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

[@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!

[@dazzfromaus4797]

You just gotta love these old V 8 chuggers. They just keep on chuggn.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@300farmer]

whauw No sweat and no smoke. Perfect!

[@topworkengine5487]

Perfect comment

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

She’s gonna be a runner!

[@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!

[@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!

[@460V8]

Beautiful tractor and nice to see it coming back to life. And that workout on the field did it good.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks 👍

[@stevefriedlander8091]

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

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@vsanti83]

Awesome. Even the blue smoke has all gone

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@KentGraf]

It’s great to see the 1800 going again! Good job.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks again!

[@neilmartin5345]

I love seeing these old machines being rescued and being used again, well done 👍

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Many thanks!

[@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!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@Massey-man]

The best entertainment on a Sunday evening in the UK, JT cultivating some good looking soil with a good looking MF tractor. Well done on putting this 1800 back where it belongs JT, and thank you for another great video 👍

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thank you!

[@johnwesner3935]

It starts, it runs, it steers and it stopped smoking!😮 I like the fancy carpet but really, let's get a shift knob!😊

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on

[@richardschaffling9882]

I think she earned her tachometer fixed and a new paint job she looked liked she did a good job

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Was thinking that too!

[@billyhord4508]

Sure great to see the old iron doing what it was designed to do. Not a lot of plastic to break, computer chips to fail, or def in the wrong tank kind of machine. Just a tractor made to pull a plow.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@staceyhepburn3201]

That heat cycle would have been great for the engine.

[@johnnycampbell2719]

Love all the old Massey on your farm JT, even better that it's functional! Love older tractors still working the land

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@iainpaton1865]

Hi friend that old girl is working hard good job 🎉🎉keep the great videos coming friend. From Scotland 😊

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Will do! Thanks!

[@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!

[@gleanerk]

Seat time in the 1800 ! 👍🏻🇺🇸 Enjoyed every minute watching!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks Scott! Just about ready for a lot of seat time in the old masseys soon!

[@chadshafer8095]

That is Awesome to see it being worked again after all these yrs. Great Job. Cant wait to see it Restored.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

You and me both!

[@farmark457]

The camera shots from the roof are epic. What you won’t do for your viewers lol . Looks to be smoking less the longer you use it. Thx

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right! It cleared up really well!

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Good to see the beast work.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@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

[@canvids1]

Now that calls for 2 beers!! Happy for you as you did so much work on it. The Old girl should do you proud this season.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! I think she will!!

[@eaglebill3738]

Ok, now that I see it's the deluxe model with under pedal side to middle carpeting... It's a keeper for sure! Love the video's JT! Thanks from middle of farm country in Northern Illinois.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Oh yes!

[@bryanjohnson5597]

What an old Sweetheart. You did good! It does kinda tickles me to see POWER STEERING on the wheel. I couldn't imagine it being without it.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Ha! I don’t think a guy could muscle that more than once without it lol

[@JamesFales-t5y]

WELL DONE JT !!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

Good job my man. That's awesome so glad you got it up and running and fixed. It's good to see that old iron working again.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@DarkTiran]

Great to see her doing what she is supposed to do. And like all those old engines, they just need a good load put through them to get back into shape. Looking forward to the upcoming field work videos!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@1300gprr]

The 'ol 1800 is looking and sounding good!! I ran our MF 1805 on our 16' chisel plow on Friday....first time we've turned dirt here in WNY. Hopefully your stretch of decent weather continues!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I hope so!

[@NMX777]

The exhaust cleared up nicely after she was good and warm.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@jippel1]

Good job mate👍the experts are proving wrong again 🤣cheers from down under 🇦🇺

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks 👍

[@richardmiels3402]

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!

[@corydriver7634]

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.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

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

[@GeneMusall]

Again JT you are to be commended. A poor neglected machine is now loud and proud again. It certainly looked right at home with that field cultivator. I’m going to pay more attention to your channel.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@den-nap4974]

For to finish the tractor off you need to do mud guards on back get one inch steel for edge of flat three foot steel make it like green bard 🚜 and put on steps Two that what we did and it stop mud and stones hitting the back window and you could fill that diesel tank better and put your light on top of guards 😅 It will finish the tractor off good luck I joy the old girl like look power I am 210 HP it cheep with been big my 100 hp goes through 160 dollars a day doing a d

Looks like the 1800 just needed to work a little bit. The smoke didn’t take too long to clear up. Hopefully it starts better and doesn’t use a bunch of oil. Thanks for the Videos.
