I cannot believe what I have just seen. Most people including myself would have only gone to see if they could salvage some parts. Its a special person who has the skill and patience to diagnose and fix that tractor where it stood for so long. Marty I hope they can find somebody like you for the Mars colonisation.

Your face when the engine started. Never ceases to put a smile on my face too.

I don't know where you are located but I would dearly have loved to live your life. I'm 79 years old and have always had a fondness for farm equipment. The older the better. I would have loved to by your best friend and accompanied you on your outings to resurrect this beautiful old tractor and the others you've rescued. Thank God for folks like you. Please keep the videos coming. I am living vicariously through your escapades.

Marty, the Queensland Museum has the only WW1 German tank in existence. Has been a museum piece for 100 plus years. Would you like to try getting it started for us.

Im from Huddersfield, home of David Browns gears and tractors......we built things to last...what a joy to see her burst into life....eager too.

"Might as well be rusting at my place" has gotten me in trouble many times over the years lol.

My Grampa used to do this to me. In the 80's when I was in my early teens. he would find vehicles like this and then make a deal, if I could get it to run I could keep it or do anything I wanted. Tractors, motorbikes,bugs, anything he would drop me off and wait. I'm the mechanic I am today because of that, and I shed a tear when that beautiful baby came to life,....fine job sir.

I love this! Save the old iron!!! I got my tractor at an old nursery and it got put aside simply because she was old and they upgraded. She sat for near 30 years and became incorporated into a junk pile. I came in and got her started and rolled her out of $1000 and a chainsaw. I drove the old girl onto the trailer while standing bent over the hood while shooting ether into the air intake. She is near 9k lbs with the loaded tires, wheel weights and the loader. Was a little hairy without brakes too. Got her home and spent the next year getting her going again. No major parts involved, just a carb, new ignition components, and a radiator, new fluids... She has a burnt valve and that's probably why they parked her, but I've been using her for 20 years just the way I found her. Sure I need to tinker now and then to keep her going, but no major work, just elbow grease and willingness to keep the old girl going. Keep up the great work.

Am a long retired mechanic but still have a place in my heart for things with tires and engines that are long lost and dead. Like many of you, when he “brought it back to life” I smiled ear to ear. Almost as good as saving a dead kitten or puppy and bring it back to life, almost, almost.

Regarding the small fuel tank, back in the day kerosene was much cheaper than petrol, so lots of tractors had two tanks. You started and warmed up on petrol from the small tank and then switched to kerosene. DB 25s were made from 1953 to about 1958, petrol and diesel.

What a nice little jewel you recovered. It's amazing that you were able to dig this beauty out of a near-swamp and get it to drive itself out of that mire. Unbelievable that you actually resurrected this from it's grave.

I bet the reason it quit all those years ago was because it lost spark and this is where it sat ever since because the owner was to dumb to figure it out. The way that tractor pulled itself up out of that hole, it seemed like it was saying, "Get me the hell out of here!" I think that lonely tractor just wanted to get out of their.

Gday Marty, Im absolutly amazed at how fertile the ground is arround your place ,,it grows tractors ,dozers ,excavators ,hydro electrict washing machines ... Cant wait to see what pops out of the bushes next time . Much Respect from Across the Ditch

I got excited when this popped up on my phone ! Amazing that you were able to drive it right out of the bush. Thanks for sharing Marty !

Don't know how I missed this one, such joy finding an unwatched Marty T video! So, you traipsed out to the far rear of yonder by yourself, waded through a sea of blackberry bushes, mentioned wasps- nope, nope, nope- and set to fixing a long abandoned machine. Running your finger over a rusted, deteriorating rim with a fully inflated tire probably isn't TOO dangerous... this is almost a half an hour of you doing you and I have to reiterate how happy I am to have this to watch while I eat my dinner. I can almost feel the old girl quivering with excitement at having a chance at a life beyond the meadow. Fantastic. That little jump when she went into gear, and then her first movement out to the truck made me think of shelter dogs who are going to their forever home. Thanks for another rescue, and you're right, better she spends her final days in your hands, doing the things she was built to do.

I've been watching for years and I don't know how I missed this one ? Excellent !

I like these stories from you the most. While you got a bit lucky with this one, you located it, cleared it away, got it running and drove it out. No fancy equipment, no fancy tools just a great fix and you got it home. You have amassed such a great collection of machines doing this over and over. Hope to see you rescue more in the future! Thank you for this channel! Big thumbs up!

Marty T. The neglected machinery whisperer. Seem you have an affinity for David Brown tractors, new oil and filters all around.Carb rebuild and new plugs with cap and wires she'll be right. Floated in on top of the black berry brambles, drove it out under it's own power... Leads to a very satisfied feeling, I'm sure. Looking forward to seeing you put this one back to work as well...

Amazing! Not just the fact that you found and recovered the tractor, but the filming and editing are excellent. Well done! 👍🏻

Great to see people getting these old tractors running. I wish more people would save them. God bless

Ah, blackberries. The berries are wonderful, but the canes are the devil's curse for sure. It's amazing the clutch wasn't stuck. Nice rescue of old iron!

Something so incredibly wholesome and fascinating about watching old abandoned machines being given a new lease at life by such a practically skilled person.

Gee, I thought Texas might be the only place that had such thorns. Good Job again getting DB going!

i recently bought a "vintage" massey 135 with a front end loader on it for my small 4 acre homestead. i was debating about getting a newer, smaller garden tractor.. i'm glad i went with the older, bigger 1968 tractor. it's just very satisfying to use around the property. if you've driven an old machine like this, you know what i'm talking about.

A rare jungle find. Can’t wait to see you bring this back to glory in your yard. Will be a nice project for sure.

I want to go visit New Zealand now just to be able to meet Marty and shake his hand. One of the few channels I subscribe to where I get excited when I see a new video posted. Congratulations Marty from here in Nashville Tennessee 👍, good job as always

I enjoyed this video. I grew up on a farm. I used to ride on tractors all the time with my dad. I lost him awhile back. I miss him more than words can say. The sound of the tractor starting up was a welcome reminder of him. Thank very much.

My dad inherited a 1941 farmall tractor from his dad in 1963. He had it until he was 90 years old and passed on to his brother who is now 76.. The toughest little tractor on the planet. Still starts still plowing gardens and pulling trees and everything else it did 55 years ago when i was a child and before. Thank you for taking me on a trip down memory lane!

So, I'm just gonna throw a couple-o-tools in the back of me truck and go get a tractor that's been swallowed by the jungle. I should be back by noon ... This guy is my hero.

That look on your face when the old girl fired up was priceless. Absolute mechanical genius getting the old girl running well done! All the best Andy - West Sussex England.

KZfaq randomly recommended me that video. I watched maybe 6 of those restorations just to realize this is Rambro's youtube channel. A relic of youtube from the time the word meme wasn't even a thing. Nice to see this channel is still alive and well. RIP Rambro, we will never forge you :')

Good for saving this old tractor. With a little more work you'll have it running like new again. I recently got an old Allis-Chalmers wide front WD out of the woods. I had to cut down 3 trees that had grown up through it. I, like you got it running again in place, drove it out of the woods and hauled it home. It's now running and driving as it did years ago.

Anyone who’s ever worked with blackberries will agree that this was a mammoth effort! Working in there plus filming too would have sucked! Well done Marty!

Land owner: Yeh mate theres an old red tractor in the blackberries, its TOTALLY rooted, grab any parts you want, it will never run. Marty, Ill just grab the ONE piece, thanks!!!!

I remember David Brown Tractors in Omstown, Quebec Canada. My family use to have a dairy Farm there. That find in the bush is a great find. Good on you Sir,.

I love when a Marty vid pops up. The nicest guy in the world following his passion. When a tractor starts it is like a miracle has been performed.

Rescuing New Zealand's tractors, one at a time. Good on ya, mate!

That old tractor was glad to see you show up Marty, it knew it was a goner if nobody showed up soon. The swamp was about to claim her. She even puffed out a little smoke to help you with those pesky mosquitos. For some reason or the other, I really like that old tractor. Thanks for taking the time to take us along on your adventure!

Well done again. Such a simple fix and recovery yay. My dad had one of these, which I sold after both parents passed. We'd put new tires all round and it was in pretty good order. I never liked the clutch as it was pretty grabby. The guy from Queenstown who bought it was rapt ($2500).

Congratulations on your find, it's un believable how some people sometimes don't appreciate what they have. More power to you, I'm always attracted to vintage things, I'm confident you will turn your tractor into a great looking machine. Gracias for all the time in this video.

That was terrific to watch. In Marty's next episode - "I hear there's a ship called 'Titanic' that was abandoned in the North Atlantic 100 years ago. Let's see if we can find it. I reckon if I clean the points and change the oil, I can sail it out of there." :)

Awesome job man. The amount of effort it would have taken to accomplish this salvage without filming is crazy, so the fact that you took the time and effort to bring us along for the experience is just amazing. I really appreciate these kinds of videos and getting to live vicariously through your cameras lens! Thanks for the video.

Happy to see another old work horse rescued. Our family's 1942 john deere 420 was in a similar place as this, but much rougher. Engine had no compression left and was drug out using another tractor. 8 months later, the engine was rebuilt, entire tractor repainted and it's more reliable then almost anything else we have! Great to see another one saved

Marty you're a legend for how you got to the tractor, you're a legend for the troubleshooting and video work, and you're a dead set legend for driving it out of there! Massive hat-tips to you from this admiring Aussie.

This was MORE than "another successful extraction" friend. This gave me hope. Not just watching you find this beauty in the brambles, but watching and listening to your patience, commitment, steadfastness, your satisfaction, your appreciation for a something well-made, its beauty in coming alive. Rust schmust...you did it. Thank you.

Jeremy Clarkson wrote a book on machinery "that has soul" and I'll be god-damned if I didn't see a weary smile on the face of that tractor as it climbed out of that gully It certainly knew it had been rescued. Well done again sir! (polite golf clap)

I have been a nurse for over 30 years and by the grace of God saved a few lives. Truth be told , I have not always felt right about many of them as their state was a future of medical interventions. Now , saving a tractor ? I have felt pure joy in every single one of them ! I just purchased a $500 1966 David Brown 770 from a couple at church. Their grandfather passed away years ago. It was sitting in his field for 5 years. The old junker fired up after a few electric wires we twisted and fuel poured everywhere along with two batteries. The hydraulics don't work, the rear wheel wobbles, the other rim is rotted at the valve stem, every oil and filter needs a change. I was thinking of scrapping it. Then I started watching videos like yours and realized I am not the only guy out there that spends $5000 in the value of my time and another $1500 in parts and supplies to restore a $1500 tractor when it's all said and done. Are we fools ? Why do we do this ? I have done this at least 20 times ! Why I ask , Seriously why ???

It must be such a great feeling bringing these old machines back to life after sitting abandoned for so many years!

Marty, "Honey, I promise, I was on my way home and it started to follow me all on its own. I tried to shoo it away, but it followed me anyways. Can I keep it?" =P

Wife : Is that another tractor ? Marty: Where?

David Brown never lets you down👍. Fantastic video.

What a great rescue, you must have felt so good driving that out of the jungle ! Well done!

Wow, you would never had been able to find that one without your drone! 😄 And when I saw that they had been smart enough to cover it with a tarp, I was like "Oh yeah, Marty's gonna ride that tractor out of there for sure!" and you did! 👷Great rescue Marty. 👍👍👍

As a Kiwi resident in the US for 42 years, the highlight was hearing the TUI in the bush. Great video. Thanks.

A family friend had a David Brown 880, and he was working away in the field, working it pretty hard. He was refuelling it and spilled some diesel down the side of it and over the exhaust manifold. He also had a durry in his gob, and as soon as the vapour hit the dart, it ignited and burned most of his moustache off, his eyebrows and his ginger fringe. He had what looked like a bad sunburn in the shape of a V starting where the durry was

Amazing how you got that old tractor running. It was in such a nasty place to get to and work on. You are so talented.

THAT OIL DRAIN REMINDS ME OF A DUMP I ONCE HAD. MAN WAS I SICK

Marty, you should have loaded up that Field and Brush mower to blaze your path out to the tractor. haha.

Fantastic find! Very impressed here in North Carolina!!

I've got a massive amount of respect for all these salvaging vehicle channels from VGG to semi restoration channel (cant remember the name) and so many others I'm really glad that some of my generation and some younger in their 20s are bringing these old beast back to life and I thank you for that mad props man.

@17:04 This is the part where I would normally catch my socket set with my boot and spend the rest of the day searching for my sockets.

Love it! "Blackberries and ooh! Wasps too!". In Australia you'd have been dead within 3 metres. :D Really enjoy your stuff, I need to get down to NZ one day, when it's possible.

What a God Forsaken trek to get to that beauty! Well done, worth a subscription!

I've really enjoyed these videos as I can get anything running or diagnosed in a few minutes much like yourself. I picked a stihl ts350 petrol disc cutter from a scrap bin last Friday, its now running lovely and in my shed awaiting future use. Nothing really wrong with it either except the clutch springs were a bit weak. Its amazing what people throw away.

Nice find!! My wife told me "Get rid of some of your tractors or I'm leaving!" I miss her now and then.

Marty: You'll never guess what I'm bringing home Wife: it's another tractor isn't it

That old David Brown must have breathed a sigh of relief when it caught sight of you bush-wacking your way towards it through the blackberry.... 'I've been waiting over 20 years for this moment to come'.

Lovely work again. The thing about this one is the quality of the paint-work on it even after so long in the open. Likewise with the external steel forgings. It must be fairly dry in that place you found it. Great work tracing the sources of spark loss, especially running the distributor with the top off. The hand of experience indeed.

"It's a shame for it to have been rusting away in the jungle when it could be rusting away at my place." You are dang right.

Looks like tractors are back on the menu boys!

The smile on your face when she started. This was great to watch Marty feels like I'm your shadow there. That oil definetely needed changing You are a great fixer. U would of been glad to.get it out of the prickles What a score. Thanks for video was great.

WOW! I don't know if I could have gotten that running had it been sitting in my shop! Give me a whole new motivation to try such things under difficult circumstances! Nice job!

It's always going to interesting when you have to take a brush hook. Look at the positives, if that was in Australia you'd have met twenty great big & deadly tiger snakes in there.

Absolutely amazing. Great job getting it started and out of the field. Old iron is amazing how it can sit so long and still run. Well done.

That is so awesome that you find and restore old tractors and make them nice again, I love old tractors and machinery its built to last. Awesome job!

What a great video...I can't wait to see your video's on fixing this up new again. I went through my woods once and found a garbage can. Didn't fix it or anything. Must have been 50 years old....Keep this tracker alive by making it new again....

Holy Crap, Marty no easy way in!!? Right On Man, She wanted to be Saved!! I give you a Big ( A) for effort!! Dean Toronto

Awesome I thank you for sharing with us the great find and rescue. I would love to find something like that I would get her running too, to be truthful not in that bad of shape for her age. I'm a retired machinist and I would restore it just enough to give her back her dignity. Thanks again for sharing this with us made my day.

I sensed your satisfaction when the engine fired up and when it started moving. Brilliant. Well done. Enjoy your tractor.

Could have done with your brush mower at the start lol

This was one of my favorite extractions you've done. Looking forward to the 50yr overdue maintenance videos.

Well done Marty . those were built to last (unlike many machines of today all electronic and needs a computer to run ) . What amazed me was how after sitting there for god knows how long you actually drove it out from the green grave it was headed for . Not sure if the PTO on that model is 2 speed . I know the "DB Cropmaster " has . Just a clean of that hydraulic filter and fresh oil and it will be good as new . Awesome video and i enjoyed watching ! Loved the sounds of native birds recorded with this video .

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. She definitely wanted to be saved and rehomed.

It started better that my Ford 8N when it was in regular use! Surprised the clutch didn't freeze to the flywheel from rust. Love it when a plan goes well! Congrats!

I so appreciate the bell bird's singing in the background. I so miss that about home.

Love watching your videos, bringing those old machines back to life.

Marty, you are the man!!! Your attention to detail and expertise is awesome to watch.

That is a beautiful old machine. I am so thankful for efficient skilled visionaries preserving this precious small scale low tech infrastructure for the small operator.

The only abandoned machinery I ever found was a kid's bike in the bushes, but you certainly have a knack for this!

I love finding and fixing and driving these old machines home .there is nothing more satisfying in the world .shoots your ego threw the roof

Nice little tractor. So worth saving. Thanks for sharing 😊

Marty lives in a magical land where vintage heavy equipment lies hidden and waiting to be discovered.

Its always nice to see folks saving machines like this and giving them another chance

Marty, love your videos, especially the ones like this where you rescue machinery from way up in the woods, especially machinery that others had abandoned for one reason or another. You are a real Boy Scout because you always seem to be prepared. Point in question was when you needed a points file you had it. But great job. I will continue enjoying your amazing videos.

It is not just a tractor, it is a very beautiful old masterpiece.

Me: Watching something else and Marty T notification comes through.....clicks over to watch straight away.

that thing is beautiful. That's the kind of tractor you'd find in an oil painting.

Nice to see old abandoned equipment recovered, fix and put to use again!!

Now i know how these Places out in the hills just seem to fill with old tractors and construction gear, you just fix it and pick it up. facinating.

You caught that just in the nick of time. Another 70 years and it might not ever start again.
