Forest-Bear # Left for dead. -We will fix it! 

Lots of fun! /Richard

Thanks! Richard

Seabee not srabee .. haha

@@genem.toddjr.1831 Love the way it looks as is. I wouldn't paint it. Just my opinion.

Hi Marty! And thanks. Yes it is the most fun so far. Now i also got the track-tension system working as it should and some more adjustments. You can't drive it thru a deep mud hole or climb a steep hill without a big smile on your face. / Richard, Sweden.

@@YesterdaysMachinery Nice, I'd be suprised if this doesn't go viral. Do a good follow up showing it in action :)

I like it ! would it pull a log out of the woods ?

@@CrimeVid That's what it was built for.. Draging out logs from the steep norwegian hillsides.

Nice to see you here Marty! This thing is soo cool!!

Hi! And thanks! Yes that is a good advice. / Richard

My grandfather worked for Queensland Main Roads. Once one of their Caterpillar D9s threw a track. The track got bound up in the running gear and jammed the pins between the links so badly they had to use dynamite to split the track and remove it!

Hi and thanks! /Richard

I think you are right. Here in Tennessee also.

Yep

Yes ofc. But there was play so it didn't feel like it was that nessesary at this point. Maybe next service. / Richard

Valve lash is set at 7 thousands of an inch on intake and 11 on the exhaust. You have to file off the end of the valve stem to get the proper clearance.

@Urs Reaaly solid engines - I just binned one as it was beyond economical repair(carb, exhaust, linkages......), so replaced it with a 9hp Honda, and fitted the MAG Dynostart onto it! BTW I have a Gutbrod smallholding tractor.

Thank you! Glad to hear that. /Richard

Thank you mate! /Richard

Yes isn't it!" :) / Richard

Hi and thanks! /Richard

Yes, if it is tight and muddy or lots of snow this is really great. I will build some kind of bracket it the back that lifts the logs up a bit from the ground in front. That would help so you dont have to drag them in the soil or over rocks. Gets stuck easy. /Richard

Thanks! I will! /Richard

Please paint the tractor please p paint it it looks awful at least paint the bonnet and maybe paint to trust black please

Pro tip: apply hairspray to the handle bars and inside the grip, they will slid right on and dry quite rapidly, snug as a bug in a rug.

@@SPHYNX99752 bmx pro tip

Pro tip liquid loctite will keep them in place forever 😁

I will have to try this myself !!! Thanks !!

@Urs who built the engine? It’s survived well.

Im working my chenal

That’s what I thought it reminds me of an old David Bradley walk behind tractor my grandpa had way back in the day

Hi! Yes but the metal box that you have your feets in helps out a lot more than it looks. Thank you! / Richard

The front end looks like a walk-behind because it is, It's a Motostandard U10 built in Germany with a Norwegian conversion to tracked forestry tractor. There were several companies converting two wheel tractors in Norway back in the day.

@@ThorAlexandre interesting! We had a few companies that made various attachments here in the US, but nothing like this to my knowledge. Recently the walk-behind tractors are gaining popularity again, just a few years ago you couldn't even give them away. It makes me wonder if there's something like this sitting in a barn somewhere nearby. Either way, my interest is piqued. Thank you for the information! 😀

Yes, it is just like a horse but you dont need to feed it when you not using it. / Richard

Sounds interesting! They had many attachments for them. some more dangerous than others. / Richard

Thanks! /Richard

Hi and thank you! / Richard

Thank you! / Richard

Hi! Lots of Australians here! Thanks /Richard

Yes, I always end up paying more than i decided from the start.. But when i saw this, i realised that i just can't let it go. /Richard

You ought to see what a friend of mine has and can build he built a dump truck about the size of this machine , and the awesome log splitters he's built , and a truck he called Frankenstein , he could build you an army tank out of a pile of scrap metal ...

@@tomrobards7753 America needs guys that can build anything they need. My dad, me, my son and now his son are gifted in the ''need it--build it''

I would have paid a bit for it this is the kind of machines I love

lol Buy some ear protection at auction too. Mine at 50yo ring all the time none stop

Thank's!/Richard

Hi! I bet a hydrostatic lawnmover would be very easy to use! /Richard

Hi! And thanks! /Richard

Hi! Thanks mate. Take care. /Richard

old engine is also on my channel

Yes, but there was good clerance so i just didnt argue with it :) / Richard

@@YesterdaysMachinery 😀👍

Glad you liked it 😊/Richard

Sure is! / Richard

Hi and thanks mate! / Richard

Paint doesn't help much i think. It will stay original! / Richard

Google the name.....it was a large industrial company...

Thanks! / RIchard

Yes maybe in a month or so we will have some snow here in Sweden! :) / Richard

Hy

Part 2 will be fun!

Grret broo

Thanks! It is a U10 i think 🙂 Dont know the company name, but is is in Norway! /Richard

Yes, this one seem to work good in any angle. /Richard

Hi! Im gonna keep it as it is for sure! / Richard

Yes probably. Looks good and no bearing play. / Richard

Yes, would be nive to see ab old video of this in work! /Richard

The engine is a Swiss made MAG. / Richard

Ja det stämmer! / Richard

Nei Reinhardt Maskin i Kristiansand Noreg, hadde ikkje noko med Moto-Standard å gjere, Det var LOG som importerte og selde Moto-Standard i Noreg, men òg Felleskjøpet selde Moto-Standard. Reinhardt Maskin importerte Agria to-hjulstraktorar frå Tyskland, som dei bygga om til fire-hjulstraktorar med rammestyring og 4WD og kalla dei "Grombasen", men dei bygga òg om Agria to-hjulstraktorar til belte-traktorar og dei vart kalla "FR-Drabant", og begge desse traktorane selde Reinhardt Maskin som norsk produserte traktorar(Made in Norway). Det var mange mekaniske-verkstader i Noreg som laga utstyr og reiskap til Moto-Standard to-hjulstraktorar, og det var fleire mekaniske-verkstader som laga tilhengjarar, Gjønnes mekaniske-verkstad(Orkel) i Orkdal laga frontvogner til Moto-Standard, ein mekanisk-verkstad i Voss laga belte-utstyr og vinsj(Vossavinsjen) til Moto-Standard, det er mogleg at Richard´s Moto-Standard har belte-utstyr frå Voss, Underhaug laga òg reiskap til Moto-Standard, slik som gjødselspreiar, hyppeskjær, harv og potetopptakar, Kyllingstad på Jæren laga plogar til Moto-Standard, men slåmaskina til Moto-Standard var laga i Tyskland av Raspe.
