Bringing This OLD Worn Out Massey 50B Digger Back To LIFE - Part 2

[@zischeriboy8641]

I always love seeing these old machines getting the love they deserve after all these years of hard work. Very nice camera work and explaining as well! Keep up the good work

[@andrewjones-productions]

I think that I am really going to love watching this project! In the first video on this B50 Digger, I joked that Adrian being Adrian, will have it fully restored by the time he has finished. Well, in the strictest sense of 'full-restoration', Adrian may not go that far, but I am seriously confident and with all joking aside, that it will be a very capable and safe machine by the time Adrian has finished with it. I really like Adrian's attention to detail and the way he keeps his machinery clean and tidy. Thus ensuring their longevity. I am really looking forward to the next episode on this digger.

Spent many hrs on a 50b, great machine back in the day

Essential Sunday morning viewing 💯❤️

If I have to use any tape outside I use self amalgamating tape that is designed for aerial and satellite cables, it is silicone, waterproof, electrically insulated, only sticks to itself and UV resistant. Worth keeping a roll in the spares box!

[@PhilyCul]

It's like the part of 'The Van' where they're cleaning the ins and outs of it before it's fit to get into shape.. loved it.

Outstanding video Adrian! We are Totally glued to this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 All the very best from Stevie & Diane! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌🏼👌🏼

I hope she doesn’t mind 😁

[@douglasmorton6121]

Looking better already!!!

[@TheJimcrooks800]

Love to see the very experience-based problem solving and the use of skills and knowledge developed over the years of just working with stuff! Welding? No problem! Electrical? No problem! Engineering? No problem! Great to watch the varied content and learn so much from you.

[@ronaldlucas5360]

You are so good at so many different jobs thanks

Another great video Adrian can’t wait to see it up and running 👍👍👍

She’s getting there Adrian she’ll look the business when your done 💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻

[@dronedairys7461]

Brilliant video lad. I admire your patience

[@Tommynaughton2906]

Absolutely love your videos of you working on machinery. The way you show everything and explain everything and don’t jump to things being finished is great, especially for myself who wouldn’t know any parts of tractors. You’ve got me wanting to restore an old tractor now. Keep up the great work Adrian love your videos.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Thank you Tommy

[@neiljenkins5213]

WOW i worked on a farm near northalerton 28 years ago who had a 50b usefull machine very versatile machine

[@darren.hilldrup]

Hi there , you’ll be pleased to learn I just bought a 50B and it should arrive on next Tuesday. I’ll keep,you posted it’s got a 4 in one front bucket and a ditching rear and a footing bucket also. Really looking forward to getting her home. Then the oils and filters will be getting changed )) will probably use a flushing detergent before changing the oil after seeing what trouble you had. 👍

[@TheSparkysdog]

Adrian that's made a massive difference already, looking forward to watching the rest of the restoration, I know you'll do a tidy job on it and it will be back to working condition in no time. Thanks for the videos 👌👍

[@robdixon945]

Thanks for the show Adrian 🍻🇦🇺

[@arlenegariepy8957]

Your new workshop is paying for it's self now Adrian it makes working on your projects a little more easier as it helps repairs move along. Your experience and know how is fun to watch and alows the viewer to see how it can be done. :)

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

I am sure MacGyver could learn a lot from you. I love watching you create and rebuild things 😊👍👍❤️

[@richardpreen8942]

Had one in 1974 and trade it in for another one in 77,had to put a new pivot post on it,dad had to drive up to the factory to pick it up because they forgot to send it on complete nightmare, good luck with yours

[@irishdancer2753]

Adrian, you are definitely a “handyman!” Well done mate~ super work!! You make all of your repairs seem so easy …looking forward to the rest of this project!

[@bencarter2334]

Your workshop bench looks neat and tidy. You would really hate mine. 😂😂😂.

Nice one Adrian, she going to be a good one, keep at her Lad!

[@randybutler4772]

Good winter project. So much more to do. Best of luck. Thank you for sharing.🐄

[@DOGSARETHEBEST.]

Same here. Really enjoying this latest project.

[@nickhill3362]

I have a old Jcb 3cx in the back of the barn don't use it much but every now and then it saves the day 😄 hope you have similar relationship with the Massey in the future Adrian

[@erictrace]

These videos of you rebuilding equipment are so educational and inspiring.

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Great video, We had one of those on the farm brand new in the seventies. It was a superb machine, quiet, warm, easy to drive. However I did prefer the JCB corner to corner controls.

[@chrisharris8727]

I love watching you working on and restoring this old Massey and makes me want to go and get my tools out. As a retired truck and machinery mechanic who grew up on a farm in my early years many moons ago I think the older machines are so much easier to work on and were definitely better built with decent steel and simple electrics and hardly a piece of plastic anywhere. Keep up the great work and you should be proud of your brilliant channel.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Thanks Chris, yes older stuff is definitely easier to work on. If you like this sort of stuff then check out Diesel Creek and Andrew Camarata as well 👍

[@chrisharris8727]

@@IFarmWeFarm Thank you for the reply I'm subscribed to quite a few repair and restore channels including Diesel Creek. Another one of my personal favourites is Cutting Edge Engineering based in Australia but I really like your channel and Lord Muck because of the farm connection 😀👍

This is going to be a really fun series watching you reclaiming the digger. Really looking good already.

I'd say yourself and father Phil would get on great both very knowledgeable about machines n restoration.

[@bertoltb13]

Great start to this project. Looking forward to the next one.

[@richardmorgan9918]

Great to watch how you approach all your tasks …. Methodical, practical and patient - on video at least! Can’t wait to see progress on this machine

[@keithmckenna7447]

Some man for tackling the jobs yourself 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great stuff Adrain, good that the steering is ok as that's normally requires a fair bit of sorting. Looking forward to the next repairs and seeing it working. 👍

Aww, Adrian, I was hoping to hear a wee toot! 📯😁

Thanks Pat 👍

[@jimpolk]

Quite the project Adrian. Good work. Looking forward to more videos of this project.

[@bobuncle8704]

Adrian, I do like the solder seal connectors, but definitely agree that in situations like this the good ole’ ways the best. Also, when I picked up my Dewalt cordless heat gun, it was a game changer for electrical work.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Never really liked this heat gun, not much power to it. Yours might be a newer model

[@bobuncle8704]

@@IFarmWeFarm definitely do need to use it on high. That’s true. Does the solder seal connectors well enough.

Really looking forward to seeing this restoration i drove my uncles 50B for years

[@thepeoplespal5]

Life affirming is all I can say about this video Adrian. Love your videos fixing old gear properly, makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

[@alanyoung7655]

Good video as per usual... it can be rather good therapy too fix up old machinery...just a little at a time when your quiet...small victories...👍

Good luck with your new project I am sure like every thing else you will bring it back to its former glory This whole project makes me eager for your next episode so that I can share in your sucess Thank you for sharing your life with us I know that it brightens my day

Cant wait to see this restored and all fix. Keep it up sir! I always love to watch your vids. I wish i work on a farm like yours. Godbless more vids to come😊

[@shirleysousa1133]

It will be so cool seeing that machine coming back to life

[@cdemo1186]

Really enjoyable video Adrian, I have no doubt by the time you are finished the massey will be a serious addition to the farm. I think the reason you couldn't open the rung nut is that you were actually tightening it.Both with the vise grips and when you welded the nut. I maybe wrong but it looked that way to me. Keep up the good work. 🖒

[@1ninjatiger]

Loving watching this being restored 👍🏻

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

You’re doing a great job Adrian that machine will do you well once you’ve finished with it, all these small jobs add up to a very tight useable machine. Keep doing what you let doing.

[@lewisj1094]

Morning Adrian, what a fabulous project, really looking forward to this restoration project and looking at the bear bones I think you have the makings of a beautiful machine. thanks for sharing. look forward to these vids every Sunday.

[@davidyoung4830]

Adrian, absolutely brilliant video, even mentioning about the fabric tape and the sotch joiners been not the best too use. Your teaching us something new ever time you put up a video like this one. I have a Jcb 3cx too old as it is , a bit of motivation you give me now to tidy it up too.!!! Brilliant tips and tricks to get the job done, great satisfaction when work on the digger is getting done

[@Canningfarms]

Making a great job of it adrian that will be a seriously handy machine to have around the place great video all the best

[@thomasjones3946]

Lovely little project there. after you've done your magic it'll be a great piece of kit cracking job Adrian 👏👏

[@jimgardner9044]

One thing I like to use is a small circular wire brush in a cordless drill. I go round the threads of a bolt I need to remove, then a bit of penetrating spray it gives me every chance to undo it all the way out without it going tight half way out and snapping off. You are doing a grand job there! Jim in New Zealand.

[@earlepriest2544]

Wow it looks like it’s had a polish up. I know you’ve only just started it but I love it can’t wait to watch the progress keep it going Adrian your doing a great job thank you

A good investment would be ab adapter hitch on front so you can use your loader attachments on front end

Looking forward to this one

[@rogerquenault7207]

Fantastic video as always, nice to see old equipment getting a new life instead of going to the scrap yard, I’m positive that it will still be running when a lot of this modern stuff is falling apart, cant beat a mechanical lever compared to an electric solenoid as a lever can always be fixed but if they stop making the correct type of solenoid you are knackered.
