    You just never know who your audience might be....lol. Here I am a 60 year old lady, kindergarten paraprofessional in small town New England USA...and I just watched this entire video about repairing an old massy tractor/digger.....and I enjoyed it ! I'm no farmer, but my grandfather was and he was a crack mechanic...could fix and build anything. Most of the machinery on his farm he built himself from scraps and parts off of old vehicles...including...a tractor, cultivator, snow blower, and a roller thingy he used to compact his driveway. I have no interest in machinery per say....but I do so love seeing old things made new and so that's probably why I'm so interested...and....I love farmers....you fellas are so creative and smart about a lot of things. If this world were run by farmers we'd all be a whole LOT better off ! Anyway....love your vids...looking forward to the finish of this digger as well as that old cottage !

    I cant believe my luck finding these videos of the 50B!
    I bought one myself about 3 years ago and at the time, I lost interest in it as I couldnt get anyone to help me or spend the time doing her up. Then I bought a little compact tractor and the 50B (or Big Bertha as we named her) has sat in a shed ever since.
    Now, I am very excited to get stuck into doing her up. Im not a mechanic of any kind. Im a vet with a love of hardship and figuring stuff out, trying new things and learning (usually the hard way) as I go.
    Having your videos for a direction, tips and filling in a lot of the missing blanks is a god send.
    Thank you so much, I'm delighted to have found these videos!

    Another great video Adrian as I mentioned in part one I'm a massive fan of older vehicles and machinery and spent many happy years working on all sorts of stuff. The Massey Ferguson brand is close to my heart as my Dad worked on a farm for 40 years and his first tractor was a TE20 petrol paraffin grey fergy and over the years went up to a 135 etc etc. Where we lived at the time the Massey Ferguson factory at Banner Lane in Coventry was only around 7 miles from us and now and again you would see the trucks and trailers taking the tractors all over including to the docks to be shipped worldwide. Happy days looking back and having great memories. The young lad you mentioned has my best wishes and hope he makes a full recovery and well done you for dedicating this video to him. I'm looking forward to the next installment and keep up the great content 👍👍

    There’s probably also a fine gauze filter in the top of the diesel lift pump under the little dome top. Looking at the diesel filters it’s probably fairly ok but no harm to check
    Also for the third service on the loader probably the easiest option would be to add an electric diverter the same as a tractor loader rather than trying to get a 3 lever valve chest

    Great words at the end there Adrian. Do it for the love - not the liked. Funnily enough I think you’ll find the likes will follow :). All the best - from Manchester, UK. (City boy)
