Volvo T31 First Start and Drive for a few decades

I got this old Volvo tractor in my back yard, I parked it here like 23 years ago and never tried to start it. Got it towed home at that time.
I never tried to start this tractor because I had small children and did not want to accidentally hurt them. Now they are grown ups and the time for the tractor has come. So in this clip I get it started and move it around a bit to a better spot for fixing a few issues it has.
It is a Volvo T31 of unknown vintage, these tractors were made between 1949 and 1957 I think. Volvo made about 6500 of these, it was considered a medium sized tractor at that time. The engine has 34 Hp and should burn Kerosene.
I did rebuild the magneto on it this winter.

hi there why do you say its been sat for many years when its got nearly new plug leads

[@isawimake]

Well, I did give the ignition a service but never filmed that. I was something I worked on during the winter. The old plug leads did not conduct anymore but the sparkplugs are the old ones from when it was parked.

I've never seen gas so clear, what are you running on liquor??

[@isawimake]

well, I suppose we have to blame the environmental movement for having that color, lots of ethanol in the stuff nowadays here in Sweden. :( But I did check if the engine would survive it, turns out it was actually built for alcohol derivates in the fuel so that should not be an issue.

Нужно поменять масло в двигателе, в редукторах и в коробке передач.

[@isawimake]

😎 Yes, that is a must before I do anything serious with it.
