Watching you hook that up takes my memory back almost 40 years now to me working in the bush with a 230 Timberjack cable skidder and a Husqvarna 266 XP . -30C , snow up to my belt . 8 or 10 hours of that a day and there was no need for a gym membership or a stiff drink to help fall asleep at night . Bush work isn't all glamour . LOL

Always useful to have a good supply of straps for these jobs!

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

Agreed! One can never have too many straps. I was lucky to score a good assortment of used ones - Just need to account for it, especially when lifting things. I try to always assume the strap WILL break. Thanks for the comment! And for watching of course ❤️

Pick up some anti-sieze for use on your bolts. Grease tends to let them loosen with use and vibration.

Love listening to that diesel. Assume that's a Perkins? i have a 1973ish MF165 2wd with a winch that I pull out firewood logs with in NY state. Your MF165 is nicely setup and I enjoy your videos. Thanks, and will look forward to more!

Cool video. Looking forward to seeing you do some logging. I did some logging way back in the day. I had a 225 Timberjack. Curious to see how your Massy does.

Awesome, I would love me a timberjack, that's a real skidder right there!⭐ I'll be going logging soon, once we have some proper frozen ground, shouldn't be too long now! Thanks for the comment, and for watching ❤️

@johnmchardy4502 6 ай бұрын

I think that loader should be higher and the bolt goes right through the mounting and the loader arm

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

Yeah it's kind of weird how it's mounted I agree, but that's the way it was when I took it off so I just put it back the same. It could of course have been mounted wrong before I bought the tractor. It's working as intended for now though. Thanks for the comment, and for watching of course! ❤️

Wish Massey would have offered the 165 4 wheel drive in the states , I spent alot of time on a 2 wheel drive when I was working on a farm in the 80s

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

That's awesome! Yeah, they're pretty neat with 4wd, but mine is no match for the proper 4wd models MF offered from the factory. Still found it helps a lot in the woods, compared to 2wd. Thanks for the comment! And for watching, of course ❤️

There is also one wire really close to the exhaust, at 13:35 you can see it, almost touching the flange.

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

Good catch! That's for the pre-heat glow plug, it's not in use at the moment. But the tractor could use some love in various areas, like wiring. Thanks for the comment, and for watching ❤️

Du burde få tak i originale bolter for å stramme skjæret fast i traktoren. Blir mye slark ellers! Morro å se filmene dine!

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

Ja. Vet ikke helt hvor jeg skal få tak i det originalt. Men, kan sikkert få hjelp til å dreie noe som passer. Takk for hyggelig kommentar! ❤

@user-lc6wg4jo9r 6 ай бұрын

@@woodlandwrench Hei! Dei er nok ikkje så lett å dreie. Eg veit ikkje å det heiter. Men den delen av bolten som skal presse ramma på plass er offsett i forhold til den delen som går igjennom holet. Så når en dreier på bolten blir ramma på skjæret, og ramma på traktoren pressa sammen. Dei kalte systemet for fleksomatic i si tid. Samme ramme og bolter til Sesamatic frontlaster. Ville søkt opp noen som hogger gammel Massey. Sikkert noen som har frå ein gammel frontlaster.

your saws look to be bigger both in engine size and bar length than what i see other euro cutters using.

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

That's right. 40-50cc with ~15" bar is very common around here. I like a bit more power and a longer bar. I've been very happy with the 400c saw with 24" bar, I use it for almost everything. Thanks for the comment ❤️

Ready to battle a Norwegian winter! Quite the struggle with those hydraulic hoses in the cold. Any reason why the roof is an old tarp and not solid steel?

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

Yeah we are ready now! In regards to the roof, there's a sunroof which is completely rusted through, so whenever there was rain or melted snow, I would get a complete shower whenever I went to drive it the next day, which I got tired of real fast. That's why there is a tarp on, just to seal the sunroof. I'd like to just replace the entire roof for a solid steel plate as you say, and I probably will in the near future. Thanks for watching once again! ❤️

Hey from ME USA, first time here. Are you always this polite or are you just half in the bag or high on the mountain........... Over past 10 years I watched some of you {across the pond} loggers with tractors, and I always shake my head that they never have a FEL on, for me a tractor is useless without one on, but least you have a blade which in some cases would be better than bucket, I'll have to check out some of your other videos........... When it comes to logging chains I run 5, 2@ 6' and 3@ 8', the 3> 8' I have the unbreakable>> {Tulsa Grade 100 Clevis Sling Hook with latch} easy on and easy off. I know they are unbreakable because for the past 10 years I haven't broken them, if I cant break it, it cant be broke...........

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

Hey! Welcome to the channel then! Glad to have you😄 Haha, I might be high on the mountain! But yes, I try to be polite and respectful in my daily life, at least after I've had my first cup of coffee! ☕ I'm not sure what a FEL is.. Front end loader? If so, then I haven't really missed it on this MF tractor, I have the New Holland for anything that needs it. Nice to meet you. Thanks for the comment, and for watching ❤️

A Little PAINT would Certainly Not Hurt this Tractor. It is a Shame to see it Rusting into the ground & Constantly detererating & "Rigged-Band-aided " to death. Plus ...IT could be made a Whole lot safer than just CONSTANTLY , Patching it UP ! Where is the "Love"?

@woodlandwrench 6 ай бұрын

I completely agree with you, and it is something I would like to tackle in the future. It hurts my soul a little bit to even use it, because it's actually a quite rare and nice tractor worth taking care of as you say. But mark my words, one day there will be a video on my channel about fixing it up proper! 😊 Thanks for the comment, and for watching ❤️
