I have been a Networker & an Online Marketer for many years now. I am a self taught Graphic Artist. I also love videoing and video editing. Whilst I do have many grandchildren, this is NOT where I got the nickname of The Supergranny. Somewhere along the way, both downline & upline started call me "Supergranny" & the name has become part of me..LOL. In my other RU-vid channel, I talk about our Tassie Devil & animals, pristine beaches, beautiful gardens. In my little town, we have the WORLD's OLDEST Ford Motor Car...magnificently restored..Lot's of videos & info there. I'd love to share it with you. TheSupergranny.net www.RU-vid.com/thesupergranny
wow...good luck to my eyes for watching your video to this very very old tractor... I have to bow down my head to the designer .. wonerful tractor... I restpect to you the owner that invested time and budget to improved it and turn it's life !! to this ...it 's telling me more to the past ... yes, very interesting machine .. thank you . God bless you .
Thank you for posting this video and mostly for saving a unique and odd piece of history!!! It's people like you that helps the younger generation understand what mechanical science accomplished in days long gone. Those engineers didnt have as much R & D back then. It took engineers who were mech. inclined to build these. Its easy for someone to take an idea and simplify it, but it's the 1rst idea thats hard to come up with!
Exactly why the hit and miss went out of favor I don't know.. The fuel efficiency is so much higher, while the power is still available. Put a load on 'em, and they sound like a conventional four stroke, or two, dependent on design. Very nice restore ;)
@peepeevagi Hi Yes its a beautiful piece of machinery...very attention-getting. Francis has restored just SOOO MANY vehicles & machinery...& most of them are over 100 years old...Best Wishes, Mary The Supergranny
Hi Denis, I am glad you enjoyed it..Its a beautiful machine isn't it? Did you watch the other video here on the same site,in Favorites, restored by the same man, Francis Ransley. It's the OLDEST Ford car in the World..& Its here In Wynyard, Tasmania. This is an exciting video too..Let me know what you think of it. Best Wishes, Mary the Supergranny
Absolutely incredible, Mary! This just shows that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. He had the "stick-to-it"-iveness to take something that was perceived as a hunk of junk, and turned it into something of real value! Good for him!!!
WOW, that is quite extraordinary!! Thank you so much for sharing this! I truly believe that restoring anything, include old cars and tractors, is a lost art! Tula
This would have taken many, many hours of hard work to accomplish such a feat as this restoration. It would be interesting to know how long it really took. Thanks for sharing this with us and keep them coming. Glenda
Wow Mary, this truly shows how one man's trash becomes another's treasure! Your friend is a very talented and gifted individual. As usual, you have captured the whole spirit of the thing with your wonderful video. Looking forward to more Glenda
Another great video Mary. I always like to know what your up to. I have an energy and recycling blog that I would love to put this on. This really is a trash to treasure story. I am a country girl so seeing this wonder piece of old JUNK restored to a beautiful running tractor is really a work of art in more ways than one. Looking forward to your next project. Keep up the great work. Cindy Bolley Skype ID abeque
