The Field Marshal start up

- This tractor was purchased new in 1947 by my father.
It has been beautifully restored by its current owner, Nicol Mackenzie, who took four years to complete the project.
As a small boy I was fascinated by the fact that it was started with the blast of a 12 bore cartridge.

The smile on that old man’s face when that thing fired up, was brighter than the sun!! Great little video!
Thank you for your kind comment, I caught Nicol's face on camera by accident but for me it is the best moment of the video. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.

Just make sure it's out of gear before you start it
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
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.
The closer you look the worse it is though, I restore stuff for a living and this is one of those "Good from far, far from good" kind of things...
@@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! 👍🏻🍻
Thank you now I am grinning like an idiot! Prize comment, thank you 😁
Saltpeter
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 !
@@patrickshaw8595 There’s vehicles made up to the late 90’s that are all mechanical injection and would work fine.
Modern technology is amazing. But old technology is beautiful.
Fine words well chosen!
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.
I know what you mean, as a child I had a fascination for tugboats too.
Thank you for watching and for your comment 👍🏻
Aynen 👏👏👏
ThNk you for sharing this and thank goodness people like this chap and others like him are happy to put in the hours to keep this stuff going❤
Had no idea when I clicked on this video that start up would involve a piece of lit paper and a shotgun shell, ha ha!
Glad it pleased you, thank you for your comment here and for watching 😁
Wow, shotgun cartridge and glowing paper. What’s not to love, of a beautiful bygone age ❤
Bruh when i saw that, i was like "DID HE LOADED 12 GAUGE INTO A VEHICLE?!". 😂
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 !.
Indeed, MEMORIES! Thanks for watching and for your comment.
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.
@@daveyr7454 Happy Innocent Times
Great times 😊 I grew up in more modern times with nuffields and red David browns 😂
@@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.
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...
You won't find anything as cool as this now days!
So right!
I don’t know what’s cooler, the tractor, or the old man who’s starting it!
Yep...OSHA made sure of that. Do the brakes work like Fred Flintstone?
I mean, that's because systems that are quiet and reliable become standard and thus boring, but yes...
Except for me I'm cooler
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.
Boy, that runs so sweetly
I have never seen any engine ever start like that. So fricken cool.
We may be more advanced, but we definitely ain’t smarter.
The ingenuity/industriousness of humans is mind blowing.
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.
A bit of nostalgia keeps us planted, I'm glad that you liked it, thanks for watching 👍🏻
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.
Волшебная старинная техника! Спасибо за то что сохраняете такую технику.
Нашу купи, примерно так же зимой заводить надо😂😂😂😂
@@user-hd9vj3kh1z ваша это какая? А русская в зиму всегда отлично заводится.
TOVARISCH!!!
Классно! И очень интересно. Не очень похоже на наше)
Огонь в бумажке, старт выстрелом. И эти маховики по бокам снаружи 😮😮😮
@@399sek да конечно)))) а то у меня не было москвича и ваза))))
I've never knew about an ignition system like this! Great video!
Back in the day this was aircraft technology simplified and applied to agriculture. I'm pleased that you enjoyed it thanks for your comment and for watching.
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
What a cool machine! I hope it's cared for forever
I think the future is as secure as possible, thank you for watching and for your comment.
This tractor is BEYOND cool !
It never failed to amuse me when I was a kid. Thanks for watching!
@@patchthesinclair5896 LOVE IT ! !
Beautiful restoration and amazing family history. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Ray, thank you for your kind comment, thank you for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it.
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
@@SuperReznativeсейчас машины специально делают такими. Чтобы вы чаще покупали запчасти.
Is amazing to see old technology working
Wow!!! I have never seen a tractor started that way and I have seen quite a few tractors. Amazing!! Thank you Patch!!!
I thought you might be amused!!!
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.
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
@@patchthesinclair5896 you
@@kathleenhensen421 What? Who me?
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 👍🏻
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 👍🏻
You've done a wonderful job restoring that old beauty!
I cam accept no praise, it is all the beautiful and painstaking work of Nicol Mackenzie.
I love to see things like this being used instead of just rusting away in a scrap yard.
Someone put alot of love into that machine. It looks spotless and runs smooth as silk😍
So right there!
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.
Wow! What a valid comment! Thank you.
Thanks also for watching👍
Wow! I would not have believed it if I did not just see it for myself. This machine is beautiful, a real piece of automotive history .

Incredibil fantastic work bravo
So pleased that you enjoyed watching and thank you!
GOD THAT STARTUP IS SO BADASS, BOOM FROM THE SHELL AND THE SPINNING STARTS, im only 22 but i hope i come across one of these in real life, absolutely mind blowing
Come to Scotland and see this one. She's a beauty!
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.
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
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.
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!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
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.
They seem to have a sense of adventure!😂
You know you are an OG when you carry a brass hammer in your pocket!!
Really interesting video. The tractor looks better than the day it was bought. Hello from South Africa.
I think it is better than new! Hello to South Africa 😁
My favourite tractor and machine of all time
My sentiment too, thanks for watching!
Kind of reminds me of a Poppin Johnny. I know several older gentlemen that had a pristine tractor they rebuilt from an old tractor. They are just like brand new off the showroom floor and this is one prime example!
This video made me take a moment and be thankful for the abundance of technology we have today. Just think, now you can yank a cord 3 times to get your mower started, back in the day it was a process, now it’s just a beautiful art
💥😁👍🏻
There’s just nothing like antique machinery to put a smile on your face.
💥😁
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
Nicol's restoration is immaculate!
It is indeed a thing of great beauty and an object to be proud of. Well done that man.
For him it was a labour of love!
Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Thank you for subscribing, I made it to 1000 with your help. Nicol Mackenzie, the owner and restorer of this machine is that man who did well. Without him over a million people would not have been able to witness this.
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.👍😁
That is some magic right there! And the machine is in brand new condition!!
I am pleased that you like Nicol's excellent work. Thank you for watching and for your kind comment.
I'm a mechanic have been for 22 years. And I love watching engines from yester years.. it's really cool I enjoyed it. Good video sir
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I hope to get to take some footage of a 1920s AJS motorcycle soon, hopefully something fit to upload.
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.
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 👍🏻
Firing up old machines like this is an art. It's like fulfilling a ritual to appease the machine and wake it up.
I love all of the old shotgun start engines, especially aviation engines!
I have to smile every time 😊
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!
Wow! Talk about primitive! Very cool. Beautiful machine.
Thank you for watching, glad you liked it!
Never seen a 12-gauge tractor start up. Wonderful machine. Perfect condition.
I am pleased that you enjoyed it thanks for watching
@@patchthesinclair5896 Thank you
Some military aircraft engines started the same way.
Once I saw the shotgun cartridge, I knew it was gonna be magical
It's a fun start to the working day! Thanks for watching!
been a while since this Marshall has seen the "field". a beauty she is !
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.
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 😁
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.
He is deservedly proud, it is his joy😁
It wasn't complicated because it had to be, but for the user to have the gratification 🥲 a work of art
A comment to make me smile 😁
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 😁👍🏻
A Caithness, Scotland number plate. Great video.
Yes she's spent her life in Caithness although my dad bought her in Edinburgh.
My maternal grandfather was a motor trader who had SK 27 as an original issue on his first new car.
Thank you for watching and for your comment.
Oh wow.. this is magic! What a great video. Thank you very much!
Thank you for your part in making this video such a success, it has had half a million views where it had been normal for me to get a hundred or so. Thank you also for your kind comment, I really appreciate it.
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
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
WOW 🤩
What a jewel 💎 👍
Pride of ownership !
😊⚡👍
Ace old tractor for the mind... heartwarming story for the soul
So well summed up in so few words.
Thank you for your highly complementary comment and thank you for simply watching.
What a beautiful machine. Thank you!
Thank you for watching 👍🏻
Such a great way to help lower cost and reliability for the tractor by designing how to start it with things a farmer would have abundance of while also being ahead of the competition.
Imagine having to start your car like this these days . Every morning would be like D-Day .
💥💥💥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
Stopping by again ❤🎉😊
Rhonda, hi there, you are so welcome here! So glad to see you commenting again! How is your channel progressing, I hope you have found where you stashed your mojo! Power to you my friend 🔥💥 ⚡
@Patch the Sinclair you're simply amazing Patch!!! It's been a nightmare my friend. I can't believe my life is where it is right now. I'm glad to be free from the narcissistic ex-husband but starting over is put of my comfort zone in every way. 50 years on the farm and 4 at the cabin. I love my space and privacy. I don't have either here. It's a but overwhelming but ill find that MOJO one day. Not doing much on my channel. Don't care to do much.
Believe in yourself and don't look to the past , look with hope to the future! Power to you good lady!
i am still fascinated!!! and a mechanic of over 50 years!!!! love the slow idle
Shout-out to this farmer. Giving his tractor a hit of the good stuff
Right on
started with a shotgun shell, thats some cowboy ingenuity. Never knew they made mechanisms like that
Now you know!
Thank you for watching 😁
That smile was pure joy!
Luck that I caught it on camera, to be honest, an accidental moment, but yes it the bit that puts a smile on my face every time I see it. Thank you so much for watching and for seeing it as I do.
Never saw this kind of engine start before. Awesome!
You did now😁. Thanks for watching!
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.😊
So glad you liked it thanks for watching and for your comment 😁
This is beautiful. Really wish I lived in the era when this was brand spanking new!
Seeing start was one thing, but the story that came after was amazing.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment and thank you for watching.
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!
beautiful tractor 👍
Thanks 👍🏻
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 🎉
Thanks for watching, I am glad you liked it!
That was absolutely fantastic. It reminded me of the WWII Bombers using starter cartridges.
My dad had just finished his time in the RAF when he bought it new in 1947
That is such a beautiful example of engineering accomplishments before Electronics that tractor gets my juices flowing it's like an omage to the most beautiful physical specimen in mechanical form like the great steamship engines it also reminds me a lot of the single- cylinder diesel Jack pump engine that ran 24/7 on our farm just a few hundred yards from our farmhouse in Ada Oklahoma I would go to sleep with that thumping sound it was much lower than that tractor and it had a 4 beat tempo so it was Thump Thump Thump Thump pause and over again ciao for now
A lullaby like mother's heartbeat when we are still sucklings, the unrealized joy of mechanical engineering!
Thanks for watching and for your comment!
Beautiful tractor and smooth startup, intriguing startup tho.
Thank you for watching and for your comment
Okay, this machine looks so brand new. Awesome restoration and awesome way to start a machine
Thank you, it was a labour of love for a very talented man. A delightfully reliable cold start too.
That is so cool! I love old tractors.
What a beautiful machine!
She's a gem!
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!
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, thanks for sharing the start up. You can tell that old boy loves that thing, it was dang near spotless. I enjoyed this thoroughly.
I enjoyed your visit to these comments! Thank you for your contribution to them and thank you so much for watching.

Damn.. I am 23 years old and shit's so fascinating 😃
Never knew this existed
I'm glad a young one like you appreciates things like this. I hope there are enough kids like you to keep these historic machines alive in the future.
As a five year old it thrilled me to bits, seeing the old girl restored to better than new took me close to tears!
I'm glad oldies like us can appreciate the young aren't all lost to the digital age!
I grew up in Gainsborough it was a common sight to see these out in the fields.
