#tractor #farmlife
Back when I sold equipment for the local Deere dealer, I sold a couple spreaders, I joking told both customers that was the only piece of equipment I wouldn’t stand behind 😂
we traded the old spreader and got a bigger one from kubota and case dealer wich is versitile with hydrulic tailgate wich take beaters off and use as dump trailer
Sears Roebuck and Company said that Same Line
Starting Fluid Works Every Time
That made me laugh.😂
I imagine a few city-peoples Standing behind waiting for the show.
😅
I never thought I would find interesting watching manure being spread and finding it interesting and here I am watching it!
Evan, some encouragement. I am in my sixties and have all gone wrong this week alone broke 3 tools, geyser / boiler went, timers blew. I live with diabetes, heart problems and cancer, I have lost most of my sight and my spine and neck is encased in metal. I am not overweight, walked a half and full marathon.
I started a urban farm 2 years ago to help those in need, but it seems one step forward and three back.
We battle the electricity beast here. Some days 6-8 hours and ot its worst 2 weeks all not because of weather. This week alone 2 days without water.
Drink water from the rain catchment army style. Electricity means no internet and solar out of my reach.
Every day as I approach the cross I get energy and then get up and go again.
Videos and the real you is what inspires me.
So thank you so much.🤗🙏🇿🇦
Use a hair dryer in intake to heat incoming air. I have to do that with my 3000 ford cause it doesn't has the preheater option
Maybe a cordless heat gun to heat up the intake manifold and carb intake would help him out as an alternative?
Your manure spreading got the job done.
Nice seeing the old tractor run
I love how you keep little bloopers in like spilling your coffee. It helps to keep your videos real, and not the so called “perfect” that never happens in real life. God bless my friend. See you in the next video.
These are my favourite typ of videos. Using the old equipment and giving them a run for their money, showing you dont need equipment worth thousands and thousands of dollars
Lol, Evan, watching you try to revive that old tractor was like watching Dr. Frankenstein bring his monster to life. Gnarly looking and stitched together with spare parts, apply some electric shock, flip a lever, and then, "Yeesss!!" 🤣
Really like your videos. Helpful hunt, Give the case a shot of ether. Case tractor's are cold hearted to start in winter
Looks like my grandfathers old spreader. It was a 30 year old case spreader in about the same condition back in the 60's LOL. Neat to see the old equipment still working. Not that its any where near that age. It was just brings back memories. The simplicity is what makes it last. If he was around he would have had to replace the wood on it by now. Carry on Evan. Enjoy.
When turning with a trailed pto driven machine unless you have what's known as a wide angle pto shaft it's better to disengage the PTO while turning stay strong safe and well 🏴👍
Take a link out of the chain
Save your used oil to put on the spreader chains
No sin in using a little ether - especially on an old tractor in the cold 😊
I used my friend’s New Holland 25 horse power tracker to mulch his orchard. He said “you can’t hurt it.” Two loads later a hose busted. Always something
The day turned out alright. Machines worked eventually, that sky didn't 🌧️
When the Case started, I threw my arms up in the air at the same time you did! Good job, Evan.
Stir compost with pallet forks, hay spear etc...
That tractor has a decompression lever under the dash to relieve some of the stress from the starter. Also a bit of ether would help.
My grandpa used a Craftsman heat gun in the intake to get his old case started in cold weather!
Should have just used the heater built into the manifold
I know it needs some work, but that manure spreader is a cool piece of equipment. When I see old stuff like that, I marvel at how people came up with the design of them. That bed chain is genius! 😁
It's run driving the old machines, but it really reminds you how nice a modern cab diesel really is. :)
I used one of those spreaders in the 60s front chain coming off not so bad when the bed chain breaks that's a sod especially when nearly full of muck
Just had that happen to me
Boy I would love to have that compost for my garden. It's just like gold!
Great cold start video. For those of us who have been there and done that, we know that a little "wake up" spray would have served you best.
When it's very cold you can heat the intake manifold with a mapgass torch, hot intake air cuts the cranking by half.
The old case definitely needed a good visit from the ether bunny!
Hi, Evan! I love watching you work with your tractors. You bring them to life.
My Grand Father had a manure spreader just like that, beside using it for the cattle manure, he also grew Tobacco and when the leaves were stripped off the stalks, they would get thrown in the spreader and spread out in the pastures to decompose.
Been there, done that. Growing up on a dairy and tobacco farm in 70's and 80's in Ky. The work never ended. We loaded our manure spreader with pitchforks.
@@brianmcneese9425 Good Days, mid 60's to mid 70's I Hated Stripping Tobacco, in fact I hated everything about growing tobacco except the money, topping on a wet morning was specially Fun.
Once you get the first compost bin empty move everything from the second bin into the first one and then start filling bin 2 again. It helps to turn it and decompose faster.
Why create extra work it will rot anyway
@@arthurdewith7608 so you don’t have to wait for 2 years to decompose and you can use it faster
Get your self a can of starting fluid .A small amount sprayed in you air intake will help with those cold starts.. You can not use it with glow plugs but it will help with old tractors. Just use it sparingly . It is used a lot in colder climates with older equipment . It will also be easier on your starter and battery . Just don't over rev it when it first starts. Another great video always look forward to your videos .Have a great day.
Oh man, that is so cool!! Definitely love what you're doing!
Great video
Interesting seeing the 1961 tractor up and doing something on the farm. How technology changed.
the good old case 730 its nice parts still available for them like kubotas
some people work with old machines because they don't break down like new ones and you don't need to call the service for them, my tractor is from 1988 and still works without any problems
He can work on that old Case tractor and it's all his and not the bank's. Technology has been hijacked to enslave people and put them out of work.
when I farmed I kept a 12 in crescent wench in the tractor too
Static pile composting I work in a compost Facility, in windrow form and you can turn it either yum tractor
A magnetic heater is almost worthless. You need a block heater or tank heater to warm up the heads, where the combustion takes place. That will make a world of difference for cold weather starting.
Growing up way up in New York (very, very near Canada) I learned a lot about spreading. We had both tire and PTO spreaders. It could get very cold and very windy making which way you travel very important. Only took once before I learned that you ALWAYS drive into the wind
Nice to see that i am not the only one using museum pieces on the farm. The nice part is the bank doesnt own any of the iron. Water circulator is easier to install than a block heater....keep spreading the news!!!
as a youngster on a farm i can attest that this job is one of the worst especially in July and August. It ts stink from start to finish. Wore a rain jacket cause our spreader tossed in every direction including up and forward. even after a long shower i stil felt icky. did it with both tractor and horses. Thanks for bringing all those memories.
I remember the same thing. Instead of your rain-jacket we inverted a jute/hessian grain sack, put one of the [originally bottom] corners into the other, and wore it as a sort of combined hood and cloak. Very happy days.
Awesome job I think that spreader was a fantastic buy love your videos wish they were longer
Waving a hand from texas
Your Spreder was a REAL bargin'. With a little work it should do just fine. Thanks for sharing.
Man I love watching the old tractors and equipment still killing it they definitely last a long time not like the newer junk
When you start raising cattle, you’ll have enough manure for your fields. Great video.
Hey y'all ! Fun video Evan ! A drag harrow would help spread that compost more evenly...just a thought buddy ! And a bit of triple 19 fertilizer with the seed may help...I don't know ..just another idea...we dont have a farm ..we just have property that we plant seed...last year we did sorghum Sudan grass and did the triple 19 with the seed and it grew really well over 8ft tall! Fun times ...deer bedded down in it and bunnies hid in it while it was growing, before we turned it under for enriching our soil ...it was our first attempt at the Sudan grass....have a great day ! 👍
i have a drag harrow. That's not a bad idea.
when l was younger we stood on a full trailer full of muck and chuck it of by hand fork HAPPY DAYS
That looked like it was some really good stuff to be spreading. Awesome job. Keep it up
If your going to use a block heater get a inline one that heats the coolant and circulates it and add a cub holder
My 730 has a glow plug button I push to heat the air at the intake and I also have a lever that takes the compression off the cylinders for fast easy starts in cold weather.. yours does too, that little lever on the right by the steering column, twist it too the right..
what year is yours? Mine don't have a button.
@@CountryViewAcres 69. I have a button on the left side of the steering wheel that a wire then goes to the intake manifold that has a glow plug to heat the air..
@@double-h-farms mine is a 1961.
@@CountryViewAcres I too bought a small homestead a few yrs ago that needed a lot of work, I'm still getting things cleaned up, but couldn't afford good equipment so I bought old used stuff, I'll tell ya, fix this fix that, things breaking or not working properly, it's crazy sometimes
My grandfather had that exact same honey wagon. As a kid in the 80s, years after he stopped farming, we would fill it with all the leaves around their house and then spread them on one of his fields. The old way with rakes, no blowers.
The hay that is not composted yet would make great amendment if spread directly on the field. We feed hay to our stock directly on pasture. The best grass grows where the hay was fed if left to be eaten enough or spread out. It breaks down and is gone before first cutting if you have good active soil life. If you leave it to compost you'll lose more nutrients to the atmosphere.
Just a guess… but I suspect the grass grows best where the hay was fed mainly due to the “fertilizer” the cows leave behind while eating the hay rather than the contribution of the hay residue that remains on the ground.
When you spread hay out on pasture you get a double benefit seeds and some hay and what the cattle leaves behind 90%consumed more or less have reseed parts of bare pasture and stopped washing
I remember moving chicken or goat crap i can just smell it from the screen 😂
It's nice to see the case being used
a trick i learned from a old 2 stroke detroit is to crank till smoke then let the smoke warm the cylnder and start easier
I laughed when I saw the close up of putting the locking pin in the hitch pin 😂
I noticed that too 😂
Yeah, we only did that before going down a public road.
My old 1210 David Brown was a hard start and it had a block heater always had to give it a shot of liquid courage when cold weather was on us 😊😊
Nice job. I enjoyed the video
My tractors of this vintage all have starting fluid systems built-in, and a block heater plumbed into the coolant, which works much better than the stick-on oil pan options. If you don't have or haven't plugged-in the heater, a 1 second spray of fluid in the top of the air intake, and you'd be off and running without a battery charger of any sort. Thanks for the vid!
Maybe you can take one link out of the chain and adjust it accordingly. I think the spreader is cool. Hopefully it can be repaired for further use.
This was my thought, back the tensioner all the way down and remove a link, or maybe 2, then retighten
Two links. You have to remove chain links in pairs.
It’s amazing how much a little bit of manure/compost helps the soil nutrients also if moisture is good it helps a lot
Break out the Ether. There it goes! I had a friend operating a brush hog and tried to step over the turn bunkle and his pant leg got caught and he lost his leg from the knee down. Used his own belt to stem the bleeding. Careful!
Starter Fluid would come in handy for cold starting old tractors!
I suggest putting that case tractor inside a building if you want to continue to use it during the cold winter months so it starts easier for you
Heeeeeeeey evan the guy on out of the woods has the machine you need for the front of your tractor for trimming the tree line and the fence line.
Love watching the vintage equipment at work, and your video quality is top notch. Very entertaining. Thank you
Two of the biggest group 31 CCA 12 volt batteries hooked in parallel,with 00 battery cables would really help
Hello Evan! Those older Case tractors may be a little hard to start with the cold but they usually last pretty good, congrats you got her running. You got a good buy at a $200 price on the manure spreader, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.
Because he's using vintage equipment, I'll bet his operation is clearing a profit. Plus he can work on his own stuff and not be a prisoner to John Deere.
As for the Case tractor, doesn't that thing have glow plugs? It should just start right up if it does.
Hi Evan I was just waiting for the apron on the spreader to bust.But you got it unloaded good for you.
Evan, keep a spray can of WD40 in the tractor. Spray it into the intake like you would ether. It works just as well but not as hard on the engine as ether.
to start a cold diesel engine more easily,
insert a hair dryer on hottest setting or a hot air gun in the air intake,
then the engine needs to make less heat in the engine to ignite the diesel
Nothing like a diesel cold start and spending crap and compost all in one video I thought you had sold the case tractor I hadn’t saw it in a video for a while
Under two hundred bucks and it works... Heck of a good deal
You can use a PTO driven spreader to mix your pile. Just back it up to where you want it and load it while its running at lower rpms so it doesn’t fling it into the woods.
Beautiful tractor. Great job getting it started. Love seeing you use the old stuff.
I Love Old Tractors!! Have a Great Week!! 🌹😊❤
If u want QUICK finished Kompost just turn around every 2 Weeks. This will quicken up the rotten process nearby 5 times... ready to use in 4 Month
Evan you probably need a half link to shorten the chain so you can adjust it.
Leaf mold is great for clay soil to amend it.
I love the old equipment and tractors!!
This dude never sleeps, oh To be that young again ! !
The case tractor needs glow plugs. It also is supposed to have two 12 volts batteries not one positive to positive to starter negative to negative to ground. Glow plugs will help the starter work better also spray starter fluid would help a lot. 18:38
You did good don't always need either he doesn't need a either baby it started and did it's job but yeah you happen to have grapler for tractor use it to mix compose
Great job keep up the good work thank you love your videos
Glad to see the antique tractor fleet is in operation again. If you are feeling limited on your compost then look up the Johnson-su bioreactors, they give several talks and the channel young red angus has done a bunch of testing, it's really good for crops including hay.
You're Case is a beautiful Ol Gal! Love her head lights!
Your Case would benefit from a block heater in cold weather. If you build an extra compost bin you can occasionally "turn" your compost by transfering it from one bin to another. Your spreader chain could need a half link taken out or a new one.
Hi, friend.
Good job. well done.
Your tractor is old, but it's great.
I live in the other hemisphere and I also have an old mtz-50 tractor in my farm in 1978. and it also starts badly :)
good luck to you.
I enjoying all your videos
lookin' good, nice work, keep safe..
Please make some plate at the front on your manure spreader.. if there is a rock in the compost, you have the chance it will be launched to the front of the tractor... You don't want a rock to your head! Keep up the good work!
Friendly tip: keep the RPMs down when you engage the PTO. It’ll extend the life of any implement.
Totally agree.
And ya won’t get shit on

Chain guard helps hold chain to the sprocket that came along later
These hobby guys are all pretty hard on stuff. I think my old man woulda tanned my hide if I ran our spreaders that hard, lol.
Like some other people have said,use some ether. A lot of tractors of this era had trouble starting if it wasn't 60 degrees out.
block heater
I spent a few hours towing one of those around in my teens (50s-60s). Our farm was on the top of a hill in Central NY. We had a large (for the time) 600+ acre with 70 to 90 milk cows (5 surge milking machines) so our daily "material" we spread was usually fresh from the cows. On that hill the wind was often "brisk" teaching me that no matter how cold the winter wind on that open M tractor, face into it. If you didn't the "material" would catch up to YOU in a most unpleasant manner! You may consider wind direction and speed when you spread that nice dry (comparatively speaking) product. One advantage of that wind was the field very often were swept clean, getting to them was the problem.
It would be Interesting to fly the drone over where you spread the compost then do it again this summer, to see the impact it has.
Great job Evan, good to see the spreader working so well. You'll get the chain fixed on it I'm sure. Stay safe around there and keep up th great videos and fun times. Fred.
John Deere had a 730 I learned how to drive it at 12yrs old, I was too young to operate the big 800 & 820's
Evan I would suggest to put a water heater for the Case. It would keep the block and radiator warm. I connected the engine heater and heated the engine a day before I used the tractor. When it started snowing I plugged in the tractor just as a safety factor for clearing the driveway.
That spreader is BAD ASS , it needs some TLC brother that’s all
Excellent video, in this case Evan, you need a giant fan, a strong back, shovel and let Rebecca drive the tractor, while you shovel the 💩until it hits the fan. Great job, keep them coming.
