I live in the US, have been into tractors since as a boy I lived on my Uncles farm. Now in my 60’s I regularly go to organized antique tractor & small engines events in my area. I bring my own stuff, buy sell and love to talk tractors with other enthusiasts. I do my share of watching utube for rigs that are new to me. You deal with old but runnable European examples that are quite fascinating! I have revived similar old implements and odd things but your machines I would never see over here. Your channel is very relaxing and interesting at the same time! You have a nice vibe and you like to share your passion with the rest of the world. Thankyou
After 73 years the condition of that tractor is amazing. It must have had some good owners during its life. It was nice to see that it is still being looked after well.
I’m so glad I found this channel, I love the fact that you maintain and keep things running. I’d rather see something that has a bit of history and runs instead of something sitting in a scarp yard or rotting in a field sadly
What a nice nice little tractor, I sure wish I had this, i could put a snow plow on this baby and use it to clear away my 3' of snow I got on my long drive way & yard, great tractor, 👌🤠😁👍
Watching you prepare that tractor to run and starting it then putting it through it's paces is just fascinating. I really appreciate those of you who have these things sharing them with those who are interested in them. Excellent video.
Love old machines. I drive a fuel truck for the local farm co-op, and I see a lot of rusty old machines sitting in fields and sheds, all of them not in serviceable condition. Nice to see some working instead of rotting.
Well sir there is a reason why I have the nick name of Motorhead. I love hands on, including the “petroleum paws” my wife used to kid me about! I wish I was there with you cranking’em up 👍 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
We may need this technology again in the future. I imagining a scenerio like this; Once the bulk of fossil fuels are gone . Agriculture will be mostly small farms again. Being powered by human, horse, cow, wind and solar. After harvest some of there corn, or soy crops is set aside to make oil to drive a tractor and wagon to the nearest steam powered rail road, to take there goods to market.
My grand parents emigrated from Sweden in the late 1890's to homestead in Canada. Visited some relatives in early 2000's in Sweden. Really amazed that you can make a living on the size of the Swedish farms that we saw. Love to see more videos of your equipment and farming methods. Real pleasure to watch you work!👍👍👍
Excellent! Thank you so much for uploading this piece of tractor history. It's very well made to still be so reliable, provided you attend to her many maintenance needs! Very brave of you to drive it rather than trailer it! But I think you know her well, so you knew she would make it! Thank you once again from an English Farmer.
@3:10 - I thought you were making a joke about "Swedish" 'mil's, but I'll be dipped - I looked it up and it's a blessed real thing. You Scandahoovians are pretty crafty...well, except for the Danes. They had to be different. (I'm kidding. I love the Danes. I visited Billund for a week on business.)
I've never seen a tractor like that, that's what makes playing with old tractors fun. One thing for sure, nobody can steel it unless they know the starting procedure. We have one fire truck that is still carbureted and only the people over 50 which is half the force, can start it.
You wouldn't normally do that entire procedure every day. He did a full lube on it because it had been sitting for a long time. The bulk of that procedure is performed intermittently as maintenance.
@@adamoneale4396 He explained in a separate comment where I inquired about the lube system that there is oil being pumped to various parts of the engine; I suspect he gave the various items a bath because they had been sitting for years, which allows all the oil they had before to weep down, and he didn't want to dry start them. The pump would have eventually refilled it, but running a completely irreplaceable engine dry until then is just not a good plan. :)
@@edifyguy fair enough. I was thinking about all the nipples he had to fill with the grease gun mainly. I completely concur with the advice on not running an engine dry. That equals the big sad
Fascinating machine, thank you for the video. It makes me appreciate the paltry maintenance needs of my 50 year old machines, something I still manage to complain about.
Your tractor is in very good condition for its age. It also looks well designed, with all of the grease knuckles and oiling points that are easily accessible.
Amazing old machine! I can tell you that most airplanes are easier to preflight than that tractor is. Farmers are often judged to be simple, when in fact they are some of the smartest and most capable people on the earth. Love your videos! Thank you for sharing!
Never heard of such an engine . . . as the saying goes, you learn something new every day! Stumbled across your channel and have been watching your videos. Quite interesting.
That tractor looked at home coming down your driveway. The surroundings suited it. Glad to know you will give the tractor some work. Old machinery likes to have something to do, it keeps them happy. 👍😎
Hi. Ive got something heavy on my mind, so i hope this aint too random: RUclips has Issues... if you wanna know a way to help, tell me. I claim to know one. Daring claim? Maybe. But i still say so and ask you to ask me about it. I fought Racism, Sexism, P0rn, Scammer, Spam-Bots and P-Spam-Bots before - and you can do this too. So my claim.
cheers from Calgary Alberta, Canada of course. Just found your site and enjoy it greatly. We use Swedish miles also, kilometers is our term. Looking forward to seeing all your videos.
Attached boy!!! She's very complicated with allowing the oil points, now be nice to her and treat in the life she is comfortable with, and put her in the barn
Wow it took me back to my childhood of the 1950s, dad would take me to work on Sat Sundays, he dug tunnels and in the compressor shed was a line on Consolidated Pneumatic compressors from the USA all shining with the oily rag polish constantly given them by the attendant. Lube oil sight glasses, grease cap being filled, belts being listened to, the note changed when they needed adjusting of course you needed to be an expert to know the note. My uncle retiring his Shire horses from ploughing to a life of cart pulling and resting in the orchard, when the Brand new Ferguson tractor arrived in it's grey livery. My first job on leaving school driving a Fordson Major, crank start, petrol start and paraffin for running (TVO) tractor vaporising oil. Cast iron grill, metal seat but fitted with a deluxe cushion of a hessian sack folded just right. Those were the days when a tractor driver drove a straight line by eye, not a GPS hands free gizmo. Thanks for taking me back, stay safe.
I have loved all your videos, from the forest bear to the tiller. Just getting them running, after so much age and neglect, is exciting to watch. Keep up the good work!
In my youth in 1965 I learned how to operate an old similar engine for a fishing boat, with a top, which had to be heated to red before being started with compressed air! And sometimes going the wrong way - and how to change direction then.
Hey Richard, not only to turn the key and press the startbutton 😄 Remember on my first job , when may employer show me how to start his BM 10. Exactly the same procedier. Wintertime we hade some kerosen mixed with the dieselfuel to make it start eaesier. Thanks for interesting video.
Very impressive Richard. That is a very carefully preserved 1957 Opel Olympia Rekord & only 9 years younger than the Munktell. 😉 OTOH, the Rekord 1488 cc ohv four-cylinder water-cooled engine engine dates back to 1937, but is considerably easier to start.
Hi Richard , this video is absolutely gold mate. I’ve seen only a couple of Munktells here in Australia and they are not in original paint. Love the two headed blowlamp . Cheers Jenko
Hello Jenko! Thank you. So there is some old BM's over there to, thats fun. Here old BMs are very common, but not these old hot bulb ones. Yes that torch is original to just this modell. Very sensitive, as you can see. I think it running a bit rich on kerosene. Regards.
Quite the procedure to get it started. It's obviously tried and true because it still runs after all these years. What a gorgeous old tractor. I love it!😁👍

sweeet find! Enjoyed all Videos so far of this Tractor !
Thank you for Sharing your Projects!
Nice tractor thanks for sharing
My father had a BM20 tractor and I use to drive it very often, but my father started it.
I live in the US, have been into tractors since as a boy I lived on my Uncles farm.
Now in my 60’s I regularly go to organized antique tractor & small engines events in my area. I bring my own stuff, buy sell and love to talk tractors with other enthusiasts. I do my share of watching utube for rigs that are new to me. You deal with old but runnable European examples that are quite fascinating!
I have revived similar old implements and odd things but your machines I would never see over here.
Your channel is very relaxing and interesting at the same time! You have a nice vibe and
you like to share your passion with the rest of the world.
Thankyou
Have you ever seen a Volvo Bm in real life?
@@swedishcrowbar4211 I have never seen one over here. I feel there are a lot more US tractors over there than European tractors over here.
@@nhmtrhd Well I Tell you, Bolinder Munktell and Volvo BM are Swedish cuality tractors!
I Enjoy Seeing Old Tractors Come Alive, and I appreciate you going through the Methodology of the Maintenance. Well Done.
Thank you! /Richard
After 73 years the condition of that tractor is amazing. It must have had some good owners during its life. It was nice to see that it is still being looked after well.
Had a Detroit run backwards on me once was quite an exciting experience!!!!
A backwards running Detroit often ends with new underwear. /Richard
@YesterdaysMachinery yeah I was in a jump seat sitting next to it and right by the exhaust and air cleaner... will change your world lol...
1st timer here. Very cool to see/hear your video and not a bunch of techno music. Bravo from New Mexico.
Thanks 😊😊
I’m so glad I found this channel, I love the fact that you maintain and keep things running. I’d rather see something that has a bit of history and runs instead of something sitting in a scarp yard or rotting in a field sadly
Love see old iron tractor runs better then new ones
Lovely spring day with old tractor, old Opel car and a successful retrieval, all good👍!
Whata Great tractor! Thank you for the 'Education', and the 'Ride-Along!'
What a nice nice little tractor, I sure wish I had this, i could put a snow plow on this baby and use it to clear away my 3' of snow I got on my long drive way & yard, great tractor, 👌🤠😁👍
It is a big lump of cast iron 😁 But sure does work, and is very interesting and odd! /Richard
She’s a beauty great to see someone work it properly quality job!
i am glad also at finding this channel lovely tractors from the past
Thanks! 😊
Thanks for the great show to see the
Same tractor my grandfather had!
🚜😊❤️✨
Hi! Yes many in Sweden have memories with these old Munktells from back in the days 😊/Richard
Great video of a lovely old tractor 👌
Cool a new brand I didn't know of !
I love the sound of these old engines. 🥰
Very odd and interesting! /Richard
Beautiful! Seems like a more refined version of the Lantz Bulldog...
Yes, 2 smaller cylinders instead of one big. Sure is way better to drive. /Richard
Schöner Film, interessante Technik ,alles gut zu sehen ! Schöne Gegend ! Ich beneide Dich 😀👍
Hi, and thanks! Nice to hear from you! /Richard
I love old tractors....although sometimes they don't love me. First class video. Thanks!
I thought Id never see one! I read about em in a book when I was a kid but I never thought id see one running!
Nice machines i think, and really a odd interesting design. Sure could use one at the Crusty Crab 😉
Very happy to have found this channel. I didn't even know engines like this existed. Extremely cool. Thank you for the look back in time.
Cool! I didn't know multi-cylinder hot bulb tractors were a thing
Oh yes. And they are actually very nice to use. Very little vibrations and strong. /Richard
Wery Nice trip and Nice to See your old clasick tractor 👍😊let is See more Please. Thanks a lot . Michell .Norway 👍😊😊🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
Vad fint skick traktorn är i. Och häftig blåslampa med dubbla utblås, det har jag aldrig sett förut.

Exactly. Machines like to work even old ones. Keeps them living longer.
Nice to se someone taking care of those old mashines great vork
What a beautiful machine.
It's lucky to have a caring owner again. It looks like it's been looked after so im guessing it will outlast most of us!!
Thanks. Yes if you just oil a machine like this it just never stops 😊 /Richard
That tractor is cleaner than most peoples cars. Awesome!
Excellent videos ! 👍
Der PKW sieht nach Opel Olympia aus, sehr schön !
Beautiful piece of machinery. Congratulations
Well sir there is a reason why I have the nick name of Motorhead. I love hands on, including the

The old girl probably appreciated the long drive home. Clear all the cobwebs out and get everything moving again. Great video.
Yes, i think so too. She feels happy now when running again 😊
Great Videos , Very Glad I Found These !

Beautiful machinery was made to be looked after and last forever, Toady's machinery is lucky to last the warranty period.

What a lovely tractor, she is just loyal! I love how hands on the engine is but imagine having to do that procedure every day though!
You wouldn't normally do that entire procedure every day. He did a full lube on it because it had been sitting for a long time. The bulk of that procedure is performed intermittently as maintenance.
@@edifyguy oh fair enough. Wouldn't the moving parts wear dry fairly quickly being manual fill?

Very cool

This knowledge is so valuable! Thank you for taking the time to keep this information alive 👍
Fantastically beautiful machine. I especially loved the tour on how it works, and the view from the drivers seat! Thank you for sharing!!
very interesting video
Beautiful
Seen my comment, i wonder?
Amazing old machine! I can tell you that most airplanes are easier to preflight than that tractor is. Farmers are often judged to be simple, when in fact they are some of the smartest and most capable people on the earth. Love your videos! Thank you for sharing!
I've read that the US army, in WW2 days, put farm boys in tanks, because they knew engines. If you can make a tractor work, you can make a tank work.
Never heard of such an engine . . . as the saying goes, you learn something new every day! Stumbled across your channel and have been watching your videos. Quite interesting.
Look up shotgun tractor start if you want another weird machine
Thanks for explanation.. Luv it 👍👍😊
Wow,never seen an engine like that… amazing….
... And you drive an Opel Olympia Rekord!!!!
