I don't understand my friends who say they are bored in retirement, because there's never a shortage of things to do. You will get along fine with retirement, Pete, whenever it happens.
I tried it .. after a yr I was so bored .. I did it all and ending up going out & helping my son with his business.. now I ask myself why? .. lol it's like I took another career on .. but I'm so busy I can't smell the flowers and Pete's life is my dream retirement.. I'm taking notes lol
I'm with you on that! I can't even imagine a day without a long to-do list. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't change a thing. I don't miss the '9-5' for a minute. Bored? Wow. Can't even imagine what that feels like. :-)
I for one truly enjoy your repair and restore videos, I know some people only enjoy the animal videos to each their own I guess. Come on folks, if you like maintain and repair and restore videos let Pete know, hit the like button, speak up!
There's something very satisfying about the sound of a ratchet being used. It brings back many good memories. Thank you for sharing, Pete. Have a great week!
And again my friend what a great video and learning opportunity for what you do you really know as I’ve said before what you are doing and it’s nice that you’re able to share it to people that are interested to help them doing for them self’s.
I wish there was a way to like more than once. I’m a big farmall fan, and love everything you post because I’m learning… and you are so real and honest and always tell it like it is. I love how you tell us “nubs” that it can be done, even without all the fancy tools.
I’m 63 years old been farming all my life it’s nice to know that I’m not too old to learn a few a few things my grandson and I both love watching your show. Thanks for all the new info and may God bless
Fixing a seal leak on an old tractor is a good way to spend a rainy day. The sound of the rain on the over head metal roof gives a kind of rhythm to the unbolting, prying free of parts, and the occasional puffs of fresh air blown in, is a wake up call that life is good.
Thanks Pete. I also enjoy the repair and restore videos. In fact, if you're looking for some new content, I think the governor on my 1939 T-20 crawler is in need of repair. It appears the governor thrust bearing has failed. The governor on the T-20 and your F-20 are the same. Maybe a tutorial on taking the governor apart and putting it back together would be of interest to your viewers. It would certainly help me!
Great video 📹. The good thing about running older and proper tractors is that you can always have a rainy day project or two. I run older classic tractors and machinery, so I always have rainy day projects. Keep the good content coming, with your words of wisdom and mix of content. You and hillary have a good work and reward ratio.
I love how you described preload of a bearing. I am millwright and I found your interpretation of preload to be spot on and I really appreciate your lifestyle and attention to detail.
This is the first video I watched on computer to see comments. I have been watching on the ROKU for about 2 years. Appreciate the content, it reminds me of when I was growing up. We had anywhere between 30 to 40 milk cows. I understand you are considering changing the direction you have been going but whatever direction you choose to go, your videos are of great content and good quality.
Very interesting. You're a good teacher. You don't race explanations which allows time to absorb the logic and follow procedures. That's much appreciated. 👍👍👍
Good morning Pete. As usual the hubby and I love watching all your videos, farming and tractor repairs as well. Thank you for taking time from your busy day to share your videos. 😊
I know the feeling I just removed both of the rear wheels on my loader tractor to put on new tires. I also done away with the calcium chloride and bought new rims and went back with the “the new ballast “. With my rears weighing 1600# each I really appreciate my mini excavator. Another good video 👍
Thanks Pete, I’m 60, I grew up on a pair of 400’s and always have done a lot of my own work, just wanted you to know I admire your patience and that your always teaching me something I didn’t know or have forgotten. Thanks again
Stay safe Pete! I would imagine it is very easy to get hurt when performing these needed tractor maintenance jobs. I was disappointed that you didn’t show how you prepared and cooked the pork roast😊
What an amazing job you do can I say that you really now what you are doing ever since you started your video do your children follow you on what you do. Great video as always how did you learn what you do yes I now you where into farming as a child but you really have an incredible passion at what you do and it shows in your videos my friend.
Another great video Pete. love the tractor repair ones! it keeps reminding me I have to pull my mower in for some repairs and I've been procrastinating, But I'm an Octogenarian, so I'm allowed to do that more often than you younger folk. thanks for sharing. ECF.
I just love watching you work. You are the most patient guy I have ever seen. My hubby can work on all kinds of machines but he does not have your patients! He is always in a hurry! Lol
Hi pete with all the troubles in the world its nice to see you out and about the farm fixing up tractors and tending the animals hoping you and hilary in good health greetings from near sydney australia ❤❤😂😂
Just took a tour of a small museum here that is dedicated to the steel mills in this region of Ohio. Your tractor harkens back , in my mind, to the era when machines had to be built of heavy guage everything. Its interesting to live long enough to at least have seen the end of that era and the beginning of the space age. Pretty neat.
Pete!!!! I could watch you work all day! I don't understand almost everything you are talking about but I amazed at what you know.....and how it comes to you matter of factly. My Dad told me plenty of times "that a man could move the world if he has the right tools"......I cannot wait to see you in action when you move into your new (and spacious) shop. When are you going to share its plans/layout? With your previous life's background, I'm sure it will be a shop to behold. Keep up the "Good work" Rich from PA.
Hay pete always a pleasure to see you work on your tractors you have a bunch of knowledge and it is so cool for you to share it with your viewers thank you for sharing blessings to you and your family
Hello Pete! I love your video, working on the large wheel and taking it off! I grew up on the farm and I saw a lot of stuff, but I really didn’t get into the details like you shared with us. I so appreciate your videos because I’m learning things. I never had a chance to learn while living on the farm. Thank you for taking us along with you and I enjoy the sound of your rain on tin roof to. What is the worst rain storms I remember on the farm was getting caught in a down burst of rain, and the only safe haven was an old tin shed, but once we were inside of it, the sound was deafening!! I never forgot that sound, and I never wanna be inside a kin shed. Trying to seek shelter from the rain. I’ll run those extra mile to get to the house over being in a tin shed any day.😊♥️♥️♥️♥️ God bless you Pete in Hillary and here’s a route and for that new building you’re wanting Pete for a workshop!!
Cont’d. I’m going to admit, Pete.I was truly worried for you, as you were trying to takeoff that big tractor tire. I’m glad you put a second jack underneath of it so that it was safer. It took me a bit to realize you were cutting out part of the video and so I never saw you going from one tractor to the other and I couldn’t quite figure out how you got there cause I didn’t see you moved but later I realize you were cutting out footage and it brought a Smile to my face😊
Took my grandkids to a pumpkin patch this Sat. and we rode a hayride pulled by a 1939 Farmall! Don’t ask what model, because the driver didn’t say & he was busy. Without your channel I’d have never known Farmall, but my grandson was impressed.😊
I just purchased my first tractor to start doing my own hay because of your videos. I purchased a farmall 656 very similar to yours it just isn’t a hydro. So far I am very happy with my purchase. It will be pulling an international 1190 haybine and some sort of round baler. I look forward to seeing more 656 maintenance videos
Great video as always. I learned a little bit of tractor bearings on a tractor and the things one will have to consider when address leaks in the seals and how much one might want to address depends on need and work space as well as time down , thanks for sharing. Will be looking forward for the next video and see how the adjustments with the shimming for the bearing and replacement seal's are done.
This reminds me of the movie Robots with Robin Williams...how the "out modes" have to band together to fix each other since the manufacturer quit making replacement parts. Great job using one tractor to fix another and not hurt yourself. I do work on our vehicles but usually I have one of my sons with me. I can't imagine doing your job without someone with me.
Lovely to hear the rain on your metal roof. Always a sound of comfort to be hiding away from the elements. Very enjoyable even tho I don't have any tractors to work repair. It's all in the ability of the teacher to connect and hold the interest of the students. You are my professor of tractor repair education until further notice. That is job security for the man with all the lovely old tractors.
Lots on your platter to fix , was happy to see you put another Jack under the tractor ,, did not want to see it go side ways Thanks Pete another good learning video
Thank you. It has been years from when I was on the farm. I remember my dad always putting penetrating oil on all the bolts the night before any project. I always knew what the project was 8 hours before we started. Good memories. No disrespect but I'm glad I do not do that for a living. My body would hurt toooooo much. I have always enjoyed the problem solving. Great video!
I like watching these mechanical vids Pete. I was trained in my younger days as a technical illustrator. I worked on manuals for many different things, from helicopters and jets, submarines to trucks and all sorts. Sadly no tractors. Great vids Pete, thanks for uploading.
Always enjoy your videos Pete you are an encyclopedia of knowledge and a very thorough teacher. Thank you to all of your family for sharing your lives with us 🇺🇸
Thank you Pete, safety first bro…. seen to many men die from not blocking/securing the equipment their working on…. Sticks with you all your life experience speaking here sir….
Hello Pete and Hillary, you do an excellent job with your channel and the content of your videos. They are informative and educational. You don’t show all the little mistakes that some channels show which makes your videos look very professional. You have given a lot of thought to what you do, why you do it and how you do it. Keep up the good work. A fan from Oklahoma.
always love watching the mechanical work along with the livestock / great job / I just got done putting new injector boots on my 3020 along with a starter rebuild always something with these older tractors always a challenge
Pete it's wonderful to hear you talking about tractor repair. You're doing exactly what my mom's uncle wanted my dad, a certified auto and diesel mechanic, to do on his farm. They're both gone now, as is the farm, so it's so heart-warming to hear you explain the mechanics, with Stew crowing in the background. God bless you and your family.
In regards to your comment on Over thinking, in the design process of the barn addition and shead reconfiguration, Being a architect it’s what you do!! Enjoy the videos though! Thanks
Hi Pete if you give the axle a wiggle the outer cup of the bearing should slide out so you can inspect it and then just slip it back in might be good peace of mind. Thanks Pete love the vids👍
That must be a common problem with all Milwaukee tools. I have a 1/4” impact driver that doesn’t work most of the time. Been like that since it was new. And my dad has a 1/2” drill that does the same thing since it was new. Thanks for sharing.
I know what the project list is like! I'm already ready to see the new shop. I'll be tagging along over the winter as usual, soaking up that motivation from your projects to assist in getting mine done ;)
I don't understand my friends who say they are bored in retirement, because there's never a shortage of things to do. You will get along fine with retirement, Pete, whenever it happens.
Amen 🙏 to that!!!🙏🙏🙏🕊
I tried it .. after a yr I was so bored .. I did it all and ending up going out & helping my son with his business.. now I ask myself why? .. lol it's like I took another career on .. but I'm so busy I can't smell the flowers and Pete's life is my dream retirement.. I'm taking notes lol
I feel like i needed to retire.God bless.
I'm with you on that! I can't even imagine a day without a long to-do list. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't change a thing. I don't miss the '9-5' for a minute. Bored? Wow. Can't even imagine what that feels like. :-)
I’ve found that retirement never gives you a day off. 😎 Tim in northern TN
I for one truly enjoy your repair and restore videos, I know some people only enjoy the animal videos to each their own I guess. Come on folks, if you like maintain and repair and restore videos let Pete know, hit the like button, speak up!
Always a pleasure to watch the mechanics of your farm. Once again I learned something new of the bearings and seals. Thank you for the video.
I also learned a lot about Pete's farm and machinery.
There's something very satisfying about the sound of a ratchet being used. It brings back many good memories. Thank you for sharing, Pete. Have a great week!
And again my friend what a great video and learning opportunity for what you do you really know as I’ve said before what you are doing and it’s nice that you’re able to share it to people that are interested to help them doing for them self’s.

Great stuff today, Pete. Thank you for the education on tractors. Always willing to share your knowledge with us means a lot.
I can’t wait for the new shop , I really enjoy watching the tractor repair videos. 🇺🇸
I’m 63 years old been farming all my life it’s nice to know that I’m not too old to learn a few a few things my grandson and I both love watching your show. Thanks for all the new info and may God bless
Thank you I found this quite educational I never knew calcium chloride was used in tyres 🛞
Fixing a seal leak on an old tractor is a good way to spend a rainy day. The sound of the rain on the over head metal roof gives a kind of rhythm to the unbolting, prying free of parts, and the occasional puffs of fresh air blown in, is a wake up call that life is good.
Thank you for adding the jack stand Pete, you were making me nervous for you 😅
Happy to get a Just Few Acres video this morning!
Here comes winter, and the fun begins, lol. More projects to get done!!! I'm excited to see these videos. See you soon in the next one.
Thanks Pete. I also enjoy the repair and restore videos. In fact, if you're looking for some new content, I think the governor on my 1939 T-20 crawler is in need of repair. It appears the governor thrust bearing has failed. The governor on the T-20 and your F-20 are the same. Maybe a tutorial on taking the governor apart and putting it back together would be of interest to your viewers. It would certainly help me!
Great video 📹. The good thing about running older and proper tractors is that you can always have a rainy day project or two. I run older classic tractors and machinery, so I always have rainy day projects. Keep the good content coming, with your words of wisdom and mix of content. You and hillary have a good work and reward ratio.
Cold and mildy, just like the wetter here, in Hamburg in Germany 😐
I love how you described preload of a bearing. I am millwright and I found your interpretation of preload to be spot on and I really appreciate your lifestyle and attention to detail.
Can't wait, I will 🤗be here to HELP watch.🤓
This is the first video I watched on computer to see comments. I have been watching on the ROKU for about 2 years. Appreciate the content, it reminds me of when I was growing up. We had anywhere between 30 to 40 milk cows.

Nothing like those smoothing sounds of rain of a tin roof I could listen to that all day. Thanks for sharing Pete.
Very interesting. You're a good teacher. You don't race explanations which allows time to absorb the logic and follow procedures. That's much appreciated. 👍👍👍
Good morning Pete. As usual the hubby and I love watching all your videos, farming and tractor repairs as well. Thank you for taking time from your busy day to share your videos. 😊

I am a 60 yr old woman and I absolutely love these videos Pete. Thank you for all the hard work it takes to share with us.
Stay safe Pete! I would imagine it is very easy to get hurt when performing these needed tractor maintenance jobs. I was disappointed that you didn’t show how you prepared and cooked the pork roast😊
*Pete's agricultural knowledge is admirable*
Pete, it’s great when you take us backyard mechanics along for the rebuilds.
Hi Pete, love your content as always. Haven't seen a Farmer's Market video in a while, I dearly miss those.
After watching this video Pete I've decided to never ever complain about changing the CV joint in my VW van.......
Sounds like your gonna be busy this winter, Thank you for the videos and have a great day.
What an amazing job you do can I say that you really now what you are doing ever since you started your video do your children follow you on what you do.

Funny what we learn when we take on a project and the knowledge that we draw on from projects we've done before. That is life.
There's nothing like a good rainy day project.
I don't know why the tractor repair videos are so good to me
I just love watching you work. You are the most patient guy I have ever seen. My hubby can work on all kinds of machines but he does not have your patients! He is always in a hurry! Lol
Pete can't wait to see the next video I'm setting here in front of my wood heater watching this
In your new shop you should look into putting in an i-beam jib crane for jobs like this.
Good day to all. Peace.
Good morning Pete.....outstanding video today as always..I sure enjoy watching all of your videos....Have great week ahead...
I must say I'm quite impressed with your mechanical knowledge .
Oh boy interesting projects forthcoming.
Pete, I love all the content you put out for the public to see.

Morning Pete . Big job for one person . Those wheels can slap you in the mouth if you’re not careful . Great video, thanks Pete .
Looking forward to seeing all of it
Pete!!!!
I could watch you work all day!
I don't understand almost everything you are talking about but I amazed at what you know.....and how it comes to you matter of factly.

Can’t wait to see the winter projects!
All the farmer channels I watch show a big chunk of farming is fixing the equipment. Wholesome content as always JaFAF.
Hey Pete,
I’m looking forward to seeing your mechanical videos this winter. I’m living vicariously through you.😂
Thanks for the videos. Have a great day!

I'll have to remember that wheel removal technique. Thanks Pete.
Gooood morning pete and hil! Have a wonderful day today!! God bless you!

Really looking forward to all the tractor repair this winter good time to sit back drink coffee and learn with a great teacher
I really enjoy your videos Pete. You are so even keeled it’s just relaxing to listen to you go through a project.
Lovely to hear the rain on your metal roof. Always a sound of comfort to be hiding away from the elements. Very enjoyable even tho I don't have any tractors to work repair. It's all in the ability of the teacher to connect and hold the interest of the students. You are my professor of tractor repair education until further notice.

Great Find on the seals.
I appreciate all the work you put into your videos Thank you.
That was an excellent description of bearing preload.
Great video Pete don’t stop working on the tractors.
Lots on your platter to fix , was happy to see you put another Jack under the tractor ,, did not want to see it go side ways Thanks Pete another good learning video
I can’t wait to see the new shop!!!
Thank you. It has been years from when I was on the farm. I remember my dad always putting penetrating oil on all the bolts the night before any project.

Hello sir i am from India🇮🇳
Keep up the good job you and your family and friends do a great show
Thank your
As someone who just bought their first IH this summer, well, first real farm tractor. I love these videos! IT's teaching me so much.
I like watching these mechanical vids Pete. I was trained in my younger days as a technical illustrator. I worked on manuals for many different things, from helicopters and jets, submarines to trucks and all sorts. Sadly no tractors. Great vids Pete, thanks for uploading.
I have never worked on farm equipment, but I enjoy those videos and have watched your Farmall playlists.
Finding out things I didn't know. Pete makes it clear to understand. Thanks Pete
Thanks for sharing the video Pete. Hope you get your parts in and you can get it shimmed and resealed soon.
You make repairs look SO EASY
Happy to see tractor Pete grinning.
Fun to watch you working on the tractors Pete!
Can’t wait to see all the projects begin! Keep up the great work Pete!!
Pretty interesting - you would go broke paying labour on all these projects if you didn’t do them yourself. Great job! 😃🇨🇦
Thats Farming for ya
Very true. @@keltonwright7
Always enjoy your videos Pete you are an encyclopedia of knowledge and a very thorough teacher. Thank you to all of your family for sharing your lives with us 🇺🇸
Rain makes the grass grow... I like rain.
I dislike the calcium chloride filling. It rots rims.
I kind of suspect they didn't quite get the pre-load right the first time.
Thank you Pete, safety first bro…. seen to many men die from not blocking/securing the equipment their working on….
Sticks with you all your life experience speaking here sir….
I love your show because it reminds me of my grandmother’s small farm that I have great memories of!
Hello Pete and Hillary, you do an excellent job with your channel and the content of your videos. They are informative and educational. You don’t show all the little mistakes that some channels show which makes your videos look very professional. You have given a lot of thought to what you do, why you do it and how you do it. Keep up the good work. A fan from Oklahoma.
I'm excited to see the projects. It's my favorite part of the channel.
My goodness, no job is to big for you!
Your mechanical knowledge (most of which goes over my head) is impressive!
always love watching the mechanical work along with the livestock / great job / I just got done putting new injector boots on my 3020 along with a starter rebuild always something with these older tractors always a challenge
It's ok to have a favorite jack...just don't let the other jacks find out.
Pete it's wonderful to hear you talking about tractor repair. You're doing exactly what my mom's uncle wanted my dad, a certified auto and diesel mechanic, to do on his farm. They're both gone now, as is the farm, so it's so heart-warming to hear you explain the mechanics, with Stew crowing in the background. God bless you and your family.
In regards to your comment on Over thinking, in the design process of the barn addition and shead reconfiguration, Being a architect it’s what you do!! Enjoy the videos though! Thanks
Hi Pete if you give the axle a wiggle the outer cup of the bearing should slide out so you can inspect it and then just slip it back in might be good peace of mind. Thanks Pete love the vids👍
Great video Pete!Send that rain down here to Georgia.We have been in a drought for months.
I think u are gonna be busy all winter long Pete . Great video
That must be a common problem with all Milwaukee tools. I have a 1/4” impact driver that doesn’t work most of the time. Been like that since it was new. And my dad has a 1/2” drill that does the same thing since it was new. Thanks for sharing.
Pete, you are a fine engineer.
I know what the project list is like! I'm already ready to see the new shop. I'll be tagging along over the winter as usual, soaking up that motivation from your projects to assist in getting mine done ;)
