"Don't you sh%t on my tools!" Now there's a T-shirt Marty...

The Rambro scream made me lol!

Rambro screaming at the sawblade... Awesome. Was a weird moment years and years back when I realised "Angry Ram guy" and "Washing Machine power" guy were one and the same.

My dad was a huge Allis-Chalmers guy. Used to run a modified 190 on the local tractor pull circuit back in the 1980s. When I was in highschool, he ripped a D12 out of a field and completely restored it to "parade" quality. I mowed my church yard with that tractor for many years, such a workhorse of a tractor. He passed away 6 years ago and I miss him working on tractors, so these videos you've done on tractors, specifically this Allis, have brought back some great memories for me!

The scream right after spinning the Mad Max saw for the first time is maybe your best editing ever😂

That saw blade scares the shit out of me! I was wearing gloves and safety glasses just watching the video!☠️

As an old bushy said to me once, you’ll spend half your life cutting wood and the other half burning it. Love your work Marty T.

The first owner of that machine would never have imagined that a dude from the future would be working on it in 2024. 🙂

I have much more faith in that tractor working 80 years from now than anything brand new. Nice sympathetic repair and service.

The whirling wheel of death accentuated with Rambro's scream. Perfect!! lol

A MAN WHO CUTS HIS OWN WOOD WARMS HIMSELF TWICE

Great job as always! For what it's worth... I'm a physical therapist and once had an older patient who years earlier lost his right hand---clean amputation mid forearm---from, you guessed it, an accident with a rocking bed saw. He told me the lesson he learned was to always keep both hands on the rocker side, and set up a container for the cut ends to fall into.

Obviously the kids won't be allowed anywhere near that blade when you're cutting up firewood. On the safety subject; one of my mates, [back in the 80s] did exactly what you avoided, when the fumes in a petrol tank popped, and blew rust flakes into both his eyes. No permanent damage, but he had both eyes fully bandaged, for a few days, after the hospital gave them a clean out. Lucky boy!

Marty is an example of a man with common sense and skills who doesn't need flashy tools to fix, repair and build.

It's lovely to see machinery my age (80) doing a good day's work.

Good job Marty, a worthwhile restoration. You will make a fine prime minister one day, NZ needs your vision and pragmatism. Keep up the great work.

hi mate what a terrifying machine! can I make a suggestion - dont use the one hand either side technique and don't wear a glove on your right hand. if you slip the glove won't protect you and will only serve to get caught and drag you into the blade. thanks for the vid

My mother pitched a fit when she found out my grandad had me cutting firewood with one of those saws. That’s where I learned it’s easier to seek forgiveness than to receive permission. That was 46 years ago and I’ve cut many cords with it since then with no mishaps.

I swear I got a whiff of petrol when you pulled that tank out! 😆

Mate, your vintage museum is the best. Not glistening showpieces under artificial light, but diesel soaked workhorses doing the jobs they were designed for, decades later. A credit to both the original engineers, and to your careful restorations. Top tier content.

Just a couple of points, our "buzz saw" had a great whacking flywheel on the off end and we always ran it with two people so that no body parts straddled the blade.

It's amazing how much difference it makes to a machine to just keep it under cover.

As an American, OSHA always comes to mind per safety. Just as I thought about how OSHA would respond to that, angry ram showed up. Quite a good laugh at that. Perfect comedic timing.

I love it when the vehicles get the oil diesel spray they always come up great after. Maybe even better than a new pain job i reckon

I was surprised that you restored the little old fella all the way back to cut off saw in working order. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing your adventures Marty! I so enjoy everyone :)

Growing up in Canada, I saw a lot of saws like this on tractors. My neighbor referred to it as the spinning wheel of death. "Anything that touches that spinning blade gets cut, if you wanted it to, or not."

Holy snapping duck shit! I flinched away from the screen when the disc of doom first got up to speed!

I was a bit worried you wouldn't put a guard on that death machine Marty but you came though ,as a old retired sleeper cutter who worked in the bush for 30 years I've seen plenty of accidents from saw blades and it's always nasty

Back in the day when "worksafe" was a brand of beer......

Lots of old machines like that didn't have drains for final drives ,gear cases, etc. It's always good to take a suction gun and pull out as much old oil as possible and check for metal or water contamination . I remember there was always a suction gun hanging in my grandfathers garage next to the glass jars in the wire basket.🍻

Hi Marty, I work in Health and Safety in the Workplace and I just want to tell you that if ................................................ Sod it, keep fixing things. All the best from Ireland!

Not only is he a very good mechanic who skillfully shows how to get machines running again and how to maintain them, he also shows how to protect your hearing and eyes. Not everyone who watches KZfaq has experience in such things and learns that a broken eye or hearing cannot be repaired. That's what I really like about his episodes, alongside his skill.

I grew up in rural western Canada we called those “ Rocking cradle Buzz saws” they were used to do just what you used it for cleaning up slash piles , us youngsters dragged the stuff to the men who were running the saw we were not allowed too close as it would kick out small branches from time to time. Thanks for the video!

Here in the states we have a product called Caswell Tank Seal. Simply an ‘in tank’ epoxy sealer. Takes a day to dry after pouring it in and rolling around in the tank. Hardens like glass. I’m sure you folks have something similar. Consider it if you plan to keep that tractor and it begins to leak again. Cheers from upstate New York.

That tractor is absolutely wonderful! I absolutely love the vintage machinery. Thank you for sharing from Arizona, 🇺🇸 😊 Thanks for thinking of safety!

I love those machines for cutting firewood, they're so quiet and relaxing to use. Also a spinning wheel of death, but that just keeps you awake while doing a repetitive task.

That was a good one, Marty. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you, Mate.😊

Marty T, Cutting Edge Engineering and Clickspring are my favourite KZfaq channels, always good.

There's a lot to admire about your lifestyle Marty. Your work ethic is admirable too, I'm a lazy bastard. I'm always envious of folk who have a lot of get up and go, all my get up and go, got up and went a long time ago, lol.

Great job Marty👍🏻👍🏻 I wish i had a penny for every bag of logs i cut on a (bigger) firewood bench like that😂😂 A couple of little tips which will make it so much easier on you when using it mate. Our saw had light springs which returned the 'bench' back to its rearmost position saving you from having to 'pull it back' every time and it also had a flat board coming down from the base of the bench at the correct angle so that you could use your hip sideways to operate the bench. Lastly, run your tractor rear wheels up onto some shallow angled skids to get the optimum comfortable hieght for your hip against the bench. Believe me, you will double the rate of cut with those simple alterations buddy! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

That tractor reminds me "the man that cuts wood for firewood " from my childhood . The tractor was a little bigger and the blade was about 1 meter in diameter it was cutting branches up to 30cm in diameter . It's stills scare me 50 years later . Thank you for sharing and bringing back good old remembrances . Cheers from Belgium .

Allis-Chalmers saw mill. Great episode Marty. And for what it's worth, I've gained confidence over time watching you and I'm now changing the fluids and blades on my own rider and push lawnmowers in preparation of the spring. I used to send them out.

Always a good watch when marty drops a video

MARTY T, IF YOU ever need parts for the magneto It looks to be a Fairbanks -Morse ,John-deere & Harley-davidson both used those Mags on their motors ,thought you might like to know ...MISSOURI PAUL We really enjoy watching you bring these old machine back to life ! 👍🤗🌞🇺🇸👍

Love the channel from across the ditch in Sydney. I cannot believe how a saw like this made on the most simple of all principles is still better for what it was built to do than its modern counterparts. Probably the original blade too!

My dad had a saw mounted on the front of a john deere model b and I remember as a child that blade making that whistling sound when it spun up. 👍

it would be great if you could do a resto on the body of the tractor. Watching your skills on display is always a pleasure!

“Don’t you shit on my tools!” 😜

That blade looks like it was brand new, obviously the labels had gone but the teeth looked really good. What a find so simple really and who needs a chainsaw, especially when you've got a tractor unit as the power source. And obviously the tractor God, giving an old boy the love and care that he deserves. 👍

I think my first reaction when the blade started up was the same as the ram's. 😱 I had a shop teacher in school with two fingers missing. His advice with saws was always "Make sure you tighten the bolt on the blade." I'd say that advice definitely applies here. But seriously, keep up the good work. Must be a lot of satisfaction getting work out of a good old machine like that.

Thanks Marty ,brings back my childhood memories from the 60s .My father would cut up old Totara battens and posts with a saw like that ,the belt was probably 3x as long and he used Golden Syrup to stop it from slipping off the pulleys. That Totara wood would throw out the sparks something crazy out of our open fire even with a spark guard ,we used to watch our b/w tv with the smell of burning carpet . God i miss those days!!

The first tractor I learned to drive was an AC D-17. It's really cool to see that saw attachment being brought back to life.

My mum and dad have a picture of me in 1969 on an Alice in a field that was near our holiday caravan in Harlech Wales. Apparently I insisted on sitting on it every day. It never moved so I wonder if its still the all these years later. Love your content mate.

I was worried about how dodgy that saw blade looked, but with the guard now it looks completely safe...

An adjustable stop on the right side to ensure same length of firewood everytime would be great!

When was quite young we'd travel to the family farm to help with harvest. My grandfather's silo feller and threshing machine were both run off the flat belt. Because of the nature of the beast you couldn't start the tractor with the very large heavy belt on the drive pulley. Grandpa would pick up that belt and get it on the spinning pulley. Crazy stuff. After WW2 my father bought a new Allis "C". He kept that tractor until into his 80s. Thanks!😊

I haven't seen those belt joins since being a kid on the farm, we had an old Fendt driving a hammer mill and a big circular saw, good memories.

Hi Marty, she is a little beauty, wish it were mine. Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.

Grew up with an Allis WD and a front mounted buzz saw and no guards anywhere. I like the shielding from the wood cradle and over the blade!

Way to go Marty, you've brought another relic to life but wow it has so many safety features on the saw. BE CAREFUL.

I wish it another 80 years, it looks like it's in good hands.

Bit of golden syrup on the belt helps . We used to drip some on when we used belt drive for sheep dip. Neat little tractor

Love all of it! those belt clips are mini versions of what we use in mining conveyors. Spinning blade of (wood) death, what a beast and so functional.. perfect!

What a great little Tractor! ✌👍

What a wonderfully functional machine. I’m glad you put the blade protector on too. 👍🏻

I miss that Angry Ram. @13:55 would make Dr Dolittle proud lol. That is one of the most terrifying saws I've ever seen. Thanks for another awesome video.

Great job on the little B! I sold my 38 B, only because I had trouble getting on, with old age and bum legs. I put a 12 volt alternator in 2 of my Allis tractors and run 12 volts. Neither had a magneto, so I had to change coils, but the starters work fine for a LONG time on 12 volts. I ran the CA as my lawn mower for 10 years, and never had a problem with the starter, and the WD45 has had the change for 25 years or more, but doesn't get used much anymore. As long as the tractor is tuned up good, it only takes a couple seconds on the starter to be running. I know some who have drilled a hole in the final drive pan, and brazed a fitting in for a drain.

Been watching your videos for a while, always enjoy them. If you ever travel to Texas come see us. You would feel right at home here.

LEts go just finished an assignment and open youtube! perfect timing marty!!

Haha I love it. I run belt joiners in by putting the end in my cordless drill.

Fantastic Marty. Everything went well. You need to cover the rest of the blade with a portable cover something attached to the workbench.

Marty you must have read my mind! I was just thinking "That saw blade looks bloody lethal!" when you said you were going to fabricate a guard for it. I breathed a huge sigh of relief then, I can tell you!

Thank you for making my old heart smile. You have assured me that with some TLC, there can be life in the old dog yet. A most informative video once again. Your videos are thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you

Oh mate, the Screaming Ram was PERFECT!!! You should drive that beast into town next Halloween...with the blade on!

Runs like a champ again, nice feature with the saw-blade cutting wood, much better then a chain-saw and bending all day long. 😃

I love how you fix up the old gear just watch your fingers

Great to see you using that old tractor , good for another 80 years

When that blade first started rotating I looked at my wife and said “HOLY! That’s scary!” And then right after that the screaming goat came on! We both had tears coming out of our eyes we were laughing so hard! 😂

Looks like a great tool but that blade is pretty intimidating! I can't help but feel you should add another gaurd over the belt... just in case it somehow snaps and comes flying at you standing right by it 😮. I guess safety standards from 80 years ago were still pretty non-existent 😂

Well done, Marty. I think this was probably one of my favorite of your videos so far. I would build a shed, even an open-sided one, just to keep the rain off the equipment, but it's perfect the way it is.

Way to go Marty, putting that tractor back to work. Enjoyed the video very much. KC

Most relaxing death wheel revival I've ever watched.

Takes me back to the early 1960s when my grandfather and his brother heated with wood on the farm. They had a slightly larger version on the front of a Farmall M. They put it between a wagon loaded with branches and a wagon for the cut wood so there was never any bending over.

You cracked me up with the screaming ram clip spliced in just as the open blade test was making me nervous. Still having a chuckle over it. Great editing there! I admire and appreciate your skilled work and greatly enjoy your videos. Thank you!

Hi Marty , I find it very hard. You can’t buy new one after 80 years LOL thanks once again for the great video. Always like to see you restoring and fixing up machinery. Keep up the good work. I didn’t see the managing director there today. Making sure you doing a good job Cliff from Australia

Thanks for another ride in your time machine Marty.

Brass soldering, and/or tinning is a solid option for repairing a rusted fuel tank. Hard to do when they already put on a bunch of gunk on it dough. Your homemade surface coating really brings out the patina in the old machines. Looks great!

A new movie prop for an Max 16. Awesome.

What a good score. Comes up a treat with the oil coating too.

In the halcyon years of my youth, ( 1960's ) using a very similar type of "buzz" saw, mounted on the front of a Farmall Super M, my Grandparents heated a 14 room house and cooked year around for a half-dozen men, with just the same kind of "slashings" and "laps" that you just cut up. With that "tractor saw", a couple of men could cut 3 silage wagon loads of stove-wood before lunch.

Really nice fix Marty. I just have to wonder if a modern tractor would still function after spending 80 years in a barn. Probably not but I'll bet this one could spend another 80 years in a barn and still come out swinging. Great video thumbs up.

Another fascinating video using your skills to bring back to life this 80 year old beauty, thanks for sharing my friend.

Cut a lot of firewood commercially with a saw bench. Love it

This is why basic piston combustion engines are one of the greatest inventions of all time. They could be made to last 100s of years!

Those saw blades scared me as a child , dads was 5' and the belt was properly 10metres long and ran from a old crawler tractor, the noise was deafening

A superb machine with multiple practical uses, puts most equivalent modern stuff to shame, and a superb mechanic doesn't get much better, thank you for sharing you're knowledge and skills.

Marty, this configuration was designed by a genius. I so enjoy the process of the project and repair steps. Thanks for an excellent video.

Great video. Loved the saw blade. Great work on the tractor. Also enjoyed your family of chickens. Have a great day.

G'day from Oregon, Marty. Sweet epoxy job on tank.

Marty...I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing
