I'm glad to see her running and even happier to see your dad showing his approval. Well done ! 😉

[@dellhell8842]

12:40 That's what Lord Muck calls dinosaur crap. Mucker and the Fudweasal are great sources of experience on old Masseys.

[@tdolan500]

Ah glad to hear Lord Muck reached out, right man to give tips!

[@Olderthantime-ic]

I'm sitting here grinning and enjoying every bit of what you are doing for this little TE20, I'm 74year old lady and I had one for my Olive grove (Western Aust) I'd come home from a 12 hour shift and my delight was to jump up on the tractor and take it down the grove. I also had the fun of bringing it back to life and painted it MF grey and trimmed in red.

[@mariannelooney9369]

I'm not a mechanic, I'm not a dairy farmer, but I love your channel. I look forward to watching every early Sunday morning from South Carolina, USA.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Thanks for tuning in 👍

[@TheByard]

Thanks for reviving memories of my youth. Born in 1945 to a father that went to war while his brother fought the fight at home to provide food from his market garden farm near Wrexham N. Wales. As I grew up in London, I would spend summer school holidays on uncle farm helping cousins take care of the Shire horses, the on one trip I ,et the Fergusion tractor, well I cried as I had seen truckloads of delivery horses being taken off to the knackers yard. thankfully uncle had kept his for light work and they would live their life out on the farm. Retiring to the orchard and when they passed would be buried there and a tree would mark their spot. SO, i did enjoy learning to drive a Fergie. I went on the operate all kinds of huge earther moving equipment, the largest being Tunnel Boring Machines.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Great to hear your stories lad, yes I’d imagine the grey Ferguson retired a lot of horses back then. My father held on to his for a good while after too. 👍

[@paulineheaney6945]

Well done Adrian, everything is so interesting about the wee tractor, brings back memories to this old lady 74yrs.. yeah, I could start one of those myself back in the day.... precious memories. Delighted to see ur Dad out and about... God Bless him 🙏

[@endabeirne9322]

Great to see you doing up the little 20 and your father admiring it Great man for his age My own dad is 90 in a few days aswell We are outside Rooskey co roscommon Look forward to seeing your broadcast every sunday Have a 20 myself Been round our house since 68 I was put driving it pulling a horse plough with my dad at the helm I was 7 years of age keep up the good work

[@jollygreengiant7072]

i cannot wait to see your fatheer sat in the Captains seat revisiting his youger days. He looked years younger when he was listening to the 'tick'.God Bless.

[@cdemo1186]

I couldn't watch it from start to finish Adrian cause as soon as she fired all I could think of was me own father God Rest him and the sound of this diesel 20. He loved his wee tractor and it brought back some memories of him and I got a wee bit emotional. Super job on the tractor and well worth taking your time over,the very best of luck with her and I hope your father enjoys many a spin on it. Thank you very much for stirring up memories of me own father, now 31 years gone. 💚

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I can understand that lad 👌

[@colinc5407]

ah the seat, nothing colder than a farmers arse on a tractor seat on a frosty morning Happy Birthday to your Father may he have many more

[@muckyteeth3076]

Videos are never too long Adrian

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Happy 90th to you father ❤️🎂

[@michaelcoffey8008]

As we all know the awkwardness between a irish farther and son in some cases but you have just showed him that you love him and you enjoyed the process too

[@seanmcguigan346]

Adrian, if you do make a mistake while painting the bonnet, you can always repaint it. The person who hasn't made a mistake hasn't been born yet. Practice makes perfect

[@jerridellbates9145]

Good job, well done. 👍😁

[@thewatchman6074]

Brings back memories of bringing in the hay bales as a teenager using one of these little Fergie's. Great little work horse.

[@samleigh7817]

Good job to see someone who knows what they are doing, we’ve, local men’s shed, have done 2 with little knowledge but got there.

[@pacollopy2049]

Well done Adrian. Credit to you. I have a 35 that I started doing up with my late father a few years ago but never got it finished. We have it nearly finished now and seen your dad with you at your one when you showed it to him running brought back memories. Great to see it running.

[@mauriceargue1786]

Super video Adrian and happy birthday to your dad .

[@Ali_Arma]

I love that sound, proper machine

[@lorddraper]

Nice to see your old man viewing it @lordmuck alwayes helpful top bloke. Fair play Adrian

[@LTeppler]

[@pit_stop77]

[@TheEamonKeane]

Great to see it run. Class video

[@peggymcthompson261]

We have the Ferguson my dad bought at a farm auction when I was just a little girl. My husband has been working on it trying to get it back in good form.

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Oh great little fergie, I love them. First drove one when I was a teenager and promised myself one but never got around to it.

[@stephenmcnally7653]

Ah brilliant great to see your father out and about and to see old tractor’s on farm’s keep up the good work 👍

[@treborretsnom6186]

I grew up with a little grey Fergie, Detroit built version... lovely

[@JohnKenIRB233]

When working on old tire rims/ nuts/studs I like to use never seize/ anti seize lubricant on threads. Make it easier/safer next time you take it apart! I welcome comments/discussion from viewers. Thx for bringing us along😊😊😊 John Ken

[@terrymolloy6997]

Me and the missus loved the video Adrian, and to see your dad smile at the tractor priceless 🚜

[@radharcanna]

Adrian, this was a fantastic video. I enjoyed every minute of it. The sweet sound of that engine brought me back to my childhood in the 1960s when a neighbour used to come to us in Spring with his grey TVO tractor to cart manure. I used to love the smell of the exhaust fumes, which is probably what got to me! Even looking at the impression left in the mud by the big wheels or listening to the engine clicking as it cooled down was exciting. You’re so lucky to be able to do a restoration job like that.

[@jonathanjackman7246]

Well done Adrian and old Kurt for contacting you. Not much Lord Muck doesn’t know about those old relics.

[@gloriagavaneli9862]

Adrian you are a genius. I have a brother in law in Kildare just like you ❤

[@wayneorourke658]

Great video Adrian tractor looking good happy birthday to your dad look forward to see him have a drive

[@jimpolk]

Fantastic Adrian! It's great to see & hear her off & going again. And the look on your Father's face was priceless. You can see how proud of you he is. Thanks to those vendors who have helped you with this project too. Great days!

[@andrewjones-productions]

The best thing was seeing your father up and around and looking well. The second best thing was of course the tractor. You have done a good job thus far and it does indeed sound good. It's really fantastic when people offer to help and lend you their time or send you parts. I follow Lord Muck and I have really come to like him very much. He's a good sort and brutally honest, but also exceptionally kind. All good stuff!!

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes dad has picked up lately and hopefully will continue to do so 🤞. Yes Lord much ( Kurt ) is a sound bloke, we’ll have to have him over sometime

[@Gearoid35]

Great video it's going grand now it would be lovely painted, hope your Dad enjoys it

[@deanhawthorn5783]

what a beautiful thing ive come across.....its just lovely....i hope to see your dad drive it

[@philipbutler9404]

Very good video Adrian tractor will turn out ok in the end can,t wait to see your dad having a drive lovely 90th birthday day present.

[@paddypoolfc3579]

Great video Adrian. Wish your father a happy 90th. Great job on the wee tractor.

[@asilva4138]

Love this! Don't be afraid to paint it, get the surface clean and sanded, short even paint strokes a little bit at a time. Dry between coats and even wet sand it if you don't like the coat. You can do it!

[@scootytamra]

Happy birthday to your dad Adrian, what a lovely surprise to see his tractor running.

[@Dermot501]

You're doing a great job restoring the 20 Adrian🛠 and Happy Birthday to your Father🎂🚜👍

[@everestyeti]

What a lovely old tractor, it was nice that your Dad was well enough to come out and see you, he's looking well. 👍🤗 What do you mean a long video, not long enough if you ask me.

[@marinussnijder7941]

For inspiration and knowledge about spray-painting u-tube has lots of videos, preparation is key, color matching with and getting them as good as the fenders is the challenge. 👍

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Adrian brilliant present for your father 💪👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@dekdek551]

Best wishes ❤️ to your dad, fabulous, entertaining share. Absolutely 💯 loved it ❤️ 👌.

[@haggielady]

You could have an hour or more of video and I'd watch it. So entertaining to see the 20 up and running. Tell your Dad Happy Birthday. The look on his face was so wonderful. See you next Sunday.

[@noelwalsh4205]

[@davidwhittredge-rr7ti]

Impact driver is the name of the tool. Great job and great video enjoy.

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

The gearbox on those little Fergie’s were as close to a synchromesh as you’d get back in the day, excellent job and great to see your father out and about again 👍

[@errolgregory422]

The wait makes it's so much more worth while. Better to take your time and do it properly. Looking forward to the final instalment.

[@dominickfagan4050]

Fair play and Happy birthday to your Dad

[@EATMEzigzag92]

[@sandymcghee3328]

Great video Adrian happy birthday to your dad nice to see the mf running 👍👍👍

[@peterhenson6303]

Great old tractors. We had a TEA on our sheep and cattle farm at peep o day farm , Kimbolton in New Zealand. Classic wee things to drive. Great work mate and i hope your dad has a wee drive on here. Take care

[@ThomasGFarrell]

The moment that I saw you putting the diesel into the new tank , it brought me back to 1970 when oud Dad got his first tractor I used to watch him pour diesel from a five gallon drum it meant he was going to go to some job and I get a jaunt part of the way and walk home , seeing you brought me back to a nine year old having a great summer on a diesel 20 Thanks Adrian

[@user-uq1io9cv4d]

Brings back memories. I sat my road test on a grey Fergie when I was sixteen, that was sixty years ago. Well done Adrian great job. I look forward to seeing your dad driving it.

[@joepowdely]

For a start the video if anything was not long enough. Great job Adrian it brings back memories when I was very young steering a twenty while my dad forked dung off a trailer (early dung spreader). Great to see your dad out and about his generation have forgotten more than we will ever know . 👍

[@diane8885]

I am a year older then this tractor. I think it is in better shape then I am!

[@shayhaveron6184]

Great video Adrian brings back memories of my father he had a tvo one I've got her up and running again

[@richardparkinson8651]

Well worth the effort to put it going, cracking job adrain, can tell you're dad was very impressed when he saw it running lifetime memories

[@Andy-ix2ox]

You have done a lot of work on the old girl, they were a well designed simple little tractor and boy did they do some amount of work in this country, the amount of land that was reclaimed in this area with a little grey fergie ( often two chained together) is unbelievable, they dragged stones five times their own weight to the ditch in almost every field in the parish and probably every other parish in the country.

[@peterdennehy4659]

Shes a belter😊well done

[@georgemorrison6689]

Well done Adrian, its nice to have something to take your mind off farming for a few hours, its such a buzz when something that you work on actually works and works great, enjoy seeing you beavering away, good luck to you and all the family

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes you have to break the routine the odd time 👍

[@kylebowersox3754]

The smile on your father's face was priceless!!!!

[@jimryan5724]

Great to see her up and running

[@peteharnetty926]

Hi Adrian, funny that you did this one this week. I just bought a ferguson traktor and a fingerbar mower to help with making our own hay 😊

[@richardleigh1762]

Great project Adrian , be a decent tractor when it's finished .

[@antmorgan5255]

Great job on the tractor and very happy birthday to you dad .

[@PACEZY]

Happy 90th birthday to your dad. Only the strong amongst us get there good on him well done. The pantry shelves filled with bottles of the pure and the back wall stacked from floor to ceiling with crates of liquid to wash it down. As for the Ferguson like himself it was the best in its day. Now it's time for the Ferguson and himself to ease up. It's good that some of our ancestors had the sense to brew something to help us reflect on the bygone days. Happy 90th to your dad. 🥂☘️

[@ilovetractors40]

Can't believe it its the 20

[@JRattheranch]

Great to see it finally Adrian. Scraped a few yards in my time using a 20! 👌👌👌

[@Mark-lz8yv]

Great video ur dad will love it out checking cattle on it 👍

[@brianmarshall1637]

We had the petrol engine only model always wished I had kept it,they will do a job of looked after ,I would say they were the spirited of agriculture.
