[@acorndogs904]

Anything with Michael O donavon needs to be watched

[@malcolmkitching4131]

Just discovered your KZbin site, wow what a nostalgia trip with Mr O’Donovan’s collection, especially the Scammell Routeman and the Leyland’s. I started work for St Albans Sand & Gravel in 1979 and my first truck was a Leyland Bison, then I progressed to a Routeman and finally a Constructor. By the way the guy with the Constructor in Hertford I know very well. Thanks for the memories.

[@gregarnold9244]

Those old Laylands were beyond their years when they first came out. Still a beautiful sight.

[@mingthemerciless6855]

Enjoy Michael O Donovan trucks. Brilliant!

[@DJC995]

Nice One Kurt word of the the day Day Tripper's 🤣 Thanks again

[@GrahamWP58]

Great giveaway for the younger generation, lovely old constructor i'm sure Michael will weave his magic. Make sure the Snowflakes are not around when using the pillar drill. Keep up the good work Kurt

[@LordMuck]

It's all fully safety compliant (for Somalia) so you don't even have to worry about that...

[@leenewman4344]

Lol, love the Kelly's heroes clipets, what a film!

[@billupstateny9151]

Also like the border collie portrait 👌

[@billupstateny9151]

Like the air freshener in upper corner 👍

[@grahamhaynes3420]

Great video again loved it

[@declanconway2903]

Great video again.

[@samdawes8927]

That's a stunning example of a constructor a proper gem 👌🏻👌🏻

[@davida.p.9911]

Great idea getting the kids some hands on. They certainly could benefit greatly from using their hands for something other than the phone. 👍 When i was young, I couldn't resist taking something apart to see and learn how it worked (much to the chagrin of my parents...lol) and now I can fix pretty much anything. Keep up the good work, Lord Muck! 🚛🚜

[@spannerdog123]

That is a fantastic Constructor, RMC colours, orange cab black chassis, look million dollars.

[@LordMuck]

Exactly 👌🏼

[@fredharrowven1040]

Great video mucker it is great that you are trying to inspire my generation and get them involved I bought my project tractor at age 14 I am now 16 and watching your videos has inspired me to fix her up and one day get her back working

[@LordMuck]

Go for it! 👍

[@dustymiller7758]

Great entertainment as always, that was a fantastic Leyland tipper they bought. It looked exceptional condition for it's age.

[@stephenbrogden3777]

Excellent video as always what a great chance for the youngsters 👍

[@leonardjackman354]

Another great video loved seeing the Leyland tipper had a new six wheeler tipper similar when they first came out.

[@richarddecoster4464]

[@nelsonannett5427]

that great on the tool kit. hard enough to get some teaching and learning let alone some tools to show you mean buisness. that will be awsome to get some chap out with you finally. great vid. cheers.

[@TheGingerGenius78]

Busy busy again Mucker !! I’m sure that’s an approved upgrade to any culvert tge wrapped wriggly tin 😂 Both competitions sound great always good to get the next generation out into the workshops and sheds tinkering ! Great of Doe’s to donate such a comprehensive prize ! Do well 👍👍

[@kevinmcdonnell2298]

Great video mucker and that giveaway is a great idea

Another great episode- certainly get about!! That's a great giveaway too!

[@Andy-From-England]

Another cracking video mucker

[@tonygiraldes7848]

Just the greatest plus a cameo from Calamity Kim 😀

[@mogwaifan7094]

There is a Leyland truck like that one for the last few years at stradbally steam fayre,Co. Laois, Ireland. Great stuff

[@stephenrichardson6105]

Great episode 👍 Loved the Constructor, served my apprenticeship working on them. Looked like it has had a rear suspension modification.

[@LordMuck]

Yes it had various modifications (as did most trucks back in the day) to keep them rolling and up to date with regulations or customer demands

[@stephenrichardson6105]

Yeah noticed the springs missing, beams on bottom of rear axle along with the earlier Hub Reductions. They change the Hub Reductions around 88 so could possibly have had either on. We changed a complete back end out on one to Rubber suspension with axles fitted after the later type Hub Reduction failed, locked up and twisted the splines on axle end.

[@LordMuck]

Atlas Aggregates had a similar issue if I remember

[@landyboy88]

What a competition with you and doe are doing. Look forward to seeing more of these mucking about episodes 👍🏻

[@robertsedgwick1629]

that T45 is a thing of beauty!

[@MADKIWI]

The Leyland is nice. I drove a blue 30-30 feed lorry with a blower in Devon. What a great truck. Turned like a 6 wheeler for an 8 legger. Royce Perkins pulled well...

[@stephenross1581]

Love these Mucking about videos, keep them coming bud 👌👌👌

[@AliMackMechanical]

[@tomdigby4463]

As always - best content on KZbin

[@daveadams4128]

Great as ever, can't wait for the Christmas competition ✌ ATB Dave

[@ianhaggart1438]

Good one sir. Glad to see folk keen to get youngsters into mechanics etc also glad your pushing it to as you have a great lot of New starts 😀 following you. Hope there's plenty old school mechanics out there to teach them though there's getting to many technicians/fitters now who only do or believe what the computer says 🤔 🙄 😆. Top end tools don't make you a great mechanic 😉🤣. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@warrickporter7602]

I enjoy watching your content mucker

[@samspringer7726]

Can't wait to see the tank video. How about clay shooting with a tank?. Now that would be something to see. Keep it up Mucker. Great videos.

[@LordMuck]

I struggle with a shotgun let alone a tank...

[@johnburns8010]

Mr donovan has some collection 👌miiint

[@shanedavies6846]

great plan with the comp for youngsters my nephew did not want to get off his but at 20 i eventually got him to help me services mower chainsaw etc.. he loves it now and helps more if it gets one lad out its a winner

[@LukeTuttlebury]

Nice video mucker ,wow I watch whistlindeisel he's nearly got 5 million subscribers,also can't wait to enter the competition

[@jamieshields9521]

I commended you Mucka n New Holland with offering big ass tool set👍I have encouraged my work colleagues to build tool set, plumbing, fencing with PPE gear for using on the farm. To get them started I made base list n made fencing key with name on it, for me time is money n I like doing my work professionally, been proud of jobs I do. Can’t wait to see young crew projects n what inspires them n their future career they want to do.

[@petefisk]

Good call on the tool box, will do a young en a turn.

[@christimbers7526]

Still got my project 55 calendar I won great channel watched for years now 👌🏻👌🏻

[@LordMuck]

Great to hear!

[@christimbers7526]

@@LordMuck love to meet you from Norfolk myself did see you at doe show you was talking to the bloke about methane tractor :)

[@LordMuck]

KZbin's very own Dave Redman 😉

[@micksroversmg558]

Tilcon colours of that era was red grey and blue! Used too work on a few owner driver Constructors as a kid not done anything other than cars light commercials etc since about 14 years old! My pal who repaired the HGV Stoped repairing them when Tarmac bought Tilcon out and made all owner drivers by new trucks!

[@simonmercer9530]

Great idea to encourage the younger generation 👍🏼

[@stevenboyd6196]

Another awesome episode Lord Muck

[@robertwhatmore7195]

Super Leyland Constructor in great order

[@sandwichbar8226]

🚜 let's go!

[@ginggur17]

Omg, now that Tonka Dozer, I was looking at the very same in an Antiques place over in Florida, I very nearly purchased it, but refrained due to no room in the luggage ☹️

[@matthewt52]

Keep them coming mucker👍🏻

[@tractorman810]

we had one of those leyland, same age, on the farm, had a drop side grain body on the back ,was great as a kid sat in the passenger side of to the depot at diss after loading up from our silo ,which took bloody ages with a 6” auger mind 😆😆😆

[@simonjones7785]

makes me wish I was 18 again ( a top box of tools , I started with a 5tray cantilever box but I worked my way up ro a britool top box and lower cab , come on all you youngsters get your note in

[@Jim-Scott]

Ooh, I like that idea of wrapping a bit of roofing sheet round a pipe. I've been trying to figure out a cheapskate way of putting a culvert in a ditch, and I think you've solved it for me!!

[@paulatkinson2849]

Bet u will need a wide screen camera to shoot the footage of u driving that tank those tanks in ur mates shed are great lot of time and skill involved I bet 👍

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Watched them all but will brush up on them ready for the exam/ competition 😅

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Nice

[@stu.smith79]

I’ll tell you what I haven’t seen for ages is foden trucks im surprised that mr o’donovon hasn’t got one. I used to leave near some army test tracks many years ago and seeing the big old foden recovery trucks hurtling about

[@renofesta4400]

Would love to see it painted in ARC livery👍

[@stugill4513]

er lord muck if i put my grandsons school uniform on cud i enter the tool comp ???? no seriesly i think its a great idea of yours to get youngsters oily and fixing things

[@markphillips6998]

First apparently 🤷‍♂️ the last time I arrived this early the youngest was born 😂

[@JonDingle]

Good stuff melod. I remember those Leyland trucks. And the Leyland Clydesdale milk tankers of the MMB before them and as a kid, the Ford D Series flat bed trucks that picked up milk churns at the end of dairy farm tracks. You could hear them coming because of the rattling chains and empty churns. How old am l? Too fecking old! Top regards.

[@gtametro]

Those T45 cabs love to rot the front cab mounts, my old Roadtrain had a bit of a list to one side thanks to tin worm eating the front mounts. A lovely Jamaican chap bought it from me and exported it to Africa. Got 3x what I was offered by anyone in the UK. 🤣

[@davidgibbings6085]

Another great vid and good to see Kim 👍hi kurt I watch fitter Matt also and joe hewes , who does own all that military stuff as fitter Matt seem to have the say ?

[@LordMuck]

It's Joe Hewes stuff

[@billupstateny9151]

With hair more blonde, did not recognise Kimberly, but who else would be a motocross hell raiser ❓🙈

[@simonperry330]

Croasdales from Near Stratford on Avon still Running a Volvo F88 and Matador on Timber you should track them down.

[@stevehill4484]

Respect Mr odonavon that constructor is qaulity

[@chuckle30]

Hope the questions are going to be easy think I've watched all videos not sure that I'll remember them all🙈

[@Woodn509]

You ought to be let loose behind the scenes at the REME Museum overflow collection, I may happen to know the director of the museum and the overflow curator……

[@LordMuck]

Sounds like an idea...

[@michaelhorn5633]

"how much authorisation have i got, fuc***g all of it " love that mucker 😂

[@caroldave4037]

Wow never seen a T45 since my cousin who bought one new back in the 80s...its actually the only truck ive driven...not got a licence for trucks..

[@Spadunked]

Hello mucker, discovered your channel recently and probably seen 10-20 of your videos so far. It's great seeing some of the projects you've done but as somebody with very limited space and an interest in learning mechanics/restoration, is there anything you could suggest having a tinker with? I'm in a normal semi detached house and my sheds already full with a motorcycle and other bits. Tractors/dozers/cars would be great but I simply don't have the space at home. Do well.

[@LordMuck]

Why not try a mower ?

[@reeceswann4]

Making Wednesday that little bit better kurt. Hope your keeping well 🍻

[@LordMuck]

Trying to mate. You got your Rok sorted ?
