JT you remind me so much of my dad, he was a welder by trade until in his late 40s he bought some land and went from part time farming to a full time farmer. I don't think we ever had a truck that he didn't build the grain bed for it or make them from single axle to tandem. He made his own gravity wagon , pretty much anything made of steel he could build it. Even built a 27 foot boat out of steel. But he never did body work . Anyway you and the way you do things really brings back some awesome memories. I'm 67 years old and I wish I would have stayed farming. So watching your videos gives me a chance to relive some of the good old days that I was to young and stubborn to enjoy 45 years ago.
yup, the animals were the priority. Not all sheds are good either-- my brother bought at an auction an immaculate low mile car stored in the dirt floor farm shed. he got it home and tried to jack up, the frame was 90% rusted and brittle. We think the fertilizer was kept nearby. This Nasty Massey is possibly rusty from being stored in an active livestock barn, and/or exposed to some other accelerant like fertilizer, manure, silage--some combo including lack of cleaning (some situations are futile to clean). it's gonna live the sweet life, now :)
Good job JT! Winter can be a tough time to get things done. Dodging winter storms, extreme cold weather, wind chill. That door was in tough shape! If i had a spare here i would have shipped it off to you. You would have had it in two days.
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 didn't notice but isn't there a bracket at the top that keeps the door from swinging all the way back and bending the hinge like it did? Those pieces get alot of use and are often times the first thing to wear out and break. Btw....Hate seeing you get rid of the Steiger but that's an early factory made unit that was built just a few miles from where I live near Fargo. If you could find one that was built even five years later it would be a huge improvement.
I really enjoy your videos and how you present them for us to watch. You explain why and what you are doing very clearly. When you get that old girl all fixed painted up new stack she will be another prize in your fleet of restorations.
I'm glad to see that fluffy is still going strong, 😅 that door was quite the handful looks like. Daisy Duke was really something wasn't she. Thanks for Sharing. 😊
Great video. What sort of metal bird took a dump on that is a novel way of describing that welding and in fact it did look like a pile of cr@p!! It's definitely taking shape now. Really look forward to the finish tractor!😊
Another Great Video, J.T. Reminds me of painting equipment on the farm, at first with my uncle and then with my dad. They were not perfect when done, but looked a bunch better than before. Preparation made all the difference and a good paint system. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Nothing more satisfying then making old equipment look good again. We have a 2675 massey, think I'm going to try and convince my old man to let me paint her up. Only has 3200 original hours. Heat and ac work 😮
A decent heat gun works pretty fast to get decals and tough paint off. I got a cheap one from Horrible Freight and it puts out pretty good heat. I’m not sure how long it’s gonna last but it was cheap and I don’t use it often. 👍
Bout time u getting that de gone tractor finished. I was giving up hope. Just kidding looks really good. Look forward to ur videos about those tractors.
Primer looking real good , it’s even cold in the South right now , good job and it will be hot before we know it, and that Massey will be looking fine 👍🏻
Might want to find a way to cover the glass when ya weld close to it JT. Those little cherry bbs will stick to the glass and make everything from scraping ice to cleaning windows a reminder of when you welded on that fine day…
Excellent video JT :) also you doing best with temperatures and weather do fully understand that too! Also JT to get those decals unpeeled of 2 things help if remember Straight razors men for shave faces they use back in 1970 plus early 1990's you change metal razors blades those work and one plastic handle scraper lawn mowers with get lawn clipping and coat bottom deck with help out or use butter knife use on table at meal time old ones! They work super but becarefull not get cutting fingers or hand on scrape decals of! Also use soft grip 400 grit sandpaper on primer scrubbing primer very lightly and then blow of air compressor blower and put paint to also put some clear shine cure paint and have sparkling shine !
Hi from New Zealand! That 1105 will certainly look a 100% better than it did JT! Love what do & appreciate what is involved in fixing & restoring old tractors! I can relate to this as I've been restoring an old Massey Ferguson 165 myself!
Thank you for verifying my claims about the paint stripper!!! It seemed through the years since the late 90s it got weaker and weaker. I love the channel!! Keep up the good work
JT something you may have already tried for paint removal is EZ-OFF oven cleaner in the yellow can. It is also great for removing grease and dirt. But will also take paint with it. I used it one time on an ole pickup truck bed and paint washed off with low pressure garden hose. Some paints are harder than others to remove. Just be sure to wear eye and lung protection when spraying and don't spray when wind is blowing at you. Looking forward to watching the rest of the project. Stay warm and stay safe.
About the time some of the snow we got Sunday and Monday started to melt we get hit with freezing rain where i live we got between 4 and 5 inches of snow they pretty much shut down everything! Any way looking good so far will have to let my little girl watch the video so she can see Fluffy!
Hey JT, next week will warm up quite a bit. My front fenders are waiting patiently for the snow to stop and weather to get out of the single didgets so I can resume patching rust and beating dents. I'm still clearing snow but at least the power didn't go off. The things we do for fun 😅
Hey JT doing a great job my only advice is to do what took me forever to do also invest in a auto darkening welding mask I picked mine up at harbor freight for like 40 bucks well worth the investment sure did help me run off all those metal birds as always thanks for sharing
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 I have one of those JT and it really turns welding into a much easier experience! Horrible Freight, as one other commenter called it, has them and they work just fine! Note: this is not in any way an endorsement of Horrible Freight! In most cases they suc.
Nice one j.t. those doors are not easy to work on. I think all the strength is in the glass. The D cals didn't look to bad on video. Like you say all the good stuff we used to get for doing jobs it's no good. Even redoxied paint is not as good anymore same with hammer right. Even the spray for the field is no good. On one good note you just saved 300 to go towards the combin. Good job. From Andy in uk
@jtsbarnngrill6873 that's one thing when you got some much stuff to maintain you got to try save some money. I all ways on the look at any places I went farms anywhere I used walk around even if you could pick up a bit metal any thing I all ways asked. 9 times out 10 they say ya take it. Man that saved me a lot money. L.o.l catch you on Sunday
I use the Axalta imron 2.8PR. It’s actually a urethane, I’ve been calling it epoxy out of habit from when the old DuPont imron primers were epoxy. It’s still the best in my opinion for what I do. Great for bare metal/rust, fills and sands very well. Excellent corrosion resistance. As far as primers go, it’s more affordable than regular 2 part primers that do nothing on bare metal or corrosion resistance
That remover spray seemed to have done a good job of softening the adhesive on those decals Joe, did it leave a dry surface or was there still some sticky stuff to remove before sanding?
Hey JT when you got the 4420 did you have to fix the air conditioning or did the air conditioning. I know this doesn't go along with the Massey Ferguson 1105 restoration project but I was just something I was wondering
Like all good things, they water it down till it’s almost useless. Some people should never have welders, they have the heat turned down and definitely looks like a bird shit on it and won’t hold anything
JT you remind me so much of my dad, he was a welder by trade until in his late 40s he bought some land and went from part time farming to a full time farmer.

Thank you for that! It makes me happy that I can help you to hit up some good memories!
When you’re done, I always say, Good from Afar, Far from Good.
Great job jt it’s looking micky mouse 👍cheers from down under 🇦🇺
I can't wait to see it done!
Farmers back in the old days couldn't afford to have shop buildings to keep their equipment inside from rusting away. Great work JT.
Thanks!

@@karlfischer1011 I've seen alot of really rusty equipment but I've never seen the top of a cab rust out like that one on JTs MF.
I think that door turned out great.
And it must of been to cold for fluffy lol
Thanks! She wasn’t liking the cold lol
Good job JT! Winter can be a tough time to get things done. Dodging winter storms, extreme cold weather, wind chill. That door was in tough shape! If i had a spare here i would have shipped it off to you. You would have had it in two days.
It’s been a challenge to get paint done in this cold! Hopefully the his door will keep me going a while!

I like how she always watches me work 😆
Whatever Daisy doesn't catch...Farrah does!
Hey JT I'm from Mount pleasant I know your pain in the cold
Right! It got cold in a hurry!
Great video.

Another good show today dude you're a pretty well-rounded guy good job I like the projects
Thanks! I appreciate that!

I’ve had hit and miss luck with those lol. But they work good for pulling decals!
Looks good glad you could fix the door
Thanks!
Nice Job.
Greetings from the Neterlands!
Thanks! Greetings from Michigan!
We scrape decals off at work with gasket scraper and then the glue with thinner
Job well done in difficult conditions
Thanks! I do the best I can!
Slowly but surely it will be done and will look nice.
I would tell you how to remove the glass from that door... but seems not ready to do that
Thanks for sharing hope you are keeping warm it’s been to freaking cold here lol
I’m doing my best to stay warm! High of 20 today, so it’s gonna be down right tropical 😆
Bout time u getting that de gone tractor finished. I was giving up hope. Just kidding looks really good. Look forward to ur videos about those tractors.

Primer looking real good , it’s even cold in the South right now , good job and it will be hot before we know it, and that Massey will be looking fine 👍🏻
Right on! I’m getting really pumped to see it all done!
Might want to find a way to cover the glass when ya weld close to it JT. Those little cherry bbs will stick to the glass and make everything from scraping ice to cleaning windows a reminder of when you welded on that fine day…
You are correct. I have made a few bumps in this one, and should have known better. Been there bedore

Great vid bud cant wait to see her done!
You and me both!

Nice work, looks like a long cold winter ahead hope it gives you enough of a break to get this baby painted.
Thanks! I hope so too!
I had to watch that last clip 3 times and it’s still funny😂
😆😆. I’m glad you liked it!
Great upload, one of the best yet! Im excited for the rest of the series.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully I’ll have the paint done by next weekend
just picked up a Massey #14 tractor😀
Nice 👍. I would like to find a garden tractor sometime myself!
These 2 speed hydrostatic drive tractors are great. you should try to find a 14 or 16 @@jtsbarnngrill6873
Great video carnt wait to c it done
Right on!
Thank you for verifying my claims about the paint stripper!!! It seemed through the years since the late 90s it got weaker and weaker. I love the channel!! Keep up the good work
Thanks! Yes, it’s definitely not the stuff it once was
Try using a heat gun for removing the decal it softens the glue thats what i use .
Well shoot it sounds like I'm not too far from you. The tractor is looking good sir!!
Thanks! Hope to have it complete by next weekend
Door looks minty!!! Sucks losing power for a couple days. Yep winter got us like a hit to the 🥜.🤣🤣🍻👍
😆😆. Came in hard and low lol
I’m surprised you could get the temp over 50 in the shop with the outside trying to get in the little gaps in the old shop doors.

I’ve not tried Ez off for paint removal, but I’ll give it a shot. It works great on degreasing, might not hurt to keep a can or two in stock here!
Nice work JT. It’s looking much better!
Thanks 👍
Their are rust removers that you can paint over, they turn the rust to black. Remove the oxygen.
Very good Video 👍 👍
Thanks!
You need to get a sand blaster JT
About the time some of the snow we got Sunday and Monday started to melt we get hit with freezing rain where i live we got between 4 and 5 inches of snow they pretty much shut down everything! Any way looking good so far will have to let my little girl watch the video so she can see Fluffy!
Right on! Glad I could get her in the video, she doesn’t like the cold and snow much!
Great video as usual. For a different way to remove decals would a blow torch not be quicker/ easier. Burn the stuff off
Possibly. I’ve never had much luck with heat of fire on those myself.
Hey JT, next week will warm up quite a bit. My front fenders are waiting patiently for the snow to stop and weather to get out of the single didgets so I can resume patching rust and beating dents. I'm still clearing snow but at least the power didn't go off. The things we do for fun 😅

👍🏻👍🏻
Looking great so far JT
Thanks!
To bad don't have a 2nd salamander to help heat up your workshop
Hey JT doing a great job my only advice is to do what took me forever to do also invest in a auto darkening welding mask I picked mine up at harbor freight for like 40 bucks well worth the investment sure did help me run off all those metal birds as always thanks for sharing
I need one badly! One of those things I keep saying I’ll get but never do 😆

Put plastic wrap on top of that paint stripper. It helps it out to not evaporate too fast. Keep all the toxic goodness where it needs to be.
I’ll keep that in mind!
Actually those pc. Of metal turned out looking good, did you have time to remake bed after you use them to cover up the tractor
Yes. 😆
Burns the skin but you can hit it with water and the burn stops lol.
😄😄😄👍👍👍👍👍
Great Job so far JT. on getting the decal/sanded and primer on the 1105 hood/door and panels. Fluffy much like the snow?
She’s not a big fan! 😉
i used rust converter on mine. the white milky stuff. I killed the rust and then I sanded it off. My MF looks like new!
Perfect!
JT I’m curious what brand epoxy primer you are using I have a project I’m about ready to start painting ?
I use the Axalta imron 2.8PR.
It’s actually a urethane, I’ve been calling it epoxy out of habit from when the old DuPont imron primers were epoxy. It’s still the best in my opinion for what I do. Great for bare metal/rust, fills and sands very well. Excellent corrosion resistance. As far as primers go, it’s more affordable than regular 2 part primers that do nothing on bare metal or corrosion resistance
can you do an 1155 cold start not plugged in?
I think I can do that at some point
Oh they made it weak. Yeah the stuff I used to use wrinkled the paint in a minute or less seems like.
Exactly! It worked almost immediately
That remover spray seemed to have done a good job of softening the adhesive on those decals Joe, did it leave a dry surface or was there still some sticky stuff to remove before sanding?
It did the job, maybe better than I expected. Just not as good as it once was. There was a little stuff left but laquer thinner took that away.
Hey JT when you got the 4420 did you have to fix the air conditioning or did the air conditioning. I know this doesn't go along with the Massey Ferguson 1105 restoration project but I was just something I was wondering
I did not. The AC has always worked good in that combine
Like all good things, they water it down till it’s almost useless. Some people should never have welders, they have the heat turned down and definitely looks like a bird shit on it and won’t hold anything
Exactly! Just because there’s a lot of weld built up don’t mean it’ll hold anything lol
Tuff time to paint 🎨 but I know you will struggle through it and it’ll be a scharp dude
Thanks!
Remove decals with hot air gun lot quicker
I’ve tried that before. Works good, but not on these very well. I can’t tell you why that is but seems to be better on lighter decals
Hey watch this LOL!
😆
Yeah.... the strippers are not what they used to be....
In all aspects 😉
