    I just love tractors! Sometimes I get to borrow my neighbors tractor for a job around the house. He is a good neighbor and very kind! You have some cool vehicles coming up, can't wait to see them. Great job getting the tractor running, Richard, and Christina you sure know a lot about the mechanics of a car. Your a great helper for Richard! Many blessings to you both.

    enjoyed the video. it is a neat little ford tractor. m y grandfather used to own a tractor (think it was ford) built in the 1930's.he had it for 50 years before the block busted from a freeze in southern Oklahoma (believe it or not lol). tractor was eventually given to a friend of the family. who lived just up the road. I do not know what finally happened to it. my gransfather passed away in 1991. family friend passed away a few yearss ago. tractor is probably sitting in his pasture rotting away. :) we on disability, can't afford your shirts but maybe some day. we enjoy your videos. you have a beautiful property (smile).

I sometimes miss that rewarding feeling when all the effort pays off. I catch myself smiling when Richard makes it happen. More power to you and keep the ball rolling .

    Richard, I was born in 1966, when that tractor was made. You don't know how long it's been sitting? I can relate--I have days I don't know how long I'VE been sitting!
    Never wrenched on Ford 2k's or 3k"s. My share of 2, 8, and 9 N's, yes.
    Have always worked on my share of revivals, classics, and hot rods. But love tractors, that old-school stuff. Fords, Deeres, McCormick Farmalls, Allis-Chalmers, IH, Olivers, etc..
    Anytime I used a TDC whistle, my dog went nuts .

    Ford recessed the plugs so they would be snapped off while working in brush. Spark wires can be put back on but can't put a broken plug back together after being snapped in two.

    That whistle is a good idea. I took off the valve cover to watch the valves because I didn't want to be 180 off. Still had issues because I thought the intake was the smallest one. Learned a lot, it's the kind of lessons you never forget.

    Well it looks as though you got yourself a good tractor. With a lot of TLC and such it will make a nice addition. Wiring is going to need a complete working over and the little things that cause problems I am sure you will address. Looks as though it is going to take a quite a bit of work to straighten out and it appears that your front sheet metal is damaged. I'm sure you have seen in the comments that, that is a tire depth gauge you were holding at first.🥸👍👍👍👍👍

    That is so satisfying to get an engine running after all the work to get there! That tractor is a great find! I have an '85 Corvette I picked up and it has taken me 2 weeks to sort out all the issues that kept it from running. Someone had messed up every system. After all the fixes and cranking it finally started and now will start each and every time when cranked.

    Hi Christina and Richard ! The Ford tractor was a cool project for this episode ! I'm currently working on a 1926 model T Ford. The similarities in that old T and a tractor are pretty evident. I always kinda wondered if that was all coincidence , or maybe by design , given how much of the United States was rural community back then. If you could drive a T you could drive a tractor and vice versa. Christina you mentioned painting , if it were me , I'd pressure wash her good , maybe a little wire brush action and go with a good brush and a quality machine paint. That might make a Good video on its own ! Enjoyed ,Enjoyed ! Bless ya !

    @ricgross5815 5 месяцев назад

    One of the best videos ever, pretty extensive repairs which Christina nailed that someone most likely fiddled with it and gave up because of all the issues. Great patience Richard in finding everything, and I totally agree about the CHEAP solenoids these days on old Fords. I keep old originals around whenever I can find them. If I get chosen, keep the whistler for someone else, I already bought one because of you guys, but love your tee shirts. If I don't win, I'll end up buying the new ones anyway. Keep up the great work, so happy for you two!
