    Yeah, I'm not allowing myself to go to Auctions anymore - I've been trying to sell things so my property doesn't become a "scrap yard", but the harder I try to sell stuff, the more I buy? Makes good sense - definition of "hey, you're doing it wrong" 🙃

    Uncle Luke does it again!!. Listen if you can walk away from an auction for 1500 bucks with two working tractors to mow, hay, thresh and bale, you my friend are a champion. Those A/C tractors are diamonds in the rough. I’ve had Fords in the past and I loved them but not cheap when looking for parts. The Farmall was just amazing as well.
    If you are still looking for a bumper for the Galaxie 500, Sleeperdude might have one in his world might be one place to look. I will keep an eye out around here for you. I am looking forward to the Gremlin making a fantastic return to the road.

    If you hand crank a tractor keep your thumb beside your fingers, put the crank in the palm of your hand. That way if it backfires it doesn't break your thumb. & yes, they will sometimes "pop off" when you don't expect it.

    Not sure if this has anything to do with the sparks flying at the voltage regulator or not, but originally those tractors were positive ground. Mine are converted to 12v alternators and negative ground, so the electrical looks "normal" to me now. But originally they would have been backwards. Just something to think about. Thanks for sharing!

She is a first born, so she did all the farm work gladly. I married her at 20, I was 19, best women ever, married now for 37 years. I would guess these two will stay married, not like most Instagram, social media ho's all over the internet. Real women are great. Farm girls are better.

I even remember having to crank start it occasionally. One thing a lot of you young guys don't realize is that most tractors and even cars and trucks were positive ground back then.

    That’s when they built tractors that the farmer could fix on his own. One adjustable wrench, one #2 flat blade screw driver, players with wire cutter and of course a small roll of baler wire. Grandpa tell me about the good old days. Luke you made some very awesome buys there !👍👍👍🙏🏽🇺🇸😎✌🏻

      I said the same thing. He should fix it up where it runs good and give it to his wife. She's a good partner. She deserves to have something to work with and call her own. Thats how you get her invested in what you are doing.

    Grew up running a Farmall C with that exact bailing setup. Have a picture on my cabinet of my best friend looking back at the wagon while driving it. He was killed in a trucking accident. Brings back great memories. Thanks.

    Honestly, you can never go wrong with with that old Farmall. Those were basically my entire childhood, being my grandfather had 4 of similar vintage. He also had a '67 F-100 that never ran, and a Bicentennial Edition '76 F-150. Both were the same color blue as yours. If I remember correctly Ford called it Bermuda Blue.
    You're a lucky man to have such a good wife that wants to help around the farm.

    Man, that little Farmall C has got it's work cut out for it (at 23 hp.), pulling that JD baler and a wagon as well! I couldn't tell you how many HUNDREDS of wagons I hucked bales onto!! We had 200 acres on hilly ground in Pa. back in the 60's. We had 3 of those A/C tractors, a WD, CA, and a D17. For their size, the Allis-Chalmers were the most powerful tractors at the time for medium sized farms. That C with the belly mower is around the same horsepower as the Farmall C (23 hp.) The CA had a few more ponies from the factory, and a little bit different hydraulic system. Seeing as it already has a 12v. system and coil, it would probably be a plan just to convert it to an alternator and get rid of the troublesome generator. It looks like a 6v. gen anyways, and although you can get them to charge a 12v. battery if you crank the regulator up, it's not good for them. I was really surprised the mower worked without issues right out of the gate!😄 The wifey seems to like it.. it's just her size!😉

    This video reminds me so much of my youth between 12-15 when I worked on my uncles farm in the summers. I had the job of stacking bales then my uncle got a baler with a kicker on it to shoot the bale into the hay wagon. He had John Deere B and 50 and A and more models. I rode the hay wagon, the combine as the bagger. What a dusty job that was. I would spend all day on the tractor plowing and harrowing fields, as well as mowing and raking the hay into windrows. There was always something
    to do. Never a dull day. I came back home to return to school fit for football and wrestling etc.
    Great memories. I enjoy all your videos.

    Amazing the Farmall baled as well as it did with minimal HP. The Farmall C row-crop tractor used the International Harvester C113 engine. It is a 1.9 L, 1,853 cm2, (113.1 cu·in) four-cylinder natural aspirated gasoline engine with 76.0 mm (2.99 in) of the cylinder bore and 102.0 mm (4.02 in) of the piston stroke. The compression ratio rating is 5.3:1. This engine produced 23.4 PS (17.2 kW; 23.0 HP) of output power.

    Uh-oh, Luke's got tractor fever! Now that you have an orange Model B and a red Model C, you need to get a green Model A to complete your set. One with the hand starting flywheel so you can demo that.
    So good to see Dr. Mrs. Luke being careful getting those bales off of the baler. Wear your sunscreen!

    That was a hilarious story about buying the Farmall 😂😂😂😂. A good buy too. Your wife can chuck some bails, I’ve done a lot of bailing in my life and I know that’s a workout. 👍🏻Tell her to save some energy and not drag them up the chute, let the bailer push them up onto the rack it saves steps and work.
