As an Iowan I found the bibs and pliers bit comedy gold 😂
Same. But from Illinois...lol
The ol crescent wrench felt left out
The bit was still hilarious 😂
And the plaid shirts
Iowan here as well. It was gold 😆
My Grandpa used the top of his bibs to measure the top of his fence posts. Straightest line of fence you have ever seen :)
Farmall H. Almost 400,000 built. Good, simple start. Reliable, dependable, easy to fix also very easy to get parts for. 7 foot disk is about perfect for it
We were only able to get our hands on a 10-footer, but I think we can run the discs straight or dig out the nitrous bottles and still get it done 🤘
I think it should most likely handle it fine, maybe play around with the depth of the disk a bit but if not than like you said break out the nitrous bottles 😂
@@JunkyardDigs depending on the weight of the disk, fill the back tires with fluid. You already have a set of weights on the back but the more is better, it will give you more traction to pull the disk better.
@ Trilogy Jack
Do NOT put liquids into the tires! Unless of course you're looking to rot out the rims!! Attach dead weight to the exterior of the rims, to the bottom of the tractor itself or both. Is it possible to put a liquid into the tires that isn't an oxidizer and which won't rot out the rims or have an effect on the tires themselves? Yes but the expense most likely won't be worth attaining it. There's also the leak factor. Adding any liquid into the tires then pressurizing them gives rise to the liquid escaping. I urge everyone who is thinking of installing water to rethink it. It's a bad idea from square one! Peace & good vibes!

@@JunkyardDigs the way the old timers did was to get another set of cast hubs and tires from another tractor and run duals but you gotta turn the inner set around so they are dished inward to make room on the axles
I’m 29. I ran a handful of these as a kid (they were old then) and they never die. Absolutely incredible tractors. For the 4-5 shift, pull it outa 4 with no clutch and drop the throttle to idle, it’ll fall right into the next gear. When you get good, you can shift them without the clutch through all gears, just like a semi truck. Be safe, many of them tractors have tipped over. Never had it happen to me, thank god. Cool video guys!
When I was a kid I rolled an Allis Chalmers WC.
Yeah I grew up around a lot of these old beasts. Even when they've been sitting in the field for 20-30+ years, they STILL start right up
That looked like so much flippin fun. You guys had me rolling with the Pliers running gag. I'm warming up to Angus, you two are funny as hell together.
Good mi8 moo
I was thinking the same thing. These types of videos are a lot more fun when there are two to banter with.
Loll opl0
Also, with that H it’s Hydraulics are 1 way. Power up, gravity down. So that is also something to keep in mind finding equipment to use.
Tractors are an area I am very well versed in
I'm relying on you guys in the comments to teach me everything I don't know yet 😂🤘
Oh you’ll be fine lol. Sitting my bias towards Farmall’s aside a Farmall H is still one of the best beginner tractors for people new to working on tractors or small farming. And there is a huge amount of info online about them as well
@@JunkyardDigs Use 90 w in the hydraulics.
@@JunkyardDigs Old Farmalls are cool relics and I've restored several, but I would look for something with a 3 point hitch if you want to be able to do much work at all
@@tomcren59 You mean 30wt non detergent in the hydraulics, 90 in the transmission.
Hey guy, if you have not found it by now, there is a screen in the inlet fitting at the carb. The brass fitting that the fuel line screws into. I had many of them plug over the years. I was IH mechanic for 40
Years. But you will find it if you rebuild the carb. Fact is, I own and H and an M. Great machines!! Good luck. 👍
Maybe he will show a carb rebuild.
I have my grandpa's 1951 H Farmall in my shop that is ready to restore but where do I get parts and a new set of tires? I actually drove it and bush hogged with it in 1995 but it hasn't been started since. It has been out of the weather, however.
@@manofreedom Talk to your local farming/tractor supply shop. The tires are standard sizes and parts are very accessible. Rebuilt a mid-50's one during covid, had no problems finding parts.
@@manofreedom Steiner Tractor is a good place to start.
My old school Batavus moped has a similar filter basket hidden in the inlet nut on the carburetor. It took me forever to find it, because it's hidden so well.
I got so emotional watching this. My dad passed away a few years ago. We had an allis d14....it never died. We used it for everything. Pulling hay wagons...a hay rake. Pulling huge silage wagons. It really gave all. These are now just memories growing up on the farm.
Life was hard back than but simple
Hey dude I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm feeling bad for you
Love this! When we moved into my Grandpa's house, he left an H and some implements. A lot of brush hoggin and hay wagon trips were made with it. Eventually Dad windowed the block! Hilo mechanic down the road put in a new engine and did the 12V conversion. A couple years later a local guy painted it for a good price. The H still pulls the hay wagon once in a while. Love that old thing!
The farming satire is so on point. Its so obvious that you two have spent time around farmers 😂
Must be a northern thing. Farmers in the delta don’t wear that. The hillbillies do though.
@@Robrt32 yeah, ours wear cowboy boots and ball caps
@@KainaX122 exactly.
@@Robrt32 older farmers up here in Iowa ALWAYS wear work boots, overalls, and a checkered button up shirt.
@@GetOffMyLog difference in north and south I guess.
Don’t forget to grease everything up and also change the transmission oil
Also learn how to shift lol. You can tell Kevin isn't used to driving an old tractor with no synchros.
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge how do you shift those ? With only the cruise control as throttle those are extremely hard to double clutch
@@willemkauffeld7679 Might be just learning how to drive on one since I was 8 years old but I have no problem doing that. Out of gear, pull throttle closed, clutch in, into gear, add throttle again. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Although we did also jurry rig a foot throttle as well later on.
@@willemkauffeld7679 Grew up with Farmall M, H, BN, and A. Timing your shifting was a learned skill. Once you got it it was easy. Shifting on hills was an issue. Learned to shift down B4 so you didn't have to do it while going up (or down) but if you clutched and shifter quickly it could be done second nature. Cars of that era had the same issue ... you just learned how to drive.
@@pslowazo I find it easier to do on cars because you have foot controlled throttle while on many tractors you only have the cruise control lever, which you can't actuate at the same time as the shifter since you need to keep one hand on the wheel.
Love this! I grew up on a farm in New Zealand and we had tractors similar to this!
One thing I would note from the video, at about the 37 minute mark when you've hooked up the external fuel tank then standing beside it to start it, (between the rear wheel and the body), that is rather dangerous, if it somehow managed to jump into gear then it could cause you injury. I'm sure you both are well aware of the dangers and ensure that neutral is selected etc but always keep your safety as number one!
And on a lighter note.......hurry up with episode 2! 🤣🤣🤣
David Browns
I was thinking that too
This was brilliant, the smiles on both your faces says it all really. Loves seeing a revival where the vehicle will go to work again, loved it
Can't wait for the rest of this series. This is a shade different than the usual stuff, and I like it!!
The day Mook can deliver all 2 bushels of corn with her dump truck will be glorious.
Agreed,not just revival, but revival with a purpose. Can't wait for the next episode!
same here! Can't wait!
Same
Yes, struggle is the same, attitude towards struggle is epic, and when they pull it off, the reward feeling will be bigger then usual,
So what’s not to like!
A tip i learned for these tractors is to shift to 1st roll forward about 10 ft shift into 4th roll forward about 20ft and put her in road gear and let her fly
thats the trick
Learned how to drive one of those about 3 weeks ago, my grandpa learned to drive it. It was fun. It is practically mint, he takes amazing care of all his equipment
That was EPIC!!! Those old Farmalls are real workhorses. My 75 y/o neighbor still uses his for everything. Bushhogs both of our fields, dug my French drain, grades the driveway, you name it. I wish I knew more about maintenance. If I did, I would want one!
Fun video. You and Angus make way better videos together than separate. :-)
Trust us, we wish they could all be that way!
It's good again!! Lmao!!
"We're doing this for you, You're doing this to us" Hilarious!!! Good job JYD! Good job indeed. I hope Cole the Cornstar makes an appearance lol
Love seeing old iron getting put back to work, I am excited to see the rest of the series!
I can’t wait to see the full series! I really love reviving old vehicles and also enjoy farming really enjoy farming. I’ve always grown up in the county of south/central Indiana
The jump between 4th and 5th on those old farmalls is pretty big. The Hs really don't have enough power to start in 5th especially if you have an implement behind them. You can shift them on the fly but you need to double clutch between gears. With a little practice you'll be able to shift from 4th to 5th without grinding.
That would explain why I can't move between gears, never crosses my mind that I would have to double clutch
@@JunkyardDigs Perfekt Ddžob.
Haha, I learned to drive stick on an old 74 thing, no synchros and a wire for a clutch lol, so glad for hydraulics :D
I learned to drive stick on a Farmall Super C. Got to the point where I could wind through all the gears without crunching pulling a huge load of firewood. Those things are beasts!
Luckily they closed the gap a little when they brought out the Super H. My 46 H my grandpa bought new was the first thing I ever drove, it was rebuilt using a Super H engine kit.
You should account the #1 rule in tractoring
Never start one from the side always start it in the seat it sounds dumb but it saves lives
Just letting you know because my grandpa went to start an old John Deere and it was in neutral but it jumped into gear and damn near ran him over
The More You Know.🌠
Old John Deere's there's no way you start them on the seat unless you start them in gear or use a other tractor with a belt pully
@@RRRIBEYE
It’s true that safety is priority. You need to get into the habit of ALWAYS checking that it is in neutral before starting. Like the other gentleman said, “the older hand started units cannot be started from the seat. And I have never had one jump “INTO GEAR”. They usually came in the shop because they jumped out of gear. But then again, I’m a red power guy, and JD always had their special quirks. But thanks for calling attention to it. It is important to talk about. 😊
Donuts in a tractor... Priceless. (For a while there it looked like a Farmbuggerall)... 🇬🇧👍
Enjoyed this video I grew up on an old tractor very similar to that one that my uncle had and taught me to use by the time I was 8 I was operating it by myself while he watched over me and it made me so happy... it's hard to beat an old tractor like that
Happy farming
Yes! You guys are reviving tractors! I've been waiting for this to happen some day this is going to be awesome!
I want to thank you guys for the great videos and keeping me entertained while I was laying on my possible death bed....no joke.
Recently I ended up with some lung infection and I spent my nights gasping for air.
The only way I could really breathe was by setting up in bed .
The only comfort I had was watching your videos and reminiscing when I was young working on vehicle.
Luckily the antibiotics have work and I am doing much better now.
Thank you again for your great videos and keeping me entertained during my scary nights.
God bless you all.
Good to know your doin good, I hope your feelin good for a while
Its great so see those gals up and running,It brings back a lot of great memories.
now this made my whole day. I remember my tractor ride back in the day. I was just as happy as yall were. when she cranked it was awesome. thank you.
Nice to see some different revivals. My grandpa has an old Farmal around that year and it has sat for a number of years and we got it running about a year ago. those things are boarder line unkillable. Love your videos. Also I have learned that violence is sometimes the answer when dealing with a stubborn tractors shifter😂
Reminds me of a story of the Russians during WWII were issued a mallet to assist in shifting the T-34 tank.
Percussive maintenance for the win! ⚒️
This brought back fond memories of working summers on a farm when I was a teenager. The owner had an M and an H. The regular hired man always drove the M and I drove the H.
Brought back a lot of memories. At almost 78 yrs old I have a lot of seat time on a Farmall M which is the next step above an H. Gotta have that spinner (steering knob). And the left brake is always way more worn as left turns are way more prominent. Great video and Good luck with the farming!
Brings back memories. It's like the big brother Farmall, to our F-12. Of course we didn't update to the H, because the F-20, was a runner. And when they were sitting out in the clay spinning their wheels, I got the neighbor's F-30, comfy seat in and highway gear.
I lost it when I saw the matching bibs 🤣🤣
This is gonna be a great series guys and that Prospector is awesome ❤
As soon as I heard the tractor turn over it instantly took me back to my childhood! Love this video Kevin!

Hey Donna
@@henrikjohnson1844 hey back to ya
@@henrikjohnson1844 c
Watched Episode 6 came to the beginning to check it out. I appreciate the educational aspect of all of this. I am an ag. educator and so many folks in this great nation of ours do not know where our food comes from let alone understand what it takes to grow it!
Grew up with a Farmall M, H, BN and A. The H was the tractor of chose. We could do just about anything with that tractor. The large wheels and low gearing made it a workhorse and very economical on fuel. I could put 5 gals, in the BN and A and run them all day and still have gas. Get that thing tuned up and the carb. cleaned and it will treat you well. The old oil in both the engine and tranie are likely making it work a lot harder than it should for a 25 horse power engine with pistons the size of coffee cans. You got a real gem.! It's not a synchromesh transmission so you need to learn to use your clutch and it likely doesn't have live hydraulics as well .... that came latter. Got to remember that when those things were built it was originally designed to replace 'pony engines' to power stationary equipment off large leather drive belts. The letter series tractors were dropped in favorer of the number series that transitioned to power steering, live hydraulics and PTO drive. Still if you were good with your feet in clutching and shifting in and out of gear these old girls could often keep right up with their newer sisters.
This is different and I'm here for it. Angus continues to emerge from his shell. This is awesome!
agreed, Angus is a great co host with Kevin and Mook.
I want you to know that you're one of the best RUclipsrs I've ever seen keep it up you do you still can't wait for the next video after this one
I appreciate that 🤘🤘
@@JunkyardDigs you should V8 swap a Farmall tractor may put some turbos or supercharger or any thing on to it make it awesome or even nitrous
@@JunkyardDigs if you are interested, I know a guy with a John Deer 95 combine. Its been sitting in a quansit for 30 years. If you came and got it he would likely just give it to you. North central south dakota.
@@quinnjohnson198 no he needs to keep the original engine in that, its old iron would be a sin to v8 swap it...
@@quinnjohnson198 if you want to do a V8 swap use a Oliver 770. They have the same bellhousing bolt pattern as a small block dodge. We had one on our farm with a bad engine so we put a 360 out of a wrecked truck in it and it became one of the best tractors we had.
You can't imagine how much I would love to travel to America and drink 1, 2, 13 beers with YOU guys!!! Absolutely great content and extremely likeable people.
Learned to drive on an old International H. Love the sound. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Reminds me of our family farm back in the 60's & 70's... we ran a nice Deere, a Ford for small work, and an old monster Farmall. Good memories on all of them. Looking forward to this series.
I wouldn't say mine was "abandoned" but everything I farm with was definitely in retirement before 2019, farm on!
Great video! It took me back. My dad had a Farmall just like it. I used to brush-hog 40 acres with that thing. As soon as it fired, it took me back a few years. Such a familiar sound. I miss that tractor.
This has been by far your best video. I cannot wait for the rest of this series! Mostly excited for a combine revival!
You guys were cracking me up on this episode lol. Can't wait to see the series continue!
Omg you look like a genuine farmer. I want to ad if any one ever has the chance to meet you and Mook at an event I want to say you both are the most genuine approachable nice folks
Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
Thank you Bill!
Definitely can hear the tractor saying “I didn’t hear no bell!!” (I love how chaotic you two are)
Man this makes me want to go out and find one of these and get it going for my Dad. He grew up farming with an H as a kid and it would make his world to be on one again. Great job guys.
YEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!! I haven’t even watched it yet and I already know I’m going to LOVE this!!! During Covid I rebuilt a 1950 Ford 8N tractor, full engine rebuild.
I love all of your videos they are the best i am 12 years old and now i am fixing lawn mowers making a profit from it and working on cars to because of these videos thank you 🙏
Keep it up. Your gonna get very far in life if you continue
Kick ass! Keep at it🤘
Way to go guys, I grew up and worked on a farm till I was 16 and moved to a big city.
I started driving tractor when I was 11 on a small Case tractor (it was the only one I could reach the peddles), then to a Farmall H or a M don't remember now.
Wish you all the best I will be watching as you move along on the farming.
Yet another great episode. Angus' humor is brilliant. It's been said before, but the dynamics make half of the entertainment. 👍
Really looking forwards to "Farmyard Digs" series. So good seeing old farm tractors come back to life.
This is awesome, love seeing old equipment brought back for a second life on the road or on the farm
I think this was my favorite video of all. I can tell you guys were really having fun doing this. Angis was too funny with those gears, and of course Kevin with that seat. Thanks you guys.
Awesome to see the tractor moving since it's been sitting for 20 years nice work guys @Junkyard Digs
The saga of the boys vs trees continues probably my favorite parts
I'd love a revival where they find the most obnoxious tree growing through a car and leave it stuck in there for a LeMons race lol
Great subject ! It brought back memories from when I was a teen when my dad revived a Farmall A with a sickle mower and I got to drive it home about 15 miles. Looking forward to the rest of the story!
I once drove a Massey-Ferguson 65 backhoe 84 kilometers/52 miles, had to get it to my friends house. Blew a front tire going up-hill. Limped it to the closest gas station, used the front-loader to lift up the wheel, and drove it the remaining distance on 3 wheels. That was fun lol
My grandfather farmed with the old M's. They had to tendency to get stuck partially in two gears at the same time if the shifter pawl wasn't fully retracted to neutral before another gear was attempted. I remember grampa removing the shifter and with a long screwdriver, putting the two gears that were partially engaged back to neutral. If that was my tractor I would try to get the corrosion flushed out of the gearbox and new lube installed. That old tractor is a simple dependable workhorse
That will last another 70 years if taken care of! Thanks for the memories from the 60's.
Awesome content!!!! That little H is a great tractor I remember my grandfather having one on the farm when I was a kid. It was probably the most reliable piece of machinery we owned. Very simple and easy to fix, plus you could always find parts real easy (before ebay). I can't wait to see more of this!!
As a tractor guy I'm really going to enjoy this series! Great episode guys keep it up!
I love it when you and Angus do videos together you are both hillarious .
Good job on getting the old girl running again boys
This is awesome! My dad had a Farmall tractor like this! Our last photo of him was of him plowing with it in 2006. The sound of the engine brings back memories.
Good show! I can’t wait to see the new videos of this series. I’m sure you’ll have all the humor in it. Thanks Ron
Loved this episode. My dad always had Farmall tractors when I was growing up and I always thought they were awesome. My grandpa was an Oliver man. The sound of those old tractors is really nostalgic.
Oliver had a shot at being the 'John Deer' of it's day and could have out sold every tractor but the Company was sold and poor management hurt it's sales and sucked the company dry. Sad because at one time they had the most advanced tractor out there.
@@pslowazo spot on summary! I have several Olivers. I think they're great tractors, even after many years of service and being halfway worn out, ha ha!
My Dad's side of the family has Farmalls, Oliver's, and Deeres with some Alices for good measure. The running joke is my family can put on a tractor ride all by ourselves 😀
Tractor supply carries the kit for the carb. Another little secret of this tractor is if it ever doesn't crank and acts locked simply loosen the starter wiggle it and retighten it. I can't tell you how many times I had to do that.
I am an international harvester guy and love your choice of tractor. These things can sit for 50 years,be stuck,come loose and run like a top. We have a ton of small equiptment. Get a 2 bottom 14" plow for that H. Nothing bigger or wider if your in clay like soil. Seriously though dont force that shifter. You bend or break the ball off the underside of the top cover. Get a look inside the top cover. Its not hard to do and the fix will be cheap and easy. You keep beating on that shifter it will get more expensive. She will come around.
Love the tractor content. 🚜. Reminds me of my childhood in the mid 60s early 70s on grandparents cotton farm noth of Littlefield Tx.
Great video mate. Love the content
I just checked out your channel and it looks like I'm gonna be occupied for the next few months
Yeah
Thanks for the different revival! Those old tractors are pretty bulletproof, kinda hard to kill! A word of caution, and I’m sure Angus might be able to agree with this. What you’ve got there is a narrow front end not a “row crop” wide front end. Depending on what you’re doing that narrow front end can make driving that thing a little dangerous. They can tip over kinda easy if the front end gets down in a furrow while you are turning. Those H’s came with a OEM wide front end. Maybe the fellow you got it from has one in the barn or out in the weeds somewhere. Good luck, look forward to seeing more of your overall games!
That narrow front end is very much a "row crop" front end. Yes, they could and did turn over but in truth that was not a big issue unless the operator put the tractor into a precarious position where roll over was a possibility. In normal operation that was not a big concern. I have driven an H and also it's big brother the M and Super M for many hours. My dad had a front end 4 row cultivator on our M that I think only would work with a narrow front end. He also had an H which he used as his planting tractor. Those narrow front ends made excellent thumb busters, especially when a cultivator was mounted. After one broken thumb, one quickly learned to drive these tractors with the thumb and fingers on the same side of the steering wheel rim.
Not sure but I think the H was rated at about 25 hp and the M came in at 35 to 45 depending on whether it was a Super M or not. Those tractors, if maintained were indeed bullet proof and would provide many hours of trouble free operation. I would strongly suggest draining out the 90W oil in the rear end, and flushing it our thoroughly. You might even have to pull the top deck off the rear end (not as big a deal as one would think) to get out all that rusty sludge otherwise you will be facing transmission bearing failures in the near future. Again, not as big a deal as one would think but definitely a bigger deal than pulling the top deck and cleaning it out.
Enjoyed the video and I will be back to see if you get the crop in on time.
Back in the day my family ran all ihc equipment when everyone around us went jd and our h could pull a 3 bottom plow with a little difficulty but our m-s and super m's handled it easily then came the oliver 70 with wheel and front end weights and it pulled ok but it had no 3 point hitch so it only pulled epuipment that lifted itself or by hand and our little farmall c was for spraying alot of weeds with roundup now im the only one left that did farming and i dont own any tractors or equipment and im quite happy about it but my kids all remember grandma and grandpas farm 👍 great video
@@CottonFarmer667 YEP, you can bet that there is a LOT of water IN the transmission.
Have spent plenty of time on NF equipment as back in the day thats what most northern Iowa guys bought. Tractor wont roll over unless you put it in a dangerous position, and NF are handy as they turn on a dime as it were.
These are not dangerous, drove for 50 years still have one.
16 year old grandson of a farmer here. My grandfather has a 1968 Case 430 and a 40s Allis-Chalmers. One of the things he'd do is pull off the exhaust and put on a straight pipe so the Case would breathe better while turning dirt, with no hearing protection. All day.
He'd lean forward and light his cigarettes from the glowing pipe while still going.
Ol farmall never dies, in 2016 me and my dad went to look at a farmall 460 diesel, it sat for 31 years. After some wrenching and having to manually heat up the glow plugs it fired right up.
Ah yes the Russian Tanks natural predator, the tractor
I need the comments section on this video was going to be good, y'all came out swinging 😂😂
And a natural predator of 'Mater after he accidentally wakes them up!
This is gonna be a great series. I really wish there would have been footage of Mook’s reaction to the overalls.
Love watching folks work on these old Farmalls. I live in a suburb on the west coast but would love to have the chance to own, restore and use one of these tractors.
I do this once a month for fun, you MUST drive it up to the drive through window at Starbucks for a coffee.
McDonalds sees me coming and has my order ready when I pull around. 🤣🤠🌾🚜
Love it, as an old Iowa farm boy, I really enjoyed watching, can’t wait for the rest of the series on this. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
Love the series idea, would be cool to see y’all get a farm/homestead running with all equipment and vehicles that you all rescued over time !
Great show, my grandparents had a Farmall A, so smaller tractor still, brings back memories, thank you for that! Can’t wait to see more ✌️
Now I want to get an old tractor, thanks lol. Love the idea of reviving old equipment to put in and take out the crop each year.
I fully enjoyed watching this video. Being someone that loves working on old cars and tractors, you have literally the perfect channel for me. Great video Kevin!
Awesome content! As usual, that is. I'm just happy to see a Farmall. Good luck on the Prospector as well. That would be a great video as well. Those campers seem to always miss the restores because they are in such bad shape after sitting so long. It would be great to see the truck and camper revived together.
You driving down the road bouncing on the seat, I started singing 'Greeeeeen acres is the place to be.....' (That TV show may be before your time.) Old tractors never die...they just take long rests.
Outstanding. My favorite work of yours. What a great idea. Can’t wait til you find the implements.
Awesome, probably the #1 favourite of all your videos so far! Two tips though: you don't have the torque to start in 5th, I'd say 2nd, 4th, 5th, or even just 3rd to 5th. Might have to double clutch also.
Secondly, there's probably a metal screen filter in the carb where the fuel line enters that's going to be needing a clean
Edit: and this reminds me of my late dad's Ford and cockschutt tractors
Man I'm excited for the rest of this series and to know that there's a season 2 next year has me more excited for this channel than I have been in the last 4 years I've been subscribed
I’ve spent many an hour operating a 1947 Farmall H. The best times of my life.
Farm living is the life for me , cant wait to watch you plant the seeds and watch them sprout forth towards the sun.
Just sold an H . I use my M all the time for everything . Glad to see your not putting a v8 in it ..
I'm really looking forward to this series, ingenious and engaging!
I love the chemistry between you two, I can't wait for the next episode.
This is awesome. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the ensuing calamity. Epic job guy's
You guys are amazing. Keep it up Kevin.
I was wondering what the series was going to be. Can't wait for more! Keep up the great content!
2 things: 1. careful going down the road, they flip easy. 2. Sweet corn.
You guys make me feel like im there hangin with the guys. Great content and you are both very knowledgable and fun to watch.
Ive enjoyed your channel for years. But this series on abandoned farm equipment has been the best stuff yet. Great job, you hit a home run!
Those old farmalls are great tractors! I have a few down here in Kansas and love them
Topeka here
I always look forward to your videos, but I can tell I’m going to enjoy the next few even more than usual. I spend a lot of my free time trying to keep at least one of my old tractors running and it’s a lot of fun watching you guys struggle just like I do sometimes!
I drove an AW6 in Southern Australia when I was 16. I absolutely loved every minute of it! After a week in the fields my skinny "boy" arms and legs were stiff and sore! The steering was so heavy and the clutch took all my effort to push in.
Those days you filled the small gas tank, and the other with power kerosene. You started it cold on gas, warmed it up, then switched to Power Kero...she was ready for a days work!
That was in the late sixties, they were an old gal even then. It seemed like every farm in ozz had one as a second or even third hack about. They were a big part of the 20th century in this country, just as much as in the US.
And Hella fun to drive as a kid!7
Yesss love the old equipment revivals !!! Reminded me of when my grandpa paid to have his tractor’s gas tank cleaned….. got ripped off lol ….. spent a day or two watching him replace filters and cutting gaskets 😂
Even that old 2 stroke washing machine engine was cool !!!!
Keep reviving these fine works of art and engineering !!!
