- My son Toby is constantly asking if we can start my machines when we go to the forest, so today we start my entire fleet of vintage machinery and line them up in the order they appeared on UA-cam.

The Hitachi excavator will always be what I see as the matriarch of the channel. Still one of the best resurrection videos on UA-cam ever. Parked because all those years because a steering linkage pin fell out.
I picked up on you saying you went back and gave the farmer a wee bit more money. That's also a good lesson for your son to learn. Being fair and doing right by people. 👍👍👍
That’s a great question 🤔 I found myself walking back into the grocery store after I got to the car and realized that they didn’t charge me for 4 cans of kombucha and after returning the cashier said “ thanks for being honest” I’m 62 and when you asked this question I thought about my own kids telling them to always be honest and fair ❤️🤙🏼💯 LOVED YOUR QUESTION!
@@CSWmanofsteel Good for your 'soul' and your heart.!
Couldn't shake the Aussie anxiety of there being snakes and spiders under every tarp. What a brilliant video, love you work Marty!
😂
😂 I was over on the Goldie for a winter break from the #*";: cold over here,and while setting out on the balcony at the motel I was staying at one evening these thing's kept flying by,so asked the sister in-law what they were ,she said Batts, they're in the tree's around the corner,Next morning I was crawling around under the tree's etc trying to find them ,when the Kiwi manager asked.what you doing.looking for Batts I said, bloody hell he said there's probably snake's.certainly poisonous spider in there,this isn't NZ 😅 there is a pretty big spider I pointed out, really nice yellow and green, freaking heck he said 😅 must have been a bad one,
Not an Aussie
Me and my dad put our money together 4 years ago when I was 16 and bought an old Leyland 270 tractor. Ever since then I've been learning more about these ancient machines.
But the best thing was the feeling I got from spending the winter tinkering at it with my dad.
I'm glad your young fella will hopefully grow up having the same interest and the same wonderful memories.
Much love from Ireland man, keep at it.
Almost nothing like wrenching with the Old Man.
@@MrPhotodoc My old man beat the hell out of me when I was around 13, for breaking off a couple of wheel studs on his Plymouth Fury. He neglected to tell me the driver's side had left-hand threads. My mistake, his fault, but you couldn't tell him anything. That was the last time he and I ever worked on anything.
@@tetedur377Sorry to hear that, what a terrible reaction considering the left-hand threads. How could anyone NOT do that mistake?
My six-year-old daughter absolutely loves my old tractor and backhoe. It's great to see them so enthusiastic so young.
I've been waiting for this. The time when the knowledge begins to transfer. It's a special moment. I hope you and your wife enjoy these moments.
How I wish my dad had taught me ANYTHING other than how to start a case of beer.
Parents managed pubs, the smell of stale beer set the rest of my life.
I hear ya 😢
Never too late to learn! Especially with guys like Marty and Mustie to show us the way!
@@paulcooper9135 Yep, both good to have around.
@eltsennestle998. Thats not very nice, no respect for your father? Maybe he didn't have skills to be able to teach you. If not for him, you wouldn't be here.
Thanks for the update on past projects. I hope they all started again so you could clear your driveway.
Haha yes they did, I was thinking the same when lining them up
LOL
Teach them young and make it fun. That is how you have the next generation that can work on things and not have to waste money paying someone.
Marty, you are a treasure. Your little boy will remember these times with warmth in his heart for the rest of his life. Thank you for a wonderful video, sirs!
All good Marty, you got great memories captured forever, nice to see the wee man hanging out with dad and enjoying himself.
Very good video, I especially liked seeing the little fella tagging along as well as the little daughter. You're a great Dad for including them. I seen all the videos of you getting all the equipment up to speed. The dog is a good one. Thanks for teaching all us viewers how to get most any vehicle or mowers or equipment up and running.
Don't forget the stroppy ram !
His face lit up on the engine starting . Real good stuff.
Luckiest kid in the world right there, great work teaching the next generation Marty. At 35 im still excited to learn new tricks from my old man.
you are right with a handsome DAD
Me too. But gone now !
Ahh the smile on your boy's face when he reached down and started the first machine, those days - well look they last forever in life as he grows, but at that age mate, it brought a tear to my eye.. my boys are all grown well past the age of innocence now, just a little daughter left to get those glances from now.. Great time, what a great time to spend with the littles. Thanks for sharing this one!
'24 volt, just like the old digger' - a natural. Time for his own channel
The grandpa in me loves having the children involved.
I won't lie - the dichotomy of watching you guys bang around in the "summer" and having Christmas while we have snow on the ground right now never gets old.
Good job the wife wasn’t round Marty to see all your machinery together in one place,nice to see the kids helping Dad out. Thanks for the video Marty.👍👍
Kids, dogs, old machinery running, that calm matter of fact kiwi voice … works for me mate. That’s quite a menagerie. No machine left behind.
Like my dad would always say you want to ride that mini bike or snowmobile then you go get it running and with a like help from dad and a lot of trial and error we did it due to our persistence. So glad to see you and others getting their kids outside and now involved. Thanks again for another great video as well !
I am 75 and still remember working with my dad when he did a woodworking project. I worked with him and learned how to operate some heavy equipment such as bull dozer and road grader. I have never run equipment since but belive I still could. His biggest lesson was to honor my word. Good to see you teaching your kids.
What a day for Toby! He will remember this for the rest of his life. Every little boys dream came true for this lad.
Wouldn't be right if I didn't tease you a bit about your fleet Marty. I thought you were lining everything up for a yard sale on Mum's orders 😂
LOL
It's good to start them when they are young, also looks like he's a future cameraman.
He is fascinated with the filming / editing process and wants to make movies
Hi Marty, good to see you’ve got Toby the managing director out there to give you a hand. Always good to teach kids before they get too old and I don’t want to listen to you any more. Wonderful to see young fellas so keen. Keep up the good work videos cliff from over the ditch at Logan City, Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 .
Teach them while they're young. My father taught me how to do many things when I was young and at 71 I relish those days.
Ditto.
Marty, I've watched you restore machines over the last few years but it never occurred to me that you'd keep them all.
Awesome, lucky kids.
Now you need to crowdfund a big shed and some more batteries.
The little Kubota is so adorable. I can’t wait for more vids on that baby!! Certainly my most favorite machine of the fleet!!!
That’s so cool that hen flows you around . It will have plenty of bugs to eat.
He’s a lucky lil fella! I remember the day my dad taught me how to start his old Chevy pickup back in 67 with me being five. Only problem was he ran into the house for something and I started the truck and dropped it in reverse then into drive just as we hit the end of the driveway. There was NO brake needed to put anything into gear back then. Anyway he came out just in time to throw it in park as I got back up to the steps of our back porch! Any they say you can’t possibly remember that far back especially it now being 56 years later… oh I remember it quite clearly. Teach him well my friend, he’ll be a great helper and mechanic/tech someday if he chooses to follow in his dad’s footsteps. Thanks for taking us along.✌🏼😉
Thanks Mart very interesting for me. I remember as a kid during the 1940s and 50s we used to go to the A & P Show at the Westport Racecourse and clamber all over the brand new machines there. I was always impressed. Also, during race meetings we got sacks of thistles for the race horses and took them there to the stables, for a couple of 'bob', from the trainers. My Dad, a former longtime seaman, didn't learn to drive until in his 50s, Us kids were all licensed drivers long before him, i got my licence in 1955 at 15yo. We rode motorbikes as young guys, and we all had 303 rifles. It was common for us to ride our bikes to Charleston with our rifle over our shoulder, where we would go hunting up the Nile River or up Mount Baldie, where we would sleep the night in the bush. I went in the NZ Army at 21, and served abroad in an Infantry Battalion. Regards. Bob. 1RNZIR. God Save New Zealand.
Giving the young fellow a good start in life Marty. Better than any school can do for him.
The grader was one heck of a return to operation, as the transmission was a wreck & a half!
Always nice to see father passing down his knowledge to his children.
Here in the Southern CA we were going through the covid thing with no students at the Middle School, trying to do school over Zoom. I found your channel and it gave me an incentive to keep going when school was in such a dysfunctional place. Working in all weathers through intractable problems you have been such an inspiration.
You have so much wood, you should build more shed space, the condensate is killing anything metall under a Tarp. Just burry some 200liter barrels and fill them out with concrete, add a plate with a spigot, get raw wood, debark them with a handheld planer, drill the end, lift it on the spigot and stabilize with boards, add beams and boards and finally get roofing Metall on it, 2 weeks should be enough to make the foundations pillars and beams, crossbeams you gotta saw
That's quite the fleet. Your skills on keeping them all running/ usable is amazing. So great that you can pass along your knowledge to your kids... a cute cast of characters -
Well done father and son. Please consider wearing safety glasses or goggles when working with battery connections. I had a battery explode on me when I was a young apprentice. I got lucky and a good lesson was learned.
We all know you moved them in order to mow the grass around the area they are sitting. 🚜 But you made it a learning experience for your children.
All dog want to go for a ride! Lol
Great to see the fleet still alive and working. Keep up the good work, reviving these old work horses.
As a Yorkshire lad, I have to favour the David Brown tractors made just up the road from me. I didn't know that David Brown owned Aston Martin for some while, hence the DB6, etc. Great job educating the kids!
Hi Toby and Marty, great to see you starting Toby so young , never know when his knowledge will come in handy or what it will blossom into. Many thanks from UK.
You’re a great dad and the dog has a great life out there.
I was so proud when my son first started the lawn mower, trouble was he did not cut the grass.HAHAHA
"No computer in this one. That's why it starts so easy.". LOL. So true. Old iron is the best iron!
The old engines have a lovely unique sound to them.
Great to see you get all the old machines out that we’ve enjoyed watching you bring back to life over the years & looking forward to the future vid titled ‘Teaching my son to drive them…’
I had forgotten about the grader I'll have to watch it again.
1:40 “60 per cent of the time it works every time” 🙂
😆
Fine collection of unrealized part's and equipment.
Marty your a very Rich man with the love of your family and toy barn.
Kid's seem interesred in your hobby farm.
Excellent video mate.
General Patton's dog seems to have a keen interest in the machinery.
Half an hour on Saturday morning with marty and his son doesn't get anybetter than this !!!!😊
Mrs T, you're a saint.
Toby is a chip off the old block. I did a 4-wheel brake job on a Honda Civic last week with my 25-year old son. We restored lawn motors and Honda scooters when he was little. Even had him negotiating sales at 11... he got the profits so he played hard ball. He is a natural mechanic, but pursuing a modeling career in LA. Go figure. When Toby's a teenager he may turn away, but he will never forget these lessons. Marty, you're doing the right thing giving him a firm mechanical foundation to build from. A good mechanic/technician will be more valuable than a brain surgeon in 30 years. And his generation will truly need his skills.
They're all beauties! I love to see you sort out the problems on these old machines. Thank you for showing us the fleet, mate!
Your kids most fortunate although they may not think so now. Such a resourceful and patient man, my heart sank for you when you did the grader with the knackered chain, I really thought you would have to scrap it but!!!!!!!
Quite the fleet and your kids learning from the best.
When you started the little ‘dozer, the automatic closed captions said “[music]” and when you started to drive it they said “[applause]” which I thought were perfect, because the engine starting was music to my ears and you deserved a round of applause when you proved it moved! Fantastic video which I really enjoyed. Keep doing what you do. Admiration from the UK!
Sweet! Your own personal ... traffic jam! I've enjoyed all your videos, I think I remember most of them just from looking at parts of those engines.
Shades of - " could you move the Camira? I need to get the Torana out so I can get to the Commodore."
😂 its a bit like that
Really enjoy the teaching moments with your kids
Your camera people are amazing!! What your kids are learning no school teaches!! Experiences for life!!
And I thought I had a great time growing up with the Tonka versions in my sandbox.
Your kids are going to have a blast!
Marty. Don't be dismayed if your kids wind up doing something totally different to you, that's just the passage of history.
What they will have is a great appreciation of the logical process, the results of determined effort and the satisfaction of being self reliant.
That's awesome You are teaching your kids how to make things work and run, On the cheap. God bless you. You should sell the ones that you don't use, To fund other revivals.
A boy and his dog! How much better does it get!
Nice to see the fleet get some attention. Wonderful to see kids learning and happy to be involved.
How cool would it be to do a series of children's books with all the machinery and boats as characters that you and your family brought back to life.
A great little helper you have there , brings me back to the 70s , under a tractor passing my dad spanners and so on , as he teached me as we fixed stuff
Lucky boy to have you as a Dad...love all your projects
I had already guessed that your laddy loved the grader, the look of pure joy when you and he were riding it was a picture. He's obviously a fan of the bigger stuff. Your little girl is always interested in all the machinery too, that;s very healthy and unusual! Thanks for another fine video Marty!
Great that the kids are involved and learning the basics, plus the bonding within the famiy. for future purchasing, you can bame the kids and put it down to education needs lol
We are homeschooling now, I try to add some practical learning to their curriculum
I really appreciate you spending time with the children. I wish I would’ve with my boys more. They turned out pretty innately mechanical. Looks like warm weather there. Great how you get and keep old equipment, giving them new life.
Delightful! Quite the fleet, and that is one bright boy!
I won’t be terribly long before we see one of the kids operating the equipment. While dad is supervising from a lawn chair .
Super. We lived in the bush when we were kids on the outskirts of the city. When they were making roads we used start up and drive the graders and tractors after the workers had knocked off. We watched where they left the keys. We were between 8-10 I reckon. Great times. Thanks for the memory.
Your little kids are more observant than my 15 year olds 😂. You definitely have them on the right track 👍
Great collection of machines. Personal favourite is the orchard tractor just love the engineering put into making that forward control work. Brilliant collection, looking forward to seeing what forest discoveries you'll find this year.
@5:22 - That chook "noped" it right on outta there!
😂
Quite the collection. Amazing what you can bring back to life.
Always a delight to view your videos, Marty! Thanks so much! Your wife is a wonderful patient person to allow you to have such a fleet of machines - they all work thanks to your expertise. Great to see you share your knowledge with your son and the woofer is quite the character, wanting to get into everything with his pack! 🙂
I had a DB 990 qhen I was dairy farming. Great tractor that always started easily even in the extreme cold.
Marty your channel is a gift. I'm so thankful I've found you, your family and your amazing lifestyle. I love how the dog is always all smiles. Watching your videos from cold Lithuania, NZ is definitely on my bucket list :)
Start em young with the learning! Nice.
Hi Marty 😊 hope you and your family are well mate ❤
It's a good thing you ran out of machines Marty because you're running out of road to line them up on. Great video thumbs up.
Never too young to learn.
Add a bit of “start ya bastard” that’ll get anything going
I love how the dog is always in the middle of the action too , such a friendly pooch 😊.
Great idea to teach the boy to be a videoagrapher. Nice video!
Marty it's great to see you and your boy on machines my Dad was the same said you have to learn things he was so right. thanks for the videos to Remind me
Awesome mate, my mum and dad taught me when I was young. It sets you up to deal with everything in life.
Your kids are obviously up for it :-)
Ditto and you don’t know how much you learnt till you come across someone who thinks you can fix everything with Sellotape and a hammer. 😀
Glad to see a new generation of machinery maintainers brewing, someone needs to keep the old gals goin long after we leave
G'day again from across the ditch.
It's been great watching you fix up these pieces over the years, and it goes to show you don't always need whiz bang new machines to do what you need.
And to think i found your channel by watching the old Angry Ram videos hahaha
Definitely a father son right of passage.
I was an Apprentice Brake Bleeder for my Dad! I pushed the Brake Pedal!
Unexpectedly, another great video. But this one was really unique with the inclusion of your kids.
I think you should do this type of gig every 4 months or so so we can follow their development. You’re cool; they’re cool.
G'day Marty.
Always good to look through the collection.
I'd say most of us are looking forward to see what pops out of that fertile NZ earth .
The white bull terrier is a beautiful dog ,had one just the same as a kid ,was a real character.
Respect....!
My son was not quite 3 and he climbed in the cab of my IH 1066 and started cranking it over lol
Glad you are teaching your son about old school equipment for his future
Yo Marty.... totally amusing video.
"Fleet" is euphemism for "resume"!!!
