MASSEY FERGUSON 135/ MF20 INDUSTRIAL FULL RESTORATION

helooooo , its me again !!

had another day in the workshop , the electrician was back for a few hours and i spent a good part of the morning going around gathering even more bits and pieces ,

i spent the remainder of the day of the glazing the front and back windows .

but first i was finishing of the back end area , the owner got a neat spring to stop the lift arms from swinging and hitting of the inside of the tyres but eliminates the use of a nine hole bar thus leaving the lift arms free for use , i had to weld on two lugs and get them painted prior to fitting it !!

hopefully thats the rear end done now ........

Is it me or....... are the arms on back to front/up side down/wrong way round? Sure the bend on the end where the ball is goes inwards on our 135s.

I think you're right on that.
 
hello everyone , its me again , still trawling away at the Massey . i was wrote off with a bloody flu all week so only getting back out at the tractor today , the brother had been working away in my absence and the first thing i noticed he had done was paint the roof .

he also fitted a stainless steel plate for the beacon to sit on and the owner had gotten new sound deadening from Logan mcmaster in the north so he fitted that as well .

today was one of those annoying bloody days where nothing seemed to go right for us , had the electrician in to finish wiring up a few bits and from the get go nothing wanted to work !!!! took ages to figure most of it out , silly stuff like the flasher unit was faulty ( ive a new one on order ) light switch shorting out and not working properly and the real barsteward was when we started the tractor to check things were working the amp meter wouldn't work at all , in fact the tractor didn't seem to be charging at all and the diesel gauge refused to work despite everything being brand new ............ like i said " one of those days " , i had to walk away from it more than once .

anyway the problem we found out after an awful lot of head scratching was because of the thickness of paint on the engine and where the dynamo bolts on she wasn't making a proper earth thus not creating a good circuit and fooking everything up !!!

all sorted now and everything working as it should including the two speed wiper motor !!!!
