It's always funny that people will put so much time into painting, but won't even bother to clean anything first. I've seen old machine tools where you just peel off 8 layers of paint, clean it up, and the original paint at the bottom still looks fine!

My grandfather had a metal lathe that we couldn't tell what year model anything on because it had so much paint on it. I'm not joking when I say when we stripped the paint off of it it had 21 layers of paint on it.

Really depends on what type of machine we are speaking of. Big Tools are painted to keep looking fresh. They some time even painted them new so that the original paint does not go bad or its not the color of their shop. Painting also helps with theft or people trying to sell your machine. I have seen massive amounts of things painted and its hard seeing a machine that has years and years of paint on it. I spent 2 solid weeks stripping, sanding and cleaning up a massive 18 inch jointer for someone. I spent so much time removing layers and layer of paint. I sanded and fixed a lot of castings marks and made it look very nice and we painted it a bright yellow and polished all the knobs and handles along with paint on them. A few years later the guy died and the original owner of the machine came and got it for a stupid low price (100 dollars ) and now it sits under cover in one of his buildings to never be used again. I worked 2 weeks and was paid and traded for some stuff. The hours I put in to that machine and it was sold for 100 bucks. FFS.

I had no doubt. Many years ago, a National Guard construction troupe was doing some winter exercises in a swamp in Western Minnesota. They were using an International TD-24 tractor/dozer. The machine fell through the ice in a swamp, and the machine was under water. The Guard unit left it to rust. Forty-Three years later, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources wanted the machine out of the swamp. A group of preservationists, along with two heavy duty wreckers fished the machine out of the swamp,and hauled it to Perham, Minnesota. It was worked on, and now runs and works. The machine is on display at the fairgrounds in Perham, Minnesota, where it moves and works during festivals on the grounds.

The old Koehler engines have mechanical fuel pumps that would have outlasted the pyramids if they hadn't put alcohol in the fuel. The Cubs were gravity fed so not that big of an issue but the Wheelhorse tractors have a tank under the seat. I have 2 that you used to have to breathe some life into before I put electric fuel pumps on. The springs that close the check valves in the pump are steel which pretty much disintegrate in water which alcohol gathers. So yep, if you want it to start, pucker up and give that fuel tank a big sloppy one. The tounge thing is optional and not recommended.... Terry from South Carolina

My family used to own an early to mid 70's Cub Lawn tractor (the model with the taller than usual rear wheels). It's amazing how over engineered and powerful small tractors were back then. I also really love and appreciate (looking back now) how EVERYTHING was metal and robust with no cheap plastic panels or weak alloy components. They had real weight to them because the frame and cases were thick steel that made them far more stable to mow on steep hilly areas by proving the traction and lower center of gravity needed. You can't forget about the proper PTO that allows that small tractor to be used as a real tractor when needed. Watching this video makes me want to start hunting down an old unit to restore and replace my current plastic, composite, alloy, and thin sheet metal framed 2019 Cub.

At some point the number of projects will certainly out number the life span of even the oldest person ever in existence... The number of projects he has started are amazing. But I personally have never seen but maybe one or two finish at this point. I think he just loves to get old equipment and make them run. Than the challenge is gone and he moves on to the next. JMHO

When I moved my Mom down to Georgia from NY to take care of her 4 years ago, I bought a 16' cargo trailer to bring down her stuff. I left behind her Wheel Horse tractor they bought new in the mid 70's. It was still operational and my sister's husband used it to cut her lawn afterwards. There was much I wanted to bring down, but I filled the trailer with about 5,000 lbs. of her stuff and with a 37HP tractor to mow my lawn I didn't really "need" the Wheel Horse. It was really in very good condition as it was used every year, stored in a barn and battery removed every winter. Glad to see yet another piece of vintage steel brought back to life!

Did that bring back memories. I had one just like yours. It had been bored and rebuilt just before I got it. I plowed snow with it for six or seven years before I got my first Kubota. That ole Cub was one tough "mother". I had chains on the rear and with a 52" blade. I shamed a guy on our street with a 25hp full dress green mach. The Kohler engine had 7hp label on the housing. I was rolling 10" of snow in high gear because of the blade geo. He was spinning out in low and his blade was actually pushing down on the snow rather getting under and rolling it off. He stopped me and asked "how many hp does that thing have?' I Just flipped the hood up, he saw that 7hp, muttered a expletive and went in the house. Never saw him again..... Nice work on your part-keep up the variety..

Its great that you have "saved" these tractors from the scrap pile.

If 25+ years as an aircraft mechanic taught me anything. it was clean is good and contaminated, with heaven knows what, was not good. A few minutes general cleaning would pay benefits in the end.

Both were great machines. Back when they were made by International Harvester they were well designed and over engineered. Today the Cub Cadet name is owned by MTD and they are designed and built like all the other MTD machines.

I have an old 125 Hydro. I got it on a trade for a motorcycle that I had zero dollars into. So it cost me nothing. Someone painted it RED, which is horrible, but that damn thing is the best tractor that I have ever had. Always starts, always works and will pull a freaking house - if you let it! She a beaut and wouldn't trade it or sell it for the world.

Hurricane Larry's rains I guess? Love your hi-tech words like "yumminess"! My memory of the unforgettable smell of ether was when I had my tonsils out when I was seven years old: not yesterday! That old IH tractor was like a bucking bronco when you first put her into gear. Well done to get her running after more than a decade.

There is just something about 60’s equipment, like the fact it doesn’t care how dirty the carb is, its just eager to run.

Rewatching this video reminds me of childhood in Mt. Pleasant. Ted Burrier my older neighbor used coffee cans to put loose parts. Long ago memory..59 years.

Matt, nothing gets me to smile from ear to ear when you shout “FIRE” and that motor comes to life and your giddy afterwards. It’s your trademark man! I’m glad you’ve got that little engine back to life as I’m truly sorry what you and your town had to endure with this gnarly flood! But I want to also applaud you, you have 200K views after just 1 day, that means you’ve got a STRONG and genuine following! Those numbers speak volumes of your fine work you share with us! Keep rocking!

I'm located in the Nevada desert and floods are not very common, but much more violent. Congratulations on buying a contact points file. It might take some gettin' use to, but silica deposits from sandpaper or a finger nail file will be a thing of the past. I've had the same one for over 50 years. Next you might look for a "Dog bone wrench" for female square drain plugs. Some older ones are not the common 3/8" or 1/2" size that you can use a socket wrench on. I really like your videos so keep 'em coming.
