Time to see if my Massey 12 “for scrap or parts” auction find will run!
JT's barn,grill&small engine repair. Your motto could be "It ain't got no gas in it." Nothing like taking a forgotten machine and giving it new life again. Brings out the kid in us.
Thanks! That’s how I feel when I get a new toy 😉
Can’t wait to see your new shop when it’s finished. I love watching you bring dead machines back to life. I do that too but not to the extent that you do. Keep up the great work and keep those videos coming!
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
An easy way to feed the fuel line through the flywheel shroud without removing it is to fit a full length pencil or same size wood dowel into the end of the fuel line and feed it into the back hole. It can then be maneuvered through the front hole relatively easily. I’ve done this many times when needed on these Massey garden tractors. The clutch works in conjunction with the variable speed drive and if the variable speed arm or the center movable flange of the variable speed pulley is stuck the clutch pedal won’t disengage the belts.
They were made in Des Moines, Iowa by DYNAMARK. If you find Dynamarks from the same Era the only difference is the hood grille and paint schemes.
Right on!
JT AKA Hannibal, i love it when a plan come's together,
Right on! I need a black van now 😉
You should never use slime it is water-based and it will rust. Your rims. A better product is called tireject it is a liquid rubber compound with Kevlar and it will seal up to a quarter inch hole. I used it on lawnmower tires that had sidewall cracks and it’s sealed it up golf cart tires that are older than the hills that leak and it sealed them up
J. T. Try putting some bolts and nuts into the fuel tank then adding a cleaner, shaken not stirred, and it will clean up like new.
Right on!
Now you and Mrs. JT can go cruising togather , each on a Massey around town.
That was my hope 😉
NICE WIN J.T....You Looked-Like a KID with Their first Four-Wheeler!!!🤩... Can't-Find-Em'=GRIND-THEM👍...You didn't-even have to FOG the Yard for SKEETs' with this One🤣...Just a Thought but when You're @ Harbor-Freight next...maybe You can gett a Pack of Small Wire-Brushes for Small-Jobs...That BALL-Bat sized Tooth-Cleaner was Bit-Big😵💫... Can't-Wait to See some BUILD-ACTION on the New-SHOP👷💪🧑🔧
I could use some different brushed 😆
Excellent video JT :) also $50.00 dollar Massey Ferguson 12 Lawn Mower Tractor & I thought would run after you did bit fix up on and amazing too! Also you see need lights fix up on too and be all set ! Super see in action, first ride Tractor was Blue Roper my grandparents had help on grass cutting years ago not sure much about it except 3 in tree Manual transmission and one had home farm was Lime Green Firestone (Airens) , sat over engine on back over of 8 hp Briggs & Stratton also 2 pedal with Foward, Netural, Reverse below seat , one left pedal for go slow to fast , other right pedal for Park or Brake , bed 42 inches cutting lawn with 2 blade , no electrical start with key only rip cord and 3 gallon fuel tank! Pain keeps oil in dipstick+ tube pull out engine and tires turf types ! Did job till motor blew up on Crankshaft in half ! But was only $150.00 farm auction sale special said had been used for 25 years and fixing upper! Got 12 years out it !
Got your moneys worth from that one!
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 JT got that right!
Yep, you are on a roll. Awesome when a plan comes together. Should be running and driving good in no time. Don't see many of those little Massey's around anymore. Good deal saving 2 of them.
Thanks! I was lucky to find them!
Maybe this little Massy should be made into a garden stock puller for the county fair?
I may!
Cement pad looking great 👍
Just waiting for my shop warming party invitation😂😂
😉. Wait till next Sunday
I noticed that also! Hard part finished...rest will be easy!
A new belt on the side engine!
Taryl once repaired the leaking tires with old oil
I picked one of those up that has the deck, rototiller and the blade! When I got mine going it actually blew the muffler out and was spewing molten metal at me. Went with the same Amazon special carb and like yours, worked just fine. Keep up the great work in saving these old classics for everyone to see!
Thanks!
I can see a whole new collection of Masseys starting, and I’m jealous, I want some too 👍🏻
I’ll save some for you 😉
JT, ur amazing ability and desire to get that Massey 12 motor to turn-over and run, u did-it. runs and drive o.k. Best $50.00 find.. Fluffy much be in the house.
Thanks 😃
Pull off the fan cover and ck for rat nest,that ll mess up that cast iron motor quickly if you run it to long
I’ll check that out
Hey JT, I can see a problem developing! It starts with one and then, "why not two"? Pretty soon you're buying more, "just for parts"! My wife had to intervene when I had four jeeps lined up in the back yard and her car was left out of the garage. 😢 Is that a concrete slab I see? That "Big 12" may need roll over protection! Now about the forklift! Awesome! A few years back I bought forks for my Bobcat. I think I use the forks more than the bucket. Great for moving trailers around the yard and all sorts of other things. 😊
Right on! That forklift has been the most used tool on the farm 😉
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 You should drill a hole large enough for the shank of a hitch ball into one of the forks about 2 inches from the end. You can also run a D-ring shackle through it for lifting engines and such with a chain.
I suffer from that same affliction! If one was fun....why not have a half dozen for even more fun?
Man i love the old Massey garden tractors, im looking for a big brother for my 7 as well. Great job taking a fence row queen and making her run and operate!
Thanks!
Great job JT. That was luck for that to start up considering it had sat for how long. Those deluxe mufflers are nice. I just sold 1 for $200. Something to keep in mind is if and when you do a repaint, i know a guy thays got a decal kit for it. Shoit me a msg if your interested. And always grest to wake up o a Friday to watch another video of your. Cheers
Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind when it gets the “treatment” lol
That's just a chrome heat shield 😅
@@billycapshew2411 there is also a proper muffler underneath that chrome shield. Very sought after
@@paulhiusser2670 just a standard muffler with a chrome heat shield instead of plain black.....
Jacks Small Engine Parts found a carb for my 1970 Tecumseh on Troy Built tiller
I’ve used those guys for parts a time or two myself
You just gave me an idea . take the Tecumseh off the Troy Built and put it in the JD 110 that has a busted Tecumseh.
second score from the same auction, Ya awesome make a nice tool for the collection
Thanks!
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 you did do well
Talk about total lock that’s two for two I would have gotten into that predicament of getting to items that I’ve always wanted and I would never be able to get them to run outstanding😊😊😊😊
Thanks!
In this world of EV's, computerized vehicle's , ECU's and DEf bullshit. you are a wizard JT. All fixed without a laptop
Power to ya 👍
Thanks! I wouldn’t know where to start with a confuser lol
Those old Massey mowers are really cool.
Right on
Love to see the Massey family growing!
Thanks!
The only thing I hate about them hours is they used Tecumseh Motors
Bigger cracks than a plumbing convention! 😂
😆
Gas tanks that are dirty old fuel inside. I give the tank a few or lots of rinses with boiling water and dawn soap. So you can't touch the tank because its too hot. Then pressure wash the tank. Had good success with that method.
Right on! The hot water is definitely key in cutting the crud in them oldies
At least it wasn't full of rust. Seen alot of them like that.
Very cool old Massey lawn tractor! Runs great!
John Deere was another one that put the battery right next to the fuel tank. Burnt up one JD 112 when the metal gas can accidentally bumped the positive terminal. Installed battery terminal covers after that one. Restored the burnt tractor and still have it and a second 112 along with a 110 with a bum Tecumseh.
I didn’t consider that, I do still have a metal gas can that I use regularly. I’ll have to cover my posts!
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 yeah...my cars, trucks and tractors are the same way here....but on those, the gas tank isn't right next to the battery! Burnt up a nearly brand new jean jacket trying to put out the fire on the 112. Burnt up the wiring hood and dash. Not metal like the MF.
Day by day one day at a time
Right on!
SWEET-JESUS...🫂
Nice work JT . Just needs some more tlc, & a oil change; Nice risk that panned out. One man's junk; Is another man's treasure. On a different note I'm behind on my buildings; I'm having a hard time getting the materials I need. It still seems be supply chain issues; Oh well plenty of other projects to knock out. Again congratulations on getting the M-F 12 up & running.
Thanks 👍. Few things and she’ll be a good runner
One of my neighbors had a Massey ferguson lawnmower for my entire childhood and beyond. He kept it going! Anyway my dad rented his farm, now my brother in law does. He mowed the road ditch on both sides of the road with that mower. He leaned way the hell over to keep it from tipping. Good video JT!
Thanks!
Nope gonna put the massey 10 back together and getter going Drive Tanker semi-truck for Gully Transportation and go to Houston Texas from Quincy Illinois every week so it's probably gonna take some time ⌚
👍👍another mini massey back and working 😀😀
Right on!
thats awesome when u can get it fixed and ready to rock, would look great with some paint, could paint all 3 red ones at the same time even!
Right on! I sure could!
Good morning. Those 60s and 70s lawn tractors are sweet. I'd of bought it too.
Yes they are!
Hey Joe,,runs like a champ. Set it alongside of the gunslinger for inspiration. Be doing blue mountain wheelies before ya know it.
😆
Nice....... As was said in a movie... "They were tires only in the academic sense.... they were once round and made of rubber..."...!!!!
Ha! That is accurate lol
A Christmas Story?
Great find JT
Thanks!
Cracking stuff, on another note is the grain hauler due paint… should match it up to black Betty 🤷♂️🥰🚜
I think it would be a sweetheart in black!
That looks like a Kohler. Very solid engines....or Tecumseh. Never had much luck with the latter.
I think that one is a tecumseh
Great job man, damn good deal for $50 and some elbow grease. But now you are going to have to get the 5 through 16 so you have the whole set!
😆 it’s an addiction lol
I love the look of the Massey from that era. And I see the barn is coming along nicely, cement is poured. Keep up the good work
Thanks!
What a nice ride around mower, all you need now is a wagon behind it, to pull around witha cooler and your favorite mountain drink.
Now you’re thinking 😉
Fantastic. Really enjoyed the 12
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video. Nice job on the little Massey its going to be really nice after you do your magic on it.
Thanks 👍
unlike the 7 ... not alot of smoke
love the Cub Cadet hood on the new truck
Thanks 😆
Love it. I will gladly watch if you choose to make it look better.
That will be in its future
Jt. I would restore that one as its the right size.the heck with the deck,the kolter needs the point sanded or replace ,i believe its the same size as my 74 140 JD. A little work horse for sure
Right on!
👍🏻👍🏻because one is just never enough 🤛🏻🤛🏻
I had to save it 😉
That gas tank on the 12 will fit many mowers ,even my old JD 140 that many people are restoreing cause its JD green. If thats a good in yours, it worth $75 to $100 on ebay alone
Dang! Good to know
Nice little Massey Ferguson 12. My uncle had a 12 years ago, back in the mid eighties. I don’t remember his having the chrome muffler guard. His was a variable speed version. Nice to see it runs. Hopefully the barn is moving forward. Thanks for the Videos, Have a Good Weekend.
Barn is moving in fast forward 😉
That variable speed lever looks the same as on JD of that vintage.
You should cherry it out like the other ones and make it into a decorative arch over the end of the driveway, or maybe a holder for your mailbox.
There’s an idea!
Won’t be long the whole series collection will be lined up and operational. You’re right on the forklift being useful, I have a compact tractor with forks and probably use it at least once a day. Saves the old back lol. Thx
For sure! I think I use that thing every day lol
I have the same. bought without motor and repowered with 102-04 perkins diesel 2 cylinder. Unfornately never finished.. My oncle have a 16 with this motor and it runs pretty good.
Very nice!
I'm a big believer in the older stuff being better than the new stuff
That’s how I roll 😉
The 12 needs some ag traction tires!
I like it!
Hook it up to the chisel plow, it’s field ready! 😂
😆😆
New carb for that is cheap for that engine ,as i replaced mind from ebay,works great,
I have 12 that needs put back together( with deck and blade
Plumbers convention. Love it.
😆
Nothing like seeing JT's shit eating grin on my lunch break. Trying to explain the rise and run to my mentally impaired apprentice. Laying block for a brick stairs. Best wishes from the Eastern Shore!
Thank you!
That's a nice little 12 I like it for 50 dollars you can't beat that
Right on! That’s what was thinking!
You should make a racing mower out of , now that would be cool
Right on!
The grave digger That brings things back to life You gotta love this channel Keep them coming Thanks
More to come! I appreciate it!
Nice J.T.
Now there how many Massey's on the farm?
Always nice to see a new video.
Go on!💪
I wish you a nice weekend. 🍻
Greets.
Thanks, you too! I’ve lost count lol
You are at Jts barn and grill
Good video of what looks like an easy fix for someone like you who know what to do. Like your Farmall lighting in the shop.
Thanks 😉
Another Massey reborn and saved from the scrap pile.👌 couldn't help notice the concrete base is down.👍
Yep! Things are in motion
The clutch is the handle on the right side of the machine. They sometimes need adjustments but it'll save you from destroying the transmission.
I got it loosened up after the video was edited. Seems like it’s working like it should now
My 10 with a manual was the same way, also make sure you check the tensioner for the rear belt(located under your right foot), mine likes to stick once in a while and you will feel it slipping even though the clutch is fully engaged to move.
And it's an excellent shape
Right on
Nice one j.t as normal got lucky again I just can't believe it. They will both look really good when you put your tuch of lip stick on them.
Fingers crossed! I’m excited to get that going!
Love the videos and can't wait for the new shop.
Me neither! Thanks!
JT get more shop projects done in one video than my garage sees completed in a month... almost like he knows what he is doing.
Almost… 😉😆
Love it when a plan comes together 👍
😉
Thanks JT
Thanks!
Grandpa had a Massey 10 many years ago and not to long ago I was able to pick up a 10 in pieces for $50 dollars and couldn't pass it up also got 3 case 220's a 442 and a 446
Nice! I had a video on a 446 about a year ago.. another will it start
Looking forward to seeing 12 stripped down and fully restored nice work JT
Thanks!
I've never had any luck with those "Kung Fu" carburetors. Have always bought parts to fix the original.
Nice addition to your collection JT.
Thanks 👍
My father had a number 12 MF when I was a kid but it was yellow
That’s interesting, I’ve never seen a yellow one
I love it 👍excellent job mate 💪when it stared running it put a smile on my face 😀i see the concrete is ✅ cheers from down under 🇦🇺have a good weekend jt
Thank you!
Another great video! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Ya gotta save the old 12.
It’ll get the good treatment
@@jtsbarnngrill6873that's what my wife said 😆
😂
To bad you dont live closer to me. I have a #12 not running. Comes with snowblower, mower, and tiller
All the goodies I could use lol
Cracking job JT another bargain in the bag 🎉
Thanks!
Another great save JT. And, I wholeheartly vote for the body and paint. There's gotta be a L&G tractor wrecking yard in your area. Find a deck, we Massey guys dont' care if the tractor is "numbers matching." Remember, you ARE gonna need a showcase piece for the "JT's Barn And Grill Small Engine Service mentioned below. And everbody else reading, rummor has it, that although JT says he"not addicted to MF lawn tractors, he is looking for a 5, a 6, an 8, a 10 and a 14. Obviously, not running. Obviously I'm joking. Don't bug JT, spring is here, he needs to work up the land, it's planting season on the horizon, he has the new shop to build, AND paint and polish on the 1800. Jt great video, fantastic find for 50 bucks, and is Fluffy on vacation again? Damn it, even my boss don't take THAT much time off.
I am gonna be a busy turkey in the next month! And lots of paint to come this summer!
How exciting that, very soon, those bags of seeds won't be in the way of fixing stuff!
Hopefully in the next few weeks!
Another good job!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome! Definitely deserves a little dolled up!
Yes it does!
How many different series were there ? Hope you can collect them all ! Enjoyed watching JT !
Thanks! I’m not sure exactly, but I think from 5-16 if I’m not mistaken
Like a kid in a candy store!
You figured me out 😉
well done man.
Thank you!
Looking good JT. Keep up the good. Looking for a 1200 ride on to take back to 🇸🇪.
Right on! Thanks!
Calling Dr Jt
I’m here!
JT,
Looks like with a little love that MF'er will make a sweet little tractor. Is that a 12hp Kohler?
Also the square body Chevy PU looks nice as long as the MI salt has not gotten to it.
Always enjoy your content/channel. Thanks, Boe 👍👍
Thanks, I replaced most of the body on that one, it isn’t allowed to play in the winter lol
Great to hear the 12 run again I’ve got one for you I bought a JD400 with a 720 loader and 95 series A backhoe the backhoe works fine but the loader stopped working. Any suggestions I’m thinking release valve.
That or the block for the loader controls. That is unusual for one to work but not the other
I did more digging through my books and found a paragraph explaining the problem. (Plugged pressure relief valve ). Apparently there is some crud in the hydraulic system.
