I have a Massey 165 that’s been sitting and forgotten for 10+ years and it started and ran like it had been used yesterday 😮 those Perkins diesels are incredible

354 Perkins. It will be fine never a doubt. One of the best engines ever made.

Just put some fresh oil and check the rest of the fluids out then fill it up with a tank a good diesel head to the field, I'm sure the old girl would like to get out and do some work!! Good video

It's nice to see the old girl get a second chance, I'd bet if that had a strong battery on she'd of fired right up without the booster. I had an 1135 apart for a transmission rebuild, life changed and she sat 7 years while I worked for another guy. When I got back to it I'd got the cab back and thought I'd better shove a battery on it and just try the key to check wiring. That old girl fired right up 3rd turn on the fuel that was in the filters, there was no fuel in the tank yet. It was nice to see your comment about not really needing either and using a small amount . I can't stand watching guys do these video's where the batterys shot all the cable ends are near corroded right off they don't even try cleaning or replacing them. They don't even try bleeding fuel, it hardly cranks as the terminals glow red hot with resistance. Then they think drugging the poor thing on a whole can of head stud stretcher, will help L.O.L. This year I turned 48 and been doing this kinda stuff since I was 13, so I've done quite a few tractors and backhoe loaders over the years for my collection customer machines and for sale. The best one was a fordson E27N with a Perk P6 that sat over 40 years in a yard with it's sister tractor. It was stuck, I got it freed, cleaned the filters as new ones are hard to find in Canada. I changed the oil there was 40 year old fuel in it that was still good unlike this 6 month if you're lucky garbage now. I used a good battery and she fired right up with no ether. The other one wasn't so easy but I got that running after 3 days messing with it, they started out together and they'll stay as a pair even if I decide to sell them later in life. they are a cool story of somebody farming with them I haven't even washed them it will spoil that unique finish they've acquired since 1950 . Take care

Such a cool old tractor. Hope to see more of this

We had a 1100 massey ferguson back in the day using 8row equipment they are one tough tractor the perkins is one of the best disel engines built maybe the implement companys9of today could learn a few things from the people that built the engine glad to see u brought the old girl back truly well built

You guys are fricking awesome!

Awesome machine especially with a cab. I have an 1150 MF that I inherited from my late dad of July 22 my massey also needs to be restored however there an animal and I think that masseys where also always the finest ag tractors on the market they are a very underrated brand of farm equipment in my prerogative of farm reliability anyway your 1100 sounds great and very powerful hope you have great luck with your massey ferguson I love my massey fergusons. I also have others of that same ara keep em rolling .

Does NOT sound rough to me. Loping idle is just cold behaviour. No problem.

Beast of a Tractor!

I'm looking forward to seeing this thing actually work.

Good job gentlemen starting that tractor.

Hi im from good old New Zealand and i had a dear old friend that use to tell me that Massey Fergusons built this country.

Massey ferguson imt tafe.all from ferguson.i just love them.they are functioning after60 years

Cool looking tractor

No surprise ,these old Perkins 6354t engines are pretty tough and simple if the,ve got fuel they will start

One thing I've learned with a 354 Perkins if it's got fuel and a good battery and battery cables are ok it will start.

My dad had several Fergies including a 60, 200, 220 and a 265.

Perkins engine! Always start

Good ol nasty ferguson

Good job

What a beautiful old girl... ❤

Amazing the way perkins engine start up,must be the most reliable ever builth.

Don’t be afraid to let her have a bit more summer air there bud!

nice video but what is the tractor in the back ground looks like back wheel are metel

The neighbors had silage cut one year by a contractor who had a fleet of Masseys including a 1080 driving the harvester. Biggest tractor I’d seen. I was a kid then in Ireland. I guess this has to be a similar same machine different market.

Sounded like gummy injection at first start running fuel through seemed to help

El más grande de ese mismo modelo es el Massey Ferguson face 2 ,1098 acá en Argentina ,ahora el 1100 importado supongo que debe tener más de 100 HP caballos de potencia en polea

New looking tires and a shiny new stack? First start?

What is the chariot in the background with the tin wheels and loader ?

Would have been a good idea to start it and let run every 6 months or so.

It's sad to see equipment set that has no real issues. Most equipment is tired when parked. I know of a JD with less than 2000 original hours 1977 model sat outside it's whole life.

The guy in the dark blue shirt, is his name Tim? If it is, I used to work with him.

It undoubtedly has been rode hard and put away wet a few times or so

Dear Tractor companies why don’t most of you find an old lorry Frame or even rebuild a brand New Lorry Frame for building stronger and better Tractors and put those Volvo B10M, Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel engines for those stronger better Tractors so they can still use them for any farms and even lift a broken down Bigger Buses and even broken down Lorries, why don’t you build 5 and 6 seats so that other passengers can sit at the back and front including the driver. You can still build those four stronger medium sizes wheels and still make them even more farm tractor like than it still was before, please can you do those interesting idea’s for us tractor Lovers.

why was it parked for 6 years?

1100 were naturally aspirated tractors unless they were an add on that I know nothing about

You guys sure are afraid of spraying ether. Might as well point it in the air and spray

Can I buy it 😂

My saying is, if the block's not cracked and it's not seized, it'll start. Of course with MFs, it'll start white the block's cracked and it's seized and it's on fire and it's been sitting in a volcano for 2 billion years. Also why would you (whoever turbo'd it) put all the time and effort into turboing it when you could just buy an 1130?

By look of what appears to be another MF tractor with front end loader on, hasnt too been started for 6 years either, what a state to leave them both, who ever the owner was.

I thought this tractor sounded good for not running that long. My advice is run most of the fuel out. Then put Marvel Mystery oil in it with fresh diesel and that should do it. If not put new fuel filters on it again.
