The Legend is Retiring- Ep34- Outsider Log Cabin
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- My dad and I have been on a journey to build our own log cabin. This series of videos is a 'behind-the-scenes' look of our bigger "Log Cabin on a Budget" series. This spring, we have been hauling logs to our portable sawmill, and processing them into lumber. In this episode I also reminisce about all that we've been through over the years to get to where we are today. And finally, I make an announcement... the legend is retiring.

Funny how we get sentimental about our machines. Your vids take me back to our old Ford 2000... what a great thing to have in your childhood.
Sad to see your W4 go, that’s what brought me to your channel. I hope that Massey takes care of you the same way that your McCormick did
That's a beautiful old tractor man! I love that you make due with what you have as long as it is logical.
I enjoy your videos which I recently discovered, Thank you for being family friendly; i've never heard a single offensive word on your channel, and your explanations are clear for my 73-yr-old brain. I hope Mrs. Outsider is doing well. Please give updates on her and little outsider. I love your spirit and your openness in giving God the glory for all things. I'm an old admirer from Alabama, USA.
Nice...my dad has many old tractors that he has restored. They call him the tractor man! Nice choice.
Loved the old tractor.... 😍 I sure we’ll all fall in love with new one. Sounds a good trade .... 👍🤠
Great film work! Great shot of filling water jug.
Replacing one good ol tractor with another good ol tractor! I've ran them both, and they are good tractors! You'll like the modern conviences of the power steering over the armstrong steering! The three point hitch is a plus, also!
Keeping tractor No.1 running for as long as you did was a testament to your skills. Hope No.2 has a long and useful life as well. I know the older models were almost bullet proof.
At 9 years old I learnt to drive on a Massy 35. Now 42 years later my sister still has it on the farm back home in West Wales. A triple roll over lottery win wouldn't buy that tractor. A legendary machine that my grandfather bought new in 1963. It has caught fire 3 times and been rebuilt. Good luck with yours and keep the videos coming.
Congrat's on the upgrade and retirement of a good old friend.
i always loved the look of old massey furgeson tractors. my grandpa restored one about 15 years ago, it was one my grandma often used for raking hay
Congratulations on the New Beauty
Goodbye Lil Red. Hello Big Red! I appreciate seeing these additional videos as I patiently await Episode 14. It's good you appreciate good engineering in your tractor and in your dad.
This was a great watch, thank you for uploading this! I like your idea of a contest to name your new tractor....... I think " Miss Massey"
I had the same one! ❤️🙏 Miss my massie.... love watching your vids. 🙏❤️
Nice tractor. Love your channel❗👍
Well even a tractor has it life and yours did a lot since ur channel came to be.. and I hope the guy who bought it take good care of ur 50s tractor.
Now Let's hope the 60s one has more stuff to do like it predecessor....just make sure this machines parts are available..before hand.
Thank you for the video..stay safe..God bless
I have a Ford, 1953 Jubilee and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Been in our family since it was new and it has served three generations of our family. I wonder how many new tractors will hold up so long.
I loved the agility of your old tractor (you called it Willie, in the beginning, didn't you) but this new one, looks like a beast. It's great to know your old tractor, will be going to a new home, and be loved on.
I had the Farmall A...the little brother to this machine...it was a workhorse also....I miss it every time I think of it....woodsmn
Your videos are excellent in all ways. Those old tractors are like bulldogs, pound for pound, tough beasts.
Thank you very much Jack. You're right about the old tractors.
Love the new tractor hitch will really be a great tool for what you're doing there your dad looks more comfortable on it too love what your doing I'm starting a cabin myself good luck friend
Great work horse absolutely! your dad is a legend! 😂 nice newer tractor too.
Loved watching the old iron work. I have a few old Farmalls. Easy to work on, and keep going under the toughest conditions. Too bad your W-4 didn’t have a 2 point Fast Hitch. That would have given you a good lift system. If you can, show us the W-4 after it’s been restored by the guy you sold it to.
Nice score on the Massey. That looks like a solid tractor.
None of the standard tractors had a fast hitch. You can get live hydraulics but they are a rare option on a W-4. More common on a W-6 or W-9.
when i watched 8:25 i said in my mind "rip the sawmill with all those muddy rocks and sand in it making the blade unsharp"
My friends got an old 1964 JD 3020 Diesel tractor that when their dad passes I hope to get a chance at buying since he is leaving me an old 1956 Ford F-600 Farm truck Both need to be gone through and brought back to their glory.
I thought you had mentioned when locating the cabin site that there was a water spring close close by? Also congrats on the trackor. Hope that diesel doesn't give you to many issues starting in the cold out in the bush.
Temp water gathering, watertight tarp on a hill site? Bottom side a bit up, and a lot of square feet collecting.
So sad to see it go... but a nice Massey to replace it... that'll do.
That tractor reminds me of our Ford 8n. It too is a tank. Not diesel though. Great video.
Congrats! I have been fallowing this channel for awhile and the old tractors are the icing on the cake lol. I want a ih 444 first gen diesel (in the ballpark size as your new to you tractor). Helping out my mom on her homestead/ off grid tiny-ish house make me wish I had a tractor.
i agree with you on how tuff old iron is. i have a 1940 ford 9n and put it thru its paces and still works great.
Gotta love the old iron.
the diesel will be safer for you; not as quick on the throttle; the 3 pt hitch will make skidding easier as well; and the attachments available are numerous; great update; all the best
Oh man 🙁 The little red tractor that could has been like a character on your channel. What a work horse. 67 years and still going , that's a testament of how well things used to be built. Can't really say that about things built today. However I do like the new tractor. Love the vids.
We've been thinking of buying the same Sawmill you guys have, and watching your videos has really helped the decision making process. Thanks, keep it up!
It's sad the old girl has done her last hauling. All things have a shelf life, even long ones.
Very cool! Seems abit smoother!
Yes I'm loving it so far. I think it's a perfect fit for the kind of conditions I'm working in.
The Outsider nice to see dad has got a chance to drive it too!! Lol 😉
The Outsider that diesel will be a stinker in the cold to start,bring heaters !
Happy to see you have got yourself some kant hooks sure does make moving logs around much better. The 35 will be a big improvement. Winter will not be a big deal if you have a block heater and a way to plug it in.
Those old IH tractors are classics. Please find it a good home.
If the exhaust is under it I would recommend reroute it facing up so if you get stuck it won't get clogged with mud I wish I did it before I got stuck nice tractor
Looks like it may have been used in an orchard, that could account for the underneath exhaust. Have it pointing up, keep it out of the snow & mud. The MF 35 (I thought I saw 35x on one of the stickers) is a great machine, especially if it's the 3-cyl Perkins, they were rated at almost 45 hp. There's also a differential lock for sticky situations. The pedal for that feature is operated by the heel of your right foot.
Love the new tractor. I've got a 1964 mf35 with the Perkins a3 152. You'll really like yours, stout and very tough. Consider putting chains on the wheels.
Have you thought about a hog lift for the tractor? Might be useful. Love watching you work those old iron horses.👍
I had a 1955 R110 straight 6 International Harvester Robin's Egg Blue pickup up I bought from the Cheyenne, Wyoming Conoco Oil distributor. It was 1977 after I graduated from high school. Oh man It had a low low 1st gear. I could throw bales of Alfalfa Hay to my uncle's farm. Then when college rolled around I drove 600 miles to Texas at 50-55 mph, 60 down hill! I handed it down to my younger brother in 1987. There years before marriage. He rebuilt the engine, wow so beautiful! Sadly it sits in his garage while he travels all over doing Insurance Appraisals for hurricane or other major damaged areas. He refuses to sell it back to me. I know I know everyone he doesn't have to. I miss it horribly. I'm 61 and a retired OTR driver and handicapped. I can drive still. Geez I shouldn't post. But I guess I'm saying is that vehicles from that period were solid and stout. I hate computer and electronics. I can't fix my vehicles. $$$$$$ out the wazoos to the garage. Sorry for the windbag post.
The new tractor looks great!
I was glad he got another vintage tractor.
Love the 35 there three cylinders sound off my child hod
RUclipsSurfer yeah the old vintage ones are the best
That certainly keeps it out of the mud.
I guess you can’t complain about what that red tractor helped you do...that tractor has been there when you need it the most...gonna miss them wheelies when you first start off...wood is looking good....T.Gunz
lol It's funny you mention those pesky little wheelies. One of my nicknames for the W4 was "Papa Wheelie". Short for the term 'pop-a-wheelie.'
This breaks my heart!!!
Consider getting a carry all. You could roll the log on to it and lift it up and roll it off onto the mill. Save a lot on the back. I use mine to move firewood logs and lift them off the ground to cut them up. also good for moving anything you can get on a pallet.
Peter Lawrence Good to know!
Awesome newer tractor!
Nice score on the Massey. A log grapple on the 3 point would sure make skidding logs much easier plus put more weight on your back tires for more traction! Good luck and hopefully the massey treats you even better than the old Mccormick/Farmall did!
Thank you! I'm actually hoping to get my hands on a boom pole very soon, which will help pick the logs off the ground for me. Massey Ferguson 35s have a great reputation in the bush, so I think it'll do a great job for me.
The Outsider that pole will also help keep your logs cleaner! Good luck!
A gem the new Massey. ....I want one :-)
They sure are! They are a popular bush tractor in my area.
I have one with a 3 cyl And I really love it. I even now have a 245 Massey with a hydraulic wood splitter
I know so much about tractors that if you hadn't told me, I would have never known. Lol
Bye bye sweet red tractor. Modern inventions and progress are good for humanity, but nothing now a days lasts 67 years.
Planned obsolescence is a real and ever present staple in a lot of current engineering. Before the 1970's or so it was a rarity.
You can buck the trend as much as you can. I drive a13 year old car, text on 6 year old cell phone and am typing this on a 10 year old computer. I can afford a new car, phone and computer, I just choose not to.
Editor 001 That is EXACTLY how I live. I went to law school, did the whole corporate America ladder clumbing, houses, cars, etc. Everything changed when I lost my mom and my brother...my mind and soul shifted. I haven't bough new clothes in 2 years. TWO years. And I don't plan on it until I go through most of mine (which is ALOT). I drive a 10 year old car that will probably last me another 10 years and I live in a 1994 Dodge Ram Class B Campervan.
I am glad i'm from yesteryear as I turned 67 years old yesterday and still kickin it!! I love the videos and I too thought the dad was retiring from the video and not the tractor.
They are also not as capable. A W-4 is 26 horsepower but a new 26 horsepower tractor is much less capable. Why? Because they are built so light. a W-4 weighs about 4000 lbs, a new 26 hp tractor is about half that heavy.
Congrats on the "new" tractor! Glad to see the McCormick still working away for someone else.If time permits I'm sure many of us would like to see a walk around of the Massey,btw you and your dad make a great team,makes me smile when I see you guys enjoying the woods and completing projects!
from one fine machine to another.
Nice! The old tractor is a classic, but so is this one! This Massey looks like it's in excellent condition and should be an even better work horse for you! Stay safe!
Gotta love the sweet notes of a Perkins engine, good purchase. Have a MF 148 myself, solid and reliable tractors.
Initially when you said "The Legend is retiring" I thought it was your Dad! (Glad it was the tractor!!) What an amazing man...may you be blessed with many more years together!
I'm glad it's the tractor too! Your comment warmed my heart and I know that my dad will appreciate it too.
The Outsider - Greetings from my Disneyland neighborhood here in Southern California!♡
awesome video, reminded me of a tractor l got to use for the weekend when l was in my teens "long time ago but the tractor made such an impression that l still have fond thoughts about how awesome that tractor was. lm glad you have a tractor that suited to what you want it for makes work so much lighter. Thank you for the video, your making great progess.
Another great video
Randy Crews Thanks!
I've got a little 1950s Farmall A, and sure she doesnt have all the gadgets and it sure isnt comfortable but itll start and go everytime.
Nice job! I'm glad that this tractor is larger and has more ground clearance for you. It will be a work horse.
I sure hope woodland mills give you something for all this awesome exposure
Farewell beautiful old machine..........welcome slightly newer beautiful old machine........nice upgrade 👍
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for giving us an update on the retirement of our very much loved tractor! So glad it's going to a new home that will appreciate and take care of it! Yep, a horse farm sounds perfect! Going 'red-to-red' ain't all bad. In fact, it GREAT! I'm sure it wasn't the color that sold you on your 'new' tractor, but the fact it, too, is RED is purdy durn SPECTACULAR! Again, thanks for the update!
Truthfully I am kinda glad you getting rid of the tractor. It was a great old machine and I don't mean to be the safety police but I seen that tractor get a bit light on the front end and could tip with no roll bar. Perhaps your new one will have a roll bar option. My Kubota is a 2010 which can be seen on my channel. It already has more rust then your old beast. Not likely will it make it to even 20 years Take care and keep them rolling. I enjoy your channel.
As the saying goes, they sure don't build them like they used to. As long as you can still get parts for your tractor, it really doesn't matter how old it is. With proper maintenance and care, machinery can last decades.
Berkley Water Purifier!!!...just pour your water in, and it completely purifies the water.
Oh yeah, I forgot, this video was rock-solid at the same time being poetic.
It’s time for her to move to greener fields! The new tractors won’t last!!! They have to make them bigger and more powerful to just do what this tractor has done for years!
I have a 1944 model W-4 which my grandpa purchased in 1951. For 11 years that tractor farmed a half section of land by itself. Can you imagine a new 26 horsepower tractor farming 300 acres? Much less one that has done it for 11 years and still heavily used afterward for many years and it will still run when it's 76 years old? If the battery is dead, I can start it with a crank... That wouldn't happen today.
Man, I see old tractors like this along the highway all the time. Restored and all. I sure would love to get one. I am just not in the need for one right now.
Farewell W-4 you are a beast! May your “retirement “ and rebuild go well! Good luck with the Massy it’s the same year as me.
Love your videos. Can't wait to see your progress on the Cabin. The new Tractor looks like a fine machine.
That new tractor looks like a beast and will make your build a little easier.
We had a International WD-49, was a great old beast, I can still remember having to start it the old fashioned...crank handle job! Just because something is old, doesn't mean its no good but good to know that the old red machine will get a new lease of life; love the video's btw, cheers from down under.
Another cool vid. Nostalgic sound of the MF, I learned to drive on that tractor. Hopefully just as bullet proof as yr old one
That saw is bad ass
Little welding,, make yourself a log arch,, keep the logs outta the mud & lift the smaller ones onto the mill.. Snatch block hooked up high you could pull the logs up easy,, logs tongs with a swivel time savers... those heavy ones could tip you over without some weights up front or a loader..A loader would be the cats!! stay safe my friend,, s**t happens fast,, tractors ,, chainsaws, heavy logs over head,, only takes one mistake.. Aloha for a name "RED LADY TWO"!!!
That 3pt hitch will really open up what a tractor can do. At least now you can keep the logs from digging into the ground when pulling them. At first I thought you were going to get a newer one with 4wd and a cab. Best of luck with the new one, the old one was for sure a workhorse.
I can't wait to utilise the 3pth. It's really going to change how I do things in the bush. And my sawmill will certainly thank me for the cleaner logs. Someday I might have a 4wd with power-steering and a bucket, but I'm more than content with the simplicity and toughness of these old machines.
Nice wheels......👍
i bought a mf-35 deluxe last year...i could barely turn the steering wheel...i put a new steering column on it , and it steers great now...but a new steering column is pretty expense.....now i have to deal with a transmission oil leak.....it is a great running diesel....it may need a little love to get it in top shape , but for 3k$ , and it came with an almost new bush-hog , i believe it was a great deal..........i hope you have good luck with your mf-35.......allen
Congratulations on your new tractor. Be safe
You should have kept it and mounted a buzz saw on the front for cutting firewood.
The ''new'' tractor is beautiful!!!
Really enjoy your log cabin videos man! Good stuff, thumbs up from Sweden
Sorry to see the old tractor go...it was cool..luv ur videos..be safe. God bless
I have 2 tractors and I will never get rid of them because they are way better than any new tractors my first tractor I have is a 1945 Farmall H it pulls logs like nothing and anything else I use it for and my second tractor is a 1947 Ford 8N and the same thing it pulls logs and everything else.. both tractors start every time and they are easy to fix and easy to get parts for .. but a 3 point hitch is great to have
Nice up grade.
We used a tractor to harvest many logs from the woods for fire wood, it helps to lower the three point hitch drape your strap over the draw bar and clevis it to the tow bar, when you raise the three point hitch it will raise the end of the log off the ground . makes for a easier drag and less dirt.
Good luck with he build.
Thanks for the tip. I actually started doing that today with my logs. It's SO nice to finally be able to pick the log end up while towing.
@@TheOutsiderCabin
A friendly FYI: dragging a log is called skidding.
Skid the log out of the woods to the mill.
sad, i kinda liked that old bugger :D
You got a nice tractor there,when you get thru building your cabin are you gonna sell your saw mill.
Charles Bynum When I finish the cabin, I'll probably be as busy with the sawmill as ever.
Congratulations for the new tractor. It's a Diesel one, more comfortable and secure (cause the seat is ahead of the rear axle).
You will spend less money in fuel, drive it better and will may link implements on It.
Hurray!
Yes I'm already loving the better seating position on the new Massey. The W4 had me sitting right off the back end. lol
You are exactly right.... They don't make tractors like they did back in the 50s or even earlier......
Awesome, thanks for the update, I'm a 1951 model also retired LOL
Ha ha good one!
I like the new tractor you got your money's worth out of the old one! #TO
hi good luck with the new trackter
that new tractor is a beauty! congrats.
Finally no snow :D how long do you have snow in your area?
lol Yes, I'm glad it's finally gone for the summer. We have winter for approximately 5 to 6 months. Believe it or not, this is an improvement from when I used to live further north. Winter was 7 months long there.
Lol Lilly is watching you....hi Lilly
Survival Lilly iiikuii
Survival Lilly i
Very cool. Glad you still went old school.
The “new” tractor is a great upgrade now you just need to search out a bucket loader for the Massey and make a huge improvement getting wood onto the sawmill.
Wayne. Crews
I wouldn't recommend a bucket for a ST tractor, it puts lots of stress in these old tractors' front axle
the bummer about loaders is it would make it less agile for trails
