    What a beautiful job bringing your tractor back to factory new conditions. I love your attention to detail. Job well done you'll get many more years of service out of the old girl.

    Wow, my wife and I both love watching your show. You did such a great job. I’ve always wanted a red tractor after the first time. I drove one at 10 years old in Saskatchewan Canada now I drive one when we work with the kids in the townships, and it’s a C just like the one you did.

    Hi Pete, I know that it's a lot of work doing resto work on these old tractors but to me watching you working on this venture is very fascinating and i'm sure rewarding to you. these day the tractors and the quality of the build, will bring a high value to any one that you redo. Great job.

    We enjoy your enthusiasm and detailed explanations in these restoration projects. An added benefit for us lazy people, you do all the research and boil down the interesting applicable historical bits into a concisely scripted format that fits within the video timeline. Nicely done on many levels. 👍 Perhaps one day your kids will realize what a treasure these videos will be in the future. 👍

    These old tractors aren’t filled with the computer technology of today’s machines but they sure had a lot of parts to make them do the different things the farmer needed to do their work.
    I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about with these different components, but it’s still interesting watching you assemble and restore these old machines that built and fed America so many decades ago.

    This is very much not an app on your iPhone. How fortunate some of us are to have and remember those implements of "old". The people of "old" got it done. These red tractors show respect to our heritage. The work ethic, values and requirements of those days probably encourage the homestead longings of today.

    My wife and I have loved this build. Today I made a comment to her that even though this is a 99% labor project. It still wasn't cheap.
    My wife put it into perspective and said, "still cheaper than a new one". Anyways, thanks for sharing Pete.

    You're doing such an awesome job, I think I will bring my 67 SS Chevelle to you. I bought it in 1970, drove it while in high school. Parked it around 74. It sat in New Mexico for 30 years before I decided it was time to restore it. Brought it to Houston and got it torn completely apart. After a few years, I got the frame and suspension brand new, got the underside looking better than factory and then had to put the body back on the frame due to divorce. It sat in storage for another 15 years and my new wife said it was time to finish it. Got it back to my shop and didn't get much done before hurricane Harvey flooded our house and we lost nearly everything we owned. I did get the mud washed out of the body and most every where else but it did ruin the engine. It has been sitting at my son's house now for another 6 years while I have been rebuilding my house... And that is why I think I should get someone else to finish it if I ever expect to get a chance to drive it again...

I was driving in my truck listening and almost had to pull over I was laughing so much! 😂🤣😂🤣😂😅🥹That’s comedy folks, and that dad humor is just one of many reasons I love Pete, his family, farm, and all his amazing animals. Keep up the good work Pete, look forward to the next episode 🎉

    Hi Pete & family. Happy New Year! Just took a Google street view near my house. But not sure how to upload. Address is 166 West Rocks Rd., Norwalk CT. At one time all this property was farmland. All developed after WW2 into homes. But the photo shows the original farmhouse and the Farmall tractor. Can’t wait for the Super C to run. 👍

    Pete you should get a hard line bending tool. That eases the way in making new fuel and breaklines. It should not be very expensive. I got one and it helped me a lot in getting the right bends. Before that i used a wooden towl to bend. That hitch is very complicated for its day when they made these. Also the PTO cover on the old Belarus 500 that i have worked with are 90% of the time missing or a mangled lump of steel. Rarely see on still in a good shape.

    That's a lot of doo-dads Mr. Pete. When I have to work on a very heavy pump, I pull out my assortment of cut 4x4 wood pieces. They help a lot when you need to support a heavy piece of whatever so you can get pins or bolts installed and you're doing it by yourself. Saved me from getting a sore back! And The Super C is looking Super! I can hardly wait to hear you start it up.

    I love your restored Farmalls. My grandfather had an M in the early 50s, from the 40s? but I don't know what year. He did have a set of rusty steel wheels leaning up against the tractor shed. Dad said they were originally for the Farmall. He remembered them as a teen (30s).
    I remember driving the Farmall as a six year old in 1951picking up hay bales with my grandfather and dad picking the bales up and throwing them up to my uncle Jimmy on the wagon. I barely could reach the pedals, so when one of them shouted "whoa" I kicked the clutch in (I couldn't reach the brakes and clutch simultaneously).
    My grandfather died the next spring. Whenever I see a Farmall M I remember "driving " the M that summer as a six year old. Thanks for the memories, Pete.
