I bought the CHEAPEST diesel tractor on marketplace! Its BROKEN in half!

I picked up this tractor and hopefully it will come in handy around the cabin.

To everyone who has watched these videos, from all of us at 99 Projects, including Max, THANK YOU!

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!

after 40 years as a diesel tech, it's nice to sit back and watch somebody else do the dirty work.

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!!

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.

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!

[MarciaMason]

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.

[allenlaakso]

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!

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

[KPPAH]

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

[DP-wihm]

My vote is, keep it. That was a great deal. Tough to replace with something comparable, for that money. Youl will be using it all the time.

Great job welding, as a former heavy duty mechanic your frame weld will fail in the future. Look up fish plate for frame. Basically you need angle on your plate to prevent cracking in the frame

[RobertStricklandinKorea]

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

[laruedouglas]

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

[ChristineCooper-zmwn]

I really enjoy how you get stuck in and work hard at mending the tractor. Good one😊

[mdtippett]

For $2600 you got a steal. Working on tractors is one of the most enjoyable tasks of my job. But Concrete Kyle is right—blue or green, and avoid orange.

Honestly one of the best compact tractor videos I’ve seen and I’ve watched probably close to a 1000. I’ve owned multiple sub compact and compact tractors over the past 4 years (buy for cheap sell for more) and I have researched tractors to death.

This Is it the content I want when I’m researching a particular tractor. I’ve come across a few amazing deals with damage similar to this and shy away lacking the confidence to tackle them. Gives me more motivation for sure! Cheers!

[davecleggett]

You said it! "I have the capabilities to fix it." And fix it you did. For $2600 you've got a great workhorse, why sell it? Thanks for sharing buddy!

[GimpyJohn]

I found you in the YouTube worm hole, and I'm watching all the cabin videos. I don't know why, but I can't get enough! Great job!
