    I’ve been waiting for this episode for so long. I was worried that “Old Kirovets” was just going to become a lawn ornament.
  • 3hrs of entertainment? Awesome🎉19h47 here in South Africa Johannesburg. It's like a long good bedtime story👌🏼
  • The gunk in that centrifugal filter :O I think you're giving this tractor the first real service it has ever had.

    Thanx Ants, maybe you should try to restore it in stages. Start with the brakes... then the hoses and fittings, change the tyre around, try to get the gear linkages sorted, trace the hydraulic routes and colour code with tape on each line and functional purpose, make the cab safer and fabricate a good solution, replace the rusted frame, get your wiring sorted and ensure good earth (ground) connection. It will make for great YouTube content and your channel will grow steadily. You are much better than Andrew Camarata and Diesel Creek, both those guys don't help anyone. People just watch them building their own dreams whilst they get richer. You, on the other hand are there for your family and are securing your property and maintaining everything. Your work ethic is fantastic and you deserve the best. I am with you all the way brother. From Durban, South Africa...

    Holy CRAP! 3 hours video from Ants Pants! At least this guy delivers on his promises unlike much bigger similar channels (Diesel Creek). Thank you so much for this Andris!

  • Tous les vendredi soir je découvre une vidéo et je regarde sa durée. Là je me suis dit que j'allais aller au lit et regarder la fin demain matin au café mais j'ai pas pu j'ai aimé les 3 heures de mécanique et voir ce vieux tracteur soviétique rouler m'a fait hyper plaisir ... Ne change rien c'est génial.
