It is wonderful to see how some people neglect equipment and then give up on it, when a bit of resourceful fixing can bring it back to fully operational. You paid a fair price considering the work of getting it out. The cost of spares was worth the time and effort you put into the beast. You have a nice, relaxed style of working accurately while presenting. Circlips, and spring steel clips in general have an unmet desire for interplanetary travel, well done for limiting their wander lust.

It would be super cool to have one of those hydraulic powered chainsaws from the tractor-but they're exceedingly rare. Also a straight shaft commercial string trimmer with a crosscut saw carbide blade is the most fantastic clearing and edging of concrete tool if you confabulate a good guard for safety. You can also swap in a 7" (15cm) metal cutoff wheel that cuts so fast and so epically as well as safe...All I know is that this was a fantastic video, thank you.

Hobbies are great, Marty likes rescuing and restoring dead and abandoned machines. When he gets something better, or runs out of parking space he can always sell for a profit. Our hobby is enjoying watching him do it.

As usual another great video from you on how to do maintenance. Very nice move to let your Lady drive the little Kubota. It seem she enjoed that and immediately forgot you promising not to bring more tractors home. 😂🤞

I love your "refuse to quit" attitude. I mean translating the part name to Japanese and snagging it? Love it.

It's hilarious how your partner can get on there, drive it, and park it in the garage with no drama. In America, you'd be hard pressed to find a couple where even one of them knows how to operate or even understand a manual transmission. Nice work by the way

Marty, I found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching for the last 32 hours! I live in Southwest Michigan USA. I have loved tractors ever since Larry Rogalski, my older cousin put me in his lap when I was 4 years old (1962) and disked 40 acres of land. When I got older I worked for a local farmer for 13 grape seasons driving tractor along side a Chism single row grape harvester. It was the best time in my whole life! I loved that 1958 Massey Ferguson 4 cylinder tractor with Multipower. That old steel Lady and I had a lot of adventures together. I even recommited my life to the Lord sitting in her seat! And I cried like a baby when the farmer sold his farm and we had to part, because I didn't have enough money to buy her. Watching your videos has taken me back to those days, 1975 - 1987. Thank you from a 63-year-old man, who still dreams of a old red faded Massey Ferguson tractor named Dawn! May God bless you and your family!

Your wife has a great sense of humor. Does she also make you promise not to eat or breath, lol. You can still get some great deals on old iron, provided that your knowledge is equal to that of the engineers that designed it. I enjoyed this video. 😎👍🚜 🔧

I have a similar, slightly older version of this tractor, with a very leaky seal on the right front portal axle. Not nearly as much slop in the system, but I watched very closely to see how it comes apart and how the seals are situated. Thanks for posting all of this. Very informative and entertaining. Nice score, and great work on this little beast. They are excellent machines, and serve their owners well. Also, the rear tires are mounted backwards on your machine. Just a swap side to side will correct it if necessary.

Marty never ceases to amaze me when he does a rebuild on his rolling stock. Unlike me, he never has any parts left over at the end. How he gets all the parts back in is remarkable. That is why I now only watch, drink the his beer and give “advice.”

Thanks for your video, I have a BX2230 that is leaking from that same from side same area that ill need to address once warmer weather hits. Thanks again

That press makes life wonderful!

Whenever I see a bearing being "pressed out" it reminds me of a time when I was in the Press Room of a commercial printer when the maintenance staff were trying to "Press off" a bearing stuck on a printing cylinder. When it finally broke loose it went clear through a concrete block wall and about 30 feet further. Glad nobody was standing at the end of the cylinder shaft when it broke loose. Made quite a large hole in the concrete block wall.

What a darling of a tractor! Also impressed your missus knows the trick to changing gears on the go, don't ask it to go into gear, tell it to go into gear haha

Always nice to see something put back into a serviceable condition .

Nice little addition to your other machinery Marty,well done.👍👍

Nice move to have the lady drive it after finished. Better your chances of being able to keep it now.

If a bearing has movement (at that, noticeable on camera) but it's smooth, then there's likely even more damage than seen. Good choice to replace it, especially after all that good work! :)

Getting out of the grey market trap, nicly done.

Sweet Tractor, I wish I had one like it!!!!!! All you need now is a underbelly finish mover, small box grader and a small brush hog.
