Benjamin, what a wonderful man your Grandfather is, and yet it is so nice of him to share his knowledge with the rest of us. >>>He is a walking, breathing, encyclopedia .>>>>I hope that Your Grandfather or yourself, could write his biography and memoirs of your great grandfather & grandfather Jack.
Thank you Jack for showing us your collection and sharing your stories. I took a tour of the Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska several years ago and I highly recommend it to anybody that enjoys old stuff and has 2 or 3 days to kill. My biggest piece of advice is wear comfortable shoes
This old man is very knowledgeable I learnt a lot by listening to him I'd love to sit down and hear this guy's stories he seems like a great hard working guy
I came and seen your collection. Very, very nice!! Jack is super amazing!! He told me some things I never knew. He knows a year model by the number amount of bolts in the front end. THANK YOU Mr. JACK 😁👍👍👍😊
I don't think there are many farmers that would get into a tractor that does not have AC and Heat in the winter. I think it is hard to find a full sized tractor with out a beautiful air conditioned cab and sirius radio to listen to right wing hate radio THESE ARE THE GOLDEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Thanks for all the eye candy......Jack is a talking history book! You could literally spend days looking at all of his collection! Top Shelf Stuff! 🤠
My aunt and uncle who are now both deceased, both retired from John Deere in Waterloo, IA. I was born and raised in waterloo, IA and remember when all the tractors were made there!
I could watch this all day! Wish you had more. You or he should make an inventory video on each with the story to go with. Would make excellent provenance along with the knowledge that he alone probably only knows. All that will die with him some day. Could even have updated museum someday with video kiosks with him telling the story of its use and how he obtained each tractor or JD item.
Those John Deere tractors are so awesome with diesel power and cutting the grass 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎💛
Very interesting,I could listen to him for hours,I’m 63 and grew up in Gettysburg on a cattle/fruit farm and used all jd equipment and we had two of them crawlers for hauling crates from the orchard to the coolers during picking season
That is really cool Brock! Back when I was in HS in the late 80's, we went to the National FFA convention in Kansas City. One of our stops was the John Deere Tractor Works in Waterloo. It was pretty new then and had cutting edge technology for the time. If memory serves, they could assemble different size and model tractors on the same line at the same time. The parts for each tractor would meet the tractor at the different stops on the assembly line. Was pretty cool! I thought I had some pics around here somewhere... Thanks for sharing! 🤠
Good morning, Brock. Incidentally, I knew who the third Gentleman was as soon as he came into frame. I told you that I was going to head straight over here. I have a friend that has collected several John Deere tractors over his lifetime and when I decided to hunt for one of my own a few years ago he was my go to guy for information. He's quite knowledgeable about them. I sent him the video and I just got a message that he is watching it right now. Thank you for another great video. God bless, and I'll check in tomorrow. 😊👍👍
Hey, thanks for spreading the video other people. I don’t know that much about them but I love the old tractors. Any old tractor is cool to me I need to start working on my Model A
“Hey Jack, how big of a Green fan are ya?” Well, he’s so green he doesn’t recognize a Farmall M tractor seat… hahaha. That is one sweet collection there!
Brock, thank you for the John Deere museum tour. It was great. Very well done and informative. As a guy living in Evanston IL, you want me to start farming😅, Vaughan jones
I just purchased my first antique tractor today.. not a John Deere I got a Fordson E27N and I’m currently 26 years old.. I hope by this man’s age I can have something similar to this man. Very impressive
Congratulations on your acquisition of the firdsin tractor . You do realize the large responsibility you now have to preserve the history of a very important man n his ideas to help his fellow man to relieve the burden of hard labor on the farm .! His name Henry Ford ! Sir I hope you are as passionate as I am about the importance of these men of America such as John Deere , Cyrus McCirmick , Henry Ford . I listen to my uncle's stories about the experiences N Jack
Very cool Brock, one of my favorite videos you have. We are all John Deere in my family and on the farm. My Grandpa Turnwald was in the John Deere Batalion B in World War 2, Battle of the Bulge under General Patton. Working with tanks.
Awesome video Brock. Coulda/shoulda made this a multi part series though. This man’s stories are as interesting as the the equipment. If not more. I wish I was there with ya. Your lucky to have visited with gentleman 👍
Yeah, he’s been collecting these for 70 years. The stories were great, but filming was kind of challenging. I’m glad I was able to put it on video and it will always be there
Corn sheller has a thing at the center of the flywheel to remove the kernels at the ends of the ear then run through the sheller for uniform seed corn.
When I lived near Waterloo, Iowa, my neighbor discovered his dad's old '34 A was one of the 12 hand built 34 A's that did the Nebraska state test and 'got lost' on the way back from Lincoln, Nebraska! Deere lost it for 68 years!
On the Waterloo Boy. Those are lubricating oil tanks on the fenders they have spigots to adjust the drip rate and pipes run down to drip oil on the final drive gears and not the gasoline starting tank which is the tank inside the left fender that you can see right after.
They don’t keep it open at all times. You contact the man that was in this video and he will give you a tour. I thought they had a website, but they really don’t. I think I put the contact information in the video description. It is Tractor jacks in Lamar, Missouri.
Are they restored or just old? I like both. If you just like the antiques when they aren’t restored I did a huge turkey barn full of formal tractors in this video Huge Antique Tractor Collection - So Much History ua-cam.com/video/db7FoS23gv4/v-deo.html
I remember when JD did the dealer reorganizing. Our local dealer sold, and then that dealer closed up. I hate it for all the other smaller dealers that went out of business because of that.
It's been said that God made the 4020, and gave them to JD to sell! Tough units for every job. For many, they were the first "big" tractor a farmer owned
The yellow jd in my videos is a 440D loader version of that 440 dozer. . Just the number of propane tractors in one place, is incredibly rare, let alone all the others.
I don't think there are many farmers that would get into a tractor that does not have AC and Heat in the winter. I think it is hard to find a full sized tractor with out a beautiful air conditioned cab and sirius radio to listen to right wing hate radio THESE ARE THE GOLDEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed seeing and hearing Jack (Junior) talk about the collection, but this was painful to watch. Jack Jr. was patient and polite, but Jack Sr. would have taken one look and sent Rockhill farm on down the road. I hate to have to watch some schlub with hands in pockets, sunglasses perched (for no reason) on his head, and Dad wandering in and out of the shot. He shouldn't be on screen. You ask a question and then- not listening to the answer- look to see if you're getting the shot. Have a bit of respect for your interviewee and at least pretend to listen. You displayed your ignorance at various stages. It's okay if you don't know, but other posters say Dad is knowledgeable. How 'bout a little research beforehand? Gee, I don't know, maybe a quick tour, a consultation, and THEN turn on the camera? I worked for the Purintons back in the 1980s. They deserve better.
We spent 2 hours talking to Jack about the tractors before turning the camera on. Even though I own a 1941 John Deere A, I know almost nothing about antique tractors. I think that’s why 200,000 people have subscribed to watch my videos, because I don’t pretend to be an expert on everything If I’m checking the camera instead of listening to the story, it’s because I already heard the same story an hour earlier and I want to make sure that the viewers can see and hear it so Jack doesn’t have to tell it a third time The Purintons were really happy With the video, and excited to get an audience of 50 thousand people to talk about their collection Of course, a negative comment on a social media post is the lowest possible form of human communication, so congratulations on being there I spent a full day making this video happen because I wanted people to see this collection, and I deserve better than some schlub rambling incoherently in the comments section
He never claimed to be a professional. I think he did a good job showing us the collection and allowed plenty of time for discussion of the objects with closeups. Don’t be so negative. If you want to make a video that does a better job then do it.
I’m fluent in redneck, but I don’t know how to translate it to ******* I guarantee that whatever part of the country you are from, the rest of the country thinks you talk funny

All
So would you like to buy my tractor?
This is my grandpa, thank you for sharing his stories. JD is his greatest love besides his wife. I love to see him so happy like this. Thank you
I was grateful for the tour
Benjamin, what a wonderful man your Grandfather is, and yet it is so nice of him to share his knowledge with the rest of us. >>>He is a walking, breathing, encyclopedia .>>>>I hope that Your Grandfather or yourself, could write his biography and memoirs of your great grandfather & grandfather Jack.
Your very fortunate to have such a wonderful grandfather.
Awesome story and such a great collection
What a great man and a great history and storyteller! Awesome video! Thank you, Jack, for keeping history alive.
Thank you Jack for showing us your collection and sharing your stories. I took a tour of the Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska several years ago and I highly recommend it to anybody that enjoys old stuff and has 2 or 3 days to kill. My biggest piece of advice is wear comfortable shoes
After all of the many videos of yours I have watched, I rank this one as number one! Thanks, Brock! 👍👍👍
Thanks. I really enjoyed touring the museum and interviewing Jack.
Thanks so much for taking us along on this trip! So much to see. Jack is a national treasure himself. Excellent job !!!
This old man is very knowledgeable I learnt a lot by listening to him I'd love to sit down and hear this guy's stories he seems like a great hard working guy
Love to see all this JD Green and Yellow in one place! Quite a passion for some great tractors and equipment!
Amazing collection
I came and seen your collection. Very, very nice!! Jack is super amazing!! He told me some things I never knew. He knows a year model by the number amount of bolts in the front end. THANK YOU Mr. JACK 😁👍👍👍😊
What a treasure, grew up using some of that equipment. Many thanks for that video.
Thanks a lot for taking us along! Jack seems like a great guy and I would hang out with him in that museum for days!
I'll admit it. The olden days were truly the golden days.
I don't think there are many farmers that would get into a tractor that does not have AC and Heat in the winter. I think it is hard to find a full sized tractor with out a beautiful air conditioned cab and sirius radio to listen to right wing hate radio THESE ARE THE GOLDEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!
Thanks for all the eye candy......Jack is a talking history book!
You could literally spend days looking at all of his collection!
Top Shelf Stuff! 🤠
Great content here Brock. The backstories on all those old John Deere tractors are priceless.
Sure enjoying seeing Jack's collection. Traveled to NewZealand with him on farm tour. He's a great guy!
Thanks for sharing the story. I enjoyed getting to hear some of his stories as we looked at the tractors
Beautiful collection
Wow Brock amazing collection and a lot of history there. That had to be a treat to walk around with Jack
There is heaven on earth. Long live John Deere Nation. Thanks for sharing.
That was fascinating. What a collection of equipment AND stories.
That was so interesting. Thank you for taking us along on that tour!
My aunt and uncle who are now both deceased, both retired from John Deere in Waterloo, IA. I was born and raised in waterloo, IA and remember when all the tractors were made there!
Nice bunch of tractors. Thanks for creating and posting the video.
Thanks
Brock it sure is cool you get to go do that with your pop that’s the type of things you’ll always remember! Do it every chance you get!
Definitely
hi what a nice walk around , john
i used those corn shellers in the 60's as a child! we also used them for popcorn.
Such a cool place, I'd get lost in there for days! Thanks so much for taking us along.
Yeah, I was there for four hours or more. Could’ve done multiple videos or a really really long one.
I could watch this all day! Wish you had more. You or he should make an inventory video on each with the story to go with. Would make excellent provenance along with the knowledge that he alone probably only knows. All that will die with him some day. Could even have updated museum someday with video kiosks with him telling the story of its use and how he obtained each tractor or JD item.
Great idea
Thanks for sharing!
Jack is a living piece of history
Wow. Amazing.
Those John Deere tractors are so awesome with diesel power and cutting the grass 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎💛
Very interesting,I could listen to him for hours,I’m 63 and grew up in Gettysburg on a cattle/fruit farm and used all jd equipment and we had two of them crawlers for hauling crates from the orchard to the coolers during picking season
Fascinating stuff this, would love to go and spend a few hours looking around all this classic equipment!
I love old tractors. Great video Brock. Keep them coming.
Great review and kudos to Jack for keeping this history!
Truly amazing collection
This is a great video. When I was a boy I ran some of these.
That is really cool Brock! Back when I was in HS in the late 80's, we went to the National FFA convention in Kansas City. One of our stops was the John Deere Tractor Works in Waterloo. It was pretty new then and had cutting edge technology for the time. If memory serves, they could assemble different size and model tractors on the same line at the same time.

awesome vid, fun to watch👍
Awesome, thank you 👍
Great video enjoyed it very much.
That was a nice vidio, I really injoyed it.
A young man at our small school just restored a Waterloo boy and has won several prizes, including 1st at Fort Worth Stock Show tractor division.
Good morning, Brock. Incidentally, I knew who the third Gentleman was as soon as he came into frame. I told you that I was going to head straight over here.

Wow Jack, my late father David Hiscock would’ve loved to meet you,
Very cool video and collection!
That is an absolutely amazing collection!
Yes it is. We didn’t even have time to cover half of what makes his Collection special
Thinking I’ll try to make it back over there a second time
“Hey Jack, how big of a Green fan are ya?” Well, he’s so green he doesn’t recognize a Farmall M tractor seat… hahaha.
That is one sweet collection there!
Jack is a history book of John deere
Yes he is
Brock, thank you for the John Deere museum tour. It was great. Very well done and informative. As a guy living in Evanston IL, you want me to start farming😅, Vaughan jones
I'm in LOVE with this mans collection... wootwoot...
"Oh Deere, it's a John" ...hhahahaha
That was really neat, Brock. Appreciate it!
Thanks
Great video. I have a 1970 John Deere 140H3 garden tractor. It’s a working tractor thou.
He restored them all
we have a 1964 John Deere 4020 that is power shift that someone installed a turbo on before we bought and we love the tractor
I just purchased my first antique tractor today.. not a John Deere I got a Fordson E27N and I’m currently 26 years old.. I hope by this man’s age I can have something similar to this man. Very impressive
Congrats on the new machine
I love the old tractors

Every collection had to start somewhere. Usually with the acquisition of one. Congratulations and hope to see your collection someday on UA-cam.
Great video. I know its all about deere, but i wish you would have shown that little g allis you were working around
É super interessante assistir e ver essa essa fabulosa coleção de maquinários agrícolas da Jonh Deer! Do Brasil,as 19:36,em 05/02/24🇧🇷🙌
Very cool Brock, one of my favorite videos you have. We are all John Deere in my family and on the farm. My Grandpa Turnwald was in the John Deere Batalion B in World War 2, Battle of the Bulge under General Patton. Working with tanks.
Thanks for sharing. So much respect
My father worked at John Deere 7 story building for 39 years.
Awesome video Brock. Coulda/shoulda made this a multi part series though. This man’s stories are as interesting as the the equipment. If not more. I wish I was there with ya. Your lucky to have visited with gentleman 👍
Yeah, he’s been collecting these for 70 years. The stories were great, but filming was kind of challenging.
I’m glad I was able to put it on video and it will always be there
I live in NW Indiana and within 45 miles I have 2 of the only 1 owner JD dealers that I know of.
I got a 1937 jd A #5 off the line that year
Easy rider seat . Very common in the 40's
Chain steering was known as aim and pray
Corn sheller has a thing at the center of the flywheel to remove the kernels at the ends of the ear then run through the sheller for uniform seed corn.
When I lived near Waterloo, Iowa, my neighbor discovered his dad's old '34 A was one of the 12 hand built 34 A's that did the Nebraska state test and 'got lost' on the way back from Lincoln, Nebraska! Deere lost it for 68 years!
Neat story
On the Waterloo Boy. Those are lubricating oil tanks on the fenders they have spigots to adjust the drip rate and pipes run down to drip oil on the final drive gears and not the gasoline starting tank which is the tank inside the left fender that you can see right after.
You mentioned you would post a link to their website. I'd love to visit his collection. It is open to the public for viewings?
They don’t keep it open at all times. You contact the man that was in this video and he will give you a tour.
I thought they had a website, but they really don’t. I think I put the contact information in the video description. It is Tractor jacks in Lamar, Missouri.
My uncles got you beat. Hes got 160+ Allis Chalmers tractors.
Are they restored or just old? I like both.
If you just like the antiques when they aren’t restored I did a huge turkey barn full of formal tractors in this video
Huge Antique Tractor Collection - So Much History
ua-cam.com/video/db7FoS23gv4/v-deo.html
Where is this located this is the coolest thing I'm a huge John deere fan and would love to see it for myself
Lamar Missouri
Somehow I can’t find where this is ?
I remember when JD did the dealer reorganizing. Our local dealer sold, and then that dealer closed up. I hate it for all the other smaller dealers that went out of business because of that.
Notice the influence of clocks on the Waterloo Boy Tractor.
i look up to you, i hope one day to be a strong man of Christ like you are :)
Thank you for the kind words. I am nobody special but I appreciate you following along
It's been said that God made the 4020, and gave them to JD to sell! Tough units for every job. For many, they were the first "big" tractor a farmer owned
Where is this museum located
Lamar Mo
The yellow jd in my videos is a 440D loader version of that 440 dozer.
.
Just the number of propane tractors in one place, is incredibly rare, let alone all the others.
Hey Brock, where exactly is Jack located?
$1,050 in 1918 would be purchase price of $21,330 today.
Massey Harris had a seat just like that
I looked up for inflation $1000.00 in 1918 would be the equivalent of around $20,000.00 today.
Hey i got a 1940 something john deere D wanna buy it?
I wish you could have done more tractors and less stories.
I have had 5: 430 crawler, H, 1010 gas, 2040, 2720.
YOU. FALED TO MENTION. THAT THE. GAS. STARTED THE WATERLOU ENGINE THEN SWITCHED TO RUN ON THE CAROSENE. BUT GOOD VIDEO.
I hate when restirerex por the 2cyl number decals on wrong
Nothing breaks down 👇 like a Deer
And I thought he’s gonna know something but the first Row crop tractor was a GPWT
I don't think there are many farmers that would get into a tractor that does not have AC and Heat in the winter. I think it is hard to find a full sized tractor with out a beautiful air conditioned cab and sirius radio to listen to right wing hate radio THESE ARE THE GOLDEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take your woke stupidity somewhere else...we're all full up here.
I enjoyed seeing and hearing Jack (Junior) talk about the collection, but this was painful to watch. Jack Jr. was patient and polite, but Jack Sr. would have taken one look and sent Rockhill farm on down the road.
I hate to have to watch some schlub with hands in pockets, sunglasses perched (for no reason) on his head, and Dad wandering in and out of the shot. He shouldn't be on screen. You ask a question and then- not listening to the answer- look to see if you're getting the shot. Have a bit of respect for your interviewee and at least pretend to listen.
You displayed your ignorance at various stages. It's okay if you don't know, but other posters say Dad is knowledgeable. How 'bout a little research beforehand? Gee, I don't know, maybe a quick tour, a consultation, and THEN turn on the camera?
I worked for the Purintons back in the 1980s. They deserve better.
We spent 2 hours talking to Jack about the tractors before turning the camera on.
Even though I own a 1941 John Deere A, I know almost nothing about antique tractors. I think that’s why 200,000 people have subscribed to watch my videos, because I don’t pretend to be an expert on everything
If I’m checking the camera instead of listening to the story, it’s because I already heard the same story an hour earlier and I want to make sure that the viewers can see and hear it so Jack doesn’t have to tell it a third time
The Purintons were really happy With the video, and excited to get an audience of 50 thousand people to talk about their collection
Of course, a negative comment on a social media post is the lowest possible form of human communication, so congratulations on being there
I spent a full day making this video happen because I wanted people to see this collection, and I deserve better than some schlub rambling incoherently in the comments section
He never claimed to be a professional. I think he did a good job showing us the collection and allowed plenty of time for discussion of the objects with closeups. Don’t be so negative. If you want to make a video that does a better job then do it.
Si no es un john deere no es nada
I keep hearing about these poor farmers... lmao
What's a turrrr? 😋
