It's a Doc's Life
United States
Приєднався 24 тра 2021
Sharing my daily life. Old tractors, old cars, music, history, and learning about all kinds of new things. This is my attempt to capture my day-to-day as I try to be a better human being. Most of all, I just want to record some things for posterity. It's nice to look back. I hope you find something interesting.

A quick video on adjusting the rear drum brakes on a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. The process would be the same for most drum brakes, and I will at some point have a video with more details. This was a quick one.
Pay Attention to the Small Things - 11/10/24

Good morning, friends! Another beautiful and interestingly cloudy dawn greeted me this morning. The colors were spectacular. I am still spending some time with Booker T. Washington this morning. Wise words. “Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.”...

Good morning, friends! The day dawned cloudy and rainy so the sunrise was hidden. I caught this sunrise a couple of days ago and wanted to be sure I could share it. Once again I am visiting with Booker T. Washington today. Positive attitudes matter. “I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always ready to ex...

Good morning, friends! The clouds are moving fast today, but it is interestingly warm. A beautiful start to what will be an interesting day. I’m still spending some time with Booker T.

Washington May you be at your best, and have a great day! #...
Progress, Not Complaint - 11/4/24

Good morning, friends! It’s a windy start to the day and the maple tree outside our back door is quickly shedding the remaining leaves. Fall is moving along at a brisk clip. I love to study the life of Booker T. Washington. If you want to be inspired, you need look no further than him, his philosophy for living, and his example. He is quite a man. “An inch of progress is worth more than a yard ...

Good morning, friends! It’s another beautiful start to the day, and the week. Another quote this morning from my recent visit with Louis L’Amour. This from a story called Off the Mangrove Coast. “For all of life is divided into two parts: anticipation and memory, and if we remember richly, we must have lived richly.” How true! We spend so much time remembering and anticipating that we often fai...

Take Things by Their Smooth Handle 10/11/24
A guy had the numbers today and said it rained 12 inches the week before Helene, then 31 inches during the Hurricane and total numbers were over 40 inches all together.. Its unbelievable, get a lump in my throat every video I watch about it 💔🙏
That's not an o-ring seeping, it's the spool valve and the gasket has gone bad. It leaks oil on the alternator and fries it
Thanks. I wondered if that might be the case. I’ll have to take a look at it.
That battery tray is a pain 😭
Not too bad. I managed to get it sorted and all is well.
Thanks
You are welcome. Thanks for the comment.
Sir great video Next time you do this remove the 3 bolts that holds the ac compressor it is lot easier to remove the Alt.
Thanks for the tip. That makes sense, but I never even considered it. I hope there isn’t a next time!
Thank you
You are welcome. Hope this helped you.
Happy autumn!
Same to you!
Nice fog-effect
Thanks! I thought so as well.
Your Massey Ferguson is a little sweetie tractor. I have a 1954 TEA20 Ferguson. Great little tractor for my lifestyle block
Thanks for the comment! I love all of the older Fergies, and there aren't many that are as nimble as that 20. My 135's are much more so than the 50. Each has a strength, I suppose. More videos coming with my Massey-Fergusons soon! Have a great day.
We had 2 10ft BUSH HOG rotary cutters but swapped one for a 4 row JD vacuum planter. The one that we kept is behind a 1972 4020, and it gives it all it wants.....
I'm sure that 10ft mower works the tractor pretty hard. The Bush Hog brand and product changed mowing and cleaning up fields forever. I remember my grandpa never had a rotary cutter, but instead always clipped the pasture with the old John Deere sickle bar mower. Thanks for the comment! By the way, I have the "farming for fun" part down, but the "and profit" part seems to evade me. Have a great day!
@@DocsLife It was not always been rosy...... After about 5 years of going nowhere row cropping Cotton & Peanuts, we were prodded into hay by a Land owner.. and had the Courage and tenasity to leap into the unknown,,
@@farmingforfunandprofit940 mostly I find that if you want to succeed with something, you just have to take a risk and make it happen.
My grandpa has a 35 diesel I love that tractor so much
I have two 135’s and love them as well. How long has your grandpa owned the 35?
❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks much!
Good luck My grandfather had a fifty-two or three one of these but at that time it was called a Massy Harris 50.
Thank you. At one time they made a Ferguson, Massey Harris and Massey Ferguson, each the same basic tractor and sold at different dealerships, since dealers already existed for the separate companies and they wanted to expand the Massey Ferguson network. Interesting history, and fantastic tractors. I’ll be posting more videos on it.
Sweet!
Thanks!
