Vintage Grader fixing a Potholed Gravel Driveway

- We had a wet winter which created some deep potholes on our shared access 6km driveway, time to put the Aveling Barford MT grader back to work.

Some people watch animal videos to relax. Some people watch nature videos to relax. We're here watching mankind fight the ever losing battle against mother nature with at least 120hp of earth dulling fury to relax.
Sigh...! When the neighbours just aren't pulling their weight... What's a person to do... 😁😁
LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha ha ha good one and I enjoy the video as well.
@@ajherholdt I agree. What can be done I wonder! Can the council help out I wander ?
@@Miphen0707 What council? He is from the land down under where "The women glow and the men plunder" LOL
Hi Marty if I shared the driveway with you I would definitely be buying the beers and fuel. Some people don’t know how lucky they are.
Yeah I’d buy a few truck loads of gravel for the worst spots. Too bad we couldn’t have Andrew Camarata barge all the shale he’s got on his mountain to Marty T….Now that would be a Collaboration!!! I’m not sure how far Marty T is from a port but that sure would be epic.!!!
My father is like this if he see some problems hid fix it immediately
My favorite aspect about you and your channel, Marty, is your ability to present learning opportunities for your friends, viewers - and especially your kids - in a uniquely calm and patient manner. Few people are privileged with such a role model and you inspire me to act in a similar way for my two young kids. Thanks for the great content!
I suppose the good thing about the neighbors who share the driveway not chipping in is that you can ignore them when they complain that you didn't do it to their liking. If they pay in, then you'll have a requirement list of just how they'd want it. You're a good man, Marty.

A few of them paid for gravel and roller hire this time so I'm good with that
I can’t get over the power that motor grader has. It’s almost like watching a dozer at work 😄👍
Not trying to sound grim, but Marty IS the neighbour you want in the event of the great apocalypse, he can build free hydro power, fix all manner of mechanical faults, restore earth moving machinery, and is calm & resourceful under pressure... and make does in a rural setting, inventing tools & finding practical solutions. Onya mate!!
I can't imagine the satisfaction you get Marty. These machines were built for a purpose. You revived a old piece of equipment and put it back to work even if it's part time. That's like taking grandpa out of the nursing home for one last home project. If that machine was sentient you sure would have put a smile on its face to do an honest days work.
I love old machines put back to use! Great Stuff and now a nice road. It takes skill to grade properly, we’ll done!
All the effort that goes into filming these videos really shows. We notice, and we thank you!
She really made the grade. 🚜🚜🚧🚧
My favorite parts of your videos include the kids...human. They are so darn cute. 4 legged are just as cute though.
The old Girl sounds alot better. Great Video Thank You for sharing...
I love how in all your videos you give that old equipment hell. You don’t baby it around. I have nothing but respect for all those old machines.
That "Damn the Torpedos" t-shirt is downright awesome. Love seeing the Kiwi countryside as well, it's where I grew up.
Mr T's road service and heavy equipment repair.
My goodness me you’re a man of too many talents which without the neighbours would be sunk

Lived out the west of Auckland and all the roads were gravel as a kid I would watch these beasts dressing them roads all the time, it was just normal to see them on the roads around Newzealand.
I've watched your videos for several years and enjoy all of the, thankyou 👌
Those graders with the chain drive and walking beams are just about unstoppable. Very cool to see the scarifier in action.
Scary Fire indeed 😁
Heh. Unstoppable perhaps, but a teensy spec in the fuel system doesn't half slow 'em down...
Marty, your channel is fascinating to say the least. Thank you. Bert
Good job Marty.
Your neighbors should be happy.
"Make it poo again!" 😂 Briliant.
Thanks once again Marty T. Enjoyable and relaxing.
Ah Yes, Another good one. And you fixed two things - the road and the road grader
I hope your neighbors appreciate you maintaining the road. Maybe they will watch this and chip in some stone next year.

@@MartyT You should seriously have a talk with all of them over a few beers about making a co-fund that's purely for road maintenance (i'm unsure if it's exactly that way, but i heard there's funds that can be made specifically for certain purposes, and only the agreed needs allow the people tied to it to retrieve money). Kinda uncool in a way that it's all left up to you, we (9 families) agreed on ours that each two years an assessment is made and that regardless of any other things, a fund is made to deal with it. What sucks for us is we're not legally allowed to modify the road surface, we would've put a proper road surface by now...
@@MartyT That's good, was just going to ask if they chipped in, diesel and your time Marty. Road looks great again, nice job ! Cheers from Texas * * *
Yeah, they seem to be very comfortable getting work done for free, his time and equipment. Bunch of Jokers.
They provided gravel and a roller, big whoop. Smh.
@@MartyT Nice to have good neighbors like you. Well done Marty
Glad to hear your neighbors finally put their hands in theirs pockets and helped out a bit this time. Super cheap needs to sponsor you with a paint sprayer now and a couple of 200 litre drums of paint for all your machines.
That's awfully nice of you of you to help your neighbors, but they need to do their part!
Reminds me of my childhood when roads were made and not simply laid ...
Another Master Class from a Classy Guy 👍
I hope he brought his I hope he brought his kid with him I used to go out to search Mount with my dad in the mail and the guys used to take me around on their tractors and stuff in graders and all that stuff it was quite a fun experience I've never forgotten it over oh I wrote 29 years
You're the Bob Ross of earthmoving machinery Marty.
Man you live in paradise. You're so lucky. I would give anything to get the heck out of the city and find a place like that.
Nothing Like waking up early in the morning and I mean early and watching vintage machinery do something that that was done and used in years past! Thank you!
well done sir Marty the old scrap grader did it's job quite well
She's a wicked old machine, looks like fun to drive 👍🏻
" shared driveways" would be lost without people like Marty :)
great video sir, "old iron never die's"
If I had a free trip to anywhere, it'd be to Marty T's driveway.
She’s a strong sounding unit, well done
Really enjoy seeing you working the grader. It’s such a fine machine in the hands of someone who’s willing take the time to bring it back into operational condition. Your skills are amazing.
Brilliant result. GAS - Grader Appreciation Society.
You sir are a badass. Love your videos, its the diversity of your tasks that make your channel so cool! Almost every time I watch one of your videos, I smile thinking a ram brought me here 🥲
Thanx for the video, Marty... have always enjoyed your content.
Extremely satisfied with this video
its cool to see that old machines can still be used like this
You the man. No. I mean you THE MAN! Ever since I came across your first video a week ago I am now hooked. Very calming videos.
What a cool machine. I love the New Zealand landscape as well, very beautiful
Your son is awesome! He has a good Dad!
That's country living! You do it once, you'll be doing it forever.
Mighty fine piece of machinery right there, yes sireee
Its a shame the neighbours can't help out a little but at least we get to see your great videos! 👍😁
Your neighbors don't realize how lucky they are! Good work, sir!
Love to watch this channel when I just want to chill and relax and it’s too cold out to fix anything of my own. 👍
348k subs, Marty T, I'm impressed
Not only do the likes of Marty and other tech youtubers (AvE, TPAI, Big Clive etc) do technically challenging projects they take time out to film and post their work for our enjoyment; Legends all, thank you.
Ave has quit making anything but comedy vids. I had so much hope when he got the CNC but I have yet to see him use it how he said he planned to for doing projects for Patreons. He now seems to resting on his laurels . I really hope his patreons have pulled their support because they sure are not getting their moneys worth.
Glad you found the stoppage! The little guy sure is helpful with the animals making sure they ae eating and healthy…haha.
I like how you all pull together to take care of your road. In the US we'd depend on the county to do that and they might show up once a year if that. Less on some roads. I ended up putting a grader cutting edge on the back of my mini van and grading one road that the county hardly ever grades despite the high traffic on it.
I served my apprenticeship at Aveling-Barford in the early seventies when I guess that this grader was built. It's really heartwarming see this machine in working order and still doing a job 50 years later. AB was a great profitable company with some excellent products but it became dragged into the great British Leyland disaster which ultimately led to its demise.
The screaming 2stroke Rigid Ailing Bastard! Ride ye blade!!!
Marty does it all, from roads to power generators.. love it
Hallo mein Lieber es ist einfach genial deine Videos anzuschauen, vielen Dank
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
With its plethora of knobs and levers, and the way the front appears almost skeletal and so steampunk, the grader looks like something Caractacus Potts would be driving. Hey! Ho! Chitty Chitty.
What an absolute gent of a neighbour. I think you should be shamming them into putting gravel on this year.
I call that another good day's work, and an interesting video to come out of the projects, thank you.
The Marty County Council awesome 😎
Ram and the kids voiced opinions that they like it too.
Those camera angles Marty 👌🏼
So very cool watching a grader working. Thanks, Marty.
I'm glad you have lazy neighbors cause I like watching you run the machines 👍👍🇺🇸
Always a good time watching you fixing on some piece of equipment. Thank you.
Ha! Brought back memories of 1964 when I was 8 and living on a cattle station near Cohuna in northern Victoria. Over several days a crew resurfaced the public gravel road for some 4/5 miles. Us kids couldn't wait to get home from school and watch the graders leveling. I liked the big old Cat dozer as well!
Lucky neighbours having you around.
Potholes look the same all over the world.
Cool to see that old machine working. It’s always nice to have neighbors who want a nice driveway but have no intention of helping or paying for the driveway
What a way to hint at your neighbors for helping out

Always a treat watching your videos
The old girl lives on to fight another day
Marty is highway maintenance on dirt road,👍👍👍👍very good job
It’s even more satisfying when you use equipment you saved.
Another fine example of how important it is to do Maintenance on your equipment thanks for the video.
I hope your neighbours appreciate what a generous man you are with your time and equipment. You're more than a decent neighbour that anybody would appreciate having around.

Thanks for sharing another great video 👍
Your grader reminds me of the one our small town USA used for local road projects. It was bright red. Our home located on Main Street for it would pass in the morning to its destination. My brother and I would follow it on our bikes and spend the day watching it work. Love it…
That grader sounds awesome
Old iron working: LOVE IT. I sold all my really old machines and upgraded/upgrading to new or at least something with a year model starting with a 20 .
over the past 2 days I've been looking at the thumbnail thinking it was a really stubby tractor haling a roller until today when I final read the title and realized it was not 😂
Marty you are are proper man fixing the roadway for others as well.
Hello / Cheers from Rotonda West Florida on the Gulf USA.

Seeing that there is a filter, just not right up against the tank makes me feel more confident. Love watching your self reliance activities. Thanks for bringing us along.
Marty is the best
Awesome video Mr.T ,showing off your Grader on what a great machine & Operator may do! Your Driveway, or gravel/dirt road would be identical here in New England. You explain the repair so a simpleton like myself enjoys . Grader was my favorite Tonka toy growing up as a kid, many years ago. You do great repair work Sir, please continue to share with the Internet World your adventures where you live, greatly appreciated here .
I've got 5 shared neighbours just like yours marty.Looks like its up to me.Oh well.Love your channel.Thanks for your shared efforts
Your neighbors are lucky to have you nearby.
I bet it's nice having all the toys.
When I was a kid I rode around with my grandpa doing this. He'd pull the shoulders up at an angle to the center and then do a final pass leveling it so its highest in the center so water runs down the sides to the ditches.
Marty, great job with the Vintage Grader, keeping the driveway clean of holes.
Time to get the grader out, I always enjoy watching you run the grader and all of your equipment the you’ve repaired MartyT! Always exciting and educational watching your videos brother, I hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe and healthy my friend! I’m always praying for you and your family my friend and the whole world! Thanks for sharing MartyT, you’re much appreciated brother! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸 Kirk, Louisiana
The video begins with pooing and ends with flushing. Makes perfect sense.
a big thank you here from Denmark we love you we deos many greetings Thomas
Right tool for the job!
You’re a good neighbor. I’m sure all your neighbors appreciate the work you do on the driveway. Very interesting. Love seeing your son, he’s getting big. Those little rams are so cute. Thanks for sharing and taking the time, while you worked, to film. I’m sure it would of gone much faster if you didn’t bother with filming, but then we wouldn’t get to enjoy watching the work get done. Wishing you good health. May the Lord Jesus bless you.
I'm impressed, I run the new blades now but the old school stuff was way easier to repair.
