After 73 years the condition of that tractor is amazing. It must have had some good owners during its life. It was nice to see that it is still being looked after well.

sweeet find! Enjoyed all Videos so far of this Tractor ! Thank you for Sharing your Projects!

I Enjoy Seeing Old Tractors Come Alive, and I appreciate you going through the Methodology of the Maintenance. Well Done.

I’m so glad I found this channel, I love the fact that you maintain and keep things running. I’d rather see something that has a bit of history and runs instead of something sitting in a scarp yard or rotting in a field sadly

Nice tractor thanks for sharing

I live in the US, have been into tractors since as a boy I lived on my Uncles farm. Now in my 60’s I regularly go to organized antique tractor & small engines events in my area. I bring my own stuff, buy sell and love to talk tractors with other enthusiasts. I do my share of watching utube for rigs that are new to me. You deal with old but runnable European examples that are quite fascinating! I have revived similar old implements and odd things but your machines I would never see over here. Your channel is very relaxing and interesting at the same time! You have a nice vibe and you like to share your passion with the rest of the world. Thankyou

We may need this technology again in the future. I imagining a scenerio like this; Once the bulk of fossil fuels are gone . Agriculture will be mostly small farms again. Being powered by human, horse, cow, wind and solar. After harvest some of there corn, or soy crops is set aside to make oil to drive a tractor and wagon to the nearest steam powered rail road, to take there goods to market.

My father had a BM20 tractor and I use to drive it very often, but my father started it.

Very happy to have found this channel. I didn't even know engines like this existed. Extremely cool. Thank you for the look back in time.

Love old machines. I drive a fuel truck for the local farm co-op, and I see a lot of rusty old machines sitting in fields and sheds, all of them not in serviceable condition. Nice to see some working instead of rotting.

Exactly. Machines like to work even old ones. Keeps them living longer.

My grand parents emigrated from Sweden in the late 1890's to homestead in Canada. Visited some relatives in early 2000's in Sweden. Really amazed that you can make a living on the size of the Swedish farms that we saw. Love to see more videos of your equipment and farming methods. Real pleasure to watch you work!👍👍👍

Excellent! Thank you so much for uploading this piece of tractor history. It's very well made to still be so reliable, provided you attend to her many maintenance needs! Very brave of you to drive it rather than trailer it! But I think you know her well, so you knew she would make it! Thank you once again from an English Farmer.

Love see old iron tractor runs better then new ones

Lovely spring day with old tractor, old Opel car and a successful retrieval, all good👍!

Watching you prepare that tractor to run and starting it then putting it through it's paces is just fascinating. I really appreciate those of you who have these things sharing them with those who are interested in them. Excellent video.

The pump would have eventually refilled it, but running a completely irreplaceable engine dry until then is just not a good plan. :)

I've read that the US army, in WW2 days, put farm boys in tanks, because they knew engines. If you can make a tractor work, you can make a tank work.

Wow it took me back to my childhood of the 1950s, dad would take me to work on Sat Sundays, he dug tunnels and in the compressor shed was a line on Consolidated Pneumatic compressors from the USA all shining with the oily rag polish constantly given them by the attendant. Lube oil sight glasses, grease cap being filled, belts being listened to, the note changed when they needed adjusting of course you needed to be an expert to know the note. My uncle retiring his Shire horses from ploughing to a life of cart pulling and resting in the orchard, when the Brand new Ferguson tractor arrived in it's grey livery. My first job on leaving school driving a Fordson Major, crank start, petrol start and paraffin for running (TVO) tractor vaporising oil. Cast iron grill, metal seat but fitted with a deluxe cushion of a hessian sack folded just right. Those were the days when a tractor driver drove a straight line by eye, not a GPS hands free gizmo. Thanks for taking me back, stay safe.

Fascinating machine, thank you for the video. It makes me appreciate the paltry maintenance needs of my 50 year old machines, something I still manage to complain about.

To many people, these days, having to spend 20 minutes pre-heating the engine might seem a very long time - but there's nothing to stop the driver from doing something else while waiting; and it's still VERY much quicker than feeding, grooming, and harnessing up even one horse (yes, I've done it, so I know!). You must look at vintage machinery in the context of the time; in their day, tractors like this were a big step forward.

Great Videos , Very Glad I Found These !

In my youth in 1965 I learned how to operate an old similar engine for a fishing boat, with a top, which had to be heated to red before being started with compressed air! And sometimes going the wrong way - and how to change direction then.

I started to giggle when I realized just how hooked on this old iron U are .. ;-}

I bought a 1936 A John Deere when I was young. It had a 2 speed transmission with a Hi/Lo shift. The engine ran about 1100 RPM and would run about 5 MPH in high range/hi gear. That was a slow drive into Denison, Tx.

Yeah it's a bit complicated; it's a rotary pump with separate metering for each cylinder and you can even control the action of the sprayers. The engine produces its peak power at 900rpm which is quite fast for a hot-bulb oil engine.

Very fun to watch, bring back childhood memories. 🧒 This since my uncle had a BM20, and I remember the complex start up procedure with kerosene torch. (but were there not another cover over the metal plugs, which covered the flames from torch? (maybe I am wrong, it was waaay ago) And also remember when it sometimes started backwards, but with some delicate turn on the injector levers it stalled, bounced at the compression and started the correct way.👍 At home we had an IH B-275 with electric start, just glow and start. We actually still own that tractor, and yes: it runs! 🙂
