I love these old steam shows. I'm 58 years old and the older I get the more I enjoy it. I especially like those hit and miss engines . Sometimes nostalgia is a good thing.
Hi Pete, the Oliver 1855 is mine, with a 5.9 Cummins. I'm in the process of pulling the Over Under cooler to get it repaired, that's why the tin was off the one side. I know you are an IH man. My father bought a 1939 Mccormick Deering O 14, 406 were made. He bought it in 1966 from a local Case dealership. I then sold it the son of the dealership 35 years ago. I know have been trying to buy it back for the last 16 years. The son wants me to find another O 14 to trade with him. I see the son at that show every year and continue to try and persuade him to sell it back to me. It's a total basket case, but has great value to me. I really enjoy your farm content and restorations. Thank you, Rob.
The two man chainsaws are called a Maul. I worked for a elderly Swedish farmer while i was in my teens. He had two. You didn't tilt the engine. You shut it down, loosen the bolts, turned the blade,and tightened the bolts. I love the show season. Thank you Pete.
Hey pete Great vidéo and farm show and i love this old school equipement and sound 14:13 Love this sound It's really a shame that it's being lost more and more in France by my home in Alsace, sometimes I've already been to Germany with friends and even as participants 15:58 beast tractor and sound old popping deere tractor
A lot of great History in your video, Thanks for sharing, our local steam engine show is this weekend I’ll be there baling straw with a an old wire tie baler !! Hoping the rain stays away !!
Pete, thanks for taking the time for me to say hi on your way out when i passed by you! You are just as pleasant in person as you are in all your videos! Great recap of the day and you definitely got out to your vehicle just in time! -Nic J.
A fire tube boiler. My grandfather was a commercial fisherman on lake superior. One of his fish tugs had a Morse Fairbanks steam engine. It had a unique sound when it was running.
Well done, Pete. Thanks For taking us along. Good to see you get a bit of free time for yourself walking around doing what you wanna do… we all need that 👍👍👍
Nice hair at 0:33 Pete. Holy smokes, lol That ship engine took me back. I served in the Coast Guard and our engines on the USCGC Reliance had 2 x Cooper-Bessemer Corporation FVBM-12 turbocharged diesel engines, Took up 2 full decks!
Great seeing these old machines in working order. I just came back from the Philippines where I was out in the countryside (they call it "the province") and they were cutting 2x8's with a long chainsaw, a chalk line and bare feet standing on the log.
My father and Stepfather were both members, supporters and volunteers of the Alexander steam association. The machinery came from the many industries in Western NY along with items used in the oil fields of PA.
Good morning Pete, thank you for taking us along with you to the show. I always love looking and learning about the ol’ days and equipment. The green Oliver tractors remind me of the green tractor from bob the builder. ❤☕️ blessed day and see you next time.
Thanks for the tour, Pete! I enjoy watching those old machines work. You realize that even with "mechanized muscle" how difficult it must have been, and yet the increase in productivity must have seemed amazing at the time.
I was very happy you stopped to look at some W series tractors. Always really liked them, very rare where I’m from. Just bought a 44 W4, my first antique tractor
Thank you Pete (this is Ben in N.C.). Suzanne (my bride) and I hope to travel up your way this fall or winter. Don't worry, we'll visit you at the Farmers' Market. This would be an honor for us. Just to shake your hand. Suzanne and I are slowly going through all of your and Hilarie's videos. We spend a hour or two each evening watching your videos. It is very restful for us.
On the Farmall Regulars with the ball bearing mains: Dad told me they had a lifetime warranty. In the mid-50's he had a 1935 or '36 F20 that sludged up one winter due to daily use but not worked hard enough to get the oil warm. The dealer replaced those ball bearings under warranty after 20+ years!
The Canadiana was parked in port colborne, Ontario off the canal not far from where I grew up. It was meant to be restored as it was originally a ferry that operated between crystal beach ontario and buffalo new york. I believe someone ran out of money and it sat for years. I always thought it had been totally scrapped. I guess someone saved a piece of it and it ended up there somehow. Cool.
Friday Orchard Tractor, built in Hartford Michigan. Designed to take apples from the orchard and go "from Grove to road" with some models achieving road speeds up to 60mph.
Thanks for sharing this video, Pete. Always interesting to watch farm equipment and really love those stationary engines. Reminds me of first time I went to the grain elevator with my Dad to sell a load of wheat (3/4 ton 1948 Chev truck, no hoist). The elevator man had to start the engine to load our wheat out of the pit. It was so amazing to watch him start that putt-putt engine. I don't know how big it was or the name, but it had two huge fly wheels and he got the piston over the hump by climbing up on one of the spokes and just with his body weight he got it past and fired the diesel fired. Had to be nimble not to get hurt.
Thanks for taking me along, enjoy this kind of video. When I was a member of NATS ( National Association of Textile Supervisors), we would schedule a meet up at related business, always enjoyed seeing how other companies produced their products.
The "Friday" and the "Case" beside it reminds me at the Mercedes-Benz "Renntransporter" from the mid 50's. When other cars drove 60 to 75 mph, the transporter brought racecars and parts to the tracks, if needed at 100 mph. Maybe the Renntransporter was a copy of the idea of these two tractors. :-)
My brother up in Prescot as a couple old hit & miss engines... I'd love to have one but I have no idea what I'd do with it. Love those shows! That old International truck was magnificent!
I always go to our steam engine/ tractor shows here in Michigan and love it. Thank you, Pete, for taking me along to one of your shows. Be safe, and God bless.
Thank you everything was so very interesting stuff I would have never seen I have seen a few things but some of them my goodness thank you for your Channel
And here I thought you went to the show looking for inspiration and answers for the project you have with Henry and the International... It was fun to watch just the same.
That was quite the interesting collection of old machinery. Drachinifel here has a great series of videos on naval steam engines and boilers if that subject piques your interest in older machinery. Vertical Triple Expansion engines powered the Liberty Ships of WW2 even though they were an obsolescent engine type by that point. The designers used that engine type since all the gear cutting industrial capacity for geared turbines was dedicated to warship production.
Hello from Australia, the sharpening machine was made to sharpen the knife's for a wood thicknessing machine but I've seen them used to sharpen the knife's for a hay bailer I believe it was an international 69
Pete I'm glad you finally got the experience to Western New York Gaston steam show in Alexander that is where I go every year I went there this past Saturday in the rain held out for a little bit but thanks for showing us around
I went to the steam show in Hopewell NY. I'll never be back. The paths are very congested with golf carts to the point you're watching n waiting for them to pass to walk. It was beyond bad
Love those old tractors and stuff , they have a great old tractor steam engine show here in NC called the Old Time Threshers reunion in Denton NC about 30 miles form me in July always but that is a far piece for yall enjoyed the video👍
thanks for taking us to the fair, Pete...it's years since I was at one just northwest of Maitland, where I watched an IH 806, like my farmer let me use in the fields in Hannon, win its class pull...I'd sure like to go to the Binbrook fall fair this year...see some old friends...go on, good guy!
We have a guy who live like 3 mins from us who owe land who dose show like this with old steam engin people all over wv and other states come in to show off there old tractors it pretty cool he dose 3 show every year
Fabulous event - thank you for covering it. My dad's family started the Merrell Soule Company in the 1800s not far from where this even was, and dad described factories that had a power source that ran an overhead shaft - to drive all the machinery from different points. Dad said how dangerous this was, as people's hair or clothing could get caught - causing injury or death.
Hey Pete, that old 1970 Loadstar 1600 is mine. Had it since 2015. Unfortunately it doesn't have the original engine anymore but it is still in d cent shape and gets shown every year. We drove it all over and use it to tow our camper to and from local events too.
Great to see you in our area Pete! We attend the WNY Gas and Steam Engine show every year! We were there on Saturday though. Hope you enjoyed your time here. 😊
That is a neat event, showing all the wonderful old machinery. I was tasked with overall boiler maintenance inspections of a company that used horizontal and vertical boilers, both for heat and steam processes and they were a real joy to watch them work and process. That boiler display was great to see, brought back some good memories! Thanks Pete, have a good day.
I really enjoyed this video! Nice to see you get away from your farm, and enjoy a da y with all that awsome old machinery. I live thru you for my love of everything mechanical, although I'm a little older, and have mobility issues which limit my chances of going to such events. Keep it up! Greetings from Ontario Canada just a few hours away.
Thank you for showing the Minneapolis-Moline lineup. My great grandfather was a dealer and shop owner in the 50s and 60s so I have a special place in my heart for them,
Hi Pete,Edward from Vermont, I luv going to the fair’s and watching the old tractors and old engines run,so awesome,we are so luck this day in age to still have some of those engines and tractors around
Great video, Pete! You do an incredible job putting these together. It would be awesome to see you participate in one of the rallies next time with one of your vintage tractors 🙂
What amazes me most about old machines is how the inventor and the manufacturer were able to figure out how they would be designed to work and fulfill their purpose 🤔
Looks like a good show, and well-attended. I think you are mistaken on that second IH standalone power engine. It's not a cub -both of my cubs have the manifold on the left side. That one looks like the Continental of about the same size that we had on our McCormick-Deering 50T baler.
Back when they took pride in building stuff to last forever.I don’t see anything there from the 21st century that’s because it’s garbage. That was an incredible trip. Thanks for taking us along Pete.
Love these old shows Pete, and when I lived on the Wi/Mn border saw lots with the old steam and threshers still working, and lots of stationary engines with accessories like your show 😊
We had a corn festival here in southern Ohio last week with antique tractors, steam engines and equipment but I forgot about it, too much OT at work I guess.
When I go to these shows I can't stop thinking how they did farming built roads and buildings all with this old slow equipment and did it in less time than our modern construction companies ,, and it is still running.
Morning Pete. Great video, great collection of old. as I have come to learn, Old is good. you just can't give em the beans all at once. Thanks for sharing. Be well.
Nice video, interesting stuff for sure! And yes I was pulling for the massey harris pulling. Although my father had Massey Ferguson...had a school mate whose Dad had a Massey Harris, my late wife's Dad had Cockshutt.
So glad to see this one, Pete! It's not too far from me, but I've never made it out there. I'm always on the watch for old machines made New York, even better right here in Buffalo. 🙂
Hi Pete, thanks for the great show. Like you I just love the old stuff. I think it took a lot of ingenuity to design and build the old machines. No computers and no AI. Belts and pulleys. Sad to see them go. See you on the next one.
I love old of any color or make. I worked as a AC electrical rebuilder for 35 years and work on a lot of starter,generators,alternators and motors for any AC. I loved every minute.
I love these old steam shows. I'm 58 years old and the older I get the more I enjoy it. I especially like those hit and miss engines . Sometimes nostalgia is a good thing.
I am 63 and I enjoy the old steam engines at the fair’s and field days,even the old tractors 🚜
Hi Pete, the Oliver 1855 is mine, with a 5.9 Cummins. I'm in the process of pulling the Over Under cooler to get it repaired, that's why the tin was off the one side. I know you are an IH man.

I really enjoy your farm content and restorations.
Thank you, Rob.
Great video, as always, Pete. Old tractors and old engines. One can't argue with that combination.
The two man chainsaws are called a Maul. I worked for a elderly Swedish farmer while i was in my teens.
He had two. You didn't tilt the engine.
You shut it down, loosen the bolts, turned the blade,and tightened the bolts. I love the show season.
Thank you Pete.
Hey pete Great vidéo and farm show and i love this old school equipement and sound
14:13 Love this sound
It's really a shame that it's being lost more and more in France by my home in Alsace, sometimes I've already been to Germany with friends and even as participants
15:58 beast tractor and sound old popping deere tractor
A lot of great History in your video, Thanks for sharing, our local steam engine show is this weekend I’ll be there baling straw with a an old wire tie baler !! Hoping the rain stays away !!

At 6:25 I have a picture of my Dad driving a truck just like that. He worked at the Gypsum mine for about 5 Yrs.
Nice hair at 0:33 Pete. Holy smokes, lol
That ship engine took me back. I served in the Coast Guard and our engines on the USCGC Reliance had 2 x Cooper-Bessemer Corporation FVBM-12 turbocharged diesel engines, Took up 2 full decks!
Great seeing these old machines in working order. I just came back from the Philippines where I was out in the countryside (they call it "the province") and they were cutting 2x8's with a long chainsaw, a chalk line and bare feet standing on the log.

Thanks Pete we are so lucky to have you. Whatever video you post it’s great 🎉
I couldn't have said it better! Thanks Pete!
Hi Pete I was the one starting the single cylinder yellow Fairbanks,hope you enjoyed the show would be great to see you next year
Good morning Pete, thank you for taking us along with you to the show. I always love looking and learning about the ol’ days and equipment. The green Oliver tractors remind me of the green tractor from bob the builder. ❤☕️ blessed day and see you next time.

I enjoyed it the more because you were taking us around, thanks.
Thanks for taking us along to the show Pete I enjoyed looking at the machinery of days gone by
Very interesting in the variety of machines and ages of these. A lot of machines through the years.Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks, Pete, for bringing us along. Nice seeing old stuff still being used.
Friday Orchard Tractor, built in Hartford Michigan. Designed to take apples from the orchard and go "from Grove to road" with some models achieving road speeds up to 60mph.
Looks like a fun rally for the mechanically inclined

The little tractor with single front wheel and sickle bar mower is very cool. I'd definitely mow the yard with that.
I always go to our steam engine/ tractor shows here in Michigan and love it. Thank you, Pete, for taking me along to one of your shows. Be safe, and God bless.
Hartford, Michigan is 10 mins away from me. Never knew they made tractors there back in the day.
Thank you everything was so very interesting stuff I would have never seen I have seen a few things but some of them my goodness thank you for your Channel

What a great flashback. I grew up in western NY and my grandfather took me to this show every year as a kid. thanks for sharing
Thanks, Pete, for the invite.
Pete I'm glad you finally got the experience to Western New York Gaston steam show in Alexander that is where I go every year I went there this past Saturday in the rain held out for a little bit but thanks for showing us around
Thanks for showing us around. that is so cool. I like seeing old tractors and equipments.
Very interesting video t there Pete like those old engines in steam engines don't get to see him too often very fun to see thanks for taking us there
I went to the steam show in Hopewell NY.
I'll never be back. The paths are very congested with golf carts to the point you're watching n waiting for them to pass to walk. It was beyond bad
I hope the next generation keeps this going, hope we don't lose it. So fascinating , thanks Pete
Love those old tractors and stuff , they have a great old tractor steam engine show here in NC called the Old Time Threshers reunion in Denton NC about 30 miles form me in July always but that is a far piece for yall enjoyed the video👍
Would have liked to see the Miniapolise Moline with the Detroit 371 or 471 engine they were unstoppable
And sound a real beast in the tractor pull
thanks for taking us to the fair, Pete...it's years since I was at one just northwest of Maitland, where I watched an IH 806, like my farmer let me use in the fields in Hannon, win its class pull...I'd sure like to go to the Binbrook fall fair this year...see some old friends...go on, good guy!
Thank you. Love the old engines! And history too
We have a guy who live like 3 mins from us who owe land who dose show like this with old steam engin people all over wv and other states come in to show off there old tractors it pretty cool he dose 3 show every year

Great to see you in our area Pete! We attend the WNY Gas and Steam Engine show every year! We were there on Saturday though. Hope you enjoyed your time here. 😊
👍
Got several Friday tractors on the family farm here in southwest Michigan.
They made lots of equipment.
Even cherry harvesters.
That is a neat event, showing all the wonderful old machinery. I was tasked with overall boiler maintenance inspections of a company that used horizontal and vertical boilers, both for heat and steam processes and they were a real joy to watch them work and process.

Great video. We may be thousands of miles apart but your shows are exactly the same as ours. Always great to look round. All the best 🇬🇧.
Good day to all.
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it. Too bad they did’t have different parts for the truck for sale.
That Oliver 1855 is a Cummings repower. The 55 series were usually repowered cause of the issues with the 310 Waukesha I those
Thank you for showing the Minneapolis-Moline lineup. My great grandfather was a dealer and shop owner in the 50s and 60s so I have a special place in my heart for them,
I live near Hartford, Michigan and I never heard of Friday tractors!
Hey Pete! Really cool show. Thanks for sharing your day. I would love to have one of those real small tractors with the sickle bar mower.
My favorite vids from you are the auctions and shows. Love seeing the old stuff. Thanks Pete
Hi Pete,Edward from Vermont, I luv going to the fair’s and watching the old tractors and old engines run,so awesome,we are so luck this day in age to still have some of those engines and tractors around
Great video, Pete! You do an incredible job putting these together. It would be awesome to see you participate in one of the rallies next time with one of your vintage tractors 🙂
What amazes me most about old machines is how the inventor and the manufacturer were able to figure out how they would be designed to work and fulfill their purpose 🤔
Glad you like the steam show in my area got to meet you in person love your videos
Great coverage Pete. I felt like I was there with you. What a cool show. I'm only 4.hours away I'll have to go next year!
Back scratcher LOL!!! Good one Pete :-) I need one of those!
Looks like a good show, and well-attended.
I think you are mistaken on that second IH standalone power engine. It's not a cub -both of my cubs have the manifold on the left side. That one looks like the Continental of about the same size that we had on our McCormick-Deering 50T baler.
Was a fun show ! It's just down the rd from us!
Hello Pete lots of cool tractors and engines. Have a great day thanks your time to video tape.
Those old steam engines are so beautiful when they are completely restored. That 1937 International truck sure would be a beauty to have.
great way to spend the day! thanks for bringing us along.
Back when they took pride in building stuff to last forever.I don’t see anything there from the 21st century that’s because it’s garbage. That was an incredible trip. Thanks for taking us along Pete.
That was a fun visit. Thanks I enjoyed that.
It's amazing what kinds of BIG things manage to survive the years. Great video Pete. By the way my first grandchild Peter was born last week.
I live about 4 miles from the show. I didn't make it this year but I've been to it many times.
Love these old shows Pete, and when I lived on the Wi/Mn border saw lots with the old steam and threshers still working, and lots of stationary engines with accessories like your show 😊
We had a corn festival here in southern Ohio last week with antique tractors, steam engines and equipment but I forgot about it, too much OT at work I guess.

Morning Pete. Great video, great collection of old. as I have come to learn, Old is good. you just can't give em the beans all at once. Thanks for sharing. Be well.
Glad I watched this video: I bought that first Copar Panzer with the sickle bar mower in ~2017 and sold it later rhat year.
Been to a few of these over my years in Ontario Pete where I live and yes, always something new. Thanks for the video.
Awesome video I love going to tractor shows
Nice video, interesting stuff for sure! And yes I was pulling for the massey harris pulling.
Although my father had Massey Ferguson...had a school mate whose Dad had a Massey Harris, my late wife's Dad had Cockshutt.
Great video and it’s nothing like the old steam tractors in motion. Have a great week and look forward to the next video.
Old Fairbanks engines I've seen used for powering generators for municipals. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking us along!
Almost every tractor show I have attended, I find something I have never seen before. Thanks Pete for sharing.
I always look forward to your videos and appreciate the effort. It takes to put these things together. Thank you.
So glad to see this one, Pete! It's not too far from me, but I've never made it out there. I'm always on the watch for old machines made New York, even better right here in Buffalo. 🙂
Hi Pete, thanks for the great show. Like you I just love the old stuff. I think it took a lot of ingenuity to design and build the old machines. No computers and no AI. Belts and pulleys. Sad to see them go. See you on the next one.
Heck yes! What a fun day bro 👍🏻
I love old of any color or make. I worked as a AC electrical rebuilder for 35 years and work on a lot of starter,generators,alternators and motors for any AC. I loved every minute.
Thank you, Pete, for taking us along. I really enjoy it. 👍👍
