Tip.... for your vertical up welds, weld triangles, across joint - then up at an angle to center joint - then down at an angle to the top of your cross weld - then stack and repeat. You'll get the feel for how far you can travel on the vertical angle up with metal thickness to voltage used. Super strong weld. Used on Manitowoc cranes at Manitowoc Engineering,should work well for the rest of us ! Hope this helps.

That “wobbly” bit you’re speaking of comes from the wandering or reach from your boring bar you can greatly diminish it by keeping the bar as close as possible to the cutting surface as possible.

Greta Thunberg would have a cow. Love it.

It a bit smoky but overall running nicely 👌 👍

Hi Ollie, I am a relatively new viewer. I find your content interesting and look forward to seeing more vids

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.

I would love to see you make it go contusiley over and back. All you have to do is troin timber

You could use a bit of grees.

Flawless work Oll, great design!

very cool mate

I can't wait for the next instalment Oliver.

Your old man must be well proud of you and your work ethic Oliver.

Very good Job, not easy to do that. Fair play very clever

I would put something heavy where that tube broke, great gob.

👍

Your dad may wonder what you caught fire in your shop.

fascinating

Make a dail indicator holder for your wohlhaupter?

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

Why is that tractor so angry….

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.

Like to see it in action and watch the engine rev 👍

Hello Oliver I like this content👍👍👍 you may put some footage of you racing this "wee" tractor kind regards from the Netherlands

What a beast, love it!

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

Personally I love the tractor videos wether that are of your one or repairs

Good job as usual. I really enjoy watching your videos.

I think she's running a little rich. .........

nice to see ole smokey back up to snuff

old smokey runs again 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Go prank one of those smog cameras in london! That is AWESOME!

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

Looks good sounds good lot of work buddy impressive

Do you have any idea what the output of HP and torque on this little monster? It looks like a great sleeper tractor. I hope you show some pulls on a video in the future.

👍👍👍.

Diesel Creek would have been proud of the first startup.

Another great job. maybe you should come up with a color fort your logo. Cheers.

Love the tractors too!

I hope you post some videos of you the tractor competing.

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

good to see you have a hobby, life can't be all work

Well done

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

👍

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.

No wonder the ozone is f*cked with jelly's like you around .

Just needs a fancy paint job now!

I hope you use hearing protection when driving the tractor. It looks like it's really loud.

It will be interesting to see how you go with the pulling now with the modified engine.
