What a great story. I'll bet the old tractor felt ALIVE being able to do some work again. And I wouldn't change a thing about it . Leave it just as it is . Restoring it would ruin it and the story .I love that old man too! You can see the joy in his heart.
No expensive garage or mechanic to do the work all DIY or get in contact with the son of yerman we bought the new bull from is the normal thing that we do if the bits can be made at home well sure that is best way and use the money for paint or whatever else
What a wonderful project. Respect to all involved. I had the great pleasure to drive a Fordson Major recently, similar to the one my grandfather would have farmed with after the war. It instantly showed me the advances in tractor engineering today but I still hanker for the FM and her cute little eyes/headlamps. She had real character. God bless from Norfolk England
Thanks so much for following up on the first video, where I never thought in a million years that it would run, at best have a few good parts. There are people in this world who are magic with engines and that beautiful old man is one.
Bright,,i love it A real bronze age tractor from 1954 And it’s goes again👍👍👍👍👍👍 There are still a lot of very ancient things in those bogs Let’s dig 😁👍👍👍
Muy bonita recuperación del tractor, me gustaría que la historia que esas personas cuentan fuera en español, escuchar el relato de esos adultos mayores ...... Saludos. . .!
Hi I like old engines First thjought was a Nuffied but that would have had studs for head bolt all unf thread nightmare David Brown prob a good shout We built an old fordson petrol tvo at collage loads of fun be mello nice one
course her would just alter timing a bit and set injectors up. no electrics hardly to go wrong. i like the new ones dont get me wrong but the older ones will outlive the new ones
What make was that tractor? I think I saw the word or name DAVID on the engine, is it a David Brown? Buy the way, my hat is off to you fella's for all the work it took to unearth and get the old tractor RUNNING AGAIN, WOW!!!!!!!!
What was the other thing you ran belt too thought maybe a bailer but it looked like it just shoot the hay back on ground looking the same as it went in
It appears to be a late 1940s or early 1950s David Brown but a little darned backstory would be nice. Everyone spends an inordinate amount of time talking about history, just not the history pertinent to this tractor. Frustrating to say the least.
Reply to Brad not Landa Got any standard tools left in the island? Would be nice to see what it looked like originally. What brand. Some specs and special features.
Im amazed it was able to be made to run again. I still dont know how it ended up buried or what made them decide to exhume it. Is it a rare tractor or what?
trouble with restorations is you could have cut 1000 tonnes of firewood and made $70000 in the time it would have took to repair it or even more and then bought a new tractor with implements plus a farm and a few cows,
The old gent says it was buried for about 10 years. A hole was dug and the tractor was placed in it upside down, then it was covered back up completely. I don't think he says why or why they dug it up again.

I’ve worked on some basket cases over the last 60 years but your project was truly a Herculean effort,well done
Amazing that you got it going again. I didn't think what you dragged out of the bog would amount to anything. Great work all round.
Fantastic, right from the clay,this is a happy old tractor. Old diesels never stop to impress me.Greetings from an impressed Norwegian viewer.

Brilliant video nice to see the tractor running again now the can restore it fully great work all thanks for sharing

Wonderful to see this old lady working again, so very well done folks, love it!

I love this, its fantastic that the tractor goes so well after being buried in the bog.
Legend has it that it drove itself back to into the bog grave that very night.
Amazing he got it going with no more than he said he had to do, a testament to how well built they were 60 years ago.
I would leave it as it is. True testament of it's buried history! Bloody thing still smokes less than my Landy after ten years in a fookin' bog!!
It's a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing this video! From Texas USA...
Thanks so much for following up on the first video, where I never thought in a million years that it would run, at best have a few good parts. There are people in this world who are magic with engines and that beautiful old man is one.
Awesome!,.... glad to see the outcome of this tractor. 😎👌👍🇨🇦
This yarns got everything, nearly shed a tear, the older guy telling the apprentice how to torque up that head
I bit slow here maybe,but this is same rig as the tractor they uncovered. Just awesome as she runs again, God bless from Canada. 👍
Amazing work. The young man who worked on it and drove it is a great part of your team!
A new lease of life, well done to all of these people and shame on whoever buried this fantastic tractor in the bog.
Great story, thank you for saving her. Regards from Czech Republic.
Excellent thanks
the old guys really know there stuff we all can learn a lot from them
Top work guys!! Cant wait to get back to the best county in ireland.
It's so awesome that you guys got this running. Figured it'd just be scrapped after it was found. Kudos!
Incredible find and dedication to the mechanics to bring it back to life.
Well done.
Mechanic home trained on a motorcycle and old car before getting near the tractors
that was a very interesting history lesson. Thanks from Canada!
thanks for sharing this it encourages me to think that nothing is to far gone to be restored :)
+gravedigr12 Long as its made by humans, you have something to compare it, enough interest and money... everything can be restored.
Bright,,i love it
A real bronze age tractor from 1954
And it’s goes again👍👍👍👍👍👍
There are still a lot of very ancient things in those bogs
Let’s dig 😁👍👍👍
We used to start an old Fordson Major using a rope wrapped round the pulley & then pulling it to kick it into life.
Fantastic work. My ancestors came from Mayo. Thank you for sharing from Tasmania Australia.
How incredible great job beautiful tractor
WOW!!! Amazing this is what got dug from some random field! 🌟🌟🌟
Great group effort and seriously fascinating video! Thank You💋
Muy bonita recuperación del tractor, me gustaría que la historia que esas personas cuentan fuera en español, escuchar el relato de esos adultos mayores ......
Saludos. . .!
Well done!. Nice see and hear it running again. They just don't make them like that anymore.
Great to be able to see what they've been able to do with it already - they certainly built those old tractors to last.
Hi I like old engines First thjought was a Nuffied but that would have had studs for head bolt all unf thread nightmare David Brown prob a good shout We built an old fordson petrol tvo at collage loads of fun be mello nice one
There's an old iron wheeled tracker in a swamp south west of Seneca, Illinois, could see the stack for years
Someone should dig it up.
Just be careful to park it on solid ground from now on.
it didn't sink it was buried.
I have a feeling one of them convinced the other "It'll just be for a few minutes!"
Wow amazing I thought this tractor was going to be thrown away for sure.
good as gold put it straight back to work, but stay away mud holes, top job boys.
Wonderful...
Amazing!! I have a 73 Ford and love it.
The air filter on that David Brown looks just like the one on My Armstrong Siddeley 10 hp Diesel stationary engine. They must have been common.
I did wonder what it was. I saw David on the engine block so guessed David Brown. You have confirmed that.
Have to wonder if they went back in after the missing radiator and sheet metal, or if they were “found” like the other rear wheel.
Well done guys awesome job at saving that piece of history
Lovely story
the old aston martins always look good even in this state
Bet it will run better and last longer than the new tractors made today
You are joking? "Run better" !?
course her would just alter timing a bit and set injectors up. no electrics hardly to go wrong. i like the new ones dont get me wrong but the older ones will outlive the new ones
GREAT Work!!
I can’t believe that’s the same one from the mud
What make was that tractor? I think I saw the word or name DAVID on the engine, is it a David Brown? Buy the way, my hat is off to you fella's for all the work it took to unearth and get the old tractor RUNNING AGAIN, WOW!!!!!!!!
that thinh looks a lot better than it did
great piece of work
Mayo.. Gods own country .
that's why I don't Barry my old junk , never know when you might need it again lol
Great stuff,now don't loose it!
i would like to see how they rebuilt the engine, in what stateit was
He said he removed the head and the sump (oil pan) and got the motor free.
Why are you running baled hay through a threshing unit or are we pretending.? Great restore of tractor and video story line?
Well done , great to see that working ,
love the way hay in oh look hay out lol
I miss Father Ted
So great, but, didn't it have dualled tires when recovered?
Yes but if they keep it on firm ground and not out on those soft bog fields(whatever they're called)there's little need for duals.
I know a good hiding place......
Erin go Braugh from America!
that apprentice with the love bite smokes more than that old tractor 🚜
Fine amount of smoke of the old girl
The tires that were on it when it was dug up were in better shape than that. They must have put older tires back on it.
Amazing job 😎
The best thing about a David brown is they'll go for ever
So will i, if i eat enough jalapenos!
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down???
lol the mud did magic to it
very interesting where abouts in north mayo did this great effort take place .
muy interesante
Wow, it runs!! Hurray!
What was the other thing you ran belt too thought maybe a bailer but it looked like it just shoot the hay back on ground looking the same as it went in
Talk about..
"Luck O the Irish" !!!
im impressed
Just goes to show that the darned things are almost indestructible... Keep them full of clean oil and they'll run forever...
i love it.but what is with the safety vests in uk
It appears to be a late 1940s or early 1950s David Brown but a little darned backstory would be nice. Everyone spends an inordinate amount of time talking about history, just not the history pertinent to this tractor. Frustrating to say the least.
The only question I have is the front tires ones bald and the others got new tread aside from the cracking, how and why
Reply to Brad not Landa
Got any standard tools left in the island?
Would be nice to see what it looked like originally. What brand. Some specs and special features.
1954 C Jackson tractor
That little Irishman certainly had a gummy grin didn't he!
Little Irishman? where was he? not on my video.
I bet a 2019 modern tractor would not have survived that long.
Not a chance.
I'm pretty sure it's a david brown 25d
A good diesel mechanic can adjust that old engine.
Imagine that ! Put hay in get hay out the other end !
Unreal
Me just a wonderin about how much work actually went into getting it to run. No way just washing off the gunk and drain and fill. No way, no way.
Tolerances on the older machines were massive.
The bogs are likely debris of Noah's flood.
thats a david brown 880 ive just finished one
I think it's a David Brown 30C, the 880 didn't come out until 1961. The front was more square on the 880. This one is very rounded.
Im amazed it was able to be made to run again. I still dont know how it ended up buried or what made them decide to exhume it. Is it a rare tractor or what?

actorzone you'll never get it. Don't try.
I dont get the Davie haymaker, oh I get it, it recycles hay, wonderful invention, who is the patent holder.
where you ever told how and why the tractor was left in the field to sink in the mud.
The old gent says it was buried for about 10 years. A hole was dug and the tractor was placed in it upside down, then it was covered back up completely. I don't think he says why or why they dug it up again.
Pelican1984
Because it was clapped-out and smoked badly ?
Do you still have the tractor😊
Great work,well done,will it be restored or left as is.C.Harrison
If you’re making a video be sure and tell the family and neighbors that they can just drive up to near the camera and then do whatever
