Oil Tractor Hidden In A Barn

Lube up and start of The Bolinder Munktell Bm20 from 1948. It is a two-stroke 2cyl hot bulb engine in it. We bought this tractor many years ago. but we just unloaded it from the trailer and put it here in my dads neighbours barn. Then almost forgot about it, but now i am going to have a vintage engine rally at my place this weekend, so i wanted it home by then.
When running and lubed up i decided to drive it home. 40 Kilometers or oround 30 Miles. It all went wery well.
Im going to make more videos of this tractor in the future, And use it here on the farm.
Thanks, and please Subscribe to my channel.

Nice tractor thanks for sharing

[@ianpickersgill3211]

After 73 years the condition of that tractor is amazing. It must have had some good owners during its life. It was nice to see that it is still being looked after well.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

sweeet find! Enjoyed all Videos so far of this Tractor ! Thank you for Sharing your Projects!

My father had a BM20 tractor and I use to drive it very often, but my father started it.

[@mr.shannon6137]

We may need this technology again in the future. I imagining a scenerio like this; Once the bulk of fossil fuels are gone . Agriculture will be mostly small farms again. Being powered by human, horse, cow, wind and solar. After harvest some of there corn, or soy crops is set aside to make oil to drive a tractor and wagon to the nearest steam powered rail road, to take there goods to market.

I live in the US, have been into tractors since as a boy I lived on my Uncles farm. Now in my 60’s I regularly go to organized antique tractor & small engines events in my area. I bring my own stuff, buy sell and love to talk tractors with other enthusiasts. I do my share of watching utube for rigs that are new to me. You deal with old but runnable European examples that are quite fascinating! I have revived similar old implements and odd things but your machines I would never see over here. Your channel is very relaxing and interesting at the same time! You have a nice vibe and you like to share your passion with the rest of the world. Thankyou

[@swedishcrowbar4211]

Have you ever seen a Volvo Bm in real life?

[@nhmtrhd]

@@swedishcrowbar4211 I have never seen one over here. I feel there are a lot more US tractors over there than European tractors over here.

I’m so glad I found this channel, I love the fact that you maintain and keep things running. I’d rather see something that has a bit of history and runs instead of something sitting in a scarp yard or rotting in a field sadly

[@dwightcarlson7136]

My grand parents emigrated from Sweden in the late 1890's to homestead in Canada. Visited some relatives in early 2000's in Sweden. Really amazed that you can make a living on the size of the Swedish farms that we saw. Love to see more videos of your equipment and farming methods. Real pleasure to watch you work!👍👍👍

[@essexfarmer9610]

Excellent! Thank you so much for uploading this piece of tractor history. It's very well made to still be so reliable, provided you attend to her many maintenance needs! Very brave of you to drive it rather than trailer it! But I think you know her well, so you knew she would make it! Thank you once again from an English Farmer.

[@jc5445]

Love old machines. I drive a fuel truck for the local farm co-op, and I see a lot of rusty old machines sitting in fields and sheds, all of them not in serviceable condition. Nice to see some working instead of rotting.

Exactly. Machines like to work even old ones. Keeps them living longer.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thanks! 😊

[@jackx4311]

To many people, these days, having to spend 20 minutes pre-heating the engine might seem a very long time - but there's nothing to stop the driver from doing something else while waiting; and it's still VERY much quicker than feeding, grooming, and harnessing up even one horse (yes, I've done it, so I know!). You must look at vintage machinery in the context of the time; in their day, tractors like this were a big step forward.

[@user-dr1bv7gg1r]

My father once said ,two hours to feed the horses groom harness then brakefast I said good day dad anser like hell but I where 19 teen and new nowt else good west Cumberland dad miss him just saying

[@hopingforthebest1.9]

Oh yes. And they are actually very nice to use. Very little vibrations and strong. /Richard

[@bobpaterson1845]

Great video of a lovely old tractor 👌

[@tjohnson9051]

I've never seen a tractor like that, that's what makes playing with old tractors fun. One thing for sure, nobody can steel it unless they know the starting procedure. We have one fire truck that is still carbureted and only the people over 50 which is half the force, can start it.

[@edsel6818]

What a nice nice little tractor, I sure wish I had this, i could put a snow plow on this baby and use it to clear away my 3' of snow I got on my long drive way & yard, great tractor, 👌🤠😁👍

Nice machines i think, and really a odd interesting design. Sure could use one at the Crusty Crab 😉

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

In my youth in 1965 I learned how to operate an old similar engine for a fishing boat, with a top, which had to be heated to red before being started with compressed air! And sometimes going the wrong way - and how to change direction then.

[@Dr.K.Wette_BE]

Cool a new brand I didn't know of ! I love the sound of these old engines. 🥰

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Very odd and interesting! /Richard

[@TheByard]

Wow it took me back to my childhood of the 1950s, dad would take me to work on Sat Sundays, he dug tunnels and in the compressor shed was a line on Consolidated Pneumatic compressors from the USA all shining with the oily rag polish constantly given them by the attendant. Lube oil sight glasses, grease cap being filled, belts being listened to, the note changed when they needed adjusting of course you needed to be an expert to know the note. My uncle retiring his Shire horses from ploughing to a life of cart pulling and resting in the orchard, when the Brand new Ferguson tractor arrived in it's grey livery. My first job on leaving school driving a Fordson Major, crank start, petrol start and paraffin for running (TVO) tractor vaporising oil. Cast iron grill, metal seat but fitted with a deluxe cushion of a hessian sack folded just right. Those were the days when a tractor driver drove a straight line by eye, not a GPS hands free gizmo. Thanks for taking me back, stay safe.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Love to hear that 😊👍

[@colvinator1611]

A super piece of agricultural history. Why not invite grumpy Thunberg over to enjoy the experience?

This one is a first for me. That governor/injection pump is quite the assembly! For a 2 stroke hot bulb engine, the smoke is very minimal. Very nice rig in great condition!😁👍

[@douro20]

Yeah it's a bit complicated; it's a rotary pump with separate metering for each cylinder and you can even control the action of the sprayers. The engine produces its peak power at 900rpm which is quite fast for a hot-bulb oil engine.

[@jenkodiesel5768]

Hi Richard , this video is absolutely gold mate. I’ve seen only a couple of Munktells here in Australia and they are not in original paint. Love the two headed blowlamp . Cheers Jenko

Hello Jenko! Thank you. So there is some old BM's over there to, thats fun. Here old BMs are very common, but not these old hot bulb ones. Yes that torch is original to just this modell. Very sensitive, as you can see. I think it running a bit rich on kerosene. Regards.
