I love to see the old school working thanks for up load dan 😊😊

Thank you Dan great to meet you! The noise on the rear is the auger slip clutch over riding! This unfortunately needs replacing just another outstanding job to do! Of the many that needed doing to get this old girl up and running again! But I’m well pleased we managed to save her from a very uncertain future. And hopefully her future now secured to harvest on !😉👍

It was offered to farmer Phil when in one of his videos he said they'd like a 500, a deal couldn't be done so I sold it to Colin.

Saw my first MF500 in 63 and it was a sight to behold - this is certainly a cracking combine for it's age!

Fantastic video. A farm near me, had 2 MF515s. In 1998, I got to drive one. After years of watching them every harvest. Glad I did. Because they where retired after that season. Great experience. But I remember being a total mess by the time I had done 10 acres. Sweat and dust and exhausting.

Happy memories for me. My father worked on a large estate in Suffolk back in the early 70's and they had four 515's with fourteen foot headers. I used to ride on with him. Other Massey farms around here had 500/510's so these were quite rare. After those it was two lots of 625's before it went to three Claas Dom 105's with cabs. Luxury!

Great video Dan

Excellent film Dan. It brings back a lot of memories. My Dad drove a 780 Special on a farm in Dumfriesshire, but the etsate next door brought in a contractor who had one of the first 515's in the area. The speed of it was amazing compared to the old 780 I was used to watching.

Great video Dan brilliant bought back memories when dad drove one use to ride on the platform with him loved it.

By heck that took me back to my youth working on a bagger model combine - lovely video, thank you.

It's great seeing a restored tractor being worked and not being held hostage in the back of a barn somewhere

Loving it already. 👍 Big stuff in its day. Still doing its intended job to.. Cracking video. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It would be nice to see the 165 and 20 baler pull into the field behind the 515.

Great Video again Dan thats proper farming.

We bought a MF515 in the late 60s and drove it home { 70 miles} to our farm in Bucks It was a 14 ft cut with a header trailer behind . The multiflow was the worst addition to the combine because if you had to stop moving you had to reverse immediately or the straw leaving the straw walkers would pile up and block the multiflow ,If that happened and you did not notice the straw soon blocked the whole thing up, We eventually chopped it in for an MF525 in the early 70s .a much better machine ,

Another super vintage Thurs vid Dan. Just excellent. Always look forward to see what you post on a vintage Thursday. Keep them coming. 👍👌💪

great video bring back memories .

Fantastic video really enjoyed it, bought back some memories

Fantastic video, great to see a 515 in action!

Lovely to see a classic machine at work.Nice shots.

Great video because you had great weather and of course the opportunity to do cover the combine in work. Nice to see what the lever were and what they did too!

Definitely a good video Colin has some great kit and all well looked after

That 1200 sounds awesome.

Fantastic old machines done the job in their day

Fantastic video keep up the good work and vintage Thursday ,

That was an awesome film Dan loved working on them when I worked at jwt back in the 70s the great old 515 was one of the best that and the 525 / 625 range they were the best days without a doubt

propper job brings back memories

Amazing video Dan. Thanks for sharing that one. Lovely to see the local connection with John Wallis Titt & Co. Mr Poole Sr and maybe Jr may of worked on the 515 back in the day. Cheers

Great video lovely old combine the footage of the 1200 alongside with combine unloading on the move was best part for me 🙂

great video dan nice old school farming

Excellent video. In its day a really big combine. Nice to see. Loved the comment from another contributor that it just needed a MF165 and MF20 baler to complete the picture.

good to see it out working

I remember doing an overhaul on a 1200. The owner decided to get the brakes working again after 20 or so years without them working. The tipping point came when his son tried to change gear going down hill, he got it out of gear and couldn't get it back in. The tractor rolled off at high speed and proceeded to smash into one off his Claas Dominator combines and the tractor fell over. I found that the brake pipe had snapped off just behind the master cylinder. It had been like it so long that the slave cylinders had to go to a specialist to be refurbished as they were stuck solid.

I remember when these were state of the art ! Also have a soft spot for the Allis Chalmers - The Gleaner combines.

Brings back childhood memories..NO MF's in our area but Claas Matdor standard's. Being able to ride on a Claas Senator- no cab no H&S bring it back.. oh and checking behind the machine to see if it was throwing out too much grain etc.

Gotta admit, I think it’s my favourite vintage vid you’ve done, great to see the old girl working. Until this year I’ve never had anything to do with combines but I’m surprised how good a sample the old girls can make!

Fantastic to see and hear Dan and very well preserved combine and tractor. Thanks for filming and thanks to the owners for inviting you and sleeting us to see. Great stuff. Be great if you could explain the controls on your 1200 and any differences. Cheers mate.

Great video friend 👏love the 2 old machines working away side by side nice 👍please keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland

I have a mf 510 and still working.

Nice old girl, used to be 10 a penny around here, sadly almost all gone now, used to love how the multiflow left the straw swath, nice combines to follow with the baler, far better than the ones without the multiflow. a lot were replaced in the 80's by the MF 525 & still one or two 525's running today, the one's that have survived the onslaught of the 40ft cut brigade anyway. Great video Dan 👍

Great video as always keep them up

The 1200 looks well. Lovely purr from it.The only time I drove one thought it very noisey in cab

Combine is in great nic and the 1200 looking very nice👌

Great video. We had a 415 a year older than that model with alas no ram on the unload auger. Muggins here as a teenager landed the job of jumping on the back and pushing it out with the tip of your toe to get it into position. If you backed up with a blockage the rotor on the re thrash used to wrap itself with straw and set an alarm off. We had a few issues with it nearly having an engine fire on more than one occasion from the chaff settling aroun the engine.

Great vid thank you.

That’s a beauty. 👍👍

Fantastic 👍 great to see 👍 👍

Hi Dan not to sure about the noise at the start I like the yacing bit 🤔😆👍👍

Has it had a lick of paint. It looks very nice and bright. I got a couple of friends that collect this style of Massey combine. I have got a pair of little Allis Chalmers Gleaner model A's. I have been thinking of getting a different make of combine. One of these is definitely an interest to me. I would want one with a quick detach header. The trick is finding a nice one, a lot of rust buckets out there. This one looks great though well done. Keep on being kind to it. I was going to say that sounds like a rattle clutch buzzing away.

Still have the 6.354 engine,axles,and platform from think a 500 that I disassembled under a big tree,so I could hoist parts on trailer and drive it home,remember it had plus to mass like a 35 er.One day will make a tractor with tip platform like I did with my own 525.Thank you.

Great video Dan 👌 remember if u had to stop for any reason hit reverse quick before the straw wound itself round the multiflow 🙄🤬🤬😂

Have you driven a Rotselmash I think it’s spelt it’s German and I drove one was interested to know. When dark in Country I loved hearing that when was child reminded me I was going to do that one day! One day 32 years ago lol.

Hi Dan, realyy great equipment that combine. FArm on, Andreas

I was going ask if that was Colin Cloude then noticed his comment!

Wonder how many viewers remember doin more standing driving these combines than sitting 🤔😂

Good to drive but needed constant repairs, the bottom unloader gearbox was a nightmare.

Last decent combine MF made, great machine, they stretched the design to make the 525 , 625 and it went downhill from there.

1200😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Great old combine, the old multi flow attachment on the back, bit of a waste of money in my opinion, but lovely old girl.

very nice

Yes,sounds like the clutch can t get the axle to turn.

Nice video takes us back . Are the bearings made of hard wood . Your discription took me back to when my grandad was harvesting and a similar noise .

Enjoyed the video Dan pity there hadn't got a MF grain trailer.

Great video, well done. I was told by a distant relation that the older combines wasted less seed "over the back" than the modern units, primarily due to less speed. How true that is I've no idea.

It isn't true new machines are way better

Is that red and yellow swirl there so you can tell from a distance that its running?

Great video dan, hope to see you on yours one day cutting a bit, lovely old machine. Is that Trowbridge rugby club in the background?

No, this was filmed in Somerset.

Cut my teeth on a 780mf followed by a mf 500 then a mf 515,the rethresher and the cascade separator was always a pest in damp conditions, doesn't sound like the perkins a6. 354 engine

Great video Dan is the combine and tractor owned by Colin Cloud?
