INCREDIBLE RESCUE: Massey Ferguson 1150 SAVED from the Crusher! Will it ROAR to Life?

JT's "Luck" is self inflicted... full time job, family, part time farmer, part time mechanic and restorer... not many could keep up. A good role model. Kudos to JT.

[@danieldemers365]

Great job

[@DarrellCummings-zd6ir]

Howard's inc in Mt Hope Kansas might have the pieces for your front on the 1150. Great find but I don't like the V8's

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I appreciate that 😊

[@brianramsey4097]

The startled look on your face when that thing started was great. I guarantee you. Somebody bought a farm had no idea what that was. And the first thing to go in a junkyard are the tires. I'm so glad you got what you want. Nothing's better than buying something out of a junkyard and finding out it runs. Been there, done that great content j. T keep up the great work. Looking forward to what you do with it next.

[@LukeLong-oi4uc]

When I was 16 in 1985 I was looking for a bigger tractor to do tillage work and I found a 1150 for sale in the classified section. It was dualed up and had a factory dog house type cab, but it was a pretty straight machine. The reason I didn’t buy it was that it had a ton of un burnt fuel running down the outside of the muffler. She slobbered bad. It might have cleared up being hooked up to a plow pulling hard, but then again it might not had. They wanted 4000 back then and I only had a 5000 dollar line of credit from the bank here in town and I didn’t want to gamble on it. I realized that it was unusual for a bank to be giving a loan to a kid and I didn’t want to screw it up. The vice president was taking a risk on me. 4000 dollars was quite a bit of money to me back then. I ended up getting a 1135 which I still have today. I’ve been running the 1135 since 1986 and I’m now 55 years old. Nice find on the 1150. she seems to run good! 👍🏼

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! The 1135 is pretty hard to beat

[@wisgisipper6890]

Holy crap!! Fantastic find. Time for a lottery ticket.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Indeed!

[@robo919]

I find it somewhat weird that old Tractors still get scrapped in America. Here in the UK, they're basically sacred. You rarely see them get scrapped here.

[@nevco8774]

It is called planned obsolescence...

[@sstroh08]

Honestly it's rhat way here in the US too. That's why he's so shocked to not only have found it there, but be in such great shape. I don't think I've ever saw an old tractor at a scrap yard unless it's totally junk. There is tractor junkyards here though where old tractors will be put out and a guy can come in and pick off the parts he needs. Once it's picked clean they'll gut it and sell the parts they can save and scrap what they can't.

[@jayss10]

Usually when an old machine ends up in the yard it’s because she’s either plum wore out or something really expensive broke or you can’t get parts to fix something.

[@rosstheoliverman]

That is AWESOME!!! That is by far my favorite body style of the Massey Ferguson tractors. So cool!

Watching that go down the road on that little trailer gave me flashbacks to when I did the same thing with the remains of a 2255 White. The trailer started to split in half partway home. Luckily I got pulled off the highway before it broke all the way. Spent the next day straightening, welding and reinforcing the trailer before towing it the rest of the way home. Glad to see you made it with no issues.

[@fcfarms2945]

I my Lord I can’t believe it! It didn’t cross my mind when I first started watching this video, because your so far from me, but when you showed that hydraulic gauge it all came back to memory. That is my dad’s tractor that was stolen over 8 years ago. I had put the gauge on it because of some lift issues while I was working on it. It still has an open case on it even though the detective that was handling the case has retired. It would mean so much to the family to get it back to the farm and see it plow the old home place fields again. My dad bought it new when I was a kid and grew up with it so you can only imagine how surprised I was seeing it again. P.S. I’m just screwing with you. Awesome tractor.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks, glad you were messing with me. 😆

[@fcfarms2945]

Sorry I know I probably shouldn’t have, but that would be my Luke if I found a tractor like that. Enjoy your videos, you and diesel creek are the main ones I watch all the time. Im trying to get the whole editing thing figured out so I can post more. I’m fixing to get a 65 series Massey that’s L.P. Back running for a friend so he can sell it. Then brakes on my 240, hopefully I can post them.

Fantastic brother. This is the one I’ve been waiting for welcome to the 1150 club. Hard to find an 1150 anywhere. Even in a scrap. They’re bought up for parts and restoration projects. I bought mine already restored painted new tires. Mine is a 1971. It has what Massey called the pressure hitch. 3 point hitch and drawbar. Never seen one before. It was an optional weight transfer system to transfer weight from what you’re pulling to the rear wheels. I know you’re excitement. Especially when it started up with half a crank. That V8 sounds so good. The grill and nose cone probably already sold for parts. It’ll look incredible when you’re done. Love to send you some photos of mine.
