  • Final video in the four part series of the 1942 Farmall M Restoration.
    I submitted this project to the 2023 Chevron Tractor Restoration Competition and was a finalist presenting at the FFA Conference in Indianapolis in November.
    Thank you to Chevron Delo for running the TRC and thank you to Chevron and Ocean State Oil in Rhode Island for providing the lubricants for this project.

    It's good to see a young man at his age working on something constructive rather than being behind a computer all day playing games. I applaud this young man and his father, plus all the helpers.

    Very impressive! I watched all four parts, and i couldnt believe you did all that in six months at your age! I was also surprised at how easy the old sleeves came out. Fantastic work young Sir, and you DESERVED that award! Keep up the great videos.

      Thanks, yeah, I was fortunate the sleeves moved with my puck and hammer. They did have some heat applied when I was getting the pistons to move. I think that helped.

    I heard your story at this years FFA Nationals. Great job on all the work, documenting and videoing you did of your project from start to finish. Competing at Nationals and receiving the recognition that you did is defiantly something to be proud of and great memories to cherish while you're in your Blue Corduroy Jacket.

    andrew, i could not be more happy for you. as a neighbor in connecticut, it is good that this part of the country receives recognition too. as proud as we all are of you, you must be the most proud of all. rejoice in it, this accolade is very well earned. i noticed an adult man in some scenes especially the decal ones. i presume that is your dad. if he is, i can't help but wonder who is the luckiest man there. the answer... you both are. one final thought, as great an achievement as the is, and it is great, please remember it is still just a beginning. may god bless. and best wishes.

    That's an awesome transformation from junk to show tractor. You definitely have a great family to teach you how to properly do things and help you when needed. Congratulations on winning grand championship in FFA. I enjoyed my time in FFA and you have something great to show for it to keep forever. I'm proud of your accomplishments and please keep humble and keep learning as much as possible in life.

    Beautiful!
    Short story if i may. I owned 2 Farmall cubs (until they were stolen) and my uncle collected Farmall tractors from the smallest to the biggest, even two M models. 6 acres of land, barns and shacks were full of tractors plus parts of every kind. Family had lived on that same land for well over 150 yrs.
    Then the county decided they wanted the land so they could expand the county landfill operations and forced my uncle to sell all the land plus the buildings surrounding the old homeplace. He had an auction and sold just about everything tractor related and then moved. That's been 20 years ago and the land has yet to be used.
    I was out of state at the time so I can only hope they went to a good home.
