Massey Ferguson 65 Diesel cold start.

its about 0 degrees F. i hate to use either on it but with the injector pump being worn out that's the only way it can be started.

[@Eddie-ev9bv]

A MF 65 should start just as soon as you show it the key. If not, injectors/pump need servicing. Instead of using easy start and destroying your engine, you should screw out the heater plug from the manifold and as you turn the key give it a good shot of flame e.g a good sized blow lamp. It will fire straight away and you will be sparing your battery and starter motor!

[@tdmjason]

Yeah most 65 unless already rebuilt are on there last legs. Compression is down , injectors and pumps need work. Plus when it's cold your also pumping cold ass hydraulic and transmission thick fluid making them crank even slower. Usually starters are lagging and electrical is never up to par to get the amps and crank voltage needed. Unless you want to spend some.major money on rebuilds a little starter fluid is not going to hurt a worn out engine already........jeeez....best thing he can do is install a block heater to help it out more .

[@zaggnutt2479]

A few years after this video was made it dropped a liner and got a complete rebuild. With new injectors and intake heater rebuilt IP and starter. Starts great now.

[@jimsum7018]

Mine has no heater. Perkins. Immediate start

[@powerram92]

Sounds like mine when I start it since we only use it once every 4 years

[@paddyrhatigan1590]

Check the Heater Plug. Shouldn't be that hard started. The 65 with a heater plug working, the first few turns of the engine 🔥💥 🚜 💨 The starter seem not to be turning over quick enough.

[@omercelik2210]

fuel pump end the injections are finished.ı have one of this tractors mine starts very guickly .

[@davejohnson2937]

glad mines not like that couple cranks n its off even when 25 degrees out.. never used starting fluid on it..

[@zaggnutt2479]

Back then it was so worn out it was a miracle it started at all. It was rebuilt a few years after this video was made after it dropped a liner. Now it starts super easy

[@kcphillips1000]

You might consider parking it the other way around the next time you put it back in the shed. That would help a lot

Not all cylinders are firing?

If it is a Perkins Diesel, have the throttle lever at idle. With a good battery, my about 1969 model 65,, high row crop, with that Perkins, will start any time, cold, or not, the first couple of turns, no either. I don't think it has a manifold heater and know it has no glow plugs, that I have found. Starts better than any of my gasoline vehicles. It doesn't like to start, first time, if I give it any throttle, though.

[@zaggnutt2479]

It's a 4.203 Perkins. When this video was made the injectors and pump were just about shot and the rings were worn, between the fuel system and low compression it was very hard to start, we rebuilt it all since then and it starts great now. Unfortunately the wheels rusted out and it's sitting on blocks waiting for time and money to repair the wheels

[@wmden1]

@@zaggnutt2479 Great. I think mine is a 1960. I has never had the engine worked on, as far as I know, and it uses no oil. It was abused, before I acquired it, at least to some degree. I never saw them change the oil, or replace the filters for the 20 plus years I saw the tractor working. I am amazed that it does so well, under those circumstances. Perkins must be a fine diesel engine. Glad you got yours back in good shape. Good luck with getting your wheels repaired.

[@normanhill1052]

Something very wrong there. Are the glowplugs not working? Should be easy enough to check. All that white "smoke" I understand, is unburnt fuel.

[@zaggnutt2479]

It was about worn out back then. No intake heater No block heater. Injectiors and IP both worn out. Low compression, worn starter. It's all been overhauled and even with a weak battery it now lights off quick and easy

[@jackbrowne2256]

Engine very tired. Easy enough to do.a brilliant engine they are .perkins 203

[@davejohnson2937]

mine fires right off with couple cranks..

[@zaggnutt2479]

This one was about shot needed a complete overhaul. Runs like a top and starts easily now

[@aldertaker1]

How do you tell the difference between a mk1 and a mk2??

[@andrel9495]

As far as i know the mk1 was fitted with a 3 cylinder engine and the mk 11 with a 4 cylinder perkins

[@jackbrowne2256]

That 1 is mark 2 . Exhaust is on da left side.it needs a good overhaul.its v tierd

[@jamesm6024]

Different axles, engine cylinder, tin work, exhaust, decals

[@yaserfalah8011]

How many years it's old?

[@zaggnutt2479]

Best we can tell its a 1956

[@martinejoseph1644]

Il y a une bougie de préchauffage sur ce moteur !!!!
