Fixing a Hydraulic Leak on my Vintage Grader and Cutting a New Road

I picked up this tired old Aveling Barford 6-wheel Grader for scrap value a few years ago.
It is known by the locals as the "Ailing Bas*ard" I spent a few weeks fixing it up, it has been a very useful machine, shaping/ crowning my 6km driveway to keep the water off the road and the ditches clear.

I love the fact that nothing fazes Marty it’s just another day and another issue to overcome and he seems to just take it all in his stride.. he definitely has the skills

And you didn't need the manufacturer's authorization codes to update the ECM via the onboard satellite receiver or anything. 🤣

Thanks Marty, now all I can think about is how to convince my wife "we" need a grader!!!!! ;)

It's like a sanctuary for old and/or discarded machinery. They get necessary maintenance and repairs, you get the joy of having a functional yard, where the old dears live out their final, and perhaps their best, days. Listening to this old one grunt easily through her work was magic, the header mentions a new road, hope to see updates. She's grand, that one, majestic even. Thanks for the post.

Patient, methodical, creative, stoical and efficiently effective - that’s Marty as he brings us on another little repair adventure

[@keithgarland3404]

If it's more than a pin hole in pipe, you can coil some pliable copper wire/ cable around pipe then solder/ hard solder to pipe, makes a permanent repair. Good job Marty, always enjoy your videos, great can do attitude.

Marty's maintenance is at it again 👍 One leaking pipe? To Marty, this job is like making coffee is for other people. I am confident, that Marty was actually annoyed about doing only this one small fix on that day 😂

Thanks for the video! There’s only a few videos I look forward to each week and yours is one of them. Keep up the good work!

[@40medic]

Patience and a steady hand wins the day! Well done!

[@annechristiansen941]

Tusen takk for god underholdning Marty. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯

[@PeterLee-zn3jl]

Your trousseau of tools just expands geometrically...and you keep it all knit together...without much fuss....carry on

[@assassinlexx1993]

Glad to see you brought your mechanic's helper.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Looks like a blast to run that grader.

[@mfc4591]

The thing that amazes me, is that Marty finds all this old kit, makes it run, and can operate it, the grader motor sounds healthy and must be, if it can spin the wheels.

Great video Marty. You live in a beautiful part of the world.

[@patrickmoodabe9728]

Awesome videos Marty. Showing us skills that are (ridiculously) in short supply. & maintaining that wonderful kiwi can do attitude. 👏👏

[@flowerstone]

Watching a video from a year ago. 15 year old rotary tiller. Enjoy the rebuild. I know this type of video takes a lot of work and I appreciate the work you put into it. The maintenance videos are great and the fixes like the grader. Hope to see more. 😊

[@markhensley9378]

Great job on the repair. That was a beautiful view from the top of your mountain in the beginning of the video. Thanks again for your time today and enjoy your week.

A good enough fix Marty, It'll probably outlast the pipe.
