Just seeing someone willing to do the dirty work is different anymore

He practically STEALS a nice, decent sized, 4WD Mahindra diesel tractor with front end loader, he makes the broken frame STRONGER than the factory and puts it all back together in one day. He's a Fab Rat, definitely. Then he tests and shows rescued, repaired, restored tractor doing all kinds of tractor things that resemble useful work...what's NOT to like?! Cool. Keep on keepin' on!

My favorite part about your videos is the “homemade” feel to them. That sense of “F it, I’m sure I’ll figure it out…” and diving into something. Leaving in the parts where something goes clearly wrong and could be construed as making you look stupid, think cutting a way to get the wires through the frame when there was already a cutout you couldn’t see or the tractor rolling away, that gives the videos a very genuine feel. Those are things you could have easily cut out and nobody would have been the wiser. Life isn’t perfect and no project goes perfectly. I look forward to every video or livestream you do and cannot wait to see the finished cabin. Thanks for sharing the journey.

That sure was next to nothing and you sure made light work of tearing it down fixing it and putting it back together. Reminds me of being in the military in the mid to late 70’s we kept a lot of misc parts and it sure paid off with all those Clevis pins and other things you were short ! I was a wheel and track mechanic for six years . Nothing is worse than not having parts or tools. Rock on brother!

Andrew would be proud of that fix. Great video

Here is a short safety story. In 1971, I was in Midland Michigan wotking for a landscaping business and was a laborer always a shovel in my hand. This one job I was shoveling dirt out of a front end loader and my boss turned off the engine and said "Lunch time". I had to finish my job before taking lunch and continued working. As I was getting ready to shovel out more, heard a creaking noise and the the front end loader came down on my upright knee and trapped me there. I was stuck in the kneeling position for hours, but didn't hurt. No one was around. I was more upset that I was unable to finish the job. My boss freaked when he came back thought I was done for. I had a impression on my upper leg muscle for years where that shovel kept me hostage.
