abandoned these tractors in the woods a few years ago, which one should I fix and will they start?

So in a few weeks there's a local tractor run that I would quite like to go on, I was looking on eBay for a tractor to buy, then I remembered that I have two rather broken tractors sat in the wood slowly rotting away, wouldn't it be better to get one of those back up and running instead? Now I will only have a an afternoon to focus on this realistically, so need to be sensible in which one I take on. So in this video I will have a look at the pair of them and see if I can realistically get one of them going in time for the event!

Do the Massey. Strip it down and sort it!!! It will be massively more useful around the yard too

Gotta be the DB for the run with the timescale you have, then get the Massey going as much better workhorse round yard. Be sure to take us all along with you! 😁

Do the massey more work but a more superior tractor at the end.

MF Yellow 30E option 2, not because it is more work, but because it will be harder to get out.

@Wyrm1701 3 ай бұрын

The yellow Massey is the better tractor but it'll take more doing to get it working. Very much a long term project, I'd say. The Brown is an absolute shed but it should be easier to get vaguely working.

@Woodn509 3 ай бұрын

I reckon doing the Massey would be better, worth the work. Though to be fair, the DB would be far quicker to get sorted!

@frankmcgorman962 3 ай бұрын

I'd say the advantage is for the Brown as a quick "fun" project (if you find the parts you need). The Massey sounds like it would be a more long term project, but very useful in the end.

I was just about to vote for David Brown, but then I thought I'd like the Massey to come back to life and run that in your 'parade'. I don't mind ( read that, care ) how much work it takes because my hands will not be the ones getting all full of oil, dirt etc. ( or as old Arthur used to say, " shit, muck and bullets ). Yes, g'on run the Massey.
