Fun seeing three generations working together. Your son will tell his children about working on the Farmall with his dad and grandfather one day. But I’d love to be a fly on the wall when he tells them that their gramps was a social influencer back in the day! 🤣
I am glad that you have your dad to work with at your age and your dad made some nice stuff to help you with your job and I like seeing your son in your stuff working with you guys this deal was great to see all three of you guys working together
I lost my brother 2 weeks ago to cancer. He was only 68 and he knew Farmall tractors like you and your father do. I love watching you and him together, it reminds me of Greg helping me with mine. Thank You Pete. Best wishes for 2022.
I remember years ago, when my grandpa was still alive, the Farmall A had a bad ring gear. I was in Ag Mechanics in Vocational school. My dad, grandpa and I split the A in the barn, and took the flywheel over to grandpa's brother's to heat and put the new ring gear on. This video reminded me of that memory, those many, many years ago. That A is now at my cousin's place, but still in the family. Those stands for the front half are GENIUS! Well done, dad! Blessings from Ohio! Here's to a better 2022!
Pete, another great video. The best part was watching 3 generations working together! Everyone could only hope for an event that brings the family to help each other. I say FANTASTIC!!!! WTG!
I love the design on those tractor stands! My mentor always says "the problem is they don't make it anymore so you need build it" I love custom tools, and those are just genius! Excited to see the next portion of this Pete!!
Well done guys, and Kudo's to your Dad, who designed and made those stands! Can't imagine a better gift for the guy who owns multiple tractors and does his own repairs. Always enjoy watching family working together, and your transmission tutorial was appreciated too. Happy New Year guys!🎊🎉
I love seeing the three of you work together. Very encouraging. Glad she came apart rather easily. You seem to have a good handle on these restoration. Those jacks and stand are awesome, keepers for sure
Those tractor stands are genius. I worked as a mechanic for a local John Deere dealer in Georgia. Couldn't believe they didn't have stands to split tractors. Used floor Jack's and jack stands very unsafe. Go Dogs.
i find it truly amazing that after all these years that the tractor can be taken apart and rebuilt to like new condition. thanks for bringing us along and teaching even old guys like me.
Such a blessing having 3 generations together. Cherish those moments and memories. The UC Bearcats had an exciting season! They didn’t win against Alabama, but still very proud of them.
i Love that 3 Generations of your family are working Together! Love the stands that your Dad made for you. that old screw jack is also called a House jack because they used it for beams in houses and also to help move buildings. keep up the Great work! GOD' Bless your whole family. :)
How great is it that your resident fabriator could build you the stands that not only hold your equipment, but allow it to be moved out of the way while you are working on the rear half of your tractor! Happy New Year to you and yours!
it is awsum to see three generation working on an old tractor i hope you and family all the best in the new year. i will keep following to see how this all comes back together
Your Dad reminds me so much of my Dad. They both look at a problem and design a solution for it. Pete I like the way you all had a part in this video. Wish you all a Happy New Year's.
Great Video. Family Time is priceless. The Split jacks are great too. I’m needing some for shop at school. The transmission explanation was great, needed a dad joke though.
Hi Pete, glad to see that your Dad and Son are on board to help you in this part of your tractor rebuild. Really appreciate your allowing us lay folks to observe and learn. As usual you are a great 👍 teacher. My problem, old guy problem, is retention is weak. So I have to see several times before things start to sink into my mind. Haha, take care, see you in the next video.
Three generations working on a tractor! Great viewing. Great invention your Dad came up with! Those stands will save a lot! Patent? Bacon burgers 🍔 yummy! Good trade Henry! Thanks for sharing!
This one brought back memories. It's been around 50 years ago since I and my Dad split a tractor. We sure could have used those stands back then. Our method involved an A-frame and chain hoist to support the front half, and wood blocks and screw jacks for the rear. Those stands your Dad came up with look so much safer. May you be haveing a a wonderful Happy New year
Your dad is an awesome gentleman and so creative to make you those jacks. I enjoyed watching 3 generations working together. Looking forward to spending time watching and enjoying your channel again this year and keep up the dad jokes. lol
I'm a Millwright by trade and I have always noticed that Farmers in the trade are always some of the best Millwrights because they always come up with creative ideas to solve problems. Happy New year Pete
I hope you can pass your love for old iron to Henry. I remember fondly the time I spent with my dad, building things and wrenching on equipment. Whilst it wasn't tractors, it was great time to bond and do guy stuff.
Hold onto the screw jack! I had over a dozen of them in our rental fleet and they were so desirable that most of them have been sold off. I think I have 3 left which have been on rent for almost a year! They are simple and work very well.
🙋 Hey Pete, I think it's great that all 3 of you guys are working together. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful dad to help you come up with things to get the job done. Have a great day 🚜
You might be able to create 1" thick adapter plates for your other tractors as necessary, so you don't have to drill more holes in your base mounting flange. Then you can attach the adapters to the tractor and bring the jack up to the adapted holes all ready to go. Excellent tool!
17:40 Thanks Pete for the transmission & final drive walk through. Obviously you could go into way more detail, but I'd mention that 5th gear is 1:1 or direct drive, where the input and mainshafts are locked together, and the countershaft just spins free (still splash lubricating everything). It's remarkable to me how smooth these units are with all the straight cut gears and sliders. On our Ms and H, I even got decent at rev-matching to shift from 4th to 5th on the fly. On a modern manual transmission, the gears would be in constant mesh and you'd have separate dog-toothed clutches & synchronizers that would engage each gear. There's something to appreciate about, simple, rugged, & reliable.
So glad I found your channel. Thinking about a career change after 30 years as a scientist. We inherited a farm that belonged to my great grandfather in Ecuador. We have a Farmall too.
Great demo on how the transmission works. I have a 1952 Super A that I would love to restore, however I'm 79 yrs, don't have space to dedicate to the project, have never done anything like this and with a heart that is not as strong as it once was.....well, best left to a son-in-law. So I get to restore a tractor of the same vintage via your videos. Thank you so much. I anxiously await each new session. The Farmall letter series and the John Deer letter series tractors are all that is needed to handle all the tasks required to make a living on a small farm as long as one does not have to amortize large debt and they enjoy the 7 day work week on the farm. I can't think of any better life. As my Grandmother Peterson used to say, "Donald, only pray for good health for yourself and others. If you have good health then you can work and if you can work you don't have any problems!" I have learned all we really require is someplace warm and dry to live, enough to eat and something interesting to do. For recreation there are many opportunities to learn more about your chosen occupation and science, geology, history, etc. It's always nice to be able to put the old flyrod together and give the trout, bass or bluegills a chance to keep one humble, eh. I can't think of anything else that is required for a satisfying life. You seem to have found your own Shangri-la. All that said, there are times of things beyond ones control and a little bit of luck helps but all in all, you seem to have found peace and a rewarding life. I wish you and your family a Happy and healthy New Year. Thanks for providing an interesting and refreshing look at a healthy way of life. ✌😊🖖
What a way to end the old year and begin the next!! Next weekend my daughter's college North Dakota State University is taking on Montana State for the FCS championship.... GO BISON!!!! and GO MD!!!!
Hi Pete! Happy new year! Your dad and his experiences comes in handy. Your son looks very much like you. Nice to see 3 generations coming together to do a project.
It's awesome to see three generations working towards a common goal. Kudos to your dad on the support stands, he should probably free up some time in his schedule for the upcoming orders. Happy New Year's to everyone that makes the world go around.
Great video Pete. Loved the explanation of the gears. I spent a lot of time on a farmall H. I would guess they’re not much different. Interesting to know how all that stuff works. Dads jack stands are pretty cool.
Fantastic video Pete, great to see the three of you working together. That is a proper old school way of passing a hammer, brings back fond memories of the skilled, now retired people who trained me. Most mechanics head to the snap-on van for specialist tools; you just ask your dad. Good luck with the project, I look forward to the videos.

never saw a tractor split in half before.... thanks for showing how to do this! you're dad's supports are fantastic!
What a thoughtful birthday present. He put a of thought and time into that. Good memories for 3 generations. God Bless.
So great seeing your son and Da working together!
I really enjoyed hanging out in the garage with you and your dad and your son .... thank-you for the invitation
Looking forward to visiting again
It is good to see three generations working on the tractor . Henry will never be sorry he worked with his Dad and Grandpa together on something .
Nice to see 3 generations working together.
So nice to see three generations, doing the dirty job on one vintage farm machinery👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Priceless. One day Henry will cherish these videos
I lost my brother 2 weeks ago to cancer. He was only 68 and he knew Farmall tractors like you and your father do. I love watching you and him together, it reminds me of Greg helping me with mine. Thank You Pete.

I’m sorry to hear about your brother
@@MillerFamilyFarms Thank You. He was very kind and gentle, very smart, but didn’t act like a know-it-all.
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm he sounds like a great guy
💔
@@8tomtoms8 Thank You
Just can’t beat these Farmall videos.

How nice to see fathers and sons working together in the shop. All of you are quite fortunate.
Good to see Pete Sr. and Henry back in the videos. Got yourself a good kid there. Those stands are absolutely genius!
Dad is pretty sharp.
I love how your dad gives Henry a hard time every once in a while.
It's nice to see a supportive father helping his grown son and he inturn is teaching his son. All I remember is being hollered at.
Fun and heartwarming to see 3 generations working together. You're a lucky guy to have such a healthy-looking, helpful dad!
Great to see 3 generations working together. Gives me peace of mind, that the USA will be ok with folks like you still doing what needs to be done.
Three generations working together on a classic tractor! It doesn't get any better than that. Thanks for another great video.
You can see his mother in your son, both in look and in demeanor. Family is a wonderous thing.
Those jacks and stand that your Dad built are top notch, nice present. Three generations that is pretty cool.
Your dad gets a huge thumbs up with that gift....and you both get one for the gift of sharing such a valuable gift with your son.
Henry has his Mom's eyes and his Dad's smile. A winning combination.
The tractor jacks were a great idea. Love how your dad made them from a couple trailer Jack's. Pretty ingenious.

You guys make a great team it’s an honor to watch
Three generations, young man learning from Dad and Grampa! Neato Man! (Yes, I'm from that generation!) Good looking son you've got there!
Not to many family take time to enjoy family working together . God Bless you gentleman

What a dad you have Pete mine never taught me anything what i do know came from watching other people fixing stuff
Great Video.
Family Time is priceless.
The Split jacks are great too. I’m needing some for shop at school.
The transmission explanation was great, needed a dad joke though.

Bacon burgers 🍔 yummy! Good trade Henry!
Thanks for sharing!
Henry has really shot up there in the past year. Grown into a young man!
Was great watching three generations working on the tractor. Have a happy new year.
Amazing, seeing three generations going nuts, getting tired but screwing bold together till the end. ☺
Great video Pete. Never knew you could take a tractor apart like that. Best wishes to all you family in 2022.

Very nicely done gentlemen! Wonderful to see all three generations together! Priceless! Here’s to a healthy and successful 2022!
Can your dad walk us through how he designed the stands. I bet that his logical thought process and problem solving are amazing.
I love the jacks for splitting the tractor! That's some great agri-engineering right there!
I'm a Millwright by trade and I have always noticed that Farmers in the trade are always some of the best Millwrights because they always come up with creative ideas to solve problems. Happy New year Pete
I love the engineering that went into those jacks for splitting the tractor. Those are just awesome! He should patent and sell those.
Happy new year from Norway 🇧🇻
This, once again, reminds me of my dad. I always thought he could fix anything and mostly he did.
Henry's reaction " most of the time I'm not joking" .......so funny! Wow, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
Your father is a clever man, and that was a great and useful birthday gift. Great vid.
GENERATIONS WORKING AND PLAYING TOGETHER! BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMiLY! Ryk from Seattle.
I hope you can pass your love for old iron to Henry. I remember fondly the time I spent with my dad, building things and wrenching on equipment. Whilst it wasn't tractors, it was great time to bond and do guy stuff.

Good seeing farmer Phillip from Ireland giving you a mention, kinda figured you were inspiring him when he first got pigs
I love how you explain things so everyone understands.
Great video and I like the splitting stands! I remember you saying the tractor videos don't do so well, but I so appreciate them! 👍
a harmonious, balanced video.
i felt a lot of calm. the separation of the tekker was accompanied by this aura.
Happy New Year J.A.F.A.!!! GO! Southern California
Great to see this.
Henry looking way more confident on the tools this video! He's really tall now!
Happy New Year Mr. Pete! No wonder you're a great mechanic...your Dad is an outstanding engineer. I love his stand!

Way to go Grand Dad for your design.
i know its of topic but Henrey has grown up to be an awesome person. My respects
Henry, soak up this stuff. You will use this knowledge and keep these memories with Dad and Grandpa the rest of your life.
Another great video Pete, three generations working together. I think this is Georgia's year, but I'm with your Dad, Roll Tide !!
What a way to end the old year and begin the next!! Next weekend my daughter's college North Dakota State University is taking on Montana State for the FCS championship.... GO BISON!!!! and GO MD!!!!

Have a great day
God bless
And a happy new year
Great seeing Henry working with you!!
Darn! I was hoping to see Dad and Pete tell dad jokes.
I enjoyed the video.
Thanks sir for supporting the right college team . I’m 15 minutes from the campus. Roll Tide Roll L🐘
Happy New year to you, from Latvia!
watching this video reminded me of our family helping my father rebuilding his bulldozer even my partner got involved and she often recalls the time
Best gift of end of 2021 was the discovery of your channel! Thank you for your thoughtful and heartwarming content!!
