Hydraulic Horrors - Massey Ferguson 100 series top cover rebuild - Part 3

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

The designers of this equipment certainly earned their money. It is complex and hardy enough to work day in and out without trouble for the most part.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It really is a beautiful piece of engineering and elegant in its simplicity when you really get to know it.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Good explanation of the dash pot. Easy to understand.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I appreciate that, thank you.

[@TemeraireJimny]

More good work. Love that you are not doing a how to video in the strictest sense of step by step instructions, much prefer the how it works style with useful pointers. Thank you for sharing.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@laurencecharlton8760]

Considering the 1000's of times I've operated those levers never knew the "faff" there would be to fix one,but never known one fail!!When you think of 135's loading all day and every day through to 185's being flogged chisel ploughing for hours on end,everything seemed (looking back) abused,but that's how it was.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

When you think of all the millions of tractors made in the 100 series and the hundreds of millions of hours use these things got, the design had plenty of testing around the world.

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent update - great series of videos

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thank you very much for your support. I'm glad you are enjoying them.

[@keving2371]

Thanks for the eXplanation on the dashpot ...VERY INFORMATIVE

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks for watching.

[@billupstateny9151]

A project of interest however more involved than I would undertake on my own 👌🚜🔧

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It's just practice really. Thanks for watching.

[@JohnSmith-dq1zk]

Just found your channel and love it, I cant believe there isnt a step by step rebuild of 100 series Massey Fergusons given the amount of people restoring them. You should do the video equivalent of the Haynes manual model with the emphasis on the technical info needed to rebuild them . Now that I have given you that gem of an idea I await the many ,many videos . Seriously though, Thanks for taking the time to make these videos as they are unbelieveably helpful to those attempting to repair tractors without a engineering background. I am currently going through your back catologue and picking up so much , once again thank you.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Sorry I didn't see your comment, for some reason, KZbin decided to hold it for review. Thank you for watching and thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. I was planning on something like that when I start on the 175. Have you seen Bundy Bear's Shed at all and Cow Farmer Dan?

[@thandogama3863]

Clarence Fud-Weasel please do it. please please please. I feel like we need a series video for the later 100series a 188 or 178 or 175

[@joaquimpego-h8b]

Hello, good afternoon friend, I really liked your explanation, I can see that you understand the hydraulics of the Massey Ferguson, I have one of the 200 line and it has a knock that can only be heard when it reaches the desired height, that is, when it is lifting a heavy implement it only makes noise if you hear when it reaches the height defined by the interior lever, that is, if you set this lever to lift 40cm it lifts it up to there without making any noise and when it reaches that defined height it starts to make a beat, you get the idea that this is when it tries to balance the pressures to maintain that position exactly what you think it might be...Thanks from Portugal.

[@patkelly7999]

Good job Clarence, intricate work that, fair play👌👍🙂

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks 👍

[@paulthompson8467]

Very good video 👍

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thank you for watching.

[@gloriaboudreau3080]

Good day, excellent video but l have question about the adjustment screw on the clevis, plus the little screw on the bottom, how do you know if they are adjusted at the right position?

[@bobpaterson1845]

Always wondered how the response lever worked or didn't work on one particular tractor 🤔 now we know just a lot o years too late ☹️ great video 👍

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@ballyhoulihanagrivideos397]

Very informative and interesting

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Glad you are finding it interesting.

[@theoriginalwelderpaul]

This must have been pretty advanced engineering for it's time?

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It's still pretty clever stuff. In a while when I get to the details of draft control, the feedback and control mechanism is just so well thought out.

[@leewilbur1537]

Really wish u would have finished this one up so I could understand my levers a little better

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Part four coming soon. I have to rebuild the top cover on the 175.

[@michaeltoolan2906]

Hi Clarence I am rebuilding a 178 lift cover for the 3rd time and im taking the settings from a classic tractor mag but not sure if im going wrong somewhere can you put up the setup video please or any other advice also head is yellow so must being changed at some point lift levers are old style up to back of tractor not up towards steering if u follow . Great video thank you

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I'll get the top cover video up as soon as I can, but really there is no easy way to do it without MF272 from Churchill Tools at the very least. Most of the rest you can improvise, but MF272 is pretty much essential.

[@michaeltoolan2906]

Hi Clarence, hope your healing, thanks for the reply.I made a mf272 tool from dimensions in an old mf manual and did the setting according to manual but im still not sure if its correct or how i can be sure it's correct.I look forward to seeing your video. Thanks again great content 👌

[@Mcfreddo]

You didn't show us how you got that broken off pin on that dashpot

[@Mcfreddo]

The thing to do is take enough photos of things before one disassembles anything, pulls wires of- anything.

[@petergardner2334]

just a good video

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Why thank you!

[@TheRob2D]

on my 30 year old massey 390 the lift arms will lift up unevenly when I lift the mowing machine

[@rogerquenault7207]

Next time you assemble parts could you please put your camera in a position so we can watch you work as it would be very interesting to see the parts going together instead of an explanation of what’s going to happen and then a shot of the assembled item, it would make great viewing.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

When it comes to the adjustment part, I was going to get Lord Muck to film while I talk and adjust stuff if that would be useful.

[@CowfarmerDan]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel it would be very helpful if he will do it.

[@genemay1804]

Very informative. I’m getting ready to rebuild the cover on my 135 Ferguson. I’m concerned about not getting a good look at the linkage before I take it apart. Most of it is hidden from view. Where did you find the pictures of the linkage you show? Some type of repair manual? They are the best I’ve seen so far. It would be a big help if I had those diagrams of the linkage when putting it back together. Thanks Gary

[@genemay1804]

Does "Anyone" know what book the illustrations of the Draft and Position controls came out of?

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I use the manufacturers service manual. I'll see if I can find a part number for it when I get back

[@genemay1804]

I just now found it. Thanks for the name, there are so many different manuals out I didn't know what it was called.

[@tylerwynne8248]

Where does the little return spring hook to? I see the hole can't tell what it's hook to inside there

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

It should hook between the position control cam and the position control lever.

[@tylerwynne8248]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel Thank you

[@salurs9689]

👍👍👍~~Greetings, Venerable person. A former user and?? Thanks for your video as. but you will also be able to explain some of the special tools for MF that are used in practical adjustments, for example (upper hammer spring resistance) special tools you know?! notr case removal reaction?! ~~one working side cover settings etc" ~~you understand that heating the transmission oil is also a separate technique. They are indisputable tractors with great superior features. Precedent should no system be the same

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Thanks for watching. I will be doing a video on the special tools soon.

[@multiscaffltd6876]

Did you make part 4 setting it up?

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I hope it will be with you soon. Just finishing filming it.

[@salurs9689]

Endless thanks. ~I'm translating

[@miljanpetric5602]

Hello, I have the same problem, the hydraulics will not stop at the set height, but go to the maximum. I checked the pump and it is working. does anyone know what the problem is?

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Sounds like to control valve is sticking.

[@keving2371]

Have a question ...dont know if you want to answer ...But im working on a mf 165 6 speed ,,,,taking my pump out ...and it has another small pump bolted on top of the hyd pump ....and a hyd hose goes toward front of engine ..i had to take off to get the pump out .....What does it do ....Have seen any videos with this set up ...Thanks Kevin

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

That pump could be either for Multi-Power or for higher capacity hydraulics or both. The pipes going towards the front are from a low pressure port on the auxiliary pump to the Multi-Power spool valve if fitted and the auxiliary hydraulic filter in the left of the engine at the front and the cooler in front of the radiator.

[@keving2371]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel iTS only one 90 degree pipe and then its rubber ,,,,like a high pressure power steering hose ......Dont you have to split the tractor to get a multipower pump out ? and those are 12 speeds ? And it is gear driven off the main hyd pump

[@anthonythompson69]

My hydraulic just stop moving! I am getting oíl from the pump What else to check? I have a 290 massey brazillian

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

Control valve and pressure relief valve
