Squatch! Best wishes with the eye. Take all the time you need. Those of us who are true friends will be here when you're ready. I rushed back to work after a surgery once, and greatly regretted it. As Festus used to say " don't you worry Mathew ( squatch), I'll keep my eyeball pealed!

I have been agonizing for awhile wanting to convey to you just how much you have inspired me to hone my skills on my projects here. But I settled on all that being just a bunch of literary blubbering. You long ago earned my respect and appreciation of the masterful way you hone your craft. There have been times recently that I've been tied down in the hospital too and caring for my wife as well. That is exactly why I own laptops - I'm never away. True Americans are defined in our heritage of building things. You have that precious unique vision of outcome achieved by knowledgeable researched planning, organization, and reliable skills. You also, are fortunate to have your Dad there. He's a Gem and you should cast some scrap iron into a statue of him to put by your monument forever looking forward. I',ll be here when you get back.

What it once was….. No Toby No, this is over the top way better than it came from the factory. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Looks Great! Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you go to your eye appointments. Take care Toby!

Amazing how decals and lights really help things pop. Say: If I catch you grinding, sanding, or welding before your eye is all fixed up, I'll start flagging your videos as being inappropriate. 😉😛

The silver on the exhaust really pops against all the red. Looks amazing!

One thing that really helps amateur restorers like me is to show the tools you use to do a particular job. Most of us have the usual shop tools but the specialty tools really make the difference. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks.

I'm sure the people who designed and built the M would be thrilled with the results your extraordinary craftsmanship. Great work!

You're a man of great patience, painting the manifold with that little tiny brush. I would have had to use a bigger brush! That careful body work takes patience too - I can see there would be a great temptation to rush that along to get quicker results.

Thanks for the video Toby! The intake/ exhaust manifold looks great. The hood is looking good also. Wishing you all the best on your eye surgery. Cheers

good luck with the eyes surgery. hope all goes well. the tractor is just looking better and better. well done....

The toolbox sticker goes that way because it has the phone number on it and if you were in the field and needed to call them on your cell, the number was handy.😊

Good luck at the eye doctors Squatch

Thanks for the video Toby! A few things off the list to get Preparation H to the finish. Looking amazing! Take care of yourself. Well all he here when your back in action. Thanks again and can’t wait for the next video!

Goodluck and get well.

Thanks for the video, and wishing you a quick recovery on what ever they need to do to your eye!

love those farmall rebuild videos. I had a super M. I loved that tractor .. Loved to hear it run. Back when america made something good.

It's looking real good! If I would have known you were doing grille work, I would've brought my H dolly set to Nowthen!

If you don't post for a while getting your eyes fixed it gives us a good opportunity to go back and rewatch some of your old clips. Thanks for the great content!!

Take care and best of luck with the eye!!!

Silver and red stand out well. Btw that must be the nicest Farmall nose I have seen so far. Looks like your grandfather really took care of the machine.

When I saw "Grille" in the title, I thought that you were going to paint the slats gold! 🤣

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

You are a true craftsman,!!!

Very best wishes on your eye surgery and for a swift and complete recovery. Love your work and your channel. Hope to see you ASAP!

Love the paint......she's really starting to take shape and look gorgeous!!! Our thoughts and well wishes are with you with your eye surgery. We'll anxiously await your return. Best wishes always!!

Good morning. This type of detail work makes my brain happy. Thanks for the update.

While I totally understand why you are painting the silver paint on that way, I can't help but remember my dad. He always used the smallest brush he could find for ANY painting job!!! He could turn an hour project into an all day affair! Miss you Dad!

Thank you!

I was itching for this video!! 🤔 . . . .😂😂😅

The H is looking good - like glass! Impressive. Now get your eye back in shape.

That ring finger hammer had me confused till I realized its not a dolly, looking very nice.

It's looking so good it'll be tough taking it to the woods and into the mud. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

So nice to see someone do dent repair that actually understands the proper methods!

As I said many times… you are a skilled individual 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸

Take it easy, you have only two eyes. Let's get that fixed, then this project can be finished. Good luck👍👍👍

Best wishes stay safe listen to the doctors and you will do well.

Toby, not my place nor am I qualified to make this comment..........but if your viewer are falling off perhaps re think the content. I'm a bit of a rev head. Thus, enjoyed the motor stuff. This work Is absolutely amazing just 😮😮😢 keep the faith buddy Semper Fi

Thanks Toby. Enjoyed the video.

Good job on the grill, it looks really nice.

Your job is looking awesome. But your health is number one. Take care of the eye first. Looking forward to future videos after you’re well.

Speedy recovery and all will workout perfectly, you are a guy of perfection, and perfection will follow you. All the best my KZfaq friend🙏👍🏼🤝

Looking good.

You're a jack of all trades. Lol. Good video.

Take care of your health, we'll be here when you get back.

Something I noticed about the toolbox sticker (and truth be told, I'm probably one of the few who will notice it): the phone number is all wrong for the year of the tractor. They didn't start transitioning to the modern style of telephone number we know today until 1947, and wasn't fully adopted everywhere until 1992 (the phone number in 1945 would've been AND-4200). Again, I'm probably one of the few who would notice that, but with your keen attention to detail, I thought you'd like to know. Great work thus far on the H!

Good luck Toby.

I wish you all the best with the eye issue. I am as confident as you are that all will work out well and you'll be back in fine form in no time. The old tractor is looking really good. Taking shape and I am sure when all is done it will be even better than the day it rolled off the assembly line. Always a pleasure watching a true craftsman at work.

Shout out from Australia. Hope all goes well wish you a speedy recovery

Good morning

It is EXTREMELY NICE to see you working on projects. I’m REALLY looking forward to you starting on X.

Seem to remember welding with a concussion and someone getting me sent home 🤪

The old Farmall is looking sweet! Great job! Best of luck with the eye, and a speedy recovery :)

I used to use an aluminum flame spray on exhaust manifolds and pipes. This gave a nice gray (aluminum) color and also rust protection for a very long time.

Wow Toby…it looks like a big, beautiful Christmas toy! Thank you for sharing all this hard work. I’ll include your upcoming surgery in my prayers that it will be successful in every way!

Impressive hammer work with your arms wrapped around a camera.

Wish you the best brother, our community is better for your work. God bless and good night

When you installed the toolbox it made the tractor look like it had two eyes and a mouth😂😂😂

Wish you a full and speedy recovery from the eye issue. All the best to you and yours.

I used the same paint on my jd 52 A when I restored it last fall

Good content. 👍

Nice job scratch

Manifold looks great! I've always loved dent removal it's one of those things that can be almost relaxing just you ,your dolly& hammer &dented up sheet metal! So take care of yourself, best wishes& time to start watching back videos

Prayers for your surgery and healing.

Your tractor is going to be better than new because you put hart and pride in your work. Take care of your self and the eye good luck. Denis from Santa Rosa CA

Always amazed me how a panel beater could tease deformed metalwork back to its original shape by judicious use of a hammer 🔨😮 top marks for that an wish you well for your eye appointment 👍

Good luck with the eye works! I'm keeping all my fingers crossed until the next episode!!!

Nice hammer n dolly work on the grill and wiping out those dings and creases

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery for your eye issue.

All the best with your eye, tractor is looking like a new one

AWESOME CRAFTSMANSHIP as always !!! GOOD LUCK on your surgery CHEERS !!

I want to wish you luck with your eye. A tip when you work sheet metal, you can feel the dents and imperfections better by wearing a cloth clove or using a shop rag, cloth one, between your fingers and the metal. Good Luck, David Adair

Beautiful!

Nice job, get better, we are not going anywhere.

I wish you a speedy recovery, and hope to see you in the shop soon!

Here I am once again enjoying watching paint dry, not sure if that's a reflection of you or me😂 All the best, we will be waiting as patiently as we can😜

Wishing you a strong recovery, Sir

Take care of the eyeball. I don't think the repros are all that great. Nice to see you moving along with your project. You might have to get Rick to come over and help but then it will be Borked up I suppose.

LOL, I ran that casting number in Google, and Walmart has it for sale: Intake & Exhaust Manifold fits International W4 Super H H 350 Super HV 300 Super W4 HV 8033DCX $187.94 😂 Lookin great Toby, can't wait to hear it run when you are ready, take care of your eye.

Get better and completely recovered. Nothing else matters.

Looks great and hope you get fixed up soon with a good recovery

Hope all goes well Toby with your eye.See you when you can. Thanks for the video.

Looking goood. Take it easy Squatch. See you when your back. 👍

Looking great good luck with your eye Prayers 👍🏻🇺🇸

A little paint and some shrink and stretch. Looking good

Looks like everything is shaping up nicely, I can’t wait to see your next segment……. Take care and wish you well with your eye!

Another good ’ visual progress ‘ video! I usually bump the stir stick when I leave it in the can so I can make a really big mess. I’m glad to hear you’re taking good care of that eye, there’s not much call for blind mechanics anymore… I went to the Pioneer Power show Saturday in LeSuere on the off chance I would see you there. I have a brochure from the Earth Moving Museum in Elkader Iowa I wanted to give to you in order to entice you to visit it. Holts and Caterpillars from the beginning and rows of hulks and parts in the back lot that is at least as interesting as the machines inside.

That's really looking good, good luck with your eye exam. 😮

I used a "cast iron" color high temp spray paint on the whole manifold on my cub, as well as the rest of the underslung exhaust, looks very good. I also used your grounding idea on my headlights as well, thanks.

MAN THAT LOOKS LOVELY

Take your time in recovery,you have only one set.Your lucky to have 2 eyes,I was never that lucky as I just have one.Take all the time you need.

Lovely 😊 Good luck with the eye ! 🤞🏻

Great job looks awesome I wish it was going to be mine afterwards lol 😂 thanks for sharing

Good luck with the eye surgery. Praying for your quick recovery.

Good luck Toby can’t wait till you are back to full strength

those grilles fit better bent up than perfect for some reason :D

As always learned a few things and picked up a few tricks! Maybe a video on what to put in your tool box! I suppose a few tools for the tractor itself, a few common or handy tools, maybe fence pliers for those with fence lines, etc., but what would a guy want for a plow tractor in the field or for haying or cultivating or harvesting? I have two old IH wrenches for implements waiting to get cleaned and painted so I wonder what else do I gather up to put in the box on the tractor?

Appreciate all your videos. You spend alot of time on them and it shows!

We will be waiting.

Looks great! Best wishes for your eye!
