When I first got my Model T I nearly had a heart attack the first time I got it started. It took me quite awhile to get it going and cranking is hard work. Now 30 years on I can start it right off. You have to get the knack for getting the gas mixture and spark right. Great piece of equipment, great video.
Six years before my dad was born, and we lost him fifteen and a half years ago. We might not live so long ourselves, but the things we make can outlive us by a long while.
After I bush hog my fields on my 801 Work Master I go into traction for a day to recover. I couldn't imagine 9 hrs on that! However, compared to walking behind a horse it was a gift for those farmers at that time.
Interesting procedure. I am always watching the old dogs fire up at the shows. It's so interesting to me the multiple procedures. Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks. I hope to get some more videos made when I find the time. I have a couple machines I want to make videos on but need to find time and someone to hold the camera
Great video. I would love to see how many of today's machines will still be running a hundred years from now. Please make more videos. Greetings from Africa.
Only 100 years later, and Laura Wilson of “Laura Farms” channel climbs up into the cab of a John Deere, full of computer screens, auto-steer, turns one key and can plant from dawn to dusk.
You should see our model 40 Eagle once I get it out. You have to stand up on the flywheel to crank it. I’ve heard of guys getting thrown 10 feet if it fires and they don’t jump off
Man... and I was complaining earlier today that I had to press the little safety & awareness "accept" button for my infotainment system every time I started my car. Imagine if I had to finger a magneto for 15 minutes every morning.
A bit of both. For one, once you understand how these machines operate they’re very easy to operate. Plus my uncle (my other video is his steam engine), has taught me a ton about them.
The simplicity and elegance of this machine is something that cannot be understated.
Hats off to the old time farmers that actually used those beasts everyday.
And before that, a team of unco-operative animals

It probably beat taking a croc of shit off a mule every day of your life.

Not sure simplicity is the right term here!She’s quite a complicated girl and it’s just amazing that someone understands her so beautifully ❤

Good luck on your YT adventure. Old tractors are awesome. I love seeing old steel out and operating.

That was one of the best presentation I've ever seen on how to do something on the Internet thank you and well done
Awesome video from a man that knows his equipment.

Great video ..would love to see more in the future. Thanks for sharing

Great explanation of the tractor and starting.
A good looking machine. Thanks for sharing.

Just stumbled across your channel. Very nice 👌. Keep them coming.
This is pretty cool. Good video. I'm glad it wasn't shaky and such. Audio is good as well. You've earned a sub.
Love the "tread" on the front rims!
Wow! Just wow! Great video!!!! Thanks!! You got my subscription. Keep it up and keep these old ones going!!

Cool video. I'd be nervous about all those fly wheels and clothing.😅
Knowledge passed from father to son for 5 generations. What a freaking death trap😂😂😂

I would adj the tension on the impulse on the mag.. nice video thanks for sharing 👍🏻
It’s as tight as it goes. Spring is just tired and needs to get replaced or stretched out a bit
Lovely sound!. Nice one!. Nuff said!. 🙂
Wish I had the space, and especially the money, to have a tractor from that era
Good old tractor. From Australia
Very well demonstrated
Man,, it will be lunch time by the time u get the damthing running
On the plus side, looking after the number of horses it replaced would probably take longer every day.
Wonderful. Thank you.
nice old Titan.
sounds awesome!
Great explanation
Those farmers weren't tractor drivers. They had to be engineers>

Amazing. Now I wanna know if he needs a list for the grocery store that juxtaposes this 700 item startup procedure for the tractor
Cool
Geez, it's like trying to set the cruise control on a new Ford
looks like it was modeled after a locomotive
You never have to worry about anyone stealing this thing.
Certainly not. Plus, it’s its own anti theft alarm. You can hear it running from half a mile away
You should do more videos, ita interesting to see the early days of ICE tractors
@@GenetrySolarI plan to in the near future. Gotta get the field work done and do some work on the rest of the tractors before I can film them
ok I subbed, great content love the old stuff... I hope to see some smoother camera work next time lol
Next time I’ll find someone to hold the camera. I was the only one around and wanted to get the tractor put away
feel like you have done a days work,starting the tractor.
What makes the mixer a mixer and not a carburettor? What's the difference?
A carburetor uses a jet with a float bowl. This uses a needle valve and a reservoir instead
It really needs more TLC than its getting
You’re welcome to come do that for me.
So any change this biutiful machine is for sale
Based on the serial numbers, were there really over 78,000 built in just 6 years? That would be an impressive amount of manufacturing for the time.
There were that many made. However a lot of pre-1942 equipment ended up getting scrapped in the war, which is what makes these as rare as they are.
Did someone pass the knowledge about starting this beast or did you just figure it out yourself with an owners manual?
A bit of both. For one, once you understand how these machines operate they’re very easy to operate. Plus my uncle (my other video is his steam engine), has taught me a ton about them.
Two days later and 5 pounds grease you be ready to go
Still faster than steam power
And it lasted for 103 years! Not bad by modern standards.
He drained the water so I hope it doesn’t overheat.😳
Almost takes 2 people to start it red power
Easier to start and fly a plane than this.
Interesting video, but you need to learn a bit about camera control.
Sorry, I was trying to film this myself without a tripod. Had to get the tractor put back away and wanted to record a video on it
