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

[@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

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

[@CVP-og9pw]

Being the owner of my dad's Centauro 55, it brings me joy to see that tractor rescued, and that V engine has a unique sound. SAME was ahead of their time when they invented the 4 wheel drive that everyone uses today

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate thanks for watching. They are a unique tractor in most ways really. A lot of different features to other makes. This one very worn though

[@andreasr.7146]

@@stevesplacedownunder 2 days ago, i saw a Corsaro 70 on street, next to my car.:-) It was in good, original condition. Must be from end of 70ies or begin 80ies.... The corsaro was in normal use. It did not look renovated, but in very good maintenance. I could also see a sticker from the Same dealer. But certainly, I think, it will not be exposed to the weather. I know much people in my area which driving with Same from end of 70ies till begin of 81ies, like Minitaurus or Corsaro... which drive daily with their tractor around... But weather in germany isnt so rough... 😃

@andreasr.7146 yeah okay mate that’s interesting, On the street. They were and still are a popular machine here in Australia.

[@andreasr.7146]

@@stevesplacedownunder Yes, it's not that normal to see a Corsaro on the road. That's it, why I was so happy. But my uncle, for example, often drives around in his Same Minitaurus (early 80ies). But he always had it serviced and paid a lot for it. Another part-time farmer always comes to the pub, where I go with his Same, late 70s. It's a bit tough, with the gears and the brakes... but it runs and is still used. We are in south germany, not so far from Italy. So in 80ies and 90ies, Same was a known Tractor.

[@IchliebeHunde58]

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.

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.

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.

Surprised you didn't park it up the other direction so that the battery and starter are easier to get to next time.

Easy now the bush has gone

New sub here from Matty's Workshop. Looking forward to watchijg more

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate thank you. I can’t thank him enough for the shoutout. There’s plenty more after the one you’ve watched here. And plenty more to come so thanks again

[@matthewkesler1175]

The biggest bane of old tractors is their tires, if the tractor isnt out and out junk.They are so expensive now.Then its parts for obsolete machines like those we love.Its getting so the parts aren't carried by any outfit.Its really a shame.My old John Deere B still is going at 75.I am getting it overhauled this winter.Love running it so I figure its money well spent.So keep the tires aired up and they last.A rear for my B set me back $601 US .Worth every penny but you have to have it.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate yes you are right but so far everything I’ve done up or gotten going has ok/good tyres. If I have a wreck I just keep the tyres on it, the they are part of it and not a problem. I paid 600 for a tyre on a farmall h I bought that needed one back one. This has been the the only tyre issue

[@pjr859]

And a stubbie to ease the pressure of having to move all that lantana!! Hate the stuff. Have fun mate. Bloody hell - after watching you move that "lovely" flower and at double speed I could do with a beer also. I'm stuffed just watching.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. A stubbie needs to be had while doing silly things like this. It’s dreadful stuff and it’s everywhere here. Thanks for watching

Good to see the Centrauo Running. They were very popular on the South Coast and Southern Highlands. She'd be a 1970 - 1972. Parts for the old Same's are getting hard to get but I'd be trying Aussie Ag Spares in Sepparton (Darrell) Burnett's in QLD and D & D in Griffith and John Wright in Kangaroo Valley ( He's a wealth of knowledge. All really good to deal with, we have a couple of Older and Newer Same's we run along with a couple of David Brown's.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate yeah ok I didn’t know they were popular down there. Parts were hard to get years ago so I’d imagine it’s harder now. I remember it broke a part in the lift behind the seat. We ended up finding one in Dungog. Had to buy the whole lift component and pull the part from it. It was a fairly technical process to fit and adjust. Another bloke also recommended Burnett’s. Once I buy the tractor off the owner I will pull her down and see what she needs. Good to see you run David brown tractors. I like them. I have one old 30c petrol here and a 1200 I think it is but it’s locked up. I haven’t looked into what’s wrong with that one. I got it in that condition

[@mtozzy11]

@@stevesplacedownunder they were hugely popular in the mountain areas and with the grape growers. We had one of the main importers here in Robertson and for 30 years just about every second tractor was a Same. Yeah parts can be hard to get even for the newer ones but they can be found. The Centrauo being a two year only model will be hard to get bits for but they are a great machine and very unique with the V4 and fairly rare even by Euro standards . Grandpa and Dad started with fordson and then went to David Brown's and then Same. Rather than trade them in we just built another shed and kept them. Ive got a 950, a 66 880 a 66 990 a 72 1210 4wd and a 84 1494. The Same's 81 Centruion 75, 82 Buffalo 130 a 97 Dorado 70, 2001 Dorado 85 and a 2006 Dorado 86. All have their specific jobs that they are good at and they are all turn key ready for a days work.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

It has a great Center of gravity mate very stable. I can see why they like them in the mountains. I have never seen another Centauro around here. It sounds like you have a great collection of equipment there too mate with is great. Good to see that they are kept and still going. Great stuff

Great video Steve! Surprised how difficult it was the fire up, when it started to smoke so quick I thought it would pick up. Interesting machine, never realised they had a V4. Subscribed!

Hi again mate. Yes it’s never been that hard to start but never sat that long either. It has needed a rebuild for a long time. Thanks for the sub mate and there’s plenty more to come
