Massey Boy

Some nice pictures there, a good varitation of kit near you aswell!

Ahh yeah! Well it could well be a DM4, i will find out the serial number and have a look when i go back to work

Well i am just going by the photo, the looks of things theres only 3 ports going out on the exsaust manifold! There is a V5 for it which i havnt got yet so that will have the date when it was registered on it, i will see if i can find the plate on it mate. I remeber seeing one i think, but wont be able to find out till after christmas as its at work! Yeah thats right, and the steering dose need attension its rather slack and wobbely haha!

Yeah thats what i thought Tim easy enough to get the parts and its worth spending the money! And yeah now you have said that it dose look like a 3 cylindar looking at the exsaust manifold, DM3 it must be! Yeah cheers for the info i think i can get hold of some, i will make sure its the stuff you have said about first!

Hello everyone! Its been a long time since i have posted on the forum, since then alot has happened and ive bought 2 more tractors First of all early this year i was looking for a tractor to go through and restore as a project, so when the massey 165 came up on a local farm just off the yard scraper i soon snapped it! She is rather rought so theres plenty to do, i havnt really started anything on her yet but tha main thinks that need attention are, brakes and clutch. Costmetically she needs a full respray and new back wings and the back wheel rims are a ***** worse for wear . I think its from 1967 cause the date registered on the V5 is 20/03/67. My plan is to do her right up to show condition, might take a while haha Heres a more recent picture of Flossie the Te-20 parked next to an new holland tl100a from where i used to work , shes going well but is need of a few bits like new spark plug leads! Now onto the Nuffield i only brought this one a few weeks, and to be quiet honest i am not even sure its a DM4 but i think thats it The previous owner stored it where i work, and i got it offered to me at a good price so i brought it. There are a few littel problems but they wont take too much to sort, i am hope to do it up so its in working condition. Its road registered and all so it will be good for road runs!

Thanks Ghost! Thanks Mike, do try to get them all good focused nicly, some times its a bit harder with a phone camera! Thanks very much Niels! Hope fully get out a bit more this year if i have the time. Have to say alot of the photos would be nothing without the countryside! Thanks Chris!

That is very nice, think you got it spot on Teagle are made just down the road from me!

Thats everything from last year hope you enjoyed them comments and questions welcome

Thought i would post up some pictures i took at the end of last year, not quite sure how to change the topic name with new forum thou haha

Cheers Josh! And i think thats what happened Thanks very much David! Thanks Texas, the scenery dose make some of the photos!

On thursday our local Manitou dealer had a demo day at college, and have to say your right about the Health and saftey takes over i had a bucket full of soil in the 634 and the weight alam was going off when i lifted it abit \ Was nice to drive but know a few about and seem to spend alot of time broken down! If i was to buy a new handler i would go for a Merlo or a Jcb, as there both good machines to drive and pretty relible in my opion, the Claas scorpains are meant to be good but ive havnt had any experience with them and if there like the Targo's there not worth going near. Wouldnt go much on cat aswell!

We have one, it might be a 12.5 cubic yard thou as it looks bigger and is on bigger tyres, dose that matter?

Very nice! What bonnet did you use, or did you make your own?

Says in the back of the farmers weekly if you got one about But there not making very much, £60-100 a tonne if i remeber right

Yeah exactly just drive on! And i dont have a clue? Whys thats? Theres the big tall ones, but there planning on taking some of them down and putting ones twice the size up and a few farms have there own small ones.

Thanks very much Johny, it is very nice the hill i took the first pictures of the new holland tx from you can see for miles all around! Cheeere Paul, The lastest update most were taken between Zelah and Goonhaven Thanks Tris And yeah got plenty enough hills! And the deutz has the straw guides taken off, i think its so you dont have to weave when baling as its the full pickup width!

Thats fair enough! Looks very good anyways

Loooks goood! Cormac, ( Cornwall council) used to have yellow mccormicks but never one like this haha

Thats All for now comments and questions welcome Thanks Pat, Plenty of hills here good for photography but can some times make farming them a bit tricky haha!
