That little tractor is a gem! Purrs like a kitten once you got it going and looks like there’s still tons of good life left in it
Agreed cool little tractor, surprised how well it fired up on that second go
6:54 that line of mini tractors 😂😂😂 you are the boss Matt !
All those Cub Cadets watching, wondering “who’s the Japanese guy?” 😂
Enjoy your channel matt, your funny, a normal guy and you don't swear.
THAT ENGINE START made a Korean dude smile🎉
The amount of joy on your face when you're spinning around like that, absolutely worth it. I love this channel. Thanks for the video dude!
I had no idea how small that tractor was until you picked it up with the Bobcat. Nice of you to clean up the ruts for the lady.
Matt, your excitement every time you get an old engine running is infectious. I sit here cheering for you every time. I really enjoyed this one in particular -- what a great old tractor! Thumbs up for a great video, and definitely a thumbs up for pink paint and wrap!
This tractor was also sold as a Satoh Beaver. I have a really nice example and it runs like a top. One thing to be aware of is that if the glow plug system is not working, they are not happy about starting unless it's a nice warm day.
The older Kubota's are the same way. Sometimes even when its warm out they need glow plugs to start.
I was wondering the same thing why not hot wiring those glow plugs …. ?
Pretty much all indirect injection diesels struggle to start without glow plugs unless it’s warm
First job out of high school in 1970 was at a local family- owned garden center who also sold Satoh tractors. They also had a commercial grounds maintenance operation. Many times, we would go to the site of a new home and do landscaping ,planting trees, shrubs and even a sod lawn. and they used those Satoh tractors. For their size they were amazing and so reliable. You have a true gem there. It deserves a full restoration for sure.
Everything is worth saving when you have a shop with heated floors. Congratulations again on getting that thing built. It's about time
I think that you should video everything you do with that tiny tractor. The steam clean, the replacement of the exhaust manifolds, the repaint, and especially the gifting. Iwould love to see your wife during it with a big smile as well. GREAT JOB getting it running. Can hardly wait to see it all fixed up with a pink paint job.
It needs zoomies with chrome tink-tinks and LED headlights
@@rmarkc OK. This is weird.. I looked up "chrome tink-tinks" and this came up: A bunch of semistylish people(?) and two pictures of a Rabbit..Wtf?? 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂 google.com/search?sca_esv=7994f51f647571a9&rlz=1C1YTUH_deDE1074DE1074&sxsrf=ACQVn09c57r5GQ5oA64UOl4ch2uwPOhiZg:1711230669830&q=chrome+tink-tinks&tbm=isch&source=lnms&prmd=vinbz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjav9CBr4uFAxUpi_0HHfwmARQQ0pQJegQICBAB&biw=1098&bih=491&dpr=1.75
The few seconds of Matt's face doing donuts on the driveway alone is enough reason to hit the thumbs up people. Come on guys, do a man a seasons favour and hit the 👍. If we don't see you before, merry christmas Matt and viewers 🎄🎄🎄
I didn't see his face doing donuts. Do you mean gurning?
I just always forget to hit the like button because I'm too busy looking for my next Diesel Creek video 😂
Had a similar thought. He was so happy with his silly little tractor.
Havent seen it but seeing this comment is enough like!
I thought the same thing at the donut scene...a kid on Christmas morning. BTW, I always hit the 👍button.
Howdyyawl from the land down under. What a gem of a find. A good little market garden tractor. With attatchments too. Your wife will love it, even if she doesn't want it. You picked well. Enjoy.😊
Wife,Tractor as a gift,,,,,you are one very brave man.....Good luck
That husband who passed away probably thanks you for rescuing and caring for his little machine. No doubt these tractors are heckin reliable, once they run properly.
But why did the widow not sell the stuff ten years ago instead of letting it sit and self destruct?
@@erik_dk842 sentimental value is priceless
He might haunt you if you paint it pink though lol
@@steveelford97 Or jackals offered her cents on the dollar for the items before he was even buried.
My father-in-law passed away three months ago. Followed by my brother-in-law. This is so true. My mother-in-law is having a hard time with figuring out what of their things to keep, what to give away, etc.
14:38 mouse running from the tractor towards Christine's front wheel. Great video, Matt. You never disappoint.👍👍👍👍👍
I was wondering if I was the only one who saw that.
A lot of pride getting that thing from scrap to running! Awesome job!
Matt, you are a Diesel Engine GURU. YOUR DEISEL SKILLS AMAZE ME.
That little tractor looked so happy getting to do spins in the driveway again! Great Job Matt!
Most satisfying part was watching Matt just drive around ….the look of joy he had doing donuts was priceless
Mighty big magnet you have on that trailer! Attracts all kinds of steel objects.
I can't believe how excited I get when it almost srats. Its like cheering on my favorite team
You can tell that he is the kind of guy that you would want to sit down and have a drink with and talk for hours about anything, just a good guy
doy
Considering how little it took to get it running, you got one hell of a deal on that little tractor! If you do decide to repaint it, I suggest dark crimson for the areas that are now dark blue [that color will show the dirt less], Barbie pink for the areas that are white, and a leopard print seat cover. Oh, and don't forget the deep blue LED headlight bulbs. A nice final touch will be to paint eyelashes on the cowling above the headlights. Your neighbors will be scandalized, but your wife will love it! As a bonus, she'll own a machine she can use to compete in those garden tractor pull events! She'll become so famous you'll have to start a whole new KZhead channel!
I think that would be so funny. My only question is can we see the reveal
I think Matt should do it, Of course with a channel reveal. But he should get a huge packing box for like..... i dunno but get Eva's response when she opens up it up. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 you are trying to pimp his ride.
@@johnturpin4349 haha, I thought of that when he said about the wild paint job.
🤣😂🤣😂👍😉
Hello Matt. You changed the rear wheel axle seal on back wheel. You assembled it without grease on wheel bearings. I am referring to the big old truck with leaking axle seals.
Matt I'm watching this.8 months later still cheering for great work young man
I truly wish there was a "LOVE" button we could click on. "Like" just isn't a strong enough word. Matt, you and your channel are my #1 KZhead favorite. You always amaze me, and you never fail to make me laugh and smile. Your excitement is SO contagious! Please people, give this man a huge Thumbs Up, because he surely deserves it. I can't wait to see Eva's face when she receives her gift. LOL!!!!! I"ll bet that she's going to LOVE it!
Fun watching you learn about glow plugs. I was screaming almost but you got it!
@@billgardner9328 I am pretty sure those glow plugs are 12/24v DC. Most things that I have ever used them on have 30 seconds timers. On the many bobcats I have ran they have 30 second timers. When it was 20F or lower I would cycle it twice, while not really needed. Its seemed like it worked. Anything with glow plugs is worth doing.
I'm not a diesel mechanic by any stretch, my experience is with gasoline engines, but watching Matt revive several of his machines over the past couples years I've learned quite a bit on how to troubleshoot diesels, large and small. Don't own any, but if I do at some point in the future, I think I'll have a better understanding of how to work on them.
If you've had a cox models you know diesels
37:00……I think the gentleman who owned this until he passed away was whooping for joy, too.👍🚜
i appreciate your civil language. When people use the f-bomb two times a sentence it is refreshing to listen to a you-tuber that knows civility and does not use the f-bomb. Keep on keeping on. Thank you!
Fuckin eh bud!
😢
Matt, you really got another winner there. I love it. It is sad about all the mice that try to ruin things there, and at 14:38 we can even see a mouse run under the front tire on Christine. Darn little varmints. So be safe and keep up the great content.
Saw that too. Good eye
Mice don't try to ruin anything, they aren't smart like that. They cannot see straight ahead due to their eye placement so their response to anything they run into is to bite. And their teeth are very efficient.
Good eye my friend!
Good eye!
You have no key to open up pump
Hi Matt, I have that same Mitsubishi MT372 tractor, worth every penny, worth saving from scrap for sure!
That wheel loader video was the first one that got me hooked. Been watching ever since.
Your videos are popular and connect with people because you are authentic. Always enjoy.
And after finally making it to 37:04 I love your expressions of joy when things start. I feel it with you because I too have been defeated so many times trying to start things.
Something is up with the audio in this. there was a problem in the last vid as well where the audio was one sided
This was looking if someone said something, sounds like the mic is clipping
Small tractors like this are so cool 😎 hopefully you get more loaders on your channel in the future too. Also shout out to you for working in the snow/rain for us
Dude I saw the row of old lawn tractors. Make me think of going to my grandparents as a kid and messing around with his tractor.
I genuinely feel that you're turning into my favorite youtuber, because the wholesomeness you have and the genuine care you put in for all of your equipment and the people you care for in life
Diesel creek or DIRT PERFECT both great
@@johnrobichaud2776 don't leave letsdig18 out of what I consider my "trifecta" of KZheadrs :)
@@MikeT-TheRetiredColonel clearly we have differences with our favorites DP DC AND Andrew camarata are mine Chris is yours Ok
And the goofy childish grin cutting doughnuts on a little tractor lol
You can put it in granma and walk beside it! I had an old dump truck with that feature.
This looks like it could be the most handy piece of equipment for the future farm. I can't wait to see it cleaned up and the implements in action.
Would love to see an update on this little tractor with the new paint job and just how it's cleaned up in general. And also how your wife reacted to the gift, haha.
Beautiful farm This Lady Has That house is stunning what a view as well Matt 3:00 @Diesel Creek
Man there's nothing more I love than watching equipment being saved from the scrap heap and getting it running again
I just love this channel! Honestly, it is inconceivable to me how anyone could watch the content Matt provides and not hit the "Like" button... just look at the man's face when a laid up machine thunders to life for the first time in years! Now, show us how excited Ms. Eva gets when she sees her "new" tractor for the first time... Merry Christmas, Matt!
❤
Your "struggle" really paid off with this one. Creeper gear, hydraulic system and attachments to boot!
They were commonly used by farmers in Japan, for farming and working at cultivating and harvesting rice. They are small, but well built like the B600 Kubota that we commonly see in North America. Kubota tractors seemed to be more common around Narita, north of Tokyo, but there was a Mitsubishi dealer near where we stayed, and they sold equipment to compete with Kubota. There were other brands, but I own a Kubota 4x4, and a KH90, and only had eyes for Orange.
As usual, Matt took the time to make her all work, and will be great to keep it for the farm, with the attachments alone. Seeing his face lite up when he finally gets things running is priceless and watching him drive this all over the property and then doing donuts on the driveway, was again Priceless! If you don't drop any more videos before Christmas Matt, wishing you and Eva a very Happy and Merry Christmas! And the same to all here! Look forward to more videos and a new year of new projects in the new shop!
I swear you can start anything. Im always amazed to see you get something that hasn't seen life in years running again with so little repairs needed.
I’m jumping on this wagon, Matt’s “let’s throw this thing back together and see what happens” is like the diesel creek version of “hold my beer”. lol I would’ve had the whole thing in the parts soaker for a week and would still only have a 10% chance to get it running. Great job Matt Your intuition is on point.
Diesel's are so much better in that way. They can sit for YEARS and with just a little TLC, they just roar back to life.
Funny thing about this video is the first video I watched of Diesel Creek was when you started the Clark Michigan loader shown in this video. Watching your enthusiasm and persistence in starting these abandoned motorized machines is inspiring.
Thank you Matt.
Love your excitement when you get something started, no matter how small. Those little tractors were certainly bomb proof, they were designed to that you could do all the maintenance yourself. I always love it when you save something and then used for its designed purpose. With regards Eva's present, anything like my wife then don't be surprised if your not around to put anymore content out ! 😂🤣😂
Matt, your sense of humor and mechanical sensibility,...I can honestly say you're someone I could enjoy hanging around with. When you said your wife doesn't want a tractor, but you're gonna give her one anyway, that's exactly what I'd say about my own wife.
Not a car guy or handyman. Watching this is amazing. Thanks for sharing your talent's with us!
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that has projects or new finds that sit around for months or years before I get to them. Keep on keeping on Matt. Love the content no matter what it's on
Man i love old garden tractors. This is a heck of a find ! A shame there isn't still stuff like this on the market today, so useful around the house !
The closest things are like the deere 1 series or kubota bx1880s
Yep… The current Deere and Kubota subcompact diesels are the modern equivalent. The issue is they’re way more “refined” and therefore expensive compared to what these Mitsubishis used to sell for (inflation adjusted).
@@neonnoodle1169 TYM makes some very affordable light duty tractors.
This is not a "garden" tractor. It's a tractor period. This were made for small farms nothing "garden" about it. Americans can't get this right. LOL 😂 😂
I agree. If it is diesel, has a PTO and three point hitch it is a real compact tractor.
It's great to see an old little tractor running again. I'll bet each time you show up at the NAPA store the guys behind the counter are thinking, "what is Matt going to ask for today?" Dig out the old parts catalogs.😆
If he wasn't alone, he could just roll this stuff off at 5 times the revs he can possibly get out of the starter, and save the ether. Almost anything will start if you roll it to the red line. Actually, he can do it alone by hauling it up a mountain.
Matt has a 2 stroke diesel now and those take API CF-2 rated low sulfur oil to prevent coking problems. Strangely, the Wal Mart brand is CF-2 rated but the made for purpose oil is Delo 100, which your NAPA will probably have to order for you. Anyway, Rotella is wrong for 2 stroke. It also would not surprise me if air cooled diesels might want a higher temperature formulation than water cooled diesels, the same way air cooled 2 stroke gas does not take the TC-W3 made for water cooled boat 2 strokes. Probably same for air cooled gas lawnmowers.
That is EXACTLY what they have to do all the time when I’m there lol
Has anyone else noticed the line of old lawn tractors he has lined up as he was dragging the Mitsubishi Tractor to work on it. ? Geez I want a property this massive to have a bunch of man toys has Matt does. 😁😁
What a gem Old girl just started right up first try after New oil and Freeing the alternator nice Matt ehat a sweetheart 47:05 @Diesel Creek
I love how he builds his dream shop with some outdoor coverage, but still gets down out in the weather next to a conex. That's a man that loves his work!
I was thinking why didn't you drag it into the shop and at least be out of the rain. Then I realized I would have done it closer to the tools than rain coverage also
It's more likely to avoid damage to the concrete. The little apron, he's not really concerned about. But putting equipment on green concrete is a recipe for cracks. You generally want to keep it clear for 2 weeks minimum. Sure, it's a baby tractor in comparison to some of his other equipment, but better safe than sorry.
Your story about giving your wife the tractor reminds me of a real life gift exchange our friend had with his wife. Their birthdays were close together. He wanted this special shotgun, so he bought it for his wife for her birthday. She bought him a dress (that she wanted) for his birthday. And they had a gift exchange. So, when your birthday rolls around, don't be surprised.
This was a terrific video! The persistence, the logic, the cleverness of your approach, item by item.. Great learning episode!
I love a nice hour long video. Gives you the full in detail view. Keep up the good work!!!!!
This episode just feels like nostalgia You have your old truck, skid steer, and got that tractor from the location that made your channel blow up I know there's a time skip but it feels really good to see all these again
Really was expecting a bigger dance when it started . Good job. Luv ur videos.
Matt, I rarely say much, just know I love watching you do what you do. This was a lot of fun watching you get that tractor running...I look forward to many more
It is great that you can keep the older machines going. Great video
You know she's a keeper when she has the ole Diesel Creek belt squeal 😅
Hi Matt and family from Australia. My husband is a truck driver and your channel is one of the first he checks when he is home. We love the content and have fun with your repair videos. We also love Matt's enthusiasm when he gets something to start. Keep up the good work. God's blessing to you all and hope you have a healthy, happy and successful 2023. We will continue to watch and enjoy. Diane and Denis
Well done Matt. I rebuilt an identical tractor in Papua New Guinea some years back. It was badged as a Ford 2000 ( I think) and the engine (also identical to yours) was made by Shibaura, out of Japan. A full rebuild from nose to tail, saw it mowing grass happily for many years after. Good memories!.
Need to get a new key as well. Drain plug put in during the Summer and winter / fall makes them short and fat. Heat makes them longer and skinny. If you tighten in the winter - recheck summer as they might leak.
If Eva doesn't want a tractor, I am sure she will appreciate the effort. That was fun Matt and a great little tractor.
True, but if she doesn't want it now, Matt should park and cover it. Sometimes when we know something is around we subconsciously start looking for uses for it. BTDT.
I have that exact little tractor. Glow plugs are a must lol. I was screaming in my head GLOW PLUGS, it'll start, ha ha. I found an old loader, and made it fit. Wasn't easy, but it was a fun project. That little hydraulic pump, on the right side of the engine, is enough to operate it well. Great little tractor. Great video. Thanks.
I was going to say it was good to see you driving the blue 6.0 again but I had a feeling it was old footage confirmed by the "20 months later". I continue to hope for a walkaround of your sweet new red Super Duty.
I e been wondering did he buy a new truck.
Same I've been asking about the new truck on every video lol
Yeah
Yep I think we've all noticed 😂
Notice at the end when he was test driving, old blue was by the new shop. IIRC, he let slip it had a turbo failure when he was headed to Ohio
After that bad boy fired up it didn't want to stop 🔧👍
I know the oil its self probably wasnt scalding hot, Matt referring to the socket and plug and not the oil... but 41:15 reminded me of the CAT video "shaking hands with danger" when the guys gets the burn from changing the hot oil, lol
anyone else see the mouse looking for its home @ 14:38 😂
Was just looking through the comments to see if anyone saw that
Same
Matt, the smile on your face when you got this one to "Bust Off" is just priceless ! Thanks for another great video.
It's always a rewarding moment when that scrapped bound tractor fires for the first time! Fun video Matt! 👍😁
i admire your persistence!
By now this channel is part of my daily routine. Get up, brew a coffee, watch some Diesel Creek! Honestly I love it so much when old iron gets a second chance...
Kudos for going back and cleaning up the lawn damage. I was taught always leave a place as good as or better than you found it. Sweet find. Great video and I’d wait until you have heat in the workshop before giving Eva the tractor. Just in case…
Thank you for sharing your efforts to rescue this little tractor. I enjoyed it. It´s worth the effort. I own a similar tractor, a kubota B7001 4wd in very good condition with front loader and rear excavator - a very strong and useful thing an a huge fun to drive. My experience: For cold starting the little 3 Zylinder Diesel engine the glowplugs are ALWAYS!!! needed. Glowing appox. 20-30 seconds and it will start immediately in any weather conditions. I think your wife will love it as my wife loves our in the garage living family member. 😊
I wish I had this talent. Looks like a blast banging away on old steel.
I love seeing these old things being revived. Great work.
The look of sheer delight on your face whenever something finally starts is always a joy to see. And I love your thorough and explained processes of working through the problem. I was a turret mechanic in the late '80s/early '90s. Vehicles weren't my specialty, but using what I know and what I've learned watching your videos makes me pretty confident that come the apocalypse, I have a good chance of getting anything my party of survivors stumbles across to start & run.
What a great little tractor
What an amazing find! Great job cranking her up!
Really glad to see this thing run and be in such good condition! Don't know if she'll appreciate it like us but, hope you hang on to it. Waiting for more on Dreamshop!
I haven't cheered this hard for an engine start since Mustie1 got that Daihatsu mini-truck to go. Well done, Matt!
Best perseverance and funny rescue mission Yet! Well done, longing for more rescues!
We are totally jealous! That is an awesome little tractor such a great find. Your videos are great, keep them going.
Matt's got my kind of humor: pranking his wife with a random tractor 🤣🤣 Great video as always 👍
Shhhh!
@@essexfarmer9610 she don’t watch these he’s said that
What a pretty gem! Definitely a keeper! She is deserving a nice new paint job!
Excellent find and excellent resurrection as well!
Another great one. that was like a Hollywood movie, I was on the edge of my seat.
The amount of happiness radiating from you while cutting donuts with the tractor brakes was astounding hahaha I found myself smiling like a jackass ‘n 😂
Cool pick Matt! When I saw the fuel spurting and the sparks from the starter flying around,I thought you might wind up with an EXternal combustion engine. Also - these revivals would be way easier if you had one of those starter jumper switches for jumping the solenoid - just a suggestion based on 40 years of engine work. EDIT: and Eva just showed up with one!!
External combustion engines add a lot of excitement and make good video content but don't do much for the tractor 😃 If it was gasoline instead of diesel I'd be willing to bet that's exactly what he would've had
Pretty cool Lil tractor thanks for taking us on the journey 😊
Love this vid my dad loved working on equipment any time of yr and as a kid i tried to soak up all the knowledge
Fun video , Mat , looking forward to seeing the attachments run as well. Looks like another great tool . Nice.
I have to say, I watch a lot of videos on KZhead but I don’t wait in anticipation as much as I do for yours. It’s how you film, how you choose the content. I really like everything you do but also how you do it.. Great job in general!!!
Very nice all the gears work in the transmission and low range as well fast little tractor Matt 50:06 thanks for sharing and the entertainment wad a sweet old girl And to funny spinning in circles 😂 50:40 @Diesel Creek
Matt, enjoyed this video a lot. I was just as excited as you when that engine fired off. Always enjoy and look forward to your videos.
