Your wife's a lucky lady to have access to all these tractors. Having a live in mechanic is a bonus too. 🤭 Good work Marty, enjoyed that. 👍🏻
She’s spoiled for choice really. The trouble is deciding which tractor to use for a given task.
I think he is going to paint the rest of it pink and give it to the wife for mothers day lol
Now if I could only convince my wife that having lots of tractors was a good thing :)
@@morantaylor Years ago, in a Farming Simulator 13 forum, a guy who was playing FS13 with his daughter posted that she wanted a pink tractor. So I reskinned a Massey 6290 so it was pink and linked it to them.
@@morantaylor 🤣🤣🤣
"Where are you going today husband"? "Definitely not picking up another tractor 🚜😂
heheh beat me to it
That made me laugh out loud. Thanks.😊
Decent size eels good feed
😂
She didin’t know that married 100 vintage rusty tractors back then. 😅
I’m pleased to see someone being bloody careful about asbestos, other people I’ve watched coming across asbestos aren’t . Asbestos is deadly
Wildlife is def. something else Down Under! Hillarious Fishcam..
Didn't see that coming 😂
The will it start videos are the best! How many tractors have you breathed new life into now, Marty?
I've lost count, must be at least 8
Damn man i can't believe you are watching a Kiwi bloke find and repair old abandoned heavy equipment lol. Im looking forwards to some updates on your channel. I hope you and Yuka had a great time in Australia
BCpov.... The wife been told only 4 tractors in our possession. 😄
Class back in session, bloody good one Marty!
@@MartyT after 10 you can start calling yourself tractor doctor.
I am absolutely amazed by your understanding of diesels.
I know they are relatively simple but to walk into the brush and get a machine running is a skill.
Hats off.
It’s pretty easy.
@@thegoodguy44 Everything becomes easy after you learn how to do it.
That PINK firewall made all the difference. Little bit of lipstick woke the old girl up. Great job. Thanks for taking us along. Loved the aerial shot.
Wish these old machines could talk.
Story would be epic and sad.
Waiting for your people to come back for you as the days become months. Then years then decades...
How Marty finds a piece of junk and then makes it crawl out of the brush under its own power is incredible every time. Truly the engine whisperer!
Perhaps... instead assume the base line is the equipment will run. Is that so amazing?
@@ShainAndrews More like Marty has a good idea how to work a tired, neglected engine.He has skills, as he has proved on many occasion.
If you have amassed a knowledge of engines/machinery this isn't really that difficult. Especially if it was parked and left, not broken and left. Being covered Is a big win too. Diesels are especially happy to sit for decades, since the fuel is oil they are far less likely to rust and size internally. A gas engine, especially one that wouldn't run right and got a bunch of raw fuel or worse starting fluid dumped down it's yap then left for dead with washed clean cylinder walls rusted solid is no fun. Plus the diesel fuel itself doesn't go really bad. Fungus growth does happen sometimes but it's not as bad as dried up gas. Not saying everyone can do this but it's not rocket surgery 😂
To be completely fair old diesels don't take a hell of a lot to get going and can sit for 50 years without issue. Still awesome but not the same as getting a modern engine going.
That's English engineering for you, Makes me proud.
Surprised it didn't set on fire :D.
Hey Marty, FYI for trouble shooting purposes, the glow plugs are run in series, so a bad connection anywhere will kill the circuit. There is a glow plug indicator (heating element) to the left of the steering column. It is also part of the circuit. Mine likes its glow plugs for the first start of the day. Without them it won't start without the joy juice. There's also a filter for the hydraulic oil inside the system. It's under the big heavy differential cover under the seat. Cheers!
@@Islandwaterjet You're very welcome. The one in the dash absolutely needs to stay in the circuit as well. If you bypass it and go straight to the plugs they will see too much voltage and you'll burn them out. Ask me how I know :-)
@@Islandwaterjet The good old pepper pot glow indicator/ballast resistor. Some European tractors (Steyr T80 and T84) didn't have a cover with little holes, just one round hole in the dash, the perfect size for lighting a cigarette 😀
Hey Robin, I don't think that is correct. That would mean each glowplug would have to have 2 connections. 1 in 1 out to the next, I've only ever seen a common power rail with the body of the glowplug being the earth. Could be wrong.....wouldn't be the first time
@@duanescott5399 Look carefully, the wires going from one glow plug to the next one are not in contact, there is an insulator between them, and the whole circuit is isolated from the engine.
@@RobinWilkinson I made the very smart mistake of removing one on my 444 and testing it on a 12v battery with a pair of wires to each contact, needless to say I won't do that again after watching it glow white and melt instantly🙃
The eels are friendly caused the farmer probably feed them for years.
The tractor is really a nice deal. YOU were real lucky with an old machine. Most of the time is is beyond a quick and easy fix. I would bet the original owner really took care of the machine, PERIOD !!!!!! Nice video too Sir.
I grew up driving a B414! My cousin had one. This brings back memories of 60-some years ago! Oh, I'm in ON Canada.
Marty next time you have issues with glow plugs boil a kettle of water and pour the water over the fuel lines going into the injector's intern pre heating the fuel. Its an old Aussie bush trick
It even works on modern diesel fuel rails when you have faulty glow plugs.😎
That makes sense, nice trick
Or try a LPG / Mapp gas burner straight into the intake (heat the air).
Nice video and nice to see it was able to run after getting some time to warm up.
Great video, these old tractors could last forever with a bit of looking after
For years i had a 1953 international B275 diesel tractor. A real workhorse but parts were hard to come by. The primary fuel pump was operated by a manual pump to bleed out the fuel filter. Miwed the hilly fields of Thetford VT fir msny years.
Always a treat to see you rescue something from the weeds...Underwater filming a real bonus...Hope they didn't eat all your lunch...
Bravo - from Poland to You Marty. You are The Grait
What a charming little video! Supplies in the back of the truck, off to the site, right to work, getting the job done I could watch these videos all day long. And feeding the eels was an absolute bonus! Cheers.
Sweet! Nice find, I enjoy your channel immensely here in the States, Thanks Marty
Love the eels when I was a kid love catching them in our local stream great memories
You've got a touch of the ole mechanical genius in you, my friend. We very much enjoy your content here stateside in Virginia, USA.
Great job! I love these old machines. They are so much better than what is being produced today. I'm glad to see you saving them.
It’s just like the International tractor we had on our farm here in Tassie in the ‘70s! Some of my earliest and happiest memories are riding around on my grandfather’s lap on that thing!
That tractor was probably made in Doncaster, Yorkshire where the International factory was during the 60s/70s that I know of. It was a massive place, I had to go there about 1977/8 when I worked for an agricultural engineering firm in Durham City. For me it's great to see these old tractors being brought back to life. I watch your videos Marty thank you for doing what you do. They could stand for years like that one and still come back to life.
The early IH B series 250, 276, 414, 434 etc were made in Bradford (B for Bradford).
Did you work for Paxtons?
@@originalforgery yes I did work for Paxtons, from 1970 at 15 years old to 1979. Did you know anyone who worked at the same time?
@@kenhart6330 Allis Chalmers became another massive name globally starting in Canada not sure if ever associated with International during this time tho. Great Tractors all this era.
Did they make Nuffield tractors there as well? I think I read that somewhere.
This reminds me of the look of a Nuffield I used to drive for light work on my father's farm in the late 1970s and early 1980s. We lived not too far from Doncaster near York.
I work for paxtons now! Haha
Another great find Marty will make a great repair project thanks for sharing 🦘
Revival AND wildlife. Real bonus. Many thanks from the UK.
Way back in 88, 89, 90 ,,,, I worked in a tire shop where the farmers in the area would bring in flat tractor tires for me to fix. Didnt mind it so much until winter . They would bring em in frozen ,,, I would have to wait half a day for them to thaw out . A real pain in the ass operation. Thanks man.
Hey Marty. Greetings from the Adirondack Mountains in northern New York, USA. I love joining you in your mechanical adventures via UA-cam. You have got a terrific storey telling manner in addition to your automotive - mechanical expertise! Thank you for bringing the rest of us along. It is both enjoyable and appreciated!👍
A tractor sanctuary, You are making a tractor sanctuary... 😉😊 Well done job again..!
MARTY IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN'T FIX IT'S AMAZING WATCHING YOU WHERE DID LEARN HOW TO FIX EVERY I WOULD NEVER BET MONEY THAT YOU COULDN'T FIX IT NO MATTER WHAT IT IS
HOPE YOUR LAD STARTS DOING SAME THING IN 10 YEARS😊😊😊
This was impressive. Just came across this channel and i shall be binge watching this afternoon/evenings. Sending positive vibes from the uk.
Why am I so fascinated buy a dude in NZ fixing/salvaging old tractors 🤷♀️ these videos are awesome 😎
Marty T does difficult things. The impossible takes a little longer. Stay safe
Love to see equipment drive out of their graves!! Great job!!!!!!!!!!
Marty's Tractor Rescue and Retirement Community. I love old machines. If I were a single man, I'd be up to my neck.
I use a propane torch in a way that allows the hot air from the flame to be sucked into the intake manifold; starts a cold diesel right up.
Excellent Sunday Night watch while the weather outdoors tonight here in Kumeu is fairly wild & wet! Thanks Marty.
What a fun watch, thanks for taking us along!! Cheers!
ਇੰਜਣ ਦੀ ਅਵਾਜ ਹੁਣ ਵੀ ਠੀਕ ਹੈ। ਟੈਪਟਾਂ ਤੇ ਪੰਪ ਦੀ ਸੈਟਿੰਗ ਠੀਕ ਲੱਗ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ। ਜੇਕਰ ਰੀਸਟੋਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾਵੇ ਤਾਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਵਧੀਆ ਕੰਮ ਕਰੇਗਾ।
Lovely video. My dad has an International 474 which is maybe 10 years younger than this one. Dad is a retired farmer and has dementia, he can't walk unaided anymore, but I helped him get it running a couple of weeks ago after the winter, just needed a new battery. They really are little warriors, they never break. The look on dad's face when it fired up again, sheer glee. It was gifted to dad 20 years ago in the will of a friend of his. The friend was also a retired framer, older than dad, but he had been a WW2 fighter pilot (a group captain none-the-less) and had a farm in Africa after the war. When he moved back to the UK he bought this tractor for his UK farm and then left it to dad when he died. Dad used to rent extra fields from him for sheep and they got to know each other that way. When he was in his last couple of years I would go round to see him as a teenager and show him how to use a computer to write letters and things and he'd tell me stories from the war. Amazing how an old tractor can link you to people and events.
My grandparents have Nuffield 4/65.. the damn thing has gone trough hell and back... then demanded more and its still running and working even though it should have broken down decades ago, but it still keeps on going. 3rd lift link is holding on its dear life.. i dont know how it has not failed since there is no longer treads or really a shaft left.. the bolt is jammed 45 degree on its place and that is only thing holding it in place, while its still enough to lift more than front ends weight. Given it has been like that 20 years... yeah. I'm about to fix that soon enough... but pretty sure grandparents thought the same thing... Well these things are prime movers and never should be scrapped. If its utterly destroyed then sell it as parts not scrap!
Only really wrong with ours is shifter sometimes slips past the lugs in transmission putting it into middle lock state requiring "gentle violence" or taking the transmission cover off and back again. Chore and i'm looking solution for that, just dont want to mess anything up. Restore and maintain these beasts since they build the world and will continue to maintain it, unlike likes of Deere that absolutely hates right to repair, making it hard as possible.
Being over 40 I can relate. I learned to drive on ursus 330, basically the same machine. I love them 😊
My old 2n sat for three very wet months once and the clutch rusted so tight we could not get it to break free by any means. Glad yours came free without too much fuss. Had to split mine. Nice job saving another machine!
My clutch was stuck and I put a block of wood on top of the pedal and let it sit heating the shed it was in and then letting it freeze a few times over the course of a few months. Eventually it popped - I tried doing what Marty did but it didn't work. Anything is better than splitting the tractor!
Amazing! Well done in reviving that classic tractor! Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
That engine runs like a champ!
Those eels were amazing!!
Looked like NZ native longfin eels. Slowest growing eel species. Population is at risk, so it's nice to see a proper pond full of them. They get flipping HUGE. The official figures will say 2m and 50 kgs, but they took one a lot larger than that out of my local river when I was a kid (2.4m, 65kg) and I've heard anecdotal evidence of them getting even larger.
@@12345kermie That's interesting! Seems like eels are struggling all over the world. Here in Europe they are disappearing from a lot of places where they were plentiful some years ago. Mysterious creature!
BTW, is that a purely freshwater species, or do they live in saltwater too?
@@ivarwb4115 Classic eels - they live for anything up to 80-100 years in freshwater rivers and ponds, and then migrate out to sea to breed and die.
No-one knows where they do that.
They're a traditional food source for the Maori, and good eating, if they're from a fast running river (they'd be a bit muddy from this pond).
@@12345kermie Hi, quote from Google:- The New Zealand longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) is a species of freshwater eel that is endemic to New Zealand. It is the largest freshwater eel in New Zealand and the only endemic species - the other eels found in New Zealand are the native shortfin eel (Anguilla australis), also found in Australia, and the naturally introduced Australian longfin eel (Anguilla reinhardtii). Longfin eels are long-lived, migrating to the Pacific Ocean near Tonga to breed at the end of their lives. They are good climbers as juveniles and so are found in streams and lakes a long way inland. An important traditional food source for Māori, longfin eels numbers are declining and they are classified as endangered, but over one hundred tonnes are still commercially fished each year. No eels in Lake Taupo as it’s on the Volcanic Plateau, so no Kai Tuna! Cheers mate. Harera
@@pierevojzola9737 No, but Taupo had large populations of both Koura and bullies of various types.
I grew up in the lower North Island, and there were eels of various sorts everywhere. Not so much now.
Just what Mrs. T needs. Another blooming tractor... 🇬🇧👍
i could hardly pull a pop up camper with my Nissan frontier so i sold it and here you are towing a tractor with one. Very impressive.
Good morning from Norway
Good night from Argentina
Good morning from Finland!
'I have never seen wheels that rusted'. You should see the slurry tractors in uk that have been constantly damp with cow slurry until the day they would not atart any longer! 😅 Great episode as always.
Think the wife will notice another old red tractor ? I'll bet not they pretty much look the same and sound it too!! Best to you and fam!! And thanks for the time you take to make these!!
Eel-infested waters? Inconceivable! ;)
Marty, your "resurrection" videos are my favorite. I love it when you drive them out of their grave.
Land of the kiwi. Big aggressive eels and cabbage trees.
Hi from Canada.
Este tractor lo usábamos para transportar aceitunas, casi siempre tiraba de un remolque excesivamente cargado para un tractor tan modesto pero extraordinariamente fiable, nunca nos dejó tirados. Gracias por traernos tan gratos recuerdos.
That air cleaner was greasy but no rust. Just that forethought of a can on the exhaust made all the difference.
Your skill is amazing in breathing life back in old iron.
The tractor whisperer strikes again ! LOL
You fellas stay strong out there. Remember you got brothers here in the USA trying to look out. Well done.
Great video! I love the Marty Attenborough bit with the eels.
I drove one of those 50 odd years ago and still remember the sound. Think there was a glow plug coil thing in that hole above the lever that glowed red when ready. Really enjoyed your recovery of this and getting it driving out bro. Safe travels
I see the title, I’m 5 seconds in….Marty T will get it to start 👍
I forgot how calming it was to watch your videos Marty, those eels were pretty cool to! keep up the great revival videos!
That clutch trick was clever. Don't think I'd have thought that one up if it were me in your shoes.
I am amazed that you can get these old tractors to run. Well done Marty, your a clever man!
That part with the eel’s was awesome!
Master mechanic strikes again!Cheers from Finland!
I had a 444 and the glow plugs were a must for first start without juice. Good job Marty, Cheers from USA.😃
These tractors never die
Gas, US, size equivalent. We have a bucket attachment that runs a hydraulic pump off the front crank. There's a "brush guard" that's the low pressure fluid reservoir/ cooler. Nice upgrade if you can find one.
Your loading tools intro is pretty slick.
That tractor came out of the woods looking like an old soldier that was still holding his watch since ww2 and no one told him the war was over!! Good stuff sir!
Very good battery you brought... I had visions of it dieing...
As a bodyman of 31yrs I don’t know a lot about engines so I’m always amazed how your able to get these engines running. Knowing how each component functions seems to be most important to be able to correct them. You do great work Marty👍🙂
Well I think engineers feel the same way about making rust „disappear“.
Bodyman what is that ? You have body of a man.!! 😬
He does a great job but it's also a testament to how they made this old iron. They used high quality parts.
If you want to learn old diesels is the easiest path. They are incredibly simple with few parts prone to failure. Everything is mechanical. Most will fire up with very little effort if it will spin freely. Especially if you have ether
That engine is remarkably good, hardly any smoke and sounds sweet too, as you rightly say, a good service, some new rims/tyres and a bit of exercising and you have a working piece of equipment.
Machine still sound good, that's the very important part of any vehicle
those eels lookd like a good meal
I am from India and I have seen this tractors as a kid. Nowadays not seen as earlier they were so common. Restore it to it's former glory.
Greeting from India.
Whew some serious skills driving and bringing life back to the beast.
A pleasure to watch.
You have managed to breathe life back into another forgotten relic. That's fantastic Marty. 👊🦊👍
Perfect Mothers Day present Marty for Mrs T!!!! .... such a thoughtful gift. LOL ... I remember using a B250 in my youth back in the day for a potato farmer down at Hokitika... they were old then 45 years ago but indestructible along with the old mans MF135
The missus - "Not *another* tractor, Marty!"
Marty - "You can *never* have too many tractors!" :)
Anyway, great video as always - *awesome* footage of the eels too!
We Marty's wife see's him hooking to the trailer. She gets nervous and starts asking what tractor have you got now .😮😮😂❤😊
Good job❤❤❤
Yet another Marty magical miracle tractor rescue. Well done!☮️🤗
always a good outcome with marty...and relax
There needs to be a playlist called "Marty's Excursions", where it has all of Matry's offsite adventures
I haven't even watched the video, but these old internationals will always start
I learned from the title that this engine must have been repaired.
Watching from Arizona. Love seeing someone talented at a trade. Great video!
7:18 what a lovely surprise, friendly eels. I was always terrified of the sneaky looking fish. The teeth
Lovely job on the old beast, and thanks for showing folks the proper way of dealing with the asbestos. I've neve seen it on a tractor firewall before. Too many people laugh about it and treat it lightly, and yes, most of the serious cases were from asbestos workers (like the poor men installing the asbestos sheets in the factory) but why take a chance? The latency period can be 25 or 30 years, and who wants to find out they've got to lose a lung right when they've got grandchildren to enjoy! As an old hazmat and safety officer, I appreciate all of the good work practices you model for the community. It means a lot, mate! 👍
Not to nitpick but he filmed himself committing a criminal act. In NZ any amount of friable asbestos must be removed by a class a licensed removalist.
Regardless he wasn't masked and contaminated the area around the tractor by washing it off with water. Not that it's likely to happen but he's made himself liable for a hefty fine and possible incarceration.
You need to open "Marty's vintage tractor sales and service"
And your wife says another tractor really lol!! Love it when you can save the old iron!! Stay safe!!
Thanks so much Marty T 🙏👍✌️
Had a major 270+ item farm and equipment auction a few years back and sold all of my old iron. Wife decided we were going to keep the property since we did well on auction so had to start replacing all I sold.... Anyway the new tractors I bought will never be as good as the old iron when it comes to longevity. But, it sure is nice to get into the seat,turn the key,and unit runs for warm up. No piddling to get them going.
It's getting to the point that you could almost open a tractor museum. Another great video. Thank you!
half the fun is going over the new machine , what works and what doesn't , keeping
an idea of what's what , you can quickly get a picture of the state of things .
Good video , thanks .
Greetings from North central Illinois, USA. Best video yet, mate!
You never go wrong with Perkins diesel motor, very reliable and stable. We had two IH, one from GB and one from Germany, and the GB had Perkins motor was the best and most reliable. The german had IH own motor. Thank you for sharing your videos. God bless you and your family.
