Both could be seen on Victory Day military parades in various Russian cities each year.

I don't think there is one other person out of a million who has the confidence that they can get a "hunk of junk" like this running again.
    When I was a kid, more than 60 years ago, I "helped" my older brother restore a '31 Model A to running condition...but it was in way better shape than this truck to start with.
    Ten years later I found myself working for a car restoration shop near Cranbury, NJ, for awhile. (I had "fallen" for the owner's daughter, and he gave me the job when I needed it.) That owner (Mr.Clickner) was not a mechanic but, rather, a sheet metal genius...so, when necessary, he'd create new body panels from scratch, rather than having to find salvage parts for some pretty rare cars, like the 1915 Metz that we restored.

    I love flat heads coming back to life, AND I loved hearing that old Kubota tractor. I ran an early 1980s Kubota as a chore tractor when I was growing up, so that brought me a smile.

    Great video - one of the best yet I’d say. Super impressed how you tackled this lump of rust and got it going. Would love to see the entire truck brought back to life some day.
