I bought the CHEAPEST diesel tractor on marketplace! Its BROKEN in half! 

after 40 years as a diesel tech, it's nice to sit back and watch somebody else do the dirty work.

He practically STEALS a nice, decent sized, 4WD Mahindra diesel tractor with front end loader, he makes the broken frame STRONGER than the factory and puts it all back together in one day. He's a Fab Rat, definitely. Then he tests and shows rescued, repaired, restored tractor doing all kinds of tractor things that resemble useful work...what's NOT to like?! Cool. Keep on keepin' on!

My favorite part about your videos is the “homemade” feel to them. That sense of “F it, I’m sure I’ll figure it out…” and diving into something. Leaving in the parts where something goes clearly wrong and could be construed as making you look stupid, think cutting a way to get the wires through the frame when there was already a cutout you couldn’t see or the tractor rolling away, that gives the videos a very genuine feel. Those are things you could have easily cut out and nobody would have been the wiser. Life isn’t perfect and no project goes perfectly. I look forward to every video or livestream you do and cannot wait to see the finished cabin. Thanks for sharing the journey.

Great little tractor. I'm jealous of all the toys--I'm older and living in a condo now but used to have a small farm so I'm (re)living vicariously watching your stuff. Keep it up!

"I'm not very smart." Dude, you just pulled apart a tractor and put it back together again!

I'll just say this. You bought it,you fixed it and it's yours. I think you did fine,real fine. You work hard and always work things out if not successful the first time. You try again. The video was good,the drone flight was beautiful. The woods and grassland,the plowed fields,the sunset,gorgeous!!!😊Pet Max for me.🐶Good boy!!

When I read the title, I could hear Jim Ross saying "He's broken in half!" 🤣🤣🤣

Nice welding job. Stronger than the factory.

Run forest, run...glad you caught the tractor

You are so fun to watch, just like it was watching my dad when I was growing up. He learned it in upstate NY. Nice tractor.

“I know the safety police are in the comments right now…” LMAO!! 🤣🤣🤣💀

Nothing like living the dream brother!! Not only building your dream home but maintainng fixing and working on your equipment? That's my kind of life! Love your videos and accomplishments! Outstanding work!

You got a great deal. Glad you could fix it.

16:24 slick camera move while operating heavy machinery

That sure was next to nothing and you sure made light work of tearing it down fixing it and putting it back together. Reminds me of being in the military in the mid to late 70’s we kept a lot of misc parts and it sure paid off with all those Clevis pins and other things you were short ! I was a wheel and track mechanic for six years . Nothing is worse than not having parts or tools. Rock on brother!

Looks like you got a great deal, because you can repair it yourself. Very handy piece of equipment to have. Good job.

Wow, the way you work, you wouldn't ever have a problem getting a job. Smart.

Happy for you, that IS a great deal! Thanks for the upload and sharing❤

This was Freakkin awesome! Saw this on the train to work and had a blast!

"There goes my tractor." 😂😂😂😂 I LOL'd!

Great job welding and fixing it up. Looks like it did a good job mowing.

My vote is, keep it. That was a great deal. Tough to replace with something comparable, for that money. Youl will be using it all the time.

For $2600 you got a steal. Working on tractors is one of the most enjoyable tasks of my job. But Concrete Kyle is right-blue or green, and avoid orange.

@99 Projects Think about keeping it, you may need it down the line. I've got a Ford 1710 and I use it all the time!

I really enjoyed this video, I like the cabin videos as well, but this was a nice break

Knowledge, skills, experience = priceless!

I really enjoy how you get stuck in and work hard at mending the tractor. Good one😊

i really enjoy your videos, nice to see your cabin coming on, great tractor.

Very good deal on the tractor, good luck with it.

You said it! "I have the capabilities to fix it." And fix it you did. For $2600 you've got a great workhorse, why sell it? Thanks for sharing buddy!

Awesome deal.

99 Projects...great intro and hook, excellent little-bit-of-this-little-bit-of-that content in the mix, people like seeing projects, almost ANY projects, being worked on and being figured out and completed...upgrades and modifications in the future...part of the mix. Keep going, whatever you're working on that you think would be boring for people to watch, it's probably not, we/they would watch you tear off, repair, replace that cabin roof line as part of any video and LIKE IT just fine. ;)

YOU are one talented YOUNG MAN

Sure looks like you got yourself a piece of paradise there. Beautiful property!

Great job welding, as a former heavy duty mechanic your frame weld will fail in the future. Look up fish plate for frame. Basically you need angle on your plate to prevent cracking in the frame

Amazing. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching you're videos.

Awesome deal you got on the tractor. Have fun with the new toy ❤😂🇨🇦

I found you in the RU-vid worm hole, and I'm watching all the cabin videos. I don't know why, but I can't get enough! Great job!

Andrew would be proud of that fix. Great video

Well it works and look at you getting that cutting done.

Your a handy guy to have around. Great video. Thanks.

wow great deal on tractor.

Here is a short safety story. In 1971, I was in Midland Michigan wotking for a landscaping business and was a laborer always a shovel in my hand. This one job I was shoveling dirt out of a front end loader and my boss turned off the engine and said "Lunch time". I had to finish my job before taking lunch and continued working. As I was getting ready to shovel out more, heard a creaking noise and the the front end loader came down on my upright knee and trapped me there. I was stuck in the kneeling position for hours, but didn't hurt. No one was around. I was more upset that I was unable to finish the job. My boss freaked when he came back thought I was done for. I had a impression on my upper leg muscle for years where that shovel kept me hostage.

There is no way I could drive my tractor while brush hogging AND fly a drone at the same time. Nope, no way

Great deal for a very versatile machine

Good repair Bud

I don’t know anything about fixing tractors or anything for that matter lol.But you sure know what you doing !!! Great job 👍🏼

Real cheap in my opinion. Good for you. It. Will do you fine.

Going to re-watch this February 1st when it's -15 F in Northern KY...

I feel like almost everyone has thought about buying the “super cheap simple fix” broken version of what you want and fixing it yourself, BUT YOU ACTUALLY DID IT. Great video buddy. Well done and congrats on the good deal

Nice, you stole it. Handy machines.

That’s a good purchase in my opinion, would be nice to keep that around the property!

nice. looks relatively new too. It helps being a gifted person like you. :)

Very nice tractor. U got a hell of a good deal on it. They are very useful. Multi taskers for sure.

You did get a good deal. With your skills, you were able to fix it. Win-Win.

You will find a use for that especially with the 4w drive. This winter it will be a godsend. Just make sure you hit the green machine store for pins. Your going to need then. 😀

tractors make the world go round

The way to take loader off is to start with the bucket ina good dumping angle and do not curl it in until you are ready for the arms to left off, than slowly curl your bucket up and your arms will left off. But do it on solid ground.

24:45 reminds me of an area I mowed in Edwardsville, IL USA power lines, steep hill. A usually backed up the hill. At the top was close to a really nice subdivision with a golf course.

I totally expected a tractor to have to be chased down.

Very nice row of dimes on the welded cracks! Good fix, it looks like the tractor came down hard on the front end and busted. Great video Bud.

99 Projects...you're definitely doing something right, a lot of things actually. Your channel is growing at a good pace, if you simply keep making videos which show you and your friends doing a little of this and a little of that, all kinds of different things you do anyway and need to do, people ARE GOING TO WATCH, and like them! You're a little bit Fab Rats, a little bit Casey LaDelle, a little bit Vice Grip Garage AND Vice Grip Lodge (definitely), a little bit Matt Carriker and a little bit Raising Voyagers...that would be SIX HUGE COMPLIMENTS to a very newer, finding it's way, growing channel...yours. Just stick with it, when ideas or projects or gotta-do-it's come up or occur to you, go for it on camera. ;)

Looks good brother, stay safe and healthy! Keep it, prayers sent! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻

DAM DUDE REALLY NICE JOB AND NOW YOU HAVE A NICE TRACTOR. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duuuuude, good for you! I've been looking for similar buys for a compact tractor, sub-compact backhoe and big wood chipper. I just got an AMH Ultra-MIG 200 welder at auction so I can finally tackle repairs and projects that require metal fabrication...just have to teach myself to weld first haha! Great buy, great wprk, and another great episode!

These camera shots are craaazy. Wow.

Mahindra is a good Indian Lmv and Hmv company and they make some great tractors.. They even make scooters 🛵

nice weld job.... fan looks beat LOL!

Nice deal on the tractor! Beautiful property! - watching from Lake wales, Florida

Hell yeah nicely done young man !!

Nice work. Do yourself a favor and get a 3 point quick hitch. I bought a cheap Harbor Freight one and I love it.

I guess when you had Mr.Red fixed,, he wanted to get to work, but Dad wasn't ready for Mr. Red to take off like thst!!! LOL!!!

One of everything is called a suside.used to do it as a kid all the time at the soda machine. Sometimes its good some times not so good ice tea kinda messes it up.

i think you are a genius!! so knowledgeable at everthing you do !!

Yes, imma cringe and tighten my sphincter! I knew a guy who died doing just what you were doing - working under a raised bucket with no blocking. An ounce of prevention...

Maybe you have said in a previous video, what State you live in… but where are you??? We really enjoy your videos!

Watching u work never gets old and u never know what to expect wuth you😂 have a blessed day!❤

OK, you got me. I figured I was wrong so I deleted my message. I was thinking I was wrong on China. Thanks for letting me know India/Japan! Good stuff. Great job on the welding!!!

Super cool. Keep the videos coming. Great work

I say try to fix up the tracker and if its not working out get rid of it. You can't lose.

I’m usually a carpentry kinda gal but you are peaking my interest in mechanics. Cool I’m an amateur. I work an office job in IT.

Enjoyed your video, thanx for sharing.

Great deal you found. Not a real hard fix. Good luck.

My 1st guess was $1500 (U.S.A.), but then I got to where you said the hydraulics had been regularly greased. A seller like that wouldn't have let a piece of machinery like that go for only $1500; so I'm upping my guess to $3,500. Now I got to where you revealed what you paid for it. I don't think you'd have paid that much money for something (even that super gorgeous tractor) unless you'd been pretty confident that you could fix what was broken. When I saw what you did, I could understand your confidence. I agree that it was, as you put it, a crazy-good deal. But then, you seem to have a knack for getting stuff for a good deal. 😊

Strong Andrew Camarata vibes on this video and this channel! I love it. Subbed.

Great Deal Good Fix!

Just warning you NEVER go under hydrolics without a hydrolic lock! When you put that bumper back on at 12:45 it looks like there is no hydronic lock. Edit: I watched farther and see that you know, I love your videos and would hate for you to have the loader fall on you.

Nice looking welds. Stronger then new.

I’ve never heard of that brand of tractor before and I’ve been farming most of my life lol

Great repair and some nice looking welds!!!

so nice to see such an adaptable young man do his thinbg wish I had his talent, could never get the hang of welding don't know why I just cant't get it right???? can do almost anything else.. Damn

i like the sound of its motor and the width of the tires, hood manirs for its size, price is right, I had a similar case International but its transmission was bitchy, now im hydrolic auto shift like everybody and backing into reverse is a breeze. have fun.

The way the loader came off you need to keep it on flat ground or it could be slightly sprung those loaders come off really easy quickly

Nice repair! You've discovered why NON AMERICAN steel has very poor alloy and or heat treated qualities -- 80 year old farm tractors made in the U.S. are still making hay!

I was excited when I purchased my first battery powered lawn mower, because I can charge the battery with my solar set up. You have a tractor...cutting your lawn with a rectangle.

I don't know what it is about this channel, but you could make watching paint dry and it would be totally entertaining. Congrats on the new toy,, and please give Max a few scratches behind the ears for me!

That is a sweet tractor, especially for the price! Pays to know how to do stuff......nice work

Old video, butt u did an awesome job welding the frame back together. keeper for sure. does great using the bushcutter..

Good morning 99 projects If you can fix it buy it! Its always good to save some money! Sounds like you got a deal on it! I enjoyed this tractor video Have a nice day, see you next time.

Listen to that crowd roar when you're backing back out of the container garage around the 20 minute mark. I think the AI is so smart these days.
