Old vintage tractor..will it run after many years? - Vice Grip Garage EP43

This old Minneapolis Moline M602 tractor has been sitting for a long time. It only makes sense that I go unprepared to work on reviving it after many years. Do you think it will start? This old tractor has lots of character, and sure gives a guy a big fight! It clearly needed an ignition rebuild, but of course, I didn't have all the parts. The updraft carburetor also needs a rebuild. Who do you think will win?

a guy wasnt prepared for that little speech there at the end

[@matsuyamarockers]

“People are afraid to fail... You’ll never know unless you get out there and try”

[@atypical_moto]

I was really looking forward to seeing you make the 3 hour drive home on this bad boy after a good burnout 😋

I'm A city fella but every summer as a kid id go live out on my aunt's farm in the country...they had a 1948 John Deere tractor(I forget what model...it was big! 😂) still in service and it was the late 80s...first thing I ever learned to drive lol they gave me an old broken briggs and stratton riding mower and a tool set to tinker with....suprised my uncle's when i figured out how to get her running again...took the blades off and all that stuff and used it to get around the farm to do my various chores....she had 18 horses ...fun times!!!!

“We are gonna do the right thing and Pretend we looked at em”. Classic.

Your phrases are second to none.... “beat on more than a cabin screen door” and “I’d rather low crawl though barbed wire in a hail storm”...... 😂

This is a fantastic reminder of why I'm addicted to VGG. Even though all of the new content keeps me hooked, I so enjoy the classic episodes like this one. God Bless!

Nothing I have has spark or brakes. But they've got plenty of oil leaks!

[@brandonpetroski6663]

The descriptive whistling gets me every time.

[@thomas7529]

Ah a trip down memory lane. This was the very first video of yours that I watched many moons ago, back when I first started getting into car KZbinrs.

[@kylemartin7192]

Great words of wisdom at the end. If more people were like you. We wouldn't see so many old cars. Sitting in barns, fields, front yards, etc. Just wasting away to nothing.

[@birdsrule8608]

You've single handedly showed more that brakes are just a luxury and not a requirement lol

[@clifffiftytwo]

"not sure where I am. I keep hearin' dirt bikes and someone sightin' in a rifle." Yeah, that's America. Or heaven with a tractor to fix.

I bought a Minneapolis Moline that a broken seat so I mounted the front part of an old horse saddle I had laying around to sit on until I got a different seat. I was out bouncing around on it in the field when my wife walked out and wanted to try it. So she got on it and went bouncing along and after a few minutes, she had this silly smile on her face. She rode it till the dang thing ran out of gas and then dragged me into the house and it wasn't even Saturday night. The next day I painted the name For Play above the Minneapolis moline on the hood.

“Your never guna know unless you just try, so get off your butt, get out there and start spinning wrenches” spoken like a good man and a great dad

[@gilbertnowak5770]

My Dad used to say "If you don't fail, your not doing anything"

[@billharris3049]

I watch to enjoy the comedy! You are a natural.

[@stevenlpkr]

My brother had a MM M670. spent quite a lot of time working with and on that beast. He's passed now, and the farm is gone, but seeing these old tractors brings back memories.

Guy is hilarious... plays like a dope but he's overflowed with mechanical knowledge
