I had no doubt. Many years ago, a National Guard construction troupe was doing some winter exercises in a swamp in Western Minnesota. They were using an International TD-24 tractor/dozer. The machine fell through the ice in a swamp, and the machine was under water. The Guard unit left it to rust. Forty-Three years later, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources wanted the machine out of the swamp. A group of preservationists, along with two heavy duty wreckers fished the machine out of the swamp,and hauled it to Perham, Minnesota. It was worked on, and now runs and works. The machine is on display at the fairgrounds in Perham, Minnesota, where it moves and works during festivals on the grounds.
It's always funny that people will put so much time into painting, but won't even bother to clean anything first. I've seen old machine tools where you just peel off 8 layers of paint, clean it up, and the original paint at the bottom still looks fine!
Oh man?!!! Was that a big red I saw 👀 😭
More paint more better.... Right
My grandfather had a metal lathe that we couldn't tell what year model anything on because it had so much paint on it. I'm not joking when I say when we stripped the paint off of it it had 21 layers of paint on it.
Really depends on what type of machine we are speaking of. Big Tools are painted to keep looking fresh. They some time even painted them new so that the original paint does not go bad or its not the color of their shop. Painting also helps with theft or people trying to sell your machine. I have seen massive amounts of things painted and its hard seeing a machine that has years and years of paint on it. I spent 2 solid weeks stripping, sanding and cleaning up a massive 18 inch jointer for someone. I spent so much time removing layers and layer of paint. I sanded and fixed a lot of castings marks and made it look very nice and we painted it a bright yellow and polished all the knobs and handles along with paint on them. A few years later the guy died and the original owner of the machine came and got it for a stupid low price (100 dollars ) and now it sits under cover in one of his buildings to never be used again. I worked 2 weeks and was paid and traded for some stuff. The hours I put in to that machine and it was sold for 100 bucks. FFS.
Yea seems counter productive to me
I was raised on an "Oliver" tractor farm. All were bought used and we spent the winter restoring some of them for the next season. I am 78 years old and am still cleaning the grease from under my fingernails. It has lasted longer than 2 wives, both were great ladies.
My family used to own an early to mid 70's Cub Lawn tractor (the model with the taller than usual rear wheels). It's amazing how over engineered and powerful small tractors were back then. I also really love and appreciate (looking back now) how EVERYTHING was metal and robust with no cheap plastic panels or weak alloy components. They had real weight to them because the frame and cases were thick steel that made them far more stable to mow on steep hilly areas by proving the traction and lower center of gravity needed. You can't forget about the proper PTO that allows that small tractor to be used as a real tractor when needed. Watching this video makes me want to start hunting down an old unit to restore and replace my current plastic, composite, alloy, and thin sheet metal framed 2019 Cub.
Matt is so genuinely happy when his machines start running. That makes the process complete.
Great rescue
First time I've seen a man give mouth-to-mouth to a cub cadet. You sure do love them!
😂😂😂
The old Koehler engines have mechanical fuel pumps that would have outlasted the pyramids if they hadn't put alcohol in the fuel. The Cubs were gravity fed so not that big of an issue but the Wheelhorse tractors have a tank under the seat. I have 2 that you used to have to breathe some life into before I put electric fuel pumps on. The springs that close the check valves in the pump are steel which pretty much disintegrate in water which alcohol gathers.
So yep, if you want it to start, pucker up and give that fuel tank a big sloppy one. The tounge thing is optional and not recommended....

Howdyyawl from the land down under. You have a way with engines that some would give up on. Shame about the flooding, but thats mother nature for you. We may see the resto latter on maybe. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.😊
It would make a great project for a full restoration. I would love to see you strip it down completely, clean the frame and all the components. Repair what needs repairing, replace what needs replacing. Repaint and rebuild. It would be sweet to see the result.
I would also. But sadly I don't think we will ever see this tractor again. He has tons of such projects and still gets more every week. At some point the number of projects will certainly out number the life span of even the oldest person ever in existence... The number of projects he has started are amazing. But I personally have never seen but maybe one or two finish at this point. I think he just loves to get old equipment and make them run. Than the challenge is gone and he moves on to the next. JMHO
@@garymucher9590 He needs to partner up with someone interested in taking the project on to full restoration.
Yeah Matt,
Hopefully, you have second thoughts and do a total rebuild !! It's worth it, I think - don't you think so ?
@@garymucher9590 yeah it would be nice to concentrate on one project rather than getting interested in one that’s never going to get finished
@@johnking8679 Autocar first.
Fantastic exit , Matt the Marvel riding the cute Cub Cadet. Thanks for sharing 🚜🚜🚜
Matt, you're the Noah of second hand equipment. Two of each kind saved.
Good ucker?
Wonder if he can get them to mate.
Had a 124. Best tractor I had. You can not kill these.
Nothing beats that genuine smile of happiness when you get an oldie running again! Please keep it up, I love these videos!!
19:53 Laurie Anderson , Oh Superman!
I think we forget just how young
Matt is. If I’m not mistaken he’s less than 30 years old. Rome was not built in one day when it comes to buildings. Amazing young man
iirc he is 27
No way he's under 30 years young.. couldnt believe it unless it came from him..
@@Z-Ack He said in a video a while back that he was 27.
@@zynifi “ a while back” could be years lol.
@@lawnmowerdude No. it was a fairly decent video, I think it was the one where he fixed the radiator of his red truck.
Hurricane Larry's rains I guess? Love your hi-tech words like "yumminess"! My memory of the unforgettable smell of ether was when I had my tonsils out when I was seven years old: not yesterday! That old IH tractor was like a bucking bronco when you first put her into gear. Well done to get her running after more than a decade.
As a keeper of cubs myself... great job on the recovery. Sorry about the flood.
nice, love those old cub cadets
those old tractors are great. i've revived a few of them and thats a good feeling.
When I moved my Mom down to Georgia from NY to take care of her 4 years ago, I bought a 16' cargo trailer to bring down her stuff. I left behind her Wheel Horse tractor they bought new in the mid 70's. It was still operational and my sister's husband used it to cut her lawn afterwards. There was much I wanted to bring down, but I filled the trailer with about 5,000 lbs. of her stuff and with a 37HP tractor to mow my lawn I didn't really "need" the Wheel Horse. It was really in very good condition as it was used every year, stored in a barn and battery removed every winter. Glad to see yet another piece of vintage steel brought back to life!
Rewatching this video reminds me of childhood in Mt. Pleasant. Ted Burrier my older neighbor used coffee cans to put loose parts. Long ago memory..59 years.
Fixing to watch on the big screen
You’ll see me in person the 30th lol
@@DieselCreek Matt I am so sorry this happened to you....trust me I'm in Louisiana so I know what you're going through.... hope everyone is safe and here's to DRIER DAYS AHEAD
And a most excellent use of nut-rounders, too :)
The old Cub Cadets are a solid machine. I have a 124 and it's a torque monster...
Matt: Being an owner and fan of Cub Cadets I am mighty obliged for your efforts to save these great old machines. I'm honest when I say that the first few minutes of your video were heart breaking to watch. I can't imagine how painful it was for you to live through. Good work getting everything above the water and an overall great chunk-o-content!
Holy crap. That water was high. Shame about your small tractors and garage being flooded, but I hope your home and neighbors were ok! Sounds good and the look on your face was sheer child like joy. Pretty cool.
It’s good to see Matt appreciate the finer things in life, anyone can go out and buy a new tractor.
Never seen CPR on a mower before but I think that is what you just did... it immediately ran after you blew into it. Amazing!
Hi Matt sorry to hear and see your predicament, maybe time to start looking for a house on a mountain side. Keep things nice and dry. Take care. Bravo from Victoria Australia

Agreed. I hope all gets better Matt. (Ron in Australia)

Hi Michael Also from Victoria Australia Glad to see your enjoying Matt's content Just like me.

Did that bring back memories. I had one just like yours. It had been bored and rebuilt just before I got it. I plowed snow with it for six or seven years before I got my first Kubota. That ole Cub was one tough "mother". I had chains on the rear and with a 52" blade. I shamed a guy on our street with a 25hp full dress green mach. The Kohler engine had 7hp label on the housing. I was rolling 10" of snow in high gear because of the blade geo. He was spinning out in low and his blade was actually pushing down on the snow rather getting under and rolling it off. He stopped me and asked "how many hp does that thing have?' I Just flipped the hood up, he saw that 7hp, muttered a expletive and went in the house. Never saw him again.....
Nice work on your part-keep up the variety..
Matt is happy, so we're happy. Good stuff, great channel! Greetings from Norway.
My uncle had one of the original Cub Cadets. He lived in Marietta, Ohio. I was just a kid and still can see that tractor in action.
I feel your pain Matt, I'm in southeast Louisiana and we are dealing with the aftermath of flooding too.
I'm so broke I can't even afore a push mower and you have so many man you are blessed, avid fan from VA
Its great that you have "saved" these tractors from the scrap pile. It seems counter productive to start work on a promising project, with little effort made to clean the area of work, of oil and debris. If 25+ years as an aircraft mechanic taught me anything. it was clean is good and contaminated, with heaven knows what, was not good. A few minutes general cleaning would pay benefits in the end.
I just brought a Model 70 back from the dead recently-these are awesome little tractors that punch way above their weight.
Oh my this is bad news. I hope everything gets better there fast and the damage was not to bad.
I love these tractors, I have a 100 and a 102 and 122 . They were built great.
I was just thinking right about now the old church would make a heck of a nice workshop for you. and hopefully it's not in a flood area.
Floods suck! At least everyone appeared to be safe.
You know a boy loves his tractor when he's willing to give it mouth to mouth!
Holy crap! Seeing your collection flooded was heartbreaking 😟. I guess it could be worse but it's bad enough.
We had 2 Cub Cadets. The first was from the early 60's and was a 10 horse model. The 2nd one was from the late 60's or early 70's and was a 14 horse with a hydrostatic drive. Both were great machines. Back when they were made by International Harvester they were well designed and over engineered. Today the Cub Cadet name is owned by MTD and they are designed and built like all the other MTD machines.
I’ve loved working with small engines for years. I’m like a kid with a new toy. Always fun to watch your videos Matt.
She's a screamer; well done.
Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
Buildings in a flood plane always find a way to become indoor swamps even if it’s only once every 100 years.
Sorry to see the flooding glad the damage was minimal
That flooding is NUTS! Hope the damage wasn't too bad. Love it when I see you get an old piece of machinery running again! Fantastic!
Dont sound bad at all Sounds pretty healthy Old Motor 😮nice Matt 21:50 @Diesel Creek
Amazing that the charging system still works and the engine seems to be okay and not an oil burner
Great video as always Matt 30:00 @Diesel Creek
My dad's rebuilt a few older cub cadets. I've been using one of them to mow my yard and it's awesome. It has the hydrostatic transmission in it and man it flies. Lol. Great old tractors.

I used TI work for IH years ago. I was overhauling Cubs that were 30 years old, and only needed a .10 over bore to get another 30 years.
Great job getting her going. Very nice looking little tractor...
Would love to see you restore the Cub.
Hey Matt, Great job man, not to take anything away from your accomplishments but I believe the correct terminology is "needle and seat" for what you unstuck on the carburetor which allows fuel to fill the bowl. A "jet" actually meters the flow to the engine in precise amounts for combustion. That being said you did wonderful, sorry for the flooding. Have a great day and stay safe.
I’ve never seen a water cooled differential before. What an amazing recovery. Did your church renovation get flooded too? Wishing you and your family a safe recovery. Peace Matt.
Do a full restoration on this little garden
I feel the hurt in your voice Matt, may the Mechanincal Gods be with you, keep safe.
Glad you take the time to clean your nice collection up. Old garden tractors need to be saved regardless of brand. Sorry for your flood damage. Greetings from Montana.

its amazing mate you saved these things for a second time now and great to get the old girl going.
It always amazes me how the water finds its way in but the oil never falls out 😂
WOW... you were not joking when you said you had some flooding... holy moses..
I'm located in the Nevada desert and floods are not very common, but much more violent. Congratulations on buying a contact points file. It might take some gettin' use to, but silica deposits from sandpaper or a finger nail file will be a thing of the past. I've had the same one for over 50 years. Next you might look for a "Dog bone wrench" for female square drain plugs. Some older ones are not the common 3/8" or 1/2" size that you can use a socket wrench on. I really like your videos so keep 'em coming.
Matt, it may be time to move your tractor stash out to the farm. Wouldn’t mind watching you resto this old gem. 👍
I was thinking he had an empty Church sanctuary 😁
Please do more of these
"Put some diesel in the crankcase and a bit of oil in the cylinder."
I know it makes sense, but this makes me giggle.
Sounds like something my daughter might do...but not in a good way!
same :D
idk how those string of words sound funny to u
Its nice to see old dogs come back to life, Sorry about all that water, what a mess ? See Ya
I'd love to find one of those old cubs one day. I had one when I was a kid, my grandfather gave to me. I don't know why I ever gave it away, should've kept it forever. first and second gear, slow. shift into third gear, wheelie time!
All over Face Book market place right now. people about giving them away. its a shame. I still have 5 in my barn, down from 10
I used my old 70 to mow five acres a week. The deck could really handle tall grass.
Loved seeing that old bugger going!
WOW! That really bites, hope everything turns out okay. How did the church project hold up?
I forgot, the only thing I ever really did was rebuild the clutch on the drive shaft. Great MEMORIES!!!!!!
Mat, do you watch Mustie 1’s channel? You guys have a lot in common. It would be nice to see you guys working on some junk together… congrats on your videos! I love it!
Those old Cubs were bulletproof. Our 1964 had the motor rebuilt at least once, I think twice, in the end Cut grass and plowed snow for at least 25 years. I think Dad bought it used in '74. Had a tooth missing out of 2nd gear and kept rolling. The mower deck was 1/4" thick cast. They were designed not to break.
I’m always excited to see a new addition to this channel, but this one quickly made me sad. Sorry you had to go through that. That’s rough to have your possessions damaged like that.
Still, you have loads of material for the future now and I’ll happily watch the restoration.
Matt - I totally understand your facination with the old IH Cub Cadets. I only have two, a '71 Model 106 and a '64 Model 100. The 100 is by far my favorite lawn tractor and is my "daily driver". Great video, Matt. I'd love to see you fully restore your cool Original!
A 64 100 was my first cub!
Hey Matt, figured this would be a nice video to ask my question in. I noticed in the ending of one of your recent videos that you were moving a satoh tractor. Do you know much about them? Recently got a Satoh S373D and would love to hear what you think of them!
Great to see that ole cadet running again my favorite also I've never owned one but still love em
I love how regular folk say "over built' when I know as an engineer... the engineer - given the job was most likely told, "No new parts" by his boss... LOL (that said, shhh... I love your videos, just a peeve phrase of mine - oh well)
Sorry about the fact you got flooded out. glad you were able to fire off that ol' girl. Thanks for the share, really enjoy your videos Matt. you be safe and we'll catch on the next one.
Since when is a float valve called a "jet"? Interesting video aside from a little misspoken nomenclature. Thanks!
She is a runner, just needed a little love and a kiss.
Those old cubbies are cool
Just my 2 cents, but I'd quit buying more equipment and put all my funds into the new shop and get all your stuff in one place that's totally secure and dry.
The biggest issue with flood water is how dirty the water. Sounds like it is time to build another barn on the farm to keep the toys safe from flood waters.
Pretty cool, Matt. Thank you.
Dang that old girl runs super smooth all by herself heck yeah Matt Whst a gem 27:10 @Diesel Creek
The Old Girl is beautiful and sounds great. I use to have an Allis Chambers 610, she was my backup lawn mower. I called her old reliable.

Here’s a suggestion for your shop. Wood pallets. They’re cheap or free. Stack them as high as you need, throw on some cheap plywood, ramp up from the ground and park everything up in the dry.
That is when they built small tractors. That rear dif is mad on a tractor that size no wonder they were able to up scale it. The new ones are all plastic fantastic with a built in life span of 3 to 5 years. Wonderful old machine.
I’ve always liked tinkering taking things apart but your channel has inspired me to become a mechanic my dad found a power washer in the trash we are going to fix it up this summer
That's a video of a happy man right there. Those old Kohlers are tough. Thanks for sharing!
The clap and excitement! I do same thing when fixing things
That was almost a repeat of when Johnny Cash wrote the song "Five Feet High & Rising" from the flood His Parents had. He tells the story well along with His Dad in a video on 1 of His Christmas Shows.
What a great little tractor. Glad you saved it from the flood.
My experience with small engines has been mostly boat motors. But sea foam is a blessing. Make your own. A jigger of acetone in a quart of kerosene. Rings and everything love it. Especialy if you fog it in the intake until it dies and let it set. It will run the mosquitoes out of town..that's a sweet engine.
I think you would be a great teacher! Spread your knowledge.
That sure wants to live, sounds great.
I love your videos. They can't be too long. I admire your mechanical knowledge & laugh at you sometimes with you screw ups.
Your one of my favorite channels & look for every night when i get home & turn the tube on. You seem like the kinda guy I would like to sit & have a beer with. Thank you for your time & effort as i am sure it takes alot to get your vids out. I am not a DIYer and not mechanically skilled so i am am amazed at how you figure all that stuff out and make it work. Thank you & keep em coming but don't go to commercial.
Sorry to see your stuff got flooded. Hope your house is ok, the farm is on a hill so other than 6 feet of mud it should be dry. It’ll be a month before it’s dry again. Great job getting the old girl running again.
I add Marvel Mystery Oil, STP injector cleaner, and Sea Foam to the gas that I use in my small engines. It helps to keep the fuel components clean.
I'm not big on small lawnmower type tractors, but it hurt my heart when you popped the diff and all that water came out. Good on you for making the best of a bad situation.
Sorry to see your flooding situation. But sometimes good comes from bad. At least you got a really cool tractor running! Restore it!
