    Cracking video mate, I used to watch people build cars on RUclips but it’s all the same old shite, bought this, bolted on that blah blah blah. Your content of random machinery repairs and fabrication is far more interesting and educational. As an old boy racer I find the tractor videos more interesting than the cars of today. All the best for 2024.

    Awesome engineering. Love the welds. Thinking about the obstacles and overcoming them with what you have on hand. You're a smart guy, and we love your work. You Got moxie kid.
    Keep them coming.

    That was the first vehicle I worked on as a teenager on my uncles farm in the 70's. My dad changed the brake linings because you had to drill the rivets out of the asbestos, and he didn't want me near that. I replaced all the electrics, fettling the ignition, put lights on it for lambing, and spent a while successfully getting it to steer in a straight line. We had two, one to run and one in the corner of a field for spares. We had a finger mower that was light enough to run on the back of it, I used to fix that and the bailer as well, thank you for the video, brings back a lot of memories watching it.

    Thanks for all the videos, I enjoyed watching them all. I agree the brakes will need to be decent if you're doing road runs at up to 50mph.

  • @ralphfell2119
    @ralphfell2119 19 дней назад

    To purge stainless steel pipes you can place a small rubber pipe in one end and seal around it with masking tape, you may laugh at the next bit, on coal fired power stations ( in the good old days! ) when repairs to tube leaks were carried out the inserts were purged by using an unsliced white loaf pushed into the pipe and backing gas introduced through the weld prep.
    the bread was simply destroyed by the steam later. PS - don't get caught pinching mums loaf!

    I have really loved watching your videos and really appreciate that you always leave everything in the episodes, even the things that dont work out or that go wrong. I've always appreciated that you listen to people's comments like dropping the music at the beginning. Its always interesting hearing your thought process and explanation of what and why you are doing what you are doing.
    Happy new year and please keep the videos coming ( longer never shorter ) please

    Hi Ollie, hope you're well. Tinkering with wee grey Fergie is a pretty good way to end the year I reckon. that seat's a bit plush though. thoroughly enjoyed watching you doing your magic over the past year and looking forward to '24 and some new magic. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year to you and yours.

    When I was a small boy (early 1960s) my aunt was a farm worker (ex Women's Land Army in the war) and drove that identical (or very similar) tractor. I can still remember sitting on her lap in that spring-ey metal seat! --Mike
