Its great to see people keeping these machines alive and used.
This fish were following, because you were feeding them grass hoppers and other bugs, when mowing.
Danny, its beautiful how you take what looks like junk and bring it back to life.
It is so nice to watch you use your expertise to highlight the ingenuity of folks long gone.🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Very impressive just goes to show hard work and dedication pays off ! You should be so pleased with your self. Excelente job Danny 🤗
Nice! Good morning!
Your place is an oasis absolutely beautiful Danny 🤗❤️
Now that was a joy to watch!
My father purchased ours new in 1955 and I still us it every summer to cut a 10 acre field for our neighbor.
Good good tool but can be dangerous be careful around those Banks until you get really used to it. I remember my daddy cutting down hay with one of those and also mowing around the pond and the ditch Banks on the way in and out the lane. That would make some nice hay for you.
I feel your pain with buying used implements. My son and I went to a big auction in Michigan last weekend. He bought 2 cultivator sets, 2 side dresser sets, a big crate of side dresser parts and an under belly disc. He has a super a and I have a super av. The under belly disc ended up being for a cub as far as we can tell. I thought about you right away but he says “ I guess I’ll have to buy a cub now”. 😂
As a retired farmer/ diesel mechanic I can relate to rebuilding things. I sold the farm and bought a thirty year old home on a couple of acres and the estate. Old house, old lawn tractor, old rototiller and the list of work goes on. But I'm thankful at my age I can stay busy and active as I believe I have a few years on you. And I'm impressed with the old FARMALL CUB. At one time I had a FARMALL H that you started it on gas and after it warmed up you switched it over to kerosene. The old girl was built in 1943 the year I was born and she still doing work on the farm in the early 90s.
Like that expression Danny.
2 legs and a arm for it, good job Danny,
that really is a nice looking pond.
You are like a kid in a candy store with this tractor. Awesome.
There’s something about being close to water…it’s good for the soul!!!!
Danny that tractor is the 💣 Red Rover, Red Rover turn the dirt Over WooWoo
Good morning Danny and Wanda hopefully you are having a great weekend. Been awhile greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲
With all the hills and banks you have it’s a necessity for you to own a sickle mower
It's funny how the simple things in life sooth the soul.
Danny, you are a pleasure and joy to watch and listen to, God bless you Sir
Your property is full of tranquility. I now live in the city but loved my old country living years. I enjoyed the sounds of nature. No police cars, sirens, and hardly no crime. I applaud you, Danny and Wanda sharing your homestead and advise with us. God Bless you both for your hard work🙏🙏
Thanx Danny and Wanda 👍🏽 love your vids🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽May God bless you
If you get a set of polarized sunglasses you will see right through the reflection to see all the fish.
I have heavy weeds along my creeks , and weed eating takes a lot of time and string . This bar should be great and easy work
The old ways are still the best ways
Not sure if y'all know about it or not, but there is a guy with a field FULL of farmall stuff on hwy 84 in Collins. When y'all come up 49, get on 84 and head west and he'll be on the left. He may have some stuff you could use.
She’s so purty now!
Good to know I am contemplating a place with a pond.
Lots happening at the Deep South Homestead….watching you from Gander Newfoundland and Labrador Canada and The Ole Church 5 Acre Homestead 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦‼️
The reflection in that pond is God's bonus!!
I remember the farm using a sickle sidebar when I was younger. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. Your restoration job looks great! Stay safe and keep on growing 🤠
It's such an enjoyment bringing a piece of equipment back into use when it looks dam near impossible. I would have had some serious doubts too looking at that thing the way it looked on that pallet. You should be smiling every time you use it.
Danny. You're teaching history while you're having fun working. Thank you.
Appreciate your shared knowledge, and experience
This video is bringing back memories of my life growing up on my grandfather farm in Indiana 🙏💯
Thank you from Detroit
Looks really good Danny and the Carp in the pond will thank you for giving back to them.
Love this tractor
We used our ole cub for hay time, plowing, discing. It was our only tractor. I just love that you are restoring it.
Looking good! I grew up in a big cattle farm and took ponds (and so many things) for granted, man do I miss what I had!
Great job rebuilding that cutter when you get the new blades miss Wanda want see you anymore lol
Good morning guys, nice job on cutter, Danny. Place looks beautiful, you inspire me. Always a lot to do. GOD BLESS GOD SPEED GOD WINS.
Danny, you simply amaze me with all your knowledge!
Working Horses With Jim is a TH-cam channel that uses similar tools and lives around the Amish he gets a lot of his supplies for his equipment from the Amish. He actually uses a device such as ours to cut his fields with his draft horses.
You did a great job on that mower. To bring it back from where you started just about makes you look like a miracle worker. Have a froggy day. 🐸
Beautiful place,that's for sharing your little piece of paradise.
Thanks for sharing
You’re a genius!!!
Yea, once you get a new cutting bar, it will make a world of difference. Growing up in the 60's on our farm we had a farmall cub and my Dad used it for mowing hay for our horses. I did most of the mowing with it and talk about having a great time, whew I loved that old tractor and watching the hay fall as the sickle bar layed it over so easily. Spent many many hours on that machine and loved every minute of it. The only caveat was waiting till it was dry enough to cut, which meant usually starting after noon, of course it was hotter then, but when you're having fun it did not matter, mow till sundown and call it a day.
Danny the wood pitman arm is made to break like a sheer bolt if you hit something so you don’t do damage to the rest of the mower I’ve helped my dad change a few on other mowers with wood arms
Danny that cub is 71 years old and it don't get tired like us when we get older. Where you gona live if your body wears out.
In heaven.
Morning Y’all , NICE ! I can remember my step father using one of these on his farm , everything looks great !
Very nice implement to have ,Great job,God Bless.Pond is Beautiful.
That is some kinda nice tool there Danny! good job!😉
You need to get some ducks for your pond they would look real cute out there
That's so nice! My Grandpa had a tractor with all those implements that looked a lot like yours. He used to sharpen the blades on his? I'm reminded of him every time you pull that old Cub out. Thank you.
Glad for you that it will work.
Thank you sir. Reminds me of riding on Old Blue with my father
That is awesome.
That is so cool! I’ve never heard of a sickle mower. That will be something I need to look into for the future. Right now I’m still on the weed eater. Love the video.
Crazy thing is I just bought a new weed eater. I think I'll be using this instead. Much faster and a lot more fun.
@@DeepSouthHomestead yes faster and fun is a good good combination.
Super nice!
Blessings, julie
Oh wow! You're a real Mensch, Danny! Congratulations on your intuitive/logic skills and putting your new mower together!
That "wooden rod" is actually called a Pitman Arm.
You could bend an iron rod and put it where the board would be. All it does, is deflect the cut grass away from the uncut grass.
AWESOME!
Mr Danny I live in southeastern NC and about 4 miles from me is a old equipment/junkyard and I didn't realize until last week just how many things "farmall" there are on that yard. I'm going to be going back through there this weekend and if they're open I'm going to stop in and get their best contact information and do my best to get it to you. I don't know if it will be of any value personally to you but just in case I know it won't hurt and the possibility of having another resource is worth it. In my opinion anyway. I am so enjoying the progress you are sharing with not only having a great working tractor but you are well on the way of having a new working system in place for the betterment of the homesteading experience and life! Much love to you and Mrs. Wanda. I hope y'all have a great weekend ahead and God bless.
Thanks I'll be waiting to hear from you.
I'm convinced I need to find me a cub tractor for our gardening.
Thank you for all your videos it's especially porch time you're doing Great job Danny it's sad but there's a small percentage of people to see Whats coming And don't believe in what's going to happenSadly we're never going back to yesterday the words that our parents used to say the good old days will be The same Words We say ourselves Keep up the great work . . God-bless
Just got home from work ,sat down and watched your video. Elbow grease, ingenuity, determination and dedication is the key to success. I'm am proud of you all Deep South. God Bless.......00TG from Illinois....
There is one of those on Craigslist knoxville tn for 100 dollars. Was used last year if you want another.
Very nice mower. Great job cleaning it up. Very nice all around!
You are amazing!
Thanks it was a hard weeks work getting it rebuilt.
Great job Dan. I remember using these to cut hay and followed
with a dump rake. Back then we piled hay in stacks.
Great job!
I'm happy for you Danny. Good job on the restoration. Cheers
Still looks fun 😁the new part looks good too cool fish
Love this! We need this as well. Really cool
As you cut , the fish are waiting for the grass hoppers to hit the water
Awesome job, Danny!
I just love how you have spent so much time rebuilding a classic tractor and it works perfect. I think it will be so much better when the new teeth come in for it. Its like a big wow! And another wow with all the fish. I could sit all day by that pond just watching the fish. Oh just love the nature God creates for us. Praise Him!
That pulley system must of cost a whole lot as you could tell you were trying to justify the high cost of it! Don't know if you were trying to convince yourself or us! Lol! Hope you get a whole lot of enjoyment out of it Danny and that it makes it easier on you!
If you are lucky enough to find a used one of those pulleys, they usually sell for no less than $100.
The grass carp love fresh grass clippings. I use to feed them baskets full daily at a golf course and it didn't take long before they looked like sharks feeding. I would not be scared to say they were at least forty pounds and 3 1/2 feet long. Really fun to watch them grow into giants.
Mine are getting pretty big also
Looks great. Fantastic how your able to do all that. I’m so thankful for my son who comes over and helps me mow and stuff.
Just learned about your channel from Kevin at Living Traditions Hmstd. This is a great video and would have been an encouragement to me back in the mid 90's when I was buying old equipment to use with my Case VAC. I bought a 3pt. 7' Ford sickle mower that was in pretty good shape but I had to learn how to make it cut to its full capability. For the next 11or12 yrs, that rig and I cut lots of fescue hay. Wife and I square baled it and hauled it mostly ourselves those yrs. until about 2007, I bought a round baler. Keeping the sections sharp is just part of the equation. You also have to keep the guards adjusted so that there is not too much gap between the bottom gaurd plate and the section. In fact, you actually want to section to rub that plate. I pulled into a new client's place to cut his hay once and he just grinned and shook his head. He said, "that will never cut this hay, it's too thick." I had great satisfaction in having him complement me after a couple of rounds on how well it was cutting. Miss those times. It was not fast, but I could do a lot of thinking and meditating while going round and round a 5, 7, or 10 acre field with that rig. Still have all the old equipment, just sitting and rusting. No one wants stuff like this anymore.
Used one of those many times on my grandparents farm many years ago. As a kid I loved mowing the pasture with it.
Another excellent video
Great content as usual. Love it
The reflection sure is spectacular Wanda, pretty as a picture. That Farmall Cub is sure turning out to be the go to machine Danny. How amazing how the Lord sees fit for the fish to eat. God bless and thanks!
Love the Cub, after seeing yours when you got it made me to go out and buy me one.
I will try to do a video and send it along with the story of how I got it along with its implements and I’ll email it to you.
Keep up the great work!
VERY beautiful property 💓
Love the restored tractor! As to the fish, have you considered putting a "bug zapper" on the dock - over the water, with the bottom tray of the bug zapper taken off? That way the zapped bugs fall straight into the water as fresh bugs for the fish (free food!). They do that a lot at the lakes around us. Plus the fish hang around your dock more. Also if they make a polarizing lens for your video camera, it cut the reflections off the water so you can show the fish better.
We have solar lights just above the water at our pier. Pulls in lots of bugs for the fish to eat.
Great video, kinda rewarding getting it done without instructions, surprised how nice it cut that green grass for not being sharpened. Something about those old tractors and implements. Good job
The pond looks amazing!
Thank you very much Wanda for the tour of the farm, I really admire the various trees outside and especially what is in the greenhouse - Malpighia glabra
You can sharpen the sickle sections with a angle grinder
These are to wore out and thin.
awesome job on the sickle mower.
Youve done an amazing restore on that tractor....looks fantastic...
Danny, awesome job with the use of the Cub. I love old tractors, watching you on it is great.
Thanks
Now you're talking my language Mr Danny! I love this old vintage equipment! You need a circular wood saw mounted on it to saw your firewood, I have a Dearborn to go on my 8n and a homemade saw I plan to do a video on later this fall. Great video, nice work on the sickle bar mower!
I'm glad you were able to repair and restore the new tractor part. It is amazing how you put that puzzle together and made it work. The pond is beautiful and I could see some fish!! About time for a fishfry!!
WOW, with all the new parts couldn't help but wonder what actually wasn't replaced. Lol the other thing i wondered is, if those teeth are dull, can they not be sharpened? I know mower blades are sharpened, so just thought there ought to be a way to sharpen them. I'm sure more tedious work would be involved though, but hey Danny ain't afraid of work!😂🤗 Well done Sir!
