    MF175. A piece of history that almost everyone had because it was affordable compared to the cost of an equivalent tractor today. Many thanks for bringing it back to life.

    Yes, it's in a bad way, but it's bought and paid for.
    Another could be as bad, so better to put the money into this one and get it sorted.
    It is a 175 after all.
    Good luck, we'll all be following.

    makes me feel better about my 175. I have the old multipower valve sprayed oil on the clutches problem on both my 135 and 175. My deere 1050 keeps throwing repairs at me before I can find time to split either of the masseys. Just had one of the wet sleeve O rings disintegrate on the yanmar engine and had to tear it down even though it was perfect with only 2000 hours. Now it's even more perfect lol.

    Silver lining of the 175 is you would never have bought the 1080 if you didn't need a set of wheels. But that purchase looks like it's turning into a gem.👍

    • @ClarenceFudWeasel
      @ClarenceFudWeasel  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That's true, but now I have the correct wheels for the 175 I bought earlier this year, I have to finish it otherwise I'll have spare wheels.

    My advice would be to pause and give it a long hard think-through. I’ve experienced friends who bought cars to restore only to find that they’re far worse than expected. On more than one occasion, they went looking for a parts vehicle and ended up building the parts car with contributions from the original subject. A fishing net is a bunch of holes tied together with string. Your tractor is a bunch of pieces tied together with half-assed welds. If you build it and try to use it, it might one day collapse like a house of cards. I’m not trying to be mean, just saying that there have to be better starting points out there. I wish you all the best with whatever path you head down. Always interesting videos. 🤠🚜👍🤠❗️

    So, let me get this straight.... You bought a festering dung pile, and inside of that, you found a festering dung pile?!! And now, you're going to build a tractor where the festering dung pile has been standing?
    That tractor is either, going to love you for saving its life, or, it's going to hate your guts and fight you every step of the way! - We had that exact same scenario with a; a David Brown Cropmaster which was an absolute pig to resurrect and fought back at every turn of the screw, and b; the most unlikely restoration of a David Brown 30D tractor that had been kept as a parts machine, and had been robbed of almost every useable part, but was so keen to run again that it cooperated with us every step of the way and was a far easier job than the tractor which was complete and supposedly easily restorable.
    Which will it be? A grunting squealing pig? Or a tame and purring kitten? - - Place your bets!
    I'm guessing at grunting squealing pig.......

      I'm going for the grunting squealing pig with a prolapsed rectum that's just sat in a pool of Carolina Reaper sauce option.
      Thanks for watching.

    The man that taught me to weld 40+ years ago said the two most important things needed to be a good welder are-"Knowing HOW to weld and knowing WHEN to weld". With that in mind, was the previous owner a mentally deficient Chimpanzee??

      I agree completely. The only thing I would add to that is knowing what can be welded to what. I also think that our chimpanzee friend was given a Rainbow "I want to be a welder" electrode starter kit containing a bronze rod, a cast rod, a nickel rod, a gouge, a 6106 and a few others to get him going. I think he liked the easy strike that the gouging rods gave him so much that he bought a whole box and continued to perfect his technique with them.

      @@ClarenceFudWeasel I suspect you are right, he did at least pick the best rod for burning through paint, rust and grease 🤣🤣

      Sure is🤣. Makes you wonder what the rest of the previous owners farm was like!

    You really should put the camera on a tripod and leave it there. Hand-held camera shots are unsatisfactory for two reasons: 1. the video is unsteady and out of focus; 2. you need both hands free to do the work.

    Somebody needs to find the previous owner and confiscate his welder
