i could only get 50mm screws to suit so i had to cut every one to roughly 8mm !! like i said fiddly .

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 ........

Great thread, really enjoying it. Always look forward to the updates.

Is it me or are the lift arm ends upside down?its just the arm ends seem to point outwards rather than roughly parallel to each other.

That's industrial ac wire but open to correction.

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 .

the industrial badge was also mounted to the backing plate and bolted on to the grille !!

so he had been making good progress on his own , now i know a lot of you had noticed that i made a pure balls of the lift arms so i remedied that today , don't know why i didn't notice it before now i guess im seeing yellow in my sleep at this stage !!!!!

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 bastard 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 !!!!

got the doors fitted with glass and all new rubbers , i have new lock handles to go on too just not in the picture , the new smaller edge beading finishes them off lovely and doesn't foul when closing which the old one was doing .

so we were struggling to get some rubber to go between the windscreen ( which can hinge open ) and the cab to prevent vibration and also to create a bit of a seal from the elements . i tried loads of places but no one had anything to suit so i resorted to a waterproof strip for around car doors and cutting the actual " squishy " bit off and bonding that to the back of the windscreen frame itself , it worked out ok but i didn't get a chance to try it on the tractor because some numpty ( ME ) managed to put the hinge part of the frame on backwards when the frame was being assembled so i had to rip that apart last thing and re-do it so no pictures of it on the tractor because the windscreen sealer has to set !!!!!

Agreed. If he's going to use it as a tractor, he should at least bring it to a few shows first.
