It looks like negotiations are over. Mr twostep will be dropping off the other massey 1650 on Monday.



He well be keeping the 3ph but at least I'll still have the good ole 2000rpm pto lol. Better pictures to follow when It gets here.

Looks a lot like the sunstrad setup in my Ariens.

 

If so, its not so bad to work on.

Good luck finding those good ole 2000 rpm rear implements

I'm not worried about finding any implements. I am going to try to use it on a feed mill of mine. I'll start a thread on that at some point. It's there any way to gear it down to the usable 540?

there was actually a factory reduction drive that bolted on the back, but I'm only seen pictures of 2 of them. I wouldn't want to imagine price tag if you did find one.

Yep, idle down your engine to about 900rpm.

Despite me but holding up my end of the deal exactly as promised Bobby and I still traded. I got this he got the cub project I had at plow day.

It's a clean un molested tractor.







Better pictures when I get it out side.

They guy put a rod out of a smaller engine and was to short. Details are not clear if it was this one or the one off the snapper. I've got a battery charging and I'm going to see if I can get it started. If anyone has a rock shaft that would fit this let me know.

Cool Massey! A little TLC and you'll be plowing with it.

If Scott hadn't sold me the HD-12 Hog, that Massey was coming to my place.  Glad it found a home.

Spark plug was loose and there was no oil. Put a different coil and a new plug. Adjusted the points and got a little spark. Cleaned the carb bowl. It's flowing fuel out the inlet so I have to mess with that. She's a no start today. All the wiring looks good. From what I can tell a unmolested tractor.

Also the fuel pump looks new(plastic) I have a cheap compression tester which showed nothing. It does blow my finger off the spark plug hole when I had my finger over it. I suck at rebuilding carbs so that should be fun

I sure hope you can bring her back to life. I think she has a LOT of life left in her and will be a great GT.

 

Oh and don't worry, I'll get even with you... I saw a thing or two around there that we might have to work out a deal on.

Little diesel not for sale lol We need to get a hold of the po and find out exactly what was done.

Replaced the battery cables and fixed a few other little wiring issues. Throttle and choke cables are good to go. Compression looks a little low so it looks like I'll be pulling this engine. This one must have the supposed short rod which means the other one should run but smoke.

They're a great machine, you'll be happy with it once you

get it going. I use mine all the time.

Did you get a deck with it.
