She’s spoiled for choice really. The trouble is deciding which tractor to use for a given task.

I think he is going to paint the rest of it pink and give it to the wife for mothers day lol

Now if I could only convince my wife that having lots of tractors was a good thing :)

@@morantaylor Years ago, in a Farming Simulator 13 forum, a guy who was playing FS13 with his daughter posted that she wanted a pink tractor. So I reskinned a Massey 6290 so it was pink and linked it to them.

​@@morantaylor 🤣🤣🤣

heheh beat me to it

That made me laugh out loud. Thanks.😊

Decent size eels good feed

😂

She didin’t know that married 100 vintage rusty tractors back then. 😅

It’s pretty easy.

​@@thegoodguy44 Everything becomes easy after you learn how to do it.

My grandparents have Nuffield 4/65.. the damn thing has gone trough hell and back... then demanded more and its still running and working even though it should have broken down decades ago, but it still keeps on going. 3rd lift link is holding on its dear life.. i dont know how it has not failed since there is no longer treads or really a shaft left.. the bolt is jammed 45 degree on its place and that is only thing holding it in place, while its still enough to lift more than front ends weight. Given it has been like that 20 years... yeah. I'm about to fix that soon enough... but pretty sure grandparents thought the same thing... Well these things are prime movers and never should be scrapped. If its utterly destroyed then sell it as parts not scrap! Only really wrong with ours is shifter sometimes slips past the lugs in transmission putting it into middle lock state requiring "gentle violence" or taking the transmission cover off and back again. Chore and i'm looking solution for that, just dont want to mess anything up. Restore and maintain these beasts since they build the world and will continue to maintain it, unlike likes of Deere that absolutely hates right to repair, making it hard as possible.

I've lost count, must be at least 8

Damn man i can't believe you are watching a Kiwi bloke find and repair old abandoned heavy equipment lol. Im looking forwards to some updates on your channel. I hope you and Yuka had a great time in Australia

BCpov.... The wife been told only 4 tractors in our possession. 😄

Class back in session, bloody good one Marty!

@@MartyT after 10 you can start calling yourself tractor doctor.

Perhaps... instead assume the base line is the equipment will run. Is that so amazing?

@@ShainAndrews More like Marty has a good idea how to work a tired, neglected engine.He has skills, as he has proved on many occasion.

If you have amassed a knowledge of engines/machinery this isn't really that difficult. Especially if it was parked and left, not broken and left. Being covered Is a big win too. Diesels are especially happy to sit for decades, since the fuel is oil they are far less likely to rust and size internally. A gas engine, especially one that wouldn't run right and got a bunch of raw fuel or worse starting fluid dumped down it's yap then left for dead with washed clean cylinder walls rusted solid is no fun. Plus the diesel fuel itself doesn't go really bad. Fungus growth does happen sometimes but it's not as bad as dried up gas. Not saying everyone can do this but it's not rocket surgery 😂

To be completely fair old diesels don't take a hell of a lot to get going and can sit for 50 years without issue. Still awesome but not the same as getting a modern engine going.

That's English engineering for you, Makes me proud. Surprised it didn't set on fire :D.

@@Islandwaterjet You're very welcome. The one in the dash absolutely needs to stay in the circuit as well. If you bypass it and go straight to the plugs they will see too much voltage and you'll burn them out. Ask me how I know :-)

@@Islandwaterjet The good old pepper pot glow indicator/ballast resistor. Some European tractors (Steyr T80 and T84) didn't have a cover with little holes, just one round hole in the dash, the perfect size for lighting a cigarette 😀

Hey Robin, I don't think that is correct. That would mean each glowplug would have to have 2 connections. 1 in 1 out to the next, I've only ever seen a common power rail with the body of the glowplug being the earth. Could be wrong.....wouldn't be the first time

@@duanescott5399 Look carefully, the wires going from one glow plug to the next one are not in contact, there is an insulator between them, and the whole circuit is isolated from the engine.

​@@RobinWilkinson I made the very smart mistake of removing one on my 444 and testing it on a 12v battery with a pair of wires to each contact, needless to say I won't do that again after watching it glow white and melt instantly🙃

The early IH B series 250, 276, 414, 434 etc were made in Bradford (B for Bradford). Did you work for Paxtons?

@@originalforgery yes I did work for Paxtons, from 1970 at 15 years old to 1979. Did you know anyone who worked at the same time?

​@@kenhart6330 Allis Chalmers became another massive name globally starting in Canada not sure if ever associated with International during this time tho. Great Tractors all this era.

Did they make Nuffield tractors there as well? I think I read that somewhere. This reminds me of the look of a Nuffield I used to drive for light work on my father's farm in the late 1970s and early 1980s. We lived not too far from Doncaster near York.

I work for paxtons now! Haha

That makes sense, nice trick

Or try a LPG / Mapp gas burner straight into the intake (heat the air).

My clutch was stuck and I put a block of wood on top of the pedal and let it sit heating the shed it was in and then letting it freeze a few times over the course of a few months. Eventually it popped - I tried doing what Marty did but it didn't work. Anything is better than splitting the tractor!

Good night from Argentina

Well I think engineers feel the same way about making rust „disappear“.

Bodyman what is that ? You have body of a man.!! 😬

He does a great job but it's also a testament to how they made this old iron. They used high quality parts.

If you want to learn old diesels is the easiest path. They are incredibly simple with few parts prone to failure. Everything is mechanical. Most will fire up with very little effort if it will spin freely. Especially if you have ether

Not to nitpick but he filmed himself committing a criminal act. In NZ any amount of friable asbestos must be removed by a class a licensed removalist. Regardless he wasn't masked and contaminated the area around the tractor by washing it off with water. Not that it's likely to happen but he's made himself liable for a hefty fine and possible incarceration.

The tractor wiki says they were built from 1961-1966, so your recollection is probably correct. I didn't know these existed as I don't recall ever seeing one of these in my part of Canada.. And now looking on my classifieds site I see one for sale in my county. The more you know..

We call that ‘ corrugated iron’ 😄Aussie slang 😂

Well in reality, it would make no sense NOT to change fluids. After sitting for 20 some odd years, oils can't POSSIBLY be any good.

But he got it running Before he changed the oil... 🤔?

Don't want to waste oil before you know it will need it

@@BillyJoeJimBob28 you're right, he did.

@@CB-xr1egwhich is perfectly logical

They are sh!t rims. I've never seen one of this model with original rims that looked good or with original rims at all. Cheap metal.

@@aserta I doubt it was 'cheap metal'. The rears were filled with fluid, most likely calcium chloride. If it leaks at all, it will eat steel up no matter what the quality. Any calcium chloride filled wheels need regular attention. Changing out valve stems every few years helps keep leaks from happening.

Yes I always check for a spring behind these type of filters, I have seen them missing or installed incorrectly and the filter just flops around doing nothing
