IS THIS OUR WORST PURCHASE ?

So we take a serious look at the Massey Ferguson 175 and see just what did we decide ? You get to have a 'Fly on the wall' view of us trying to make a 'sensible' choice...

[@ertlerik]

A big old Zetor, i better go order some onion rings now 🍻

[@CowfarmerDan]

It would be good to see something on a Track Marshall 90 or similar.

[@weegrant1980]

What about having a look round some of the leyland/Marshall tractors

[@MPGamingCentral]

I actually really appreciate the complete transparency on this one. One of my biggest pet peeves of all the rebuilds on youtube is nobody ever actually gets into the nitty gritty of the cost. It's always just a video of throwing parts at something till its done, then they give a ballpark number at the end that is most likely way lower than they actually sunk into it. I will definitely be watching this one till the end.

[@jimdavison4981]

Agree completely Lord Muck n The Fud you get whats on the tin no bull jobbies

[@KrisDouglas]

A tractor I think would be fun for you to have a look at would be a Field Marshall, shotgun shell start! (But you have to try starting it by hand, saltpetre is allowed!)

[@pattonm4753]

ya that would be neat too

[@pbgd3]

My opinion from the states is skip the rare birds. I found your channel on Ford 3000s and what I would call the mundane reality if enjoying these bits of yard art. I cant buy a field marshall sure I'd love to run a hot bulb diesel in a neutral idle. But. . Its not a tractor that exists in the world like ford Ferguson Massey's white brown etc.

[@mickjennings2968]

Like to see you look around a International 1455 please Mucker and since I’ve had bariatric surgery I can only do a kids portion of chips 🤣

[@North-cb2vk]

There's no bird's nest, but I think it might have been an aquarium. LOL.

[@jimclements3190]

Tadpoles in yer toolbox,🤣

[@samuelgoddard5248]

really pleased your going to give the 175 a chance, these sort of projects you do cause you want to and to a point the money isn't a factor as such. the amount of stone wall faces i get when people ask how much i spent on my diamond t and i tell them about 40K when i stopped bothering to keep a count lol but i did it because i wanted to and it will be a truck for life. hard to make money out of restoring vehicles to then sell on if not impossible in most cases any way i think.

[@islawilliams9572]

trigger's broom that was a cracking sketch really made me laugh.

[@farmerbill6855]

Like a true tractor guy, time never enters the equation. Good on y'all for fixing her up. I'll be intrigued with the progress. Honestly, I would have parted it out, with rarity comes scarce and exponentially pricey parts. But I heartily understand "I've always wanted one". To quote an ambitious US citizen "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!". Thanks Muck, best regards from Indiana, USA.

[@FatNorth1]

I'd love to see a McCormick 523 with an Agriomatic gearbox. Way ahead of it's time.

[@damjord]

Great suggestion. I've always wondered how those Agriomatic transmissions worked

[@tobystaddon6605]

If you ever get a chance to get a look at a 4wd Ford 7810, I'd be over the moon. I've no idea why, but it's my favourite tractor ever. Keep up the excellent content mucker, looking forwards to what you've got coming up!

[@turnerscorner9516]

Liken the honesty. My first memory of a tractor was a 175 with a cab with sliding door. Sold in the 80’s and replaced with a 168 and the 168 is still going.

[@alilee505]

I always had a soft spot for a big same, like a hercules or a buffalo, seeing more of the brand would be good

[@richardparton1655]

Case IH 1056 or 885 XL would be good, great vid and stay safe and thanks for all you do.👍👍👍🚜

[@bmacd2112]

Back about half a lifetime ago, my dad had a 1928 John Deere "B" model. Have you seen one of those on your side of the pond? With a 2 cylinder engine, it wasn't the fastest thing around, but it would out pull most similar sized tractors in the late '60's. I haven't seen one around these parts in years now. Loved the breakdown of costs. I would have guessed it would have cost quite a bit more.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I know someone who had a tricycle B from new. I will enquire if he still has it.

[@yorkshirerich2970]

Great decision on the 175, looking forward to seeing the progress. Tractors to go and see, I've always had a soft spot for the Fiat 1580 dt and 18 80. Just a great looking tractor. Keep up the good work.

[@Ajt1994]

Evening mucker pleased to here the 175 is gonna be restored look forward to seeing it. It would be nice to see you have look round a track marshall 155 haven't seen one for a few years.

[@buzbygolf]

What about a close look at a county 754 or a nuffield 460 made me hungry now better order cod and chips keep up the good work 😊😊👍

[@danielshah4247]

Any modern classics like 40 series Fords, TMs, 10 series Deere’s, or a county or roadless of some kind would be very interesting to see. Great video mucker👍

[@bryanlatimer5000]

An old Zetor Crystal, just to see how far ahead of the day they where !

[@bryanhambling666]

I think an old Fiat 1380 dt We had one on the farm years ago very slow on the road but there was nothing going to stop that old girl and I love my fords but I’ve got to admit the old fiat would pull the TW backwards all day long

[@iharding4161]

Really enjoyed this one. Look forward to seeing what’s next. I’d like to see one of those old Zetors with the big cabs. Can never remember the model number but I know Dad used to drive one 👍🏻

[@alexrevie5266]

Now then mucker I like your chance as you say thing as it is and you make cracking vids so keep them coming

[@tomosroberts1455]

I would love to see you have a look at a international 1255 or 1455

[@KrisDouglas]

Love that Matador engine, looking forward to seeing more of that :D

[@henrywhalley3969]

I would love to see a David brown 1690 or 1690T

[@fullthrottle1312]

I would love to see a Fendt 824 Favorit.

[@MrSirspam]

I'm so pleased you're keeping this old tractor alive please keep me and everybody else updated

[@junglistp]

Another great video. Good seeing all the true costing of stuff, makes folks like me who are thinking about getting a project think about all the costs involved with these old girls. Would love to see a video on an old zetor, one of the first tractors I ever drove

[@alanobrien1817]

I agree with this fellow totally.makes scenes to give a run down of costs involved before deciding to get stuck in.good video and like to see a super major or old zetor reviewed👍

[@tompearce9000]

Another great video mucka I'd love you to go and have a look at an old fiat 110-90 I've always loved the way they sound.

[@wiliamheadwoods]

Wouldn’t mind seeing a video on a David brown 1490 hydra shift or a David brown 1690

Great vid as usual I would love to see you have a look at a massey Ferguson 2645 drove one back in 1986,87 haven’t really seen one since

[@paulfreeman2259]

your jd doing some work would be nice

[@adriankennelly1338]

Glad to hear your restoring the 175.. Recently viewed a 1930s hanomag 4 cylinder diesel. Fine tractor. Even had a sprung front axle. One of my favourite tractors would be a mf 699. Spent many a happy hour on one.

[@mikejh321]

As for tractor to look at would love to see an old Nuffield m4 first tractor I ever drove when I was about 7 lol

[@noelcahill6707]

Put a new cab on it and do wat yer saying here in ireland 10 to 12k to sell it

[@gmartin8240]

I've always wanted to see a Lamborghini tractor (for those who don't know, yes, Lamborghini was making tractors before he made cars) or perhaps a Deutz. Looking forward to the 175's progress! 👍

[@shawnhake6115]

My grandads mate used to have a Lambo, never trust the wiring tho it burst into flames just ticking over in the yard 😂

[@nicolassales8679]

Porsche also made tractors, Laverda made combines and motorbikes. Combines were crap thought!

Wish I could remember what Zetor my Dad had on the farm, but that would be good....I fancy some fish 'n' chips now.....

Hi Lord Muck Nice one The fud weasel will be busy and if you can find one how about looking at a Fowler giro tiller have a good weekend Thanks

Glad to see u are going to rebuild the 175 tractor the good old grey fergie (any) first one I drove

[@Tuscaforge]

The first dozer I ran was a International TD14, love to reminisce with a walk around.

[@bespokefencing]

I paid £1900 for a rough MF35, threw £2500 at it to rebuild the engine, front axle and linkage. Still looks rough but at least I can another ten years of work out of it now! I don't think I'd get my money back if I sold it tomorrow! Good luck withe the 175!🤞

[@bladewiper]

That 148 engine sure perks my interest, It would make for a strong MF175. Rebuilding the 175 you will know what you have when your done. All the small bits will add up, but you know that. Should be a good tractor when your done.

[@hsagri69]

Glad to see ur going ahead with it. Be really interested to see the project going through and the cost of doing it

[@daveking1792]

Would love to see a maasey harris general purpose...loving the channel..

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

You need to go get yourself some seat time in a White 2-105 or 2-110 but I doubt you’ll find one without a plane ticket. Lol. With the price you were talking for a rebuild on that engine perkins parts must be cheap and plentiful over there. I had to get a water pump for my 7300 a couple years ago and it was 250 bucks just for the pump and gasket. And had to go clear down to an old perkins dealer in Louisiana to find it.

[@LordMuck]

Next time call me 😉

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I drove a Field Boss 150 for a summer in the early 1980s near Oxford. A few made it over here.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

No kidding? I knew there was a importer in the Netherlands so there was a few in that area and some that migrated into France and Germany. Wonder who the UK importer was? Or if they made their way across the channel from mainland Europe? Never could figure out what the draw was on the White 4 wheel drives to warrant the hassle to ship them over there but apparently somebody liked them. Lol

[@LordMuck]

I think Haylock had a 180 some years back.

[@butchknapman3939]

Another good video, interesting through out, when the task is done to hopefully be in pocket is a positive. Hope its not to old a 1953 Nuffield, first tractor I had dealing with great memories come back

[@timothykirk1497]

I love watching your videos because you always do real world work so many channels do set up or staged videos while entertaining give people false information or impressions of what is really involved when doing projects I wish I could spend a couple months working with you on some of these projects the knowledge gained would be invaluable

[@jamesbolton2183]

Deutz Fahr D7807 C. No other reason than happy memories and the smell of summer. Dust, diesel, heat and barley to the uninitiated. Forgot, how much is George charging for delivery? 😁

[@brianmeattey4151]

Great vid as usual bud .allways love the content . godbless and stay safe.

[@richardjones5255]

I have always liked 'process', i.e. know where you start and set out the steps to get you where you are going. Vitally importantly, identify the break points that will stop you achieving your end point. Your discussion clearly set that out, with good, best estimate ballpark figures. I agree, on over estimating costs and times on the way in so, you end up with pleasant, not terrible exit surprises is the way to go.

[@oliverharding9761]

The old Davy Brown tug my uncle had one years ago and as kids we thought it was a race car. LOL

Great idea !👍

[@heavymachinery2843]

I realy like all your Videos keep on wrenchin 👍

[@whitestream5233]

Good to see you're going to do the 175 , very rewarding to bring something back from being scrapped. When you have that engineering empathy , money isn't the reason, it's just about saving what once was a fairly decent tractor. All the best to you mulord.

[@Equiluxe1]

A field Marshal or Lanz Bulldog would be great for you to have a look at or maybe a Fowler.
