I’ve been changing oil in stuff for years and never thought of creating an “oil change” tote 🤦‍♂️ That’s a great idea and I’m definitely gonna do that 👍

[garystone]

So very pleased you showed the screw ups...as a retired Ag teacher I can tell you 'the screw ups are the most important part of learning to do it right' Thanks again.

[jennystroh]

I want to thank you for making this video. I'm not mechanically inclined and need to service a 471 that I'm borrowing from a old friend for feeding my livestock this winter. It gelled up on me (and I did treat the fuel..but see there is water in the settling bowl. I'm a herdsman..so learning to take care of my "own" tractor is a new venture for me after having guys that serviced all equipment back when I was growing up and working for other farmers.

Just bought a Massey 245. This video is extremely helpful for someone like me who hasn’t serviced a tractor before. Thanks!

it's somewhat comforting to know that unfortunate mishaps sometimes happen to someone else other than myself.... and kudos for handling it with good humor and the resolve to get it done right. Don't sweat the small stuff, and, ultimately, it's all small stuff. If I could only walk the

Very instructive. Thank you for not hiding your mistakes to help others avoid them. That is probably the part that I most liked. Greetings from Spain.

Other then the glass bowl issues you had it easy on that fuel filter. No fuel in the arm pit or anything. Don't forget eye protection next time. Fuel and glass in your eyes doesn't feel to good. Great video as usual!!!

[briananderson]

Hey Stoney Ridge. Thanks for being honest. Mostly everyone would have cut that mistakes out. But you didnt. I like that. We are human and humans make mistakes. It shows you keeping your cool while being disappointed. But life must go on. Great video!

[aaronperkins]

Thanks for showing mess ups, helps me to feel normal. Been doing my own maintenance for years but still occasionally mess stuff up. Thanks for the videos too.

[michaelguckian]

Felt your broken glass bowl too. human and appreciate you showing the fail.

I am so glad to see someone else has my kind of luck with breaking replacement parts. Way to roll with it.

[johnnyturbo]

Nicely done. Just remember if you are going to fill the oil filter with oil before installing, fill the smaller holes. The big hole go directly into the engine. So it filters into the small holes, threw the filter element and back threw the engine to lube it. So if there is any contaminants in the new oil etc.. it will get run threw the filter 1st.

😁👍 love watching and doing basic maintenance, so therapeutic

I'm the proud owner of a 1920's Ferguson who's restoration is almost finished and just discovered the channel today. Considering that you're all the way across the Atlantic and halfway across the US, the last thing I expected was to hear you mention my home town of Wolverhampton! Especially as the part in question was most probably made in the Lucas Engineering plant that is just 2 miles from my home, although it is now called Lucas Aerospace! Loving the content and looking forward to working my way through all the vids!

My Dad had a Massey 240 just like the one here. Bought it new around 1986-87. Had it for probably 15 yrs. Baled hay with it. Cut pasture grass. All around farm use. He sold it after his first stroke along with his farm.

You are the type of person I search for when I'm looking to buy a used piece of equipment. Because you are so fanatical about maintenance as I am too.👍🏻👍🏻

[joolwing]

sharing your mistakes is the best, honest, helpful, educational and funny thing I have watched this week. I did laugh on the first drop but I didn't laugh on the second break because I realized how you are really keeping your cool here. Kudos,

[ecutler]

As an extra reminder, I take a Sharpie and write the change date on the filters. You see the date every time you use the tractor. Good video.

[fordenginebuildersvpower]

Have owned several Massey Ferguson’s with Perkins Diesel engines and have never had an issue with one! Now that T Shirt you have on had better be clean when you’re done or it’s your ass!! LOL!!! Working on a Massey you need a Massey hat lol! Great video !!! NAPA filters are made by Wix! Excellent filters! Josh is an excellent teacher/instructor!

[kenarnold]

Note to clean your items including hands BEFORE removing stubborn seals. Nice tutorial Josh, keep up the great work! Love them 'ol Massey's. Brings back fond memories.

I bought an old 1972 Massey Ferguson 245 and I totally restored it every bolt, washer, nut, new wiring, I had the tractor in a million pieces but boy is she strong and looking good now...
