Lovely to see the older machines still going today, I just bought a 1975 Ford 4000 as my first tractor and I couldn't be happier.
Nice progress on the digger. She’s going to be a mighty fine unit when your all done.
That little Massey digger has been abused over a long period of time. It luckily came into your hands Adrian. Keep working on it, it deserves it!!
My Irish father who died many years ago would be laughing to see me watching an Irish farmer, but I love your videos.
Honestly Adrian, You could start a 2nd channel for restoration lol. Loving it as much as the farm work. Great video brother.
There’s a second channel that’s perhaps in the works 😉 nothing to do with farming though
More oil changing yes🎉
Loved your joke about the Warranty! Thanks for your time and great effort in making this video for us!
He's a gas man. The reference to the solar panels also
I'm new your channel as my neighbour/best friends father has a 50b for as long as I can remember at least 30 years. We're going to restore it and bring the auld girl back to life again. As we've a plant hire partnership business together we think the 50b would look class at the front of the office/yard when people arrive in. She hasn't been moved in 17years but it did drive in to the shed when it was built.
Have a look to see what engine is in it, it’s stamped under the exhaust manifold on the right hand side. Even after a long sit, them old Perkins engines are bomb proof
The weeds you asked about at the gateway you were at last week isn't chinese vine, it's burdock! Hence the smell. The root is what is used for Dandelion and Burdock fizzy pop.
Great video as always adrian and we will all hope that this weather will stay with us for the next week and a bit for dry silage ground 🙈
Look great friend. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy old equipment myself. A little work goes a long way.
Adrian check the oil in the brake housing s to make sure it’s not contaminated with transmission fluid which can happen if the internal seal fails but your transmission oil doesn’t luck contaminated with a axel oil. Transmission oil is hard on the brake discs
Yes I was looking that up, the transmission oil was perfect and at the correct level thankfully so all god there. I was told if I had of run it for 10 minutes and then checked the level it would have been fine 🤷🏻♂️
Another great video Adrian- practical wisdom with logic and humour…. Always look forward to the next episode 🤗
The dogs are supervising 😂
Fascinating to watch you work on such a diverse list of fixes/installs for this equipment, Adrian! I have absolutely no clue on any of it myself, but your confidence and steady hand in all the tasks is something to admire. I had to laugh at the end as you labeled the kill switch since I was slightly worried about that since I knew if it was me, I'd be doubting I would remember which was 'fun' and 'not fun' after the first week! 😄 Excellent update on the digger and great to see a lot of the big to-do items checked off the list. Thanks, and I hope everything is going well for your family. Cheers from over here in the States!
❤🐄❤🌱❤🌞❤🚜❤
Cheers Natalie
Is it worth putting a 'protector' over the kill switch to avoid catching it with the bottom of the operator's trousers bottoms, or heel?
Maybe an inch long piece of 2" pipe.
It’s looking well now, Adrian. Great job in it.
Magic man strikes again, Adrian nothing fazes you , brilliant video again . GHTYAY
Aww what a Fantastic video Adrian 👍💯
Woohoo Massie we have Lift Off🎉
BIG shout out to John Conaty Tractor's 🚜👍🥰
Great problem solving 🛠️ Adrian, in the word's of Jaws 🦈 "We're gonna need a bigger 🔨"😂 I'm so pleased for you, it all coming along nicely👍
Have a wonderful day Adrian and family ❤
It's been a great video to see the workshop of the people who rebuilt the rams! 🧑🔧
brilliant video,, Adrian,,, that digger will be so handy on the farm,,, love your videos,,, up cavan
Hi Adrian,I could be wrong about this re Massey 50B but generally you would check the transmission fluid level with the engine running if you have a dip stick ,it’s that way on my 3cx and most automatic transmission with a torque converter.
Thanks Fer taking us along with you and I enjoy your videos.
Typical farmer heart is what make all work brilliant😊
Now, this is a job well done. I wouldn't expect anything less from Adrian. Just an idea about what to do with the floor of the cab. Obviously the rusted out holes will need attention, but I'm wondering whether painting it with bed liner, the popular hard wearing textured stuff from the USA called 'Rhino Liner' (I think...if I'm wrong, someone please correct me). It would likely give you a hard wearing and slip free surface for the cab as well as help protect what will be a heavy traffic area. Of course, you might have a better idea. Just a thought.
You've got it right about one of the commercial names for the spray-on protective bed liners, Rhino Liner, here in the States. There's another version called LineX too. There are lots of options of the do-it-yourself versions as well, which I would think would be available in some form over where you are. It holds up great to hard use as long as it's applied correctly.
I was watching a guy on RUclips in the US that was using a rust inhibitor spray, it turns the left rust into a primer. I was thinking of doing the same once it’s proper cleaned down and all the body works is repaired. The bed liner paint does sound interesting 🤔, i’ll have to do some research on that one. Thanks for the ideas as always Andrew 👌
Phosphoric acid will convert the rust. There are marine polyurethene paints that will 'seal' it. Should be suppliers around the coast! Lots of info on forums. Local online 'market places' will have cheap rolls of old conveyor rubber belts that would make decent floor mats. imho.
I just love watching your videos when your repairing old machines and other things. My Dad would have adored watching you too.
My Dad would have been on the phone to him either helping or telling Adrian what not to do! And he lived here in Florida.
Lovely to see the massy up and running best of luck with it great video as always ardian 👍👍
Well done Adrian, first class video, great to watch while your having a bite of lunch, that a great thing to take your mind of the joy of farming, hope your getting your silage done while the weather is good, good luck to you all
Adrian, i noticed when you refitted the bucket tilt rams, you put the upper side in the top hole. That reduces your bucket mechanical self-levelling acfion quite a lot. You'll find your bucket will tilt back when raising your loader. Works much better when those rams are in the bottom hole. Also, dont ever complain about being tall. It really annoys short-arses like me!😂
When I took them off one side was on the top hole and then other on the bottom 🙈. I was just guessing as to which one to use but I can certainly change that easily. Thanks for the advise Brian 👌
We used to have one in our dairy farm in West Cork. Reliable workhorse.
Hutson was having a night female horse.
Looking forward to this one coming together
Watching this while my wife is at Church my relax of the week.😊😊😊
I'm sure God will forgive you watching a good, hard working man like Adrian. Your wife may not however. Bolts of lightning come in all guises. Beware.
Great to see an older machine being refurbished rather than getting the hot spanner 😊 Thanks for making the video of the progress. Really enjoyed it. The Massey will be a useful bit of kit when you get it finished
Great video as always, as you mentioned nice to have something different and what could be better than repairing an old but still useful Massey Ferguson.
Great video as usual, love a bit of Sunday fettling.
Did you put the battery kill switch on the Earth?
cowfarmerdan did that and got a few negative comments (no pun intended)🤔
The negative yes, you can put it on either as your simply cutting the circuit but the negative can leave it a little safer overall
I've a kill switch on the positive, I can't remember why!
The flow is from -ve to +ve, of course, would it matter?
Adrian, great work! I am not a farmer, nor a mechanic, but I enjoy how you explain all the work you do on your tractors/equipment. You make it all look VERY easy, which I see is not. Thank you for taking your time to show us!
Great to see the 50 B out I used to love driving my uncles one the torque pedals were great mucking out sheds simple to work
Evening sir... lovely work on the digger... making me think i need to do the same.. 😅.. your going to need a lathe at this rate with all your refurb work.. Your a hard working man.. hope the family is all doing well.. stay safe 🏴
Mighty progress Adrian, be great to see ya ditching and cleaning drains in her when ya get it finished👌
So with the rams back, is it tupping time?? 😂😂
Dirty horses tail lol brilliant...
Pure joy watching you repair and fix the old girl, great work!
You could fit a spring on each side to keep the brakes off
Great video Adrian, good to see the old stuff coming back to life ❤
First
Aye those impacts would definitely void the warranty. 🎉😂. Classic.
Great to seee tge transformation taking place, and great to see old tech
She's no egg, but she's some banana!
You're gas
Hopefully will never be a banana spilt 🥴😀
Great video Adrian nice work done on the digger 💪👌
Class video, with loads of great camera angles. Thanks for the great effort making it Adrian 👍
In the US we call that type of equipment a backhoe.
For me, having grown up in Wales, these are called JCB. Regardless of manufacturer. Much like we call all vacuum cleaners, hoovers and you don't vacuum clean your floors, you hoover them. So, if you want to get a contractor to bring a digger/backhoe, then you ask for a JCB.
The digger progress is coming along slowly but surely
Another great video keep up the good work
That was a great watch as I'm pushing up grass of a Sunday
Use exstention cords for the lights,comes with a tough outter jacket and good wire on the inside and it makes it easier to put protection on. The transmission filter should be straight up from were it is hanging.
Great work, could watch this all day
Thanks for the show Adrian 🍻
Well done for saving her, I think it's important for these old machines to be saved. They are still useful and can do, with a bit of love and tlc the job they were designed for. They were the backbone of the construction industry, before the new age of diggers came onto the scene. Looking forward, when you have the time to the next chapter. 👍
Excellent job well done, all you need to do now is paint the whole thing 😂 Your doing a fantastic job bringing that old girl back to life.
Adrian, watching you service your MF digger the Beatles song come to mind, "He likes to keep his fire engine clean". Indeed Adrian, you have and are dong a cracking job on that machine, "Good House Keeping".
you are an all round farmer plumber and electrion you a perfect for yutube when i start watching your i cannot stop DAVID IN CORK
Great content on the Massey! Take care....
Good progress made on the digger Adrian , really look forward to Sunday's .
Hi from Canada.. I recently started watching your channel and thoroughly enjoy it. I'm truly amazed at your knowledge of machinery engines & fixing them. Did you take farm machinery repair courses when young or are you self taught?
Hello, loving your videos on this 50b. We have just purchased one and staring the same process as you. Please can you help me, where did you get your new seat from please?
Adrian, great video, that 50B is in straight order tbf. It will be a dinger when it's all done.
Where did you get that wire crimper? That's an ideal tool for cable connections
Great job Adrian you will have her done in no time. Battery kill switch a must and something I need to do on my old classics, thanks for the reminder.😁💪👍
Great job great to see it getting a second chance, you would be better running a new earth wire all the way no joints.
There's another filter ..suction screen inside that hyd filter
Are you sure it isn’t a prototype skid steer?
Will you repaint her fully when you’ve done all the work? Lovely old thing she is
Personally I wouldn't, unless it's to avoid losing it in the dark 💡
When greasing you said he was your cheapest friend I knew a contractor once said the best 2 mechanics ever was good grease and good oil and grease every morning before you start
She needs a name. Suggestion "Maggie Ferguson."
Great that it's still in warranty.....🧐
Maybe only with the receipt. It's possibly in a biscuit tin somewhere 😊
Credit to you, your the most versatile and clean farmer I've ever seen.
Brilliant
Good job Adrian!!!!
That machine will lokk well when its all painted up
I'd go easy on the paint! It'll end up looking like Simon cowell!
😃🚜👍
Their should be a small filter in their a well
You need a Riv Nut kit!
“Good minds think alike” was just looking them up when I was at that job on the seat. Gonna get one for sure 👌
Great work
Doing a cracking job the Massey there! I do love watchingyour vids' so knowledgeable , and I bet you've spent tunns of hours init so far. Keep up the good work 💪😊👍
Is the tf finished or is there still stuff left to do
Great video Adrian. As usual doing an excellent job. Love the hat ! Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
The MF 50 B was my first digger, Father sent me on a Massey Ferguson operator's course in Royal Lemington Spa UK in 1980. love the video
Adrian where did you say there is a great garage that hold all kinds of parts especially for older machinery. Love your videos.
Conaty tractor parts in kells Co.Meath Charlotte
While I find you videos interesting.. you don't have a project car like some Dad's do. Yours is a digger! 😅😊 You are very resourceful and you also seem to enjoy what you do. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Watching ye and ye in about those bloody electrical fittings I was wiring up a reversing camera to my van yesterday and the lads that had been there before putting tow bar lights wires in had used them need to take them all out and solder properly 🙈🙈🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Adrian, beautiful pups. Hudson dreaming reminded me of my Buddy a Golden Retriever. He would chase things in his dreams. What's your other pups name?
Thanks for the video. I’m feeling a bit nostalgic looking at this video, my father had a 50B back in the day and we did some amount of work with it, he bought it new sometime in the late seventies as far as I remember and we traded her in in the mid eighties with well over 10,000 hours on her, many’s a day I spent 14 / 15 hours working that old girl . She was as they say a jack of all trades and most definitely a master of none but she was a tuff old girl and stayed going even with the amount of abuse she got. I’d say she was sold by the ton years ago but it’s nice to see her sister getting a bit of a clean up and the opportunity to remember how we were able to do so much with what we had back in the day when time was never really an issue as my father used to say, when the good lord made time he made lots of it!
There's a comparison somewhere on RUclips of the running costs of a 'digger' vs an 'excavator'.
@@IntermediateSolutions saw it but the point is that most of us have wheel loaders of some discription and either have a track machine or hire one in for the digger work because they are just more efficient and nowadays time is money and money is scarce.
There's something 'nice' about old machines in their working clothes, rather than being fully resprayed in a garish colour. Apparently they're worth more too. The original paint gives a sense of how well they were looked after, that is whether they were stored inside or pulled out of a hedge 😬.
Stay safe! (A well made (/restored) mobile hoist might be a good investment).
Great video as always
Loved this. Crazy the amount of filters their is . Plus the difference in oils. Really relaxing to watch. Look forward to the next one 👍🏻
Loving the vids, can you go into the wing lights cables a bit, as I’ve an MF 168 that I’ve fitted sidelight, but not connected up as never done electrics before on vehicles 🤔👍
Hopefully the odd sized rear tyres were not to compensate for a twisted front loader .
New tyres will tell the tale.
Is one side of the ftont bucket wearing more than the other?
Coming together well. Have a look at 4 way angle spanners/wrenches, there a game changer for doing hydraulic pipes in awkward places and would be a good job for you once you get to the backactor. HTH
PS: Teckton do them individually and they are really good for the money.
Well done Adrian in getting as far as you've got. I have an older digger with the older style cab but they have a lot of stuff in common. A local chap changed the bottom slew bearing for me recently and I'm sure he had that bottom housing off but didn’t take the digger arms off. It's funny but the warranty seems to have expired on my old machine as well.
I’m staggered at the volume of oils and lubricants required but the old girls on her way back Adrian thanks to your TLC. 👍🏻
I love to watch when you are bringing new life to old machinery! I hope you didn't pay much or anything for your digger though, all the time and parts you are spending to fix it up. Oh well it will look great and you know it will be safe and dependable when it is done.
I kinda laughed when you said you will have time to work on it after slurry and silage. You are the first farmer I've heard say they will have free time. Anyway, I hope silage season is underway with safe and sunny days.
Does anyone in the house help with editing your posts? How are your parents doing?. You haven't said anything about them lately so that means they are doing well, I hope.
What I use to clean cylinders is the drain snakes you connect to pressure washers . Those special spray directing tips really clean enclosures like a cylinder. I then use WD40 or your preferred water displacement liquid. Then mop it out real good.
You're making a great job of the digger Adrian. You don't happen to know anyone to repair an oil cooler on an old mitsubishi track machine?
