Your Lordship, on YT, there is a man who restores old Caterpillar Farm tractors. He is Squatch253. One day he took out the Main Journal Caps on a Cat engine, to find Beer cans that were used to shim up the Main Bearings.. Sir, you beat me to the "Greta Punch" at 14:29. Keep up the good work! Best wishes from across the Pond! Andrew D.

[@peterlearmouth287]

Like always great channel excellent content and total commitment from yourself which gives us so much pleasure to watch well done Duncan on winning the tractor and also how nice and generous of yourself to make this possible

[@donc81]

Congratulations Duncan! That’s a wonderful tractor for a young man to have

[@bluegrallis]

Never have I ever, thought of re-using an oil filter.😮 I do have a Campbell's soup can on my 1935 WC Allis to cover the exhaust if it has to set outside for a night.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

That was a superior bodge👌 one wonders if they realised how much of a grin it would give the next person to look at the filter!

[@LordMuck]

I was tempted to cut one from an All Day Breakfast.

[@stuartrance277]

Well, that was more than worth waiting for to watch 👍👍👍👍really enjoyed the content,,what can you say about the old majors , simple basic engineering but so good , no blasted computer 💻 & endless wiring with ECu’s !!! Sheer heaven !!!😃what a nice crisp start up , beautiful to hear, for me the old tractors have character & charm. Then the road test, what more do you actually need, was making good road speed & nice sound, was quite envious to be truthful, thanks for another great video with your charm of presenting !👍👍😊

[@astonmcleod5344]

we had a 1956 fordson used on the family farm in Devon up to year 2000, I think father sold for 400 Pounds. We had a belt drive on it which was handy for the hay blower. One stage clutch so the PTO would stop when changing gear of stopping. the brakes were a bit dodgy. In the early 80's I was kept home form school to roll in the spring barley, I spent hours on that tractor. absolutey bomb proof.

[@Risenfoenyx]

I remember corn carting with a major back in the 70s used to pull the air cleaner off for those extra rev's and pushing in the injector button when she was pulling hard plenty of black smoke and a couple of inches of flame out of the top of the pipe haha.

[@andrewmurton8379]

Just brilliant, so entertaining and honest, when you found that filter that was priceless, a funny quip that turned out to be true🤣😂

That would have been a premium fuel for Slave Lake. A first seeing the dinner can lid, but then I have seen some sketchy repairs over the years. Great video.

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video, you no what to do next time you need a filter bottom !!!! She sounds lovely.

[@aldredske6197]

That fuel filter fix was definitely the craziest thing I ever saw. You definitely did a very nice job getting the old major into mechanically sound condition. They were great tractors in their day. There was only one thing I never liked about them. When climbing on the fenders came too far forward and if you had large boots on it was hard to turn your foot around and face forward. Other than that they were a great machine!!😀👍👍 All it could still use is a fresh coat of paint. I hope the new owner cherishes it as much as I would. Take care my friend!!😀😀❤ Logger Al

[@jackhume4532]

Good morning your Lordship, that Fordson major that you were working in this week’s video has come up trumps and that young man who has won this tractor 🚜 will be so happy that he can now drive it safely will be so happy 😀 as I know that I would be if I had won this Classic tractor from way back when ans all it needs now is a dusting of clear coat varnish to keep its story alive and until next time TaRa for a bit.

[@retiree1033]

The difference between a mechanics head and a farmers head back in the day. Waiting until the next day to get a new filter may not have been an option especially if the weather was going to break or you're using borrowed equipment that had to be returned the next day which when I was a lad was common.

[@LordMuck]

It must have been a long old season not to have time to change a filter for nearly 40 fucking years...

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

Mucking marvellous! Necessity is the mother of invention after all!

[@philipbutler9404]

Great video Lord Muck you were surprised to see that tin lid on the end of the filter you were very shocked brakes work very well good tractor.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Lord Muck :) also what fun part seen was my late Uncle Bill & Dad Don and was fuel filter in Sediment Bowl Filter for gas McCormick International Combine and old Cockshutt Tractor could get one from International dealer close up on holiday so used John Deere also work fine to also Spark plugs need change on Combine but my used his 1968 Bombardier with 292 CC 1 cylinder Spark plugs had extra around on to Combine motor plus work till got Champions from International dealer! The size of Hex on Spark plugs was 13/16 size and threads hole were 5/8 in size to! I know something can be wild but work too amazing and trouble free! Also Lord Muck also group have you when take some motor apart or steering in Desiel motors plus hear inside on fuel tank there rattle wonder doing that and find ignition switch key in like brand new shape and already bought new key months or years ago! But blame yourself missing place it ?

[@Brad-lt6mr]

Years ago, my mate bought a mk1 Polo that had biscuit tin pop riveted in the bulkhead.

[@r1mein54]

Put that can lid in a small frame before you hang it on the wall - and make sure you note "Where it came from".

[@seanworkman431]

I have seen some crazy shit but that fuel filter was good, there was a guy who cut up beer cans to shim up the slipper bearings on a D2 .

[@stephenbrown9089]

We'll I've heard of make do and mend but that filter is taking it to the extreme, maybe there's a best before date on lid give you some idea of last filter change lol. There are some crazy people out there ,the old girl looks and sounds great, good job well done.

[@marktaylor8542]

Great video love the channal thanks. Lucky young man well done .

[@alexandermckellar4001]

Great old Tractor, great video. The tin lid for the bodge filter will be a great talking point. Great Stuff 👍

[@raybob49]

Your videos are excellent. I look forward to more, especially Matador stuff. Thank you.

[@smallsuffolkfarmer]

That steering doesn't look like it has much room if that tractor had a loader on it. My old major with loader tends to point the wheels in opposite directions. Need to pull her out of the nettles and get it running again and sort the diesel leaking in to the oil.

[@SlipShodBob]

Probably though that if it clogged their gut up the tin can may have the opposite effect on the fuel system. Wonder how many times they cut themselves never seen it heard that before have heard of someone thinking you cleaned them like the old oil bath air filters and then packing it with wire wool thankfully got noticed though

[@kevinmothers904]

Well, I've done some field and get you home fixes in the past but never had to resort to the top off a veg can for anything! Still there's always a first and I suppose when they struck her up and she ran they decided to leave it and then forgot about it. How about getting the tin lid mounted with an accompanying plaque and auctioning it off for the Border Collie Rescue charity?

[@LordMuck]

That Kevin is a bloody good idea 👍

[@barryzoo5923]

Bud.your a howl with the old clip inserts absolute belters as always 👍😎

[@corriedalefarm]

[@ballyhoulihanagrivideos397]

Interesting and entertaning. Seeing and hearing you on the test drive brings back memories on hauling silage with a similar one around 1978. Only one brake worked on it

[@LordMuck]

Didn't you know Heinz also makes fuel filter parts? Cracking vid your Lordship, Duncan's getting a great tractor. Look forward to the new vid's, all the best!

[@gareth2673]

Good old Fordson. That fuel filter was probably an early design flux capacitor ! I know of someone (who shall remain annonymous ) who use several baked bean cans to make replacement shell bearings on a JD4240S. That didn't go to plan either !!!!

[@deanmacdonald1524]

Another brilliant video mucky always enjoy watching

[@silverbullet7434]

Damn nice tractor , and a great one for a winner of a draw. I havent been on a tractor in about fifty years. We had JD tractors a big b from around 1940 an an m from about 1954. I drove the and hand cranked the b to start her. Farming vegs for a farmer in my early teen yrs. Big pay to $.75 cents an hr. Or picking tomatoes at a $.25 a basket. In a good week I made $25- $30 bucks.

[@peterwardle572]

You were lucky it was only the lid, could have been the whole can stuffed with rag as a filter, great stuff, keep it up.

[@dadawoodslife]

Or, they only had a filter that was too long to hand. So they sawed it down and stuck the tin lid on the bottom. That explains the ripped outer cover.

[@LordMuck]

It's still no excuse for not being a manky bastard and getting the correct one the next day.

[@dadawoodslife]

@@LordMuck Most certainly. Defo Bodging B'stard of the Week contender!

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

And just to put you all off entering the competition, if the 165 is finished, I might take that along too. Or maybe something else red. Who knows?

[@LordMuck]

Yes that would be good. The 165 should be done by then.

I discovered this channel over Christmas 2022 and am going through the Lord Muck back catalogue and I have to say this is the funniest one I've seen 😅. Tinned luncheon meat with potatos and veg, grim and grimmer still if it inspires you to make a fuel filter out of the tin...

[@LordMuck]

To be fair the boot tongue repair isn't as strange as it would first seem.

[@whitestream5233]

@@LordMuck Yea I know leather was used in some old machinery as a seal and soaked in oil it provided lubrication between surfaces. I also remember repairing the straw walkers in an old combined harvester and they used ash wood blocks for the bearings. And that was how that was how it was made from new.

[@LordMuck]

The old Claas Dominator 105 had wooden straw walker blocks that were soaked in an oil.

[@PB_657]

I've made gaskets from cornflakes packets, for low pressure stator covers on motorbikes, so I can't say anything! I was wondering if they've cut down a deeper filter they had lying around to make it fit this. The competition to win a day playing with the classic tractors with you and George, wow, that would be a dream. Could it be for more than one person maybe, and there's more of chance to win. Think it would be just as good with say three people as one - all on the same day I mean.
