In this episode we walk around and discuss each one of our agricultural tractors. From diesel, petrol, kerosene and crude oil, tracks and tyres, International, Fiat, Renault, Chamberlain, Massey Fergusen and many more. #mechanical #oldtruck #tractor #olddiesel #farmequipment #masseyferguson #renault #international #Fiat

    Ron welcome back to se’s place down under and today I think I’m going to do a tour of all the tractors we got here all the farm tractors Anyway so I’ve still got Co and I was actually it’s it’s Sunday afternoon here we’re just doing a bit of work to the hd14 Alice Charmers here if you can get a good view of that she was we’re going to do a bit of work with it so had a

    Couple of problems so we brought it up it’s the first time it’s been in the workshop actually we generally work on it out of the out of the car so out of the UT got there but I went over and to the house about 3:00 and I started

    Watching YouTube sit there with a cool drink I was watching Pete m is another YouTube here in Australia he’s he’s a lot further north than I am he’s up in cans and I’m down here in Sydney but I was watching him doing a tour of his

    Yard and I thought you know what that’s not a bad idea I might R and sit on the lounge all I think the family’s all got Co too so they’re all just watching iPads and bits and pieces they weren’t paying me any attention so I thought

    I’ll come out here might do a walk around of all the farm tractors so I think there’s about 37 here a couple aren’t mine I won’t say which ones aren’t which ones are but I’ll just I’ll just do a tour and I’ll tell you all the the history and possibly where we got

    Them there’s too many to remember but just going to be a talking and walking episode so we’ll start up this end and we’ll end up down back so to tell you what I can about them more when I say tractors I’ll I’ll include these two as well because well they’re in the area

    I’m in now so there’s also a few bikes I’ve got I’m not a big bike BL but actually um the BL next door when I bought the Oliver in the those HS the other day said there’s a few bikes down there that may interest me and he’s

    Going to talk to his mate about those they only old old japers like these 250s and stuff but I’m interested in any old thing with an engine I’ll gladly give if if they’re cheap enough I’ll gladly get them I got plenty of room here so the first tractor is it’s a

    John Deere 345 now I got this one from my father-in-law I had another John Deere saber I think it was just a smaller thing like a more more of a yard machine this isn’t actually a tractor this is it’s got hydraulic lift and everything so you could get greater

    Blades and all sorts of things under this so that is actually a mini tractor not just a lawnmower twin Yamaha kazaki sorry liquid cooled Radiator in the top that one’s got a m fire actually in the batter’s dead but I had to bypass one of these boards I think went mate M Mick

    Was helping me here once well actually it was before Jeffrey came over old American Iron come to visit me we’re getting the place we’re just doing some Mowing and it just cut out so I found I bypassed something I can’t remember what it was and it went so haven’t had it

    Going since that one there got off me father-in-law too when he moved I don’t know what he was going to do with it but that was his that was his M at his place up the road here it’s only a small small machine Australian made machine Briggs and Straton in it I’ve

    Had it gone it it was it had it hadn’t been started for 10 12 years and it just started like he used it yesterday so I have never cut with it but I think it’s just an exceptional condition machine so that’s probably where it’ll stay too

    I’ve got no plans for it at all we’ll Adventure outside and amongst these canw and whites out here I’ll do a truck tour one day and do a do a uh walk around and talk about those and new tractor here isn’t mine Farm across the road there my

    Mate now looses in 2001 we had big bush fires come through here in Sydney so it started right out in the waterboard Christmas morning we went out up there and have lunch with me actually sorry Christmas morning we went and had breakfast with me Uncle out there and he

    Lived opposite the waterboard then a puff of smoke out in the just a small puff of smoke out in the bush and then um having lunch down at me grandfather’s here and with that been about 4 or 5 hours and next minute it’s come about I

    Don’t know 12 km or something and it was at our back door so it burnt right down and burnt out the place across the road and burnt their main tractors out and uh with the insurance they they bought this one and and he actually give us a hand to

    Build this shed a financial hand not the whole thing but certainly certainly was a great help what he give us and with the idea that we’d keep we’d house it for him so and they don’t use it we we put most of the hours on it because that

    That property is now loosed by that M of mine so it’s a New Holland t5060 really good machine very unstable when using the bucket but you do get to know how to that scared me a few times but you sort of get to learn how to use

    It and what its limits are while we’re going this is my main mower I bought when I moved here it’s now got over 900 hours on it John Deere Z 425 I think I think it is yep paid want to pay 6,000 plus GST about 12 11 years ago it’s been good it

    Does a lot of lot of work so it’s it’s you know it’s starting to use oil and it’s done a lot of bearings and builds but we we cut a lot with it so I couldn’t be more happy with it but to replace this machine now they’ve gone up

    About 3 or 4,000 so and I wouldn’t trade it cuz I’d keep it more for a bash mower than and just use the other new one for the Lawns but it’s been a good thing coming across here this is a faray I’m not going to say Years or or where they built or

    Anything cuz some of them I’m not sure so I’ll just keep them all at that faray here that was given to me when my grandfather died in his will it was the only one he had only inter I think the rest I he gave to me a few others

    Actually and we sold it in the auction and at the time I wasn’t you know as a young Blake you weren’t sure where you were and interest what your interests were and I sold it CU I saw more value in money than than tractors but there

    Three others I sold and I know where one is you won’t sell it back the other one went to Queen uh Western Australia I think it was a two cylinder David Brown like a it’s a funny looking thing but the value of it I should never have sold

    It and there was one other I can’t remember what it was but so this is a farmal a was given to me in his wheel he never I think he bought it anyway he wasn’t Young when he bought it it was it was in the L years it was never part of

    His business or anything it was just something he bought for someone owed him money even I’m not sure but we used to use it as a kid I was learning to drive and we’ play he used to plant a lot of vegetables in his later years and we used it to do the

    Garden it runs beautiful um next one is a farmal h i bought that at an auction I went there with my uncle um I was extremely hung over and kept throwing me hand up and realized at the end of it but I didn’t have any money to pay this was I

    Was I don’t know I’m 39 now was probably 23 or something when I bought it but been drinking all night and then kept putting me hand up then had to ring mom to pay for him I did have money but not on me so anyway I had to come home

    And save her up then pay her back anyway I got I bought two tractors this is one of them it runs great I think it was tight I think it was seed but needed three tires something like that but always wanted one and may have given 1,00 or something for

    It wasn’t much I don’t think for what I wanted anyway next one is a international I think it’s an os6 OS meaning Orchard because it’s narrow now correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that’s it it does run we got it going it was Seas

    When we got it I drove the blue Ken Worth to mudgie actually to get this one with me mate this one actually used me mate shanes drive it to yeah Drive the Kenworth the mudin picked this one up we pushed it on it was seized we got it going and driving

    Around and now it’s seized again for some reason so I don’t know if she done a gasket or got water in it it’s always been in the shed so I don’t know why but since we’ve had it anyway that’s an international os6 uh caterpillar D2 bought this one off the company I

    Work for actually got they got two of them you get some of them Earth moving mobs that they uh collect these old things too and have a bit of a collection at their at their personal places or something and he got a really good one and this one came with

    Us now it was seized Beyond repair so when I say Beyond repair it needed liners it needed precombustion Chambers it needed all sorts of work and more than I was willing to put into it so I pulled it apart um I think I sold the motor here

    Not long I did I sold the whole motor because there was a bloke with a D4 that found me on on you uh on Facebook I think I advertis at Facebook Marketplace and um he wanted the he wanted the pilot meter off it for

    A D4 he was doing so I would I would never put it back together these are as these are like Tupperware containers over here everyone’s got them at shows they’re not as rare as you probably think um so I put a a Holden it’s a 3.3 l or 202 cubic in

    Australian made 6cylinder there out of our holding so that would have been out of a I don’t know a 71 to 75 model I suppose car or or or a ute one toner possibly I will do a if anyone’s wants a video that I’ll do it anyway one day

    I’ll do a startup and how I fitted it in but that is a gasoline or petrol engine driving that what used to be a diesel tractor so that that works good we’ve we’ve actually used it pulled implements with it next one is a lance bulldog belonged to the property across the road

    Sat there for 80 odd years in the one spot I end up freeing it up getting it going I found a company in Melbourne I think it was at the time I think I was about 24 when I got this one going I done all the Rings and uh bearings

    And found a mob that done gaskets and stuff and when I say gaskets the head gaskets only like a a copper ring just just bent bent around a something the same radius on imagine then then solded that that’s all the head gasket really is on it it runs just makes me S thinking

    About starting it you take the steering wheel out you uncp the steering wheel there then you shove her in the side there and rock her back and forth and there’s a bit more to it than that but basically that’s how you start it so it’s a real

    Bastard of a thing it’s in its right spot I reckon I don’t know if you bought this trying to replace your horse I think you’d end up putting this this back in the stable and getting the horse back out I would have thought but maybe years ago on soft ground they might have

    Been nice but I can’t imagine starting that each morning going to work next one is and I do like it don’t get me wrong I’m not knocking it but geez what a bass of thing to drive I’ll do a start up on it one day but I’ve never I’ve never

    Felt fit enough to actually do it we pushed it in the shed I think it’s one of the only ones we did push in the shed the rest drive that’s the next one is a David Brown 53c petrol or gasoline uh this one came from a

    Bloke Here Local BL here in town that I did some work for he didn’t pay me I fixed a he had a T20 that he slashed his I know he had a small acreage probably 5 Acres or something he had a T20 which is a Massie Ferguson petrol gray Ferguson

    Tractor wanted some work done and he said well you can have the David Brown so got a tilt trading out and get it and dropped it off and I was 21 when I got this one and it was seized beyond belief too and and I pulled the head off it with

    The copper head gasket and everything I didn’t even buy any parts I just I just freed her all up and got the rust out and uh heated the gasket back up cleaned it up and just just wav the oxy or torch or something over it clean it up and

    Swell it back up and then boled the head down and it it runs like a dream the only thing I never liked about apart from these TI but that never affected what I did with it but compared to any other tractor the the 3point linkage is the wrong way so when you’re

    Grading with it I’ve had grader blades and that on it over the years and and um you you’ve got to get used to it so forward is if you’re sitting in the suit and push that Lou forward it actually comes the back of it comes up with a

    Normal Massy Ferguson or something it’ll go down and and and when you when you’re trying to trim or just even slash with it you push it the wrong way and you just want that that feel for it it’s it’s very frustrating plus it’s got a fairly

    Vicious leak out of one of the lift arms at the back too which is which would be easy to fix it’s easy to drive and use it’s easy to steer it’s easier the clutch is nice the gears are nice it runs like a clock I haven’t had it gone for

    Years probably another episode there I can’t tell you too much more about that I still see the bloke down the kids he’s got his grandkids up there my kids play soccer so that’s it David Brown 53c this is an Oliver 80 this one came from a local property

    As well now we saw it I don’t know my mate saw it somewhere whether it was in the the days we used to read Just Trucks or you know used to put out magazines with this in it or I think those days are gone but whether it

    Was online or anyway we bought it took the I even know how we loaded it took the Kenworth up again I think pushed it on so this one does run but not well it’s got a couple of broken head studs so I reckon it’s popping between cylinders

    But had a Magneto on it I actually put them front tires on it too those are those are off a holding and if you if you look closely they wedge in like a spider they’ve got wedges like a like a you know like a spider wheel on a truck

    So I cut the center out of these holding rims and they slid on the center was the same I may have I may have spun the Hub and just linished it down or the wheel or run a flaer wheel around the inside of the rim but they slid on quite nicely and

    Uh and just wedged them on there with the with and they fitted perfect cuz the front wheels are rusted right out next thing I did with it had a Magneto on it and those of you who play with these old things know that Magneto uh very expensive to do up if you send

    Them away or you might be lucky enough well we can all work on them ourself but getting parts for them is another thing too I can rebuild one fairly easily but the parts that were broken in this particular one and at the time when I

    Did this it wasn’t it was years ago so parts weren’t readily available like you just sit on your Lounge now and order on eBay and they turn up it wasn’t sort of like wasn’t that easy when we had this one so I had a couple old three 51 is a

    32 and a 351 Cleveland here and I pulled the distributor out of one of them so that’s a V8 distributor on a 4-cylinder tractor now some of you may be able to work that out but it does run that works fine and the reason it’s doesn’t run properly

    Is I reckon cuz of those broken head studs but so you couldn’t do this with a six-cylinder or anything else like that it’s got to be it’s got to be evenly space so if you just pick every second one up that rotor buttton still going around and in time

    So it’s running a wasted spark out of each one of those open ports here but they’re not grounding out anywhere so I just made the drive up here I didn’t even have a lathe at the time just using rulers and bits and pieces made that drive up and it runs

    Quite well just got a coil there there’s no charging system on it cuz we never use it just sit a 12volt battery down there on that on that and just hook the coil up and only thing it hasn’t got a bance resistor coil gets quite hot but

    It did drive into there like I’ll start that up one day and ignition’s pretty simple stuff if you know how to how to get around it so that is a V8 distributor you see the empty ports on a on a four- cylinder so that does work if

    If you ever stuck these are some of the things i’ i’ I think I’ve done an episode before didn’t do real well on on ways I’ve kept machines going like that D2 it was probably going on a scrap if I didn’t put that engine in it so just another way I’ve kept something

    Going Cleveland Ford Cleveland distributor uh what’s this one a wd Alice Charmers it’s mate Josh’s trying to think where this one come from I think he I think a few of these tractors come from down south there somewhere the there was a big online auction or we may have bought a

    Few one night when we pissed and then we had to go get him but anyway he I’m sure he went and got this one and Massie Harris I think come from there too so this one runs we end up getting it going I don’t know that it was seized I

    Don’t remember what we did to this one but it’ll it’s a it’s a prick to start but if you if you tellw it it’ll go real nice and easy but been many years been parked there for a long time probably end up up at this place there he’s build a new house probably

    Take her up there and show her off in his garden or his shed or something tire off the fal H I bought I don’t know why it’s there why it’s what was even wrong with that I don’t know so f it 513 um I bought this one the morning I

    Was hung over and bought that farmal H I bought this one now the reason I bought this because it was my grandfather’s and it was sold at that auction after he died um and I knew it was his because there’s a few features on it that just

    As a kid you get to know these things and there’s a few features on it that that made it stand out and there’s not many of these around that that you do see so this was part of their business many many years ago they had a they had

    A sawmill business and they they used to supply the mines out around here with pit props which hold the roofs up in the underground mines saw doing sa and Timber and stuff like that and they used to use this before they got the dozes I think this

    Is one of their first sneaking tractors where they’d use it I could be wrong but I’m led to believe it that’s what they did with it and they’d fall the trees in the bush and this would sneak them out to the road where they’d laid them on the

    Trucks or the the Ford or the Chev blitzers and then they take it take it out of the Bush further and load it onto the kenor or the TR stars or whatever they had there AOS and so this used to work in the bush it’s what the bumper

    Bars for they used to she used to run into trees you see a lot of the kingpins in that world and on her because of the hard life she’s had it’s exactly how it’ll stay I just like the look of it I like it’s a bit of

    A it’s it’s a terrible thing to drive it’s hard to steer it’s it’s got a noisy bearing in the final drive of the transmission but the motor just runs like it like it was built yesterday 24v system on this one two batteries to start it you know I I

    It’s I don’t even know what I paid for it I might have paid 600 or 700 fuit or something I don’t even think I spent two grand on the day but the time you probably was time you pay the the buy premium and that at those auctions um

    That’s that one of fat I think it’s the only f it I’ve got I’ll do a start up of there one day that when you start it you could roll it to that I don’t know roll it us to that line of grass there and it’ll go it’ll

    It’ll start beautiful the reason the air cleaner is undone I walk past the other non notice water dripping out of it and it must be getting in through that that that bolt on top because I’m just letting it drip out there I’ll have to cover that up and you may think

    That you know a bloke’s lazy or something for letting that happen but there’s that much stuff here you know you lose you lose where you’re up with it all so that’s a fat 513 actually today we’re doing a bit of work to Alice Charmers

    Hd14 I didn’t do a video on that I was just doing some sometimes you just want to work and not show it it’s got the 671 Detroit in it had to adjust the hand clutch um a few other jobs on it too next tractor is this would have been

    A farm tractor in its first life this is a Chamberlain 6G crane a lot of you that have been following me would have seen the will it start where it sat for 40 plus years the retrieval the startup and then the other epodes that haven’t yet aired on it

    So probably a bit of a spoiler alert if this episode comes out first to see what I’m up to with it um this one was part of a circus it used to travel around the Australia here so there’s a local circus here where I was that and they’d go all around

    Australia with these machines so they’ tow they tow trailers with it and when they get there they’d unload all the circus equipment like tents and everything with it so and they the reason they chose chamberlains here in Australia cuz they do about 45 mph they

    Got a good road gear you fit two people on them if you want to know more about this tractor go back and watch those epes and then once the circus collapsed I think they just parked her up and it sat there for 40 years or something and

    I dragged it out and end up getting it going or it was going in the scrap bin the next day if I didn’t do that so this contraption on the back was for driving in the tent pegs if you’re interested in that one there’s a couple episodes before this

    And there’s probably going to be a couple after it there I know W when I say probably there is but whether it’s after or before depends on our air all this stuff the next one is this is a Mana 2 it’s not a farm tractor but I’m

    Here um it’s made by this mob here it’s based off a New Holland or a Ford tractor but obviously reversed so I I don’t know why the forks are up that’s where Dad parked it I saw this online because a made of mine had a bigger one now the reason we

    Got hold of it was because there’s not a lot of information about these and I saw the black advertising it and I got on to him to see if he had a service manual or a book on it and he did and and you know anyway we got that information off him

    And long story short we end up thinking about it and how cheap it would be I think know I don’t even remember it might have been two grand or something but they had it pulled apart it’s got a three cylinder Ford diesel in they had it pulled

    Apart because it done I think they run it out of oil or something but anyway that he was quoted 7,000 or something to put this engine together and it was on a pallet and he was just advertising the machine with no engine and I went down to look at it and

    Uh I said where’s the engine he said it’s here but there’s a bloke wanting to put it in a boat [Applause] like some sort of Cruiser or something that that needed a for diesel in and had a four Diesel and something happen he wanted parts off this one I said well

    I’ll I could see what was wrong with it I wasn’t saying too much and um he said the cranks all had it and what for what I could see it was just bare material stuck to the crank it wasn’t wasn’t cut into it or anything so

    I said well I’ll take the machine if I can have the engine anyway we we did the deal and I brought it back and made him mine up the road he he put it in his lathe and before I had one and and he and he just linished it back down to

    Standard so I didn’t even there’s no oversiz or under size or nothing and I think I got a set of rings bearings and gaskets for probably 300 bucks off eBay and I put it all back together and this poor bastard was quoted 7 Grand

    Then he that was too much so he went and paid 70 for a brand new Fork so I don’t know anyway it’s here it’s a great machine um it kept stopping when we’re bringing the tractors out the next door but I found a fuel blockage and we sorted that

    Out yesterday so the next one is Sami centuro so this belongs to that property over there this was bought directly after the fires so they had a tractor to keep plowing after the shed was burnt down over there so the New Holland come later after all the insurances and

    Everything uh went through so Sami Cent Toro there’s a will it start on this and then there’s a episode where I do a lot of engine work to it plus make the blade uh the blade tilt so V4 air cooled 4wheel drive low center of gravity very powerful machine for its

    Size under slung Blade the motor’s completely rooted in it but still it still works still produces enough power to spin the tires you dig and she still spins up oops of power like for for a tractor of its size it’s just and you feel safe

    On it low center of gravity as I said everything’s low on it the motor brewes heavy uses lots of oil but until it’s mine which one day I’ll end up with it I’ll buy it or whatever the case is going to be I’ll slide them barrels off

    And have a look at it but until then it it still runs fine the episode I did recently on it I put that tilt cylinder on it I done all that myself just out of stuff laying around here so it used to be manual tilt but never

    Used you you’d get out and un loosen those nuts and there was a wedge that grabbed it and there’s a center pin so it tilts but for those bles you know much about tractors and blades and you know a tractor like this where the blades rigid um depends on where the

    Where the back wheel goes is where the corner of the blade goes so now you can actually control it control the angle of that blade and it’s not up to the Tractor to do it for you so got a I think this valve was $75 off

    EBay um I think that’s all it costs the rest of bloody air brake lines and reusables off of bloody wrecked Kenworth I got down the back plus some of the hoses I replaced on the blue one when I put put crimp lines on it so these are rated more than the

    Tractor puts out that’s fine there um I think that’s all it costs I just done it with all stuff I had laying around here it’s been very very good I’ve done that after the fire so we can clean up after where the fires come through dad’s done

    A lot of work here with it just letting it grass back up now so the pole she swept up up there um come they bought it from a local bloke actually and and the bloke that it was actual the local Postman actually come from and then then I got a

    Comment not long ago about the same tractor that it was brand new out out the out the bush somewhere I forget where it was now forgive me mate if you’re watching this but he did tell me that this exact tractor come from come from out there so wherever that was

    It wasn’t wasn’t near here so how she ended up back here I don’t know but looks like she was sold in kangaroo Valley and then went out there then now it’s back here so we’ll go for a walk down amongst all that other stuff I’ll start down the bottom work me

    Way up this might be a long episode there’s this group here and then there’s another group down the back of farm equipment actually there’s two groups all that stuff I got out the next door haven’t been brought up either anyway for those tractor BLS you’d be more than interested I’d

    Imagine and please add in your comments any information about these that you might know that I don’t I certainly don’t know everything I’m only a younger BL um I have grown up around this stuff but never been a farmer never just I just got interest in this equipment for

    It’s for what it does and I just love farm tractors so especially old new ones couldn’t care less about um so any any any any you bles want to add anything to any of this or see any of these that you know or want to educate me on any of it

    Please I’m all these and if anyone in the local area or has got any cheap for sale that they don’t want scrapped might want to donate one like this plug did that was just fantastic that’s another episode coming up a subscriber gave that to me I me and my

    Wife took my blue Kenworth down and picked that up spent about 6 hours in the truck all up or 6 half hours on the log book or something but wasn’t that far away but just pull pulled over by the RMS and everything so it was a pretty big day

    But a wonderful subscriber gave that to me um and I was I I couldn’t be more appreciative of but that’s another story so the next one I just like saving all this stuff and I’ve got all the steel to build a roof over these um there’s a ADM going to help us

    He’s coming back off holiday soon so I think once we get that stuff out of the shed up there the Chamberlain and the Alice Charmers or probably probably start on this cuz we’ve got everything here next one is an Oliver 1800 I bought it off the black next door

    Um I don’t know a lot about it where he got it he did tell me I think I okay I’m not even going to make it cuz he watches I’m not going to pretend I know but he did tell me where he got it

    He went went to a wers to get some other parts and saw this and so 1,800 for you Oliver BLS should have a correct me if I’m wrong should have a w kisher in it um you can see it’s had a 6354 fitted to it now they did the 1850s had the 63

    54s meaning a Perkins 354 cubic in Perkins this one’s out of a truck so silver they had silver yellow and pink the Perkins come out in um this one’s out of a truck you can tell the from the manifold and as my dad pointed out he drove in acos and that on

    Timber he said and they had the had a exhaust butterfly brake engine brake on them and he said that used to crack the manifolds he said that’s that’s a giveaway it was a truck engine plus where the manifold runs most industrial engines have the upsweep manifolds

    Um and you can see where the originally the air cleaner and and exhaust stack used to come out through the Bonnet now she’s got that one on the side of her but that that’ be if that’s out of a truck that’s rated at 120 H pa

    Um and in a low gear ey machine like this that’s I don’t know she’s she’s going to have a fair go I’ve got better ties for it um you can see the aftermarket air cleaner on the side of it too but I I just thrive on like

    That which is she’s in fair Fairly fairly good condition I drove it back here after we got all the water and everything out of it only only over there I drve at home this one it was an it was a actually got five things off this Blake three

    Tractors and two old trucks which are which are junk basically but I’ll do an episode on them so don’t know a lot more about it he used to use it but as he said registers his farm and everything hasn’t got a rops canopy on it you meant

    To have that um plus he bought a new new machine new John Deere tractor which are fairly cheap over here John Deere I don’t know if the Indian made one but what he’s doing and what I’d ever do with it it’s you wouldn’t hurt an Indian tractor anyway

    So um that’s all I know about it it does run nice we didn’t start it off the battery cuz the starter was going really slow on it now it’s got small leads plus it’s got those got those freaking terminals where you can isolate them with that plastic ring and I can’t

    Stand those things you don’t get any amps through those at all just absolute junk so that’s the Oliver 1800 there’ll be more coming on her episode to follow with it next one is a zuto made in Czech and Slovakia 5911 11 um I’ve got a 49 a

    59 and the 69 I’ll do a store on it in a minute so this one here I bought for $500 um for those of you who know the recent floods when I say recent probably 18 months ago prob probably 2 years ago I don’t know it was we had we had three

    Major floods here in about 18 months or something and one of them got this um this went right under under water so there’s an episode for the those of you interested in these cakan machines that where I got it going so I had to free the the engine up at the

    Free the injector pump up it was a big episode it was huge it was well when I say huge episode it was the just the job itself but I reckon there’s th000 bucks worth of tires probably more on a good sear tires brand new back one this side the other side’s you know

    Fine um now it starts and drives perfectly I I haven’t got a use for it but I will I like I like I’d like a Implement for it that I could I could I don’t have many implements I’d like an Implement for it where I could actually just get her out

    And do a bit with it to just just keep it going just now that it’s had has it had water in it it’s good to keep them going cuz they do sweat inside when you’re using them if it’s still a bit lay about in there and they and they rust

    Again 5911 next one’s a 6911 it come from that property over there now this one was the only one we saved out of that shed when it was burning my Dad ran in with a chain and we had an old Holden Ute there at the

    Time which was just a farm Ute and I was driving it I was 16 or something I think I was yeah anyway I was driving the and this is the only track that we Sav so we ran in and pulled it out tied it around the back of

    It or the front whichever way was in the shed and we pulled it out and saved it the history of this one I don’t know but Jesus got some some power it’s it’s a very powerful machine for its size and very crisp like the engine runs just beautiful and it’s good to use

    Like there’s a lot of sticks and things you got to have one in neutral and one in gear and but once you learn all that it’s it’s quite a pleasant machine to use um she got hot enough to melt the pre- cleaner on it you can see that’s what that is that’s the

    Plastic off the original Donis PR cleaner that was on it um I don’t think it got hurt anything else it wrecks some beautiful tractors at fire but anyway we saved this one and she’s a very powerful machine it’s got my six footer on it and and to be

    Honest I’d rather use it than the 165 that I paid 5 grand or something for I’d rather drive the Zer it’s just it’s easier it’s more comfortable but the one 65 which we’ll get to next needs a bit of work and it’ll be just as good so the

    Next one is a 165 Matthew Ferguson I bought off my family originally was my grandfather’s I used to use it I used to grow turnips um I’m sure they used to use it to plow it all up and anyway it was me grandfather’s and when we Auntie and

    Uncle bought the place they bought the tractor to and had it for 98 I don’t know 25 years or something then then I bought it when they moved so still in the family still mine I don’t use it I I used it to drag those tractors through

    The fence toe start the Oliver but I want to do some work to it it’s hard to steer it’s the the remotes aren’t working real well and it’s a multi power thing when you when you when you’re slashing with it it locks in gear if you

    If you’re back up and the slasher hits a tree or something you can’t get it back out of gear it’s a bit of a bastard of things something’s wrong with it anyway I haven’t looked at it yet next one I think I’ll I’ll hit this one here this is a

    MF we get closer it’s a Massie Ferguson but it’s not a it’s not a British made one like the good ones are made in France um still got a Perkins in it but nothing else resembles a Massy Ferg except for that unique suit they’ve got nothing

    Else does so about a it’s it’s a 20 but they’re about a 35 size basically if not a bit Tad bigger so bought this one off me cousin he he wanted a tractor and I knew a blet work and had one for sale and took him there and he end up buying

    It but just to slash his padic he’s got some acreage and then and I think he saw a zero steer ride on for I don’t know whatever he paid for it and then lost interest in the tra to so next Port of Call was Steve

    Cuz he knows I wouldn’t say no and then next minute I took the all 4,000 up with the float and we we pushed her on and and uh brought it back down here and actually drove it into the shete it was in the main shed up there and I got it

    Going and brought it down here it’s all it’s all there it was a going tractor just he’s a very uh he’s a perfectionist my cousin and he he would have he was going to do her up real nice and he did he’s done some beautiful wiring

    And the work he’s done to is just fantastic so got boxes of parts for it um I’ll end up putting it back together he’s done a great job on on everything he’s done to it so far so that that’s a good tractor beautiful tires problem

    With is these parts are hard to get not for the Perkins but the rest of it very hard to get um I’ve got another one that’s the reason I know I haven’t looked for anything for this but and they’re rare too but I happen to have two of them

    I’ll show the other one in a minute that’s that one sure they made from France or Spain France I think this one here is a b 250 I may have said 414 in some episodes but it’s a 250 so bought this off and made of mine no I didn’t tell a lie

    Those of you who seen the the video I did the Joey box in the AR 160 180 I put a joey box in an old in 160 I think that’s how I work with mates I’d rather do a job and then swap it so he swapped me this all International tractor and it

    Had this slasher on it which is what I wanted 4T slasher so uh he bought it off another bloke we know um and it does run but the problem is I think what’s wrong with it after speaking to an injector pump bloke here it only runs on three

    Cylinders but it’s still shooting diesel at the fourth pipe um which means it’s a four-cylinder which in what happens with these he reckons they were known for wearing lobes off the off the cam shaft in the bottom of the it’s an inline injector pump on these ones um if they wear the

    Lob out it puts it out of time so it’ll run nice and when you tighten the injector line up on the fourth one cuz it’s still squirting it Just Smokes out the exhaust pipe badly so what that means it’s it’s it’s either injecting after top dead or something like that

    And it’s all directly on top dead or something where and it’s not it’s not igniting and it’s just basically blowing it back out the exhaust and I’d say the manifolds heating it up that’s where the Smoke’s coming from cuz it doesn’t take the mess out of it it just

    Smokes but it’s a beautiful little tractor now I’d like to to to get an injector pump done up here you you’re basically forking out 1,500 bucks just just after you pull the thing off there so I don’t know I’d like it I’d like it it does drive but just sounds I’d

    Like it I’d like to be able to fix it I’d rather buy an old wreck and get the pump off it or someone may know someone who’s got an inline pump for one of these I’d be more than interested but for that sort of money I’d rather let it sit there it’s

    Still in the collection regardless H next one Fords an e27n I don’t know where this one come from it may have come with a with the the uh what one was up there the Alice Charmers WD and the Massie Harris I’ve got this is Josh’s too

    Um don’t know the history of it it’s it’s a good tractor it’s hard to start but if you tellw it it starts fine so but they’re useless I reckon we’ve had it in a track to pull and they haven’t got low gears they only got like a three

    Speed or something or four speed or whatever they are but they haven’t got low and high like a Massie Ferguson or your typical tractor so we took it to a tractor pull and it barely took the slack out of the chain and and not not just speaking of this one there’s

    Another one there too a different spec one but they’re just they’re just hopeless that one there with the blade push is all right but this I just I don’t know for a farming tractor I thought it would done a lot better than that maybe but what they were used for they might

    Have been great next one here it’s a funny looking one the bonnets the bonnets over there off it you can see down there is the Bonnet off it now this is a Chamberlain 9 9g it’s a it’s a reverse one though I think they called an R 1250 or something

    Like that they reverse so they made them um front in loaders they make cranes basically a reverse 9g tractors got the the 270 4 270 Perkins in it the reason the bonnet’s off it cuz it done a radiator and the original radiator had a hole you can see down there there’s a

    Drive shaft off the harmonic balancer gone through to a hydraulic pump original one had a had the tank cut and solded and was a lot lower but this one rather than do that he’s just left the Bonnet off and which is which is a good call because radiator mobs around here

    Charge like a wounded bull um So eventually I’ll either lift the Bonnet up or or uh find a smaller radiator but you spent good money on that and it’s and it does cool it nicely so we probably leave it at that a bit of a history behind this I won’t tell you

    Exactly how it happened cuz I wasn’t around at the time but I I will include a photo in this um it’s been in the family A long long time part of that t Timber business I was telling you about with the F it there’s a photo of it unloading

    A oh was an F F800 or f8000 or something old single drive Ford truck with a jinker on it unloading logs um and had a beach umbrella on at the time and and some of the workers he had working for him me grandfather and uncle had all this cab and everything

    Built on it um the fuel tank the the the cab was built on there it was all changed it was changed to hydraulic steering changed from manual brakes to couple of 303s which it service an emergency service and park if you wish air tank there because they used to

    Drive it again they had a good high travel gear these chamberlains like I said about the 6G where they drive around with the circus so they could drive this between Mills or wherever they went the bush Mills had a good road speed um that’s why they done

    That and now it’s still in the family went from me grandfather to me Uncle to me auntie and now Mom got it so so it’s in our collection it just it just reminds of all I can still see me grandfather driving it around with his hat on just picking everything up

    And it’s ugly without that Bon it’s ugly with it to be honest but anyway it’s it’s part of our history uh next one this going to be a long episode next one is a 554 I think this one is International anyway this one come we went to a truck

    Shows I made them mine made a mine got it J him made him mine um and I went to a truck show many years ago and I had a 3070 yo at the time I wasn’t driving it but it was my truck and and it had a it was a rigid

    Truck with just a just a train on it and um it was a long wheelbase one had the 903 in it with the 15-speed and we called in on the way back just a bit of a bit of a VI this place to to pick this up on the way back from the

    Truck show so anyway sat here and sat here and sat here he said you you can have that course you picked it up so here it sits does run but it’s blown a glow plug out so it’s got a bolt jammed in the hole but it runs fine he’s got all the tin

    Work there there’s the blade pulling off and throwing in the scrap bin which I’d like to do it’ll make it look a lot better next one FAL H that’s Josh’s as well runs fine don’t know the history of it it was under some Blake’s house for many many years and he got it

    And I don’t know where he got it Marketplace or something anyway he he he he was basically given to him what he paid for it and I was I was very jealous of him it was very very cheap um real standard looking thing there’s no additional stuff on it no star tomato No

    But it just very tidy he drove this to my wedding down the back um we didn’t do anything to it just put Petrol in it make sure it was getting to the carburetor and and we towed it with the with the chambering there that’s one I drove to my wedding

    Um cousin Shane was sitting on it me mate Shane was sitting up on this one and just had the throttle open we’re driving around we made sure it had oil in it and had just having a beer reach and basically talking to each other he was sitting on this I was sitting on

    That talking to him out the back window and anyway she just started going and going and cleared herself up so we didn’t do nothing to the magn never even had the back off it we just thought we’d try cu the wedding was the next day and otherwise we would have just started

    Something else up for him but basically it run like a clock and when when I got it going to bring it back up a couple of days after the wedding I just I rolled it from the length of the tractor there and and it went itself and I drove it back up here

    So that’ll end up back up at his place well it’s now hasn’t been there yet it comes straight here that’ll go to his place on imagine and sit in his shed or his garden up there and S an admirer uh next one Chamberlin c670 this came

    From the same place the 5911 Zer did went under the floods too 6 cylinder Perkins in it 306 Cube uh don’t know a lot about the history of it they parked it up cuz it was locked in gear but you know I think I gave him $1,000 for it or

    Something but it’s in exceptional condition I think it’s got a bit of a bearing noise in it cuz it all went under water right so the final drives the rear end the main transmission the engine engine was stuck starter motor was rotted out cuz it was full of water

    But anyway I got her all going and and uh there is videos of us picking these up if anyone’s interested looks like the birds are founder I dve this to my wedding it looked looked a bit better then but there is a there is a video on this one

    Not there’s not a lot of there’s not a video on every one of these tractors so if you see any that you want to see more of those plates are off there cuz they full of water I had to free that one wheel up

    But there is a video of me doing that to this tractor Chamberlain c670 Australian made next one’s A Renault yes A Renault a ryal or however you want to say it could be different in other countries uh sure this was bought if wasn’t brand new it was close to it by a

    Ma of hours actually if you want to go back and want there’s a video of us picking it up we got this a 46 jail bar Ford and all those side valve V8s took a m of mine’s truck and we we picked them up there’s a video of us getting it

    Going and his his father actually got it I don’t know if it was new but it was close to it and that that’s how long it was in that family and and those bles are getting old and he was moving so we we we went and got it was originally

    From this area it went to mji now it’s back in this area so runs like a clock not a real nice thing to use but that’s a I think is a collector’s item certainly certainly valuable in my collection um side valve engine I don’t know if I suppose it’s a Renault

    Engine side valve um four cylinder so not not a lot I can say I don’t know a lot about them I actually got the original Factory books and everything with it so certainly a collector’s item I think they weren’t very popular in Australia now they came out the same

    Time as the gray Fergusons did um but these were something like it was something ridiculous he said they might have been in in today’s like back then money $50 or something he he was talking quid at the time but it was probably 5050 bucks more for this one than the

    Than the gray Ferg in they never sold so that’s why the Fergusons were more popular and these didn’t go anywhere there was very little money but at the time no one probably had money so that’s why they never sold that’s why you don’t see too many of them Hotel excavator here’s the

    Other this is a 30 this one but it’s the same same make as that other one yeah you can see there Massie Ferguson made in France by Massie Ferguson Paris the other one was the same apart from the seat Perkins there’s not a lot more of the same as a Fergie transmission’s completely

    Different front end they got a shazzy which Fergusons don’t do they use the they use the cast sump on the Perkins maybe the same room there but I’m not sure that one there um many many years ago Blake dropped it off to have some work done to it you never

    Come back and got it and uh me and the uncle did the work to it and still spoke with the BL you say I’ll get it one day and anyway we end up buying it off him and and then later is I bought it off me

    Uncle so it’s now mine I use it to rake all the driveway and it’s it’s a really easy tractor to use so I use it to r on me driveway and stuff like that I don’t want to work it too hard cuz as I said with the other one they’re hard to get

    Parts for someone’s been opening gates with it by the look of it but you know things like that don’t bother me if it happened before I had it it doesn’t doesn’t worry me too much I did miss one over here so we’ll go back through

    It got a bit carried away this one’s a 35 Massie Ferguson three cylinder Perkins it’s the best one they made I made I made four cylinder with petrol and a 4-cylinder standard diesel those standard diesels were okay but they were hard to start and they leaked like a

    Um we had one across the road there actually and it was saved it was sold not long after this one here was our familyes on the other side not not where the the chamberings and stuff come from it was on the other side excuse me I’ll just put the seat away here before

    She goes goes off um this was on my dad’s side this one the other was on my mom’s side but this one was I don’t know when they bought it it was a it was their main tractor up there they had 80 acres up the radiar it actually started itself up one

    Night it was only me grandmother there at the time she was in bed and the stopper was out just like it is now she was in gear the battery still connected and she wound however it did it it wound itself into the shed hit the shed wall but the St kept

    Turning and of course electric things get hot when they drop bols and they work hard and and she caught a light you can see with all the Bonnet and everything I done a lot of work to it I painted it and I was I was still at school then I wasn’t even

    21 like the rest of the tractors this is the first one I had we bought it off the family and uh my dad did and and uh I painted it all and and I didn’t fix any leaks though what I just painted it I cleaned it all it was all nice and

    Everything but she she’s since leaked and that diesel you can see stained it all but and I never got to fix in the Bonnet because at the time I didn’t have any penel beaten skills and they’re still very little now the ones I do have so anyway it’s a good little tractor

    It’s it’s easy to use it’s there’s a video coming up of me doing the clutch I actually split it in half and and the thing is without having a shed here even though it’s in a bell housing even though it’s all sealed up it it’s still rusted that clutch the

    Bits just like any of you seen the one on the 165 it done exactly the same thing I think think it’s just condensation gets in there and they sweat and that that bare metal as you know clutches are all bare metal they’re not painted they’re the friction area is

    Always polished it’s always bare and and that they’ll rust straight up so I done the clutch in it um it’s not properly adjusted you got to be you got to be fairly on to it to adjust these two stage clutches properly now it works fine but it’s just I’m a bit of

    Perfectionist when it comes to adjusting things it’s not exactly how I’d like it but we’ve used it hoops and it’s you know more than enough next one is a fors and e27n went to a big auction out at gil gandra once and I kept throwing me hand up cuz I

    Like the look of this thing now there’s many other tractors I think might to give a few hundred for it but then it cost us H money to get home that’s before I had any trucks or anything and before any of that so runs fine um fairly unique with that

    Underslung blade and those steel wheels bit of a bastard to start but anyway it’s it’s a it’s a good thing to have cost us a bit of money actually and getting the Magneto done up too that was fairly expensive anyway it’s hard to use hard to steer

    Hard to drive it pushes it pushes good but for something for thing something that doesn’t pull real well it pushes good which is strange it’s just something to sit there really needs to be in a shed the the last one in this group is a Massie Ferguson 35

    Industrial so the same as the red one I just showed is a caught a light this is on my mom’s side again so this is me grandfather’s on that side um three cylinder Perkins basically the same back end different front axle um different tin work heavy shroud on the front so these

    Were built for backos front end loaders um this originally did have a front end loader on it was all pulled off to use is a tractor and never put back on I think I put it back on when I was at school and there was no valves or anything we’ll

    Just using an up and down valve we made me we mate it did work but that’s uh it come back off for whatever reason so I don’t even know where all that went bought it off me Uncle when he was selling he was downsizing just before I bought the 165

    I bought that I always had a soft spot for this one when I was a kid used to have bigger Wheels on it off of David Brown but these smaller ones are put back on course I used to use this to pull something through the that an auto clave or some bloody

    Thing for treating Timber or it used to pull the pull the logs through it or whatever they did but had bigger tires for traction on it and now these the original ones off it they’re back on it it’s always had that postle Digger on it since I know I had a

    Slasher on it many years ago just stuffing around and then put that back on but I think the clutch is gone and then it does drive but it’s hard to get into gear and the p you nearly got to stand on the L you got to shut it right

    Down basically to zero revs click it in then try and catch the throttle or start it in gear or um and the power steering’s not working me Uncle did spend a lot of money on the front cylinders so it’s not those I don’t know if it’s the pump or the actuator in the

    Actual steering box itself it really needs and I I lost had one sold it for scrap and another one where I got the Zer I’m going to shade down the back there was another one too and I didn’t save it and I could have taken the front axle out

    And the steering box and just made another another one of those 35s out of it and you couldn’t ask for a bit attractive but I missed all that anyway something might come up that’s that one runs beautiful it’s got the hot dog muffler on it um you can see the heavy front wheels

    On it to the the Press steel ones on the on the other Fergy we’ll go down the back and look at the rest I’m going to stay on the golf car for this one cuz the rain’s coming down fairly decent um next one’s an international a554 bought off the Blake next door he

    Was it was something he was using but the power takeoff clutch in the back they got like a wet clutch pack in them and it started slipping he said it was driving fine and then you’d hit hit a patch of long grass and it just slipped

    And they are designed for that to a certain extent but not not how easy it was doing it and he bought it he was telling me because the engine was redone but he said he was told to a bit of a the truth had been stretched a fair bit he believes because

    He said it starts fine if you give it half a 10 of Era start so um he said the head offering he said the balls are like mirrors so anyway I don’t know I bought two others and he gave it to me so she’s more than welcome

    Here I might do something with it one day it’s about two grand for for a kit but I don’t know if I’d go to that I’d probably just run the H through it and a set of rings and wouldn’t even change the bearings I’d never work it I’d just

    Just something to to run but she might run good enough just to to uh poke it about here and have in the collection I’ve got all the all the PDO and that’s out of it in boxes in the shed so we just dragged it through that

    Gate there and that’s where she still is it’ll we’ll have to put her in the lineup but it’s got a 30in tire on the back that needs a tube so one pumps up one doesn’t we brought it through with a forklift but you see that episode coming next one’s an

    A514 just move back here she’s raining a bit uh complete with the John Deere rear wheels and rear mud guards um or fenders however you want to say was a good goer um but the clutch wouldn’t release now he thinks the grub screws may have come out of the shaft

    That connect the fork or something something like that so it was running fine but we went to do a startup on it um when we brought it through and it’s it’s it’s seized it’s locked tight so we didn’t I mean when I say that we didn’t

    Didn’t try too hard to free it up either cuz the day was getting on so we just we just to it through here with the with the r65 back up there so it’s it’s good to have in the collection I’ve actually got another one of these down the back

    Now it’s a 5 6 5 64 or something but I can get the guards and wheels off it cuz the one I’m going to show you next will never go again no well it may I don’t know depends on if I go full-time YouTube and there’d be some great

    Content if I ever did that because I’d spend a lot more time on each one but anyway you can see me crowbar there I was looking for earlier still holding the blade up but that’s another one to the [Applause] collection um Austin truck there which

    Came with it he threw that in and a j3 Bedford please if anyone wants those Austin and Bedford trucks they’ll probably see the scrap bin so if anyone wants them please tell me next one here is a Massy Harris 44k I think yeah it’s a 44k um got this one that night we pissed on eBay I used

    To have a pretty pretty decent man cave or bar set up or however bles calling in the old garage before I moved up here that’s how long we’ve had it so probably 23 or something 24 and we got these ones Josh actually took me Kenworth the blue Kenworth to get this

    One um it was C’s so this came from the same place as he z27n and the WD Alice it was seized up um valves are all completely rooted um I’ve done a lot of engine work and when I say a lot lot of engine work I didn’t spend I didn’t replace any parts I just done a lot of cleaning a lot of I had the head right

    Off it I sent it away to a BL and he wasn’t interested so I went and picked it back up and and um I actually bought a valve grinding seat cutting tool off eBay I think it come from India and it was only 3 days or something I couldn’t believe

    It and it was it was dropped off and I didn’t even know it was coming from India I just saw the price of it and bought it and then uh it said that where it come from and it was here in 3 or 4 days I couldn’t believe it so actually

    Just cut the seats and lap the valves and when I say lap the valves I put some heavy paste on them and clamp the clamp the drill on the top side of the valve and just held some weight down on the on you know pull them back on the drill basically and

    Ground them in and and give us some compression and then she she she work so um I think I’ve done a bit of carb I’ve got a Carby kit still for it and the Carby was full of water so it’s fairly pitted but the Venter is what worries me

    In it it’s pitted bad but it was part of my wedding wasn’t wasn’t driven in the wedding party but it was part of the alcohol display now um I was driving it back from the wedding but she ran out of petrol it’s the only reason it’s still here so

    Um we just set a battery in there and it’s got no charging system on it but as I said previous episodes alternators and generators at my place are only to keep the fan belt tight unless it’s on a tract that we use every day or a late model thing these

    Old ones I never bother about it cuz the batteries are in and out of them that much it’s not a problem so especially these old ones you driv them for 10 minutes there’s no charging system required so that basically hot wire for your coil you just push it into the battery terminal

    And give the starter a rub and the way she goes it runs good I just got to put that Carby kit and it’s it’s on the bench up there marked to go in it but this is where she stopped and I was going on my honeymoon the next

    Day and as a BL knows that’s sort of you know I love old tractors but also like things that come on honeymoon so this it wasn’t wasn’t priority to get it back up there when I knew that was coming but it is now it’s all over and honey Moon’s

    Over and all that exciting stuff’s over so I’m sort of more interested in the tractors again okay these are the last Oh I thought there was three there’s actually four these are the last four I’ve got to show you that are in the basically the

    Wreck side of things but um I’ve made a deal on two other chamberlains one’s actually the families uh come from that where that reverse one did so when I say the family is still on Mom side it was never sold it was never so still part of the family

    And I’m the only one sort of interested in tractors I suppose so I’m going to go and pick it up got to put a tire on it and bring it back it’s a 9g uh and another back the front one just like that later I was telling you

    About again so it’s a back the front one but with a crane attachment on it not a it’s a it’s a sing crane um so I’ll probably take my wife or M pick or something we’ll go and pick it up it’s only about an hour and 20

    Minutes north or something so I’ve made the deal the black took it off eBay cuz I said I’ll pay you cash so I spoke to him on the phone he said no it’s reserved so next couple of weeks I’ll go and get it and that’ll be another

    Episode of roaring up the freeway with the the 871 roaring and and another retrieval episode so I’m looking forward to that next one is a 220 gray Fergie now these are like freckles everyone’s got one um you go to shows here they’re all polished they got flags on them and Polished carals and

    I’m not against these things in any way but I sort of like to be I like to have stuff other people have them too and I’m not against those BLS that do have them that’s some PE some people love them some people don’t reason some people don’t

    Is weren’t an overly you talk to a lot of BLS now I was in R they being use but this is just just basically going off other people’s preference but weren’t a real Handy machine for much at all and a lot of you are going to argue in the

    Comments but I don’t care it’s it’s just what I’ve heard and some some bles love them again some bles don’t but no foot rest um I could nearly pick the front of it up myself like and they killed a lot of black these things rolling over

    Backwards as as did a lot of other tractors my grandfather’s actually killed on a a D4 cat sneaking logs both sides of my family were in the timber and he he uh I think me Uncle found him dad’s brother found him he he was lying underneath the old

    Four um I don’t know how long he was there but it killed him D4 cat and as I said reason I’m saying that is a lot of not just these that rolled over and killed BLS they were that I think they had more power than them weight to

    Be honest so the front of them just just come up and and over if you had a slasher or something on they wouldn’t do it but if you’ll just pull them with a chain or a rope or something like that over they’d go and um single stage

    Clutch no foot rest um I don’t know why they’ll say popular don’t know a lot of bles looking for grass and these the these implements came with it I give 500 or 600 whatever I give I could see the value in that I mean it’s

    A wreck at the moment but I’ll tell you something about in a minute um I can’t see how it would pull that any further than about that far in the ground unless it was already fluffed up and and that it’ll probably pull that single but I don’t know let me know your

    Thoughts only kind ones and I’m not as I said I’m not against them in any way but uh when you when you’re interested in machines like this you um you tend to listen to a lot of other bloke stories about things I will be doing a first start of this one possibly

    But the starter motor was pinched off it get one of them about I don’t know I’ve seen it between $160 and $300 but what do you you know do you buy a starter for the thing and have a look at it but I did come up with a bit of a

    Plan and the reason I said I’d get back to this and why I thought 6 was okay for the price one the weight of it two it is a fairly straight tractor like if you look past the wheels it’s a fairly I got the owner’s manual I got

    The service manual the bits and pieces for it but the reason I said 600 was okay because there’s an episode coming up on that 6G Chamberlin crane up there you’ll see but for those of you who have watched that before I just Dro that and

    Show you you you will see that I’m after some rims now the episodes a where I started it um the next episode on that cran will be wheels and tires okay so the back ones on those were pressed steel rims like this and the front ones on the chamberling the heavy cast wheels

    Just as a as a ballast basically so these are a narrower tie but 28 in um Chamberlain runs a 18428 or a 169 28 Tire these are still 28 but a lot narrower so what what I did was what I decided to do was I couldn’t get hold of a chamberling wheel

    Right no one had them unless I had to cut the center out and W into something else so what I what I decided to do the whole wheel wasn’t stuffed just one edge of it one bead of it the tire was protecting half of it and the rest was

    Sitting in the dirt that’s where she rotted on both sides so these are available on eBay I wouldn’t say cheap but not not not not overly expensive either so I thought I’d destroy this one because you can see it’s already destroyed couldn’t be used anyway so I thought I’d cut this

    One up so what what I did was cut that out because it’s 28 in and it’s got the same same curve so cut that out of this Rim cut it out of the chamberling rim and stitched it on sounds fairly bodgy but when you run 16b in a tire that’s

    There’s no no hope in Hill that that’s going to let go what I wanted to do was possibly because I’ve got a set of tires right I think I need one front tire I’ve got one they only about that wide like you probably get one from Blackman

    Bicycles um I’ve got one front tire and I’ve got two back tires so what I was going to do is each month rather than spend a heap on something that’s probably going to stand to this tree when it’s going anyway or or I’ll get

    Rid of it but I haven’t got one of these so I I’ll keep it um just just get one a month one every second month or something one Rim just leing the boxes until I got the complete set then we’ll do an episode on tires and rims on this one and then it’d

    Be more of incentive to buy a starter for it so and then when it’s going I don’t know I’ll put it up there with the rest I suppose but I don’t like things just not being able to move and it’s not seized it’s not not in bad condition at

    All um so I think it’s worth that I think she she’s come this far in life but when I went and paid the bloke and Blok and his wife for it she said she was only a young girl she’s a woman I don’t know I don’t know how old she is

    She said she was only mid-60s I spos now um she was she was still at school when when it was parked in the shed and the starter motor was taken off it so it hasn’t run in you do the math how long so I think that’d be an interesting

    Video and and and she’s you know she’s uh I think it still holds its place I think it’s it’s worth worth being here tell me your thoughts a lot of you bles love these things and I’m not against them as I said you just it’s what what people listen to the stories

    What people have to say and I have no idea I have driven them I think it’ll be I I think in my opinion like I think it’d be quite a good little thing possibly with a 4T grer blade or or a or a you know

    A a rake or something for you tidy up a driveway or something it be it’ be all right but I don’t really use the petrol powered stuff here because you can tip 20 l in this and work it for an hour hour and a half 2 hours possibly

    You tip 20 l in the 35 and you’re not going to fuel it up again till October or something you know you’re not you’re not talking hours you’re talking months that’s that’s the sort of difference I’m getting at here and and again not against them but that

    That’s not against ferges and any that’s just any old petrol tractor that’s for bles that still use them and you know anyway I’ll move on I’ll just get my uh I’m actually having a 4X there cuz that’s all all in the fridge and I haven’t been drinking much because of

    The co but it’s it’s cold it’s okay I don’t love it but next one is I don’t think there’s any up there it’s all in the wreck and line anyone want a Kenworth cab I just want the air cleaner and a few brackets off it just Del that J if anyone wants a

    Kenworth cab and it’s a cut off no engine I just want the air cleaner and a few cab brackets the rest is for free if you want it was for free for me so I don’t believe in charging money for the rest of it I’m not like

    That um next is a z 4911 so these three here I say saved from that same mob in the circus so um the same company but different different areas they had the had a line Park they had a lion safari had the circus these three come from there this one here I

    Got I didn’t pay nothing for any of them I I was actually given them I maintain the lawnmowers tractors Bobcats whatever they got up there i’ I’d just volunteer to do all that the bigger jobs I get paid but the smaller ones I get given like this I

    Get I just donate me time cuz it’s it’s all off a not it’s at the moment it’s not for profit so up there 4911 so I’ve got the full set I got the 49 59 the 69 up there well not the full set but sounds like it uh I did it first start

    On this I did a retrieval episode then I did a first start on it it runs like a clock believe it or not um um it used to just maintain the park around with a trailer cleaning up the bins picking up the bins and bits and pieces around the line Park possibly tow

    A a trailer with people around the park to show like a safari tour sort of thing um was parked up when the Park closed I believe 986 or something it was parked and I I did get it going yes it spun over I thought it’d be Seas but it wasn’t

    I did pinch something off it for the 5911 I think it was a delivery valve off one of the ejector lines there I think it was anyway will I ever get it going I don’t know I mean it goes but the rest of it uh do you spend money on Tires and

    Brakes these are got hydraulic brakes don’t think it runs the brakes of a dry band around a drum which you can see through there they’ve been exposed to the weather will that work I don’t know they got wheel cylinders in there means taking that extension housing

    Off which I’m not a keen on to end up with not a real well it’s a useful machine it’s not the right word but I don’t need another tractor that size if you know what I mean for that amount of work I’ve already got the 59 it’s not much bigger

    So if I need a tractor that big I’ll use it but it’s a tractor so I took it I just love tractors so needs a back tire there I don’t think I’ve got one that size the front ones are only off an old Land Cruiser or something by the look of

    It it runs fine didn’t didn’t try the clutch didn’t put the thing in gear we just ran it so there is an episode on that one will it start after being parked in 1986 again made in Czechoslovakia brilliant brilliant motor it’s a three cylinder exactly the same all the way

    Through they were they just things got bigger added more cylinders again correct me if I’m wrong um these actually didn’t point out on the other two had had a front suspension system on the front axle it it did it did oscillate as well as well as each

    Wheel so if you if you oscillate or put put a bit of weight on the back she started to lift a bit that it still hold weight on on the ground with those Wheels compl absolute completely rooted but I’d never fix that I couldn’t care less as long as it steered that’s fine

    Um la la of fat in there I guess next one I don’t know what they used to use this for I have no idea um David Brown 1200 big old girl it’s seized so far I’ve robbed the starter off at one 3o linkage um i’ got the old L Cruiser bullbar on

    Her I don’t know what they use this for I will ask the one day just so I can if I ever do a story on it I’ve got that information now one of these tractors they both come from the same same area one of them ended

    Up uh when they feed the Lions they all the waste of the lines they need they basically got a pit up there they throw into now this was this was years ago one of them rolled into that pit with the carcasses in it and all you can imagine

    The slop and the filth in there after the rain and the and the guts and all the one of them ended up in there I think it was the David Brown I think and it went all through the transmission and basically submerged it in that I don’t know that it ever went again

    But that’s a big old girl I’d love to get that going but is it worth the effort look at it you’re talking ties you’re talking when I see tires rooted on things like this apart from that Chamberlain being the crane Chamberlin being an exception for its history you start to wonder because if

    Youve replaced that tire then you got to get rid of it and and to do that in Australia that’s big money just to get rid of that one tire unless you’re one of them complete parasites at thr on the side of the road which I will never ever do which I refuse to

    Do um you’re looking at you’re looking at dollars when you just store them here but one day when you move they still got to go um so anyway that’s that’s just one thing that that does turn you off about a few things that I have seen for sale

    And you know bits and pieces but when they’re given to you yes I’ll go and get it uh can’t tell you any more about it cuz I don’t know I really don’t know it does roll all the wheel spin cuz we pushed it there next one’s a 564

    Um don’t know the history of it what they used it for unloading circus equipment around the park I don’t know I think it’s seized it’s got 30in tires on it which I will probably have to put on that 554 or one of them anyway course the inside

    Walls split for being flat for so long but what worries me about this one when I walk near it is and now’s no exception that bead and it’s still pumped up and it only have I don’t know 8 lb in it probably look if it’s flat on

    The bottom anyway sort of half flat that whole bead’s rusted off I was going to take a rim over and put on that tractor but I’d rather fix it and then stuff around this one’s already together what I’d probably do with this one cut the later frame all off it throw

    It all into B get rid of all the hydraulic simplify the rest of it and then look look at it again um I think it would make it more appealing um least put a tire on the front get the thing rolling again you can get P of

    These off B on the internet fairly easy just like the te20 you get a rim for it um tin Works on it on the front anyway which they all are so yeah I don’t know know I think I I think I’d like to get

    An oxy set here for a day and cut a bit of this up and just simplify it get rid of the front off it front scrap bin there’s a bit of other stuff up around here a lot to cut up too so that is the end of the tractor talk I

    Mean there’s a lot of other stuff here but by all my farm tractors okay Ron thanks for watching um if you’re still are watching some of you will be some would have clicked out in the first 5 minutes like they do but doesn’t matter sorry it’s been late between episodes um

    Kids are at home I got three kids and my wife does the editing and and looking after them and uh trying to edit the editing’s a lot of you don’t see what goes into a video um editing’s very hard I’ll see what she does and it’s twice as

    Long as actually filming it if not more so plus we’re doing it all off a laptop and it keeps crashing haven’t got the money to invest in a bigger I don’t know how computers work so uh sorry it’s been so long between episodes thank you to Pon members I’ve

    Been putting stuff up for them online just stuff I’ve been doing on the side other stuff I’ve been doing in the for the channel off the channel just stuff I’ve been doing um people that buy merchandise thank you thank you for all the likes on the Facebook page on the

    Instagram page all those nice comments on there too that’s just fantastic so uh plenty of episodes coming up I’m going to put a lot of effort into the channel this year still have been since I’ve been putting a lot of effort into the channel off uh even though there’s

    Been no episodes there been a lot recorded So we we’ve done a lot we’ve done a lot um retrieved all that stuff from next door went and got the Albi in I’ve done a lot of work to the chamberling to the the ls Charmers that wasn’t on the on the channel but I’ve

    Done a lot and there’s a lot going to happen down here all this stuff’s got to be moved for something we’re doing here so thanks to everyone for watching and hopefully you still are watching we’ll see you in the next one

    1. Great video Steve, hope you're all feeling better now. Fergys are very popular in the UK, but prices have more than doubled in the last few years. It is worth saving all good tin ware. Just a thought, maybe if you did a quick restoration of the 3 Zetors, they would make a great display on your trailer at shows. Please try and save the Austin and Bedford J as they make good display trucks. Wish I could afford to ship them to the UK. I'm looking forward to the Albian video. The best truck you have, lol. I see all the old trucks on TV programmes like opal hunters and wish they could be saved. Take care my friend

    2. The Fiat 513 were popular in the sugar industry in Qld ,, the bigger brother to the 411R, there about 60 hp ,, a few found them selves on Don Mizzi cane harvesters in the Mackay area

    3. The MF35 4 cyl was known by their colour , tin work was grey like the TE20s and the motor was gold , went well when you got it going ,, cranked it to 2700 reves , in 1964 hauling cane at Mackay ,, went like a rocket 🙂

    4. The TE 20 was a great tractor in its application ,, came in Diesel,,, Petrol and Kero and straight Petrol ,, about 20 hp came with a whole range of implements,, pulled a 2 furrow disc plough easy ,,, Ive ploughed 4 acres a day easy,, only problem you couldnt get a days work out of a tank of petrol , consequently you were topping up the petrol tank at lunch , and if you spilt petrol over a hot exhaust manifold you may well end up in the shit,,

    5. Gday Steve, what a bloody awesome collection, it’s good to see these being saved, video editing is very time consuming for sure, I spent all day yesterday at the computer for a 25min video, great video mate, cheers

    6. Be entertaining to find something the old Lantz would not run on. They seem to regard almost anything as fuel, including creosote. Oddly economical because although they use a fair bit of fuel per hour, that fuel might be dirt cheap or even rejected for use by anything else, possibly even a Marshall. The little Fergies or Ford Fergies were the first to introduce the 3 point concept. Newer stuff may well do it better or safer, but it was the ground breaker. On the market at the same time as the Lantz and the Marshall……

    7. Really enjoyed that Steve thanks for posting, perhaps you may be short of a Nuffield/Leyland or two? I have found that it’s best not to get rid of anything because one day you will have renewed interest in something and if it’s gone you may regret that…

    8. Well, firstly, I've gotta give a HUGE 'Thank You' for the shout-out!! Did not expect that, but certainly did appreciate it! Secondly, please look after yourself. Covid is a bugger of thing to deal with. When they say 'plenty of liquids', I don't think beer is what they had in mind!! Ha ha!! Lastly, I'm super tempted to come down and grab the cabin off that Austin to glue onto my Patrol chassis. Although, I think the logistics of the whole process might kill the idea.
      Awesome video Steve (as usual). You've got a fantastic collection there. I'm very envious of your space, your sheds and all your toys!! Thanks for sharing it. 🙂

    9. Hi Steve 👍vid I have a grey Ferguson and my thoughts are if you run them with the genuine Ferguson 3 point implements and genuine 3ton trailer ect they can put a days work in you might be surprised if you had a day ploughing with a genuine Ferguson 2 furrow plough on some decent ground mate

    10. Awesome morning brother and little sister from another country Awesome adventure man Awesome tour of Awesome Ole iron hope yall have an awesome day !!! Awesome brother thank you for the tour it's awesome as always

    11. Hi Steve. I was told that alot of people who had money brought a Gray Fergie to get another petrol rashtion. Often parked up an not used much. Allowed these people more freedom to travel futher.
