Tractor Gathering - Starting a Field Marshall Series 2

[@patchthesinclair5896]

I re met a field marshal that my dad had bought new in 1947. It had been beautifully restored.. what a delight! Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it!

[@michaeltraughber5246]

I was telling my wife about these old tractors. I love these old machines.

[@nev12345678910]

Hell yeah brother

[@jlo13800]

I want one how much are they? Can they run 2 stroke oil

[@dax6376]

Great old tractor, love the system of starting it.

[@twistedyogert]

Seems like the only electrical system on this thing are the lights.

[@dax6376]

@@twistedyogert keep it simple, less to go wrong.

[@dalkra99]

That’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen

[@pnjpjohnson]

Just watching this as it reminds me of younger days when the threshing machine came to the farm and the whole setup was powered by a Field Marshall. I noticed the registration number is JVO 441 and it reminded me that my grandfather's car, a 1948 "sit up and beg" Ford Anglia had the number JVO 431

[@mattellis6306]

Grandfather drove 1 in the 1950’s the bloke he worked for wouldn’t buy the cartridges so every start was a crank start. Was an exercise in patience getting it started in the colder months.

[@alanwilliamson2259]

Absolutely bloody magic !!! Oh thankyou so much for the vid.

[@garyharrall4002]

I have seen a handful of these in America. I was at a steam show last year and saw one. It's very rare here, it seems. Neat tractors

[@twistedyogert]

So the match is basically like a glow plug.

[@hendrikdebruin4012]

I would have loved to have met the madcap who came up with this idea. Mind you some airplanes also are started with shotgun shells.

[@derekdee9592]

Wonderful old British tractor

[@RaisedLetter]

The kind of tractor that your grandpa would whip you good for if you didn't have a good reason for him to shut it off

[@Blake-Urizen]

Quite the fandangle, but easier than a Fordson.

[@gitaneVYS491R]

Fantastic.

[@Damariobros]

A cigar-lighter-powered diesel-powered shotgun-powered tractor is the most American thing I've ever seen and I hate it /j

[@TylerRead12]

British tractor video is also British but I get what u mean 😂

[@Damariobros]

@@TylerRead12 If John Deere became a 2nd Amendment advocate "If they take away our guns and ammo we farmers can't turn on our tractors!"

[@stressedfordays]

This made me cry

[@jazi6750]

Beautiful

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Awesome

[@scua2646]

👍🏻

[@emmanuelofori869]

Damn this is crazy.You need a full time training to master this.

[@lutzkrause1873]

Sehr schön Restauriert. Wo bekommt man die Patronen für den Starter her. So ein Gerät habe ich noch Nagelneu liegen. Ist mal von einem Hilfsjockel ( Stromgenerator) vom Dampfer ( Schiff) zurück geblieben, und Opa konnte sowas nicht in den Schrott werfen. Geht doch nicht, oder?🥸

[@hendrikdebruin4012]

I think the cartridge is a 12 bore shotgun shell.

[@petersattler7838]

A third the work to start compared to the bulldog

[@doncervezas]

Cuantos venimos por la cuenta de Adrián 5 cilindros?

[@DiegoFernandez0811]

😂😂😂. Otro mas!

[@AnatoliyHerman]

А фитиль спереди это типа калильной свечи? Остроумное решение.

[@frankfowler5079]

Exactly that, yes

[@konradhenrykowicz1859]

Nie ma chuja, musi zapalić!

[@NorthernChev]

…it can also be CRANK started off the flywheel.

[@batsardcat3285]

He mentioned that

[@turdferguson12]

No worries about anyone stealing that thing😂

[@twistedyogert]

I doubt they'd be able to start it.

[@aaronfield7899]

I call shotgun on that tractor

[@jeffharper7579]

Hole new meaning to a shotgun start.😆👍

[@MrGupt24]

"must be a bugger if it stalls"

[@Truerealism747]

My friend had one it went up hill stalled and run backwards exhaust threw air intake😅

[@Mike-01234]

I bet once they got those started on the farm let them run all day. Of course, they probably used the crank to start it.

[@glenjones6980]

When you see how the front hops about at idle you begin to appreciate the stories how they could be left running on a muddy slope and end up a long way from where they were left originally.

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

I had a 1953 International Harvester which had a useless aftermarket electric starter. The easiest way to sraty the bloody thing was to tow it around the farmyard. Once started we just kept it running all day! That one was licensed for road use much to the horror of the local town! 😂

[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

"the easy way"

[@commandertaco1762]

Goofy ahh tractor manufs really said: "i got this shotgun shell, what if we took out the pellets"

[@pirro713]

Bello. Sii ma sicurezza zero 😢
