A number of those old tractors had two fuel tanks because they ran on Kerosene and they would put gasoline in the small tank to get them started easier and warm them up and then switch to the main tank to work !!!

Seems to be anywhere from a 1953-1958 model. Aside being a gas burner with a crank start, it is very similar to my dad's old 60's Fordson Dextra. Tactors back then were build like tanks, so even if it was at the bottom of a lake, it would have survived.

Klaus GGGAcum 4 Zile
@Klaus GGG There is an attachment which allows you to fill the tyre through the tyre valve stem so that there basically is no air in the tyre....and any air that had been in there 20 years ago would have permeated through the rubber and gone, leaving only water....
John SmithAcum 3 Zile
@John Smith Thank you, I've watched the next video right afterwards. But still, even that's astounding, water would only seep in to the waterline, so I guess there still would be an air pocket on the top half, and it obvioulsy kept the pressure, as he was driving around still on the same tyres. Anyway, very glad he could rescue the old girl!

The radiator cap did not have a seal on it...not pressurized, therefore subject to evaporation over time.
