My dad said my Grandpa was still using one in the late 40's into the fifties. My dad said he loved to hear it run, he said he'd come over sometimes just to crank it to hear it run. Dad said the steering was horrible. I bought an old Chevy Nova years ago without power steering, my dad drove it. I said, drives good doesn't it. He said yes, but it steers like an old Fordson tractor. I miss him when I see videos like this. Great video, thanks for posting it.
What else did your dad say
@@danielreilly1302 He had a lot to say. He said to never buy living room furniture that's too cheap. Because before you know it, a spring will be poking you in the back end. He told me he stole a set of front tires for a tractor with that big ridge in the center. He said he thought they'd last a long time. He said he put them on the back of a 35 Ford. They had the same bolt pattern I take it. He said he went only about 3/4 of a mile and they both blew out. He said they couldn't handle high speeds. He also told me that during the depression when people that had worn out tires and couldn't get or afford new ones, people would find another set of worn out ones about the same size and cut the bead out. Let the air out of the mounted set and slip one's with the bead cut out over them and then air the tires up. The inside ones would swell up and hold the outside ones in place. I guess it was a homemade retread. He had many more stories. He told me he got the crabs one time, and rubbed his privates down with DDT and killed them. Did you want to hear Tractor stories, or just stories in general. I have a ton more.
OMG he'll be a guy, great story!
There's nothing wrong with sharing memories my friend!! When we get old which I am, memories and stories are all we will have left!!! Let's see what kind of memories the younger generation are going to have when all they do is play with cell phones!! Preserving the past and talking about it takes a special kind of people!!! This is why the world pretty much sucks for the most part today. People just throw away everything!!! I treasure all my memories and the stories from my childhood!! Just remember this, never be afraid to walk alone because God always walks along side of us!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
@@lottiecooper609 I'm 57 now, my Dad passed away 9 years ago. He told me lots of stories about when he was young. He had children late in life, and I did also. My children are 12 and 14. A boy and girl. He was a hard mountain man, and didn't put up with much nonsense. He and his brothers bought a surplus Army truck and logged with it. He said that they would run the bumper of the truck up against a tree and use the winch to haul big logs out of hollers where others couldn't go.He said they would load the logs by hand. He said he would cut timber all day with a twin cylinder Mercury chain saw. He said that was the first good saw they had. I've worked hard jobs all my life, but nothing like this. People are softer now. He went into the Army at the end of WW2 and told me much. I joined the military at 17 as he did. I was looking at myself the other day and it's riddled with scars like his was. I feel hard times are ahead for our young one's. I'm trying to prepare my kids for what I see coming. Many won't be able to handle it.
His patience with difficult engines is remarkable. Most would’ve thrown wrenches or cussed, but he just stays calm and keeps coaxing them to life.
Believe me, if he didn't have an audience to talk to. I'm sure things would of been said no one else could imagine that day
@@mister7596would’ve*
this is the guy that the mechanic calls when he has trubble. Aka the repar man´s repar man.
Never a dull moment on this channel. Fun to see interesting machinery brought back to life again with minimal fanfare and no tension!
One of the reasons why I love your channel is cause you repair things that are in so bad condition that no one would fix it!
He knows how to get most things running but that's the last we ever see of anything with a few exceptions like that model A pickup.
@@maggs131 I know, and it’s sad.
_Pulls a pound of sand out of the intake port_
"I think she's saveable!"
@@maggs131 thats many of these channels. lets find junk thats been sitting in the woods, get it running then throw it away/ dump it on someone else so we can make a new video.
@@MsStevo2000 yup I like this Jennings guy as he clearly knows this old stuff but I'd like to see more follow up and vehicles getting done. If he really does have all these vehicles waiting restoration or waiting to be roadworthy..... hes got enough backlog that hes going to hand off to his grandchildren. Still better than vice grip garage. Derek seems like a nice family guy who is also talented but the channel devolved into "look how much money I have". And don't get me wrong I'm not begrudging him for success but thats not why I subscribed to him years ago and my finger is hovering over the unsubscribe button
I got stuck at home with Covid over christmass 23 and found this channel - it has been a true life saver for me - I was real sick but watching you mad be feel better and make it through a tough time. I fix old stuff also!
Thank You DH
This guy has thee most positive outlook on life I've ever come across personally.
Damn that bearing on the fan is amazing
Awesome , 100 yr old tractor . It was a totally different world back then . To think this replaced a team of horses . Things have changed so fast in a short amount of time . Thanks for your passion for saving the old iron . That's 100% Virgin American Steel . That's why it's still here .
It is always cool to see old cars and equipment get a second chance at life. It's amazing to see these old rigs come back to life. Great video as usual
I agree. I remember when we were farming in 1956 to 1961 many old F20 steel wheel tractors were still in use with upgrade to rubber tires. F12s too.
You never cease to amaze me. The Dr Frankenstein of automotive world.
My best friend has a 1932 Fordson the was purchased new by his grandfather. After restoring the tractor which took almost 3yrs,now it wins at the shows we tow it to.
Mr. Jennings…Great Job! I used to drive a Steel wheel Fordson on my Uncle’s farm early 1970s. It had a Buzz saw on the front and therefore we only used it to Buzz firewood. Once we got the Buzz Boxes working, it would run quite well. But, what a Rough ride with those steel wheels. I think that is why my Uncle made me drive it!
Jennings you’re the best! Please more videos. I know you’re a busy RUclipsr, but keep cranking out videos. Can’t wait to see the tractor. Be careful of those fumes.
Young Mr. Jennings, the "Engine Whisperer" !!! Man, it is Incredible how you can get these old engines running again! I could tell how hard you worked from the shine on the crank bar! You must have stood on that bar a few hundred times before she kicked huh? Thanks for another interesting video! Merry Christmas! peace
Try using a squeeze bottle with 2 cyl gas mix to feed it fuel through carb. Will help lubricate combustion chamber/cylinder walls while keeping it running.
I don’t see a carb
@@matthewmcmenamy1398 there is one on the intake
"Awww man"
Immediately reverts to --
"I think she's savable!"
This was my family’s first, a fordson in the early 20’s. They had to sell it off to help pay for things.. always looking for one to get running ! Very cool.
Nearly 100 year tractor, and it ran, sort of, i never would have believed that Cuda could be saved, it looked like scrap metal when we first seen it!!!!
Good job! Unbelievable that old scorpion popped back to life. IT ALIVE!!!!!
Old Henery Honk - the Dearborn Ford tractor. My father had one on the farm for mowing thistles. Its singular virtues were that it always started (after a bit of persuasion) and it never punctured a tyre (a useful aspect of having steel wheels)
This guy is a real back yard fixer-upper with brains.
I love this channel. He's the most patient guy I know.
Jennings Motorsports dear viewer
I love your videos I love the tractor video Keeping it coming love gage Long time fan of your channel
The resilience of old machinery amazes me sometimes.
Amazing job. You people have my respect for keeping stuff alive!
We had one on our farm 1968. I learned to drive on it at 10 years old.
I'm impressed with your determination. Never say die.
She is beautiful
Takes less kicks than most Harleys in its day.
I get the biggest kick out of watching and listening to Jennings.. I could watch these videos for hours. It reminds me of when i was a high school kid, my buddies and i would get together and work on our cars over the weekends .. the things he says and does, chances taken, Those were some fun times.. nobody has time to do this anymore... most people don't know what they are missing..
I was willing that lady to fire up …….lol…..great job ….you are definitely the engine doctor 😜
Old tractor is cool but what is really cool is the mower attached to it. You'd play hell finding another one.
Green Acres theme song stuck in my head.
Thanks! 🤠👍
Nice find. Awsome video. Thank you for sharing your video with us.
A cool rig. Never seen a mid mount mower on a tractor of that vintage. Reason they put rubber tires on the front was to make it easier to steer.
Hard to believe it sat 80 years and alot we didn't see but it's good to see that it wasn't frozen to where it wasn't able to be saved. Now to see it drive. I want to see more on the ignition setup you used.
Hope to see more on the old tractor. See it working properly again :)
Just plain Cool! This is a great old girl to see running again,you did a good job my man!
This is the type of stuff you do meanwhile enjoying a beer with friends old stuff is awesome
I was amazed at the cylinders, I thought no freakin way when ya pulled the exhaust manifold
Glad i found you!! Variety is the spice of life!!
It s a very very good machine 👍🏻...
Congratulations for your job 🛠️👌and yours beautifuls projects... 👏👏👏
This fella is a national treasure
Fantastic, you got a 100-year-old engine up n a running! Says a lot about internal combustion engines, I bet we won't be able to say that about 100-year-old electric engines a 100 years in the future!
Awesome video! But every time I saw him crank the engine with his foot I was waiting for it to backfire and his leg get broken
I’ve seen many of these old tractors all over the northeast being used as yard art, or in front of the local highway department offices - And I always wondered what they’d sound like, run like, move like.
Please keep on this old girl and complete the resurrection all the way.
Keep up the great stuff and Happy Holidays!
God Bless
😎
Great to see it fire up! I'd love to see a video giving more explanation of the buzz coils.
I love how you don't give up! That's the great thing about getting this stuff back to life, I'm sure it's frustrating but the end result is to hear it run and that's pretty cool!
I think the trick may be that every time you manage to get one of these old engines started, you always tend to flood them immediately with the spray can.........
You know it's a good day when Jennings releases a new video.
There at the end, I saw a sign up on the wall regarding Arkansas Power and Light. My old Daddy used to wok for them way back in the late 30s and early 40s as a lineman, out of De Witt Arkansas, where I was born in November of 1941.
Damn good job. I love to see these old machines saved. I hope we have a part two with a restoration. Thank you for posting.
I think that sickle bar is a find. I would be cool to have one of those as a historical artefact. Cooler yet to have one running. Outstanding to have one that you actually use a bit.
Great job with the tractor! It's hard to have patience and tolerance when you're working on something and it just won't start. But as you can see perseverance does pay off!
You Sir have unbelievable stamina! Loved all the empty cans of starting fluid scattered around👍
Brought a tear to my eye to hear the old tractor wake up after such a loooong sleep!
🇺🇸⚔️🍕🍺👍👍
Awesome to see you saving that old tracktor
We have a 51 holder 2 stroke diesel tractor laying in the shed for ages. It was from my grandpa. I hope to get time to restore it
She sounds like a stationary single cylinder oldster. An absolute belter of a vid. Love your accent… so relaxed and kind
14:39 She's ready for some 1/4 mile action! Or maybe some donuts... Talk about shock & awe, 80 years in hibernation?? If anyone could coax this piece of history back to life, it's you! Fantastic work!
I cannot believe this channel is not in the millions for subscribers. Hidden gem. Spread the word people.
It's because he breaks and cuts the video too much to fit into 20 or 30 mins. People want to see more of the details and wrenching. Not just the start up
@@staind288 It would be better if he showed more of the work but I think 30 minutes is about as long as I want a video. Whenever i see a Vice Grip Garage video that's 2 hours long I either don't watch it because I don't have time or just end up skipping through a lot of the boring bits anyway.
..." Dirt and Lizzards and stuff in the piston...but...nothing terrible "😂😂😂
This Dude is tranquilla af. I like it😎
That old girl wanted to go!. Love that this old bit of kit got another chance!. Nice one!...
I wish I knew just half of what you have forgot. It always amazes me you get these old motors running. Merry Christmas.
My dad and I did a project back in the 1970's on a 1921 Fordson. He had one when he grew up in the 1930's on their farm. My Mom and went to Kentucky to pick it up on a flatbed truck, brought it home and surprised him the next morning. We had to do a whole tear-down, get replacement parts from a local junkyard that actually had about 4-5 of them. We got the coils from JC Witney in Chicago (Model-T parts). We had some valves machined by a Diesel shop (originals snapped). Finally we got a neighbor to tow-start us and it ran for about 1 minute on it's own power before water came gushing out of the exhaust. Looks like we missed a couple of the valves. The project never went any further and we ended up selling the tractor.
Glad to see you made a go of this!
Ole mister Haney would be proud to see that old tractor run again. Good job sir
2.32 pm 12/27/22 Watching crank start this old tractor reminds of the mid 1990s When i still had my 1973 XLCH Harley-Davidson Sportster Which had a kick start and learning how to kick start it put me over the handle bars a couple of times and swelled up my left knee TWICE it normal size..
The Fordson was tempermental even when new so you did a great job getting it going.
All things considered, you pulled off some magic here! You might ought to consider putting a handle on that crank so you can give it more than a half turn at a time! Still a miraculous resurrection!
I would like to see it mowing some grass some day, good job ! 😀👍
Absolutely appreciate your patience! As much as I like resurrecting old iron like you do, I tend to lose my cool. A lot of cussing, blood, sweat, and gnashing of the teeth! Hence, I can respect your calm and demeanor when fooling with the foolish. Thanks for your content!👍
Looking forward to seeing it drive! Thanks for saving this old iron history, these rigs help build America.
Great viedo just love those rustes. Glad to see she's a runner lol 😆.
Love the videos I could use you for a week straight getting my shit running..
Love your video's it's real and you work on the coolest car's truck's what ever you find and get it running 😁
That never give up attitude is truly inspiring. Great job again bringing an old motor back to life.
Holy crap, that block is pristine
Great job getting this running! I had my doubts at first, even with those super clean cylinders. Great video
I find it absolutely fascinating watching you tinker with old engines, makes me wanna try my hand on one too👍
Stunning channel , yep did not think it would ever start up ! But sure sounds good ! just love these old timers , and look forward to any of your videos , thanks for sharing !
I'm not into vehicle restoration or anything even remotely similar to that lol but watching you take these ancient machines and breathe life back into them is fuckin fascinating to watch and I love it. The older the better! I wanna see some wildly old engines cough back to life one day on your channel :D Cheers!
This may be the greatest mechanic ever
You should have grinded the valves to the valve seats when head was off. Little work with great effect.
Great job, love the ancient engine revivals.
Great to see another video ,from you. Looking forward to more when you have the time.
Got one of these in grandpa's field, cracked manifold needs replacing BUT the engine still turns over! My uncle and i turning it over every so often. He wants to get it running
Youre truly amazing! Thank you for doing videos!
There's one of these outside a local antique shop that has a ratchet 4 point lift with a 2 bottom plow, all 4 original steel wheels, spark plugs, and the SEDIMENT BOWL. IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL, UNBROKEN OR CRACKED SEDIMENT BOWL
This is a 100 year old tractor... That's so cool.
I am amazed the cylinders looked so good I was exspecting to see them rusted solid? Its actually in great shape. I would have never even tried but its free and not locked after some hard work. It runs WOW amazing. That is a cool looking tractor steel rims with paddles and no rubber tires. How cool is that? Great machine. Everyone of these I have ever seen was so rusty never seen one in great shape. This one is one the best i have seen.
Cool to hear a young person with a strong southern accent still.
Now that it's had time to think about its actions...love this guy
#1 where did you get the coils??
You should explain that each cylinder has a different sound.
#2 Its absolutely amazing that something that sat in someone's yard for decades is up an running without a full rebuild!!
Excellent stuff, young feller. That old motor just wants to go. 🇬🇧👍
Finally! I love this type of content! Especially from you!
This was one of my favorite videos so far! Keep up the good work!
Where are you finding these ancient antiques? I love how you take these from dead and rotting to running again.
That fan was just completely uncalled for, thats crazy
Over 80 years? Try over 100. My mother is over 80 and she was born in 1937. A 1922 model is nearly 102 years old. Cool tractor!
great work,shes running a lil late,but its good, yah wont fracture your ankle or wrist that way, great programs you have !
My Grandfather told me (often) that he was the first to put a high tension magneto on a Fordson Tractor.
