It’s always a treat, watching you guys work on those old workhorses. If I had the shop capacity I wouldn’t turn a project like this down. But being a spectator is 2nd best. Have fun and enjoy the ride…

Thanks for watching George! Have a great new year

Told you previously Nathan that Squatch introduced your channel when he got the cab/canopy off you. You and Squatch have different ways of getting machines back working - both methods are absorbing, think it's because the two of you have infectious enthusiasm. Looking forward to when you fire the 60 up. Take care. 🇬🇧🎅

You probably knew you would hear from me. I noticed him move the fan in the beginning of the video and was wondering how it could be moved so easily being gear driven. I got lucky and didn’t have to do anything with the radiator, didn’t remove it and so far hasn’t leaked a drop. When you were outside you apologized for the light. You’re working on a Sixty, you don’t have to apologize for anything! All I had to work on was the engine on mine, everything else was in very usable condition. On mine I could tell that it was gone through at some time I think using good parts from different tractors. 3 hours, that takes dedication. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching. 👍

Thanks so much for watching Geoffrey, it is a long drive to the shop but it’ll be worth it in the end! I brought lots of parts home with me this last time that I can work on and refurbish before I go back to the shop. We will see you in the new year for more on this project.

Nathan really enjoying the sixty rebuilt. I have been rebuilding a big twenty for a number of years. The sixty is similar in design to the twenty.
