I just LOVE that the whole family is involved and together, not to mention willing victi....um....participants. That's rare and wonderful in our day and time which gives us hope.
So glad Derek brought us along on another adventure with Tommy, Crane and the little humans that they are responsible for. The old Deere is running and mowing again.
Grew up with a dad who was a JD salesman. I cried when I saw that HF engine. BTW just a little further up the family tree was the 318 which is probably one of John Deere's all time greats in the Lawn and Garden arena. A 318 would actually be a collectable.
It's stupid how moronic people are that will put a worthless ass bottom of the barrel chinese engine from harbor shit in there and be completely clueless as to why the mower doesnt run right and then stops working. its not hard to rebuild the original engine that you broke.
Oh yeah, used to have one of those. Very similar to the 316, had a BEEFY deck on 'er. Had to get it welded a couple times, the welder/farmer I took it to was an International guy. Quite jealous of that heavy deck.
@@justinbevier8231there definitely is, they’re Chinese junk. You can’t beat the original engine that would of been in it, I have a collection of garden tractors and each ones got a replacement engine I wish I can find an original
A couple weeks ago a guy was mowin along just fine, till the beltalater that runs the knife whirler make it happeners decided it had enough... Thats fine. So I did the right thing and had a couple cold snacks instead.
I have a 61 falcon 6 cylinder, ruined diff. What's special about it is that I gave it to my niece Cathy who was going to school to be a tech having to do with nascar. Loved racing and race cars, planned on fixing it. Before graduating she was diagnosed with cancer. She did graduate but the cancer took her shortly after. I can still get on her Facebook page and see the pictures, some have the falcon. There are drag racing pics, one of the cars reminded me of Tom's camaro. I don't have the means to do much with it, just sinking into the ground. If you could help it become a race car, I only ask its somehow dedicated to her. Thanks for all the videos Derek
That Chinese terra cotta art comment deserves a channel!!!! Derek you’ve been challenged and a guy can’t wait to expand his horizons gettin properly learnt up on Chinese terra cotta.
The little blonde cutie at 3:30 is just what you and Jessica need, A baby sister for the boys and a daughter to keep you on your toes. Keep the videos coming and thank you for making my day a little brighter with your humor.
This explains soooo much. Derrick, you have risen far from your very humble beginnings. Without dying. Acetylene to distance from fire ratio is obviously critical knowledge on the old homestead.
Holy Hannah....didn't know you had another cold snack channel...now it's just right up my ally...you're awesome....and the kids will eventually get some laughs tryin that hill on the cycles....
I'm really glad I found this channel - Great stuff! I was kinda surprised that you went with the plug after the second puncture in the tire...I was thinking, one hole to let the air out, and one to let it back in again. Should be fine. Keep up the great work! All the best to you and the family!
we've got a late 70's deere lawn tractor. Picked it up from a lady on FB for $150. Thing runs great. Has the original Kholer engine still, came with rear tiller, electric lift, and we just grabbed plow for it recently. terrific tractors. Going to do a full restore on it one day.
I've been a subscriber to your main channel for a long time, and I'm really enjoying this complimentary channel so far. Looking forward to when you do some cooking-based videos :)
Thanks. We still have our JD 322 we bought new in 1988. At one point about 10 years ago I got on, turned the key, and nothing happened. I parked it and there it sits. This video has given me the enthusiasm to get it running again. Oh, it was very reliable except for the mower deck - it loved to throw belts, even when new. PITA job to replace them. Even the dealer was baffled.
I hit that submarine button and even vibrated the bell over there, on this sneaker of a chan. Looks like the farmstead has hours of random content. Keep at it!
Had one of the first one of those!! My dad bought it for me when I was a kid, so I could mow the several acres we lived on. Spent hundreds of hours of my life on that machine. Hydrostatic was a game changer! Onan twin ran forever!!
Deere made great garden tractors back in that era. This 316 is pretty similar to the 318. I still have a 318 myself that I have a 50 inch mower and the model 49 snow thrower for, it's a great machine. Still going nearly 30 years later. Hold on to that 316, they are built like tanks.
Hey Derek, Pro tip: When trying to do a tire plug...lube up the hole reamer with some rubber cement glue, it'll go in super easy then. Same with the plug or "worm", once you have it threaded into the insertion tool, lube that up and in she goes!
Another option is to just chuck up a 1/4 inch drill bit and drill out the hole. Still a snug fit for the plug but way easier for me than a reemer. I've been doing it that way for ages on my stuff. And even in a 10 ply that gets the full trail and highway treatment they have never once let go on me
The old 316 👌 back in 85 we went with the 318 since it had power steering and 4 way angle for the plow , still have it, she's getting a little tired but still cuts the lawn weekly
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! Thank you Derek, family, and friends for showing us what's been a dying breed of "Americana!" "Low Life High Life go let's go!" "Down to Derek's farm where I wanna grow old!" "Take us DOWN, Derek!" That tune was playing in a fellers head while another feller was out ridin' fence!
Derek if we didnt have works in progress life would be boring. Pretty cool tractor. Hope u have loads of fun w it and make many memories. Love your channel. Thanks for all the tips .
Of course it will run again it's a John Deere where I'm from is still common to see hundred-year-old John Deere tractors still in use by their proud owners of course I live in Iowa
I’ve never owned anything but a John Deere mower from a 112 to 114 to 312 to 316 to my current 728 x treme. The best part been mowing for 41 years . Well my 3 children used the 316 way more than I. They are all grown up and the two girls don’t mow any more and the boy well he or his bride can push mow in fifteen minutes but it is with a John Deere. Nothing runs like a Deere and we will pretend we never heard the part about smells like a …….. Erik I’m with y’all on yet another channel.
A guy just hooked his peepers on that 1086, what a classic old iron you guys got there. Need more viders on them there red 1's. I may be a gamin channels but i know how to work on them old red irons.....
Awesome! Derek I bought a JD 332 which has a 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel in it. They are the toughest garden tractors ever made. Hydraulics etc. Lots of accessories for them, but they're getting hard to find parts for. Should be easy for you to get running and fix it up. 👏👏👏🤠😎🥃🥃🥃🤙🤪💯
I used one on my summer job 40 hrs a week three summers a row three months a year. Most durable badass lawn mower ever made. The 316 is God's preferred lawn mower. I'd love to own one like this. Not many around
Had a ol John Deere that smoked more than a coal mine on fire but it was free. Tires on the front were dry rotted but still had good tread. A feller thought to himself “why spend $60 on new tires when you can spend $30 and buy some Slime and patch them”. Welp the slime worked a charm for over a year
Well I'll be dipped, I like it when the youtubes suggest new vice grip videos on a new channel 👌 I'm all caught up on the other channel and will be caught up on this one in just a bit haha
Derek could start a channel dedicated to ancient Chinese terra cotta pottery and I would still subscribe.
Dont give him any ideas lol!
I'd watch it
Yep. Uh huh. You bet.
a guy knows how to make things more interestin n watchable dont cha know
Chi naa potter ray😉
That's a Mowin' To Town Rig right there.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ha!
What you did there, I saw it
My neighbor use to ride his mower everywhere. I mean he would go to the gas station for gas and beer or cold snacks
Haha YES!
Not Sure How A Fella Stumbled onto This Channel, But I Just Can’t Get Enough VGG !
agreed
Another VGG channel?
Well, I'll be dipped! 🔧
UA-cam literally jsut recommended it to me, at first I thought someone was reuploading VGG then I found it's real and I'm thrilled.
Is this way to much Derek? ... No is not
@@alejandroantonioli5769 Way too much is just perfect!
I just LOVE that the whole family is involved and together, not to mention willing victi....um....participants. That's rare and wonderful in our day and time which gives us hope.
I can't get enough of any of this both channels make my life, drags me right out of all depression and i ant kindin ya like right now!!!!!!
I can totally relate. This feller has a way of getting a guy up and motivated 👌
I also find VGG a good depression fixer exercise also a great remedy ✊
Does the same for me.
Look at those little ones running around the farm it warms the heart like a gasoline fire warms the shop building.
Don't stop reminding us of what makes this country work.
I'm not sure what I'm watching here. But it's that VGG guy. So we will just hit the ole subscribe button and see what else he offers us. 🦅🇺🇸✌️
OMG, "Should we move that acetylene closer, or is it good there?"
That was my favorite too. Lol.
So glad Derek brought us along on another adventure with Tommy, Crane and the little humans that they are responsible for. The old Deere is running and mowing again.
I know I’m not the only one who saw that Scout. That’s cool.
Puddin would love it.
I was gonna say, I'd like to see a series of it being restored. I love those IH's.

Nothing wrong with the predator engine.

Well, who knew there was a whole other channel?!? It just popped up outta nowhere! Clicked all the buttons so now we're good.
Never thought your videos could get any better, until they did
My grandpa has a 318, was the first mower a young fella learned to drive. This is kind of a special video for me. Keep up the work
That blue international is a pretty cool lookin rig! 🙂
I noticed that, too. Still running and useful!! Love to see something about it.
J Tuck - My friend used to have one with a 345. Sweet little rig.
I noticed the scout also I had a couple years ago and should’ve never gotten rid of them
Am I the only one who sees Derek and his adventures as a more mechanical and refined version of the Red Green show?
A fella just found out about the lodge I'll be dipped. Keep it up vice grip
I'm not sure what I enjoy more, the garage or the lodge. Love all the content!!!
ZIP TIES ON THE CHAIR !!!! Brother Vice Grip is my new hero.
A fella almost fell on the floor when you said “ that escalated quickly to a frame off restoration “!
Your killin me smalls! 😂😂😂
How did a guy miss this?!?! Thank you 'recommended for you'! Love this guys!
What a lovely family campfire. So glad everyone gets to be part of the fun.
Love how he stands up and stops working well you were looking
I enjoyed this. I love you other channel but Im in love with simple machines that need basic needs. Farm life is the backbone of this country
These are the type videos I like. Not tire spinning, or racing.
A couple weeks ago a guy was mowin along just fine, till the beltalater that runs the knife whirler make it happeners decided it had enough... Thats fine. So I did the right thing and had a couple cold snacks instead.
Just found this channel! How did I not know? SUBSCRIBED!!!!

Older riders from the 80s are the cats @ss.
Made of some substance called metal.
Love em.
That Chinese terra cotta art comment deserves a channel!!!! Derek you’ve been challenged and a guy can’t wait to expand his horizons gettin properly learnt up on Chinese terra cotta.
Graduation on your new channel I hope you have great success for everything you do buddy
I was just going to message about the air freshener when you did the right thing!! Great show.
"I need to get this old JD mower running and drive it 100 miles."
Yep, he and Alvin Straight!
Sounds like a great idea
"Nope."
The little blonde cutie at 3:30 is just what you and Jessica need, A baby sister for the boys and a daughter to keep you on your toes. Keep the videos coming and thank you for making my day a little brighter with your humor.
Wow a John Deere that you can actually repair!
The older ones are easy
This explains soooo much. Derrick, you have risen far from your very humble beginnings. Without dying. Acetylene to distance from fire ratio is obviously critical knowledge on the old homestead.
Appreciate you watching
Love it. Great family

Thanks. We still have our JD 322 we bought new in 1988. At one point about 10 years ago I got on, turned the key, and nothing happened. I parked it and there it sits. This video has given me the enthusiasm to get it running again.
Oh, it was very reliable except for the mower deck - it loved to throw belts, even when new. PITA job to replace them. Even the dealer was baffled.
A guy thought this channel was a cheap knockoff for a moment then realized no, this is the real deal!
Great tractor, I have one myself with the original engine. Also have 317, 314, and 212 . The 300 series was a great tractor!
I hit that submarine button and even vibrated the bell over there, on this sneaker of a chan. Looks like the farmstead has hours of random content. Keep at it!

That and the John Deere 318 are some of the most sought after John Deere ever!!
If you ever get close to Morganfield Ky. My husband and I would love to meet you and ur wife. Love your videos. ♥️
Well I'll be dipped, a feller can cut the grass now. Can't wait to see the meatloaf cookin' video.
Ditto on the meatloaf
😁🤣😂🤭☺
I'm still waiting on the taco casserole!
@@brandongreene3213 there's a taco casserole!!?
Spoiler alert. He didn't make it home in time for the loaf of meat! I still think he's trying to get the truck home!
Derek,
Thank you and the rest of your family for the great vidyas. Take care bud.

Also much easier to have some air in the tire
New Channel, Love It… Same Great Derek and now funny and cool family too. You all are the best, keep’er up!
WHAT?!?!?! A guys got a new channel? When did this happen? Subscribed
My 317 I purchased new still has the original Kohler Series I and it runs strong and does not smoke. Love my old Deere!
I thought I was a big VGG fan but I didn't even know this channel existed! 🤔
The old 316 👌 back in 85 we went with the 318 since it had power steering and 4 way angle for the plow , still have it, she's getting a little tired but still cuts the lawn weekly
I was waiting for the “this episode is sponsored by The King of Beers.” Definitely some wobble pops consumed during this production.
Oh ya!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! Thank you Derek, family, and friends for showing us what's been a dying breed of "Americana!" "Low Life High Life go let's go!" "Down to Derek's farm where I wanna grow old!" "Take us DOWN, Derek!" That tune was playing in a fellers head while another feller was out ridin' fence!
That’s the most efficient way to clean up spilled gas.
The stupidest way too.
Now your talking my language , I have 12 garden tractors & riding mowers , it’s a hobby , nice machine Thankyou for sharing
Great stuff. At some point I would love to hear the story of the farm.

I'm late to the Party at your family" Dig's" . . . but Happy Fourth of July Everyone ! from Boston. ( it's more Important Now than Ever 😰 )
Awesome! Derek I bought a JD 332 which has a 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel in it. They are the toughest garden tractors ever made. Hydraulics etc.
Lots of accessories for them, but they're getting hard to find parts for.
Should be easy for you to get running and fix it up. 👏👏👏🤠😎🥃🥃🥃🤙🤪💯
Getting Derek back on the farm gets his farmer lingo going more. Same as when I go back to Minnesota and my accent comes back 🤷♂️
I used one on my summer job 40 hrs a week three summers a row three months a year. Most durable badass lawn mower ever made. The 316 is God's preferred lawn mower. I'd love to own one like this. Not many around
Tire ject is magic one lonely farmer in New Jersey uses it all the time on his tires, dont change the tire till it's ourt of treads. It will hold
Thanks. It's nice to take a break and watch your videos.
A feller hooked his peeper on the VGG man and immediately wondered, "Why am I not subscribed to this channel?"
Same!
I love seeing that 1086! My gramps had one so I have a soft spot for em!
“Its ford son thats what its there”. Best thing i ever heard
You’re the bob ross of mechanics. Happy new year
I just think that this channel should have “what could possibly go wrong” in the name
I love that 1086. Best looking tractors ever.
Had a ol John Deere that smoked more than a coal mine on fire but it was free. Tires on the front were dry rotted but still had good tread. A feller thought to himself “why spend $60 on new tires when you can spend $30 and buy some Slime and patch them”. Welp the slime worked a charm for over a year
Jeez that’s same damn old lawn tractor and my grandpa use to mow his lawn with. Glad to see you got it back up and running
Derek - Not everybody drives their lawnmower to the bar, George Jones - Hold my beer...........LMAO!!!!! Love the video.
Congratulations on the new channel!
I can see a george jones style trip in Derek's future
Thanks for the video! Didn't know about this channel.
1086 - that was the deluxe tractor back when I was young - I got stuck driving the non-air conditioned 966.
TireJect is really really good stuff. One Lonely Farmer uses it on his tractor tires and the stuff is fantastic.
You tell the kid to "tighten her up" and he instinctively screws it on clockwise. Hits a feller in the tear ducts.
ever since I found your channels, I have learned so much. Always a pleasure to see what you fix next
Possum Lodge? "I'm a man, and I can change, if i have to, I guess."
Well I'll be dipped, I like it when the youtubes suggest new vice grip videos on a new channel 👌 I'm all caught up on the other channel and will be caught up on this one in just a bit haha
Should have Jessica record stuff like the trailer build.
What a fine guy love to have stumbled on this great channel wish you mentioned it on your main channel
A guy likes that a fella puts a tree scentalator on his ridin’ mower.
