9:25 100% agree with you, its your tractor, build it the way you want it. Looks like its a MK 2 65 from what i can see, great job your doing there with the restoration.

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@madeljacky thank you.

[@andrewjohnson2886]

Looking great that Richard👍

I’ve recently found paint stripping discs on a 4” grinder are great for fetching off thick paint, leaves a nice smooth finish as well. 🙂👍

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@ianwallett7438 I have just googled the stripping disc. I have never tried them. I will be doing now. Thank you.

[@damo690]

Nossel size is very important when it comes to getting a good quality finish.

[@bonielsen4512]

Good stuff Mr B. Like these old Mf .have 2 35 special edition and a Mf 702 bakhoe all renovated and paintet. Regards from denmark.

[@BCWilsonLime]

Looking good! I really need to get my 135 out of hibernation and restore it!

[@m0ogy]

Great video, II own a 1958 fully restored 35 petrol model, love it to bits 🙂

[@trevorsidley7697]

Looks great to me Richard - Well done. Enjoy what I'm sure will be a "festive" New Years Eve 🍻

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@trevorsidley7697 cheers. And the same to you.

[@D7nielle]

Lovely job. Hope you’ve had a good Christmas Mr B.

[@johnchadwick2850]

crackin job mrB

[@davidhall5130]

I think it fine on left for ploughing as can shine across to your levelling box

[@andrewturner8755]

Looking great the 65 Richard, will nip down when you've get her complete, paint job looks great all the very best for the new year my mate. PS can you spray the Atki bumper for me ? .

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@andrewturner8755 what colour?

[@multipower617]

Looking good

[@Gearoid35]

Nice job

[@WhittlesWheels]

Been starting up spraying a set of front wings for a beetle. Found it hard I either get orange peel or runs

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@WhittlesWheels I am wondering if your paint is a little thin?

[@nippinkoi8924]

Probably better paint than wen came out of the factory 👍

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@nippinkoi8924 probably so. But if Ferguson was off to a show how would they present it?

[@mcgrorymachined7596]

@8:28 , Is that coiled steel cable protector? where did you find that?

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@mcgrorymachined7596 if you Google Holden vintage you will find it. I have made my own too using flux wire to give the affect

[@mcgrorymachined7596]

@@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer brilliant, thank you. I've got a Landini L25 that has lots of it. the wiring needs looking at to say the least!

[@keithk1246]

That's some shine you got there. Is that 2 pack mixed paint? Do you find it easier to put on than single pack paint which can run easily?

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@keithk1246 I do use two pack yes. The problem I find with single pack is the quality is not there. I have found the two pack keep looking fresh for longer. The only problem is that it looks more plastic than single pack. That’s the down side.

[@classicrider5274]

What is the brand and shade of red you used? I understand they changed colours around the time of your tractor. I have a 1965 MF135 and would like to paint some parts, but as close to original as possible. Great painting tips by the way, thanks.

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@classicrider5274 the red is mixed from a sample from the tractor. I like a darker shade. I have heard a few conflicting story’s on what year exactly the paint colour was changed.

[@classicrider5274]

@ thanks for info about colours.

[@bobcrawford2105]

Did they fit bigger front wheels to level tractor up or longer struts for front wheels

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@bobcrawford2105 just standard tyres. I have put it on 7.50 to try and help. The high clearance with 38” rears had longer stubs. I think they were trying to complete with the Major

[@DanDuggan-x6t]

Where did you source the wire wrapped wires to power the light's? Looks the part

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@DanDuggan-x6t the complete automotorist But. This is an off cut I got many years ago. It is very expensive now. I was going to try and make my own for this tractor.

[@neilcrossley4718]

Where did you get the tyres from as my tractor has 36" rims also thanks

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@neilcrossley4718 a friend had them in stock. I have been looking years. I do no of some near Newark. Not cheap mind.

[@fendt5163]

I've got a single used 12.4 11-36 Good Year straight bar type, 95% tread not perished if anyone knows of another to go with it?

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@ I am sure someone will be. I do prefer the bar tread

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

He's it got wet brake's. If so it's a Mark 2.

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@henrymichaelwilson8107 no dry brakes. All 65 have dry brakes.

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer no they don't. Mark 1 have dry brake's. Unless they have been massed about with. Mark 2 are wet generally. There's also industrial witch can verrie. A friend of mine does plowing comps. He has a fleet of 65 s he will tell you anything you want to know about Massey Ferguson tractor's.

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@henrymichaelwilson8107 are you? In the U.K.? Because every 65 in the U.K. has dry ones.

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer tim buc to.

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer Hello Mr B. My friend with the Massey Ferguson plowing tractor is a half breed it has a 165 back end and gear box. The only true parts are the engine and tin work. So you are right about the dry brakes. He has other half breed tractors for forestry work. So I'm sorry about doubting your word.

[@johnchambers1686]

Nice job shame to get it dirty
