[@Mayo107]

I forgot to say your videos are excellent 👍

[@paulthompson8467]

Nice wee tractor Dan it's a pity she hasn't the original engine but she runs very well looking forward to your next installment ps hope you have a happy Christmas 👍

[@HootMaRoot]

There are diesel treatments you can get to stop/kill off the bug in tanks, because once its started you won't get rid of it unless you clean the tank fuel lines and filters

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

Remember our 550 coming home new along with a new Sambron AM252 forklift for mucking out low cattle Courts - GLS 706V & GLS 705V 👍

Tidy little tractor that, can't beat a bit of red-top 500 action. Thanks for sharing.

[@livingoffgridinscotland]

I prefer single door silver top 500 series

[@livingoffgridinscotland]

Rare silver top in the uk; kzbin.infoxUTVJ14HQBg?feature=share

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

You had better look out for my silver top 4WD 590 turbo then 🙂

[@livingoffgridinscotland]

@@ClarenceFudWeasel seen it Want an opico turbo on mine, was under bidder on one Howard & sons had on eBay last week but it made £790….

[@matthewbray5536]

Hi Dan thanks for that . Good job done . I expect the look of that non Perkins engine is troubling you 😂 …….would you consider putting a genuine ad 152 back in her ? Happy Christmas to you and your family.

[@CowfarmerDan]

I'm on the hunt for one

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video dan, lovely little tractor. Merry Christmas to you and the family.

[@graemebowyer4901]

Good video, excellent, informative commentary. Looking forward to your metalworking skills on the exhaust video.

[@casto-]

Nice little professional bodge/none bodge job Dan😁👍. The diesel bug is a pain, I’ve just found it’s in my trac tank now🤦‍♂️ Plus the estates tractors! As far as I known it lives in the diesel/water bit. Least you’ve some diesel for cleaning parts now 🤪. Hope you and the family have a good Xmas

[@DonegalTDI]

Great video Dan, Thanks for doing all the video this year and hope you and your family have nice Christmas / happy new year

[@patrickaherne3598]

Merry Christmas!

[@masseymadgalway4613]

Top marks for the video. 👍 great content.

[@GeigerFarm]

I had the gunk in the 471. I changed the filter and just run it often. Never saw it again. I keep fuel barrel in shade and under a roof. What is the motor??? I liked the 152 in the 231s🙂. Merry Christmas Dan👍🏻

[@CowfarmerDan]

It's a licenced Perkins copy, made by Simpson in India and widely used in Tafe tractors. It should have a Perkins AD3.152s

[@georgedoorley5628]

those desposable plastic filters are good do not be one bit afraid to use them ..............

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent job!

[@RichardJW1]

that fuel pump looks like the type you can "juice up" ......next episode - dyno-ing up my 550

[@CowfarmerDan]

I wouldn't know how to do that 😇

[@danielpiersma7987]

Happy christmas Dan

[@adrianohalloran1395]

Great vid can you do a bit more on the multipower benefits speed ECT

[@CowfarmerDan]

The Fud Weasel is doing a great series on Multi Power, go and take a look at that, it's packed with all the information you need kzbin.info/www/bejne/amPTq6iqr5qhl68

[@Mayo107]

Hi Dan, Bit of a random question but I recently was given a 550 free from my uncle. The power steering isn't working in it. I'm not sure where the fluid is located. Where would I find it? Sorry for the stupid question..

[@CowfarmerDan]

The steering oil is held in a reservoir that's Integrated into the pump. It's just below the alternator. It takes automatic transmission fluid.

[@Mayo107]

@@CowfarmerDan thanks so much. I really appreciate it

[@williambowman155]

Brilliant video

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

The fuel tank on the 550’s may not be large but these tractors sip fuel slower than it evaporates 😂😂😂😂😂

[@bobpaterson1845]

Love the 500 series tractor 💪 but would have to say that engine although sounds good would annoy me as not a Perkins but that's just my opinion 🤔 good video 👍

[@CowfarmerDan]

I'm on the lookout for a correct engine.

[@JS-fk9oj]

A few years ago my Land Rover was plagued with diesel bug and when I drained the tank it came out looking just like Birds custard. Horrendous stuff,

[@grantahlschlager9597]

Why don't you replace the injector pump with the correct one from a perkins would make it look a lot better

[@CowfarmerDan]

I have considered that, but there's no opening onto the camshaft to fit a lift pump onto.

[@kenjohnston1996]

Can I ask as I must of missed it what engine is in the 550

[@CowfarmerDan]

One from a Tafe tractor

[@livingoffgridinscotland]

Get an original engine for the poor old girl!

[@CowfarmerDan]

I'm looking!
