I am a new patron to Neil's channel. I started w the pond build. Now I've gone back and watched so many of the older videos and absolutely love this content. Neil makes me so happy when I hear him explain how he thinks and does things. It's Americana at its finest. It makes me think how hard American families had it and where we are today.
The one tractor that uses gasoline and diesel has a gasoline pony motor on it to start the diesel. Looks like it was a great show. I go to a similar show at Rough and Tumble in Kinzers, PA. Love seeing this equipment preserved.
I looked it up. It's a single engine that starts on gas. 5.7L 4 cylinder I think. Do a Utube search for "International 650 Start On Gas, Run On Diesel". I have seen these engines before used on stationary generators that would start on gasoline then run on fuel oil.
Aneighbor went to restore his dad's old A John Deere. Foundnoutnit was one of 12 hand built experimentals that did the Nebraska state test! Got lost coming back from Lincoln for 68 years! What a barn find!!
Love the show. We’ve had nothing but John Deere riding tractor lawn mowers for. 50+ years. Just bought another new one . I’ve been working on our old one to use as a attachment tractor.
What I like about those shows is seeing all the forgotten equipment brands, seems as though there was a time in history when every small town had a machine shop building engines and a welding shop building equipment.
I’ve been trapped in Cincinnati from NC I’m a disabled veteran who was getting treatment in Ohio when Covid happened and I’ve been fighting for vets like me and your show could help us veterans I have away of ending veterans homelessness and 1.6 billion to taxpayer yearly and the veterans get to own their home.
I grew up near the Maumee River valley in Ohio and never heard of that show, we will have to check it out, we are now retired and moved to northern Michigan near the Mackinac Bridge.
Hello. I'm from Poland, and I must say that you bring great content and atmosphere to YT. Every time I see that your film is there, I watch it with bated breath. If I'm lucky, you'll read this comment
At the Rough and Tumble historical society, they have one of the biggest events in the east coast. They just celebrated their 75 Thresherman's reunion, of which I was a part. They are located in Kinzers Pennsylvania.
Neil… I grew up with Farmall tractors. We had an M and a C. Both had the narrow front ends. They taught you real quickly how to steer with the brakes! I’ve owned one IH. It was a 1954 I-A. The ‘I’ meant Industrial. What was special about it was, the exhaust. There was a butterfly valve between the header and the exhaust stack. When you closed the valve, exhaust was diverted into hoses that powered an air cylinder. The plunger drove a circular cam that lifted and lowered the belly mower. That was IH’s answer to the new-fangled Ford 3-point hitch. They ultimately lost the battle and Ford ended up getting the business of road side mowing equipment. I used it to clear a road through Sassafras Valley then decided to upgrade. I wish that I’d never sold it… it would be so cool to have it restored and ready to show. I’ve been to dozens of tractor shows… never saw one like it…. But, did met a few old-timers who recalled seeing them in their youth. Shows like the one you were at bring a lot of history and customs to life. I loved taking my daughters (and now my grandkids) to give them a glimpse of what life was like in my youth! I am looking forward to the livestream and hope to see you tonight. PS- check your e-mail.
I love hearing the history and stories behind so many of these old tractors. That's actually what makes them neat is the stories they have to tell rather than just the tractors themselves in my opinion. I'm glad we share that interest and we can hopefully pass it on to the next generations too. At least make them aware of it if nothing else! For young people to see those steam engines and that sawmill really is a glimpse into the past and I don't think you can get that hardly anywhere else anymore today. Thanks for the heads up on the email. Glad to hear you got your nematode situation, hopefully under control. I haven't had a chance to watch a video today yet, but I certainly will. Thanks as always and hopefully we'll catch you tonight.
Love these kind of shows! A guy around the corner from me has a restored 1282. He had it by the road for $450 a couple years back. I should have bought it, but I just didn’t have the space for it. He still has it and I see it every once in a while when he has the garage door open. I won’t let it get away a second time!
I just found your channel two days ago and I must say that I am now addicted. I've been binge watching. I live in Northern Idaho just 25 miles from the Canadian Border. We have extremely high mountains, beautiful clear rivers and lakes and all four seasons. We have wildlife coming through our yard everyday and I love to watch the babies grow into does and bucks. Your whole family and their values are impressive. I hold those values which are a lost way of life now in America. Keep up the good work and thank you for your great channel. I'm 63 yrs old and more a tomboy type lady. I love rugged hard labor videos which my husband doesn't quite understand. He's a retired prosecutor of 43 years! Oh yeah, I'm an identical twin as well and both my great grandmother's names were Eva & Ella. How funny is that?
My siblings and I used to walk to that show every year when we were kids. Always enjoyed going and looking at all of the tractors. Thanks again for sharing a little piece of North East Indiana!
That was wonderful, Neil! Thank you so much for taking us with you🥰🥰🤗🤗😘😘 I love IH Scouts, too! My 4H leader had one that we used to collect feed and hay from the local feed store. I remember having to stand on the brake with both feet AFTER downshifting just to stop at red lights. Good times. See you next Sunday🥰🥰🤗🤗😘😘
Live in Leo right next to Grabil. Local paper just did an article on the old Buckeye. Fun to see my community through your eyes. I have many fond memories of going to gas and steam engine shows with my grandfather, along with many antique tractor pulls we used to do together. Keep up the great work.
At 9:14 you ran across the 600 and WD6 wondering if they ran on gas or diesel. They start on gas and once warmed up a little switch to diesel. Uncle had a WD9 when I was 10. A monster power house for the day.
Hey Neil, don't know if you want to post something but there is a great show in Easton Maryland. The Tuckahoe steam show. They also have a few museums on their property. A great show for anyone that's interested in this type of thing. I have a hard time trying to find events like this myself. Many of them seem to be local. Might be good to add something to your description or pin it up so we all have an opportunity to Go to these events.
Good morning Neil! Nice “different kind of video “. My son-in-law has an MD that he used to pull with. That’s the tractor that you needed explained gas/diesel. It starts on gas then switches to diesel. Very interesting concept! Take care my friend!!
Neal, really enjoy your channel love the family dynamics. Great to see multiple generations working together. Learned to drive when I was 11 on a case 400 and a case 500 in Vancouver, WA. I remember learning to square dance in school when I was in 2nd and 3rd grade in Northern California. Chico in Georgia
International made tractors that started on gas and would be switched over to diesel to run. Some were also started on gas and switched to kerosene, which was less expensive in the WW2 era.
Thanks for the steam and gas show tour, had a Scout myself, really liked it, was fun to drive. Nice to see someone else has tractoritis, hear it contagious, old iron is great stuff.
Nice seeing so much old iron being preserved. Had a wide front super c with a 6' woods belly mower for a few decades. Loved that machine. Sold it to family and its still in use. Simple, well-built tractors.
I just picked up my first green tractor - Before Neil got it! Found one over by stateline just north of Payne. a 1979 2040 with a front end loader. That's a great show over at Maumee Valley. My Grandpa had a tractor - I think it was a JD that would start on gas and then could be flipped over to diesel for better fuel economy on the same engine.
I grew up with a toy 66 series. Probably why I always liked them. I can certainly appreciate and enjoy a show like that. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hi Neil & family , I first caught your channel when you posted the video of you digging the pond out and I am completely hooked. I’m slowly working through your back catalogue and I can see you are becoming more accomplished in your video output. I live to see your enthusiasm for all the equipment you have and all the tasks you get involved with. Keep it up my friend .
Hi Neil. Thanks for the tour of your local tractor show. I'm not aware of anything like that in my area. Love the Scouts. I had a 1980 Scout II that I bought new and never should have sold. Who knew how rare they would become. Thanks for the video! -mike
Old iron, no matter the brand, is just such great tractors. The old IH garden tractors were quite good and i always tried to get one but they are hard to find. My first big tractor as a kid was a 766. Chopped a lot of hay with it. Thanks Neil..
Antique stuff is neat to see either at the fairs or their own shows. The fair my dad and I go to always has a threshing demo, sawmill and excavator. A group in my home area puts on one or two shows per year at our local fairgrounds.
I’m a John Deere garden tractor guy as well. But those 82 series International are my favorites. They look so much like the large tractors. I haven’t had one yet, but I will.
What a great fair event! I love those older tractors! Some day I would love to have an older tractor or engine. I wonder if we have one of those near me....
I just learned about the old Farmall diesels starting on gas then firing up the diesel it seemed to me to be ahead of its time John Deere used the pony motors like caterpillar used to start the diesel engine they are all cool. I went to a tractor show on Friday they used a big steam tractor to run the sawmill it sounds awesome when the steam engine gets under a load cutting the logs I go to that antique tractor show every year always look forward to it that show you went to looked like a lot of fun as well
The first tractor I drove was a Farmall Super MD which started on gasoline and then you switched over to diesel when the engine was warm. This tractor would start at -20F (we farmed near Barrie, Ontario, Canada) when our David Brown 990 Selectamatic Diesel wouldn't start after being plugged in for days.
Hey enjoy our channel. The last video I watched you were looking at filling around your side walk around the pond. My wife and I built a new house in 1977. The man that put the yard in for us said that we should leave the dirt at the bottom of the side walk. I thought that was going to look odd but I agreed. The reason was that over just a few years that the sod will fill in and grow over the side walk if you leave it high. He was right and it is easier to mow and looks good. Keep up the great work. You have a nice looking home.
At 9:50 on the WD they have a “two” sided engine one side starts on gas and warms up the engine and then you “switch” it and it runs and on diesel they’re really neat the MD has the same system
I use to go to the tractor engine show down in Portland with my grandfather yrs ago. Think the last year he went was around 1982. That show if I'm not mistaken is the largest in the world.
We have a local show in my town of Tipton, IN. My family has multiple tractors and I have a Case DC and my JD 332. Which I cruise around on during the show. I'd love to see all those old steam engines at your show. That ice cream is the best. I've seen them at our show and about 4 more this summer as we like to got to other shows in indiana. Thanks for another great video Neil.
The gas start diesels were an idea to get around having a pony engine. They have their own personality, but fun, and ingeniousness. Your father in law went out incognito? Tough to recognize him without bibs!
We had a 400 Farmall diesel tractor and yes started on gas to warm up cylinders then switched over to diesel . Good tractor, but had a lot of vibration even in the steering wheel !
Looks like a good show. It's just getting me more hyped up for the fall show of my local steam and engine show. I grew up real close to it and have been going since I was a young kid. It's amazing to see I it becoming kind of famous on some RUclips channels. You might have heard of it, Jacktown. It is a great show and I can't wait.
The IH and Farmall Diesels would start on gas and idle. Once there was sufficient heat in the engine you throw the decompression lever forward and open the throttle simultaneously to switch to diesel. My Grandfather had an old 450 Farmall Diesel.
I see these home-made pivot steers and all those I've seen have the operator's station on the front half. Having driven a mix of loaders and tractors, I'd like to see a home-made pivot steer with the station on the rear half, for the reason that the steering angle can easily be seen when the operator is sitting on the rear. I do understand though that it's easier to build one of these with the station on the front half and all these guys have done a great job regardless, especially the guy with the six-wheeled tractor
I love those shows that’s my favorite part of the county fair every year once my kids are older and don’t need dad so much I want to join a old Time Machine club sounds like more fun then taking up golf
Love these power shows can’t wait to go to my local one next weekend. And as a die hard JD guy I must confess I do own a IH 682 and it does look quite good in the row even though it’s not green like everything else. Keep up the great content Neil!!
Deere 300/4000 series rear ends are beefier to the cub hydros. I had a 1772 diesel for a short time and it was pretty light weight build compared to a 332/420 deere.
I ended up with a cub cadet 1872. I was looking for a 318, but the cubs (though not as common) are substantially cheaper than anything green around here. Plus, is was easier (and cheaper) to get a 2 stage snow blower for a cub, single stage seem to be more common in the deeres.
Several of the old Kerosene and early diesel tractors were started with gasoline and brought up to temp. Then you switched over to diesel for operational use.
You are not the type of person to call something by the wrong name. SO..... that is NOT a "buzz saw" that is a "circle saw, sawmill". That sawmill is WAY underpowered, he should be able to push the logs through three or four times faster that what he is doing. At 15.19 of this video. Yes, the gasoline is to start a, what they call a "pony motor". That is a Gasoline engine that actually starts the diesel engine. So it has both gasoline and diesel. They used that setup in MOST bulldozers back in the day. Out side of that LOVE your channel, have watched for over 1.5 years, EVERY EPISODE. Have a GREAT day.
IH diesel was start on gas switch to diesel, when shutting down switched back to gas to cool down switch ign off then move lever back to diesel so things don’t warp
The look on your face was priceless 😂 when the cat puked 🤮 Thanks for another great video. You guys seem like such great people, I just want to hop in my RV and come to your place for a visit! Have a great one, Cheers!
A super cool engine is the cooper propane engine that has a similar story and it is in Kinzers PA at rough and tumble. It’s super cool and there are videos of it online
Neil, I had a1964 International Scout 80 that was typical for the rust problems. I was actually planning to drop a Toyota mill and rears in it, but it didn't work out, so it was given to a guy that had one he needed parts for. The only upgrade I did was installing a Saginaw power steering box and an Isuzu fluid reservoir.
Dang that 1772 was nice. Not sure if I’d say nicer then Bruno though. Definitely don’t get rid of Bruno but would be cool if you got some more lol can’t wait to see what your dads done with his 445!
Opening weekend of Football tonight my friend. A lot of us appreciate football along with your content. Just mentioning this in reference to tonight's live stream timing.
So you're saying I can't compete with football!? 😭 That goes to show how much I follow! I had no idea. Seems like they just played some football 😋 Oh well. No worries my friend 👍🏻
Hey Neil, my father used to work for IH from the 60s through the 1980s. I think they became Case IH at some point in that time frame. Anyway, for a time he had company vehicles. I remember he had a Scout and a Travelall. Don't remember what else. It is rare to see one these days. We had Cub Cadet tractors, too. Several years ago, my brother had an eBay business buying used Cadets and parting them out on eBay.
I still have dreams about the Scouts I owned when I was in High School. Those old trucks and tractors taught me a lot. Many folks around here are still very dedicated to IH and their Cub Cadets!
Very cool trip! I love the old Internationals!! Thanks brother!

Aneighbor went to restore his dad's old A John Deere. Foundnoutnit was one of 12 hand built experimentals that did the Nebraska state test! Got lost coming back from Lincoln for 68 years! What a barn find!!
Thanks Neil
Really enjoyed the tractor fair
Love the show. We’ve had nothing but John Deere riding tractor lawn mowers for. 50+ years. Just bought another new one . I’ve been working on our old one to use as a attachment tractor.
Hello from the Netherlands.
thanks for the video Niel.
Sincerely Hollandduck
What I like about those shows is seeing all the forgotten equipment brands, seems as though there was a time in history when every small town had a machine shop building engines and a welding shop building equipment.
I’ve been trapped in Cincinnati from NC I’m a disabled veteran who was getting treatment in Ohio when Covid happened and I’ve been fighting for vets like me and your show could help us veterans I have away of ending veterans homelessness and 1.6 billion to taxpayer yearly and the veterans get to own their home.
I grew up near the Maumee River valley in Ohio and never heard of that show, we will have to check it out, we are now retired and moved to northern Michigan near the Mackinac Bridge.
Neil love the video. Made me think of the Pageant of Steam in Canandaigua NY where I grew up. Great machines and people to appreciate.

Very cool video Neil. Thanks for sharing and posting. Thumbs up everyone! 👍👍👍👍
At the Rough and Tumble historical society, they have one of the biggest events in the east coast. They just celebrated their 75 Thresherman's reunion, of which I was a part. They are located in Kinzers Pennsylvania.
Great show nice love your videos Thank you
Love shows like that. Old tractors, trucks, steam engines, etc. So interesting.
Great video.
New to the channel really enjoy it, I’m from the UK and just enjoy the space and open country side amazing.
IH used to start on gas then warmed up, switched over with a slide plate and switched to run as a diesel!
Really looking forward to the Live Stream 👍 they are always fun 🤠
Beautiful Family and a wonderful Family Channel ! Thanks for sharing your wonderful world with all of us Neil !
Neil… I grew up with Farmall tractors. We had an M and a C. Both had the narrow front ends. They taught you real quickly how to steer with the brakes!
I’ve owned one IH. It was a 1954 I-A. The ‘I’ meant Industrial. What was special about it was, the exhaust.

I love how these shows look alike just about anywhere you go.
Wow that was great. Thanks.
very cool love the old tractors.we just had our tractor parade 132 great old tractors it was great ,and it keeps getting bigger every year.
Right on

Old iron, no matter the brand, is just such great tractors. The old IH garden tractors were quite good and i always tried to get one but they are hard to find. My first big tractor as a kid was a 766. Chopped a lot of hay with it. Thanks Neil..
That was a good time. The yellow 318 would've been a head turner at the show.
Antique stuff is neat to see either at the fairs or their own shows. The fair my dad and I go to always has a threshing demo, sawmill and excavator. A group in my home area puts on one or two shows per year at our local fairgrounds.

What a great fair event! I love those older tractors! Some day I would love to have an older tractor or engine. I wonder if we have one of those near me....
Starts on gas, then the gas engine fires the diesel engine... starters didn't have the power back then to start diesels
It's the same engine it starts on gas then you pull a couple of levers and it switches to diesel.
I just learned about the old Farmall diesels starting on gas then firing up the diesel it seemed to me to be ahead of its time John Deere used the pony motors like caterpillar used to start the diesel engine they are all cool.

Excellent 👍🏻
Pete has done a few videos on his over on Just a few acres. They are interesting for sure.
@@Matt-mq1ep 100% his channel is awesome!
I use to go to the tractor engine show down in Portland with my grandfather yrs ago. Think the last year he went was around 1982.
That show if I'm not mistaken is the largest in the world.
I really enjoyed the tractor show. 🚜 Thanks for taking us along, Neil! I just wish I could have some of that fair food & ice cream! 🍦😋
We have a local show in my town of Tipton, IN. My family has multiple tractors and I have a Case DC and my JD 332. Which I cruise around on during the show. I'd love to see all those old steam engines at your show. That ice cream is the best. I've seen them at our show and about 4 more this summer as we like to got to other shows in indiana. Thanks for another great video Neil.
I have likely been to at least one of the shows many years ago in Tipton. My grandparents were just a bit south in Atlanta. Cherished memories.
The gas start diesels were an idea to get around having a pony engine. They have their own personality, but fun, and ingeniousness. Your father in law went out incognito? Tough to recognize him without bibs!
We had a 400 Farmall diesel tractor and yes started on gas to warm up cylinders then switched over to diesel . Good tractor, but had a lot of vibration even in the steering wheel !
Looks like a good show. It's just getting me more hyped up for the fall show of my local steam and engine show. I grew up real close to it and have been going since I was a young kid.

The IH and Farmall Diesels would start on gas and idle. Once there was sufficient heat in the engine you throw the decompression lever forward and open the throttle simultaneously to switch to diesel. My Grandfather had an old 450 Farmall Diesel.
Love these old fairs and all the memories that go with them! Thanks and Keep sharing this content!
Your family is a bunch of troopers for doing that show with you. You picked the right thumbnail for the video 😀
They will attend with the promise of food 😋
I see these home-made pivot steers and all those I've seen have the operator's station on the front half. Having driven a mix of loaders and tractors, I'd like to see a home-made pivot steer with the station on the rear half, for the reason that the steering angle can easily be seen when the operator is sitting on the rear. I do understand though that it's easier to build one of these with the station on the front half and all these guys have done a great job regardless, especially the guy with the six-wheeled tractor
We had a 1967 scout my dad bought new with a 266 V-8. Lasted up until 1986 till North East rust killed it
I love those shows that’s my favorite part of the county fair every year once my kids are older and don’t need dad so much I want to join a old Time Machine club sounds like more fun then taking up golf
Looks like an enjoyable hobby for sure.
Love these power shows can’t wait to go to my local one next weekend. And as a die hard JD guy I must confess I do own a IH 682 and it does look quite good in the row even though it’s not green like everything else. Keep up the great content Neil!!
Neil, red ones are okay. But they’ll never compare to the memories inside of Bruno.
My grandfather, on my dad's side, retired from IH. He had a scout and a little IH riding lawn mower for the longest time.
Deere 300/4000 series rear ends are beefier to the cub hydros. I had a 1772 diesel for a short time and it was pretty light weight build compared to a 332/420 deere.
I ended up with a cub cadet 1872. I was looking for a 318, but the cubs (though not as common) are substantially cheaper than anything green around here. Plus, is was easier (and cheaper) to get a 2 stage snow blower for a cub, single stage seem to be more common in the deeres.
Looking forward to the livestream tonight!! Fun video with some very cool stuff!!
Thanks Doug!
Several of the old Kerosene and early diesel tractors were started with gasoline and brought up to temp. Then you switched over to diesel for operational use.
I think you need to build a green one.
I like snow, maybe we will have a decent winter to help fill your pond.
You are not the type of person to call something by the wrong name. SO..... that is NOT a "buzz saw" that is a "circle saw, sawmill". That sawmill is WAY underpowered, he should be able to push the logs through three or four times faster that what he is doing.
At 15.19 of this video. Yes, the gasoline is to start a, what they call a "pony motor". That is a Gasoline engine that actually starts the diesel engine. So it has both gasoline and diesel. They used that setup in MOST bulldozers back in the day.
Out side of that LOVE your channel, have watched for over 1.5 years, EVERY EPISODE.
Have a GREAT day.
IH diesel was start on gas switch to diesel, when shutting down switched back to gas to cool down switch ign off then move lever back to diesel so things don’t warp
I honestly thought I would’ve ran into you at the Harvester Rally at the old plant a few months ago. Lots of Scouts were there
Great stuff as always Neil
The look on your face was priceless 😂 when the cat puked 🤮 Thanks for another great video. You guys seem like such great people, I just want to hop in my RV and come to your place for a visit! Have a great one, Cheers!
A super cool engine is the cooper propane engine that has a similar story and it is in Kinzers PA at rough and tumble. It’s super cool and there are videos of it online
The Step Van go cart was awesome 👍🤠😂
That guy was having a blast riding around in that thing 😁
@@digdrivediyI bet he was👍😀
I think I would sticker it up like a mini ice cream truck or FedEx 🤠
This video is fantastic, throughly enjoyed it!
I hope I can make it!!!
Neil, I had a1964 International Scout 80 that was typical for the rust problems. I was actually planning to drop a Toyota mill and rears in it, but it didn't work out, so it was given to a guy that had one he needed parts for. The only upgrade I did was installing a Saginaw power steering box and an Isuzu fluid reservoir.
Dang that 1772 was nice. Not sure if I’d say nicer then Bruno though. Definitely don’t get rid of Bruno but would be cool if you got some more lol can’t wait to see what your dads done with his 445!
The W-D if I’m correct is diesel, but has a pony motor sort of thing that starts the diesel
You should come out to S.C.R.A.P. here near Fostoria Ohio next year. They have lots of the same type things there.
So the tractor is diesel and gasoline at the same time. It may be that the gasoline engine starts the diesel. Like they used on heavy equipment.
A buddy of mine had an IH Scout when we were in High School, that thing would climb a tree I think.
Opening weekend of Football tonight my friend. A lot of us appreciate football along with your content. Just mentioning this in reference to tonight's live stream timing.
So you're saying I can't compete with football!? 😭
That goes to show how much I follow! I had no idea. Seems like they just played some football 😋
Oh well. No worries my friend 👍🏻
@digdrivediy No doubt you'll have a lot tune in, but on the off chance you don't, I would suspect that's why. Have a great time!
You should get a pretty pink one.
Nut. And you found a field full of them.
Nice, LOVE OUT STUFF.
I think you should find a diesel Scout to fix up.
Fun stuff!
Sloane Stanley Museum - Kent, Ct has a nice show a couple times a year
@9:26 - the gas engine is used to start the diesel.
Hey Neil, my father used to work for IH from the 60s through the 1980s. I think they became Case IH at some point in that time frame. Anyway, for a time he had company vehicles. I remember he had a Scout and a Travelall. Don't remember what else. It is rare to see one these days. We had Cub Cadet tractors, too. Several years ago, my brother had an eBay business buying used Cadets and parting them out on eBay.
I still have dreams about the Scouts I owned when I was in High School. Those old trucks and tractors taught me a lot. Many folks around here are still very dedicated to IH and their Cub Cadets!
Awesome! I liked like to try that ice cream 😂
If you like old tractors and engines. Have you ever been to portland Tri state gas and engine show?
Tractors are cool, yet the cats are cooler!🐈🐈⬛
