Nothing beats a tractor; the only motorized equipment designed to run every day with little maintenance, and to last longer than you are likely to live.
Having any machine these days that doesn't require a code scanner or scope is a blessing! Old iron is so reliable! My father used to say, "If I wanted plastic and wires, I would've bought a toy!"
I live in NY and also have an old tractor. I’m a mechanic on city buses and find work on the old tractor satisfying. You have a nice place.
Funny to see a high tech mechanic like you working on antique equipment.
I really can't believe everyone commentting has missed the biggest surprise. I have never, nor do I even know anybody who has ever seen one of these old Farmalls that had ....... working brakes. Good Job.
When I was 12 (1964), I drove my uncle's H...great memory
Thanks for putting this video back up!
Eric, thanks for the time trip. I grew up around red tractors, a 39 M, which was built to run on kerosene, a couple Super As, and a couple Cubs.
I just left a comment on his other Farmall video - reminiscing about one we had in Europe when I was a kid. I thought ours was designed to start on gasoline, and then switch to - presumably cheaper - kerosene. We never got it to work on kerosene though. In any case, really enjoyed spending 43 minutes with this tractor again. I hope he still has it. It's in the right hands.
Beautiful place Eric you and the Mrs got God bless
Brings back memories.
Keep that old girl running ,she looks and sounds pretty good. We have a Farmall A , much smaller but still full of that old technology.
+James Miller Yeah I am not much of a fan of old cars but I sure like old tractors
Thank you very enjoyable thanks for haveing us along
I'm with you boss! I miss the old days.30 Years ago I taught a friends daughter how to drive a Ford 8N. Then when she was in drivers ed, She was looking at the pedals and the instructor asked what was wrong, She said I was taught with differential breaking. What do I do! He had no idea what the differential breaking was. She taught him it was too funny!
Enjoyed spending 43 minutes with this tractor, at the hands of an expert mechanic. Awesome!
That tractor is gorgeous. That’s the real thunder. You are livin’ the dream.
First off, hello Sheba. You're a very pretty pup, Eliminator Of The Chipmunks.
Secondly, Thank You very much for the video. I found it enjoyable and very educational. I'm no farmer either for the record. For me, once I bought my very first 11941 Farmall H, I was hooked. Now, those tractors of yesterday, are in my soul. That's what I enjoy. Yesterday, I bought a 1945 Farmall H with a front loader. I can not wait to dive in. Again, Thank You. I'm looking forward to more videos.
I love International Tractors , I had a small Cub Cadet by International for 30 + years , I sold it to a Farmer for his son , I got what I paid for it , A Bullet Proof Machine ! Thanks Eric for bringing back Good Memories !
So gratifying to see a dedicated professional who cares for his tools and himself as much as he cares for the customer.
Awesome video Eric! Those wet filters are truly awesome. Got an old Ford 3000 that uses the same type of air filter and it works amazingly well.
Thanks 👍
Just shows no matter where you go a country boy is a country boy!! love both of your channels thanks for sharing what you do!!
Bow hunter - My kind of mechanic! My best friend's father had a Super M Farmall - I learned to drive on that tractor when I was about 8 years old. Hauled lots of hay, straw, grain and potatoes. Plowed and harrowed most of the fields on his 150 acre farm. Loved every minute of it through my early teen years.
only Eric could make greasing and changing the oil in a 71 year old tractor interesting. Great video!
No wonder Sheba sleeps so much at the shop, she runs around like a squirrel on crack at home! Nice place you have, nothing but desert where I'm at - thanks for sharing with us.
One year in with SMA and I just found my favorite video. Thanks for bringing us along, Eric.
Thank you! the only video out here that actually shows where to add the oil, you get a gold seal in my book for showing the complete task from start to finish, you don't assume that anything is obvious, which nothing is to people who are new to anything. Great video!
Old machines are really fascinating! They don't build them like they used too. Love to see that engine overhaul on that tractor as a video.
Tractors hunting and outdoors if there is any off roading this may be the perfect channel .
+Kent Taylor Well ya never know what will happen haha
Hey Eric, I just watched this episode .I work with an 85 year old fella in Australia I grew up with his son. Well he owns an old H ,he has had it for as long as I can remember. I think he just runs it once a year or so now. Love your work.
I grew up on 80 acres in Iowa and learned to drive on a Farmall H and an M. Thanks for the memories!
Just found this channel! I love SMA and it’s great to see what kinda life you have outside of the shop! Outdoorsman, hunter, great family man, business owner, amateur farmer...is there anything you don’t do?! Love it. Beautiful property too! Keep it up Eric!
We need some more FARMALL VIDEOS. That tractor is freakin awesome eric... for sure that tractor is true American history... 👍👍👍
Thanks Eric, This takes me back 60 years.
word of advice when turning these old girls turn while your moving or before you turn because if you turn while stopped you can bend or break the steering knuckle
Cool tractor and perfect description of the feeling of the old, simple and awesome machines of the past!
Eric, man you get my respect. Brought me back to my youth. That tractor was state of the art back when I was young. The products from the 30's-50's were built to be the only one you would own for life! My father taught us all about "the good old days" (1920's and 30's) being raised on a scrub farm in Nebraska. Then moved to the west coast and grew almonds and general farming. You've got a nice spread going there. Good luck!
She's liv'in a sweat life now. She just had an Eric O Spa treatment. Love chang'in the fluids in my machines. You be nice to them and they'll look after you for years. 🔧
I remember rebuilding a 1949 Farmall my 11th grade year when i was taking auto mechanics. We had to replace the cylinder sleeves and polish the crank. Never did get to see it start up
Well there is something to be said for simplicity in machinery. There is a reason why people love those old cars from the 60's and 70's. Easy to maintain and easy to fix.
My first car was a used '64 Chevy Nova-plugs, points and condenser!
@@davidrasch3082 , mine was a 63 Ford pickup , 300 straight 6 with the 3 on the tree . Miss that old truck
@@thomasfletcher760 You could fix them! Cheap.
I have a '68 Dodge Power Wagon. I got rid of the points and I'm using a mopar performance electronic ignition kit. Comes with a recurved distributor and the orange brain box. Has been running trouble free now for 17 years. About 10 years ago I had to replace the voltage regulator. Napa's eklin regulator was chinese junk and wouldn't work for more than a couple of days before the points quit. I exchanged all 3 they had in stock. That's when I decided to go with an electronic voltage regulator. It's been working great for 10 years now, except my amp guage always shows a slight discharge even though there's 14 volts at the battery. No way I'll go back to points.
My first farm tractor was a Super H 45 years ago. Good tractors. Love those videos outside the shop as well as inside.
My first real rebuild was a Farmall and the engine was seized so i fill it with CRC and kerosene let it sit for one week rocked the engin every day till it turned freely. Anyway long story it finally ran and used it with the sickle attachment for years to cut the fields. Love the old pull trigger start.
That flaper on the exhaust is really important, I made the mistake a didn't replace the missing flapper and rain water ran down and into the cylinders. Its a simple tractor but still requires attention.
I loved the H. Spent most of my teen years behind a H riding the hay rack. We called it the Hummingbird because of the sound when running wide open in road gear. Pure music.
Cenex 518 oil. Paint the gas cap IH red.
Good video. However at 26:28 the oil filter is in the canister upside down. Big tapered edge of oil filter goes into flange on oil filter casting of engine. Keep up the great work!
I just did one (same filter - 376374R91 or Wix 51172) this morning on my Farmall 300, and noticed this as well. I bought a very nice original operators manual off eBay 5+ years ago, and the manual has a photo that shows it like you described it.
Wow Eric, you have a beautiful place and I love the tractor. I can see why you like it there so much. Thanks for sharing!
This video, gives me a twinge of nostalgia. My father had to fix alot of old truck and tractors, from the 40's and 50"s. BTW, I just passed 68, last year, November!
First time I have seen this type of video from you. For some reason, I really enjoyed it.
Nothing like an upturned exhaust with a rain cap flapping. Makes me nostalgic. Course I drove a lot of trucks with that sound!
Eric! Didn't know you owned a 1945 Farmall International H.
Brought back memories of cranking -- by hand -- my grandfather's 1951 International H. Your girl looks really good for her age, lol.
Very nice machine! Our property is small too, and the tractor isn't quite as senior, a B275 diesel by IH from the early 60's but partly converted to 12v, built in England. Unstoppable, and I like the two front wheels because well...I'm paranoid. I need to restore it, but we just use it, because it works :) No A/C or power steering back then! Anyway, I noticed your filter is upside down from ours, and when we change it yearly it's kinda tricky to get on just right so it doesn't leak! (it's mounted from the bottom up, and screws upward, and that little gasket is slipppery!
I wish I could sit there and watch the sun chase the the day gon what a peaceful place heaven a cool breeze on a worm night thank you Mr Mrs o for what you do ......kelly
I can almost smell that Alfala falling over the cycle mower, I would cut and brouther would rake, we both drove an H. ## Thanks for this memory!!
Dude you are a lucky boy. Beautiful family, home and business. Thanks for the vids.
Beautiful place Eric. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more!
So glad I came across the SMA channel. Not only did it show me how to pull the dash on my Ram truck, it was entertaining. Now I have another channel to watch!
Haha nice glad we could help :)
Eric, i just run across ur new channel, like your H Farmall, i have 63 acres here in eastern Iowa, and have a 1948 ALLIS CHALMERS WD that i run and its like yours a work in progress. i been a fan for yrs, take care of the deer.
Nice tractor, looks well maintained. Like large sewing machines, they are quite simple yet fascinating because of their age and the thought that went into this era of American engineering.
Just an FYI with your grease gun, I work as an industrial mechanic and we go through at least a tube per day in my grease gun. When you put a new tube of grease in, thread your grease gun back together turn it one full turn back and then unlock the rod Wait 5 to 10 seconds then tighten everything down it'll bleed the air out of the new tube.
Eric you brought back a lot of old memories with the Farmall H. I grew up on a farm and spent a lot of time on Farmall H and M tractors. THANKS
Stay tuned... rumor has it there may be another one coming out this week ;)
Love the new videos. It's like you start to get to know Eric O. Just a little more each video.
As a kid who was born and grew up in Bronx N.Y. I love this........now since being transplanted to south jersey. I just love not being in a city and never going back! I used to work in a cemetery about 8 acres in south jersey, and the deer would just come up and eat on the evergreens and not get spooked by humans.
Thats a nicely maintained H. I used to work on old farmalls and john deere.
I agree with getting back to the old basics . I am getting on and I really enjoyed watching the old way we used to live .I recall having to install crank bearings in a 1940 John deere B tractor and it took about 3 hours to be running out in the flieds again ,Life wasn't about speed and turbos but more about just getting the job done. Eric thanks for remembering the important things in life as I sure enjoy all your videos.
Tractors are really fun. I learned to drive tractor around 10 years old, before learning to drive a standard transmission truck around 12. Lots of fun putting around through my grandfather's back 80.
Dad bought one of these H farmall's brand new in 1941. Had it the rest of his life.
Sweet tractor! I was getting pretty worried for the new channel when I didn't see any brake parts cleaner come out for the dirty air filter. Fortunately, the video was saved at the oil filter change! High quality video, as always. Great to be along for the ride!
Love the Farmall H, we had one back in the 50s, my dad swore by them. Nice sound.
G'day Eric greetings from Tasmania, a really lovely tractor it reminds me of the one I learnt on as a kid and that was a old David Brown more than 70 years old and still going. Really like these out door videos you do and you have a nice place. Shieba's just like the two I had into every thing! Regards John. PS your right there is something very honest about these old machines and what's even better it's nice to see some one respect the old machines
I love the old farm machines, one because they are cool and two because the "simply" work!
Love the idle.
I love those old tractors. My dad and I had a super M farmall we used for skidding logs for years. We ended up selling it to a collector who was going to try and restore it.
Love me some Farmall, Massey Ferguson, Dietz Allis(freaking awesome)Gleaner and Steigers......
Loved the video Eric. I’m in farm country a bit north of you and I have done some work on old tractors, they are amazing machines. Simple, easy to work on, and reliable. All the sudden you need a computer engineering degree to fix anything today.
Nice place, so peaceful. Take care!
Nothing like the sound of those old machines....
That's a dandy old H model!! I keep an old '73 Jeep around so my old Marquette dwell meter and Snap On timing light have something to do once in a while! ;)
The old iron is cool! I bought a Ford 8N over 40 years ago and it is still going strong!
Those Darrell H were hard to beat. I drove a 1952 Farmall Super h 6 cylinder 5 speed at my first job. Working on a small farm doing loose hay.
Nice Farmall! My Dad just got a ‘52 Farmall H, he also has a ‘51 Massey Harris 30 and a ‘70 Massey Ferguson 135....
Just picked up a 53 H. Use it to launch my Lund Pro V on a really shallow launch at my cabin on Lake Winnipeg. Don't know much about the tractor but learned alot from your video. Thanks.
Your place is absolutely beautiful Eric.... peace and quiet!
Dude you are so lucky. I really miss my tractor. (Divorced). I could have spent everyday just riding my tractor. I would tie a belt around my waste to hold my kids in my lap and take them for a ride. Didn't want them to fall off. miss it so much.
Nice tractor, I recall my old Farmall A, great little tractor. Used it to plow snow back east. No snow here in Phoenix, Arizona, lol the cars don't rust out here.
What a beautiful place. I'd spend a lot of time relaxing around the pond, just taking it all in.
I still own two Lotus Europa. One I bought when I got out of college, so I have own that car for 48 years.. Just point and Carb on those cars.
Thank you,I love the video. I just pulled my 1943 Farmall H up to my garage. It hasn't run for 20+ yrs. It needs work.I would like to watch you rebuild yours if you ever do it.
Great video! As someone strongly considering an H--and getting close to buying one--your video is very helpful. Patiently recording the oil change process, showing the details, and the helpful, relaxed commentary all make for a superb show. I learned a lot and enjoyed watching.
What a beautiful old unit. Had an opportunity to grab one running in nice shape, bit of a project - did not grab it when I should have.
Also…”small 40 acre plot” ha! Lucky if I’ve got 12 up here in Maine. Keep the content coming!
Love those old simple machines.
My daily is a 1980 Chevy c20.
Great truck.
Love the old tractors lots of nostalgia. Got to love the sound of them especially the old john dere Johnny poppers. Great video as always. You have real nice place.
Great job. Timing was perfect - just pulled my old H and disk up to my shop and am gonna service it tomorrow. Sure my neighbors new 350k combine won’t still be running when it’s 73 years old
Those old disks weren’t heavy enough we would put IH wheel weights on for weight, a lot of farmers would use big rocks from field. Nice to see enjoying yourself on your property Eric! Add a bottle of rislone when changing oil that will eventually get rid of that sludge . The H is a perfect size for the hobby farm.i was raised on Farmall’s but I wanted an old JD tractor bought a 1956 420 perfect size also that pop pop sound is fun . I love old tractors don’t care what color they are . Take care Buddy
Yup nice to see old school iron still looking mint
Miss being on the old M myself. With any luck I'll be getting land soon and jumping back on the saddle. This was a great reminder of what I need to be checking.
Hauled a lot of hay wagons with a Super M... it was a hell of a workout, without power steering, but still a lot of fun. Been on lots of new machines but it will always be my favorite farm tractor.
@@mikeburlison5085 Oh a super M would be a great find. I never got to run one though. I didn’t think the Armstrong steering was too bad, except maybe tilling. Rough fields could be tough.
@@ReinQuest They're about the same tractor. Steering is actually pretty good in the field and on the road. Backing up with a wagon is tough. The narrow front makes it a nimble machine but without the power steering, it's a lot of brute force turning the wheels to get the wagon on target.
@@mikeburlison5085 oof, I never could back a wagon. 😅 That would be hard. Hardest thing I’ve had to do was run an H with a loader. Yea, steering from stop or near stop took a lot of elbow grease.
@@ReinQuest Kudos! Takes a certain knack with the loader. I was always a bit slow with my clutch/bucket timing. lol
Love sma and I just discovered this channel! Great job Eric you are truly awesome!
I loved working on my dad's old Ford 8N tractor. You"re right about simple and overbuilt!
Beautiful piece of land. Very peaceful!
You know that I am A big fan of South Maine Auto, and I have mentioned how much I really do enjoy your videos spent while you're interacting with your family.
Good luck, I am looking forward to watching your new channel.
This channel is a Great idea Mr. O. Thanks for all of the great quality of videos that you produce!
Thanks +Jared Schapker
Oil bath air filter don't just work, they filter EPIC! I want one for my old diesel Land Cruiser
I used to work for Harvester years ago. It is imperative to treat the transmission and rear end drain plugs the same way you did the engine drain plug. Condensation is a real problem. When the condensation mixes with the oil, the water settles out in the roller and ball bearings, causing rust tracks in the bearings. The more years and the more rust and the bearings get loose. Then the transmission gears are separated enough to cause tooth wear, and a transmission re-build.
This reminds me helping my dad working on our 1978 Case on our Apple orchard. Great video Eric.
Hey Eric, I tune in to most of your SMA videos, and really enjoy them but this is a real gem, and another dimension to Eric O! I clocked lots of hours on our old H in my youth mainly during hay season back in the 70’s. I thought that beast was ancient then ! The sound of your tractor idling & working hard in your plow video, tranny whining, checking the oil wow that took me back. You do great videos, I really enjoy them! Also, if you’re ever out in Iowa, checkout FarmallLand, it awesome!
