The first gentleman on this episode reminds me so much of my late grandfather. His mannerisms and directness. So full of knowledge you couldn’t here half his stories or facts if you spent all day with him. Cool old guy!
There’s few things any cooler on this planet than vintage tractors. It’s been more than 50 years since I ran one so seeing (and hearing) them here is a big delight. Thank you!
I can’t imagine anyone but Tom hosting this. His personality disarms people and his knowledge of the vehicles warms them right up to the idea of sharing.
I am 64 years old. When I was young I knew a lot of older guys who fought in WWII. They were known as the greatest generation. The first guy with the tractors reminds me of the old timers I have known in decades past. Men with great knowledge, experience, passion and impeccable work ethic. Sadly, those guys pass away and take all of their knowledge and experiences to the grave. I hope that tractor guys grandson learned well from his grandpa and appreciates how grandpa saved all those old cars and tractors and keeps the tradition alive.
I really enjoyed the tractor’s!! What a great change up, the nice man knew everything about each one and had a sparkle to share his knowledge. Do some more like this!!
The tractor gentleman - what an inspirational fellow he is. Pushing 80 with the energy, zest, sharpness and enthusiasm for life probably rarely ever seen in people half his age these days. Thank you Tom.
The Buick owner better do his dream trip soon. I retired, did my dream trip then lost my vision (not totally blind) so am so thankful got the trip in before the eyes went south. He seems old enough that next week the dream trip could only be a dream. Get it done friend!
You know what they say about old cars and especially old tractors.. it’s not hard to (get)(keep) them running when there’s not computer telling them they can’t run.. I hope that mans grandkid truly cherishes every moment with his grandpa.. men like this are a rare breed. Love the video
Another classic episode, that guy with the Case tractors was so different, really loved the orchid tractors, never knew they existed. Great to see Tom back guessing years, makes, models and specs.
I personally loved the information on the tractors! It's always great to learn about old machines in general! These tractors built North America and brought us to where we are today with 500+ HP! Another great video! Love it Hagerty
Thanks for featuring the old tractors. I’m going to forward this video to my 83 year old dad. He grew up on a farm and I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of it. Cheers
Great to see you going through some our countries agricultural history. You'll find a lot of great stories from the collectors of them and about their equipment.
A very great episode! More "American" cars with a special bonus to me on vintage farm tractors (as I originally grew up on a farm in South Dakota years ago). Thanks
Fantastic episode Tom, I bet you could have talked to that old boy for.hours and hours. He genuinely loves those tractors, you can see it on his face! Keep.the episodes coming chaps, great stuff!!
Awesome video! My aunts ex husband ordered a 87 Grand National with the digital display and had a chip in it when I was 8 years old and I fell in love with that car and always been a huge fan of The Grand Nationals. He took me for a ride and HOLY SMOKES IT WAS FAST. 😯
Cars, motorcycles and tractors! All are cool and owners make these episodes so worthwhile to watch. Thanks for using your platform to tell their stories. A history lesson, a story about agricultural mechanization and family memories!
Great video, love the gentleman with the tractors, you can tell he is a wise man, very knowledgeable on those tractors 🚜,,I love to be around people like that, they can teach you alot, I could tell you liked the tractors by the smile on your face when he started that one up, thanks for all you do and sharing these great videos with all of us.
Great show! I have a 84 Grand National. T tops digital dash smells like leather inside. Very neat to see a car with original tires. I really like hearing the stories about the cars.
Great show as always. Grand National is ok, saw to many back in the day. I really enjoyed the tractor guy and his old trucks & cars in his barn more. The model T that his wife learned how to drive in was awesome! Thanks for the great show. 👍
Wow now this is my kind of Jam! This guy SURE has the Honey Hole is Orchards! McCormick Farmalls are getting real tough to find but Cases also. Nice orchard fenders you can't even buy for under $2,500. What a great genuine guy. I gotta meet him.
Sir, that was a great visit with a cool dude! 2nd part, if it was 10k initial vehicle cost plus $100/mo. storage fees could of equalled $306k compounding in a S&P mutual fund since 93'... Top sale on recent Grand Nationals was $30k... this is why I cringe when folks say their cars or collections are their "retirement fund".
In 1985 I was working for an Olds dealer and just down the road was the Buick GMC showroom and I remember getting the call to take a 1985 Olds 442 down to them and in return I brought back a 1985 Buick Grand National. Not knowing the car at all except seeing that it was a 3.8L on the hood I thought I'd have to really stomp on the gas pedal to get it up to speed with traffic. Yeah...Not so much! Before I knew it, I was doing 75mph grinning like the Cheshire Cat as I blew right past the entrance to the Olds dealer. After about thirty minutes in the car, I return to the Olds dealer and been a super fan ever since. The GNX though........That's where it's at with these Regals. Cheers Tom! Zip~
The 50 Chevy was the first family’ car that we had when I was a youngster, I can still remember the sound of the transmission and the smell of the interior.
Wow Tom!!!!!! Where’s the Woodie?? Love love LOVE those Grand Nationals!!!!! Tractors are super cool as well…. You sir may well have one of the best jobs on the planet…
Since youre in Michigan, you need to go down to Lansing, its a huge car town. They had at least 5 GM plants at one point, home of Oldsmobile, Diamond Reo, Fisher Body and alot of the workers around there were paid decently and collected cars. I'd bet you would find a treasure trove of old cars in that area..
Brilliant video, watching from the UK, massive following for tractors here, loved the 'ground effect' 1952 tractors!! What a fantastic gentlemen owner, well done Bob!!! Toms face when he went off "drag racing" driving was fantastic Stuff. Looking forward to the future Buick video.
Wow love it the tracker's guy he know everything about them i was engineer working on case in the uk love the grand national a real golden gem 💎 love watching you shows tom hope to see more.
I have a 1949 Case VAC that I traded some work for. When I got it, it had sat for around 15 years. With fresh gas and a hot battery, it fired right up and ran and drove. Try that with one of these modern tractors.
Tom.. your passion, knowledge, generous spirit and all around great personality make these episodes so great! Thanks so much to you and everyone who make this show happen!
What a great episode. Tractor collections are a really big deal in the Midwest. I was in Indiana this summer and ran into some guys who were in town for the biggest tractor show/swap meet in the country.
The Graand Nationals are my favorite cars of all time. I love the motor, the turbo, the looks, everything. Only thing that would top it for me personally would be a GNX.
Check out Jay Leno's Garage. He did an episode bout a Year ago with the owner of a Buick Dealer near Hollywood California with an & only known Unsold 1987 GNX still on the Showroom floor...
Great episode. That first guy was as authentic as it gets. Just a genuine love for those machines and obviously passing it down for two generations.
Absolute one of my favorite episodes because of the tractor guy.
The first gentleman on this episode reminds me so much of my late grandfather. His mannerisms and directness. So full of knowledge you couldn’t here half his stories or facts if you spent all day with him. Cool old guy!
The vintage tractor community is slowly losing members so it's great to see some acknowledgement here.
There’s few things any cooler on this planet than vintage tractors. It’s been more than 50 years since I ran one so seeing (and hearing) them here is a big delight. Thank you!
30th
Great to see you back Tom, with such a great bunch of guys…that Grand National was a honey!

That's my type of FIND!! I'm always glad to know that these types of cars are still out there.
Thank you for giving the first gentleman the opportunity to share the story of his tractors.
The tractor gentleman - what an inspirational fellow he is. Pushing 80 with the energy, zest, sharpness and enthusiasm for life probably rarely ever seen in people half his age these days. Thank you Tom.
I absolutely love this show man. That old timer LIT UP when you guys showed up
The Buick owner better do his dream trip soon. I retired, did my dream trip then lost my vision (not totally blind) so am so thankful got the trip in before the eyes went south. He seems old enough that next week the dream trip could only be a dream. Get it done friend!

Yeh man those orchard tractors were cool. That set up to deflect the branches and fruit... Brilliant.
Great education on tractors, they fed America, and still do today! Very special find.
You can't count the number of still running and daily used old tractors out there. They're magical like that.
I personally loved the information on the tractors! It's always great to learn about old machines in general! These tractors built North America and brought us to where we are today with 500+ HP! Another great video! Love it Hagerty

The smile on toms face was so pure.
Great episode, that grandpa was super cool!
Fascinating episode! Bob is a gem.
Tom, great video 👍. I hope 🤞 you will come back to the Grand National when it’s running again, that’s a special car 🇺🇸
The Buick Grand National is a really cool car. Thanks for sharing this, Tom!
Cool tractors and what a gentleman owning them, great find and really enjoyed this episode.!
A very great episode! More "American" cars with a special bonus to me on vintage farm tractors (as I originally grew up on a farm in South Dakota years ago). Thanks

Tractors and their owner made this your best episode ever.
Hi Tom, Nice to see you back so soon. As a car guy I love anything with an engine so thank you for showing bikes and tractors Too.
Awesome video! My aunts ex husband ordered a 87 Grand National with the digital display and had a chip in it when I was 8 years old and I fell in love with that car and always been a huge fan of The Grand Nationals. He took me for a ride and HOLY SMOKES IT WAS FAST. 😯
I love that Grand National. Fantastic car.
It would be nice to see it clean and running.
Cars, motorcycles and tractors! All are cool and owners make these episodes so worthwhile to watch. Thanks for using your platform to tell their stories. A history lesson, a story about agricultural mechanization and family memories!

Just the best volgs Tom. Well done. Great guests.
Enjoyed the tractors need more stuff like that. Anything with motor and a history is fascinating.
That older guy with the tractors is like the ideal grandfather.
That's as good as a barn find gets...the old tractor guy. That's the real treasure in this show, the old school guys like Bob. :)
Great show! I have a 84 Grand National. T tops digital dash smells like leather inside. Very neat to see a car with original tires. I really like hearing the stories about the cars.
Great Great Episode! It’s amazing some of the people you meet. I bet Bob has some great stories.
Great show as always.
Grand National is ok, saw to many back in the day. I really enjoyed the tractor guy and his old trucks & cars in his barn more. The model T that his wife learned how to drive in was awesome!
Thanks for the great show. 👍
Love this show with all the Case tractors and history. Thank you for sharing.
Gotta love the “Ricardo” seats on the GN.
Lear Seigler seats.
Ricky Ricardo?
This show was awesome! Thanks.
Glad to have your show back. Been way to long. Both THE TRACTOR GUY and Mr. BUICK , thanks a lot for sharing.
Outstanding Tractor Collection !!!
Amazing show the tractors and then the Buick . You guys know how to keep this amazing ..
Wow now this is my kind of Jam! This guy SURE has the Honey Hole is Orchards! McCormick Farmalls are getting real tough to find but Cases also. Nice orchard fenders you can't even buy for under $2,500. What a great genuine guy. I gotta meet him.
I drove one of these from Montreal to Edmonton, what a glorious run that was.
You really made the best Car Show on YT!
Sir, that was a great visit with a cool dude!

Yep, it’s different when it’s in your own shed, but when you’re paying for storage for decades… that’s hard to quantify as an investment.
I remember being 8 years old and at the bus stop my neighbors 30 something son had one. I was memorized by the looks and the sound of it.
In 1985 I was working for an Olds dealer and just down the road was the Buick GMC showroom and I remember getting the call to take a 1985 Olds 442 down to them and in return I brought back a 1985 Buick Grand National.

Thanks Tom, glad you are still at it. Really enjoyable content.
I'm an engineer at heart, I love love LOVE watching these go :)
Cars or tractors I can watch Barn Find Hunter all day, so glad to see Tom back!
Wow Tom!!!!!! Where’s the Woodie?? Love love LOVE those Grand Nationals!!!!! Tractors are super cool as well…. You sir may well have one of the best jobs on the planet…

Never seen those crossfire's before, fantastic episode, Tom.
Brilliant video, watching from the UK, massive following for tractors here, loved the 'ground effect' 1952 tractors!! What a fantastic gentlemen owner, well done Bob!!! Toms face when he went off "drag racing" driving was fantastic Stuff. Looking forward to the future Buick video.
Fantastic episode. Tractors who would have thought.
Wow love it the tracker's guy he know everything about them i was engineer working on case in the uk love the grand national a real golden gem 💎 love watching you shows tom hope to see more.
First thing i ever drove with power was a 60s farmall tractor. Nice to see these still running
Seems like the nicest, smartest gentleman. What a generation
Why is this one of my favorite episodes?
What a great show this is.
Awesome 👍. Those tractors started better then some new cars these days 👍
Funny...I was waiting for the tractor guy to pull out his Grand National !!! Great video !!!
Love the old Case tractors.
Great video tractor Tom, u had that big grin going on .lol.nothing wrong with showing someone else passion .
Those old tractors are so cool.
I have a 1949 Case VAC that I traded some work for. When I got it, it had sat for around 15 years. With fresh gas and a hot battery, it fired right up and ran and drove. Try that with one of these modern tractors.
Tom.. your passion, knowledge, generous spirit and all around great personality make these episodes so great! Thanks so much to you and everyone who make this show happen!
That Buick Regal is gorgeous...I would buy it in a heartbeat!
15:11 for grand national.
Very cool............. Love the Buick GN!!!!
What a collection of cars & truck and so many cool tractors.
The Buick would fetch a pretty penny if sold, original & clean.
Good one Tom. 😎👍🇨🇦
That was really cool. I'm a nostalgia nut, I love anything old!
What a lovely man!
Awesome episode. Didn’t even look or get into all the case garden tractors he walked past
My favorite Hagerty show, Barn Finders! Great segment featuring tractors, we had Fordsons & Internationals on the ranch.
Great to see you doing videos again! Thanks.
Interesting tractors. Love the line and shapes of the fenders
Tractor Bob is a treasure himself
Just think, Bob probably knows more than most of us will ever lear about motors and tractors.
What a great episode. Tractor collections are a really big deal in the Midwest. I was in Indiana this summer and ran into some guys who were in town for the biggest tractor show/swap meet in the country.
The Graand Nationals are my favorite cars of all time. I love the motor, the turbo, the looks, everything. Only thing that would top it for me personally would be a GNX.
Check out Jay Leno's Garage. He did an episode bout a Year ago with the owner of a Buick Dealer near Hollywood California with an & only known Unsold 1987 GNX still on the Showroom floor...
Love that Challenger, just basic and clean. Great episode all around.
Love it! Great episode! TC is the man
Another very cool episode! Thanks.
love it, passionate about his tractors. great collection.
Nice to see you again tom
Tom ,thanks so much .
i hope we get to see the start up of that grand national
I have one too. I love it, that is awesome! Mine is a t-top.
Nice video! Traverse City tractors, and a GN! 2004R I believe was the trans for the GN.
Alright! Thank You So Much, Great Car! See you on The Next 1!!
That is my favorite hot rod from the early 80s. Always wanted one bad.
Great show keep em coming this was special tractor 🚜
