Your sweet smart father reminds me of quality time with my own father. He is long gone, but those precious moments together are priceless and forever. Thanks for sharing!!

I’m a 13 year old from Michigan and you inspired me to start a farm

That truck would make a good eyecatcher for a mobile farm stand.

You're so lucky to have your dad! I sure miss mine... Nice job!

Pete, No matter how many subscribers you get, I never want you to change how you make your videos. Keep up the good work!

My Dad died at 27, put him in the ground on my 28th birthday. Been gone longer than I was with , Pete enjoy your treasure. One shot it was like Henry was watching you.

For your Dad’s age he is in great shape!

Nice to have a father and mentor with the same interest and passions.

A 3/8 '" fine thread nut will thread over the end of the valve stem also, and a warm tire setting it out in the sun, will conform much easier to the rim rather than a cold tire. Pete you are so lucky to be able to work with your dad! I miss mine dearly.

Your Father reminds me of my Dad a man , so much talents and a great teacher for my family to learn . He was a farmer and a truck driver he delivered studi Baker cars and trucks in the 1950 to 1968 you know the rest of the story . Remember safety is number one on your farm .

Seeing you and your dad together sure made me miss my dad.

Awesome to see your dad still passing knowledge at yalls ago

I liked to see you and your dad working together.

Seeing you and your dad working on the starter shows that the apple doesn’t fall from the tree in your family!

Enjoyed this video immensely, Pete. Seeing your dad and listening to him is awesome. Keep up the great videos

We can learn so much from our father’s and friends. All we have to do is listen 👂.

Sightly inflating the tube and coating with baby powder helps prevent the tube from wrinkling and pinching.

When putting the second bead on a rim start putting it on opposite of the valve stem,a little talcum powder inside the tire will keep the tube from sticking to the tire

Love the old truck. Great to see your dad and his friend help you with the starter and bucket. When working with old machinery access to a professional mechanic is terrific. Access to a machinist is priceless.

Your dad looks like he could be your brother!!! You're gonna love the QA. So nice swapping implements quickly and effortlessly!

A restoration on that truck is a must....the body is beautiful ESPECIALLY for a New York rust belt truck

Never seen the inside of a starter before. Very interesting. Always nice when your Dad makes an appearance!

Key words..." When the engine gets back"...hope springs eternal.

Great one Pete. So good to see you and your Dad working together. It's a big effort to film, edit, and post the videos and it is appreciated.

Pete..... I know you'll do what you want to do.... that's one of the things I really like and respect about you. And I know you don't provide content solely to increase your subscriber numbers........ however, I guaran-damn-tee there would be great interest in restoring that groovy truck....... enough perhaps to crack the elusive 100k mark :-) I can see you packing it up with your goodies and heading off to market!!

That International truck is terrific! If it were me, I would restore it, add a refrigerated box to the back and use it to transport your product to the farmer’s market. With some nice logos, it would be an awesome advertising piece.

Good tip to deflate the tube to allow it is relax and realign itself inside the tire. Pigs are growing fast now. Restoring that old 1 ton and making it a refrigerated box truck would make a great truck to haul your food to the farmers market.

Ooooo... that ol' truck would make a fine weekend-go-to-market rig, with a flatbed to stage off of. Nice ol' corn binder rig.

Pete. What i usually do with the tube as well and tire is coated it with baby powder helps it from getting caught and pre-maturely wearing (from my experience) than ripping.

Pete - the smaller inside diameter of the wheel is called "the drop center." Keep up the good work!

Another great, informative video, thanks Pete. I really admire your relationship with your dad, he's a wealth of knowledge. Keep the great content coming, it is much appreciated.

Nice video with your dad Pete. I spent a lot of time with my dad too. He passed 9 years ago and I sure do miss him.

Great video buddy thanks your father did a great job showing us about the starter

Love listening to your Dad.

Dads are awesome.... enjoy his presence while you have him.... My father passed in 2016 and With him he took alot of wealth of knowledge with him... much that cant be replaced

Pete, that is SO cool, that you can reverse the ring gear on that piece. NICE WORK. Thanks for sharing. Ted and Patti, in New Jersey

Great video father and son working together and imparting knowledge from different eras of time to pass on for the future.👍

Pete your a blessed man to have your father at the age you are and he is a blessed man to have a son like you . Lost my father when I was 13 it was hard to remember everything he tought me and do thing like he did I figured it out and have had a good life thank you for sharing

I've changed a lot of starter ring gears. No need to heat them as you remove them. Just drive them off cold, You'll need to heat them to reinstall them though.

Hey Pete. Next time you need to put tubes in something try this trick. Before you put the tube inside the tire, blow it up a bit and sprinkle a generous amount of baby powder on it. Deflate the tube and install it in the tire and rim. The baby powder acts as a dry lubricant and allows the tube to expand and conform to the tire and rim much easier and helps to prevent tears on your new tube. And as an added bonus, if you ever need to repair the tube, it will have a lovely fragrance to it. Lol!

It’s a true pleasure watching real mechanics. Most mechanic practices now are just parts replacement. Keep up the great videos!

Pete, love the vids with you and your Dad working together. He’s a smart guy...like his son. Documenting some terrific memories together.

Great to see you two working together I love working with my dad on stuff

I remember my dad working on starters. He used a growler and hacksaw blade. He would turn the commutators on a device he had. Also remember him heating and shrinking ring gears. I also remember working on tires the hardway.

You could really go nuts on that truck restoration !!

This reminds me of my grandpa. Me and him used to build starters, alternators , and radiators. It was always fun but he can’t do that now.

I admire how you and your dad work well together. Its very comforting.

When mounting a tire with a tube, it is best to have the valve stem on the opposing side of the rim so you are not putting stress on the tube valve stem against the tire bead.

I found over the years changing Motorcycle tires, that Furniture wax, like Lemon pledge sprayed on the Tube, Tire, and Rim, make the job a little easier.

That IH truck is beautiful... find you a IH 345 to put in that thing and put a flatbed on it, boom, you have a great advertising truck to take to markets.

First thing I noticed Pete was that Mack Bulldog hood ornament. Take good care of it.

The truck looks pretty solid. I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Thanks to you and your father for the lesson on starters.

I learned to drive in a 1951 International pickup. Dad bought it new in 51 and we kept it for many years and used it on the farm. Great truck. We lived on a dirty road in South Georgia and when it rained a lot the roads would rut up pretty bad. The muffler would get dragged of by the mud and Dad grew tired of this so he welded a straight pipe with no muffler and that served the purpose. I enjoy your channel, it brings back a lot of memories.

Very cool truck.

That truck looks to be “nuts”. 🤣 Good stuff and has some personal value. Keep up the great work.

Wow, that table at about 8:20! Beefy!

Good job with the bucket.

That old truck is a beauty.

Learned quite a bit today. Never knew what the inside of a starter looked like.

I enjoy the content, We just bought our first Dexter cows... You inspired us

Nice truck and would be a nice winter project to get it road ready. My suggestion would be to put a stake bed on it and use it to take to the farmers market with farm name and you tube channel for free advertising. That way you can keep the freezers on the truck( run extension cords to coolers)and not have to unload them every time and just unload what you need into the coolers. I like the wide variety of topics you have on your channel and the jokes are dad jokes and are hilarious.

Your dad has a nice welding table.

Another great video! Thanks dad.

Thank you again. The wealth of knowledge shared is truly appreciated.

Like that old truck Pete. And the idea for the rat rod.

It's always a beautiful thing when projects you work on come together just the way you envision.

How old is your dad. He's amazing..,a giant book of knowledge

That truck will be awesome once its running and driving again. I will love to see it.

I really do enjoy the videos and still mine is in progress since 2014 I've owned 70 acre spread was bear and it's great to watch yours with old tractors and implements just wish my Dad were around to enjoy it too.God bless you and your family

I'll tell you what, you are my favorite channel. From the jokes to the tractors. I was in Florida earlier this month and saw a sign for a Farmall museum.Unfortunately we were going to stop at Don Garletts museum. Bummer, but I'll be in Florida next year, I'll go stop there then. Keep up the great content.

Save slivers of bar soap, put them in a plastic coffee can add some water and let them dissolve to a booger like consistency and apply with an old paint brush.

That's a nice old Infernal Harvester truck. A Mercedes Benz diesel would be a nice fit in there, and it would be a mechanical injection if you got one from an early 80's (OM617). It's a 5 cylinder 134 HP engine. It would make a nice truck for a camper.

I'd love to see you work on the truck. And I love how your dad works with you andd you work with your son.

Used to have a '54 International. Drove is for many years. Lots of memories there!

This truck deserves to be as it is. No mods, no diesel. You can just build a flatbed on the back and it can be used on the farm? Like ok maybe it is very old and not that useful anymore.But for the fun of it why not?

Thank you for another great video in a long line of great videos. Please keep these coming, they are fantastic. Be safe, be well, stay healthy!

I have my Dad's old 1948 International K3 1 ton pickup. I just need to do like you and find the time to restore it.

Nice stake bed on the old truck would look really nice. Great to take to Farmer's Market.

Love the older trucks

Nice hearing from you today! Be well & safe.

That truck needs a diesel swap with a flatbed to make it an awesome farm truck/tow rig. Honestly the body swap idea onto a diesel frame is a good idea! My vote would be a dodge, but I’m biased towards Cummins lol.

Awesome!! I'm courios to see you refurbish the front hubs.. It's all about time with me and my folks.. kudos to you!!

6:20 That was fantastic!

When working for Ryder Truck. We were told not to use dish soap on tire beads they would rot them out. We used a tire grease lube called fry lube, they came apart much easier.

Thanks for another great video! I would be OK with some chilly weather about right now, it’s 85° currently here in North Florida

Dads the best! Cool video brother

On bushings, like your starter, I use a thick paste of grease and graphite. Takes just a little bit and the bushings hardly wear at all. Thanks for the video, brings back memories.

I would buy a flatbed for the back and make it a bale truck!

👋 Good morning. Indecisive, not sure? Hahaha hahaha. Maybe you could have a great day. 🤣🙏☝️

You are Fortunate to have your father in your life.

wow your dad is one smart man

You are a bad ass dude I have mad respect for you

Happy Saint Patricks day! I can't believe how smart you and your Father are! Great Vid. :-)

Truck looks so nice please keep it stock, but it’s your truck. Would make nice toy hauler. Sure it would be slow but you appear to be a person who enjoys a slower paced life.

The truck Would be cool for the farmers market as a form of advertising or something similar. try to restore it to running order but leave the patina put a box on it and paint your advertising on it then whenever you drive around you're advertising your business on a cool old truck.

I'm new to your channel, and catching up on all your old videos Pete. Your father is a wealth of knowledge!

Love my dad but I wish he had the knowledge yours did. I’m learning on my own as I go. Thx for the videos!!

Good video y’all you know I think the best knowledge tha is taught is from those that come before us

Great video. Having parents close by is awesome. Especially when they are retired machinists. Those pigs are not scared of you anymore. But they should be! I'm currently looking for another old tractor project. Something with a loader this time. 40-50ish HP. Have a great day.

I mentioned the truck. Thank you for the information, that was very interesting. I was almost sure it has an inline 6. That is a good base for a rat rod, love them, but I love restored trucks too. For sure it isn't an easy desision, either way it will be awesome. And by the way, I was born in 1988, in the year when your father bought the truck.
