Old tractors are way better than those new things that break after one season, Old tractors were made to last, were strong and powerfull

[paulytwotanks]

Nice to watch!

[railroadman57]

Great Video !! They keep running good machines !

[michaeljp86]

You should fix that thing up. keep the exhaust covered. It would be ashame to get water in the engine

[PovertyPointCustoms]

Great video do you still use it and are you thinking of restoring it?

[grizzly9871]

@PovertyPointCustoms thanks...she's not in use at the moment....it would be nice to get her restored one day

Wow that started well, is that based on a Fordson Majour?

We had a 1953 David Brown 25d parked in the shed for 25 years, we changed the diesel, put on a battery, and it started surprisingly well to consider the time it has been there and the fact that it had 10,000 hrs on the clock.

[grizzly9871]

@david880brown yeah she's based on a Fordson Major...... it's amazing that some machines will start after being left for a long time,and you can get other machines that are bad starters and don't want to know after being left for a week.

[MrTommymack]

Wow, great video. You should completely repair and respray it. Get it back to it's former glory! :)

[grizzly9871]
