Storm Eowyn Destroyed my Farm, but the Massey 390 still gets some tlc.
Storm eowyn destroyed one of our sheds and made a good attempt to take another one. Come with me as we survey the damage, also this week the Massey Ferguson 390 is starting to get a little tlc and I take you with me on one of my last trips as an engineering consultant before I go full time farming.

    Will try to help out here as much as i can. Matbro headstock looks like its from a Sanderson. The headstock on the Massey loader looks like its a Quicke of some sort, possibly a 3 but i cant say for sure from what i can see. Gribben tractors at Portadown deals in second hand tyres, massive selection so try him first, 12.4 in 24 inch could be hard enough to get but hes probably your best bet that i know of, he also deals in buckets, attachments and headstocks so talk to him. Investigate the orbital first and find where the oil is coming from, it may only be a slack pipe or a cracked fitting, an orbital has to be timed correctly when building it or it turns into an oil motor and the steering wheel starts to spin itself when you start the engine. The 390 rev counter as far as i know works of the alternator. Its possible to fit an alternator with no rev counter output on it, again check this out first, as far as i know the rev counter does not have a separate fuse, its also possible for the rev counter to fail but that's rare, its probably more to do with there is no signal getting to it. Definitely agree with you on the fresh chicken eggs, hard to bate.
