I noticed the tractor was jumpy when letting the clutch out to take off, I checked the rear wheels and found one had side to side movement in the bearing. It turned out to be an easy fix
David Brown's got a wobble In the right rear wheel. But for old Marty T It's no big deal. He took off the wheel And then drained the oil. Took out some shims As thin as tin foil. Put it all back together. Torqued the bolts round the clock. Went out to the stockpile. Got a nice scoop of rock. The David Brown's wobble And the pot hole are gone. I think we're all ready To see the next one. Thanks for the fun Marty T. :-)
That access road is going to look like state highway one. You will now need a 12 tonne vibrating roller that's been lost in the bush for 10 years for 200 dollars. Now I m late for work Thanks for the videos Marty 😊
I’m a grape grower in South Australia and I have an old 885 DB.which I love. It’s old but beautiful and getting tired. These little videos keep it going.Thanks for the video mate,it’s been very helpful .😀 Keep up the great work.👍
@@AdderoYuu David Brown owned Aston Martin at one time, in fact in one promotion ran by David Brown the tractor side of the company gave away a brand new Aston Martin DB5 to a customer who entered that year's draw. People forget how good DB were at one stage with a major manufacturing base in Yorkshire encompassing the production of luxury cars, tractors, vehicle engines and gears and also running their own substantial research and development programme.
As long as there are enough neighbors around with kids for your kids to be friends with growing up... Its not exactly clear how isolated you are there, but that's hopefully not an issue.
I love the way you always measure the amount of lubricant that you pour into the machines. Most shade tree mechanics just pour in enough until it starts to run out and makes a mess.
Glad you got it fixed without too many complications. I would have thought shims would be used to take up slack created by wear rather than taking them out to make it tighter. Anyway, thanks for posting.
What is it like to live on a mountain top at the bottom of the earth? Beautiful country and really like your continue. Keep these video coming, thank you.
Sorry marty that front end loader is ugly and makes the David brown look ugly.. You got the kubota front end loader haven't you. Love to see Some paint on the david brown pleaseeeeeeee 😂
are the shims there for age? As it wears you remove them? Seems strange to remove them to tighten something, it seems you would do the opposite to make it tight.
Glad to see you are smart enough to but grease by the pail/drum instead of using tubes. People with multiple pieces of heavy equipment must go broke buying those cartridges !
Your Awesome Marty, you remind me of the pioneers from a hundred years back, simply because you can fix anything, you dont give up, your always highly successful in such extremely challenging endeavors, its like you were never distracted by the modern world that has made so many of us so weak as such and reliant on others to survive, you really inspire me in my own life and give me more courage to hit higher heights, thanks for being you bro!
Really enjoy when you manage to keep all this old kit (No offence meant) on the road. That view travelling down your mountain track is superb. Please keep the video's coming. Love them all.
I love it when he buys something , runs his Marty 2000 diagnostics and starts changing fluids and checks drives and all the good stuff , it’s entertaining and helps me learn , don’t know if I’ll ever own any if these machines but hey
Hello from across the pond From Niles Illinois USA 👋 just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. i’m just a plumber but love the suspense and the humble explanation of your art of bringing life to the old Machines ✊🏻
Marty my friend, you give a whole new meaning to, one man's junk is another man's treasure👍👍 Thanks for sharing and God Bless you and yours brother 🙏 Jay.
Another job well done. You make it look easy, when I had a small farm I had no idea where to start. I had an old Leyland tractor with really loose steering, it had been used for hauling logs.
Again we are blessed to enjoy another relaxing Marty T video. Between the beautiful landscape and the.off grid life it is treat to watch. 😊👍🍻thanks mate.
You are so damn good fixing things and taking care of your property all by yourself. Live your little videos that show a normal day of your life. Keep it up.
Nice fix!! Really like how you go about diagnosing the issues and then showing the repair!!!! BTW - you live in a very scenic area. Very nice views!!!! I grew up in the country and really enjoyed my life there. Moved to the city after college and it took quite a while to get used to someone living next door. Now I have a couple of places down south of me in the country. I visit them quite a bit.
you have an amazing back yard but l would miss a bit of farm gound to play in with the david brown!! good to see you breaking the new help!!!! great video!!!!
Well Done Marty T, making things work using your common sense and natural mechanical abilities, also planning for the future by protecting things with a mild thin line of grease, your son will appreciate that someday when he pops off the final drive to make a minor adjustment in forty of fifty years. Just was smiling thinking how beautiful your weather was that day, thanks for sharing with us. If you get a chance check out this 1891 German "Weltreford" Ratchet Screwdriver restoration, over 11 million views in two weeks, Pretty amazing short video, I know a man of your mind will greatly appreciate it.
I like the gravel spreading demonstration: front dump and backwards drag with bucket, front dump and forward drag with blade, and front gradual dump and push forward with a vertical bucket-nice gravel distribution work and mechanical how-to-do!
Hi Marty, Another nice find. It's certainly in need of a good clean to get decades of dirt accumulation off. But you have to determine it's worth that effort and water. Noticed when you were using your micrometer you used the main barrel to get your reading, you should use the smaller knob at the end as it's like a torque wrench that always applies the same pressure. And when you've finished never close them up, always leave the anvils slightly separated, so changes in temperature and the resultant expansion/contraction won't damage the instrument. A front bucket is something I would love to have on my tractor, so useful. All the best, Dennis.
When I saw the video of your hydropower setup, I was really impressed. I don't think there is anything really that you can't fix if you put your mind to it.
Well that was a simple fix. Tractor wheel bearings should last forever. Your compound is getting a bit too crowded. Might be time to move your perimeter fence on out a bit.
Thank you again Marty. I really enjoy watching you work on these old machines. And I always learn something. I don't know if there are any David Brown tractors here in the states but I've been on the lookout for a nice old ford tractor. Possibly an 8 or 9 n. Have a wonderful day.
Such a simple fix but wow what an option to actually have! By the By I used to talk to, Yell at and have running verbal abuse battles with my Sheep but to be fair I did taunt them occasionally with an empty feed bucket to move them and the older Ewes could be fairly vengeful ;-)
boy, you got lucky with those lugnuts. i had to put a 4' cheater pipe on my breaker bar to get the ones on my massey 33 broke loose when i changed a 38" rear tire by hand last month. that was an adventure, let me tell you. speaking of adventure, being a flatlander, i really do envy those driveway views. it's an absolute paradise where you live.
Tyres full of water. Or 3pl weight can be advantageous and a diff lock. My old backorder had this and made loader work easier .A low gear ..don't ride the clutch and just curl and load with minimal wheel slip. God you can get some work done on an old rig like yours. Cheers mate from an Aussie. I'm sorry if the advice is too much but I just learnt how to drive my old banger by teaching myself. Got plenty of road work and building done with it
So you don't spin rear tires, tilt your bucket and pull pile back towards you to break it up. Works great with dirt too. Your loader will thank you. Great fix and l like your equipment finds!!!
