[@Lucerne12]

@@comodice905 Very few people actually use latex gloves when mechanicing in the real world. Lots of videos show gloves being used as a "feel-good", "politically correct" gesture, but, in practice, they are cumbersome and unnecessary.

I learnt a lot. Thanks. You are quite a pleasure to listen to. Question ⁉️ does this repair work on a massey Ferguson 178?

[@barrynamaka7419]

I’m a retired shop teacher /farm boy here in Cdn. I’m left speechless to see this girl nail down some serious knowledge!! From all the poor educational tutorials on you tube, this channel has given us hope that people can teach it right on line! Keep slamming those vids, wow!

[@user-lc2tv1dv2e]

The prettiest and smartest mechanic I ever seen

[@dukeman7595]

Outstanding Rachel, you are indeed a knowledgeable mechanic. I would like to have half your ability. Thank you for a great video

[@rodcheckalski477]

Rachel does it Very Professionally,Thank You Rachel. I have a MF175,I have Aux. & PTO problems so how similar of testing & fixing is it with my MF175? Thank you,Rod Checkalski/[e-mail]/7156424316/WI.

[@rogercarrico4975]

Wow! Very impressed with this video. Fairly complicated repair. Throughly explained. Even detailed different options one might want to do. Excellent, excellent job! 👍

[@kensharp2453]

Your knowledge and mechanical ability is amazing. Watching you work seems to be so natural to you that I do not see how it could possibly be choreographed. Well done and I am a new fan.

[@billsmith8238]

Hi Rachel your so smart & work so hard I truly enjoy the videos

[@68mustang90]

Far out a young lady that knows alot of stuff. And a good amount more than most of us blokes. This is refreshing in this day and age. Well done to her and we'll done to her teacher. 👍🍻

[@ginolabarbera2056]

Wow what a great video! It is so good to see a woman who is so comfortable and so knowledgeable about a rather complex piece of machinery. Rachel’s delivery style is so easy to follow. I am never going to be scared to repair my 35X hydraulic pump again. Rachel you are the best!!

[@BulletproofPastor]

Rachel you are evidence of hope for the future of our country. I have a MF 2135 With great hydraulics but I watched every minute of your video. Your video is perfectly edited with no drag time watching repetitive actions and your instruction is both correct and to the point. One of the best I've seen on KZbin. It also doesn't hurt that you are easy on the eyes. Please accept the complement from a grandpa who admires your upbringing. I'm sure they are very proud.

[@stevegifford9989]

Thanks Rachel, what a fantastic video, brilliant camera work and description of how to carry out the tasks in a clear and concise manner. Thank you.

What a great video. I am a heavy equipment mechanic and have sat through lots of training videos. Yours by far are some of the best. I have a ‘40 something Massy 35 and I need to fix the hydraulics, was looking for some info and found your page. Thanks for some good tips.

[@mark23487]

Rachel, WOW! What a great mechanic you are! This is the best made tutorial I have seen in a very long time and I learned a lot from you that is nearly identical to my Massey 240. It needs a lot of hydraulic work and now I think I understand how it works. THANK YOU!!!

[@1N8BEING]

I second allow that Rachel! Thanks for the excellent video!

[@Phantomthecat]

Great video. Wish something like this had been around 20 years ago when I did my first hydraulic rebuild in my 35x, but I got there and it’s still going, but I made a few mistakes along the way that this would have helped me avoid. 👍

[@mauriceupton1474]

MF 35s & 28s were very common in New Zealand farms. They were so reliable just about every NZ farmer either had a 165, 135, 35 or Ferg 28 at some stage. In the late 1970s I would drive dads 35 petrol to cut, tedder and bale 80 acres each year driving a pto driven 280 New Holland baler.

[@heavenlymachining5674]

I'm glad to see others who are trying to keep the older tractors going. It helps to keep the prices down, and the EPA out of farming. I own and use several older tractors myself. We regularly rebuild tractor parts in our machine shop. Here is some helpful resources, for those doing tractor repairs. Case, John Deere, and Agcoparts books, as well as Heavenlymachining. Subscibing to you.

[@ronfry3324]

Good video. Very impressive young lady. My only issue with this is it appears you are reinstalling everything dry. Orings should always be installed with some kind of lubricant as well as all the pistons. Everything. It makes things easier to put together and helps keep down any damage from dry parts when there isnt any oil flowing yet on initial start up. Other than that great job. Great to see someone young with this much knowledge on farm equipment. New or old

Was curious - since most people don’t have access to the special tools that were used to adjust the linkage on these tractors (as well as set the nut on the draft spring.) How did you make the adjustment without the special spanner wrench (if at all?) Keep it up! I’d love to see more Massey videos.

I would clean it before disassembly.but I guess we dont all have a pressure cleaners, and i would have a rag in my pocket to wipe my hands with, trying to hang on to slippery parts is not good when you could just wipe your hands to keeps them free of oil. it's a simple thing but if are doing this for a living you wouldn't even think about it.
