Seeing the old te 20's brings back many memories. I was allowed to operate the tractor in the citrus orchard when I could perch my butt on the edge of the seat and push the clutch pedal to the floor, 8 years old. I was discing the weeds up the rows and across the rows with a 7ft trailing off set discs!!! Thought I was fabulous. I lived for the weekends and holidays so I could drive the tractor. Got my road driving license 7 days after my 15 birthday> Great time in NZ The old " Driving by the seat of your pants" has long gone I reckon, along with being out in all weathers!! Retired now at 68 but still watch and dream about the old machinery. I reckon I would not be able to drive those new machines with the joy stick and GPS steering.
My dad had a welder add a piece of flat bar to length the clutch on our Massey Harris 55 so that I could reach/push the clutch. I remember it was a very stiff clutch. I was about 10 when he did it.
Great to see the 35s and remember how versatile and manouverable they were compared to today's monsters. Easy access and all round visibility, they were so good to drive. A pity about the soggy seat when you got off to open a gate in the rain though!👍
Another great video. I learnt to drive on a little grey fergie when I was 12. Easy to drive and was driving it solo when I was 13 doing all sorts of farm jobs. Remembering to change from petrol to tvos caught me out a few times when I started to drive. Oh what memories.
Another superb video full of heritage machines and lots of scenes that stir the nostalgic memories. The bagger combines are a really rare sight. Can't be many still around in working condition; many would have been scrapped decades ago.
Thank you for an excellent video. The vintage combines harvesting brought back happy memories of my father doing the harvest and two of them lifting the bags of grain onto the truck.
Small farm operator here, I had a Massey Harris 44 gas row-crop, Massey Ferguson 165 diesel , 1 Massey Harris 50 utility gas, 1 Massey Ferguson 50 high clearance gas . Massey Ferguson 3 point hay rake, Ferguson cultivator, Massey Ferguson 2 row 3 point corn planter, 12 and 14 “ 2 bottom mold board plows. I still stand behind Ferguson farm equipment for quality and ease of operation and usefulness in small acerage.
This is an amazing video to watch. I am in love with MASSEY since my childhood, started with MASSEY 135 in 80s. I drove our brand new MASSEY 240 at 9 after 135. I salute a genius MASSEY HARRIS and his I.Q. I want to see MASSEY COMPANY alive again till end of this universe. I am thankful to you to show us amazing childhood memories and lots of love from PAKISTAN a MASSEY LOVING COUNTRY.
Great to hear from Pakistan. Glad you enjoyed the video. We try to publish a video every week so watch out for the next one. It has plenty of Massey content.
MASSEY FERGUSON TRACTORS are hot favorite tractors in PAKISTAN,an agriculture country. People love these tractors due to simplicity an easiest machines to handle, even a child can use.@@Casterton-Vintage
Another great video thanks. A fantastic selection of Massey Ferguson / Massey Harris doing a wide range of jobs. I have a 1970 135. It was built into a sugar beet harvester many years ago before being converted back to a tractor so I dont think its had a hard life
Great video and covered a superb selection of Massey machines 👌 my only criticism is people putting black enamel exhausts on Fergusons made before the 500 series 🤔😂👍
Excellent footage, loved it all, only one little point, why do "some plough men" keep adjusting their plough while doing the job? If they set up the plough on level ground before starting, they would find that it would all work out fine! I used to plough with a MF65 mk2 on the Mendip Hills, south of Bristol UK, lovely job but poor money back then. Good to see so many old Tractors being used. Wonderful. Thank You for your Video. 😁
When I get comments about how young people were when they first drove a tractor it always takes me back to some of my first tractor driving experiences. I can remember steering an Allis B before I was big enough to reach the clutch, whilst my Dad and Grandad forked fodder beet into a trailer. I'm guessing I would have been a similar age to you driving the TEF.
Hello, thank you for your nice post. However, I don't understand why competition ploughing is such a big event 😁. I'm looking forward to your new film. Thank you. Best regards from Germany.
Great to see the MF of my past Drove a780 combine bagger in1976 ,had35,65,165,575,690,390,4255 and all of balers,trailers,and ploughs ,long live mf sadly I farm no more.
I own Massey Ferguson FE35X 1965 model. My father bought in 1971 to the farm we had. I’ve started driving it from day one in a age of 9. I own it today, still driving it. I’ve been cleaning snow with it for 53 years now. I’ve never had any issues, it never ever turned me down. NEVER touch the engine exept oil change, valve adjustment. The injectors have been overhauled twice. I’ve replaced the clutch plate when i split it once, it was because of an oil leak, but it was the oil,pan gasket that was leaking 🤪.. I’ve could had saved me the operation if i had did some research before i start dismantling the tractor. I am pretty sure the tractor will survive me.
Interesting about the clutch getting oil on it. I was told that the rear crankshaft oil seal was made of felt, which should have had a rubber oil seal. But, that was on some of the early ones! I don't know if that was changed on the latter modules? But the Perkins 3 cylinder engines are brilliant. I have always loved the MF 35-X, and the MF-65-MK2s.
@@truethought369 No the clutch didn’t get oil on it. It was the sumpgasket that leaked, and i split it because i thought it was the rear crank seal. And i changed is as well when i first did the stretch of splitting it. I replaced the clutch plate too for the same reason..
@@truethought369 …and the seal on the rearend of the crankshaft is a «rope seal». It’s important that the seal is oiled up before it’s installed. I think it has to be submerged in fresh engine oil «over night». And NEVER cut it shorter …
@@onlywatching6504 Thank You for getting back to me, the reason I thought it was the rope seal, was a friend who had a bad leak from a rope seal and he changed it to the new type. Personally, I think the new type of seal and holder, would be a better than the old ones. I admit I don't know how long his rope seal had been in service? I hope you get many years of service now your 152 is back together.
@Casterton-Vintage A 4 cylinder could be turned off in a meadow in a Summer's day and go back 15 minutes later and need a spray of easy start. Great tractor though 😉.

Forgetting to change to TVO always makes you feel a fool but I'm sure we have all done it! Thanks for sharing your memories.
Without question the best antique tractor channel on RUclips.Nobody even comes close.Always makes my day to find something new.
Thank you for the kind words. It's good to know you enjoy my content and I will try to keep it coming once a week if I can.

Surprising how many people prefer the ransomes plough, another great video. Thanks.

I use a 1967 Massey Ferguson 165 on my small livery stable in East Lancs.
Great tractor.
Another great video ! Great to see classic te 20 s 35 65 135 what great tractors plus good to see Massey combines ! Great work !
Thanks 👍

Thanks for sharing your tractor info. If it only worked on the beet harvester it should be a good one as you say.
Another enjoyable vid. Great to see so many ferguson 20's still being used. They look so small compared to the average tractor working now!
Thanks. The Grey Fergusons are always popular and have their own ploughing class so I do tend to catch a lot of them at work.
Great video and covered a superb selection of Massey machines 👌 my only criticism is people putting black enamel exhausts on Fergusons made before the 500 series 🤔😂👍
I didn't see that comment coming! Thanks for pointing it out. Always learning.

Competition ploughing is very difficult to do well. This makes it very addictive. In my next video I hope to show some of the detail.

Beaucoup de souvenirs ces tracteurs. Mon père avait un 35, moi j'ai eu un 699.❤
Both very nice tractors. Glad you enjoyed it.
thanx for showing this my dad worked on farm here in bedfordshire they had massey fergursons i remember the 35, 175 and 165 and the 2675
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your memories.
Cracking video Bryan, very nice to see so many different Massey tractors in one video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. There is some great history in the Massey story.
Super video, and channel. We have a few videos on our channel about the history of the TE20 and 35.. We love these old machines 😊
Thanks. I check out your channel.
I am very happy with my massey 1010
great music too! i love the tractors
Thanks 👍
What a great video, thanks for sharing 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
Quantas relíquias ,dá saudades de todos aqueles que operaram essas máquinas e não estão mais conosco.🇧🇷
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment.
Excellent compilation, reminds us of warm sunny weather.
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
J'ai appris à conduire. A l'âge de 8ans le petit gris. Quel. Bon. Moment
👍
I have a Massey Ferguson 148 Tractor and noticed one in the drive by. They are not that common. Can anybody assist with an MF148 parts manual?
You don't see many but there is a very nice 4WD at Malvern Tractor Show this weekend. I'll include it in a future video.
What would be nice is to have text along the bottom with the model and year of each machine. Still fun to watch.
Good idea but I don't have that sort of time!
Great vidio i am restoring a Massey Ferguson 35 4 syl 23c from 1958
Well done.
A 35 with 3 cyl Perkins diesel was amazing. Would start in cold weather with no problems with the energy cell combustion design.
I've never owned a 35 but I hear you need to buy one with the right engine!

Thanks
