953 nut 51,930 #2 Posted January 30 (edited) I enjoyed watching that "OLD" video then realised I was already in the US Navy when the "OLD" video was made. Edited January 30 by 953 nut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,916 #3 Posted January 30 Where was this video made? Kinda scary to see men using air tools, pressure washers and air blowers without any eye protection. Very interesting and I was surprise and didn't realize these tractors did not have a frame. The front end connecting directly to the engine only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aside from the safety stuff, most major manufactures would never allow open gearboxes in that environment. I used a shop that was located inside of a factory and the interior was pressurized and climate controled to keep the surrounding dirt out of the assembly areas. Probably not much of a surprise another fine American Brand made off shore. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #6 Posted January 30 Yes, the factory was opened in the 1960s and is now around 60 years old, and the video is more recent. And yes, the factory is located in Pakistan. Noticed how they "slammed" some of the components together, and that the sealing process was a bit.....lame and inconsistent. Makes you wonder about the quality of some of the tractors made overseas, especially India and Pakistan. One of the reasons (among many) why the Yugo was a failure was due to old tooling, old design and old techniques. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here. But I did find watching the video very gratifying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 10,656 #10 Posted January 31 The painter spraying with just a scarf wrapped around his mouth and nose blew me away. Those machines are likely for the local market only. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
