Please keep the videos coming. I am living vicariously through your escapades.

My Grampa used to do this to me. In the 80's when I was in my early teens. he would find vehicles like this and then make a deal, if I could get it to run I could keep it or do anything I wanted. Tractors, motorbikes,bugs, anything he would drop me off and wait. I'm the mechanic I am today because of that, and I shed a tear when that beautiful baby came to life,....fine job sir.

It's a great feeling all the same. reviving an old car or machinery then litterally driving it out of it's intended grave is so satisfying.. If you love this as much as I do, and havent already, go check out "Vice Grip garage". That guy is AMAZING. He habitually travels upwards of 650 miles to a car or truck that has been parked, broken down for 15-30 years, gets the things running....then drives them the 600+ miles back home.. With a gopro in the vehicle time lapse to prove it. We're talking seized engines here... He litterally un-seizes them and drives them home. And other cool stuff too. While I'm recommending car channels there's also "Uncle tonys garage". He's a MOPAR guy. And there's "Junkyard digs". He's a younger fellow but he loves saving old cars from the grave.

At 1st I thought it was the video of the first David Brown popping into my feed. Nope! Tractor porn, the sequel

I love this! Save the old iron!!! I got my tractor at an old nursery and it got put aside simply because she was old and they upgraded. She sat for near 30 years and became incorporated into a junk pile. I came in and got her started and rolled her out of $1000 and a chainsaw. I drove the old girl onto the trailer while standing bent over the hood while shooting ether into the air intake. She is near 9k lbs with the loaded tires, wheel weights and the loader. Was a little hairy without brakes too. Got her home and spent the next year getting her going again. No major parts involved, just a carb, new ignition components, and a radiator, new fluids... She has a burnt valve and that's probably why they parked her, but I've been using her for 20 years just the way I found her. Sure I need to tinker now and then to keep her going, but no major work, just elbow grease and willingness to keep the old girl going. Keep up the great work.

Don't know how I missed this one, such joy finding an unwatched Marty T video! So, you traipsed out to the far rear of yonder by yourself, waded through a sea of blackberry bushes, mentioned wasps- nope, nope, nope- and set to fixing a long abandoned machine. Running your finger over a rusted, deteriorating rim with a fully inflated tire probably isn't TOO dangerous... this is almost a half an hour of you doing you and I have to reiterate how happy I am to have this to watch while I eat my dinner. I can almost feel the old girl quivering with excitement at having a chance at a life beyond the meadow. Fantastic. That little jump when she went into gear, and then her first movement out to the truck made me think of shelter dogs who are going to their forever home. Thanks for another rescue, and you're right, better she spends her final days in your hands, doing the things she was built to do.

Theres quite literally 1000s of these abandonded tractors around the world waitin for some bloke to raise er up..

Happy to see another old work horse rescued. Our family's 1942 john deere 420 was in a similar place as this, but much rougher. Engine had no compression left and was drug out using another tractor. 8 months later, the engine was rebuilt, entire tractor repainted and it's more reliable then almost anything else we have!

Or the little nut on the coil wire for sure.

This was one of my favorite extractions you've done. Looking forward to the 50yr overdue maintenance videos.

That board trick is actually genius

Well done Marty . those were built to last (unlike many machines of today all electronic and needs a computer to run ) . What amazed me was how after sitting there for god knows how long you actually drove it out from the green grave it was headed for . Not sure if the PTO on that model is 2 speed . I know the "DB Cropmaster " has . Just a clean of that hydraulic filter and fresh oil and it will be good as new . Awesome video and i enjoyed watching ! Loved the sounds of native birds recorded with this video .

What a great video...I can't wait to see your video's on fixing this up new again. I went through my woods once and found a garbage can. Didn't fix it or anything. Must have been 50 years old....Keep this tracker alive by making it new again....

Its always nice to see folks saving machines like this and giving them another chance

They salvaged it

What a wonderful sound!

Well done! I love old vehicles. But I don’t fire up old engines with no pre oil changed.

that thing is beautiful. That's the kind of tractor you'd find in an oil painting.

I so appreciate the bell bird's singing in the background. I so miss that about home.

do you also find that the accent seems so much stronger when you hear a Kiwi speak and you haven't been in Aotearoa for a while?

Nice little tractor. So worth saving. Thanks for sharing 😊

Now i know how these Places out in the hills just seem to fill with old tractors and construction gear, you just fix it and pick it up. facinating.

The only abandoned machinery I ever found was a kid's bike in the bushes, but you certainly have a knack for this!

Can you still call it oil, or better pudding?

It is amazing how them tractors just run and run, and will probably outlive most of us.

Chilled abandoned for 15 years, remained fit for service... Incredible!
