MF40 Combine Pt2 - Best sounding combine ever?? First Harvest In 3 Years

In this video I help a friend out with his recently purchased Massey Ferguson 40 combine harvester. After sitting for 3 years it needed a little TLC. With all the work completed it's time to put it back to work harvesting. It's got to be one of the most beautiful sounding combines ever!

Dave you are a godend to all the broken and neglected machines you wprk on ,may the tractor and machine gods be kind to you and yours! Understanding and talent are a vertue which you seem to posess in spades and cre of the unfortunate equiptment you incounter. Whether you are formally educated on machinery or self taught thru the school of hard knocks and experience ,matters not ,but your drive and knowledge is a testiment to your graces and devotion to saving all these old machines !

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks Robert, that is much appreciated. I'm an electrical engineer by profession, and so a self taught mechanic. I grew up on a farm, so no better way to learn about fixing things! Thanks again for supporting the channel, without people like you there would be no point to producing these videos 🙂👍

Great to see these machines coming back to life

[@davesworkshop2714]

It sure is Michael! I ran it for a day myself after the video was made and it was a real pleasure. Thanks for watching 👍

[@petergardner2334]

nice to see it been repaired and back harvesting more video s of it harvesting😊😊

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks for watching Peter. I did get a small bit more video of it harvesting so I'll bring that soon.

Thanks Shay! And thanks for watching 👍🙂

Great no nonsense stuff. Good work. She did sound good 😀

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks Dan! Always good to hear people enjoy the videos! That engine does make the nicest sound. Hope to be back driving her soon if the weather ever again improves! Thanks for watching 👍

Dave the farmer, sounds about right :D

😂😂😂 thanks Ants!

nothing like the smell of fresh cut wheat, great job Dave

The dust nearly ended me though!

Between the combine and the 6270 it will be "Hello my name is farmer Mike" 😁

Enjoyed that I bought a Massey 27 2 years ago gave awful trouble with dirt in the diesel first year took the tank off new lift pump great job replaced most of blade sections on the header couple of belts then it snapped the deawner belt which wrapped around the drive pulley which caught two other belts and a hydraulic hose and the engine oil drain pipe a right mess took 4 hours to get all that off the pulley fingers crossed for next year

[@davesworkshop2714]

That sounds like some pain! It's amazing the damage something like that can do! I dropped a M6 bolt when bypassing the EGR on the Range Rover. It landed behind a pulley, jammed it, melted it and the belt 😬. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed, and good luck with next harvest.

@@willmoore3790 thanks Will, I appreciate your support 🙂👍. Got to say I'm really lucky with the viewers I get on this channel, good to see people like yourself taking the time to comment and share experiences of similar machines. I have a lot to learn and its all valuable to me.

[@richardmorgan5785]

I have been watching the rest of the film while I had my tea . The old combine looks like it has had a life 😮 I reckon it could go on a little faster but I guess it needed to shine up 😅

[@davesworkshop2714]

😅😅 unfortunately there was a lot of lodged crop due to heavy rain so we had to take it gently. Its had a lot of work over winter so it should be in good shape this harvest. Thanks again for watching the videos and commenting Richard, hope you enjoyed your tea!!

[@MBSnapper]

Great video

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks 🙂👍. Always makes it worthwhile when people enjoy it.

[@mickeyvfr98]

Great video Dave 👌👌👌 Don't you just love them bolts that you spend hours trying to get the nut off 🙈🙈🤯🤯

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks Mickey! What a pain in the arse those were 😂 . Hope you're enjoying the heatwave.

[@mickeyvfr98]

Sure am Dave 👍👍

[@TheHomePros6221]

What a cool machine dave!! Did u say your farming oats?

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks Darrell! My buddy has the oats. Off up there this morning cutting them.

[@AliMackMechanical]

Nothing worse than stripped bolts. Trying to keep old Machine's working is not easy Dave I don't what your weather has been like but it looked hot like it has been up here. A good machine but hard work. Good to see the machine back up and running. Yeah I will watch the harvest of the oats. 👍

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks as ever Ali! Must catch up with your live soon! Hope all is well!

[@AliMackMechanical]

@@davesworkshop2714 The video's are more fun 😂😂

[@DanielOReganVideos]

Mick's machine I take it? Nice work Dave!

[@davesworkshop2714]

Certainly is Dan, beautiful machine, just home from a day of putting oats through it. Must catch up soon!

[@peterjames2004]

the bang bang banging i take it was the join in the table conveyor belt

[@davesworkshop2714]

Peter, the owner thinks it's a broken feather finger in the header that's fallen it is causing it. Hasn't been investigated fully yet.

[@michaelcorlett3400]

Nice video Dave,I think the cab windows could do with a wash! we will be interested in any videos with this machine, what year is it? Take care my friend.

[@davesworkshop2714]

Thanks Michael, and we'll spotted. After blocking the feed twice today because I was blinded by the sun I cleaned them 😂😂. Its 1995 or 1996, think 1996. Hope all is well, take care 👍

[@richardmorgan5785]

3 alternator's is a bit excessive 😮 changing a grain elevator chain usually means taking the box off !

[@davesworkshop2714]

To be honest I find it strange it's not 24V with the amount of electrics in it. Never seen anything else with more than one alternator fitted before.

[@resto_roller]

Dave when are we going to see more on the Cat?

[@davesworkshop2714]

James, I'm waiting on a bucket at the moment. Hoping to get a video of it going back to work shortly. I badly need to get it clearing scrub.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I didn’t realize u had such a big farm! How do u manage it and do your day job? U must be really buisy

[@davesworkshop2714]

Unfortunately all that land isn't mine, its my buddy's. My farm is far smaller. Video coming shortly on working on mine. Hope all is well Darrell!

Hi do you no where the coolant temperature cencor is on a mf 40 rs combine mine is playing up ? Thanks

[@davesworkshop2714]

John, I'm not sure, but ill get the owner of this one to check it out today and I'll get back to you.

[@robertmurphy8556]

Awesome. Did the engine stay cool?

[@davesworkshop2714]

It certainly did Rob, ran very cool infact. It seems to be under very little stress in that machine. Totally over spec'd I'd say. Thanks for watching 👍

[@williedunne6015]

Is it just me or is it a slow mover

[@davesworkshop2714]

Willie, we were taking it very slowly because of the amount of lodging in the crop. Plus it was my first time driving a combine 😂.
