Will it Start, $500 Seized tractor

Really interesting…nothing more satisfying than getting something old and broken down running again. Great video 👍

I drove a 1900 just like this in the 80s when I worked for a park district. It was a good little tractor. Very reliable.

such a great deal on a good little tractor.. glad it worked out for you and thanks for taking us along for the ride

My dad still has one of these and uses it all the time for bush-hogging. Great old tractors. Good job it, Danny!

Great job, Daniel! You are amazing 👏

Thanks for making this video. I've just picked up a Ford 3000 for $500. Said to be seized. You've given me lots of direction to get it started.

I feel like you got better deals down there. Up here in pennsylvania I bet someone would try getting 1500 for it as it set seized up. Its made in japan by shibaura. I worked on a smaller one before, seemed built good.

Daniel, you haven't lived till you drop the wrench in a bucket full of oil and have to reach in and get the wrench out, you where lucky and dropped it in a empty bucket. Love you Chanel, i am 18 and have 4 old tractors from the 50s one is a old ford a 861 power master witha 5 speed its a 1954.

So much joy from these old machines. They are fun.

You sir are a CHAMPION!!!!

A boy and his toy that's pretty cool. You got a good deal. I've been wanting to tractor to play with for a long time.

Those years were great little ford tractors taken care of would run a long time

Danny boy...you are so awesome. Good job....cheers! 🍻

Good old Ford. Drove one for years

Great longer video. I get why you might want to keep her but fix the basics and give it a lick of paint. Those appear to be selling north of $4000. Either way, very cool. Moar please!

Great job getting running again. I have two of these. No need to take off with rpms that high. There should have been a foot throttle control on the rh side step plate. I see it's missing as is the lh step plate. Did you bend the rh lift arm? Any way...there are supposed to be springs on the inner sides of each arm to keep them from swinging back and forth. ..notice the welded on loops. You can pick them up at Lowe's. Not the original key...it should be smaller and covered in hard plastic. Who cares right...lol. I just did a restoration on one, it was in real good shape to start with. We gave 3700 for it. I wouldn't waste time painting it. It's a beater. There is no air filter to look up. It's an oil bath, you take it apart, clean out the sludge in the bottom and fill with oil...the base is marked with an oil line. Oil filter size is okay, larger one is still available. Finding parts for them is a pain and rather expensive. Throw any type of can over the exhaust when not in use....or put on a rain cap. I definitely would have paid 500 just for salvage.

Great deal you had👍 One word of warning coming from a tractor man, cut the rpm down when turning, you can flip them in a heartbeat on roughish ground 🤔🤔🥴🥴

Ford Powah lol. heck ya man, what a great find and luckily easy fix. wouldnt mind seeing another one of these Will it start vids from ya. make sure u fix the missing bolt up front

rain flooded my intake and locked the engine(diesel 2 cyl ford 1600). i turned the engine backwards with a wrench and when water sloshed back i soaked it up with a rag till no more water. engine turned fine and started, but mine was in running condition before the rain.

Great job!, great deal for the money!.
