No, when the aftermarket turbo was fitted, it done away with the cold start when the inlet manifold was changed.

Sorry for late reply, no it's not opico turbo , not sure what make it is.

@@stuartpowe5577 thanks for getting back to me. If I ever spot one, I’d consider it for my tractor

There's no trailer brakes fitted to this tractor, but hopefully in the future we can get some fitted. The back end needs an overhaul on this tractor along with converting to oil brakes. So plenty of job's to go at.

@@stuartpowe5577 good stuff. Good to see she hasn’t been abandoned!!

It works well, the wet brakes are much better than the original dry brakes

@@stuartpowe5577 that’s the job. Have you sent the serial number off to Massey Dave?

I do yes "till death do us part" Or bankruptcy whichever comes first😀

@@stuartpowe5577 Very nice Stuart, lovely old tractor. I bought one a few weeks back and it looks very like yours, but obviously not yours. Mine came out of the forest like your 1250 looks to have been there.

Massey Dave is putting together a register of all remaining 1200s and 1250s. He would be interested in yours for his list.👍

Aye it's on my to do list to send him the serial numbers.

The other bolt came out easily yes. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.

Unfortunately I didn't get any footage in the quarry, hopefully I can get some in the future, but I'll have to get permission I would think. Many thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video.

It's got the v10 drum in this machine.

Aye! Proper old school, always puts a smile on faces!😀😀

Thanks, will maybe try that if it gives any more trouble. Was it 4 1200's you had?

@@stuartpowe5577 no x2 699s and x2 399s,have a 6.354.4 in the shed I'm looking out for a tractor to put it in.

Nice tractors, still fit for a good days work

😂😂 Definitely! You forget how slow the hydraulics were on these old girls compared to the modern tractors.

Thanks Davy, pleased your enjoying our videos 👍👍

Yes I'd say a david brown 1690 the equivalent too the 1200 mf ,would handle it better

It's been a really good excavator for me, any issues it's had have been fairly easy to repair. It hasn't got alot of fancy electrics to give problems.

Sorry yes I agree, it was recorded on a phone and it was quite a windy day. Would be better with a go pro.

No it's the smaller 4 ltr V8. I think there actually 3.9 ltr but classed as 4. They like lots of petrol!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video,they can take keeping on top of when they get a few hours under their belt.

They can fairly lucky with mine touch wood seems to be pretty good every where had to change the pulley that drives the accelerator had worn but not dammed the shaft luckily seem to keep getting build up of sugar in the accelerator which causes a bit of vibration at times mine has done 6700hrs but is reliable and goes well

Looks very expensive re build especially if the parts come from our local dealer

Very good

Thanks 👍

Thank you! Cheers!
