- Having a tour of my yard and all the "projects" that I seem to have acquired over the years. I'm genuinely surprised at how much "equipment" (junk) I've collected. Unfortunately, too much to fit in one video!!
An absolute treasure trove Pete thanks for showing us around. Looking forward to P2
Thanks Mr Scania. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-) Pt 2 is on the way!
Love looking around old farms 'l live-in dairy country its always fun.Thanks Pete Cheer's Bud.
I know what you mean. Sometimes going into old farms is like stepping back in time. They made some really cool stuff back in the day. And some of the farmers were (are) incredibly ingenious with their problem solving skills. Thank you for the comment! :-)
Hi Pete, great tour. Isn’t it amazing how “stuff” just follows us home, we don’t even have to look for it. At 68 I can tell you the mind stays young and wants to keep making plans, more than I’ll ever get done. You are well on your way for that but it’s a lot better than being bored. In my book dreaming and planning adds up to accomplishing a lot in life and the satisfaction that goes with it. If you found my number in the recent comments give me a call sometime, I think we could find a few things to talk about🤣, anytime of the day is good. See you on the next one.
Hi Geoffrey! So true about "stuff" finding us. I think I have a 'road trip' coming up soon to collect more stuff. I'll give you a call on Saturday morning (your Friday arvo) to give you the inside scoop!! Talk soon. :-)
Hi mate, you certainly can fit a lot of stuff in your yard. It’s just fantastic. Well done mate
Thanks Steve, although with a bit of a 'tidy up', I reckon I could pack a whole lot more in!! Ha ha!!
Hey Pete ,You certainly have some good treasure there ,looks like a life time of projects and only seen half of it,and still getting another loader,keep happy and safe ,see you next time
Hi Frank, yes too many projects!! I wish I could stop!! Ha ha!!! Thank you for the comment. :-)
Hope your ok with the rain,mate, we were in Cairns last week cleaning up in Holloway's Beach,
You've really got some PROJECTS , there, dont envy you, but they look interesting.
Remember to stop and have a beer , now and again.😊
Hi Jeffrey, you did say you were coming up. I hope all went well for you? It's a shame we didn't get to catch up. Maybe next time. :-)
Selling the big compressor and the backhoe can help pay for your new roof on the house. Just a thought.
Hi Bob, I'm hoping that the roof will last until the house is paid off (at least, mostly paid off), then I'll get a new one fitted. But yes, a very good thought! :-)
Thanks for showing off your collection. o/
My pleasure! Thank you for watching. :-)
Pete , just lifting all those cans of oil around will keep you young ! You do have plenty of projects to keep you busy , I'm thinning out my stuff around here over the last couple years . Life is changing for me. A side note here Pete, there is a Post card that circulates around my area . I wish you could see it, sure to make you laugh ! Thanks for the lookabout mate . Scott 🌵
Hi Scott and thank you for the comment. That oil just keeps coming, whether I use it or not!! Ha ha! Yes, plenty to do, and I keep accumulating more!! Thanks for the comment. You have me curious about the postcard, now?
@@pete-mate3524 Pete . If dont mind , I will give you my email so you can send me your address . And I will send it to you , Scott 🌵
I tried to put my email in a reply Pete, apparently that is not possible on you-tube. Let me know if there is any way to send you a message privately . Scott 🌵
@@zonie70 Hi Scott, just added an email address. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Rob, yep they're a great engine and sound awesome, too! Thanks for the comment! :-)
its good to see that im not the only one who cant part with things he doesnt need anymore, even if they are completely trashed :D
Ha ha! Yep!!
cool Pete
I mean no disrespect to your collection, far form it, but to me the most impressive aspect is how much you have in suburban backyard. :)
As for the poor souls who 'don't get' why you'd put a modern chassis under pre-war body. There was an old Harley tee-shit that read something like "If I need to explain it - You'll never understand" ... so umm mate ...I think I speak for most of us here when I suggest you don't need that negativity in your life. :)
PS you are also making me feel so much less guilty about my carefully curated mountain of scrap, rubbish and assorted useful stuff.
PPS A funny for the day, I serviced two fresh chainsaws this arvo, neither would start. Pulled the plugs first, odd mix of visible symptoms, good compression, spark. Popped the fuel cap and... hang on - I'm sure the bar oil is supposed to go in the the other tank 🤔 Same with the other one, and on examination the bar oil in both was runny as and had a distinctly blueish tinge. 🤣🤣
Ha ha!! The chain won't get lubed properly, but they'll never get it started, so it won't be an issue!! Thanks for telling me that story, I had a good giggle!
In my mind, I have every intention of getting the 'few' things I need going and selling all the rest. Time will tell if this actually happens. In the meantime, I'm loving the journey!! Thanks for the comment, and the story!! :-)
@@pete-mate3524 Oh yeah, that was the 'customer complaint' the saw's wouldn't start. Alas trying to start them sucked bar oil right through the fuel system. So its either replace the lot, or keep pulling away to try and draw enough petrol in to dilute the oil - a problem for future me, and perhaps a can of butane. As for the journey mate, we're loving watching you loving it. I'm going to lay odds on playing cricket on your back lawn, mind :D
makes me feel giddy to think about having access to all these things i could fix. too bad neighbors here get up in arms if you just have a piece of roofing sitting in your garden
Hi Fred, I'm super lucky that I have awesome neighbors, here. But that said, I don't want to push my luck too far! Ha ha!! Thanks for the comments, I hope you enjoyed the tour! :-)
Ay pete would you sell that old 371 back to me?
Hi Tigger, If it was just sitting there taking up space, I definitely would. But I have plans for this motor in the relatively near future. My apologies.
Roger that mate. That drott you got there instead of cutting it up would you wanna sell that?
Dang, If you had asked me last week, I definitely would have. However, a gentleman has just purchased the track adjuster assemblies from this machine, so it's no longer 'complete' Happy to sell parts of it, if that's any help?
Ahh spewing. Let me talk to my mate and ill let you know. How can we exchange numbers without it being on here?
