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!

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

Great old tractor, love the system of starting it.

[@twistedyogert]

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

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

[@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

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.

[@twistedyogert]

So the match is basically like a glow plug.

[@gitaneVYS491R]

Fantastic.

[@derekdee9592]

Wonderful old British tractor

[@jazi6750]

Beautiful

[@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.

[@Blake-Urizen]

Quite the fandangle, but easier than a Fordson.

[@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

[@RobertGreenlee-f8u]

Does that plum into one cylinder am building a harley an would like put one on it

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Awesome

[@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.

[@emmanuelofori869]

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

[@scua2646]

[@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 😂

[@NorthernChev]

…it can also be CRANK started off the flywheel.

[@batsardcat3285]

He mentioned that

[@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! 😂

[@turdferguson12]

No worries about anyone stealing that thing😂

[@twistedyogert]

I doubt they'd be able to start it.

[@commandertaco1762]

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