860 massey clean up and the barley is ready to swath!

uh i don't know what that is there be probably [Music] hey guys how's she going today well you've been asking for it here she is the old sassy massey one of my personal favorites but look at this disaster god damn mice so we're gonna have to vacuum this all out and i bought a bunch of different stuff to try here to get rid of the smell as well as a bunch of cleaning product we're going to clean it all out and at the same time i'm taking the roof off because this is going to be just packed full i'm sure just like every other year actually it's not surprisingly not that bad they got a nest there gross so we're gonna lift the roof off because this machine ever since day one has had like next to no air coming out of the fence and my theory is our unwanted little pets have plugged and or eaten all the ducting out of the roof here because the fan's back here and blows up to here i put a new fan in it last year if you remember because that one the old one died on me and uh that fan moved air like a put it in there nothing so that's our plan twan's going to be going to bail his green oats here but i'm going to try and get these bolts undone by the time he's done fueling the 4440 up and then get his hand from him to lift it off amanda's here also she's in visiting grandpa and grandma and the kids are out here biking around but they're the old smoke stock so that's the plan anyway get this all apart and uh we're gonna service her at the same time while we're here it doesn't need too much work just more or less cleaning and an oil change and some filters so anyway talk to you in a few okay you can't take the roof off this here machine oh that'll show up for you or not see that the idiot spot welded the roof on so took all these bolts out for nothing so what i've done is got this open cleaned out all the mouse that i could i'm gonna wash it all down with bleach i don't know got the roof panels out flip that down i don't know how bad i want to show you what happened inside here once i took that roof off oh my sweet jesus anyway so the roof here had foam how this works that folds up here and your fan blows through hits the stopper and then comes out your vents well there was foam in here and they got between the foam and the roof filled with the grain and it all collapsed that's why i've never had any air movement in this cab so of course once you started taking things apart she all went the heck on me big mess anyway i guess get the vacuum going and clean her all up and give her a good wash and she should be like new again but gross [Music] [Music] [Music] i know you're not supposed to touch that but i'll go wash my hands dude the best part is too i wanted to buy some masks for this you know what 3m masks are actually meant for yeah all gone so that's nice you probably can't see any of this but christmas anyway this is so much fun oh look at that showroom quality right there way more gooder now i'm gonna give the old girl a shot of bleach i think all over the place bleach it real good and then the little can't smell their piss trail and in theory they don't come back but they always do but at least it gets rid of the piss smell a little bit other than that i'll have to just sit in there and threaten them when they come in right no anyway i guess we'll talk to you again here in a few okie dokie so hang this poor up somewhere it's all stretched out what i've done is i made a couple pieces here of just hard foam to fill in the gap and put it up here and held it in place with silicone just for a little bit of insulation between the roof and the sun outside and the way the fan works saw them in here a bit better so this will stand up and seal against here and the fan blows through these cores one's heater one's air conditioning comes through these vents here i don't need that anymore because that soft foam's gone i always hear something rattling in the roof i'm pretty sure it was those things someone made there to try to hold the foam up so that shit's all gone now the wind blows through here this space and comes up and hits the end here and this is where your vents are so that's how the air gets in the mice had that all full of grain in there and it was collapsed down against the headliner and the air couldn't get through so should be way more gooder now i think so i get my assistant down there to hand me the uh headliner piece that we just javaxed and i'll get it bolted back into place too well after all that work it still doesn't blow any air and out of the vents i don't know just how this combine is i guess don't you like my ranch i have here i've got the proper one on the ground but ah it means you gotta get down and climb back up it ukrainian sockets that'll work anyway bolt my antenna back on oh holy got the kung fu flu i think anyway i get this bolted back on and then we'll see what else i should have videoed my 110 iq idea but i was didn't have time to now that i didn't have time to i just didn't really want to because i was kind of pissed off anyway so all that around it still didn't move any air and the van says you know used to be here and i was thinking to myself well take this all apart and see if there's any wind coming out right i took it all off turn it on and yeah there's a bit of a breeze so i thought well why don't i put the vents in backwards put the headliner in so the vent is actually over your head so what little bit of ac there is coming out you actually get right so i done that and it wasn't bad and then i thought you know why don't i block off just past the vents so any air coming actually has to come out these vents so i glued a second piece of that foam board on i could have actually probably done three but we'll do it like this for now and try it now holy you can almost tell the fans blowing oh you feel that wow it's almost like someone's breathing at you from a mile away that's nice anyway we'll get uh get this put back up again and then talk to you in a few minutes all righty amanda just got done wiping everything down with mothers the cleaner stuff look at that all cleaned out ready to rock but i have to do the engine oil on it and blow the filters out and grease it yet as well as it needs a new cable here on the batteries needs a new end so we taped it last year to just get us through but uh it keeps around it needs that as well as the kicker plate back here last year fell off we just had a there's a piece of plywood bolts on here and the holes pulled out so we come up with something a little bit better for this series it's uh the axle so far back on grandpa's old 750 the axle was there so the chaff just fell off but this it needs something to get past it so and put that on and then probably pull the chopper back and put that kicker plate on for dropping straw to make the sloth a little narrower so it's easier to bail and then check gearbox oils this one here always leaks that's got that double 80 drive chain in it that's a real bastard of a thing to change all of you guys remember when we done that that was a while ago but and then grease it and i think it needs a feed finger there i don't know if i got any left for this one so it might not get it because i am not driving two hours to the massey to go get a feed finger i'll wait till it's got a couple missing one doesn't really matter oh yeah and then this big spring i got one of those i ordered i just got to go pick it up now um yeah i think that's all i can think of for now so i'll see how many minutes i got on this video but i want to go out and take a look at the the barley and see what stage it's at because i want to try and do the majority of the barley with this guy for dropping straw because i have all the straws again and this one leaves the most amount of straw compared to the rotaries i get more bales that way so i don't want to bring this one home if the barley's going to be ready before the peas because i want to use this one in my peas too and drop a little bit of pea straw with it as well 20 30 acres worth kind of deal probably and then for antoine's peas we'll use the two rotaries because they do a better job than the cylinder the cylinder like this cracks them just because it's more aggressive than what a rotor is because it's got to do all its thrashing in that one little motion there where's the rotary you've got a lot more times you run it a lot slower so anyway i guess it's enough rambling we'll talk to you at the barley so i haven't been here for a little while but if they weren't calling for rain here in a couple days i would actually be knocking this down already quite a bit of this stuff as well i see over there how bent over the heads are there's quite a bit like that already it's been unbelievably windy here the last couple days i don't see any uh any head loss knocked the beards off but i don't see any seed going in this crazy wind like this so when it gets wet it'll make it a little tougher if it does get windy and rainy but so we're gonna be swathing here pretty gold darn soon hopefully this rain goes away and i can start right away but i guess that's probably where i'm gonna leave you guys for now um thank you much for watching if you hit that like button comment subscribe for more and don't want to miss out on the barley harvest you better make sure you subscribe
