FunTranscript
00:00But look, it's just proven that you've lost a little bit of weight.
00:06What do you mean by that?
00:07Well, you can get in and there's still space underneath the wheel there.
00:11I'm going to pass no comment on that whatsoever.
00:13That's a compliment.
00:14That's going to just fly over me.
00:16It's a compliment.
00:17OK, all right.
00:19Anyway, you're looking very cool there.
00:23I'm Henry Cole.
00:24That is comfy.
00:26And along with fellow fanatic Fuzz Townsend...
00:29That's a magnificent pair of choppers up there.
00:31We're back on the hunt for vintage treasures in the nation's sheds.
00:36Look at this.
00:37We're going to buy them, fix them...
00:39That is fantastic.
00:41...and sell them for a tidy profit.
00:44Welcome to Shed and Buried.
00:50We're on our way to Toaster in Northamptonshire.
00:53So, look, we're going to go and see John, is that right?
00:59Yeah, that's right.
01:00Now, John...
01:01Yeah.
01:02...he's into his agricultural stuff.
01:03Oh, is he?
01:04He's a farmer.
01:05Oh, OK.
01:06Yeah.
01:07What, so he's got tractuares?
01:08Yeah.
01:09That was the first word, by the way, I ever said.
01:12Tractuares.
01:13Yeah.
01:14So, he's got tractuares and implements?
01:16Yes.
01:17Got all of those things.
01:18That's interesting.
01:19Your first word was tractuares.
01:21Yeah.
01:22My first word was bus.
01:23You jumped it, really?
01:24Yeah, it was, literally.
01:25No.
01:26Is it?
01:27Yeah, it was.
01:30Whether we come back with a tractuares, a busuares, or some other you are, who knows?
01:35But Toaster, here we come.
01:37So, tell me.
01:38So, you've got the farm here, but we are surrounded by rather bucolic and lovely machinery.
01:47Mmm.
01:48Just stuff I like.
01:49Nothing particular, just odds and things.
01:52OK.
01:53I love it.
01:54So, has this been the family farm for a long time?
01:56Oh, yes.
01:57Five or six generations.
01:58Wow.
01:59Really, really?
02:00Yeah.
02:01So, you've got a big, eclective mix of stuff here.
02:02Is it all for sale?
02:03Yes.
02:04Most of it.
02:05Yeah?
02:06All right.
02:07So, look.
02:08John, what we'll do is we'll have a little rummage about.
02:09Yeah?
02:10Yep.
02:11OK.
02:12Well, quite a big rummage about, I hope.
02:13Yeah?
02:14And then, at the end of it, hopefully we might be able to have a haggle.
02:15But I might get you in just to give us some more details on some stuff.
02:18You know what I mean?
02:19Well, crack on, then.
02:20Brilliant.
02:21Well done, mate.
02:22Here, look.
02:23Congratulations.
02:24Cheers, guys.
02:25What a lovely cup of tea it is.
02:26Yeah, thank you for having us down here.
02:27Thanks, John.
02:28Right, we're starting that way.
02:29Come on.
02:30OK.
02:31Where do you want to start, then?
02:32Well, let's start with an Alice Chalmers, shall we?
02:34OK.
02:35Now, I do like this.
02:37They always remind me of a pig.
02:40What?
02:41It's the snout, I think.
02:43That's what does it.
02:47Founded in 1901, Alice Chalmers was an American company which built agricultural and construction
02:53vehicles.
02:54In the UK, they were mainly known for their light tractors, though their crawlers were popular
02:59too.
03:00Do you know what?
03:01I have to tell you, in all these years, we've never taken a proper sized crawler.
03:06You see, this is nice though, isn't it?
03:07I like this.
03:08Then Fuzz spots something.
03:10What is that?
03:12This is a bus.
03:16Can I just change one word in that sentence?
03:20Yeah.
03:21Is to was.
03:22It was a bus.
03:23OK.
03:24Now it's just a bit of twisted metal.
03:26Look, it's still got springs on the front.
03:28It's still got a steering column, handbrake.
03:31I mean, wow, that is amazing.
03:35It's just twisted metal, forget it.
03:37Honestly, I can see that it was once a bus.
03:40OK.
03:41But this once and always has been a crawler.
03:44That's great.
03:45Now this.
03:46And it is a crawler.
03:47A potential acquisition.
03:52Before Fuzz discovers another squash bus.
03:55Time to move on.
03:58Now then.
03:59What do you reckon, baby?
04:01So what is, what do we mean?
04:03OK.
04:04So, what this is.
04:05Yeah.
04:06Is a, well, it's a finger bar mower.
04:07OK.
04:08So, simple as that.
04:09Well, yeah, that flattens down.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Offset.
04:13So if you're cutting hay or whatever, you're trundling along, but you're not wrecking the hay
04:17because you're cutting the row that's next to you, if you see what I mean.
04:20Got you.
04:21Yes.
04:22OK.
04:23So, yeah.
04:24And you sit up on here.
04:25Oh, Albion.
04:26How beautiful is that?
04:27It is very lovely.
04:28As a piece of old implementation, if you see what I mean.
04:31It's just lovely.
04:32It is beautiful.
04:33There's so much more.
04:34Come on.
04:35OK.
04:36Let's go.
04:37Well, let's start off with a bit of blue, eh?
04:42No, with this.
04:43With this?
04:44Yeah.
04:45OK.
04:46That's a Ford 4000.
04:47Yeah.
04:48Which looks as though it's certainly done some work in its life and still does.
04:53What is that?
04:54Well, if I'm not very much mistaken, this is a Ford Model T.
05:01Released in 1908, the Model T was the world's first mass production car.
05:07Over 15 million were built, but few looked like this.
05:12John, this is one crazy thing.
05:15So is he right in saying it was based on a Model T?
05:18Oh, yeah.
05:19So this is what the kids would have done to your dad's car if he'd have let them.
05:23Really?
05:24Is that it?
05:25Yeah.
05:26Yeah.
05:27They still race them in America.
05:28Do they?
05:29Like this.
05:30You have to hand crank them, then jump in and start and off you go.
05:33Yeah.
05:34How cool is that?
05:35I think it's a really lovely thing.
05:36Did you build this one?
05:37No.
05:38I bought it as a bit of a dog.
05:41Yeah.
05:42And then got it fettled up and running.
05:44Yeah.
05:45What does it do?
05:46Maybe 45?
05:4745.
05:48Yeah.
05:49You've got one good brake on the back.
05:51Yeah.
05:52And it's all right.
05:53Yeah.
05:54Lot of fun.
05:5545 miles an hour in this, it'd be like 145 in something else.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Do you know what I mean?
06:00Yeah.
06:01Thrills per mile per hour are very high.
06:02Wow.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Yeah.
06:05Yeah.
06:06He's got another eccentric custom based on Britain's version of the Model T.
06:12Yeah.
06:13An Austin 7, 1929 or 30.
06:15Yeah.
06:16Converted to a tractor in 1937.
06:19Okay.
06:20And the log book has got Austin tourist struck out and tractor written in.
06:26And I think.
06:27Right.
06:28It was used because of the boxes, picking lettuce and fruit.
06:32Oh really?
06:33So it's got another gearbox and it'll go ever so slow.
06:37Wow.
06:38Okay.
06:39So I think you could pick your lettuce.
06:40Put the trains on.
06:41Okay.
06:42Yes.
06:43Got it.
06:44I got it.
06:45I got it.
06:46You've got your normal Austin 7 gearbox there.
06:47Yeah.
06:48Another gearbox here.
06:49So.
06:50That's amazing.
06:51So the output of that one will be in, in top gear will be one to one, but you can have
06:57that in first gear and this one in first gear and it would be super slow.
07:02Wow.
07:03Well, it's an amazing thing.
07:04I tell you what is also amazing, John, is your workshop.
07:07It's warm.
07:08There's so much space, all the machinery is there, the lays, the pillar drills.
07:12Yeah.
07:13My God, it's just fantastic.
07:14So this was a British army flat pack workshop.
07:18Yeah.
07:19And it's reckoned the engineers could put one up in a couple of hours.
07:22Gosh, I wonder if there are any more available.
07:25Just think.
07:26We could do with a shed.
07:27You could throw one up.
07:28This side.
07:29Just think how many tractors, helicopters, motorcycles.
07:33Look at that.
07:34Look at the size of the garage door.
07:36Exactly.
07:37You can get anything in.
07:38Imagine what you could get through there.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Double decker.
07:41Hey, come on.
07:42So look, we've got one more shed to have a look at.
07:43Yeah.
07:46So can it get any better?
07:48Maybe it can.
07:53Oh, my God.
07:54That's amazing.
07:55Now, that is a Cummins V8 engine.
07:57Is it?
07:58So I don't know if it's like a V8 200 or something like that.
08:01Oh, man.
08:02Look at it.
08:03Imagine that.
08:04Look at it.
08:05At some time in the 1960s, maybe?
08:07I've never seen one of these in the flesh.
08:10Right.
08:11Well, nor have I.
08:12I mean, do you know anything about these?
08:13Not much, really.
08:14But I think Versatile is a Canadian company which made these equal wheel tractors.
08:20And it's home, really, mate, is on either the Canadian or the American prairie.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Do you know what I mean?
08:29Founded in 1963, Versatile is a relatively new kid on the block, specialising in large four-wheel drive tractors.
08:37It is quite a phenomenal machine.
08:42And my God, blimey, if you saw that coming, you'd get out of the way, wouldn't you?
08:46You would, yeah.
08:47I can imagine you driving around the Cotswolds.
08:50On it.
08:51On that.
08:52So could I.
08:54I really could.
08:55That is great.
08:56This is something very special.
08:57Yeah.
08:58Hey, okay, so look, there's that, right?
09:00Well, we've seen the crawler, the Alice Chalmers.
09:03Yeah, the Alice Chalmers one.
09:04There's the Model T Speedster.
09:06There's the Model T Speedster.
09:07Yeah, that's very...
09:08And there's also that lovely Albion finger bar mower.
09:12Either way, we could be in the business of getting something quite chunky.
09:17I think so, yeah.
09:18And chunky.
09:19Shall we go and see John?
09:20Yes.
09:21He's in the workshop now.
09:22All right.
09:23Let's go.
09:31Let's start on some prices, shall we?
09:33I'm going to ask you about the Model T Speedster.
09:37Oh, right, yeah.
09:38Ooh.
09:39Nice.
09:40That's available?
09:41Yes.
09:428,000.
09:43Okay.
09:44Okay.
09:45All right.
09:46There is what I think is a finger bar mower, Albion.
09:48Oh, the Albion.
09:49Yes.
09:50Yeah.
09:51It's my son's.
09:52Uh-uh.
09:53Right.
09:54And I would have thought 400 pounds.
09:57Okay.
09:58Okay.
09:59Now there is the orange Alice Chalmers.
10:02Yep.
10:03It's a good one.
10:04Is it?
10:05And how much would that be?
10:06Three.
10:07Three.
10:08Okay.
10:09What about in the other shed?
10:10Yes.
10:11Going very, very large.
10:13Oh, yeah.
10:14Is that versatile available?
10:15Oh, yes.
10:16To you?
10:17Twelve.
10:18Oh, God.
10:19John, I'm so sorry.
10:21Can I make you an offer?
10:23The Alice Chalmers and the Albion.
10:27What happens if we did three the lot?
10:31Three, three would be nice.
10:34I think we should because I think there's a market for you.
10:35We're over in Toaster with John and his extraordinary collection of tractors and eccentricities.
10:52We've bid three grand on a crawler and a mower, but he wants a little more.
10:57Three, three would be nice.
11:00I think we should because I think there's a market for the crawler.
11:05Yeah.
11:06And there's fun to be had with the...
11:07Well, we've got to get the finger bar now again.
11:08The finger bar, yeah, yeah.
11:09Yeah.
11:10So I think as a combo, that's not a bad little...
11:14Subject to my son coming home from school and agreeing.
11:18Right, okay.
11:19But you're his father.
11:21That does not carry any weight.
11:24Okay, well, look.
11:25Provisionally, it's three, three.
11:27Three, three.
11:28Lovely.
11:29Next day, we're back at the ranch and the good news is John's son has agreed to sell us the mower.
11:38I just wanted an implement that we can tow behind this.
11:44You can be driving the finger bar or I will.
11:46Yeah.
11:47Can I just say...
11:48What?
11:49That is lethal.
11:50Yes.
11:51Yeah.
11:52This is lethal in any hands.
11:53Whatever you don't want to do because you're scared, I'll do it.
11:57Because if I get my arm cut off, it's my fault.
12:03The main item, though, is our not-so-creepy crawler.
12:06I'll be honest, I have no clue how to...
12:12I know this is left and right.
12:13I have a clue.
12:14Yeah, I have a clue.
12:15Yeah.
12:16Yeah.
12:17It's got twin brakes and twin brakes.
12:18Yeah.
12:19All I know is it's like a tank and I've driven tanks before.
12:21Can I just point out one thing?
12:23You're assuming this runs.
12:24There's a challenge then, eh?
12:25Let's give it sparks up.
12:26Yeah.
12:27Look, mate.
12:28I'll tell you, I brought my mates round this time.
12:29Right?
12:30You don't mess with us because there's four of us, okay?
12:32And we're going to get going.
12:33And we're going to go and do some cutting.
12:39Task number one.
12:40Fit a new battery and check if the engine starts.
12:45Ready?
12:46We're at throttle halfway.
12:54Yay!
12:57Isn't that fantastic?
13:02The old tricks are the best, aren't they?
13:04But sadly, after all the pyrotechnics, the next hour is not quite so spectacular.
13:11The engine refuses to idle.
13:17Well, it wants to, doesn't it?
13:18Alan and Fuzz remove the spark plugs.
13:25They're dry, but very sooty.
13:29They burn off the crud with a blow torch.
13:33And then top up the petrol tank.
13:35But it doesn't get any better.
13:41The car is pouring the peel out.
13:42It's literally just pouring out.
13:45Then Alan spots something.
13:47The switch to choose whether the crawler runs on petrol or TVO, a cheaper fuel,
13:53has been marked up wrong.
13:56How many's up?
13:57Up is on, look.
13:58Oh, okay.
13:59Up, up is on.
14:00Okay.
14:01He wrote it on there, look.
14:02John's throw Laguna.
14:03Petrol that way.
14:04It seems to be up, Ron.
14:05But it's up, John.
14:08So do all our problems come down to a mislabeled switch.
14:14Here we go.
14:15Fingers crossed.
14:17Yes!
14:18Yes!
14:19Don't eat!
14:20Yay!
14:21That's a huge, big old engine, isn't it?
14:22Very, very old fashioned.
14:23Is it warm yet?
14:24Nearly.
14:25Nearly.
14:26Yeah.
14:27Watch out of the way.
14:28It's going.
14:29It's going.
14:30It's going.
14:31We're rolling.
14:32We're rolling.
14:33I'm really scared.
14:34I'm not surprised.
14:35All you've got to do now is do a three-throw.
14:36All you've got to do now is do a three-throw.
14:37I'm really scared.
14:38I'm not surprised.
14:39I know.
14:40I've got to turn it round.
14:41I've got to turn it round.
14:42Get like that.
14:43I've got to turn it round.
14:44Get like that.
14:45I have never, I hasten to add, driven one of these.
14:46That's it.
14:47That's it.
14:48That's it.
14:49That's it.
14:50Go on, son.
14:51Hi.
14:52We're rolling.
14:53We're rolling!
14:54We're rolling!
14:57We're rolling!
14:58We're rolling!
14:59We're rolling!
15:01We're rolling!
15:02Oh.
15:03I'm really scared.
15:04I'm not surprised.
15:05All you've got to do now is do a three-point turn.
15:06I know.
15:07I've got to turn it round.
15:08Get like that.
15:09I have never, I hasten to add, driven one of these.
15:13That's it.
15:14That's it!
15:15That's it!
15:16Go on, son!
15:17That's it!
15:18That's it!
15:19Let it go!
15:20Hey!
15:21Hey!
15:22How did you turn it off?
15:26I don't know!
15:27One nice idle.
15:29Yeah.
15:30That was one of the most frightening drives of my life.
15:37You said you had to do a wheelie and you almost did a wheelie.
15:39If you have that on full beans and just dump the clutch, it's going to go up like that.
15:45Anyway, look, it runs and it drives!
15:46Yes.
15:47That's fantastic!
15:48Brilliant stuff!
15:49So I think the next thing to do, give it a wash, and then let's go cutting, shall we?
15:56First things first, we're going to spruce up the star of the show.
16:02Having a bit of a slosh then, are you?
16:04Yeah, just getting the worst of this grease off the top, because otherwise the jet wash won't do anything to it.
16:09So this will loosen it.
16:10Great.
16:11Just tell me when I can start jet washing.
16:13Give me about five minutes.
16:14All right, mate.
16:15So you can go and make the tea.
16:22For a crawler like this, mud is a badge of honour, of course, but some of the mud looks like it's from the crustacean period.
16:31Well, the minute we go to the field with this, it's going to get covered in poo again.
16:35Yeah, but that's like saying I'm not going to clean my motorbike because I'm going to use it.
16:38Oh, yeah, okay.
16:43Ten gallons later, it's done.
16:48Right, the finger bar, I reckon that should get the same treatment.
16:51Give that a whizzer.
16:52Yes.
16:53Yeah.
16:55We make swift work of the finger bar mower, but as it's drying, Skid notices that one of the levers needs a bit of attention.
17:04Next day, he catches the early worm and starts work on the problem before I arrive.
17:11Now look, I noticed that this little flimsy rod for the release mechanism.
17:16Yeah.
17:17I did bend that over, give it a pull and it just let go straight away.
17:20Is that why this can't come down now?
17:21I think so.
17:23I'm going to make a thicker rod and that fits in.
17:26I've checked that.
17:27All right.
17:28And I'll put a nut on there so it can't come out.
17:29All right.
17:30So all I've got to do now is bend this sideways towards me and put a nut on there.
17:35And it's done.
17:36And then we'll see, hopefully it'll hold out.
17:38I mean, bending this like that, it might weaken it, but I think it'll be strong enough.
17:41All right.
17:45Skid's using a threaded rod.
17:48Before he reshapes it, he gets it red hot.
17:54Once he's bent it like Beckham, he calls it down in a handy puddle and then checks the fit.
18:02Well, it's the perfect length.
18:03I've just got to cut these off, put a nut on, and I'm just hoping that bending it like that hasn't weakened it too much.
18:12Once it's cut to length, Skid fixes some dome nuts on the ends and then makes sure the mechanism works.
18:22That's it. And that is locked in.
18:24And now get on the seat then.
18:26Oh, yeah.
18:27Can I just say something?
18:28What?
18:29This, behind that caterpillar, is going to be truly, truly terrifying.
18:34Next morning, we hitch the mower up to the tractor and head for my field.
18:43Right, so then boys, okay, now obviously we're not going to cut the whole field, yeah?
18:56No.
18:57We're just going to make, well, we're going to do one run.
19:00And see if it works.
19:01So you can master the controls.
19:02I'm going to get on there and I haven't got a clue what I'm doing, but I'm sure we'll work it out.
19:07Well, that makes two of us, mate.
19:08Just go slowly.
19:09I will.
19:10I'll squeeze in with you.
19:19Here we go, Skid.
19:25It's not cutting.
19:26I don't.
19:28Well, the tractor works.
19:29The tractor works really well.
19:30The Albion looks more like it's raking the grass than cutting it, until Skid remembers to yank that front lever.
19:46It's working.
19:47Yes.
19:48Yes.
19:49We're cutting grass.
19:50It works.
19:51We're cutting grass.
19:54Our 1950s crawler and our even older mower are not exactly state-of-the-art.
20:06I'm actually using this all the time.
20:08Can't worry, you'll be naked.
20:09You'll be dead as well.
20:14But how fantastic to get them both up and running.
20:18All we need now is someone to buy them.
20:24Next day, we find the perfect punter.
20:30Josh is a local collector, who we've sold to before.
20:36What do you reckon, mate?
20:37It's a sort of, oh, it's nearly a colour match.
20:39Almost.
20:40I like it.
20:41A bit of our agricultural history.
20:43Now, more importantly though, don't you love our finger bar mower?
20:47Not really.
20:48I'll be honest with you.
20:49Screams deathtrap to me.
20:50Three and a half grand for the crawler.
20:54Three, three for the crawler.
20:58Shake hands.
20:59Really?
21:00Is it that easy?
21:01Your profit's in that thing.
21:02I'm going to start going down.
21:03All right, okay.
21:05There we go.
21:07Always shake hands.
21:08Well done, Josh.
21:09That's a good deal for both parties.
21:10It is, mate.
21:11Don't worry yourself on it.
21:12It is lethal.
21:13Okay, so look, that's good.
21:14I mean, honestly, mate.
21:15Close your ears.
21:16That means we've got to get our money back.
21:18That's our profit in the finger bar mower.
21:21Yes, so we're not heading for early retirement, are we?
21:23No, we're not, mate.
21:24No.
21:25Don't we need to forge on and be a cut above the rest?
21:28Yeah.
21:29Very good.
21:30Yeah, you're on form today.
21:31I am.
21:32Yeah.
21:33Come on then, I'll make you a cup of tea.
21:34Come on then.
21:35Bye.
21:36Bye.
21:37Bye.
