I’m from Kentucky and haven’t lived there in 12 years and haven’t been back home in several years. I miss it but know I’ll never be back. I’m settled somewhere else. This video did my soul good
Ralph! I’m sitting on my Farmall Cub right now, she’s a 1950 and is a working tractor on my property, she’s been with me for over 30 something years. There strong machines like you!!!
As a kid my grandfather drove me around his farmall tractors he had for years. We had owned a cub, h and super M. So many memories were made on those tractors on our farm. This video gives me great happiness thinking of times spent with him. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome Love Ralph.. he sure had that Tractor a very Long time!! God Bless him! God bless you John and your Sweet Wife! JoAnn age 64 North Florida. Lake City, Fla..
Now you're getting up my alley with that old Farmall C. I love Farmalls and have my Daddy's 140. The first tractor I ever drove and used was Grandpa's Farmall Cub.
I would love to sit in the swing with Ralph and talk about his past. John, I think it's so kind of you to visit and spend time with Ralph., You are so patient with him.
That was a great day for Ralph. You know when you get older you seem to sit and ponder about when you were young. I'm 70 and doing this now. My 2 ND great grandfather stage coach days and the homestead pictures.its good to get them out to share their story in life. Thank you for sharing Ralphs story
If that tractor could only talk, it has seen hard times, good times, love, and laughter. Yes, every video you make with Mr. Ralph is a treasure by itself...
This is what we need to see so much more of nice feel good stories bless this man and his tractor.....Hey 95 years from now a new tractor today wiil not run much less be around and they say progress???
A half hour show with Ralph telling stories while fixing his tractor or stuff around the farm would be awesome. Monday evening only on the "Appalachian channel"
Hello old school farm tractor before my time Wow a blessing to keep and old tractor around today's farmers get to see what farmers use to use back in the day mr.raph 95 years old wow lord blessed him to see 95 years 🙏.
Good ole Ralph, tryed to take care of his "Trak-tor " fer the last 52years. He bought the Best fuel; always & "greezed it reg-er-ler". New "tar-erz" every 27 er so years, but NEVER spent a "dime on extree" paint. Sure hope my "Trak-tors last this long. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Video showing Ralph as a strapping young man with hair like Elvis and now a man who has seen it all. I always chat with older people when I have a chance. Their stories of earlier times are so often rich with history.
It's cool he's had that all these years, I have the 1946 H my grandpa bought brand new, I bought it from him in 1997 and she still purrs like a kitten.
My dad is 79 and he remembers everything especially combines. He grew up running horses to pull seeding equipment but they had 2 massey 21 combines and then he went to a massey harris 90 special then a cockshutt combine then a gleaner m2 then a case ih 1660 then the case ih 7120 came along and it was mind blowing for him. Seeding went from horses and diskers to an old massey 401 and a 10 ft disker then went to case 800 with a 15 ft disker to a 930 case wiith a 15 ft disker to a 1370 with 30 feet of john deere diskers then a 4494 with 30 feet of JD diskers to 36 feet of massey ferguson diskers with the 4494 and now to 51 ft and 380 bu cart of new holland air drill. I hope i get to see as much as my dad saw in his life
I should say from the diskers we went to the 51ft new holland with an stx 450 in front of it. Pretty sure my dad loves that stx 450 more than anything he’s ever bought before
My grandfather still has the same 4 tractors he bought 50-70 years ago. He bought a new one about 10 years ago so he didn't have to switch implements anymore snow he has a designated tractor for each use.
Did Ralph say if the tractor still runs? Great video once again. It's awesome to see Ralph in his glory speaking of his past life. Thanks for sharing. William
Thanks for the comment and watching the video. It was a great honor for me to make almost 40 videos with Ralph Robertson that I filmed over a two year period. Since his passing in December they have been a surge in his video views here on RUclips. The series was first posted a few years back on Facebook but at that time the RUclips Channel only had about 2k subscribers. Now that I’m at over 100k subs “The Greasy Hollow Memories” videos have found a whole new audience.. Come along with me to Greasy Hollow, Tennessee and meet a real Appalachian storyteller that became a living legend. Below is a link to the Greasy Hollow Memories series if you would like to watch more. John Ward ruclips.net/p/PLhiXVG-s0EOmwKTuG8AZ4_qRBG88DxNtL
I enjoyed that, thanks! Also, I think the thing on the wagon is the stator from an electric motor. It's way to big to be a tractor generator. I think it being red is just a coincidence.
Impressive that Ralph had the wherewithal to purchase that tractor back in 1950 as a 24 yr old! I'll bet he could tell you many stories about that Farmall and him.
My Dad had the exact same tractor. A 1950 Farmall C with narrow front end. As a boy I spent many hours on that tractor raking hay, spreading manure, working ground, etc. He sold it in 2001 for more money than he paid for it! Good memories.
I think Ralph's Farmall is an 'H' bigger than a 'C'. My dad had a John Deere model 'B' which was similar in HP and size to a Farmall model 'H', would pull a 2 bottom plow and a 8' tandem disk and 2 row cultivator. We farmed 120 acres with the John Deere 'B'. It did ok but it strained it to run the model 12A combine, a lot of PTO power required and would have helped to have a live PTO like the newer Model 50/60 John Deere tractors.
Thank you for sharing this video about Ralph Robertson and his Farm All Tractor. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. This type of video is, to me, what America is all about. 💯 % AMERICANA. STAN
I have the 1943 Farmall H my paternal grandfather bought when when my dad was in Europe during WWll. Manual and all purchase paperwork in original cardboard-like sleeve.
We had a older friend of our family who owned a 1949 and 1951 Farmall model A. Used to ride the tractor across his fields with a similar trailer in this video. He would have been 100 years old this year if he were alive.
Love to sit and listen to guys like Ralph talk about the past and it’s even better when they are in their environment where they spent many years. You could see on there face every corner on the farm is a memory and a story. Even though times have changed along with technology we can still learn from these guys like Ralph.
He looks wonderful at 95. These are precious videos, thanks. In Joy
I’m from Kentucky and haven’t lived there in 12 years and haven’t been back home in several years. I miss it but know I’ll never be back. I’m settled somewhere else.
This video did my soul good
Hope we see more of Ralph this year 🇺🇸
I wish I had this man's knowledge about farming. Thank you sir for showing us your tractor.
Ralph looks very strong for 95 years old. He's o cute . Thank you for this wonderful channel, keep it going.
Ralph! I’m sitting on my Farmall Cub right now, she’s a 1950 and is a working tractor on my property, she’s been with me for over 30 something years. There strong machines like you!!!
My Dad had one. When he quit farming & moved to town, he drove it there and parked it in the back yard!
As a kid my grandfather drove me around his farmall tractors he had for years. We had owned a cub, h and super M. So many memories were made on those tractors on our farm. This video gives me great happiness thinking of times spent with him. Thanks for sharing.
My customer Frank. I'm restoring his 48 farmall C. He bought it new. Love these stores. God bless these men for keeping them.
That’s awesome
Awesome Love Ralph.. he sure had that Tractor a very Long time!! God Bless him! God bless you John and your Sweet Wife! JoAnn age 64 North Florida. Lake City, Fla..
Great job Ralph. You remind me of my Papa. Many happy memories with him. Stay well and keep farming it has done you well. 🚜
At 95 this man's a spittin image of my 87 year old father. Love hearing the stories from the old timers.
Now you're getting up my alley with that old Farmall C. I love Farmalls and have my Daddy's 140. The first tractor I ever drove and used was Grandpa's Farmall Cub.
I have two cubs. 48 that I use and a 49 for parts . Love my old girl
Me too
I would love to sit in the swing with Ralph and talk about his past. John, I think it's so kind of you to visit and spend time with Ralph., You are so patient with him.
I used a tractor almost exactly like that when I was young. I spent many a day plowing tobacco and raking hay on it. Thanks for the memories.
That was a great day for Ralph. You know when you get older you seem to sit and ponder about when you were young. I'm 70 and doing this now. My 2 ND great grandfather stage coach days and the homestead pictures.its good to get them out to share their story in life. Thank you for sharing Ralphs story
Sorry to hear of the passing of your mom . Can send you and your family my condolences. Nice to see Ralph again thank you John.
If that tractor could only talk, it has seen hard times, good times, love, and laughter. Yes, every video you make with Mr. Ralph is a treasure by itself...
Wow! Two thumbs up 👍! Nothing like watching a true Salt of the earth person!

That man has done so much hard work-hats off to him--old cat mechanic here- just a 60 year old young fella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This old boy still has it together. He knows what he is talking about.
Thanks so much for updating me on ralph I missed you guys together ❤
Video showing Ralph as a strapping young man with hair like Elvis and now a man who has seen it all. I always chat with older people when I have a chance. Their stories of earlier times are so often rich with history.
That is so true
It's cool he's had that all these years, I have the 1946 H my grandpa bought brand new, I bought it from him in 1997 and she still purrs like a kitten.
Yes he’s pretty protective over all his things
Love your shows keep at it pay off in time
So glad to see him back on the video
Ralph reminds me of my dad, same generation and making videos too.
Nice stories!
My dad is 79 and he remembers everything especially combines. He grew up running horses to pull seeding equipment but they had 2 massey 21 combines and then he went to a massey harris 90 special then a cockshutt combine then a gleaner m2 then a case ih 1660 then the case ih 7120 came along and it was mind blowing for him.

I hope i get to see as much as my dad saw in his life
I should say from the diskers we went to the 51ft new holland with an stx 450 in front of it. Pretty sure my dad loves that stx 450 more than anything he’s ever bought before
Awesome
Great to see this man with his tractor…
Love the videos of Ralph if this was filmed in 2021 how is Ralph’s health now I would love to see more videos of him if possible
That’s a part of an old electric motor and great video thanks
24.17 hp draw bar. That young man was on it . Great old tractors.
Our farm had a farm all A, two Cs and two Ms. Growing up I drove all of them but spent many,many hours on the M. Great memories and lifestyle.
Always great to see Ralph!!
Yes it is, what a fella huh?
My grandfather still has the same 4 tractors he bought 50-70 years ago. He bought a new one about 10 years ago so he didn't have to switch implements anymore snow he has a designated tractor for each use.
We have one my grandpa bought it new in 1948 still running to this day C Farmall
Thank you for sharing Ralph's story with us!
Did Ralph say if the tractor still runs? Great video once again. It's awesome to see Ralph in his glory speaking of his past life. Thanks for sharing. William
Bet it does not take much to get it running. Might have been parked some years, change of filters, gasoline, oil.

One of the best made a Farmall is what I grew up on and still love. Great video
That’s a beautiful tractor! Thank you for sharing. ❤️👍
That film of him as a young man - pretty rare because no one had a movie camera, but very cool addition to this video!
Yes indeed
Still living on his farm on his own god bless him
Thank you
Love how Ralph calls tobacco "baccer"........great stuff!!
I enjoyed that, thanks! Also, I think the thing on the wagon is the stator from an electric motor. It's way to big to be a tractor generator. I think it being red is just a coincidence.
That was good John. Thanks for the video. God bless.
Hi John 🖐️ always enjoy seeing Ralph, God bless you guys 🖐️👍

You’re welcome Stan
Nice god bless
I have the 1943 Farmall H my paternal grandfather bought when when my dad was in Europe during WWll. Manual and all purchase paperwork in original cardboard-like sleeve.
He's committed to the brand and till the end God bless him
Thats part of a big electric motor, It was never a part of that tractor. Love the videos!
We had a older friend of our family who owned a 1949 and 1951 Farmall model A. Used to ride the tractor across his fields with a similar trailer in this video. He would have been 100 years old this year if he were alive.
Good old strait C Farmall. That tractor originally came with a 6v generator from factory.
Love this channel. God bless him.

yes a long history there on that farm.Thanks for the watching my videos! John Ward
Love that old barn!
The bed head board or bed railing also in with the lawn Moores. The head board is probably older than the tractor.
Thanks for sharing YEEYEE 👍🤠
You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching.
You need to get the tractor running for him I think he would love that
Another awesome video Thank You Guys 😀
Молодец дед,живи долго на радость детям.
Thanks
It would be neat to see if it had that GM three wire alternator on it in the older video!
Ageing is such an underrated thing in life.
The old Farmall H I have, think it's a 53, always starts. Great piece of machinery.
Would love the full version of the song, please.....do share. Thank you.
Back when they made products to last. Good Ole boy with a good Ole tractor
