    I just love tractors! Sometimes I get to borrow my neighbors tractor for a job around the house. He is a good neighbor and very kind! You have some cool vehicles coming up, can't wait to see them. Great job getting the tractor running, Richard, and Christina you sure know a lot about the mechanics of a car. Your a great helper for Richard! Many blessings to you both.

    Well it looks as though you got yourself a good tractor. With a lot of TLC and such it will make a nice addition. Wiring is going to need a complete working over and the little things that cause problems I am sure you will address. Looks as though it is going to take a quite a bit of work to straighten out and it appears that your front sheet metal is damaged. I'm sure you have seen in the comments that, that is a tire depth gauge you were holding at first.🥸👍👍👍👍👍

I sometimes miss that rewarding feeling when all the effort pays off. I catch myself smiling when Richard makes it happen. More power to you and keep the ball rolling .

    That whistle is a good idea. I took off the valve cover to watch the valves because I didn't want to be 180 off. Still had issues because I thought the intake was the smallest one. Learned a lot, it's the kind of lessons you never forget.

    Hi Christina and Richard ! The Ford tractor was a cool project for this episode ! I'm currently working on a 1926 model T Ford. The similarities in that old T and a tractor are pretty evident. I always kinda wondered if that was all coincidence , or maybe by design , given how much of the United States was rural community back then. If you could drive a T you could drive a tractor and vice versa. Christina you mentioned painting , if it were me , I'd pressure wash her good , maybe a little wire brush action and go with a good brush and a quality machine paint. That might make a Good video on its own ! Enjoyed ,Enjoyed ! Bless ya !

    That is so satisfying to get an engine running after all the work to get there! That tractor is a great find! I have an '85 Corvette I picked up and it has taken me 2 weeks to sort out all the issues that kept it from running. Someone had messed up every system. After all the fixes and cranking it finally started and now will start each and every time when cranked.

    The first tractor I ever drove was a 1963 4000 Ford, I was 12 and it was my uncles and he put a disc behind it and turned me loose in a 200 acre dryland field. I had a blast and didn't want to quit for the day.

    One of the best videos ever, pretty extensive repairs which Christina nailed that someone most likely fiddled with it and gave up because of all the issues. Great patience Richard in finding everything, and I totally agree about the CHEAP solenoids these days on old Fords. I keep old originals around whenever I can find them. If I get chosen, keep the whistler for someone else, I already bought one because of you guys, but love your tee shirts. If I don't win, I'll end up buying the new ones anyway. Keep up the great work, so happy for you two!

    Nice sounds! Grandad had 400 acres, and a Farm in Milton-Freewater, Oregon alot of land in the Walla-Walla Valley, which he bought during the Great Depression, he owned a ton of old cars and trucks, which my brothers and I learned how to fix, break and repair, one vehicle he drove, a 49 Ford tractor, So easy to work on and had a power-take off, with a hydraulic lift on the back. Well, one crop he sold for 20 years was Jubilee Sweet Corn, known for his hand-hewn corn crop, people would drive 200 miles to buy his corn, that delicious. During the summer, his Grandkids, (Me), would wake up at 3 am, and Grandma would make a big breakfast, 4am start picking corn, dressed heavy because the leaves could cut you and burn cause of the heat. Started at 7 on how to make change and the value of hard work.

    Great work you guys!! You two had the patience and persistence that the previous owners didn't have. That's why it is running now. Sure you still have some more work to do but it really makes you feel better knowing that you are working on something that runs and drives. Can't wait to see it when you are finished getting the lights and charging system fixed and any of the other little things that it might need. I loved the jeep cj5 project. One of my favorites!! You guys make a really good team. Keep up the good work.
