Will it start and move after years of sitting? SAME Centauro 60 tractor

In this episode we attempt to start up the SAME tractor after sitting for years #sametractor #willitstart #tractor

[@MisterScotti]

Thank you for saving this one. I grew up with a SAME Centurion 75 Export, also air cooled. Good times, great memories.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks for watching mate. They are great old tractors

[@tcmits3699]

Most great tractors have caring, knowledgeable owners. Dearler in Pennsylvania,USA sold Zetor and Belarus,back in 1993, had 3 cyl Zetor from India and a Belarus 250, bought the 250, for 3 grand less, brand new. Still have it, never, and I mean "NEVER" failed to start in 30 yrs, love that Same V-4 air cooled diesel. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@vumba1331]

We had a Same Delfino 35 hp 4x4 tractor on our vineyard, 2 cylinder 2.0L, ran on the smell of an oily rag and was incredibly reliable. Still going strong 16 years later, we bought it second hand, when we sold the vineyard in 2016! Did an awful lot of good work for us and my wife used to love driving it.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. I haven’t heard a bad word about SAME tractors. I’m sure it did the job just fine for you both, and yes they are good to drive also. Everything is in the right place on them

[@JB-NZ]

Hi mate. Once I eventually own it I will definitely be doing a tear down of the engine and doing a rebuild video on it

Thanks for taking us along again Steve . I dont get tired of this kind on content. That Same tractor didnt seem to happy when you first started it , but seemed to come right after a little running . Good to meet Roger . He has about the same body build as my dog Otis. Doesn't miss many meals . Dont forget to shut that fuel off mate ! Cheers

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks Scott. I think at least 2 cylinders are right down on call compression. I’ve swapped injectors between cylinders and it stays the same. It will work all day and has done like it but the fumes get to you. Glad you are enjoying the content. Roger sneaks up to where my parents live and my mum cooks him breakfast as well as dinner. When he stays with us he doesn’t get it because of his size😂 but he’s a great dog. He’s always about when we are playing with these machines. I actually did forget to turn it off. I called my dad because we went to Singapore the next morning and got him to turn it off. Thanks again

[@1425race]

That Eytie engine sounds great, thought it was going to be a smoker but it cleared up quite well. It would be a shame to just let it rot. If, as you say, you could get that blade to angle and it looks as though it's strong enough to push some dirt you could use it to flatten out a site for a new shed or two.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. I think a set of injectors or at least get get them serviced she might be better. Still breathing very heavily. I’d use it all the time if you could angle it. I’ve got a cylinder here to use on it. All I need is a valve and I can make it happen.

Hi mate no problem thanks for watching. I may do another video on it. A tree fell down behind my house so I might video the Sammy pulling it away maybe

[@petergracemeguide1280]

I love my SAME 105 Tiger. I was babying it to start with and it started to glaze the bores like bad valve stems.

Don't let hydraulic oil leak out of implement s it will screw the transmission., A common gearbox problem.

Hi mate thanks. I’d say this one was never worked hard knowing where it first came from. It’s possible that that’s what contributed to the problem now with the engine. Thanks for advice on it👍👍

I have run some of the larger Same tractors in Sweden (145hp Titan with a straight 6 turbo) and I also had to work on them and they were kind of finicky to tune and were a pain in the ass to get parts, BUT they were powerful and were decently reliable even under harsh conditions.

You have some nice old tractors there. I don't know much about the two that you drove, but the old Massey tractors you have were sold half way around the world and parts are still available. Keep those old things running and they might out live all of us. Keep up the good work.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Brian thanks for watching mate. I don’t know a lot about those ones either mate. I used to have the 6ft slasher on that zetor, as it was in this video, but since I bought the Massey 165 off the family I put it on that and haven’t regretted it. Such a beautiful tractor to use with the power steering and everything is so easy compared to the zetor. I have 2 MF 35’s also with the 3 cylinder Perkins in them, both great tractors. I also have 2 MF 30’s which are made in France(I think). Those France ones are very hard to find parts for mate. Thanks again mate and there’s plenty more to come

[@brianbergen887]

@@stevesplacedownunder Here in the US there are a lot of old Massey Harris and Massey Ferguson tractors around. The 135's are still popular with a bunch of people. They are popular with collectors too, so if you have trouble getting parts, see if you can make contact with some people here. I'm sure there are some people here who know of places to obtain parts or ways to fix old parts. Good luck.

Steve, you know what equipment you need regularly, so get those up to right first, then as time allows, bring all the rest up to right. One of the most successful independant farmers I knew in the US operated his grandfather's farm this way, every machine on it from the beginning was overhauled, repainted, and in garages, said it took 5 years to get it like that, equipment his dad & grandfather had just left sitting for decades took longest, but now if needed he can do small jobs around the farms without pulling out the expensive new prone to electronic failure mega-tractors which the old stuff now 'backs up' if the dealer can't get a service truck out quickly enough to repair the new electronics. If it couldn't be repaired, he bought another like it, and the original became his parts stock. only 2 ancient tractors and a couple of accessories were in that category.

Hi John thanks for watching. The ones I use are ok at the moment. They need a bit of work but nothing serious enough to stop it. I’ve heard a few of these stories now mate where the blokes are still farming with the old equipment or just prefer older equipment. It’s great that people are still using and restoring this stuff. I have that much stuff here at my place that I don’t know where to start

[@johndenton5555]

@@stevesplacedownunder Basically the same thing, he was in a bit better shape to start as most of their old stuff was still garaged in buildings too small for the newer replacements, and their farm had expanded largely after he took it over from his dad, so he wasn't having to reclaim an entire farm at the same time as you've been, that in itself is a remarkable feat worthy of a book, a video series, even a mini-documentary with photos if no video for KZbin.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

It’s great mate that he’s done this. I wish I had of started documenting all this stuff when I first arrived here, it would of been a great series.

It’s awful stuff mate. Hard to get rid of even with poison.

Great vid Steve ! Just Subscribed. The Duetz is an awesome bullet proof power plant !

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks for watching and the sub mate very much appreciated. Hopefully we will do more with this one soon enough

[@dansteel8805]

So SAME tractors of that era didn’t have a duetz. They used the in-house same engine. My same leopard goes hard. 40 years old and I still use it for contracting. All day every day

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Great stuff mate. I think this one is a Same engine. Looks Deutz but got a few SAME parts on it

[@themarinerkommer4371]

looks like she was coming better as she runs longer, id say she has a bit of glazing possibly from not being worked so hard, but yeah id say she would need a set of rings and possibly a hone if its worn then id say a rebore with some new pistons and have the injectors cleaned should bring her back up good.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate thanks for watching. Yes it wouldn’t take much. I definitely needs the injectors serviced and a set of rings. Once I own it I will be doing exactly this I hope

Hi mate thanks. Glad to have you around. Go back through the channel, there are some interesting videos

@@stevesplacedownunder I will do. From what I've seen just by skimming through, there looks to be some good content!

There is mate. It’s a bit shaky at the start but I’ve upgraded my video equipment in as I went so it gets better as I learn to use it. Will get better mate as I grow it. I have plenty of toys here to create content with

@Steve’s Place Down Under I look forward to it! I love seeing vids of Aussie, my family are up in Queensland, I'm stuck in NZ.

Thanks man.? Your tractors never see 40 F below zero like Manitoulin Island Canada,😂😂😂😊

No mate they don’t. We get below but not often. Thanks for watching

Yes I subscribed to your channel already to Steve. I liked it.& Commented on them to for ya. Good job. Keep it up.& Keep those videos coming to man?

Thanks for subscribing John. Yeah mate stay around there’s plenty more coming

[@brucecliffe6213]

Just got onto your channel a couple of days ago Steve, I like what I see. No bullshit ....or all bullshit maybe, hahaha. Good stiff mate, just subscribed. I have a Zetor 6945 about the same year model as yours. They are a well equipped tractor with hi and low range, low low is a crawler gear and can shred your tyres before it will stall, 2 speed PTO. Mine has an under axle blade also. When I bought it second hand from a dealer he had replaced the block and rebuilt it after the motor had been ripped off the bell housing, I kid you not. He then strengthened the blade mounts so it wouldn't happen again. Anyway he had done such a good job that i was impressed so I bought it. Czhechoslovakia also make the BRNO riffle which is a very decent riffle so I reasoned that if their tractors were as good as their rifles, then it would do me fine. After 37 years I see no reason to change my opinion.. In our terminology mate, they are good shit. It was built in the early 70s I think. By the way they still make Zetor tractors today. All the best.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Bruce thanks for reaching out and glade you like it. I don’t really change on the camera, if people don’t like it they don’t have to watch, so the bullshit I carry on with doesn’t change when filming 🤣🤣. I think the Zetor tractors are great. I didn’t mean to get so many really but one was given to me, one was $500 and one isn’t yet mine,(the 6911). They are a powerful machine with everything that a tractor should have and easy to use. If it was a Massey Fergusen for instance, I wouldn’t of got it for as little as $500. They are a strong reliable machine and cheap. For a bloke starting out on a small farm or property, they are a great way to afford a great usable tractor.. I can actually see it breaking like you said because they are a long wheelbase compared to other tractors of their size and no chassis. But the power they put to the ground is unreal I think mate. I really like them. I couldn’t see it go to scrap. Good to talk mate, thanks for subscribing and stay tuned for plenty more adventures

[@brucecliffe6213]

@@stevesplacedownunder The reason she snapped the motor off the bell housing was that they were back blading and spun the wheel on full lock and as she swung around backwards the corner of the under axle blade caught a stump and snapped her in two. It broke the flange off the motor on the left side and took out a section of the bell housing where the starter fits. The repairs were well done so I had no reservations about buying it. The original blade frame was bolted to the motor only, that is why it happened. Repairs saw a new frame carried to the final drive housing. Game set and match. No more breakages. Thanks for getting back mate. Your a no bullshit guy, that comes through very clearly mate. Keep up the good work. Cheers. Bruce. PS I live near Kempsey on the north coast NSW on a couple of hundred acres..

[@brucecliffe6213]

Steve, not sure if you know it or not but the Zetors have a quick start button between the on board compressor and the injector pump. It is a small button and easily missed. Pull the fuel lever (accelerator) to the on position, hit the button and they start very quickly. Saves the battery big time mate. Cheers.

Great video. Your channel would benefit from a camera that has image stabilization.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you mate. That video was back when I first got going. I’ve since got a gimbal and some more modern equipment. Watch some later episodes to see the improvements
