Build cards are available from the super series on up and they have build ledgers for some MM tractors as well.
Thank you so much for visiting, Ethan! We appreciate the promotion!
Thanks for taking the time to show us around.
Excellent coverage of the museum.
Thanks
Oliver/White DVDs would be great. I just found Farmington Implement's International Harvester DVDs a few months ago, and I was blown away by the amount of DVDs they've made and how obscure some of the films are. It's safe to assume they've preserved a good amount of International's history.
Now THAT'S frigging cool. Nicely done Ethan.
This place has got to be the coolest place on the planet, deff making plans to get out there this year or next.
That is amazing. So much stuff in there, overwhelming for sure. Definately have to give them a call sometime, see if i can get a build card for Dad's 770 and my father in law's 1850. Thanks for showing us around in there. I definatly have to visit this place myself some day.
Screw long Ethan. One of yer best videos so far.
WOW!!! I wouldnt belive all this information is still avaiable if i wouldnt have seen it here. A huge thank you for all your efforts!!! Hats off to your guide and his endless knowledge!!!
It’s amazing that each and every part of the equipment had a person responsible for building it, such as the gears in the transmission or rear end plus the rest of what ever was being built at the time.
Today I’m sure most if not all is built with computerized equipment..
WOW
Visited this museum last fall on our way back from the national farm toy show. I would have never know it existed without your first video. I never knew that they had this stuff. Well worth the time to visit, even if you’re not interested in the tractor aspect the other exhibits are impressive.
It’s one of the better small town museums you will ever visit.
Dude knew his stuff.
Thanks for taking the time and sharing all the information.
Thank you so much for the tour around the museum archives, just amazing
Thank you for all your time and sharing. Enjoyed it very much!
Thanks
Ethan, great information on video looking forward to the rest. Thanks Michael
Cool stuff....thank you for documenting and sharing!
Thanks for watching
i must say, that is freaking insane, the amount of stuff, and just the history that's completely nuts
Thanks for the time and your effort
Thanks for watching
I am so glad you did this video. It is very entertaining
Thanks
Great job on the video! Very interesting!
Make me want go see
Good to see history
Keep up the awesome work 😀
Interesting! Great video Ethan 👍🏾
Good stuff Ethan!!!
Great video on your museum trip Ethan
Thanks.
Cant wait for those films to come out----
Wow, that’s incredible the amount of stuff they have. Pretty cool that they also have stuff saved from the Brantford plant as well. The Massey combine plant is still standing and used by other companies now. It’s on the south side of the railway tracks south of highway 401 off the Wayne Gretzky parkway. We were always told that when Massey first bought white combines they sent guys down to the Cockshutt plant to drive them back to be badged over to Masseys. You guys are lucky to have the Floyd County museum. We don’t have really anything preserving the history up here
Awesome!
Great video Ethan, that was a really cool trip!
Thanks
I was there last summer, amazing place.
Yep
Amazing...... Long video, but worth the watch. Thanks.
Thanks
That was an awesome video. So much appreciated and interesting. Thanks for sharing and I'll see you later.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing. Did not realize they had the blueprints. Guess I will be placing an order soon.
They don’t even know half of what they have yet.
Awesome video, I didn't know they had so many items in the basement. I will be calling n ordering more, I heard the name Dean 7 times, Like I said he is the man. Thanks for shareing!
Glad i know they got cockshutt. Going to start restoring my grandpas 560. They have owned it since new, want all the manuals for it.
They might not have anything that old.
We do have manuals for the Cockshutt 560! 👍
Dude,,no way you came out of the Holy Land without a armful of goodies saying "sorry,,I gotta have that".
What can you say but but wow that's amazing.
I have always wanted to visit this place. Some good stuff came out of Charles City-its nice they were able to get all of this stuff before the leveled the factory
Lucky it all came together before it got destroyed.
They found a great person for job
Awesome
Had no clue about the Iseki connection. That's cool to know they have the inspection report
Looks like it was a pretty good trip Farm Boy!
Yep
Every time I watch your videos Ethan I learn something new I have a minnie mo one row corn picker from grandfather now know where I can get any manual I need for it
Thanks' for the Information on the Movies! If you find out the approximate time they will be out please let everyone know. Thank you!
Just “Wow”
I actually passed bidding on a White Iseki because i didnt think id ever be able to find any information or records on them. Im happy to see im wrong
It’s good to know that they have Cockshutt things there. I know people that do not know about that and up here there’s a lot of old Cockshutt equipment around.
Thnx for the video.
Mostly post buyout cockshutt stuff. Not much from pre 63’. That’s the caveat.
The cab on the corporate tractor sorta reminds of a cab on a 2090 case
Thanks so much for sharing your trip. The dude in blue shirt cracks me up, he can really talk fast! Is Duane Starr still alive? Think he lives close to me in Lincoln NE. Should look him up if he is. He was the block man when my 2-105 was new in 75
He was last I knew.
does anyone know if there is a farmall equivalent to this. Would really like to get some more info on one of my tractors.
Hart Parr blueprints? Holy crap!!
I was going to ask if they had any MF stuff. I know MF was not under the umbrella back then but wondered since MF is apart of AGCO now. I would like to find info on our 165 we have had since 1997. That place is awesome. I want to visit that museum someday.
i'd like to find all the paper work & what not on my IH tractors.
Wow - I’m impresssed with these rooms full of archived items. Will definitely have to call them for my wish list. I wonder if they have factory tractor photos. And are they for purchase?
That’s where most of the pictures in the Wendel book came from.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy ahh I see. Glad to know.
Great video! Bet the CC bought the fuel for the ride home, all the cash was gone
This place could probably make pretty good money posting the old films on RUclips I’ve seen a lot of old promotional videos get a lot of views
I want to get sales brochures for the White 4 wheel drives.
Wow if only you could buy a copy of each one
Hey Ethan what is the test sled
I shared this video out. Thank you for taking the trip to heaven oops i mean iowa.
Thanks.
So,,,you were a kid in the proverbial candy store. Did you grab any information on what you currently own?
Do you know why it was referred to as the Corporate tractor?
Because it was a corporate r&d project.
They could start building olivers again tomorrow with all the blueprints and literature that has survived.. amazing stuff just there for future generations to reference from.. as an IH guy i wish a lot of this stuff survived the merger, 99% of that stuff is sitting in a landfill or was sent to the incinerator.
It hurts me as well as a JI Case Fan.
@rustyrelicsfarm2406 racine can still get you build cards for the old stuff at least if you ask.
@ryanredfarmerMN I also don't get why JI Case tractors are so hated. My Grandpa had lots of them on his farm and they have been great to him.
What was that test sled used for?
Testing tractors.
I was told back in the day Massey bought out white combines for there rotary
Yes.
I think I would get along with that guy.
He was a cool dude.
I wanna ask you some thing:
How Manny Oliver cletrac hg 42 from 1948 is still going in USA?
Here in north of Sweden we have Oliver OC 3 and this hg 42 in the forest. Most winter time to pick up wood and transport huge load of timber on huge old timber sledge.
And it's of course have steel trac as you have on the combine, not like a triangel, but normal straight steel tracs.
And thanks for you let us in in a historic building whit Oliver machine and all this paper and part list and god nows.
So thanks again/ Peter
You can’t throw a rock without hitting one.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy
(I think what you mean) of course! A littel rock can move bigger rocks more than you can belive.......
No I mean OC3’s are so common in the US that you can’t throw a rock without hitting one.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy
Okay! Now i understand better!
Oc 3 isn't so Manny here in Sweden! My dad work whit some OC 3s in forest when they snoowplowing road in the forest on 19 5o or 1955 .
But anyway ,thanks a lot for sharing your nice videos, and hope the machine you build , gonna work well.And hope you get a better season for farming.
Best regards from me Peter!👍👍
Dang I need some 1600 manuals.... wow....I dont know the publication number
Just call and tell them you need manuals for a 1600.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy Im going to thanks Ethan.....
I bet if they put a lot of that stuff on eBay they could move it.
Man Hoarders is a show that's disgusting yet addictive to watch.
i wander if these guys have a ebay store to sell stuff
No
Never seen a tractor nerd. But lucky the guy is into that, rather than comic books.😅
He has done pretty good getting everything organized.
Geez so will they sell you the build card for my specific 1750?
You get a photo copy of it. They retain all the original cards for the archive.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy cool good to know. Do you have yours?
Aspinwall made potato planter around the turn of the century i think
I would be no good as a volunteer LOL. I would read every piece of paper I came across and would get nothing done........
Work of love and dedication to save and organize all those manuals!
For sure.
Does the museum handle stuff for whites as well ? I'd love to have the info of my Fwa 2-135 I just recently picked up
Yes
