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.
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.
I may be a woman, but I have a tremendous appreciation for restoring and taking care of things. I came from that era. The closeness of family. That's a wonderful feeling. 😊😊😊
That 'era' is what is really missed and it will never return. Sad that so many will never get to enjoy & remember times like that. I'm certainly glad that I can.
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 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!
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.
Nothing better than working with your son !!! Henry will talk about these days when he's telling stories around the campfire !!! Cherish these moments !
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.
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 have 3 sons and 1 daughter. At 66 years old I value every moment with each and every one of them.6 grandkids only adds to the glory. Thanks for sharing my friend. Look forward to many more.
Too bad viewers can only give one like to each of your videos! All your videos, mechanical or day to day farm chores are very well presented to the viewers. I have learnt so much from you through your videos . Thank you for showing and sharing your family's life on your farm with everyone! Can't wait to see the next video.
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.
I remember doing that kind of work. Very hard on the back and neck. Working on a tractor is much easier! I love waking up to see Pete posted a new video. No politics, just entertaining. Thanks for that!!! ❤😊
I grew up holding the flashlight for my father and later for my brother-girls weren’t allowed to wrench. I learned a lot more than they expected as I’m a visual learner. Watching you tear down the motor is super interesting and brought back some good memories. The nicest part is knowing I could and now knowing I don’t have to. No more skinned knuckles or broken nails for me! It is exciting to see you doing it though, really! Thank you. Great to see Henry involved, it will serve him well.
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.
When you enjoy the project(s) it shows in the positive and realistic assessment. It's great to see the kids, now young adults. Family Farming a memory of mine. 66 years ago. Lots of memories, even with the attack rooster and the wandering heifers..
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.
Getting to spend some time with your son is probably the most important reason of all. I learned that from my dad who did the same with me outside and in a garage as well. Couldn't ask for anything better on a nice, beautiful afternoon. My son passed away 7 years ago and he loved working on anything that consumed fuel of any kind and boy did we put in the hours turning wrenches. My youngest son has no interest at all in that life (he's all grown up and gone on his own now) and now I just sit in my garage dreaming up projects to do on things that I know I'll never do again. I spend my days BBQing for my wife and I now. Cherish each and every one of these days that you can! They are simply the best! We don't know what we got until it's gone.
Boys never grow up. I like taking things apart and sometimes happy when they go back together or not. Lots of fun seeing it done. I'm 75 and never get tired of seeing any of this. Cheers from Edmonton Alberta.
The joy of doing this type of mchanical work is a great motivator. More things are dicussed over a engine rebuild than around a diner table. I love to see the finished truck in a oldies parade to remind us how things were in the past.
Glad you are doing this one. We see lots of restored cars but trucks are rare. I love old farm trucks. Brings back memories of my grandpa's old '49 Ford flathead V8 pickup and bouncing along dusty gravel roads.
I'm very excited to hear the old truck running and its always great to see father and son working together on projects great memories are made that way.
In addition to your excellent farm management skills, your mechanical skills are of equal high value, KUDOS! The most amazing part of this disassembly is that all the fasteners came apart with normal tools and no extraordinary efforts. No torches, big hammers, grinders, drills, nut splitters, chisels, or other implements of destruction. External grease and oils maybe one of the supporting factors.
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!
Had a 53 120, back around 77 and had to put in a clutch, laid the trans on my chest and lifted it up and slid right in! Good thing because I didn’t think I could do that twice. This trucks didn’t corner the best but they could haul their weight and then some.
I certainly understand the allure of doing this project with your son, we lost our son when he was quite young and this was always one of my dreams. Thank you so much for sharing this special time with us.
You and Henry are doing good work, and your sharing this time under the shade tree is priceless. And so will be the sound of the International when she fires up. This is great therapy for us all.
I jikr that Henry was involved in the engine removal. That is great for him to bond with you and spend quality time doing things together. Great video. Thank you Pete.
This is my favorite Just a Few Acres Farm video so. Father and son working together. Have a 17 year old son that I love doing projects with. Thank You.
All 3 of my sons and I worked.on our cars. Helps them learn, to care for their own cars. Saves money, makes them smarter, brings us closer. Loved that time we had together!!!
Hey Pete.....you seem to be more positive than before. I like videos where father and son are working together on a project. Great video....I can hardly wait to see more progress. Thanks for sharing this.
So glad that you decided to move forward with the truck engine and that Henry gets to help. You'll both have great memories of working together on this project.
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.
Watching Henry work on the truck reminds me of when i was a freshman in high school changing engines in a IH K3 pickup, nice to see young people interested in the hobby of older machines, thanks for sharing with us and especially with Henry
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.
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.
Well Pete, I'm working on my 65 F350 dump truck. Picked it up exactly a year ago and have most of the difficult work done. I'm a "restore to function" kind of guy. The reason I do what I do is so I can drive and use them as they were intended. I lost my son to cancer 13 years ago and miss him every day. Enjoy the time with your's. It can be so brief!
What a Great way to spend time with your son. When you're done with this engine Henry might be one of the only young persons his age to know how and why a combustion engine works and how to rebuild it. You are making great memories and educating your son at the same time. Way to go Pete! 💪👍
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
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.
I spent so many hours in our home shop with my dad(professional mechanic)growing up! You are giving Henry memories and skills that will last a lifetime. I did the same with my boys and I’m watching my oldest(professional mechanic) do the same with his 3 boys. We lost my youngest to a motorcycle wreck two years ago, but he had already started teaching our granddaughter her way around the tool box! You’re building or I guess I should say, continuing the legacy that your grandad started so long ago Pete. Thank you for sharing your journey in this life with your family with all of us!
Watching you work on that transmission. brought me back to 1959, and my lying on my back taking a transmission out of my 1951 Pontiac, out in the back lot of a car dealership where I bought the car for peanuts. it was my 2nd car I was 16 yr old had no clue what I was doing? but the car needed another tranny so we did, we learned we earned our bones back then. this brought back so many memories thanks for making this old man happy again Pete. loved every single second at the best part! it was with Henry. got three sons so know how you felt. thanks for sharing. ECF
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 ❤
Pete, the smile on your face says it all.... and it is great to see your son digging right in on this project.... He seemed a bit reluctant on past videos so it looks like he is gaining confidence.
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!
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 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.
i AM AMAZED AT HOW NICELY THE BOLTS ALL CAME OUT FOR SOMETHING SITTING THAT LONG, GREAT BREAK THERE... IT COULD HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE IF THEY WERE ALL SEIZED UP...
Mr. Pete. Thank you for walking through the steps with the viewers. I really enjoy your videos. Also kudos for using the truck to have special time with your son.
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 appreciate what you do. The time spent with your son are memories he will cherish forever. He may not realize that now but someday when he’s my age he’ll think back on these times. I lost my father in 2018 and often reflect on the times we spent on those special projects. Great work on the videos and keep up the good work. I’m restoring a 1965 International D1100 pickup that I found in a barn in Mathis, Texas. It was great meeting you in Nebraska a couple of years ago. Hope to see you again someday.
good job working on the truck. great videos!! you and Hil do real good. need the jokes!! vids not complete without that. really enjoy how you make old things new. tractors, house, farm, truck, etc.....keep up the great work!!
Very interesting video! Thank You! I know it's not easy filming all these videos.......... I appreciate it a lot. It's great to see Henry working along side you and learning. That's precious time spent with him.
Good morning Pete, Hillary, and Henry, who is tall like my son. Also the girls, and farm. Totally enjoying and loving this project. Thank you as always blessed day and week❤.
This is really awesome for me little year ago I bought a 1953 international L1 20 series and the motor was stuck but I got it freed up but your truck is so similar to mine. Great learning experience for me. Thank you.
Spending time with your son and enjoying working on a project together is the best reason and really doesn’t need an explanation. I’m enjoying watching. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning, Pete and Henry! I almost expected the engine to be stubborn after problems with that piston. Glad it all came apart easily. From what I saw, everything looks right for a great running engine. Thanks!
Pete. Thanks for taking the time and interest to include this IH truck rebuild project in your variety of topics covered on this channel. Who knows... this might make a great project for you and your son. Also, no doubt, you will find a way to repurpose this truck for farm and market use. An excellent way to continue building your farm brand. Thanks again.
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.
Pete thanks for taking on this IH project. We had a IH dealer back home and all the farmers drove them. Keep up the good work. I will not miss a minute of the job. Thanks. Rob
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!
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
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!
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.
@@joecaner
Yes!
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.
Great project, look forward to seeing it come back to life. Thanks Pete and family for the opportunity to be a part! 🇺🇲💪
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!
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!

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 may be a woman, but I have a tremendous appreciation for restoring and taking care of things. I came from that era. The closeness of family. That's a wonderful feeling. 😊😊😊
That 'era' is what is really missed and it will never return. Sad that so many will never get to enjoy & remember times like that. I'm certainly glad that I can.
Lovely!

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.
Henry is fearless and smart. The two of you will have some nice times and memories.
Love that you're gonna keep it original. That's purely your style. And your right Henry will remember this forever.
Nothing better than working with your son !!!
Henry will talk about these days when he's telling stories around the campfire !!!
Cherish these moments !

I am always impressed with your knowledge and skills.
I have 3 sons and 1 daughter. At 66 years old I value every moment with each and every one of them.6 grandkids only adds to the glory. Thanks for sharing my friend. Look forward to many more.

I am in awe of anyone who undertakes such a projects and says, "Pretty simple!"
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.

Very nice work Pete and Henry! Love being a part of the process. Kids grow up too fast, so definitely enjoy your time together.
Key point in this whole adventure, "Spending time with your son, making memories"! Kudos Pete!

Cherish each and every one of these days that you can! They are simply the best! We don't know what we got until it's gone.
I think Pete will find himself using the truck more often than not around the farm once it's back together. I look forward to this truck being reborn.
Parades😊
Really glad to see you decided to give the old girl a chance for a new life.
Boys never grow up. I like taking things apart and sometimes happy when they go back together or not. Lots of fun seeing it done. I'm 75 and never get tired of seeing any of this. Cheers from Edmonton Alberta.

The legendary Pete
Keep it up as we all enjoy it around the globe.
I'm very excited to hear the old truck running and its always great to see father and son working together on projects great memories are made that way.
Pete I'm glad you are moving ahead on the truck. You were on the fence for awhile. It will be a memory for Henry his entire life. Russ from Montana.
I enjoyed it also Pete. Thanks for sharing
Your son is so fortunate. I remember with fondness my times with Dad and Granddad. I learned huge amount from Uncle Horace too.
Henry is truly blessed to have you as his instructor... indeed, his mentor!!
In addition to your excellent farm management skills, your mechanical skills are of equal high value, KUDOS! The most amazing part of this disassembly is that all the fasteners came apart with normal tools and no extraordinary efforts. No torches, big hammers, grinders, drills, nut splitters, chisels, or other implements of destruction. External grease and oils maybe one of the supporting factors.
As the transmission falls on the ground, "And that's how you do it!"

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!
Had a 53 120, back around 77 and had to put in a clutch, laid the trans on my chest and lifted it up and slid right in! Good thing because I didn’t think I could do that twice. This trucks didn’t corner the best but they could haul their weight and then some.
I think it's fantastic. I absolutely love it. And I can't wait to hear it run. Making some beautiful memories with your son
Henry and Mr Pete thank you for the step back in time. When things were made to last. A time that y'all will remember for ever.
I certainly understand the allure of doing this project with your son, we lost our son when he was quite young and this was always one of my dreams. Thank you so much for sharing this special time with us.
It doesn't get any better. Multiple projects, working with his son and having fun ! Thank you Pete for Sharin😊g !
You and Henry are doing good work, and your sharing this time under the shade tree is priceless. And so will be the sound of the International when she fires up. This is great therapy for us all.
I jikr that Henry was involved in the engine removal. That is great for him to bond with you and spend quality time doing things together. Great video. Thank you Pete.
This is my favorite Just a Few Acres Farm video so. Father and son working together. Have a 17 year old son that I love doing projects with.
Thank You.
All 3 of my sons and I worked.on our cars. Helps them learn, to care for their own cars. Saves money, makes them smarter, brings us closer. Loved that time we had together!!!
I can't wait to hear it run! Nice to see Henry again!.... he's grown up to be a fine young man. Thanks Pete for sharing.
Hey Pete.....you seem to be more positive than before. I like videos where father and son are working together on a project. Great video....I can hardly wait to see more progress. Thanks for sharing this.
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.
So glad that you decided to move forward with the truck engine and that Henry gets to help. You'll both have great memories of working together on this project.
What a beast of an engine, back when they made stuff to last a lifetime and then some. Nice to see an old IH truck being brought back to life, Thanks!
Hey Pete and Henry . Glad you decided to move forward on getting in running together. Looking forward to more on this project. Thanks guys . 👍
".....she's got a lot of rust-proofing on 'er...." No Doubt! Enjoyed the video (just glad it wasn't me doin' it....)
Great to see you and your son working on the truck it’ll be something he cherishes for years.
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.
Watching Henry work on the truck reminds me of when i was a freshman in high school changing engines in a IH K3 pickup, nice to see young people interested in the hobby of older machines, thanks for sharing with us and especially with Henry
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.
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.
Brings back memories of tearing apart an engine with my Dad. He's still going strong!
Well Pete, I'm working on my 65 F350 dump truck. Picked it up exactly a year ago and have most of the difficult work done. I'm a "restore to function" kind of guy. The reason I do what I do is so I can drive and use them as they were intended. I lost my son to cancer 13 years ago and miss him every day. Enjoy the time with your's. It can be so brief!
Thanks Pete, I really enjoy watching you work on your hobbies. Thanks again for taking us along.
What a Great way to spend time with your son. When you're done with this engine Henry might be one of the only young persons his age to know how and why a combustion engine works and how to rebuild it. You are making great memories and educating your son at the same time. Way to go Pete! 💪👍
i will be glad to see that baby running
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
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.
I spent so many hours in our home shop with my dad(professional mechanic)growing up! You are giving Henry memories and skills that will last a lifetime. I did the same with my boys and I’m watching my oldest(professional mechanic) do the same with his 3 boys. We lost my youngest to a motorcycle wreck two years ago, but he had already started teaching our granddaughter her way around the tool box! You’re building or I guess I should say, continuing the legacy that your grandad started so long ago Pete. Thank you for sharing your journey in this life with your family with all of us!
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.
Watching you work on that transmission. brought me back to 1959, and my lying on my back taking a transmission out of my 1951 Pontiac, out in the back lot of a car dealership where I bought the car for peanuts. it was my 2nd car I was 16 yr old had no clue what I was doing? but the car needed another tranny so we did, we learned we earned our bones back then. this brought back so many memories thanks for making this old man happy again Pete. loved every single second at the best part! it was with Henry. got three sons so know how you felt. thanks for sharing. ECF
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 ❤
Pete, the smile on your face says it all.... and it is great to see your son digging right in on this project.... He seemed a bit reluctant on past videos so it looks like he is gaining confidence.
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!
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 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.
i AM AMAZED AT HOW NICELY THE BOLTS ALL CAME OUT FOR SOMETHING SITTING THAT LONG, GREAT BREAK THERE... IT COULD HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE IF THEY WERE ALL SEIZED UP...
Mr. Pete. Thank you for walking through the steps with the viewers. I really enjoy your videos. Also kudos for using the truck to have special time with your son.
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 appreciate what you do. The time spent with your son are memories he will cherish forever. He may not realize that now but someday when he’s my age he’ll think back on these times. I lost my father in 2018 and often reflect on the times we spent on those special projects. Great work on the videos and keep up the good work. I’m restoring a 1965 International D1100 pickup that I found in a barn in Mathis, Texas. It was great meeting you in Nebraska a couple of years ago. Hope to see you again someday.
good job working on the truck. great videos!! you and Hil do real good. need the jokes!! vids not complete without that. really enjoy how you make old things new. tractors, house, farm, truck, etc.....keep up the great work!!
Very interesting video! Thank You! I know it's not easy filming all these videos.......... I appreciate it a lot. It's great to see Henry working along side you and learning. That's precious time spent with him.
Good morning Pete, Hillary, and Henry, who is tall like my son. Also the girls, and farm. Totally enjoying and loving this project. Thank you as always blessed day and week❤.
This is really awesome for me little year ago I bought a 1953 international L1 20 series and the motor was stuck but I got it freed up but your truck is so similar to mine. Great learning experience for me. Thank you.
Spending time with your son and enjoying working on a project together is the best reason and really doesn’t need an explanation. I’m enjoying watching. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning, Pete and Henry!
I almost expected the engine to be stubborn after problems with that piston. Glad it all came apart easily. From what I saw, everything looks right for a great running engine.
Thanks!
Pete. Thanks for taking the time and interest to include this IH truck rebuild project in your variety of topics covered on this channel. Who knows... this might make a great project for you and your son. Also, no doubt, you will find a way to repurpose this truck for farm and market use. An excellent way to continue building your farm brand. Thanks again.
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.
Great video!
Loved see Henry working with you.....
Time with your children is very precious💜
Pete thanks for taking on this IH project. We had a IH dealer back home and all the farmers drove them. Keep up the good work. I will not miss a minute of the job. Thanks. Rob
