Oh my word, I was cracking up from the Justin Rhodes comment through the apron's cremation. Well done, Pete!

My son and I worked with our neighbor to fix his old tractors until he died a few years ago. We enjoyed watching the old iron come alive again.

It pains me to see old tractors like the MD sitting derelict and rotten in a field forgotten, they are what made modern farming in America what it is today. They deserve a second chance so I’m glad to see you’re preserving history even if it’s one tractor at a time.

Pete, this is my dream to have a small farm and some tractors. Thank you so much for making these videos.

You seem in better spirits this time. That’s what a little goofing does to you. Got to have fun sometimes

Love the funeral respect for the old gear ! To funny 😂

Love the channel, so hang in there! Yes, it is not a great feeling when someone has a discouraging comment about your passion. But I hope you let it go and remember that most of us are behind you! And I can tell from this episode that you know that; pig soccer & soldier’s funeral for the apron were hilarious!

An old bowling ball is what I used for my pigs, and it won't pop and it last longer then one batch of pigs.

You’re doing a great service for the do-it-yourself farm mechanics Pete! Even if it’s not the same machine they’re working on, the process you’re laying out is superb.

Enjoying your tractor restoration videos. Just one small project at a time.

Pete you're the man with your video sequencing. I love the farming and animals, but the tractor restoration is a great winter change of pace. Can't wait to see the front half complete.

My grandchildren really appreciate me thouoh after watching you for a while. We're going to ride our motorcycles. The heck with her mom and dad😅😅😅

Don’t change a thing in your videos. I am learning a lot, including some interesting🤔 jokes. Your channel is one of my favorites. You will always have a few naysayers, but the majority of us value your stories!

You are the "Andy Rooney " of tractor restoration!!

Pete, I realize that you likely may not see this comment, but I wanted to say thanks anyways. I am slowly working my way through your videos of the MD restoration you did a couple of years ago now. Thanks. I saw Squatch's comment on your previous video and like that too. Everything I know about Farmall tractors is because of watching your's and Squatch's videos. Thanks again.

You are so knowledgeable, down to earth and honest. I enjoy the videos just to listen to you, I don't really care what you're doing. Lol! God Bless!

Another great video from Pete thank you

Thank you for taking me back to my younger days.. I used to help my dad work in the garage on tractors..farm equipment..farm trucks.. regular vehicles.. I learned so much helping him.. I really enjoyed it.. You are doing a great job!!

When you take the pigs to the butcher remind them of the soccer ball incident.

Pete you’re a talented man. Can’t wait to see the MD done! Gonna be awesome!

Hi there Pete, really enjoy your and Hillary's recorded efforts around the farm. Very entertaining and down to earth. Cheers from down under.

Love keeping up with the restoration of this beautiful tractor.Huge respect and support from the UK.

After a really hard day at school, this is just what I needed.

Got a good wife, to help you like she does. Just a bit of simple advice. I didn't see you put blocks around those wheels, just in case it decided to shift when it gets bumped. If they are there, ignore this, please. Glad to see the progress you're making. I watch every tractor restoration video you put up.

Pete, love your videos, a farmer friend of mine gives his hogs old bowling balls to play with, hours of fun and they can't really damage them.

That’s cool you do all this painting yourself !

Doin a great job there Pete ! 👍🚜😎

Awesome! I am very much enjoying the videos. It really reminds me of working on the farm... helping my Dad as a kid. I fondly remember the tear down and rebuild of a 40s era John Deere A! I know...you don't care for the Green Machines! Thanks again, ignore the nay sayers, and doing things your way!

I love old tractors! Great video! We have a 1949 Farmall H we are working on.

I stumbled across your channel about a week ago and I am hooked. I am in the process of purchasing a small 5 acre vegetable farm and have found some inspiration in your videos. Thanks!

My Dad was an antique tractor collector. I wasn't into it like my brother, but now as I have aged, I have started to appreciate it. He passed away a few years back, but I have a couple of his tractors. I enjoy your videos because one of these days I will be working on those two tractors. As well as a couple of his old trucks. I find it very educating watching your tractor restoration. You make restoration about as interesting as it can possible be without boring people to sleep. You did a nice job breaking up your video in segments to make the whiners happy also. Keep up the good work.

Really enjoy you & your channel. Can't exactly figure out why...i don't have a tractor. Do enjoy your sense of humor immensely. Stay warm! 😁🐒🐔

You are a very good example o've how to be a self sustaining farmer....Regards...

We used to hang a milk jug just off the floor for our show pigs to play with. Great video

Justin Rhodes is the chicken ninja master. Pete is the antique tractor ninja master lol.

Couple days late didn’t get to finish this video the day it came out been busy here in the Midwest just like you with -0 weather waters all frozen all the time goats kidding pigs farrowing love this weather I don’t know why it always reminds me of when I was a kid out on the farm great video almost on the down hill of the md

Ok, enough is enough... Time to get some work done! Ha ha ha! Just kidding bud. Keep on keeping on - you do you AND what works for you, and we will keep watching! Looking forward to hearing that MD crank up for the first time!

We really enjoy these videos, excellent mentorship, fatherly type advice, hard work and live for what you do. Love the dad jokes like everyone else. Best if luck staying warm and THANK YOU....

I am not going to quit restoring my 1963, International Farmall Tractor. I am finishing the teardown and starting the cleanup. up of all the parts. I am a little bit older than you are and my hands do not like to work the way they are supposed to. I am inspired by the way tell a story as you are working. you do a great job of cleaning. I take it one day at a time.

Nice job soldering the radiator. I am afraid my luck doesn't run from the same cup as yours! I always have to take my radiator rebuilds to the shop so a professional can do it for me! LOL Cheers! Whipple

Pete, I grew up on a farm/ranch in MS. My dad and grand dad managed a large Angus cattle ranch that consisted of 6 relatively large parcels in 4 counties from the late 40s - mid 70s. We had lots of pasture and raised corn, cut it for silage for winter feed. My maternal grand parents owned a 400 acre farm close by. They had cattle and farmed soybeans. All ran Farmall equipment. I was a little too young to drive the super Cs, Hs, Ms and Super Ms but I have a good many hours on 806s and 856s. I have seen many Ms at the shop being rebuilt and painted. I actually own an early model H (tractor fuel) and a LP Gas Super M that need to be restored. love all your videos, they remind me of a great time in my life. Keep them coming!

Loved the memorial service for the old apron! Gave me a good laugh at your taps. 😂🤣😝

Ever since I found your channel I have had a great pleasure from watching your videos. Sometimes I ask why is he doing that, that way usually if I wait it becomes clear.I have noticed that many people jump in and berate others for not doing things the same way as them. As one of my mentors used to say: "There are many ways to skin a cat and none of them are good for the cat when it is naked"! Keep up the good work. You have a fan here down under NZ

Thanks so for your efforts documenting farm life and the DIY mechanical work; and the ingenuity involved that is very difficult to teach without doing or at least seeing!!

I enjoy the cleanup and refurbishment, it's a necessary step too. Personally, I really enjoy the series. This is getting really exciting with reassembly and paint! Thanks Pete!

Always cheerful watching a positive instructor at work.Your old apron had history embedded in all the grime,congratulations on new attire best suited to the job..

I like the way you turned this video into a 2fer... A little farming and a little restoration. As an old farmer, I enjoy seeing both sides. Not much snow here in western Minnesota but we did hit -20 last night.

1st time I watched 1 of your videos 2 minutes after you uploaded it. great job, great video, funny pigs. wise farmer his name is Pete.

Great video and great progress

The restoration continues to fascinate me....the experience & knowledge....amazing! Another great video...playful pigs & a fitting end to the old work “apron””.”

Country View Acres gave you a shout-out today 😁 they are good folks.

Pete, You are the best in the business and one of only two youtubers that I have sent a gift to (lol). I am glad you got so many responses and felt the love. Keep it up sir!

I enjoy your saying "We'll keep pushing that rope, and we'll see you next time" Good stuff Pete. Nice soldering work.

Pete, I loved the honorable incineration of your old shop apron! Classic!! 😊

Thanks, I needed something like this today!

Thanks Pete We had an MD on our farm in Adams County PA There were many days spent plowing with a 3 bottom disc plow. It does my heart good to see you tearing down your MD and seeing what they are made of. Keep up the good work I will be watching and looking toward the completion of your worthwhile project

Squatch is the MAN when it come to restorations. Any kind words from him were well earned. Keep up the good work. See if you can develop an eye twitch like Squatch253 LOL.

Very cool Pete!

I have seen this many times that people get discouraged when they only look at the whole project when checking their progress. It's much better to divide it into small goals so it doesn't overwhelm you. Each goal reached adds to the feeling of accomplishment.

Hi Pete. I really really enjoy your videos. I too am a small scale farmer in Sweden and KZfaqr so watching your videos and following your life on your farm is very inspiring and rewarding for me. On the subject of ‘doing things wrong’ I can really relate. With no farming background myself I have to learn everything from scratch. I used to be worried about what others though and their opinions on my mistakes. Now I’ve learned to see my mistakes as a strength and sort of a gift that I’m giving to others. What inspires me more that doing something ‘right’ is the thought that by just showing myself doing something I might help someone else believe that they too can try for themselves. I know it’s happened to me watching your and others videos. It’s an empowering thing to show others that making mistakes is part of it, because often it’s just that which keeps us from believing we can and start doing what we love. Keep em videos coming! Loving every minute! 👍❤️

Another fine tutorial video on the MD! Love the humor you add in at different times, really keeps it all so interesting! Glad to hear you got the support, you deserve! Thank you for bringing us along and look fwd to the next video! Thank you

Another great video Pete. Funny, I’ll bet most of your subscribers and watchers aren’t farmers or mechanics. You are just very good at illustrating your life on your small farm that draws people in. I will be waiting the next installment!

Number one show every day, looking forward to the next one .

Good video Pete. It's a cold day here and I just put in a fire. Sit back, let it catch, and watch A Few Acres... happy.

I got a bunch of sub par bowling bowls from a local bowling alley and gave them to our last pig.

I really enjoy watching your videos you always make me smile I have coveralls that are just like that oil grease spray polyurethane and bedliner coatings also fish gurry also they get dirty when you're gutting out a deer on the beach

Enjoy watching your channels, especially the tractor restoration. Thank you for sharing it!

Fun is important.

The piglets are getting so big!

You’re awesome! I enjoy your videos! You are living my dream. I am setting up to live my retirement years the same way. Thank you 🇺🇸❤️

As always fun and informative, thanks

I'm first year farming with a tractor. And this is awesome knowledge your sharing. It's helping keep my farm going. Cause the little Farmall does a lot of good. Just got 60 something orchard trees in the ground in Florida.. thank you for sharing

Can't wait to see the tractor finished. You're doing an amazing job with it

really enjoying the rebuild. it was nice to see the little monsters. enjoy seeing what's going on on the farm.

Excellent video

I'm looking forward to seeing it back in its glory letting out a big of diesel soot like it would have in its day

Great content Pete

Sweet apron! Good on them for sending it.

It’s great to see your perfect surface preparation! Great video

Pete, your signature and that apron would’ve been a great auction item to fundraiser for your local FFA or 4H clubs. Sad to see it go. Thanks for sharing such great detail on the MD resto. I own an International 140 I hope to “frame off” resto one day. Bought it from the original owner/farmer who I worked for in high school. Great history!

another great video. Thanks

Thanks for the video!

My dad put bowling balls in the pig pen to keep them busy.

When I restored the MF35 I got overwhelmed, not by that as much as I was still busy farming...there was almost two years I didn't work on it after I started building the engine. When I put my mind to it, it really was enjoyable and it turned out great. I am enjoying your tractor project, thanks for the videos. BTW, I found good water temp. gages at my local parts house. I was surprised the quality...

I am new to you, Pete. Came over from Evan at Country View Acres.... I am already a fan of yours. Thanks, Pete.....

Hi! I am writing this at 3am Eastern stand time.🤦🏻‍♂️😂 I may be late but I’m here! I’m wondering if you have certain days you post, I just watch the videos I don’t really dig that deep.🙂 Thanks in advance and love the MD series!🙂 Also I wasn’t expecting the fire, but that was fantastic.😂

Love the fun jab at Justin. ;) Your videos are so inspiring and something to look forward to. I'm a fairly new sub and I'm binge-watching through older videos. God bless!

Thanks 😊

Another great video!

Looking forward to paint. It's something I've never done but would sure like too!

I can only imagine. Keep up the good work buddy loving it!!

You always get a thumbs up Pete! Thanks for the videos.

Hi Pete and Hillary. Evan from Country View Acres sent me over. Being raised in Hamburg NY I love those snow scenes. Now in Harmony community of NE TN. Keep up the tractor videos.

Keep up the great work Pete! I love seeing these videos! As soon as I get the notification I can’t wait to come home and watch after a long day in the navy! Hopfully get my hands on an MD someday! Have a 40M, 53 stage 2 super H, and my late grandfathers 56 John Deere 320 at the moment up at my sisters place.

Pete - you make me laugh! I really enjoy your videos, new subscriber.

Good job 👍

Great video, great content.. 💯👌👍💯

Evan at country view acres recommended your channel on his last video and after watching this one and enjoying it , i am looking forward to the next one. Best wishes from Scotland

I'm in approval. Not because I would do it the same way, much, if not most; I probably would anyway. You're the type that keeps his nose to the grind stone and knows that a thorough job is a job worth doing. The payoff on this project will be, functioning equipment for years to come and therapeutics through the winter dull drums. About the soccer ball. Mama always said us kids would tear up an iron ball. Maybe...

Excellent video Pete :) like 👍 steps taking on fixing up this tractor and so excellent also enjoy every time put new video updates how goes each time! Plus wonderfull to and enjoy nice fun jokes too!
