Bought an Abandoned Massey Tractor - Will it Run? 

GoPro strikes again! Had to start over with the edit. Enjoy! If you're passionate about saving obscure island based tractors check us out on patreon - patreon.com/WatchWesWork

Love seeing your dad. He's the kind of guy you just want to hang out with. Thanks for the great content.

This was a real treat. Lost my Dad 4 years ago, so nice to see your Dad still kicking. Best wishes to both of you.

This felt like and old skool Wes video, but with the added twist of having your dad around. I love the videos where you bring forgotten relics back to life.

You are so lucky you get to work with your dad. Value these times. I miss my dad every day.

I love your channel, love seeing your dad in your videos, you're a lucky guy to have a dad like him. Good luck on bringing that cute little tractor back from an early grave, it looks and sounds pretty solid.

Cherish these projects with your dad. I lost my dad to "the C19 word". I miss working on the farm with him... I never realized how much it meant to me at the time. I still have a bunch of his "projects" to work on but it's not the same without him.

I have to say your videos are getting so much more entertaining. Great job

I enjoy watching Wes work - dad's are the best. I've never met a millennial that would give Mouth to mouth to a tractor fuel tank

I ran one of those when I worked on a sod farm. Pulled a roller that would be used right before we cut it. Good little tractor, those floatation tires have very little traction. Thank you Wes.

Oh yeah, that will be a great running little tractor with a little bit of clean up & clean out. Love seeing the distinguished gentleman (pops) working with Wes. Thank you sir.

This type of video is what originally brought me to your channel! I still watch and enjoy your every day mechanic videos, but I do love the "Will it Run" style installments. Thanks Wes!

As a MF 135 owner with the same AD3.152 engine, they're a total PITA to bleed. Total nightmare, it's a good hour's worth of work sometimes. Never let it run out of diesel.

You will note here the father-son enablement dynamic when purchasing old machinery. This is why addiction to buying money pits (old cars, motorcycle, tractors etc.) runs in families. Younger men will inevitably end up inheriting their father's projects leaving them the proud owners of rusting family heirlooms. "Dis was your grandfather's tractor," he'll one day say to a child completely bemused by an archaic bit of rusty machinery "never ran quite right." 😊

This was a wonderful video. For those of us who grew up working on cars and projects with our Dad, this brings back so many memories. I could watch videos of you and your Dad working on projects for hours. Thank you for this special treat.

I don't remember ever seeing you happier than when you're working with your dad. Maybe he should visit your shop when you have to fix the worst junk.

Cherish days like that with ur dad. They are golden.

My grandfather was a MF mechanic in the 60’s and 70’s. I have a bunch of his old tools from back then. He enjoyed working on the old square bailers the most. Thank you so much for bringing the warm memories of him back for me.

Wes, no apologies were necessary for the lack of explanations as to what was going on as you rescued that turd. It was fun to watch. I hope your dad is able to get it back to everyday driving condition.

The bungi license plate restraint system. Classic👍

Nothing beats working with Dad. I remember those days and have passed it down to my boys and daughter. We work very well together. All 3 are engineers as well.

You drove a dead tractor onto the trailer and brought it home. Another “W” for Watch Wes Work! 👍

Love the bungee cord on your front license plate. 👌

You and your dad are farmers. That is the highest compliment I can give.

I lost my dad decades ago. But this reminds me of working on projects with my dad when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing. Cherish every moment. I miss the pandemic traffic, too.

Back in the early 90’s, our high school had one of those with a huge reel mower behind it. They prepped the football field with it. Great video Wes!

nice to see you two helping each other as i lost my dad when i was 5 years old over 50 years ago

Rescuing old broken tractors is the best part of life, hope to see more on this project in the future!

Reminds me of my apprenticing days working with the old fellas on site.

Working your Dad and you together brings amazing memories!! Thanks for sharing

It's a real pleasure to watch you and your dad working in unison, with mutual respect and cordiality! What a team!

The fuel tank strapped to the roof is comical, I love it

Great father son project. Easy to follow what you were doing. Explanation not necessary. Thanks for posting.

Definitely one of the funnest episodes of Watch Wes Work. As well as the longest one with his dad on camera. Definitely liked watching them working together and the commentary of the off camera guy added. Sure would love to see his Dad bring it to Wes's shop to work together getting it running real good and reliable.

That was a hoot. My Dad wasn't mechanically inclined but he helped me put an eng in my car one time. That's one of the best memories I have of him.

Cherish the time spent with your dad, even if it's just chatting while working on a project. Time well spent and sorely missed later in life. Great content as usual. Thanks for all that you do.

Adventures with Wes and Dad. :) Awesome!

Wes, we're lucky to watch you and Dad do this all together. Thank you for sharing the blessings and love 🙏🏾

I generally don't like the bring back from the dead videos; but I absolutely loved listening to you guys talking. More of that please.

Less than 20 seconds into the video and I’m LMFAO😂! Wes is the best!

I always enjoy your videos and especially with your Dad. I also like the humorous spots that you are adding. I laughed right at the beginning when you stood there looking at the can of starting fluid but then took all you had on the shelf. Nice touch. May God bless you and yours.

Way to go Wes, you’ll never regret helping your dad.

Great video Wes, enjoy you and dad together, priceless, thank u from nyc

One of the few channels where I never skip through, I always watch the whole thing.

It's a cute little beastie! Nice recovery gents! Wes awesome to see your dad, and his friends; loved the old stories!

Thanks for another great video Wes🐾🍺 Cool to see you and your dad working together.

Awesome. Love your dad while you can. These moments will stay in your heart for ever.

Beginning of video was pretty funny. What is amazing is the depth of knowledge displayed here and these guys don't even think much about it.

Fantastic video Wes and your dad is cool. I nearly fell of my chair laughing when he gave that fuel jug mouth to mouth but hey, it worked. That’s an awesome little tractor too. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺

seems like a win. 3 or 4 good tires, 66% cylinder operation, some brakes, leaking hydraulics, finicky fuel system, and overall it runs. what's not to like - thanks Wes

Way to go Wes, you’ll never regret helping your dad.. Way to go Wes, you’ll never regret helping your dad..

Nice To See You Help Your Dad Wes I Miss Mine 46 Years Ago Keep Up The Great Work

I think the part that surprised me the most was seeing the powerstoke for the first time in ages. You weren’t sure it would last another winter, but she’s still going strong apparently. Love watching the videos where you are problem solving on some relic - that moment where you’re not sure it’s history and you get to know the project always makes the video worthwhile.

It is always a pleasure to go on adventures with Wes and family 😂❤

Glad you have a good relationship with your dad

Diesel Creek always taught me you're supposed to say "CONTACT!" just as trying to start, haha

Wes, my Dad would have been tickled to see you and your Pop working this through. God bless you both. Outstanding video!

Brilliant Wes.... Love watching you and your Pa working together 😁👍🏻👍🏻

Lost my dad when I was 30. Nice to see you both work together. Thanks again😊

Your dad is an adorable man, he knows what he's speaking about. Nice work as usual

Love the father and son moment. Loved the video and glad that you guys got the tractor running.

Hi Wes, iit is really nice to see you and your dad working on this project- super cool. I bet you guys have some great stories. Loved the opening vibe as well.

Lost dad when I was a 20 year old punk. Its so cool to see you doing things together.

I miss those days so much with my dad. Cherish those Wes. 😊

Outdoor abandoned yellow equipment? Starting fluid? I thought this was diesel creek

Love your channel Wes. Your dad is one cool dude. You make a great pair working on things. You are a lucky man to still have him ! Just joined your patreon group. Keep up the good work bud

The extra "b-roll", music, different angles, extra editing, etc. are a great addition to your content. Keep it up.

I loved the discussion on which pump it is by father and son

Father, Son working together is nothing better than that. Whether it is good or bad, family #1, thank you for another great video sir. Always looking forward to seeing them.

Great video as usual! Love the vids with your Dad in them. He is such a cool old guy with a ton of experience!

Your dad is a great guy. Good video

Nice tractor, like to see them brought back to life.

Hi Wes was laughing the minute this started the music was brilliant hahaha your dad is a great man nothing fazes him he just gets on with it now I know where you get it from great moments to treasure and great video mate bringing these machines back to life take care and have a great week all the best to you the family and max 🔧🔧🔧👍👌❤️🚜🚜😀

Great video Wes, I would give everything I own to do just one more project with my dad. You're good people doing good things!

I love them old Massey Ferguson tractors!! The day I brought my MF 40 industrial loader home it had no brakes and when I unloaded it off the trailer the steering wheel came off in my hand!! Got her fixed up now and she does her job!! Good luck with your project!

Your adventures with dad are giving me adventures with dad flashbacks, especially the janky bad ideas that work part. Thanks for that!

Great video Wes! My father and I used to do the very same thing... Not just tractors but anything that burned fuel. Dump trucks, boats, and equipment mostly. You have a pretty good channel going on and I'm enjoying it. Keep it up and I will be waiting for the next one!

Just the greatest channel 😊♥️

We still have and use one of these to mow our farmhouse lawn-they’re really nice in open areas. Love the recovery operation and that no fluids were left behind 🤣

personally I understood what was going on in your video, it's fun to watch you and your father work together, it always reminds me of me and my father. go on adventures and rescue an old car or tractor. good times

I always get a kick out of your communication skills shared with your Dad. 👍

Son, someday this will be all yours. Dad

Really enjoyed this video with your father. Occasionally my father and I were able to work together like that, depending on his mood. If he was upset, part of my job was watching for flying tools. Farming is stressful at times and he mellowed out in his older age. Looks like a decent little tractor.

I learned a lot about auto mechanics from my dad. He knew a lot of old school tricks. Great to see you and your dad working on projects together.

That was cool Wes. I lost my dad in 08, he and I were a lot like you and your dad. Enjoy it . I miss my dad every day.

A comment for the algorithm!

Wess brings back lots of memories. Me and two older friends use save old tractors and equipment all the time years ago. One passed away and I moved . Appreciate the memories.

I always feel bad when Wes works on rust trucks but love it when its old trackers etc with Dad. I may have to bring him my truck from Texas so he knows.

In Australia they have a Ether called start you bastard

Copious amounts of starting fluid and a battery pack-it’s going to be a good day!

This channel Vice Grip Garage, and Jims Automotive Machine Shop are my favorite father and son channels.

27:31 the Massy skiWz photo behind you was perfect for the video.

Your Dads cool ...

Your dad is such a bonus to your videos!

I swear you could start a podcast (sound only) “Called listen to Wes work” it would be ASMR. Featuring special guests like your father, even people who had no mechanical experience could listen to your banter and enjoy. 😂Thanks for sharing 😊

Your Dad is in very good condition and obviously an educated man as well.

love that snowmobile picture

Hi Wes, well that was a hoot! Pops seems like a terrific guy, it's nice he's around and you two seem to work well together. So is the tractor dad's project, or yours? If dad's, shove a camera at him, lets see a video! I'd love to watch it! ... "Man, I miss the Pandemic" ...LOL!!!

that rubber bungie holding on front plate LOL, rust belt living.

Wes, enjoyed the video, your commentary about you and your Dad trusting that each other knows what they're doing was priceless mutual respect. Treasure these moments. Thank you for sharing.
