Not everyone . . . I have been repairing and reworking all manner of objects for my entire life. Single-parent Dad raised me as if Great Depression never ended. I am thankful for that. I am 70 now, in my 20s and 30s I taught several other women to change their vehicle oil, and other routine car maintenance tasks. It's not a life style, it's life!

Good morning Pete. I am watching this video, smiling as memories of my Dad come rushing back. That blue handle pliers does it every time. I still use dads. It's my favorite one in his old toolbox. For some reason that old plier feels good in the hand. He passed back in 2013 but I know he would love your channel and would be glued to your rebuild videos. He was always tinkering with something related to machines/equipment. As the years go by, missing him gets easier but I love the memories you bring back. Makes me feel like he is just outside in the garage again. Thank you Pete. ❤ Stay safe!
@@GregCollard-cq5yg It's all good, as the pliers don't know what they are working on. Unfortunately that is also true of politicians, except we lose the 'it's all good' part!
I lost my dad in 1968. I still have his favorite pair of pliers, not blue handled, but I know exactly what you mean about how they feel in hand. My favorite pair of dozens in the shop. I have several pair of the blue handle ones, all made in the USA.
This video reminded me of just how much I love your channel, Pete. Thank you-as always for the attention you take making the video itself, camera angles and shots, editing, etc. Always top shelf-you're one of the best RUclipsrs there are, Pete! Hands down! Thanks so much again!!
I m the recycling Queen .Mostly with wood, Love how you take things apart and put back together and show us how it's done, Every thing now is throw away So sad. Thanks Pete,
Hello Pete. One trick we did with our Stoddard solvent tank was to put about 1/2 an inch of clean water in the bottom of the tank bottom. The circulation pump had a stand off plate that raised the pump up about 3/4 of an inch above the bottom of the tank. We did this so when the solvent cleans the parts and the dirt will drop out of the solvent into the water after the pump is shut off. The interface between the water and the solvent keeps the higher solvent cleaner for a lot longer. When you change the solvent we would pump out the used solvent into a container for recycling and remove the dirty water for disposal.
I'm about as mechanically inclined as a monkey, but I love watching you do stuff like this. It actually makes me WANT to learn that type of work, but I'm way too old for that now. As usual, another great video Pete and Hil. Thank you and enjoy the weekend!
I use the same parts washing solvent from TSC. By the way, breathing air causes cancer in California. And on the subject of making things work instead of buying new, I grew up in the 50s and 60s. We had no other choice. We had to fix what we had. We owned a little general store in out tiny town. I remember we sold patch kits for cook pots. The cheap thin pots everyone had would develop holes and we sold little kits of rivets to plug the holes. We also sold radio tubes, inner tube patches, horse shoes and just about everything else to fix stuff with.
I’m am currently watching this video in my shop while tearing down an old ford 3pt hitch hay rake simply because I like fixing things that most people think can’t be fixed.
Thanks Pete and Hillarie. What a great video. We're in rural N.C. where my dad owned 33 acres of land that used to be part of a large pulp wood forest. Pulp wood is mostly loblolly pines with what were called "trash trees" (Sweetgum, etc.). Daddy would borrow a tractor and implements - he was planting legumes in those areas that needed nutrition in the soil. My dad's advantage was he was an airplane mechanic and had at his disposal not just a machine shop, but painting and welding areas. I remember on one occasion he completely rebuilt a Ford 9M and he did it in less than a week since he had at hand all the tools he would need. He rebuilt many implements. The local farmers were lining up to have their tractors and/or implements used by my dad.
One more ingenious use of that excavator! Pretty soon you will be using it to do needlepoint and embroidery. There IS a perfume that bears the scent of old grease---it is called "Eau de Mechanic" and only the select can wear it well. I am positive that Hillary is very familiar with said perfume and how it is worn best on a man who wears tee shirts and flannel. My husband has found a source and wears it most days. Love these antique and renewal videos. It is what makes being a resourceful person feel so right.
I really love watching you work on these old pieces of farm equipment. It’s great to see them put back into use. I especially love the shot of the 856 when you were inspecting the yellow rim. That tractor is gonna look really sharp when you are finished.
I remember us using an old plow like that. I was just so young then I don't remember it much. I'm glad to see you restore that and I can't wait to see you use it.
I love videos like this one, Pete. I can't count the number of bearings I took off, cleaned, inspected, regressed, and reinstalled during my career. Must be in the thousands anyway. Watching you bring things back to life is awesome.
Fundamental small farm principles. This work takes on a different dimension during fall harvest where breakdowns, threatened by changing weather, can put into play the survivability of the farm. In the middle of the field at 2 am with pickup truck lights illuminating the repair effort.
a bit late but, if you think the sod is going to be hard plowing, I recommend you cobble some coulters onto that plow or alternatively give the sod a light disking to give the plow bottoms an easier time cutting through and rolling the sod under
That solvent causes “California in the state of cancer” as AVE would say. lol. Pete you always inspire me to want to fix up old tractors and equipment. Then I realize it’s much more enjoyable watching you do it lol. Maybe some day once I have a big enough shop to have some side projects I will be able to enjoy it. This February I plan to frost seed our pastures with a variety of red clover and orchard grass. Last February I frost seeded white clover on about 12 acres just to see how it would take. It did awesome. We had so much clover on that pasture. It was amazing to see the difference in how green the grass was where the clover was vs where it wasn’t. ( clover shares nitrogen for anyone reading this that doesn’t know) The clover plus moving the cattle every day has made a huge difference in our pastures this season. I’m really excited for next year! Thanks for sharing!
@@johnmarlow2887 He's mentioned wanting to build a dedicated shop building before, but he decided against it, iirc. I think his plan for "retirement" is to wind down most of the farm operations and do tractor restoration as a side hustle.
Coffee on a Sunday morning with “Just a Few Acres”. My comfort place on a chilly fall morning. Thank you for sharing your morning with me. A warm good morning to you and Hilary from over here in Ontario Canada.
That was an EXCELLENT video! I love stuff like this. Your subtle humour with measurements and figures make me chuckle. I hope you’ll show us more of the bringing-back-to-life of this old plough. I’m a bit like your paint job; I look better from forty feet away! 😉😂 I’m in a farming part of the U.K. and always enjoy stuff like this. Thanks for sharing, Pete.
Pete, I have been watching your videos for several years. I enjoy your restoration efforts, the cows, chickens, and hogs when you had them. Keep up the great work!!!!!
Good morning. 🌞 There's nothing better than Sunday morning coffee and a new video. I can not express how much both my husband and I look forward to seeing what you're going to be up to on the farm. As always, thank you for taking time out of your busy day to share your wonderful videos with us. 😊
Pete, you did it again. Another great video. I especially liked watching you use that fancy tire breakdown machine. Always enjoy watching you do repairs and in general, everything you do on the farm. You have such a nice looking farm. Thanks for including us. God Bless.
Pete you’ve been getting your money’s worth out of that Case mini back hoe. It digs ditches, removes stumps, takes down small trees, removes fence posts, gathers brush to load on a trailer and now breakers tire beads. That’s one serious multi-tasker!
Yes, this is Nanette Hopkins. I’m originally from Connecticut. I’m 85 years old P and I love your show. I love Hillary. I love your kids. I love you. I just love what you do. I think you’re just a beautiful human being.! Thank you for bringing me so many sweet pleasant memories of my childhood on a farm in Connecticut! You make my day I wait for your show all the time ! 0:12
We own 300 acres outside Austin where my great grandfather used to run cows, still have all the old barns and runs. Same tractor and over the years been amazing watching my grandfather run it along with using all the old implements all made before I was born.
While you were removing those seals and bearings from the axles, it reminded me travelling about 15 miles away to W.J. Heaslip Farm Equipment in Nelles Corners, Ontario. The parts fellow would pore over rows and rows of parts books on a long desk behind the counter to find whatever part you were looking to get. I liked looking at the new shiny equipment parked out front.
I really enjoy watching you re-purpose and repair the old equipment on your farm. I remember my grandfather and uncle doing it to get by on their small farm as a child. To this day rebuilding something to put back in use is one of my most enjoyable hobbies.
I loved this video, there were so many different things to notice and learn about from you, we even got to hear Patty yell at you 🤣🤣. Thank you and Hilary for sharing this with us. It made waking up way better. Have a great day.
Excellent Video Pete :) , Hilary :) yes my late elders who farm years ago used old machinery plus vehicles for years plus rebuild too when need! Plus my one grandfather 3 tractor and my one uncle still has it plus restored fully too! I seen couple years ago and nice surprise it 1955 year surprise still on section of my grandfather father had years ago but since 1964 my uncle and aunt still on ! There in 70's age still farm too plus with Racing Horses!
Love the fall colors of your farm. Endless patience fixing vintage equipment! ❤ to you and Hil. Looking forward to Wednesday’s video. You do two jobs simultaneously. Your regular work plus videography.
I love watching you work on the old machinery. It reminds me of how I used to work on them. Don’t buy new and you can fix up the old cause it’s going to be better than the new My dad taught me that a long time ago and I know he’s looking over my shoulder so that’s the way I used to do it. Keep up the good work I’ll be watching.
It’s more satisfying taking something old & making it work again & & learning instead of spending too much money for something new and being upset the first time it gets scratched
Pete absolutely love the video. I to like to bring old equipment back to life. Looking forward to the end result, and watching it used to plow the field.
I'm so glad to see you doing restoration work again. I know that you enjoy that kind of thing and it shows in your videos. I can't wait to see how the 856 comes out. Bless you and your family Pete!🙋
My brother bought an IH 560 in about 1976. He also bought an old 3 bottom plow. We used a chunk of broken red brick to polish the moldboards and got them to scour up to that mirror finish. The 3rd bottom arm was sprung so we heated it and bent it back into place with a fence post as a lever. Worked pretty good. Good luck with your plowing project.
Always interesting to take a fencerow item and turn it into a useable machine. When you're starting on a shoestring, fancy doesn't pay the bills. Great to see you and Hillary working together.
I enjoyed this very much, I am about to start on a similar project this fall. A john Deere #55H . I look forward to seeing more videos about this plow.
