    This series has been more entertaining than any television show I've seen in the last 5 years. Thank you so much for sharing. I'll never rebuild a tractor, but I have enjoyed learning the history, mechanics, and process watching you restore the Super C.

    If I have said it before, no apologies for saying it again. Thank you for all your amazing posts. Just a few words with little effort to their writing but heartfelt. Happy Christmas to you and your family. Love from the UK.

    The next tractor you do could you show yourself cleaning the paint and rust off the sheet metal? I think it would be neat to see the process you do to clean the metal up.

    As a retired mechanic, I find your videos to be very soothing to me, this tractor is simply a work of art. :)

    Sir when you tire of the farming life, you know you got a job in antique tractor restoration. I'd be willing to bet a collector would pay top dollar for these restored tractor's (someone collects them someone collects everything) you do a darn fine job. you should be proud of your work looks brand new.

    When people see your finished job if they haven’t watched your videos they will have no idea the work involved. She’s going to be a show piece. You won’t want to get her dirty . Really enjoy your channel

    Finally, something we disagreed on . I love the clickety- clap sound. I still put the can on top. I totally get the radiator screen to . My first one I work on for days. Looked perfect. But looking from the side . You could see everything that you couldn’t! Everyone has there little things. But I sure love your videos. Your family are so sweet. Your channel is my number one favorite. Thanks

    The tractor looks great Pete is something you'll be proud of now.
    When Hillary gets on one of her drinking benches hide the keys to the tractor. 😂😂 Just kidding I know she doesn't do that.
    Always look forward to your videos Pete you and Hillary are a great couple and have a great farm God bless you all.

    Painting the underside prevents rust too, from condensation. My father, a diesel and auto mechanic, took the chrome bumpers off his brand new Chevy in 1966 and coated the backs with Rustoleum. 57 years later...no rust, no pitting, just beautiful chrome bumpers. Thank you for these videos Pete. May God bless you and your beautiful family, at Christmas and always

    Are you sure like absolutely sure you haven’t done this tractor restoration stuff in a previous life Pete? I love your knowledge and skills so grateful you share this with the world! The best part is you restore the good stuff!! Love seeing red power living on!

    To be honest, your tractor restoration videos are my favorite. I love your attention to detail, and at the same time, not perfection, to some others. Your restorations are perfect for you and I love them. Thanks, as always Pete.

    How good was this video? well before I watched it I went out and made a nice mug of Chicken soup, got few crackers. got a fresh cup of coffee, came back in laid all my goodies out, got comfy in the shack (I'm a Amateur Radio op so spend all my retirement in the "Radio Shack" swivel chair and all. then say back and had the time of my life watching and savoring every moment of this video. you sir! are beyond praise!. I'm pushing 80 so no more rebuilding anything for me. If I can't lift it and put it on the bendh it doesn't get done. so small pro-jects is the name of the game for me. so I live vicariously through oyu Pete. thank you so so much for taking the time to make an old man like me so happy. God Speed. ECF

    Pete- you know that feeling when you buy something new (like your truck) and you want to keep it perfect for as long as possible…..and then you get a dent…….well now you don’t have to worry about it with the “c” you already have a dent…..now you can sleep and not worry about it. I think it looks great, you do a very nice job! Thank you for sharing. Nice video

    All the prep work is what separates the pros from the quickies. Anyone can slap new lipstick on a pig but a takes a true craftsman to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. I love the tutorials and am just about to pull the trigger on my own restoration. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

    That unfinished metal reminds me of the polished aluminum on an old WW2 airplane. Looks good against the red.

    My dads Super C was the first tractor i drove when i was 5 yrs old, he bought it new in like 1954 i think, nice restoration job 👍 i cleaned & painted my dads with a paintbrush , & put new stickers on it, it actually turned out pretty good, done that like 38 yrs ago ... you could go out there to this day & it will start rite up ... we pulled big chopper wagon loads of silage with that little tractor all the time , it would pull it in 4th gear as long as you were on level ground .. my dad backed in several loads of hay & straw in with one hooked behind the other one several times with that little tractor , good little work horses ...

    I enjoyed watching you do the bodywork on the tractor. I don't think people who've never done it don't understand the importance of the human touch when it comes to funding all the high and low spots you have to feel for. Sometimes the eye can deceive but touch never does.
    The Super C is starting to look amazing 👏 👏👏👏

    Good morning Pete. Another great video. A great example of all American persistence and ingenuity in getting difficult tasks done. Before studying architecture I owned a sign making shop.
