to call in & try & buy it. But with just getting a house for first time, no chance, 24 yrs on got a man cave & 3 tractors. one is a blackhole for money & still not finished. This is the right way to go mucka break it down in to cost, how can you give a cost if your sponsored. watch them parts as well, wheat & chaff. Good vid as always informative no bull.
I can think of several trucks and tractors I passed for years in various locations and now they are all but a distant memory.
I'd love to see an old Magnum 7100 series, been a favorite of mine since I was about 4!
I liked hearing you guys go through your process. It's like you are real guys or something.
Keep a record of the hours so you can show just how much time a project like this takes. Then multiply that by a realistic hourly rate, people need to know what it really cost and why.
Hours are one thing, hourly rate is another. I know plenty of 'restorers' that think they're worth £60 an hour but aren't worth a wank and a Cuppa-Soup.
@@LordMuck I agree, I have had the misfortune of rectifying some so called professional work over the years. I would think £40 an hour isn't to far out for the purpose of this project.
To be honest, neither the Fudweasel or myself would drink tea for £40 an hour...
It's a fair price though to use as a benchmark.
The Fordson standard N to me it is a tractor icon and a war time hero 🚜👍🍻
Yes indeed. Or a Ferguson Brown - first production tractor with 3 point hitch
Lord Muck :) excellent video to also find be my 1 tractor is 1963 McCormick International B414 tractor Desiel motor 40 hp with 1501 loader plus Trip bucket even Fork for a triangle of 6 square bales worth with hay or straw bales types, 2 tractor be a 1950 Cockshutt 40 43 to 53 hp gas motor of Orange type called Buata 6 cylinder 235 Cubic Inches with updraft 1 barrel Zenith carb plus 6 volt positive ground battery type , crank start too plus have blue motor Slant 6 Chrysler 225 electric start or crank to start up, 3 you can find if can David Brown any model # , Massey Harris #44 , Farmall A to J , John Deere A to 710 and any great classic ones!
Would love to see a maasey harris general purpose...loving the channel..
For me in the US this is the Mitchell and Webb of tractors. Wonder if that's how it translates in country? Low speed towards a crash with moments of clarity and some conflict resolution but paired with the dread that you expect everytime you put a wrench on metal.
Right on, Good to see others who can't say no to another project even when you're still working on to meny projects all ready. 👍
Be good to see a Series 2 Field Marshall, you can't beat the sight and sound of them at ticking over.
We haven't got too much on currently so it's not an issue
Lioness, it is based on a fw, I worked on one about 10 years ago in Oxfordshire and a fella brought it in Lincolnshire fantastic bit of kit alison gearbox, just really big fun to drive.
I love watching your videos because you always do real world work so many channels do set up or staged videos while entertaining give people false information or impressions of what is really involved when doing projects I wish I could spend a couple months working with you on some of these projects the knowledge gained would be invaluable
A tractor that would be very interesting to have a look around if you can find one is a Dutra D4K. Was always intrigued with them but no nothing about them
Any one of these not so common tractors would be interesting - MF 9240, Fiat Versatile articulated, Deutz Fahr Intrac, MB Trac.
International T20 crawler. My dad resurrected one when I was a child, but unfortunately it got scrapped. So would be great to see one in action
Looking forward to seeing the progress on the 175. How about looking at a county tractor
Glad to see the 175 will be restored, where my late father worked they had two on 1965 C plates, both with Winsam cabs, one with Multi Power and one without. I didn't know that they were rare now? Another vote for a Muir Hill from me.
I think an old Fiat 1380 dt
We had one on the farm years ago very slow on the road but there was nothing going to stop that old girl and I love my fords but I’ve got to admit the old fiat would pull the TW backwards all day long
He brought up a lot of good points ,How Bad do you want it, What does one sell for complete done
I would like to see you looking around a Lanz Bulldog and explaining how a hot bulb engine starts and runs keep the vids coming it`s aiways good to learn how stuff works
John Conathey in Kells in Ireland 🇮🇪 has S/H 336 engine's in stock
So do I
I would like to see a Big Bud. I don't know what model or the manufacturer. But I always like them.
I’m kinda curious if any are on that side of the pond, but they were a small production run.
As far as I'm aware there has never been a Big Bud over here.
Nice project, not many around, they make good prices when done. And you will have fun doing it Happy days .
