Very interesting! I got some parts for them for my MF 250 a couple of years back - the centre casting at the back got smashed up inside when the hydraulics failed (quite spectacularly) - nearest housing I could find to Belize was at Wengers. Some gears and bits and pieces too. They were very helpful indeed!
When the hydraulics get out of adjustment, they can be spectacular, pushing the lift arm through the top of the differential housing and smashing the top cover. It has just happened to another one of my viewers too. Are you in Belize? Thanks for watching.
@@ClarenceFudWeasel This wasn't a result of misadjustment for once! Whoever had worked on this tractor before I bought it had put a very inadequate bolt in place of the set screw that holds the rod thing (I forget the name) that fits between the piston and the lift arm in place... Bolt snapped when lifting a disc harrow on the move... The rod dropped down, got jammed against something, snapped in half, knocked some big chunks out of the inside of the casting where the pinion gear is supported, smashed up the pinion gear carrier like it was made out of cheese or something, destroyed the PTO gears and knocked half the teeth off the differential ring gear. All because of one little incorrect choice of bolt... It cost some cash and time to put it all back together! It's been working well since then though. And yes, I live in Belize - ordinarily up in the mountains in the west of the country.
@@ClarenceFudWeasel Oh, yes, also needed a new piston and hydraulic cylinder. The lift cover survived, which quite surprised me. Most bits were available here in Belize (there's an excellent tractor parts place not far from home) but the housing and a couple of the gears weren't to be found easily.
That's some set-up, some strange looking tread patterns over there though. Just imagine the customs officers face finding a half-dismantled massey in his suitcase when he returns home
That's already going to be an issue. At some point I'll do a tour of breakers and fill up a container, just to annoy lord Muck, there's a couple in Minnesota and North Dakota that are really worth a visit. At some point a 1130 or 1155 will find their way back and into my collection. And then there's the 1805 I need...
YEs, I spent a lot more time there than I meant to and a lot more cash too. I'd really like an Allis Chalmers 7000 series, who knows, some day I might find one. Thanks for watching.
I'm from Victoria Australia, one very strange thing I have noticed with American tractors is this strange thing where they don't have lights on the front of the tractor but instead they have them on the rear guards, I've never liked the American built Massey Ferguson 100 series either they just look strange, every second one is petrol too which is odd, down here we got the British built 100 series with the red wheels and the lights on the front of them as opposed to the rear guards.
@@mikeduffy7271 I have got some videos from Nowthen a few years ago where I met Squatch253 before he was famous, although he won't remember it. And lots of stills of corn fields and some videos of trains, mostly BNSF, nothing sounds quite like an SD90 working hard, quite a few on the Catskill Scenic Railway, and a lot of rental pickups, mostly Dodge Ram. What little film I have wouldn't interest most of the viewers of this channel so I keep it to myself 😁
I don't know of any ag graveyards here in Canada, but I do know that MF's were built in Brantford, Ontario. It might be an area to investigate on the interweb. Always interesting to see scrapyards hunting for parts.
There's some nice Brantford labels on a couple of the parts that I bought. Brantford was a great place, home to Massey Ferguson and the birthplace of Wayne Gretzky.
Meltham's finest, the genuine article. Oliver actually badged some David Brown 850 and 950 specifically for the US market. So if you find a green one, I think a few have made their way back to England.
Funny you should say that, I'll have some bits of an 1100 with me that will fit on the 1080. I'm seriously thinking of doing a trip to bring back a container of stuff some time. An 1100 or a 1130 would be high on my list. But there's something about an 1155 that I really like too.
And not a "Mucker" in sight!🤦😽🚜 Some nice, or what would have been nice, machines in there. Very sad to see these tractors in this state, but hey ho, that's life.
But the way these people work is that they carefully dismantle them and clean everything up. It helps people like us keep classics alive. I agree it's sad to see them, but there's a positive side to it. Thanks for watching.
The some of the big Masseys, a nice Allis Chalmers too and a couple of others that could easily follow me home if I'm not careful. Not to mention the fire engine next door.
Another great day out with Clarence that’s my idea of a tourist attraction 👍
Thanks for watching, I appreciate your support.
Great stuff Clarence, alot of stuff there, Thank You for bringing us along🙏👌👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
That would be my happy place
It's a good day out, but it's only small, you should try All States in Minnesota. I wish we had places like that over here.

You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
Superb way to spend a day in a tractor graveyard 👍dread to think how heavy your hand luggage is gonna be for goin in the overhead locker 🙄😳😳😂👍
It was a great place and really helpful people too. I can anticipate problems with luggage on the way home. 😁

@@ClarenceFudWeasel just the one container?
@@weegrant1980 It's the space at this end that's the problem unfortunately. Otherwise I'd be like Matt from Diesel Creek.
I'm surprised you didn't foam when that train went past...
You mean the Norfolk and Southern SD70s that passed in the background? I did get some film for my private collection.
🤦🏻♂️ FFS
They sound good.
You can't beat a breakers yard for a ratch about trouble is you get side tracked and forget what you went for...😁

Unbelievable what one box of matches can do!!🤣
Did you notice it was mostly the green and blue ones?

It doesn't look quite right to me either, but I guess it's what we get used to. My 1080 has both.
Thanks for watching.
You made it across the pond. !!
I quite often do. I just don't normally film it.
@@ClarenceFudWeasel no video it didn’t happen. 😀

A 885 David brown?Made in UK or badged?🤔🚜🇬🇧👍

Good day Boy lost of stuff. I thought u were from England! Thanks
I am, but I quite often go to the US to work.
Which side of the road did you drive 🙈🙈
Same as everybody else 😂. I'm used to it.
Bring me back an 1100 please if you've got room 😁

@@ClarenceFudWeasel Absolutely true, but I'll tell you what, there were two or three that I'd love to have sneaked out of there!😻

Most makes of yellow tractors were owned by PennDot or some other state agency.
I guess a lot of them were used to keep the grass cut on the median strips and jobs like that.
I need some parts for ford
🚜🚜😎😎😎👍
How are you
Should look up All States Ag Parts
I've been to their Minnesota branch a couple of times. I'll try to film there next time. How's the hydraulic problems?
@@ClarenceFudWeasel ok ...did you get the pics i sent ......i have new info on my problems
@@keving2371 where did you send them?
Ok
LOL lotta broke ass Deeres and fords, the ol masseys are still out working.
Absolutely true!
You country
One state too far south🗽🗽🚜🚜
Well I'm in NJ at the moment, so I can't complain too much.
@@ClarenceFudWeasel hope you have an opportunity to meet WesPandy in NJ
He's actually not far from where I am. Only about an hour.
