A bit of this and that.

[@andyellis307]

Interesting stuff Fud never pretended to be a fitter of any sort someone tells me what to do I love getting my hands dirty even at 56. Good to see the internals of tractors I just checked the oil and water and jumped on and drove. Great vid.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks for watching. These old classics are lovely to work on.

[@paulthompson8467]

That was a brilliant video the 165 is starting to take shape now but I don't think the Massey Ferguson sign will down well with his lordship 😂

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I'm not sure he's seen it yet.🤣

[@bobpaterson1845]

Another great video 👍 I'm no time served mechanic but was lucky enough to be on farms with equipment of this era an get involved in the repairing of it anything from re sleeving to clutches etc, nice to see how it should have been done properly 👌👌

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thank you for watching

[@RustyGlovebox]

You have really been busy getting the Masseys back into shape. Keep up the good work and have a great 2022.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks Lloyd, and the same to you.

[@AllSortsOfStuff58]

Anyone would think you'd done stuff like this before. Some of this goes over my head, but I do find it interesting and learn all sorts. Thanks for that...

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Once or twice 😉. Glad you are enjoying it, thanks for watching.

[@mightymoo8292]

Good vid. Keep em coming

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks for watching.

nice little loading shovel at the end ......very handy for feeding around the yard , and will run on fumes ........

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Who knows, you may see it again soon! Thanks for watching.

[@Rabchog]

Great videos, it's interesting to see how stuff I used many years ago works, I had no idea, just pushed this pulled that and it did. You deserve a drink for sharing your knowlege with us and answering so many questions we never knew to who to ask.........another drink.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Glad you are enjoying it. Thanks for watching.

Good job Clarence, nice little KHD engine at the end👌👍🙂

You may be seeing more of that soon. Thanks for watching

Good video always very interesting 👍

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thank you for watching.

[@vincentwalker7134]

Just tuned into your channel Mr Fudweasel I watch the Lord and Saunders. It's good to see the internals of tractors and how they work. Your video's have been very enjoyable. I am presently doing my own tractor which for me is very daunting but I'm getting there👍👍👍

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks and welcome. Part of what I am doing is trying to show people that if I can do this stuff, anybody can. It's just being methodical.

[@TemeraireJimny]

Thank you for sharing. The steering knuckles on that look like a Jimny that has been down the pay and play once too often!

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I think it has seen its fair share of action over the years. Thanks for watching.

[@stuartpowe5577]

Really enjoying your videos Fud, really good content keep them coming!!

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks for watching. My videos are nothing without the viewers.

[@weegrant1980]

Great stuff as usual, I see the bottle collection is making good progress too

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I get a bit thirsty while working. Thanks for watching.

[@AliMackMechanical]

Happy New year to you pal that filter had seen better days lol. Hope you had a good one. 👍😀

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I know how it feels 😂. Thanks for watching.

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video really interesting.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CowfarmerDan]

Turbo filter is smaller thread, didn't realise when I changed the one on the 1200! Had to wait a while till a correct one arrived.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It's 5/8 X 18 for the turbo filter and the normal Perkins engine one is 3/4 x 16. You probably know already, but the Fram cross reference for the turbo filter is LF607. Thanks for watching.

[@CowfarmerDan]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel thanks, I just ordered the same as was already on there, a Donaldson I think.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

At risk of opening a can of worms, I'd say that Donaldson is probably a better filter. Maybe I should do a filter comparison video at some point in the future 😁

[@CowfarmerDan]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel good idea. I have little experience outside of Perkins/Agco, we mostly stick to genuine here.

[@MrBusdriver63]

Interesting Video , Clarence. Happy New Year, I hope it is a good one for you mate.From Maffra, in the State of Victoria, Australia.

Wealth of knowledge! , great video 👍

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Never been called that before! Thanks for watching.

[@oldamericaniron5767]

I have to go back and watch other videos because I think I missed something as to how that manifold preheater and excess fuel system works. I used one of those locking grease couplings for the first time last fall, worked great. Looks like you had a meeting of the minds, I’m sure it was for the exchange of ideas and knowledge. I remember having some of those 30 years ago standing around motorcycles.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I have been meaning to buy one for years. I guess Lord Muck dropped it. Well it's mine now 😂 Thanks for watching.

[@trevorpearson1832]

Thanks for the video.👍

[@RichardJW1]

very interesting as always......we have a '72 165 6sp and '78 590 8sp live pto here in the collection....looking at having a go at the 590 noisy hyd pump sometime later this year

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Enjoy it! Thanks for watching.

brillant tutorial . i have to dig into wan of these soon

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks for watching. Glad it has been helpful.

[@TheGingerGenius78]

That filter looked choice !!! 🤮 Have done the swivel pins on a couple of old Masseys not a bad job if it all separates well ! :) Happy new year!

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

And it was in back to front too so it wasn't doing a lot. The advantage of this particular axle is that it's pretty simple and fairly easy to work on. Thanks for watching.

[@theoriginalwelderpaul]

The contents of the power steering filter looks just like coronapop?! Another great video

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I thought it was more like pineapple Cresta, but then I'm just old.

[@georgedoorley5628]

it looks like the 590 is driving you to drink .................!

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It's having Fords in the same shed. Cheers!

[@johnwebb223]

Can we see you do a full service on the 590 👍

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Keep watching, I'll get to it soon. Thanks for watching.

[@Peter-Southern-Victoria-Aust]

I'm in Southern Victoria Australia, not sure if they were the same in the UK but the first Massey Ferguson 165 came out with, I think the same engine which was in the 65, it had the exhaust on the left, like the one you are working on and I think that was 58hp, then they replaced it with the 62hp version and it had the exhaust on the right side, that one is very popular down here, I know a farmer who had 2 of them with cabins in the 1970s and 1980s, just wondering, are you going to paint this one?

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

That's correct, the early ones were fitted with the 4.203 engine and the later ones with a short stroke version of the 4.236, the 4.212. I wasn't planning on painting the 165 because it's going to be a working tractor and the paintwork tells a story. The 175 however I want to do a factory restoration.

[@tattmanndann]

at 14:25 , who makes those tool bags?, they're exactly what i'm looking for.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

4 cylinder deutz air cooled 👀 good engines

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Ah, you watched to the end. Thanks for watching.

[@billupstateny9151]

Had no clue there is a filter in the PS reservoir. Should have known because transmission reservoir is always filtered .

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It helps if the previous owner puts the filter in the right way round too 😁. Thanks for watching.

[@alfiecross8554]

Just wondering if that is an air cooled Deutz engine in the wheel loader

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Well spotted. Yes it is.

[@jimgardner9044]

Keep slogging away, I am sure it will fall into place. It might pay you to give 590 a clean behind the reservoir now it's off. Don't pay any heed to that young pup you share the shed with, they are jealous of our skills, they never lived through the era and wouldn't know shite from clay if we didn't show them. (Tell him Jim in NZ said so)

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Don't worry, it's all going to be thoroughly cleaned before it goes back together. My OCD would never let me leave it dirty 🤣. Thanks for watching, glad you are enjoying it.

[@vincentmcdonnell7986]

Ok

[@OliverLee390]

I've always been told to use engine oil in the power steering system on our MFs in case the seal between the pump and the engine fails, would this cause any damage to the tractor?

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It won't do any harm to use engine oil, it just has slightly different viscosity characteristics than ATF, and the steering will be a bit stiffer on a cold morning.

[@OliverLee390]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel Oh right thank you

[@hardidax]

Well shit I didn’t realise there was a filter in the power steering have to add that to the maintenance

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Every day's a school day 🙂. Glad it's been useful.
