Today’s video is all about the Massey 50 digger 🚜

We’re trying to get it starting properly on the key, so we dive into a full electrical overhaul — changing the starter, alternator, ignition switch, and wiring loom.

The big question is… will it finally start the way it should?

🔧 In this video:

Replacing the starter motor
Fitting a new alternator
New ignition switch and wiring loom
