@@Ayorkshiremansdailygrind: I myself spent part of today getting ready to have my Massey Ferguson 270 Diesel trucked from my mum’s farm in Southern Ontario, Canada to my rural property in Central Ontario about 2 hours away. I had to air up the tires, place the two batteries on a battery charger, hook a 6’ Bush Hog to the rear 3 point hitch and load a 6’ grader blade into the bucket of the tractor’s MF Quick Detach Loader. My 1985 model year MF tractor has just over 2000 hours on the engine but had previously been used to clean stables so there was a lot of wear in the front end spindle bearings and tie rod ends. Those issues have been addressed now but my injection pump needs to be removed and a seal kit installed to address a nasty fuel leak at the pump. This tractor will be replacing a 1963 International B414 (gas) that came with an IH 1550 front end loader. Sadly, the engine of that machine is worn out (very low oil pressure) and lots of leaks (hydraulics and rear main seal in the engine. Parts for that machine are getting hard to find in Canada and the repair bill would be more than the tractor is worth. Besides, it’s nice to now have a bigger 60 HP diesel tractor with a quick detach loader with down pressure and power steering. Before passing away in 2012, my dad owned a number of vintage tractors including a Ford 800 with an Arps Loader, a Ferguson TEA 20 and a Massey Harris Pony that came with a front mounted spring controlled blade, belly mower, chain harrows and wheel weights. Dad’s last tractor was an 1972 International 434 (gas) with loader. Out of all of these, my favourite all-round versatile tractor was the 1958 Ford 800. It did not have power steering and the front end loader had a trip bucket - that said, it had great pulling power and was easy and forgiving to drive.😂🇨🇦✌🏻

Hello Yorkshire man. There’s always some sad inadequate twat who has negative stuff to say, not 100% sure why some individuals turn out like that?! But in my experience it’s usually becos the sad idiots aren’t themselves getting attention. Pathetic. Decent folks who graft & especially when they’ve been involved in restoring plant or race cars road cars themselves appreciate & support folks who do this kind of work. It’s almost always work one has to do in your spare time & requires many hours of relentless dedication, I kno I’ve been there myself. So hats off to you for your sterling effort & a great result to save an iconic tractor. Cheers & all the best

How could that French guy know from watching that short video how that tractor was prepared for paint? Hrs a dush, dont listen to guys like that. You did a lovely job. We all have to learn somewhere. Personally If it was me now knowing what I know I'd use a paint von rust treatment before primer and that'd keep the rust at bay. But thats just a tip for future projects. I think it turned out great and you should be proud of your work considering the condition you found it in.

Many thanks .....love the comment 👍

thank you 😀

thanks i enjoyed doing it

Thank you terry , hope your keeping well

Hi john , yes im sure the young chap who bought it will spend a lot of time enjoying it 👍👍

Good luck! you will enjoy doing it 👍👍

@@Ayorkshiremansdailygrind you can have a look on my youtube channel 💯

@@deranocasper i will tonight my friend 👍

Hi , i used the red oxide on the areas where i have either sanded the rough paint and rust off or there was no paint remaining and was almost bare metal i did red oxide some of the areas at the front of the tractor but generally the original paint was covered well already after cleaning so i just built it up with grey primer prior to top coat . Hope this helps and good luck with doing yours i thoroughly enjoyed doing mine 👍👍👍👍

i forgot to say that the top coat was put on both red oxide and grey primer has it was ..... it covers well 👍👍

@@Ayorkshiremansdailygrind Cheers, yeah it's quite a good feeling to restore such an old tractor to it's former glory. I have wire wheels the most the rear end so I'll red oxide that, then any that already has paint I will just paint over it with grey primer then top coat, no need to sand it/rough it up before paint?

@@MrZimmaframe i didnt rough up or sand primer before top coat the paint went on very well ...👍

@@Ayorkshiremansdailygrind Doing it now, and you're right the top coat goes on really well 👌🏻. I hope mine turns out half as nice as yours 😂.

i dont know about kilowatts bit the 3 cylinder was i believe 37 Hp and the 35 x was 44 Hp

original logbook with 35x on it all matching engine numbers etc .

you are a good person .......best tractor 👍👍
