My name is Ryan Valk and I am a California farmer. Most important to me though, I am a husband, and a father. Many people that I have met in my life have told me that when they thought of California, they thought of a crowded city or a beach covered in surfers. What you may not know is that California is the leading state in agricultural production! We have an extremely rich history of farming here in the "Golden State". My goals with this channel are to share my family's story of our farm/ranch here in the Central Valley of California, to share cool videos of the day to day operations and grind of a California farmer, and to explore other farms and ranches throughout my area. If you enjoy tractors, trucks, farming, learning, exploring, life lessons and experiences, and a good laugh, this is the place for you.
We have a 1060 TD-9 dozer with a blade on the front. It has a pto but no hydraulics for an implement behind, and if you are moving, that pto will spin til you stop moving. There is no moving but pto is off. We mainly use it to move snow, but we did once put the baler on it and bale the hay in the pasture with it.
You are a lucky man to have an IH beast like that. Don't forget your proper warm up and cool down procedure!
Grandpa is smiling down watching this!
I always think, what would Grandpa do here 👍🏻
@@CaliforniaFarmer same as I do, my grandpa taught me everything I know about anything mechanical, and his way of problem solving, thinking things through, no matter how long it takes, even if you had to come back another day
One of Benjamin Franklin's most quoted quotes, I think, was 'A TD-14 saved is a TD-14 earned?'
Good
Friend of mine who used work at an IH dealer had a TD9. Before shutting it down he always switched it back to gas and let it run a few minutes to clear the cylinders of any trace of diesel fuel. It made it easier to start next time.
Out of everything good, i noticed the faithful little dog running alongside just keeping the girl safe, never far from its watchful eyes..Thanks for the video- Ian - UK.
With all that knocking it sounded like you were starting on diesel. The UD's were easy to start. Spin it and choke it quick and they usually fire right up.
Great tractor & video. Put on new spark plug wires and clean up the magneto cap end breaker points. Use the highest octane gas you can get. We used av gas, they start and run great on it. Spent half my childhood driving td14a s on our farm.
If you will clean the butterfly's that changes it from gas to diesel it will start easily
i got a picture of my dad with his brand new TD14 of May 21 1949
Awesome tractor, sound, and history! Thanks for the video!
You can tell by the oil filters and clutch and steering levers is a 1945/1950 model great machine
That’s not cold,I used mine in the bush in winter starting in -20 degree F.
Oh my gosh you got my attention with this old dozer..my FAV tractor...EVER
They’re fun!
We have two of those TD14's one is a parts machine its Red like yours. The other is newer and painted yellow. Ours have Letorano cable units on the rear and dozer blades.
Haven’t got a notification for you’re videos for ever have you posting lately? I’m from Oakdale by the way. So awesome to see our local farmers in action! 👊😎🇺🇸
It’s been awhile, I need to get more consistent!
just magical and way beyond time
Cool to see it working the fields. Bet the dog slept that night, lots miles alongside the TD.
Ha! I used to have to hand crank our TD-14, to grind feed, using a flat belt, to an old bearcat grinder. This was in Eastern Washington, in the snow! Sometimes, my cousin would put a pan of waste oil underneath, and light it, to warm it up, so I did not have to spend an hour cranking it by hand. When it was not hooked up to a stationary implement, I would park it on a hill, so I could coast start it. He was too cheap, to repair the electric starter.
You are not giving that engine the credit it deserves. We have an Adams Grader with the UD-14 engine in it which should be the same as yours and I've started it when it was below zero out. The county wouldn't plow or grade the country road that lead to our property so we bought a grader and did the snow plowing and grading ourselves until the county finally realized they needed to take care of it. You might need to run them a little longer on gas before you flip them over to diesel but they will start just fine when they are cold. Been too long since I've run the machine but seems to me that when shutting it down for end of the day you flip it back to gas. I might be wrong on that though as I said it's been over 20 years since I ran the machine.
My dad and uncle farmed with a HD5 AC in the hills in late 40’s early 50’s traded it on a D17 on rubber,sandy soil and hills wore crawler undercarriage out fast.
Mine was a 1942,had spoke type idler,slightly shorter and narrower track,I bought one for parts was a wide gauge and had a cable control dozer.
I used to have to hand crank one every morning to grind feed with a flat belt. Electric start went out, and my cousin was too cheap to repair it. Sometimes, it was so cold, that I had to put a pan of waste oil under the oil pan, and light it. Hand cranking sucks in sub zero temperatures.
Our old TD9 use to start at -10°f! No block heater!
Hello from north east Montana.
10 miles from the Canadian border.
Wow! What beautiful soil. I live in Georgia...
Pushing trees with my TD14 the pin fell out of the clevis that actuated the clutch,was up against a big tree,finally managed to get the trans into neutral,could have been a lot worse in different circumstances,that segment with you and the rifle on crawler is pure americana👍🏻
Always. Feel thease would be great. For parts never having a blade or bucket chances are the tracks to minamum abuse even who bought. It intending on doing tons of work soon went to tire tractor after plowing for 2 sesons with one of thease id be wanting a tractor to plow. I hear A/C hade realy good steering dident lose power turning
You realy dident want to farm with that great for traction confort is not fun the under carage looks great. Those old disks are nice heavy duty built when stuff was saposed to last we have older harrows and they hold up great even in hill country
The changeover system is out of adjustment the reason why it's so hard to start is the fact it is still getting Diesel into the combustion chamber when set for gasoline
You need more amps than that ATV can produce!! Try two long 6volt batteries!
Boys with their skirts, he will probably be going to a Avon party unbelievable .
Great video. Like the areal shots of the disc throwing the dirt side to side. Sounds like not getting enough gas, or too much. Suggest cleaning the gas lines, tank and carb. Check the float, and jets in the carb. Be careful what gas you leave in it. The red tractor gas these days, or gas with ethanol in it will gum and rust things up on the gas side.
Awesome! How much hp does it have ?
I believe it is 51 drawbar horsepower
I bet if you gave that carburetor a good cleaning and set up those starting problems would go away 😉👍👍🇺🇸
That was a big crawler in its day....
If you cut down that tall palm tree, you will achieve believable impression of Kansas.
Haii bro... Iam from india. I want to do almond farming.. Please i want more details aboutt this farming. Plz bro i want replyyy... Please...

Is that a 460/560 that was parked next to the td-14? Is it an industrial or orchard model? The front grill has me curious.
Homemade tractor that my grandpa built. The belly pan and frame are from an old steel wheel tractor, it has a BD308 gas engine and transmission out of a dump truck he had. He mated the transmission to the original tractor transmission. He had the hood and and everything made to look like an international 660. Even had emblems made that say “660 custom”
@@CaliforniaFarmer The shape of the emblems is what had me thinking it was a 60 series. I viewed it on my phone so I couldn't see they say. I hope you do a video detailing how this tractor was constructed. It sounds like your grandfather was an ingenious person.
Thanks! That’s a great idea!
Nice vid, great drone shots.
Thanks!
What part of the valley are you guys in? I’m in Ripon and I farm/construction here locally!
I had one in the bush,started in -20 f weather no problem.
So what's with the rifle? Does it only operate under threat? Good show.
I always liked the high seat... Better visibility over the hood, A bit less dust.
I planted a lot of dryland oats with one of those one year. Cool old piece of history.
Great video especially the aerial shots, I own the baby brother of that (a TD-6) awesome tractors
What spark plug did they give you? Is it the one with the extra long electrode ?
davesfarm dozer is also gas diesel set up like this one
Awesome tractor
That gave me such satisfaction. 😁
Us too! Haha
Linda D. Hansen ur beautiful 😍
My satisfaction came from watching my daughter disc. Secretly I want to be driving a tractor around a field.
Why does that polaris have no roll cage
I like the old international. The SKS is nice too 😁
Does he have the diesel and the gas going at the same time
How can we get in touch I have a td14 but don’t know how to adjust the brakes
On the front side of dashboard, in front of each pedal, turn the 4 prong adjuster nut until brakes in gage about 1/2 way along travel. Don’t over adjust so brake shoes drag.
Can u make videos in the td14
God what a sweetheart!
Leave a new tractor for a 15 years and see if it starts 😂
We let ours sit for 3 months and they throw codes!
That was beautiful to watch .
24 more volts? 🤣
Nice tony fast hat too boot
Aw cool victories
I owned one of theses and it started on the 2nd crank , except mine was a war baby built for the United States military in 1942 , it was used to pull big guns at an armory
I Use to start mine at 35 below 0
