Pete: You are lucky that the grill is in as good of shape as it is, I have seen lots of them in much worse shape. To have the original insert is also a bonus. Most of them are long gone. I have a Farmall 200 and I have the tools for working on the grill. They work well, but you did a great job without them. I enjoy your videos and jokes. I really like the way you tell the real, unvarnished story of farm life. I was born and raised on a small farm in Minnesota in the 50s and 60s and what you show is close to my upbringing. I like your philisophical outlook too. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for this update, Pete. One of the easiest ways to straighten a grill like this is to cut a plywood template to fit in the back of the grill, and thus keep from deforming the grill. This worked on my old truck. It can be used on the inside, to hammer on, or it can be your dolly to hammer against.
I spent seven years in body shops and I am very impressed with your patience with that grill. Some of the guys I have known would have thrown that on the floor and stomped it flat. Art
I am amazed by what you can do with that old tractor. The grill looks great compared to its beginning. I can only image the immense satisfaction you must feel at the end of one of these restorations. 👍🥰
I just love your show! I have learned so much from you. Your honesty is appreciated. The way you look at life. One of the best shows on TH-cam. Keep up the good work!
I feel sort of validated. I straightened out the cowling on my Minneapolis Moline ZB much the same way. Now I feel like maybe I did it right. Thanks Pete, you put my mind at ease.
Thanks Pete, Always nice to get a notification you posted. I kinda thought to myself you have the talent to do that engine yourself from top to bottom. Maybe not the room or proper tools...🥩....😎
Hi James, I have a trick to find those little dents before I paint. With my eyes closed, I run my fingers along the sheet metal. If I feel anything then it gets more straightening.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm I'm never happy with the finished product. I see... should have done this done that I'll try the closed eye thing but dont think that will work with me. Thanks the reply you have a great day.
Pete, the screen mesh is actually 5 squares per inch and not 4 or 1/4 inch. I bought 1/4 inch square screen and when I compared it to the original the original squares were smaller. You did a pretty good job on straightening out that grill. Loved the video.
as a coach builder........... I HATE rat rods, they are just idiots who can't do the job properly. Anyway, yours has turned out OK. While I did cringe at a couple of things, I loved how you looked at the process, learnt from it & did what you had to, to get the end result. Everyone should learn from that, especially some of my ex-employees. While I'm not a bondo fan & I can see some areas that really needed heat shinking which would fix most of it, I think, like everything you do, you gave it a go & did a far better job than many would. have. Well Done !!
I learned long ago. after telling a customer that "I bent the piece back" and them calling my manager to complain before I got back to the office 2 minutes away, to say reform.
You have a little bit of work there but at least you have metal to work with. The grill I'm working on needs a box full of TLC. How about time to work on another grill?
Virtue and patience is the mark of a true craftsman and perfectionist. you are are true craftsman Pete.
Your patience is such an asset to your ability to do these kinds of things. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

I was even thinking 3D print the template. That'd be Tractors: The Next Generation.
This tractor is a great winter project. It's looking good.
That’ll look fantastic when painted. With new screen it’ll really look good.
Nice work removing the dents from the grill! Looks really good. Thanks for sharing the update. 🇺🇸🚜👍
Enjoy knowing that we will see this tractor doing real work when its done.
I spent seven years in body shops and I am very impressed with your patience with that grill. Some of the guys I have known would have thrown that on the floor and stomped it flat.
Art
Body work, even on an old tractor, is 90% art and 10% mechanical ability.
I love your videos Pete thanks for the information 👍
Those original covers are always missing cool to see one all there
This dude is definitely very knowledgeable
Pete you truly can do anything. Impressive work 👍👍👍
Patience pays off in a high quality repair. I wish I had you patience.
good job. patience is the tool of a craftsman
MD project is looking better and better 👌
I am amazed by what you can do with that old tractor. The grill looks great compared to its beginning. I can only image the immense satisfaction you must feel at the end of one of these restorations. 👍🥰
You are doing a great job Pete. Can’t hardly wait to see the tractor and hear the diesel run. 👍
your dad was a good teacher, good job
I just love your show! I have learned so much from you. Your honesty is appreciated. The way you look at life. One of the best shows on TH-cam. Keep up the good work!
That was great to see that grill come back into shape! You are a true craftsman!!!
Pete you are doing a great job.
Enjoying the amount of detail and patience you put into the MD project
I am super excited!! Cannot wait for the finished project. Not til next year... Love the videos Pete!
You have a great hobby. 👍
Be blessed and have a great day. 👏👏🙏☝️
This tractor is going to look amazing when you’re done. You are a very patient man Pete. Great video.
Wow ! great lesson for us newcomers to tractors thanks for sharing . I can’t wait to start my case grill.
Looks so much better after your body work. Thank you for sharing.
🚜😷👍
I'm going to my happy place, so, so,
relaxing. Thanks Pete.
That grill looks great. Just goes to show what a few hours and some patience can do
That's why they call it panel beating, you beat the panel.
I say first repair the brakes on the tractor before you repair the front dents :-D
good job pete
Excellent work Pete. Straight tin-work really "sets it off".👍
I feel sort of validated. I straightened out the cowling on my Minneapolis Moline ZB much the same way. Now I feel like maybe I did it right. Thanks Pete, you put my mind at ease.
Your body work on the grill looked great, as it takes time and patience good job!
Loved wacthing working on the grill. Came out looking buetiful!
The last Farmall 200 I brought home had a loader on it and no grill guard. It looked as though it hit everything but the lottery
Ha ha! I love it!
I stumbled across your videos by accident!! I love watching them. I have learned alot. Definitely keep up all the videos.
I’ve made my own form with some plywood on the band saw before to help beat those farm all grills back in to shape. Works pretty good.
That grill looks much better than most I have seen. It's coming along.
Nice work on that grill, Pete!!
I love watching all of your videos thank you for everything you do
Thanks Pete, Always nice to get a notification you posted.
I kinda thought to myself you have the talent to do that engine yourself from top to bottom.
Maybe not the room or proper tools...🥩....😎
Nice transformation Pete!
Hi Pete lots of fun. So you will get it all done and when you shoot it with paint more dents will show up lots of fun. Have a great day

Sure is looking good can't wait to see the engine
I'd be very happy with my work if it looked like that.
Nice job
Excellent job Pete you made that look easy from here ! Love your videos !

Greetings from Germany

Nice work! C’mon down to Florida....got a ‘66 Fairlane convertible that I need to straighten the grill!
U.K. calling you made a good job of that Pete
I learned long ago. after telling a customer that "I bent the piece back" and them calling my manager to complain before I got back to the office 2 minutes away, to say reform.
Awesome job on the grille, congrats on 90k subs! I bet you’ll get to 100k by the end of the month
Very nice work sir, looks great…
Good job on bodywork.
Nice video 👌🙂👌
Awesome content as usual!
Some times you make me wish I was a farmall
guy
Love watching your channel. Very interesting.
You would make a good dentist!
Nice.
Body work is 90% prep work and 10% paint. Hope the machine gets done soon like to see the old MD make some smoke!
Wow, my 450 grill is in much worse condition. This is inspiring!! Luckily I have plenty of patience!!
In my experience, no matter how much time you spend with this, the first coat of paint will make you wish you spent more time banging on it!
You are a tin knocker in the extreme! Excellent job! Very impressive. :-)
👍 stud puller would help a lot
Incant wait to hear from the mechanic. Does he have a TH-cam channel? 😀
Pete has anybody ever told you, that you could be a drummer?🥁
Looks great pete. Do you have any front bolster vids? I have a farmall H that need the front repaired..it has that death wobble.
You have a little bit of work there but at least you have metal to work with. The grill I'm working on needs a box full of TLC. How about time to work on another grill?
I've never taken dents out of a Farmall grill, but I've put plenty in.
Little bit here, little bit there, Old McDonald had a Farmall!
This is why I'm here, im learning, gonna paint my super m this fall
Your good with tools I'm looking for a guy like you to join my crew .
Someone used to make a jig for straightening the grills.
But what about the FARMALL emblem, Pete! Are you going to polish and paint it too?
Have hammer will travel! 👍😂
The hammer and dolly will make you more money than comedian.
you mentioned you were gonna take some body filler to it, i think it'd be neat to see some of that original "character" on the tractor still...
When speaking about your tractor I have noticed you refer to it as she. Is it common practice amongst farmers?
👍
