WHAT DID WE BUY ?

You chose it, now what is it ? We reveal what we bought and why as we begin a series of how to get a tractor to a reliable running condition for a sensible price.
So what did we buy ?

[@jamieaustin6403]

Love her grin at 14:15 when the tractor moves off.

[@seamusdunne7129]

One of the best little tractors ever made!!

[@kylemccann2500]

Love the knowledge that you give. Cheers to you and the lass!

[@flamingskoda]

Ford 3000. Earlier this year a guy came and topped the field opposite our cottage with a diesel Fergie. 70 years old and still doing good work.

[@LordMuck]

and the tractor ?...

[@gilbert7346]

I’m 14 and I have just restored on if these tractors during lockdown

[@LordMuck]

Nice job 👍

[@gilbert7346]

Thanks

[@BIGRIG2005.]

That’s great! I’m 15 and doing up a Nuffield 4/65 at the moment 👍

[@RumbleRoverTV]

my dad have a Nuffield Mini.

[@chuckle30]

My mate's got one he wanted to demolish the shed it was parked in not been going for at least 10 years gave it a pull and it fired straight up didn't even put fresh fuel in it lovely sounding engine.

[@SootyDiesel81]

I’ve got a TEF diesel here in Australia it’s what I first learnt to drive before a car love the thing, pulls a 7 tine case chisel plow and 14 plate Daniel Harvey trailing disc

[@tigerspook1]

Ford 3000....... Love the ole grey Ferguson, first tractor I ever drove when I was just 11 yrs old,...

[@paulbache3940]

I know a couple of guys in Norway that these, left out all summer, when the snow comes, the battery goes back in and they are used for snow clearing

[@johndonohue4153]

I should be studying, but it's time for this!

[@ndelockedout]

Cracking little tractor, I remember driving one with a set of gang mowers as a lad. It was left for dead at the local cricket club and bought by my uncle, now used to drive a home made log splitter 👍

[@jimdavison4981]

Brilliant what a tractor . Well done . TO BOTH of you

[@TrevLTR]

Brings back happy memories of my TEF20 tractor restoration in 1987. First engine I stripped & rebuilt, started & ran lovely. Only thing was it had the Standard car exhaust manifold, so the vertical exhaust wasn't vertical. Keep up the great vid's Sir.

[@rudatheboy]

I had a tvo and a tef , loved them both so easy to work on and fun to spin around in.

[@markjarvis7637]

Greed takes over, do both SIR

[@keithrogerson1762]

John Deere Loving the new intro. And great vid, yet again. Looks like ive lots fun to look forward to rebuilding a siezedengine in my TEF.

[@andrewmear8704]

This year we inherited a petrol/ tvo fergie 1954 it’s been fully restored and is currently in hiding under blankets in the shed hoping for a bit of a ru out next year. Great video as always Ford as much as I love my Deere’s I think the Ford is easier to save!!!

[@truckerlee47]

Would love to see the old 3000. I went from one of those to a David Brown 12 12. So for a bit of nostalgia really.

[@channeljp1607]

Brilliant vid as ever. Lovely little tractor 🚜

[@Fourwheeledfarming]

Oh and like the new opening sequence. Very posh! Do well!

[@michaelford4703]

Great job the big smile when it moved says it all thanks for the video and all your hard work and I'd like to see the John Deere thank you Michael UK

[@billupstateny9151]

Really like the introduction, if it is not new, then I've been asleep @ the switch.

[@LordMuck]

No, it's the first time I've used it Bill.

[@conkers126]

The smile on both of your faces when the tractor starts moving is priceless 😂. It’s what it’s all about👍 top job, nice to see things being done properly

[@LordMuck]

It's a good feeling 😉

[@CZK224]

Not everyones cup of tea but still a great little tractor. Really enjoyed that vid. Started dating herself nearly 5 years ago and was being introduced to her parents and her dad could see straight away I was a country boy and liked my toys. Within 5 minutes of meeting him we were out in the shed chatting about this and that, BUT in the corner was this 4 cylinder tef, stripped down to nearly the last bolt, parts everywhere. Interest caught me and asked about it. It was sitting there in the corner stripped like that for nearly 30 years ENGINE NEAR SIZED and he said, sometime ill get that going. And I was laughing in my head sayin ya that'll never see the light of day again. Well following winter he got the motivation and began by pouring kerosene and waste oil mix into cylinders every evening and giving it a very slight turn on the pully, repeated process for several weeks untill he got the full roatation freely. Put her all back together and painted her up. That tractor will start hail rain snow or frost now. Gave him an old transport box I had and he flys around on it doing on jobs. Real credit to him. Ford 3000, like my massys but a ford man at heart 👍

[@kenreeve6549]

I put a little P3Perkins in one ,35hp worked great , great wheel barrow!

[@ComputerExplodes]

Love you explanation of ether use (diesel smack, smack for engines).

[@sheeplad2578]

Me and my dad love watching your videos and the new intro is good 👍🏻👍🏻

[@alanwykes4191]

Great vid as usual, lovely to see the old fergie my grandad had the petrol tvo one lovely little tractor in it's day. My vote goes for the Ford 3000

[@colmkennedy3109]

Great video Kurt 👍🏻 Ford 3000

[@banditbeggers533]

Great video mate. And yer totally agree why clean something that you don’t no work or runs. Or even if it will run

[@steveransley7227]

Another great video thanks.

[@williamparker6931]

2130 👌 been so long since we last saw it that I think a little re-cap would be ideal!

[@russb3816]

Thanks for adding to my weekly entertainment. You always get me laughing and smiling. I would love to see the John Deere.

[@landyboy88]

Afternoon muck. Would be interesting to see more of the ford 3000 as definitely a machine I was very fond of when I started work have a good weekend all

[@andybowyer3602]

NEW INTRO IS BOSS!! Well done MUKKAH!! An ill be happy with whatever video you put up😏 im sure all your videos are GOOD SHIT MAN!

[@connermcleod3373]

Great vid kurt, good ol fergie there, got a 1948 tea20 with the slightly newer engine in, in the garage which is abit of a temperamental bugger, I say the 2130 vid

[@philgardener7018]

Another great video thanks

[@gregb77]

I have a tea50 ferguson and I'm amazed how similar the petrol model is to the diesel. On mine where the aux tank and starter fluid tank is my battery is there. When I got mine the thermostat housing was so corroded it had been leaking onto the rocker cover and rotted that out too. Got it cheap because it would only run for a few minutes and then die. The fuel tap was so clogged because the pre filter was missing

[@LordMuck]

Nice work 👌🏼

[@interman1968]

Another good video , love the Fergie's , Restored a few of them myself. Lets see the Ford 3000. Everyone is doing JD's. Keep safe

[@ckck7916]

Have like 👍🏻 and loved it so very good as always good job and good man just love it all

[@timstephenson4520]

that ladies smile is infectious, like the cat that got the cream.

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video, nice little tractor, send it!!!! Ford 3000.

[@philippwickert2851]

Looks good and sounds great.

[@andrewgreen619]

Timing is everything with those 20c engines. As soon as the timing chain wears they become hard to start. Great content at the minute. we appreciate the effort that goes into making them!

[@LordMuck]

Yep, timing is everything with them.

[@cubleycat]

I used to drive a diesel 20 when I a kid and occasionally got to drive the MF35 which had the 3 cylinder engine and was awesome. I managed to get my self a MF35x a couple of years ago and it is really awesome. When it comes to sniff farmers always said ‘don’t use easy start or it will always need it to start’ but its like no! it just needs it to start because its rubbish when its cold. PS l like the video clips you pop in there, stuff the whining wallies I say. ;-)

[@royster211085]

Just a point - I was always told to wash a car (i know, not a tractor) if it had been sat. The theory being you can see what the bodywork is like before starting work, bodywork being more expensive to sort than (some) mechanical issues. love the intro!

[@LordMuck]

There's not a lot of bodywork to worry about on a tractor...

[@brianmeattey4151]

Nice .looks like a massy 135 like my dad had .but his was reg fuel but ya I love that style of tractor ..so looking forward to this vid

[@stuartrussell8529]

Another great video!

[@buzbygolf]

Quite agree start first wash after ! And Ford 3000 please !😊👍

[@pseudopetrus]

Nice little tractor!

[@brianmeattey4151]

[@patkelly7999]

[@jamessparrow6549]

[@Risenfoenyx]

Loved the new intro,great video 👏again! 2130 .......mucka

[@vincentwalker7134]

The little ford 3000 for me, mind you John deere would be ok too. Anyway I'm not bothered thanks for finding the time to film and upload the video's and keeping us entertained...👍👍👍

[@pdb4382]

I'd enjoy seeing the Deere get run through, just because of personal history, but I'm sure I'll enjoy either for content. Thanks for the content.

[@ianritchie126]

The 4cyl 35 was the pig to start , the 23c

[@vincenttaylor6478]

An excellent video again really interesting. Ford 3000.

[@stevebloke5455]

dear john, looks like a weapon with those steel wheels. great vid enjoyed it.

[@robertgearey589]

Good honest enjoyable video bud 👍, and the Ford would be nice to see

[@HarryStephenson]

Great intro and video as always

[@lescross1629]

Great video Mucker farm next to me growing up had three of them little fergies , but ime a ford man has to be the 3000

[@ProjectMarlin]

Great video as always. My votes for the old JD 2130

[@WinemakerJim]

Thank you for this. Long time subscriber, 1st time comment. I have two old landini 75f advantage. Trying to get them running so I can get my farm up and running. Welcome to come visit us in sunny RSA

[@LordMuck]

Cheers !

[@mattthomas2836]

excellent video , i used one on a shit scraper as a kid , very pretty assistant 👌

[@agripro3498]

Great video, I like to see the John Deere 2130 winterisation

[@nathanjohnson7779]

Love this guy he is so funny and does stuff proper

[@cianrocke9531]

If the heater plug works and the cold start button on the pump they will start no problem. No need for easy start because they will only start knocking and tapping. Mine starts no bother in any weather.

[@garygreen3062]

Awesome vid 👍👍👍.

[@fergalcasey6700]

Great video as always love ur knowledge Ford 3000

[@floydpalmer2492]

Great video really like the intro and the john deere gets my vote

[@darklord1984]

U da man you say it how it is no messing around and talking bollocks u just just say how it is love it

[@Paul-vd2sp]

John Deere for me. Enjoying your vids - keep up the good work!!

[@jamieshields9521]

Great job on grey feggie, I am little tea pot, tip me over LOL interesting that tractor got all those features. Mmm I like Ford 3000 but real challenge will JD, so it’s JD vid👍

[@AliMackMechanical]

My brother's got the Ferguson Te20 started out life as PP and is now a P3 Perkins. His one is a 1945 he reckons it was coveted but in the 60s. Never fails to start he has just replaced the front axle support. Belarus looking forward to seeing it. Ford 3000 pls buddy.👌👍

[@arronosmond5078]

Ford 3000 and another great vid kurt now you got a fergie you wont stop!!.

[@What..a..shambles]

You sure can make a funny vid, i like these and someone has spent some time on it ,thumbs up

[@garrystrawson6611]

Top work once again 👍 got to be the little 3000

[@avandriver]

Ford 300 . Love the old fergies I dont live on a farm or even have acces to one but I would love to own a little fergie .

[@zstation64]

3000 every day mate. You can push the JD back in to the hedge, that's where it belongs 😄

[@stuartrance277]

Another great video, although I’m not a great fergie lover myself, your channel must appeal to all to make their own minds up !! Younger views may like the smaller tractors , 😊, As the video went on , the tractor did start to grow on me too ????? Like moss maybe ???? But it was nice to see the maintenance going on !! Got to remember though Prince Andrew got rid of his fergie too though !!!!!!😆As a proud owner of a JD 4020, then the choice is easy ............ Ford 3000 please🤣🤣🤣just like that simple little thing , reminds me of myself !!

[@AlexanderJuholaJones]

Had a 35 TVO with the 4 cylinder 87mm. What a massive piece of shite that thing was. Had it for four years and it never ran right, replaced the head gasket, rebuilt the carb and replaced all the gaskets that could allow a vacuum leak. Replaced the timing chain, fitted electronic ignition to get rid of those pesky points. And much more.... Still ran like shit so it was sold.

[@Erik_Blomgren]

I've heard a lot about the Standard 4 cylinder diesels, but I've never had any personal experience with them. This one seemed to run great though! The Standard petrol engines are solid, we've got 2 of them and they are great engines!

[@normansandds757]

I think your lass has a new toy lol

[@liamsmith1310]

I'd like to see the 2130 👌🏻 really enjoyed this vid and it Is a surprisingly good fergie

[@tomstevens751]

Great channel!

[@davestinson5691]

Love the new intro. Ford 3000

[@farmersson6721]

The 3000!! Love that little thing

[@Countrystock]

Loving the new intro......nice little fergie that 👍

[@LordMuck]

Glad you like it

[@michaelplatts8052]

Only the interior decorator kind of barstool mechanic would claim that washing something makes it run better. Fix it first, wash it later. Make it go before you bother to show. Otherwise you've still got nothing but a better looking lawn ornament. Great vid, as usual Kurt. I'd have to vote for the Ford 3000 next.

[@ginggur17]

Nice new intro there fella. Hope ya keeping well bud. 👍

[@JesseEder]

Great video as always definitely the ford 3000 since I am a ford lover & my dad has a 50yr old ford 3600 so definitely the ford 3000

[@pwcummins4]

Love the intro !!!

[@gerarddavies1344]

I think the little tank was for the Ki Gass pump. It pumped fuel over an ignitor coil in the inlet manifold.

[@LordMuck]

No, its an auxiliary fuel tank - the Ki-gas tank is the one up top on the R/H side.

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

Lord Muck, you and the young lady make a good team. I watched her help you on the dozer too. Bring on the 3000 Ford.

[@stevencowles8419]

Learnt to drive on a small Massey Ferguson and I'd guess that many other subscribers did too

[@garethifan1034]

Film us the Ford 3000 lad - I like the look of it. First tractor I ever put a clutch in myself in the field after finishing Ag Mech Course in 87..

[@richardadams6085]

Great video, nice little Ferguson do the Ford 3000

[@cpedersen474]

Good stuff as always.

[@LordMuck]

Appreciate that

[@mikeclifton7778]

John Deere for me, another excellent video today Mucker!
