I had no doubt. Many years ago, a National Guard construction troupe was doing some winter exercises in a swamp in Western Minnesota. They were using an International TD-24 tractor/dozer. The machine fell through the ice in a swamp, and the machine was under water. The Guard unit left it to rust. Forty-Three years later, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources wanted the machine out of the swamp. A group of preservationists, along with two heavy duty wreckers fished the machine out of the swamp,and hauled it to Perham, Minnesota. It was worked on, and now runs and works. The machine is on display at the fairgrounds in Perham, Minnesota, where it moves and works during festivals on the grounds.
It's always funny that people will put so much time into painting, but won't even bother to clean anything first. I've seen old machine tools where you just peel off 8 layers of paint, clean it up, and the original paint at the bottom still looks fine!
Oh man?!!! Was that a big red I saw 👀 😭
More paint more better.... Right
My grandfather had a metal lathe that we couldn't tell what year model anything on because it had so much paint on it. I'm not joking when I say when we stripped the paint off of it it had 21 layers of paint on it.
Really depends on what type of machine we are speaking of. Big Tools are painted to keep looking fresh. They some time even painted them new so that the original paint does not go bad or its not the color of their shop. Painting also helps with theft or people trying to sell your machine. I have seen massive amounts of things painted and its hard seeing a machine that has years and years of paint on it. I spent 2 solid weeks stripping, sanding and cleaning up a massive 18 inch jointer for someone. I spent so much time removing layers and layer of paint. I sanded and fixed a lot of castings marks and made it look very nice and we painted it a bright yellow and polished all the knobs and handles along with paint on them. A few years later the guy died and the original owner of the machine came and got it for a stupid low price (100 dollars ) and now it sits under cover in one of his buildings to never be used again. I worked 2 weeks and was paid and traded for some stuff. The hours I put in to that machine and it was sold for 100 bucks. FFS.
Yea seems counter productive to me
Matt is so genuinely happy when his machines start running. That makes the process complete.
My family used to own an early to mid 70's Cub Lawn tractor (the model with the taller than usual rear wheels). It's amazing how over engineered and powerful small tractors were back then. I also really love and appreciate (looking back now) how EVERYTHING was metal and robust with no cheap plastic panels or weak alloy components. They had real weight to them because the frame and cases were thick steel that made them far more stable to mow on steep hilly areas by proving the traction and lower center of gravity needed. You can't forget about the proper PTO that allows that small tractor to be used as a real tractor when needed. Watching this video makes me want to start hunting down an old unit to restore and replace my current plastic, composite, alloy, and thin sheet metal framed 2019 Cub.
First time I've seen a man give mouth-to-mouth to a cub cadet. You sure do love them!
😂😂😂
The old Koehler engines have mechanical fuel pumps that would have outlasted the pyramids if they hadn't put alcohol in the fuel. The Cubs were gravity fed so not that big of an issue but the Wheelhorse tractors have a tank under the seat. I have 2 that you used to have to breathe some life into before I put electric fuel pumps on. The springs that close the check valves in the pump are steel which pretty much disintegrate in water which alcohol gathers.
So yep, if you want it to start, pucker up and give that fuel tank a big sloppy one. The tounge thing is optional and not recommended....

It’s good to see Matt appreciate the finer things in life, anyone can go out and buy a new tractor.
I think we forget just how young
Matt is. If I’m not mistaken he’s less than 30 years old. Rome was not built in one day when it comes to buildings. Amazing young man
iirc he is 27
No way he's under 30 years young.. couldnt believe it unless it came from him..
@@Z-Ack He said in a video a while back that he was 27.
@@zynifi “ a while back” could be years lol.
@@lawnmowerdude No. it was a fairly decent video, I think it was the one where he fixed the radiator of his red truck.
Fantastic exit , Matt the Marvel riding the cute Cub Cadet. Thanks for sharing 🚜🚜🚜
Matt: Being an owner and fan of Cub Cadets I am mighty obliged for your efforts to save these great old machines. I'm honest when I say that the first few minutes of your video were heart breaking to watch. I can't imagine how painful it was for you to live through. Good work getting everything above the water and an overall great chunk-o-content!
Glad you take the time to clean your nice collection up. Old garden tractors need to be saved regardless of brand. Sorry for your flood damage. Greetings from Montana.
Nothing beats that genuine smile of happiness when you get an oldie running again! Please keep it up, I love these videos!!
Did that bring back memories. I had one just like yours. It had been bored and rebuilt just before I got it. I plowed snow with it for six or seven years before I got my first Kubota. That ole Cub was one tough "mother". I had chains on the rear and with a 52" blade. I shamed a guy on our street with a 25hp full dress green mach. The Kohler engine had 7hp label on the housing. I was rolling 10" of snow in high gear because of the blade geo. He was spinning out in low and his blade was actually pushing down on the snow rather getting under and rolling it off. He stopped me and asked "how many hp does that thing have?' I Just flipped the hood up, he saw that 7hp, muttered a expletive and went in the house. Never saw him again.....
Nice work on your part-keep up the variety..
Matt is happy, so we're happy. Good stuff, great channel! Greetings from Norway.
Holy crap. That water was high. Shame about your small tractors and garage being flooded, but I hope your home and neighbors were ok! Sounds good and the look on your face was sheer child like joy. Pretty cool.
Buildings in a flood plane always find a way to become indoor swamps even if it’s only once every 100 years.
Hey Matt, Great job man, not to take anything away from your accomplishments but I believe the correct terminology is "needle and seat" for what you unstuck on the carburetor which allows fuel to fill the bowl. A "jet" actually meters the flow to the engine in precise amounts for combustion. That being said you did wonderful, sorry for the flooding. Have a great day and stay safe.
Its great that you have "saved" these tractors from the scrap pile. It seems counter productive to start work on a promising project, with little effort made to clean the area of work, of oil and debris. If 25+ years as an aircraft mechanic taught me anything. it was clean is good and contaminated, with heaven knows what, was not good. A few minutes general cleaning would pay benefits in the end.
Do a full restoration on this little garden
I’ve never seen a water cooled differential before. What an amazing recovery. Did your church renovation get flooded too? Wishing you and your family a safe recovery. Peace Matt.
Rewatching this video reminds me of childhood in Mt. Pleasant. Ted Burrier my older neighbor used coffee cans to put loose parts. Long ago memory..59 years.
Fixing to watch on the big screen
You’ll see me in person the 30th lol
@@DieselCreek Matt I am so sorry this happened to you....trust me I'm in Louisiana so I know what you're going through.... hope everyone is safe and here's to DRIER DAYS AHEAD
And a most excellent use of nut-rounders, too :)
those old tractors are great. i've revived a few of them and thats a good feeling.
Hi Matt sorry to hear and see your predicament, maybe time to start looking for a house on a mountain side. Keep things nice and dry. Take care. Bravo from Victoria Australia

Agreed. I hope all gets better Matt. (Ron in Australia)

Hi Michael Also from Victoria Australia Glad to see your enjoying Matt's content Just like me.

nice, love those old cub cadets
Floods suck! At least everyone appeared to be safe.
You know a boy loves his tractor when he's willing to give it mouth to mouth!
My dad's rebuilt a few older cub cadets. I've been using one of them to mow my yard and it's awesome. It has the hydrostatic transmission in it and man it flies. Lol. Great old tractors.

I used TI work for IH years ago. I was overhauling Cubs that were 30 years old, and only needed a .10 over bore to get another 30 years.
I'm not big on small lawnmower type tractors, but it hurt my heart when you popped the diff and all that water came out. Good on you for making the best of a bad situation.

Sorry your dealing with all them floods horrible situation to be in, especially seeing your stuff under water, on the flip side another old tractor is brought back to life, love then old machines well done👍
Amazing that the charging system still works and the engine seems to be okay and not an oil burner
its amazing mate you saved these things for a second time now and great to get the old girl going.
Matt, you're the Noah of second hand equipment. Two of each kind saved.
Good ucker?
Wonder if he can get them to mate.
Wanted to watch this morning but had to go to work but I'm here now. Sorry about flood issues you're having.
Oh my this is bad news. I hope everything gets better there fast and the damage was not to bad.
I'm so broke I can't even afore a push mower and you have so many man you are blessed, avid fan from VA
It always amazes me how the water finds its way in but the oil never falls out 😂
Sorry to see the flooding glad the damage was minimal
Holy crap! Seeing your collection flooded was heartbreaking 😟. I guess it could be worse but it's bad enough.
Hi Matt sorry to hear about the flood mate. Looks like you have things under control anyway. All the best.
Would love to see you restore the Cub.
So sorry to see the flooding mate. All the best to you and your street friends. Love to see this tractor restored as the only a few left. Good to keep bygone age. Alive. The little guys need a break as well as the big guys lol. All the best to you and family bud. Regards Paul. U.K
WOW! That really bites, hope everything turns out okay. How did the church project hold up?
Here’s a suggestion for your shop. Wood pallets. They’re cheap or free. Stack them as high as you need, throw on some cheap plywood, ramp up from the ground and park everything up in the dry.
Matt, it may be time to move your tractor stash out to the farm. Wouldn’t mind watching you resto this old gem. 👍
I was thinking he had an empty Church sanctuary 😁
Dont sound bad at all Sounds pretty healthy Old Motor 😮nice Matt 21:50 @Diesel Creek
"Put some diesel in the crankcase and a bit of oil in the cylinder."
I know it makes sense, but this makes me giggle.
Sounds like something my daughter might do...but not in a good way!
same :D
idk how those string of words sound funny to u
I love your videos. They can't be too long. I admire your mechanical knowledge & laugh at you sometimes with you screw ups.
Your one of my favorite channels & look for every night when i get home & turn the tube on. You seem like the kinda guy I would like to sit & have a beer with. Thank you for your time & effort as i am sure it takes alot to get your vids out. I am not a DIYer and not mechanically skilled so i am am amazed at how you figure all that stuff out and make it work. Thank you & keep em coming but don't go to commercial.
I feel the hurt in your voice Matt, may the Mechanincal Gods be with you, keep safe.
Great rescue
I love these tractors, I have a 100 and a 102 and 122 . They were built great.
I'd love to find one of those old cubs one day. I had one when I was a kid, my grandfather gave to me. I don't know why I ever gave it away, should've kept it forever. first and second gear, slow. shift into third gear, wheelie time!
All over Face Book market place right now. people about giving them away. its a shame. I still have 5 in my barn, down from 10
I used my old 70 to mow five acres a week. The deck could really handle tall grass.
Matt - I totally understand your facination with the old IH Cub Cadets. I only have two, a '71 Model 106 and a '64 Model 100. The 100 is by far my favorite lawn tractor and is my "daily driver". Great video, Matt. I'd love to see you fully restore your cool Original!
A 64 100 was my first cub!
Hey Matt, figured this would be a nice video to ask my question in. I noticed in the ending of one of your recent videos that you were moving a satoh tractor. Do you know much about them? Recently got a Satoh S373D and would love to hear what you think of them!
I love the look on your face when you get an old motor running
Man my wife and I have spent the last 5 days watching all of your videos. After she watched a couple I had turned another video on. She demanded your channel get out back on t.v. She doesn’t even care for these types of hobbies. But she enjoys how you explain everything you’re doing. Even managed to get myself a new diesel creek hat out of her and quit possibly talked her into letting get some old tractors.
I have an old 125 Hydro. I got it on a trade for a motorcycle that I had zero dollars into. So it cost me nothing. Someone painted it RED, which is horrible, but that damn thing is the best tractor that I have ever had. Always starts, always works and will pull a freaking house - if you let it! She a beaut and wouldn't trade it or sell it for the world.
Mat, do you watch Mustie 1’s channel? You guys have a lot in common. It would be nice to see you guys working on some junk together… congrats on your videos! I love it!
Sorry to see your stuff got flooded. Hope your house is ok, the farm is on a hill so other than 6 feet of mud it should be dry. It’ll be a month before it’s dry again. Great job getting the old girl running again.
I've always used emery boards to clean points if I have room to do so. Good video. Short and to the point!
Its nice to see old dogs come back to life, Sorry about all that water, what a mess ? See Ya
The old Cub Cadets are a solid machine. I have a 124 and it's a torque monster...
Since when is a float valve called a "jet"? Interesting video aside from a little misspoken nomenclature. Thanks!
Badass!! Good job Matt, cool mini tractor!! Wow...... Y'all are flooding and we're in a drought.
Sorry to see your storage place get flooded. When you finally get your shop area all fixed up you'll need a shipping container just for your garden Tractors. I don't have and Original but I do have 1964 Cub Cadet 100 and 70 models ( I collect 1964 junk ). I know that feeling when you get one running for the first time and many years.
Man that sucks having all that water... I enjoy the Cub Cadet videos and as a Cub Collector myself it's nice to see other people who take interest in the hobby.
She's a screamer; well done.
Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
Just my 2 cents, but I'd quit buying more equipment and put all my funds into the new shop and get all your stuff in one place that's totally secure and dry.
Loved seeing that old bugger going!
Sometimes it's the small wins that help you get up and face another day! Keep it up love your videos
Dang that old girl runs super smooth all by herself heck yeah Matt Whst a gem 27:10 @Diesel Creek
WOW... you were not joking when you said you had some flooding... holy moses..
Anyone that can still smile after being dumped on by life like that sure gets my respect!
Those old tractors were TANKS..Great little tractor. It still runs like a Dream...Sorry about the flooding. Hope all is ok and safe... Great Video....
Sorry to see the flooding we've gone through that as well here one campground was caught by surprise and many died as a result of not evacuating in time, cool old tractors
Matt, nothing gets me to smile from ear to ear when you shout “FIRE” and that motor comes to life and your giddy afterwards. It’s your trademark man! I’m glad you’ve got that little engine back to life as I’m truly sorry what you and your town had to endure with this gnarly flood! But I want to also applaud you, you have 200K views after just 1 day, that means you’ve got a STRONG and genuine following! Those numbers speak volumes of your fine work you share with us! Keep rocking!
Sorry to see your flooding situation. But sometimes good comes from bad. At least you got a really cool tractor running! Restore it!
Hi matt I injoy watching you because you show much and tell what you are doing .Iam learning ever time I watch thank you!
Sorry to see all the flooding yaw experienced. It's always terrible
As always a very good job. Thanks for the Video love from Greece.
Sorry to see you have to deal with flooding Matt. Great video though. The old Cub reminds me of my Allis-Chalmers B-1 garden tractor from decades ago. Very similar design. You probably have your own method of cleaning carbs but an old co-worker of mine taught me a cool tool for cleaning those tiny passages. High E string from a guitar. The kind that is wire wrapped with very fine brass wire. Acts like a round file but won't damage to passage. Keep up the good work. My wife and I enjoy all of your videos.
Had a 124. Best tractor I had. You can not kill these.
That sure wants to live, sounds great.
Matt, you can just about fix anything ! My twin brother and I cut grass with a Cub Cadet. We bought it around 1963 it ran for another 17 years cutting grass. I love how excited you get every time you bring something back to life. It is time well spent watching your channel.
What a nice ole cadet sheet metal looks nice and straight still. Shame about the flooding hopefully the rest of the machines are ok.
Matt, you're my best TH-cam channel and I seen many, many thanks. Mike in Liverpool
She is a runner, just needed a little love and a kiss.
Those old cubbies are cool
i live in stanthorpe queensland...we had serious drought for years..our town was getting water trucked in...than the rain came and stayed for 12 months..flooded out 6 times... love the channel Matt
On a serious note, I'm so sorry to see that you've been flooded Matt, awful news. I hope you don't lose too much
That’s is a very clean almost rust free original ! I got a 1963 in the garage now I’m restoring for my newborn son , a model 70 in the driveway that’s getting a paint job for use on small landscaping jobs and a 100 that was sold new a town over from mine sitting in the front yard as decor lol ! My nieghbors love me im sure lol
Glad to see you made it mostly unscathed through Idas' wrath. Here at the south Jersey shore, we didn't get much of anything thankfully. Usually we get hammered with rain, just a stiff breeze this time.
19:53 Laurie Anderson , Oh Superman!
Sorry about what's happened with the water, hope you can get things sorted out. 👍 👍👍👍👌
Sorry about the flood but AWESOME on the salvage.
Maybe time to think about moving your antique collection over to the abandoned church? :) Or investing in a whole lotta concrete blocks, and borrow an engine lift to get them all up towards the ceiling. Nice video.
Fyi that was the needle stuck in the seat, not a jet. Sorry to hear about the flood. Keep up the great work
The clap and excitement! I do same thing when fixing things
Motors do a wonderful job of letting water in, but not letting water out. This is a nice little tractor though.
Man, that sucks about the flooding. But hey, congrats on getting that old timer running again!
Master Matt chalks up another win, congratulations 🇨🇦👍
To you and your family and all the people going through this flood, my wife and I wish you nothing but prayers for all heartache . god bless brother.
