Very few tractors that earned a living stayed completely standard. I added various brackets and carriers to the TW to make it more useable.

As long as they still doing a days work and not sitting around. Love seeing them out working and in use I have a super 4 and she is the main tractor on our farm at the moment until I get the 774 going

What have you done with Deano and was it legal 🤔

i would agree on not changeing them if it was a show tractor but this is a working tractor and needs to be functional over original

We used to have to start 3 - 4 tractors every morning. So what I found was that I could put two of them into the cowshed, and that would keep them really warm. One of my hobbies is gliding, and one day I flew over 200 cows waiting in a yard for milking. The warmth created a thermal, which I could use to gain a few hundred feet , slowly, but better than nothing. My other trick was to have a wheelbarrow with two spare batteries, and jump-leads, as my start-cart for the loader and feeder tractors. . . . . .

The only thing getting warm on that cold start was the starter motor, didn't Ford believe in glow plugs or was it so that farmers kept buying starter motors. Lovely sound though cheers George hope the flooding isn't too bad in your area.

Great to see these old tractors still at work. 35 years old and still turn in a good days work...👍

Great video George! You do crack me up with some of your comments! Good trusty old Ford. She did well to start up with the temperature that cold. I do love that TW. She’s in great condition too!

Everytime I hear the old tdub it makes me smile. I love the sound of that thing!! Nice one George.

Beautiful sound George! Looking forward to seeing your new lights on the old T-dub!👍🏼

Nice one George. This is the weather to test your battery and yours passed the test. Great sound of her ticking over. Hope there's a good heater in the cab.

Sounded GREAT at the end there, pulling out of the ole homestead! Cheers!

Brilliant video George, thank you. Great to see her start! Fords never fail!

Your Ford is friggin fantastic! Love it. Great vlog TA TA

Well said Mr S..... its your TW... she's a worker TW not a Show Girl..... Keep the videos Coming and I hope that river is behaving itself and didn't flood up any higher than last video.

Lovely mate, memories of no pre heat and starter motor struggles. The pipe sounds ok pal. Lol at ya piddle take moments, Kurt is rubbing off onto ya 😂😂. The older tractors didn’t really get blessed with much in the way of forward lighting as I recall. The first with any slight illumination was on the MF 2000 series.

That’s what it’s all about, making them more usable for everyday use. Nothing wrong with bringing it into the 21st century.

Morning George great video of the TW on a cold start!! I do like how they pant when cold. A very good idea to do a bulb upgrade, it’s your tractor and you need to see in the dark. Fenland Rob

Well done sir. Keeping it usable for yourself. I managed to get led fan cooled elements (keep the sparkies happy) 😁 to fit in the original headlights and wow I can see now 😁. Keep up the good work. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’ve had a Ford 6610 for ages it still starts in minus 10 just push de old choke button, lovely looking tractor by the way respect !

Its a working Tractor George, no way could that stay original in modern times, ignore the haters, keeping it real in 2021

Had a fair bit down here in devon..settled on exmoor..kids enjoyed it. Led deffo the way forward id have a lightbar on it working ground the way you do into the evenings.

My take on it is that actual ownership aside, T-Dub is an important part of the fleet on the farm primarily and your toy second, if you want to make it safer, more convenient and better to use then you go for it! I'd much rather see a good straight honest T-Dub that's up to a day's and night's hard work on land and on the road than an over restored machine that only, if ever, gets a gentle road run and ends up with polished barrels through want of a workout. Funny how these naysayers all speak the same too! Thanks for the entertainment again George.

Hallo george Nice to See the cold start with your Ford tw

Superb George , thank you , mod that TW 👍🏻🚜

Can't wait to c her with the new lights on. I grew up driving a 6600 and then a 4610. Good old days

Great video as always George nice to see a cold start again with the tw she fires right up as I said diesel engine hate the cold so much but anyway nice to see you had the straight pipe on her again and it sounds so nice as always especially when it's idles. 😉👍

Good work George. Adapt and overcome.

Nice cold start George your right good lighting make's good working condition I have put l LED lights on rear of cab and front of the cab it's great plus new head light's and I put the same type of mirror it's better when you have a trailer on we'll done your right forget standard parts make it easier and safer good video George we have 2 ford 7700

More lights always better and mudguards and you are so right about old wingmoors if i get a TW i will be fitting telescopic mirrors off a TM on her tbh only thig i would never change is the flap on the exhaust i love those and better for the exhaust and simple. Great video cant beat the old 6.6 lovely engine

Definitely needs to be practical. She's a working tractor and needs to be useable and safe. She's sounding awesome too, I got serious tractor envy now!! Hope your keeping well and the water level has dropped. ATB

That TW sounds bloody lovely could listen to that sound all day

I liked the sound track of the Ford ticking over while you were talking. My 7910 was a bitch to start in cold weather for the last 3 years. Recently replaced the normal starter with a hi-speed one. No issues now in freezing weather. Good farming Regards from Ireland

Great video george, good to see the old girl alive.

Great 👍 video George stay safe there is a nice sound coming from the tw 👍👍🚜🚜🇬🇧🇬🇧👩‍🌾😷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Well said safety and practicality is 10 times more important that keeping them standard

bonjour George merci pour ta vidéo et bon courage a toi pour la suite 😍👍👍👍👍

Too bloody right George!! It's the practicality that matters

Agree with you George on the lighting..yes it's a old machine and you have people who think they should be keeped original but it's still a working machine and you need to move with the times, I have a 1973 David Brown and I've fitted led lights to it because they are 100% better than the old halogen ones.. like you are doing, I have fitted them to blend in with the machine so they don't look out of place... Another benefit with led lights is.. they don't draw as much power as halogen lights so they will be better for the electric system...

Nothing wrong with adding a few mod cons to the old girl👍 just makes her more special😊👍👍

The “George, why didnt you use the cold start” impression cracked me up! 🤣🤣🤣

I think if you were keeping the TW for shows you'd want to keep it standed but as your using it regularly it needs to be kept up to date for safety reasons, lovin that sound of her at the end of the vid 👌🏻

I love the idea of LED lights. The bulbs don’t blow lights normal lights & LED are brighter. Good job George.

Good video sir. I got them led work light on my case 885 bloody good lights. The old lights where 60watts them are only like 40 watts

That’s the dogs bullies lovely sound good to see you George stay safe mate

Those lights will look good and that sound is fantastic

Great video buddy love the sound of your TW25 love your humour they don’t build them like that anymore buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

It took it some time to start, but it cranks really good!

Great vid loving new T Dub and using cold start spray it can get to used to it! As long as she starts that's main thing and Led lights going to improve visibility proper. Fair play George she your machine mate!

Engines dont "get used to" ether...thats just a myth .

At the end of the day its your tractor so if you want to put led's on it they can sod off!!! Its a working tractor and if it makes it more practical to use all the better in my eyes. Hows the flooding out of the back of the farm? 👍

Cracking video George, you tell em!!

I didn't think she was going to fire at first but she didn't disappoint.

Great video George! 👍

Haha few vids if seen tonight are having a good steam let off 😂 but yes totally agree. My 7810 has few non standard stuff, but end of day I’m trying to keep it as genuine as possible but practical. Safety at end of day and less strain on your body.

Thanks George great vid mate.. Take care sir..

that is a good battery keep up the good work George

U love changing the owd pipes on and off her George 😂💪🏼

Just upgraded the work lights on the farms ford 7710 to led, managed to find some that were the same shape as the original ones

Yes George its your beast the TW and a working one sounds great so you upgrade it how you like you need better lights these days so 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻from me mate

George, I know very little about LED lights but will that pair of lights your talking about installing at the front provide a dip beam and a main beam or not? If not what are your plans to deal with this issue? I think the toolbox on the RH side of the engine would be best.

I always wondered how these pig eyes could give real guidance in the dark to any driver, as the top cabin lights have to be out on official roads. But then, they look cool on the TW series, dont they? Keen to see what you are coming up with as an alternative, George. Love these Ford dinosaurs. Good to still see them in action. And a nice contrast to the modern JCB fleet, which must be a joy to drive and operate, in its own way.

Hi George I have have painted the mud guards white on my 6710 because I like them that colour up to you what you do on your tractor just a thought if you change the plough lights the old ones will sell well I could not get any for mine so I put 4 led one's on great 🤔😁👍👌

She is a beast George hope your keeping well mate

Fantastic sound 👍

Good stuff George, nothing worse than trying to drive with 2 candles:):)

Really great George!

Love the sound of the TW 😎

Nice tractor with a cool rumble.

i used to work on TWs , thats an ace tractor buddie

George.....is there a good supply of parts available from Ford or a aftermarket supplier for the TW range ? Thanks.

Well it sounds nice ...side pipes go faster stripes HARR HARR. Same on the Moutain Bike the brighter the better, be seen be safe

Do a video on how you adapt them George, good man . Cheers

Hi George great to the tw25 running sounds great I love ford tractors the new lights will look amazing and don't worry what other people think spring is 5 weeks away keep up the good work BTW do you know Richard cornock

Good to see you out doors for some fresh air❄️🥶😷 cold start ? Can you let it pre-glow longer before cranking? Changing to a Winter grade oil improves cold cranking👍. Are you using anti gel and winter grade diesel. I'm just an old retired Mercedes trchnician and love a good analog diesel. Crack on George😷🇺🇲❤️👍

How is the injection pump lubricated? Please post a video on how it’s lubricated. I want to know if I can put the oil pressure system on my 7710. You should leave the lights off because it looks so much tougher. The American lights are in a cooler spot on the cab.

Took some starting old tw do u think it needs a smaller pipe on lol keep up the good vids

You have a healthy old battery on her anyway which is good. Took her a little while to fire off but she got there.

Is that a new exhaust on it? Sounds amazing

I totally agree with you. If an old tractor is still doing it’s bit of work, then you should go safe in it and enjoy it rather then having all original. I mean those little things new bigger mirrors, better lights it just makes it safer. I mean what does it use yourself when you can’t see anything driving down the road and you have an accident for example right in the middle of harvest.

Yes, its all well and good for the collectors to say that things should be original and maybe it should for old tractors that sit in a shed year round but this one gets used so a tractor that gets used and sometimes in the dark needs good lights.

To keep a classic doin a job o work nowadays u really need to have a few upgrades 👍👍

Surprised you haven't put any up top on the cab before now too.

great video george that put people in there place before they had time for stupid comments love it keep it up !!!!!

Wish we had led lights 30 years ago, Would have made a huge difference. She took a bit of cranking but she started.

Nearly 100k george 👍

Nice old Bus 👍 a nice upgrade would be a mhale geared starter for her. Made a hell of a difference to my 15. Have a look at my videos, I have her starting

good morning, do you have front weights for your TW? I come from Germany and I really enjoy watching your videos. keep it up. 👍

Fantastic 👍 thanks tractor made for work not to sit in shed looking pretty 😅

You can’t beat the ford. An old reliable. She looks savage

How many tractors do you have

The way i look at it is if people want to see classics still being used were they belong in the fields then these little upgrades to help improve safety and work production are just fine there not drastic tractor changing things, whats going to happen when the Electric fever takes over and people are dropping Electric motors in to classics there going to get shot lol , she's sounding great there pal pleasure to hear.

Where have you been George its good to see you uploading again

Great video again

Are you channeling your inner mucker on this one George lol

Whats happened to the blue Ford of yours never see it now 😢 have you sold it ???

Your tractor George you can modify it as much as you like 👍

Hi George sorry haven’t watched any videos for a while what happened to your JCB fastracks?

How's farm George with water at moment as mention one video it was coming close to farm my parents house got flooded badly

Surprised you had any battery cables left after turning it over for that long.

Wow the old girl sounds well George ime with you she's still a working girl so a few mod cons her and there doesn't take anything away from her

Love it George, do I decect a hint of syachasim 👍👍

Sounds like a Arctic start in minus 40 C !!! -3 C isn't even mosquito free in Sweden! Haha!

Bottom line george its ur tractor. If u want to paint it pink and give it a mo hair roof its your tractor and ur choice. Iv had to cold start my 88 on Saturday. Had alot of advice mainly on the cold start button that has an issue. My main problem though was a week battery
