[@calumanderson5617]

A very good cause for what you are doing for Collie dog rescue Kurt, and well and truly worth it too. sorry about the passing of Dewie at the end.🐕

[@LordMuck]

He was a wonderful pup and it was very sad to lose him.

That's a very kind thing to do. Good man. Thanks for taking us along. Be well.

[@oilyragsgarage7200]

Very entertaining 😆 nothing wrong with that welding either👍. Recently I seen a stop linkage held together with cable ties.

[@DOCTORDROTT]

Always liked the majors, had three . Good starters, had a Super Major and two Power majors . Another good video .

[@robertspear9134]

A temporary repair, unless it works. Good one Muck, looking forward to the excavator shoppers guide.

[@kevinmothers904]

At least you can steer yours Lord Muck! My major 1957 back end/1963 super major engine combination stood outside for years and recently I had to fork lift the front end to get it in the shed as the steering box had seized solid. No doubt rainwater has something to do with it. Thanks for the video, I'm going to check how we adapted our linkage to fit the newer engine.

[@tomdigby4463]

Awesome as always Mucker, my dad used to train sheep dogs for competition and work them on the farm - but he would never abandon an old friend even when they got too old or sick to work. Fantastic your doing so much for the collies. I’m Irish but living in Oz, you should take a spin down here some time and do some vids on the gear down here 👍👍

[@LordMuck]

That would be a good video 😉

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video kurt, good to see the old girl up n running, any harvest videos coming, see your insta photo of finished harvest. Get some of the fud weasel crap out and there be plenty room.

[@tomgriffin286]

It’s always a good a day when you release a new video. I like your practical approach just “getting stuff done”. Much like myself, I have a disability and I use a powerchair to get about so have to be resourceful. Good to see Tom, and I see from a later comment he’s well. You’ve created a great community. All the best Mucker.

[@Odowdrj]

Cheers mate, love all your videos, I grew up in doset on a farm, the ford major was my learn to drive tractor for many years, I miss them every day.

[@kenmurray4232]

Good video. Good bit of farm fix. If it works there is nothing wrong with it. How many amps effing all of them cracked me up. Heart as big as yourself for caring for the Collie rescue. My hat is off to you. Thanks for sharing.

"It aint gotta be good, Its just gotta be good enough."

[@harrysemmence5046]

Great video to sit with a beer and have a watch, that major is a really nice original honest tractor, as I have got older I have come to realise in my opinion they are better in their working clothes tells a story and adds to the history. Sadly when I bought my first Fergie many many years ago I painted it, it's now starting to mellow nicely though. A really nice gesture for the collie rescue that Dexta will make a nice tractor for someone

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent video, plenty to look forward to! The Major looks and sounds great!

[@fenlandrob6203]

Evening Mucker, I didn’t see anything wrong with your welding to those bits of rod! Great to see the old major move from it rebuild spot. Fenland Rob

Thanks Kurt cracking vid sir... Take care...

[@tonymorgan3526]

Great video, m'lord, another classic from you

[@Rickwardful]

Your throttle linkage fix should be in the “Quick fix, bodges and creation” thread on The Farming Forum……….. …..except that the steel rod you used was too good. It would have been better if you had used an old electric fencing stake, preferably well bent! Or better still, a bit of baller twine and an elastic band acting as a spring to keep it tight. However, full marks for using de-ionising water instead of degreaser!

[@brianlarkin9160]

Great old tractors I've driven and worked on a few, all Irish built ones have a very nice brass id plate on them 👍

[@andyellis307]

Have had the same welder for about 10-15 years, like you say, brilliant bit of kit 👌 although we have much bigger “better” machines I always seem to be whipping the little thermal arc out 👍great work as always , many thanks

[@Ricey1987]

Nice to see the old girl running and moving I've missed the other videos on the major I've got pictures of my grandad driving his major 947hrt so seeing that plate is nice as it's close to his

Your throttle linkage is a space age repair over the old spam can filter fix that you unearthed a few moons ago. Nice tyre swap although always good to see a guest appearance by Dan.

[@MarkLloyd72]

Hi Mucker only been watching your channel for a short while but enjoying the content, I have a Dexta myself which I was restoring up until about 5 years ago but had to stop due to damaging my back which has left me unable to move about very well anymore but I have a friend who is going to help me finish restoring the tractor, I do get asked on a regular basis if I'm selling it but I could never do that as my uncle left me the tractor, sadly he dropped dead from a heart attack about 19 years ago at the age of 39 but my daughter inherits the tractor after I'm gone so god knows what she will do with it though, anyway good luck with raising money for the Collie dogs a very worthy cause, as for me I've always had English Springer Spaniels but my uncle many years before he passed away had a collie sadly though it ran out of the farm gate and was run over by a car.

[@paulthompson8467]

Great video love the old majors glad to hear everything coming on well you're so funny by the way👍

[@acespark1]

As a child I had a matchbox toy model of a super major with a tipper trailer attached. So for me a tractor is blue with red wheels and no cab. Crap for the farmer in real life, as this is a small island in the north atlantic and usually cold and wet, but that's a tractor in my rose tinted world. 😎 Great vlog as usual. 🤡🐔

Fun bit about linkages like that is just a trip to the hardware store to get a length of rod and some heim joints. Cut the rod to length, thread the ends with a die, add the heim joints and look new linkage not hard at all. Why people think parts on equipment can't be made is beyond me

Great to see the Major starting. Hopefully you manage to raise a good bit of money for the dog charity.

[@seanworkman431]

No end of tractors, good of you to sell the Dexter to raise money for the collie dogs and get the Leyland out of your hair. My Grandfather had a Leyland Marina when I was a kid and it was Shiiite, so I'm a bit wary of Leyland vehicles and a Leyland tractor send a shiver up my spine. I am in Australia and went with my brother to unbog a neighbours ute and there was a grey Massie in a barn and my brother asked what he was doing with it (it wold has pulled his ute out save us bringing our tractor over) and he said it didn't run well and we got the impression it had scared him. So my brother bought it for AU$1500 or 750 quid, good for a little grey diesel that goes and we have a spare donk. Keep up the entertaining work and look forward to next time.
