I spent two weeks getting this inherited Massey Ferguson running in order to dig up the front garden I have (also herited) in order to plant roses for my late mother’s memory.

Yeah … hard agree. Getting an old rusted piece of equipment working again and then have it function to do a job you needed to do is about the furthest from dull you could get.
As a post, sure, I agree. But the process was extremely dull.
Ok yeah I can see that. Working on machinery is romanticized in pop culture but its a lot of screwing and unscrewing shit in hard to reach areas and taking forever because you only have a quarter inch you can articulate the fucking wrench in and the thread is three inches long for some fucking reason.
Really? I just read a a bit about your process and I’d watch an entire YouTube video of the whole process.
But I’m a sucker for fixing things. It’s one of the things I get the most joy from in life.
you probably already know about the channel, but just in case:
inheritance machining does exactly this sort of thing ;)
