An 85 year old tractor that hasn’t been started for a year ….. kicks over on the fourth easy turn. What a well maintained and mechanically sound machine. Well done Pete. (Wow - a fancy dress field day … 😂)
As a software dev do I need to know the intricacies of a tractor more than twice my age? No. Do I feel more complete with this knowledge? Yes. Cheers for the video 😊
“There’s no replacement for displacement” has to be one of my favorite things you have said that made me chuckle. I can’t explain why, but I thoroughly enjoy your style of comedy
I bought a little genius plow from a guy. He had his grandfather’s F20. He showed me the bill of sale. $800 and 2 horses. He purchased it from a dealer in Ramsey, Illinois. He still has the cotton umbrella with the dealer name on it.
I love watching you and Hilarie, I also love your bad jokes and all the silly things that you do. Gives me a laugh for the day. Thank you, Pete and Hilarie.
Pete, I noticed two abilities you have that you should be very proud of. 1. The excellent job you did rebuilding that beautiful tractor. 2. The ability to grow a nice head of hair while taking said tractor for a spin to blow the cobwebs out. Congrats!
It's always impressive at how quickly those old tractors of yours start after sitting for so long. ETA - and the bit of comedy right at the end. Pure gold.
Yeah, the horsepower to dirt/ dust ratio sky rockets once the this beast of a tractor is cleaned and detailed. Beautiful machine. Great video to wake up to while enjoying some coffee.
I live a suburb of a New England city and have never been on a tractor or worked on engines. But I LOVED this video. Your commentary on the architecture, function and maintenance of this nearly century-old tractor was fascinating, with history as well as engineering. This is a machine you work with in all its parts, made so farmers could keep it running on the fuel they could get and use it for a range of farm tasks over the seasons. Unlike the computerized cars on the highways today, where the engine function is sort of a black box and it’s assumed most owners will have work done by a mechanic, this old tractor’s needs are for the farmer to do. I continue to be amazed at all the things you must know to keep a farm like yours running. You add to the list by restoring and using old tractors and gear, but not so long ago, most farmers would have had to use those tractors and keep them running. And before that, when draft animals were used, there would have been another long list. It strikes me that the transition from draft animals to early tractors must have been really hard for farmers. It can’t have been easy for salesmen to convince them to make this change and to educate them on how to maintain the equipment.
Can't wait to see you plowing. I was hoping that's what this video was. Thanks, Pete. I love the f20 wish I could have done one for my grandfather before he passed would have made him really smile!
You almost got me with that hair... LoL LoL 😅 I thought I was watching a younger you for a minute! So much fun, never a dull moment with you ❤️❤️ Thanks for being you!!!! 😁
I'm starting to see older tractors for sale on marketplace and roadside farms. Young Bucks looking to work some ground on a thin dime get a head start if the stumble into this room. Thanks for preserving the operational knowledge of these old tractors, Pete. Nice hat!
Great video! I love Petes sense of humor, reminds me of my husband. No warning ⚠️ just a giant wig, no mention of it, and you thought we wouldn't notice Pete LOL 😂 God bless you all
Never had a hard time starting the old 1938 F-20. I always used gasoline in our tank as someone before us changed out the tank. I did keep the shutters when I rebuilt the tractor and dad was very happy. Our F-20 had the rims turned around to point out. Here in western Massachusetts these were mostly used for row crop tractors. Our front rims were identical to yours, but the rear rims used to be steel and someone before us had rubber mounting rims installed. You sir, have a very nice 1939
Thank you, Pete! I've sent a message to all the kids to be sure and watch. We're dealing with unprecedented devastation from the hurricane here in Upstate SC. It's hard on the kids being out of their routine, too. This will help them, especially the WIG!
Its a great Sunday morning when ya can wake up and watch a great video from your favorite UA-cam Channel JUST A FEW ACRES GOD BLESS AND have a great day at the plow day event!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀
I enjoyed your comments about listening to the sound of the tractor as you went up the hills. It is important to be able to hear the sounds of the engine. My daughter has a high frequency hearing loss and every once and awhile I would ride along with her in her truck. I would hear things that she could not hear even with hearing aids. So I would tell her to get that sound look into. It is a great thing to be able to hear those changes in the engine and other things. Thanks for the video! I always enjoy your sense of humor!
Reminds me of taking my horse out for the 1st ride in the spring after being in winter pasture. Put her thru her paces, remind her how to work together 😁
As always Another great video. Love watching everything you do on the farm. Brings back lots of memories when I lived on a farm when I was young. Can't wait too see the plowing video! God Bless.
I'm not sure my father taught me that starting, or even if he knew. Although I sold his 1938 F-20 I rebuilt for him a few years later, I still enjoy listening to that sound of the F-20 running!!
My compliments Pete! Your tractors are a work of art. Love it. You are a masterful rebuilder. Your videos are awesome. Love hearing the old tractors run and I can tell its one of your passions. Thank you.
I just know "plow day" will be so much fun . Actually I think it's fun watching you walk through the pasture seeing the shadow of you AND your GoPro as you walk along. Can't wait for plow day!
I’m always impressed by the rugged engineering on those earlier generations of Farmall tractors. The history of the development of tractor technology is super fascinating and the cut throat shady industry that propelled it.
I had to laugh when I saw the wig 😂😂😂😂. The old tractor is looking and sounding great. I hope it all goes well and you are having fun. Thanks for the video, and I'll see you later.
I am amazed at your knowledge of mechanics and your ability to restore such old machinery. To be honest, I have no idea what you're talking about, but those tractors sure are beautiful.
I remember, in my teens, back in te 60s, a farmer down the road had a couple f20s, and his kids used to flog them almost to death. I wonder if they are still alive..... more memories, thanks Pete.
I am always astounded by the technical savvy and expertise in the design of old engines. Always. The designers and engineers were brilliant. And the love you have for maintaining and using your equipment would make those "ancient" design engineers very pleased. WOW! Farm boy Pete does "donuts" in the farm yard! Gotta' love those wheel brakes. Is that head warmer going to show up on chilly days this coming winter? It really says PETE in a very PETE way.
LOLOL!!! Yep, I laughed out loud. Oh my. Anyway, I just love how you explain the ins and outs of your tractors. Your mechanical knowledge is obviously vast. I am learning so much. Not the least is how important it is to keep everything properly oiled. Thank you!
Good morning Pete She,s a fine looking rig, that was a very well put together video on starting procedure and service Have fun on plough days have a gr8t day be safe
I spit my coffee when the wig came out I didn't expect that
Same 😂
Ditto
With that wig, it looked like he’s ready to bake some cookies
Pete cracks me up!
Me too!
Nice to see the cat sleeping on your head at the end of the video 😂
An 85 year old tractor that hasn’t been started for a year ….. kicks over on the fourth easy turn. What a well maintained and mechanically sound machine. Well done Pete.
(Wow - a fancy dress field day … 😂)
Non ethanol gas helps also.
@@Boxbirder Yup, ethanol gas causes more problems, particularly with carburetors, than most people realize.
It’s like the old Fords. They don’t build them like that anymore.
HAIR TODAY ... Gone Tomorrow !🤣
The man sure knows and loves his tractors 😊
all ways nice to get a Just a Few Acres Farm Video
Yeah... my Dad would say - "A clean tractor is a happy tractor." So... there is that... lol.
Something was different….. I can’t quite figure it out….. good to see your hair club for men is working
Thanks for taking a moment to explain the starting process for the F-20...interesting series of events before you even crank .
As a software dev do I need to know the intricacies of a tractor more than twice my age?
No.
Do I feel more complete with this knowledge?
Yes.
Cheers for the video 😊
“There’s no replacement for displacement” has to be one of my favorite things you have said that made me chuckle. I can’t explain why, but I thoroughly enjoy your style of comedy
He also said it can run and charge the battery.
A clean tractor is critical for peak aerodynamic performance.
Pete - that last drive really put a youthful flow to your hair 👍
Who else loves this channel? Its the flower in a field of cactus.😊
Dont ever change, Pete. You are hilarious!
I bought a little genius plow from a guy. He had his grandfather’s F20. He showed me the bill of sale. $800 and 2 horses. He purchased it from a dealer in Ramsey, Illinois. He still has the cotton umbrella with the dealer name on it.
I doubt those trade-in horses are still in operable shape! And THEY NEVER came with a dealer advertisement umbrella.
@@348Tobico that might be so but it was on the invoice.
The F-20 is the Fountain of Youth...!! Makes you look 20 years younger when it's running right...🤣🤣
I love watching you and Hilarie, I also love your bad jokes and all the silly things that you do. Gives me a laugh for the day. Thank you, Pete and Hilarie.
I ask myself why I love this channel….it’s the calming effect it has over me…
Elvis has left the building!
Good morning from Texas! Pete’s videos are so satisfying… soothing even 👍👍
Pete, I noticed two abilities you have that you should be very proud of. 1. The excellent job you did rebuilding that beautiful tractor. 2. The ability to grow a nice head of hair while taking said tractor for a spin to blow the cobwebs out. Congrats!
Nice way to put some wind in the "HAIR"!!
It's always impressive at how quickly those old tractors of yours start after sitting for so long. ETA - and the bit of comedy right at the end. Pure gold.
Beautifully restored old equipment that runs like a top! Pete I can't thank you enough for these videos!
That tractor is beautiful. You must be so pleased with the outcome of your hard work. Hope you enjoyed the plowing competition
Pete another great video. Enjoyed watching while having my coffee this morning. Have a great rest of your Sunday.
I'm married to a farmer and he has the blue tractors (New Holland) but he has the exact same shoes as you do, Pete!
When my kids were grown, I told them the secret to being an adult was that there’s no such thing as being an adult. Cheers 😂
Yeah, the horsepower to dirt/ dust ratio sky rockets once the this beast of a tractor is cleaned and detailed. Beautiful machine. Great video to wake up to while enjoying some coffee.
Coffee out the nose sucks on a Sunday. That old tractor runs like a 29 jewel Bulova drilled out for 3 extra jewels.
Doesn't it give you a real sense of pride when you start it so easily? Love it.

Oh the beauty in watching the cows playfully follow you Pete! 💕 🐄
I love old Tractors so this is my favorite episode now.
I got a good chuckle. The wash. The donuts and the wig😂Thanks for the great content.
Pete, Did you realize that you had a dead beaver on you head in that last shot? LOL
I laughed even harder after I read this! Good one! Love you Pete!
That was no beaver, he was just filming too close to Titas
You definitely have some fantastic old tractors!!! Thanks for sharing!
2 of our grandsons stay with us 2 Saturdays a month. The 6 yr old comes in the bedroom at daylight and says “ Is Pete on!” We love your videos!🙋🏻♂️👦🏼
LOL...fastest working Rogaine in history. Thanks for the video
Nice tractor
Can't wait to see you plowing. I was hoping that's what this video was. Thanks, Pete. I love the f20 wish I could have done one for my grandfather before he passed would have made him really smile!
You almost got me with that hair... LoL LoL 😅 I thought I was watching a younger you for a minute! So much fun, never a dull moment with you ❤️❤️ Thanks for being you!!!! 😁
Diggin' the new look, Pete!
Hey Pete... seems a badger crawled up top your head and is taking a nap. haha
I'm starting to see older tractors for sale on marketplace and roadside farms. Young Bucks looking to work some ground on a thin dime get a head start if the stumble into this room.
Thanks for preserving the operational knowledge of these old tractors, Pete. Nice hat!
Good way to start the day, thanks.
Hi Pete, Been cleaning out the storage bins again, it gives you a nice shine, your tractor, looks grate Pete.
Driving those tractors are like time machines. It takes me back to when there were 3 billion more birds and DC3s droning through the sky. 😊
What a great Sunday morning to watch a new great video of you Pete thank alot
Just when you’re not concentrating properly, I looked up. That was hilarious. Keep up the good work.
Delighted to see the Rogain is working! Hollywood, here he comes!
Service and a bath the old tractor sounds great Pete. Have a great day!
Great video! I love Petes sense of humor, reminds me of my husband. No warning ⚠️ just a giant wig, no mention of it, and you thought we wouldn't notice Pete LOL 😂 God bless you all

Oh my word, Pete. You are a trip. Enjoy the plow day. I sure look forward to seeing some of it. Thank you, as always.
Reminds me of taking my horse out for the 1st ride in the spring after being in winter pasture. Put her thru her paces, remind her how to work together 😁
Always teaching Pete good job
As always Another great video. Love watching everything you do on the farm. Brings back lots of memories when I lived on a farm when I was young. Can't wait too see the plowing video! God Bless.
You never fail to supply me with a heart-felt grin and giggle! 😁
I was rolling on the floor with laughter the wig got to go on plow day.
I'm not sure my father taught me that starting, or even if he knew. Although I sold his 1938 F-20 I rebuilt for him a few years later, I still enjoy listening to that sound of the F-20 running!!

Love the hair!

Good morning, Pete. What a fine piece of machinery. The simplicity of this tractor is mind-blowing, like that wig.😂
See ya next week
Gotta keep the head warm..
I’m always impressed by the rugged engineering on those earlier generations of Farmall tractors. The history of the development of tractor technology is super fascinating and the cut throat shady industry that propelled it.
I take great pride in cleaning and getting my little tractor ready for plow days and parades very calming
Your knowledge of the old Farmall tractors is amazing. Love your videos
Best ending ever!!! Pete, Pete, Pete….😀😝
Driving that tractor make you look 20 years younger!
nice hair LOL, nice seeing the old iron still getting it done
Good morning Pete!
I had to laugh when I saw the wig 😂😂😂😂. The old tractor is looking and sounding great. I hope it all goes well and you are having fun. Thanks for the video, and I'll see you later.
I am amazed at your knowledge of mechanics and your ability to restore such old machinery. To be honest, I have no idea what you're talking about, but those tractors sure are beautiful.
exactly feel same way
I remember, in my teens, back in te 60s, a farmer down the road had a couple f20s, and his kids used to flog them almost to death. I wonder if they are still alive..... more memories, thanks Pete.
Thanks Pete
20:49 you looked like a kid in a candy shop for the very first time all smiles😊
Those tractors have the sweetest sound, go red.
Your Grandma would have the fits if she sees you with that wig LOL! Good job on the tractor! She runs very good for her age!
You inspired me to restore my farmall h with my grandpa
The wind flowing through his beautiful hair, that’s farming.
When I saw that wig on your head. I said " what the hell does he have on his head. " lol. Enjoy your sense of humor Pete!!!!!!❤
Never realized how complicated tractors could be. Your videos are so interesting and informative, love them!
Wow that is a nice tractor. It is hard to believe it is so old.
I am always astounded by the technical savvy and expertise in the design of old engines. Always. The designers and engineers were brilliant. And the love you have for maintaining and using your equipment would make those "ancient" design engineers very pleased. WOW! Farm boy Pete does "donuts" in the farm yard!

Beautiful. You always do a fine job rebuilding these Farmall's. Perfection 👌
Pattie still seems to have a lot to say about things still 😅
LOLOL!!! Yep, I laughed out loud. Oh my. Anyway, I just love how you explain the ins and outs of your tractors. Your mechanical knowledge is obviously vast. I am learning so much. Not the least is how important it is to keep everything properly oiled. Thank you!
I have to say the thatch you had on at the end was a vast improvement made you look years younger!!
Pete your videos just get better and better.
Playing with his toys makes him feel young again.
Good morning Pete
She,s a fine looking rig, that was a very well put together video on starting procedure and service
Have fun on plough days have a gr8t day be safe
