I've seen some people question the time put into rebuilding farm machinery on several tractor videos. I grew up on 400 acres or so that was leased out to cattle and sheep, for the most part, so my 12 to 17 hour days, 6 days a week, were as a paid laborer on another farm in the summers from 8th grade through college. My boss was a fair and hard working man who loved his kids and never had problems with equipment (other than what some bailing wire would take care of until winter and more time to do a real fix). After putting his fields to rest for the winter, he spent each working day going through each piece of equipment making sure everything that could be done was done to ensure long life and reliability. By the time spring came, everything was beautiful and ran smoothly. Each year he seemed to add another thing that he had purchased at a deep discount that would benefit his growing farm. Because of his diligence he continued to purchase and lease more land around him so his hardware needs grew. After getting his current fleet "perfect" he would then dig into the new piece of equipment. Each was normally done by spring. He would sell off his "perfected" smaller or older one and move forward with the larger and/or more modern device. Unlike some neighbors who spent the winters skiing, he invested each day. Work always stopped when his girls showed up and they all learned to have fun turning wrenches and finding the grease points. I've yet to meet a man who had a better relationship with his girls. They spent hours talking in the shop. He also got to know all of their boyfriends as he would hire them because of his "desperate need" for help to get that old thing ready for spring. I've yet to meet a man who knew the boys dating his girls like this man did. He changed the vectors of their lives. Even the ones who did not end up as husbands.
Awesome truth, I had a similar experience as a teenager in PA. God bless these amazing men!
Great story Mine was a ww 2 vet spent many days around him he owned a 160 acre farm hogs and milk cows small dairy operation.
Interesting and well written story that Ken. Thanks for sharing :)
I never have and probably never will take a tractor apart. But it sure was interesting to watch! Thanks, Pete!
"This battery has a Go Handle," Pete with the low key nod to Vice Grip Garage. Awesome!
I admire your ability to take this all a part . I get anxiety just watching 😂. I would forget where it all came from . I can see where these videos can help others working on this type of tractor , and the knowledge you're sharing is great .
As long as you don't end up with spare parts....😅
My thoughts exactly.
It gets actually pretty easy since most of the parts are big so easy to remeber and you can always take loads of pictures just to be sure.
Oh I got the go handle reference. I too must like watching old things being brought back to life.
I love how you talk to your tractor like you talk to your cows and pigs😃
Buddy, you talk to your Farmall with the same voice that you talk to your little pigs. This may be my favorite video. Can't wait to see the rest of the transmission. Thank you.
The adventures begin Pete. All thought we aren’t there in person, we are in spirit watch your progress. Thank you and Merry Christmas
That’s well said.
Eeeeed
Such a pleasure to see you relishing getting stuck in to this winters project.
Like digging into Farmall history. The disassembly was done more than once in the past by most farmers. The over the winter project.
Goodluck putting her back together pete!!!!!!😀😀😀😀👌👌👌👌👌
I so enjoy using a torch to get them stubborn dog on nuts and bolts apart my dad taught me that 40 years ago working on outboards and I passed it down to everybody that I know
I love this series. it got me to start watching you and I don't regret it whatsoever!
What’s the best Christmas present in the world?
A broken drum, you just can’t beat it.
Love the “Go Handle” reference! Perfect
I recall the problem last year getting the sediment bowl on. I believe this winter series will be very interesting.
You are absolutely right! Winter is good weather for some machinery repairs!
Love this video. Papa owned a Skee-ball and Arcade. He taught me (a girl) the mechanics of how skee-ball works. In high school, girls were not allowed to take car mechanics class & I would have loved it. I had to take sewing; which is good knowledge too, but not the same. Lol
Vice Grip Garage reference with the go-handle... Love it!
Great start to a new rebuild. Thanks Pete
So cool to watch you work on these tractors. My husband and I just love your channel
Pete, Vice Grip Garage would be proud of that go handle!
Rewatching this... I really wish i could reach back in time and tell ya to pull that valve cover...
Still cool to rewatch Pete
Yes, I enjoyed it thanks. Really looking forward to this workshop series.
More involved than I remember to disassemble. Good thing for the manual with the breakdown.... ha
This is the only reason to look forward to the start of winter. Merry Christmas to all of your family and viewers.
Can’t wait to spend the winter with you watching the rebuild. Fun stuff
That's a lot of remembering to where things go back!!
I have been waiting all year for these videos I’m excited
Fun fun fun. I've split tractors that have a cab and that's a lot of work. When I worked for John Deere as a mechanic they only paid us 6 hours to split a tractor.
Merry Christmas to the entire family and everyone else watching
A fella just gets excited when he see's a battry with a go handle.
The Tractor Whisperer. 😉 Merry Christmas to you and the family, Pete. 🎅
Oh yes! We waited all year for this. I subscribe to the the Sobkowiak idea that if you expect to fail the first time on a farm project then you won't be too disappointed. If it was all easy it would be boring my friend. Personally I'm trying to get an old GT 3000 garden tractor running for my small orchard. The gas cap broke and was funneling pure refreshing pacific northwest rain into the tank and now the carb is full of some sort of microbrew. Heh. Maybe I'm in the wrong business.
👍Happy Holidays to you and your family
Love your “shop” videos. I work on some of my farm equipment at my timber farm, but nothing like you. You have skills, my friend
I love this time of year! Your repair videos are great.
Yes, enjoyed watching the video. Thanks 👽
It's got the "Go Handle," #VGG hilarious
Thank You, Merry Christmas and God Bless You and Your Family!! 😊❤⚘🎄
Good stuff I've driven them never seen the inside of them,looking forward to next video 👍👍👍👍
Brings back some wonderful memories, Pete. Thank you for sharing.
Yay!!! A shop video! I love these, Pete. You just made my day.
Can't wait to see it done.Merry Christmas to you and family.
Yes! I love your mechanical videos! Thanks for continuing them Pete😊
Great shows thanks for sharing and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Gods blessings for you all
Good to see you Pete. Have a good day.
I'm very excited to see you working on the MD again! Merry Christmas Pete and family!
When all else fails, resort to the "fire wrench" LOL
Awesome video! Educational…entertaining…. Can’t wait for the split & what you find inside!
Good morning Pete!! This was a very welcome, and enjoyable start to my Day!! One just never knows what they’ll find opening up something for the first time in years. It will be interesting to see as you go through it!! Have a great day Pete!!
U are a smart man....keep the video's coming
Watching this makes us respect all that goes into getting food to our tables. Thanks for sharing, Pete.
I love your videos. Learning the old school mostly forgotten ways of things. I've learned and remembered so much of when I was little. Thanks Mr. Pete.
You're such a handy man to have around. Videos like this are good brain food. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for sharing. 😊☺
Nice video Pete! I liked the Badgers shirt and the nod to VGG with the battery go handle.
I really enjoy these videos Pete. I hope you continue to record them and share them on your channel. I am always a little disappointed when each video comes to an end. I would certainly enjoy longer videos but I know how much work it can be with the filming and editing that goes into each video. Thank you again for taking the time to share this with us. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.
I have been enjoying your videos throughout the year. Thank you for inviting us along on your journey at Just A Few Acres Farm. Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🇺🇸🚜👍🎁🎄⛄️
Its awesome to see you working on the MD, good luck to you and I hope to see an awesome outcome of this project.
Seemed like yesterday when you tackled the engine. Thank you for all your superb and uplifting videos this year. God bless you and yours. Merry Christmas from Hampshire UK.
Dear Pete - Thank You for all the videos during the year , every time I’m notified there is a new video to watch it makes my day . I think a lot of your viewers find that it takes them to a different place . Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family ❤️🇨🇦🎅🏻
Pete, I hope you remember where everything goes when it is time to put it all back. Love your video. Can't wait 4 the next one
Wow, you are amazing! It’s truly a gift to be able to do what you do with your tractors. I find it fascinating to watch! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks for a great year of video watching. Good luck with the back half rebuild and merry Christmas to you and your family.
Keith hope you and your family have very Merry and Enjoyable Christmas. Your videos take me back lots of years
.
Now the fun begins!!
Pete, glad to see you starting phase 2 on the MD. I really enjoy these videos and see your knowledge and experience, plus as I had told you before when did the front half,I grew up with an MD and SUPPER WD6, WD9,SUPER A, so always have good feelings and fond memories of the IHC RED LINE. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
i love how i pay more attention in your videos then in my school... your videos always brighten my day idk what your doing to do that but keep doing it
Pete I’m so pleased you are doing the rear end of the MD, looking forward to this adventure.
Best of luck Pete. I will be anxiously waiting your next video. I just want to say that I absolutely enjoy your videos. I come in from working on my farm and enjoy relaxing in the evenings and watching your videos. I am usually doing about the same type of work as you. Keep on making this awesome content.
It is so much fun to watch you work on your tractors. I guess I'm n armchair mechanic at heart. I always learn something watching you work on the tractors. Merry Christmas to you, Hillary and your family. As always I thank you for your time and your videos.
Your tool repertoire is nothing short of amazing! Some of my guys will be watching from home during their Christmas vacation. They just love to watch!
Pete I am so amazed at how well you are able to setup the camera and shot the video and make it seem so seamless. Your a joy to watch. that's saying nothing about the content witch I my opinion is spot on. I truly enjoy your work. God bless you and have a very merry Christmas Pete.
Pete, always enjoy when you start into the mechanical part of farming, for it all works together for a successful farm. You and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.🎄🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎊🎈🎉🎆🎇
I am looking forward to this series. We had an "M" on our farm when I was young.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Mr. Pete!
Pete I’m so excited to have new videos on the MD. We have a Super MD that my family has had since the late 50s. I have been wanting to get it running and restore and your videos have been so useful and gave me the motivation to get it running and on track to get restored. Keep up the good work
Merry Christmas Pete, Lady H and the fam. And to a better New Year!
Another good video. Thanks Pete . Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Yes, I enjoyed the video! What I don't enjoy is all the ads TH-cam is now puttng in. Thanks Pete.
Ya'll have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Looking good Pete! I can't wait to see whats inside that Trans, and I am excited to see a nice painted tractor! I started doing my motor tear down on my pony and doing a rebuild. I hope to be as thorough as you!
Merry Christmas to you and the family hope you all have a great time
Pete you and your family have a Merry Christmas.
Had some of those troubles taking apart a 50 year old car.Always like making the old things useful again.Thanks for many good ideas.
Love this! I’d so love to be there to help and learn from you Pete. Great episode yet again 👍🏼
Lots of pieces Pete!
I don’t understand much about how to work on engines but I find this interesting.
So glad to see you get back into her after a year break... my OCD wont kick in from watching your videos next year since everything will be that nice bright red.
Merry Christmas Pete, to you and yours. Happy New Year as well.
That is talent! Had no one growing up who worked on anything mechanical so this was very interesting. Great explanation on what is happening and why.
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family Pete!
I Truly Enjoyed it, Pete, took me back to Where it All Started for me watching. I continued to watch you finish the front half of the tractor, then stayed, and have Enjoyed watching the Farm Life Videos ever since. Now A Winter Full of Rebuilding the back half. Cha-Ching
A great start. Looking forward to the next video on it
Looking forward to the work you will be doing on the tractor. By spring it will look and run like a new one. Merry Christmas.
Hi Pete, another winter Farmall major video, love them. I was here last year when you did the front end overhaul and really liked it to. I’m all aboard for this adventure too Pete. Let’s get to work.
I always enjoy watching-thanks and have a very merry Christmas from Hoboken ga
So looking forward to this. What Pete discribies As simple, is very complex to most of us. Let's dig into it Pete. Wrenches at ready!!!!
Wow, what a job. At least he has video to help remember were some of the pats go back together. I admire Pete's ability's of machanicing. Thanks for sharing. Iowa cares :)
