UNTOUCHED Vintage Massey Ferguson Tractor - Will it Run and Move?

In this video, I go through the motions to get an old vintage Massey Ferguson 65 mark 1 running after it was retired to a barn many, many years ago after the closure of a chicken farm. This barnfind was pointed out into the paddock and appeared complete so I couldn’t help myself to see if I could get it going. This one features a 4 cylinder Perkins diesel engine. Please feel free to share your experience with these old Massey Ferguson tractors. Thanks again for watching everyone, Bruce.

Those old Masseys are so reliable, I’d have put money on it firing up. That one looks in really nice condition, very original 👍. Loving the channel 🙏

Today we woke up our Massey 165 from a 9 year long sleep and it started just as easily as this one did. Happy days

Hey bruce, I started working at north pine motors back in 91 was a massey furguson workshop and dealer but I went to the Holden/Nissan side wish I hadn’t now plus worked there for 24 years. Wish I went to the tractor side but to late now. I’m a toyota person now should have never gotten rid of my HJ45 but I have a 1hdt 80 series now 385000 on it and doesn’t use a drop of oil but I did the big ends with I bought it, will go forever with correct maintenance like anything. Love your work and never stop, bloody amazing you are!!!

Something very satisfying about reviving an old machine, perhaps says something about our age.

[gordonagent]

Great save again Bruce, that shed is full of all sorts of goodies for you wasn’t it. It never fails to amaze me the durability of old diesel engines

Hi Bruce, well done the 65 has been a favorite of mine since my days as a 14 year old some 60 years ago.

Don’t ya’ll just love Bruce…a gift to humanity if you ask me..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

When we visited relations in Western Australia (from the UK) one of them had an old Massy Ferguson on his farm with a bra draped over the two headlights. This reminded me of driving one on a UK farm during school holidays in the 50's to earn some extra pocket money. It was much smaller (and they were always painted grey), but it also had a rear scoop.

Bruce, you are something else buddy . After seeing you traveling down that field road and back and that obvious smile on your face, all the kid just came right out of you my friend 👍 . I sat here smiling along with you, cause I saw the memories with you . I'm almost 70 myself and your expression was perfect ! 😂
The sound of tractors are one of a kind and to hear this Massey-Ferguson run is a sweet music Bruce . Thank you for your channel and live for these older model machines.

Great video, Bruce!! Always fun to revive old (almost) forgotten equipment.

[jimrio]

Bruce, that machine looks like she has many working years ahead of her. I gave you a like and really enjoy your videos. Jim Rioux from Connecticut

I grew up running my Dad's Massey 165. That old Perkins engine didn't have any quit in it!

[markcandrl]

Armstrong steering!….🤣🤣
Good job Bruce.
Old school rules 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[kerrygleeson]

Fantastic work Bruce runs like a clock thanks for sharing 🦘

That took me back to when I was a kid. From age 10 to 14, I drove that 65 around our farm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Sounds exactly the same.too... Nice that it started so quickly as well.

[ivanolsen]

Be interesting to see if the current model Deere John would start and run that easy when its this Fergies age. The Polly Perkins motors were unkillable. First thing on wheels I ever drove was a petrol Fergy about 70 years ago on mates farm, seems like yesterday!

That's a restorers dream, the tin work looks in good shape, all it would need is a sand blast, Lance from 'Bundy Bears Shed' on YouTube is currently restoring one of these Massey Ferguson 65s you should check out his channel, he fully restored the engine and gearbox and will paint it too.
