Nothings more fun than feeding the hobby with an item you can use and enjoy! Congratulations on your new acquisition!

I bet Millard is excited to see someone buy his tractor who will restore and use it and be as proud of it as he once was. Love to see it Pete!!

So nice to see a good transaction between a good seller and a good buyer. That tractor came from a good home and is going to a good home.

Good for you Pete. Hope you teach Millard how to watch you make hay with his old tractor. You could tell he was very proud of the condition he had kept it in all those years.

Your happiness in obtaining this new addition for your hobby was radiating right through the screen. 👏🏻

Pete: I'm the guy who worked for IH and sold the 990 mower conditioner that we demonstrated with an 856D, a company owned tractor turned up to around 140hp. The custom came out during my time with the company. Absolutely thrilled that you found one in fantastic original condition-they're rare. Looking forward to your restoration. Thanks for the great videos!

Pete, I wish you could see the grin on my face while watching this video. I grew up on a dairy farm, but it “wasn’t my thing” in my teens and twenties. I married a city boy who has never experienced country life and had no desire for it. As I aged and my eyes were opened more and more to this deteriorating country, I began to long for that rural, simple life again. Finally, my husband’s eyes were opened 31/2 years ago (😉) and we started homesteading on our minuscule 2 acres. We aren’t in a position to purchase more land yet, but we are at least on the same page now, and hope to purchase at least 20 acres in the future. We are in our late forties now, so hopefully we will make that jump soon. Pete, you’re channel is so incredible. You and your family bring me so much joy, real joy. May God continue to bless you. Congrats on your new addition. 🚜

Glad that tractor found you, i think it deserved its new life.

My mom lived in Cattaraugus county (married my dad and moved to North Carolina) and the couple of times we got to visit Delevan, I was always amazed at just how beautiful the land was there. Thanks for the glimpse of NY countryside. Love your channel!

As a young teacher, needing extra income, I did a lot of work for a guy who was an IH Purest, nothing but red on his ranch. He would have loved these posts. A red tractor, a pack of Big Red gum and he was all set. That relationship turned out to be one of the more important in my life. I think about Harvey and Jean every time I see those tractors on JFW. Thanks

Pete and 856 = LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT 😃😃😃😃😃

I spent hundreds of hours on one of those, strong, reliable, favorite tractor of all time.

Nice work Pete, it would be great to see all of your 56 series fully restored and painted one day. I know the 656 is a 'daily driver' but that would look so cool in your barn. Even better would be to see you, your Dad and Henry all out on the field together, each with his own 56! Looking forward to the restoration.

I was all smiles watching this video, once you worked that TA I knew it was coming home with you! That 856 is a sweet sounding and sweet looking machine, good for you Pete!

Now you going to have to add anothers stall to the pole barn............the red heard keeps growing!

Always exciting to add a new member to the herd Hope she's a diamond for you! We love you're videos and have been watching from the beginning - Danvers Ma

❤💚❤Just one word for your all videos❤💚❤ 💚💚💚Awesome💚💚💚

Small boys- small toys, big boys-big toys. Have fun and enjoy

The McCormick Co. should fund you and farmers like you who restore and keep the Farmall machines working.

I can think of no other better hobby to be involved with. NICE buy!

That's a pretty nice old survivor... Good plan to grab it. One can't help feeling a bit sad when looking at these old farms that are dwindling away. I grew up in rural Maine in the 50s and 60s, and all the farms that were in production are long gone. Many of them bulldozed and now sport parking lots for malls that are themselves now becoming obsolete. (The farms had a longer run than the malls it seems!) Thanks for taking us along!

Congratulations another in a series of love and respect of farming tractors.

You got More trackters than animals on the farm Its just great to see these Videos

Your restoration work on the tractors is just beautiful. It makes me feel good to know that some of these great pieces of farm equipment are being preserved for present and future generations. Thank you.

Pete, congratulations on your new tractor! I know how exciting it is for you because it’s your hobby and I look forward to seeing you using your new acquisition around the farm❤

Thats one of those tractors you get a good feeling about. That feller is selling you his right arm .

When you cut to the owner sitting on the tractor and he popped off that strong sounding engine...I was pretty sure it would be coming home. Congratulations on the purchase!

She sure is going to be beautiful after you get her all dolled up, Pete! 🚜 😁 It probably makes the seller extremely satisfied to know his baby is going to be well cared for & appreciated. 🤗

The previous owner will be happy that you’ve brought this tractor especially after owning it for so long. Looking forward to watching your restoration videos.

I still have my Grandfathers 856 Custom. Still runs like new.

The smile at the end says it all. Enjoy, and thank you for sharing your buying experience with us.

I think you DO need that tractor. Life is short. If it makes you happy go for it.

Congrats on your new baby Pete....as a boy who grew up on a farm in Zululand, South Africa, I identify with your passion and excitement for machines from your youth. Thanks also for sharing your farming journey with us....

I love your passion for old tractors Pete,not like a lot of people who only hanker for brand new and shiny stuff.☺️☺️

That smile on the face says it all... We all knew you'd buy it. Tractor prices for a lot of this era is on the up and these tractors have stood the test. Same over this side of the pond and people have found a lot of uses for so called older tractors

I was wondering when it was to happen. A new baby

Great addition! Can’t wait to see it in the upcoming videos.

Really clean and well taken care of. Great find!

Pete has a nice way of negotiating. Instead of pointing out every defect in a 50 year old piece of equipment, he noted the good features while doing his critical assessments. Still bought the tractor and now has a new friend.

Pete, you did a great job of road testing the 856 looking for issues! It's the battle of need vs. want that every old farm equipment lover faces when something pops up on marketplace. Last year I brought home a beautifully preserved 1956 Ontario grain drill bought from the original owner near Warsaw NY. Wooden box, original pinstripes and lettering, always cleaned out and oiled after use. Did I need it? No, I already have a John Deere FBA drill. But it was love at first sight. Now I have two drills (in case the neighbor needs to borrow the John Deere!) If possible, do what brings you joy (life is too short), make good buying decisions, AND try to keep your wife happy! I think you did all three on this deal, but we haven't heard from Hillary yet!

Looks like it has been taken care of. Great find!

I enjoy all of your videos Pete. Can't wait for you to restore this one.

I think you need more tractors. You take good care of them. This one is a beast

I’m 40 now and I started driving a 300 Farmall when I was 7. Then a M Farmall, 1466 turbo, 1486 and 7130. Last large tractor farming was a JD 8400. Cut hay and baked with a 2294. Raked with a Ford 8N. Loaded hay with a 560 rice special. Rolled the 560 but was spared by the home made canopy but landed on old plexiglass from when it was used to feed hay in the rain. Found myself staring up at the rear tire rotating above my head. It bent the floor of the tractor in the rear. No 3 point on the 560. Had a PTO.

Congrats, Pete! I love seeing the success of the channel and you being able to reward yourself for your labor.

LOVED this video...loved seeing the beautiful countryside with the old farm houses and barns...that tractor is awesome too! Thanks for taking all of us with you...

Congratulations on finding a honest good running 856 Pete!!!

Congratulations! Cant wait to see you putting it to work

Thanks for uploading and sharing you life with us, hope your family and you are well.

Great new addition to the collection!! 🚜☀️👍🏻

That Super C towards the end is the best C that I have seen in a while!

So happy for you. Sounds great and looks good. Thank you for sharing

Congratulations Pete! Can’t wait to see working on the farm. That was a great purchase and well taken care of FH by the owner.

It's awesome seeing you get to apply your knowledge about what did and did not come on these tractors and share it with us. It'll be fun to see what the 856 looks like with some attention and fresh paint.

Boy can one imagine that new tractor all cleaned up and painted... Wow..🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

Now you need to acquire more land since your turning radius has expanded. 🚜😉

Pete, your videos are just so enjoyable you’re a real quality, former keep the good work up

Congratulations on your new addition. I look forward to seeing more of her. What history these old tractors hold. Thanks, Pete, for keeping that history alive. ❤

Excited to see what you do with this one.

Congratulations Pete !

Thanks Pete,I really enjoyed your video. It was informative on what to look for when purchasing a vintage tractor and while I don’t share your passion of tractors I sure do appreciate the time and effort you put in to correctly restoring these iconic tractors that you use on your farm. Hope you have fun. Can’t wait to see this beauty working on your farm

I absolutely love my 856, came from your neck of the woods too!

I’m so happy for you Pete! We need some new videos of the F-20 doing some work!

Congrats on the new tractor! Looking forward to the updates & seeing it put ti work!

I think you did your due diligence in all aspects and knowing what you do I'm sure it's going to work just fine for you. Good luck with it, I enjoyed watching, have a nice Sunday!

I can see you now behind the wheels of your newest acquisition. Congratulations. You know Pete, it doesn't feel like Sunday until I see your vlog. Keep up the Good work. God Bless you and the family.... Howdy from Shreveport Louisiana.

Great buy. I'm glad you are able to keep them alive.

Congrats! Love it!

Can’t wait to see the 3 “56” series restorations! You do such a great job explaining how to do them. I love all your videos and the wisdom you share. Thanks for letting us into your families lives! Maybe start with the 856 and work down from there? :)

Congratulations on the 856. My dad got my grandpa's 856 Wheatland after he passed. Plowed alot of ground with that tractor. You are correct on the nostalgia. There is something unique about growing up and learning to drive tractors that sticks with you.

My dad bought one when I was little. After we put 8000 hours on it, I rebuilt the engine and basically made a 1456 out of it. I was still farming 500 acres with it when I sold the farm in '16.

Grew up helping the neighbor on his farm. He had Farmall's and IH's. 400 Farmall, 806 narrow front, then an 866(?), from that to a 1466 (which I loved to use!). He also got a 666(?) That we used for cultivating and baling. The 400 was still used to haul hay wagons to the barn. Good old days and fond memories!

That tractor definitely seems like a beast. Can't wait to see you tinker on it and put it to work. Great learning experience on tractor shopping as well 👍

There is no such thing as to many Tractors Pete. I think that is a nice addition to your collection. Keep bringing the videos coming.

Congratulations Pete, cant wait to watch you paint her up and use it on the farm!

Congratulations! Looking forward to the journey with your new addition!

That’s one of the best tractors ever made

I was hoping you would buy it! It really seems like a well taken care of tractor and looking forward to seeing videos about it new life thank you for great content.

I look forward to seeing the restoration. You do such a great job it makes it like we are there with you.

Happy for you , Pete . You deserve it .

Looks like a really nice, honest tractor! Congrats on the great find Pete! ...and BTW, I think you did a really good job containing your excitement on this new acquisition. Those of us that have gotten to know you a bit through your videos could see hints of the "kid in a candy store", wanting to bust out. Maybe an "Oh Yeah!" Mixed with a few fist pumps. lol

That tractor looked very straight and sounded nice .also its owner looked honest and reliable . You have a nice machine there .

Can't wait to see it working. Seems like great tractor

Congratulations on your new purchase Pete!! Thank you for sharing!!

856 is a hard tractor to beat. Absolutely love it

I never had an international tractor before but after watching your videos I bought a 966. She's a project for sure got to rebuild pto & got some leaks. I love it way better than any other tractor I used/owned.

Yes!! I can't wait to see the restoration!! I know you take pride in your equipment!! Have a great day Pete!!

Congrats - it will be fun seeing this new addition put to work and also tidied up a bit

Yes love it Pete all you need know is a 1256 and 1456

Congratulations Pete! Millard was as great a find as the tractor.

Happy for you, and for us, looking forward to a happy restauration project

Great tractors find!!!! Enjoyed seeing the beautiful farm houses..

Now I understand. I was wondering why you needed another tractor. You’re a collector! Thank you for explaining that. As I watched you looking at that tractor, I was thinking how great that would look if you freshened it up with paint, decals and a new seat! The man you bought that from sure looked like a nice man. Since he had kept that tractor, I’ll bet it was important to him. It appears he took good care of it.

Well now you have to build a new garage. There is now way that thing fits into your current shop. 😅

Good video Pete, nice to see you expanding your collection.

enjoyed the trip! thanks again Pete

I love that tractor, Pete. As someone who collects older cars or tractors, your new 856 is exactly what you hope to find. It is pretty much original, not beat up, not worked or driven to death, had decent maintenance throughout its life, and not had a bunch of owners. I was excited as soon as you walked up to it. The best part for the seller is it couldn't be going to a better home.

That’s fantastic Pete!

Great tractor, Pete get it going!

Looked like a nice straight tractor glad you got it 😊
