    I think that I am really going to love watching this project! In the first video on this B50 Digger, I joked that Adrian being Adrian, will have it fully restored by the time he has finished. Well, in the strictest sense of 'full-restoration', Adrian may not go that far, but I am seriously confident and with all joking aside, that it will be a very capable and safe machine by the time Adrian has finished with it. I really like Adrian's attention to detail and the way he keeps his machinery clean and tidy. Thus ensuring their longevity. I am really looking forward to the next episode on this digger.

    If I have to use any tape outside I use self amalgamating tape that is designed for aerial and satellite cables, it is silicone, waterproof, electrically insulated, only sticks to itself and UV resistant. Worth keeping a roll in the spares box!

The way you show everything and explain everything and don’t jump to things being finished is great, especially for myself who wouldn’t know any parts of tractors. You’ve got me wanting to restore an old tractor now. Keep up the great work Adrian love your videos.

    I love watching you working on and restoring this old Massey and makes me want to go and get my tools out. As a retired truck and machinery mechanic who grew up on a farm in my early years many moons ago I think the older machines are so much easier to work on and were definitely better built with decent steel and simple electrics and hardly a piece of plastic anywhere. Keep up the great work and you should be proud of your brilliant channel.

    Really enjoyable video Adrian, I have no doubt by the time you are finished the massey will be a serious addition to the farm.
    I think the reason you couldn't open the rung nut is that you were actually tightening it.Both with the vise grips and when you welded the nut.
    I maybe wrong but it looked that way to me.
    Keep up the good work. 🖒

    One thing I like to use is a small circular wire brush in a cordless drill. I go round the threads of a bolt I need to remove, then a bit of penetrating spray it gives me every chance to undo it all the way out without it going tight half way out and snapping off. You are doing a grand job there! Jim in New Zealand.
