The draught control on the Massey isn’t working . It’s the draught control keeps the implement (e.g. plough) at a constant depth independent of the tractor’s ups and downs as it travels over the ground. Very clever system invented by Harry Ferguson some 80 years ago. Anyway mine isn’t working so armed with the workshop manual and a phone, to call a friend, I’ve started to dismantle the Massey. Minor problem the Massey came off the production line in 1960 and so all the nuts and bolts are imperial and all my large spanners are metric.  Tracked down some large spanners and I’ve got the offending part off,  it’s off to the mechanic tomorrow.

Whilst the tractor is in the shed I’ll try and fix the fuel leaks. Got the fuel tank off to sort the drip from the tap and clean out 50 years of muck. Need a few washers to sort the rest of the leaks out, all in all no biggy.  As you can imagine the old girl is not looking at her best.
