Massey 1155 hydraulic repair part 2, splitting the beast!

Today I’ll get the 1155 split to inspect the pto/charge pump shaft and couplers that are common to go bad on these tractors

[@Don_ECHOguy]

Good stuff and brings back some memories from years ago when I helped my Uncles from time to time who farmed together. One was a MF175 and the other a MF1085, both had to be split because of hydraulic issues and the 175 also had a Multi Power problem... a some what painful process, but not bad there was three of us. For a one man show like yourself it looks like you got a handle on things and going about it safely. Was nice to see so many Massey's in one place... good vid!👍

[@ShainAndrews]

That cat is something else. LOL Man talk about pucker factor. Hats off to doing that solo with a slightly less than ideal setup.

[@dellhell8842]

Great work for one person alone. And great narration. A pleasure to watch.

[@zomaardan]

Cant wait for the rest of the job. And what a skill to do this alone. Fluffy is a star in this serie.

[@edic2619]

I like the yellow trolly. Sure seems like a great tool for this big job.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Definitely makes it a little easier 😉

[@billlloyd9142]

Glad you found the problem, gonna have you a good tractor when your done.

[@johnwesner3935]

Hey JT, regarding always blocking the wheels when jacking and separating!:( When the guy poured my shop floor there was some confusion as to the use of the space. He pitched the floor 4" over 24'. He said " no water will collect on this slab"!! He was right, nothing stays on the floor. I chase sockets that are heading for the door! I almost lost my wife's AWD car when I jacked up the front thinking it would stay in place. No! I finally stopped the rig by turning the jack just as it was going out the door. It hadn't started moving until I was at the side to put the stands under. Also, love your rolling stands and track! Great idea!! Thanks JT!

[@gusbartling4020]

You should do a equipment tour of everything you have. Also your cat is awesome.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind for a future video

[@ano1680]

that'd have to be a mini series 😆

[@LolaBgcps]

Good idea. And I agree, the cat is awesome.

[@tommyknightly1659]

Just came across ur channel. Have restored Mf 165 already and gonna tackle 690 multi power which are hard to find, the cab needs tlc but all dere but mechanically running perfect. Love the Massey. Great channel and great work

[@aidanquinn5498]

Had a 690 great tractor in there day. The cabs turned to dust,

[@glennschlorf1285]

Your inspiring me to buy a broken MF 1080 with Hydraulic issues

[@charlietanner6211]

1080 has different hyd system altogher than 1100series

[@edic2619]

I never knew a big tractor like this splits in 1\2. Pretty cool. Great video. Thanks.

[@plumber802]

I gave you a thumbs up for being FEARLESS!

[@tonybunch543]

👌 You are making progress!! Good luck

[@vernegriffis5457]

Nice job JT thanks for putting these videos together!!

[@ejf141]

It really looks to me like the root of the problem was the snap ring on that shaft. Once it came loose it allowed the shaft to slide back so that it wasn’t fully engaged with the coupler. Then it stripped the splines because it was only in the end of the coupler.

[@chadtosh6831]

I’ve got an 1155. Hope I never have to do that job. Lol 😂. I did get the hydraulic pump rebuilt. Had to pull the rad and such.

[@MasseyDave]

Good efforts , just looking through some of your back catalogs over vids 👍👍 Massey Dave 👍

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks 👍

[@nvrst]

Clever lightweight parting dolly!

[@cg41386]

What a gorgeous cat

[@paulhudson8321]

We’ve always had mostly Massey tractors. My dad bought a 135 in 1967 and I still have it. I bought another 135 and it needs a head gasket. My brother and I have had a 3090 and an 8220 and a 375. I bought a brand new 5711 last year and this year I bought a nicely restored 1150 V8 . It seems used tractors are brining record prices at auctions lately especially ones in decent shape. I don’t have the mechanical know how to do what you do. I’m going to take my other 135 to the dealer to get the head gasket done.

[@davelaman259]

Love the progress!

[@johnshanahan9322]

Fine job on the 1155

[@dewaynemartin6437]

I admire you working alone…..I never got much done waiting for help.😉

[@44place85]

Nice work!

[@WalkerAdventures]

Hell yea JT looks like you'll have that thang slammed back together sooner then later

[@markgottsleben1063]

That's definitely a big job but you make it look easy even though it's not.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Just gotta go slow 😉

[@jaybauer5619]

When you are done working on massys for the day you definitely need a beer!! Or any project for that matter!!

[@Cakee7]

Another awesome video!

[@gleanerk]

That’ll work right there ! 👍🏻👋✌️🇺🇸!

[@timmywarren2349]

Very good Video 👍👍👍

[@bfields1448]

I had a friend rewire my Massey 285 it was terrible, take care of her and she'll take care of you

[@brianwestveer9532]

Alot of work, be careful ,

[@midcoasttractorservice9182]

I recently split my Massey 1723 sub compact. Okay technically it wasn't a split but I pulled the rear end out.

[@zachdrummond1457]

I am getting ready to do the same job on my 1155, where did you find your splitting stands?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

It was an eBay special

[@terryj1196]

Would you ever consider doing a video on the wiring of your 1100? I have an 1130 that I need to rewire and their is no harness available anymore

[@charlietanner6211]

pretty easy electrical system use i wire alt helps get a wireing diagrm put in circut breakers at starter instead of the old fuses they caused a lot of problems may be able to0 find a good harness at trac salvage place

[@narisse89]

well done i just dont no haw you can do it thaks chris england

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank You

[@johnswagart7857]

Hi JT, I'm from Michigan. I have an1155 it has eaten up 2 used charg pumps it has metal in the oil. The service shop can't seem to fix it it has a good motor and is pretty clean overall. I also have many extra parts for it.I can't afford to put any more money into the tractor, would you be interested in it?

[@zomaardan]

Awesome upload

[@matss3815]

hello have a 1135 on which the diff lock has broken we have got hold of most lambs but lacks a gear in the diff it cannot be obtained in Sweden Do you have any advice on where to get it in the US? Mats from Sweden

[@prevost8686]

👍

[@usczechfarmer1947]

nice work mann !

[@chrisnance3852]

Love your video where you from

[@petergardner2334]

good job done👍👍

[@johnwesner3935]

Hey JT, after I watched the video and thought a little, I remembered you saying that that snp ring wasn't doing much good. Is that snap ring supposed to keep the coupler at the pump from sliding back on the shaft and disengaging the pump? The couplings looked worn but I didn't see either one slipping. Not questioning your diagnosis, just curious!:) I love learning!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

that snap ring is meant to keep the front splines in the hub at the flywheel. it is entirely possible that the shaft slipped back a little, causing it to slip. in the first disassembly video I spun the pto clutch basket and it was slipping on the teeth quite a bit. in the next video I’ll explain it better and show a before and after 😉

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Did you make your splitting cart and rail or buy it? Do you still have your 1805 from intro? We had one years ago ran really good, previous owner moved remote levers from dash to right of seat. We took out the dog bone between the motor and transmission and added a drive shaft. Wonder where that old beast ended up. I’m in southeast Michigan.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I bought that on eBay. seems to do a good job. I still have the 1805, there are several videos on my channel about it. even built a shaft like what you had on yours😉

[@DjRobalx]

Put in a new clutch ?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I’ll do a rear main wile it’s apart, but the clutch is in decent shape yet. Gotta save 500 bucks where I can 😉

[@dormin9795]

What brand splitting rail is that?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I found it on Amazon. I don’t remember the brand, but it is a 10000 lb. I’ll have to look at it again

[@nicklovell8148]

I think that you’ll find it’s a Cummins...

[@bfields1448]

I like your puffy quizy! Lol

[@thevox1075]

I didn’t know you had an 1155, too. How does it hold up RPM’s under a heavy load?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I just got the 1155 a couple weeks ago from a junk yard, so honestly I have no idea how it will pull 😆. There’s a will it start video about two up the list on my channel from when it arrives at my place

[@conmanumber1]

Can you personally inform us what brand of wrenches and tools you use on these jobs?. I prefer Gearwrench.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I have a variety of brands, mostly harbor freight, but lots of atd sockets and some Wilmar stuff when I need a single tool for some odd job

[@jjsaj7938]

nice videos, looking for 2 MF tractors , let me know if you are selling or know someone who is. thanks

[@jsimm4587]

Just as well get a shaft also !

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I decided to get that also. Might as well, and it’s a little worn

[@jsimm4587]

@@jtsbarnngrill6873 can’t wait nice tractor when your done .

Fluffy! 😻

[@charlietanner6211]

my 1100 went ocer 10xxx hrs befoe splines gave but this is common on an almost perfect tractors 1135/5/1100 275 /165/150/135/50/202 bull long live the mf line i wonder what oll harry would think now at what he started

[@ronzezulka6646]

If yer in there,,,,new

[@dsp11000]

Changed that coupler on an 1130 once , seemed like the worst part was draining the fuel tanks other than that it was pretty simple

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Those tanks are a PITA lol. I actually think it was easier on the 1155 than it was on my 1100. The tilting cab helps a ton
