Negative comments??? Why?? Have these keyboard warriors got nothing better to do?? Ignore them, mate, don't let the idiots get to you. Your content is so enjoyable, and I look forward to every video! I really hope you can recover those files. Keep up the good work, Steve. You do awesome work!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks for the nice comment mate. I don’t know why I get them but I’m sure everyone that posts something on the internet would get it in some way. There’s a lot of pricks and miserable people in the world that don’t want people to succeed. But, there’s plenty more to come for nice people like yourself so stay tuned

[@jimrio3628]

Steve, Jim from Connecticut. I want to wish you and your future wife a healthy and life full of true companionship. I hope the sun will shine on your faces and hearts. Regarding these derogatory comments, the hell with them. I see you are a hard working man who opened your life to the public. I admire what you do. I'm almost 70 and love to learn about things I never worked on. What is the 13 year old channel that works on mowers. I want to give him some support. I admire any young lad who is doing something productive. As always you have my support. October is a great month, as I was born on October 11th. Thanks for finally introducing your dad on the channel. My parents are both gone now. I'm glad you spend time with your dad, I'd give anything to spend a day with my parents again. I'll be talking with you soon. Jim Rioux

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Jim. Your nice comments are welcomed and much appreciated. You and similar people are the reason I do it. Those derogatory comments are hard to read, even though it doesn’t get to me, considering how hard it is to fit in doing these videos. Everyone is only seeing an hour of my life a week and they judge you on it. I work 65-68 hours a week so people should be grateful to get a video at all, and I know most are but there are some that criticise it. The young bloke is Aussie Garden Tractors and more. My parents built a house at my place so he’s always here with me doing stuff which is good because we all getting older and won’t be forever. Thanks again for your nice wishes mate and we will talk soon

[@pete-mate3524]

Another awesome video, Steve! You know a heck of a lot about the history / applications of so many things. Very impressive!! Don't know why I didn't say it on the phone, but a huge congrat's on the upcoming wedding :-) I hope the whole thing goes flawlessly for you and your lovely 'wife to be'. And also, (another) huge "thank you" for the enormous shout out. I honestly thought you'd simple say my name and leave it at that! But boy oh boy.....I mean photo's and everything!!! You're a bloody legend, Steve! Thanks mate!! :-)

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate thank you and it’s my pleasure. I do a bit of research first to tidy a few things up but I like explaining what I know. Thanks for the wishes, it’s been 20 years already so I’m sure it will all go just fine. I like to give a good shoutout to people who deserve one because I want us all to grow, I think it’s a good thing we’re doing here. My partner suggested adding the photo, I didn’t even think of that but it made it all the better. Hopefully you will get something out of it. Thanks Pete

[@LordGrievous1970]

Bucks party? You could live stream it so your loyal fans can be there as well! Good luck for the wedding, mate.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

We will see mate. I will for a bit of it at least. Some of the people may not want to be on there

[@amydeeeeee7092]

So good to see! Shows that your videos and content are appreciated by many 👏🏼👏🏼

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Yes they certainly are

[@stuartbailey3824]

Another great video, Steve. I had the chance to buy a Chamberlain with a Detroit engine but didn't have the cash at the time. It was exported from oz to the UK

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Stuart. It’s a shame you didn’t get it. There are still a few of those Detroit ones here. Plenty of them at shows. They still bring good money so it’s hard to part with that amount just to sit it here. It’s strange that it was exported but good to see. Thank you mate

[@stuartbailey3824]

The guy exported 3 tractors, 1 Chamberlain and 2 field Marshalls, but has split with his wife. He wanted £4995 for the Chamberlain, and it sounded great. Just needed a quick tidy up. I normally just mess about with stationary and have 36, lol. I just wanted a tractor a little different fed up of grey fergies, lol. Take care and good luck with your wedding.🎉🎉

[@user-og7ep3qc2s]

Cheers for the shout out too Pete. I checked out his page has some awesome content.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

My pleasure mate. He has a great channel and a great bloke with it.

[@iksexplorationsfollower2588]

Hi Steve thanks for the great video, sorry to hear that you've got some negative comments, just keep going and ignore all that rubbish. I pulled out of a vintage society up here in QLD. because that crap. thanks again mate.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate it’s my pleasure. It’s not all the time but I certainly does happen. It seems to be getting worse whether it’s on the internet or everyday life. Always someone trying to knock you down or be better. Anyway mate I can’t change it or let it worry me. Thanks for reaching out

[@zonie1953]

I did give your dad a hello back. I think he and I are same age , I'm from June 1953 🌵

[@stevesplacedownunder]

He’s December 1953 mate so yes that’s right

[@Gary-bw4nl]

Hi Mate,keep up with the videos good to see classics and great memories for all your viewers love to walk around your place.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Gary. There’s plenty more to come when I can get to it mate. I still enjoy doing it for whoever is interested.

[@Stephen-ou4sy]

Good to see another tractor being saved. Tail end Charlie would have to be the most famous Chamberlain. There's a young bloke raising money for the Royal Flying Doctor he's towing a caravan with a Chamberlain 9G check out the Travelling Jackeroo. Thanks for sharing

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate yes I’ve seen some of his travels. They use them because the have a great road speed and reliable, along with a bench seat! Great stuff mate

[@jeffdayman8183]

She's a runner! Nice job getting it going again. A bit of thicker oil in the tranny will likely quiet it down a bit. Just run downhill all the time! You got several trucks to haul it back up the hill. 8^) Cheers!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks Jeff. Yes once I get the right deals I will put gear oil in it I’d say. Thanks mate

[@w.rustylane5650]

Another nice video, mate. Rebuilt many starters lately? Guess I ought to send you my brush hook I made from a wire coat hanger. Used to reinsert brushes into the holders on the back plate. I talked to Australia not too long ago on 11 meters (CB radio) and several times on 20 meters. Yep, I'm a Ham radio operator. Cheers from K9POW in eastern Tennessee

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate, only these 2 that you seen on the Zetor and this one. That’s enough 😅. I think you may have to send it through if I do another one. I didn’t know really what you meant by the radio till I looked it up. This is great stuff. You must have to know a bit about it all to talk to Australia. Cheers from Sydney Australia

[@stevevogelman3360]

I don’t understand people who send negative comments. If it’s not your cup of tea then don’t watch, that’s that. Love your channel. Thanks from Wisconsin.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Steve, no I don’t either. It’s beyond me why they have to type this rubbish to a bloke that’s trying. They don’t have to watch by any means. Thanks for reaching out mate and I’m glad you’re enjoying it. This is why I like to share it.

[@fredfrancis80]

Love your content really enjoy watching your videos as for the negative comments fuckem cheers mate

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate sorry for the late reply. I’m glad you enjoy it and that’s why I do it. I’m not concerned really, it’s not just me that gets them mate. It happens to the best of them

[@johnklemets1809]

good evening Steve congrats on getting married mate there goes the beer money haha i used to drive an old Chamberlain with backhoe and bucket on the front many years a go and drive it 15 k to get lunch was a slow old trip it never missed a beat start every time

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi John thank you. I’m sure I will find some money for a sip here and there mate. They were everywhere years ago I believe like your one. On all sorts of job sites. They are very reliable

[@Rigga-pw7nm]

Great vid Steve.There is a Chamberlain club over in Perth,it has a few members from what I seen on KZbin they take there tractors on tour pulling caravans good watching cheers Tony

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Tony. Yes there are a few of those clubs around. There’s a few shows here that they drive to in their Chamberlain tractors. Thanks mate

[@peterwalker7869]

Way back in about 1966 my father bough a second hand Chamberlain that look very much like that one, but without the cab. I guess they never changed their shape much. But a closer look shows several differences. I remember the fuel injection pump was an inline one and on the right hand side, and the shaft extended out the back to 3 little V belts that drove the hydraulic pump. The rear end is different. It had the belt pulley beside the P.T.O., and a lever that came up near the back of the seat. I remember those 2 drive shafts underneath. As a kid I liked to dive under there whenever dad shut the engine down. There was something in watching them spin down then rocking back n forth as everything stopped. That roller on the draw bar was something.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. She must of been a different model. You got me thinking what it may have been now with injection pump on the other side. Possibly a 9G but still doesn’t explain it. I had moments like that when I was a kid too, little things that amazed me.

[@ardtessa]

Nice tractor again Steve ! It even has the optional "extra grip" steering wheel! Keep it going and sod the keyboard warriors mate ! Cheers, Ard

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks Ard. Yes it does and it’s not overly comfortable to hang on to either. They aren’t bothering me mate, I just like to point it out and show both side of the range of people that watch. From people like that to blokes sending nice parcels. Funny old world mate😅

[@ghostrider9978]

Hey mate,, great upload. Plenty of them up here ( FNQ ) . Popular for cane haul out and the wide seat was well accepted. Hopefully find some time to watch a few more. Thanks for sharing again.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. That’s great. Good to see them using Australian made reliable equipment. Wide seat is great. When I use it the kids love it. 😅. My pleasure

[@martinworrall5888]

Ignore the negative comments mate,the are just arseholes . You have got a great channel Steve keep it up, all the best from England 👍

Thanks Martin. I do ignore it mate, sometimes I like to give it back, depending on what they’ve written. Plenty more to come

Love the old chamberlains solid old tractors got one of the last yellow ones a 4280 with a original 1700hrs it's a tidy old girl. Pretty sure that most the Chamberlains ran 85-140 in the Trans as the hyd a different compartment. Dont think I've driven a quiet one the gear boxs seem to wine away all day 😂

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Rob. They are great tractors and yes yours would be a good one to have. I will put 85-140 in it after I replace the seals. I had some gulf western engine oil in a drum that I thought I’d use in it for a flush because I certainly won’t tip it in the engine. Thank you mate

[@sambo9068]

Hi Steve Our old 306 howled for years mate wasn't making metal so we kept it going ,wasn't as noisy in high range

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Sam Perkins engines just keep going mate indeed. I think this one is only noisy in the transmission is because of the water. I’ve heard other blokes say that theirs is noisy though.

[@sambo9068]

Our C 670 loaders transmission is quiet as but the 306 howled in 2nd & 3rd intermediate for years scarifying and seeding

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Yeah ok mate. See how this one goes if we ever work it. Hopefully all goes well

[@colmanlong1032]

Very informative video, them perkis must be a very reliable engine,have a landini with 6.354 in it,brilliant egine,starts so quick.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

They are a very reliable engine mate yes indeed. That would be a good tractor that you have

[@mikewinkelman7015]

I'll never figure out why people have to be.nasty. what your doing with your videos is super. Will always want the best for you and your family. Iowa loves your vids.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks as always Mike. It’s beyond me to mate but it happens to the best of them so I’m certainly going to get it. That’s what happens when you make yourself public i guess mate. Take the good with the bad. Thanks again

[@1394db]

Hi Steve, new subscriber here, awesome videos, that isuzu you have there will have the ID number stamped on the bottom of the block around that left hand engine mount. Cheers

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate thank you and welcome to the channel. Yes I was looking on the block but maybe it needs cleaning. I have a d500 in a loader and it’s cast in big letters on the side of the block so maybe I was expecting to see something similar. I will look again. Thank you mate

[@nickhill3362]

Congrats Steve 🍻recon if the future wife is as dependable as that Perkins you will have got a good one mate 😂😂 👍

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks Nick. She’s been great the last 10 years like all the other Perkins here so I’m sure it will be fine mate

[@brycechessum4684]

I picked apples in Donnybrook WA and they gave us a Chamberlain to tow the apples bins it would hardly fit between the trees I dont know the model but it had a 6 cylinder Perkins in it

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate, this is great. I’d say it would of been something very similar. Most of the earlier ones were 4 cylinder

Thank you and I’m glad you like the channel and there’s plenty more to come for you appreciative people. Germany? How good. I have a few followers over there now. My good mate also moved there and one day I’m hoping to get there to see him. Thanks for the wishes mate and talk soon

[@andrewk6844]

Its either a 6bb1 or 6bd1 the model should be cast in the block on left side , Head liners block pistons etc are all the same in each engine .The 6 bd1 is just stroked out more , This is the same as the 4bb1 and the 4bd1 ,You may fine the internal parts are the same on all 4 engines. the old lemon MF 3090 had the 354.4 .Why i say Lemon the back end was the same in the 3000 series 3070 3080 3090 Just had to much power for the back end
