Thanks for sharing! Whenever you’re having to improvise from the normal there a lot more knowledge to see! You have made my experience better. Thanks again!

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.

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

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. ...

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

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

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

[@cheaphomesteading]

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.
