I lived in a log cabin with my Grandparents for a while. Someone drove up the hill one day and ran over Old Lady Tome's cat. It was the headline of the local paper. For three weeks. It was finally upstaged when grandpas Sears and Roebuck brass bed showed up. This reminds me of that.
Sweet memories! My Dad had a JD Model B that was a favorite work tractor in our farming community. It was just 'special'. Dad was always cautions on straining the gears and rear end, though he accepted a challenge to help pull out a large set of concrete steps when the local church was being torn down. A Farmall M was chained to one side and his JD B to the other side. As both tractors hunkered down, the rear draw bar of the M tore lose! The B strained, but under more throttle it pulled the steps to the side and then Dad showed off by putting it in 1st gear, and walked off with the entire group of steps. Dad never used 1st except to put the tractor into a tight shed, and/or to move something impossibly heavy. This JD had cast iron centers on the rear wheels, and, the tires were filled with fluid; it could seemingly pull anything.
Gotta love both of those classic sounds! Between the two, the IH sound just takes me back a little further. My great uncle had two- a 1948 C and a 1950 H.
Thanks! I really enjoyed this vid of you guys having some fun! I remember Grandpa's Johnny Pop making those whiny noises from the planetary drive under load!
I love the Super M. And even though we farm with red power I have to say that from watching antique tractor pulls that those two cyl JD motors have some serious lugging power. It's that long stroke they have.
What an awesome video Wes! The M was the first tractor I ever drove when I was very young and now Dad has all Deere. I still love the unique sound the M makes though. Thanks for sharing the farm fun with 3 generations Wes!
Lonely farmer I’ve been watching that video between you and Tim since you two first appeared now you need to get an orange one two see how the orange dose against the green enjoy still watching that video still today maybe someday little William will compete but not with his ca but a WD forty five might give you a challenge with a little extra weight keep up the good work
I love the sound of those 2 cylinder Deeres. I grew up on an H, a couple of A's & my grandfathers old D. By the time I was 12 & 13 yrs old I was starting the old D by hand.
Great video! Brings back some very fond memories of when my brother and I stayed with my Aunt and Uncle in Woodward Oklahoma. He had a JD and it sounded the same but I couldn't tell you what it was, besides lots of fun to ride on.
In the late 50's when I was a little girl, I used to sit under an apple tree and listen to Mr. Pott's old John Deere pull a wire baler around a homesteader's 40 acre field. To me it was somehow entrancing to watch, and at one point, the tracker began to spout smoke rings. His old tractor had no muffler, so the pop from the engine was distinctive. As a matter of fact, your farm looks a lot like ours. It was in rural Oregon, at a place called Ladd Hill. It is one of the fonder memories of my childhood.
Storytime! We udes to own a toe cylnder 730 JD i called the putt-putt tractor cause of the sound in made while runnung. Dad always said the more you dogged the engine ie the lower th rps the more power it would make. One of his time honored stories is cultivating 43 acres of corn with that 730, 6 row cultivator, and here's the kicker only 11 gallons of fuel! Everytime I here your 60 it reminds me of our putt-putt tractor. Thanks for the memories sir.
I was scrolling through u tube and I found this at that time I was new to u tube and I didn't know how to leave comments but now I do I was raised on the poppin John deer an A G and a 730 diesel brought back memories I enjoyed watching and listening to the John Deer work
When I was little, I got to help the neighbor farmers quite a bit. But the biggest thrill was driving the super M tractor that our landlord owned. That, and the old Plymouth car for taking meals out to the farmers. Where I lived all the neighboring farmers helped each other when needed. Brings back great memories.
Fond memories of the farmer that used to plow the snow from everyones driveway in town with his ancient putt-putt JD , We could hear him coming a mile away back then : ) Thank you so much !!
My nephew’s father in law restored a Super M-TA. That’s a healthy engine for a gas job, and he always did well at tractor pulls. He’s gone now, but his daughter and her husband have that tractor, and there’s a picture of it standing nose-to-nose with his quad trac. Coolest thing ever.
My grandpa and my dad always had old A and B models that they worked hard. They were very dependable and easily maintained. And even when the coldest winters they could be started provided the battery was fully charged. Those old tractors had a very distinctive sound.
I had a wreck on a Farmall tractor just like that one when the steering locked up. I was pulling two full silage wagons going downhill when I hit the ditch. I broke the Farmall in half, busted both back tires, and tore up both wagons. Damn near broke both legs above the knees on the steering wheel. I was probably 14 maybe 15. I learned to drive a small David Brown the day I graduated 3rd grade. Started plowing the next day. Then I moved up to a 70 John Deer. Those were the days!
My Grandmother had a 40' x 14' stick built store building in her front yard they used for selling household goods and a restaurant. (Fresh cut Bologna and wheel cheese sammiches with home grown lettuce and tomato) They had ran for 30 years. Well Grandpa had passed and no longer used the store. Some of the neighbors decided they were going to move the store building from the front yard to the rear of the house, about 500' away for Grandma. Building was already in position for a straight shot, pulling if from the end, no turning needed. They cut a couple big pines down and made them into runners. Slid them under the building and pulled the pillars out from under it. The guys had a M Farmall and a newer International Diesel. They tugged and huffed and puffed and barely got it inches from where it stood. Another neighbor had an old Kerosine/gas John Deere with the green hubcaps on the front. When he hooked that little John Deere up to the building, only then did they start to make any headway at all to getting that building moved any measurable distance... I'm 47 now and I was 3 then. I have to say, that was one day I'll never forget, watching those 3 tractors work.
Great series of vid's, all the way from spun bearings to running, and then got the kid and grandpa out for an 'old fashion" pull off. As we all say, "Don't get no better than that". I really enjoyed your outing and the bonding time you all had.
identical front weights and identical fluid weights in rear tires, I wouldn't bet either way on this little bit of fun, having driven both of these in my youth. Excellent video gentlemen
Grew up with a JD 50 with a HEAVY trip bucket loader on the front. Rollamatic front end, dropped the front down a plow furrow with a bucket full of rocks on the front(my dad did this) and jammed right tight lol, ran with one wheel about 2 inches higher then the other after that. Really nice tractor though, ran nice. Granpa had a G, that thing would pull and pull, he farmed some pretty black dirt too, that G didnt care if it was muck or not. We had a little Farmall H too, now that was a tough little cookie for it's size, we pulled chopper boxes with that little H for a couple years. Those super M's had a lot of power in the engine, and ran forever, and I always liked how smooth they ran at full throttle. but the rest of the tractor wasnt built big enough for the power they had, if IH had built them 1000 lbs heavier they would have pulled bigger loads. Still, they did really well pulling things like grain drill etc where you wanted the power but not the weight for compaction reasons.
I am a Johnny Popper fan so I love this video! I also know about using those brakes because we actually use them in farming and sometimes it's a bit muddy.
@@russianacorns8080 the model b John Deere has pistons the size of a gallon bucket. And valves the diameter of a can of peaches. I'm an international Farmall guy but I always thought the r John Deere diesel 2 cylinder was pretty darn cool
That was in interesting competition to watch. More than likely both of those tractors were built here in the Quad Cities. The Farmall factory was located in Rock Island, IL and John Deere is headquartered in Moline with factories there and in several eastern Iowa cities. You would definitely enjoy the John Deere Pavilion in downtown Moline. Take a look at it here on RUclips.
That's just great - some real fun has been had by all:-) It is real interesting how light they both became on the front end despite how the trailer is a turntable design which throws little weight on to the tractor.
Reminds of working on my Grandpas Farm. Loved baling Hay. The old heavy small bales,lol. I wish i bought the farm and just left it be. But now it is Fancy Houses. Shame.
I used to drive JD 2 cylinder tractors, A, M, D, 70 and the D had to be started by turning the fly wheel...if you were lucky, it's going to start on first turn. I am in Rock Island, Illinois where the Farmalls were made.
Always enjoy watching this types of videos. There are many factors that can effect how a tractor pulls. Operator experience is key. The amount of ballast in the tires, weight on the tractor, tire pressure, condition of the tires. Even if you are using only one tractor changing any of these can effect how it pulls
In France I had an M for 50 years, my father in 1947 oil engine, in 1960 we put a 57hp Perkins diesel, in 2000 it was still running (probably 20,000 hours). There were several thousand in France, like the H. The John Deere was rare because of the exclusive importer Bergerat Monnoyeur Caterpillar.
I had a JD 60 with a nine foot blade on the back. I used it to clear a quarter mile driveway of snow. It worked great. 1100 RPM idle and 1100 Rpm redline. You get the picture. It weighed more than my F-350. The guy I bought it from said it's easy to drive as long as you have three arms. Plus you can't beat the sound of a popper.
My grandpa told me stories about chopping corn with an old deere maybe a G and the deeres didnt have live power back then and werent the greatest for pto work. They had a farmall and it had live power and ran the chopper but didnt have the ass to pull more than a half box so they ran the chopper with the farmall but dragged the farmall with the deere
That red tractor needs a load of wheel weights on it. The farmer I worked for as a young teen ager had two M's and a Super C and he bailed shares we came home every day in season with six wagons loaded as heavy as theirs are. Plus 1 wagon behind a loaded 1953 Chevrolet pickup truck. We'd go down the country roads to the home Farm. Uphill laying down. When needed that Super C would take the Baler and the wagon baking in the field. And they weren't always level. Loaded Tires and wheel weights make a big difference.
It's amazing how the camera won't do a slope justice. I tried one time to video myself working a steep coalpile side with a D7 to show my son. You could barely stand on it but I could not get it to show on camera. I dig how you guys are having fun.
I have a small working vintage tractor collection two IH and one popper crawler and been trying to decide on the next move . Nice video just goes to show why JD stuck with low RPM Torque over high Horse Broom Broom To be honest would like one of each LOL
Well we had my grandpa's far all c and 300 ta and dad's 656 diesel hydrostat,loved that hydrostat,could always find the right speed.now my mom's dad he had the green.jd 3020,a 60 and had a 435.that 60 could pull a good load of silage out of the fields yet.id like to find a nd 435 just for the memories as a little kid with grandpa. Now I've got a distant cousin, rip,that on his headstone was a picture of what he did at an antique tractor pull. He had a 300 ta.the front end started getting getting light so he got out of the seat and climbed up on the hood lol. And now I've got a British guy here in town that restores all the old steel wheeled tractors and then sends them over to europe.makes good money with them.i seen my first self propelled all is Chalmers baler at his place also.he even had an old chain drive Mack truck that needed reatored.love that old steel
Gaw. Id love to come to US and work for you for 2 weeks for free to be a part of that. What a great working holiday that would be. Fantastic old tractors Closest I ever get to farm work is Farm Simulator 2015.
My dad's 1952 Massey Harris 44 Special almost always won any pull it was in for it's class. Sometimes he even won jumping a class. Great tractor and he knew how to work a pull. haha I don't care the name on the tractor though, I love ALL old American iron. They don't make them like this anymore!
Great video guys I could do that all day I have to give the Deere credit she's a tough old bird.Spending time with Deere awesome spending time with the family priceless
Good ole 2 cylinder Jd's and their WW II famous gear boxes were used in sherman tanks. The " 60 " is a later generation of the model " B ". My old man collects the old 2 cylinder Jd's. He has a 1937 JD model " D " that we used to haul a trailer load of 5,700 pounds of wet 3/4- gravel up too the top of the property he owns. The trailer probably weighed about another 2,000 pounds. It is only a half an acre but it raises 70 feet from the front of the property too the back. so it is steep. that old tractor would made it if it hadn't of been for its old worn out weather checked nearly non existent tread. As it was it made it too the crest of the hill and then just sat there and dug ruts in the crest trying to get over the hump. Nothing runs like a deere !
haha some good old fashioned fun. we used to drag around a old 48' flatbed semi trailer on a dolly pulling hay out of the field with a farmall H. 300 bales at 55 lbs a piece makes the old girl grunt but she'll do it. I once pulled 550 bales down the road. it wouldn't do 5th gear but she'd pull 4th all day long.
Even though the Super M has more HP, the JD has more torque. In the late 60s we had each of these tractors, and Dad plowed with the JD, but disced and harrowed with the M, and he mowed and raked with the M but bailed with the JD. The JD sounds better and has more character.
I lived in a log cabin with my Grandparents for a while. Someone drove up the hill one day and ran over Old Lady Tome's cat. It was the headline of the local paper. For three weeks. It was finally upstaged when grandpas Sears and Roebuck brass bed showed up. This reminds me of that.
Fake
Three generations of Pandys' doing what they love. Messing around with old tractors. Love it.
Great video Wes.
Love the sounds of both.
That Farmall sound, though, especially takes me back. My great uncle had a 49 C and a 50 H he worked his hayfield with.
Regardless of whether the pull was fair or not, it's interesting to watch both of these tractors strain and struggle to pull this very heavy load.
give 'em a break the tractors were 2wd
@@copperhead6132 that really doesn't matter in this case
The old John Deere's are awesome. I restored a G and use it damn near every day

Lee Huff we had three Farmall Ms ,the oldest was a 1938 model I think they still look modern today.
I enjoyed this video a lot. I grew up using old 2 cylinder deeres and you're right there is a lot of skill needed in running one!
Great video of you guys having fun!
Just a real nice view of a competion of tractors.
Thanks for sharing!

It amazing to look at these older videos, apparently I have been a faithful subscriber for longer than 6 years, because I remember this one!
want a prize or something?
Neat to see you, Tim & your dad building what will be a great memory for all some day. Kinda fun to watch to old tractors being worked like that too.
I've probably watched this video 15 times. Nothing better than three generations at a tractor pull off.
Watching it again myself. Im a deere guy but i like to see all the old iron out there

John Deere engineers had their shit together gettin so much more out of a poppin johnny.
You’re talking like it’s a small motor, thing is 321 cubes, that’s more than the v8 in my truck, all they had to do was make it reliable.
It was built reliable like the Fairbanks and others that sat running day and night 365 days a year. Many are still going.

Sam King the B had a tiny engine compared to the 60.
LOVED this! Proof age and experience will wins over youth and enthusiasm. I'm an M fan all the way! Good job
The sm really needed more weight on the wheels with those tall tires
We dug our '40-A out of a bog in 1986. Rings, and valves and my grandson uses it a lot. Ugly but a hard worker.
This is the video that started my addiction to this channel. I just wanted to hear a John Deere working hard and it did the trick.

I remember when this video first got posted, still one of my favorites. You should upload a new copy for people to see 'retro' OLF
My first tractor was a model 70. The steering was so hard I got arthritis in my elbows. Got a nice 63 model 4010 with power steering now
Its too bad the 70 that you had didn't have any of the good amenities available to the 70's like Power Steering or RollAMatic front end.
That's just great - some real fun has been had by all:-) It is real interesting how light they both became on the front end despite how the trailer is a turntable design which throws little weight on to the tractor.
I enjoyed watching these oldtimers :)
Nice video. Those 60,s had nice sound. Dad had jd 630, B jd, M Farmall & 400 Diesel farmall when he farmed. Oh almost forgot the big horse B farmall.
Great fun test of skill and product! Nothing runs like a Deere!
Reminds of working on my Grandpas Farm. Loved baling Hay. The old heavy small bales,lol. I wish i bought the farm and just left it be. But now it is Fancy Houses. Shame.

Loved hearing that scatternational, spent a lot of time on an H when I was a youngun. Love the sound.
We used to haul round bales with a Fordson Dexta, which is smaller in stature than both of those tractors, we never had trouble going up hills.
Different soils play a huge factor
That looks fun love grandpas determination! Love the sm too!
I love watching these old tractors pull.
Either of these two tractors are better than the junk being built by everybody today
Those oldies ,were great👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️💜💚💙💛thx

Our old 720 had cutting brakes, but also a pedal to lock the diff for this type of straight line pull..
It was cool seeing the Roll-O-Matic at work on the old 60.
Good family fun there Wes. Pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing.
My grandpa was a johnny popper mechanic, maybe that's why he was always broke and out of work. He, He.
They know how to overload at least, and they also know how to make the engine stronger
My grandpa told me stories about chopping corn with an old deere maybe a G and the deeres didnt have live power back then and werent the greatest for pto work. They had a farmall and it had live power and ran the chopper but didnt have the ass to pull more than a half box so they ran the chopper with the farmall but dragged the farmall with the deere

Unreal best 17 minutes I have ever seen very enjoyable I must say thanks for uploading :)
That red tractor needs a load of wheel weights on it.
The farmer I worked for as a young teen ager had two M's and a Super C and he bailed shares we came home every day in season with six wagons loaded as heavy as theirs are. Plus 1 wagon behind a loaded 1953 Chevrolet pickup truck. We'd go down the country roads to the home Farm. Uphill laying down. When needed that Super C would take the Baler and the wagon baking in the field. And they weren't always level. Loaded Tires and wheel weights make a big difference.
Good vid. i love to see full on farm work.
Good times! Good driving with the Deer
It's amazing how the camera won't do a slope justice. I tried one time to video myself working a steep coalpile side with a D7 to show my son. You could barely stand on it but I could not get it to show on camera. I dig how you guys are having fun.
Still two great tractors I would be happy with either of them.
out of all your videos I've seen so far this one is tops then the jeeps in the snow
I have a small working vintage tractor collection two IH and one popper crawler and been trying to decide on the next move . Nice video just goes to show why JD stuck with low RPM Torque over high Horse Broom Broom To be honest would like one of each LOL
farmalls are too heavy on the front axle thats why they don't get around in mud. all deere weight is on the rear axle.
really enjoyed this thanks
Had to come back and rewatch the first OLF I ever seen
Well we had my grandpa's far all c and 300 ta and dad's 656 diesel hydrostat,loved that hydrostat,could always find the right speed.now my mom's dad he had the green.jd 3020,a 60 and had a 435.that 60 could pull a good load of silage out of the fields yet.id like to find a nd 435 just for the memories as a little kid with grandpa.
Now I've got a distant cousin, rip,that on his headstone was a picture of what he did at an antique tractor pull. He had a 300 ta.the front end started getting getting light so he got out of the seat and climbed up on the hood lol.
And now I've got a British guy here in town that restores all the old steel wheeled tractors and then sends them over to europe.makes good money with them.i seen my first self propelled all is Chalmers baler at his place also.he even had an old chain drive Mack truck that needed reatored.love that old steel
haha lovely friendly competition. great video
Gaw. Id love to come to US and work for you for 2 weeks for free to be a part of that. What a great working holiday that would be. Fantastic old tractors
Closest I ever get to farm work is Farm Simulator 2015.
My dad's 1952 Massey Harris 44 Special almost always won any pull it was in for it's class. Sometimes he even won jumping a class. Great tractor and he knew how to work a pull. haha I don't care the name on the tractor though, I love ALL old American iron. They don't make them like this anymore!
That was a joy to watch! Gotta love days when you can have a bit of fun and banter :)
well that was fun... makes me wish we still had our AR lol
MY FAVORITE KIND OF TRACTOR PULL.
I have watched this many time still a favorite
Great video guys I could do that all day I have to give the Deere credit she's a tough old bird.Spending time with Deere awesome spending time with the family priceless
Got to love the old 60's i kept my dads.
Excellent Video !
Good job Reading the Soil Conditions.
Skill plays a big part in this challenge.
Good ole 2 cylinder Jd's and their WW II famous gear boxes were used in sherman tanks. The " 60 " is a later generation of the model " B ". My old man collects the old 2 cylinder Jd's. He has a 1937 JD model " D " that we used to haul a trailer load of 5,700 pounds of wet 3/4- gravel up too the top of the property he owns. The trailer probably weighed about another 2,000 pounds.
It is only a half an acre but it raises 70 feet from the front of the property too the back. so it is steep. that old tractor would made it if it hadn't of been for its old worn out weather checked nearly non existent tread. As it was it made it too the crest of the hill and then just sat there and dug ruts in the crest trying to get over the hump.
Nothing runs like a deere !
The 60 620 and 630 are actually the A, the B was the 50 520 and 530
haha some good old fashioned fun. we used to drag around a old 48' flatbed semi trailer on a dolly pulling hay out of the field with a farmall H. 300 bales at 55 lbs a piece makes the old girl grunt but she'll do it. I once pulled 550 bales down the road. it wouldn't do 5th gear but she'd pull 4th all day long.
I like them all but you can't beat the sound of an old John Deere.
pretty country in the background.. love the father, son grandfather bonding going on here real nice!
we where just messing around
Even though the Super M has more HP, the JD has more torque. In the late 60s we had each of these tractors, and Dad plowed with the JD, but disced and harrowed with the M, and he mowed and raked with the M but bailed with the JD. The JD sounds better and has more character.
That was a fun vid! Thanks for taking the time to make it! Both tractors are great.
