35 years in the agricultural engineering world allowed me to see the end of the “make do and mend” generation, and I’ll say a luncheon meat filter end is only scratching the surface of what some of the ol buggers would do to keep stuff a goin 😂😂😂

After u found that can lid in the filter couldn't see the rest o the video for tears in my eyes 👀🤣 poor Greta 🙄 musta thought was laughin at her 🤔 no chance 😂 great tractor good video Kurt👍

Since day one I’ve never skipped a second of your videos, you talk far from bullshit and put haters in there place, keep up the hard work

Has to be the best none filtering filter I have seen for a while, great stuff, hats off to who ever came up with that idea :)

You can't beat a proper bodge.. I tip my cap to you for the time effort and expense a give a tractor away. Top bloke mucka...👌

That was a superior bodge👌 one wonders if they realised how much of a grin it would give the next person to look at the filter!

Congratulations Duncan! That’s a wonderful tractor for a young man to have

Your Lordship, on YT, there is a man who restores old Caterpillar Farm tractors. He is Squatch253. One day he took out the Main Journal Caps on a Cat engine, to find Beer cans that were used to shim up the Main Bearings.. Sir, you beat me to the "Greta Punch" at 14:29. Keep up the good work! Best wishes from across the Pond! Andrew D.

Never have I ever, thought of re-using an oil filter.😮 I do have a Campbell's soup can on my 1935 WC Allis to cover the exhaust if it has to set outside for a night.

Like always great channel excellent content and total commitment from yourself which gives us so much pleasure to watch well done Duncan on winning the tractor and also how nice and generous of yourself to make this possible

Talk about giving it some beans!!……engineering perfection back in the day! ….great vid as always mucka! 👌

Just brilliant, so entertaining and honest, when you found that filter that was priceless, a funny quip that turned out to be true🤣😂

Your videos are excellent. I look forward to more, especially Matador stuff. Thank you.

And this why this is a brilliant you tube channel. Well done lord muck

39 years in the ag and plant trade , seen some weird stuff but never a tin can lid in a filter, had to see it to believe it ,great vid kurt 😆👍

Good job as always. Really should get my 1954 major head sorted and going again. Thanks again for a good video.

Well, that was more than worth waiting for to watch 👍👍👍👍really enjoyed the content,,what can you say about the old majors , simple basic engineering but so good , no blasted computer 💻 & endless wiring with ECu’s !!! Sheer heaven !!!😃what a nice crisp start up , beautiful to hear, for me the old tractors have character & charm. Then the road test, what more do you actually need, was making good road speed & nice sound, was quite envious to be truthful, thanks for another great video with your charm of presenting !👍👍😊

This is why I love this channel and the people of this country. Unbelievable.

Congrats Duncan, great job Kimberly and Kurt, Major is running sweet, evening Puppo:):)

Looks like a bean can classic brightened up a wet Monday evening Thanks Lord muck 👍

Great video Lord Muck you were surprised to see that tin lid on the end of the filter you were very shocked brakes work very well good tractor.

Great old Tractor, great video. The tin lid for the bodge filter will be a great talking point. Great Stuff 👍

Congrats Duncan. I Thought cans from the bin were for exhaust repair....ya learn something everyday. As I previously mentioned, I love seeing the old girls light off at a touch, & seems you do as well by the grin on your chops. Keep them coming. Cheers

Another brilliant video mucky always enjoy watching

we had a 1956 fordson used on the family farm in Devon up to year 2000, I think father sold for 400 Pounds. We had a belt drive on it which was handy for the hay blower. One stage clutch so the PTO would stop when changing gear of stopping. the brakes were a bit dodgy. In the early 80's I was kept home form school to roll in the spring barley, I spent hours on that tractor. absolutey bomb proof.

Great little tractor, looks a treat like that! 👍🏻

Mucking marvellous! Necessity is the mother of invention after all!

You have done a great job on that major very we done brilliant job

Great video, you no what to do next time you need a filter bottom !!!! She sounds lovely.

And of course Kim...

Bud.your a howl with the old clip inserts absolute belters as always 👍😎

The difference between a mechanics head and a farmers head back in the day. Waiting until the next day to get a new filter may not have been an option especially if the weather was going to break or you're using borrowed equipment that had to be returned the next day which when I was a lad was common.

It must have been a long old season not to have time to change a filter for nearly 40 fucking years...

Well, I've done some field and get you home fixes in the past but never had to resort to the top off a veg can for anything! Still there's always a first and I suppose when they struck her up and she ran they decided to leave it and then forgot about it. How about getting the tin lid mounted with an accompanying plaque and auctioning it off for the Border Collie Rescue charity?

Excellent video Lord Muck :) also what fun part seen was my late Uncle Bill & Dad Don and was fuel filter in Sediment Bowl Filter for gas McCormick International Combine and old Cockshutt Tractor could get one from International dealer close up on holiday so used John Deere also work fine to also Spark plugs need change on Combine but my used his 1968 Bombardier with 292 CC 1 cylinder Spark plugs had extra around on to Combine motor plus work till got Champions from International dealer! The size of Hex on Spark plugs was 13/16 size and threads hole were 5/8 in size to! I know something can be wild but work too amazing and trouble free! Also Lord Muck also group have you when take some motor apart or steering in Desiel motors plus hear inside on fuel tank there rattle wonder doing that and find ignition switch key in like brand new shape and already bought new key months or years ago! But blame yourself missing place it ?

Great video love the channal thanks. Lucky young man well done .

That is priceless iv seen some odd things coming out ov engines in my time but that's a new one on me 🤔😳😁

That fuel filter fix was definitely the craziest thing I ever saw. You definitely did a very nice job getting the old major into mechanically sound condition. They were great tractors in their day. There was only one thing I never liked about them. When climbing on the fenders came too far forward and if you had large boots on it was hard to turn your foot around and face forward. Other than that they were a great machine!!😀👍👍 All it could still use is a fresh coat of paint. I hope the new owner cherishes it as much as I would. Take care my friend!!😀😀❤ Logger Al

That would have been a premium fuel for Slave Lake. A first seeing the dinner can lid, but then I have seen some sketchy repairs over the years. Great video.

One if the best videos I’ve seen proper mechanical gold you would have had to be a genius to have set that up😂😂😂😂

Good morning your Lordship, that Fordson major that you were working in this week’s video has come up trumps and that young man who has won this tractor 🚜 will be so happy that he can now drive it safely will be so happy 😀 as I know that I would be if I had won this Classic tractor from way back when ans all it needs now is a dusting of clear coat varnish to keep its story alive and until next time TaRa for a bit.

Lord muck that fuel filter made my day as you said that was just unbelievable, great video as usual.

yet another great video keep it up lordy

Interesting and entertaning. Seeing and hearing you on the test drive brings back memories on hauling silage with a similar one around 1978. Only one brake worked on it

Oh that fuel filter, that made me laugh so hard 😂 hilarious. Seen some dodgy repairs on tractors, but that one takes the biscuit😂👍.

Put that can lid in a small frame before you hang it on the wall - and make sure you note "Where it came from".

By far the best at describing something

Didn't you know Heinz also makes fuel filter parts? Cracking vid your Lordship, Duncan's getting a great tractor. Look forward to the new vid's, all the best!

Wow.havent seen a pneumatic governor Simms in a long time. Thanks for the video

Nice job on the Fordson. 👍I will keep 👀

Class video much enjoyed Lord Muck 👌👌

Superb find 👍made me chuckle

I do enjoy watching your blogs and will have a go at the compation I like tractor s with front wheel assist or for wheel drive I like tractor s from the 6os Jeremy

We'll I've heard of make do and mend but that filter is taking it to the extreme, maybe there's a best before date on lid give you some idea of last filter change lol. There are some crazy people out there ,the old girl looks and sounds great, good job well done.

Years ago, my mate bought a mk1 Polo that had biscuit tin pop riveted in the bulkhead.

Lovely video on the Fordson , great little tractor . You should frame the tin can engineering 🛠️🚜👍

Damn nice tractor , and a great one for a winner of a draw. I havent been on a tractor in about fifty years. We had JD tractors a big b from around 1940 an an m from about 1954. I drove the and hand cranked the b to start her. Farming vegs for a farmer in my early teen yrs. Big pay to $.75 cents an hr. Or picking tomatoes at a $.25 a basket. In a good week I made $25- $30 bucks.

I have seen some crazy shit but that fuel filter was good, there was a guy who cut up beer cans to shim up the slipper bearings on a D2 .

Rarely do you encounter a speechless moment, it took a lunchmeat can or rather a part thereof 🚜💂🔧🙈👀

That’s a decent give away, be a good craic 👌🏻

"How dare you" oh man that made me laugh out loud. Good to see you're still mucking about.

Standard old school farm spec that filter repair, probably has brillo pads wedged in the air cleaner too.

What a great old tractor They don’t make them with so much character now.

Fantastic video mucka still laughing

I discovered this channel over Christmas 2022 and am going through the Lord Muck back catalogue and I have to say this is the funniest one I've seen 😅. Tinned luncheon meat with potatos and veg, grim and grimmer still if it inspires you to make a fuel filter out of the tin...

A true farmer fix!

Great video mucker

Fookin 'ell a bloomin tinnie lid. I'm impressed and I learned a new trick.

That steering doesn't look like it has much room if that tractor had a loader on it. My old major with loader tends to point the wheels in opposite directions. Need to pull her out of the nettles and get it running again and sort the diesel leaking in to the oil.

These machines are really reliable. It's hard to understand how bad service these machines got,but still they do they work..I have found Lot of strange things in these machines. LOT of leafs in motoroil, oilpan was fixed with nails and pieces of rope and typical mistake is losted oilfilter spring..no filtering at all.. Its like opening easternegg when you open old machines valvecover😆

Well Mucker I’ve seen it all now!! An old meat can lid has made my evening!! Old Ford son runs loads better now all that waters not in the shitty filter, quality thanks. Fenland Rob

Probably though that if it clogged their gut up the tin can may have the opposite effect on the fuel system. Wonder how many times they cut themselves never seen it heard that before have heard of someone thinking you cleaned them like the old oil bath air filters and then packing it with wire wool thankfully got noticed though

Hey that filter repair bodge made me smile. It is amazing what some people will do. The worst thing I ever saw was a big end repaired with the tongue off a leather boot? Good video mucker, always get me laughing. That old Major sounds good .

Good old Fordson. That fuel filter was probably an early design flux capacitor ! I know of someone (who shall remain annonymous ) who use several baked bean cans to make replacement shell bearings on a JD4240S. That didn't go to plan either !!!!

Quality fuel filter straight out the factory

Great video. Thanks.👍
