- I bought this unique looking David Brown forward-control tractor a few months ago, it was advertised as not running so I expected it would be only good for parts. I got it running in the previous video - • Salvaging an Abandoned... .. this time I'll give it a full service and take it for a long drive to see if any problems show up...

"Lucky I stopped it with my head before damaging the tractor" Classic!
I was just about to make exactly the same comment 😂
Heads will heal but old tractors are priceless
@@018CCHC took the words right out of mouth 😂
Heads take a beating when working (fun) with equipment 😂
That was using your head 😂
It's so lovely to see you working with your 'apprentice' Toby, Marty. He'll remember these moments for the rest of his life.
Gotta say Toby's quite the sharp cookie and seeing you two working together is an absolute treat!
Practical education is the best investment a child can get. Patience parents are the best teachers. Toby is really lucky.
Just hang on to your memories of those wonderful father-son moments while he outgrows an irksome adolescence. Your blood pressure will be much lower.
I agree with all these comments. I have really enjoyed watching him all along. Even when he was younger, we could see his interest in everything that was an interest to Dad. Very heartwarming! Two lucky guys.
Learning more life skills here then he’ll ever learn in school, that’s for sure!
Father and son together, with the father imparting his knowledge onto the next generation. What a wonderful thing to behold.
The tractor is an odd looking beast, but it sounds absolutely fantastic and very innovative. It was fascinating to hear about its history and how ahead of its time it was. I couldn't help but feel that the body deserved a full restoration as this is clearly a part of New Zealand mechanical and agricultural history.
A splash in the face is worth a like for sure marty
Looks like a prop from Space 1999
It must be so nice to have built this beast of a tractor and decades later to see it get such good care from its newest owner.
Since watching your channel I don't think I've seen so many David Browns outside the UK of that 60s-70s era. Like the additions of the 2 little apprentices.
I remember well my "apprentices" when they were young. The projects always took twice as long with their "help". Now they have their own "apprentices" which I borrow from time to time to help out around the place.
5:45 😂😂
You took a spill in a face when that bottom case dropped and then took it again just for the reshoot lol
I admire your dedication Marty and thank you👍
That beast is a testament to human ingenuity. The local history was a nice bonus. That bad boy deserves a new cab that won't decapitate you, mate. LOL Cheers from Alberta, Canada.
Two apprentice mechanics today, your son did a good job and the pup sorted that box out pretty well. Nice acquisition there, well done.
Wait until he says, "can i have the keys to the tractor dad, I've got a date tonight!"
Out in the country working on an old tractor with your young son and a young pup, pretty good life you have there. 👍
That "action reenactment" @5:45 shows dedication to your subscribers... well done.
Master Tech has to sweep the floor for pootin' in the shop and oiling up the place, apprentice gets to go home early 🤣 Motor sounds very good for its age, what a cool find!
That power steering filter looks absolutely amazing now. So satifying to get that so clean!
Just opened this in bed, my partner said o dear god give me strength.
Hahaha so did my Miss 😂
They just don’t realise it’s a ‘man thing’
The cutest moment: Toby patted the tractor and then said "Good ol tractor". OMG! So adorable!!! 😍
That was great, the final overhead looked like some machine exploring a new world. Great seeing your boy getting into the spirit and it appears there's a new, four legged member of the family to watch grow. This one ticked so many boxes, thanks from afar.
I love listening to the conversations with your son. You: "That shouldn't be like, that should it? Him: "No it shouldn't!"
Great that the old photos had been kept. Just shows it's worth photo recording "projects" 🙂Jim Bell (Australia)
You can use a mechanic's scissors (ball pein hammer) and tap the hammer on the gasket lightly along the edges, and it will cut the gasket without damaging the surfaces. The ball end is useful for bolt holes, etc.
Look at that filter housing with Glytol red inside! Wow from 1971 winner winner chicken dinner! Good Job Marty it's a really cool tractor!
English Bull Terrier?!! I was lucky enough to spend 15 years of my life with mine years and years ago. He was the funniest dog I ever had. I still think about old Teddy at least once a week. One time he ripped open a beanbag chair. They were full of little Styrofoam balls, and when I came home his eyes were covered with them and I'm sure he thought he'd gone blind. I brushed them off in two seconds and you'd never seen such a happy dog! He destroyed everything. I'm pretty sure you and your family are going to have a lot of laughs, hopefully for a long time.
😂 Yes I've always liked the breed, they are clowns
Rule of thumb used to be 22lbs in the rears,30 in the fronts,lowered to 15 in the rears when ploughing etc,to get more grip.1960's in 🇬🇧👍👍
The old DB sounds as good as new. Remember when the new tractor arrived on our farm. Your boy is getting the best possible apprenticeship.
Nothing satisfies me more than when Marty says: ''The ol David Browne''
It's amazing that the person who built it originally saw your video
5:45, I love that you added/left that in. Your sense of humor is top notch man.
A re-enactment, based on a true story 😉
That is so cool that you got the history of when it was converted. 1:58 with his head! 😳🤣 Cool new puppy, he and your apprentice should grow up well together. Great channel Marty. Thank you for the videos. 👍
Can't wait to see a lawn tractor revival with Toby. My father took me along with him when he fixed anything and it made a huge impact on my life. Warms my heart to see you two working together.
Little man is growing like a weed!! So cool to see you teaching him. The future is bright!!!
To make a gasket. I use a small ballpeen hammer. Use the round end and tap the gasket material on all the edges and bolt holes. This surprisingly makes a very accurate gasket.
It is great to see your son help out.
Your a good teacher.
Now when your boy said there is a lot of crap. I laughed my head off till I realized he said there is a lot of cracks.
Thanks for another great video Mate.
It's really cool that the guy who originally converted it reached out to you :) I bet he never thought that he would be watching a video about it almost 50 years later! :D
Thanks for sharing your oil bath with us. Lets me know that I'm not the only one it happens to. You don't want people think making these videos is all glitz and glamor. Great video realy down to earth.🍻
I wondered what happened to this & hoped it had been saved as an interesting relic from half a century back.
Your video is a welcome distraction, as my Mum passed away this afternoon.
Sorry to hear it mate
Fantastic seeing the kiddo give a hand, quality time with Dad and life long memories and possibly interests! Can't think of anything better for a boy.
Tusen takk for god underholdning. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯
6:17 gorgeous pup!
5:46 MONEY SHOT!
It was pretty funny you staging that. I applaud you for your comedic efforts and commitment to the bit. 🤣🤣🤣
How awesome to get the original history from the person that made it! So cool!
Toby is an awesome apprentice! He already knows the importance of hearing protection 👏👍
Too funny!!!... I almost fell out of my chair when you got a faceful of milky oil. Also, I am glad your road is finally back open!
Looks like a Grasshopper. You should nickname it "The Bug"
Cutest 2 and 4 legged apprentices of all time !
Adorable pups, human and canine alike
Hello Marty, its so refreshing following along with your videos, no racks of fancy tool boxes, mood lighting, music and ego to match, you are a genius and an inspiration to someone like me who fixes things on a budget with care and attention, to detail thank you :)
Such an awosome tractor conversion. Must save it!!! How about, rebuild the front like a skidsteer open air cage, and the back a flatbed with gates!!! I bet a farmer would love to buy it!!
No bubbles in this tractor 😂👍🏻
Nice to see you training the boy he will be able to repair anything when he is 17
Be careful Marty, if you carry on with more videos like this one, you’ll soon be relegated to third billing - behind your son and the puppy! Great video as usual
Forth position! Don’t forget Marty’s daughter! Or even fifth behind his missus.. such is the way for YT film stars. Always someone waiting in the wings to replace you. Nice video Marty, thank you. Les in UK
My first job in the equipment industry was changing oil and servicing the equipment...when I saw the water/oil mix hit your face it took me back to those years...I never did get to where I like the taste of oil nor transmission fluid...:)
My grandad used to make water pump gaskets out of cereal boxes - something I copied for my first few cars (a looong time ago)
Fun little tractor but 40 litres of oil? That's surprising. Love your little helpers (2 and 4 legged)
I think the lowered height and odd shape are hiding how big a tractor it actually is. Sure it's not a 400+ HP monster, but it's definitely a decent sized tractor.
Yep, the old cereal box gaskets have been a tool in my kit for many a year too, the old Skippy cornflakes boxes were the best way back when 👌😁
An oil centrifuge would be a nice addition. Cost is a lot, but it would save money in the long run.
Often drive past the old David Brown factory in Meltham and am always now thinking of Marty's films on the other side of the world !
Having the ultrasonic cleaner made a big difference! Much better than the old way you used to clean the hydraulic filters on the other DBs.
Everybody needs an official cardboard taster.
5:45 nice reverse shot!
24:02 this driving sequence was so good I honestly forgot that it must have taken you forever to set up each angle.
Very enjoyable to watch!
Brilliant. Couple of things. Very artsy, the extra oil facial - clever you. I couldn’t miss those “SHARP” puppy teeth as he tried out the cardboard box. Don’t miss those. Great vid Marty. Thanks
Hey Marty, that tractor would be the perfect base for a parade float! Hire out the chassis and driver! Great to see the next generation of "hauling home old stuff" guy!:) Your wife must be so excited to see that happen!:)
Love the splash shot. Massive laughs here
Another project on Marty’s todo list. Increase the headroom in the tractor cab, or remove the cab and fit a safety cage. Love your channel Marty. 😀🇬🇧
Two thumbs up for the Wix and the pup!
So funny watching your puppy tear up the cardboard boxes! My dog is the happiest when I get a package so he can violently shred it to pieces! Only thing he destroys in the house!
David Brown tractors were probably the best tractors ever built and your conversion is running beautifully Marty.
Well done👍👍👍🏴
I used to work on fruit farms in the 80's and 90's and wondered why they used so many old David Browns and Fordson's when there were other more modern tractors around.
For general everyday tasks like towing lifting and shifting the old David Browns just worked, they were no fuss no mess, simple and reliable runarounds which were incredibly simple to work on and well designed, almost all the newer tractors like Massey Ferguson and Case were compared to them and almost always found to be lacking in some way.
@@ianc4901 And the DBs always had the best traction👍👍
I have to add though, for timber work with a boughton winch on the back, an old Fordson Major were King!!
@@WeeShoeyDugless That's right, there was an area of the orchards where the only tractor that didn't get stuck was the David Brown, sometimes that was what they used to pull out other tractors that had got stuck !
Marty it nice to have a helper to show him how to take care of them and fix equipment to make it last for a long time
you have a good little helper there
I'm quite good myself at catching heavy things with my head.
I also often cool down hot things with my hands.
Marty! Love taking a break and catching up!
It's a good job that you had your helper because it was always a pain bleeding the fuel system by yourself with the filters being on one side and the hand pump on the other. That vid took me back 45+ years, another good 'un.
LOL -- glad you stopped the cab with your head before it damaged the tractor.
Love these videos, great to see old equipment revived! Last bit of service on the old tractor is nuggeting the tyres.
What a lovely bright little chap to have as your assistant.
Nice looking Bull Terrier 👍
love the bread
Good to see you've got a new helper! 🐶🐕😁
It needs Antenna and delta shaped wings! You boy is growing!
Magical moments, Toby (and his future family) will be blessed in 50 years when he can look back on all of his fathers wisdom and his childhood memories
Marty- I'm genuinely happy your boy seems to be taking an interest. That's really something special. I hope the family is well and you guys are all recovered from the storm
Show us some of the boats again! Cheers 🤙
Wasn't expecting wholesome but wasn't disappointed either.
Cool history.😎
yeah, using the cab to cut your hair is probably not the best idea.
🤣😂🤣 looks very 😎
That Pup is just beautiful !!!
your little dude is coming right along
That oil spill on the face got me good!! Hilarious 😂😂
Wow, good call with the hydraulic oil. 👍👍👍🇬🇧
Using grease to mark the gasket material is brilliant! Definitely need to remember that one
Love how your boy is working with you
Happy to see you back working on "The Thing". I couldn't believe someone put 60 PSI in a tractor tire. That was a bomb waiting to go off.
my tractor tires take 90 psi. I haven't been brave enough to put more than 32 in
Looks like a scaled down airplane tug!
All you need now is a scaled down 747 😂
Love your work and your very knowledgeable helper
awesome little beast. It needs a large home built hydraulic dumping trailer behind it (hint hint lol).
Thanks for sharing.
That is a funny lookinh contraption especially on those forest roads. Thumbs up to the assistant mechabic 👍
Toby said it best. "Good old tractor"
Amazing to get that email from the guy who converted it 50 years ago - the internet never fails to surprise me. Really interesting to read the history of such an unusual machine too.
Great video. Hug them kids every chance you get. Mine are 46 to 36. With 2 in the middle. I still hug them every chance I get.
Good to see you are having fun
Thanks for the videos
Scott
Toby very cautiously felt the exhaust pipe because he knew it could be hot. Young folks like that give me hope. Good job and heck of an interesting tractor. Sounds fantastic.
He's a good lad Marty, believe me when say it won't be long before you become his helper, they grow up so fast. 🤗👍
loving the action replay. Thats why I watch this channel. You suffer for your art. Keep it up marty.
Marty because of your channel I bet hundreds of useful old machines have been saved from the scrap yards around the world. I bought a 64 Ford 600, for some TLC and a few hundred in parts I can do the work of a new machine cost +5 times what i paid + no computers! Your son will always remember these great days with his dad.
8:35 - Cute shop rags.
Bolt some seats to the back flat portion and instant mobile party tractor ! Cheers from 🇨🇦
Every old girl like this deserves a mechanic and apprentice like you and your kid. Cheers!
I love how the service parts are still readily available for such an old machine, some might say vintage.
Apple’s definition of vintage is about 5 years old ! I took my ipad in to an Apple service centre for a new battery only to be told it is a vintage model & is no longer supported.
outstanding !! I could WATCH YOU work all day lol
Great to see the wee one giving dad a bit of expertise and a helping hand👍👍
