BM-10 Put all the pieces together again and make it complete. Still missing the headlights tho. But now she is a good runner again! Works great. The tractor is a Bolinder Munktells type 10. A 2 cylinder two-stroke hot bulb crude oil engine at 20HP. Made in Sweden in 1947.
Thanks for watching! /Richard Andersson.

Richard, thank you for your wonderful videos on old Swedish tractors! Whereas here in America old ttactors are usually restored to make them look brand new, your philosophy of keeping them looking like working pieces of art is a fresh approach to keeping them running. Keep up the good work!
I'm so glad I found this channel! I have loved this series and enjoyed you other videos. Keep fixing!
A big Thanks! Glad you like it. Motivation like this makes new videos 😊
@@YesterdaysMachinery If it helps as well, for every hateful and mean comment left by complete strangers, there are more then a thousand people who genuinely enjoy what you do, even if they don't say anything. Your welcome!
The comments you wanted, my friend! You are an artist on old steel no one should ever critique you for your art. Insanely knowledgeable in these old tractors, a fantastic mechanic and fabricator. What is there to critique?
Thank you for the ride along and allowing us to watch the process and the time it takes to make these vids to share.
I admire your talent and expertise with old motors.
Richard, when I saw the original rotten steel side plate under the (aluminium?) number plate I wondered if it might be galvanic corrosion....you may want to coat the back of the number plate with something to stop any future galvanic corrosion?
Aluminium is more electropositive than iron /steel, so it would have protected the steel from rusting rather than causing it to rust.
Yes as CambridgeMart is saying, the aluminium would corrode and protect the steel. So this is not galvanic. Just easier for water to collect there.
@@YesterdaysMachinery Worth noting that because of the strength of their passivation layer normal aluminium alloys are a poor choice as a protective anode. Aluminium anodes on boats are always made from purpose designed alloys (often zinc and indium are added) for this reason.
You are doing a great job! Your videos are extremely well done. You speed the view up at appropriate times and I appreciate that you don't have any music in your videos. The content is interesting and appropriate for children.. Quite educational and fun inspiring. Thanks you!
Really lovely looking tractor. Great job on the subtle restoration to keep it looking original. You could stain the wooden bench and attack it with a blowtorch and a hammer to carefully make it look 100 years old too!
My only suggestion is a lapel microphone. Otherwise great work!
Great Job ! >> Now let's see it pulling a Plough or something Constructive !
Just how I like to see old machines.preserved rather than restored.
Me too! Thank's /Richard
Un pinch the end of the exhaust pipe to much restriction make it round..
This series was a fascinating look at an unusual design tractor. Your style of presentation as well as videography is excellent. I really only would suggest one thing. The audio levels when using some tools is a bit high. Dropping those would be appreciated by those who listen with earphones. Your work is great. I hope you have time to keep giving such great content.
Very nice videos, you have a new suscriber from Argentina!!!. Greetings!!!
Welcome! 😊
Well, to be considered would be the electric start system. It has all in place, bulb heating, starter and generator. But it needs lights! Urgently.
Now You got it running I guess I´m not the only one who´d like You to go the final distance. When the electric fully works this tractor becomes really useable again, just flick a switch, push a button and it runs. You could still hand crank it but heating the bulbs would be much safer. I´d prefer that. But it is a very nice machine. Please make it pretty again, it deserves to be.
Hi! Yes the electrical will be fixed. But there is no parts available. This is a early rare model with the old type of headlights that is almost impossible to find. I have one that is totally rusted away, but you can still see the shape of the housing so i think making a new one from scratch is my only chance.
Same thing with the glow-plugs. This is very thick big plugs that is supposed to be heated for 2 minutes before start and for 30 sec again when the engine is running. And there are no new made. But i have a friend that actually have drawings and data on the plugs. He have made a couple himself with good results, so i will give it a try to make a pair. And then the electric harnes should be in a protective steel-tube and etc. And everything is rusted away. And i do not want to put anything on there that ain't original or very close. So it will take some time to find all the parts that the tractor deserves. /Richard
I'm in North Carolina working a couple of jobs but I live in Houston area . Hope to move back to Alaska before I turn 65 .3 yrs.
Alaska would be fun to visit some time. /Richard
Previous owner: "We don't need five bolts. Three will be plenty good enough." 😉😉😉
Haha kind of 😁 Much of the parts were just fitted with one bolt to prevent them from being lost.
What were you wiping on the Sheetmetal? thanks
Engine oil SAE30. Works very well to protect the metal.
@@YesterdaysMachinery Ok thanks.
No headlights on it yet? Suppose you order many7 parts from Olsson Parts (Olssons i Ellös AB) they hav also many parts that fits on your old Opel.
Hi! No headlights yet. This is the early model of 47, and should have different lights than the rest. Seems to be totally impossible to find. I have contacted many collectors but i have only find the 48-- modells headlights. Keep on searching.
Oie is a great company. Good service. /Richard
This was SO cool! What a treat :-D
I am curious to see how the tractor performs with a load.
Love that trator, thanks for the videos, too many ads
Hi! Nice work on that tractor! I saw you working with bahco tools. Here in Argentine bahco has excelent reputation in quality toolls! I have many of them. Keep on with new projects!
A little lindsseed oil works well on the finish .
Funny , you sound less Swedish than my family from Minnesota and Wisconsin , lol.
Haha, i actually have family in Minnesota, Main and California. They have been here one time in Sweden and visit, but i have never been to the US. /Richard
Very nice, but maybe change that gearshift boot, that's where most of the rainwater comes in to these old tractors gearboxes... 👍
Thank's! I have actuallt bought that used one just to fit the shape och the rest of the tractor. There are new available in chinese rubber that lasts one year.. The tractor always sits inside. But yes, if i would leave it outside in the rain it would pour a lot of water down there for sure. /Richard
Awesome.
Really enjoyed watching the process.
It's been a wet day here in Western Australia, so a bottle of rum by the fire and your videos have been a very nice way to pass the day.
What oil do you use for protection on your machinery?
I use a mix of linseed oil, beeswax and turpentine in varying percentages for tools, machines and nice things.
Do you use Parkerizing for protecting bolts and parts?
I've been using it a bit and really like the finish i get using manganese dioxide.
Great videos as always.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Much appreciated!!
Thanks! Yes very wet here in Sweden now as well. Nice to hide inside the house or the garage.
I use regular engine oil, just SAE30 mostly. Works well. I always take a rag and wipe of any excess oil like the day after or so.
Same thing with nuts and bolts. Just oil. Some times at manifolds and hot parts i use copperpaste at the threds.
Best regards/ Richard
Thanks for putting this series of videos up. It was interesting to learn about how the tractor is constructed. I live in the USA, so I have seen very few tractors with hot bulb engines. By the way, it would be fun to see it do some real work. Oh, and watch out for the 40 km/hr speed limit...
Thank you! Yes, a real outlaw. Thats Me.
Great video.....1947 was a good year, everything was built with quality.....I was born in 1947.....John (west coast, Can.)....
What marvelous machinery you are fixing up here. I love the way you don't over-restore things. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing it with us all!
Now do the right thing, paint it up!
Keep up the good work!
JIM😍
Hehe, never ever 😁 /Richard
I like the content only complaint is the quality and the level of the sound
Ye i know. I have to find me a Mic.
Hello.
I have purchased a bolinder Bm10 tractor.
It must not have slept much outside as it still has all its original logos but enough for the engine to have seized up. The water came in through the vertical exhaust.
When I put the injectors back together I was surprised to find that it is missing the nozzles.
So do you think I could find some nozzles for the Bm10 injectors
Hi, there are no new parts available really. Injector parts are hard, nothing else fits, they are made specific to BM10. But a man Named Tomas Johansson in Marhult, Sweden got a lot of used spares for BM. Thats the only place i know that still keep parts in stock. Where do you live? /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery Is that the person in question has a site to communicate with him.
I live in France near St Tropez
That board you put on is missing a cup holder. Lol
Hhaha, my doughters dont drink beer yet anyway 😉
Pretty cool pre heater .
Nice patina! That will bring more interest at a tractor show than a shiny restored one!
Question: Are the two dowels on the rear hubs for locating the wheels or something else?
Normally I enjoy the full restoration and as new paint job. But on this one I agree with you as it is so original and looks ready to work. Maybe a good wipe over with an oily rag ?. Whoops !, just wrote that as the spray bit came up !. Perfect now.
Great work! Watched from 1 through 5 concurrently. You do amazing work! Beautiful piece of machinery. I was surprised to see the PTO and hydraulics working!
Hi. Richard , I'm back again . Watching wile working . It's Ok , I'm the Boss , lol.
Kommer du att sätta strålkastrarna på igen? Skulle vara bra om du jobba med att försöka balansera ljudet lite bättre. Svårt att höra vad du säger ibland. Annars, renoveringen var mycket lyckat. Kongrats.
Gefeliciteerd met jouw prachtige roestige, tractor.
Mooie video’s. Respect voor het oude!
Beautiful.😎
@Yesterdays Machinery
Hello.
I am going to buy a Bolinder BM10.
It has been restarted.
I would like to know where I can find some parts.
Hi! Where are you from? Sweden? If so, contact Tomas at Birgers maskiner in Marhult. He has a loooot of parts for Bm10 and Bm20. /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery
Hello
I am from France.
@@thomas83jauffret70 Ok, it is quite hard to find parts here in Sweden for them. No new parts are made for these. And in France i belive it is 10x harder. Didn't know they even exported them to France. But if you join some Swedish Bolinder-Munktell groups on Facebook you should find used parts here in Sweden. But peoples willing to ship parts isn't always so good.
What parts du you need?
Hello. I am back again from New Jersey, USA. Another excellent job on your part. Thanks so very much for the videos!!
I am still amazed how small the fuel/oil tank for that tractor is. Is there a certain grade oil that is used? Could you used automobile oil that is drained at oil changes?
The small tank at the front holds only oil to lubricate the upper cylinder and bearings, so it doesn't need to hold very much.
@@cambridgemart2075 yes, the small tank is for the lub-oil. Around 5L. The fuel tank is built in the tractor body/gearbox.
The front axles almost look like portal axles. Was a thing here in the states called the quadractor. Very interesting machine. Seen it through a RUclipsr, can probably find the video.
Hello where are you located in Sweden? Does the generator work as well as the starter? When this tractor was first built was there a real problem with getting petrol or gasoline? I ask because my 1948 or 49 TO-20 Ferguson tractor is a just get on it and go tractor and doesn'thave a 10 step ritual tostart it. One last question, is this tractor metric, Wentworth or SAE as in inches? Can you use the other pair of wheels and put dual rear wheels on it? You did the tractor the way I like it done, it's real and it could worked as is. It's not some pretty trailer Queen.
Thank you, my name is Bob Ordewald from Virginia USA
nice video series!! It's funny how the engine sounds more like a motorcycle. Apparently it has an uncharacteristically high RPM range, right?
If you keep turning these junkyard gems into finely functioning machines, Jay Leno is going to be knocking on your door with a fat roll of Benjamins looking for a deal... love your channel, subbed/all notes.
Hello Richard, new subscriber for you from Oregon USA and we do not have any hot bulb traktors here and I make old ones run in much the same way you do. I have a 1957 Case backhoe that was born from factory on my birthday so it is a keeper anyway I very much enjoy the work you do and now I will watch for an old Hot bulb traktor here just for fun, oh I really like your forest Bear, so handy for you. my family comes from Norway/Sweden border area. Best Regards.
just a bit of advice,(you may already know this) always hand crank standing to the outside of the crank, with an open fist (thumb and fingers on same side) using the same hand as the upstroke of the crank is on, with hand to outside of crank (upstroke is on left "clockways" use left hand, upstroke is on right "anticlockways" use right hand) any other way, you risk a broken arm if it kicks back.
ford model "T" was only 15 KW but was well known for breaking arms if hand started incorrectly
Forgive my ignorance but I’m just curious.
Are the fasteners (nut and bolts) metric or inch sizes? I assume that metric is standard in Sweden but am wondering about this antique equipment.
Nice work!
Next time, if you want to "Age" your bolts or other hardware, burn the zinc off, the leave them overnight in a mixture of vinegar and salt water (roughly 65% vinegar and 35% salt water). This will rust them a bit on the surface before you dip them in oil. (longer gives more "age") so they look even more correct.
Those old "Chug-a-lug's" Made their owners a good living back in the day.
Hermoso trabajo felicitaciones. Por que no habilitas el sistema eléctrico? Veo que el tractor tiene motor de partida, generador y bujías incandescentes.
How soon we forget the ingenious frugality of the post-war period. People devised clever ways to overcome expensive fuel consumption and made their machines to last, not needing frequent servicing and replacement. I do not wish for the world's economic system to need such frugal measures again, but I hope they find a life of their own. Because it's right.
Turn up the volume when you edit your videos if you can because the commercials are super loud. I want to hear what you're saying because it's very interesting. Thank you
Great videos...I just wish I could hear what you are saying sometimes. The audio needs work but other than that, great!
This BM10 traktor came with three different exhausts during the production years. Early ones like Richards under the rear axle, that caused more than one burning field!
Later, or quite soon they made it point to the sky instead. Pretty sure that was offered in two versions, one not so much a silencer but a 'spark stopper' and one (top option?) silencer that stopped sparks to!
Verry Nice work vid the traktor.From Jörgen Ringdahl in Västervik Sweden.Good lok.
Been A mechanic for 40 years you showed me new things
Take care Richard. Breathing the fumes from burning off zinc oxide can cause metal fume fever.
If you are using an android phone for video you can DL Open Camera which will allow you to set manual focus.
Loved this series, thank you!
Are you running it on diesel?
Definitely I loved your channel, am a subscriber since the first video where you make this tractor run, I think I can trust you my tractors when I buy them for you to review them. Please leave your contact info in your page or channel so some may contact you to fix theirs.
Suggestion, up to min. 17:55, you may add simply a little chain or two on each sides tight with screws, to hold the metal cover for the torch. If someone buys that tractor, does it needs to have the torch every time you need to start it? If so, is it practical to build a sort of a boxy appendix right where you open to warm its "injectors" should I say? Fix a base for the torch so it fits seat exactly where it shall be set for the life of the tractor, with a metal strap above or around to fix it, and easy removal to fill it up or for repairs, so you can start it right there, and create like a cover or box that doesn't allow water to go on it, yet the door may go up like the front cover shaped like a "biting hood", sort of; the metal that now serves as a cover may serve as the floor, can be bent to hold the torch and meet the coming from the top "biting hood for it, two walls on the side and that's it, make it brown, it'll be lovely! At least to me this is amazing!
Anyone from Sweden that remember their nickname? Don't belive it is ok to say it anymore.
My Dad kept it running while on lunch and if you where unlucky they reversed rotation of the engine if you stalled them.
Intresanta videor. Det är något speciellt med BM 10 .Jobbade på Lantmännen några år på 70 -80 talet Vi hade en BM 10 som brukade startas upp vid visningar. MVH Björn...
I like that you kept it as original as possible. Even down to color case hardening the hardware for the sheet metal covers. Running great, let's see how it pulls.
Hi, that was a great video. I've never seen a.tractor like that before. You did a great job restoring it. I didn't catch the name of it. Are you.going to paint it.
The older generation had it tough. Can you imagine living with only flat groove screws.
Hi will you put head lights back on it and all electrics , I noticed a starter motor ? is that right, " battery ? ", thank you the video was very good,
Neat blow touch. I have a similar one from our farm from 1950s and 60s. My dad used it to heat soldering iron before electric ones were available. 👍👍
Excellent video. Keeping them coming!
I'm not so sure it's such a great idea to be heating up those galvanized bolts. The vapor they make is super toxic.

Well done a good looking Maschine with all the Charme of the old
Take care

Thanks. I enjoyed the series.
Great job.
Starting @ around 12 years old when I spent the school holidays at an uncle's farm I would try to get ones of the machines running.
I found an ancient Porsche (I think) tractor which had a huge horizontal single cylinder hot bulb engine. I tried for many weeks over several visits to get it running, but failed.
My uncle was quite happy that it didn't run. He said it was a bit uncontrollable & it nearly killed him.
Fy tusan vilken trevlig kanal du har Richard👍 Härlig traktor! Du borde fixa till bakfälgarna så att de matchar de där fram, det hade varit en fin pik åt småkidsen som sätter dyra sportfälgar på sina V70😜
But its not finished, I see it has mounts for headlights, will they be fitted at point in the future.
Am enjoying the channel, shame we dont have anything from the past down under
You may have forgotten to grease the right side front hub.......
Found the channel a week ago, very good stuff! I'm based in Copenhagen but was born in Skåne so not far off from you guys. Is it still possible to find old equipment like that in Sweden? Cheers!
Plox remember galvanizing fumes are bad juju.
Are those tractors hard to start in winter? I figured you all would have gasoline tractors in the colder climates but this little diesel seems like a very simple and efficient design.
Whether winter or summer, let alone spring or autumn...as long as the hot bulbs glow red...it will start....
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq that’s neat. That shows that they had a good design and it was simple.
An amazing piece of engineering. I didn't think reed valves were around until the Yamaha RD250 of the 70s.
Thank you for sharing your journey.
Very much Appreciate.
Crankcase compression two-stroke engines with a check valve in place of the reed came out in 1889, and the reed was a simplification of the original ball-type check valve, seemingly in service by the early 1900s, but as early as 1891 there were true valveless two-stroke engines, where the piston skirt acted as the crankcase intake valve (many modern 2-stroke gasoline engines use this valving instead of a reed).
@@SilntObsvr
Thank you. Now I know.
Brilliant. That's my favourite tractor of all time. 👍
you sir a awesome mechanic .personnel i am a retired carpenter but your videos are awesome just i understand the love of work
You can remove the zinc coating on galvanized hardware by putting them in a dish of vinegar for a few hours. I usually let them sit overnight.
They come out a perfect aged grey.
Might try it!
It looks great Richard, good job! Someday down the line, I'd love to see something on that circular saw grinder I see in the background of your shop. I have something similar myself, but yours looks much more rigid and well built.
Hi! Yes i sharpen my big saws in that for my big sawmill. The grinder is actually also made by Bolinder Munktells. Im planning to make a video about the sawmill, and how to grind, true, and hammer the sawblades. I do everything myself. So there will be a video about that 😊
Great work, the only question I have is how long can it be shut down before you need the torch again?
Around 2 minutes, if it is really warm when shut down.
@@YesterdaysMachinery wow not much time in a pinch, I imagine if a guy was taking a rig like this out to the north 400 he'd carry a torch, some fuel & lube, maybe he had a crate tied to that fender board.
A nice-looking old girl once she got dressed. Nice addition, the buddy seat.
I spent many hours riding on the fender of my grandfathers International Harvester. Wish I had a seat like that to ride on!
I really like how you use a ratchet to put bolts back in, instead of a impact.
If whats shown is interesting enough then its liveable with a bit out of focus and audio that isnt top notch. So keep putting out stuff like this and people will watch despite flaws!
With what did you wipe it down?
Oil, just SAE30. I like that metod. Fast and looks good after a excess wipe with a dry rag.
To stop the rust-out behind the rego plate, fit a nut to the attachment fasteners, between the rego plate and the door. Leaves an air space so it drys out.
Congratulations, the most beautiful tractor!
Impressive thank you for sharing
Its all good, just love this old and ugly tractor...I now want one !!!
Nice, hello from the Florida Gulf in USA
What a superb restoration and retaining its original patina 👌 lovely running engine as well a real credit to you 💪👍
One time I put never seize on trailer lug nuts my grandpa was not happy

Hi! I hope you will find it interesting! /Richard.
Hi and welcome 😊
What a beauty and soild I love the rust and old look but think it would look great painted again also
Well dome Great restoration Nice work!!!
