I still can’t believe you were here mate when I watch your videos or one of mine with you in it. A snack was certainly needed to get it going.

Hi mate thanks for sharing this. It’s good to see a few still around. I’m sure the farm tractor would be more versatile

It sounds really good I think mate yes. We had a few Barby nights and plenty of refreshments. He seemed to enjoy it all

Hi mate no problem thank you

Hi brother yes she most certainly did. Was very happy with it. She’s a long way off work though. Have a great week mate

Hi James thank you mate

Thanks Ard. We were happy with how it all went. Still a long way to go to use it but small steps mate

Thanks Pete. I’d been wanting to start this one for a while now. I thought it may take a bit more but having 2 blokes made it a lot easier.

Hey kul med Ac typ M jag har köpt en typ M 1941 som svenska försvaret hade på den tiden, måste fixa trandport hit hem, ha en bra dag.

Hi mate that’s wonderful. I certainly will be keeping it up. Especially getting comments like these. Plenty more to come so stay tuned

Hi Billy. I eventually will mate. There’s still a lot of work to do to it before can use it but small steps mate. I have to many other tasks at the same time

Thank you Robin. I don’t know everything mate but share what I do know. Plenty more to come

Gday Rob thanks mate and thanks for watching.

Hi Jim. I haven’t done one yet that didn’t start from memory? But as you say, whether it goes or not it makes for good content. It’s a big effort indeed. I’m kind of struggling to get views at the moment. It seems the more effort we put into it, the less the videos perform. I’m only averaging 2500 views and have over 11,000 subs. It’s a strange thing the internet world mate. I’m still enjoying it a lot though and keeping up the content to you original faithful subscribers is very important to us. It’s hard still after losing the dog because he was always there when I was here at home mate. Thanks as always Jim. Much appreciated mate

Indeed mate and thanks for watching from over there. Wonderful stuff

Hi Stephen thanks as always mate

Hi mate it’s an absolute pleasure. Glad you enjoyed. She certainly is an old one yes.

Certainty mate that’s right. Brilliant sound

Hi mate. I’m sure she keeps going just fine. It would have a lot of hours on it now. I need a set of tracks for this one. I could make them work but others would be better. Thanks again

Hi Jeff. Yes I wasn’t stuffing around trying to screw those out. It needs track’s really. I could make some pins but they still aren’t great. Undercarriage needs a lot of attention mate

Gday Drew. Thank you mate yes I was happy with how it went. It was great having Geoffrey here. He has a wonderful collection of stuff indeed. Thanks again mate

Thank you mate

Hi mate they certainly are good things. Even when worn out they still run good

Thanks Neil. I was happy enough with how it went mate

Hi mate thank you. I’m glad you like it and thanks for reaching out. I’m going to head over and check your channel out

They are a great engine to work in mate. I’m certainly no expert on them but can get around them alright I guess

Certainly did mate. I was very happy with the condition of that engine

Yes it most probably is down a bit. It may never been rebuilt

Hi Scott yes that’s what we had to do several times after working out what it was

I hope all went well at the hospital and nothing serious brother

Yes mate. That’s how they sound in Wisconsin from others I’ve heard. I like it

@@stevesplacedownunder Yea . I knew he was from the upper mid-west. I just meant he sounded different from anybody else i've heard on your channel . 😊

Yeah he certainly does. It’s not an accent that anyone around my area is used to by any means. Was a great week

Greetings to you all the way over there mate. Fantastic stuff. Thanks as always and I’m trying not to spill it. It does happen though when I get excited

Hi mate thank you. I don’t know if I’ve heard of a Valmet tractor? Sounds interesting

Thanks Ron. Brilliant mate

It possibly is mate yes. Thank you 🙏

Not yet mate. I haven’t been back near it. I will have to make some track pins up and get those joined first. But in time I will

That’s right mate. Great engines. West of Sydney

Not sure. Is it the birds?

Those are Bellbirds the main ones you can hear, but lots of varieties are here with them.

Gday Andrew yes they always seem to go if the spin over. Even completely worn out they still go mate. I like Cummins too though. I just have more Detroit stuff

@@stevesplacedownunder Many thanks 👍. I wasn't expecting your reply. I like some Cummins diesels like the C 160 and 290 and the V903 but I love GMs, always have since I was a kid. I know their strengths and weaknesses and how to set up a 71 with turbos and bigger injectors and they've got some kick then. A bit more torque down lower. Anyway stay safe you and family.

Hi mate that’s great. Great old machines
