I've really enjoyed watching your videos. I get goose bumps listening to the sound of the MD, from starting to shut off. My Dad bought a 1947 MD brand new, and I could hardly wait until I got old enough to drive it. Finally at 9 yrs of age and 2 yrs of bugging the heck out of the old man, he finally let me drive it. I had to wedge my butt against the seat to reach the clutch, but I didn't mind. I did a lot of chisel plowing, and loved listening to that diesel beller as I would work this Michigan blue clay. If all the tractors I've ever operated from my grandfather's 39 A to my cousin's Case IH Steiget, my absolute favorite was and forever shall be the MD. Thanks for taping and sharing your restoration journey. I really enjoyed it. I restored a 51 H, and 40 A kerosene, but haven't worked up the courage to tackle a Diesel. Probably at age 83, I never will. Again, thanks.
Mr. Pete, you farm the way I did when I was farming as a teenager/young adult. We had a Farmall "M", not the "MD" My neighbor had the "MD", and I spent a lot of time on it. When I started mowing hay, I used the cycle bar mower, except ours was tow behind. Then we graduated up from there. Back then, that's the kind of mower that the state and county used to mow the ditches. By the way, I'm 61 years old. Thank you so much for sharing this. I was watching you spread maneure the other day, and it brought back a lot of memories because that's exactly how I did it. We also at one time had a Farmall C, H, and a John Deere 630 with a wide front-end on it. Those were the days.
Local news: 2 shootings, devastating house fires, homicides, fraud & theft National news: Cringeworthy political garbage World news: War UA-cam: Ahhhh Pete just uploaded a new video. Heartbeat & blood pressure returns to normal. My breathing relaxes. I can almost smell that fresh cut field. I'm fascinated and completely relaxed at watching the farm action. I'm happy again as I laugh along with Pete. Like many, many other folks I'm forever grateful to you both for letting us into your world. You bring joy to so many. Hugs from a middle aged Grandmother from a suburban town in Wisconsin
You have earned "Bragging Rights". Have watched your teardowns and rebuilds. It's pleasure watching a mechanic ply their trade. Enjoyed this morning's video. Thank You, Pete.
Just looking at your smile after you cut your field and listening to your beautiful tractor purr , funny how your good day helps us here in Montana . We do so enjoy your videos. We have been ranching in Montana for about 6 years after calling it quits in the medical field, we have followed a few Others on you tube by far we value who you are , how in today’s times what works for you and your farm and your words of wisdom ! Thank you very much for being a great person .
Pete your tractor is a master piece of restoration. Like you say the sound of engine is so beautiful. How would you ever get the same feeling if you were on an electric tractor if they ever go that way. Pete your joy makes it fun to watch. That great job done feeling you rarely get in life today.
GOTTA TELL YA PETE, WHEN YOU STARTED UP THE MD IN GARAGE, BEING A BIT OF A GEARHEAD MYSELF THERES NOTHING MORE SATISFYING THEN THE SOUND OF THAT MACHINE PURRING LIKE ESRA. EVEN WITHOUT THE MUFFLER. GREAT JOB WITH THE RESTORATION. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. YOU ALL HAVE GREAT WORK ETHIC 👍
I used to cut and watch our old dog chase all the rodents as they went out at our farm. Bring back great memories. You're in heaven! Good for you and god bless you and those old Farmall's
The 'song' of a well tuned tractor IS a delight at any time. Well, that and a well trimmed field with a side cutter just makes me sit a little deeper in my computer chair and reminisce. Hope all is well at your place.
At the 14 minute mark was a thing of beauty!!! That low rpm RIPPED MY HEART OUT!!! That's what I call true mechanical meticulousness!!! I know for a FACT, You and my Dad would've gotten along like two peas in a pod!!! 💜💜💜💜
That MD is about as good of a example what it would have been like for the original farmer that bought it brand spanking new in the 50s!! Great job on the restore!!
Pete--I really appreciate all your troubles to showcase the newly restored tractor. But, I can't help but think how many times you looked at the original tractor and thought, "is it really worth all the trouble?" Great video the brighter red paint looked good on you!
My 56 Farmall 400D would throw you for a "Loop"! She used to run a 40" portable "Bell-Saw" sawmill... The Log Cabin she "CUT" All Wood for that "Cabin".. Irasburg V.T.!
Awesome machine Pete. You did a great job restoring it too. Looks to be in Show Room condition. Love the sounds of that diesel. I bet an eight hour audio recording would help most people sleep at night. Awesome.
I love seeing sickle bar mowers cutting, I think they are underrated, the tractor’s sounding and looking great, you did an awesome job, now that I recently retired I want to restore something and I can’t decide what but I have narrowed it either an old tractor, an airstream trailer
Love to hear a smooth running cyclmower running on a smooth running tractor no matter its make. We had a smooth running john deere a with a smooth running new idea tow behind that I loved to listen to. Nothing more relaxing. Loved the how low will she go part.
Thanks again, Pete. I always love watching a sickle bar mower working. This was nicely informative. It is really good to see you getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor of the MD.
I think you are selling the MD short saying it sounds "nice". That tractor sounds GLORIOUS, especially that unmuffled bark when you snap it over from gas to diesel. Literally yanks me back to my teenage years and running that old MD.
The old equipment, with a good dose of horse sense works so well. Good job on that restoration, Pete. That ol' girl sure does run smooth. When I was a kid, I learned to tune my car by ear once I got the specs dialed in. It was always a very satisfying moment to listen to the purr as you wiped the grime off the tools before putting them away.
To a gear head , the sound of any engine running smoothly an perfect, is music to our ears ! It's a symphony or can be a rock band !!! Old timers would say she is running like a pickle seeder !!! You should be proud, she looks and sounds like a trailer Queen, But I'm glad you are using her for what she was made for !!! GOD BLESS !!!
I can't even lie. Your smile and genuine enthusiasm is infectious and these lil mundane tasks enjoying working with a thing and doing the day in day out upkeep is the best kind of ASMR to relax to. Brings back a lot of memories growing up on a farm. Thank you for all the content.
That was fun to watch! You can't beat watching old tractors still doing a good day's work. Loved the drone shot of the countryside too. The Finger Lakes area of NY state is truly beautiful.

ALL THOSE HOURS….. They were Worthwhile ! ❤️
I think I can smell the cut grass!
The sound of the H when you started up and pulled away... It was perfect

There’s nothing more satisfying than a well adjusted sickle mower.
A well-adjusted manure spreader is close!

What I was thinking you were able to put into words. I always feel the same...from a proud 77 year old Grandfather. Thank you Heather!
Spending 20 minutes in my day watching you is just pure bliss for this old man. Thank you so much for sharing Pete.

Toot your own horn that MD is a thing of beauty. Once again epic job on the rebuild
Dear Pete, WOW JUST WOW. That tractor is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! ❤️

Pete your joy makes it fun to watch. That great job done feeling you rarely get in life today.
My favorite farmer, yes sir I really look forward to any of your great informative videos, thank you.
Awesome video of the beautiful Farmall MD and sickle bar mower working for the farmer. 👍👍👍🇺🇸
GOTTA TELL YA PETE, WHEN YOU STARTED UP THE MD IN GARAGE, BEING A BIT OF A GEARHEAD MYSELF THERES NOTHING MORE SATISFYING THEN THE SOUND OF THAT MACHINE PURRING LIKE ESRA. EVEN WITHOUT THE MUFFLER. GREAT JOB WITH THE RESTORATION. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. YOU ALL HAVE GREAT WORK ETHIC 👍
Pete, another great video with fine camera placement. The MD purrs like one of your fine tuned clocks.
Awesome to see the Farm All working again.
I used to cut and watch our old dog chase all the rodents as they went out at our farm. Bring back great memories. You're in heaven! Good for you and god bless you and those old Farmall's
That MD ticks like clockwork, it's so soothing.
Pete the MD sounds great and love hearing your Farmalls run
Boy this brings back some memories. Thank you for sharing.
Working on machines can be tedious sometimes but there is nothing more gratifying than when they run good and get the job done.
Got that one purring like a kitten Pete! Have a good day
That was pure poetry in motion!!
That ol' MD sure is a neat tractor. Thanks for the video, Pete.
The 'song' of a well tuned tractor IS a delight at any time. Well, that and a well trimmed field with a side cutter just makes me sit a little deeper in my computer chair and reminisce. Hope all is well at your place.
Watching you mow is really relaxing. Thanks
Hi Pete love watching the MD at work after watching the whole restoration process keep it up.
As soon as you said MOWING , I was there…lol 😀 Your tractor sounds great and looks so pretty 😍
Awesome job on the MD sir!
Thanks for the video Pete, love that MD, she sounds sweet.
You toot away there, Pete. 📯🎺💯 That was absolutely phenomenal 👏👏👏👏👏
It was fun riding along on your shiny red tractor today. I think I could smell the fresh cut grass…
300K!!!!!!! Way to go! Cheers to 500k!
At the 14 minute mark was a thing of beauty!!! That low rpm RIPPED MY HEART OUT!!! That's what I call true mechanical meticulousness!!! I know for a FACT, You and my Dad would've gotten along like two peas in a pod!!! 💜💜💜💜
Best farm channel on UA-cam
This brings back so many memories. Thank you!
I sure do like that MD and am glad you got it going well again. Nice video
That MD is about as good of a example what it would have been like for the original farmer that bought it brand spanking new in the 50s!! Great job on the restore!!
Beautiful Tractor Symphony!
Nice video. MD sounds looks great. My Dad had a Ferguson 20 and sickle bar mower when I was a kid in Ireland.
Pete--I really appreciate all your troubles to showcase the newly restored tractor. But, I can't help but think how many times you looked at the original tractor and thought, "is it really worth all the trouble?" Great video the brighter red paint looked good on you!
Hi Pete, you are correct the engine sounds amazing, can't believe the difference. Thank you.
Good morning Pete! I love it when you just make a video on the tractor cutting, thanks for making this Pete!
Learn something every time. Plus bringing out the beautiful MD! She purrs.
My 56 Farmall 400D would throw you for a "Loop"! She used to run a 40" portable "Bell-Saw" sawmill... The Log Cabin she "CUT" All Wood for that "Cabin".. Irasburg V.T.!
Nothing looks better in a green field than a nice looking red tractor!
nothing like watching a man mowing his grass, so relaxing
The hours you will enjoy using your equipment far surpasses the time making her right. Thank you for sharing the fruits of your labour.
Awesome machine Pete. You did a great job restoring it too. Looks to be in Show Room condition. Love the sounds of that diesel. I bet an eight hour audio recording would help most people sleep at night. Awesome.
Great work on the MD Pete. She sounds amazing.
The swallows do the same thing to me when I mow the orchard ! Nice seeing the MD running so well.
I love seeing sickle bar mowers cutting, I think they are underrated, the tractor’s sounding and looking great, you did an awesome job, now that I recently retired I want to restore something and I can’t decide what but I have narrowed it either an old tractor, an airstream trailer
Your old tractors are soo cool!!!! You do an a amazing job restoring them!!
Rural elegance. Thank you.
Love to hear a smooth running cyclmower running on a smooth running tractor no matter its make. We had a smooth running john deere a with a smooth running new idea tow behind that I loved to listen to. Nothing more relaxing. Loved the how low will she go part.
You did a beautiful job on that MD.
Thank you Pete! It never gets old watching you cut for hay. I love the sickle bar mower.
Never realized sickle bars were so complicated.
Wow, love the sound of the MD just running along, reminds me of sounds, smells, bouncing' about. Thanks for that !!!
6:40 "The Farmall requires a sacrifice!" 🤣
The MD is running like a champ! 🤘
Very nice video. Enjoyed watching the adjustment of the mower. The MD sounds terrific too. Excellent job.
Had to be a rewarding experience, the overhauled MD and knowing the good the thatching is doing your pasture. Well done sir.
I'm from Europe but i love this guy !!
Thanks again, Pete. I always love watching a sickle bar mower working. This was nicely informative. It is really good to see you getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor of the MD.
I had about as much fun watching as you did mowing !!!! MD purrs like a kitten. I could watch this for hours !!!!
Beautiful job on the MD!
I think you are selling the MD short saying it sounds "nice". That tractor sounds GLORIOUS, especially that unmuffled bark when you snap it over from gas to diesel. Literally yanks me back to my teenage years and running that old MD.
Love the tractor! Great job on it! Looks and sounds great.
That MD looks beautiful Pete, and sounds great!
The old equipment, with a good dose of horse sense works so well. Good job on that restoration, Pete. That ol' girl sure does run smooth. When I was a kid, I learned to tune my car by ear once I got the specs dialed in. It was always a very satisfying moment to listen to the purr as you wiped the grime off the tools before putting them away.
That MD is a beautiful site out there mowing! Glad you took the time to hook it up to the mower
To a gear head , the sound of any engine running smoothly an perfect, is music to our ears ! It's a symphony or can be a rock band !!! Old timers would say she is running like a pickle seeder !!! You should be proud, she looks and sounds like a trailer Queen, But I'm glad you are using her for what she was made for !!!
GOD BLESS !!!
Love watching you mow with MD. You did a great job.
Hello Peter. Thanks for taking us along!! Be well.
My favorite tractor on the channel... I'm glad to see her back in action...
Sure is nice to sit back & relax after today's work while watching you mow. Thanks so much for the video!
Would you be interested in helping me set up a old Ford sickle bar mower at my place?
Hi Derek, I would enjoy taking a trip to Tennessee and helping you out. My phone is 607 279-6772, email peterelarson3@gmail.com
Pete, as always, great work on the video and thank you for sharing. The MD looks and runs great.
I can't even lie. Your smile and genuine enthusiasm is infectious and these lil mundane tasks enjoying working with a thing and doing the day in day out upkeep is the best kind of ASMR to relax to. Brings back a lot of memories growing up on a farm. Thank you for all the content.
Pete, the MD is purring like a kitten, great job on the engine rebuild again…
Great to see the MD back! Tractor sounds amazing!
You gotta love that MD purring like a kitten!!!! Great job on the rebuild!!!
That was fun to watch! You can't beat watching old tractors still doing a good day's work. Loved the drone shot of the countryside too. The Finger Lakes area of NY state is truly beautiful.
