MASSEY FERGUSON 1200 RESTORATION | FRONT AXLE RIPPING & TRIP TO CONATY'S TO HUNT FOR PARTS

In todays video we are back to the massey ferguson 1200 restoration with an update!!! First off we take a trip to John Conaty's in Meath to get our link arms and also find the elusive pump we are missing! They have a huge range of new parts in stock and huge variety of second hand tractor parts, see below for links and more info. A perfect trip for us on the hunt for parts. We then see what Bro and Father Phil got up to whilst me and Liv were on honeymoon in their silent movie as Bro didnt record any sound! They got the front axle washed and ripped, it's now ready to be put back in!
Hope you enjoy, any questions hit me down in the comments below, thanks for watching! G'Luck

Phil, My Father hasn't been feeling great lately. My 10 yr old son and I have watched yours videos for a the last 2 years. My Son introduced my Dad to your videos 2 weeks ago and I just wanna say a big thank you. It's unreal great to see them enjoying and talking about the videos together and picking the next video there gonna watch.... Thank You Phil and Father Phil

[@DianeD862]

Have just come home after a horrible day to watch farm Phil and Father Phil if he is around we think your all wonderful Farmers and best wishes to Uncle Ian.Good luck 🍀

[@kierankavanagh7014]

Well

[@anthonydonnelly7535]

Would have loved if you got John Conaty in full flight on the phone, pure comedy gold when he looses it, and the iconic call down the two way to “Ronan”, for anyone with second hand gear it’s the best spot around both John & Ronan know where every bolt is in that place without any computers doing asset registering, pure genius’s of men for interchanging parts as well

[@brendanwhite9799]

I often rang conaty my self he is mad on the phone and when you are up there he is as nice a man as you can meet 😉

[@desh2416]

You an father Phil are like two kids in a sweet shop. But it's great to have places like that an people who no the things you need to do a great job

[@oakchopperman]

Like kids in a sweet shop 😂 father Phil always looks happy when rummaging around tractor parts , Will be great to get it done can’t wait to see look on uncle Ian’s face hope he is doing ok ?

[@DianeD862]

What a wonderful place for Father Phil he was in his element fantastic.our favourite farmers good luck 🤞

[@brianinglis9185]

Been going to conatys for over 20 years always looked after me went to buy a grill for an international and bought me 390 . ITS A BUSY PLACE SO DON'T PHONE FOR A CHAT

[@brendangolden3674]

I remember being in Conaty’s when everything was around the field.John is some man

[@philipmason2043]

Great to see ye back at the 1200 Phil grand job getting them parts sorted 🚜👍

[@roberthiggins6401]

What a yard Conartys have and they know they have a part and where everything is even if it takes a week. Fantastic.

[@sandymcghee3328]

Can’t wait to see the 1200 finished it will be Awesome farmer Phil farther Phil noes his stuff 👍👍

[@desmondg9269]

My god Father Phil and the Guy in the yard. A meeting of two very knowledgeable minds. Well done Philip for taking us along. Never knew that a yard and stores full of, what ever you want in the line of tractor parts. A Tractors Aladin Cave.

[@Modlendingen]

Great video, good to see the 1200 again! Impressive yard with spare parts, amased you managed to pull Father Phil out of there in the end!

[@jasondavies4887]

That place is amazing, you could spend days going around everything.

[@wulliewhyte544]

That yard was like Father Phils heaven all those spares thats some collection of stuff you will have to get that 1200 going so uncle Ian can get a shot if it.

[@mistaken_stranger8343]

Great to see you back at the 1200. It will definitely be worth all the effort when it is done.

[@seanlenehan7574]

Super video again Phil and father 👍🌟👌

[@markallen6961]

I think the last of the 1200 were built with wet brakes,thanks for the videos👍

[@stubuddle5561]

What a place I would be there hours Some lovely gear. As below kids in a sweet shop. Love the videos Phil And dad is a very Top man you need to learn his skills. Keep them coming mate.

[@adriansheehan360]

Goodman phil, another good video, great yee are in middle of getting the 1200 going, great that you are managing too get the parts, will be great too see it in the field, dont be putting pressure on yourself we no your busy at slurry contracting and looking after your cattle.

[@johnosullivan1342]

Great to see more 1200 footage

[@Gearoid35]

Nice video Phil that breakers was awesome

[@eamoncassells1658]

You were very welcome to the Royal County!

[@johnsweeney3060]

Interesting video, the ripping is always the faster process, still you’re making progress finding the bits…

[@eamonnleonard9162]

Hi Phil, your trip to John Conatys brought back memories. The last tractor part I bought of John was a front hub for an 8045 zeter crystal. Father Phil would have been around 14 or 15 years old, so that is not today or yesterday. Come to think of it I better check my caravan hubs I will soon be heading south to escape the heat.

[@brendanmorley4341]

That's a great place for parts😲

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Connaty’s is a savage spot, that store with the shelving in the big stone building looks even bigger in real life.

[@brendanwhelan7972]

Can’t wait to see the next video of the 1200

[@haroldjones4309]

Great video Phil👍

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video Phil Conatys is some spot I got many a part from them Ronan knows his stuff how is uncle Ian hope he’s doing ok

I find myself liking your videos before i even watch them

Interesting video. That will be some machine when its restored.

[@jamesholland7473]

Great video Phil on where you source the parts

[@paddyshortall9604]

Father phil is a legend

[@Dave-jm5yo]

Good progress. I'd say the tractor wud be on the limit with the 5 furrow. Didnt realise John Conaghty done as much breaking. Great set up.

[@betherz6858]

Nah not a chance enough weight enough power will walk through it if she’s mechanically sound

[@Dave-jm5yo]

@@betherz6858 does he mean 5 furrow reversible? I didn't think the lift and back end would handle it. A conventional 5 furrow would be no bother.

[@betherz6858]

@@Dave-jm5yo Pretty sure it’s a semi mounted one so he doesn’t have to lift it but don’t quote me on that

[@andypreston6899]

Do you need to have the pump rebuilt, seals etc before fitting?

[@agoodbluewilldo8359]

I reckon the 1200's first day out will be your biggest video ever!!

[@thomaskilpatrick8531]

I remember seeing a few 1200 carcass in burtons (tractor spares ni) a few years ago ,he might have some parts

[@patrickcormack7637]

There was a place in rathdown cc load down the road from me. We got parts for mf 165. Bearns lift arm and all you need

[@marksheridan7754]

I'm afraid Phil your memory doesn't serve you right about the check chains,they are stabilisers in your hand and they go from the outside to the lift arms like every tractor in your yard

[@johnearle6667]

Good video Phil , A man down here in Gorey Wexford had a 1200 and he done mole draining for my father with it with dual wheels all round , it looked like a beast , conaty is abrupt on the phone but you have to hand it to him he has the stock , do you still have to drive up the road from the breaking yard to the hay barn to pay 😂 , it’s years since I was there

[@renault640life6]

Perfect place for a build your own machine challenge that haha

[@BackyardMechCon]

I found it impossible ringing for stuff off them. You have to be in the yard. No good to me being 3hrs away unfortunately. Plenty to keep him going with that lot in the yard.

[@dylanjones1276]

Great video as usual won't do you and father Phil think about Milwaukee cordless tools is the inpact wrench a good buy

[@damienlavelle6453]

Why use not interview john 🤪

[@irvenrathburn9421]

That's a lot of parts.

[@mrrooter3630]

Ah begod I was hoping John would get a feature.

[@multipower617]

If it's MK2, 75ish onwards it will have wet brakes as standard , earlier than that is dry brakes

[@kevinryan3475]

It all takes time how’s uncle Ian doing

[@livingthedream3870]

Ya didnt interview john ???😂😂

[@PaddyGun]

cant wait for a bit of sandblasting and paint

[@russellsteele4404]

👍

[@kernand]

There is NOT a chance that Conaty's rang your dad back lol!! especially Ronan

[@eamoncassells1658]

I dunno. A 1200 might pique his interest

[@midnightmechanic5338]

Did you ever think that you mite of been the problem and not Ronan or John them men would go out of there way to help you

[@kernand]

@@midnightmechanic5338 John or Ronan most certainty would go out of their way to assist and have to assist me, two more decent people you will never meet and I have no issue with either and will use them regularly, but the chances of getting either to phone you is slim to none and John's phone mannerism's are legendry if you've stood in the shop and listened to him lol! he does not suffer fools and I respect him for that.

[@paulluke3283]

Another great video again . Is she staying yellow Phil or Massey red ? Oh didn't know Crocs make steel toe caps ? 😂😂

[@richardparkinson8651]

Will the 1200 go red or stay yellow 🤔

[@cdemo1186]

Great stuff Phil. I'd say father Phil was like a child in a sweet shop going through the breakers yard. Please God you'll have her ready to plough in April. 🤞🏼

[@timizod8966]

Brilliant video Phil, cannot wait to see her in the fields ploughing. What hp is it, I think it's 110 to 115 . Keep the Brilliant videos coming 👍

[@multipower617]

1200 is 105 hp

[@michaelmurphy6923]

Visiting the Royal county lads🟢🟡 John has everything down in that yard, we’re lucky to have him for parts up this direction

[@oscarcussen9322]

Try courtmacsherry machinery they might have something for it

How is uncle ian hope he gets a chance to drive it that was his wish

Great video. Where are they based. Conty

[@lathandixon9317]

is that conatys up in oldcastle

[@richardparkinson8651]

Father Phil has some knowledge of vintage Massey's ,I reckon, would his knowledge extend to other makes me wonder 🤔

[@kieranosullivan02]

Massey was mainly what he had, probably would know a bit about those nuffields, fords 10 series & the odd landini as he has them and were most likely fixed at some point. That would be my guess

[@bigdaviesfarmlife8568]

How is your uncle Ian doing now The last time you talked about him he was still In hospital

[@nigelhales874]

There's plenty of parts there farmer Phil just down the road from my self a tractor braker Robert Wright tractors 🚜 kent kent plenty of parts come from France 🇫🇷

[@lukagiltrap77]

You gotta take your hat off to him - whether it's pissing rain, freezing cold or both, Eric will still be wearing shorts! He's a hardy git!

[@DannyRice01]

You could cut off the balls on the arms and weld on type two hooks nearly! Would be some job. I could take my Dad to Conatys for a day trip but I'd never get him home again is the thing...

[@stephenfitzpatrick8809]

Where is this place? I'd luv to see have they parts for my 20

[@nickhill3362]

I owned a 1978 1200 and I'm sure it had wet brakes I thought the early model 1200 had dry brakes

Correct

Hi Phil. Great video. If you need any help with air intake. Ie new housing and pipes or any filters for her. Id be happy to help. REDMAC

[@jamesfox5245]

Hey farmer Phil how are things? I watch your videos and think they are great. I have now set up my own channel called Fox's Sugarloaf Farm and think now people need to see what goes on, on a Farm and the care that the animals get. Anyway I was hoping you'd give my channel a little plug as it's only new and if you don't do that sort of thing no problem I understand. Best of luck in the future. James fox
