Hi mate thanks for watching and the wishes. I’m sure it will all be fine

First of all, congratulations to you and your good lady on your engagement Steve. Great to see the old Blitz on the move, brought back so many memories looking back through the rear cab window along the bare chassis of our old ex-army truck which we converted into a crane for the woods. It had a Canadian Ford V8 in her when it arrived but the fuel consumption was horrendous so we ripped her out and put a Ford-D (basically a Fordson Major) engine in her. In 40+ years of HARD use in the woods, that old beast had 1 engine & 1 transfer box replaced, you couldn't kill her. I notice you have a Massey Harris with (I believe?) a petrol/TVO yolk in her, would love to see you do a 'Will it run' on her mate. Keep up the videos Steve, hope your viewers keep growing and your dream may well come true🤞🤞👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I will do an episode on that one again but if you want to, go back early in my videos and we are doing a first start on the Massy Harris after it was sitting for years and locked up.

Yeah mate I don’t think many of those old British trucks had big power but very reliable and built well. Keep Going and going I’m sure

Justify sorting it out to use it as a yard tug, and because your viewers seem to like it. When did it last go to a show?

Hi Neil. I actually been thinking, I have a small Hiab crane that I recently bought that I’d like set up for when I’m doing tractor engines. I may mount it to this blitz, just so it’s being used really. Last show was 2009 for this one I think

You badly need a gymble for that camera, I nearly had a dizzy spell watching the vision, I would have liked to watch it all but it made me feel crook

I know they do mate. They trying to slow me down but it won’t

If I heard it right if not I'm sorry But it puts for your mom And especially if it was your grandfather's I would still fix it up If it means the world to you that's what I would do if I had the money

We like it better how it is. I have a lot of his old stuff here. This is only one of them. It’s been sprayed to stop rust spreading

Just started watching your channel so far your videos are awesome. Looking forward to watching all of them.
