Really enjoyed this. Lovely useful tractor with lots left to give and your editing style is also great 👍

Interesting work👍🏻❤punjab Pakistan

[@woodlandwrench]

Thank you ❤️

[@erlingnorheim6714]

Interesting! I did exactly the same steering refurbishment (change of steering cylinder, oil pump, king bolt, bushings etc.) on my MF188 2WD

[@woodlandwrench]

That's awesome! I reckon it's pretty similar to the 165. Thanks for the comment, and for watching of course ❤️

[@erlingnorheim6714]

@@woodlandwrench Exactly the same 🙂

[@johnmccrank7170]

Im guessing your Swedish , just by the lilt in your accent, enjoying the video, never seen 165 4wd before .

[@woodlandwrench]

Almost! I'm from Norway, but to most people we sound very similar when speaking english. Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for watching ❤️

[@bfields1448]

Yea from America here, never seen a 165 4x4 before. I got a 65 diesel 1963 2 wheel drive. 4x4 more common in UK than America back in 70s.

[@kcphillips1000]

There was probably a hydraulic pump fitted to the front of the tractor where the spacers are positioned . This would have been to power a heavy duty front end loader and was driven directly by the crankshaft . Most agricultural loaders are powered by the tractors internal system . Your 4wd Massey 165 has probably been fitted with a HD loader at some point in its life .

[@woodlandwrench]

Oh that's very interesting! I was curious as to why there were spacer nuts, looked very DIY to me. Makes sense if they removed something that, as you say, was mounted there at some point in time. Thanks for watching! And also, thanks for your subscription, it means a lot to me ❤️

Are you the same guy who built the stone crusher? I have liked and subbed anyway. Good film, anyone who fixes up old Fergies is ok by me.

[@woodlandwrench]

@@TheGrimReaper1 You're probably thinking about m. bjornstrom - A swede who built a homemade stonecrusher, great channel. Thank you so much! ❤

[@TheGrimReaper1]

@@woodlandwrenchthank you for taking the time to reply, appreciate it. Are you able to get another grill for your 165 or have you got it somewhere. I am sure the tractor would feel prouder and work much better with a new grill. I think it would be too hard to make one the same.

[@woodlandwrench]

@TheGrimReaper1 Yeah, it didn't come with one when I bought it. I think a grill is about $100 new, which is decently affordable, I think. I'll probably buy one for it in the not too distant future 😊 I'm getting a lot of heat in the comments for not having it on there, which is definitely understandable 😄

[@mateobosnjak5623]

Hey bro please help i have mf165 like you and I want to turn the manual steering wheel into a power steering wheel, so I'm wondering if the power steering wheel needs an orbitol or something similar on the steering wheel head, or is the energy transferred by pushing the link into the cylinder in front?

[@dadaautoengineering]

Good tractor 135

[@woodlandwrench]

The 135 is great. Mine is a 165 though. I had a MF30 a couple of years back, that was an interesting little tractor. Thanks for watching! ❤

[@SoniaSouty-td1ik]

Un super travail, je possède pour ma part 2 MF 1080 4rm esque de ton côté pourrez t'ont avoir de la pièces ??? Merci à toi

[@josepinto9416]

Salut, je possède 2 Massey Ferguson 1080 en 4rm par contre sa fait maintenant environ 6ans que j'ai commencer la restauration par contre je recherche quelques pièces par contre peut ont avoir des pièces neuves comme toi ??? Merci à toi super MF 165 que tu a 👍👍👍👍👍

Sorry, I don't understand. Thanks for watching ❤

[@lyndonwilliams268]

Come on bro bro. That tractor needs a little more love what you is giving is not enough

[@woodlandwrench]

She has good things coming! Stay tuned 😊 Thanks for watching ❤️

[@lyndonwilliams268]

Bro bro you should clean all those parts up and put a little paint on them to stop them from rus

[@woodlandwrench]

Yeah, I'd like to one day clean, fix and repaint the whole tractor, but we're looking at about $1500 and days of work to do that. I still might do it in the future, we'll see. Firstly, I need to get a new grill on her 😅 Thanks for watching ❤️

[@BloodHoundDiesel]

You don't want to hit in to new ball joint ends with hammer. it might damage the joint. ofcourse this is tractor so little slack in steering parts are no problem, but with the cars you don't want to do that.

[@woodlandwrench]

I wasn't able to access the nut with an impact driver, so I resorted to tapping it with a hammer. I don't think I damaged it this time, but it's good to know for the future, so thanks for the information. And thanks for watching ❤️

[@BloodHoundDiesel]

@@woodlandwrench i see that. and its okay. You could use clamp to press it tight. :) Nice to see those old machines running.

[@richvandervoort2950]

If you want to strengthen the front casting replace your spacer nuts with a flat plate with tight holes. You should probably also bush the holes in the existing plate so those holes are tight as well.

[@woodlandwrench]

@@richvandervoort2950 Thanks for the tip, that's great idea actually. I might look into that. Thanks for watching! ❤

@@woodlandwrench Haha, born in 1994 as well then? 😁 Just found your channel, and i really like your way of making vid's, meaning the cutting/editing and how you manage to make progress and still have quite short videos without me (as a viewer) loosing interest. And ofc good content! Subbed! /R

[@woodlandwrench]

@YesterdaysMachinery Would've been funny, but I am a bit older, manufactured in 1991 over here, hehe. Well, thank you for the kind word (and sub). I am truly honored! I still have a lot to learn about youtube and editing.

[@mikkel1249]

oil change on a 100 hours was because the oil wasent that good back in the day , it was not unusual to have an overhaul at 4-5000 hours . theese days oil you schould have no problems dooing 250 hours or as you do ewery 2 years . Ivan from Danmark

[@woodlandwrench]

Oh, that's a great point. The manual is indeed from the late 1960s, and a lot has probably changed since then! Thanks for watching, neighbor ❤️

[@farsalah]

Is it possible for me to get the opportunity to work in tractor repair and metal turning?

[@woodlandwrench]

Sorry I don't have any job offers.

[@Johndonvan861]

Was she manufactured 4wd or home modification?

[@woodlandwrench]

She was imported to Norway as a regular 165, then rebuilt and sold new as a skidder. I have seen a few of these around in Norway, but I don't reckon there are many left. I do not know the name of the company that build them unfortunately. Someone told me that the front axle is the same one they used for various military vehicles, modified to fit the original MF front axle mounting bracket. I did not install it myself, but you could. I know there are aftermarket 4WD kits that will fit various old tractors, including this one. Hope this answered your question adequately. Thanks for watching :)

[@Johndonvan861]

@@woodlandwrench thanks for replying

[@colmanlong1032]

Very interesting video, what is the transfer case,would love to know if there are 4wd kit for DB 990.

[@woodlandwrench]

@colmanlong1032 I'm not sure about the exact part number. There probably is a kit for you, at least one that can be modified to fit on your rig. On this tractor, it's mounted in place of the service hatch on the left-hand side, where you would normally access the hydraulic screen filter. Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@job38four10]

You must spent 3k in repair cost, so are you so far off the beaten path that you have to get packages at the nearest store 2 hours away or is there no FEDX? So I see how you have so much floor space, your door in on the side, I couldn't do that on my 26'x36 garage, my doors are on the ends, not sure if makes a difference or not, but sure does look like you have lots of room...... Did you find lost snap ring yet? I'll keep an eye for it incase it flew over here, or you threw it over here.............

[@woodlandwrench]

Haha, yes, the snap ring may very well have flown over there 😆 We don't have FedEx in my area, but we do have others that will deliver to a home address. Yes, there's decent floor space. The building is ok. In a perfect world, I'd make it slightly longer with an extra garage door where I could park the new holland tractor. But I'm very happy with it regardless. Thanks for the comment, and for watching of course ❤️

[@asdtop1284]

Great work, but you need speed and an old assistant. You will hurt yourself while working alone

[@farsalah]

Good evening, how are you? May I have a job opportunity with you?

[@HomeMade.atv.]

why didn't you make the hydrostatic hydraulic steering a bottle in the front double action with a hydraulic steering head and a hydraulic pump and upgrade the tractor to become more modern and easier to drive and you preferred to repair all this provincial construction

[@woodlandwrench]

Because to do that proper is much more expensive and time consuming. Would be a nice upgrade though. Maybe next time it breaks 😊 Thanks for the comment ❤️
