Massey Ferguson 702 digger first look

Our "new" 1962 MF 702 digger, quick walk around before any work commences

I have a 203, great machine. Even better for putting JCB3c wheels on it

[@upthereds4939]

Lovely purchase mate 👌🏻

[@paulthompson8467]

That's a gem of a digger bit of tlc and she will be a great wee machine 👍

[@bluethru808]

Look forward to some more vids on the diggers, that’s how I found you.

[@dafyddmorris-si7lt]

We had a 203x and if the pump is on the front ,make sure the front axle bush is good, because if theres play you will eat pumps and the shafts that screw in to the axle, also the thing infront of the front levers is the breather

I’ve a 702 myself 1960 u got a bargain there great machine

[@paulancill9744]

I have a 702 it differs from yours 23c engine but has wider back axle (?from 65) it is certainly wider than our 3 cylinder 35, the plate between the mudguards is set higher than yours, I replaced a missing ram on the power steering but it leaks wait till you try to top it up difficult to open the top and you need a long funnel to fill it! The exhaust rubs against the bonnet because it is turned to the back to avoid the lift arm.

Easy start!!....kiss of death erratic detonation will fracture piston rings lowering compression and then totally reliant on the stuff. They never came out of the factory needing it. A well serviced engine should only need heat from cold start, Is this one thermo start? I actually have a 702 and selling back actor as I have a few diggers and not required. Was told it was use in cemetery digging graves, had an easy life. lol

[@vintagetractorollie9421]

Don’t know what you would of payed but I would want to sort the engine out as easy start is horrible stuff new fuel filters probably make a difference

[@OliverLee390]

Done the filters, fuel gauze was blocked solid, made it a little easier to start but still needs easy start to go unless its warm

[@roberthiggins6401]

That is a smashing digger/s. I know nothing about them that will help you but for the price you paid and to get all the buckets too that's a bargain and the fact it's still a conventional tractor if you took the back actor off. Would that be a grey, gold if it wasn't industrial? Can't go wrong at 1300! And other than the front loader and back actor the parts are all available. Look forward to seeing you progress with this beauty. Your not a million miles away from farmer Dan if you don't already know him? Look at his videos of the past year, he has an industrial 65 I think, could be wrong.

[@OliverLee390]

Thank you very much, its a decent little machine, yeah I know Dan, speak to him every now and again, he's got a fair old collection compared to me!

[@roberthiggins6401]

@@OliverLee390 I can see your collection growing though and you're only young. Looking forward to more from you. Good luck.
