Show her some love boys

As long as there’s no rust holes I’d never paint that Massey, she’s got a nice patina.

Raining right now and haven't really had a chance to cut hay yet. Lets get these hydraulic leaks out of the way now that way I don't have to worry about it in the field. They are proud of those hard lines like everything on a green painted tractor.

They seem pretty proud of all of em any more.

I don’t know much about masseys hosky. It’s not exactly ours. My uncles father in law bought that thing. He passed away. His kids asked if we would service it. Then asked if we could store it. Run it use it keep it over there. I honestly don’t know whose it is. I turn augers. Pull grain wagons and little things with. Dig drainage gutters. Rake with it. Haven’t put any time on it though.

Agree with that one , our version of that model was the 175

the 178 and 185 188 where much much better

Fresh off a thunder storm. Not a bad view for my front yard.

I brazed a hole in one of mine today.

I like my old 175.....for pulling a rake, or spraying. Teddering. Not a good tractor for bush hogging. Three point lift is all over the place.

I will probably do that as well to have as a backup. Main thing for me is that I don't want to worry about it failing when we are at our busiest.

Ain’t they all over the place. I dig gutters with one of those spinny thingys. Annoying to say the least.

I’ve had really good luck brazing them if I go all the way around the tube. I’ve got an old 1840 skid loader I think I’ve brazed most of them. Typically it breaks down when I’m using it so I pull them. Take them to shop and braze. They have failed me several times. Since I have started brazing all the way around the line I haven’t had one fail. I totally agree with putting a new one on. It is a good repair though

Replanted a part of corn field that got an ugly stand
Baled some hay. 640 is beat up pretty bad. Needs feeder rebuilt. Belts are slick. She’s giving me fits. That wheat I mowed the other day will tell on a baler pretty quick. I’ve knocked 8 guards off. Ol girl is looking rough. I’ll post some pictures when I get done for your entertainment.

I added some rubber hose at the rub points on my hard lines. Hope it helps.

Isn't crazy how we hang onto things like this as a "just in case" circumstance. Got a radiator put away when I ran a stick through the front of the tractor one day. Didn't know when I could get it repaired and so I did it myself. Went ahead and bought a new one and replaced it just to make sure we had no problems when doing hay. My repair was holding up fine but there was that nagging feeling that what if. Still got the old one put away at dads.

Find plenty of uses for old heater hose lines. Another one of those things I hold onto.

Sounds like a good idea. I’ve done the same. I think it helps

I just opened a new box of bearings. Inside was a completely worn out bearing…. Not even decent enough to finish the season …. One of us decided we needed to keep it Pretty sure it wasn’t me.
