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 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!!
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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!
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. 😯
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!!
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. 👍
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".
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.
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 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.
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.
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..
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~
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.
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!
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…
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...
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.
I had a neighbor who was a lady in her mid 70's that bought an 84 Grand National new. She drove it daily, even in the salty winter. I still remember her driving by with a smoke hanging out of her mouth. She was a tough old gal. The car eventually rotted away.
The first thing other than a go cart, mini bike or lawn mower I ever drove was one of those hand crank 1939 Case tractors when I was 11 years old in 1967.
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.
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.
Absolute one of my favorite episodes because of the tractor 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!
30th
Great to see you back Tom, with such a great bunch of guys…that Grand National was a honey!
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.
That's my type of FIND!! I'm always glad to know that these types of cars are still out there.
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!!

I absolutely love this show man. That old timer LIT UP when you guys showed up
Thank you for giving the first gentleman the opportunity to share the story of his tractors.
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.
Yeh man those orchard tractors were cool. That set up to deflect the branches and fruit... Brilliant.
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

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
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.
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.
The Buick Grand National is a really cool car. Thanks for sharing this, Tom!
Great episode, that grandpa was super cool!
Tom, great video 👍. I hope 🤞 you will come back to the Grand National when it’s running again, that’s a special car 🇺🇸
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!

Damn Straight.
Great--Great !! Show. Thanks So Much for bringing back so many memories of old cars and tractors !! HooAh !!
That older guy with the tractors is like the ideal grandfather.
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. 👍
Fascinating episode! Bob is a gem.
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".
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.
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.
Tractors and their owner made this your best episode ever.
Enjoyed the tractors need more stuff like that. Anything with motor and a history is fascinating.
I love that Grand National. Fantastic car.
It would be nice to see it clean and running.
Love this show with all the Case tractors and history. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to have your show back. Been way to long. Both THE TRACTOR GUY and Mr. BUICK , thanks a lot for sharing.
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.
This show was awesome! Thanks.
Great Great Episode! It’s amazing some of the people you meet. I bet Bob has some great stories.
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.
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.
Gotta love the “Ricardo” seats on the GN.
Lear Seigler seats.
Ricky Ricardo?
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.

The smile on toms face was so pure.
Cars or tractors I can watch Barn Find Hunter all day, so glad to see Tom back!
Amazing show the tractors and then the Buick . You guys know how to keep this amazing ..
I drove one of these from Montreal to Edmonton, what a glorious run that was.

Just think, Bob probably knows more than most of us will ever lear about motors and tractors.
Thanks Tom, glad you are still at it. Really enjoyable content.
Outstanding Tractor Collection !!!
Seems like the nicest, smartest gentleman. What a generation
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. :)
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.
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!
First thing i ever drove with power was a 60s farmall tractor. Nice to see these still running
Never seen those crossfire's before, fantastic episode, Tom.
Why is this one of my favorite episodes?
i hope we get to see the start up of that grand national
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…
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.
Awesome 👍. Those tractors started better then some new cars these days 👍
Fantastic episode. Tractors who would have thought.
My favorite Hagerty show, Barn Finders! Great segment featuring tractors, we had Fordsons & Internationals on the ranch.
To all of us that watch Tom’s episodes..
Does it get any better?
Thanks Tom for continuing on…
What a great show this is.
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 to see you doing videos again! Thanks.
I'm an engineer at heart, I love love LOVE watching these go :)
Those old tractors are so cool.
Awesome episode. Didn’t even look or get into all the case garden tractors he walked past
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.
love it, passionate about his tractors. great collection.
Interesting tractors. Love the line and shapes of the fenders
Love the old Case tractors.
That Buick Regal is gorgeous...I would buy it in a heartbeat!
Funny...I was waiting for the tractor guy to pull out his Grand National !!! Great video !!!
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. 😎👍🇨🇦
Great video tractor Tom, u had that big grin going on .lol.nothing wrong with showing someone else passion .
I had a neighbor who was a lady in her mid 70's that bought an 84 Grand National new. She drove it daily, even in the salty winter. I still remember her driving by with a smoke hanging out of her mouth. She was a tough old gal. The car eventually rotted away.
That’s hilarious!!!
Awesome episode, was really cool seeing old tractors.
You really made the best Car Show on YT!
Another very cool episode! Thanks.
That is my favorite hot rod from the early 80s. Always wanted one bad.
I love hearing old experts talk about stuff theve been doing longer than some of us have been alive
I have one too. I love it, that is awesome! Mine is a t-top.
The first thing other than a go cart, mini bike or lawn mower I ever drove was one of those hand crank 1939 Case tractors when I was 11 years old in 1967.
That was really cool. I'm a nostalgia nut, I love anything old!
Tractor Bob is a treasure himself
Alright! Thank You So Much, Great Car! See you on The Next 1!!
Very cool............. Love the Buick GN!!!!
Love that Challenger, just basic and clean. Great episode all around.
Tom ,thanks so much .
Those fenders on the tractors are awesome, never seen that before
