Will it pull? Massey Ferguson 1800 first time in the field in 20 years!

Let’s see if the 1800 Massey survives its first field run!

[@calebfox9883]

Had a big smile on my face watching the Massey go to work. I love seeing old forgotten equipment brought back to life.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@ianwille5780]

Let’s see an emissions tractor sit for 20 years and run like that one. She quit hazing after the second pass. What a beast!!!! Just think how much better it will run with some fresh diesel and fuel additives in it.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

For sure! It’ll get better and better!

[@nicholasneidlinger1323]

That's what it's all about... bringing something left for dead and bringing it back to life, and back to work! Great job 👍👍

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@zendoargos4988]

Hopefully those few acres were just the first of many that the old girl will be able to work for you. I have really enjoyed the videos on the 1800 and all of your other tractors and look forward to seeing you have a successful planting season.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I hope so too!

[@stevefriedlander8091]

Awesome. Love to see old farm tractors come back to life.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@briannelson4493]

The old girl worked like it was meant to work. It was good to see the exhaust clear up , a good work out does wonders.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Yes it does!

[@vsanti83]

Awesome. Even the blue smoke has all gone

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

[@CaryGuyer]

Awesome job Jt. Everything seems to be working like you planned, however, it sounds as though the hydraulic pump is cavitating a bit especially when first started up. With as many years as it sat idle, it may not hurt to think about adding some hydraulic oil conditioner to the system which would help reseal some of the o-rings throughout. Just a thought and suggestion. As always, you produce great bring-em back to life videos.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I think a jug of the Lucas hydraulic booster would sure help!

[@spudhauler]

She's going from strength to strength by the time you were doing that 3rd stripe the smoke had gone 👍 it's also a good looking tractor that will be something special again once you've finished working your magic on it.👌

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@Massey-man]

After 20 years it's due to make some rounds

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

Advance auto parts have a great header coat paint with high temperature ceramic bond agent in it, called Plastic Coat , its great for your manifolds,I believe the satin black is the best and to me,and my experience with using it, it's actually washable if you get wet clay soil or other dirt splash on it when the pipes are hot . The dirt had flashed dry on it and after the pipes cooled down,I found that I could just wipe the stain right off,without recoating it ,nice stuff

[@GaryYff]

Great video JT. That big grin running up and down the field reminds me of being 13 doing field work for the first time on the big case.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Always makes me smile when one of these oldies gets back to work!

[@halwilliams1682]

There is a future in farming for a young man who is willing to use older machinery to keep the costs down. I was your age during 80's farm crisis and saw it happen guys my age. Keep it going!

When you did “one more lap” I had to chuckle because I know exactly what it’s like when you’re having fun and don’t want to go home. Almost want to call the neighbors and ask if they wanted any tillage done huh? 😂 This is going to be a nice rig for you.

You nailed it 😉. I think she’s gonna be real nice all done!

From my desk it looks like you are having entirely too much fun !! But if I was the one in the dirt under those tractors I might be pining for that desk job. Congrats on making a lot of hard work look so enjoyable, and on a long list of successful projects !!!

Very good work Mr JT. The antique Persian carpet clearly did its thing; old Cat engine just needed a warm, loaded fart to clear up. Seems well matched to that implement as the work-up was smooth and Fergy did it easy. Bit quicker maybe? From Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Seems like the 30 footer is about perfect on my 1805, figured the 00 would like it too. Next fall I’ll have to put it on the chisel and let it rip!

Years ago when I was farming with a older fellow; we ran a Massey 1800 for a couple of years. We added a turbo charger to the engine and probably went up a gear while doing tillage. This lasted for a day or two, then the engine blew-up putting a rod through the block. That was the end of my Massey experience.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Well, I can see how putting a turbo on that motor would ruin it. I don’t think the bottom end of those were meant for that
