I’ve been changing oil in stuff for years and never thought of creating an “oil change” tote 🤦♂️ That’s a great idea and I’m definitely gonna do that 👍
I remember the days when you just dumped it out on the ground somewhere.
Good place was dirt roads or driveways to keep them packed down.
@@dgeorge852 My Grandfather did that--saved his old oil in a 55 gal. drum-mounted it on the back of the old tractor--with a pipe running cross ways--with holes drilled in it-once you started moving---pull a string behind you that opened a valve--and go down the road slowly. Pack tight as real asphalt. Didn't throw anything away on his place.
So very pleased you showed the screw ups...as a retired Ag teacher I can tell you 'the screw ups are the most important part of learning to do it right' Thanks again.
I want to thank you for making this video. I'm not mechanically inclined and need to service a 471 that I'm borrowing from a old friend for feeding my livestock this winter. It gelled up on me (and I did treat the fuel..but see there is water in the settling bowl. I'm a herdsman..so learning to take care of my "own" tractor is a new venture for me after having guys that serviced all equipment back when I was growing up and working for other farmers.
Nicely done. Just remember if you are going to fill the oil filter with oil before installing, fill the smaller holes. The big hole hoes directly into the engine. So it filters into the small holes, threw the filter element and back threw the engine to lube it. So if there is any contaminants in the new oil etc.. it will get run threw the filter 1st.
Woooooo 😁👍 love watching and doing basic maintenance, so therapeutic
You are the type of person I search for when I'm looking to buy a used piece of equipment. Because you are so fanatical about maintenance as I am too.👍🏻👍🏻
Good video. That’s a fine Massey. I have a 1998 model 231. It’s an excellent tractor. It takes the same filters as your 240.
I broke a glass bowl years ago while grading a driveway. A tire threw up a rock and busted it.
If you never wanna see corrosion again on anything with battery terminals, apply a coat of silver Never Seize/anti seize lubricant on them. I been doing this for years. A mechanic told me about it years ago.
After my experience slinging parts for NAPA and AAP for the last 15 years, I have a huge appreciation for the durability of old tractors. Thank you for this video.
Just bought a Massey 245. This video is extremely helpful for someone like me who hasn’t serviced a tractor before. Thanks!
Thanks for showing mess ups, helps me to feel normal. Been doing my own maintenance for years but still occasionally mess stuff up. Thanks for the videos too.
sharing your mistakes is the best, honest, helpful, educational and funny thing I have watched this week. I did laugh on the first drop but I didn't laugh on the second break because I realized how you are really keeping your cool here. Kudos, WOOOOOO!!
Other then the glass bowl issues you had it easy on that fuel filter. No fuel in the arm pit or anything. Don't forget eye protection next time. Fuel and glass in your eyes doesn't feel to good. Great video as usual!!!
it's somewhat comforting to know that unfortunate mishaps sometimes happen to someone else other than myself.... and kudos for handling it with good humor and the resolve to get it done right. Don't sweat the small stuff, and, ultimately, it's all small stuff. If I could only walk the walk.....
Double OUCH! That "pick" tool you used is the best to get O-rings out with. Does not damage the sides. Great video. 🚜-Woooooo!!!
As an extra reminder, I take a Sharpie and write the change date on the filters. You see the date every time you use the tractor. Good video.
I bought an old 1972 Massey Ferguson 245 and I totally restored it every bolt, washer, nut, new wiring, I had the tractor in a million pieces but boy is she strong and looking good now...
Thanks for showing your “fails”. For us “need to know why and not just how” folks like me it makes for better retention/learning.
I am so glad to see someone else has my kind of luck with breaking replacement parts. Way to roll with it.
Very instructive. Thank you for not hiding your mistakes to help others avoid them. That is probably the part that I most liked. Greetings from Spain.
Great video. I will definitely keep your tips in mind when I service my tractor. My Grandpa always said there is no harder job than a farmer. You have to be able to do it all. I had to do some cold iron work on our hay baler so we could finish before the rain.
I really enjoy your channel. I got that Massey 30 with the 4 cylinder 203 Perkins running today. I wished we lived closer. I’d drive it over. Good stuff.
Note to self..... clean your items including hands BEFORE removing stubborn seals. Nice tutorial Josh, keep up the great work! Love them 'ol Massey's. Brings back fond memories.
Love the regal grand national. I had a 87 when I was 16 back in 92-93. Loved that car. Went through tires like it was cool😂😂 that tractor is a gem bro
Hi Stoney Ridge Farmer. Being human is always an adventure. Thanks for taking us along on your journey and letting us see your mistakes. This video really shows the time and money that you invest in making good content. We really know how to change fuel filters correctly now. :) Much appreciated man. Cheers and God Bless. ~Mike and Ester~
Have owned several Massey Ferguson’s with Perkins Diesel engines and have never had an issue with one! Now that T Shirt you have on had better be clean when you’re done or it’s your ass!! LOL!!! Working on a Massey you need a Massey hat lol! Great video !!! NAPA filters are made by Wix! Excellent filters! Josh is an excellent teacher/instructor!
Thanks for the video. Applying what I learned from you on my old Lincoln SA 250D welding machine.
I also broke a the bowl the first time I tried changing the fuel filter. The worst part is I was changing it in a middle of a job and ran into alot of trouble. Ended up taking it to a mechanic the first time. And the second time I paid someone to replace it for me. This time I'm gonna try doing it myself again.
I'm the proud owner of a 1920's Ferguson who's restoration is almost finished and just discovered the channel today. Considering that you're all the way across the Atlantic and halfway across the US, the last thing I expected was to hear you mention my home town of Wolverhampton! Especially as the part in question was most probably made in the Lucas Engineering plant that is just 2 miles from my home, although it is now called Lucas Aerospace! Loving the content and looking forward to working my way through all the vids!
I'm surprised Super Clean doesn't have something in their bag if tricks for that. I find it totally awesome that you're not afraid to show your mistakes. That is also a very vital part of learning how to do things. Everyone has bad days when nothing seems to go right. We live , learn and move on.
👍Good stuff. Glad to see the bowl breakaway wasn’t edited out.
Keeping ya humble baby! Ha!
Nice Tractor 🚜
Thx ‘J’👍✌️
My Dad had a Massey 240 just like the one here. Bought it new around 1986-87. Had it for probably 15 yrs. Baled hay with it. Cut pasture grass. All around farm use. He sold it after his first stroke along with his farm.
Great vid. Love that you kept the mistakes and mishaps in the videos. That is truly where we all learn!
Don't feel bad brother I have been down that same road with them glass bowls they are so touchy ..man that is a clean 🚜
great instructional video Josh especially showing the mistakes we all make. Who hasn't over tightened something before? This helps us all learn. BTW I love your Massey Ferguson. Such a work horse.
Awesome tips , we have a 245 at my job its a fantastic tractor. I have a baby 1984 massey 205 compact im trying to get back in shape. I just rewired the entire thing and fixed the lift and fabbed up an exhaust. Next step is to change all the fluids and filters.
Felt your pain.........I've broken glass bowl too. .....your human and appreciate you showing the fail.
It's really hot outside be careful out in the heat today Josh and remember to stay hydrated
WOOOOOO!!
"Honey, where have you been the last 3 days? I was starting to worry about you"......just changing the fuel filters on the Massey Dear 😊
I've been there too except there were some choice words I can't repeat and maybe a flying wrench!
Andrew S can’t stop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Andrew Yours is the best comment. Drive to the store ,get the ,part ,drive back, do it all over again , look stupid in front of the Ag dealer desk and fill the car up with gas ect
Tell me about it I'm dealing with a old 65 diesel, cab canister type they suck
Very good video. Really appreciate seeing how to bleed the fuel system after installing new filters. I am changing mine out today on our 1965 MF 135 Diesel. Maybe someday you can film a how-to video on hydraulic oil change?
Josh, enjoyed this video of servicing the tractor. Amazed at how calm you remained when the first bowl dropped and broke. Even more amazed when the second one broke. I laughed when you showed that you had purchased two more just to be safe. Great video.
Battery terminals .... boiling water & baking soda rinse to clean off the sulphate grot ... then pop the terminals a smear with chassis grease .. replace terminals and they should be clean for evermore ... AND USE UR SAFETY GLASSES in future ... Cheers from Australia.
Hate it didn't go smoothly, but love your vids for the total honesty. As someone who likes DIY, always good to see we all make mistakes!
Great tutorial ! People like you are a blessing.
Will try it on our MF 135.
I'm glad you put the stickers on the right way.
Most people put them on the wrong way.
I am really glad to see a lot more people using Napa Gold filters!
Love that Honda trail 90 in the background. I bought one new in 1969 when I was 16. Shoulda never sold it.
Appreciate you showing the glass bowl failures I would 100% have broken them as clumsy as I am
Great video on servicing that MF 240. Great machine. Thanks for the experience.
Really down to earth teacher makes good since, glad I found it on the website
Every battery that I have had with corrosion build up on top of the terminal, always had corrosion the length of the terminal and cable. It's always easier to pull the cables off and clean at that time, than to have an issue when your wanting to get some work done. YMMV. Love the channel.
I don’t know if you realize but you and several others are helping President Trump make America Great Again what you put on your show help others learn and grow. So please keep it up. I myself enjoy your videos. There is a fight going on good against evil there always has and always will. All we can do if keep fighting. I been in the Military such as yourself. And all we can do is unite and support our President before it’s to late. I am sorry for rambling but I felt like I had to post this. Keep up the good work you and others are making a difference on You Tube I can feel it.
Josh... Please do NOT take offense to my post, but I giggled my @$$ off during this vid!!! I FINALLY figured out, I'm NOT the onlyone who has crappy things happen to them during routine vehicle/mower/other maintenance! haha So sorry for the issues you experienced, but in the long run.... that's now called Wisdom!!! Thank You for the maintenance video!!!
Great tutorial. Glad you left in the problems you encountered.
Josh I have seen some people drill out the center of the oil plug and install a heavy rare earth magnet from harbor freight. You may want to do that. You can use some silicone around the rubber on your filters and maybe even though they don’t look dirty just blow them out.
I cntry from SRILanka🇱🇰.MASSEY Ferguson SUPER ENGLAND Tractor 🇬🇧👍👍💖🔥
Josh, I wish I was your neighbor, I would love to hang out with you. Love how easy going you are, and love learning from your knowledge and mistakes. I would come over and help you mow for free. Thanks for the entertainment.
lol
Another great video. Thanks for doing these. Lots of great tips.
Great video !!! very educational and entertaining, your that guy everybody wishes they were your neighbour, very likeable guy,. Love the kinda common sense tips with the service log book and label maker, you know what they say common sense aint so common anymore. So thanks verrry much for your time and effort 👍👍👍
Just wanted to say thanks for keeping it real and not editing out the mistakes. I've definitely had more stupid screw ups than that lol
me too man!
Thanks for the “warts and all” video - I don’t have time to make all the mistakes myself!
My dad has two Ford tractors from the late 50s that are both still running .....ones diesel and the other is gasoline......great tips 👍👍👍
Hey Stoney Ridge. Thanks for being honest. Mostly everyone would have cut that mistakes out. But you didnt. I like that. We are human and humans make mistakes. It shows you keeping your cool while being disappointed. But life must go on. Great video!
Good Info Josh, lol your log book, label maker and organization oil tub looks familiar something in the service instill into you
I like those older tractor like the look of them. You got a nice Massey
brings me back memories when I was young living on the farm.
That Lynx battery spray worked great! I've seen the CRC stuff before, I don't love how it stays tacky.
Great video! Seems I have similar “learning opportunities” every time I work on any project, causing several trips to town.
I'm up in the Foothills every week I'm going to check Smith Tractor,I need parts for a MF35. Thanks for mentioning their name.
still the same system that is on my mf165 from 1971 great tractors mine had the rear hydraulics took them off because it makes running the 3 point lift a pain now mine has a full set of rear outlets running off my front mounted pump that also runs my loader mine is not as good looking but it gets used everyday no down time for anything but maintenance take care and be safe
Great video have a great weekend and stay safe 👍
Oh man I feel for ya on the busted fuel bowl. That’s the kind of stuff that normally happens to me....only I do it when it’s a 100 degrees here in Texas followed promptly by a few choice curse words. 😩
Once again, I’ll be ahead of the game if I ever need to help a friend service a tractor. Especially the necessary cautions regarding those glass bowls. In the end - Good job, Josh.
The MF135 and the newer 240's were long sought after by landscape contractors because of their superior lift control. Very nice tractor.
another great informative video. You rock Josh
Haha, thanks Josh for a great and funny video! Best regards from sweden!
Love it man, keep them vids comin!!
Hey Josh thanks for the video I enjoyed it this is more my kind of video just like when you working on the farm but I do like all your videos and I always do hit the like button stay cool out there man. And drink plenty of water
Great video Stoney Ridge.
Josh you do a good job. You’re also hilarious. Enjoyed the video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Bloopers were the best part and didn't you say a long Time ago never start tractor with out having your Butt in the seat ? When you checked oil you wasn't on it great video
Poke a hole in the oil filter and let it drain into the pan. I serviced diesel trucks for many years doing this to prevent major spills. Great job,
Man i jumped the 2nd time you bust the glass bulb🤣🤣🤣 nice video i have a 240 myself that i need chance fuel filters.
Great video. Thank you so much
Josh that stuff on the battery is battery acid, the battery is boiling from being over charged. Check the volts coming into the battery and see if it is to much if it is you need to replace one of two things so now a days alternators come with internal diodes to distribute the power if you have this you need an alternator, but since that is so old you probably still have a separate voltage regulator somewhere on the tractor that is what is going to be bad because it is sending to much to the battery.
hmmmm
Maybe a Battery Tender frying it? That was a lot of corrosion.
Great job enjoyed that!!!
Great information as always
Professor SRF when are your office hours...Great job teaching with great audio and well as video... as I say, the coffee is not as sweet if you do not spill some the way to your desk!!!!! SRF has not yet killed the Demon Murphy, yet!!!!!!!
Best down to earth video going.
Hey Josh I've got a 1973 464 international harvester and it has glass bowls on both the primary and secondary fuel filters. They make a conversion kit for the tractors with glass bowls so you can switch it over too a regular screw on filter like your oil filter. I'm probably going to switch mine over. Just thought I'd mention the conversation kit to ya. Thanks for the video
baldwin has options for most to go solid but still have the water drain
@@tomprendy thanks is Baldwin their website
Excellent presentation
Great idea on the tote. I'm not sure about the terminal cleaner. So baking soda/ terminal cleaner is a acid neutralizer. You have a vented battery. As a mechanic of many years I used to service batteries the same way. Every so often I would have a customer return needing a battery. I then only used water and a brush to clean the battery. I had a substantial less customers returning for a battery. Just a suggestion.
Great Maintenance Video Josh, may want to put some cardboard on the floor next time to soften the drop...God Bless..Chief..{NYS/ADK}
I agree on the log book. I have a spiral notebook on every piece of equipment that I have. It has the model, serial number and the PIO date on the front cover. For my chainsaws I lump them all into one spiral notebook. One thing I do is put the date and hours of operation on the filter before I install it. When I check the oil after running it for a few minutes, I do it the next morning after it is perfectly cold and all the oil has had a chance to drain into the sump.
Dang it man!!! Good work bud.
Nice informative Vlog Josh loved it. I really like the 240 Massey Ferguson great little tractor. Loved the blooper at the end. Lol
BS D
Josh my best teacher as always very clear explanations with lots of patients
Hello,have you heard of @samjazeel on Instagram, he flip my dollar,All thanks to samjazeel
Very helpful Great video
Nice looking honda trail!
I loved the video. Great content, and fun.
What cranking amps is the battery? Thank you for being the first person to show this in detail especially for me, a new owner of a Massey pretty much identical to yours.
I enjoyed your video. Thanx
Love that old Massey ferguson tractor !!!
