We'll start by changing out a worn MF 165 4x4 axle seal that's been causing leaks. Then, we'll move on to some welding work to repair the axle mount, ensuring it's as sturdy as ever. But that's not all; we'll also replace the entire mount on the tractor side with a brand-new part for added reliability. To wrap it all up, we'll grease up all the fittings and replace the bushings on the axle mount. 🌲

Is that true 4x4, or front wheel assist? Here in North America, a 165 4x4 would be a museum pc for its rarety.

I'm not sure what you'd call it. It's driven by a clutch that will slip if the pressure becomes to high. It's designed to spare front axle components under high load. Thanks for watching! ❤️

@@woodlandwrench that's front wheel assist

Massey had a weak point on the front end pivot axle. You can't put too much weight on the front end, even on the non 4x4s, the wheel axle would break off.They were the most fuel efficient tractors in the day and long lasting if you careful with the front ends 😅

Yeah, I've experienced that first hand! 😅 So I think a FEL is not a great idea on these tractors unless it's a smaller and less powerful one. I'm very happy with it though, the Perkins 4.212 engine seems bulletproof.

You should change the oil in the axle also EP 90 gear oil.

Please drop the skid plate and clean it, just for the views ha ha 😁

Haha, that's not a bad idea. The whole tractor could use a thorough clean. Thanks for the video idea! And thanks for watching 🥰

Hello do you know where I can get a 4wd front axle from massey 165 please?

Think you need to invest a steam cleaner and ditch the saw dust and use pig blankets

@woodlandwrench 8 ай бұрын

Haha, yes! It could use a good clean. Sawdust isn't the best, but it's what I had on hand. Thanks for watching! ❤

That front housing must of been around a $1000.00 USD....

It's nice to see people fixing things so that others can learn from them. But I expect you are not trained as a mechanic. When the manufacturer inserts a bushing in the axle, it is because when there is wear, the wear should be between the bushing and the bolt. So when it will be to mutch play, just change bushing and bolt. And everything will be like new. When you take and grind up the bushing, to get it in easily, then you are making a big mistake. What will happen is that the bushing is not stuck in the bore anymore, but can move,so now the wear will be between the liner and the bore as well. Professional mechanic will never do such a thing. Greetings from a professional mechanic

True that, but there is zero chance that bushing would fit around the bolt if I pressed it in without cutting it. In that case, I would need to hone the bushing after installation, and that tool is about $400. Which would be the proper way, yes. But it seemed fine the way I did it. I still had to press them in, and it felt super tight. Those bushings are made for original 2wd tractors, not the 4wd system on mine. There shouldn't be any difference, but I am not entirely sure. Thanks for sharing your expertise, I appreciate it, and I will remember this for future projects ❤️ Might buy that tool for next time I need to replace some bushings.

the right tool you need is an adjustable reamer

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

@arnehenning Oh. I googled it, never seen that tool before. Wasn't too expensive actually.. Thanks for the info!! I'll make sure to do it that way next time👍❤️
