Spending time working with your son is the only reason you need. My Daddy is gone now but I have many fond memories of working with him in the past. Enjoy Mr. Pete!
The memories you are making for you and your son are worth more than the truck. It’s a win win for the both of you. Can’t wait to see you both taking it for a ride.
I am definitely more of a fan of International tractors than I am of International trucks but I am glad that Pete is working on getting this beast running again. It’s also great to see Henry turning wrenches on this project too. I am looking forward to the next episode on this old truck.
My father and I rebuilt a 1950 dodge pickup with the 6 cyl flathead and 3 on the tree for my first vehicle, I learned a lot about mechanic'ing from him that I still carry on to this day. You are doing Henry a service by having him along and I hope you to have a great time fooling around together! I'm very sure it will be memories he will keep and think about as he goes on through life just like I do. Happy Sunday!
My buddy at work owned a 1956 dodge truck with a flathead six and a almost new triumph 500 motorcycle. He got in trouble with the cops on his motorcycle and his lawyer told him get rid of the bike. My wife at the time wasn'r a big fan of motorcycles so I told her i was buying a truck to haul stuff for our garden. She asked how much and i told her 800.00. She said that sounded ok but i told her he wouldn't sell the truck unless i took the bike. When I brought the old dodge home with the almost new triumph she knew she'd been snookered. I had to rebuild the dodge engine and and the brakes and lots of other stuff but it was a great first truck project. My wife loved that old pickup with all its quirks and I ended up selling it to her dad years later and it became a project for him by that time. Loved my 56 dodge and my triumph. I used to to get old twelve volt batteries off of friends for the truck since it had a 12 volt system but a 6 volt starter with the push down floor button to start it. even a pretty dead 12 volt battery would crank that old pickup right up.
All good reasons Pete, my Dad died young but I have great memories of working and learning this stuff from him and driving him nuts with a million questions ❤
Sometimes we do things because we need to have it done and sometimes we just do something for ourselves and sometimes we do it for for someone else. I had already "guessed" you would end up doing this rebuild. It's fun for you and probably so for Henry. I almost always enjoyed Dad's projects. Not just for the learning, tho I learned a lot, but for the time with him. I wish my Dad and I would have done this. He taught me a lot about cars, plumbing, carpentry and a little about electrical stuff. He worked in a plant and I became a preacher. Didn't use those things on preaching, er-uh, maybe I did. You see, I could better relate to the members who did those things, and I could stretch my budget by doing things myself. I think you're doing great. Enjoy the diversity of things you cover on the channel.
Pete, I am giddy about this series!! I cannot wait for the next episode. Spending this time with your son, on this old truck will never be regretted. I'm a nurse by trade. engines and the human body have a lot in common. My daughter had an accident as a senior in high school (thank God no one was hurt), and her little car has been sitting in our yard for two years. It's nothing "cool" like your old truck, but I loved that car (probably more than her) and I'd love to have it fixed. Maybe I'll just be inspired to do it myself (from your videos!) It's just an '04 VW EOS. It was a great first car for a teenage girl....hard-top convertible, turbo engine. I'd sure love to see it running again. I always love your videos Pete. I feel like your family.
As the transmission falls on the ground, "And that's how you do it!" Pete, I always enjoy your down to earth, just get it done when precision doesn't matter, way of doing things and the running commentary! Looking forward to seeing how far you dive into the cab/body of the truck, I wouldn't do much, but I always think the engine work is the most fun!
I'm having fun watching you work on this Ole truck. I'm sure it holds lots of memories for you. Can't wait to hear it purr again. Would love too see it restored. Lots of history and engineering in the manufacturing of this no doubt.
Hi Pete. I really like the fact that you are rebuilding the original engine and keeping the truck original. I am the same way when it comes to Stationary engines i like to make them as original as possible. Really can't wait for the next video on the truck!😮😅
I grew up hauling square bales of hay on trucks just like this. After we got loaded up,my brother and I would sit on the front fenders straddling the blinker and ride to the barn. Very refreshing to sit in the rush of air as we rode along.
Pete I'm glad your working on it again with Henry I've been watching a few years now I see you doing a full restoration on it it wouldn't be Pete if he didn't looking forward to it thanks again
My Dad never messed with engines , he got his friends to do that. However, he did start a cable TV company and I know how to put telephone poles in the ground and hook up TV's. Thanks for sharing your time with your son!
Love the truck vidoes. Priceless time with Henry. You think you have all the time in the world to spend with your kids then... they are grown and gone with their own families. Enjoy every moment.
Hello Pete, enjoy your time working with your son on this truck. It will be a lot of memory for him for years to come. I know I used to build cars cars, and my son helped me a lot and now he’s on his own and working on his own cars, they learn a lot from hands on experience I love you and your family videos I used to live on fire and I miss it very badly and your farm. I lived on a farm a lot of memories and I miss it very badly
Im anxiously waiting on 856 build but I'm also really excited to see what all you do to get the truck redone . I totally understand having more than one project going at the same time i myself am restoring a super m a 856 a 32 ford 5 window coupe and a 56 chevy bel air and im about half through each its good to be able to take a break sometimes from the project your working on and work on something different. My son is grown and always busy with life and work but my grandsons are helping with my projects and I have bought them each their own projects that we are going to start on soon so i totally understand how precious it is to be making these memories with them.
That was pretty cool to see you get the motor out and the transmission. I can't wait to hear that motor run again. I've got faith in you, Pete, I believe you can get it running again. Won't be long before your driving it around the farm.
Pete, your reason for doing what you're doing is the best reason there is. I got to hang around when my dad would work on one thing or another, and he would give lessons here and there along the way. I lost him when I was only 18. What I wouldn't give to go back there again...
Pete, you and your family are awesome and I've been with you all since video 1. And I love what you do genuinely my friend, and rebuilds are just heaven, especially the way you do it, it takes my anxiety down a few notches when I'm in my shop and that is priceless to me and my family. So with all honor.....Thank you very very very much Pete and Hillary and family , what your doing is making a big difference in the world my friends. And good people are all around and because of good people like you and your family, your helping the real people with real struggles.
I was so happy to see a new video was posted. I'm so grateful you have chosen to share your knowledge with us. Common sense and wisdom from experience. So wonderful to share and so needed in the world today. Thank you!
Grease monkey’s extraordinaire! Yeah, you’ve got to have a CURIOSITY to do what you’re doing. Yes, working along with your son will build memories plus he will learn, and learn well from you. You seem to have a great approach, outlook and attitude in what ever you do. That is a great quality, and rare indeed, these days. Looking forward to just what is a head with this ole truck. I once had an old boyfriend that had an OLD pick up that had a hand crank in the front to get it started. Boy, that was a beast but fun to run! Thanks a lot Pete.
Love it Pete. Doing things the right way. Looking at the engine guts even if it would never have been sized solid. It would have had bad oil pressure and not too long until one of the main bearings would have spun. Than you would be in the very dangerous territory. Right now it's cleaning and seeing what can be saved what not. Clutch looks new and reusable in every way.
I know you are happy that Henry helping and taking a interest ,my son has never took a interest with me except when younger he enjoyed hunting ,you definitely mechanical minded enjoy your videos and say hi to Hillary
Glad to see you working with Henry. This will be a project that he will remember for the rest of his life. Oh, how I wish I could go back in time and share more projects with my dad. Take care.
Im crossing my fingers that you decide to restore this International truck like you do your tractors, it'll be something Henry will Cherish in his later years and it'll be a hit at those International farmall county shows, especially if it's in it's original color schemes, great video Pete & Henry. I'm glad you are passing your knowledge to him, keep up the great content!!
Great way to spend time with your son. I helped my Dad repair a lot of vehicles as a teenager. We didn't really have a choice since we couldn't afford to pay someone to fix cars and trucks. I learned a lot. I also developed a deep hatred of drum brakes!
Great job removing the engine and gear box ,looks like Mr.Henery is taking very good interest in old machinery just like you ,God bless and have a wonderful day
The tractor, truck repair was more of my late hubby’s interest while mine are more animal/garden vids, however like my mom who started watching more sports after my dad died I’ve started to enjoy the repair/restore videos these days. It’s amazing how fantastic your projects look when finished and I’ve enjoyed you working with your son on this project, I do hope you can restore it to its former glory however long it takes, I’ll be watching, lol.
As many times as I have seen you walk or drive by that old truck would I have dreamed your passion to undertake this project be kindled. Henry must have been just the spark to ignite this flame. Money can't buy that satisfaction. I personally would never want to undertake this project, but I'm sure glad you did because I want to see it done, and it's enjoyable to watch. Your camera angles and positioning in tight spaces is superb. Murfreesboro, TN
I enjoy watching these types of projects. I think I mentioned before in the earlier video, my dad had a 1960 International 2 ton we used to haul cord wood to be kilned for charcoal back in the mid 70's. Yours takes me back to those days, which we did do some work on replacing the head. Good luck with the rest of the restoration, I hope all goes well and I know you are enjoying the time with your son during this special time, I did with my dad and with my sons. Have a great day!
At one point I heard you describe yourself as “stubborn.” I believe a more appropriate adjective is “persistent.” Love watching you and Henry working together. I have very fond memories of working with my Dad and brother to rebuild the head from a ‘72 Oldsmobile 350 cu in engine.
I know from experience that that is one heavy transmission. Coming out was not a problem but going back in was a bear. Taking out a crossmember or two actually speeds up things especially when you start going back in. Later on I picked up an old engine,, engine stand, and 2 torque wrenches so my twin girls could tear it down and put it back together using their tools. Now one is a service department manager at a car dealership and the other is a manager at a major brand pet store. Both take care of the maintenance around their houses. Their mother used to make fun of me teaching them "boy stuff". Now she calls them for help. It was a lot of fun working with my daughters as I see you having fun with your son. For me we also got into woodworking which the girls still do. Have fun, remember these good times with your son, jack
When I was a young girl I learned from my dad how to keep my ‘51 Packard running or how to fix things when they quit working. Later my husband and I bought a farm. He became the farmer and I was the mechanic. With lots of old equipment I was busy. If it wasn’t equipment it was the well or electrical problems or plumbing or fixing up the old farmhouse. I think my boys learned something from me and my grandson is too. I’m an old woman now and can’t do much of that stuff anymore but I can sit and enjoy Pete’s videos and my old memories.
Great to get Henry involved. These are times he will always remember for the rest of his life. As we get older, we tend to miss what we called the good old days, and everybody will always have their own set of good old days.
Pete I sure do understand your statement about wanting to do things with your son. I was raised on a 70 cow dairy in nw Pennsylvania and went everywhere with my dad especially when I wasn't in school..Also spent time with my dad's brother and our grandpa all doing our various assignments on the farm. It was a great way to grow up and I wouldn't change anything about it. I think that's why I enjoy your channel so much.
Thats the PERFECT REASON Pete. 👍 cant wait for the next videos. Great to see you are passing on your knowledge and passions. Henry must be having a great time also. Have a great day and keep the wicked videos coming.
Thank you for your videos. I grew up just as my family was stopping farming . Seeing you with your son reminds me of countless evenings and weekends out with my uncle working on the tractors or videos other chores. Looking back I wish I had asked more questions about things. But I didn't. I was a kid. Now I wish so much that I could. Your videos answer so many of the questions about why we did things certain ways, how things work, etc. it even makes me want to go back and see what of the old equipment I could resurrect.
Craig from Lees Summit, Mo……I’m so happy you decided to pull and repair the original block! Custom made pistons, of course! Can’t wait to see all of the future content on this project!
I can't believe you are doing this but I'm so glad you are moving forward. It's so hard to give up on such a nifty vehicle with so much history. I really enjoy watching things like this and I'm so glad you are enjoying it too and that your son is interested in working on and learning about this truck. I loved to watch my dad as he worked on things (he could fix ANYTHING). I know that cost versus need comes into play. Farm folk always measure whether the cost outweighs the value of the auto. I know I keep putting money into a little Ford pickup that belonged to my dad. Just regular maintenance is expensive. I rarely use it and it doesn't really have much value, except to me. I do enjoy driving it around from time to time and it's like a little visit with my dad. The fact that you are enjoying the process and that your son is enjoying it too is everything. I look forward to the rest.
Go for it Pete. Looks good to me. It will be fun to see that block after it has been machined for rebuilding. I look forward to seeing the block all cleaned up. At least it is the overhead valve design and not a flathead.
So well done. I enjoyed every minute of this video and appreciate both the hard work of disassembly and capturing the details in the video. All I could think of as I watched was making an engine tear-down and re-build like this mandatory for Harvard Business School graduates, McKinsey consultants, and the like. The world would be a better place if the overlords knew what it was like to turn a wrench and get oil sludge under their fingernails.
I love six cylinders, plenty of power for the application. That engine is so similar to my 235 but yet so different. Mine has hydraulic valve lifters because it is mated with a Powerglide. The parking brake around the driveshaft, Chrysler did that too but everybody else had the parking brake mechanisms in the rear axles. That is going to be a fabulous truck, I am so glad you are doing this.
So glad you are taking the time to rescue this old International. Very educational as to how differently they built them back in the day. I thought sure a different drive train was the was to go. However this is a great teaching video. Hope you can continue finding all the parts needed.
I always enjoy any of the projects you are working on, Pete. You always make them informational & enjoyable. All of that on top of your normal day to day things, makes very entertaining videos. Thanks as always for sharing.
You're very diplomatic. I'm sure you have a lot of people telling you in the comment section on how easy it would be to pull the motor. Hence the statement "It's not as easy as you might think".
I love that you have undertaking fixing the old teuck. The memories that you and Henry are going to create will be far more worth any money spent on this project. Can't wait to see it finished and to see you 2 take it for a ride. Enjoy the journey.
Pete, I was so pleased to see you working on the truck and to see your son working with you. You can't put a price on that. Quality of life experiences exceed $$$!!
There are several things I love about this video but number 1 for me is that you and your son are doing this together. As I age I sure wish I had spent more time with my Grandfather on projects. I hope that someday my son will get less busy so that we can work on projects together.
Quite the visit This is one of those time where the simple pleasure of guys and grease take the stage. He may not appreciate it now, but your son will treasure these events at some point, that you share those with us is ever appreciated. Did anyone else notice, when o'l Pete squared up on that crankshaft? I'm not sure, but I think I heard a squeak escape. Be Well..

I am glad you decided to take on fixing that old truck. The truck itself may not make economic sense, but memories you create are priceless.
Yes!
Pete's videos, the TED talk for the common man. Thank-you for your inspiration and humour.
Spending time working with your son is the only reason you need. My Daddy is gone now but I have many fond memories of working with him in the past. Enjoy Mr. Pete!
Great project, look forward to seeing it come back to life. Thanks Pete and family for the opportunity to be a part! 🇺🇲💪
The memories you are making for you and your son are worth more than the truck. It’s a win win for the both of you. Can’t wait to see you both taking it for a ride.
A beautiful fall-like morning, a cup of coffee and a new video from Pete. It doesn’t get much better.
Well, maybe it can….. I’m watching the video from my cabin in the mountains.
Whipple
@@Whipple1 - Well now... some people! (that's great!) 😉
@@samvalentine3206 Hahaha. Just couldn’t help myself.
Since you mentioned the coffee with the video, I started having one. You're definitely right! Very enjoyable.
Classic Sunday
WOW! We haven't seem Henry in a while...He's man sized now. Nice work gentlemen.
Time with your son is priceless. I am really enjoying this series!
I am definitely more of a fan of International tractors than I am of International trucks but I am glad that Pete is working on getting this beast running again. It’s also great to see Henry turning wrenches on this project too.
I am looking forward to the next episode on this old truck.
Beautiful to see you work with your son. My son's name was Henry too. That time with family is priceless! ❤
My father and I rebuilt a 1950 dodge pickup with the 6 cyl flathead and 3 on the tree for my first vehicle, I learned a lot about mechanic'ing from him that I still carry on to this day. You are doing Henry a service by having him along and I hope you to have a great time fooling around together! I'm very sure it will be memories he will keep and think about as he goes on through life just like I do.
Happy Sunday!
My buddy at work owned a 1956 dodge truck with a flathead six and a almost new triumph 500 motorcycle. He got in trouble with the cops on his motorcycle and his lawyer told him get rid of the bike.

You have the best reason because you and your son will have time together and fixing or remodeling the truck. Keep up the great videos.

Nice to see Henry helping you out, thanks Pete.
Glad you decided to go forward with this project. I too look for mechanical and woodworking projects to work on with my adult sons and many grandsons.
Hello Pete, enjoy your time working with your son on this truck. It will be a lot of memory for him for years to come. I know I used to build cars cars, and my son helped me a lot and now he’s on his own and working on his own cars, they learn a lot from hands on experience I love you and your family videos I used to live on fire and I miss it very badly and your farm.

It's great to be able to work with your son and be able to teach them things, your doing a great job
That was pretty cool to see you get the motor out and the transmission. I can't wait to hear that motor run again. I've got faith in you, Pete, I believe you can get it running again. Won't be long before your driving it around the farm.
I really enjoy watching your break down and restoration of tractors and it translates well to an old truck
Pete, your reason for doing what you're doing is the best reason there is. I got to hang around when my dad would work on one thing or another, and he would give lessons here and there along the way. I lost him when I was only 18. What I wouldn't give to go back there again...
Loving every minute of of this project! Can’t wait to see it develop. I would love to see a “JUST A FEW ACRES” logo on the cab doors when finished!
Pete, you and your family are awesome and I've been with you all since video 1. And I love what you do genuinely my friend, and rebuilds are just heaven, especially the way you do it, it takes my anxiety down a few notches when I'm in my shop and that is priceless to me and my family. So with all honor.....Thank you very very very much Pete and Hillary and family , what your doing is making a big difference in the world my friends.

Well glad to see you pulled the motor. To modify a phrase, if the only tool you have's a tractor, everything you see is a plow.
Love it Pete. Doing things the right way. Looking at the engine guts even if it would never have been sized solid. It would have had bad oil pressure and not too long until one of the main bearings would have spun. Than you would be in the very dangerous territory.

Glad to see you working with Henry. This will be a project that he will remember for the rest of his life. Oh, how I wish I could go back in time and share more projects with my dad. Take care.
Brings back memories of tearing apart an engine with my Dad. He's still going strong!
Im crossing my fingers that you decide to restore this International truck like you do your tractors, it'll be something Henry will Cherish in his later years and it'll be a hit at those International farmall county shows, especially if it's in it's original color schemes, great video Pete & Henry. I'm glad you are passing your knowledge to him, keep up the great content!!
The steam work shop will be very happy now. And yes it a good quality time with young Henry
Hello Mr Pete. I'm glad you decided to rebuild that engine.
Your son will always remember the time you spent together...
As his cross to bear as a youth....
@@SeattlePioneer It sounds as if you didn't have a good time of it growing up.
I hope you can come to terms with it. Be well
Most important thing when raising children... Time spent with them.

Yes!
Great way to spend time with your son. I helped my Dad repair a lot of vehicles as a teenager. We didn't really have a choice since we couldn't afford to pay someone to fix cars and trucks. I learned a lot. I also developed a deep hatred of drum brakes!
Just dawned on me, These videos are a great record you can use to help put it all back together! Dual purpose. Smart.

Watching you now Pete for the last few years . At 56 years old I know want to be a farmer and a Mechanic. Thank you
At 80, I just want to be 56!
I enjoy watching these types of projects.

Love that you're gonna keep it original. That's purely your style. And your right Henry will remember this forever.
At one point I heard you describe yourself as “stubborn.” I believe a more appropriate adjective is “persistent.” Love watching you and Henry working together. I have very fond memories of working with my Dad and brother to rebuild the head from a ‘72 Oldsmobile 350 cu in engine.
Wow Pete so many parts it’s amazing you can put this all back,great video,great to see Henry working with you.
Henry is fearless and smart. The two of you will have some nice times and memories.
Pete, glad you decided to get the engine running on the truck, I'm looking forward to future videos.
Nice seeing you working in your project with your son. 👍
I know from experience that that is one heavy transmission. Coming out was not a problem but going back in was a bear. Taking out a crossmember or two actually speeds up things especially when you start going back in.
Later on I picked up an old engine,, engine stand, and 2 torque wrenches so my twin girls could tear it down and put it back together using their tools. Now one is a service department manager at a car dealership and the other is a manager at a major brand pet store. Both take care of the maintenance around their houses. Their mother used to make fun of me teaching them "boy stuff". Now she calls them for help.
It was a lot of fun working with my daughters as I see you having fun with your son. For me we also got into woodworking which the girls still do.
Have fun, remember these good times with your son,

When I was a young girl I learned from my dad how to keep my ‘51 Packard running or how to fix things when they quit working. Later my husband and I bought a farm. He became the farmer and I was the mechanic. With lots of old equipment I was busy. If it wasn’t equipment it was the well or electrical problems or plumbing or fixing up the old farmhouse. I think my boys learned something from me and my grandson is too. I’m an old woman now and can’t do much of that stuff anymore but I can sit and enjoy Pete’s videos and my old memories.
Great to get Henry involved. These are times he will always remember for the rest of his life. As we get older, we tend to miss what we called the good old days, and everybody will always have their own set of good old days.
You don't give yourself enough credit. Seems that your priorities here are right where they ought to be. Truly enjoy your content. Thank you.
Love watching old motors come back to life.
Pete I sure do understand your statement about wanting to do things with your son. I was raised on a 70 cow dairy in nw Pennsylvania and went everywhere with my dad especially when I wasn't in school..Also spent time with my dad's brother and our grandpa all doing our various assignments on the farm. It was a great way to grow up and I wouldn't change anything about it. I think that's why I enjoy your channel so much.
Pete, other than great memories with Henry, the content on this project will be epic. Cannot wait to go with you on this journey. !!!
Thats the PERFECT REASON Pete. 👍 cant wait for the next videos. Great to see you are passing on your knowledge and passions. Henry must be having a great time also. Have a great day and keep the wicked videos coming.
Thank you for your videos. I grew up just as my family was stopping farming . Seeing you with your son reminds me of countless evenings and weekends out with my uncle working on the tractors or videos other chores. Looking back I wish I had asked more questions about things. But I didn't. I was a kid. Now I wish so much that I could. Your videos answer so many of the questions about why we did things certain ways, how things work, etc. it even makes me want to go back and see what of the old equipment I could resurrect.
I really like these old trucks I'm glad you are trying to get her running again!
I enjoyed it also Pete. Thanks for sharing
Craig from Lees Summit, Mo……I’m so happy you decided to pull and repair the original block! Custom made pistons, of course!
Can’t wait to see all of the future content on this project!
Really glad to see you decided to give the old girl a chance for a new life.
It's great to see father son time. Great video
I can't believe you are doing this but I'm so glad you are moving forward. It's so hard to give up on such a nifty vehicle with so much history. I really enjoy watching things like this and I'm so glad you are enjoying it too and that your son is interested in working on and learning about this truck. I loved to watch my dad as he worked on things (he could fix ANYTHING). I know that cost versus need comes into play. Farm folk always measure whether the cost outweighs the value of the auto. I know I keep putting money into a little Ford pickup that belonged to my dad. Just regular maintenance is expensive. I rarely use it and it doesn't really have much value, except to me. I do enjoy driving it around from time to time and it's like a little visit with my dad. The fact that you are enjoying the process and that your son is enjoying it too is everything. I look forward to the rest.
The legendary Pete
Keep it up as we all enjoy it around the globe.
The value is the time you spend with your son here Pete as you well know. Great video.
Go for it Pete. Looks good to me. It will be fun to see that block after it has been machined for rebuilding. I look forward to seeing the block all cleaned up. At least it is the overhead valve design and not a flathead.
So well done. I enjoyed every minute of this video and appreciate both the hard work of disassembly and capturing the details in the video. All I could think of as I watched was making an engine tear-down and re-build like this mandatory for Harvard Business School graduates, McKinsey consultants, and the like. The world would be a better place if the overlords knew what it was like to turn a wrench and get oil sludge under their fingernails.
I love six cylinders, plenty of power for the application. That engine is so similar to my 235 but yet so different. Mine has hydraulic valve lifters because it is mated with a Powerglide. The parking brake around the driveshaft, Chrysler did that too but everybody else had the parking brake mechanisms in the rear axles. That is going to be a fabulous truck, I am so glad you are doing this.
Awesome father and son working together. Take care.
So glad you are taking the time to rescue this old International. Very educational as to how differently they built them back in the day. I thought sure a different drive train was the was to go. However this is a great teaching video. Hope you can continue finding all the parts needed.
I always enjoy any of the projects you are working on, Pete. You always make them informational & enjoyable. All of that on top of your normal day to day things, makes very entertaining videos. Thanks as always for sharing.
You're very diplomatic. I'm sure you have a lot of people telling you in the comment section on how easy it would be to pull the motor. Hence the statement "It's not as easy as you might think".
Very nice work Pete and Henry! Love being a part of the process. Kids grow up too fast, so definitely enjoy your time together.
Those are the best reasons to do something Pete. life's short, stop and shade tree mechanic! Take care!
I love that you have undertaking fixing the old teuck. The memories that you and Henry are going to create will be far more worth any money spent on this project. Can't wait to see it finished and to see you 2 take it for a ride. Enjoy the journey.
Pete, I was so pleased to see you working on the truck and to see your son working with you. You can't put a price on that. Quality of life experiences exceed $$$!!
I like the questions your son asks and then the answers you give make it's more interesting
Very glad you decided to tackle the ole IH. Look forward to the complete rebuild and run
There are several things I love about this video but number 1 for me is that you and your son are doing this together. As I age I sure wish I had spent more time with my Grandfather on projects. I hope that someday my son will get less busy so that we can work on projects together.
There is nothing better than working with a son. Pure happiness. Should I could!!! Thank you for all.
I am always impressed with your knowledge and skills.
Thanks Pete, I am enjoying watching you work on this engine.
Pete this is going to be a great project. I can't wait to see what final Direction it ends up taking. I'm sure whichever route it goes will be amazing
I’m so glad y’all are going further into this truck. Can’t wait for more videos to come out.
Quite the visit This is one of those time where the simple pleasure of guys and grease take the stage. He may not appreciate it now, but your son will treasure these events at some point, that you share those with us is ever appreciated. Did anyone else notice, when o'l Pete squared up on that crankshaft? I'm not sure, but I think I heard a squeak escape. Be Well..
I am so happy you are doing this. Thank you. I can't wait to hear it run....
