My grandfather also has a burgundy version of this. He would definitely give me driving lessons when we went to the village when I was a child. Now my grandfather passed away, but Universal 445 was left to us as a heirloom. When I saw it, I instantly went back to my childhood, but our Universal 445's exhaust exit was from the bottom, not from the top. Exhausts exiting from above suppress the engine sound of the tractor. The exhaust sound is much louder.
Good to see a video on the 445. I would have liked to see the camera be on the described pedals and levers a bit better in the early parts of the video. While travelling, a lot of the voice was drowned out by engine noise so subtitles and transcript just interpreted what you were saying, as "music" or "foreign" or just nothing. There is no substitute for having the microphone close to your mouth. Thanks for making the video. I'll replay a few times.
