The point of "just a manure spreader" is certainly accurate, and you cannot make a case that they add any functionality, but the decals really make the spreader look right and good! Very nice touch as usual.
Where’ve you been I hope everything is okay
Hi Joel, I think you are asking about my UA-cam channel disappearing. I was hijacked and my entire google account was stolen and erased. I am tempted to re-establish my content because I considered it to be instructive, but the loss was a serious kick in the butt. Do you have an opinion
That's the trouble with this world, Nobody wants to go through all that riggamarrow any more, but back in my day my Dad was the riggamorrow king!
I agree my dad was a farmer with grandpa then in the Army, then a shop mechanic in a textile mill. I was amazed when I went to high school with town kids and their dads paid people to work around their houses.
For the record, I really enjoy watching you rebuilding and repairing your farm equipment and tractors. I guess maybe because it reminds me of my father, who was never afraid or timid to tackle any repair job around our house or on his cars. Thank you for your channel, I enjoy it very much regardless of the task!
Same
I figure it this way. If something is not working or broken, I might repair it. What is the worse I could do if it is already broken? Make it *broker?*
😂
Wow Pete, farmers are really "a jack of all trades". Mechanic, engineer, painter and so on. Your skills are amazing, and I enjoy watching and listening to you explain how each task is accomplished. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to tell about how the hydraulic system works. I also appreciate you taking us along for the joy ride.
The manure spreader looks great. Being a former hog farmer I can appreciate the effort put into your work. Very nice job.
Thank you so very much again ✝️ 💖.
I would Never get that pump back together! At 71, I still pray for Patience
Pete you are the Farmall tractor whisperer.Love watching you work .
Pete, thanks for being able to look over your shoulder. Your professional, patient, and detailed approach to these very difficult tasks is an inspiration.
We tried your steaks a couple nights ago, just the steaks, no sides, they were humongous!! Honestly one of the best sirloin steaks I’ve ever had. Probably would have been way better on charcoal. Thank you Pete for feeding our family food for the soul, you can taste the care you put into your animals
Thank you.
Can't wait for your restoration.
Good morning it the Nov 28 in Kitchener Ont Canada and have the first snow .Sit that 9 f outside I hope you with have a good day .Just to tell that mom get up to see you a little 89 year old. Thank you for all the happy you do for her.
Hi Stephen, good day to you and your Mom.
Driving your super C brings back memories of driving my grandfather’s 230.
Very happy to hear that there is an upcoming restoration.
Man that super C sounds great !!!
Surprising how well it runs, has no trouble in road gear.
So nice to see a Farmall going down the road without having to move the steering wheel hardly at all !!!
Spreader turned out much better than most would expect. As much as you use it in the spring, this year should be trouble free, & operate like new.
Going to be hard for me to watch that first bucket go in there, BUT …. You bought it to use……
Quick power wash & good as ever.
Congrats on getting the pump repaired, getting parts seems to always be a frustration at times.
I do enjoy all of your videos. These R and R videos remind me of time spent watching my Dad. Like you Pete he was able to fix practically anything and encouraged his 3 daughters to help. I enjoyed the time spent with him. He’s gone now but these are great memories. Thank you for the wonderful videos.
My 4 year old son was so excited to see your new video this morning. He loves watching you fix the tractors. One of his favs is watching you plow snow with the tractor. He wants one himself. 😆 great video as always, love how the manure spreader turned out! Always fun to watch “farm show” as my son says. 😊 God bless
That manure spreader 👀 looks better than new I always like the look 👀 of those old farmalls with that bright red paint along with the new Holland equipment that bright snow with a full moon at night it that red paint really stands out really enjoy watching you bring that old rusty stuff back looking 👀 like new again thanks for taking us viewers along
Peter you are a good mechanic, I really enjoy you tractor videos just us much as I enjoy the farming email. I am restoring a 1960 and a 1971 Volvo your videos are such .inspiration. Thank you.
No better picture than all that red power sitting together in the shed. 👍
Pete, I think that you were always meant to be a farmer. Farmers are so resourceful, and you are certainly that! I really enjoy my time with you.
You did an excellent job on your manure spreader. I bet it feels good to have your machinery working well and looking good. Your instructions re decals installation are so helpful for anyone who is doing such stuff. That is why your channel, no matter what anybody might say to the contrary (jealous people), is as much a public service as it is very enjoyable. Thank you. Marcel from Saskatchewan.
Thanks for taking the time to put out another great video! Spreader looks amazing. Always enjoy the rebuilds…great background in the IH pumps. Looking forward to the big project!
A little bit of love and some elbow grease is all it takes! Oh. Let’s not forget the hours of research put in to figure it all out. Amazing job on both the spreader and the super c. The lesson is it doesn’t have to be perfect, I think!
Right! "Good enough" is often more suitable than "perfect."
Good day to all.
I must say that was very kind of Sophie to send you those tractor parts all the way from Bulgaria.
Woster pumps will get you everytime. Good job Pete.
That's what I love about Pete's channel, he rebuilds & repaints the equipment we all got to see prior to it's beautiful makeover. It's going to be very fun to see the tractor & newly painted spreader in the field.
i know the Bible says not to be envious but i absolutely love all those tractors you have !!! great video Pete
The “Just a manure” spreader looks really good. It’s the small details.
Hi Pete I believe the pre wetting does not activate the adhesive rather it just makes them easier to position. This stops the non intended sticking during placement. Hi from Australia.
Well I wish they had said I had that option in the instructions. I prefer to put them on dry if I have the option. I'm contacting the Bulgarian Embassy to lodge a complaint.
@JustaFewAcresFarm you've got a straighter eye than I do then! Every time I put decals on I end up adjusting - but I'm cheap and use mylar backed so can slide around like these ones do.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm that’s the way don’t let them get away with this waste of 3 drops of detergent. By the way my wife told me to see she likes Billy the pigs. He has human eyes 😂. Have a great Xmas.
Although I do enjoy the cutting and baling hay and the livestock videos. I must say I REALLY enjoy watching you working on your machinery and explaining while you work. It inspires me to attempt projects I didn't think I could do and/or even want to do. Thanks Pete.
Thank you for putting on the New Holland decals Pete. It looks like Beautiful craftsmanship and farm artwork. Be very proud of your great work!
nice job Pete
The super C pump rebuild and discussion of parts availability is such a wonderful learning lesson for all of us to learn from. The journey is bitter sweet.
A brilliant job with the manure spreader 😉. Will be a shame to see it get filthy again😢. But as you said it is only a speader 👍. Great videos keep it up😀. From the uk.
I love the way the C123 sounds without a muffler. It’s like a WW2 airplane to me. I am in the process of restoring my dad’s super c and I think I am going to straight pipe it.
I'm not a mechanic, but I enjoy all your videos, your a handy guy to have around,, architecture, carpenter, mechanic, and farmer, be well,
Fastest rebuild I’ve seen you do. You make it look easy.
Nothing better than these videos! Done with humility and so great at sharing knowledge.
Thank you Pete for sharing your world with us. . We learned a lot from watching you .👍👍👍👍👍
Good job Pete! Thanks for the tutoring and info. Your pump research was interesting for sure. But, you figured it out. What a fine looking Super C you have now! That empty corn field reminds me of a line from James Whitcomb Riley poem, "When the Frost is on the Punk'in", "The stubbles in the furies kinda lonesome like but still, a preachin sermons to us of the barns they growed to fill."
Well Pete I am glad you might have your pig problem fixed I love watching them little buggers grow. I love watching your channel your animals are great. Thanks
Still my favorite channel !
I'm a bit late on the comments from a couple of videos ago, but I'm rooting for Billy.
Reminds me of putting decales on my model cars, planes, boats,pinewood derby cars.
The good ole days,late 60s early 70s;time to get out the glue and ester paints🤗 thanks!
Goodness Mr. Pete! That manure spreader looks mighty fine!
@29:56 Patty is on her game! Ready to complain as soon as Pete turns off that tractor! Pete ...Patty wants new grass to eat...LOL
❤❤❤❤loved your restoration projects 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Pete I love rewatching all of your videos. Thanks
Those Farmalls sure made a great looking tractor.
She sounds so perfect love the look and red colour makes her stand out
Pete, the old Super C is such a beauty. And she sounds soooo sweet. And that has to be the prettiest manure spreader I have ever seen. One more thumbs-up for Pete Larson. Thanks, Pete.
Cliff hanger. That was great. Pete nice to see how you solve problems with parts. I'm sure it will help someone out in the farming community.
Boy, those red tractors sure look pretty all lined up in the 'new' machine barn! Can't wait to see which one is set to join them with the winter project!
Always enjoy watching the super c getting ran.
Great Job Mr. Pete! youv'e just trippled the value and life of that M spreader. Nice job!!
Hey Pete, it's getting cold here in Wisconsin as well. 5 degrees right now. No heat in my shop so I'll wait for the sun to warm things up. Rebuilding old equipment with the intent of them going back to work can be quite the challenge. I'm so disappointed with the remanufactured and after market parts I've been buying. It seems many of them are just supposed to be bolted on and not actually worked. My most recent project has been the worst. Two radiators, two water pumps, three fuel pumps, two carburetors and valve lifters that go flat when sitting overnight. Doing something the first time is satisfying. The second, not so much. My next big hurdle is that the last real parts guy is retiring first of the year. The rest are nice fellows but can only follow the computer prompts. I'm not ready to go the way of the dinosaurs so I'll just continue on having fun getting greasy! Thanks for all the real world videos.
Be out in Ithaca tomorrow bringing dog to vet office across from Triphammer Mall tomorrow, I will have to go into town and get something to eat and do a little shopping as I will have to wait for the dog to wake up from treatment.
Can’t wait for news on the winter project 👍 . But a little request , let’s see what the cows are making of the new winter shed / extension . Always love seeing the cattle 😊
We had a super C on our farm growing-up, but your tractor looks so much better than ours ever did-ha!
Good job Pete can't wait to see you again
That's a great country road in front of Pete's farm. I've never seen another vehicle on it.
Great job Pete, that shit slinger sure looks Purdy. Wasn't sure about those 50 yr. old square O'rings, but fantastic recovery. Looking forward to the shop rebuild.👍👍💚
You really did an awesome job completing all your fall projects!
It's really grand that i knew we would go for a joy ride well before we went. LOL
I remember that method for decals from a long time ago. Still looks nice.
Hi Pete and Precilla !
Between your farming style and how it looks, and the restorations, Pete man you are my hero!!
Hey Pete, Nothing says "I AM THIS FARMERS SPREADER" like a New Holland...Cheers from Maine.
So happy you are back mate and hope you and your family and friends are all doing well mate thanks for sharing your journey and hope you are all doing well God you all ..it’s really nice that you show people how to do it wright mate you have a lot off knowledge I really appreciate it and hope you’re children take it up cos as you know when we are going that’s it as always all the best to you and your family and friends. What an amazing experience and great job you did there mate love it.
That’s one beautiful tractor collection envy puts it in one word. Good day
The results of a job well done----a thing of beauty and utility.
Pete those decals finished that project properly looking good
Love these fix it projects and the restoration projects!
Wow ! The “Ole” olive oil heating trick ! Who would have thought of that ? Maybe in a Farmer’s Almanac ?
Ooooo! Started up smooth! Started up smooth! 😊😊😊
Old Farmall mechanic told me one time pete, when you put those two halves of that pump together after working on it Philip full of 90 weight put it back together and it will pretty much self prime
You should add a "The Circle Of Life" sticker on the manure spreader somewhere.
Nice video. Looks great, Pete.
Morning Pete!
U make an excellent vinyl jockey Sir!
Love the decals, the whole thing looks great!
Appreciate your repair and rebuild series. Sets you apart from other U Tube farming channels.
Wow! What a transformation! Looks like a new machine!
Hi Pete
Hello from Minnesota
I’m a Swiss machinist I run a CNC machine my bar feeder that put raw steel bar stock into the machine the bar feeder runs about 1500 to 2000 psi hydraulic oil and the filter caps are held down by 6 bolts the seal is a 8 inch diameter .120 diameter o ring I will cut and superglue the rubber o rings together and have no problem With any oil leaks
You should be fine making your own seals
❤your channel keep doing what you’re doing
Gunny
Hoping the Cub is the next restoration project. Finger's crossed
Pete, You do an amazing job on your equipment. Enjoy your videos.
Can't wait to see what you have in store for us this winter! 👏👏
The soap and water trick works for "regular" vinyl stickers too. It makes them a little easier to apply and makes larger stickers more forgiving. So, you can used the same trick with other vinyl, especially large stickers.
As usual, thanks for the video. Why no blood on your knuckles?
Fun stuff. Looks great!
Not sure anybody offered this yet, but to the best of my knowledge spraying soapy water isn't for activating the stickiness. It simply allows you to place the decal and slide it around. Once in the perfect position then you use the squeegee to get that soapy water out of there, and allow the vinyl to stick. So you don't need to use tape or other markings to line things up, you can just slide the decal into the perfect position. I hope that is helpful!
Happy Holidays from Alaska!
Pete, your knowledge and experience never cease to amaze me. Great job. I'm looking forward to much more
I saw your neighbor’s “GREEN” tractor sneak into the blog when you went for the short rip. There goes the Neighborhood!! 😱
👍👍
End of a excellent build and another two done. Looking forward to the winter build series
Looks so much better with the narrow front end
Sometime before I go, I’m gonna use that Olive oil trick. Thanks for being you.
Love your attention to detail ,great trick at rejuvenation of an O ring.
Every time I watch one of Pete's videos, I see a man who has made it in life.
Nice job fixing the hydraulic pump on the Super C too!!.. Sometimes you have to think outside the box in order to get the job done...
That is a beautiful looking shed with all that spectacular red power
The spreader turned out great! I like your o- ring rejuvenation action. I was taken aback that it does that!
