Goodness. Watched 22 tractor repair videos in 2 days, and I live in a nursing home.
Rachel, I have no idea why tractor repair videos are appearing in my recommended list, but I enjoy watching your videos. You are an excellent teacher! I regret that I can only give you one thumbs up for each video.
As someone who has restored several tractors, these are all the right things to look for before you buy.
I told her and ChuckE2009 to contact each other, i don't know if they read my commented.
@@mcmxvi6946 Why in the hell would they do that?
@@ShainAndrews it's all about business, ChuckE2009 is struggled fixing his tractor, because of lacked of parts, maybe Rachel gingell can help him.
K/ Ocmp Shaking head... Chuckles runs a clickbait fueled marketing channel. He has amassed a following of people that do not know any better. If agriculture was his business, then he would be getting on the horn, but it isn't. All of this completely overlooks the Gingell's support reservation system they created. Dealing with clickbait minded individuals is risky business.
@@ShainAndrews sounds like hater huh?! Ok mind our own business.
I’m 68 and looking for an older 8n or 9n tractor. I’ve never used one but your videos do give me motor confidence in a purchase. I know they are old like I am but I only have a small amount of land to take care of. I have watched several of your and they have been very informative. Thank you
You are 1 in a billion. You have top notch knowledge and repair skills and you communicate them perfectly. I enjoy old tractors trucks and cars,and now I enjoy these videos. Thank you!
You guys are absolutely killing it with your newer, longer-format videos! So chock full of expert perspectives and information. Thank you so much for producing this awesome content! I'm looking to pick up a used tractor and this is extremely helpful. I'm sure I'll be going through the repair videos in your library shortly. And you can bet that I'll be supporting FarmTractorRepair when I need parts. Cheers!
This young lady is amazing!!! Expert on so many tractors. I just bought a 1952 John Deere model 40 and her videos have been a big help.
Great video. Lots of good information. It's really satisfying to find an old tractor and put it back to work. Really enjoy all your videos.
Your presentation was very informative and fair. Your have honest approach in your salesmanship. It’s nice to see someone enjoy and like their business and trade. Well done.
I love those little cubs, the best garden tractor out there. Raised on a tobacco farm in the 50/60's and FARMALL super A and 140 was the ticket for that type of work. Two acre gardens were common. :)
Great video, some good tractors there, I’ll be doing a farm tour video soon to show what tractors we have here on our farm
Hi it's been only yesterday that i accidentally ran into ur channel. I am amazed at your knowledge and skills about tractors. I feel encourage about getting to know Tractors better and appreciative about you sharing priceless information to us all. Thank You ever so much.
Perhaps a suggestion for the more experienced buyer but if buying as a collector, on top of all those mentioned here, I look to see if it’s complete, I.e. belt pulley, hydraulics, correct rims and other items, 6 V vs 12 V, etc. I bought an IH H last fall because it had all that stuff I just mentioned, but is missing a few cheaper items like choke rod. Another great video!
You recently overhauled this beauty farmall cub did very good job I watch that video to
Great video. I like how you cover all of the key points.
Don’t forget the wasp spray when viewing a parked tractor in the summer months.
Also, I notice you repaired the typo from yesterday’s video, nicely done!
Wasp spray--YES! I do keep a can in the truck!
Paul Bors Jr i worked as a fuel injection mechanic fr 20 years dont think the ladies injector repair protocol was a bit. Haphazd regarding cleanliness.....just a thought....,ps nice lady....,
Gota set just like that looked that way 5 years ago haven't had a flat yet Nock on word amazing been so long I forgot I needed them till you reminded me
Συγχαρητηρια κ μπραβο σου γι'αυτα τα υπεροχα βιντεο!!
Great information as always, thanks!
Don't forget to check out how tight the steering is!
A very excellent video!
I'd love to see a video comparing the experience of using an older tractor (like a mid-50's Farmall 300 or Ferguson TO-30) vs a new Kubota for common chores like driveway maintenance (spreading gravel with a loader or using a box blade) brush hogging, etc.
you make great helpful videos.
Such great info!
Great video. Thank you.
Nice little tutorial. Unlike many of the smiling faces on UA-cam, you really know what you are talking about and not regurgitating someone else's script. I assume you really did write your book....and assuming that you might wish to consider writing buyer's guides for the common brands of older tractors. At $10 or so a piece they would be money in the bank even for experienced buyers. Most of the cars and all of the tractors I own were made well before you were born, so I appreciate the value in the knowledge of where the little gremlins are on the various models. As for newer versus older for reliability, give me just about any of the older ones over the computer run modern ones.....at least for small farm work. My Ford 601 starts and does what I want without any fuss, and has done so for the 27 years I've owned it. It could use some cosmetic work at this point (too many branches got in the way), but scraped paint doesn't affect its performance....it just isn't a parade tractor anymore.
Good job thanks for your help today
Thanks, good stuff.
I like antique gas powered tractors such as the Famous Farmall H.
In my opinion Gas tractors are nice for just small Hobie Farming because you don’t need to worry about the Price of Diesel
I've always made proper and practical repairs to all of my tractors. In recent history I did a major rebuild and go through on a 3010 John Deere I purchased, everything short of the transmission and rearend. When it got to the hacked out wiring harness and original charging system I weighed the cost of a new harness and generator as opposed to creating an electrical system that made sense to my application. Keep in mind I used to be an auto mechanic and several years experienced with tractor repair.
For a charging system I used an older Motorcraft alternator and an AC Delco regulator, they were sitting around doing nothing anyway. (they get along well together😆😎). I put a volt meter in the dash and ran the field circuit through the dummy light to excite the charging field, yes the factory shop mauals help tremendously. It's my personal belief that if you own a tractor at least purchase an I.T. manual for it so you have at least a clue as to what you're looking at when chasing down a problem. Also, I put a mechanical oil gage in the dash and retained the original temp gage. To me it's critical to monitor what an engine is doing instead of relying on idiot lights, especially on a freshly majored engine. This is a good solid, informative video young lady.
In my experience other things to look for, missing oil pan bolts, does the tractor still keep half coasting when standing on the brakes while you're about bending the steering wheel? How much adjustment is left on the clutch pedal? How winey are the gears or grindy sounding are the transmission and rearend bearings when you load the tractor with the brakes in ALL of the gears? Don't get bashful about putting a tractor through its paces before you purchase it. My dad prchased 440 John Deere crawler once, the man he purchased it from told him "You never run these things over 1/2 throttle anyways."
I got a chance to use it within a week of the purchase and my dad told me the same thing. RIGHT!........ I did an inspetion, seemed solid. All fluid levels looked up to full and clean. After 10 minutes of using it to push dirt, my mom was there to witness this, a clinking noise developed from the lower end of the engine. I smoothed out the terrain. Dad was at work, he got home to hear what happened. He immediately got on the phone with the seller, he showed up 2 days later when dad was at work but mom and I were at home. The seller was trying to come up with every story he could not to refund the purchase and white wash the scab repair he made to the engine just to flip a buck! Thanks to mom's business savvy and persistence he refunded the purchase and took the junker with him. That could easily have been a $3,800.00 burn! By the way, the purchase was made at a thrashing show, so just beware at those events on these type of purchases. 'Hey, I've an idea. Let's take it over to the dyno and hook her up. No? Well it guess it can sit!'
No apologies for the long comment, I don't mind sharing the experiences.
Ewww John Deere...😂😂jk I respect your decision mate even though I'm a farmall fan myself
Thank you!
Rachell: You are so cute. Your videos give me courage to tackle major tune up my IH Cub Lo-Boy. You are not just a pretty face, I watched you pop those pistons while being uncomfortable underneath that Farmall. I am in awe. Jim. 78 Y. O. Farm boy.
Good job Thanks 👍🚜🚜🚜🚜
Ms. Rachel : neat - presentation . 😎 Bryan.

Oh well "bought" a John Deere 3010 main jet. + Teflon + made + Dew.
Ms. Rachel : Cost - a 7 foot hay cutter / conditioner (new) $20,000 (20 years ago).
Trying to get 2 100 hp John Deere to bale with computer etc . only & 100 hp Farmall M only to cut hay ( loaf at ) 500 rpms .
Used to use a $29 beach umbrella - 2. Thanks for video.
very informative video and will help me buy a good used tractor, but what if i find a very good machine and the color is just wrong and doesn't go with the color of my house?
I'm going to look at an international 444 with a slight miss in the engine or that's what the description says.
Is there anything obvious I should look for that will tell me what's causing the miss.
My wife and I would like to adopt you to teach us about farm equipment. Do you cook? 😃
...then she finds out you have no wife.
Thanks!
This young woman is impressive as hell!!! She is something from the 1940's but, alive today...
great video. with the cost and poor reliability of many new tractors. Old tractors are still valuable.
NICE!!!
nice video
Verry smart
I have 3 Massey 135's and a 265. They all have the same problem. The brakes are terrible on them, meaning you have to stand on the brake peddles and pull yourself down to make them work. Any suggestions or do I just have to live with it?
I like that yellow one. Just because of its age. And the power.
Russell Grant Appling worst looking thing there
Would you avoid a ‘52 8n 6 volt? Would be used for pulling a box-blade to grade a lawn area at my home.
I will be ordering more parts from Steiner soon. I also very much want a IH hat signed by Rachel for the next show. Please do not rip me for on the price.
This makes me wanna buy an old tractor.
Nice intro
Thanks
I like the 3 Fs farmall Ferguson and Ford !🙃
I have a john deere B in good condition however the rear tires do need replaced
?
I have a 1959 Farmall IH 240 crop row front. When useing the tractor all the sudden it starts the ru ru ru and jerking if I turn down the throttle it smooths out and runs good throttle back up runs good an then it starts that ru ru ru jerking again turn down the throttle a little smooths out throttle back up going going here it gos again ru ru ru jerking jerking ru ru. I would say 40 times in a hours mowing.
Any ideas why it may do this
Great vid, get some sunglasses 😎
Is there something you can not do? WOW!
I can just see me taking a cute girl to go buy a used tractor and her asking all the important questions
I live in an apartment but now I need to buy a tractor.
Everyone needs to buy a tractor.
Toys 'R Us. lol
Thats funny.
I got 3 OLD tractors 1947, 49 & 50. overhauling the wiring on the 47 now as looks like original wiring, engine purrs like a kitten.
I really dont miss Michigan mike arms TX
Wish I saw this 4 weeks ago
Just bought two Golden Jubilee's for 1,000. Runs looks good need sheet metal
And if you see a MF with a multi Power transmission at an auction, keep your hands in your pockets! I got screwed on one several years ago and ended up putting a regular 8 speed in it. It was an expensive swap and I couldn’t find anybody to consult with in it. Have you ever fixed a multi power? That would be an awesome video

Hi David, our original version had a type-o in one of the captions. We corrected it and re-uploaded. :)

Dan Gingell and Rachel Gingell , Taking the time to correct a minor error such as a typo tells much about the character of you two. Great job.
