Great video Hank,,, I absolutely love seeing these older workhorse tractors and equipment working they way they were designed too,,, thank you Hank for reviving these classics

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching!

[@markmunro4554]

44.5 horse power.❤❤❤ i just bought one in mint condition.

[@joeharris2273]

We had a 35 diesel deluxe when I was a kid in the 70s it was a strong tractor,we pulled 3- 14 inch plows with it

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Cool!

[@leoarigo3849]

Same here in the 70s my dad had a much farm in upstate ny 35 deluxe ..and a 135 diesel with multi power also

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Love the old stuff. Ther are still here and will be for a lot longer. Have a good week Hank!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks buddy!

[@deborahhunt3136]

Dad and I also had this cute Ferguson (gray) always dependable..easy for 👩mother to drive.

[@khtractors]

Best tractor you’ve had on your channel so far 😂! I have a Massey 135 and a 245 orchard model. One thing Massey had back then is ground speed pto. I’ve used it a lot to run a hay Tedder so the pto turns slow and makes it easier on the crop. Great video!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks 👍

[@johnking1428]

Great to hear an old Massey Ferguson run, spent many a day working food plots, and bush hogging ..

[@tractorhyatt7044]

That’s a nice Massey Ferguson tractor! No problems getting that one started. 🇺🇸🚜👍

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks 👍

[@1guyin10]

Dad had a 35 when I was a kid. Great tractors. The Massey Fergusons had a lot of grunt for their size. You can drop it off at the house. Just put it in the middle stall of the barn.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

10-4😬

The homemade custom bush hogger is doing a great cutting job. Masey Ferguson is awesome.

Right on. It done good

[@just_inolredneck8319]

Massey Ford and Oliver’s r my favorite tractors!

[@cianrocke9531]

It’s a diverter valve. When the pipes are connected to it, you open it and it will divert the oil to hydraulic spool

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks!

[@jameslcoble248]

Those are nice little tractors. That is basically a massey Ferguson 35. Don't believe that many had a diesel. I'd definitely hold on to that little beauty.

[@davida.p.9911]

Love those old tractors! Looks like the one my grandpa had☺ Looks like the hour meter said 5200 hours....that's a lot of work done by that old girl! Great to see her running and bush hogging again (one of my favorite things to do with a tractor!) Keep Up the great work, Hank!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

One of my favorites too!

[@lucasbergfors9446]

My first and still favourite tractor of my life is the ferguson TE 20 i love that thing and want one for real gramps has a 1969 Mccormick International 434 we will service it and someday restore it, my family got a 1981 Fiat 880 DT backhoe i love it as much as the Fiat 880 DT tractor it's original counterpart 😄

that Perkins diesel runs right as right rain and always will. No telling how many thousands of hours are on our 135 and that baby is smooth as butter.

Hank, I have a '57 MF 50, and I have not got the valve spool you showed under the seat.. Also, it needs an anti-sway bar so that mower doesn't go so far back and forth. Not trying to grip, just giving some helpful hints, .Yoiu and the family have a blessed day.

Hank just go to the Ford house and give them the Vin # and they will give you a couple tubes of touchup paint to fix your paint on the cab

[@scottmurphy9258]

That is a hydraulic set-up on there, on ours we found a 2 value remote that will bolt directly in place of what is on yours. Used it for equipment that required remotes to operate lift cylinders and the like.

The "optional" knob you're talking about on a kubota is the speed of dropping your load at the rear! It appears that's what you have too.

Excellent video Hank :) also that knob control is for your arm in hydraulics pressure release for fluid and when adjusting arms of 3 point hitch height to stop when in close position in open position can adjusting too ! Also Hank it also works if had loader on arms (cylinders on left also right pressure) to keep up or middle or middle or down ) ! Plus won't be adjusting on up and down control's to Hank :) also usefull that tap stop hydraulics pressure when engine running so don't get burned by hot hydraulic fluid to and find leaks to fast plus when engine shut down you change Hydraulic fluid filter to also bleeding system like Fuel System in Desiel fuel motor on fuel filter or injectors plus fuel lines ! Yes 2 speed high and low speeds transmission are excellent too plus double clutching even shifting too especially when traveling on roads to keep up with traffic Lol! Also that Massey Ferguson tractor need J pipe made plus circle muffler called Piglet with rain cap of that manifold Hank :) if fix Desiel motor fuel are hard lungs to breath from and get Infumezem breathing problems later in life ! Infumezem is need Oxygen to breathe and worst Asthma symptoms in lungs called Silent Killer my Late grandmother Ruby also Uncle Billy JR died from it ! Only way to keep uncontrolled is Oxygen tank like Propane cylinders of Torch type and bedroom with welders cylinders with mask when sleeping! Sorry scare you Hank and everyone but be nice information about fumes do over years and Infumezem some people get in seniors age over 70 or born with it or get exposed with chemicals!

Simple hydraulic valve on top under the seat. Called multi power. Never run it down hill in low it will free wheel and it take it out the multi power. Looks like it has continental 4 cylinder diesel.

To check the multipower is working properly poke it’s nose uphill in hi-multi depress the clutch half way and if it is working properly the tractor will not roll back flick to low-multi it should then roll back

[@PapaJ5667]

We have a massey ferguson 231s at work its mainly a spare tractor ..and bedn welm used and abused ...lol ..its still a tough tractor ....brakes suck for the most part no lights or gauges work but it still pulls a 7x14 tandem axle dump trailer like nobodies business out of the plant after being built ...but i still prefer my kubota L3301 its 4 wheel drive

[@kspletter7953]

Va,lve on top of trans is for rear remotes one position 3 point works other remotes work . That is a multi power the lever on dash gives 12 speeds like a international ampla torque, no engine braking in low on the multi power lever only in high if no engine braking in high on dash lever means multi power not working

Thanks!

What a cool old Massey. Reminds me of our old Ford 641 Workmaster. I sure would like to have a larger tractor to cut the property with. We've got a 5 foot hog behind the Ford and it cuts great I just wish it was a foot or two wider.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Yeah I hear ya. 5' is just enough to make you mad..lol

[@Trains-With-Shane]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm Exactly! I've got a Scag with a bigger deck! lol Which is what I use after the first cut of the year. Although my brother and I just brought an old zero turn back to life on our channel so that is going to get rolled into the lineup as well.

[@Trains-With-Shane]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm Oh and we gave you a shout out on the 3rd video in the series :)

[@groundupexcavation]

Those masseys like that are 3 speed hi lo in the standard version. I think that transmission makes it an 8 speed instead of a 6 if I remember right. Also that’s not the original seat, that’s a aftermarket replacement so someone was putting some work into it at one time especially with that sediment bowl and all that looking that new. The valve under the seat is for the rear remotes. So that tractor more than likely has two lift pumps instead of just one. I knew when you said Massey and diesel and saw that front end it was gonna start as long as it had a good battery. Before I got mine it set for almost 2 years. Turned the key and on the second turn of the crank it fired up. Also I don’t think that’s a homemade bush hog cause it’s almost identical to the one we have, just the hitch is slightly different. I believe it’s an old brown or king cutter bush hog. That thing reminds me so much of what I remember when I was younger. My grandpa ran his straight manifold until I was about 18-19. Not even a a small piece of pipe like that. O and if it’s like mine, it 45.4 hp. The gas versions were like 32hp. Sorry for the super long comment I got excited seeing another old Massey.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for the comment brother. I liked reading all about it.

[@thegamingender6933]

There's a reason why I'd much rather get a older small tractor for our small space with a 3-pt linkage. sometimes they are gas powered, and I'm pretty sure up here you can get a deal for like 3k or less for something like that. Of course, another reason is the price of the compacts. pretty much for what we would like it's like 14k at a ton of places, just for a tractor.
