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!

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!

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.

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

Nice welding job. Stronger than the factory.

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!!

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

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

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

Knowledge, skills, experience = priceless!

Dude, you have skills! This world is messed up that your talents don't make you bank.

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!! 🤣🤣🤣💀

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

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!

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

Hell yea one of my favorite YouTube channels, Love when you post a vid!! Man I need a tractor with a FEL so bad!! I think you got a GREAT deal on it!! You could easily triple your money! Keep up the good work brother!

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