The tractor is a 1939 Farmall F20, 1939 is the only year with a V-belt unless converted. The writing on the gas tank is McCormick Derring. These were real stump pullers.
Those things did not make a lot of horsepower but they were stout tractors . i have 2 farmall H tractors and a cub i have restored and just love them .
It would be! Sadly with that hole in the valve cover and rear diff its gone. Water has rusted the inside of them beyond repair, I doubt you could even disassemble it.
Looks like an old McCormick Deering Farmall. If nothing else it was good just to see it ! Just a little beyond fixing ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Great vid Marty, I think it is a McCormick Deering Farmall Regular possibly from late 1920's or early1930's. Looks to me that the steel seat is easily salvageable and worth a few bucks to a collector. Thanks for posting, always interesting to see these old abandoned units and even more so to see them salvaged.
I'm sitting here watching this thinking wow that's been sitting there a long time, since the olden days! Then I remembered how old I am and realised that it actually broke down and was abandoned there when I was a child 😳
Judging by the flat fan belt on the water pump, my guess is a mid to late 20s Farmall Regular. It could be a later F series but either way, it's a Farmall from International Harvester Co. under the McCormick Deering label.
RUclips Kenny Kizzle has 18 or 19 episodes on refurbishing a Farmall F20. Here is a link to the first episode if you are interested. ruclips.net/video/PuZ5anXNEUQ/видео.html
Martin Benton, I believe that cable is for operating the radiator shutters for burning heavier fuels like Kerosene. I need to watch the video again to see if the tractor has the all fuel manifold on it.
Missing the point entirely. An historian, an nostalgic. Celebrate the sheer folly & madness of men & machines! Thanks Marty for more entertaining jaunts into the past.
@@ReinQuest Did International Harvester make the McCormick Farmall? Ah yes, they did (Google is our friend). Apparently there's a video somewhere on RUclips showing a bunch of them and teaching folks like me a thing or 2.
what an amazing find in the woods. I bet that old girl has a great story on how she ended up there. The amount of deterioration is unbelievable. I was expecting Indiana Jones to pop out at some point.
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I would really love to see you get that thing running. If you made a whole series on it, you can count on me to watch the whole thing through. Please attempt it. Like if you want to see this beast run again.
Yes sir I wish I could pop in and help him on that one. Its sort of like why did you climb that mountain? Because its there. As a jack of all trades and tinkerer of all sorts I could not walk away from that one. It might take a few years but with some skill and some time and luck in finding a few parts it would happen. Here in Pennsylvania US, we have many old tractor salvage yards. I'll have to do some research and digging but I think I know a place nearby that actually may have some parts for it.
This is a rare tractor and every tractor this old is worth saving. Laziness in kids today is why nothing ever gets done. Everything can be cleaned, sandblasted and rebuilt. everything has a story, and there is a story that has to be told here, why it is in an island and why it was left there.Look at what museums do to get old steam engines running. They have to hand-replicate all the parts from raw metal, and they bring engines back from a pile of scrap metal, and often spend 5-10 years of work restoring them.
I'd love to see it running again but the cost and complexity would be far too large. Just getting it off the island and back to his place would be a massive and risky undertaking. Then there's the cost of finding serviceable parts for a century old tractor. Some people may have all the money in the world to throw at projects but the vast majority of us simply can't afford to sadly
Looks at solid wall of vegetation with a six foot bank. There's an easy way up. I keep waiting for one of those venomous snakes, spiders, or giant sharks to gobble you up but you keep on going. Great video and thanks for taking us along.
It's a 1936 and later Farmall F-20. Interesting that the decals say McCormick deering big and farmall small. Opposite of here in the U.S. It's also a Narrow tread tractor.
@@prestcoldandy910 No tools on this trip. Marty seemed to be boating for pleasure and decided to follow up the info when he found himself in this area.
Great piece of history. There was probably no Forrest in that area 50 years ago. Can you imagine living in a farm there? Such beautiful and quiet place.
There's an easy way to restore this. You buy another tractor just like it, then start swapping parts. About the time that you've swapped out every part, you'll have this back home in your workshop, and the other tractor in the bush. Then just start up the one in the bush and drive it out. Simple! :-) My father-in-law had a tractor about this age. The boys would start it by chaining it up to a Ford 8N, then pulling the Farmall until it started. Had to be quick on the clutch or they'd run over the Ford. Good puller, though...
If you return to this site, it might be useful for you and others to look for and record any Serial Numbers or possibly a makers plate to better learn more history of the machine. Also, Squatch253 would be a good resource for this make and model of tractor and many other tractor/dozer matters. Really enjoy your videos! Best wishes from Buffalo, NY USA Roy Lewis

NZ’s answer to Crocodile Dundee you are ... without the Bowie knife and the dynamite and well ... the crocodiles but still crazy skills and fucking well grounded. Your vids are like little personality pills for men everywhere. Cheers!
it's amazing how much more destructive the jungle is than an open pasture. i know of one of these that has been sitting about as long behind a barn, in a pasture with cows, but it is in much better shape than this. you couldn't talk the old farmer that owns it into selling it though. he remembers when his dad got it when he was a kid, and he's in his 80's.
@@paulcaltabiano8292 it's beside the Marlborough Sounds at the top end of the South Island of New Zealand..the Sounds are sea water inlets so that would have had a severe impact on the rustability of the tractor.
Iv never been interested in heavy machinery like this but coming across the hitachi excavator I’m hooked,the storey from finding these abandoned machines to getting them working again is wicked,right now to watch this 👍👍
Looks to be a old McCormick-Deering Farmall, of the vintage sometimes referred to as the Deering(s), and later just the McCormick Farmall, a popular tractor in the States, and must admit to running a 1940's model around my uncles farm for way to long..with me keeping it going, when it should have been in a museum,lol. But that ones to far gone, and is a donation-to-the-earth piece now.
@@ronalddaub5049 give him a break, he's only seeing half each letter, probably never heard the name before Not to mention trying not to be dinner for something else
Marty, I've been following you on your channel for over a year, it's interesting... let me ask you a question... The Bulldozer tractors, mini tractors that you found abandoned... Do you keep them for free or do you have to return them to their owners?......Gracias.....Desde España.....
It’s a McCormick-Deering made by International Harvester. The McCormick-Deering line was the name used in markets outside the US. In the US, the IH name was used. I believe it’s a F series tractor, maybe an F-12?
Thanks for the full video on the search Marty, even though it wasn’t a win for you, I enjoyed it immensely. I’m pleased someone told you what make and model it is as well. 👍
When I was younger I had a great side business of finding old caterpillars and abandoned heavy equipment then selling them for parts. It was always like a treasure hunt. Lots of old mines and logging camps in the mountains. Equipment was everywhere and it was a great feeling to bring life to a forgotten piece of history. Gosh I miss those days.
Pull it out, if nothing else it may be a project for someone else, save the old iron whenever possible...I'm sure there are some decent parts that restorers could use down the line.
I see a challange right there, maybe disassemble it and move it bit by bit out. The cast iron itself is hard to rust away, but if water frose in it it could be cracked. Gears tend to only get surface rust, and even if pitted they are so robust on a tractor that it may not cause a problem. crankshaft and other bearing surfaces could need to be undercut and installed with oversize sleeve's. If the block has cylinder sleeves it's easy fix to change them. Or just change the engine, it's not uncommon to see old tractors fitted with diesel truck engines.

Some of the parts on it are fairly valuable. Like the seat that's on it. Anyone who restores these old tractors love to get a hold of vintage ones for rebuilds.
The tractor is a 1939 Farmall F20, 1939 is the only year with a V-belt unless converted. The writing on the gas tank is McCormick Derring. These were real stump pullers.
Thats what I thought.
I was thinking F12, but I was just doing a Google image search for McCormick Deering and trying to see what it looks like
Ant it a John Deere d
Those things did not make a lot of horsepower but they were stout tractors . i have 2 farmall H tractors and a cub i have restored and just love them .
@@hilledairy4712 No, definitely not a Deere.
This is insane, if you got that running you'd be the king of the internet lol
It would be! Sadly with that hole in the valve cover and rear diff its gone. Water has rusted the inside of them beyond repair, I doubt you could even disassemble it.
There's no way that'll ever run. the engine is seized and the wheels are rusted through and there are holes everywhere.
Hold my beer..

Just replace about 75% of the parts and it will work again like new 😂
Looks like an old McCormick Deering Farmall.
If nothing else it was good just to see it !
Just a little beyond fixing ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Thanks mate I'll look it up
I was thinking the same thing.
what,you didnt bring some gas and a battery. and maybe some wd40.
About ten gallons and dont forget the duct tape.maybe a new set of plugs and spme sandpaper.
@@josephbragg5445 dont forget crazy glue gell , tie wire and some drywall screws. that was a beautiful tractor.
Better bring an Act of God too. 'cause that's what it's gonna take.
It won't need a battery.
The only thing that will make that tractor move now is a stick of Dynamite .

Thanks Bob
Forget the tractor! What a Beautiful country you live in. Great vid, Thanks for sharing.
That tractor has been sitting longer than the dang excavator but dang it is cool to see history work again hopefully
What a shame she was left, but it will slowly feed the bush overtime.
I love your part of the shakies. My wife spent 4 weeks there a few years ago.
“It’s amazing what you find in the bush” truer words have never been spoken my friend. Good day.
Take the seat!
haha, exactly my thought. i can't believe it's still there, I'd make a bar stool
Those seats are worth more than a few dollars by themselves.
Judging by how many views your excavator vidoe got. Getting this to move might be profitable.
Scania1982 I’d say if he chose to get this running he’d break the internet with views !
Yeah deff want to see that running
Lol that things shot u better get that excavator to bring in a new engine
@@louissakal2048 use the excavator to haul the tractor out...in pieces if necessary. it needs more than an engine i think.
I don't think it would be worth destroying what grows around it. That tractors belongs to mother nature now.
A bad day on the water beats a good day at work anytime.
Beautiful nature! You are lucky to live near such a beautiful lands.

I was thinking the same thing. I"m 79 so it was built about the same time I was.
Judging by the flat fan belt on the water pump, my guess is a mid to late 20s Farmall Regular. It could be a later F series but either way, it's a Farmall from International Harvester Co. under the McCormick Deering label.
Wow thanks, she's nearly an antique
You can confirm that at 6:55 and 7:55

You are right. It even has the turning brake cable running from the front end to the rear brake.
MB BAR RANCH
Martin Benton, I believe that cable is for operating the radiator shutters for burning heavier fuels like Kerosene. I need to watch the video again to see if the tractor has the all fuel manifold on it.
That tractor you found rusting away is a Farmall Macormic Dearing F 12
Awesome find! Love the old Barry yarns that turn out to be true.
You can dismantle in pieces and reasseble at home, almost you have some iron to show, good work !
Nick Van Deer Peers now you’re talking!!
And.. That might be interesting and pretty worthy...
I would like to see it running brother...
Running to dismantle and rebuilt, the big block if has a little oil can reborn
i will take sixteen thousand dollars from each of you and make it happen ok.
Missing the point entirely. An historian, an nostalgic. Celebrate the sheer folly & madness of men & machines!
Thanks Marty for more entertaining jaunts into the past.
Looks to be an Early 30's Mc Cormic Farmall F series the way the steering box and gas tank look
Many blessings , SMR
Yea, not sure which one but it’s an old F series from IH.
definetly a farmall

Did International Harvester make the McCormick Farmall?
Ah yes, they did (Google is our friend). Apparently there's a video somewhere on RUclips showing a bunch of them and teaching folks like me a thing or 2.
As old as it is it’s going to be mc cormic -dearing, later on farmall was incorporated and dearing was dropped.

You found what is most likely a Farmall F-20 tractor built between 1932 - 1939 by International Harvester.
Judging by the V belt it was a late model.
Early F20s had a flat belt.
36, or 37 would be my guess.
No coolant pump, so not a F30.
It's a 1936 and later Farmall F-20.
Interesting that the decals say McCormick deering big and farmall small. Opposite of here in the U.S.
It's also a Narrow tread tractor.
I was thinking 35 but you might be right
@@sliderinc1 reason I say 36 is the steering gear box has ribs where the bolts go through. In '35 the box is round and smooth with no ribs.
Yup 1936 McCormick Deering Farmall F-20
Why dont he take the seat home ?
@@prestcoldandy910 No tools on this trip. Marty seemed to be boating for pleasure and decided to follow up the info when he found himself in this area.
Great piece of history.
There was probably no Forrest in that area 50 years ago.
Can you imagine living in a farm there? Such beautiful and quiet place.
Isn't it more likely that it was used to drag logs out of the forest down to the shore for transport to a mill in a logging operation?
Hmmm the lovely sound of thousands of mosquitoes
G. Gruba Forrest Gump.
There was definitely forest there 50 years ago.
Marty did say that the tractor was used to haul (drag) logs down to the beach.
So forest did exist.
Landscape and water are beautiful.
Quite a rare tractor. Many good parts there to help keep another better one on the road. The gearbox, radiator and one wheel are worth taking.
Yeah mate! Like a good old dog. Sometimes it's better to let 'em go. Excellent!!
Even though this tractor is a fail, the video was still enjoyable to watch. Good video.
Indeed
Would make a great video if the right man could resarect it.
I would be cool to see you get it out and take it home
Spoiler alert
There is still some cool parts on it.
It looks like an old McCormick Farmall those track antique tractor seats are worth a lot of money

My dad took all those old tractor seats and make chairs from them
its got lots of nice old parts knobs seat wheels, great art
The lettering may be McCormick Farmall.
I don’t know Marty. I think maybe a fuel filter and a new battery would do it.
Looks about like a '38 or '39 Farmall but I can't tell if it is an F-20 or F-30
Yup, Farmall. Beautiful country mate.

Restore it.
I went on a little jaunt like this once and came across a Japanese soldier who didn't know the war had ended!
Another one brilliant. I have two to uncover as well, one is also on an island

I would suggest, take it as a challenge. It would be worthy.
A challenge is not going crazy that is just insane.
It's A McCormick far all tractor.
Love those old seats, that would have definitely been coming back with me.
Take it home a piece at a time what a project
FINALLY found one you can't resurrect !
We had two of them restored , its a 1940s fordson.. My grandpa had a fleet of old tractors ..
Definitely not a fordson
I see a challange right there, maybe disassemble it and move it bit by bit out.
The cast iron itself is hard to rust away, but if water frose in it it could be cracked.
Gears tend to only get surface rust, and even if pitted they are so robust on a tractor that it may not cause a problem.
crankshaft and other bearing surfaces could need to be undercut and installed with oversize sleeve's.
If the block has cylinder sleeves it's easy fix to change them.
Or just change the engine, it's not uncommon to see old tractors fitted with diesel truck engines.
A beautiful day on the water and a great adventure. I'd call that a win even if the tractor was too far gone to save. 👍👍
Grab the tractor seat, you could make a bar stool out of it
You could park it in your front yard. Or make the seat into something.
