@@morantaylor Years ago, in a Farming Simulator 13 forum, a guy who was playing FS13 with his daughter posted that she wanted a pink tractor. So I reskinned a Massey 6290 so it was pink and linked it to them.
I am absolutely amazed by your understanding of diesels. I know they are relatively simple but to walk into the brush and get a machine running is a skill. Hats off.
Damn man i can't believe you are watching a Kiwi bloke find and repair old abandoned heavy equipment lol. Im looking forwards to some updates on your channel. I hope you and Yuka had a great time in Australia
Way back in 88, 89, 90 ,,,, I worked in a tire shop where the farmers in the area would bring in flat tractor tires for me to fix. Didnt mind it so much until winter . They would bring em in frozen ,,, I would have to wait half a day for them to thaw out . A real pain in the ass operation. Thanks man.
Lovely video. My dad has an International 474 which is maybe 10 years younger than this one. Dad is a retired farmer and has dementia, he can't walk unaided anymore, but I helped him get it running a couple of weeks ago after the winter, just needed a new battery. They really are little warriors, they never break. The look on dad's face when it fired up again, sheer glee. It was gifted to dad 20 years ago in the will of a friend of his. The friend was also a retired framer, older than dad, but he had been a WW2 fighter pilot (a group captain none-the-less) and had a farm in Africa after the war. When he moved back to the UK he bought this tractor for his UK farm and then left it to dad when he died. Dad used to rent extra fields from him for sheep and they got to know each other that way. When he was in his last couple of years I would go round to see him as a teenager and show him how to use a computer to write letters and things and he'd tell me stories from the war. Amazing how an old tractor can link you to people and events.
My grandparents have Nuffield 4/65.. the damn thing has gone trough hell and back... then demanded more and its still running and working even though it should have broken down decades ago, but it still keeps on going. 3rd lift link is holding on its dear life.. i dont know how it has not failed since there is no longer treads or really a shaft left.. the bolt is jammed 45 degree on its place and that is only thing holding it in place, while its still enough to lift more than front ends weight. Given it has been like that 20 years... yeah. I'm about to fix that soon enough... but pretty sure grandparents thought the same thing... Well these things are prime movers and never should be scrapped. If its utterly destroyed then sell it as parts not scrap! Only really wrong with ours is shifter sometimes slips past the lugs in transmission putting it into middle lock state requiring "gentle violence" or taking the transmission cover off and back again. Chore and i'm looking solution for that, just dont want to mess anything up. Restore and maintain these beasts since they build the world and will continue to maintain it, unlike likes of Deere that absolutely hates right to repair, making it hard as possible.
Hey Marty, FYI for trouble shooting purposes, the glow plugs are run in series, so a bad connection anywhere will kill the circuit. There is a glow plug indicator (heating element) to the left of the steering column. It is also part of the circuit. Mine likes its glow plugs for the first start of the day. Without them it won't start without the joy juice. There's also a filter for the hydraulic oil inside the system. It's under the big heavy differential cover under the seat. Cheers!
@@Islandwaterjet You're very welcome. The one in the dash absolutely needs to stay in the circuit as well. If you bypass it and go straight to the plugs they will see too much voltage and you'll burn them out. Ask me how I know :-)
@@Islandwaterjet The good old pepper pot glow indicator/ballast resistor. Some European tractors (Steyr T80 and T84) didn't have a cover with little holes, just one round hole in the dash, the perfect size for lighting a cigarette 😀
Hey Robin, I don't think that is correct. That would mean each glowplug would have to have 2 connections. 1 in 1 out to the next, I've only ever seen a common power rail with the body of the glowplug being the earth. Could be wrong.....wouldn't be the first time
@@duanescott5399 Look carefully, the wires going from one glow plug to the next one are not in contact, there is an insulator between them, and the whole circuit is isolated from the engine.
@@RobinWilkinson I made the very smart mistake of removing one on my 444 and testing it on a 12v battery with a pair of wires to each contact, needless to say I won't do that again after watching it glow white and melt instantly🙃
Hey Marty. Greetings from the Adirondack Mountains in northern New York, USA. I love joining you in your mechanical adventures via RUclips. You have got a terrific storey telling manner in addition to your automotive - mechanical expertise! Thank you for bringing the rest of us along. It is both enjoyable and appreciated!👍
Awesome videos Marty T tractor sitting there long time you know what you doing clean up everything top to bottom air filter battery hope she turns over move own power bless you my friend over in Australia down under
If you have amassed a knowledge of engines/machinery this isn't really that difficult. Especially if it was parked and left, not broken and left. Being covered Is a big win too. Diesels are especially happy to sit for decades, since the fuel is oil they are far less likely to rust and size internally. A gas engine, especially one that wouldn't run right and got a bunch of raw fuel or worse starting fluid dumped down it's yap then left for dead with washed clean cylinder walls rusted solid is no fun. Plus the diesel fuel itself doesn't go really bad. Fungus growth does happen sometimes but it's not as bad as dried up gas. Not saying everyone can do this but it's not rocket surgery 😂
To be completely fair old diesels don't take a hell of a lot to get going and can sit for 50 years without issue. Still awesome but not the same as getting a modern engine going.
Wish these old machines could talk. Story would be epic and sad. Waiting for your people to come back for you as the days become months. Then years then decades...
The eels are friendly caused the farmer probably feed them for years. The tractor is really a nice deal. YOU were real lucky with an old machine. Most of the time is is beyond a quick and easy fix. I would bet the original owner really took care of the machine, PERIOD !!!!!! Nice video too Sir.
That tractor was probably made in Doncaster, Yorkshire where the International factory was during the 60s/70s that I know of. It was a massive place, I had to go there about 1977/8 when I worked for an agricultural engineering firm in Durham City. For me it's great to see these old tractors being brought back to life. I watch your videos Marty thank you for doing what you do. They could stand for years like that one and still come back to life.
@@kenhart6330 Allis Chalmers became another massive name globally starting in Canada not sure if ever associated with International during this time tho. Great Tractors all this era.
Did they make Nuffield tractors there as well? I think I read that somewhere. This reminds me of the look of a Nuffield I used to drive for light work on my father's farm in the late 1970s and early 1980s. We lived not too far from Doncaster near York.
What a charming little video! Supplies in the back of the truck, off to the site, right to work, getting the job done I could watch these videos all day long. And feeding the eels was an absolute bonus! Cheers.
Indeed. I think I would have been inclined to soak it with water first and wear a decent mask to remove that. He pretty much had to break it up to get it out. It's amazing how common asbestos was and how little information about the hazard was around in the 1960s and 70s. I helped a friend demolish and break up an asbestos garage in about 1975 - we didn't know any better.
@@JefferyAshmore I have recently found out that there are still lots of roofs with asbestos "slates" and apparently, when repairing than they put new asbestos slates to replace any broken ones.
Asbestos is a common mineral in nature. It's a weathering product of common rocks. You breath it all the time, it's a part of ordinary dust. Don't pack your lungs full of it and you should be fine.
It’s just like the International tractor we had on our farm here in Tassie in the ‘70s! Some of my earliest and happiest memories are riding around on my grandfather’s lap on that thing!
As a bodyman of 31yrs I don’t know a lot about engines so I’m always amazed how your able to get these engines running. Knowing how each component functions seems to be most important to be able to correct them. You do great work Marty👍🙂
If you want to learn old diesels is the easiest path. They are incredibly simple with few parts prone to failure. Everything is mechanical. Most will fire up with very little effort if it will spin freely. Especially if you have ether
My old 2n sat for three very wet months once and the clutch rusted so tight we could not get it to break free by any means. Glad yours came free without too much fuss. Had to split mine. Nice job saving another machine!
My clutch was stuck and I put a block of wood on top of the pedal and let it sit heating the shed it was in and then letting it freeze a few times over the course of a few months. Eventually it popped - I tried doing what Marty did but it didn't work. Anything is better than splitting the tractor!
@charlesinscore4107 It is a native of NZ. It is a type of yucca that grows sort of like a saguaro cactus in size and shape. They are used ornamentally in temperate climate areas over the planet, like southern England where they are called Cornish palms. In NZ they grow wild and can reach 30 feet high or more. They are called cabbage trees because the roots are edible and smell like cabbage.
I have a B276 and previously owned a B250. These have the same engines as this one with some minor differences. They absolutely love their glow plugs!! Fix the glow plug wiring/switch and it will fire up immediately no matter the weather. They are great little tractors, keep up with the maintenance and it will serve you well. I have a few videos of my B276 on my channel, they may help you.
That air cleaner was greasy but no rust. Just that forethought of a can on the exhaust made all the difference. Your skill is amazing in breathing life back in old iron.
Think the wife will notice another old red tractor ? I'll bet not they pretty much look the same and sound it too!! Best to you and fam!! And thanks for the time you take to make these!!
That tractor came out of the woods looking like an old soldier that was still holding his watch since ww2 and no one told him the war was over!! Good stuff sir!
Este tractor lo usábamos para transportar aceitunas, casi siempre tiraba de un remolque excesivamente cargado para un tractor tan modesto pero extraordinariamente fiable, nunca nos dejó tirados. Gracias por traernos tan gratos recuerdos.
I grew up in the country. While I never had regular chores I often helped my father deliver firewood with a tractor and trailer. I appreciate your step by step, careful revival of this great old machine. Blessings and good fortune to you.
You never go wrong with Perkins diesel motor, very reliable and stable. We had two IH, one from GB and one from Germany, and the GB had Perkins motor was the best and most reliable. The german had IH own motor. Thank you for sharing your videos. God bless you and your family.
My father had one of those when i was a kid, I used to take ot through the dirt roads down to the sea for a swim in the summer. I really took everything out of it going full throttle sideways through every turn.
MARTY IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN'T FIX IT'S AMAZING WATCHING YOU WHERE DID LEARN HOW TO FIX EVERY I WOULD NEVER BET MONEY THAT YOU COULDN'T FIX IT NO MATTER WHAT IT IS HOPE YOUR LAD STARTS DOING SAME THING IN 10 YEARS😊😊😊
Parts manual says it is asbestos. I had an A414 and I removed it too. Luckily mine was pretty intact with years and oil soaked into it. Also you need atleast 10 seconds on the glow plug to have a hope of it starting, they are wired in series too so if you lose one you lose them all.
For years i had a 1953 international B275 diesel tractor. A real workhorse but parts were hard to come by. The primary fuel pump was operated by a manual pump to bleed out the fuel filter. Miwed the hilly fields of Thetford VT fir msny years.
How totally fantastic, Sir. You are one lucky dog. That baby doesn't even smoke, you landed on all 4 feet here. What a treat to see how this turned out... ya gotta love an International diesel like this.. and the 3-point works great.... Thank you for recording all the angles, view... Just Great...!!!
Old farm equipment and cars never ceases to amaze me. Sadly I can't imagine many guys attempting to revive many cars from this era. Since they're basically designed to fall apart.
I am from India and I have seen this tractors as a kid. Nowadays not seen as earlier they were so common. Restore it to it's former glory. Greeting from India.
Marty next time you have issues with glow plugs boil a kettle of water and pour the water over the fuel lines going into the injector's intern pre heating the fuel. Its an old Aussie bush trick It even works on modern diesel fuel rails when you have faulty glow plugs.😎
'I have never seen wheels that rusted'. You should see the slurry tractors in uk that have been constantly damp with cow slurry until the day they would not atart any longer! 😅 Great episode as always.
Great little tractor . Don’t leave it idling in neutral for too long….they have a habit of welding the input shaft to the output shaft ……and driving off in top gear !!! Will never forget watching my dad chase ours down as it took off paddock ….!!!
The methodical way you brought it back to life - and the engine sounded sweet for something that hadn't run for 20 years. My father was apprenticed to the International Harvester Company in 1947 and used to service machinery like this in rural South Australia. He used to tell me stories about such things. I loved your video.
I think those tractors were built around 1967. I can remember sitting on one when I was a kid at Hereford market tractor dealer stall . heaters go through a resistance that takes it down to five volt, putt 12 on it will blow the glowplugs. There are upgrade kits available
The tractor wiki says they were built from 1961-1966, so your recollection is probably correct. I didn't know these existed as I don't recall ever seeing one of these in my part of Canada.. And now looking on my classifieds site I see one for sale in my county. The more you know..
Great stuff Marty - amazing that the tractor eventually sprang into life after all those years and that the hydraulics still worked! Very noble of you to share your lunch with the eels - very enjoyable segment. Hope to see the International spruced up and on new wheels in the not too distant future!
Your wife's a lucky lady to have access to all these tractors. Having a live in mechanic is a bonus too. 🤭 Good work Marty, enjoyed that. 👍🏻
She’s spoiled for choice really. The trouble is deciding which tractor to use for a given task.
I think he is going to paint the rest of it pink and give it to the wife for mothers day lol
Now if I could only convince my wife that having lots of tractors was a good thing :)

My family has a international identical to the one Marty got running it’s still in good shape and running. I’m from au
Is it actually an A414? (A means Australian made; B means British made....?)
Man, it doesn’t smoke! Crazy!!
MARTY IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN'T FIX IT'S AMAZING WATCHING YOU WHERE DID LEARN HOW TO FIX EVERY I WOULD NEVER BET MONEY THAT YOU COULDN'T FIX IT NO MATTER WHAT IT IS
HOPE YOUR LAD STARTS DOING SAME THING IN 10 YEARS😊😊😊
Parts manual says it is asbestos. I had an A414 and I removed it too. Luckily mine was pretty intact with years and oil soaked into it.
Also you need atleast 10 seconds on the glow plug to have a hope of it starting, they are wired in series too so if you lose one you lose them all.
Marty's Tractor Rescue and Retirement Community. I love old machines. If I were a single man, I'd be up to my neck.
I had a 414. It was a great machine. Tough to start in gold weather but a real work horse. I believe it may have been made in England.
If it was a B 414...the B was made in " Britain".
If an A 414...made in Australia.
That PINK firewall made all the difference. Little bit of lipstick woke the old girl up. Great job. Thanks for taking us along. Loved the aerial shot.
You gave me the energy to get off my rump & change the oil in my Wheel Horse lol
For years i had a 1953 international B275 diesel tractor. A real workhorse but parts were hard to come by. The primary fuel pump was operated by a manual pump to bleed out the fuel filter. Miwed the hilly fields of Thetford VT fir msny years.
How totally fantastic, Sir. You are one lucky dog. That baby doesn't even smoke, you landed on all 4 feet here. What a treat to see how this turned out... ya gotta love an International diesel like this.. and the 3-point works great.... Thank you for recording all the angles, view... Just Great...!!!
Love the eels when I was a kid love catching them in our local stream great memories
Revival AND wildlife. Real bonus. Many thanks from the UK.
That clutch trick was clever. Don't think I'd have thought that one up if it were me in your shoes.
Old farm equipment and cars never ceases to amaze me. Sadly I can't imagine many guys attempting to revive many cars from this era. Since they're basically designed to fall apart.
A tractor sanctuary, You are making a tractor sanctuary... 😉😊 Well done job again..!
Them Eels are fighting over camera time. They know this is a Marty T video my man.
Love to see equipment drive out of their graves!! Great job!!!!!!!!!!
It's getting to the point that you could almost open a tractor museum. Another great video. Thank you!
I am from India and I have seen this tractors as a kid. Nowadays not seen as earlier they were so common. Restore it to it's former glory.
Greeting from India.
Used to own an identical tractor....great we tractor.....ours did well over 10000 hrs
Marty next time you have issues with glow plugs boil a kettle of water and pour the water over the fuel lines going into the injector's intern pre heating the fuel. Its an old Aussie bush trick
It even works on modern diesel fuel rails when you have faulty glow plugs.😎
That makes sense, nice trick
Or try a LPG / Mapp gas burner straight into the intake (heat the air).
'I have never seen wheels that rusted'. You should see the slurry tractors in uk that have been constantly damp with cow slurry until the day they would not atart any longer! 😅 Great episode as always.
Great little tractor . Don’t leave it idling in neutral for too long….they have a habit of welding the input shaft to the output shaft ……and driving off in top gear !!! Will never forget watching my dad chase ours down as it took off paddock ….!!!
The methodical way you brought it back to life - and the engine sounded sweet for something that hadn't run for 20 years.
My father was apprenticed to the International Harvester Company in 1947 and used to service machinery like this in rural South Australia. He used to tell me stories about such things. I loved your video.
Nice to see a great old tractor find a new home!!!. Absolutely love watching how detailed you are when getting these old machines..
You have managed to breathe life back into another forgotten relic. That's fantastic Marty. 👊🦊👍
These are great Videos Marty! always something new to learn...and properly :) keep them coming!!
I think those tractors were built around 1967. I can remember sitting on one when I was a kid at Hereford market tractor dealer stall . heaters go through a resistance that takes it down to five volt, putt 12 on it will blow the glowplugs. There are upgrade kits available
The tractor wiki says they were built from 1961-1966, so your recollection is probably correct. I didn't know these existed as I don't recall ever seeing one of these in my part of Canada.. And now looking on my classifieds site I see one for sale in my county. The more you know..
Greetings from North central Illinois, USA. Best video yet, mate!
Great stuff Marty - amazing that the tractor eventually sprang into life after all those years and that the hydraulics still worked! Very noble of you to share your lunch with the eels - very enjoyable segment. Hope to see the International spruced up and on new wheels in the not too distant future!
