[@martinfidel7086]

Mr Clarence Fud-Weasel, On behalf of VL Churchill & Co Ltd, thanks for the acknowledgement, and love the video it's great to see these oldies going back together.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It's also good to see you making the tools we need to give these old machines a new useful life. Thank you.

[@aidanquinn5498]

Great video, I absolutely love these videos on the 100 series Massey as they never broke my heart unlike a David brown

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Glad you like them! This 165 is exactly the same as what I learned to drive on so it's actually quite important to me too.

[@aidanquinn5498]

Great also bread and butter.

[@paulthompson8467]

Another great video Clarence I was fascinated by our mechanic rebuilding the hydraulics on our 165 years ago he had all the genuine MF tools a did it like it was second nature 👍

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It isn't actually that difficult, but having the correct tools, particularly the gauges, takes the guess work out of it. Thanks for watching.

[@johncallaghan3367]

Love your videos. Keep it up looking forward to the rigging of the system

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I think that's the bit that puts most people off doing the job themselves. Thanks for watching.

Rare internal view of rock shaft hydraulic assembly. Educational. 💯🚜👌

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

[@aidanquinn5498]

100% most would just go in with a big hammer

[@aidanquinn5498]

Bill sorry didn’t see that your update NY I’m from a framing family though now live in westchester ny

[@paulweston2326]

Hi, can't ever remember using a normal piston ring compressor for the piston, think churchill made a chamfered guide which compressed the rings as you pushed the piston into the cylinder, one special tool that every farmer will already have is the baler twine to hang the weight on the control arm when doing the settings.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

And a 3 pound hammer to hang on the end. Thanks for watching.

[@paulweston2326]

Think we had 4 pieces of scrap out of scrap box, if only people knew what went on at a Massey dealership 🤣

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Oh yes, what the customer can't see... 🤣

[@johnwebb223]

Great video can't wait to see it finished

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Me too, looking forward to putting it to work again, doing what it was built for. Thanks for watching.

[@CowfarmerDan]

Do you know if they're reproducing the setting tools?

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I think his intention is to reproduce the entire catalogue of special tools eventually. I have ordered a MF.272 ram arm gauge from him which you will be seeing soon.

[@CowfarmerDan]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel I've seen that one on the website

[@martinfidel7086]

270, 271 & 273 are within the development stage at this time, we are also currently going through one of the lid lifting tools but the part number alludes me at this time

[@CowfarmerDan]

@@martinfidel7086 that's great news, I will keep an eye on the website.

[@Tubroos_Bz]

@@martinfidel7086 This is excellent news - much appreciated!

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

Thanks for the explanations.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks for watching. I hope it is helpful.

[@patkelly7999]

Good stuff Clarence, You know Your stuff, fair play👍🙂

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks!

[@patlydon519]

Great technical detail

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thank you. I hope somebody finds it helpful.

[@patlydon519]

It actually filled in some blanks for me as a hobbyist, and on a budget.thank you

[@bobpaterson1845]

All startin to make sense to me now thanks 💪👌

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Glad it's helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@billupstateny9151]

Suppose if you were to inadvertently video the item that Mucker has teased as the next big surprise, we might find you floating in the Great Ouse River, or some such similar fate . 🤔

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It's more than my life is worth 😁

[@charleshart6992]

Very good!

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks for watching

[@richardcowley4087]

What did you decide upon for the 175 ? I thought about £7000 to restore

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

As soon as the 165 is finished, I'll be making a start on it. I have collected quite a few parts already. Wheel and front axle parts are proving hardest to source. I think your estimate won't be far out and around 100 hours of work.

[@richardcowley4087]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel i used to restore TE20s, they often proved very surprising and all were never the same in costs usually around a months work and as much as £2500 at the time i restored them

Show.... top.

Thanks for looking in.

Does 2x JD X 3 sunny days = 1 MF ??

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

@@martinfidel7086 I like to think so.
