To celebrate 1,000 shirts sold, we're leaving the "I hate head gaskets" t-shirt open for one last weekend! On top of that everyone gets a freak Koozie with their order 🤘

Right now well today i got a old manure spreder home Yes it was abandoned in a field my tractor was abandoned for 32years
Need? Tractor lights 👍👍👍👍🇱🇹🇱🇹 .
@@VaidasMeskuotis-yv4us the tractor is a Ferguson ted 20 1952 it was my Grandma s dads tractor
I also live and Iowa and there have been lots of tornadoes and storms
Too bad I couldn't get one, because you wouldn't answer my question as to why you won't ship shirts to Canada. I asked on your video's, I even asked in the contact us spot on your website and never got a response. Very unprofessional
YES THE FARMING SERIES IS BACK, the rains a comin’ and we gotta get the corn in
The rains they be comin'!
And if we don’t get the corn in… we’re gonna lose the shop…
@@lettuce984 yes that’s why we gotta get it in fast and quick
I agree but would love to see a convoy of abandoned tractors so you till and plant virtually behind each other.
@@chrisoakey9841I would love to see that as well, that’s American
my grandfather never had a license. drove an old oliver as a car all over the back roads of nova scotia. usually drunk back in the day apparently.
A true Canadian legend.
Hello from another Nova Scotian.
That's awesome!!
😂😂 I bet he had some stories about out running the fuzz!
@@muzicbarberbet he had to use ‘Oliver lol
Two items -
1) Oliver - the OTHER green tractor!
2) Y'all really need to learn how to use a crank. If that engine had backfired while the crank was turning downwards, it would spin the crank backwards REAL fast - and break whatever part of your body was pushing down on it at the moment. An apocryphal story (meaning, I heard it but can't find it in print) suggested that John Mack (of "Mack Trucks" fame) was killed by a crank; the engine backfired, the crank broke his arm and threw him on the ground under the crank, which then completed a second rotation and pegged him in the back of the head. Traditionally you only pull the crank upward, so if it backfires it yanks the crank out of your hand - and you cup your hand around it rather than putting your thumb around it, as then a backfiring crank will throw itself out of your hand instead of catching your thumb and mangling it. Sorta' like driving big old trucks across fields, you wrap your hands around the outside of the steering wheel and don't put your thumbs inside the spokes, as if you hit a rock the tire will wow to the side, the steering box will instantly spin the steering wheel at 45,000 rpm and the spokes will ruin whatever of your body parts they hit.
3) LOVE your stuff - MORE JUNKYARD MOOK!
I was thinking the same thing. I never used a crank but I heard the old timers talk about how many people got broken arms back in the day.
Some say Angus is still wandering around the field shouting “WET!” While throwing a crowbar about. 😂
Some say...
never clicked a video faster, my grandpa was an old farmer and loved his old john deeres, its nice to think of those memories again in the shop with him
same here! great to see the series back
Thumbnail alone got the thumbs up from me 😅
Me too😊😊😊😊😊
My gpa used plant that good good weed with his smoke for years
How old is he!??? If he’s your grandpa and he was an old farmer… Jesus he’s gotta be 245 with great great great grandchildren having children…
Kevin, check at 20:33, your hydraulic hose is blowing fluid at the tractor connection.
100%.... and dont forget to chop down that tree / shrub on the fenceline that messes with your corn planter....
@@Farang_Lifestyles And pull / burn out that stump in the middle of the lawn (so a car doesn't run over it)
And burn/incinerate the field and buy a new one
Eagle eyes over here.
We are now his agenda
Remember boys, a crooked row has got more corn in it, also if you get drunk and plant it all wonky, you gotta drink the same stuff so you know how to harvest it wonky
Oliver's were a tractor far ahead of their times. Lots of aftermarket support for parts and lots of good guys who are collectors to get information from. Don't loose the side shields. They're worth money.
50:03 Mook Spottage
Good luck on the cornage, guys.
I was wondering where she was hiding.
I was beginning to think we'd never see her again, I'm happy to see her in this
And she was even in costume, Ha! GO MOOK!
Great seeing you again. Miss the Mook!!!!
Just a sec or two of seeing Mook? Guess one has to count one's blessings, eh?
Hey JYD witching your first farming venture made me want to do farming ive just been made medically Discharged from the British army and im now a farmer and its the best decision ive ever made so thank you to everyone over at junk yard digs for helping me make the best move of my life love you all
Check back in about ten years from now; your feelings may change!
Thanks for you’re service vet :)
good luck on your farm am just retired from tillage farming and now concentrating on my cattle but miss the smell of fresh ground and hay (just not the brake downs and long hours) HAVE FUN from Oklahoma
Are you getting a Lamborghini tractor like Clarkson? Lol
"They no longer make zinc in oil."
Yes they do. Shell Rotella. It's got all the vitamins and dinosaurs that a growing flat tappet cam needs. I use 15w40 in all my stuff. If I lived somewhere cold, I'd use their 10w30.
Also Castrol GTX Classic. It’s only available in heavier viscosities but I’m sure that old iron wouldn’t mind.
@@GeekGinger In the UK we have Millers Pistoneeze 20w50 which comes with ZDDP, don't know if you can buy that in America though.
power driven diesel also has oil with heavy zinc additives in it, i run it in any performance diesel
Moses sandals!
The reason the hydraulics probably started working again. Was the transmission was probably full and it couldn't leak anymore. I had a John deer tractor
Angus in the background doing a field report was hilarious.
Wet! Wet. Wet....
That was my favorite part just him yelling WET after was perfect
I grew up on a 66 and 77 Oliver tractor. The 77 was a diesel and was my favorite. When dad quit farming, the 77 went to a collector, while the 66 went to my brothers,and is still used today.
Those side skirts over the engine were frequently removed and lost. Trying to find replacement ones are a big challenge
Or they got put in the shed and backed over!
@@Cougracer67I can attest to that one
Trust me the diesel parts are harder. In the middle of restoring a super 77 diesel costing me a fortune
Just to help them with the tractor information:
They were made from 1948-1954 and were part of the Fleetline series of Row-Crop tractors. There were 3 variants of this tractor; the row-crop, standard, and orchard. There were also 3 engine variants as well; these all being a Waukesha-Oliver 3.2L 6-cylinder either fuelled by gasoline, diesel, or LP Gas. The transmissions in these consisted of a 6-speed unsynchronised gear.
The tractor variant you have is the Row-Crop, indicated by the extremely faded decal on both sides of the tractor and the fact it has a tricycle chassis due to the way it sits.
It’s so cool seeing Old Iron doing field work, antique tractors are so cool !
I love that you make this so much harder on yourselves than it needs to be just for our entertainment.
I appreciate that.
Junkyard farming has become some of my favorite videos.
It's the place to be.......
Sweet! Wide front, fender extensions, and hydraulics! Somebody ordered all the options!!
Back in about 1980 dad picked up an Oliver 88, could have been a Super even, with the wide front end. It had a hydraulic loader/bucket which he then modified the bucket to take fork truck tines. He needed a fork truck to unload new motorcycle crates at the shop. And, being him, he thought this was better than just a fork truck because, without the tines, it could also be used to clear snow from the parking lot as well! I will say this. It never failed him.
His backup plan was an LP converted version he bought a little after the main one. But, it had the narrow front end, so not ideal for unloading crates. I never saw it run because the primary was always ready to go. We sold out of the motorcycle shop in the late 80's and the tractors went away as well.
The kick back on the crank handle can give you a nasty surprise!!!
Seeing angus hold it like he did was very unnerving
@@mildly_miffed_man1414 Amen to that
Kick back only happens if the timing is really off. Initial timing on these engines is 2-4 degrees BTDC at most. Inertia will take it past before the mixture can spark off. If your initial timing is excessively advanced then is when you can have dangerous kickback.
I know that feeling. Worked on a 1949 McCormick Farmall my senior year when I was taking auto mechanics tries to crank start and didn't know the timing was off and ended up dislocating my right shoulder when it kicked back
I enjoyed the smile on Kevin's face each time the Oliver started.
I can’t believe how many old tractors and farm equipment you pull out of the backyards.
Always a favourite at this time of year!
👏😂
Dude it’s Iowa everyone has old farm equipment lying around.
If you lived in the Midwest, you'd believe it. Tractors in Iowa are like Subarus in Oregon.
To be honest, the old farm stuff is why I subscribed. I just love it for some reason. Everything about it. The machinery, the jokes, how simple it is, learning a bit about fixing stuff. Everything.
Yes, please clean out and oil up that planter! Old equipment doesn't stand up to abuse too well. Love the farming series guys, keep it up!
My uncle restores Olivers for people. Love them.
Watch out for. Mr. Haney
" The handyman;s secret weapon" another Red Green refference...hello from Canada
I used to love watching Red Green on public television here in Texas. Good memories!
If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy ... Lol
Angus just continuously saying " WET!" "THAT'S WET" "WET!" in the background was killing me 😂
My grandparents farmed with 2 old Oliver tractors. The shocking part was they did upgrade to a John Deer combine a couple yrs before they retired from farming full time. Grandpa still played with the old equipment in a smaller field for several yrs after retiring, it kept him outta trouble.
Awesome video guys. 🚜🚜🚜
Hey, you guys need to understand not to fiddle with that crank-start like it's a wind up toy! Those cranks stick, especially rusty sitting tractors, and you're in the hospital with broken arms, jaws, ribs, or dead as the handle knocks around at engine rpm like a plane propeller. Proper cranking technique involves lifting while keeping all of your body out of the way. Charles Kettering invented the electric starter because of all the death and mayhem he saw from improper hand cranking.
The most important comment over all. I've had my 38 allis wc kick while cranking. Because of proper technique I was unharmed. The best way is to start at 10 o'clock and while out of the way, pull over with your hands open and only your fingers touching, no thumbs. If it kicks then your fingers can open and let the crank go when it wants. And you can be out of harms way
It’s a midwest thing. We do incredibly stupid things, such as going out on the porch to watch the tornado, going for a walk in the hail, sucking up gas with our mouth to siphon it, and do hand cracking wrong. It’s the Midwest way.
@@williamwertman24most of them have springs on them so when it starts it stops moving
Kettering was born a few minutes from my house
@ncaa12cfb92 that one doesn't however. Spring held were normally car or early crank designs before 1935. They do have a reverse ramp in the crank shaft pulley but that ramp doesn't always help.
Ross the Oliver Man would be proud of you guys. Well done 👏
Yes, he would!
I thought this was a Ross video by the thumbnail, when I clicked it.
23:35...I almost broke down laughing when I saw the limo sitting behind those trees...😂😂😂
I think I need the "Have a beer about it" t-shirt in my life. I had trouble with a ceiling fan installation this weekend and absolutely had to have a beer about it. It's working now, proving that the technique works.
Seeing that tractor brought back to life is heartwarming.
it was just sleeping
Being a man born in Fairfield and now living out east for decades; your videos bring me happiness and nostalgia. Thanks Kevin and crew, sincerely.
Same here born & raised in Waterloo now living in Arizona. love these videos!
I operated a 1978 Ford 231 gasoline tractor for non-farming purposes back in 1996-1997. It always started easily, ran smooth, and pulled strong. It was well maintained. The starter went bad on it, so I removed it and had it rebuilt in a few days at a local shop for a ridiculously low cost at the time, and reinstalled it with no issues except that the one starter bolt was a bear to reach. It ran very well year round here in western PA and I've often wondered what ever happened to it for many years. I hope she's still running and pulling strong somewhere.
When kevin started talking after the field report and can still hear angus in the back round yelling WET. thats wet. THATS WET. had me laughing out loud 😂
Loved the foreman Mook cameo 😂🍻
My son showed this video to me since my Dad had only Oliver tractors (because his brother-in-law sold only Oliver's & later White's). What my son didn't realize was that in the mid-70's, a 77 row crop without power steering is what I drove around the "neighborhood" before I got my driver's license. Thanks for the reminder of great memories!!!
Deers, Olivers, Allis -Chalmers, MC Farmalls, Ford N's, IH's, I love all tractors!😂
We have an Oliver 90 that my great grandfather bought new in 1947. It's a beast. Here in VA it spent most of its life using the pully to power a sawmill and combine. In your type of soil it should be able to pull a 7-furrow plow. So loved seeing the old Oliver doing what its was made to do.
Guys yall really need a plow. Discing alone isnt enough to break up the hardpan. Besides plowing is much more fun. You could host a small plowday for old tractors in the neighborhood.
Tillage is hard on the topsoil though.
No till is better
Ross the olver man would be proud of you with your oliver 77
LOVE the farm series! That Oliver might be my favorite tractor yet.
Man that Weedwolf is cool as a penguins doormat.
It's $1500 😮
Ooh! I hope you find more "obscure" models of farm equipment for this year!
Look for the 1923 clagson
One of the best videos you've ever released! I missed it badly since the last "can we farm with crap"-series. Great work, keep on planting and entertaining. "We gotta get the corn in!!!" I love it!! :D
Thus what I love about Kevin’s channel it’s always something different
OLIVER TRACTOR NO WAY!!! I love and know another about these tractors thx Kevin for the upload
Car tires will work for Tillage. Just needs the right rim size and overall diameter, and some Air Pressure inside. 22:58
Its amazing what all Oliver built, lol. Uncle had a tractor, dad had the big outboard (& a cub). Best friend started collecting old tractors, in Jr high, got a few Oliver's dirt cheap, they all ran well! Quality built machines... Thanx !
You and Mook and Angus are what America should be!🦅😀
I have a 1951 77 that was my grandpas, i still keep it running strong and try to fix any problem with it, and those with a wide front variant are very rare and sought after
Just a couple questions
1 Is there a phone on a pole
2 Do you hear a catchy tune in your head
3 Did it rain on ya
THE Rob Riggle?
Nope
The farming series... my fav! Gosh that ole Oliver surely did its job! Cool tractor, fun video!!! Mook's "Amateur!" LOL A+++++
Great you got your corn in! My husband just finished his 1k acres last week over here in Illinois. So glad you have Angus on the show. Who doesn't like a guy named Angus??? :)
Got my Olds head gasket shirt last week - with the coozy and stickers!!! Thanks so much guys - best channel on UA-cam!!! And it’s now my favorite shirt in my wardrobe. Plenty of comments, especially from old timer mechanics. Even people at the grocery store. Definite conversation starter! Love it!
Mook sighting at 50:00! We do need to get a new video on Junkyard Mook someday.
Been wondering where she disappeared to. And what happened to junkyard mook anyway
Lookin' a little larger in the belly?
Actually 50:06
@@privateer0561Might just be the overalls.
I’m thinking that Mook has retired from UA-cam
Just what i needed today. My friend passed away this morning and this helped take my mind off it.
That Weedwolf is actually a pretty good idea, I'm surprised no-one else has thought of it yet.
I'm so glad this has become an annual event. I wish you would do another Grand Prix Grand Prix sometime.
I'm so glad that they decided to do the farming videos again. They make me laugh and just remember the good ole days 💯.
Keep up the amazing work, love ya brotha 💯
If junkyard digs becomes profitable to hire an assistant, hire Angus, you two are a great pair! Great content!
Done!
One of my favorite channels putting a good old reliable Oliver to work again
Farmer Kev, Farmer Angus, and Farmer Mook all wearing Bibs and getting the corn into the fields ----- all is as it should be
Oliver. "Finest in farm machinery."
Watchin JYD while I eat supper and drinking a MUG root beer in a Junkyard Digs koozie! Go Junkyard Digs!!!! Oh, btw Kevin? Your channel is probably my favorite UA-cam channel I can think of! Keep it going y’all! Love from North Carolina!
A planting project well done!
We in SoCal. don’t get to see much of the details about discing fields, cultivating & planting. Thank you for sharing the process. A huge thanks to all farmers that do this type of work every season!
So happy you guys are ok, and that you were able to make another video. I hope the neighborhood is intact. I hope for an update on that.
Ahh greetings from the UK !!
See the notification and immediately downloaded to watch later, missed your farming antics and applaud you, mook and team for helping those in need last few weeks.
Just got my Have A Beer About it shirt in the mail. Thanks for the two surprise stickers Kevin Mook & Angus !!
@30:20 "thats your official wet field report from Angus"
some angus screaming in the background: "WET"
You guys are really getting the hang of that farming thing!
LOL Angus on that tiller was all over like a madwoman's piss!
These type of series are my absolute favourite.
Seeing that tractor brought back to life is heartwarming.
You guys are awesome, keep up the good work. Side note, if you haven’t crank started a tractor before, NEVER NEVER NEVER HOLD ON TO THE CRANK, flat palms with thumb on top and push the crank down. If the spring doesn’t kick the crank out when the tractor fires it will break your arms or pull you into the crank.
Red Green approves this video! 👍👍
I was waiting for this farming series. I enjoyed the first farming series. The appearance by Farmer Mook was a good surprise
That weedwolf attachment seems amazing! Thanks for sharing!!
The Oliver. Such a great tractor that company built. Hard to see how farming changed the machines so much that these sweethearts of agriculture were bested by other labels. I love them old 60 & 77 tractors. The crawlers and dozers for the small acreage. They definitely are genuine great experience to drive and reliable as a fine saddle. Smooth runners. I'm real pleased to see you trying it out and remembering the years I spent using those same ones without hydraulics. All ropes and mechanicals. Levers, bell cranks and linkages.😅
Crank it up engus should be on a t shirt lmao. Awesome
I have never laughed this much in a long time. Thank you Kevin and Angus.
Allways great to see old equipment still getting the job done.
There's nothing going on in Washington, that can (in any way) be more important than watching JUnk yard digs.
so happy to see this back!!!! and that oliver is sweet!
My favorite time of year, JunkyardDigs planting season
An de corn is knee high by the 4th of. July
I just love these farming videos! I would like to see a video about bailing hay with an old square bailer. I always wondered how those things worked. If they get one that is ratty enough, Im sure we could learn something from watching them fix on it.
I was definitely in the mood for a fresh agricultural JD Vid!
Nice! Olivers are my favorite!
We personally own an Oliver 77 gas, super 77 diesel and 770 gas so seeing this in the thumbnail was so cool!! Good ole Oliver’s.
Don't let this series end plz
That hand crank start with less than a half turn is just damn impressive. What a machine
i love how you decided to contemplate life for a moment there 😂27:10
Hell Yeah, glad to see a video but still praying everyone is well after the tornadoes
gizmo! You have to go inside the engine, you will find that it resembles an old 6 cylinder chevy engine. Simple and easy to work on!
Awesome video; I can't believe that you just found a vintage tractor sitting there and that it was able to both plough and plant a field of corn!
We used to call that the breaker bar cuz if you ain't careful well it says it all
Do they have another name?😂
We gotta get the corn in or we're gonna lose the farm!!! I LOVE THESE DESPERATE FARM OR DIE VIDEOS!!!! LOL!!!
Yes yes yes, farming series is back! Do keep this going every year please!
love to see the old tractors come back.thank you
Everyone loves a trimmed Bronco
