    Hey Pete! We love ALL of your videos. Working on equipment, doing chores, or just pontificating. I really wish you wouldn't concern yourself with the negative comments from the peanut gallery. You are an impressive person. Most of the negativity comes from people can only try to down what the capable have created. You just keep doing things the way that YOU want to. We will keep watching. Thanks for what you do. Best wishes to you and your family .

    Pete, I am a Deere guy, but I have really enjoyed the journey of the restoration of this Super C. You have documented it wonderfully and it looks perfect, and the fact that it fired right off is proof it runs as well as it looks. I admired those who save the old iron, especially in todays age of high horsepower computer controlled , auto steer tractors. Keep up the great work and videos. God Bless

      Only deer on my farm is in the freezer!!! The reason for saying that is every time I was having one of my neighbors asking if they could borrow one of my three diesel tractors and it was always one of the Case's never the MF!?!?!? One of my neighbors when he returned the tractor he stated that the Case and his JD were about equal but the Case did more acres per hour plus more acres per gallon of fuel!?!?!?

    I grew up in a tractor mechanic shop in the 60s and 70s working on vintage tractors like the super C. Watching you restore this beauty really brings back memories. You did a great job and yes that is a lot of work but worth every second in the end. I feel like I should sit by the TV and Waite for Ed Sullivan to come on with a glass of Tang now. LOL

    Love the extra umph that the 4K gives….thanks for the GREAT EDITING 👍🏻👏🏻. Can’t start my day without Hillary & Pete…best wishes your way. Just amazed at the classic styling of those tractors…the new generation tractors are so very complex, very expensive and can only be worked on by dealership mechanics (proprietary electronics, et.Al.).

    Fantastic job! I can almost smell the fresh paint and rubber. Super jealous-my old C has not run in probably twenty years. Now that I’ve retired I’ve ordered some parts to rebuild the carb, distributor and added a one wire alternator and change over to 12 volt. Thanks for being meticulous and recording everything so I can use it as a guide!

    Oh, she's beautiful, refreshed and will look good for many years to come. That's just part of maintaining equipment. So much is just recycled instead of renewed anymore. But the best part is the feeling of accomplishment. You did that with your own money, time, and hands. What a blessing! Can't wait to see her working again!

    Oh that gas in the clean float bowel looks so pretty. Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE! I don't blame you one bit for not taking it outside and a rainy say. I would be checking the wind direction if I were to be pulling the honey wagon. Then wash and wax it after so many hours of use. I wish I could show you Brook on the Cog Hill Farm channel as she didn't realize she was petting her tractor on camera. Maybe Hillery should have been in the shot with you sitting there. It was a great moment and we're privileged that you shared it with us. Of course you did all the work but still.👍Awesome.

    Good job, this Super C rebuild was a very enjoyable series to watch. Came from a farm that had a Farmall Super A and an AC WD45. I was the younger boy so I got the Super A for my jobs. I absolutely loved that little guy. I think my favorite task was cultivating corn in the summer. Pete watching you work the farm and caring for your livestock is my morning meditation session on many days.

I have been picking away with my first H restoration (very slowly) and appreciate your knowledge and insight. I have learned a ton watching, now to get at it and work through it. I just have to remind myself, one bite at a time. Thanks again Pete.

    Pete I saw a complete rebuild and cost. His 1952 Farmall that he rebuilt every polt and nut. He spent 8800 USD in parts, machine shop everything but elbow grease. I bet your cost about the same. Those older tractors are being bought Ed and shipped overseas. It looks beautiful Pete. Those are your legacy. They are just beautiful. my grandparents had 2 tractors, big green John Deere, ford that was repainted blue belly. All for 88 acres farm. He also owned a crystal factory he moved from Baltimore to Westminster. He did work for armed fores and Apollo missions. I never knew a master watch maker could do that? Neal Apollo Beach Florida

    I am impressed by your detailed restoration. It has been particularly interesting to me because my father bought a nearly new Super C in the mid 1950's. Up until then we had nothing with something as handy as the "Fast Hitch" on the Super C. With it we could pull posts, haul things, and hook up heavy things with that magical hitch. We went to country school and all the roads to it were gravel. One of the parents had Farmall 350 with a "Fast Hitch" and when his road was very muddy in the spring, he brought his kids to school riding on the platform hooked onto the "Fast Hitch".

    Hey Pete, I just wanted to say it’s amazing that you can tare down a Farmall to nothing but a pile of parts, nuts, and bolts and refurbish them and put the Farmall back together in just a few months. I am in awe of your skills. All farmers should have your skills. Thank you for sharing them with us! I’m learning so much!

    What a great series Pete, and I very much appreciate the way you pay attention to detail and how you explain your process. I have a 1961 B414 that I know will need a clutch soon. The very thought of splitting my tractor is intimidating, but watching your videos of this tractor and the others I watch is helpful.
    My wife and I both enjoy watching you and Hillary about your farm chores and how you interact with your animals. We both chuckle when you say “come on cows…. and they come. She called one of our dogs the other day and she said, Pete’s cows listen better than our dog.
    Keep up the great video contents, there are so many of us that enjoy what you both do.

    Really enjoyed this series, my uncle had a Super C and I drove a 200 a lot, I really liked driving them. The MD restoration confirmed what I had always heard, they were complicated tractors. The ones that were around here all eventually were left in the tree groves. The owners always said they were too expensive to repair and their performance vs. a gas M wasn't worth the price to fix. It was still great to see you restore it because of the family history. I enjoy the show and look forward to learning about and following along with your new hog raising plan.

However that being said I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I’m a farm boy, and would love seeing our tractors completely restored as you’re doing with yours. Thanks for always sharing the good, and the bad. I do hope that if you do put your box back on front you paint it with the Farmall colors as if it were a factory piece of equipment.

    Great job! You nailed all the “pre-setting” on carb, timing, etc to get her to start right up like she did. I was impressed. You made her look like new and now you have her running like new as well. Give yourself a pat on the back, you earned it. She sounded anxious to get back to work so when spring comes be prepared to hang on tight! 🥸👍✅

    Love watching you Pete . The pride you must feel when you run this tractor has to be unreal . Can’t wait to see you out running your acres with your new awesome tractor. I just love the small family farmers.
