This is the first start up of my 35 after its restoration in May 2017. This restoration included a full engine rebuild, a hydraulic pump rebuild and a good few other bits and pieces along the way along with a thorough strip back to bare metal and a full respray. As part of the restoration I also fabricated my own vertical exhaust, along with the Ki-gass pump and a couple of other things.
This tractor has been in the family since new in 1959 and so I wanted to give it the attention it deserved and make it look like new again!
This is literally the first start up after the rebuild and restoration so there was no testing of the engine beforehand. I had tested the hydraulics before starting work on the rest of the tractor so I knew that side of things were alright. The start up was a very worrying time for me (look at the worry on my face!) as I didn't fancy the prospect of taking things apart now that everything was painted up. Luckily, the only minor problem was a slight fuel leak from No.4 injector union!
All in all the start up was a success and my new exhaust sounded fine too.
