Nice to see it running!

[@LordMuck]

It wasn't straight forward Wes but it was great to hear it start ! Apparently Jake Paul rebuilt one using old Briggs and Stratton parts...

[@tobytractor711]

Just love your blunt message to the elf and safety police, absolutely priceless 😂😂😂

[@Woodn509]

just watched again , f'kin hilarious about the smoke, fumes and ether!

[@danieldarch2982]

Love the vid I'm 13 years old and I think more people my age need to appreciate these lovely old machines and get their hands dirty. you should have got the head of the matador skimmed ported and flowed 🤣

[@elborrachogrande]

Somebody give this kid a prize. Getting your hands dirty, problem solving and spending time with your buddies fixing stuff will be some of the best times in your life.

[@James-mn1ng]

Go Daniel Go, brilliant keep up the good work.

[@thegregdavieschannel]

You will go far with this kind of attitude. I was hand porting mini cylinder heads at your age. I wish I'd kept at it, but became to busy working on injection mould tooling and then started my own business. I'm hoping to get back to it in the next few years.

[@danieldarch2982]

I know it won't work on a diesel (it was just a joke)

[@davesanford4798]

Mucker. That was the best "safe space" rant I've hurd in a long time. Absolutely spot on 👍👍👍👍

[@DaveyJonesLockerwithJazzy]

At last, a channel for grown ups! Long Live King Muck 🤴

[@LRCVWDude]

Rant against wimps? Check Talking shit? Check Glorious old Matador? Check Smoke to piss off greta and the tree huggers? Double check 10/10, would definitely watch again 😂

[@baldfatgit1]

I subbed as soon as you finished your intro that was after choking on my coffee pissing myself and wiping the tears from my eyes.. Could not have said it any better myself. Then replaying the intro with the bit "sucking your thumb and shove the other up your arse watching Disney channel in your safe space" was a LEGEND comment. Respect and Nuff said Steve Bristol

[@guyfuller1369]

😂Excellent rant right off the top! No re-gret(a)s😉

[@austenmoore9782]

Brilliant opening monologue! 👏

[@daveenns1119]

..Great rant.. I loved it..

[@oliverraynes340]

I love the first 1 minute 45 seconds 😂😂😂 fair play lord muck 👍

[@GwynDefender]

Just found your channel. It's addictive. Nice one keep the video's coming!

[@joepeters5510]

Thank you for your rant at the beginning of the video.. could not of said it any better..

[@ROCKINGMAN]

Always loved AEC vehicles. Always wanted to see an AEC enginge, such as the AV 470 or AV 590 outside the vehicle turn over, fire up and rev up just for the sheer hell of it. They were great in buses and trucks. Nice little video.

[@grantchandler8294]

I just love how you deal with negative comments! Cracks me up well done 👍 and I'm loving how your doing up these old trucks

[@NUTTER8291]

OMG that is the BEST response I've EVER seen on KZbin against people with there own opinions !! FANTASTIC !!!!

[@donwilson6617]

I love your attitude...very refreshing.

[@marklloyd2966]

love your rant about the goodie goodies well done never get anything done with health and safety only thing better than diesel fumes is 2 stroke love the video

[@davidjeffery2823]

The Human exhaust is more likely kill somebody before the engine exhaust

[@mdouglaswray]

As Mustie is prone to quip: "...a little more choke and that would have started..."

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Great opening comments sir!!! I give you a big salute for those LOL! Excellent video, bet it was fun driving that rig through the country, I get the feeling you really enjoyed making this vid, Thanks!!!

[@Mike-kz4yv]

You guts have so much talent great to see you both bring great british engineering and history back to life with humour and passion.

[@Spoon-vy9jz]

I just love your opening comments on the health n safety guys, totally agree with you.

[@Ol2Stroker]

The rant about the crybaby's earned you a sub! Fuck em!!

[@LordMuck]

Exactly 😂👌🏼🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@mikejh321]

Awesome vid lm love the little rant at the start 😂😂😂

[@terrygreen4338]

Excellent video, glad you’re keeping Greta happy, keep up the good work cheers terry 👍🚜

[@bobhardy9634]

Fantastic project someone has made a nice stand for the engine

[@team7112]

Nothing wrong with a bit of smoke. We drove a truck 400km getting about 10 km per liter of oil the army would have wished for the smoke screen we made. Loved the comment about snow flakes.

[@philipmcdonagh1094]

Love the smell of old diesel engine exhaust smoke.

[@alistairpayne8196]

Love the cheach out of the big matador engine, great to see life being given back to those loyal old units

[@woopimagpie]

I was just about to suggest that you not bother to address your critics, but then I watched how you did it. Bloody love it. Top class. Well done. This is my first time watching your channel and I instantly became a fan. Far too many channels are pandering to their own comments section, it needs to stop really. Giving those armchair "experts" time is just contributing to the problem. They are best ignored. Or, as you did, told to F___ OFF in no uncertain terms. Brilliant.

[@LordMuck]

Cheers ! 👍

[@robleary3353]

Love the enthusiasm and the skills bringing an old engine back to life. Also like the way the guys talk to you and not at you!. Need a fifty something apprentice?. 🙂

[@LordMuck]

I think a lot of it is because we WANT to do it rather than HAVE to do it. We might do a couple of 'open days' for folk to join in.

[@mattharte7334]

A neighbour had a Matador, he called it a timber truck, I remember it had the mother of all winches on it. Glad you got it running.

[@colvinator1611]

I just saw the picture of grumpy Thunberg ! Brilliant.

[@progbloke6655]

When I worked on the building sites, we used to get picked up in a Sherpa - I HATE those bloody things. It's like putting wheels on a washing machine !

[@jimclements3190]

Bloody hell,thought I had a Dads Army video on by mistake right at the start😯👍

[@thomasputnam4491]

Love your comment to the sissys worried about you dieing from fumes that was a very cool comment I loved it keep up the good work.

[@robbone1189]

I’ll say it for you...........’Run the titles’!!!! Great as usual 👌🏻

[@johnmccoubrey6042]

Couldn't have put it better myself.. Great intro and as always great informative video.. 👍

[@montedaestrada3563]

Loved vid especially the intro. Your channel, your rules.

[@richardbelton919]

This is the first of your videos that I've seen, and I subscribed as soon as you had finished your introduction - can't wait to see more 😀

[@northernmicroplant1095]

Sir you are a very amusing chap cannot get over the comments you made in your last video regarding emissions, free trade tea & monkeys made me laugh please keep doing the videos I have learnt a lot from them & regarding your dog rescue we need more people like you, as the saying goes "the more I see of man the more I love my dog" good luck to you

[@rogergarey5002]

That Formula 1 bore gauge would make some good merch for your store !!!

[@Dazg-666]

Absolutely brilliant video love the comment about the political correct comments you got made my day that.keep up the good work.

[@rangeroverl322]

Great to see it running and also good to see you test driving the matador. Fills the lane up doesn’t she 👍. Brill video thank you

[@tamar5261]

Nice video and beautiful engine.

[@steven907]

Best bit your rant at the beginning Mucker I was in stiches👍

[@BIBSTERSrepairshop]

Rant basically sums up what is wrong our world right now great video

[@captainclarke]

What a skilled ol' boy, great there's folk like you lads keeping these machines alive by making new bits. Matt's shed looks like a cracking place too!

[@DOCTORDROTT]

Nice to see these old engines back up and running . Weather getting better ,so time the restart the projects , starting with the JCB 2D . keep up the good work .

[@MrBlueWRX]

I've got two LDV Convoy,400,Sherpas i used to move myself to Sweden with,both with the Peugeot engines in,one turbo,one non turbo,good old busses,always start and chug along forever.

[@stevemcnair-wilson6106]

Great stuff, you guys are doing a wonderful job!

[@super6954]

Thanks for the video, at least you finally got that engine figured out and it runs nice, I got a 1060 Nuffeild engine here for a customer, It ran nice for some reason but it's a mess inside ! I really hate that when guys have been in some thing screwing settings up. Belarus's are a good one when it don't work, so they mess with stuff and make it worse if there is a such a thing on them lol. Then you get to fix 2 problems "the original one that stopped it and the new one they created thats now hidden the first issue". The best guys are the ones that then try to tell you how to fix it. There has been more than one told, well you didn't "f" it up just to call me out to see if I knew how to fix it did you. They don't generally stand round long watching or voicing opinions after that comment !. No questions here, I'm sure you'll get plenty of interesting ones ! Take care.

[@stuartpatterson2754]

Another really good video, looking forward to the next video,

[@carlscowen1368]

Great vid mate nice to see the old engine up and running again. Like the rant at begining of vid you say it so well ha ha

[@dcw1540]

[@goodfortune6399]

I had to rewatch the beginning 3 times it was epic😁

[@robertinscoe2379]

Damm it man, now I have to clean my phone after spitting Coca-Cola all over it from the 'Of course he's. F ing a farmer' clip. Nice little drive in that truck.👌👌

[@andyellis307]

Mucker that was fantastic to see you driving the matador it is over 30 years since i drove one with a winch and jib on

[@tigerspook1]

Real nice to see that engine burst into life,......

[@coilnbird7944]

Well done lads

[@MrAdlingtonm]

Brill really enjoyed the video, good laugh and very interesting at the same time.

[@nainoswad2725]

Smashing, found a new home! My Dad drove these and Queen Mary's. Regards..

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Like your comment about the people that were complaining about the fumes. Seems like everyone has an opinion. Like the videos, funny commentary, Thanks for the laughs.

[@adigibson3605]

Interesting video, loved the rant at the start 👍😂

[@keithhill3027]

Love the rant at the start,you tell em mate,good one.👍

[@colvinator1611]

Very well said. The fumes surely add to and enhance the historic atmosphere. Great video, shame about the grumpy Thunbergers.

[@donalconneely3241]

Love your direct honesty, great to see her running 👍

[@paulknights3697]

Hi it was great seeing you driving the Matador. It gave me goosebumps when you got that engine running. I was towed back from Wellingborough to Goudhurst ib Kent. That took nearly 8 hours todo.

[@christopherstuchbury2606]

Bang on Gents! Just found your channel this evening. Mainly because I want a mat timber tractor, much to the wife’s dismay. Although she also ended up watching, laughed and said “I like him”. You may have just fought me corner for me!!!

[@matthewt52]

great video keep up the good work mucker

[@johnbellamy6449]

love your channel . worked on h g v s all my life ,now 74 .keep up the good wotk .

[@adrianwillan6361]

Question: What has been your career path from where you started up to where you are now? You seem a very talented man 👍👌

[@trams66]

I loved the ranting from the start😂 that cheered me up after a shit day!! What a fucking treat!!! MINT 👌👌👌

[@melvinschmecklebak3766]

Worked on Brill Coaches which had an AEC horizontally mounted engine under the bus. What a job creator they were. The stunk bad and had no power. Liking your vids from Alberta Canada

[@bobg3034]

Love it! Go to your safe space! LOL!

[@roberto33812]

Great video again 👍👍

[@colinmorley2966]

As usual I'm behind love what you're doing to save these lovely old vehicles as a young fella was given for Christmas said matador six wheeler and field gun as a result always had a soft spot for them keep up the hard work it is worth it

[@philipbutler9404]

Great video Lord Muck nice to see the engine running.

[@robertkeable1627]

It's Lord Muck!......does the sun rise????? Be well and stay safe.

[@gregoryscott9767]

You alway seem to impress me Muck with your video content budd. Keep up the fantastic work 💪👷👏👍👌🙌

[@normannicol612]

Loved the eulogy to the twats, you don't need cosby juice with those farts. Driving the matador reminded me of my early days as a retained fireman driving Dennis f26 with rolls Royce 8cylinder petrol the whine in the cab couldn't hear a thing but engine.

[@andrewoodings1174]

Keep up the good work, saving pure classic machines,

[@steamfan7147]

8:59 love that gauge panel, 3 gauges are all anybody really needs. Making obsolete parts for people's restorations is the fun part of my job. Last one was putting a Grey Marine cylinder head back together that was broke like a China plate.

[@philgardener7018]

Another great video thanks. I love watching all the old lorries working at Dorset Steam Fair so its good to see what is involved working on one.

[@davidhenshaw3509]

Love the smell of diesel fumes in the morning, another great video, Glad to see another fine piece of British engineering lives again, looks like Matt and his crew do a great job of restoring them.

[@LordMuck]

There's a lot of time and effort involved for sure

[@butchknapman3939]

Another great and very interesting video. The drive out in the Matador excellent, the pep talk at the beginning still falling on deaf ears. Should have a caption at the end of video " No humans were hurt or injured in the making of the video"

[@jeremyhowes2399]

Thoroughly enjoyed that, and looking forward to the rest of the Matador series. Thank you.

[@garrystrawson6611]

Love your rant at the start 😂 yet another great vid mate 👍

[@farmerbill6855]

"It's a Sherpa" you crack me up needling him about that truck. Best regards from Indiana, USA.

[@jasonbassett4967]

Love your videos, like a breath of fresh air after having to deal with h & s Muppets most days. Might borrow your rent for the next h & s team meeting! 🤣

[@johnmcgregor3671]

Finally someone who is a grafter that isn't afraid to tell it like it needs to be said

[@CH-pt8fz]

Topman, good video, we used to look after two old matadors used on forestry work 30 years ago a great bit of kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@simaesthesia]

Priceless Withnail clip! Great vid as always mate. :)

[@changinglanes8195]

Brilliant early rant , well said 👏
