I remember posting something else this guy fixed up, I'm certain it was a very cool tractor, but it's been a while. He is very good, and does not talk during the videos he makes.
Harking back to my childhood as a budding car nerd, for a couple of years I went to a school in a neighboring town, along with a friend who lived nearby, and our parents took turns driving us to and fro. The friend's mother drove a 1953 Plymouth, and it had a flat tire, and I was all full of myself, at age 11 or so, knowing how to operate the jack and change the tire and all that stuff. Except, of course, that this was a left hand tire, and having learned on a Ford and a Chevy, I couldn't get the blinking lug nuts off, and she had to call someone! It was an embarrassment but a lesson never to be forgotten.
