Thanks for these old Massey tractor vids got a 175 clutch is stuck gotta break it apart see how it goes.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Good luck!

Hi Lance, could it have been the loctite igniting? I believe it heats up as you screw the bolts in - maybe using the makita and it going it fast heated it up enough to ignite. Just shooting in the dark - It was quite strange...😥🤔

G Day Gordon, I pulled it apart again just to put my mind at rest and there was a bit of sand in the bottom of a hole that I obviously missed cleaning out properly so Im blaming that.

Greetings from NL.Canada ..I'm not familiar with M/F but have a chance to buy a 1964 MF 135 with loader very good condition but the owner tells me there's a problem with throughout bearing it will drive but very hard tio grt in gear PTO and front loader will operate ok also my question is will it cause further damage driving it or will the tractor have to be split to repair it!! Thanks so much for your vids watched many after considering buying this one ....some to do in my old age ...Have a wonderful weekend ....CHEERS! from OLD BEN!!

[@BundyBearsShed]

G Day Ben, I would check the pto clutch adjustment from underneath. the problem with that is a lot of loaders bolt up under there as it was an easy mounting point. If that is the case splitting it might be the go.

Thanks very much Sir your videos are very helpful in what to look for when considering buying older Massey tractor ! Wish you all the best and good health....Cheers!! Ben..

I use a short piece of chain from the pressure plate bolt hole to the bellhousing hole to hold the flywheel.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Ok I hadnt thought of that.

[@tomsawyer247]

I put a new clutch in my 65 massey but the PTO clutch slips under very little load any tips on that

[@BundyBearsShed]

Check the gap from under the tractor and see how you go.

WOW....GREAT VIDEO SERIES! I have a Massey 175 non multipower and my clutch is clunking a bit so I assume it is just a matter of time before the clutch needs replacing. Your videos have made me more comfortable in tackling this project! I am great t taking things apart but putting them back together is another thing!! So I have decided to make video like you with hopes of not mucking it up! *****I had something strange happen last week when I was dragging trees...I was running in high gear and mistakenly put it in 3rd gear and it would not pull and the tractor cut off. Realized my mistake but did it again and it did the same thing. Not sure what that is about!????? Have any clues?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Im not really sure but with the extra load do you think a fuel problem?

[@kmisercola7180]

What loctite are you using and what are you torqueing the different parts at? I have a mf65, would they be the same torque?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Any thread locker and I dont tension them just do them up.

[@kmisercola7180]

@@BundyBearsShed I'm hoping you can bail me out of a situation. I split my 1959 mf65, to replace the input shaft seals. I discovered I had to remove the lower pto cover and shaft to pull the input shaft. Seals all done, input shaft in and I cannot get the pto shaft back in. I pulled it out and found 2 needle bearings stuck in the spline and pulled one more out of the tube. Upon inspecting the tube there are needle bearings in there but not completely surrounding it. I did try the pto shaft again at it appeared to go all the way in. What are my options? Do I need to pull the tranny and tear it apart to finish this project or is there some way to get those 3 needle bearings back in place?

G’day mate looks good nice and clean I saw the smoke wear did that come from? It’s good to see you back on the tools Lance regards John

[@BundyBearsShed]

G day John, Not sure about the smoke, I re set the transport screws for a check but nothing I could see.

[@akbrakbr9081]

Nice work

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thankyou

[@chattonlad9382]

Compression ignition in a blind hole ?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah, I might pop it off just for a look and see if there is a hint.

[@JACKATTACKED]

Smoke was strange.... 🤔

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah not sure why it did that.
