Nice project. The problem with painting is where do stop and to what standard do go too?
Either do a full refurbish to a good standard or leave it. Personally, l would clean it, sort it mechanically and get the cab right and run it as an old but gold tractor.
Great video. Now the paint question. You bought the tractor for a reminder of a time your father had one on the farm that was a new one at that so as that tractor itself has no sentimental value to you tick the box and paint it and it will closely resemble your dad's one as possible. If it was that actual tractor I wouldnt paint it at all. I miss our 165. So I bought a 135.😁 It's getting painted.. Stay safe Dan 🏴
My grand father bought a 178 in 1968 brand new, we still use it. If it's not red leave it in the shed.
CF Dan - excellent project tractor, looking forward to seeing progress. Paint - wash and leave that is 50 years of hard earned patina.
They really are a great tractor, enjoy!
Well done, 165 was the best tractor ever made, an iconic tractor which as of now all 1/32 model manufacturers have ignored? I learnt to drive a 165 @ 11yrs old and then became an apprentice @ 16 on them. Love yours ( love them all ) Give her a paint and restore her to its former glory. Long live M.F.
Here here, agree completely
Love this channel! She looks tidy! 135 we had and never let us down. Great finding out about other classic Massey. Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴
Hi Dan, you should try the export guys. They cut the cabs and cladding off. I got a good cladding and doors for my 165 which was similar to yours. Good luck with the refurbishment.
Stumbled across this. In my youth, I spent many many hours in a 165 with that cab and all the features you wanted, in the 70's. It was new to the farm where I worked (friends of my Mum who grew up with the Crabtree's that farmed it) most weekends and school holidays. They also had an MF1200 in the late 70's and got a second one a couple of years later. There was a 175 and a 135, an old 35 and a little grey Fergie that was the first thing I ever drove but drove all the tractors at one time or another. Happy days!
Quality Tractor Parts has a Flexi Cab for 165
Our MF 165 is identical apart from ours has a roll bar think the world of here good luck with the restoration 👍
The Massey 165 was the tractor I learned to drive on..it was fitted with a Duncan cab..👍🚜
Nice tractor! Look forward to following progress on its servicing. Decide on paint after you have steam cleaned it.
Nice tractor would be nice to see it painted.
Nice to see a bit of fresh paint Dan
Interesting project there Dan, always had a soft spot for a 168, I would just keep it original myself. 🙂👍
I would leave it as it is,just a good clean up should suffice.
Another interesting video Dan, if it was mine I’d leave it in her original shade of red. It will probably brighten up a lot wit a good wash. 👌👍
I will be very keen to watch this done as i have been asked to do up a 165 just like yours Dan
Leave as it its a beautiful thing.
Another great video Dan thanks for sharing,I think the 165 should have a respray rather then left in its work clothes.And how do you accidentally buy another tractor,lol keep the videos coming
Great video as always i learnt how to drive on a 165 dan
Good video as always Dan - leave it as original within reason
Nice looking machine, has loads of life left it it yet.
Hi Dan I think you should restore it to what your dad's 165 was great video looking forward to seeing more
Great video Dan and a lovely collection of the MF range . I’ve recently bought a 1963 mf165 as a lockdown project. When the Duncan cab came off there was some corrosion around the bonnet . So she is getting a paint whether she likes it or not !
Another great video Dan. I think this will need paint at the new cab cladding will clash with the old original look. It deserves it! You want to remember your previous new MF165.
All depends on how rough it is when washed… sometimes look better as is…. But if new cladding etc looks daft against old paint, go to the trouble of a re-spray… it’ll never look wrong and I’m sure it would ba a satisfying job 🚜👍🏻👍🏻
Personally I would paint it
The 165 came in two engine versions,yours seems to have the exhaust pipe to the right and therefore the slightly bigger engine 4.212 mine has pipe to the left so Perkins 4.203.Thank you.
Mine is the 212, the earlier one is the 203
Ok,have corrected that,apparently year then has nothing to do with Multi P. or not as mine is equipped with that,strong tractor,have used my Gyro frontloader a lot and untill last year wasn t able to put doors on,but widened the Secura house 200 mm,so could get frame on other side of loader,just made new roof of one of those thin metalplates like you have on your barn,but just one with lower waves and bended a 15 mm gutter each side plus new windows cut in 4 mm plastic.Thank you.
Looks like a solid tractor, I think I'd leave it as is with 50 years' experience, in a perfect world a used canvas would turn up but being realistic you'd probably have to replace the canvas at some point due to UV damage so it'll look fine. There used to be a company in Lambourn that made cab parts but whether they do flexi cab parts I don't know. Good video again Dan.
Great new Tractor you have there. If mine I'd leave paint work as is, the new cladding will soon fade. Re loader we have one that goes on our old 135 but it's resting in the field but if I remember I'll take some pictures of the ends for you and message it to your Instagram page. Sam
Good luck with the tractor Dan be nice in orginal condition . Can you do a video on your 135 sometime
Lovely tractor keep it original
Great video Dan keep it and a very good tractor 🚜
I like the original look but I think this one might need a lick of paint.
I think power steering, helps. When you have a loader.
They lovely tractors the 165. I spent a lot of time on a 185 too. Great on the bailer that was.
It's definitely an advantage when a loader is fitted.
@@CowfarmerDan yes. I got a David Brown 880 with a loader. No power steering. Mucking out a shed can be quite a workout.
Keep it original definitely. Great vid.
It look like new of you paint the 165
Personally I would leave the paint work alone. Looking forward to seeing you progress with it.
188 next to complete the set
Dan we have a 188 with a 40 loader. Didn't know what the loader was do now. I can take a picture of the pins. Swap it for a picture of the tac/rev cable attachment on your 6354. Keep meaning too ask. I have a feeling the loader legs are about but not 100% I'll ask 👍edit (I'm now looking at both) I'll email
I would leave it as it is..
Wire wool it, aggressive compound then boiled linseed oil it and it will be spot on for the period look
Just clean it Dan. Work on all the other problems. Keep your vintage Thursday on the go
Leave it as it is
Restore it to what it would have looked like when your dad owned one
If you have got to put new cladding on the cab you must paint it .because it won't look right . At all.
Leave it as is👍
i would say tidy it up a bit but no paint. old tractors look wrong painted up!
Unless she painted to perfect an every thing done to the last she better not painted
Hi dan prefer original look try wire wool and wd 40 plenty of elbow grease😀
did over 8000 hrs on a mf 165 .........missed it when i sold it .........but would not like to be farming with one today ........once you get used to a fiat m100 there is no going back ..............!
Leave it as it is dan in her original gear, will look good when you clean it up, are you still showing us a vintage combine too?
Hopefully the combine will still put in an appearance
nice MF 165. I have an MF 165 X with 4 gears. With a clutch that does not work.
Leave it as it us
I have a 71 165 with the wet brakes and the 212 engine has your one the 203 or the 212 engine
212
Paint paint paint, tractor deserves it
Hi Dan give it a good steam off maybe go over with an oily rag or red diesel in the rag be great to see some more videos on it
i would give it a good wash and decide on your plans after that ive got several vintage and classics like yourself some restored and some left original if you can i would leave original i certainly wouldnt rush into painting it im glad you are keeping the cab to many from the 1970s that would have had them new have had them removed
Leave paint as is.
6-24-21 4:11 PM USA Dan, do you have a Massey Ferguson dealer near your farm ? I was employed by MF Inc, for 30 years here in the USA market. Grew up on grain-cattle farm in the state of Ohio. Our dealer in the 40-50's was Massey Harris about 10 miles away.
Nearest dealer is about 20 miles away.
@@CowfarmerDan OK that is not too far away for parts and service :-)
Why a multipower, I've drove a 165 and a 135 over the years but never a multipower,, were they better,?
Any1 I ever drove years ago multipower was faster but I thought more troublesome
@@darraghmcdonagh7457
I've done a bit of research on them and they sound way ahead, I'd say the biggest problem was that lads didn't know how to use them.
@@kevinmaughan4290 ha ha maybe so
I wouldn't say they're any better, just different.
The green muck will wash off, leave her in her work clothes. Ours was a 1970 model and never lets us down. It has a Lambourne cab and I think she was exported to Africa when we part exed her.
more interesting to me when there original Dan if painted it will just look like every other restored 165
Nice tractor Dan 👍 when a tractor is as straight as the 165 is it would be such a shame to repaint it 🙄☹️ every bump an scratch is a piece of its history 🙂 think the decidin factor gonna be how it looks with new cab cladding 🤔 lookin forward to seein more of it 👍👍
like to see in her working clothes , would you ever get a 590
Don't really need any more tractors!
Love the 165 it should not be painted. Keep it original it will look better with the others.
Don't paint it. 😂
