Pete, thank you for sharing these repair videos. They are very informative. I'm going to be tackling a cub and a Super C this year. Keep the Dad jokes coming too!!!
Right!! Love those Dad jokes!! Maybe because I'm a Dad!! I love to get my kid's eyes rolling!!
Mr.Pete,i could watch you all day.Keep up the good work.
Pete, you are excellent at showing and explaining how these systems work. You make the complicated understandable. Thank you!
Pete keep on your videos
Its pretty amazing that the mechanical engineering of that era still runs decades later ..
No computers & sensors .
No curcuitry that requires an engineering degree to trouble shoot..
Just mechanized systems that were meant to last..
Gotta love it.
Agreed!!
And better for that?
They don't make em like they used to.
I greatly admire the skills and patience Pete models in this video. And I'm far more amazed that engineers could design this to begin with! How do they DO that?
Side note..my parents early 1950's refrigerator is in my son's basement..plug it in and I betcha it works!!
I am an 83 year old Engineer and I must say I am impressed with the mechanical skills and 'feel' you have acquired, together with your straightforward, easy to understand teaching style.
Not bad for an Architect!
I am also impressed with the 70 year old design and build of the Farmall, reminds me of robust steam powered machinery from the Victorian age. With a little tender loving care, these machines can keep working indefinitely.
Keep it going Pete, and keep telling us about it.
A fan from Rutland.
What amazes me about these older tractors is the fine machining work that got everything working as fine as a swiss watch. Please keep these videos up during your off season I enjoy them so very much. Thanks again Pete.
It absolutely makes my day watching your videos
Your positivity amazes us
Never stop doing what you do
Being a older person who grew up on farmall tractors and still have a farmall M I fund your videos very interesting. As an example I just had to do some front end work on my M. I had to take the steering shaft that goes down thru the front bolster out and have it repaired where it goes thru the gear box at the top. Also replaced the bonze bearing in the gear box. I had watched your rebuild on your MD which helped immensely. Got that fixed and discovered that the radiator had a leak. And since I was moving the radiator I figured I might just as well replace all the hoses and thermostat. In removing the radiator I bent a fan blade so I replaced that also. And again I watched your MD video which helped immensely. Also one last thing Pete my brother has an 856 and he has also been watching your videos. We always call each other on Sundays to discuss your latest episode. Again thanks Pete for all your videos.
With all of those wee bitty parts needing to go back the way they came out, I'd be sitting in a corner blubbering and drooling! My hat's off to you all of you who handle these workings like it's simply putting a simple puzzle together. Again, thanks for a calming episode----it must be your voice and knowledge that relaxes me.
Well said about sitting in the corner!
Can't wait to see the next episode pete! You're a fantastic mechanic! Have a great day
Good morning Pete and family. Have been watching you for a long time and I'm so very glad for your continued videos. What could be better on a Sunday morning than a new tractor repair video along with a cup of coffee and a home cooked breakfast. Have a wonderful day!
When I see you take apart these assemblies, I marvel at the complexity and the design - each part has a purpose and a reason for being, as well as a specific position in the grand scheme of things. And you have to keep the order for reassembly in your head! As you said, the parts book helps with that. But still, when I see snap ring after snap ring come off, revealing more moving parts, I admire your stamina, Pete! That was a lot of sludge in the brake unit! Thank you very much for sharing this substantial undertaking with us - taking the time to explain and to film it all is really appreciated. Your descriptions help us visualize how it works and makes me think that this is not as simple as it seems. Regards to Hillarie, the family, and to Ezra, who was heard plaintively meowing in the background @ 10:45 - 😊
It’s refreshing to see that others put stuff together wrong and have to redo it. Makes me feel less stupid. Thanks Pete.
I have to disagree with you, your not stupid you just haven't learned how to do it correctly yet.
Every mistake is a learning experience.
What a great interesting video love the way you explain how these things work, looking forward to the next one.
somthing about watching your videos brings peace, not sure why. cool stuff Pete
Very enjoyable watching your channel.
Thanks for sharing this, Pete. I enjoy this restoration type video. I have worked on tractors myself, even though they had 2 less cylinders and was a different color 🤷.
I'm sure there are viewers that watch these videos that have never been around tractors and enjoy these videos. That says a lot about your channel. 👏👏👍👍✌️
I enjoy your description on the breakaway and rebuilding of your equipment.
The skills of the manafactures to design the product in the day prior to CAD ( much Respect), I'm impressed of how they did their castings and admire just what skills they had to produce what they did. It's a pleasure to get an understanding of the engineering involved, and not just a commercial as is now!!. Can't wait for the 856 to be compleated and see her running as she was designed.
Yes...getting my Sunday morning zen.
Good morning Pete another great video you look like you’re really enjoying yourself when you work on these, so have fun keep up the good work
Love the journey that you’re allowing us to share with you. Thanks
Nothing more rewarding as seeing old machines being brought back to life
Thank You Pete , another great tutorial ! Dr. Pete you are the Best ! GOD BLESS !!!
Pete, I am a high school digital media teacher in CT. I show your videos to my students as an example of excellent production value. Just to let you know, these "city kids" always ask when the next video is coming out becasue they love the farm and the tractor stuff. Thanks for sharing.
I'm probably never going to work on a tractor but I really enjoy these videos. I started watching your channel for the farming and animals but these tractor restoration videos are informative and enjoyable. Thanks Pete.
I know filming this project probably doubles your time involved, but we really enjoy watching. Thanks for bringing us along!
Geeze Pete, once you're all done, we might have to trade even up. I mean, that middle number doesn't mean anything anyways right? 😂
Your videos will save many tractors from the scrapyard. I’m sure there are many tractors sitting around with a few minor problems that just need a new generation armed with the information from your videos to teach and enable them to tackle the issues. Once people see what they can accomplish, they will have more confidence to tackle other tasks. This can-do mindset is what we need in this country. It is what can save our country.
Pete, did you know that your videos are arming the people of this country with the skills and mentality that it’s going to take to save this country? Just all in a day of Pete’s work and videos! 😉
@ryanevers7563 ,
Ryan , it is not only instilling the can-do mindset that is needed. A want-to do mindset is needed also. I have talked with many youngsters that do not want to repair anything ! They would much rather discard a repairable item and buy another new one.
Simply put they do not want to get their hands dirty.
The main problem is the need for instant gratification.

Pete I could sit and watch u repair videos all day long
Pete, you look so much happier ! 😊
I'm not a tractor guy. But I really enjoy your videos. Your very knowledgeable. And sorry your pigs aren't making bacon 😂
I have a 1965 Ford Ranchero with a small V-8 that I have always maintained myself. I have owned it since 1972 and it runs like a Swiss watch. It also gets 21-22 mpg. I also have a 2008 Toyota with a V-6 that is computer controlled. I can't do anything to the engine. It idles with a slight tremor and gets 14-16 mpg with a smaller engine.
I would not hesitate to drive my Ranchero across the country from Ohio to Ca. and back ! The Toyota ? I have my doubts that it would make it one way. Plus with it I could not afford Bidet's gas. It would actually cost me less to fly round trip.
My 59 year old Ranchero runs better than my 2008 Toyota.
I call them "c" you later clips. When they go flying across the shop " c you later clip"
Another enjoyable video. when you put that part in backwards, it sparked my memory. I used to be a mechanic in the Army back in the day and I swapped out a pinion gear in a rear axle and when I put it back in, I had it backwards. so wound up with 3 gears in reverse and only one forward!. hmmm? that was back in 1960 and it still hurts haha.The joys of youth and enthusiasm!. thanks for sharing ECF
Thanks again, Pete! Have a great day!
Pete my friend, you make it look so easy.Thank you.
Thank you for sharing Pete, I really appreciate your time and effort into making these videos.
The clutch pack on the PTO unit is remarkably similar to the clutch pack on the old Ford Motel T transmission. Multiple clutch discs along with a heavy spring connecting the engine output to the driveshaft for high gear.
Always good to see things going back together.
I always enjoy your videos. Very informative even though I will never work on any tractors. Thanks
PETE,, thank u for having the patience of explaining it all to us , it is very interesting to watch you talk to them parts [ lol ]
Amazes me how all this engineering was done in a time period--long before CAD and computers. More so guys like Pete who can tear them apart, fix it, make his own jigs, and reassemble (probably with no parts left over) and make it run. Very cool. Thank you for the education and sharing your life journey.
Another great video, Pete.
Your style is perfect, IMHO. You always seem to strike the perfect balance of info and entertainment. You are like the neighbor we love to hang with. I never foresee a time when I would rebuild a tractor, but I'm fascinated watching you do it. Thanks for the great content.
You need to consider going into restoring tractors with your knowledge.And expertise it is great
Really look forward to these types of videos. Learn a lot by watching them.
I didn’t get a chance to comment on the last video sir. But I love your content. If you need to stop then do so but know people like me love watching your day to day work and your videos like this. As someone who wants to homestead and farm I find these videos great. But also helpful.
You are intrinsically part of the American spirit and represent a teacher in a large movement in America for people like me who feel society took from us the chance to be what our grandparents where.
And are working toward a return to the type of simpler more fulfilling life like you do.
You do more for us then a comment or like can ever explain. And you are appreciated more then you will ever know.
Acknowledge the amount of time and effort in the editing, highly appreciated. Inspiring. Now, back out to my 2003 x5s.
Pete, thanks for videos. I stumbled upon your u-tube channel a few months back . I grew up on a dairy farm in central Minnesota with a rainbow of different color tractors, but the Farmall line up was an is still my favorite! I have learned SO much from your videos, not just about the IH brand, but about how you approach life and its challenges . God has truly blessed you and your family!
Always learn something new in each video. Thank you for making and sharing these adventures
This tractor is getting a good going over.😊
Whoever designed and made this tractor must really enjoyed puzzles and Lego. 🤷♀️
Wow what a video. Those who design and built those tractors were and are smart. Tip of the hat to them all.
Pete, what a great episode. Your way of ‘splainin’ things really enthralled me. I believe, if I ever get a tractor I could use this vid to strip, then reassemble a Farmall 856. Thanks, Pete. You’re a gem!
Really enjoying your videos. It’s incredible the knowledge you have of these tractors. With guys like you around, these tractors will run forever. Also appreciate your demeanor, very enjoyable listening to how you explain everything.
Pete thanks for sharing this great video hardly any one puts this much effort in teaching how to do things and I appreciate it bud that spring press tool you made was a awesome idea im definitely gonna build me one
Thoroughly enjoyed the assembly of this section of the tractor..
The engineering required to design and manufacture these units boggles my mind. Love watching; my twenty year old cars are running much better these days, if only from the inspiration I get from fwatching these videos. They get me into action every time.
This is an awesome series Pete keep moving along you're doing a great job
Great job Pete. If I knew that there was money to be made watching people work, I would have made millions. I did very similar work for decades as a marine engineer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I love watching your videos working on your tractors.
WOW, these videos are fun to watch. I am envious of your knowledge and patience. Thanks for sharing it all!
Great job Pete, on almost getting the Farmall 856 put-back-together.. some parts-some love-and some more money..
This was a great start to my day. Very interesting.
Thank you very much.
Just think, that tractor will be working in the next century. Great teaching moments with your work.
Wow! It’s amazing how complex this process is! Thanks Pete!
That may have been your best yet editing job. Excellent explanations. I am always amazed by our engineering and mechanical history. Tractors/ cars/ airplanes. How it all applies to your farming is really fascinating. Love it, Pete.
Thanks again for getting mucky for the rest of us, clarifying the minutia of what could be considered complex.
Pete your a wealth of knowledge!I appreciate you taking your time to explain the process.
It's unreal of the vast of knowledge you have. I've learned alot from you. Thank You
Awesome work, Pete. Thanks for letting me look over your shoulder.
Pete you’re creating a memorialization of this tractor for future owners and home mechanics, thanks for keeping the series going, enjoying each one and I’m motivated to get a 856, let me know if you see one for sale!
Hi Pete my name is Steve both my wife Rachel and myself really enjoy your channel ! Your calm and joy for your life feeds our hunger and enjoyment for our farm life we have a small farm in Portugal and have been watching your videos since day one we love your attitude and input towards our small venture,?please carry on being just Pete along with your lovely wife and children you bring so much to our enjoyment of our life here and we always look forward to your videos and your Christmas cracker jokes please don’t change and don’t listen to the trolls that exist in your life. To finish thank you so very much for being just Pete. Much love to the whole Pete family and we look forward to many more insights into your positive and vert entertaining fly on the wall videos. P.s love the tractor overall videos 👍👍👍👍👍
Happy Sunday everyone! Time to sit back and relax while watching the progress on the tractor re-build. Enjoy!
Thank you for the lesson Pete you're a great teacher
Pete…I truly enjoy watching everything you create and truly appreciate all the hard work you put into creating content. I just wanted to say thank you so much!
I am glad I am not the only one that has to do things twice when assembling an item lol. Uncle Pete you are the best! I love watching your videos, I hope you have a great day!
I enjoy watching you work at putting life back into your RED tractors!
I would consider you restoring my tractor
This is an excellent series,thanks
Your work is awesome thanks Pete.
Pete , I would call it a snap retaining ring !
I can't imagine what the cost would be if you had a company overhaul the work that you are doing! Thank goodness Hillary is helping! LOL Deo Gratias
Pete I must say I am quite impressed with your mechanical knowledge!!
Here’s to another wonderful lesson brought to you by Pete 😎☕️👊
Pete, I really appreciate all the effort you put into your channel.
I NEVER dreamed a farm tractor was this complicated! More involved than automotive powertrains!!😮
Hello Pete, very very nice and good information Video!!!!!😊👌👌👌👌👌👌.M.v.g.Simon Lich Oostwold Oldambt Netherlands
I do not live on a farm. I have never owned a tractor. I have no idea what you are talking about. But boy do I love watching these videos! Thank you for making them. 😊
Hahaha. Same here.😂
This is by far the best channel for real learning. Thanks Pete
Thanks for taking us along, so many parts!
Hi Pete, Hilarie and JAFAF. Missed your videos this week. Hope everything running well for you. ❤
Another great video Pete. Even though I don't have that shade of red tractor watching your detailed and in depth explanation of those hydraulic clutches powering the PTO and brakes does give me insight into the inner workings of my PTO and brake mechanism on my "off brand" red and blue tractors. I know they are probably assembled slightly different but the fundamentals I think would be very similar. I'm eagerly awaiting the next episode in this series.
You're good at this stuff ... it's very informative watching you ... thanks for your time and effort.
I’m enjoying the rebuild, I really like the tool you made to depress the spring, simple and effective.
It's not that I AM SLOW it's just that I am slow.

MIDNIGHT AT NIAGARA FALLS
Dad and I now have a restoration of a 1486 planned for this coming winter. We have the manuals, but I tremendously appreciate your walkthrough style videos with your explanations.
Another awesome video Pete I love them
Hi Pete! 👋, about the clutch plates on the PTO, where do you get your parts from, I’m just curious because im eventually gonna fix up an old 1466 I have that’s been on my dads sawmill for the past 14 years and the PTO is probably destroyed now, so I’d like to fix it, thanks have a good day
" . . . a procedure that needs to be conveyed verbally." This implies that text and images are inadequate or difficult to create. Interesting dichotomy.
Again…I like it a lot….it really isn’t an instruction video ….more of an information and more clip…AMSR plus plus plus if you will….even though someone could take this and do the work…slugs like me just enjoy knowing all the intricate details…..really just my eclectic interests but I call it a character defect..lol……same with how Pete does the farming videos….the philosopher pharmer -eh? …not my bag baby but it’s probably just me and I can fast forward through those segments on this channel……thanks for taking us along…….
Pete, I have a question. How does the PTO maintain a constant RPM, e.g., 540 or 1000? Does the operator need to maintain a constant engine RPM, or is there another mechanism? Thanks.
Hey Pete, I have been watching a few videos tonight. You repaired the church clock, you worked on a tractor, and you celebrated 9 years since you left your job. All were good. I have an idea that you are uniquely able to tackle in a video format: common 2x6 and fibreglass, straw bales and plaster, or cord-wood construction. Which do you feel are appropriate for use in household construction? Thank you.
I don't think I could ever do this sort of job. I would have to many parts left over. LOL! Kudo's to you Pete. That reminds me of that old Car Talk episode where Click or Clack said that if you rebuild a VW Beetle enough times you will eventually have enough left over parts to build another VW Beetle.
