Your videos are always interesting regardless of the subject. Thanks!

Who needs an engine hoist, when you have a Hyster! Brings back memories of the one I used to drive at Boots The Chemist HQ in Nottingham..... 2.5l of Perkins Turbo under one's 'arris, used to call it the Shyster, as it used to stink like crap on 1st start.

It’s nice to see you doing a project for yourself. Good luck in your tractor in the future.

Holy smoke, one could say!!! Best of luck to you Mr Snowball!

If you make it to Emely Moor, enjoy the tractor pulls, and the rest of 'MAST'. If you get a spare moment, glance over at the tall TV transmission tower that I worked on in the early 80's. I got to go to the very top of that tower... Magic experience :) Not sure about now, but it used to be the tallest unsupported structure in Europe, that was back when it was completed in the early 70's after the earlier tower collapsed one bad winter, and many lost their TV signals for a while. Looking forward to the next update on the Leyland 285 :)

Wow!!!! You've put a LOT of woek into that tractor. Good luck with the tractor pull 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

What a weapon mate. Cant wait for next episode.

Interesting stuff I enjoyed that and definitely could watch more. Anything tractor related engine related and fabrication. Thank you for taking the time on your days off when it needed to be done. Looking for a mobile mechanic in LEEDS.

Oh wow Olly 2 days off and you work harder than a normal week - love your hobby thanks for letting us join you.

That was interesting and I found out more about tractor pulling than I knew before (which was next to nothing).

I love this Olly, every Man should have a toy!!!

I'd like to see a 4x4 golfcart build, too! I keep seeing that on the shelf...

Sounds very nice. Glad to see you have a cover over those clutch plates. Back in the day, mid 80’s running my Mk2 escort on motoring news road rally championship rounds, some around your neck of the woods, my clutch did burst (no Micky mouse kit it was the mutt’s nuts) and shot a load of shrapnel through the alloy bell housing, through the body shell and it was sent flying around the footwell. Lucky only scratches and minor rips in the overalls but a bit of an experience! And a retirement waiting for the service car and trailer. Could have been worse I remember it was a balmy midsummer night not a grotty wet January in the sleet. I know you’re safety first so the captive shield on the gearbox input shaft was a nice touch. Good luck with your motor sport adventures, the memories are golf dust when your times almost at an end. I loved every minute with a passion, including every night in the workshop, either mine or a mates. All motor sports are great sport, great competitors, no needle, no aggro and real comrades who will pitch in no matter what and always be helpful.

good to see you work on your tractor dont know if you knew it but when you drove it out of the work shop you had a grin from ear to ear also nice to see the or some of the bits that go into the make up of one of these machines thanks for showing cant wait till the next one Cheers

Well for someone who doesn't have a great interest in tractors, that my friend was magnificent thanks......

You should be so proud of what you have achieved absolutely marvellous Ollie 🇬🇧🇮🇪

Nice job, Oliver. Unloaded clutches suck to install, as you said, but you made it look pretty easy. Hope you do well at Emley Moor. Never seen it but have heard about it in the past. Hopefully you can get some video of the event. Good luck! Funny, you have the same kind of "time off" I used to have before I retired 😁. By the way, 👍👍 on the shop exhaust fan. Thanks for letting us watch. Cheers.

Plenty of jobs done to get the tractor running and ready to go. You have multi talented skills, plus a good memory where everything fits ! Thanks for taking us along as you do the rebuild. Brian from South Yorkshire.

I'm glad you are finally getting to put the tractor together and do a pull and see how things are going. Hopefully, you had fun with the tractor pulls Oliver.

I love 8am on a Sunday morning! Swear to god this makes me happier than you could imagine! 😂😂

What a nice surprise to see you working on your tractor Olly great video more please

Can not wait to see her pull. Another fine job doing the think you love to do. Keeping the good work rolling

Thanks for the video on the tractor, you are a hell of a machine operator as well as your raft of other skills.

Just nice to see how you spend some quality time with your Leyland! :)

Love a nice tractor. Will you be posting vidio of the competition day?

Another great video mate. It gets me up early on a Sunday morning. Good luck at your pulling event and stay safe. I hope you post some video of the event. Raymond 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Very interesting Oliver, thank you for sharing!

Wish I'd had a fan like that when I started my rebuilt Landrover engine up first time .. Open garage doors just don't get flow-through!! 😜

hope to see it pull. thanks for your time.

Love the angry eyebrow grill

Hope we get to see you pulling in the next bit Ollie, be interesting to see how you do 👍

Just started watching and I had to comment on that sweet forklift throttle control backing the tractor out. Almost as if you've driven that bad boy once or twice before.

Some thing different! Cool! I enjoy the content! Thanks for sharing! Young Lad!

The tractor is an absolute weapon, hope we get to see it in action 👍

Another brilliant video thankyou Oliver xx

Cool to see small workshop motorsport projects. I'm a rally fan, but this is way cool as well. Also, thumbs up for not getting tied up in chequebook racing.

Late Sunday before getting home and open your "week off" video, just as entertaining and interesting as your other videos

Enjoyed that. Nice to see the things that make you tick and is obviously a passion of yours. You know what they say about all work and no play.

love to see this thing going full blast oli!

Hope you get some action videos of her pulling. Was great seeing something different. Good luck

It’s great seeing you at play as well as work. You’ll have to show us how your tractor went. Please. 🙏🇦🇺

The old girl sounds like beast mate , hope gretta was not offended ?

Brilliant video, can’t wait for the next episode. 👍

The red oxide paint on the custom work is a nice Snowball touch. Good luck at the Tractor Pull!

Look forward to part two. And wouldn't mind seeing the event. I used to go to all the machinery shows in my area back in UK. There used to be a lot of traction engine pulls.

Good morning, Nice to see working on your own stuff and what you enjoy.

Love to see the full engine rebuild when you have time to edit the video 🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Great Video, looking forward to the next one.

Awesome video, thank you Oliver great work

That new turbo compressor wheel is a thing of beauty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good Luck !! Hope you have a good time pullin …

Brilliant video. I know it’s not your usual content but it was so interesting. You MUST show us some video of you competing. Have a great evening. Mike

Looks a beast young man and sounds well. I have only ever driven a Leyland 344 tractor, but it dodn't look as good or sound as good as your tractor, it was on silly little wheels and skinny tyres and looked stupid. I noticed a Series 2A or 3 truck cab Land Rover, it would be interesting to see a video about that. Well, it would be to me!

This reminds me of changing engines in my cars over the decades. I've only done one in the last 30 odd years, when I upgraded the engine and gearbox in my 1982 Mitsubishi L300. I changed it from a 1.6 litre four speed column shift to a 2.0 litre five speed floor shift. The engine and gearbox came from a 1991 Mitsubishi L300. There were a few modifications needed, but it fitted nicely.

Glad to see you having some 'me' time. Back in the day, a chap on a neighbouring farm to where I worked had a 272 and a 2100 in his fleet, but never saw many of the 285s' in the area. Scary for me to think that what was once someone's prime workhorse is now so old that peeps just use them as the basis for some (much needed) fun at the local fair.

Thanks for an insight to the mechanical complexities of tractor pulling Ollie and good luck with the Beast!

was waiting for the massive PING as the circlip launched across the workshop!

Don't blame you for taking some time out for yourself, when you're self employed it's always going to be difficult. Nice that you're doing something for you and putting the tractor back together, however after seeing tractor pulls I have no doubt the engine or the tractor will be back in the shop. 😂👍

Thank you for sharing, anoyher great sunday morning in Quebec, Canada who i follow your project with great interest , i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍

Just seen this Oliver and I can’t wait to sit down and watch. I had no idea you had this beast of a machine. Lunch just got a whole lot better 👍👍Mike the Anchorlube man.

Good to see you working on your own project Oliver.

Thanks Oliver. Eagerly awaiting Part 2. Take care & stay safe.

Well I have installed a lot of two disc clutches,but never seen a three disc. Looks like you have it figured out good luck 👍🍀

Loving the tractor content!

Great vid I hope we get to see it pull 🚜😀👍

Greta Thunberg would have an absolute stroke if she saw that diesel start up! Great job as usual. I really respect your work ethic and attention to detail in everything you do! And thanks for the effort you put forth to produce and share the videos of your work.

Being a one man band, mostly, maybe set up some basic hoist radio remote control on the fork lift. No thanks necessary, I am all about giving orders to make others work. 😅 And it's a good video, we all like a change.😊 Oh, hope you get a "FULL PULL."

Like your hobby Oliver….huge motor👌👌👌

Great video thanks👍

Good stuff Oliver, lots of learning I did watching you work. You know the diesel tractor real well, you explained everything real well, looking forward to seeing that cranky little face on the tractor more.

Good looking tractor. Looking forward to part 2.

I'm certainly interested in the tractor content and absolutely live tractor pulling, i used to love going to see it at the Royal Agricultural Show at stoneleigh.

I'm glad you are taking time off for your own time. Having a project that's been waiting sure makes time go by. I'm about to finally going to quit working at my day job. In a few more weeks. I will turn 70, thats when I've decided to pull the trigger.

Really awesome to see all that go together interesting how that clutch works that explains why they Rev high then take off ...be nice to see some pulling content look forward to part 2 ...

Another great video mate good old engineering and mechanics is my life lol I can just imagine greta thornburgs face with that smoke 😂 probably spelt it wrong but hey I’m a engineer not a grammar teacher lol all the best looking forward to more videos

Olly I just wanted to say I love your content ❤ I can’t wait for your next video. And honestly I didn’t know much about tractors until now you have me interested lol . Please keep the videos coming I know a few people here in Texas USA ,that live watching. 🎉

Hi Olly next time you have to mess around installing those clutch plates try using two lengths of 18 or 20 gauge binding wire, one either side turned around the tangs of the last plate and pulled backwards and tied off around the output shaft, that will allow you tons of room to fenoigle the imput shaft into the bush. And being such small gauge will easily be removable with the play the system uses before tightening down. I dont know how often the Motor will need to be put in and taken out in the future but a fine upstanding individual such as yourself ought to be able to fabricate a frame to fit snugly on the forklifts front end and using an arm equipped with a bolted on porta power with a purpose made head bracket to change input angles would make the whole job much less of a one man ball acher dont you think.

I think a couple of bright red led lights for the eyes would look good.

Well done Ollie! Really interesting what your doing with the tractor can’t wait to see how it goes in competition! Multi skilling at its best buddy 👍🏻👍🏻

Oliver, you might consider an engine chain hoist leveler. They are about 30 quid and are a big help in such situations. Thanks for another enjoyable video.

Hi My Dear Friend Very Very Good Job ❤❤❤❤❤

lightened flywheel and a water spray bar spraying the intercooler will help mate

A great video look forward to fear it running

Great video. 👍

Thanks! Great video. Hope the tractor pull went well.

Looks good sounds good lot of work buddy impressive

Very cool Oliver, from kiwi land

Holy smoky😂 Sounds awesome 👍👍

Love the tractors too!

Thanks Ollie for the build up to your season. You have answered several questions I had about how different systems are integrated and some of the nice bits you 've added to your mods. My last pull, was way back in '86 I think, so long ago time distorts the memory. (thinking about, it you weren't even born then were you). Glad to see some things don't change, even though they were sketchy back then. Hope you got the result you wanted out of the run, and as always look forward to the next video. Hope good luck isn't a bad charm , take care .

What a beast, love it!

More of this please!!

Shoe horned in 🚜 nicely.

Great build mate and loved the video too 💪👍 be good too see some content of it I'm action too!

0:20 love the eyebrows....

Love tractor pulls here in US!

Better hope Greta thunberg is not watching this 😂😂

Gotta love that front grill 😁

Be interesting to see if removing that center section won't be an issue. Worst case senario would be an accelerated frame upgrade schedule. Hope see brings home a win for you at the tractor pull.

Very fun video. I can hardly wait for the sequel.
