Our boss hired a 4WD 178 back in the 70s. Seemed a very big tractor after 135s. I loved it. It was unstoppable. Ours activated the 4WD engagement using a long lever that came up to the dash.
That front wheel does seem to have some play in it. You didn't mention if the old dirt came off the rollers without manual attention:) keep up the good work
Farmer Dan, send the steering arms etc to Snowball Engineering if they become a problem on the road, he will soon sort them out,one way or another.perhaps you could do an analysis on the steering linkage/valves etc. you have what i would call the best tractor of the era there, and Multi Power is just the icing on the cake
Love Massey tractors but I don't like the multipower transmission my son just bought a 175 multipower of course I'm trying to find a 4 speed transmission for it I'm also interested in a 1085 massey but I'm racking my brains on how to convert it to 4 speed
Yeah, fair comment sir 😊, I got to say ..with your skills etc, which is very evident onyourmachinery.... I'm surprised havnt welded a plate on theree to knock it off 😂 I remember all about that when I was lucky enough to help on a farm ....keep up the good work and videos , cheers man! 🚜...should be a red tractor haha

keep up the good work
The steering has some play in it.
Some of the soil came off, not all.

She is an absolute honey. I still like my Zetors tho
Great tractor Fan, wondering why didn't clear off the old mud first tho?.... Surely get a smoother more even finish ?? Rock on Vintage Thursday 🎉🎉
I was hoping it was dry enough to fall off.
It wasn't 😆
