Massey 1800 hydraulic nightmare is complete! Will it lift and steer?

Use code JTSBARN50 to get 50% OFF your first Factor box plus 20% off your next box at bit.ly/4aXLmkC!
Finally finished all the hydraulic changes in the 1800! Let’s see if it all works!

I really enjoy watching you get these old tractors running good. And getting them painted up nice. But, I'd enjoy it even more if you sold the ones you're not gonna farm with for a profit and kept improving everything around the farm too.

It's looks like it had a push blade on it from the mount in front,perhaps with those big tires on it ,it has seen some sliage bunker pit pushing and packing,,it now would work for some weight as a mount platform of a sort if you need any up in front

I like the rubber tubes you cut up for anti-buzz noise isolation on the tank mounting saddles,and straps.Looks like you might have a good runner ,just top off all the fluids and take it out and work it like it was designed to do.If that's a planetary axle in front,? I see ,,if so ck the condition of the fluid in those also first just in case a seal has leak it all the fluid out of one perhaps, as it's been setting for quite a while out of service,,pressure clean it and get your Crete poured before field work starts for ya,,nice old tractor for sure and it's cat driven.i see the number of remotes you have in the rear,ya ,I know now why you have a big tank for hydro oil ,,that machine can handle quite a multiple sized hydro cylinder driven embelment as I thought, work it some and it should quit smoking somewhat

JT thanks for the update. Sounds like she will do just fine now she don't leak. AND STEER. HOLEY MOLEY. Looks like the brakes worked pulling up to the implement so world is good, eh wot? Sounds good too. A few exhaust leaks, big deal after 5 minutes of field work ya'll will be unable to tell. She shore looks good with them big wide tires. Might need them with a damp field. Now wash the windows so ya'll can see. Now she doesn't have nearly as much window grime as I have just seen on other recent tractors, so ain't so bad as that.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I did give the windshield a wash, it squirted a bunch of steering oil on it. But got everything else working good!
