Getting my cars ready for summer
In this video, spring has arrived at the farm.
I remove the light bars as they are not needed when 24/7 daylight arrives. This part can be used as guidance for mounting extra lights on the roof of a car.
In the second half, I change from winter to summer tires on the old Mercedes Vito and Renault Kangoo.

Buying, fixing, and testing a cheap snowblower
Просмотров 4028 месяцев назад
In this video I buy a cheap snowblower from Marketplace. But first, I needed to get the old Mercedes Vito running. Except for some small fixes the Stiga Snow Patrol ran like a boss. :) In the end, I brought out the Massey Ferguson 178 to finish the job.
How to fix a broken guitar bridge with simple tools
Просмотров 638 месяцев назад
In this video I am resurrecting my old Yamaha six-string guitar with a snapped off bridge by using simple tools that most people have at home. I also show one way of mounting new nylon guitar strings, and end the video with a little "concert" in the garage.

Fixing my old MF tractor - Getting started
Просмотров 3459 месяцев назад
Welcome to a series of videos where I fix my old Massey Ferguson 65 Mk II from 1962. In this first episode we mainly focus on: - Getting the tractor to the garage - Going through what needs to be done - Removing most of the cabin This will be a series of videos that hopefully finish around spring when it's time to use the tractor for farming again. Some of my old "tracked" music was used in som...
Unusually cold winter weather in northern Sweden
Просмотров 8009 месяцев назад
We had a long cold spell in northern Sweden just at the start of 2024. Temp dropped to -41°C at the coldest day on our farm. These days you just want to go into hibernation... In this video we mainly try to keep warm, testing the Mpemba effect (making snow from hot water), and discuss how we heat our house without fire. Disclaimer: Many thermometers were shown. :D
Starting the new year with some tractor videos from 2022
Просмотров 4419 месяцев назад
Due to a longer cold spell, video recording came to a pause... However, two un-edited tractor videos from 2022 showed up on my disk. The first one is showing the very first soil cultivation attempt on the farm. The second one is about my anxiety towards snow chains, and how that can be handled. :) Both videos were recorded with my older compact camera.
Driving a rare Swedish snowmobile
Просмотров 29 тыс.9 месяцев назад
The Ockelbo 3502 was one of the last snowmobiles made in Sweden. A rare find nowadays, especially in a good condition. The video covers me bringing it out from the summer rest and driving it around our property. Also cooking some coffee over open fire. Video is recorded with higher quality microphones. For the best sound experience, please use a good sound system or headphones.
Winter struggles with the old Ferguson and snow plowing
Просмотров 9 тыс.10 месяцев назад
The cold start of the MF 178 did not go as planned, but after some battery charging it ran like a boss. I also plowed some snow and tested out my new camera equipment. I recommend to use a good sound system or headphones as I now have a proper microphone setup. :)

Saving a Renault Kangoo from the junkyard (red light stays on)
Просмотров 13 тыс.2 года назад
It seems to be rather common that these Renault Kangoo goes to the junkyard due to electrical issues. I hope this video can help you save yours. Video mainly covers the 1.5 dCi version, but will probably also be a help for other engine alternatives.
The old Massey Ferguson 178 plows some snow

Late March 2022. Spring was around the corner when winter suddenly striked back. But I do not complain, it was nice to take the old MF for a drive. :) Sorry for the wind noice!
Massey Ferguson 65 Mk II - Cold start of the Perkins 203 engine
Просмотров 9 тыс.3 года назад
Cold starting my Massey Ferguson 65 after sitting for two months, it was around 0 to -5 degree celsius this day. This tractor is a renovation in progress. Most of the mechanics is overhauled at this point. Future jobs include to renovate and paint the cabin, hood and other body parts. The pre-heater was not plugged in due to unknown function. I rewired the electric system while converting to AC...
Citroën BX - Hydropneumatic suspension

A short video of the 2nd generation Citroën BX, showing the four different suspension modes. 1. Workshop 2. Normal 3. Elevated 4. Tire change Observe that no work should be done under the car without proper support, even if it is tempting as it is in high position.

    Well done with the fix! I have a 2005 version, that saw some abuse, these cars a horrible to work on and there was not much thought put into them when they go wrong, and they are unreliable, but you can fix them if you know what your doing, If you need to change a turbo charger (bearing gone) it an absolute pig of a job. I have a starting problem, but mines related to the high fuel pressure pump has eaten its bearings and metal filings have been distributed throughout the fuel system. Its a complete strip down of the fuel system, I 'am still working on it after 2 years!

    Once warmed up that enegine sounded great. The Long Track performs well is deepish snow with only moderate throttle modulation. Really enjoyed the video and seeing some snow. Where I am we actually had rain and above zero C and now lots of gravel on the bare roads. Never saw a Winter like this in many decades.

      Ďakujem ☺️ I think you got a better engine. Here in Sweden, it's hard to find these cars nowadays. Many have become "a-traktor" (tractor registered cars) that the 16-17 year olds use instead of mopeds etc. When they are done with them, they look horrendous... 🙈
