I love these old steam shows. I'm 58 years old and the older I get the more I enjoy it. I especially like those hit and miss engines . Sometimes nostalgia is a good thing.
Hi Pete, the Oliver 1855 is mine, with a 5.9 Cummins. I'm in the process of pulling the Over Under cooler to get it repaired, that's why the tin was off the one side. I know you are an IH man. My father bought a 1939 Mccormick Deering O 14, 406 were made. He bought it in 1966 from a local Case dealership. I then sold it the son of the dealership 35 years ago. I know have been trying to buy it back for the last 16 years. The son wants me to find another O 14 to trade with him. I see the son at that show every year and continue to try and persuade him to sell it back to me. It's a total basket case, but has great value to me. I really enjoy your farm content and restorations. Thank you, Rob.
The two man chainsaws are called a Maul. I worked for a elderly Swedish farmer while i was in my teens. He had two. You didn't tilt the engine. You shut it down, loosen the bolts, turned the blade,and tightened the bolts. I love the show season. Thank you Pete.
Well done, Pete. Thanks For taking us along. Good to see you get a bit of free time for yourself walking around doing what you wanna do… we all need that 👍👍👍
Pete, thanks for taking the time for me to say hi on your way out when i passed by you! You are just as pleasant in person as you are in all your videos! Great recap of the day and you definitely got out to your vehicle just in time! -Nic J.
A lot of great History in your video, Thanks for sharing, our local steam engine show is this weekend I’ll be there baling straw with a an old wire tie baler !! Hoping the rain stays away !!
Good morning Pete, thank you for taking us along with you to the show. I always love looking and learning about the ol’ days and equipment. The green Oliver tractors remind me of the green tractor from bob the builder. ❤☕️ blessed day and see you next time.
A fire tube boiler. My grandfather was a commercial fisherman on lake superior. One of his fish tugs had a Morse Fairbanks steam engine. It had a unique sound when it was running.
Thanks for the tour, Pete! I enjoy watching those old machines work. You realize that even with "mechanized muscle" how difficult it must have been, and yet the increase in productivity must have seemed amazing at the time.
Hey pete Great vidéo and farm show and i love this old school equipement and sound 14:13 Love this sound It's really a shame that it's being lost more and more in France by my home in Alsace, sometimes I've already been to Germany with friends and even as participants 15:58 beast tractor and sound old popping deere tractor
Thanks for taking me along, enjoy this kind of video. When I was a member of NATS ( National Association of Textile Supervisors), we would schedule a meet up at related business, always enjoyed seeing how other companies produced their products.
Thank you Pete (this is Ben in N.C.). Suzanne (my bride) and I hope to travel up your way this fall or winter. Don't worry, we'll visit you at the Farmers' Market. This would be an honor for us. Just to shake your hand. Suzanne and I are slowly going through all of your and Hilarie's videos. We spend a hour or two each evening watching your videos. It is very restful for us.
I always go to our steam engine/ tractor shows here in Michigan and love it. Thank you, Pete, for taking me along to one of your shows. Be safe, and God bless.
Great seeing these old machines in working order. I just came back from the Philippines where I was out in the countryside (they call it "the province") and they were cutting 2x8's with a long chainsaw, a chalk line and bare feet standing on the log.
My father and Stepfather were both members, supporters and volunteers of the Alexander steam association. The machinery came from the many industries in Western NY along with items used in the oil fields of PA.
Friday Orchard Tractor, built in Hartford Michigan. Designed to take apples from the orchard and go "from Grove to road" with some models achieving road speeds up to 60mph.
Thank you everything was so very interesting stuff I would have never seen I have seen a few things but some of them my goodness thank you for your Channel
The "Friday" and the "Case" beside it reminds me at the Mercedes-Benz "Renntransporter" from the mid 50's. When other cars drove 60 to 75 mph, the transporter brought racecars and parts to the tracks, if needed at 100 mph. Maybe the Renntransporter was a copy of the idea of these two tractors. :-)
On the Farmall Regulars with the ball bearing mains: Dad told me they had a lifetime warranty. In the mid-50's he had a 1935 or '36 F20 that sludged up one winter due to daily use but not worked hard enough to get the oil warm. The dealer replaced those ball bearings under warranty after 20+ years!
I was very happy you stopped to look at some W series tractors. Always really liked them, very rare where I’m from. Just bought a 44 W4, my first antique tractor
Hello Pete I'm an old farm boy from Central Iowa and we have a antique power show every year first weekend in August not as big as what you are showing and I enjoyed every moment Thanks for sharing another great video
Great to see you in our area Pete! We attend the WNY Gas and Steam Engine show every year! We were there on Saturday though. Hope you enjoyed your time here. 😊
My brother up in Prescot as a couple old hit & miss engines... I'd love to have one but I have no idea what I'd do with it. Love those shows! That old International truck was magnificent!
Thank you for showing the Minneapolis-Moline lineup. My great grandfather was a dealer and shop owner in the 50s and 60s so I have a special place in my heart for them,
That is a neat event, showing all the wonderful old machinery. I was tasked with overall boiler maintenance inspections of a company that used horizontal and vertical boilers, both for heat and steam processes and they were a real joy to watch them work and process. That boiler display was great to see, brought back some good memories! Thanks Pete, have a good day.
Love those old tractors and stuff , they have a great old tractor steam engine show here in NC called the Old Time Threshers reunion in Denton NC about 30 miles form me in July always but that is a far piece for yall enjoyed the video👍
Nice video, interesting stuff for sure! And yes I was pulling for the massey harris pulling. Although my father had Massey Ferguson...had a school mate whose Dad had a Massey Harris, my late wife's Dad had Cockshutt.
And here I thought you went to the show looking for inspiration and answers for the project you have with Henry and the International... It was fun to watch just the same.
Nice hair at 0:33 Pete. Holy smokes, lol That ship engine took me back. I served in the Coast Guard and our engines on the USCGC Reliance had 2 x Cooper-Bessemer Corporation FVBM-12 turbocharged diesel engines, Took up 2 full decks!
Thanks for sharing this video, Pete. Always interesting to watch farm equipment and really love those stationary engines. Reminds me of first time I went to the grain elevator with my Dad to sell a load of wheat (3/4 ton 1948 Chev truck, no hoist). The elevator man had to start the engine to load our wheat out of the pit. It was so amazing to watch him start that putt-putt engine. I don't know how big it was or the name, but it had two huge fly wheels and he got the piston over the hump by climbing up on one of the spokes and just with his body weight he got it past and fired the diesel fired. Had to be nimble not to get hurt.
The Canadiana was parked in port colborne, Ontario off the canal not far from where I grew up. It was meant to be restored as it was originally a ferry that operated between crystal beach ontario and buffalo new york. I believe someone ran out of money and it sat for years. I always thought it had been totally scrapped. I guess someone saved a piece of it and it ended up there somehow. Cool.
I went to the steam show in Hopewell NY. I'll never be back. The paths are very congested with golf carts to the point you're watching n waiting for them to pass to walk. It was beyond bad
What amazes me most about old machines is how the inventor and the manufacturer were able to figure out how they would be designed to work and fulfill their purpose 🤔
I really enjoyed this video! Nice to see you get away from your farm, and enjoy a da y with all that awsome old machinery. I live thru you for my love of everything mechanical, although I'm a little older, and have mobility issues which limit my chances of going to such events. Keep it up! Greetings from Ontario Canada just a few hours away.
That was quite the interesting collection of old machinery. Drachinifel here has a great series of videos on naval steam engines and boilers if that subject piques your interest in older machinery. Vertical Triple Expansion engines powered the Liberty Ships of WW2 even though they were an obsolescent engine type by that point. The designers used that engine type since all the gear cutting industrial capacity for geared turbines was dedicated to warship production.
thanks for taking us to the fair, Pete...it's years since I was at one just northwest of Maitland, where I watched an IH 806, like my farmer let me use in the fields in Hannon, win its class pull...I'd sure like to go to the Binbrook fall fair this year...see some old friends...go on, good guy!
Pete I'm glad you finally got the experience to Western New York Gaston steam show in Alexander that is where I go every year I went there this past Saturday in the rain held out for a little bit but thanks for showing us around
Hello from Australia, the sharpening machine was made to sharpen the knife's for a wood thicknessing machine but I've seen them used to sharpen the knife's for a hay bailer I believe it was an international 69
Back when they took pride in building stuff to last forever.I don’t see anything there from the 21st century that’s because it’s garbage. That was an incredible trip. Thanks for taking us along Pete.
Hey Pete, that old 1970 Loadstar 1600 is mine. Had it since 2015. Unfortunately it doesn't have the original engine anymore but it is still in d cent shape and gets shown every year. We drove it all over and use it to tow our camper to and from local events too.
Fabulous event - thank you for covering it. My dad's family started the Merrell Soule Company in the 1800s not far from where this even was, and dad described factories that had a power source that ran an overhead shaft - to drive all the machinery from different points. Dad said how dangerous this was, as people's hair or clothing could get caught - causing injury or death.
So glad to see this one, Pete! It's not too far from me, but I've never made it out there. I'm always on the watch for old machines made New York, even better right here in Buffalo. 🙂
Thanks Pete. As a retired engineer it was fun to see all those things I had never seen before. I think we could have been close friends as we have very similar interests. Both the mechanical as well as the farming. I love watching your channel... Thanks, Jim Robinson, Gorham, ME.
I love these old steam shows. I'm 58 years old and the older I get the more I enjoy it. I especially like those hit and miss engines . Sometimes nostalgia is a good thing.
I am 63 and I enjoy the old steam engines at the fair’s and field days,even the old tractors 🚜

Great video, as always, Pete. Old tractors and old engines. One can't argue with that combination.
The two man chainsaws are called a Maul. I worked for a elderly Swedish farmer while i was in my teens.

You shut it down, loosen the bolts, turned the blade,and tightened the bolts. I love the show season.

15:58 beast tractor and sound old popping deere tractor
Thanks for taking us along to the show Pete I enjoyed looking at the machinery of days gone by
Looks like a fun rally for the mechanically inclined
Thanks for taking me along, enjoy this kind of video. When I was a member of NATS ( National Association of Textile Supervisors), we would schedule a meet up at related business, always enjoyed seeing how other companies produced their products.
Very interesting in the variety of machines and ages of these. A lot of machines through the years.Thanks for taking us along.
Hi Pete I was the one starting the single cylinder yellow Fairbanks,hope you enjoyed the show would be great to see you next year
Thank you Pete (this is Ben in N.C.). Suzanne (my bride) and I hope to travel up your way this fall or winter. Don't worry, we'll visit you at the Farmers' Market. This would be an honor for us. Just to shake your hand. Suzanne and I are slowly going through all of your and Hilarie's videos. We spend a hour or two each evening watching your videos. It is very restful for us.
I hope the next generation keeps this going, hope we don't lose it. So fascinating , thanks Pete
Was a fun show ! It's just down the rd from us!
I always go to our steam engine/ tractor shows here in Michigan and love it. Thank you, Pete, for taking me along to one of your shows. Be safe, and God bless.

Those old steam engines are so beautiful when they are completely restored. That 1937 International truck sure would be a beauty to have.
Thanks for showing us around. that is so cool. I like seeing old tractors and equipments.
Thanks for taking us along Pete,really enjoyed it.
Hello Pete I'm an old farm boy from Central Iowa and we have a antique power show every year first weekend in August not as big as what you are showing and I enjoyed every moment Thanks for sharing another great video
Hey Pete! Really cool show. Thanks for sharing your day. I would love to have one of those real small tractors with the sickle bar mower.
At 6:25 I have a picture of my Dad driving a truck just like that. He worked at the Gypsum mine for about 5 Yrs.
great way to spend the day! thanks for bringing us along.
Got several Friday tractors on the family farm here in southwest Michigan.
They made lots of equipment.
Even cherry harvesters.
Great to see you in our area Pete! We attend the WNY Gas and Steam Engine show every year! We were there on Saturday though. Hope you enjoyed your time here. 😊
👍
My favorite vids from you are the auctions and shows. Love seeing the old stuff. Thanks Pete
What a great flashback. I grew up in western NY and my grandfather took me to this show every year as a kid. thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking us along!

The little tractor with single front wheel and sickle bar mower is very cool. I'd definitely mow the yard with that.
Hartford, Michigan is 10 mins away from me. Never knew they made tractors there back in the day.
That is a neat event, showing all the wonderful old machinery. I was tasked with overall boiler maintenance inspections of a company that used horizontal and vertical boilers, both for heat and steam processes and they were a real joy to watch them work and process.

Excellent Video Pete :) also nice Show and nice neat tractors to see plus more!
Old Fairbanks engines I've seen used for powering generators for municipals. Thanks for sharing.
Great coverage Pete. I felt like I was there with you. What a cool show. I'm only 4.hours away I'll have to go next year!
Thanks for taking us along. I enjoy seeing old equipment. Thanks
Nice hair at 0:33 Pete. Holy smokes, lol
That ship engine took me back. I served in the Coast Guard and our engines on the USCGC Reliance had 2 x Cooper-Bessemer Corporation FVBM-12 turbocharged diesel engines, Took up 2 full decks!

Really enjoyed this video. Your knowledge of tractors is amazing!

Great video. We may be thousands of miles apart but your shows are exactly the same as ours. Always great to look round. All the best 🇬🇧.
Very interesting video t there Pete like those old engines in steam engines don't get to see him too often very fun to see thanks for taking us there
Thank you, Pete, for taking us along. I really enjoy it. 👍👍

pretty cool. loved the walk down memory lane as a kid farming.
Great video, thanks for sharing, I love these shows. See you later.
Loved the show. Thanks for taking us along.
Would have liked to see the Miniapolise Moline with the Detroit 371 or 471 engine they were unstoppable
And sound a real beast in the tractor pull

Wow. One of your best shows.
It's amazing what kinds of BIG things manage to survive the years. Great video Pete. By the way my first grandchild Peter was born last week.
Glad you like the steam show in my area got to meet you in person love your videos
Thanks Pete. Love seeing the old stuff.
Loved the shots of the show.

WOOOO some steam engines today. That makes me VERY happy, thanks for sharing Pete
