Will it start? Abandoned Massey Ferguson 1100

hi everyone welcome back to jt's barn and grill and fluffy so i had to take a little hiatus from videos for a few minutes i had to find the perfect project to work on oh and if we got something for you [Music] say hello to big red this is a 1972 massey ferguson 1100 94 horsepower what more could i ask for now she's been sitting a long time uh the motor was seized up a little while ago but i was able to take a crowbar and a sledgehammer and it's not seized up anymore and uh so that's a step in the right direction um the big question today is after this thing's been setting so long will it run let's find out let's just take a moment and take this thing in we've got a few pieces to work with here look i'm going to need some fuel filters that has got to be the god ugliest cab i've ever seen but you know whatever price was right got good air conditioning back here for sure got to watch out i'm coming behind you late three point look at that this thing's practically cherry i don't know why anybody would even park it really new that's nearly good enough true okay we got a battery in it like the manufacturer suggests you but i've only got one so you know run what you brought and hope you bring it off let's see what happens let's see if it rolls over it's not gonna start but we'll see if it rolls over that's that's a good place to begin huh how about that no seat oh well perfect i feel like it's gonna run i think the first place for me to start on this unit is right here one of these fuel filters has been open for god knows how many years and i'm sure the other one looks less than good inside diesel engines are pretty simple you don't have any spark plugs no distributor no wires nothing like that you just have to get fuel to these fuel injectors without having without any air and get the engine rolling over to produce some heat and bang you run it so let's get these changed out see if we can get the fuel system bled out and uh fingers crossed let's see if this baby will go [Music] [Music] i think i lost my tractor all right well it's a day and a half later fuel filters changed it got cold out here so this is now going to become a will start in the cold i gotta bleed the fuel system out i'm gonna go through that i'm gonna hit the old hand pumper here for about a half an hour until i get at least fuel to the injection pump then we'll crack the lines again oh the lines will be cracked we'll start cranking on it and uh wait for some smoke to start coming out and then good things will happen so [Music] okay i got all my injector lines cracked now it would seem really easy since you're standing right here you could just take a screwdriver and jump the old starter and you know watch everything happen from right right close up never never ever start your tractor unless you're sitting in the driver's seat a lot of good farmers have said this thing's in neutral jumped it and run themselves over and i don't want to see that happen to anybody so do the right thing sit in a driver's seat to start your tractor every time i'm safely out of harm's way [Music] i decided to hook a little chevy power to it can't hurt let's give that a try um okay uh okay i need like five more batteries in it since this is clearly going so well i'm gonna plug the block heater in for a while leave the battery charge go have a sandwich and i'll come back in 10 minutes maybe an hour okay well it's been about an hour belly's full i'm gonna do something i absolutely hate doing we're gonna hit a little snort start here let's see what happens take 600. uh i guess nearly new wasn't nearly good enough so we're going to upgrade to super start seems like that's going to work oh there okay little snort and start snort [Music] [Music] [Laughter] so well there you have it she's running stay tuned because there's going to be a lot more fun stuff to come with this thing we're going to have to split her because there's a couple of little things i'm not real sure about but uh stay tuned we'll see you next time [Music] [Music] whoa [Applause] you
