Really inspiring! You work really hard but keep everything simple and cost effective. It's nice to see your skill progression throughout each project too.
I have a similar tractor; L225DT with the same front end loader that is in similar shape that yours WAS in. I want to restore it and this video gave me to inspiration to finally do it. Awesome work. Looks brand new.
WOW!😲 What an incredible restoration! Looks like a new Kubota!🚜 You never cease to amaze me at your talents! My husband was a heavy equipment mechanic so I know what all it takes, the knowledge you have and the time you put in to restore this tractor! So proud for you! ❤👍
Very impressed! You learned and understand your tractor at a level few owners ever do. Congrats and hope to see you build a enclosure for it. Again, just terrific! Ray
First, is there anything you are NOT good at? I'd love to know. Second, it is a mystery to me why you don't yet have a hair/beard care or Puma sponsorship by now.
Neato! I just bought a 1978 L245DT, and it could use some restoration love too. I’m already using it around my small farm. Mine won’t be torn down any more than I can put back together in a day or two, since I’m using it as I go. Thanks for the inspiration A few questions: What did you use for the blue paint? How is your exhaust routed? Mine has a stack. I like yours out of the way, that seems nice Where is your hydraulic tank? Mine is attached to the vertical arm of the loader under the control valve.
I'm a big fan of these old Japanese tractors. I have an L275 that i am restoring as I write this. they make a sandblaster that is a pressure washer attachment. you can just run play sand through it for 5-6 dollars/50 lb bag. this is how i cleaned/am cleaning my parts. I then go over it with POR 15 to neutralize any rust. Also, I found a guy on ebay that remade every decal for me to very exacting standards. I have a good bit of money invested. How many spray bombs did. you use?
I loved your work on that tractor. I am in love with the kubota brand, but in Brazil it is not common. I have a small tractor, but from a brand called Agrale. What matters is that we have help working in the field, right?
200 hours....ughhhhh. You used the same paint on the manifold as the engine it appears? You have any burnoff? Also, can alternators not be painted? I may have screwed that up if the answer is no
Well, i dont see a Restoration...just a fresh up on the paint and some rust....still old internal parts....at least change all the Oils and filters....

This was so amazing and it’s awesome that an old tractor was restored if even for the sake of slightly longer historical preservation.
I agree! Thanks so much!
I love the projects you do, such a good lesson.....reduce, reuse, recycle, rather than always buying new expensive stuff
Thanks! I really appreciate it! 😄

Absolutely incredible work, Simon!!
Thanks man! 😄
Excellent job!
Very nice job keep up the good work!
Thanks! 😄
Looks good but you shoulda scrubbed the tires and coated them with tire dressing for the final reveal.
True! That’s would have looked great!
Nothing says restoration like a rattle can paint job in the backyard!!
Super job! Ready for another one? I'm looking to hire. Thanks!
Thanks! 😄 haha it was fun but I’m not wanting to do another one for awhile lol!
First, is there anything you are NOT good at? I'd love to know. Second, it is a mystery to me why you don't yet have a hair/beard care or Puma sponsorship by now.
Thanks! Haha, not sure, but If anyone has a sponsorship available let me know!
Nice work
Neato!

Thanks! 😁good luck with yours!

Good job but some tyre shine would be the cherry on the top.
Very true!! 😂
Radical! Big tractor for not so big property or am I missing something in the back story?
Thanks! 😄 I have 2.5 acres but I am constantly doing projects and I wanted this tractor to save my back and cut down on the amount of digging by hand.
Beautiful!!! But it's the wrong color now
Good job, do you mind telling me what sander and grit sandpaper that was you were using? I have 3 old tractors I'd love to restore
I guess never heard of tire shine.
Haha 😂 the tires were in rough shape and would get all muddy the first time I used it so I figured, what’s the use. 😊
True, but they would look really good for just a few minutes. Your tractor does look good tho.
How did you rember where all nuts and bolts go
Great restoration. But couldn’t watch it given music background
Thanks! Sorry to hear that.
I goth a 185 in good kondisen
