I bought the CHEAPEST diesel tractor on marketplace! Its BROKEN in half!

[@bobturner6516]

after 40 years as a diesel tech, it's nice to sit back and watch somebody else do the dirty work.

[@jameslovitt994]

Just seeing someone willing to do the dirty work is different anymore

[@moparman1962]

He practically STEALS a nice, decent sized, 4WD Mahindra diesel tractor with front end loader, he makes the broken frame STRONGER than the factory and puts it all back together in one day. He's a Fab Rat, definitely. Then he tests and shows rescued, repaired, restored tractor doing all kinds of tractor things that resemble useful work...what's NOT to like?! Cool. Keep on keepin' on!

[@jar407]

if owner took it to trade at dealer he probably get scrap value . only thing he should inform the byer if he selling it that its had a major repair

[@plunderbunny84]

My favorite part about your videos is the “homemade” feel to them. That sense of “F it, I’m sure I’ll figure it out…” and diving into something. Leaving in the parts where something goes clearly wrong and could be construed as making you look stupid, think cutting a way to get the wires through the frame when there was already a cutout you couldn’t see or the tractor rolling away, that gives the videos a very genuine feel. Those are things you could have easily cut out and nobody would have been the wiser. Life isn’t perfect and no project goes perfectly. I look forward to every video or livestream you do and cannot wait to see the finished cabin. Thanks for sharing the journey.

[@99Projects]

I really appreciate that feedback. I like showing the reality of these projects. They aren’t perfect. I run into all kinds of problems, they have to be solved and ya move on. Again, i appreciate your perspective

[@moparman1962]

@@99Projects, PERFECT? There's perfect, which takes 99 years, and there's git 'er done, which is 99Projects. You'll make a LOT more progress and have a lot to show keepin' "perfect" at bay, all day, every day. ;)

[@slickwilly42]

I agree 100%. It makes the videos much more enjoyable than the "pro" ones!

[@omegoa]

You know the reason why is because this man is very smart and he knows it. He's also humble and wants to display that up front. It's better than coming off as a know-it-all and being attacked for it. Humility. Get some.

[@karenwright9123]

I'll just say this. You bought it,you fixed it and it's yours. I think you did fine,real fine. You work hard and always work things out if not successful the first time. You try again.

[@allenlaakso794]

That sure was next to nothing and you sure made light work of tearing it down fixing it and putting it back together. Reminds me of being in the military in the mid to late 70’s we kept a lot of misc parts and it sure paid off with all those Clevis pins and other things you were short ! I was a wheel and track mechanic for six years . Nothing is worse than not having parts or tools. Rock on brother!

Wow, the way you work, you wouldn't ever have a problem getting a job. Smart.

[@rem-con.Outdoors]

Honestly one of the best compact tractor videos I’ve seen and I’ve watched probably close to a 1000. I’ve owned multiple sub compact and compact tractors over the past 4 years (buy for cheap sell for more) and I have researched tractors to death. This Is it the content I want when I’m researching a particular tractor. I’ve come across a few amazing deals with damage similar to this and shy away lacking the confidence to tackle them. Gives me more motivation for sure! Cheers!

[@99Projects]

Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad you found it helpful

[@GimpyJohn]

I found you in the KZbin worm hole, and I'm watching all the cabin videos. I don't know why, but I can't get enough! Great job!

99 Projects...great intro and hook, excellent little-bit-of-this-little-bit-of-that content in the mix, people like seeing projects, almost ANY projects, being worked on and being figured out and completed...upgrades and modifications in the future...part of the mix. Keep going, whatever you're working on that you think would be boring for people to watch, it's probably not, we/they would watch you tear off, repair, replace that cabin roof line as part of any video and LIKE IT just fine. ;)

[@99Projects]

Thank you I really appreciate the feedback. I’ll keep filming for sure

[@99Projects]

Thanks man. I appreciate you. You keep after the deals you find, you’ll have a FEL in no time flat

[@hoppy640]

Great job welding, as a former heavy duty mechanic your frame weld will fail in the future. Look up fish plate for frame. Basically you need angle on your plate to prevent cracking in the frame

[@99Projects]

I know a fish plate would technically be better, more surface area of weld, this will be fine

The way to take loader off is to start with the bucket ina good dumping angle and do not curl it in until you are ready for the arms to left off, than slowly curl your bucket up and your arms will left off. But do it on solid ground.

[@99Projects]

I figured the soft ground was fighting me

Duuuuude, good for you! I've been looking for similar buys for a compact tractor, sub-compact backhoe and big wood chipper.

The bracket that the loader attaches to, check the bolts where the bracket attaches to the frame.

There all good

[@moparman1962]

99 Projects...you're definitely doing something right, a lot of things actually. Your channel is growing at a good pace, if you simply keep making videos which show you and your friends doing a little of this and a little of that, all kinds of different things you do anyway and need to do, people ARE GOING TO WATCH, and like them! You're a little bit Fab Rats, a little bit Casey LaDelle, a little bit Vice Grip Garage AND Vice Grip Lodge (definitely), a little bit Matt Carriker and a little bit Raising Voyagers...that would be SIX HUGE COMPLIMENTS to a very newer, finding it's way, growing channel...yours. Just stick with it, when ideas or projects or gotta-do-it's come up or occur to you, go for it on camera. ;)
