Massey Ferguson 1150 Cold Start

[@ianhotson6057]

That started like a champ, always like the Perkin diesels

[@masseymannick]

Cannot beat an old Perkins! Take care of them and they’ll take care of you!

[@tylerepps3915]

Love the tractor and the perkins V8 it sounds awesome.

[@darrenmisick3493]

sounds pretty fine, those V8's had a sound of there own.

[@MikeCipperley]

I have an 1150v8 Perkins just like yours but without the cab no duels however mines got wide tires I never started mine with full throttle and never had any problems that one of the worst things you can do to a stone cold engine of any kind is start under full throttle and I've been a semi driver for over 45yrs. You'll end up with problems starting an engine that way. May god be with you...

[@masseymannick]

Factory decals right on the tractor recommend to start full throttle until it runs smoothly in cold temperatures.

I put many hours on a 1150. Traded it for a 1155. Both good tractors.

[@johngnipper8768]

Nick ,the button gives it 15% more fuel For starting .when rpm increases at successful engine start it resets the button .

chevy k10 and mf1150, the perfect team

[@OldIron2188]

IDK, my W200 can jump my 275 pretty well... silly thing has a short.

[@xade7863]

I know a man who had one of the old masseys with the v8 Perkins it blew a starter and he parked it and it’s been sitting under a shed for years the paint is in good shape but the motor is prolly locked up by now

[@masseymannick]

Mine had been parked for 10+ years when I purchased it this winter. We were able to get it free with a pry bar and haven't had to do any major repair work so far.

[@xade7863]

@@masseymannick this one has been sitting prolly 20 to 25 years and the cab door has been left open for so long that it’s full of wasps and mess so it prolly needs a full overhaul

[@edypaz9340]

I like, good job

[@jeremyswindell2330]

nice 1150

[@christanner3433]

You never ever have the throttle up on a deisel engine that's been sitting more n a hour or so, that is hard on a engine to have it rev up when 1st started, especially wen it's cold, & it don't make no difference on starting, it's not a carbreathed gas engine, & I'm a American, I dunno wut Celsius is, we go by faranheit

[@masseymannick]

Factory cold starting instructions are to start with full throttle on this one and slowly idle down when it runs smooth.

[@elephantcompany6061]

Ya that was a rough start trying to make the engine rev when it's not even firing on half the cylinders. I think wast the instructions are getting at is to give it some throttle for initial lightoff, then I would modulate the throttle just enough to keep the engine running, there is no need to be over 1000 rpm. Also, that fuel advance is reset by rpm, so your cancelling its effect once you over rev. I think these tractors had a foot throttle, I'd just use that for starting keeping it low and calm until oil pressure comes up and all the cylinders are on line.

[@pattonm4753]

What's the barb wire for?

[@masseymannick]

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking? The wiring in the cab is for the aftermarket fan on the top of the roof.

[@RomeKG471]

Why?

[@masseymannick]

??

[@LAFout-sy6gq]

[@robertbohlinger3851]

Aint pretty like a 4430

[@Corvacar]

You mean that the Red and Flint Metallic Paint is lesser than Green ? Additionally the Massey would have far more Power. I had a 4640 and was anything but impressed with it’s Power or should l say the lack of it. The Deere’s Sound Guard Body topped the first series Massey by far.
