The Ultimate 90th Birthday Gift || 1955 Ferguson TEF20 Is Reborn After A Long Fought Battle

[@dellhell8842]

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

[@LordMuck]

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

[@tdolan500]

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

[@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 👍

[@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.

[@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. 👍

[@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

[@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 👌

[@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 🙏

[@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.

[@thewatchman6074]

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

[@mauriceargue1786]

Super video Adrian and happy birthday to your dad .

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Happy 90th to you father ❤️🎂

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@lorddraper]

Runs good glad your dads happy you know that the old wheels had early centres

[@tessaelvan5149]

what a great looking tractor, would be great seeing your Dad on it bless him Happy Birthday wow 90. thank you

[@jerridellbates9145]

[@jix177]

Fair play. And by the looks of things, you never get too old for the Proud Dad face!

[@PA3456]

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

[@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.

[@Emg2463]

Happy man and his machine ! Congrats on bringing her back to life ! ☺👌

[@muckyteeth3076]

Videos are never too long Adrian

[@Eamo-21]

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.

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

What a lovely thing to do for your dad. You are very lucky to have him at 90 yrs young. Happy birthday grandad. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Ali_Arma]

I love that sound, proper machine

[@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!

[@Gearoid35]

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

[@wayneorourke658]

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

[@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.

[@pit_stop77]

Happy birthday to yer old Pa. He's seen some history enact itself in his lifetime ❤

[@LTeppler]

What a beautiful machine. I am so happy for your dad!! :D This could have been 45 minutes or more and I happily would have watched it.

[@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.

[@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 👍

[@jonathanjackman7246]

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

[@terrymolloy6997]

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

[@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. 👍

[@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 . 👍

[@gloriagavaneli9862]

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

[@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

[@charlesharkin5602]

Happy birthday to your father Adrian

[@evanwalsh121]

good man adrian!!! excellent video.. happy birthday to your dad.. he must be delighted

[@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.

[@shirleysousa1133]

Happy Birthday to your dad. You enjoy rebuilding it to bring it back to life

[@dekdek551]

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

[@calyireland3547]

Unreal Adrian glad to see it running! And happy birthday to your Da! 🎉

[@kevinryan3475]

Great video been a while but worth the wait good to see your dad out and about

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@noelwalsh4205]

Great video and happy 90 th birthday to your dad

[@paddypoolfc3579]

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

[@kylebowersox3754]

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

[@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

[@kieranmcgroary5426]

Well Adrian, it truly is a credit to u the way u leave things & fix them properly, great wee tractor, going very good, fair play to u Adrian, great video, chat soon, kieran from Laghey donegal town

[@keithhetherington2397]

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

[@peterhenson6303]

[@shayhaveron6184]

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

[@gerryoconnor8751]

Very enjoyable is right Adrian, and to see the look on your Dad's face. He looks great and must be very proud of you 👏.

[@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

[@randybutler4772]

This is going to be another successful project. Your Dad will be so pleased. Thank you for sharing.

[@Clarkesfarm]

Great video! Would do your heart good to see her back running and in her former glory. Great work.

[@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 😊

[@dominickfagan4050]

Fair play and Happy birthday to your Dad

[@johnhayes4110]

Well Done Adrian, Congrats to your Dad on he's 90 Birthday, Glad Lord muck helped you out I remember sending you links to he's channel way back when you started doing video s on the 20 you should arrange to meet up with hem& George Sounders some time make a video, great video brings back meny memories ☺️

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Planning a trip to the uk sometime so hopefully so 👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 🥂☘️

[@richardleigh1762]

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

[@roadwarrior8560]

You're a mighty man Adrian, must be very satisfying to hear that sweet wee engine fire up, that's a great little impact screwdriver, must look for one of them, I hope to see you father driving her soon, well done so far, great work.

[@radharcanna]

Great work on the tractor Adrian. The sweet sound of the engine brings me back to my childhood in the 1960s, when a neighbour (the only one with a tractor in the locality) would come to do jobs for us. It must be a great feeling to get it running again.

[@massey7616]

Great video Adrian, great to see tractor running.

[@michaelking9254]

I have just joined you and an very happy to have done so. The way you explain things and just have a go is brilliant. The Ferguson tractor you are working on takes me back to my youth which is great. I am not a farmer or a mechanic, just an interested party. Well done on your KZbin.

[@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 👍

[@Dermot501]

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

[@Mark-lz8yv]

[@JRattheranch]

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

[@dwdalling3123]

Thanks for this, brought back great memories of my late father and my childhood learning to plough.

[@garymadden2656]

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

[@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 👍

[@LordIronFoot]

Adrian, just wanted to mention the centres of the old wheels you have are the ORIGINAL type and hard to find, I suggest getting them off the rims and cleaning them up, replace the centre on the new rims and she will look AMAZING! Hope you find yourself well, love the videos! Keep it up! :D

[@LordIronFoot]

Just hit the part where you gave them away, shame as the centers are a bugger to find haha! Either way you've done a great job on the old girl! :)

[@patriciamccormack7626Teashee]

That was Amazing Adrian 👍🏆 How you have worked so long and hard to restore that lovely auld tractor 🤗 and seeing your Da's face ❤ What a lovely Son you are🥇❤ I was 😂 when you said about the 🧤 to protect your 🐾😂 Happy 90th Birthday to your Da 🎂🍻🍾🥃🎉❤
