You should have seen the smile on my face. I didn't believe it was going to work. I was totally amazed. The whole process of starting this tractor was almost ritual
@@OutlawAaronDo you have any specific critiques? It's running and free of rust. Maybe there are some aftermarket parts I don't recognize because I'm not familiar with the model but it appears to be in a similar state to the day it left the factory to my eyes.
Any start-up procedure that involves saltpetre-soaked blotting paper and a hammer, is the sign of a proper machine. Very excellent work all around! 👍🏻🍻
We may have to all drive Field Marshall tractors in the event of a super strong Solar Flair or nuclear weapon Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). If all the electrical devices on earth burned out at once - this thing would not care !
I guess this is where the term "Starts with a bang" comes from. Simple way to start a tractor without a handcrank or a electric starter. But you always need to have a shotgun shell at hand.
Fires first time! Thanks for watching 😁 Edit: I forgot to say it can be hand cranked too but it is about 6,000cc all in one high compression cylinder! Not for the feint of heart!
I am 62 years old, but I felt like a kid watching the starting procedures for this awesome machine! Thank you so much for posting it. Tractors and tug boats are working tools that never cease to enchant me, because, despite the intrinsic burlyness, there is something so pure and poetic in their functionality, as well as the practical forms.
What a beautiful example of an old PopPop Marshall. We used one often for threshing with the old threshing drum, elevator for stacking the straw etc. Dad used to let me light the litmus paper and strike the starting cartridge after he had set it all up. After the first start of the day it was usually started with the handle after setting the decrompresion control to maximum to give time for several fast build up turns. It was a matter of pride to start it first attempt. We also had a Marshal Crawler Tracked version, rather unusual too in our area. I was about 12 years old I suppose and I was allowed to use that one, under supervision of my older brother, for rolling, harrowing and so on. Still remember how difficult I found the gear selector levers at times. MEMORIES !.
Same here, except that I was only about seven or eight. I can still remember being fascinated by watching it being started. Happy, happy days of a farming childhood just after the war.
@@kelvinsparks4651 I know where there is a complete and original Nuffield with original tools etc. Power steering failed and it was put away many years ago in a shed. It is a shame it will be classed as scrap. Problem is its in Canada at a relatives farm. It is really too good to be scarapped , not even rusty.
Too many younger people take these stories, working memories for granted ,,now we have poorly made , impossible for parts ( junky) even cheap China made riding lawnmowers with plastic transmissions ,which become disposable ,instead of rebuildable
I’m from America and seen many old tractors from all around the world and never seen a tractor like this one! Honestly, a pretty neat and interesting tractor.
That startup procedure was SO ate up!! Designed by a great mind, and first copy built from scratch by tool and die guys. All without the aid of a computer other than the human brain. Thank you for doing this video.Im 75 and have never heard of this gorgeous tractor before.
Built in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, England. To help you Google more info, I loved this machine and was amazed to find her lovingly restored in my own village. Thanks For watching for commenting 👍🏻
My dad had just come out of the RAF when he bought the tractor. in the days when many tractors were hand cranked I think he thought this was very modern
Years ago I accidentally came across an antique tractor show in a field half a mile from where I lived. I called in and met the guy from over the road from me with his antique tractor. I had no idea that he had it. It had been in his family from new! It was a special narrow model for orchard use, tending fruit trees. Anyway, someone else at the show had a tractor that used exactly this starting procedure. He used shotgun shells that he'd taken the shot out of himself. I was amazed; I'd never seen anything like it before. Sadly, my neighbour has been gone for years now. Thanks for bringing back memories.
I'm 69, and fondly remember my orange Dinky Toys Field Marshall tractor; what a great brand name also. Incredible restoration! Thanks for sharing this video.
Kids of 1954, that's me too. I had that Dinky as well. I had forgotten but when you said orange I remembered it so well. Thank you for your part in my nostalgia journey. Thanks for watching.
Such a beatiful piece of farm equipment restored with love and dedication in the work, the machine will run for centuries Also, the shotgun starter demonstration is impressive, starting the engine without hesitation
@josephmontanaro2350 it 12, a special starter load in black powder, a slow burn. A big laugh to get one into a friend's automatic on a low light duck flight, the jet of flame is amazing 😁
Geez I'm 46 and this is the absolute coolest thing I've seen!!! I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Michigan I've seen some oldies but nothing like that thanks for the video!!!
They are good at bouncing and finding their own level on soft ground !!! Don't turn your back on it for too long as they will as you mentioned vanish in a puff of steam !!! Fantastic story and resto . Thank you for sharing it with us ❤
What a beautiful machine, thanks for sharing the start up. You can tell that old boy loves that thing, it was dang near spotless. I enjoyed this thoroughly.
What a work of art!!! The fact that its a beautiful machine and being restored like it just came out of the factory gives me joy. Plus you can tell the owner loves it and who can blame him.
That is wonderful. Its great that people have pieces of history that they can actually demonstrate to people who are interested as opposed to something in a museum which can only be looked at.
What an incredible machine. It just goes to show how far we've come in such a short time but also just how incredible the engineers were to create such a beautiful machine back before the modern process we use today to create modern machines.
It also goes to show what we have lost... they made these up to 45hp or so, and today... just take a look at what a 45Hp tractor cost... the small farm tractor has been priced right out of existence because they aren't simple anymore they are too complex.
It's a grand old tractor from the earlier days of innovation when radical ideas stood a far greater chance of being put into production by the man that had the idea in the first place. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
Well that was just as neat as you can get 😎what a great restoration of a tractor 🚜👍I loved the way he started it 👍growing up around an antique shop anything old and cool 😎 will just draw me in 🎉
Great tractor and great story. Many years ago as a child the farming community in my home town told a similar story where the driver parked the running tractor "Field Marshal" and went into the farm house for breakfast, only to return to find the tractor it in a pond alongside the road he had parked it.
She is a beauty! I liked the "start" setting on it. I have done the same thing for years with the lawn tractors that usually could use a battery. Thinking I save buying a battery until I squeeze the last start out of it.😊
Good to see old tractor working. Tractor is in really good condition and maintained. Remind me of my Grandfather. Looking ahead for video's of this beautiful machine.
What a lovely machine. I am 77 years and as a child I remember these being used daily, also the crawler version for ploughing. The exhaust ruffled the leaves far above when they went past.
Ah! Such memories. Your image of the ruffled leaves touches my heart, takes me back to such halcyon days. Thank you for your wonderful comment and also for watching.

Not only a beautiful machine but a wanderfull bonus story !!!! You waited a long time to see her run !!! I wander what your Dad might say !!! Thankyou for sharing 😉😎
I never seen a thing like this ( i am European) i am happy that my friend mentioned a machine starting like this and my phone heard it ( now its on my feed) Nice machine, well preserved for the future to drop jaws ( i love machines) this thing just made my day!
When I was a kid in Boy Scouts, are troop went to an air show, and I saw a plane start up using a blank 4 Guage shotgun round like the kind used in a boat mounted flock gun.
Aircraft technology applied to a tractor, my father had just come out of the RAF when he bought this tractor in 1947. I think the starting procedure sold it to him.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. If at all you are a reading man can I recommend 'Round The Bend' by Nevil Shute. It's a tale of taking pride in workmanship to another level. The early days of commercial aviation. A boy's fairytale.
@@charmainevandiford6622 Nicol did an amazing job on the restoration of it. They are magnificent, however this one is so special to me through the childhood connection.
@@patchthesinclair5896 the Tractor itself is magnificent but understand as I helped my Late Grand Father and a uncle farm in the summer growing up and I would love to have my Grand Fathers tractor. I think it was a Massey Ferguson 135 gas I think ad that was many years ago and the first one I drove. Maybe 8 or 9- and they would let me turn around at the end of the field and it stayed right in the row.
Imagine stalling on the job out on the moors in a high wind with driving rain. Maybe warm starting avoids this rigmarole. I must admit I enjoy the ritual of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the vid.
Looking at how meticulously it was designed and manufactured (and maintained) it’s clear that such a machine was an insane investment back when it was new
@@clausmadsen6754 In 1954 that was twice the yearly wage for my father working in a cheese factory...... as my father said to me in 1980 when after only 4 years in my job I had outstripped his wages...
My dad worked on landscaping many years ago and they had one ...brilliant tree stump puller apparently. Thanks for showing this magnificent example. 🙂👍
That is simply beautiful Patch . Sounds so good. I never heard of a tractor 🚜 starting that way. Thank you for sharing your story. Wow broke in half. So co to see it restored. You are an interesting person 😉💕. Glad you got to see it restored. What a rare and beautiful Joy. I'm so happy for you 💕😘
@@rhondaredeemedprodigal I have a 1965 Massey Ferguson 135 that I first drove when I was 17. Two Fords that I bartered to guys that wanted to restore them may feature in coming videos one is a Major that was a Whitlow Dinkum Digger( an early backhoe machine) and the other a Dexter with a front loader!
What a beautiful machine, it makes my day every time I see such a great feat of engineering being preserved! Thank you for taking the time to make a video :-)
I grew up barely 200 yards from the factory and went on to work for a local haulage firm that did a lot of work for Marshalls (though before my time). The Gainsborough Heritage Centre has just taken delivery of a large scale scanner/printer to digitise the old engineer's drawings, they often send them all over the world to assist in the restoration of engines. (Marshalls started way back in the 1800's producing steam engines and agricultural equipment). They built Bristol fighters in WWI and X-Craft midget submarine in WWII.
I grew up on a large farm in South Alabama, and we had plenty of farm equipment. But that's a first for me!😮 Beautiful tractor! Thanks for sharing the start-up of the Ole Gal.
I would be interested to know what powder you use, I know it needs to be a slow burn rate powder. Thanks for watching and for your interesting comment.
Here’s the recipe that was provided to me. I loaded 25 of them, used several to start the Marshall. Remington 2 3/4 inch hull CCI 209M primer I used a Federal 209M primer Drop 28 grains of FFF black powder in the primed hull Drop 160 grains of Hogedon H4831 on top of the black powder. This will fill hull sufficiently to get a decent 6 or 8 point crimp. Keep in mind this recipe was provided to me, I only loaded it, use at your own risk. No paper wad or fillers are needed!
These old tractors are nigh-indestructible. My grandparents bought a Ford 8N in July of 1950. We were still using it when the engine finally threw a connecting rod and broke the engine block in 2008. Against my protests, it was sold for scrap. I wanted to put a flathead V8 in it.
My video entitled ’A 60 horse tractor from the 1960s given a 300 horse Cummings' might also interest you. I randomly came across it on a journey south! Thanks for watching 😁 I appreciate it very much!
The restoration is just as stunning as the startup procedure! Beautiful machine, and amazing that it came back from such conditions like you said at the end of the video, I bet that was a flashback moment haha!
Hi Built to last! It's lovely that you know it's whereabouts and know that it has been lovely restored and cared for! Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays.
@@patchthesinclair5896 is that a normal 12-gauge cartridge with the shot removed or is it specially produced? I sometimes get to work around cartridge start aircraft …a Coffman starter… you’ve doubtless come across them. I used to work at a Massey- Ferguson dealership and one of my favourite jobs was finding parts for old tractors like TE20’s etc… this was well before internet days!

This machine is in immaculate condition. Great to see these machines being preserved.
An exceptional amount of care and attention to detail went into this restoration. It's a real testament to Nicol's workmanship. Thanks for watching
It was restored
Restored by caring and skilled hands, Mr Nicol Mackenzie from a far northern corner of Scotland.

I guess this is where the term "Starts with a bang" comes from. Simple way to start a tractor without a handcrank or a electric starter. But you always need to have a shotgun shell at hand.

What a beautiful example of an old PopPop Marshall. We used one often for threshing with the old threshing drum, elevator for stacking the straw etc. Dad used to let me light the litmus paper and strike the starting cartridge after he had set it all up. After the first start of the day it was usually started with the handle after setting the decrompresion control to maximum to give time for several fast build up turns.

Wow!!! I have never seen a tractor started that way and I have seen quite a few tractors. Amazing!! Thank you Patch!!!

They used to start aircraft engines like this too, as a few 12g blanks weighed a lot less than a starter motor and a big battery.

I wish he could have seen it restored. Thank you so much for your kind comment. Thank you for watching.
@@patchthesinclair5896 magical, your Dad would at least be grinning 😁😉😎
I never seen a thing like this ( i am European)
i am happy that my friend mentioned a machine starting like this and my phone heard it ( now its on my feed)
Nice machine, well preserved for the future to drop jaws ( i love machines) this thing just made my day!
What a special comment, thank you, and thank you for watching too.👍😁
started with a shotgun shell, thats some cowboy ingenuity. Never knew they made mechanisms like that
Now you know!
Thank you for watching 😁
Magnificent restoration. Not a speck of dirt on it. Looks better than new
It is finished better than when it left the factory! Thanks for watching
Beautifully maintained, the paint and the tires look awesome
Your commentary at the end combined with the rhythmic popping of the engine made for a perfect ending to this nice video.
Thank you for your kind comment and thank you for watching
When I was a kid in Boy Scouts, are troop went to an air show, and I saw a plane start up using a blank 4 Guage shotgun round like the kind used in a boat mounted flock gun.
Aircraft technology applied to a tractor, my father had just come out of the RAF when he bought this tractor in 1947. I think the starting procedure sold it to him.
Beautiful machines like this should represent The human race when we are gone.
It will certainly represent the resourcefulness of my father's generation to generations yet unborn. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
What a wonderful machine. This is when men took extreme pride in what they built.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. If at all you are a reading man can I recommend 'Round The Bend' by Nevil Shute. It's a tale of taking pride in workmanship to another level. The early days of commercial aviation. A boy's fairytale.
What a very eloquent way to start an equally eloquent old tractor! Superb!
Thank you for your kind and complimentary comment and thank you for watching.
Awesome video. the tractor is in incredible condition and your story sharing it's history at the end was lovely
Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much! I am so pleased that you liked it.
Beautiful tractor and one of my favorite of the antique tractors. This one looks brand new.
@@charmainevandiford6622 Nicol did an amazing job on the restoration of it.
They are magnificent, however this one is so special to me through the childhood connection.
@@patchthesinclair5896 the Tractor itself is magnificent but understand as I helped my Late Grand Father and a uncle farm in the summer growing up and I would love to have my Grand Fathers tractor. I think it was a Massey Ferguson 135 gas I think ad that was many years ago and the first one I drove. Maybe 8 or 9- and they would let me turn around at the end of the field and it stayed right in the row.
I have a MF135, not restored.
It's held together by good memories! ❤️
Imagine stalling on the job out on the moors in a high wind with driving rain. Maybe warm starting avoids this rigmarole.
I must admit I enjoy the ritual of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the vid.
Once warmed up life is easier, I am pleased that you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Beautiful machine! Such an enjoyable video to watch, thank you for sharing!
But thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment!
Wow… Started easier than l thought it would…Nice looking tractor
Wouldn't you wake with a start if someone fired that when you were asleep?? 💥😂😂😂. Thanks for joining in!
Looking at how meticulously it was designed and manufactured (and maintained) it’s clear that such a machine was an insane investment back when it was new
I was curious and looked it up, 550 pounds in 1945. Inflation calculator says thats about 24K USD today, a pretty good bargain!
@@testy462 I don’t know but I’m pretty sure 500 Pounds in 1945 was easily a house or even a farm
@@clausmadsen6754
In 1954 that was twice the yearly wage for my father working in a cheese factory......
as my father said to me in 1980 when after only 4 years in my job I had outstripped his wages...
My dad worked on landscaping many years ago and they had one ...brilliant tree stump puller apparently.
Thanks for showing this magnificent example.
🙂👍
Thanks for watching, I'm glad that you appreciated it.
Lovely to see it looks like it came out of the factory yesterday 👍👍
Nicol has done a painstaking restoration thank you for your kind comment and for watching.
❤ this is a great ritual to start an engine. And it's nice that there are still people who can do it. ❤
That has to be one of the coolest things that I've ever seen 🙌. Easier than starting an old harley, for sure.
You would not want to have a 6,000 cc cylinder kick back at you... probably best to just shoot it before it gets in a mood
That is simply beautiful Patch . Sounds so good. I never heard of a tractor 🚜 starting that way. Thank you for sharing your story. Wow broke in half. So co to see it restored. You are an interesting person 😉💕. Glad you got to see it restored. What a rare and beautiful Joy. I'm so happy for you 💕😘
It was my favourite tractor when I was a small boy, I guess it still is!
@@patchthesinclair5896 awesome 😎.Mine is our 1968 4020 John deere.i spent a lot of summers bailing hat in it and born the same year as me 💕
@@rhondaredeemedprodigal I have a 1965 Massey Ferguson 135 that I first drove when I was 17. Two Fords that I bartered to guys that wanted to restore them may feature in coming videos one is a Major that was a Whitlow Dinkum Digger( an early backhoe machine) and the other a Dexter with a front loader!
Does this vibration creates problems,loosening fastener,driver fatigue ??
The vibrations are so low frequency that it is not a big problem.
It looks a very murica way to start a tractor 😂. With a cartridge haha. It so amazing see his smile when it runs.
His smile is the best part😁
Thanks for watching!
I haven't seen that in 49 years thank you,that brought tears 😢to my eyes,grandpa would have ❤ love to see that.
Happy tears! Bless your memories. Thank you for watching and for your heartfelt comment.
Не трактор,а произведение искусства! У этой машины есть душа.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. I am pleased that it appealed to you!
What a beautiful machine, it makes my day every time I see such a great feat of engineering being preserved! Thank you for taking the time to make a video :-)
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
I grew up barely 200 yards from the factory and went on to work for a local haulage firm that did a lot of work for Marshalls (though before my time). The Gainsborough Heritage Centre has just taken delivery of a large scale scanner/printer to digitise the old engineer's drawings, they often send them all over the world to assist in the restoration of engines. (Marshalls started way back in the 1800's producing steam engines and agricultural equipment). They built Bristol fighters in WWI and X-Craft midget submarine in WWII.
Thank you for that information, I will try to get to the heritage centre some day. Thanks for watching.
Maybe we need another World War to allow British ingenuity to shine once again?
I grew up on a large farm in South Alabama, and we had plenty of farm equipment. But that's a first for me!😮 Beautiful tractor! Thanks for sharing the start-up of the Ole Gal.
So happy that it pleased you, she's a gem 😁
About ten years ago I helped start one of these in Goshen, IN. I have a recipe to load the 12 gauge shot shell that we used to start the tractor!
I would be interested to know what powder you use, I know it needs to be a slow burn rate powder. Thanks for watching and for your interesting comment.
Here’s the recipe that was provided to me. I loaded 25 of them, used several to start the Marshall.
Remington 2 3/4 inch hull
CCI 209M primer
I used a Federal 209M primer
Drop 28 grains of FFF black powder in the primed hull
Drop 160 grains of Hogedon H4831 on top of the black powder.
This will fill hull sufficiently to get a decent 6 or 8 point crimp.
Keep in mind this recipe was provided to me, I only loaded it, use at your own risk. No paper wad or fillers are needed!
amazing, my Dad had a field marshall which i remember being started this way! they are fantastic machines
Here's to our fathers, thank you for watching and for your special comment!
Чудесно съхранена и реставрирана машина. Това е много труд. Красив труд. Със Здраве.😊
So welcome, thank you for your so positive comments. Thank you for watching 😁👍🏻
The starting procedure is really neat, the tractor is beautiful, the story is amazing!
Thanks for your kind comment! I really appreciate it.
Imagine farming with it and having to do that every morning. That would get old.
better then doing it by hand haha
That is a beautiful tractor, and the starting up really intrigued me, thank you.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. I appreciate it.
I am 45 and I just discovered this method for starting engines exists, thank you for this video!
Thank you for watching. This method was most used to start aircraft but used a much bigger cartridge
These old tractors are nigh-indestructible. My grandparents bought a Ford 8N in July of 1950. We were still using it when the engine finally threw a connecting rod and broke the engine block in 2008. Against my protests, it was sold for scrap. I wanted to put a flathead V8 in it.
My video entitled ’A 60 horse tractor from the 1960s given a 300 horse Cummings' might also interest you. I randomly came across it on a journey south!
Thanks for watching 😁 I appreciate it very much!
One thing for sure…that’s a beautiful tractor!
The restoration is just as stunning as the startup procedure! Beautiful machine, and amazing that it came back from such conditions like you said at the end of the video, I bet that was a flashback moment haha!
Indeed it was!
Thank you for watching, I am glad that you enjoyed it!
I was expecting that!! How lovely, and that tickover is to die for.......
Lullaby tick over ! Thank you for watching and for your fun comment 😁
Fabulous video, very interesting - I never knew that was a start up procedure.
It's all quite logical and worked well! Thanks for watching and for your comment here 😁
What a beautiful machine she is a fantastic example of engineering
Ничего подобного никогда не видел!!! Браво...
I'm pleased that you like it 😁
That’s probably the coolest video I’ve watched all day…soaked paper, a shotgun shell and a hammer…who woulda thought that could start a tractor
A fun start to the working day!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and for your comment.
Holy cow those flywheels are just waiting to rip a leg or arm off. What an amazing beautiful tractor. And it sounds so good.
Thank you, so pleased you enjoyed the video.
Hi Built to last! It's lovely that you know it's whereabouts and know that it has been lovely restored and cared for! Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays.
Thank you, it is very special to me!
And to you too, happy holidays!
That is an excellent restoration! Well done!
I have never seen anything like this in my life. Awesome.
I started watching this thinking man, that’s a lot of screwing around to get it started. Now I wish my truck started like thisLOL
Now you have me thinking 🤔
@@patchthesinclair5896 it’s just cool🤷🏼♂️LOL And him being so casual about it makes it cooler
Yep that made me smile as well!! Fantastic!!
I'm delighted that you are smiling 😁 thanks for watching
@@patchthesinclair5896 is that a normal 12-gauge cartridge with the shot removed or is it specially produced? I sometimes get to work around cartridge start aircraft …a Coffman starter… you’ve doubtless come across them. I used to work at a Massey- Ferguson dealership and one of my favourite jobs was finding parts for old tractors like TE20’s etc… this was well before internet days!
@@michaelwhitley2081 it's a specially loaded blank black powder cartridge. They are still available from an outlet in Gainsborough, the Field Marshall's home town.
Thanks for your question and for watching.
@@patchthesinclair5896 ah that’s just about an hour and a half south of me… thank you for the information👍
