A new water pump for the Massey Ferguson 698

[@crimsonsunshine264]

Looks like a TB Turbo kit that’s been fitted to your tractor, made in Lancaster Lancashire with most parts including castings made by them in house apart from the turbocharger itself which will more than likely be a Holset made in Huddersfield Yorkshire. One of the other options was an Opico as mentioned by someone, they used an American made Roosamaster turbocharger.

Good evening Dan. Nice dependable tractor, and easy to maintain.

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Dan. Enjoyed watching 👍🏼

[@bobpaterson1845]

Good video Dan 👍 have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the years I drove a 698 with Opico turbo it powered a Claas Jaguar 62 precision chop forager and did all the ploughing with Dowdeswell DP8 four furrow reversible as the DP8 was a hydraulic reset it was putting the lift capacity to its limits🙄💪💪👍

[@graemebowyer4901]

You made what looked like a fiddly job look very straightforward, well done.

Great video Dan, showing everything.Thanks for taking the time to record it.

[@pauljones2633]

Great video Dan. Nice to see a bit of preventative maintenance

[@kjhusson]

Great video our first brand new tractor on the farm years ago i think it was 85 or 86 was a Massey 698T loved that tractor =)

[@davidcollingwood1262]

Great video Dan. I replaced a pump on a 390T some years ago and that took a while too 🚜🚜

[@calumanderson5617]

Thank you for the video Dan, I rather replace a water pump on a tractor than fixing a space heater or as I call it a bomb, I think Wile Coyote was the last owner. 🤔👍

[@bilko5109]

Well done Dan great video. Merry xmas

[@dougpeterson5257]

Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas and happy new year

Perkins A4 318. I’m amazed that it has lasted this long. It is probably the worse engine ever made by Perkins, even in its later, modified form which the 698 should have. Best thing MF ever did was to dump that engine and use the 236T engine instead.

[@malcolm8938]

Not sure if it's luck or treatment or combination of but some people talk of having had 1080, 595, 298, 698 for years with no trouble and some wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. A chap we knew had one with opico turbo on for years and the engine was never any bother and he wasn't even mechanically inclined.

[@rescuecow90]

Had one here and it was a cracking engine,pulled well and started a dream,shame the cab just melted away before our eyes.

[@hedydd2]

@@rescuecow90 The engine was great, when it worked. It had an exceptionally high head gasket failure rate and many early ones had poorly calibrated and timed injector pumps. What came over MF and Perkins ever to actually officially offer the Opico Turbo kit for the 595 and A4 318 engine we shall never know.

[@paulthompson8467]

Good video Dan im not as brave as you when the water pump failed on our mf 165 i took the bonnet and radiator off first as i was afraid of damaging the radiator

[@CowfarmerDan]

There's a bit more room on this one than a 165

[@johncook3817]

I had a 698t. They are a really good powerful tractor for its size . My big complaint is the body work as most 600 owners will tell you they are made of Swiss cheese 😅😊😂.

[@hubertrobinson8825]

I've heard of the ghosts that haunts the 318 Perkins but I operated a 1080 in the early 80s had no problems only thing I didn't like was the multi power transmissions and after that I had a 298 who's hydraulics were a nightmare then several 285s those I loved I'm still hoping to get a 285 or maybe a 699 if whichever comes first at a reasonable price

[@tristangibbs2351]

We had a 698 and bought a 699 later dad always recons the 698 without a turbo went as well as the 699 without a turbo. But the original 698 does have a 5.2 litre 4 cylinder engine so pretty big by 4 cylinder standards!

Jaka prędkość maksymalną osiąga ten model w rzeczywistości ? Nie miałeś problemu z uszczelka pod głowicą ?

[@abbiejones1843]

When is the massey arriving to replace that kobota . ?

[@CowfarmerDan]

It's not

[@faFsman]

Hi Dan, have you sent your serial number of the 1200 to Massey Dave for his survey? So the Perkins 318, was it in the 595’s and 1080’s also?

[@CowfarmerDan]

The 318 was in the 1080 and 595, they improved it and renamed it the 318.4 and that went into the 298 and 698.

[@Gearoid35]

Hi Dan i recently did the water pump in a 390 i took off the Radiator made job a lot easier

[@nickhill3362]

Maybe retire the 698 in the future and as her to the collection.👍to vid Dan

[@casto-]

Your 698 looks miles better than ours😆🤦‍♂. Didn’t even realise there was a bonnet catch, I have to take ours off! Nice little job done though 👍 she even sounds different with an exhaust on 😆

[@stuartsmith4014]

Good video you could do with a bench to work on.

[@farmer7229]

[@jamestucker2088]

alwas too hhappen during winter,just did my 390s water pump yesterday

[@patrickaherne3598]

How many hours does she have on the clock?

[@CowfarmerDan]

Somewhere around 8000

[@chrisegan327]

[@CowfarmerDan]
