- What about those tractors in the weeds? You've seen them in lots of videos, but what models are they? What is their history and what do I have planned for them?

You prove over and over that an interesting story is in how it's told. You have such a great sense of how to tell a story and how to make a video. You do what's interesting to you, tell us about what YOU want to tell, and I'll be here to watch it. Thank you so very much.
Could make extra money on the side converting books to Audible 🤣 So relaxing
In my 7th decade of life, I like the maintenance side of keepin' your tractors runnin', we get to the point of enjoying the easier/simpler things. 👍
As a child of the 40’s I agree. Although I do still do too many repairs. Can’t just give up!
Maybe that's why the weirdo followed you home and up your driveway. He just wanted some parts lol
I saw that case and immediately had to click on the video. I have inherited my great grandfather’s case fleet and it has become a bit of an obsession.
Another great video! Very much enjoyed hearing the cows give their input - took me back home!
Some day in the future some one is going to have the experience of pulling the weeds aside and discovering those tractors.
Congrats on the 300k
Putting them back to work after some apocalypse...
Hello Pete enjoyed your history. Have a good day.
Very nice video, Pete! Congrats on 300k!! Keep up the good work!!
Great job showing what is required to keep a small farm producing. I have spent a lot of time buying and maintaining tractors and equipment over several years. I have come to realize the farm does not require most of it. It's nice to have but not a necessity. The cows don't care if the hay is made with a $100k tractor or F-20 Farmall. Joel Salatin always like to say what makes a piece of land a farm are farmers; otherwise it's just a wilderness. Using animals to do the work rather than equipment has many bonuses. Pigs have a sign on their forehead "Will Work For Food." LoL... I have restored a few tractors and know what you mean about burn out. The restorations you do require enormous amounts of time, money and energy. The many parallel enterprises you have going and watching the old equipment get the job done is truly an enjoyable and educational experience.
When I get home from my week driving a truck I watch these videos,so relaxing 😎
Just like you. You don't mention the 600 K subscribers. Congrats! Another host might make a big deal, including reveal of a milestone being so great. I love that you tell us the stories of the tractors.
I love that YT is not the main focus. I've been watching since I quit working when the C happened. Thank you for your calm, caring, informative and inspiring content. Also talk about managing runoff, pasture rotation, your beautiful cows, and bad Dad jokes. You must be doing something right. Right?!
Thank you so much. :-)
500K this time next year. Congratulations on 300K
Congratulations on 300k 😊. Been watching and getting inspiration for awhile. Have a Bealy Good Day!
Love the lawn art
Loved the video Pete!!!! Keep cool in this heatwave. 👍
I'm glad I was able to watch you do the MD. It was a really good set of videos and verry compleat. I do understand though that you have a farm to run. As we all get older I think we realize there are things we CAN spend our time on but do we really WANT to spend our time in that way. Good job Pete.
My Farmall loving Fiancée, says:
a "Case" of bad judgment 😉
Thanks for sharing! We enjoy your farm & videos 👍🏻
I too had wondered about the stories behind those rusting hulks. Thanks.
Once again an interesting video. Thanks for explaining about all those old ghosts.
My son & I restored 4 tractors over 5 years and it does wear on you. We did a Massey Ferguson 35, Farmall H, Super AV and a Super A.
Love your show .
Pete, I know people have lucky hats, rabbit feet, but a lucky tractor to symbolically remind you how far You have traveled!!
Great video again, you can be a docent for a tractor museum!!!lol
Thanks for the tractor tour. I always learn something when you talk about tractors. 👍
I love how you share your life lessons with us so genuinely! It's inspiring to know that we all go through difficult times but of we stay committed and positive than we will be ok👍 we just started a ranch and channel and Murphys law has kicked our butts, But watching your channel and seeing how you overcome things has helped us greatly! thanks for sharing and all you do!😊
Best part of my day!
Wow! What a step back in time! Thank you Pete for going through and showing us!
Love your videos Pete. They remind me a lot of the farm i grew up around in central Pa. I noticed the SC a while back in one of your videos. Like you I am a farmall guy but I also have an RC Case and a DC that I am currently doing a nut and bolt restoration on in memory of my late son. I would like to do an SC sometime in the future as well.
Pete, I gotta say your videos are just so enjoyable. Maybe it’s your demeanour but I love watching your videos at the end of a long day! Keep up the great work and congrats on 300k!
I can't say enough about your videos.....Variety, Humor, Great Quality, Uplifting, Positive, etc. Keep 'em coming!!
I still think you need to get the Cub going as a backup to the A. Thanks Pete!
300k subs Congrats Pete
I have two SC Case tractors. They are very good solid tractors. Love your F-20!
love all your videos and learn a lot that ive applied to my life. Boy i cant wait for one day to watch another winter restoration
Thanks!!!!! Now I finally know what my cultivators fit. Case SC
congrats on 300k Pete!!
good morning pete another great video you explain it all fantastickly keep up the great work say aussie geoff
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Pete - how is it that each video you release seems to be even better than the last one! I never thought I would watch anyone talk or work on a tractor but the way you present the info - it has really peaked my interest. You are a walking encyclopedia my friend. I hope you hit 500K subsribers soon as your video and editing is simply amazing. Truly looking forward to those Saturday farmer market videos - I feel like I am there with you - I always cheer you on when you sell out of items.
Always wondered why that mechanism to apply the brakes was neccessary , the back wheel on my Allis WC doesn't move when you are on full lock. Congrats on 300k Pete!
I remember seeing this tractor in the last video. I thought it was cool and had a lot of character.
Thank you for sharing your parts tractors!! Growing up my grandpa had a F20 sitting in the weeds too.
Too few people(and neighborhood associations) appreciate fine yard art. I think some enterprising urban developer should weld together lots of agricultural antique equipment leftovers and paint them jaunty colors, place them in a park and put a brass plaque designating it a memorial to all the inventors, industrialists and farmers who made our country possible in an improbable and tough world. We have several very old horse drawn implements in our front yard, collected by my city boy husband. He sees the beauty in their design- I see the history of invention and practicality. We have had to argue with the township over whether the pieces are junk(no, they are fresh painted) or historic artifacts(yep, historical societies at local and state level say yes).
Hi Pete...Great video..I really enjoy your content..it is always interesting...enjoy your weekend at the farmers market...
Me too... love his videos of him selling at the farmers market
Pete love the vids you guys should do a full equipment tour sometime soon
Fyi here in Australia we call your distillate "Power Kero" we have a couple of old Fordsons that we put jet A1 in as a substitute they run so much better on it than regular petrol! Plus you get a sweet smell as you drive haha.
Thank you I've been waiting for a video like this
A real hedge fund in scrap iron. 😉 Handy if you need to forge a metal part out of necessity since there is a wealth of high grade alloy in those drivetrains.
Congratulations on the 300k subscribers!
Ever go to any tractor pulls? I think it would be a really interesting video. Would love to see the MD compete
Pete you are a walking encyclopedia . I am serious !
Good evening Pete,
This was a very interesting video and amazing how p
You could probably make 1 good tractor out of all those other tractors. 👍
ty Pete
I see you are growing weeeds besides grapes I like that
Cheers to you.
thanks 🙏🏻 for all your info an knowledge sir ! which brings me to my question how an were did you get all ur knowledge from on fixing those old tractor 🚜?? my dad loved those old tractor’s which i miss him so much would love to work on them with him now that i’m older. word of advice to young people things we think are so so boring to us as young people spend that time with ur dads an moms helping them because the day will come when you wish you could be blessed 😇 everyone remember jesus love you 😍 all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻😇
I could not agree more. Dad died 52 years ago shortly after my 2nd Tour. I miss him still. I envy Pete in that respect (others as well).
Awesome video! i Love the old tractors! :) :)
Great video, Thanks !
Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊! If the old tractors are basically all shot, why not sell them for the steel?
You should fix the other 656 in the weeds and put the gas motor in it
another great video..
Pete, I have a question: why do you keep them in the yard? Sale them for scrap metal and clean up the yard or make them a feature in the yard! Well just a thought! Have a fantastic week🤗
You do seem like a person who likes things in order so I am surprised you do not park the tractors together on a pad of crushed stone rather than have weeds growing around each one and how they are parked in different locations. Or better yet, sell them....unless you still need parts.
I like the way they look in the weeds. I’m not too interested in having a manicured lawn.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm we let the cows manicure our lawn too. It all works out.
I’m the type of person that can look at those and wanna buy every single one and restore it while other would consider it junk
It wouldn't be a video if the cows weren't complaining in the background! 😁
Excellent video Pete :) also history on tractor parts for fix ones up got fully restored on and nice history lessons too! Also give you Lol Pete :) when growing up beside pine tree in near fence gate also driveway were my dad also uncle had on was horses drawn 2 row pull cultivatetor was rust up also in memory of my grandparents on dad side ! Ask why was there to dad and uncle one time they said was feild were big 1984 Machinery shed is and plus been Chicken barn many years to the use ! So was so nice hear and saw pictures of them doing feild work on 3 acres was team horses to black and white pictures of 1950's and color of 1970 to when Chicken barn before fell apart! Plus saw the old 1945 Cockshutt 35 loader tractor near Chicken Barn also Threashing Machine had on farm was destroyed by a fire many years ago with 1950 Cockshutt COOP 40 tractor belt run it plus men hard at working! But in Summer of 1996 my dad , uncle his older brother and were cleaning up farm for get sold also on rust old Machinery shed in south west side of home farm saw up by slide door on rafters truss was rusted of old single plow with disk horses drawn type so dad said get 1963 McCormick International B414 Loader tractor Desiel fuel motor plus bucket with some chains so ran up big Machinery shed of 2 kms run and got there ! So 3 of us guys got down with hurting us or tractor to was my late grandparents it was Massey Harris Number 7 plow and disk one team of 2 horses pull it ! Funny part we saw in local paper got 5 days a guy looking for payed for about $500.00 to $1.000 depending condition and we phone in 1996 and show it and said $800.00 and said no problem! Also my uncle and dad said that your spending money for awhile so don't over spend it ! So said take you both out lunch on me tomorrow agree 👍 to ! But we found lots abandoned stuff on farm too and from 1918 to 1980's plus tool still have also for Square Bolt and Nuts from Ireland made company 1920 to 1950 but one have is 1937 ! Pete do remember the Kersone fuel tractor talk about plus Crude Oil Tractors (Russia made) were 1930's years ran on oil or dirt engine oil like Desiel motor how but smoke like coal fire train and gas to plus Steam engines tractor to ! Seen in lots you have to plus others only 9 years younger you but been to shows of farm ways plus in my local area too ! That got me say my Auto Mechanics trade came in full time in and still prefer Old Technology lots more interesting in over New Technology!
Well Pete you should list that 656 on Craigslist. you’ll get at least 100k for it because that’s what every one on there thinks, a parts tractor that “ ran good when parked” is worth lol
You should sell the old Case to someone who has "the passion" for them that you have for your Farmall tractors. Give the walnut tree a beak lol
Nice t-shirt!
hi Pete.
...and maintenance is ALWAYS cheaper than restoration.
Can you do a total equipment tour ?
Has Henry expressed any interest in restoring one?
i have always wondered how long it takes him to completely restore a tractor like that one
Well now I am going to start leaving a 100 dollar bill in the tool box of old tracters hiding in the weeds.
👍👍
👍🏻
cow question- why do cows lay down when it rains? Sounds like the beginning to a joke, but i really want to know
Hey Pete why don't you sell all the trash tractor's for scrap and keep the money for good parts for the good tractor's?
I would like to see it restored. You definitely have the skills and know how to do it. “Go Fund Me” 2.0? I have an extra 20 bucks laying around somewhere.
I could close my eyes, listen to your tractor histories, and I flew back in time and you were my grandpa (different tonal qualities, of course) telling me about those 'giant' mechanical beasts that loomed around the ranch. Once again, deep thanks for taking us all along down memory lane.
Pete, thanks for a tour of your "tractors in the weeds". Each tractor tells an interesting story with great history. The tractors are a reminder of a bygone era.
Hey, 300 K is a nice comfortable number! I'm so glad you don't do this as other farm channels and depend on YT to support you but the farm brings in the money. That shows the whole model works and you can live of your farm if you are a bit frugal.
I think that is something many fail to show with their videos and then they end up with clickbait and CrAzY letters SCREAMING about how amazing this must see video is.
Thank you for keeping it real. Us who are here are here for the real. No fake game!
300k, well done! I was wondering about the tractor with the snow chains in one of your recent videos.
300k Wow! Never underestimate the pulling power of old tractors and honest talk.
Hi Pete, I restored my 1945 SC Case back in 1976 and it has done a tremendous amount of work around here ever since! It is simple and reliable, always starts, and is currently belted up to the buzz saw for cutting firewood. Those final drives are actually big roller chains. Look at your axle housings on each side and you will see that the mount holes are slotted so that the housings will move back to tighten the chains. My tractor has a hand clutch and no hydraulics. I plow with an IH Little Genius 2-12" trailer plow on steel behind the SC. I love running the old antiques, but also have made the decision to not drag any more restoration projects home and take good care of what I already have. I'm glad you are getting some rain up there. Here at our place in north central PA things are dried up! Take care and have fun! Chip
I'm working on a DC now and noticed the slotted holes wondering why. Thanks for the info.
I live in the heart of the city, on a lot less than a quarter acre. I'll never own a tractor, never need a tractor, but if there is a Farmall in the video, I'm gonna watch it. Memories of my youth on my grandfather's farm. Thanks, Pete
Thank you pete for going over the tractors in the weeds I've always wondered about them
Congratulations Pete on the 300K. And everyone of your videos were made to get your attention, thanks for the great ride and hope to see more. Hope you and Hillary have a great day. Keep safe.
I didn't see that. Thanks for pointing out Pete and Hillary's accomplishment. 300k is huge!
Well done! Sure glad to be one of those subscribers! You're a wonderful story teller. Love how you mix verbals with your 'ladies'! LOL
@@PatricesProjects That is huge, We only have 148 😞😞😞😞LOL
Nothing like a graveyard to tell some good stories. Im here for the animals and the dad jokes (really- i like me some corn lol) but i have to tell ya the tractor stuff is always interesting! And i am noooo mechanic (ruins the manicure). You are a great storyteller, and i enjoy all your content. Keep up the good work!
You are a video producing machine! 😳
Congratulations on 300k Pete. It's pretty funny how every time I saw one of the old tractors in the weeds, I was going to ask if you could make a video on them but for some reason I never did I guess I just had to wait. 😆Thank you for all the great videos!
Yes I have been waiting for this video
Little brother spent HOURS "driving" an old parked tractor when we were growing up. In a few (several?) years you might be a grandpa, and those tractors will be magnets for the grandkids!
Funny I remember doing that on my grandpas farm on old “junk” tractors and even trucks never wrecked one of them i brag to this day lol 😂
Pete you're a great story teller! I can listen to you all day. Thank you for this wonderful channel! Take care.
I had a huge smile when I saw the title!! Thank you peat for great videos that make my day!
very cool video Pete! Love to see these old tractors and hear the story behind them...
I don't know if you've touched on it in any of your previous videos, but how did you get interested in mechanics and tinkering with automobiles? It's seems like a crucial skill to have as a small farmer.
Growing up on a farm.
Farmers called the steering on a Case SC or DC the fence catcher.
Awesome video Pete! Thank you, I was wondering about your F20 you lean on during your videos, wish I had one, but I'm like you but with cars. Just keeping the collection going is a big enough job! Thanks!
