I love these old steam shows. I'm 58 years old and the older I get the more I enjoy it. I especially like those hit and miss engines . Sometimes nostalgia is a good thing.
I am 63 and I enjoy the old steam engines at the fair’s and field days,even the old tractors 🚜
Hi Pete, the Oliver 1855 is mine, with a 5.9 Cummins. I'm in the process of pulling the Over Under cooler to get it repaired, that's why the tin was off the one side. I know you are an IH man. My father bought a 1939 Mccormick Deering O 14, 406 were made. He bought it in 1966 from a local Case dealership. I then sold it the son of the dealership 35 years ago. I know have been trying to buy it back for the last 16 years. The son wants me to find another O 14 to trade with him. I see the son at that show every year and continue to try and persuade him to sell it back to me. It's a total basket case, but has great value to me. I really enjoy your farm content and restorations.
Thank you, Rob.
Pete, thanks for taking the time for me to say hi on your way out when i passed by you! You are just as pleasant in person as you are in all your videos! Great recap of the day and you definitely got out to your vehicle just in time! -Nic J.
Those old steam engines are so beautiful when they are completely restored. That 1937 International truck sure would be a beauty to have.
Great video, as always, Pete. Old tractors and old engines. One can't argue with that combination.
A lot of great History in your video, Thanks for sharing, our local steam engine show is this weekend I’ll be there baling straw with a an old wire tie baler !! Hoping the rain stays away !!
Well done, Pete. Thanks For taking us along. Good to see you get a bit of free time for yourself walking around doing what you wanna do… we all need that 👍👍👍
I hope the next generation keeps this going, hope we don't lose it. So fascinating , thanks Pete
Looks like a fun rally for the mechanically inclined
Pete, it was great to get out there today with you. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Pete we are so lucky to have you. Whatever video you post it’s great 🎉
I couldn't have said it better! Thanks Pete!
The two man chainsaws are called a Maul. I worked for a elderly Swedish farmer while i was in my teens.
He had two. You didn't tilt the engine.
You shut it down, loosen the bolts, turned the blade,and tightened the bolts. I love the show season.
Thank you Pete.
Good morning Pete, thank you for taking us along with you to the show. I always love looking and learning about the ol’ days and equipment. The green Oliver tractors remind me of the green tractor from bob the builder. ❤☕️ blessed day and see you next time.
Thanks, Pete, for the invite.
Thanks for showing us around. that is so cool. I like seeing old tractors and equipments.
Thank you for showing the Minneapolis-Moline lineup. My great grandfather was a dealer and shop owner in the 50s and 60s so I have a special place in my heart for them,
My favorite vids from you are the auctions and shows. Love seeing the old stuff. Thanks Pete
Thanks for taking us along to the show Pete I enjoyed looking at the machinery of days gone by
Thanks for the tour, Pete! I enjoy watching those old machines work. You realize that even with "mechanized muscle" how difficult it must have been, and yet the increase in productivity must have seemed amazing at the time.
Thanks, Pete, for bringing us along. Nice seeing old stuff still being used.
Thanks Pete. Love seeing the old stuff.
Thank you, Pete, for taking us along. I really enjoy it. 👍👍
Good day to all.
I grew up in Alexander and remember going to that show in the mid 80s with my Dad.
I do miss western NY, it was a fantastic small town to grow up in.
Thank you for sharing.
A fire tube boiler. My grandfather was a commercial fisherman on lake superior. One of his fish tugs had a Morse Fairbanks steam engine. It had a unique sound when it was running.
That was a fun visit. Thanks I enjoyed that.
What a great flashback. I grew up in western NY and my grandfather took me to this show every year as a kid. thanks for sharing
Great to see you in our area Pete! We attend the WNY Gas and Steam Engine show every year! We were there on Saturday though. Hope you enjoyed your time here. 😊
👍
Hey pete Great vidéo and farm show and i love this old school equipement and sound
14:13 Love this sound
It's really a shame that it's being lost more and more in France by my home in Alsace, sometimes I've already been to Germany with friends and even as participants
15:58 beast tractor and sound old popping deere tractor
Glad you like the steam show in my area got to meet you in person love your videos
Loved the shots of the show.
Awesome video I love going to tractor shows
Thanks for taking us along!
Was a fun show ! It's just down the rd from us!
Hartford, Michigan is 10 mins away from me. Never knew they made tractors there back in the day.
I enjoyed it the more because you were taking us around, thanks.
Thanks for taking us along with you, Pete. 👍👍✌️
Thanks for taking us along Pete,really enjoyed it.
Thanks for taking me along, enjoy this kind of video. When I was a member of NATS ( National Association of Textile Supervisors), we would schedule a meet up at related business, always enjoyed seeing how other companies produced their products.
I always go to our steam engine/ tractor shows here in Michigan and love it. Thank you, Pete, for taking me along to one of your shows. Be safe, and God bless.
Wow. One of your best shows.
Thank you Pete (this is Ben in N.C.). Suzanne (my bride) and I hope to travel up your way this fall or winter. Don't worry, we'll visit you at the Farmers' Market. This would be an honor for us. Just to shake your hand. Suzanne and I are slowly going through all of your and Hilarie's videos. We spend a hour or two each evening watching your videos. It is very restful for us.
Very interesting in the variety of machines and ages of these. A lot of machines through the years.Thanks for taking us along.
Great seeing these old machines in working order. I just came back from the Philippines where I was out in the countryside (they call it "the province") and they were cutting 2x8's with a long chainsaw, a chalk line and bare feet standing on the log.
Sir,
I, being 83, love this kind of video. Please let me know whenever you show them
Loved the show. Thanks for taking us along.
Oliver, the good "green" tractor 😎
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it. Too bad they did’t have different parts for the truck for sale.
Thank you everything was so very interesting stuff I would have never seen I have seen a few things but some of them my goodness thank you for your Channel
Hi Pete,Edward from Vermont, I luv going to the fair’s and watching the old tractors and old engines run,so awesome,we are so luck this day in age to still have some of those engines and tractors around
This show brought back memories of the Central Washington state fair. As a child I would be mesmerized by these machines running, still am. Thanks Pete.
My father and Stepfather were both members, supporters and volunteers of the Alexander steam association. The machinery came from the many industries in Western NY along with items used in the oil fields of PA.
Hello Pete lots of cool tractors and engines. Have a great day thanks your time to video tape.
Love those old tractors and stuff , they have a great old tractor steam engine show here in NC called the Old Time Threshers reunion in Denton NC about 30 miles form me in July always but that is a far piece for yall enjoyed the video👍
What amazes me most about old machines is how the inventor and the manufacturer were able to figure out how they would be designed to work and fulfill their purpose 🤔
Thank you. Love the old engines! And history too
Thanks for taking us along. I enjoy seeing old equipment. Thanks
That was a great show!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for filming your visit to the show! I missed it this year and was bummed about it. You made my day!
Friday Orchard Tractor, built in Hartford Michigan. Designed to take apples from the orchard and go "from Grove to road" with some models achieving road speeds up to 60mph.
great way to spend the day! thanks for bringing us along.
Love these old shows Pete, and when I lived on the Wi/Mn border saw lots with the old steam and threshers still working, and lots of stationary engines with accessories like your show 😊
Did enjoy it! Thanks for bringing us along. Sausage bun 👍👍👍
Really enjoyed walking around with you today.
Morning Pete. Great video, great collection of old. as I have come to learn, Old is good. you just can't give em the beans all at once. Thanks for sharing. Be well.
Thanks for the video Pete. Enjoyed seeing all the tractors and engines!
Always loved the hiss and pop at the hit and miss shows
THANK YOU
Love the steam power equipment, very elegant source of power.
Old Fairbanks engines I've seen used for powering generators for municipals. Thanks for sharing.
Nice hanging out with you at the tractor show 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That cut-away steam engine was really interesting!
Thanks for the tour
That is a neat event, showing all the wonderful old machinery. I was tasked with overall boiler maintenance inspections of a company that used horizontal and vertical boilers, both for heat and steam processes and they were a real joy to watch them work and process. That boiler display was great to see, brought back some good memories! Thanks Pete, have a good day.
Love looking at old things. Nice view Pete.
Thanks for the tour of the show Pete. It had a great variety of interesting machines and I enjoyed seeing all of them.
And here I thought you went to the show looking for inspiration and answers for the project you have with Henry and the International... It was fun to watch just the same.
Thanks Pete. As a retired engineer it was fun to see all those things I had never seen before. I think we could have been close friends as we have very similar interests. Both the mechanical as well as the farming. I love watching your channel... Thanks, Jim Robinson, Gorham, ME.
Always enjoy a fair. Thank you for sharing, Pete!
Hi Pete, thanks for the great show. Like you I just love the old stuff. I think it took a lot of ingenuity to design and build the old machines. No computers and no AI. Belts and pulleys. Sad to see them go. See you on the next one.
Very interesting video t there Pete like those old engines in steam engines don't get to see him too often very fun to see thanks for taking us there
Thanks Pete!
Something new.
Keep Smilin!!!!
Almost every tractor show I have attended, I find something I have never seen before. Thanks Pete for sharing.
I always look forward to your videos and appreciate the effort. It takes to put these things together. Thank you.
Thanks for taking us along Pete, great video
thanks for taking us along i really enjoy the old FairBanks Morse engines hard to picture how they ran submarines during the war
Fun to visit Pete. Thanks much. Hope you found your truck!
I really enjoyed this video! Nice to see you get away from your farm, and enjoy a da y with all that awsome old machinery. I live thru you for my love of everything mechanical, although I'm a little older, and have mobility issues which limit my chances of going to such events. Keep it up! Greetings from Ontario Canada just a few hours away.
Enjoyed this show very much. Lots of cool stuff. Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for taking us along.
How great were these machine , and of course how great the humans who created these. Thanks for sharing your visit.
Cool show. Thanks for taking us along.
That is history! It is always good to see the progressive change of the industry. The amazing part is people back then needed something and built it. What an industry !😊
This was such a great video. Such fascinating machines. Thanks for sharing Pete.
That was a very cool show Pete. Not your average show. This was very interesting.
WOOOO some steam engines today. That makes me VERY happy, thanks for sharing Pete
Back when they took pride in building stuff to last forever.I don’t see anything there from the 21st century that’s because it’s garbage. That was an incredible trip. Thanks for taking us along Pete.
Great video Pete, I love those shows of old equipment.
Fabulous event - thank you for covering it. My dad's family started the Merrell Soule Company in the 1800s not far from where this even was, and dad described factories that had a power source that ran an overhead shaft - to drive all the machinery from different points. Dad said how dangerous this was, as people's hair or clothing could get caught - causing injury or death.
Is that what they call it “orchard sprayer” looks to me it’s a mobile moonshine business 😂
