    The most important thing is not the color of the wheels, it is teaching your son how fix and solve problems and allowing him to voice his opinions. Great Job Dad.

    Not only is Elijah a good kid for wanting to help, but he really surprised me how easily he picked up that tire. What a strong boy!

  • @karendaniel262

    Oh let Elijah decide what to do with the tractor and make sure he inherits it when he’s grown! He will definitely take utmost care of it. Such a handsome and fine young man.

      Hi Robert. I agree with you 100%.
      I think the older boy’s name is: Elijah. The other little guy is Issac. Hope I’m spelling their names correctly.
      They’re just a Really nice family.

    💖 he has grown up so much in just the past few years I remember when he was just a small fry runnin round being silly with Isaac 😂 now look at him man handling those tires like they don't weigh nothing 😂 I know y'all are really proud of the lil man he's became 💕 he's a great helper to have around the homestead
    side note: love the old ford as is ~ I wouldn't change a thing✨💖✨

    Awesome, I had my son helping me build our house as soon as he could hold a hammer , his first car needed an engine , this was before the internet , he went to the library and got a few books and 2 days later hes driving his car , they will have failures but can always fix it , I taught him how to finish concrete run any piece of equipment etc. Today my son owns his own construction company, so you and your wife keep up the good work

    This is so wonderful seeing you and Elijah working together, You are teaching him great work skills and dad and son time, he will always remember this and when he has children of his own he will tell stories of what you and him did together and all the things you and Angela have taught them.

  • @russellwall1964
    @russellwall1964 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love how you are including Elijah in your projects! There is no better way for a boy to learn how to be a man, and how to get things done. He clearly looks up to you as his Dad, as it should be. I love the front rims and would just let them be without further work on your tractor. There is much beauty to be found in things that are old and well used. It shows that they were useful and well used.

  • @kscheuerman5378
    @kscheuerman5378 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think you did the right thing. If you spend money on fixing up the tractor for aesthetic purposes, then you have to keep doing it and that's not practical. It's a work vehicle, best to keep it that way, in my opinion. Always, love watching you teaching and working with Elijah. You have taught him well. I see, he has the ability for doing things well! Sam, please give Angela my best. God Bless you all

    I don’t know why it wouldn’t be ok to paint the wheels, people do it all the time when they restore tractors. Good luck it will be awesome.

  • @lugnutzz75
    @lugnutzz75 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Awesome card trick. If you want to keep “patina” you could clear coat it. Just depends on how muck “lipstick on the pig” you want to do. Btw I think it’s nice like it is. I think the paint on wheels is more functional protecting them from rust.
    Another paint trick is using Vaseline to cover larger areas after masking the edges of an area.

    You did a great job, Elijah! Yes, the front wheels look different from the back, but I don't think it looks bad. And once they're dirty you probably won't notice it nearly as much. It's better than the rusty look.

    Go ahead and do the rear wheels since the front ones are already done. As for the body, There is a clear lacquer you can buy that will seal it up and prevent more rust and make it look the way it is for a long while. Your boy is really growing up fast! You are teaching him a really good work ethic.

  • @keitheverhart9556

    Life is full of teachable moments with your kids. Make it fun and it will stick. You taught how to clean what you own and take care of it. Something that will pay dividends in the future. That it was an older piece of equipment is even better. Taking care of what you have and extending the life is a valuable lesson. The nice thing is that while you are teaching you are making memories, not just for Elijah, but for you as well. Kids grow up so quickly, when you get older memories of when they were young are priceless.

    A little paint here and there to protect it from rust will extend its useful lifespan. It just adds to the patina. Your time with the old Ford will as to it’s story. Your boys (and maybe even their children) will remember it.

    It looks great…. Keep going. Yes take the back wheels off and paint them too.

  • @randybourdon2791

    Elijah is so darn cute 🤗. It was a great father son project. I have been thinking for some time now that you should clean and paint the rusted areas so that don't get worse. But it's your tractor, you do it the way you want.

  • @keithhogan6997
    @keithhogan6997 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This was an excellent father/son project for sure. It's something your boys will always remember and will pass on to their kids. I agree with keeping the tractors "story" intact on the blue paint. While I get your train of thought on holding off, my opinion would be to paint the rear tires to match the front. The fresh wheels will look great with the new tires and will take on an even "story" together and more so with the overall story of ol' Blue. All the best, and many blessings from the PNW! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

  • @dadams5040

  • @number1pappy
    @number1pappy ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I totally understand not wanting to go too far on the tractor as this is how we wound up renovating our entire house! Lol! It all started with a simple remodeling of our guest bathroom as at the time it was the worst room in our house. So it went from the worst and stood out ,to being the best room and again it stood out! Lol! As far as your tractor goes ,I think just preserving the natural patina that it has would be awesome! Your tractor has a story to tell, and that would be lost with a restoration. Boiled linseed oil is what you want to use on your tractor paint. It will keep the rust from growing and also shine up and protect the paint and patina.

  • @dwd3416
    @dwd3416 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I only have one suggestion, you should put caps on your valve stems to keep dirt out of them. Otherwise, when you put air into your tires, the dirt will go inside with the air and cause an air leak on the schrader valve.

  • @Calmedseas
    @Calmedseas ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Go ahead and paint the back wheels too. That will match the front. A shoe shine is always good.....good maintenance and upkeep.....to keep the rust off. They end up with lots of muck n mud through use. Probably would be a good idea to do every year or so. It won't hurt the integrity to keep up the wheels. I love watching you work with and teach your son.

    Great job Elijah! Greater job Dad! You are empowering your son. He is a capable young man.

    @betpatpatten3840 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your tractor looks much better with a white wheel rather than the off-white or yellow. To some extent, I think you're right, about not making shine too much, but a good coat of wax on the blue part will help preserve the paint and stop the rest from getting worse, and it also might make the blue finish shiny. Thanks for sharing!

  • @adrianagarza4955

  • @georgehardy8165
    @georgehardy8165 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Sam,
    I think I would take the time and paint the whole Tractor blue and paint the motor blue too, and of course, paint the rear rims that white so it will match the front rims, by doing this you would add many more years to that beautiful old Tractor not to mention how nice it would look. it would also preserve it as well. but just so you know I do also respect & appreciate the natural patina that this Tractor worked so hard to achieve...!
