Educational and entertaining. 👍 don't worry about what people think. If you want to paint it, paint it, you're tractor, your decision, your life, your videos. I will continue to watch either way. Thanks for another great video!
On a slightly smaller scale the outboard motor on our brand new 20 ft boat had hydraulic steering and the marina had connected the lines backwards. We did knot no this until the boat was in the water. My brother managed to idle to the dock where we determined that simply swapping those hydraulic hoses would solve the problem. So we removed them.... And then waves hit the boat, and hilarity (and oil geysers) ensued. 🙂
Love your videos and seeing you bring these beauties back to life - brings back memories of a contractor with a brand new 1135 under a silage harvester back in the day - some lady, look forward to the 1155 all painted and shiny - from Ireland
Everyone else can't wait to see her all shiny. Sorry, I can't wait to see her all covered in dust from a solid day's work. JT, loving the content. Keep 'em coming. Greetings from the snow bank, where it's cold, and even with that much oil on parts, the bolts will still be rusted.
Appreciate the videos. You made my back hurt getting the rack assembly out and back in. It’s your tractor, do what you want with it, you already saved it from the scrap yard. I could understand if it was all original, but like you said, it’s not. Glad to see some old iron saved from being turned into something from China.
When I compare my brand Massey Ferguson 5711 to my new to me but old 1971 Massey Ferguson 1150 V8 what a difference. The wiring the computers and sensors and everything else. I wouldn’t attempt to work on it. My 1150 has been completely repainted with the parts taken off painted and bolted back on with new bolts. So go ahead paint my day👍😂
Had to rebuild the main hydraulic pump off the front of my 1155 tractor. That was a bit of a job. Had to rip out the rad and everything to get down at it. But it’s 45+ years old, so guess it was time.
I put two battery's In my 255 and it starts in 20 below with out pluging it in my old belarus had two battery's and they started great in the cold that's where I got the idea to put dual battery's in the old massey
Great video again. Could you make a video when you rebuild that hydraulik pump? Need to remove and rebuild the one in my 1155. Like to see how it is done
Was worried about seeing the 🌙 in a couple spots. Good editing or good suspenders? You can tell which parts of a tractor were well designed and wisely implemented. And you can tell which are purely afterthought (oh yeah we need a seat for an operator! And a front axle...). I was afraid the steering might be backwards, as some mfg will do that to a guy when you interchange designs. I bet you have a bearing out inside the original rack. Starts pretty good for a junk row tractor, some don't start that good in summer. Thanks for sharing with us.
Does it not have a heater so it helps start on the cold mornings like your videos drove massyfergson trackers all turbo driving like 190 turbo that tractor just pull and pull none stop pulled a big grass chopper and a trailers all day long
Love your commentary while you work just recently became a subscriber. My cousin has A MF 165 that has some issues he's not a mechanic but I think it is something that you can repair he's got a new tractor & wanting to get rid of the 165 let me know how to get ahold of you if you want more details
Yes, but I think it’ll have to wait till I can run it hard and make some heat/pressure. It hasn’t put a drop in since I’ve had it, and a pressure test yielded no leaks…
Thank goodness you saved Fluffy!! LoL It was awesome to see you fix the steering with a spare part, I bet that felt really, really good!
Right on! It’s a good feeling!
So glad to see that you clean everything up vs just putting a greasy mess back together.
That sledge looks well used. Just trying to catchup on your old videos so I try to make comments to satisfy the TH-cam algorithm. 👍🏻
I am like you, go the extra mile, check everything and clean everything. The only way to fix whatever you work on
Freaking awesome! Another great job bringing a monster back to life. Can't wait to see it all shiny and pretty. Thanks for taking us along JT
Oh... they are Pretty!.... When all is said and done you should name the duo "Beasty Boy's"....
Great video as usual! Quick segment at the end was hilarious! JT to the rescue!
The cat is a Siberian Forest cat. We had one that looks like that cat for 16 years. Wonderful cat.
Beautiful animals 💜
What a gorgeous cat

Keep JT-ing man! It's a joy to watch.

The clip at the end is precious 🤣
Perfect my friends

I like your show. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
JT’s barn n grill the best there is.
Thanks!
I always enjoy watching you work on the ole Massey’s 👍p
You get more done than the guys with a big new fancy shops!
Have a Coors,,you got it.
Another great video,very entertaining on a Sunday morning.
Love that tractor! Can’t wait to see it completed. 😊👍🏻
Well done Fluffy!!
YESSS PLS PAINT!😊
Use one of your front-end loader to pick the heavy stuff up, and get it close to where it needs to be.
Fantastic... I’ll say it again... Fantastic.
Very good Video 👍👍👍
Really enjoy your videos! From Oklahoma
Had a neighbor who owned a 1155 with straight pipes (big chrome ones) and when he was in the field you could hear him for miles...
Thats an awesome tractor,she deserves paint

I’ll take that 😉. I can’t wait to take it out and get it dusty!
Great work JT 👌👌👌
nice heavy dirty jobs, mate :)
Great video as usual, love what you do on this channel 👍🏻
Thanks for all you do.
Cheers.
Awesome!!!
Good job. The beast is getting there.👌
Great job
Awesome glad it worked out maybe the old pump was the wrong pump for that tractor and the one you installed is the proper one...

Thanks! That’s what I was thinking too, she coulda had a different outcome all together if I hadn’t come along 😉
Lucky finding those parts and the price was right, thanks for sharing
I think that Fluffy is a "Millennial" cat. Friendly, but absent when the work needs to be done!:) Every once in a while a win sure feels good!
She is exactly that 😆😆

Nice! I’ll bet that 1150 is a real head turner!
Fluffy says " do I look like I wanna work wit you dude??"
Good job. O and by the way that's a can of start-cha-bastard, lol!!! That old 1155 will look so nice painted up!!!
Thanks! That ol girl will clean up really nice!
Good job JT, be careful with your back
Indeed! One day I’ll pay for all this heavy stuff I should have help with lol
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe rig up some kind of lift or something.
Paint on tractor,is like make up on a woman. Looks better lol ! Enjoyed watching JT!
To help with your cold starts there a button on centre of fuel cut off lever on injection pump. Try pushing that in.
Good job 👍
Good job!
Taking notes so you can buy mine?
@@chadtosh6831 haha
@@jeremycherny2041 it’d go good with the swather!! You could drag it home with it. Lol. Tractor is going on kijiji this week. 🤣😆👍
@chadtosh6831 if it was a 1135 I'd buy it

I like how your exhaust caps went out of frame opposite and came back in the same direction..
Yes, had to give that pipe a twist 😆
I noticed that to. I was like, that needs to be fixed or it will drive me crazy. Then the next shot, boom, all good again.
I noticed that also.
I hope for the sake of my ocd that you get the pipes straight. Nothing worse than crooked pipes.Keep up the good work.
Not to worry! There are brackets on the hood that hold them straight and even. Soon as the hood is back on it’ll be perfect
Great content as always.
Thank you sir.
Wow when that ol gal started I thought for sure Gretta and 40 of her brain dead deciples were going to storm your barn!
Been a minute since I've last seen an ether can that size.
Nice work , and great score on the parts free is good !!
Fluffy just isn't onto shop work anymore, think your better half is spoiling her lol
Atb john
Indeed! Saved me several hundred bucks!
You could use a 12 volt RV AC unit on the top of that tractor to piss everyone off even worse.
I have a 1100 massey
I’m sure glad I’m not the only one that ends up with 3/4 of a cord of lumber in my projects.
I put two battery's In my 255 and it starts in 20 below with out pluging it in my old belarus had two battery's and they started great in the cold that's where I got the idea to put dual battery's in the old massey
This has two batteries. Still likes to be plugged in when she’s below 35
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 yep 32 below out today plugged it in for 3 hours did some grunting but it went
If only fluffy had opposable thumbs she would be so much help😂
I’ve often thought the same 😁
Whenever my wife and I go anywhere she drives that way I can "window shop" as she calls it some of my best finds were out of the car window
I’ve found some treasures the same way!
Great video again. Could you make a video when you rebuild that hydraulik pump? Need to remove and rebuild the one in my 1155. Like to see how it is done
I’ll see what I can do, I’ve never been into one of those pumps so I’d be flying blind. But I’ll do some learning and see what I can come up with
Spare Parts ??? some day you might get an 1105 & an 1150 😁
😆😆👍🏼😉
👍
Looks like that might weigh just a little bit less than a full grown elephant 🐘 😅 😬
Only slightly 😆

And you COULD stop at the bar and grab a couple big guys to help for the cost of a beer but then there is less beer for JT!
I could…. I need to consider that 😆. Stuff don’t heal as fast as it once did lol

Just wondering if you’re a mechanic you seem be very knowledgeable of these tractors 🚜
Not by trade, just have a lot of experience with them

How hard is it to work on the pto mine does not move but spins freely by hand any help appreciated thanks
"Put it on a timer"""
Hey J.T. Do you still have to investigate the prestone mixing with the oil ?
Yes, but I think it’ll have to wait till I can run it hard and make some heat/pressure. It hasn’t put a drop in since I’ve had it, and a pressure test yielded no leaks…
Piss em off... paint her pretty like... masseys deserve to be pretty
Yes! It’s at least straight! It’ll be way better than it is now 😉
ya say that was from a 1130, im gona look for more holes on mine
Yep, from what I read in the parts books, this is for a “western” model I believe? Just glad it all worked out
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 hell ya. it looked like a better design
What part of USA do you live in, your MO is very similar to my own
I’m in Michigan
I had always thought of US farming on a huge acreage , great to see it on a scale similar to Ireland,
I don’t know how you do all that stuff to sell
I have not sold this
Nope,nope, nope. Clean the damn thing. Only takes a few minutes in the grand scheme of things.
Nothing on a tractor that size is light.
Ether equals rebuild the engine soon.
Why lift weights when you can lift tractor parts 💪🤣🤣🤣
Bingo!
1155 pest control 😂😂
Pinion... man that was bugging me. I had to type it out before I could verify which was right. Been thinking about it since this morning. LOL.
Fixed. 😉
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 We both know we get through life on our good looks, not our spell check. LOL
😂 lol
Man you should do a video on what this tractor cost you and then what it cost to get it back going, i think that would be interesting.
I was thinking of that too. Might do some type of a start to finish montage with costs after it’s all done.
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 I always wanted to do one on mine , but didn’t wanna passout
