That's because there's only one! Jack McCabe from Ohio couldn't find a tractor with enough power to meet his farming needs, so in 1967 he built his own. Watch the story about Jack and him building his custom big farm tractor. Visit classictractorstv.com/about/ today for more Classic Tractor Fever!

This is my Grandpa! =)
I remember going out in the fields with him in this thing when I was super little.
Nice
A great American innovator!
I love it when farmer's solve their own problems instead of relying on engineers. This fellow is a generous for building his own tractor to serve his needs.
It takes big balls to drive a custom built tractor 45mph. Nice!
Since he was the one who built it I'm sure he was aware it could handle 45
I want to see it run 60
That fella was way ahead of the times back then. Simply awesome is what comes to mind
He is still ahead of his time, after all we still don’t have tractors with air compressors
@@holdendroog2518 60s russian tractors already had air compressors. I have mtz-50 and some of them had compressors. Mine does't, but it has Little cover under the cab on gearbox side, where compressor can be mounted.
@@holdendroog2518 my 1964 Wagner has a 220 Cummins and air brakes. So no he wasn’t ahead of his time haha. Still a cool tractor
Brilliant man, there are plenty of doctors that can’t change the tire on their $125,000 Mercedes
Doctors deserve that 120k plus mercedez....this old man dont deserve shit
@@kerrykaverga786 fuck you you SOB
@@kerrykaverga786 He had probably worked harder than doctors his whole life
@@gabetidyman2022 yeah probably
Both of my dad's brothers are doctors. For the oldest, this is certainly true.
The youngest has actually built a few tractors himself. He has also never bought a new vehicle for himself. He has bought new ones for his wife. He drives a 12yr old chevy that looks like a farm truck. He has built a few hotrods as well.
I'm not trying to be a smart alec. The comment just got me thinking about how some doctors are.
I was doing irrigation work at one of the biggest hospitals in my area. A coworker made a comment about an old Ford Taurus thay was parked in the directors parking spot.
It turned out that car actually did belong to the highest paid doctor at the hospital. Thay was his daily.
An OBGYN at the womans hospital drove a 60's model Unimog.
That thing just looks tough and the fact that it’s Homebuilt puts it off the charts on the “cool factor“!
Wonder where it is today 🤔
That is the coolest tractor i have ever seen, looks like a monster truck and a skid steer had a baby and it is beautiful
what an intelligent resourceful man. good for him
Good ole American ingenuity this guy is a real genius.
Well that is what you get when you have a farmer build his own tractor. Things are thought out much better when the hands on people get involved in the design and build. Very cool!
Great tractor. Great trigger finger discipline on the impact wrench.
That's pretty cool, especially the compressed air system. I run compressed air in my jeep and I can agree onboard air comes in handy
I love this guy! “ I think it’ll go 60”
I spent probably two hours talking to this fine man at the Miami Valley Steam Threshers Reunion in Plain City Ohio over the last weekend. Really wonderful man to sit and talk to. In that two hour conversation we farmed, and excavated, and mechanic'd, and fixed bridges, and I'm not real sure what all else. Given the opportunity, I'll do it again!
awesome☘ Matt paint job 🌿🌿🕊☘
Seems like this tractor became a template for some of the present day tractors
I think so
Tractors of that era were already available with cummins engines and air compressors. He's wrong on a few of his comments.
@@CurtisWithoutHandles I mean the layout of the heavier articulating tractors
That is super cool.still looks relevant and proper in todays world 50 some years later.Really dont see the current young generation thinking the way they did back then.Buy it,use it,abuse it,toss it aside mentality.This owner should be proud of this every day of his life.He made his own reward,and its pays it forward back to himself yearly.
skadill You got the trueist comment ever seen
Young generation? Everything's been going that way for years, and older people are just as guilty if not more. I for one am not of this mindset. I'd rather have some old antiquated "junk" than new crap. You look at my dad for instance, I try to fix things myself and rebuild rather than replace. Which is difficult since he is in charge and doesn't wanna take the time. Not realizing that the time spent is a LOT of time actually saved. I try to fix it myself, he takes it to the dealer. There are some of us who have some sense, and remember we learned from the previous generations. So maybe look in a mirror once in a while, just a thought.
skadill well I certainly wasn’t expecting to see you in this corner of UA-cam
Reminds me of Johnny Cash One Piece at a Time! LOL
One person’s crazy is another brilliant idea. You have to do what you have to do to get things done.
That beast must of looked awsome back in the day, looks good now but can you imagine 1960s old timers scratching their heads seeing it for the first time
SUPER COOL!
I saw the intake manifold on the engine when the video started and I instantly knew that it was a 855 Cummins:)
American ingenuity at its finest. Thanks for sharing.
I love it. It looks tough as nails and like others have already said it was a head of its time kind of like the Beatles and fits right in with what is being built today. Its just one of those things that when you look at it you know its special.
I like, a lot of farmers around the world made home made tractors, great job Jack.
Thank you for telling us this very interesting story, just love it. God bless you and your family
P
The Versatile 118 tractor in 1967 had a 6 cylinder Cummins engine.
That is nice, like it, the air hose and tools is awesome, thanks for the video
Love it dad and I made 3 tractors great job may God loves ya bless
I've seen a picture of it once. Couldn't believe it was selfmade, it looks pretty much like a commercially available machine.
Hats off to you good sir, very unique build
And not one of that Tractor Companies picked up on this build. Amazing guy, Awesome build.
Very good job. Thanks for sharing your story with us common folks.
Wow. One smart fella.
This gentleman is a pioneer.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Oh yeah that is awesome and that is what a true American it's all about
Great stuff.
THIS IS THE NICEST LOOKING HOMEBUILT I HAVE EVER SEEN!
AT THE ROLLAG STEAM AND ANTIQUE SHOW THEY HAD AN SHOW EMPHASIS ON HOME BUILT TRACTORS THIS YEAR!( 2018)
WAS REALLY GREAT SEEING ALL THE DESIGNS AND IDEAS!
My grandfather built his own tractor after coming home from ww2 out of a truck & gear reduction gear box. That was his main heavy tractor for over 30 years on his veg truck farm that he used cubs & 140’s to hoe with
Good job! God bless America!
This guy is a boss #respect
That man has True Grit.
There's a lot in it that reminds me of the Mercedes MB Trac tractors, like the equal-size wheels, air brakes, mid-mounted cab, etc.
totally agree with you
That beast will live on long after him
Hopefully he wrote the manual
It will be disassembled and buried alongside him.
Make Asylums Great Again • 10 years ago yep
Cool ahead of it's time.
Lukey Dukey AUS not really
Great job Jack, ... if you compare that to the Big Bud's, you were years ahead of your time.
That’s an awesome build way to go
Love it!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Outstanding!!
Awesome old tractor, you did a great job.
Awsome Machine, cool Guy ! 👍🚜
So cool
cool tractor
Awesome build.... Amazing man.....
That's awesome
Beautiful toy
Big Bad Boy ! Love this machine !
That’s an awesome tractor! Amazing he built it himself! But I believe that the Jcb fasttrac comes with air brakes standard
Budry 063 so does a fendt
Yes sir brakes are standard now. He built it in 1967 when it wasn't common
Back in the day when when farmers wanted something they built it themselves. Our farm is filled with homemade equipment from my grandpa that could never be built by factories today.
Simple perfection
Pretty cool!
I'd love to have that... that's a beauty of a work beast I'd put her to work that's for sure haha ..
Its just right......so damn right
You could have Ordered up a custom Stieger long before this was built lol
the ol 855 sounds pretty good
That is super cool. I love this kind of engineering. The machine looks like a beast.
Nice piece of machinery
Well done!
Sweet
And the best thing,
You can fix it your self ;)
And when big manufacturers came out with big 4wd tractors they acted as if they had broken the world record for innovation in design lol
That's awesome 👌
That is a great Idea!
very nice
A so cute its like a mini big bud
Pretty cool 😎
Big Tractor
Very nice.
Looks like this gentleman is not scared of a little wrenching.
Very nice job.
I like it
Bravo!
Very nice
Just off the top of my head the Wagner WA-17 was available in 1966 and was a lot bigger than 110 horsepower.
5020 john deere 142 pto hp....as well
68
American ingenuity!
You’re a genius you were ahead head of your time
Sweet🤗
We need this in farming simulator
My guy!
I hope he still works it!
Cool! The only change I would make is to move the exhaust off to the side, other than that 👍.
should see what kind of home made tractors we got here in australia
Looks like a beefed up Versatile 145.
Is this how versatile got the idea back then? I had a 145 versatile , It was a bare bones work horse.
That is fucking bad ass!
that things bad ass
I think JCB had their eye on this machine and because you didn't sell it to them they built the JCB FASTRAC.
GREAT TRACTOR
wow your not wrong the early generation fastrac looks like a knock off
Easy conversion from an Ag to a Construction machine? Flip the gears around and turn the seat 180 degrees. the rear of the tractor becomes the front. Could probably fit a bucket kit on there.
Cool job,glad to see that 180,220 is in a tractor they wasn't fit for trucks.Lots of tork no horse power.
