Tractor Dozer Abandoned in the woods for 20 years - Will it start ??

[@Kmortisk]

There is definitely something special about these jungle finds. It does not get better than this!

[@oscarwebb2149]

Hell yeah, new Marty video to watch with dinner. Cheers mate

[@Isthatyoudermot]

Bedtime here, guess I'll have to sleep later 😂

[@robertsnowdon6932]

Magic Marty strikes again. Thanks for all the Video's that You posted during the year and I wish You and the Family all the Very Best for Christmas and the New Year Marty - Have a Good one Mate.

[@Sgt_Kilborn]

You're pretty well the master of David Brown machines at this point😅

[@jerrycopley9325]

So excited you found another abandoned tractor and you did not disappoint :) love to hear the dead roar back to life :)

[@mdouglaswray]

Love seeing that come-along that you rebuilt!! Works like a champ.

Matty T saviour of old Brown David's left in the bush. Merry Christmas

[@truckertom3323]

Another David Brown to the fleet, she sounds good too.

[@tonyellis3642]

Thank you for making these videos Marty. I love how you see the value in these old machines and put them back to work.

[@GroinsNZ]

Sounds pretty sweet. My dad had a David Brown with a hydraulic front bucket. I used to nip down the drive to 'check the mailbox' on occasion... gave it all the onions a few times. Thanks for the upload Marty 🙂

[@chrisconolly488]

Good to see another David Brown,you’ve done a few of those over the years. Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday!

[@Nothin638]

I have a 1950 Allis Chalmers WD that the starter has been giving me fits. It looks just like that one you took apart. I appreciate you explaining all the way they can fail. I've had mine apart before but learned quite a bit from your explanations. I always love the videos, Marty. Thanks for another great one. Merry Christmas to all the T's.

[@geoffh1070]

Merry Christmas Marty , have a safe & prosperous new year 😎

[@SeanChYT]

Yes it will start! I have faith in Marty T, even if I am only at 0:07. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@bradweston5342]

David Brown? Virtually James Bond's car!! (DB5)🤣🤣 Your grin when the old girl came to life, almost as broad as your skill set! Another great job sir!

[@meturns4666]

Ahh . Sir Marty T Attenbourough searches the vast jungle of sth New Zealand for a near extinct Brown 1990 . Upon discovery, the professor can with genetic mechanical knowledge bring it back not only from the brink , but actually back to living it's best life today , God bless the professor, merry Christmas mate to you the missis n family, from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@ronaldheit196]

A nice pleasant Friday night surprise. A MartyT episode of him rescuing another David Brown tractor. With a bonus dozer blade on the front. I've absolutely no doubt that he'll get the hydrolics working in the next episode.

[@pdxRetired]

Good job bringing another old tractor back to life!

[@waterbourne9282]

Experience, patience, and perseverance. You've got them in spades Marty, well done.

[@CustodiopatricioTrujillomarcha]

These are the videos that made me subscribe to your channel from the beginning. I got hooked on your work, it's a pleasure to see. Greetings, I hope you're well.

Marty you must have a very understanding and tolerant wife. I can imagine most women would be thinking 'what the hell has he brought home now?'. A good keen girl alright. All the best for Xmas and 2025.

“Huge spider bit me on the neck” Yeah you took that way better than I would’ve 😂

[@MartyT]

Luckily our spiders in NZ are pretty harmless, some bite but not many are venomous

[@saltypete2099]

From Texas in the US. Our spiders don’t do much either but I like them not doing much from a distance still

[@criticalevent]

I did not think that was going to turn out to be one of your better finds!

[@MartyT]

That makes 2 of us, I was almost ready to walk away from it after winching for an hour

[@noiseache7720]

That must of been a tuff couple of hours work dragging that out of the Bush in that heat. That block and tackle looked bloody heavy. Fair play Marty, and thanks, really enjoyed that.

[@Bristoll170]

Used a 990 back in the 80's when orchard working in Brightwater. Didn't have the blade on the front though. Watching this bought back some happy memories from those days. Would love to take one for another blast. Another magic find Marty, looking forward to part two 👍. Cheers Pete' Hokitika.

[@MartyT]

They're pretty bulletproof old tractors.. I thought this one was only good for parts, surprised it started so easily

[@Badge319]

What a great video to start my holidays ! a bit of restoration, education and inspiration. Really enjoyed this one, Merry christmas !

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Merty always amazes me these old machines sitting in the paddock for 20 years, plus always run or most of them can’t imagine the new vehicles today, sitting around for 20 years and then a fire at probably rust away before that happens. Keep up the good work

[@Oodle-ox2vf]

Thank you Marty. 🙂

[@wanjockey]

it is awesome seeing you finding these machines and giving them some love to see them come back to life. I hope you can figure out the hydro issue. Thanks for the video.

[@jsparrowthegamer7729]

It amazes me that something that sits for 20 or more years can still run if you give it the time to fix it

[@MartyT]

These old David browns were built to last

[@kiwibryntoo]

Nothing quite so satisfying as to see the o;d beast start up and run like it was just turned off... Excellent score..

[@gazzafloss]

I never doubted that it would start Marty, you gave it your "magic touch". Another old piece of machinery lives to work another day. There seems to be a fair bit of abandoned machinery in the bush over there, keep on rounding it up, that's good for the environment.😂

[@stephenwebb3069]

Love your videos, keep up the great work.

[@billsmith5166]

Thanks for the vid Marty. A very merry Xmas to you and your wonderful family from Minnesota USA.

[@ClarkSchaefer]

Ha, I wish I had your talent for bleeding engines properly. I've got an old sailboat engine that made the mistake of not fully tightening the fuel tank cap and I've been on and off trying to properly bleed the fuel system, at least I know roughly where my problem is. Keep it up!

Merry Christmas down there to you and yours Mart. All the best. This will be our last Christmas here, we are going back to the Philippines during the last quarter of 2025. Will be still following your very interesting vlog when i'm over there. Bob.

[@SabretoothBarnacle]

There used to be one of these and a saw bench abandoned in the woods when I was a youngling. Used to play on it for hours and came home with black hands due to the perished rubber off the steering wheel. Innocent times😊

[@djcishere]

So Marty has spidey powers now? Thanks mate, love ya videos, hope u give urself some time off!

[@jimsvideos7201]

I do hope you and your family enjoy your holidays and your new tractor too!

[@nickraschke4737]

Awesome. I’ve just spent the day working on my van. This is a nice surprise.

[@ecclesmilligan8712]

Nice rescue Marty. RE the front blade, on my DB 885 once the correct output was selected on the valve block on the left hand side the 3PL linkage controls had to be set to draught mode and the depth lever set to all the way down. However the 3PL controls on your 990 are a bit different to what mine where. Also note if that engine is the same basic design as my 885 then it is a sleeveless engine with the cylinders bored straight in to the cast iron block. You must run antifreeze/anticorrosion in these or you will pinhole through from the combustion chambers to the water jacket. This is an expensive repair as the cylinders have to be bored out and special sleeves fitted. Not cheap as I had to get it done on mine. Engine will also run hotter than normal after it is sleeved.

Every time I watch Marty bring back one of these mechanical dinosaurs back to life by just doing basic due diligence, it makes me wonder why couldn't the other guys do the same?

[@watersipper1116]

I am now thinking of wandering in the forest and wetlands in search of an abandoned tractor. Or maybe an unhappy one that merely ran away. I doubt it would still run, but it might be fun to just find one.
