The variety of farm life I have observed by watching blogs from around the world is amazing. I have to say this time it’s the furry pigs. Thanks for all your wonderful work on the farm. Nothing is boring.
Greetings from Poland. Ive watched almost all of your videos. There are not many youtube channels that show full scope of the reality. Improving your homestead/farm/house is not a sprint. Its more like a marathon and its full of digressions. It requires huge amount of optimism to go and improve everything bit by bit and not to give up. I like your DIY attitude, and that you are showing ups and downs. Wish you and your family all the best Erik! Waiting for your next material. Your channel is very inspiring to me.
Watching you dive into the maintenance of a 42-year-old Fiat tractor is like witnessing a master craftsman breathe new life into a classic piece of machinery. Your dedication to preserving and reviving such an important tool is truly commendable, showcasing both your skill and passion. It's inspiring to see how you care for these timeless treasures. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!
All the best from hawkins farm in the smokey mountains of North Carolina. We are doing what you are half way across the world - minus the filing🫣 today i work on my tractor and much like you a few videos ago dig out a trench to keep water away. All the best to a fellow homesteader family!
Can't wait to see that barn getting built and used again. And i'm sure the sheep will love to have a nice place to stay warm for the winter. The "cellar" under the barn looks like a liquid manure pit. And the walled off "room" in front of the barn looks like it was used for the solid manure and straw pile. Sometimes they are actually connected so the run off water from the solid manure pile would flow into the liquid manure tank too, but i can't tell if the liquid tank is actually deeper below the other area for the solid manure.
Eric, finally it starts to pay out, it seems! Your channel seems to grow exponentially despite it still in the four digit subscriber numbers. Have I told you, that I began to play your videos as a nice wallpaper in a loop? It gives me nice vibes of country live and it maybe a support of your time. Oh, and nobody should worry about the environment, for the background wallpaper viewing, I use a decommissions cell phone.🙃☀️
Fait bien gaffe à ton liquide de refroidissement . Ça gèle bien chez vous et les tracteurs someca sont hyper solide , juste un très bon entretien et une bonne Rémise à niveau. Bien surveiller ton liquide de refroidissement .
Watching farm life in Norway from Australia.. Very different conditions...You sound just like my Uncle Stellan. :)) Looking forward to the restoration project!
The oil bath air filter was definitely worth replacing, with the conditions the tractor works in its not worth taking the risk of not having it doing it's job properly. It could be saving you the engine for sure.👍
I noticed you used hydraulic oil on the gear/hydraulic box, but this is not good. Use motor oil or gear oil on this.. No lubrication in hydraulic oil. I have an old 480 dt my self. Keep up the good work!👍
Fantastic video. All your hard work is paying off. The barn will be a game-changer for the farm. Your videos are always interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, I watched your movie today and I am very impressed. I already plan to start watching all your videos from the beginning. I'm from Poland but I've been living in Norway for several years. I grew up in the countryside, I like the rural atmosphere, working on the farm with the machine, sometimes I miss it.
I think that was a direct pto drive potato harvester you found in the cow shed. The grate thing wiuld be suspended to stop you throwing the potatoes across the field. Loving your chanel.
Really cool to hear that you decided to get a grindabygg style barn. Those buildings are gorgeous, and with proper roofing it will last ages. Also great cleanup, I guess it feels good having this project in the making.
The one thing about farms, industrial size junk, and heavy. Great job with clearing the barn, you must've been really surprised to find a cellar. Going to enjoy seeing what you have planned for it.👍
Don't feel sorry for buying that tractor filter. It was cheaper than a new engine or an engine rebuild! That is a good tractor and it will help you a lot on your work, especialy because it is 4x4. What you should aquire for the tractor is a good dump trailer. And if you have the posibility, a mini excavator. Both of them will help you and your back a lot and could also bing some money too... Good luck with your projects!
If you can get yourself some rear dual wheels (or failing that, old cage wheels) for your tractor, it will really help you with traction when conditions on your land get wet. It might even help you to use that excellent backhoe. I've been through a lot of what you're experiencing, with successes and bitter failures. There's always a way forward, but sometimes you might have to change direction to find it. Very best of luck with your project: I wish I could come and help.
Har stor glede av filmene deres og synes faktisk engelsknorsken er behagelig å høre på. Fluid film( saufett) er bra rustbehandling for en gammel traktor og understell på biler👌
Hello from usa, very nice work on the tractor and barn, My best guess is that the cobblestone / dirt area was a holding pen for the dairy cows, the slats where milkings area and the underneath secret part was for slurry,
Howdy from Texas I’m liking your channel. That’s a cool barn y’all got there. One thing that will help you get that pin out of your front end loader is to use some heat and some penetrating oil or if you got some Wd-40 that will work just as good. Hope that helps see ya
Takk for det. Har tenkt tidligere at jeg skal gjøre det selv men tror ikke det er realistisk selv om det kanskje hadde blitt noe billigere. Har kommet frem til at dersom vi skal få noe tid til å bruke den også så må det profesjonelle på banen. 🤠👍
Ting kan bli dyrt men fint å se at folk fortsatt orker å fikse ting skjøl. Har vurdert å flytte nordover eller ivertfall ut på bygda skjøl. Håper dere får alt til å funke.
Hello from the UK, I wonder if the secret room could be a root store, a kind of chilled preservation room for vegetables to be eaten over the winter. These are common in some countries. It's great to see the progress.
It took me on and off, six days to finish this video! Worth it though. Wise choice with getting a new air filter but do a bit more research on what oils go in which casing. Hydraulic oil has very little/no lubricant protection so it would not be good in the gearbox at all. Of any machines that I’ve worked on that have a shared oil reservoir, the oil supplier told us to use a diesel engine oil as it would be the cheapest, best option. All the best!
So much work to be done! You are doing so much but do you have skips in Norway to take all the rubbish away? The old barrels and stuff by the tractor shed really grate on me! But I understand that you are working alone and everything takes time. Well done!
as an italian, nice to see a fiat from time to time, man, whoever ran the farm didn't like to take too much care of his place eitherways, for the oil, on all older tractors that i have, the gearbox oil is used as hydraulic oil, so it's both. there might be a separate pump for hydraulic, but i doubt it, it's a little 3 cylinder, i don't think it would have been worth an external pump also, always change all the filters when you get a tractor, you never know when was the last time they were changed. better to change one more than to trash a good motors, thoese engines are quite old at this point
Hi, great video 😊. Normally, to start old tractors like yours a bit easier, set the hand accelerator midway while starting. When the engine has started, you can reduce the accelerator. The engine sounds like you start it without accelerating, but maybe I'm wrong 😉 it should be written in the manual how to start it properly.
Trist du ikke bor nærmere, hadde vært så gøy å besøkt deg en dag med gravemaskinen min, og røsket litt rundt oss. :-) Uansett kjekt å se når du jobber på. Terapi for sjelen!
The contract is with the builder and not the government.😊 We do have to apply for a building permit but they have told us that is should not be a problem to get the approval.
That could be correct.😊 I thing it is fun to go trough the things that we find as they give us some insight to how this farm used to be. Its not many people left that remembers it.
So was the first pot of water boiling used to aid in the de-feathering of the harvested rooster? I have heard that is the way to help get the feathers off but have not actually seen that done. How long do you have to let the bird soak before attempting the feather removal?
I am guessing that you are referring to the oil in the digger attachment and you are correct. 👍I did change the oil in an earlier video and half the tank was filed with water. I don’t know if there are a leaks somewhere or if it is just condense. 🤔
@@NorwegianfarmlifeDefinately good that you changed the oil, it looked like a milkshake came out when you fixed the hose, hydraulic oil should be pretty clear with a yellow tint. If there was really a lot of water in there, it can't just be condensation. You might have to work the digger a bit and replace the oil pretty soon again, as you might still have a lot of water in the oil that is in the cylinder and hoses. This water will wear and destroy the pump faster, if you don't get most of it out of there. Maybe the water gets in the tank from the fill plug when it rains or snow melts on the machine. The caps are not air tight, they need to allow the tank to breathe a little. Placing a bucket or plastic bag over the cap when you don't use the machine might help to keep water away from the oil.
say a cheap solution is diesel and brake fluid, this mixed in a spray bottle this makes a cheeeeep alternative to wd40 or kroil. hose it down a day prior and your job will be easier

Thanks 👍
Good friends like that are a true blessing. I have just come across your channel and really enjoy what you do. ❤🇦🇺
Thanks so much😄

Great job on the tractor and barn.👍🏼
Just started watching your videos for the first time absolutely marvellous to watch someone from Europe 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
Please replace the oil filter promptly,these tractors are very good,cheers from NZ.
Takk for videoen! God helg til dere fra Amerika!
Takk for at du ser på😊 God helg til deg også🤠
I love listening to you talk. It reminds me of my grandmother
Thanks,😊 I guess you mean my accent and not that I sound like an old woman. 🤣
@@Norwegianfarmlife😂😂😂
@@Norwegianfarmlife yes 👍🏻
@29:08 Ah! Weight optimization! That Fiat is gonna run like a champ now!
Det må jo ta kjempelang tid å lage så bra videoer. Respekt❤
Takk for det. Vi gleder oss veldig til å komme i gang. Det blir en helt annen gård med den løen på plass igjen. 😊👍
Nice work man,you are stron.... give it all.... regards from Alversund 🤘😎
Thank you very much!🤠👍

Thanks,😊 I don’t know your uncle but he must sound amazing 🤣
The round object with tynes used to be a part of potato lifter.
Just came across your channel and am enjoying it. Glad to hear we're not the only ones having a wet summer ! Greetings from Ireland

Your mnd video is now becoming a really good style on videos an comments. Keep up the nice work by taking back the homstead👍
Hi from Montreal, Canada. Just found your channel. Realling interesting and true. Keep your good work. Thanks
Fantastic video. All your hard work is paying off.
The barn will be a game-changer for the farm.
Your videos are always interesting. Thank you for sharing.
thank you for sharing! I always keep smiling, when the Chief-Inspektor comes by. Of course, always with Ice-Cream :D :D :D
Sometimes a bribed is needed to get him to participate wit the farm work🤠👍
Great work!
Thanks!😊
Great clean up work. I wanna also see that water mill there up the hill looks Kool
Felicidades desde España!!! Acuérdate de revisar el eje delantero y reductor es del tractor. Muy buen trabajo!!!! Ánimo para la familia!!!

Hi from the UK 😊
Well done
Jeg er glad på Deres vegne at Dere har fått et slikt flott sted å samtidig gjør den bedre enn før. Jeg fant kanalen din i dag og følger deg. Lykke til
Very big effort in cleaning up the barn. It looks really great.
Congrats on the great clean up of the barn.
I think that was a direct pto drive potato harvester you found in the cow shed. The grate thing wiuld be suspended to stop you throwing the potatoes across the field. Loving your chanel.

18:51 sieht so aus als hättet ihr die güllegrube gefunden 👍
Bra og se et en gammal traver får en god service. Forsett slik så varern 40 år til
Hi, I think your new equipment is a windrower/rake JF HSR 200 R to be exact :D
We will see if you are correct in our next video😊

Ta deg en tur på biltema så kjøper du deg traktor universal olje og fyller på giren. Artig å følge med på dere😊
👍👍👍
That was a cow barn that deep tank was used for liqid manure and that walls outside was solid manure pile
Hello from usa, very nice work on the tractor and barn, My best guess is that the cobblestone / dirt area was a holding pen for the dairy cows, the slats where milkings area and the underneath secret part was for slurry,

Came across your channel watching from Texas
så artig å se at dokker skal bygge fjøsen opp igjen!

You have two fuel filtes in your tractor. The other is near radiator.. CAV 296 like that was liking..
Ting kan bli dyrt men fint å se at folk fortsatt orker å fikse ting skjøl. Har vurdert å flytte nordover eller ivertfall ut på bygda skjøl. Håper dere får alt til å funke.
Funny, you have similar greenhouse, and sectet room under barn (urea tank ?). And a project of restoring many broken buildings.
Hello from the UK, I wonder if the secret room could be a root store, a kind of chilled preservation room for vegetables to be eaten over the winter. These are common in some countries. It's great to see the progress.
If you come across tires to fit onto you chicken house I would recommend adding them; the kids would be able to roll it around.
Thanks for the tip. I had originally planned to do that this year but suddenly the chickens had grown up and I did not need it. Maby next year. 😊

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Respekt!
The good thing about stinging nettles is they are quite edible.
instead of oil bath you should have to go for dry type air cleaner its better than oil bath btw like your content
It’s a mixing bowl for the wife….so she can make lots of bread to feed u as ur working hard😊
Interesting
46:17 check for engine belt it may loose
That room you found could have been their water tank.
They paint those heavy equipment pieces bright colors so you can see cracks in the metal easily. Black is really hard to see them with.
Darn it. I watched the video after this one first. so I know what was in the box LOL
😂
Har du sjekket om du kan bruke Hyd.olje på gear/bakaksel? Den kan ha uheldig virkning på bremsebelegg etc.
Den har tørre bremser. Det skal vere kombiolje på den.
Fuel turn off valve is under the steering wheel, behind that black cover
also a plastic tub in a engine bay could be a fire hazard
What do you mean contract with the government? Is it like a permit to see that you follow building codes?
The contract is with the builder and not the government.😊 We do have to apply for a building permit but they have told us that is should not be a problem to get the approval.
from the old parts you took out off the barn im quessing they made potatoes or sugar beets for the cows
That could be correct.😊 I thing it is fun to go trough the things that we find as they give us some insight to how this farm used to be. Its not many people left that remembers it.
I think water mixed in hydrolic oil
Tu as tellement de choses à faire . Il faut faire une liste écrite pas dans la tête
The transmission does not tack Hydraulic oil . Trans Plus from Castrol or what some call universal oil
One comment. Teflon tape and hydraulic fluid (or any oil) are not compatible. Good work though.
So was the first pot of water boiling used to aid in the de-feathering of the harvested rooster? I have heard that is the way to help get the feathers off but have not actually seen that done. How long do you have to let the bird soak before attempting the feather removal?
part of your radiator is blocked...it needs to be cleaned
ååååååååhhhhhhhh NORRGEEEEEEEEEE
Det var mange gode skippertak på låven! Skjønt jeg vet ikke om det var verdt det bare for den lille håndfullen av bringebær... 🤣
Og Knut så ut til å bli husvarm ganske rask, eller var det kanskje bare godbitene? :)
Tu as mis de huile dans le bol du flitre à air ? J'ai pas vu .
milky oil = water is in it , replace it ,filter it out or low boil the water out and replace the additives in it
I am guessing that you are referring to the oil in the digger attachment and you are correct. 👍I did change the oil in an earlier video and half the tank was filed with water. I don’t know if there are a leaks somewhere or if it is just condense. 🤔

Artig å sjå Norsk Bonde på Utub'n :) Koss hengen?
Drain the oil from hydraulics and put transmission oil, hydraulics oil heat too fast and can destroy your pump
Is the potato digger you found still complete?
No, the metall is quite rusty😢
Make that hole into a root celar ?
say a cheap solution is diesel and brake fluid, this mixed in a spray bottle this makes a cheeeeep alternative to wd40 or kroil. hose it down a day prior and your job will be easier
what you need to do is find some one to restore the fiat
😄😄👍👍❤❤
Hvor kom vannet fra? Med trykk? Var det et borehull eller er låven sammenkoblet med brønnvannet til huset?
Skal du bygge opp hele låven som den sikra var
