  • What a cool old tractor. Only problem is it hasn't run while in possession of the last two owners. Come along as we try and get this old tractor running!

    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.

    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, win or no win, I enjoy what you do. As an old mechanic, I am still inspired , and yes it does take all the brain taxing efforts to get old engines to come alive again. 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 .

    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 !

    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.

    I've enjoyed watching your videos the last few months. I appreciate the way you explain what you're doing. I have to admit, I've used some of your techniques! I recently got a 1960 Ford Truck running that had been sitting in the desert for 40 years. Now today, I got a 1959 Jeep running that hadn't run for who knows how long. Thanks again for the tips and the tool suggestions. I bought a TDC whistle a few weeks ago from Amazon after you mentioned it. Looking forward to seeing your future videos. I think I know how I will be keeping myself busy when I retire in a few years.
