It is so pleasant to watch your videos. Very informative and not obnoxious. Keep it up!

Spent a lot of seat time on our WD45 just a great old tractor

It's hard to believe the engine ran at all with the carb inlet taped shut! It sure runs good now, great job!

[@fordguy728]

Sounds good! You’re making quick work of it. You’re videos make me motivated to work on some of my mine and my grandpas old tractors.

Just finishing this initial 5 part series, picking up a WD45 tomorrow, and these are the absolute best videos on CZcams.
Great quality, audio, well framed, etc. Thank you very much!

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thank you very much! I hope some of it can be of help. Good luck with the WD45!

[@sparksfireandbalingwire8467]

Tractor sounds great! Hopefully the compression will even out more with more run time. I don't think it's that bad as is though.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Ok, thank you!

[@aaronlegan892]

I love your videos but could you tell me what type of oil you used for your oil change?

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thanks! I believe it was 10-30 in that one.
