This1945 Allis Chalmers model B has been parked in a barn for years, the owner no longer uses it so he asked me to take it away.
I have many channels in my feed but when Marty uploads is the only time I’m truly happy I have KZhead.
Literally when Marty uploads, it's the only time I press on it straight away. The others get cleared till later 😂
Hear hear!!
😂 well said sir
Same here.. It's a shame that at this point 9000 views with only 2.5 likes helps him so much.
Me too👍👍
Little does that Allis know it has just hit the tractor lottery and now will live a life of luxury.
And a bunch of relatives!
I said that about my tractor after I brought it home. If you'd have seen the place I bought it from, you'd understand. Nice people but looked like extras from the movie The Hills Have Eyes. Tractor was outside in a junk infested unkempt, weed filled back yard next to a swimming pool that looked like you could fish in it and catch trout.
What did your wife say about not bringing home anymore tractors.
@@nicholasproietto2500"im gonna take you away from these bad people little tractor"
@@nicholasproietto2500 At least they were nice people...
Marty, "will it start?" Is always a rhetorical question with you 😂 Great video as always!
Lol I thought the same thing to myself when I read the title
This man can start up a submarine sunk 😂
Engine missing... he drives it home 😆
Marty always makes it look simple. He's the definitive troubleshooter and a most enjoyable youtuber.
Hes just doin things heaps practical, love it ^^
I like the authenticity of these "will it start" videos. Nothing is done for the sole purpose of views.
Spoiler: For Marty, they always start. The question is rhetorical.
What do you mean in dummies English ?
How authentica can it be when he has never failed to start / fix something. Wouldn't be surprised to see him find a spare tyre, spark plug and a fan belt in a paddock, start it, drive it home and grade his drive way.
I love the absence of fake drama, too
What a perfect way to sit with a coffee on a Monday morning, thanks for the video marty, constant inspiration to enjoy life
I can just imagine the sigh MrsT makes when she sees Marty leaving w/ the trailer hooked up. LOL You are the Tractor Whisperer!
😂
Yes, we need an audio of Mrs T as Marty drives through the gate. I reckon it'll be something along the lines of "Oh for ........ not another one" 😂
@@MartyT can we get her reactions/thoughts of your ventures?
I will never get bored of watching you fix something, and then drive it on to your trailer, which you fixed.
Could watch your videos all day every day mate.
the content we all come here for
Another very lucky tractor saved by Marty from a lonely retirement destined to rust away neglected with only memories of its once proud owner feeding it clean fuel and fresh oil.
My Grandpa died before I was born, he bought an allis B brand new in 1938.. Its the only thing of his that I have... Ive got the original bill of sale with it.. My goal is to restore it! Thanks Marty!
I appreciate the simplicity of older engines.
Marty, it is amazing the "touch" you have with these old machines. Eighty years old and you brought it back to life. Good video.
It always amazes me how longer lasting older technology is epic video Marty
You are amazing! I really enjoying you bringing back old and forgotten machines.
Just Love this guy, so down to earth in every way. Wonderful to watch.
I am always amazed when you take a machine that's not been run in 20 years or so and bring it back to life.
The rooster crowing had me in tears, I really miss farming.... Blessings from Chattanooga Tennessee
You had that old tractor purring like a happy kitten
I would love to see that beauty restored and taken to vintage field days .cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Marty, you're a magician! As always, another satisfying video from you...
Finally got time to sit down and watch this one 😊
What a great find. This old girl should be restored to her loving best to celebrate a long working life. History needs to be preserved and if this old girl could talk what a story she could tell.
That would be great. The new generation...
I agree, what a great series of Marty Vids that would be.
I suspect someone already has the perfect museum piece. Setting it up to reliably get its hands dirty would seem like an honest tribute to me. As a lad, dad brought home one about a decade newer, it had the adjustable front end and distributor/alternator. I want to say someone made a 3-point conversion, you may be able to find enough info to scrounge one together.
As always an enjoyable video. Marty is at the top of my list of favorites because of his skill and calm demeanor.
Marty's magic never fails, I actually thought that this one might be more of a challenge than others, but once again he proved me wrong !
Another old tractor saved . And of course it starts right up . Marty you are the man . I was just fixed to go to bed when video came . Of course had to watch. Great video.
Marty. I tried your Diesel/oil mix on my 53 Farmall cub today. The old dog looks like a shiny new penny now. Thanks for the tip. Keep getting those old tractors running and save them from the scrap heap. Yours is my favorite KZhead channel.
I think we had one of those when I was about 10 years old, so around 1970. I thought it had the steering column canted to one side, but I must have remembered that wrongly. It must have been a Model B as it was tiny. We called it "Chuffy" because of its characteristic exhaust sound. A handy little tractor for a small farm. Another great video, thanks Marty!
No cuss, no fuss, just straight up fixin'. Such a great guy. Thank you for sharing with us. Those belt making materials don't grow on trees. Cherish them. lol Great little tractor and the saw setup is right up your alley. Have fun with it.
what a beaut as a patina survivor tractor, well done Marty
Another resurrection by the Patron Saint of old machines! Can't wait to see the wood saw in action.
That sound reminds me of my Mother and Father, sweet and happy
Can you imagine in the year 2104 a 2024 tractor being able to be brought back to life as simply as that...? Nice save Marty! Cheers from Tokyo!
No I can't, but I'll wager tractors from the 1920s through the 1970s will still be putting along. I have a cub of that vintage and while it sits for months, pull the choke with ignition off and crank slowly twice, switch on the ignition and it almost always starts on the first crank.
Simple mechanics combined with ascetics makes this very photogenic: guaranteed to make anyone smile😀
Always love watching someone bring new life to an old machine, also love bringing an old machine back to life myself.
What a cute tractor! Tractors are tractors, but there's something about the proportions of this one that make it very photogenic.
Little Marty, "did you tell mom you bought another tractor?" :) love the videos!!!
I thought like with that hand crank this thing will never start, you're a magician!
I like those types of tractors. The Farmall is another. No electronics, no computers....just hard working machines and EASY to work on. 👍🔧
The carb takedown always evokes anxiety. 😮😂
Bloody things. Done hundreds of them. It's like brain surgery. Careful where you point that air. Or it's "Wheee - see ya later"
Marty on the big stuff, James Condon on the small engines, YT heaven
i find your videos fascinating, bringing these old mechanical beasts back to life.
I love Allis-Chalmers Tractors. Can't wait! D15/D17
Honey, I got you a present! ... "It's not another 70 year old tractor is it?" ... Well, you know how you're always cold in the winter? "Yeah?" .... So, TECHNICALLY, it is a tractor... BUT it can also be used as a sawmill to make fire wood to warm you up ... "🙄"
Mind your fingers with that lacing (Alligator clips on the belting), them points gash the ends of your fingers and thumbs for fun! Another worthwhile save Marty, well done.
What a beautiful machine. You look properly at home driving that, it suits you!
The history of the Allis B in the UK is interesting. 1000's were imported from the USA early in WWII. My uncle bought one in 1940 for 100 pounds brand new. For many UK farmers it was the first time they had anything other than a horse.The UK models were usually Petrol to start converting to TVO when the engine warmed up. Uncle's never had electric start fitted because it crank started so easily. (I noted your 2nd and 3rd starts. Allis also produced a small (5' cut!) trailer combine(Allis C) which had a more powerful engine. We cannibalised one of those for the tractor and a good machine suddenly became very good. Uncle sold the B in 1977 for 50 pounds to a young neighbour who still uses it, particularly on soft ground in winter because it doesn't tear the ground up (so light) . I have never seen the sawmill before but they came with a range of mid-mounted equipment. Definitely a blast from the past, which I spent hundreds of hours piloting. Good memories.
The old just wanted to get back into the fields and do some work! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Great job Marty !! It's amazing how the vintage machines stand up to time !!!
80 years old, has not run in 20 years, then Marty does his magic and just for a big finish he HAND cranks the beast to life! I am impressed.
Marty is a magician. This tractor works a treat!
Fantastic stuff. I love how you reuse these old tractors instead of letting them rust away and be dumped. I would kill for an old girl like this in my yard!
Evening mate, this upload brings back memories! My father bought an old Aliss way back in the seventies, he was in the waste reclamation industry and stuff like this came along from time to time. The one he had might’ve been earlier than the one here, it had to be swung as I remember and it kicked like a bugger! He bought it home on a low loader and started it after putting some petrol in it, ( it started on petrol but ran on TVO-tractor vaporising oil)in just a few swings! He proceeded to drive it around the lawn, tearing it up in chunks! My mother was not thrilled but he was laughing like a kid and popping wheelies it had so much torque! I later understood that this propensity for early tractors to rear up on the back wheels killed more than a few operators and hastened the development of the three point linkage. He put it in a barn and was intent on restoring it but , like most men in his industry, when a profit came along he took it and bought something else!🤣 It was fun to watch but not particularly safe! Take a note mate, they can flip over with devastating consequences.
The same thing can happen with some 60s tractors if you put something too heavy onto the three point hitch. I helped clean up the aftermath of an accident like that just a few years ago, thankfully with barely any consequences. The threaded rod on the linkage broke and the driver was pretty shaken because he had no longer been able to steer. He did brake fairly quickly but not quite fast enough.
Some hard lessons were learned back in the early days, sadly too hard for some. The manufacturers of equipment developed much safer systems so those hardworking people’ terrible sacrifices weren’t in vain. Modern agricultural machinery is much safer and operator friendly. It’s a pity we don’t learn and evolve as quickly in other facets of our existence.
Excellent video mate. That saw sure is handy. I could stand there all day cutting firewood. Thanks mate.
Three years ago my wife and I bought 2 acres with lakefront and I would really love to find a machine like this to restore vs. buying new. Watching your videos for a long time makes me think I could actually make it work!
As an expatriate Wairarapian I appreciate the backdrop and can do attitude. Another very entertaining video. Keeps me in touch with my heritage.
That looks like a Fairbanks Morse magneto. If it is you can depend on it for another 60 years! Great job of getting that old girl running and moving. Thanks, Marty.
I love it when they come back to life and just smile :D
Another great rescue. Enjoy
Marty's a badass, can crank start an 80 year old tractor and not even lose his sunglasses off his forhead!
Marty, you are the most patient guy I've ever watched on KZhead. Thank you for another entertaining video, Mate!!😊😊😊
Now whaere are those spiders going to live? Another impressive rescue, thanks. You're a national treasure, and I can't wait until they open a museum for you and your projects.
my grandfather taught me to crank the engine by hand, only hold the crank with your left had, and pull up, holding your left wrist with your right hand for more power, because if the engine backfires, you will take the blow on an open hand rather than the back of your right hand and break bones. Wonderful as usual, you are amazing at bring old equipment back to life. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see another one brought back to life! Well done Marty
"It's mine! My own, my precious." 😂😂 ITS REAL"TREASURE"
Always enjoy whatever you are showing. Thanks.
This gives me flashbacks! My dad had an Allis Chalmers A Model when I was small. Super tractor for a small garden!
Thank you Marty i enjoy your videos
Eighty-year-old shakes off a 20 yearlong nap and is super keen to get back to work :)
Such a beaut! Looking forward to the next one seeing that saw mill hooked up to the PTO. Cheers for the awesome content Marty!🎉
That is a lovely sounding tractor Marty. Thank you for bringing it to life and hopefully it gets to be "useful" again. What a nice machine you found!
Beautiful. I worked on some of those old Allis Chalmers tractors. They were very reliable and quite useful. When I worked for the US Postal Service, we used quite a few of those laced belts. There is a machine that allows you to perfectly cut the belt and crimp in the lacing, but if you are careful, you can cut square ends and drive the lacing into the ends with a hammer. Use a rod through the laces to keep them from collapsing when you install them.
I knew you would not leave without this fix. The step by step process you go through on all these large repair jobs is the same which helps any of us that might want to take on a project of this magnitude. Fuel, spark, carb, oil, wheels/tires, fluid levels, etc. And if all works, move forward with a more formal restoration. I think you should consider writing a book on basic restoration repairs. I know I'd buy a copy. As usual, great job!
Marty’s touch brings them to life. You are a magician!
Cheers Marty - great to hear the little Allis burst into life. I gather that these tractors were designed to be used in the remote parts of the US and so had to be simple and able to be repaired by farmhands since garages were few and far between.
Marty you the man! great job! Love the revival!
What a nice find that was Marty,and the roosters in the background added a nice touch to the video.
Monday morning, Caffeine, and Marty. Awesome start to the week! Thanks M8. Take care & stay safe.
Not a question of "will it start?" to " WHEN will it start? " Good stuff when Marty comes around. Beautiful machine happy days!
A few months ago I got a Ferguson tea 20 which have been sitting in a barn for 32 years. Yesterday I got it running, tomorrow I will hopefully be driving it home 😂 Thanks for the video 🤘
I learned to drive on one of those back in the early seventies. Sweet memories!
Even though were worlds apart, (I'm in the US), I sure enjoy your video's. 👍
It’s not for me Darling, it’s so the kids have something to drive to school 🤠 You made that look easy. That or you are just lucky, well done!
Those leather belt connectors are called alligator belt lacings ,I used to used them in my apprenticeship days in the 1960 s, all the lathes and other machinery were belt driven.
Great video, Marty- love your calm, rational process to a diagnosis. This kind of revival is inspiring. Really hope you film the clean up, lube, and spray down with diesel and oil, as well as hooking up the saw blades. Great job!
Pretty soon you'll be the go-to man for anyone who needs an old part for their machine! Another good one my friend. 👍
Yeh, what's one more tractor? Good one, Marty; it made my morning.
Remarkable. It seems there's nothing you can't fix !!!!
Brings back great memories of the 1950s learning how to drive grandads little tractor. Remember sitting next to him as he showed all the how to's. And hand cranking it and backfiring and nearly hitting my jaw. Did a good bit of mowing pulling an old cycle mower behind. Thanks Marty.
Drove a slitley newer version on our farm in the 1950s, mowing, tedding and hay bale loading. Never had any problem with flipping backwards. Great basic tractor.
your face lit up like a boy when it nearly started....you knew marty just knows everytime 👊
Absolutely love it! I have come to believe that Marty can resurrect anything mechanical. What a combination artist, surgeon and wizard!
Great find!! Those old tractors are quite handy. It's amazing how much work they are capable of. My grandfather used a Farmall Cub to farm 40 acres. Had a one bottom plow, small disk, two-gang harrow, one row planter, sickle bar mower and a front dozer blade.
Marty, The old simple machines never sease to amaze me at how welll they continue to work for soooo many years! The simpler the better and you know how to nurse them back to life! I’m sure they appreciate another run! Thanks for the great video. Looking forward to the next one, but please be very careful!
Awesome, another old girl saved! The little "AH!" face when she popped for the first time 😁
you really should open up a little tractor museum with all the old and special tractors you own :-D
Just an AWESOME video example of Mr.T's skill's here in Internetland. Possibly the question may be , "what can't Mr.T fix/get running?" lol . Wonderful video of him teaching us about the many different machines he's repaired, giving them 2nd or 3rd chances of working life again. Thank you Mr.T, a joy to watch and learn here in Maine.
Marty , you have the gift when it comes to machines . I love watching you bring them back to life . Nice sounding tractor , and a saw too .
I couldn't help giggling as you drove it off home...like you need another tractor aye 😂
