If you do ever have to bag up asbestos like that, it should be wetted down to minimize the particles getting into the air. And even being outside, since this was so dry and brittle, a mask isn't a bad idea either.
Lovely video. My dad has an International 474 which is maybe 10 years younger than this one. Dad is a retired farmer and has dementia, he can't walk unaided anymore, but I helped him get it running a couple of weeks ago after the winter, just needed a new battery. They really are little warriors, they never break. The look on dad's face when it fired up again, sheer glee. It was gifted to dad 20 years ago in the will of a friend of his. The friend was also a retired framer, older than dad, but he had been a WW2 fighter pilot (a group captain none-the-less) and had a farm in Africa after the war. When he moved back to the UK he bought this tractor for his UK farm and then left it to dad when he died. Dad used to rent extra fields from him for sheep and they got to know each other that way. When he was in his last couple of years I would go round to see him as a teenager and show him how to use a computer to write letters and things and he'd tell me stories from the war. Amazing how an old tractor can link you to people and events.
I’ll never know what happened as the insane amount of adverts completely spoilt the point. I get it. You need ad revenue- but keep them short please!!!!!
