It is wonderful to see how some people neglect equipment and then give up on it, when a bit of resourceful fixing can bring it back to fully operational. You paid a fair price considering the work of getting it out. The cost of spares was worth the time and effort you put into the beast. You have a nice, relaxed style of working accurately while presenting. Circlips, and spring steel clips in general have an unmet desire for interplanetary travel, well done for limiting their wander lust.

"Promise me you won't bring any more tractors home" 🤣🤣🤣 She is such a trooper! ;)

I’m a mechanical engineer from the uk and it’s always a pleasure to watch how precise and thorough you are with everything Marty. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻

A man who is good at his job is fit for the company of kings. Cool, calm, collected and modest with it. Brilliant.

Great to see the Machine Whisperer save another abandoned unit. Again the accurate diagnosis and expertise engineering around these machines provide calming viewing and learning. The Secretive neighbours might be fine tuning an invention and are camera shy about it😅😊

Being off a farm, always let the boss drive the tractor. Well done mate. Looking forward to your next acquisition.

Well done Marty. Very resourceful going through a Japanese supplier to get the specialized parts. I believe you've got a $400 gem.

One of the best thing the internet did was the resources for parts.... down side is it also raised the prices of said parts. It's a win/win situation

I swear you can hear these old machines breath a sigh of relief when you get done with fixing them!

You're a smart man Marty getting the Mrs to drive the tractor - of course she will want to have some fun driving the next one you acquire.

Looks as though she’s claimed that one for herself! Even parked it in the garage!

A tractor for Mrs T. A brilliant move!

thank you Mr T. Please keep buying more machinery!

Between your ingenuity in extracting the tractor and your skill in sourcing parts and fixing the problems you have a well deserved pile of garden mulch. Well done!

That little press paid for itself on this job. good job

Tusen takk for god underholdning. 👍🤗👍

New video from Marty.... immediately know what I’m doing for lunch. I love this !!

That high speed brush grinding was highly satisfying, you could make a whole ASMR video of that 😆

Mrs. Marty T driving it like a boss!

the Mrs did a pretty good job driving and parking it.

Hobbies are great, Marty likes rescuing and restoring dead and abandoned machines. When he gets something better, or runs out of parking space he can always sell for a profit. Our hobby is enjoying watching him do it.

I hope when the apocalypse comes these videos are somehow still available. They will be an invaluable resource!

I actual love the sound of the Auld tractor.

I love your "refuse to quit" attitude. I mean translating the part name to Japanese and snagging it? Love it.

To me, it’s not just the content and your easy presentation style, it’s the thought you put into the filming. I love seeing these old machines living again because you have that skill sadly lacking in today’s society ingenuity and inventive creativity. Great stuff Marty, proper Kiwi! 👍👍👍

I hung out in a mechanic's shop a lot when I was a boy and he could fix anything. However, he was always stressed out and saying things under his breath that he didn't want young boys to hear. Your videos are so calming and relaxaing to watch. Love the way you work and solve problems.

I'm glad that my press isn't the only one that moos when the pressure is released.

Watching Marty work is like therapy !!!!

Cmon Mrs Marty.... gotta love old iron. They help getting stuff done 😆👍

This machine was a gem for the four hundred dollars you paid. Hope one day I will find one that is just a great for a fix it up price. Nice work and well done fella too.

Marty T . KZfaqs favorite kiwi and king of the Bush and other fixes . Grand job on the Kubota mate . That's another awesome deal that will last you forever!!

That's the way to do it, get the wife to drive it around and work with it, co-opting works! That tractor is sweet.

Thank god you had your fingers crossed in the end…! You can never bring home to many tractors. This seems to be in a very nice condition as well!

One mans trash is another mans treasure, you've got a good tractor there ! 👍🏻

Seems to be a very thankful machine. Great job on rescuing it! 🙏👍

The trick of bring more tractors home is to let the Mrs. drive around ;)

Marty never ceases to amaze me when he does a rebuild on his rolling stock. Unlike me, he never has any parts left over at the end. How he gets all the parts back in is remarkable. That is why I now only watch, drink the his beer and give “advice.”

Marty repaired and goat approved 😆 Well done, I thought this guy was going to be converted to a 2WD, but you pulled off another Marty revival special.

LOL! I love the livestock "conga line" during the quick test drive. 😂

Mate well done getting this old girl back into shape. Thoroughly enjoying this series 👍

Good for you... where there’s a will, there’s always a way.

Best videos that really show everything detail by detail and really show the machinery doing some work, not like others guys who just start up machines and show if they really do any work at all

You are a very confident mechanic Marty. Your wife is beautiful

You are a smart man. If you want me to fall in love with a tractor, let me drive it. Nice video.

LOL Marty's wife goes to the freezer for tea ... frozen veges, steaks, bearings ... :)

Job well done Marty

20:32 sheep's seal of approval.. Tractor is now field qualified :-)

That would be one of the funnest little tractors to have!

Retired automotive instructor from Canada here, watching and thinking that repair techniques are similar wherever you go (assuming access to equipment) including centre punching a loose bearing bore and using 1" drive sockets to press parts together. Nice work.

Well here I am watching Marty after midnight. All is well lol.

She fell in love at the Cubota 😀😄 nice tiny machine

Nice one, you have a good pair of hands on you, now the mrs is interested in driving your tractor, all you need is mower deck for it and she can cut the grass job done ✔ 👍 😀

It's hilarious how your partner can get on there, drive it, and park it in the garage with no drama. In America, you'd be hard pressed to find a couple where even one of them knows how to operate or even understand a manual transmission. Nice work by the way

I have a similar, slightly older version of this tractor, with a very leaky seal on the right front portal axle. Not nearly as much slop in the system, but I watched very closely to see how it comes apart and how the seals are situated. Thanks for posting all of this. Very informative and entertaining. Nice score, and great work on this little beast. They are excellent machines, and serve their owners well. Also, the rear tires are mounted backwards on your machine. Just a swap side to side will correct it if necessary.

KZfaq in the past two weeks* has been recommending channels I watched a video or two from early in 2020. In the case of this channel specifically I recall the grader you were repairing at the time. And now with watching you repair this little tractor I think it's time I subscribe :) *and ones I watched like a decade ago

Martys Mrs meticulously manoeuvres the mighty machine, marvellous!

Good to see that little tractor feeling chipper again😉

My wife, Karin, just saw this and now she wants one! Nice job on the repairs. You have another excellent machine to use. Thanks for the video and greetings from Germany.

That press makes life wonderful!

That’s the only project that could do with a wash and polish, a great job for the wife.

Always nice to see something put back into a serviceable condition .

Love how your wee tractors get a determined look on their face once you give them some love .. it’s like he treats me so good 😊 I‘ll work real hard now naw your wife just needs to look into their souls and find the love such a cute video thanks for sharing xx

Your pov work when you are at the bench/press is v.good

"Do you want to drive it?" - "Yes, I'll give it a go."

I'm 67, but always love watching videos like this cause I can pick up new tips and tricks for repairing things in unusual circumstances. I also hoard any unusual parts. Which even though I have many boxes of these things, often because I just like the shape or appreciate it's function. This came in handy a few years ago when a neighbor's son was assembling a baby crib from his parents and his mother came to me asking if I had a certain piece of hardware which they were missing to safely complete the crib. I told her it looked very familiar, but to give me a day to rummage through my stuff. Yep! I had just that piece of hardware! So thanks Marty for your efforts, I'm sure they must help 100s of people in similar circumstances!

If a bearing has movement (at that, noticeable on camera) but it's smooth, then there's likely even more damage than seen. Good choice to replace it, especially after all that good work! :)

Good job Marty. A cheap tractor for you and now running well!!👍👍

All things considered you got a good little tractor for a swan song!

Well that turned out to be a handy little tractor Marty , a real pleasure watching you maintaining Jaws , cheers mate .

Great job again Marty. Don't know how you find these bargains, but with a bit of your know how and few hours work, you always end up with a diamond.. 👌😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

As usual another great video from you on how to do maintenance. Very nice move to let your Lady drive the little Kubota. It seem she enjoed that and immediately forgot you promising not to bring more tractors home. 😂🤞

Very good, compact format! And if the wife is also happy, that's a bull's eye.

Marty collects tractors like some people collect stray pets LOL Good to see the boss supervising at the end and showing us how to use the equipment... :)

Damn that was fast ! Good Job Marty!

Well the kids look thrilled with your choice of a father😊

That's why having the skills to work on mechanical things are priceless anyone can take junk and make it good again I been working on stuff all my life

It was a real pleasure watching you work on that machine! Well done in producing a very viable small tractor from the ditch.a

Hello Marty, I saw about 6 video,s of your machinery’s repairs and I saw a Master in fixing old and broken machinery’s! I like that very much and so now it is the time to give you the compliments you earned. And much regards from us in Holland 🌷🌷🌷

She should be awarded a kubota. Tractor 🚜 licence ..

Another great rescue Marty , that plasma cutter is a great tool . Thanks for the video 👏👏👏👏👍🍺🇬🇧

A very good deal on a nice little tractor and a top notch repair on the front wheel assist too... very enjoyable!

Definitely the best tractor reviver I've seen on KZfaq! Your always positive!

"I promise not to", yeah, OK! We know better! Great bit of film! Thanks.

Nice little tractor, it was abused before and used over it's limits. Good job putting it back together!

Oh, please don't ask him to stop salvaging tractors and equipment. That is his life blood, and ours. You can always sell them off after repairs/restoration but please do not deprive us of his mechanical ingenuity. It is what makes him tick!

Marty, I found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching for the last 32 hours! I live in Southwest Michigan USA. I have loved tractors ever since Larry Rogalski, my older cousin put me in his lap when I was 4 years old (1962) and disked 40 acres of land. When I got older I worked for a local farmer for 13 grape seasons driving tractor along side a Chism single row grape harvester. It was the best time in my whole life! I loved that 1958 Massey Ferguson 4 cylinder tractor with Multipower. That old steel Lady and I had a lot of adventures together. I even recommited my life to the Lord sitting in her seat! And I cried like a baby when the farmer sold his farm and we had to part, because I didn't have enough money to buy her. Watching your videos has taken me back to those days, 1975 - 1987. Thank you from a 63-year-old man, who still dreams of a old red faded Massey Ferguson tractor named Dawn! May God bless you and your family!

"Promise you won't bring no more tractors home" LOL! Man, what a find. A bad-ass micro tractor. Well done, sir. Cheers from Louisiana.

I've never been so invested in the tale of a Japanese tractor wheel hub rebuild on an Australian farm

Awesome job on saving it. I love to see something that was going to be scrapped brought back to life. Also love that fact it's a kubota.

what a score mate!

Cleaning up NZ … one tractor at a time ❤.

"Promise me you won't bring any more tractors home"...that got an audible chuckle out of me. Love your vids--keep them coming!

What a darling of a tractor! Also impressed your missus knows the trick to changing gears on the go, don't ask it to go into gear, tell it to go into gear haha

Man Marty always finds a way to get things that appear broke to be completely operational in less than a week

My Kubota is like a grandchild to that one, I wouldn't trade it for anything! Enjoy!

Nice find , this series tractor is where everyone gets the idea that kubota and Kioti were the same. This is the only tractor that kioti and kubota manufactured together

That was quite a lot of work, requiring even a plasma cutter, no less. Beautifully and very meticulously done.

Found this by chance. I have a similar one that will need servicing in the spring. Your video gives me more confidence in doing it. Just FYI, I had mine out yesterday in -36C (Not a typo, Canada) and she worked hard blowing snow till I couldn't stand it any more.

I’ve enjoyed and learned from every single video I’ve watched from this channel. Thank you fir sharing. Keep up the good work brother

Mr T would be the most valuable asset to a colony in a Zombie Apocolypse! With my Geeky computer art skills I would be harvested for meat to keep him and his family nourished and fed. Keep up the great work Mr T!
