    This series has been more entertaining than any television show I've seen in the last 5 years. Thank you so much for sharing. I'll never rebuild a tractor, but I have enjoyed learning the history, mechanics, and process watching you restore the Super C.

    To be honest, your tractor restoration videos are my favorite. I love your attention to detail, and at the same time, not perfection, to some others. Your restorations are perfect for you and I love them. Thanks, as always Pete.

    Painting the underside prevents rust too, from condensation. My father, a diesel and auto mechanic, took the chrome bumpers off his brand new Chevy in 1966 and coated the backs with Rustoleum. 57 years later...no rust, no pitting, just beautiful chrome bumpers. Thank you for these videos Pete. May God bless you and your beautiful family, at Christmas and always

    The next tractor you do could you show yourself cleaning the paint and rust off the sheet metal? I think it would be neat to see the process you do to clean the metal up.

    Sir when you tire of the farming life, you know you got a job in antique tractor restoration.

    Finally, something we disagreed on . I love the clickety- clap sound. I still put the can on top. I totally get the radiator screen to . My first one I work on for days. Looked perfect. But looking from the side . You could see everything that you couldn’t! Everyone has there little things. But I sure love your videos. Your family are so sweet. Your channel is my number one favorite. Thanks

    All the prep work is what separates the pros from the quickies. Anyone can slap new lipstick on a pig but a takes a true craftsman to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. I love the tutorials and am just about to pull the trigger on my own restoration. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

    I enjoyed watching you do the bodywork on the tractor. I don't think people who've never done it don't understand the importance of the human touch when it comes to funding all the high and low spots you have to feel for. Sometimes the eye can deceive but touch never does.
    The Super C is starting to look amazing 👏 👏👏👏

    How good was this video? well before I watched it I went out and made a nice mug of Chicken soup, got few crackers. got a fresh cup of coffee, came back in laid all my goodies out, got comfy in the shack (I'm a Amateur Radio op so spend all my retirement in the "Radio Shack" swivel chair and all. then say back and had the time of my life watching and savoring every moment of this video. you sir! are beyond praise!. I'm pushing 80 so no more rebuilding anything for me. If I can't lift it and put it on the bendh it doesn't get done. so small pro-jects is the name of the game for me. so I live vicariously through oyu Pete. thank you so so much for taking the time to make an old man like me so happy.

    My dads Super C was the first tractor i drove when i was 5 yrs old, he bought it new in like 1954 i think, nice restoration job 👍 i cleaned & painted my dads with a paintbrush , & put new stickers on it, it actually turned out pretty good, done that like 38 yrs ago ... you could go out there to this day & it will start rite up ... we pulled big chopper wagon loads of silage with that little tractor all the time , it would pull it in 4th gear as long as you were on level ground .. my dad backed in several loads of hay & straw in with one hooked behind the other one several times with that little tractor , good little work horses ...
