Hello all. I'm an IH guy through and through, sorry, but I run an 1105 Massey farmin. And I am having a few problems with it...First and foremost, she burns oil. Like, buy it by the case or barrel and it will last you the summer. I probably add a gallon per day, maybe more, I'm scared to add it up. This is running 9 foot discbine. It NEVER smokes, besides the little Perkins puff at the beginning, and has great power and throttle response. But I have no leaks, no drips, nothing in the water, and surely nothing spitting out of the exhaust. I thought at a gallon a day I would see it spraying my windshield. What is going on here? I believe it has been overhauled in the past (same family has owned the tractor), when it would have been (hour-wise) I'm not sure, but I can't find where the oil could be going. Also, I have two other gripes about it... I have no brakes, like they don't kick back and I only have half response from one of them. What is going on there? And the PTO decides to turn itself off once in a while, I'll be mowin along and suddenly whirr..... if I put the clutch in and wait, the diskbine will kick back on but I have to let it run for about 10 seconds, if I put hay into it again it will do the same thing in about 40-50 feet. I have awesome hydraulic lever response and power steering, but I have nothing for brakes or PTO. I would like to use the machine on the silage blower but if it dared to do something like that just once it would be disasterous. The discbine isn't even all that power consuming, we run it with the 1655 Oliver without a problem. If anybody can give me any Massey insight I would throughally appreciate it. If it helps anyone, I grew up on a 165 Massey and it is still one of my favorite tractors of all time!!
