Projects and things. Tractors, heavy equipment, firewood, saw-milling, etc. Sometimes when I'm doing a thing, I'll pick up a camera and video the thing. Life on a small farm in southern Ontario.
I thought that looked like a Ontario plate. I just came across your channel and I'm definitely going to check it out and especially if you are in southern Ontario like myself 👍🇨🇦🔧 Oh yeah and getting that machine running that's what I like to call motion lotion. Probably something to do with 30 plus years as a heavy truck mechanic 👍🇨🇦🔧

Searched for a retort video, the 1st 4 did not cover the design. I can’t remember actually what they covered. The design is brilliant. How often do you use charcoal?
That tag might say Drott 40, That machine looks like a 1969 30YC with that house and stick, especially with Detroit 453 and the troubled crane grousers on it. Drott 40 will have a case or a Detroit 471 in it. large counterweight on the 40. was at the Wausau plant saw these made and i owned. Best machines of their time until Case bought out Drott.
My neighbor had a scrap yard he made boo coo bread but also guys he working fer they had got sticky stealing cars I would be right in middle of the stuff Detroit Michigan back in the day he has been long passed away
You should really try to keep everything on that little tractor original! Antiques lose a lot of their historic value when you start upgrading or modernizing them! Since you are determined to butcher it, you should just sell it to somebody who can restore it and retain its historic value!!!
Good day, great video and thank you for sharing this great idea. I have the barrel placed vertically, but I have problem with the gasses leaking on the lid, but my ring for the lid has no screws, it is just a regular ring, so I place mud in the lid cannel. So, do you just screw the ring on the lid, or do you add maybe clay or mud in the lid cannel to seal it more tight? Thank you kindly for your time and answer, and I am sending you very best regards.
Love to see a younger generation saving the equipment that helped build this country. It may not be as economical, but it did it's job by pure Brite force, and was designed to be rebuilt time after time. Thank you.
I just bought a John Deere 3025E and am needing advice on how to remove small pieces of scrap metal, tires, wires, etc located in deep grass. The only attachments I have is a front bucket and a bush hog
I was The practical one of a three sibling Family pre- cast business. I inherited a very lame JCB loading shovel that was 15 years old and a worn out under spec liability! We had no money in 1988 but I asked my contact to look out for a cheap but bigger replacement..on the understanding that it be a stop gap for a couple of years He found one for £4000; A 1968 Michigan 125; It needed only a good servicing and minor parts for the 10 years we had it- Unbelievable In the end the round the clock Leyland diesel died ( no compression) and the Clark transmission, Diff and final drive were incredibly still good. Such well made top quality came out of Michigan
Sounds like the transaxle quieted down after you added the gear oil. I flushed mine with kerosene (same thing you did) drove it a couple times with the Kero and got the nastiness out. Used 85-140 or w/e the specified oil is and felt good about it after. There is a special gear oil to use for the brass in the trans if I remember correctly gl-5? I forget but good to keep it clean!
I'm curious how many burns this set up lasted? I can see the larger barrel lasting quite a while but the 45 gallon drum I would think would burn out after 20 burns or so.
I have an outdoor boiler with a huge firebox, so I just shove a metal pail inside full of wood. The escaping gases and tars burn and help heat the water.
You've introduced me to a whole new world. Kinda envious watching you "play with the big toys." Made me feel like your young fella driving the rig. You made my day. Txs for sharing.
