    Just a general update. Our farm life this winter is basically 3 tasks over and over: doing basic chores twice per day, bedding the cattle once a week or so, and cleaning the pig pens. I will have very little to cover regarding the pigs until probably May, when we know whether they are pregnant or not. Billy is going in with Brownie this week. We have seen nothing between Billy and Bossy in terms of breeding. Frankly, I am looking forward to saying goodbye to the pigs after this spring's litters (if there are any). They have been a frustrating headache over the past few years, and I would have parted with them last fall if not for viewers' wishes to keep them. From then on, we will be buying 4 feeder piglets every spring to raise outside, and converting the pig barn into a new brooder house for broiler chicks. So pig content on the channel will not end entirely. Finally, I have been racking my brain trying to come up with farm content, but there's just nothing going on right now aside from me making videos of those 3 things I listed, which was what the last 3 farm videos consisted of. I used to make topical winter videos about small farm life, but I have no ideas there, and I seem to get more and more pushback about expressing opinions and talking too much on camera. I guess that's a function of the state of things in general. Maybe I just need to recharge my batteries regarding animal content to come back strong with it in the spring. I look forward to manure spreading season in 6 weeks or so, bringing the cattle back out to pasture, and getting into fieldwork with the equipment. Videos with action going on are fun to make and more interesting to watch, at least in my opinion. If you have any interesting farm topics you would like me to cover, I would love to hear them!

      While it is nice you consider viewers comments, you will never please the masses. Do what you want to do and the viewers will come along with you. The ones that disagree will move on to pester other content creators. Have a good day Pete and don't stress the youtube stuff.

      Thanks for the update! BTW, I’ve always enjoyed your topical videos, think-pieces, etc., etc….but, understand the “pushback.” Your channel will always be a “watch every episode” one for me, no matter what the content is! Thanks for taking the time to share your days, projects, & perspectives!

With that said thank you for being you and as always good luck and God bless..😊😊

    Pete, I’ve never took a tractor a part or wanted too. But watching you I’ve learn some stuff. 1. Know your limits. 2. Have patience. 3. Pay attention to the small details. And 4. Have a sense of humor. The plus in your video is your calm approach to the task. Thank you for the interesting content.

    Getting the alignment is important and doing the due diligence of what you did made it easier. Sometimes a guy just has to be patient, not always a strong suit of mine, but you sure have it! Good to see it coming together, that's neat to watch. Thanks Pete, have a nice day!

    I like all your videos tractors, pigs, cows, chickens repeat. It’s nice listening as you explain how and why. Why I don’t know it’s just very interesting hearing and watching about a TA and tightening down bolts on or near the flywheel. I have a much better appreciation of what mechanics do after watching you work and seeing all the steps. It would be nice to see the animals even if briefly but it’s your call. Enjoy it all. One last thing… I enjoy your philosophical spots as well. They give me ideas to reflect on. I have never been even the slightest bit offended. Keep up the awesome job!

I am sure I learn something from each video that may come in handy one day. As somebody else has already said "it is farmwork" fixing things that go wrong is a part of farming, a restoration is just a lot of fixing things all done at once!! Keep up the great work/content.

  • @davidkraft3690

    Yes , Pete, by far your most complex and tegious tractor work yet. this tractor is geting into the high tech area that requires so much more care with fetail and a good deal chance for error { the shaft oil slinger for instance ) . You are doing a fine job as usual and we appreciate the trip.

    Another great video Pete, every time I watch you in the shop working on projects like this I reminisce about similar tasks I did back in the day. This one brought back a memory of putting new clutch in a 1951 Pontiac a friend had we were on our backs under it in the middle of Dec of 1959. fingers numb, etc. so I always think ?wow" wouldn't it have been nice If I/we had a nice warm garage to work in back then. thanks for the memories Pete. love them. can't wait for more. Ok on the pigs I can relate to them also raised a few myself for myself and can relate to what goes on there. You do what you deem necessary for you and the farm. not the viewers. whims. altho we all know you take that seriously we do understand. thanks for sharing. God speed. ECF

    One of the best things about you Pete is, fessing up to your mistakes and thanking your viewers for the comments. I have no interest in rebuilding an old tractor or even owning one but I enjoy watching. There’s other content creators I’ve watched in the past that I’ve made comments about mistakes they made and they made it out as if they figured it out but they’re too dumb in the first place. I unliked and unsubscribed them. Thanks for being an honest good person

    Hi Pete- I’m loving this video series! I’m going to be restoring my grandpa’s 1066 at some point in the not-so-distant future, and this 856 is similar enough that I have a much better understanding of what I’m faced with. After working on my H, the 1066 has seemed very daunting. Everything makes so much more sense now! The way you explain things is just excellent. Great work!

    Pete, we love what you do , people who criticize you and your videos just have big mouths who should go somewhere else and comment. We love to see you and your family and farm life. I understand your decision about the pigs, but I think Billy is a cute guy with his wiry hair and his “ ripple’s “ in his ears! Keep up the good work and I love your tractor videos! God bless.
