Massey ferguson 231

Cheap homesteading is fixing his uncles Massey Ferguson to 231. The connecting rod nuts came loose and cracked the oil pan and damage the block.

Crazy I just had to do the same thing with my 3904wd and 836 loader 2 days ago. Engine is expired, batteries gone so couldn't crank it over. Ended up using a pickup truck, chain, come-along and some long levers to get it done. Wish I had seen this before. Thanks for documenting it.

To bad for the Massey, what a way to ruin a good day. I hope the block is salvageable.

The good news is I don’t need to replace the block. Just minor damage. But I have to dismantle engine totally I have to change the crank. Thanks for watching Man

That poor starter motor 😂 Must be nice having a removable loader. I’m slowly trying to work on the massey Ferguson 30B at work, but it’s a TLB. the whole loader is mounted to the tractor frame. It’s a pain right in the ass trying to work on the engine with the loader on. And it doesn’t turn over, so I can’t raise it anyway. Blah.

Surprise to see that on s perkins. Still don't like how they put the power steering lines low and on the out side.

[@cheaphomesteading]

The power steering lines are always in the road For sure. Thanks for watching my friend

Hi Pete I guess my only question would be why you didn't just hook up the Hydraulics to your tractor to get it off.........Thanks for sharing. ...

[@cheaphomesteading]

My Massey 50 hydraulics is gear lube. Older tractors used to run 80 W 90. I couldn’t believe it when I first got my tractor. A lot of people have switched to trans hydraulic. I tried it And it didn’t work.my pump must be worn out a bit. It would’ve made it a lot easier if I had a tractor that I could’ve used to run the loader. but I wouldn’t want to get 80 W 90 in his hydraulics. Thanks for watching man

Awesome videos, can you tell me your opinion of the 231 with the 232 loader. We move a small round bale (800 lbs) every few days and wondered if it will handle it? Terry in Wisconsin
