I farmed for 46 years and you have just proved to me I have been doing it all wrong. You figured out how to get free equipment, free seed & free help to get a crop in the ground. You are the smartest farmer I have ever seen:)
Getting free stuff is all about being bff with the right ppl
Not free. Still have to buy parts:(
It is interesting, once you are on the treadmill of modern farming, you simply have to get those yields and the price to make it work. But if you don't get on that treadmill, buy that 100k Tractor or 250k Harvester, you don't need that fertilizer.. that spray ... to make the yield to make the payments. It is mad, how we have got to here - But I just traded in a NH T4.75 for a DF Agrotron 85 from 1998 because it is easier to maintain. I'm trying to buy an identical second, and a 3rd in reserve so I can keep that 25 year old Tractor (which is very modern) going for another 25 years. I am basically becoming an expert in this model, and grabbing lots of spares and donors and so far it is paying off in terms for cost.
@@Jdearlybetter than that 250k to 800k tractor🤷♂️
As a tractor guy, I find this absolutely hilarious. You know I just watching a tractor pull implements made for stuff twice its size and it has a car shock on the seat and the cherry on top... the car muffler
It’s not a car shock it’s an early farmall h not the 41+ that has the spring
My bad I didn’t get far enough into the video to see what you were talking about
@@danny_t1536 silly goose! Lol
Eh
redneck farming simulator
"it's like a shitty lava lamp of disappointment" that has to be one of the best line I've ever hear on this channel 🤣
Admittedly was impressive.
Came here to make sure someone had this comment. Classic line
The lamp was always smthng my uncle was looking after at the end of a good day.
Classic! 😆
The fuel system on them can be a bit finicky. The carb can be pretty temperamental.
That line made me subscribe
Dude - PLEASE do this again next year! Bigger machine revivals, higher stakes, and hopefully bigger yields!
He just posted a farmall revival, it looks to be a 60s farmall
This is so similar to how we started farming in 1979 when I was 13. My dad bought my Grandpa's farm in 1979. He was a little behind the times then, but we started farming those first years with a Farmall H tractor, a John Deere 490 planter, a disc, a digger (you called it cultivator), a front mounted cultivator to remove weeds after the corn was up, a 1969 Ford truck and a dog following us back and forth in the field. We used a tractor mounted corn picker. Your tractor sounds exactly like I remembered it. Thanks for the memories.
That's an awesome story, thank you for sharing.
I am thoroughly impressed you've had less issues with equipment what's just been laying around the most farmers do with brand-new modern equipment I cannot wait to see how you're going to harvest it all and what you're going to have to do to get it all
its thanks to the change over from mechanical to digital systems.
while mechanical is far more reliable and can last a lot longer, it has major flaws that comes with it compared to, well digital. mainly control and time it takes for setup.
while a digital system can be configured in literal seconds, mechanical systems depending on how complex they get can take longer. and changing settings on the fly isnt possible with mechanical systems. hence why everyone more or less moved over.
ironically digital systems are easier to repair and maintain unless the companies producing them just wants to be dicks and make it hard, and thats the only reason why people say they like mechanical systems.
also about the harvest, that may be hard or easy. if they go old school like how they have been doing... well may be impossible to even find one, or say fuck it and go with a 70s or 80s harvester.
The new tech makes farmers spend less time in the field but more time in the shop, due to having more complex crap, so more parts, the more stuff that breaks
@@Thekilleroftanks I think it’s because they’re not doing that much
A lot of farmers I believe still use old machinery even if it's so worn-out they should've stopped using it three years ago
On my pap's farm we had an h and a super m. We picked by hand
Easily one of the most anticipated series of videos for me. Equal to watching Jeremy Clarkson try to farm.
A big hell yeah on that comment
I am honored 😂
❤️🤣
In the fall, would you be racing dirt bikes or trikes on the field ?
Totally better
Can we all take a moment to acknowledge that Kevin driving and Mook riding on the axle is absolutely adorable and wholesome.
What time was it
Comin someone who farms at a fairly large scale my hats off to you. I run a 90ft John Deere DB planter with guidance and every sensor and bell and whistle you can think of. All I do is watch monitors all day. Everything is driven electronically even the rows. Sayin all that I respect the heck out of what your doing. Running that old equipment is tiresome and really shows how far farming has come. You rarely see stuff this old ran anymore. Hats off to ya man 👍good luck on the crops you picked a good year to grow corn
If you don't see this kinda stuff run, you are not looking in the right place
@@jimerjam6689 Maybe in your neck of the woods but not around here where im at. You might see some stuff from late 70’s and 80’s but even thats here and there.I havent seen anything this old in a long long time
around here its all small farms so all we see is the old equipment lol. heck the newest tractor i run is a 66 ford 5000 lol i only make hay. would be really cool to plant 3-4 acres of corn for my cows tho.
@@tractorboy4148 a lot of big farms lease their equipment so the oldest they'll have is 5 years or so.
@@Egleu1 ya around here where i live there mostly owned or if leased older tractors r used. i dont see a whole lot of "new" tractors
Not that I was planning to learn how to plant corn…but now I know! I love the old school approaches! Well done Kevin and Mook! Looking forward to your progress.
"Thank you to all the neighbors..." - Who haven't seen comedy this good in a decade... Seriously though, We'll want to see how your yields turn out. This hardware fed a nation (the world) for a lot of years. Waiting with anticipation for the rehabbing of the mechanical nightmare that is a combine.
I got to admit it almost brings the tear to my eye seeing that old tractor actually doing work every time I see one nowadays they're just a parade vehicle looking pretty.
Or sadly parked as decoration in someone's yard
That H is smiling!
i farm with a 1949 ford 8N and a 1959 ford 941
We have a 400 Farmall with an M wide front end we use to pull log trailers and run a wood splitter.
Had to smash pause as I am ordering a pizza and saving this video for the full pizza experience. For real, this farming series is already one of my favorites on youtube. My dream would be a small farm to retire on, you're showing us it isn't as impossible as it seems.
Bro I feel ya there. Had the pizza experience with this video as well.
@@CubCadetMan71 Was a well spent experience.
@@timcole421 indeed it was.
So don't keep us in suspense, what did you get on your pizza, and who did you order from?
@@oldhillbillybuckkowalski It isn't the first choice but papa john's is on the other end of the block for me. XL Pepperoni and jalapenos. I am still saddened by the fact that the following morning I found the leftovers still on the counter instead of in the fridge. But it hit the spot. Love this series.
Big thanks to all your neighbors - I'm really enjoying the watching you all bring things back to life.
Its 4am and im watching you . I,ve been looking up repairs to get my 8n to start up and check wiring and mechanical issues. its been setting for 10 years. i,ve been a mechanic for many years but not on farm tractors . My experance is on 18 wheelers. I have not laugh this hard in years,,enjoyed every minute of it. Im 75 and could relate and just retired. Tying to keep my mothers small place of ten acres,,shes 101 yr.
It's Friday night, I've got some beers, and I'm watching a former helicopter mechanic till a field with abandoned farm equipment, and i couldn't be happier. Cheers
WOW Did not know he was a Copper mechanic
@Mark Deaton dude he did a tour in the middle east, possibly 2
@@Rebelgamer-1111 yup! But just one, Spartan Shield 17-18
@@JunkyardDigs my bad brother
@@Rebelgamer-1111 nah you're good man! Most people don't even know I served
I love watching that "H" work. It brings back so many memories. My uncle used nothing but Farmall's on his farm. Two "H"s" and a "Super M". I grew up around those tractors. They were amazing tractors. To say nothing about the different ways he kept the other equipment running as well, just like you had to do on the planter. Thanks!!!
Congratulations on getting corn into the ground, even if it's a little late in the season. Ordinarily I'm not one for farming videos, but you and Mook are my kind of people. God bless all the people who helped you with seed and everything.
"I should have known that violence was the answer."
Excellent quote.
That old H really put in the work pulling stuff meant for a larger tractor. They really are a tough and capable old tractor. Just think, it did all of that with just 25hp. My zero-turn lawnmower has 27. Loving this series, putting all of this old equipment back to work and actually getting the job done. Really enjoying Junkyard Farms! I'm curious how old the planter and other equipment are. The tractor is 70-80 years old and still getting the job done.
Kevin, you can get positive stops for that hydraulic cylinder. split rings with a spring band on the outside, they come in variety of widths. set your desired depth then stack the rings til it fills the rest of the cylinder shaft from head to body. when you lower the equipment, it stops at that point so you don't keep going too deep and stall it out. helps immensely when you're using single action cylinders.
This makes me appreciate my gps guided, climate controlled, 4wd john deere a lot more. Great series guys. Loved every minute !!
Is it working better than Zack's(Millenialfarmer)? Offer Kevin some video!
Nothing beats farming with a 1940s farm tractor, unless it has air. Lol
I like the simple and practical approach. Especially for field that size. No million-dollar farmer loans either.
makes me appreaciate working with 100 series massey fergusons let alone all that
Nico do you like the payments on that $80,000 JD? Or the $700 for the Ford, Farmall H, the 10' disc and the planters. But all that new and let's see... $60k+ for a 3/4 ton truck, $60-150k for a tractor, another $20-50k for disc and $60-150k for the planters. Yea I farm with old Farmalls but I don't owe the banks one red dime....
I literally have spent 47 minutes watching him get prepared to plant corn. It's very entertaining.
I’ve never in my entire life wanted to see corn being planted than right now! Good show old boy!
I spent a good chunk of my childhood springtimes in the ‘90s maintaining the 8-row version of this planter. Watching you go through the mechanical workings of this thing brought back some great memories of farming with my dad.
We own over a dozen of those letter series Farmalls. Use 30 weight non detergent for the hyd system. and use 15-40 shell rotellat in the engine. It already has zinc in it. Be certain the small hole in the bolt for the oil filter is not plugged up.
The corn is finally in. "It's like a shitty lava lamp of disappointment" that was the funniest thing I have heard all day and one of the funniest things said on this channel😂😂😂. I love this series and hopefully the harvest will be good.
I was laughing about that comment while shopping at Costco (a mid-video run)
Here’s a tip, turn the hydraulic bucket the opposite way, pour with the spout on top instead of on the bottom, it flows way batter and way easier to pour… don’t take the air plug out unless you know your dumping the entire pail in … thank me later 🍻
Andrew I was going to say the same thing but for clarity I would have said when filling a xxx with liquid out of a container, have the hole of the container filling from, in the 12 o'clock position not the 6 o'clock possie it will flow, and not gurgle as the air can get in the pouring container easier.
I had a hard time getting that across to J. C Smith on his channel (same Name) about 3 years ago if the person doesn't get the instructions first grasp you have a frustrating time explaining. 😁
Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
i love the fact your putting this ol gal back to work, its trully nice to see
When pouring fluids, (like the oil u were pouring), always pour with the spout at the top, (inverted), saves a lot of spilling. Works the same for any edible fluids, (e.g. milk, juice etc.)
I cant wait to watch this with my son. He has absolutely loved this series so far. We have watched you fix that tractor atleast 3 times now. My son is 2
Thats awesome!!
Get a magnet and stick in on the tank Thanks for sharing great field of corn Congratulations
Now that you've proven the concept, next year it taters, onion, zucchini, lettuce, ect. Make it a self sufficient homestead
I'd love to seem them looking for a potato digger or middle buster plow in iowa. No chance.
My Dad farmed 80 acres on an H when he was growing up. He watched these. I asked if he gave you any pointers.
Him: "He never asked."
He still has an H. Pretty nice rig.
The only tractor my Grandfather bought new was a 1953 Allis Chalmers D-17. I helped him as a pup (10-ish) drive out the sleeves with a 4x4 block and sledge in the early 90's. That same summer, after a rebore, sleeves, bearings, rods 'n pistons, head work, double valve springs, custom cam, and a GM coil; I made my first pull ever and won my class two days running. Watched it go from a derelict work horse to a sled steed. He asked me one time if I wanted to repaint it. I said "Nope. It needs to remember where it came from." He died 24 years ago and it still hasn't been painted.
There's something about the Farmall, the old implements and ford pickup that just seems right when there's so much wrong in the country today 👍👍👍👍
Amen to that 🇺🇲
Hey Kevin, the temp gauge could have been perfectly fine. These tractors are extremely hard to get hot if they are running right.
He did say it wasn't even getting hot enough to move the gauge. So you're probably right.
Just needs a new thermostat. They're notorious for sticking open after a few years.
Took me 25 years back when I was 10 or so and we used to plant rice. There was no tractor, all we had were half-dozen farming tools and couple of borrowed oxen. My father or a hired help would till the field using a wooden plow with iron-tip. Then we would use big wooden-hammers to break the clods, pick up any organic debris. After this the my granny would mostly just throw the rice seeds in followed by some field walking to put the seeds a bit deep in the ground. Then few weeks later there would be rice plants coming out of the field.
Then normally you would use fertilizers and monthly weed-whacking along with some water-management ( in my hometown it rains crazy, that's why rice!).
We would start by May-end, would put seeds in by June-1st/2nd week, and by October end we would have rice ready to be plucked. Then everybody in the household and some hired help would take sickles and go cut the crop. Then there was a lot of exercise to bash the rice-clippings onto wooden boards and then collect and take the grain to a mill for further processing.
And now you’ve got all of us fully invested in this! Can’t wait to see the process along the way, and what the field yields at the end of the season!
Oils for older diesels still have a lot of ZDDP in them. ACEA A3/B4 is a common spec for diesels without particulate filters, most oils that comply with this standard have over 1000 ppm of zinc. Oils of this specification are also perfectly fine for spark ignition engines.
At harvest when you see the bald spots in the field, those are called planter skips. And to fight them you have to really dial in the planter. And then when you do, you'll still have them LOL. I couldn't wait to see you plant - absolutely excellent job for a first timer - you'll only get better from here. And BTW where is Angus??? Doesn't he know you have to get the corn in??? That's ok, just call him and tell him he can do all the detasseling.
In my ignorance, I always thought the cultivator was the implement that planted the seed. Great to now know all the equipment and steps it takes.
i didnt know either and i grew up on a farm lol
A welder generator would be handy for you.. stick should probably be suitable for most outdoor farm welding tasks... Congratulations on your new home...
Go haunt a couple of auctions like Diesel Creek does. You get a restore video and a welder / generator out of it. (You may appreciate the generator as the summer storms roll through...)
My dad started with a two row Cockshut planter and progressed to a four row International at 38 inch spacing,but everything is now 28 inch,which helps with earlier shade up to discourage weeds.
Check the oil pump pickup screen. I have an IH about same vintage. Had same oil pressure problems. The pickup screen was almost completely plugged.
And I absolutely love that the chains and pinch points on the planter have no shields and there's no fenders on the tractor. Just like so much of the equipment I grew up using -- and I still have all my fingers and toes. ;)
All of the safety stuff we have today is why we have so many dumb people everywhere. Back when we grew up, they didnt make it long.
I don’t know why but it warms my heart seeing such an old tractor still being able to work and in this case pulling equipment that might be a bit too big for it.
as we said on the farm about implements too big ...just let the hem out and grunt a little..speaking about the tractor wide open and pulling it's heart out
The rains coming! This is cool as can be. I love seeing the old equipment working, and seeing how some of it works, that planter is nifty!
Oh, also, I'm practically an oil expert, I have been using the internet for quite a number of years, that more than qualifies me, and I'll confirm the best oil to use is one that is made of oil. The water based oils just don't hit quite the same, and neither do the pudding based oils.
I love how you installed that fancy car shock into the seat then immediately max out its compress size so you might as well just have a solid metal bar for a seat spring.
I honestly didn't think I would enjoy watching Kevin work on Farming equipment, but I was sure wrong! Please keep it coming!
My absolute favorite series you’ve done! Takes me back to our family farm in the summer time. Thank you
It's awesome to see all this abandoned equipment getting work done, and it's awesome to see your local community just helping out!
This was awesome! I knew this series was going to be a blast to watch. Farming for fun isn't something most people get to experience, unfortunately for real farmers it's how they provide for their family so they are under much more pressure. I can't wait to see an update with the little green stems coming out of the ground and the growing beginnings!! That planter was really impressive considering how old it was, it really did a good job. You should do weekly updates, just a real quick one showing the growth in the field and then you could time lapse it in the end and show the growth over the season...that would be very entertaining too.
When I started farming we had a JD 494 planter. After that we switched to IH planters. Your 1250 is similar except for the more complicated row units. The cotter keys sheering is a continual problem. We took strips of white rag about about 1"x6" and tied them around the row unit drive shafts near the gear box. You could easily see the rags flopping around and know that the cotter keys had not sheared. Some guy replaced the cotter keys with roll pins but I think the cotter keys were made to shear to keep from breaking other things.
i grew up on a grain farm in the 60s until 73 we used a farmall H to do planting spraying cultivating bush hogging . our go to tractor. it got twice the hours our other tractors did
WOOHOOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE ON THIS also have you ever had headers actually explode off a car because idk what my friend did to his car
Ive seen a muffler explode
Due to an idiot having his all 8 plug wires wrong which caused unburned fuel to go into the exhaust
Then when the plug wires were partially correct the engine fired and and ignited the unburnt fuel
Causing an explosion so loud that my brothers and myself heard the explosion over 200 hundred yards away through some thick trees in a ravine even at that distance the explosion sounded to us like a shotgun at point blank range the trucks owner stated that the explosion had his ears ringing for over an hour and that he felt a sense of confusion afterwards (light state of shock presumably)
Was an exhaust pipe pinched?
Did you have a restriction. Or timing way out?
flooor it to max RPM turn ignition off quickly and then on without lifting can cause that
I love that smoke came off the battery on the tractor startup!
Being an east coast girl, that was very interesting and informative! Thank you Kevin and Mook, and thank you farmers.
@ 12:40 "A shitty lava lamp of disappointment" .....feckn poetry.
This was awesome to watch! Can’t wait to see little corn stalks spouting up everywhere in your fields!!!! Great job👍
Absolutely one of your best series of videos. It brought back great memories of my Farmall H and working my fields. Your down to earth humor was genuine and had me laughing and enjoying the show. Thank you I look forward to more of your Farm Living. Oh and I really thought we would hear the song “She Loves my Tractor” when I saw Moot riding along😄
You need a junk yard digs sticker on the tractor 😂
place a couple donut stops on the cylinder to adjust the plow depth. Farmall H was made for smaller plows like a 2 bottom moldboard, 5 shank chisel, 8 foot disc etc. That field cultivator is a little much but should make a good seedbed if you adjust the depth
There are two ways you could prevent this from being an issue later. I've used both. One is go to your local hardware store and get a few gallons of muriatic acid. I mix it 50% with water and leave it in there 8 hours. It will get the rust scale either completely gone or you can blast the rest out with the pressure washer. But any seams and such that are compromised with rust will leak and have to be fixed. Second option is to get a fuel tank restoration kit from POR-15. With as little rust as the tank has I think its the way to go. Its a good kit, done a few tanks with it over the years. This will treat the rust you have and glue it to the tank walls so it cannot become a future issue. You will need to let the tank sit for at least 3-4 days before trying to use it though.
It’s always a great day when a new video posts! Got I love old iron like that! “A shitty lava lamp of disappointment” had me rolling 😂
6:07 use what ever size square drive you have with flat bar packing to make up the difference. I’ve used this trick before 🇦🇺🤙🏼
Big pliers 👌
Or …. Angus’s even Bigger pliers 😳
I actually would have taken the time to remove the fuel tank and done a gravel wash. That would have completely taken care of your rust sediment problem. I would then later look into lining the fuel tank.
Or chain. I was impressed with Deboss’ bronco fuel tank after rolling a chain in it.
Rain was coming. He barely got it done in time as it was.
Didnt have time. He had to GET THAT CORN IN THA GROUND!
Brilliant solution with the stand pipe. Just remember to drop the tap and release the crap you've separated in the bottom of the tank when you're done. 👍
Well I'm going to start digging through our family farm now and see what still wants to work! Awesome series! I just started farming full time so this is actually almost more helpful than it is entertaining but definitely plenty of both!!! Keep em coming!
I remember when we used to fill our tires with water on the smaller tractors. Helps a lot.
Its still done around here even on the large tractors
We used calcium back in the day, now it is washer fluid so it doesn't freeze
You two are definitely outstanding in your field!
Wonderful video as always!
"How hard can it be?" always gives me Clarkson vibes lol
The sound of an H Farmall engine is music to my ears. I've heard that sound all of my life. We farmed with an H. My grandparents farmed with H's and M's. I love the sound of the H Farmall. I could fall asleep to that sound.
I have a buddy with 11 acres in Mariposa California and they have an OLD tractor with a disc. That disc was loaded down with old cylinder heads snd anything heavy to help it sink into the ground. As a teenager I'd spend a good part of an afternoon with a boombox strapped to the tractor and having the time of my life going back and forth at 3 mph.
Back when I was a teenager my uncle rented a 30 acre farm, he decided to plant it and he didn't have a tractor but he had a disc and cultivator so we used my pickup to disc and cultivate the field then we used the hand plow and put in the seed by hand him, my father and I were so exhausted by the time we were done we couldn't move.
When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s I had no idea that small planters existed. We had a British Leyland small tractor to plow and disc. Cultivator? Didn't know that existed either. After disking we just planted by hand. Seemed to work . Thankfully we only had about 3 acres of mixed crops.
I've always loved your videos on reviving cars and trucks. That being said, I'm loving these farming videos. Living vicariously through you and Mook farming.
Safety suggestion keep those thumbs out of the center of the wheel, I’ve seen a few broken thumbs from the tricycle setup. It amazing how fast it can spin on you.
I especially love this episode... my GREAT grandfather used to farm with this exact model up until his stroke.... I have so many memories of these old tractors
I can’t wait to see y’all find a harvester 🤣
By "harvester " do you mean "combine " ?
@@jefffindley5870 the technical term is actually a “combine harvester”. Same thing 🤣
I think it would cool if they found a pull behind corn picker then got to have the fun of shelling it . I remember my uncle still shelling corn when I was about 12 . I'm 60 now .
I've been waiting for this video for so long! I absolutely love this series This is just the coolest thing ever! Really is inspiring might I add. It proves a number of things number one the old mechanical stuff does last forever. Number two you can farm with old abandoned equipment. And number three with a little help from friends and family anything even as ridiculous as this is possible. Really looking forward towards harvest Time. And what are you guys going to exactly do with your yield? I guess if this actually goes pretty well you guys might be able to set up a farmers market lol. I guess what I'm saying is Awesome job guys! Very much looking forward to seeing more of this series.
Farm living is the life for me Thanks for sharing
15:00 that hydraulic lift cylinder sprayed some oil.
Nice catch
Dad had a 51 Case with a leather belt pto driven irrigation pump. It was a pain to align the belt sometimes but it could put out the water. A giant cast iron pump on a skid of crossties staked with iron pipe to keep it in place. There is probably some neighbors using an 8N still. One has a couple Farmall tractors.
This is the most satisfying channel on the whole internet. You, Mook and Company bring something simple and peaceful to the world that we so desperately need right now. To say I'm a fan is an understatement. And then I found out you're an old Army Dog. You make us proud, Soldier. Hooah!
hey alot of older school farmers keep their old equipment because the new ones are outragesly expensive and computerized with stupid updates and software recalls so this to me is a good way to go
same with truck drivers..tired of being regulated by the epa for def fluid and smog garbage robbing needed power to pull hills..speaking from experience of course...did it for nearly 15 years and got tired of being shut down on the interstate by stupid computerized garbage..and yes it will shut you down heart-attack- dead on the freeway or busy city loop then you become a hazard to yourself and everyone else commuting
me me me...looks like 1980-1990 around my house and am ging to keep it that way...Just farm what we own and dont care what the big dogs think..
Been waiting on this episode. I do notice the H sure has one heck of a noise coming from the transmission.
That is a HUGE disc for a H to pull. Looked like pretty hilly ground as well. Nicely done sir!
It's cool seeing that 40's IH McCormick H Model farm the fields Kevin. Plus there my most favorite tractor. I used to have a 1964 IH Cub Cadet lawn tractor i got from my cousin. It still had the 3 speed manual trans & not the engine.
Nothing like old school ingenuity. Definingly paved the way for the world today, I wish we could go back to those times things would be so much simpler.
Can't wait for the future episodes of this series. We used 70's equipment on our farm still. The old stuff are incredible pieces of engineering.
The corn is finally in!
Not to diss your automotive content... but I am so excited for this! Best episode to date! Pretty informative for a non-farmer as myself. Really great to see the classic machinery in action.
This was a great series, I hope to see more about your farm.
Man, 2 year old video and I was still cheering for y’all getting the corn in the ground. Love the content, looking forward to watching more.
23:19 had me dying 🤣 the stack just slowing falling over
This has been awesome! As I'm drinking my friday after work beers, I feel like I'm drinking with friends! Glad yall got it in!
Strip the Teflon tape of the sending unit for the temperature gauge. It needs to ground to the block.
Thermal bulb.
You guys are living in a really beautiful place! Kinda reminds me from country i live. I dont know anything about farming but i still have enjoyed this series!
Greetings from Finland😁
I was 5years old when I drove this same kinda tractor. We farmed 750 acres with it till just 3 years ago. Of course we added a JD 7200 years ago but this video sure brings back the memories. Driving it to school in the morning after being out in the fields already for a few hours then to school and back straight out into the fields again. With school book’s attached. Those were the days.
We need more people like Kevin in this country!
My Dad had a Farmall H that he bought about 1950. It is basically a 2 row tractor. Designed to plant 2 rows at a time, cultivate 2 rows at a time and discing 2 rows at a time and plow using 2 bottom plows at a time. Correct sized equipment would result in no or little tire slipage. Oversized equipment will cause premature wear and the engine will run hot. I learned to use the Farmall H when I was 8 years old.
