HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2020
- In this video I take an in-depth look at the Farmall F-20, made by the International Harvester Company. Using my restored 1939 F-20, I review the model's history, specifications, unique features, mechanical details, the implements used with it, how to start the tractor, how to drive the tractor, and the story of its restoration from a junkyard relic to like-new condition.

Time to see another episode of the older lineup! I enjoy watching you get the old girls out.
i have not had a better professorial lecture in all my years....have learned more from this about tractors, engines, magnetos and others....all in one lecture....outstanding is an understatement....
I think that the older tractors look SO much better than the new ones. And the fact that they typically run so good
You missed your calling as an architect, Pete, you are a natural teacher.

I'm now 79 yr old and on our farm in northeastern Colorado we had IH tractors,
F20 just like this ( road on my dad's lap until I was big enough to reach the pedals)
an IH 15-30, w9 gas, wd9 diesel, SC Case with farmhand loader and a Mccormick
Deering pull type combine (that I got blisters on my rear-end from riding on the
boards that were the seat. This video brings tears to my eyes. Thank you very much.
I really enjoyed the detailed explanation of the tractor parts. I would enjoy seeing additional tractors highlighted in the same way.
I just commented on another video of Peter's, about how much I loved his tractor. And here we are!
I know nothing about tractors and somehow could not stop watching this. Really awesome job on a sweaty day. I love old tech...everything was analogue and a fixable to the common man. Now everything is so tech and built to fail that it’s obsolete in one cycle.
Loved the video on the f20. Please do more when possible. Greatly enjoy all of you and your wife's lives being shared. Thanks much.
Wow. I stumbled across this from another farming site and all I can say is that... You sir, need your own show in the History Channel. Such a well done video and the presentation and information were first class. I'm not even a farmer and I loved the info and in-depth explanations. Fantastic job!
So well stated DT, this is the best video I have ever seen on you tube. I bet it took several days to do this tutorial. I really enjoyed this!!
Hear hear!!!!!
Agreed. Your knowledge plus polished delivery plus fantastic videography add up to a professional job. Consider a segment on a majo National network!
That might have been the best video I've ever seen.
Hello Pete, 60 some years ago, my dad bought an F-20 off the neighbor to clear a couple of acres of trees and thorns to make a large garden to feed 9 mouths every day. He bought a set of steel wheels for it to save the rubber ones from the thorns. The neighbor taught us everything as you just did, and us 3 boy's plowed and disc with it every spring and again in the fall.
Great video, a real walk back through my life with that tractor. Thank you Pete!
Wow, thanks for the video, I learned a lot. My Dad parked a 1938 f 20 in the barn in 1961 and died. I was 9 years old and have wanted to get it running again ever since. I'm retired now and have time to work with it. This video explained many things that should help me get it going again.
No better time to start the project than today. I hope it turns out beautifully!
Pete your explanation of the operation and manufacture of what’s obviously a masterpiece of American engineering and creativity for the date has to be the best described that would make a modern nuclear physicist blush.
I've never been into tractors. For some reason your video was playing in the middle of the night and I woke up and I couldn't stop watching. I feel like you are speaking german, but I just couldn't look away. Now I have been binge watching your videos. Amazing stuff. Extremely knowledgeable.
Prior to this video I was afraid of this series of tractors I had little knowledge of these. This video is hugely informative and a wealth of knowledge packed tight into 39 minutes. You didn't waste one second it is well put together with SO MUCH INFORMATION, WOW!
Pete, you are a perfectionists, and once the restoration is done, people will know that it was done right. You certainly know your machines.
Hello from the UK as an Agricultural engineer working for a IH Franchise , I worked on Farmall tractors in the early 1960's so I think I'm qualified to say your description in the clip is excellent and your restoration brilliant well done
I cultivated corn with my Dad's F20 when I was 10 years old, I am 65 now. It was a 39 we would fill silos and haul manure on a 30 cow dairy
I restored a F 20 (pulling) and a F12 (show) back in the 1980s. Great tractors and fun to drive.

Pete, I’m so impressed with your enjoyment of life, whether it’s rebuilding the International Harvester H-20, or sitting in the pasture with the herd. You’ve found heaven even though it requires chores. P
I am just overwhelmed with all your knowledge. I started with a hay video a couple of weeks back, and after that there have been no going back. I have watched as many videos as possible with my time limit, and the diversity just blows me away. Your channel is just the perfect go to school for everyone. Especially politicians.
I knew Dick Stoyell for years he lived a few houses down the road. Thanks for mentioning him. Wealth of knowledge.
By the way, I understand time is a premium for you during these months, but longer videos regarding tech information revealing your knowledge of your farming equipment is always a good thing...I’m a physician, but I consider myself an auto mechanic, gunsmith, Jeep restoration expert, welder, carpenter, veterinarian, landscaper, and many other trades...all novice of course 😂, and when you have land and wear many different hats throughout the year keeping things going you tend to gravitate towards others with significant knowledge bases for support such as you...I really need to get back to work on some things but binge watching your videos late at night like this has been a guilty pleasure 😃👍
More videos please your tractors are fit for a museum the attention to details is unsurpassed. You own the Rolls Royce of tractors.
My father bought an F-20 in 1957 and it was used regularly until 2003. He always thought it was a 1936. It looked identical to yours except it had hand brakes and the seat was different. It had a channel iron stuck straight back with the seat on the end. Where was a spring at the front of the channel but it didn't help much. Never had a muffler on it, just a straight pipe. Probably why I still have ringing in my ears. Thanks for the memories.
What a great video. Solid, in-depth information and no BS. I love when you can watch and learn and not have to endure over-production and shameless self-promotion. What a pleasure to watch. Thank you!
I grew up around these tractors and your history lesson and tutorial was appreciated. Almost all of the men that used these are gone. Thanks
Another sweet video Pete, thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Absolute RUclips gold right here, I present the Jay Leno of the tractor world
I drove my Grandpa's F20 in a parade 12 or 13 years ago. It was a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed the video Pete. Great kickoff to your series on in-depth look at each of your tractors. Can’t wait till you get to your Farmall H because I have one too. Your love of your F-20 tractor is very apparent, and your knowledge level of bygone technologies is impressive.
Impressive!!!!
Very nice job. This ag engineer liked the history. You get the facts correct!
Your memory bank is outstanding, it’s amazing how much knowledge you have in so many subjects! I’m currently in the process of getting my first Dexters thanks to you, I’m really looking forward to the day I get my puppy cows 😂 on my Virginia homestead! Stay safe Pete and God bless you and your family!
Best of luck with your Dexters Michael! You'll love them!
I think the first step for new farmers, before you spend a lot of money, is to learn as much as you can and then begin small experiments as you gain experience with what you learned. I think that’s how “Just a phew acres” started.
That’s my strategy anyway.
Great video Pete! Brought back a lot of memories of my time as a kid on the farm. I am 74 now and was reared on a dairy farm in southern Wisconsin. All of our tractors were Farmalls an model H, Model M and an old F20 that was a bear to start with the crank and was always left parked on a hill for a rolling start. That old tractor was only used once a season to run the thrashing machine by the belt pulley, and to rescue the others when they got mired in mud or didn't have quite enough power to do a job. When you cranked your F20 to life, that familiar sound of raw power sent chills down my back. Thank-A-Lot . . .
I think you should do a video on where you want your farm to go in the future, talking about things like the future scale, upgrades of equipment etc, where u want your business to be in 5-10 years basically. Keep up the good work!
You did a magnificent job describing the principles of antique farmalls. I can watch your videos all day.
We also drained the water in cold temps on our F-20. Put a front end loader on and ran the hydraulics from an external pump connected to the PTO in the back. I remember most of the time parking on a hill so we would not have to crank it when we needed to run it. And yes 4th gear was a lot higher than the first three. Your video brings back many memories. Thanks for the walk through Pete.
I love getting all of this detail on these old Farmalls!
That Sir was absolutely brilliant. Good detailed technical content, fascinating. Thank you.
Good lord! That was one thorough and informative AND entertaining video! Yes yes yes, I believe I speak for all the viewers when I say, indeed, we do want to see more of these! Great job!
How much tractor usa prize. hehehe
You look so happy doing this video. Thank you... Amazes me.how.much you know. Thanks. Yes longer videos. Amazing
@@ryangrider9607 po
Thanks for taking the time to tour your F-20. I have a 1936 version all apart right now from the transmission forward, so I was paying attention. No brake pedals on my tractor, just one brake handle.
Amazing to watch. Like visiting a tractor museum. Thank you for all your hard work and your many efforts to share this valuable history. I feel honored to see this and you. Thank you.
For someone who is starting to spend more time on my family land, and who is considering planting, knowing even a little about what I need to know is great. Thank you so much for taking your time to explain that which most people might not know.
I love your tractors I've always loved looking at old tractors people has restored and take the time to take care of them
Great video brought back a lot of memories...young folks today have no idea what it was like to start a cold engine, on a cold winter day 👌
I loved your rundown of the F20. On our farm in the 50s Dad had an H, an M and super M. Later on we had a Ferguson and a 1938 A John Deere. My Dad swore by the Farmalls and swore at the JD
even though it made good power, he never liked the "popping Johnny"sound buy loved the smoothness of the
Farmall s. We even had a McCormick Deering cream separator. It worked extremely well. My Mom was a clean freak and all the discs
were hospital sanitary. We sold cream as many farmers no doubt did. They were hard times.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
I never had the pleasure of working an F series. We had an M, super A, and H. Really appreciate your knowledge of the F series and your videos. First thing my grandfather taught me was how to use the crank and the thumb position.
Dedication, perseverance and love on what you do makes things awesome, I can tell that you enjoy machinery and farming as much as your family, good content and super knowledgeable.
"Seems like that's what we're always trying to do in this world - prove to people what we can do." Came for the old tractor, stayed for the hidden wisdom.
That tractor is beautiful. I have my eyes set on a Ford Jubilee. I used to use one on my grandfathers farm. I’m glad you’re showing how these old tractors can still be useful.
Those rear wheels are cool and, yes, make more videos.
My father bought and restored an F-12 with steel rear wheels and 1 single wheel up front, very rare. He had one as a kid but his father (my grandfather) donated it where it is still in display today. Took my father a long time to find one exactly like it
Those F-12 pie-plate single front wheels are rare!
Excellent video - I thought I knew all about the F series but learned several new things from you. Keep up the great videos - I get a vicarious thrill from watching you farm and learning about how you make it work successfully in today's world.
Thanks Philip!
Great job! I was awed by my uncle's 1938 John Deere G as a child when I sat on his lap and "drove" it and it inspired me to buy a 1941 B way back in 1969. Later, I was able to acquire my uncle's G and I haven't been able to stop. I now have eight 2 cylinder tractors. He also had a Farmall. You have inspired me to try and add one to my collection of old green iron. Please keep the great videos coming!
We had an F-20 with a mounted 2- row corn picker. Caught fire in the field one fall and burned up! Hello Super M-TA.
Excellent job on the restoration.
My dad had a FarmAll B that I had to work on as a kid because he hurt his back. You touched on a lot of stuff that I have seen but did not understand completely until now. My maternal grandfather had a FarmAll F-12, my paternal grandfather had a M. I enjoy this kind of video immensely.
Your working knowledge of is of love and respect of this tractor. I salute you and all that have Classic Tractor Fever!
A very accurate detailed description of the F-20. Thank you for sharing your experience with these well designed tractor.
Gordon Rice was my cousin. He was a really nice person and held a lot of knowledge. I believe the parts shop in Clarion Pa. is still in business. Thank you for sharing this fantastic video.
You just blew me away. Best tractor video on RUclips. Incredible detail. Beautiful machine.
i know nothing about tractors. but i have enjoyed watching this.
Outstanding presentation. It’s very clear that you used to be an architect. Excellent communication and technical knowledge. You’re like a modern Thomas Jefferson.
This is THE best video I have seen on RUclips where the presenter shares a wealth of knowledge about a restored vehicle. Great presentation style, lots of good technical information, and the pride of ownership shows. I think a person could do this only if they struggled through a ground up restoration and know every nut, bolt and fitting like the back of their hand. Great job.
Thanks Tom! I'm currently doing another ground-up restoration of a 1953 Farmall Super C tractor on RUclips, if you're interested.
Most enjoyable. As an Irish man brought up on a farm we were steeped in Ferguson tractor ideas. It is interesting listening to you explain that in America people had their own ideas that suited their particular type of farming. Thanks you for your passionate presentation. Regards Patrick.
Very informative, Pete! I’m not mechanically inclined but your explanations were presented in a way that everyone can understand! Would love to see more.
I am from ont Canada I love all what you do on the farm and all the information that you love to share about all your equipment I really appreciate your interest
Your knowledge of the F-20 and your ability to speak to it and its history is amazing/excellent/phenomenal !!
Yes sir, I'll listen to anything you have to say about tractors. The meat processing, I'm a little squeamish on but I can pick through the tractor related videos. Thank you so much for what you share with us. This is very valuable information in many ways. We can't just run down to the local book store and find this stuff.
Excellent and this is from a ‘city slicker’ that grew up in the wrong part of the country! It amazes me of your round knowledge of things and then be able to explain it to those that want to learn!
A+ video. I'd definitely like to see more of them. The detailed look into the different features is cool.
First tractor I drove. Thanks for the new information and old memories.
yay a new video
you inspired me to try and run my own farm
thanks for all you do!
Please do some more f these full reviews of you`r tractors.. This was great and `gave so much information showing how` `the tractors` purpose was originally.
Needless to say, tractor maintenance was the most important part of a full day of field work. This was the best video of an F-20 I've ever seen. Thank you for posting it.
I have been around those tractors all my life and you got it down!
Great series, looking forward to seeing the next in-depth presentation!
I always enjoy anything to do with vintage tractors and implements. They bring back a ton of memories from my younger years on the farm. Thank you for sharing them with us.
I love old tractors, something about the Farmalls... appeals to the inner boy in me 😆 I have an irrationally desire to have a Cub. Fun video, love seeing how well thought out and well built stuff from this era is.
Yep Cubs are irrational get at least a B. You will thank me later for the extra torque.
Love this video Please make more. We are working on a 1940 H right now so cannot wait for the H Video.
Same year as my H!
Lots of great info again... So much so that I called my dad who was a John Deere mechanic in upstate NY for years and told him he had to watch this... Great content and channel 👍
Found out this was my great grandfather's first tractor when he replaced the team of horses on his Iowa farm. Wonderful to learn more about this tractor - thank you for the video.
Pete, your commentary on the Farmall is most entertaining and informative. Yes I would like to see and hear alike wise on each tractor. Your memory on details y quite a talent. Bob
LOVE this!!!!
Makes me feel as though I'm THERE, working on the beautiful F-20!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Mechanics are a hobby of mine and you have a gift for explaining how things operate. I hope you continue making these for years to come. Thanks
Great presentation!!The old F-Series Farmall Tractors were one of my favorites.I always admired a neighbor's F-12 Farmall Tractor on Rubber,as a child.Painted Red as well.Do not recall what year it was.One of the earliest things I remember back in Michigan when I was about 4 years old is the neighbor driving one by the house with trailor hooked on to cut firewood down on the corner from our house.I ran out of house to go down and watch him.He had Advanced Chronic Emphysema,and passed away shortly after this.About 1964.It was always kept in the garage where you could see it.I am sure it was a prized possession he kept from the farm he owned previously.Emphysema caused him to give up farming.My dad tried buying it a couple times,but his wife would not sell it.Eventually it was given to one of their children....
Hi Jeffrey, my grandfather had an F12 and I remember playing on it when I was a kid. I love to hear folks' memories about old tractors.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm I am attached to all makes and models of old tractors,as I was raised in the country around Greenville,Mi.Farms all around us,and old tractors being used.I am a transplant to the Rocky Mountain Northwest,and living in Anaconda,Montana now.Have not seen any old tractors here living in town,however.Miss the country life....
My brother still has the F-20 that my dad bought from our grandfather. One of the things I remember most about it was shutting it down / killing the engine. You had to get off of the tractor, walk around to the tractor's right side and press and hold a narrow, stiff copper strip on the side of the magneto to the side of the magneto case (effectively grounding out the magneto, eliminating electricity flowing to the spark plugs) until the engine came to a full stop. If the soil happened to be pretty damp one could get quite "a charge" from the magneto. I was a dumb kid around 12 years old back then, but I quickly learned to find a stick or something to push against that copper strip in order to kill the engine. I'm 64 now and now think the F20 is cool, but I can't say I was a big fan back when I actually had to plow (one-way) with it. Nice video! Thanks!
My dad had an F20 on his 60acre dairy farm in Gisborne NZ 1945 to 1954. Had both steel wheels and rubber wheels. All the cultivator and power takeoff as well. He used it mainly for cropping. I remember he did like it a lot.
I bought my first Farmall last week an F20...Thank you so much for a very nkce video I learned a couple things that will no doubt help prolong the life of my tractor.
I never get tired of watching this video I can watch it over and over. Nice looking tractor.
So many things I did not know about the F series- thanks, Pete!
Thanks Pete, I love to learn about the old tractors. I spent many days back in the 70's sitting on the fender of a 966.
Thanks so much for this video, Pete. I just got home from buying an F-20 and this kept me from sounding like a complete idiot 😂. Thanks for all you do!
Pete love what you`re doing. I'm no farmer but I love old equipment . really like the farmers market an going to the auctions with you an your father . Times sure have changed I'm only 58 but remember a lot of old-timer talking at the breakfast spot. thing just aren't what they used to be for the small fella farming . keep up the good work tell Hillary she is definitely a good help mate . pray GODs blessing upon you an the farm .
Thank you so much for the in-depth look at the F-20. Well done Sir!
Pete, thank you for the great walkthrough. What a treasure Trove of information. I love it.
Great Video! I was born in 1938. A F-20 was Dad's first tractor, I am guessing he bought it used. It is first tractor I remember. We farmed with it till 1952, when we moved to a larger farm and Dad traded it in for a brand new Super M. By that time he had upgraded it with an electric starter kit and an additional road gear. I was excited when the dealer delivered the Super M, but even though I was a tough 14 year old farm kid (I thought), I shed tears when they hauled away the old F-20!
That was an excellently delivered “lecture” on the unique features of this tractor.
Amazing engineering for its time. Well worth minding and maintaining for future generations to see.
You did a great job on rehabbing that tractor. You are absolutely right about needing a Service and Parts manual for any tractor
You just made my day with showing the International truck.
I am looking forward to the project.
Pete you just infinitely increased my knowledge and respect for the machinery and ingenuity of the early manufacturers. Fascinating stuff. I now understand my uncles fascination with tractor restoration!
An excellent and informative description of the workings and features of the F20 .If the tractor was still in production today your video would make an ideal introduction to a prospective owner or driver , even better than the operators handbook . A first class presentation !
One of the best informative videos I have seen on older farmalls
This was great. Love the longer vid. Yes do more like this please. It is very nice to hear the descriptive history and how every part of the tractor relates. Plus a extended time we get to look closely at this beautiful machine is much appreciated. I have not felt this relaxed in weeks. Thanks.
I've often wondered what I was looking at when this type of tractor appeared. Thanks for the very informative video. You explained everything so clearly.
Really enjoyed this! My grandfather farmed wheat in central Kansas using 2 F-20s. When we'd visit him from Texas, he sometimes let me drag a harrow around a field some.
