- I found a really unique Farmall tractor that has been swapped with a chevy 350 and Gm 4 speed. It hasn't run in years so I'm going to try get it running again and actually drive it home!

"The camshaft's grinding it own profile...we'll leave it alone and see what it comes up with..." I was on the floor!
Golden, a guy got a good hoot outta that XD
@@Avetho Moses Sandals! You bet I did!
Came here for this comment!😂
😆 Unfortuantely it never ends up to be a high performance grind.
@@davelowets Yeah they always seem to regrind themselves into no performance grind where the lift of the lob is equal to or below the base circle of the cam
A guy really likes these videos.. so I did the right thing, and clicked it right away. A guy could skip around, nope probably not, ya gotta watch ALL of the video...greeeeaaate.
Nice to see you here Hornet king! Love your channel man!!
@@allnonsensewrenching Thanks for watching! I love Derek's videos!
Maybe a short break for adult beverages
@@HornetKingOfficial I do too! I'm also very fascinated with wasps and Hornets. I have learned alot of facts from you. Thank you on many levels!
Grab a couple or three wobble pops and watch it all.
A farmer who worked with me, build a similar tractor in the early eighties. His had an automatic transmission behind the engine. It would downshift during a hard pull. He had dual wheels on the back. Amazingly the original transmission survived plowing fields for years while running with all that power.
Derek is the Bob Ross of modern day car repair videos! The guy is absolutly soothing with that perfect touch of humor! Keep up the amazing work!
Happy little smallblocks
Yes...!
A feller's just gonna say it... We all love you Derek. Humour, Expertise, Entertainment, and just sheer Class. Thanks so much for making us smile ☺ 👍🏻
We watch an old fashioned fella doing a necessary old time thing. Working on your own crap, man how far we’ve fallen.... in the world after the reset guys like Derrick will be kings.
Yup I couldn't have said it better,, Plus,,,put him on TV
@@johnnyvanderheide2298 well I'm doing the old time thing but love watching Derek. He's in US stuff and I'm in european stuff. Always something to learn :D
My son's nickname is Rosco... wonder why
GGrreeaaaaat!!( Probably knot 🪢
Nothing makes a guy happier then when he's having a cold snack and he gets a ding-a-ling saying V8 4 speed swapped tractor and who could guess it's from VGG! Love the episodes!
Cold snack or frosted barely pop 🤔
When the bells from the tambourine kicked in at just after the 45min mark I thought he was bringing in the fresh prince intro!!! Anyone else?
As was probably
@@johnnyvanderheide2298🎉😂
Two years later now, and Bentley looks so much different! A beautiful day, and you got the top down, workin' on the farmer tan!
I sure would like to know what ever became of this old tractor. Looked like a good fixer upper.
it would haul rice in arkansas
This is why farmers are some of my favorite people. From time to time, they engineer up some mighty fine conglomorations, such as this here jewel!
My uncle made a custom loader out of an old combine it worked like a dream
@@edisenscore1494 What! That's like making a boat out of a tricycle! How the heck did he do that?
@@randallsmerna384 he took the cab off an old combine and put one frame from the combine on top of itself and acquired some hydraulic booms and hooked them up to the bucket he then set the engine in to power the front wheels and kept the rear wheel steering it was a sight to behold
I put a 6-cylinder turbodiesel from a Volkswagen in my Nuffield tractor :) I think i posted some test runs on my channel.
Farmers are engineers without degrees.
I swear every time i watch this guy fixing something melts all my stress away.
100% - He's really one of a kind 👌🏻
I have always stressed myself while working in my shop. I think VGG is showing me how to keep my cool, instead of throwing my wrenches against the wall.
It's kind of like when a job is fighting me and no matter what I do seems to be helping, I'll start thinking that these inanimate objects are doing it to me on purpose.
@@mcanderson3511 Not alone. This guy is a therapist,, an a whole lot cheaper than the couch type.
Gotta say the guy who built it did a fine job considering all the combobbery that had to be performed for the swap! Some detail work on the wiring, and maybe some finesse on the custom hood, would clean it up nicely. Don't know why I didn't see this come up a year ago. But I sure enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
An actual filtrator unit may be useful. That would help the groovage in the cylinders. You know, keep the dirt and sparrows out, that sort of thing.
Still the best channel on TH-cam.
Keep them coming Derek
agree
I agree also
Agree!
I wish we could talk Derek into saving a semi. That would be neat to be see him build a hauler for independence
Maybe he could go into the storied deep bushlands of British Columbia, and revive one of the forlorn/cast-off former logging rigs so often featured by the TH-camr known as Skadill. One of those old Hayes, Pacifics, or Kenworths would seem to have more than enough grunt to tote a passenger car on their back, much like an oxpecker bird hitchin' a ride on a rhinoceros.
Wholeheartedly agree
@@QuadMochaMatti I k k
He WILL need a car-hauler soon, at this rate.
One of them old rounderish hood/fender Mack would make A Guy a pretty slick hauler.. Late 60's variiety maybe?
Wow, Derek, I've been around, but I've *_never_* seen a fella' perform mouth-to-mouth on a tractor. Truly impressive.
If this ain’t the BEST channel in the universe a feller ever seen…… then nothin is. I love this!!!! Thank you Derek and Family!!! Thank you GOD!!!!
"You don't need em all right, that's why there's eight" LOL You come up with something new every time!
old L6 can run on 2 cylinders and still have power to drive small truck in 2nd gear. not for long ofc. bought a truck and it had busted head gasket between 2-3 and 4-5
@@user-uk5bx1kz2k WOW that's crazy!
My Brother-in-law had a ‘66 Cadillac Limo that NEVER ran on all 8! Sometimes it ran on as few as 3! I towed him home many times!! Once the only vehicle I had available was my ‘78 Chevette!! Now that was a sight to behold!!
Theres sketchy, and then there's 30 MPH on those tires! A feller's braver than I would have thought! Thanks for sharing! 🇨🇦
Thsts what I was thinking, that tractor factory up and running great would do about 15mph. I'm not sure how fast it would go in od on both transmissions, but its a safe bet that it would be way faster than the tires and axel bearings can safely operate.
You fellars musta missed the tyre kick which checked the precision balancing for optimal wheel spinnage. VGG certified for all the beans.
@@codylapoint I was thinking about those bearings!! Thinking they are probably pretty HOT going that fast.
@@codylapoint The four speed up front still only has a 1:1 final drive in fourth, so it can only slow 'er down, not speed it up...the extra RPMs from the 350 would give a speed boost, though. The old H motors were 1650 RPM, pretty sure that 350 can turn a bit more. :-D
@@lonewolfworks Road gear on an H is pretty scary with that narrow front, sloppy steering and mechanical brake linkage. I usually stayed in 4th, mine jumped out of 5th anyway.
I forgot how funny this episode was, had to watch it again. Good Job Mr.
You know, I've come to realize that Derek's job is to say to himself "What semi-impossible engine-resurrection/driving task would make me the most miserable?" and then do exactly that for views. It's a weird kind of masochism, but I respect it.
Honestly, if I was even half as interesting to watch & witty with the one liners as Derek is, I'd be doing this for a living myself. It is a strange thing to watch from the outside but when a guy understands on old junk and hoarding thereof, it's actually great fun even when we're miserable cold wet and walking to get fuel or a hot battery.
phycho babble ramblings from a femenistic who knows nothing about a mans world!!!except she will grow old alone without kids and realise at 60 she wasted her life!!!!! great job feminists of the USA, may u rest in peace very soon
the one liners are absolutely incredible.
"Well I'll be dipped"
Liked video but your dripping gas on your battery charger
Hotter Then 90's Shania Twain In A 2 Piece...
He kills me every vid lol
His patter is priceless...
Best episode in a while. Now you gotta explain the barn you put it in and what all those other projects are ...
i was wondering the same thing.
All I can say is that left front one is a Studebaker.
Can’t be sure , but I think that Camaro was outside Cleetus,s old shop?
@@BobPegram yes, a 47, 48, pre-bullet nose I believe. There's also a Corvair with a stars and stripes paint scheme in there.
@@CR7659 I knew there was a reason why I only recognized the back of it!
BAHAHA!! "the cam shaft is grinding its on profile. Who knows what it'll come up with, it could be good." GOLD!!
The heater core rajiators is a pretty nifty idea.
"You don't need them all right, that's why there's eight." Tune-up wisdom for the ages.
The amount of drag races won by V6.5s and V7s is astonishing!
You bet. My dad had a 77 Caddy that a rocker arm broke (common issue on the 425); he ran that sucker for several months on 7 cylinders, that big ol engine didn't care.
Hey! I know that tractor! Grew up seeing it in parades and I'm pretty sure a time or two at the local tractor pull. Original builder lives up the road from me a bit
Yeaaahhhhh. Ok
@@mattmaly5085 It is possible.
Likely, no.
The tractor was built in the foley/gilman area where I've lived and farmed for the last 35 years. If you think I'm full of shit that's your own problem i guess lol... Derek knows where he bought it from so you'll only look stupid if he sees the comments lmao
**I CONSIDER MYSELF VERY LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND DEREK'S CHANNEL = IT'S NOT EVERY DAY A FELLA GETS TO WITNESS A TRUE GENIUS @ WORK = THIS IS MY FIRST & ONLY = I'LL KEEP ON WATCHING THE EINSTEIN OF ENGINES HAVE HIS FUN!!!**
**THANK YOU LORD FOR BLESSING US ALL WITH YOUR MAN DEREK!!!**
"When in doubt just apply brute force." He's gonna grow up to be another fine VGG.
Your boys hit the father jackpot. Awesome to see them come along with you on your adventures.
“The cam is grinding it own profile!” Too funny!!
welcome to the glitter party....
Definitely increases the MiPeGs.
Lol'd at that one for sure
It is its own machine shop.
Im dying im laughing so. Hard
This man is a national treasure
I have got to say o finally found something on TH-cam worth watching .I've got to say it's nice to see a man whose got a good partner to walk through this life with.After 36 years and two failed Marriages the loss of two homes one of those on 20 acres the loss of one of those on 20 acres and thousands of dollars I to have found mine.Keep up the good work my brother thanks for all you do for us
Glad to see your kid having interest, in saving the automotive history, and in this case the agricultural side!
"Oh shes got some heft....goodness."
...Sounds like my Friday nights 😅
😂😂😂😂😂
Now I know where my wife’s been running off to.
@@chrisestill8825 😅 i live in a town called Carrying Place..where you don't lose your wife, you just lose your turn! 😆
Them cast iron gals need love too lol
Go big early.... beat the rush, i always say.
Woe ! The Kid really knows how to pull Spark-a-lators ! The right way ! 💯
I thought I was the only one that pulled them thata way. 😀
A feller grew up cutting grass with an ole Farmall, great memories that’ll last a lifetime ❤
*touches the radiator* “Whoops wrong hand, can’t feel that one”😆
Hope your hand is alright Derek. Love your videos!
Can’t wait for the next one. Take care!
I burned my hands on a stove as a kid and I find random burns on them all the time because I can no longer feel pain in my palms
@@Wesleystewart78 yikes! That’s too bad😕
@@Wesleystewart78 I did the same thing
It takes awhile for me to feel any thing cold or hot
Enable-DiagnosticDataViewing
my cousins hands were so calloused and damaged than he couldn't feel his kid kick when his wife was pregnant.
Greatest words a man can hear from their son/grandson: "Can I help you work on that?" Excellent.
14:05 -- His young assistant handled that socket wrench like a pro.
My dad had a farm all h and c I was his tractor mechanic and I loved every single minute of it. He's gone now I miss him very much but seeing you and your son working on the tractor together makes my heart ❤️ smile.
“Derek, the old American engine whisperer”.
I like the way he diagnoses just by listening for what the noises are, where from, what’s the quality of sound & possible meanings.
In my own small way, I’m like that with Japanese multi cylinder two cycle bike engines, and there’s a surprisingly long list of stuff that can go wrong with them, despite the low number of moving parts.
I’m over fussy, and looking back, I don’t think that’s been a good call at all.
So, watching Derek’s entire attitude to things is refreshing.
“Good enough for the girls we date” is my favourite. Wonder if he says that within arm swinging distance of Jessica?
Love the fact that you’re safe and ensured to check Neutralis every time . Way to be a great example ! I know many people who got severely hurt because it was in gear
If a Fella hadn't told ya they Love Ya today, I just did! Thank you Derek for removing me (us) from this chaotic World we live in, if only for a Moment in Time...
🙏🙏🙏
So awesome having your son helping! Priceless! I appreciate your skill and humor!
Hanging out with your kid and doing what you love. Is priceless
The drive home was one of the most action packed, epic drives I've ever witnessed.
A guy might get jealous.
A feller found that there was sooo much content in this odyssey, that he had to give his think box and his peepers a rest a few times and break it down into bite-size pieces to chomp on, or to make it easier to pick up what a guy was laying down. All-in-all, it was a most enjoyable viewing experience - Glad to see you made it back safely and intact!
My brother, Con, put a V8 IH combine motor in a W6 IH tractor. What a beast it turned out to b be!!
Seeing you work with your boy reminds me of times with my dad and grandad from when I was a kid. Those are the best memories.
Definitely need to see more on this rig.
Derek, if you can pull together a video on reading plugs that would be pretty cool.
He mentioned it in one of them and if I’m not mistaken I think it was the one where he worked on the v8 snow mobile. Maybe I’m wrong though!
It's very simple to read spark plugs mini videos on the internet on it
If you can find a good book for auto repair and maintenance from the 1970s or some better shop manuals they'll have good guides on reading plugs. Better if it has color photos. Often the black and white photos or worse the two color illustrations are difficult to get a feel for it from, but sadly that's most of the books and shop manuals. Someone might have something decent on the interwebs. It's a matrix of photos of plugs in different conditions with a description of what each one means.
@drivecam101 I remember every Haynes manual always had a color plug reading chart on the inside face of the back cover.
I had an old Hanes manual for my 76 Honda Civic back in '84 and it had a color section on reading plugs... Never quite knew back then how important it was but I do recall it.
What a great combination: Farmall + Chevy V8. I learned to drive a tractor on dad's '46 H back in the '50s. Spent a lot of time riding that old horse, plus his M and 450. They were a very reliable and versatile tractor. Grandpa and my uncles all had an H at one time. Today I own a 1948 H with a Heisler 9-speed (overdrive); works like a charm. Well, I hope you have it purring like a kitten and doing "hold-shots". Thanks for the ride.
Brought back some great memories! A guy I worked for at a machine shop took an F20 rear end and hooked a big block chevy motor and a big automatic trans. It would go from a creep to like really fast. It had headers that looked like yours! Fun!!
I watched this sitting on our Farmall A in my shed! Thanks Derek for another great revival.
We have a Super A and a Super C back home!
Not only a learning channel for people but also a comedian! This guy loves the channel. Always great content bud!
Messin with old stuff on a beautiful day and takin a slower pace home....simply heaven
Excellent! Vice Grip Garage drove by my "old" house....It's a small, small world....
Hey Derek! I love these kinds of videos! This is the stuff that keeps a guy coming back
Yep. Me too. Might be one of your best projects.
A guy surely appreciates fellers like you, you are a very unique and special gentleman and obviousy a devoted family man. God bless you and your kin folk Derick.
To answer your question Derek, PartsMaster oil filters are the value line of AutoValue parts stores in Michigan and the Midwest. They are manufactured by Wix, your favorite! You can interchange their filters to a Wix air / fuel / oil by changing the 1st digit of any of their filters. In your case the 1st digit is now a 5. If you ever need Wix filters in Michigan, now you know. :)
I was gonna say pretty much the same thing, but in the south they come from Bumper to Bumper.
I love this. There's a guy near me who swapped a 426 Mopar motor into an Allis Chalmers. Straight pipes.
Mr. Douglas, Mr. Haney, Zeb, and Arnold the Pig would be Damn Proud! Damn Proud! Keep up the good work.
Tested rigs are for city fellas. I like the way You just get it running and put it on the cap! 🦅🇺🇸🦅
Farmer-tech can be awesome and Derek taps into his roots.
A guy is new here and from Australia , definitely like sitting in my favourite chair and watching a master do what they best 👌 reminds me of my grandfather, you seem to take a fairly hard job and make it seem a heck of alot easier then it should be ! Keep up the great stuff fella !!
This is honestly one of the best videos I've seen in the last 13.7 years: entertaining, educational, some other "e" word... extravagant?.. no, excellent?? That sounds good, excellent! Anywho, videos like this are the reason I subscribe to your channel! Thanks for making me smile, and congrats on getting the old gal home, a job well done!
What video did you see 13.7 years ago?
\🇧🇳🇨🇲🇬🇷
A guy really likes ending a Friday night on vgg channel!
I'll have a cold snack to that
I drove my first 8N home a similar distance. The camera fails to convey how terrifying a tractor is at any type of speed! I wore a wide rimmed hat and still got sunburned and almost heat stroke! Thanks for sharing Derek. Now I'm thinking about the split 8N on marketplace with it's engine in pieces! How about a TBi vortec V6 8N?
I really like that your youngest is getting interested in helping. It gives me hope for the future.
This is the video I have been waiting my entire life for but didn’t realize it until now.
A perfect video Derek, the only thing missing was the Green Acres theme song while you were riding home, LOL!
I loved that show and I live in Australia was on when I was a little fella
A guy was scrolling through his ole suggestions and saw this video. Soooo I did the right thing and clicked on it. Graaaaate
I've only seen the intro and I absolutely love it already! Spent a good part of my childhood operating a wide front H in the fields.
Hey Derek, did you ever find the carb to the studebaker??
Man I’m so happpy I discovered this channel a few years back. Hands down one of my favs. I watch every single video. Keep it up brotha. I love the content more and more everyday.
THANK YOU for uploading this video, so cool 😎 I remember sitting on my grandpa's old 1930's Case tractor pretending I was drag racing it, this tractor is fulfilling my childhood dream!!!
This man I've never met is literally my background noise when I am working or working on my website. Not sure how listening to someone go through these vehicles can be as relaxing and awesome as it is. Side note. Buddy reminds me a little of Dawson from BigDawsTV. This is definitely one of my favorite channels. I learn a lot.
Every time Derrick uploads I get excited like I found a cold snack I didn’t know I had in the fridge
😂🤣😂🤣
he is a perfect human im from michigan and he makes me happy we need that in these days a guy is thinking =
This is my favorite channel on TH-cam now. Me and the kids have been binge watching it from the beginning and the laughs just keep coming. Thank you for what you do, Derek, keep it up!
I get a smile everytime I watch you videos thank you for sharing keep doing the great work you're doing love the content and especially you getting your kids involved as well as your wife
A Guy can't help but smile, When "BRING THE THUNDER" ends in resounded silence...Your resolute doggedness in pursuit of yer goals is what makes America Great...!...
Hey Derek! A guy and his wife are really grateful to you for your extremely informative videos and the abundant supply of laughter you cause. She and I are constantly using your expressions in our everyday conversations. As I said before, you are a real treasure.
When you're riding past the fields does the tractor think I would plow that?
Yeah, if only inanimate objects could think. 😲
Derek this was a great video after my siblings got done with my mom's farm and her estate I drove my 1953 Farmall M.. 15 mi to its new home where we moved brought back memories watching you do this
absolutely brilliant ~! one of the best Ive seen for a long time ! and a superb showcase for your beautiful country home area
Sure do appreciate all you do to keep us folks laughing and entertained Derek. This is my absolute favorite channel because you’re such a good feller and damn funny.
"Thank God I'm a country boy!!" is all I gotta say.
I just love the way you inspected this old rig!
Blast my cap when u tasted oil...
tHIS IS THE FIRST PROGRAM I WATCHED WHEN IT CAME OUT
Hey Derek, that gray paste you found in the sediment bowl - that's the result of ethanol fuel and whatever type of pot metal they used to make the sediment bowl housing. It more/less starts dissolving it. Will plug a fuel system up solid.
Thanks. I found something similar recently, but thought something rubber was coming apart. I'll have to look in the tank to see what's being destroyed.
Thanks to Jessica and your youngest for coming along and fending off the speedsters.
Good job, I counted all the trix u use to make er go, and realized shoot I know how to do that, I did this at 15 and again at 22 in the army, making stuff run.. thanks for the encouragement, and the memories. PS I'm 67 years old next month. It's nice to know I did it correctly. 😉😆
Hope we see this tractor again . Hopefully running in top form . A 350 horse power tractor is every American farm boys dream 😂
My grandfather had one of these. His dad bought it for him as a "welcome home from the war" gift. I got to drive it when he used it as a pipe trailer. Super awesome.
Nice homecoming gift
@@ANOCKS Sure was. It still runs and is still in the family, too.
Absolutely fascinating video, Derek is an incredibly intelligent man and the bonus is that he has a great sense of humour. Perfect 👍
I have to agree with you 100% im assuming his daddy taught him how to work on vehicles the simple approach is the best. I wish my father had taught me what he knew. He grew up on a farm so he had to know something. I know thats where I learn a lot about what I know, my brother knows had a farm.
You are hilarious. You remind me of our antics getting our equipment working for the week and then we can fix it on the weekend. this time we mean it.😉
In 1965, my dad bought a old Farmall-International tractor, and I got to drive it all the way home. It was 35 miles at 12 mph. I was 14, and it was a great day for me.
No matter your project, you never disappoint. Keep saving that old iron!
I love these videos where you show driving down rural roads. Makes a guy feel like he's been there without having to leave his house.
Love your content it keeps me interested all the way through even the times you are driving down the highway keep it coming
OMG, look at the cupping on the rear tires when he finally rolls into the garage! 47:26 Derek, I'm just happy you made it safely.
