Without the charging light as said it won't charge 😢
Popped in last week when I was home from Boston Phil, you were out fertilizing but Bro opened the shop and I got my merch. Poked me head in to look at the red 1200, where are you with the cylinders on her?
Well done Phil, won't be long, you'll be able to take over the spanner jobs from father Phil. You had a good teacher. 😊
Good work . You could wire a flashing beacon to the ignition directly too to remind you the key is left on . It’s saved me a couple of times too 😅
Well done, you are getting along well with the wrenching on your own :) How fun would it be if the 1200 was out of the shed running when Father Phil gets back from his driving holiday ;)
Did I hear you say you don't need the heater plug?!😊
It takes a bit too long to start whether it's fuel filters or timing, have a 165 and even in cold will start quicker 👍
Great job, Making progress as mechanic! What about the combine with the broken auger?
It’s not charging without the light. That starter won’t last long with out a can of easy start.
Nice work, Phil. Do you have a multimeter? They are very handy and not very expensive. I use Fluke, but they cost more. There are many different makes, from cheap to expensive, but they are very handy.
Good old Massey can’t be beaten…..great job ❤
You are some guy Phil 👍👏👏💪
Well done Phil your videos are most enjoyable.
Good job Phil Yes the bloke is correct Re the Multimeter a 10 quid one will do for farm stuff And fix the Heater plug as those engines ,not sure what’s in is it a 212 or 236 All need a bit of heat to get them going,also a bit late is if you fitted a high speed starter,it makes a phenomenal difference,connaty. Should have them I got one for a perky from Clifford’s in Killorglen Kerry for a Perkins 1004 sent to Western Australia It was always a pig to start, ,made some difference on the button near 10 later Nothing worse than a hard starter,nearly as bad a wife that can’t cook 😁😁🇮🇪🍀☘️🇦🇺🚜🚜🚜🚜🐑🦘🦘😇
Great video was thinking it would be a lovely video if father Phil could take little clips of the run as he goes along but that’s only if he wasn’t he might just like to get away for a good break on his trusty old 20
Great video Phil. Well done. Hopefully father Phil got on well with the tractor run. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
Class job.
Any update on your house construction project.
Dad has one at home dose not matter how long it sits it always starts
