My Tractor's fuel pump broke down, Far away from my workshop.. Mf 165.

I was out helping a friend with some horse-fencing. Then i noticed that the tank was dry and all the diesel was now in the crank case..

A proper sounding diesel under load. Will look forward to the gearbox video. Thank-you.

Hello! from Kansas. You do a good job of explaining what you are doing!

[@mikebills9343]

Wow she’s a quick one 👍🏻watching from Spain 🇪🇸

[@ttreebuff]

Really appreciate your vids so much better than most yank ones with their annoying habit of constant yapping !!

[@Ioughtaknowbetter]

What a great tractor. Thank you for sharing this.

[@joshuabarlow9048]

Love how well these old machines hold up

[@MrYukon2010]

Awesome tractor. That turbo is actually hilarious as is the speed. Love it!

[@UncleJams]

It was amazing to see this tractor go zooming down the road like that. All of your videos are well done and your English is perfect. I enjoy every video. Thank you

Nice tractor, I purchased a old MF165 a couple months ago, It was in pretty decent condition when purchased, Just now getting around to put it to work. Did some body paint, repaired the rusted out tool box & minor stuff but hadn’t any mechanical issues until last week when it died, starved for fuel, obvious choice was to replace the fuel filters, and when checked the air cleaner it was severely stopped up surprisingly the engine could get any air, Found the 1st fuel filter & glass bowl filled with rust… from the tank, 2nd filter was remarkably clean - guess the 1st had caught much of the trash, worked my way upstream with the fuel lines, struggling to get fuel up to the next point, the fuel lines still had rust and seemed to be bonded, even when unscrewed, couldn’t pull them loose without concern of damage, Anyway I finally got the fuel to the fuel pump and the tractor fired up, without me having to crack open the injection lines, I used the tractor a couple hours since, seemed like it was running perfectly, then cut out again, The sentiment glass bowl looks pretty clear now & I have fuel up to the 2nd filter, I will check the fuel pump tomorrow in the daylight, I’d suspect debris/rust in the lines making it way through & clogging up the system. I will mostly have to replace the tank to avoid further issues from the rust getting into the fuel system.

[@harrybutler1828]

Great video. Impressed with the way you explain what you are doing. Very helpful for anyone that is not mechanically inclined. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Canada.

[@Zirler]

Thanks Richard As usual a really great video. Always something new to learn… thumbs up

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thank you 😊

[@nisse68]

Great video! It gave me the courage to not only reseal the C.A.V fuel pump on my Volvo BM t430 but also help my neighbour when his MF 375 started to overflow the oil :)

[@bobgarske9579]

A very good video, well produced. Enjoyable to the end. Glad to hear it's still a workhorse in a BIG meaningful way. Now I have to fix my hi/lol range airlines on my big truck. No more procrastinating!

[@EnGammalAmazon]

Gomoron från Oregon! För två år sedan kåpte jag en lite gård norr om Hudiksvall. I visited Sweden the first time in 1971, made it back the first time in 2011, and farm in 2021. I worked in Sweden in the lumber industry for about a year in 2019 and got to see a whole lot of Southern Sweden in my travels every month. I really enjoyed your video. I am a forester by training, but my real profession for over 50 years has been as a log builder and carpenter. All of this in volved equipment which means I often had to be my own mechanic. I must say that you have better luck bleeding a Perkins injection system than I do! of course, you have a fortunate advantage with the gravity fuel feed to the pump. I have a teleskopiklastare with a Perkins 4-236 NA motor. The poor old thing was in need of serious love when I bought it and last night was when I decided to pull the head off the motor, do a valve job, install a new gasket, rebuild the injectors and then see if the injection pump needs to be rebuilt. My sense is that the old 4-236 motors are about one of the most bulletproof motors ever built. About the only thing better are the B18's and B20's in my Amazons. Återigen, jag uppskatter din video och jag har också prenummerat. Mycket bra jobbat!

[@GeorgeVeld]

this is the reason why a lot of old timers loved the 165 it was a verry simple tractor to work on in the field Can you do a video on the turbo please

[@stucook8622]

Hello from Columbus Wisconsin, USA....I enjoy your videos. Thank you for the hard work and for sharing with us.

[@nelseshaver2679]

Enjoy your videos and I am not afraid for my grandchildren to see them. Good content and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi, Thank's! Take care of your family and stay safe! /Richard

[@alanmumford8806]

Still watching and enjoying. That tractor is a beast!

[@enginenetwork78]

I have the same contact

[@williambrown1031]

I noticed you drive an Opel. Back in my youth (many years ago) I owned a 1959 Opel station wagon. Tough reliable little car, not something one in high school would want, but it was mine and it did run well.

[@StuHarris60]

I drove a similar unmodified and new 165 when I worked on a farm in 1967. It was a good powerful tractor in it’s day. Like yours it had no cab and no safety cage in those days. Nice work on the fuel pump which were often a trouble to bleed.

[@WhiteyTheIronMonger]

That Perkins is a fantastic engine. I believe its a 4.236. I have seen them in all kinds of equipment and the never let you down. Great job on the pump fix!

[@malcolmquick3708]

The way you explain everything makes it easy to understand how to do the repairs

[@cataube]

Thanks for sharing. I believe my MF 165 has the same issue. Now I have the confidence to start the repair.

[@endtimeawakening5557]

Quite informative and very well done! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@txtootall]

I love how it's turbo'd and the nice shifting trans !

[@richwhitaker1506]

Thanks for this tutorial. You are a good instruction. Always liked MF tractors.

[@joemoore6605]

Thank you for showing me how to fix my tractor.

[@vonelwood9692]

Awesome tractor! Must be pretty scary at 60mph! The sounds reminds me of my old land rover series 2A diesel, I bolted a turbo to it and adjusted the fuel rail, it pulled like a train with those mods!

[@KYKAYAKER274ey1]

That’s so awesome and what great info thanks brother

[@jamesrathkamp1893]

Love the content. Thanks for going through all the work to record and post it.

[@ianburit3705]

Hi and very interesting video. I did smile when you demonstrated your low range and first gear as it reminded me of my old now sold Landrover Diesel Discovery 2 door I owned for 10 years, Its pulling power in both low range and first or lower reverse was amazing.. I enjoy your videos as I too am an old thing at 73 years old, ex AERO parts maker but retired at 55 to the seaside/ Love older things but embrace modern EV vehicles, but, you cant beat the throb of an old diesel.. Thanks again -- Ian. UK.

[@de_w8tam]

That tractor is a ripper!!! Loved hearing about it's racing history!

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yes, to bad you guys cant testdrive it. It is a experiense in it self.

[@jasonkuehl639]

Excellent video! I've known a lot of shop mechanics that don't do as thorough job as your field repairs. I can't wait to see what comes next!

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thank you 😊

[@jackadkisson7329]

Enjoyed your video. I also have an MF 165. They are great tractors! Mine is pretty much original, and I use it here on my small farm in southeast Tennessee. Keep up the good work restoring "Yesterday's Equipment". God bless you!

[@markhoppe4391]

Another great one. Love the tractor.

[@dannydunnagan3267]

Had to rebuild the injector pump on my 150 Massey Ferguson this week in the USA it cost 1200 dollars but it was worn out never been touched in 50 years can't complain.

[@MrPervalka]

I love these old Perkins engines :) all Perkins are wery good :)

[@stefanoancona7642]

O yes IM a The Fuel Injection Specially

[@yvindkjellsen8751]

Wonderful to see your rebuild 💓😃🤠

[@kerbsidebob1]

Great job I really enjoyed your video and look forward to more videos on your tractor. I have a Massey T20 with a 4 cylinder standard motor company engine and I would like to fit a small turbo to it one day. They were very popular her in Scotland with small farms. I still work my one regularly thanks again for sharing your videos it is very interesting to see stuff like this from different parts of the world. Cheers. Bob.

[@jimplatts6172]

Ours used to do 25mph down hill with the wind behind you. Great job Keep it up thanks.

[@andrewmosher5800]

I have the same issue on one of my David browns but now I see how to fix it .. great tractor by the way.. Andrew Mosher

[@jabulanimathenjwa8277]

I have the same problem of diesel leak on my 165 and was little bit scared to strip it but now I see it's not that difficult to strip it and replace it thanks so much keep it up with your good work and I'm in south Africa

[@rigmaster1]

tack så mycket! Great reference for working on my Ford 555A backhoe with similar Perkins engine and Lucas SAV fuel injection pump.

Excellent video Richard :) also nice fast tractor & so cool set up got there and like did to it ! Also I got make interest to know late Cousin Bill did and get Lol too! He bought 1975 Dodge D350 (1ton or 11.000 kg pound 12 passenger van was used as local hospital near me from 1975 to fall of 1984 to it had 360 V8 gas motor with 4 barrel carb with hand choke cable knob in dash, Manual 3 speed Transmission column shift on steering wheel, 409 rear end gears and made to camping van ! Plus with Propane Stove , Heater, Hot Water tank plus Cold water setup , Sink and gas motor got lazy plus transmission so updated! So Bill work for Chrysler Van assembly plant as foreman plus was a co ownership with brother Ken plus 2 nephews Earl also David of Local John Deere Dealership near Bill home plus mine too even Ken plus 2 boys together in 1945 till close up in 2010 for 50 years! But Ken & Bill raised in Detroit Michigan USA families had JOHN DEERE Dealership till 1960 then close up but Ken also Bill moved to Ontario Canada in 1940 near me plus farm then got JOHN DEERE Dealership going to! But 1985 Bill put 1976 Massey Ferguson 500 Combine motor in the 1975 Dodge Van with Stake truck Eaton D18 Manual Creeper 4speed Bow Low 1st gear but had 5 Foward gears with Reverse floor shifter in , 390 rear end gears plus 24 volt Negative ground of 2 batteries of 12 in plus updated with fuel system 2 fuel tank on tap by driver seat too , plus extra gauges on Dash for RPM, Transmission temperature, Second fuel tank and Second battery charging! Bill smart guy when building stuff would think work but did and since past away! But got drive the van with grandson Glen my cousin too years ago and heard get fix to be road soon too ! Glenn sold to another guy cousin who take to vechile shows when get fix fully I hear because clutch needs replaced plus exhaust too! But the Desiel motor is not a Turbo one !

[@michaelwhitley2081]

I used to work at a Massey Fergusson dealership in the stores and supplied many parts for 165’s. They were great tractors but be careful if you ever put a muck filler bucket on the front. The filler tends to pick the front wheels up and if they come down quickly onto a hard surface the front stub axles can snap. It’s the only weakness I really know of… you have a very tidy example of the type👍

[@jeffhale3760]

Enjoyed the video and several others that you've done. Really like seeing those old machines come to life again. Looking forward to new videos. Hello from Arkansas.

[@sebastiansanchez1x2]

Me ha encantado el video, sigue así.Mi enhorabuena.

[@stuartcrane9409]

Another interesting video, I used a little grey petrol fergy on my small farm….it did everything

[@jerrydavies3784]

I’m just about to do the same on a Bedford 500 engine that’s in my Bedford VAL coach. Interestingly…. My CAV pump has a ‘tell tale’ hole in the bottom of the triangular face plate. This is so that you don’t fill the sump up with diesel and knacker your engine without knowing it. Mine is absolutely pissing out diesel out of this small hole - i thought the pump had failed so badly that it would need replacing but no - its just this drain hole and the fact that the seal has probably turned to stone! - great walk though anyway its given me great confidence to tackle it myself

[@daverose4992]

Hello from Illinois, USA. Very interesting, looking foreword to next post.

Ausum, speed! Got, to know about the gears.....pretty 😎 cool!Thanks for the video showing gasket change! Turbo...looking forward, to it!😀👍

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yep, dont want everyone making this to their MF tho... it is a bit dangerous. / Richard

[@jackiebrown8808]

You did great explaining this. I have a 880 David Brown Tractor and I'm having trouble staring it. I believe their is more bleeding that I need to do since I drained all of the fuel out.

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

Also check at the sediment boowl that there are no little air bubbbles being sucked in.... the seal on the line from the tank to the pump.. the one connection that bolts into the pump itself..can develop wear...and air bubbles are no use in a diesel injection system... unscrew the connection and replace the seal there with an O ring..... when you use the priming lever now there will be no bubbles.. solid fuel to push through to bleed everything else...

[@jeffreysmith7054]

Excellent chanel! Thank you. I have the exact same issue with my MF35X. 🙄 Ho, ho, off to work I go.

[@davidkilts1670]

I really like your old Opal Rekord. Along with all your other toys too of course!

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

Holy smokes I cant believe how fast that tractor is. Aesome job on the turbo charger, and modded gearbox. I have an old Massy MF35, it has the loader attachment, and a fork life on the back which mainly carries my 1500 pound counter weight. I put skidder chains on it for added traction. It currently sits in the middle of my driveway as it suddenly quit. I eliminated everything down to the metering valve on the injection pump. So tomorrow mornnig ill get out there and have a look before we go back into -25C

👍 Old traktors are like old houses or elderly lady's, there is always something to repair or do 🤷‍♂️😁

[@Legalmachinist]

Wow, what a smokin fast machine! Plow an acre in 3-4 minutes!!

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Nope, in just 2. Hehe, a great work horse and strong. But it is still quite small so that is a limit. But plowing and all farm work is a pleasure. /Richard

Great and informative video this. Thanks for share. I recomend you to work with nitrile gloves when you work with oil 👍😎

[@stationaryenginesworldwide]

what an amazing piece of machine it is!...looking forward to seeing the gearbox update .... love the turbo install better than a naturally aspirated diesel

[@andrewallason4530]

G’day from far off Tasmania! I had one of the seals blew on the fuel pump on my Mitsubishi Fuso 4x4 truck 5 weeks ago, here in Tasmania. I had to send the pump to Sydney (about 2000km away) to swap ( I get someone’s refurbished unit, and mine gets refurbished for some other sucker). The replacement arrived back last week, we put it on, and you guessed it, they didn’t fix it!!! It runs great at idle, but as soon as you get it to 2000RPM, it blows black soot, and shakes the whole truck (6 tons). Now waiting on another replacement - which they say is being expedited. Great to see you get your job done well in a short period of time.

[@user-jb9fb3gy5n]
