I think it might be worth giving it a try. There was water in the Case dozer and it ran and drove, and got bought. So, i think there's hope. Give it a try, i think. Thanks for sharing, Wily!

[@DontbeWily]

I offered a price. He did not like it. As one viewer said, mother nature will scrap it for him

Hey willy if that a Perkins engine with a gear drivine water pump sometimes the water pump goes bad & leaks the water (coolant) down the timming cover & into the crank case. Really great video please be careful, would love to see you get it running take care and see you on the next video!!!

My guess head gasket or cracked block? She will run again. Well worth fixing.❤

If anybody can make it run again Wiley can I've got confidence in him working his magic

In Missouri oak tree grows 1 to 3 foot per year. On my land 158 acres I had some oak trees was at most 3 foot at the bottom.

[@noelwarner1235]

I know where there is an MF backhoe similar to that but I'm not sure the model number but it has been parked for years because the hydraulic pump went out of it it mounts on the front of the crankshaft and they said they could not find one for it

[@DontbeWily]

I am not sure if we are going to trade on it. I would have tried it but he turned down 400 offer. I know thats cheap but there is alot wrong with this machine

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video Wiley and Jacob. It was interesting. Everyone looks at things differently. My opinion after a short look over is not much left there. Water in the engine is a bad sign most often. May be some parts value there but do not see it of value for using day to day. See what your viewers thing and go from there. Thanks Wiley and Jacob. You take care and be safe. Thanks. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for sharing. Probably not many of these still operating. We thought we were going to get it bought but he turned down 400 and never cane back with offer. I am thinking those old machines running go for cheap 5k at most.

[@michaellange9728]

Wie kann man nur so eine schöne Maschine in Wald verrotten lassen?? Da BLUTET mein Herz. Mein Vater hatte auch so ein MF und ich durfte damit auch fahren und baggern lernen.

Wow , I don’t know about this backhoe Don, it might be a little too much to bring back, but your are a miracle worker 👍👍🙏🙏🍮🍮😮😮

I agree. It may have been a good thing he didn’t take my offer. Thanks for watching

Looks like it would take some top end work pulling the heads...but bet it would be a good piece of equipment for a small operation. I myself would take it on but got too many irons in the fire now. Looking forward to hearing more about this ole girl...hate to see her scrapped.😎🚜🛠️🇺🇸😇🛻🔧

It's probably a Perkins. Massey used quite a few Perkins engines. It's probably the same Perkins as what's in my uncle's MF165.

[@charlescastle5566]

Appears to be a Perkins engine Wiley. Drain the oil mix out of it and fill it back up and give it a try. From my experience you have a bad head gasket. Pull the head off and put a head gasket on it and I'll bet it will fix it and bring it back to life.

[@DontbeWily]

I made him a offer but he thought it was to low. I would not mind trying to start it. He said it was mixing water in the oil. Thanks for watching

[@charlescastle5566]

@@DontbeWily that would be an easy fix and those were great backhoes back in the day. I worked at a Massey Ferguson dealership and worked on them just because it's mixing oil and water was always about 98% of the time was a bad headgasket sometimes I would take the heas to a machine shop and get it trued up just so the gasket would have a lot less chance of leaking again. But if you get that backhoe I wish you luck my friend. If you do and need advice just holler and I'll tell you what I know.

[@willwaconsya3433]

I had a 1970 MF 30 with a perkins diesel. The machine was beat. But that Perkins ran like a top. The backhoe had a turning drum. Bad design. I prefer turning cylinders. The transmission was great.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing. I offered 400 for this sitting where it was. I would have like to piddle on it and see if i could get it to function one more time

[@user-zy9dr5tp1e]

You can fix it

That's a Perkins engine probably a cracked head but more than likely exhaust is what's to blame if it will turn it will burn diesel they are easy to work on

Wllie better vidoes than you and hank no nosence and straight to the point. But if anyone can make it run again its you . And right up your cornfield lol opps alley. Older is easier to work on tgan than the new junk .more expensive but if it lasted this long well god knows how long it will take to kill it. A different engine for it might be the cheapest way to get er done. Worthy to try it.
