Well, thank you for a cool comment my friend. Gotta admit though, this one was a bit easy to solve. I went ahead and did a total service, filters and oil change etc at the same time. Thanks for stopping in today.
I forgot to add sent a slight blast of air backwards to the fuel tank with the cap off to clear the ine. So when I get this tank of fuel used down, I'll clean and suction out the innerds of the tank. There was a couple pieces of soft black material on top of the filter when I removed it. So whatever it came off of is still in the tank.
Very informative video, great work. I dont always comment, but I'm always tuned in. My neighbours Fordson kept stopping, bled it got it running then it stopped again after 5 mins. Ended up being a blocked (screen in the tank) fuel tap at the bottom of the fuel tank.
As you know, so many times if the tractor was running fine and just stops like that its something simple as can be. Glad you had an easy one for a change. We all need one like that on occasion, don't we. LOL Thanks, btw, for the cool comment my friend.
Yeah, they are pretty tough tractors. I worked for a landscaper in the 80's who had two. One two wheel drive and one four wheel drive. They were pretty small and fairly old when I started working there but they held up to all the abuse "summer hires" could dish out. I was wondering what you were going to show with bleeding the injectors as I knew they had a common bleed valve. First ones I had seen on a tractor back in the 80's. Sounds like there may be something floating around in the tank. Hope it doesn't do that again when you're in a bad spot. 😮😮😮
One thing I can guarantee, if I can't break one down its gotta be a good machine. I'm a horrible tractor abuser. The B2400 sheared all the bolts that hold the front half to the back half years ago. I drove it half mile back home with nothing but the steel hydraulic lines holding it together. That was a pretty tough repair. After removing the sheared parts, I drilled larger and tapped new threads for the larger diameter grade 10.9 metric bolts. It is nice to have the common bleed and I'm not sure if all Kubotas have that or not. I know the Ford and Case hoes that live here don't and neither does the Perkins in the skid loader. And yes, there's some black rubber flecks in the bottom of the tank, I had a full tank so that's why I didn't flush and vacuum it. But I will soon as this tank is low. I just forgot to mention I blew the line backwards from the filter bowl.
my mh 555d power assisted steering is not working i saw back a few months ago when in uk nothing resevoir the belt from the pulley pas to main pulley below is missing do u think it will be easy to ease off iam worried if i put on bely and fill resevoir it might bugger up pump as not been used and bone dry. t think try pas pump to loosen up with bar wrench with resevoir full.
If it was dry and un belted when you purchased it, I would thing the previous owner knew there might be a problem with the pump. It could be something simple like a leak in the system though. I'd fill the system and roll the pump by hand to pre-lubricate all the dried bearing surfaces before belting it to the engine. Just my thought. I'm not familiar with the 555D power steering pump, but the other models are gear driven and would burn up pretty easy ran dry. You may get lucky with the belt driven one.
@@tractorman4461 thanks wendell for your advise seen new eaton steering pump at steiner pricey will try the scrap yards for second hand or recon no many names that do massey harris . please. will get my mate to photo pump on mh to see if eaton make goes with eaton pas system will check if it has it.
@@nigelgwillim644 Good luck with your project. My brother has a 55 without power steering, but his has the planetary steering gear and its fairly easy to drive and turn.You might try joining a Massey Harris group on Facebook. Lots of information for asking and parts locating can also come from the groups. Let us know what direction you go with the repair Nigel.
Oh they can be an aggravation to bleed for sure, though I've got no experience with the MF 1100. I've got several others that have to bleed individual injectors and if you've got a weak starter or bendix that won't engage it can be REALLY irritating. I had a 152 Perkins in an old Massey 2244 highlift that was the same way. And also the 332T three cylinder in the skid steer is the same. Thanks for watching Tony.
Good Morning Sir, You are THE BEST TRACTOR MECHANIC IN THE WORD 😇👍You are truly leading by exemple mon ami Cheers 🍻🍻
Oh now Dave, methinks you exaggerate just a bit mon ami. LOL. But I thank you for the very supportive comment.
Those single point 'fuel bleeds' are nice. I bought a B7100 in 1977(?), great machine.
My B7100 is an '82. It now lives permanently on one of the three point mounted buzz saws.
You did very well because she started and running very well. Good going….CHEERS
I just got lucky on another one Gator. Over here, its the blind leading the blind and we just muddle our way through stuff if we can. (-:
Another great ,informative,practical, and professional video ! Thanks ,

Good job buddy you got it fixed up pretty quick take care have a great weekend
Got lucky on another one Tom !! My luck will run out one of these days though. LOL. Have a great day my friend.
Tractorman, you're awesome!
Oh, I'm sure the Missus would present an argument to that !! LOL. Thanks for the positive comment and hope to see you around again.

@@tractorman4461 Wow! I can't believe you've done more to try to break one than our "summer hires" !!! 🤣🤣🤣
👌
Thanks for watching Tony. Quick and simple job today !!
👍👍🚜
The hard part was removing the loader for the service without it running. LOL No biggie though.
👍👍👏
Good morning Tony. I hope you have a great day my friend.
any new old ones
The most recent was a Massey Harris 44 Special that really was only a regular 44 with a Special sticker. I'm always looking though....

That Kubota is easily bleed compared to my experience with Massey Ferguson 1100 model year 1972 with Perkins diesel.
Oh they can be an aggravation to bleed for sure, though I've got no experience with the MF 1100. I've got several others that have to bleed individual injectors and if you've got a weak starter or bendix that won't engage it can be REALLY irritating.
