1957 Gard'n Mast'r Tractor, Parked for Decades!

- This tractor is a 1957 Gard'n Mast'r built by Garden All, powered by a Briggs and Stratton series 23 9hp engine (made in December of 1956). My Dad bought it in the early 60's and used it to help build the family home, and plowed the driveway with it for many years. I used it in the '80's for tractor pulling in the 4-H club, with my heaviest pull dragging 5400 lbs on a skid. My Dad used it a bit in the 90's, and then its pretty much been sitting ever since. In this video I evict the mice that have been living in it, and try to get it running again.
One note, the rear tire I bought says Agstar 8-16 on the side, but it was called Ag-Dura 1630 on the listing where I bought it with no mention of the Agstar name.
It's strange that when I was younger I had 50 different channels to watch every week, today I just want to end the week being able to learn and laugh a little with James.
Low Buck I can't express how amazing your videos are, thank you!
Yes, completely agree!
better than tv
Out of those 50 channels only 4 or 5 were worth watching, at least that was my experience.
hell yeah! After a long day at work, to come home to a LBG video just makes the day completely worth it
Couldn’t have said it better !!!! Always a good watch !

I like his videos. Very down to earth.
Absolutely also waiting on the Honda CT70 vid too
Back in 1957, John Deere Green was a darker shade than what they use today. The old color is now known as Classic Green and will match the original color much better.
After buying a garden tractor for the first time about 2 years ago, I'll never be without one again. They are so maneuverable and can fit into the tiniest spaces and down the smallest paths, and yet can haul and pull so much more than a person. They can tow small utility trailers, pull dead vehicles, and there are lots of attachments for them if you want to use them for gardening/yard maintenance. It's amazing what they can pull after being outfitted with a set of ag tires and wheel weights.
I agree, I've used my case 444 to pull a 4x4 diesel dually truck with no problems!
I live in a damn apartment, yet you and this video are still making me tempted to look into something old I can try to fix up. Thank you.
What brand did you buy?
i have a 25 horse diesel massey ferguson i bought brand new 3 years ago . i love my little tractor ... wish i didn't live in town so i could have a full size tractor
@@dontrend5956 I have a 1984 Sears/Craftsman GT18.
NGL, mini tractor pulling sounds like a heck of a lot more fun than the full size. Like this is actually challenging. Neat stuff.
Thank goodness for Low-Buck Garage. Just when a guy needed a pick me up. Thanks for these wonderful uplifting videos.
Well said.....very well said
9:00 I believe that is a H1 back there.
Terrific videos
Haha- Love the Old Tractor- 1957 was the Year I was Born, She needs a Good Paint Job, and I hope you do it, She’s a Beauty- I bet she could make some nice straight rows in the garden- ♥️✝️
What a great Friday night.
I guess I had never really paid attention, but I hadn't noticed that you're a young guy. You were 9 in the 80's? I'm old enough to be your dad, and now my back hurts. I hope your happy. 😂
LMFAO I am too, and my back really hurts
I’m only a couple years older. My back will hurt later.
lol im middle aged and im younger or roughly the same age as him ...44 ... we're not babies
I'm glad you made that Jeep Wagoneer video because your steam cleaner video alone has helped push me to make a steam cleaner. haha
I love tractors as to boot.
I knew this project was special to you when you bought two brand new tires for the front
a new carb and rear tire too
I resurrected a 1957 Simplicity walk behind with a model 19D Briggs that sat near 40 years in a shed that was my in laws. Freed a stuck intake valve, dug out mouse nest, got it running with a washer fluid jug for a temporary gas tank, until I can get the rust out of the main tank. I too have a "home place" I grew up at where I keep un earthing treasures from my youth. Bent snowmobile skis, rusty bike frames! Ahhh the memories!
Soo happy we have a new upload!
That smile while you were riding it around was just too awesome! It must rock to get something old and nostalgic from your childhood back and going again!
It was certainly a strange expression to see in place of the more usual stoicism.
Those updraft carbs are pretty bulletproof proof but the throttle shafts get loose and cause air leaks. You get odd backfires and lean conditions that will run you nuts looking for the problem. Ive got a model 19 Briggs on an Allis B1.
Casually finds one of the most desirable mini bikes in the world.
Definitely needs one more tire replaced 😁
Thats a nice little tractor.
Love it when the Hank hill of RUclips posts 😁
Fixing up a dad project, what could be better !
So cool to see you work on something that has been in the family for a long time and from your childhood! 5,000lbs? Wow!
I'm up to 3 garden tractors and I just picked up a 1965 Bolens suburban 26 project 😂
Now that IS fun! Looks more like post-war Oliver green than JD, and not pre-war Oliver green or later Meadow green.
When he was talking about the split rim tractor tire it was just me nodding when he said he didn't like them. "Yep. That's a widowmaker."
I bet that brought back some good memories of your childhood 😅
Love the videos! Helps make a long 48 at the firehouse fly by! The only thing that would make this better is a green chili anything burrito!
If you have problems with the magneto, it's possibly a "copper-problem" or a contact-problem of the copper windings ... but it could be also a lack of "magnetism".
Hope you can get it fixed.
Thanks for uploading and sharing.
Not sure what green shade it is but it sure looks like an Oliver color scheme. A great piece of history there.
I would love to see you do something with that old honda
Securely mounted with a zip tie. Gotta love it. Thanks for the videos.
Dadgum, I sure do enjoy your videos. Thank ya much!
After a crazy hot day, sitting down in the cool midnight air - with an iced coffee - and a Low Buck video is the perfect way to relax.
Now that is a cool little tractor.
Nice! You had me LoL with your coil fix! I wish i had access to all the little things my Pops had built & tinkered with, I miss him! especially his 74 Mazda rotary twin turbo PU truck.
You can't just- it's a magneto and... I mean, no no no, wait add a battery and just use the points with an external coil... NO you cannot and should not, but why not? Gets rid of the weak spark and dammit, it works great and opens up new options. Hmm. Well done!
Hi James, Thank you for taking the time to make a video. You always have very cool things going on and this is no exception. OH, and that humor! It's priceless. I would like to tell you when I was about 13 (1965) a buddy of mine got about a 1959 or so, Economy brand small tractor that looked a lot like yours. I believe it was called a Jim Dandy and it was all factory original. He got it from a very popular lawnmower/ outdoor equipment place a major highway just 15 miles North of downtown Detroit, Michigan where he worked with his Dad. Someone traded it in for a newer tractor and my buddy brought it home. It had ribbed tires on the front and a 9hp cast iron Briggs & Stratton. It had a "car like" clutch and bellhousing and a tiny 3 speed transmission and a driveshaft that went back to a "car like" rear axle with tractor tires. in the back My buddy put a starter-generator on it, battery and lights to upgrade it. We never used it for anything except pulling a trailer around for utility work or just with us kids in it. It was pristine and worked great. I hope you will make yours "like new" again maybe, just for nostalgia. Fine Business Mr. ben/ michigan
it's earned a sand blasting and proper paint and mechanical attention after that many decades upon decades of service
Love that old tractor
Great content for me last August I started restoring my childhood garden tractor a Sears suburban 12
I'm almost finished and can't wait for my victory lap around the yard.😊
I'm just gonna pause the video at 2:34 to say, man, this really is the best channel on RUclips, and James, you are definitely my favorite big kid on the entire internet. I tell everybody about you.
Right, back to the video.
Man… i was born in 70. I remember those days well
I so love that little tractor
mini bikes and tractor pulls! when you get the tractor running to your liking please do some tractor pulling for old times sake... great video as always... thank you for all your efforts we all look forward to your posts👍
Love your videos and your sense of humor.
nice vid
That’s a fun little tractor. Original paint looks more like the green you find on old Oliver tractors.
@29:46 he smiles like a little boy with his first bike
I like it 👍
H1 hummer in the background 😮
Where it *belongs*
It's pretty cool that you've had it so long. It would make sense to match the original color.
watching from south africa i love these vids keep em coming
Looking at the front end there as you closed out, and I'm thinking your baby needs a grill of some sort. I'm sure between your home boneyard, and the the one at the mine, you will come with just the right whatever. Looking forward to part 2.
Love your videos. I got really excited when I saw that you have a Garden-All tractor. I have one also. Mine has an I.D. plate on the left outer side of the frame next to the brake pedal. Mine was built in March 1953. Garden-All and Garden Master are almost identical. Can't wait for your next video...
Of all things that you could dive headfirst into the resto rabbit hole with, your childhood motorized toy is the best candidate for that always.
I found myself smiling all the way through this video. How cool would it be to see your young ones driving this just like there dad
I am so happy I found your channel a few years ago. You, sir, have kept myself and many others entertained with your "that'll do" approach to your builds.
The world needs more of this.
That carburetor looks in really good shape for 1957. That brass looks brand new!
I got a old Heckandorn, mower ,it's three wheeled .
Like riding a brush hog.
I used these in the 80's on campus to mow,.
I found one in the woods ,that someone started to redo, but there wasn't a motor.or transmission.
So I got a project to get together.
Don't care if it mows I'm just getting it to run some how to ride on.like your shows .you do some neat things.
Wow lots of memories from this video
Nice work on your child hood tractor.
I used to love going to the tractor pull as a kid! I don't remember ours having little tractor competitions for kids though. Maybe they did, but my Dad would always ensure we arrived after they were finished. Lest I get "ideas". Not exactly joiner types, my parents. Lived in constant fear of being "roped in" to kids activities.
love all u taking us thru ur old photos, giving these projects a whole new meaning for us watching!
These are my favorite type of videos, good work as always!
Love to see you so happy. Thanks very much for the video.
Excited for this one, never caught a video this early and I have a thing for garden tractors!
the tire iron set for a D40 Nissan Frontier ('05-'21) includes a t-handle design where it is used to turn the spare tire support crank and the jack crank. It has a 3/8" male square end on it and is around a foot long. I suspect that other vehicles from manufacturers that used the same jack or spare tire support winch mechanism would be similar and would fit in the tractor without being too big to come out like the T-handle.
When the rears came off easy, I was thinking naval jelly. As a child of the 60s, that is what I was taught for wheel studs when changing a tire.
My ocd is twitching at the mismatched rear tires. Two new ones leave the old for a spare.
One impressive little unit !
Great little tractor
You will remember this forever
Man that’s awesome u still have that thing!
😎 🚜 I Really like my briggs & Stratton tractor, the Engine is Awesome. I use my tractor 🚜every year to plow Snow off my driveway and sidewalk. The same motor has been running perfectly "knock on wood" for more than 15 years since I bought it! 👍
I love old garden tractors. That one is like the old Gibson's, "car parts and all". I've got an old JD 110H round fender.
"Only leaks a little bit" Bahahaha.
Low buck garage is a stand-up comedy routine!!
So it will only be a small fire.
@@dontrend5956that just means small s'mores!
My first tractor is my only tractor. I bought it when I bought my house and it’s a 59 Ford 601. Freakin awesome machine! Has PTO, has 3 point, has 4 gears to pick from but its old and only 1 and 2 are reasonable. Used 4th once and held on for dear life. 3rd is ok for just moving it in a hurry.
Such a lovely little tractor, I wish I had lots of land with hidden treasures like this.
Good idea with the replacement coil! Then that way you don't have to mess around with the flywheel.
I've got an old Pennsylvania Meteor that I got from my great grandpa. It is set up with a hydrostatic drive, but it also uses an old car rear axle.
I love the thing!
You're already making me miss my old home and making me hate apartment living. I have got to have at least one or two acres because I'm getting a tractor like yours (front blade, etc).
Had a great time! ❤ The channel
"We gotta be very quiety, we are hunting tyres!"
It made me laugh so hard, caught me so off guard. James, your humor is impeccable!!!
As a huge fan of vintage garden tractors this video is a perfect way to end my friday
I love your cadence on your joke delivery Low Buck, Reminds me of That Old Tony
this* old tony
This would have been a cool rebuild but having the family connection made it even more special! 😊 Then, too see your smile while riding it... priceless 😁
That was fun. 😊
I'll bet there are many tractors that had similar problems and were parked and then scrapped. Due to your clever diagnosis that you always do, the machine is alive again.
That was a golden find, so nice to claw something back from the past, look forward to part 2!!!
We bought my mom a riding mower back in the early 00"s but she kept hitting the timbers that edged the driveway and knocking the tire off the rims. My 1st fix was to put in tubes. But mom was determined to ride the edge of those timbers. So I scoured the local hardware stores and found solid rubber wheelbarrow tires that would fit the axles on her mower. Mom was happy and I didn't have to re-seat tires every 2 weeks. Problem solved.
Once again, another RUclips, who inspired me?You inspired me to go out to the back of my house and get Started on my Jeep.I bought it two years ago Started on my cheap. my eighty one jeep that hasn't ran in twenty years
I really enjoyed the story of the history of the tractor.
Thxxx for the vlog and your time,,,love the old time .👍👍👍new parts are bad indeed .strange times .a well
For the paint, you should find your perfect green, and make a stencil of some sort to make a little logo out of the rust. It preserves the historic rust while making the thing look like a new toy. (:
I like that idea!
Yes I'm having fun too.
Woah is that an H1 in the back ground at 9:03? Would like to see a video on that thing if its still around after the 2 years has passed! That CT 70 is awesome!
Keep those beautiful bean footage videos coming, and God bless
Dang! That remote coil trick is rad! I'll have to file that away for troublesome spark issues
That tractor is really cool, and the history just adds to it
That's a neat old tractor with a cool backstory! Maybe you could color match to the old paint at a NAPA or similar store that sells automotive paint. To me, the old color looked like it was a little bit bluer than the JD green.
What an awesome toy! I mean farm implement, I’m really like forward to part 2. I think this is the most serious I’ve ever seen you about doing a project right. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Will we see the little Honda mini bike ? That'd be cool
Always having fun watching LBG videos. Very happy I found this channel, reminds of the things my dad and his friends would do when I was younger.
Awesome 👍😊
