That was more entertaining than most prime tv shows today.. God please take me back

The beautiful american life ! ❤.

I never paid the slightest attention to tractors when I was younger, i was into cars and 4x4 trucks. But the last few years I have realized that tractors (especially classic and antique) are absolutely fascinating. I love how utilitarian and useful they are, and how they are built to work hard for many years. And there is this whole science to tractors, this baffling array of specialized variants.

Tells dad to go sit in the shade. Dad goes and sits in direct sunlight. No wonder he’s hallucinating.

Thanks for posting. I have a 10-20.

Bill: Describes a Farmall Me: Sold

I didn't know about the F 30 thank you for putting this up

Love the old farm equipment sales films, especially the pre-war ones like this. They really give an interesting look at the perceptions and thought processes of rural America in the early part of the century. After the war, things started to change quickly and by the 50s we were entering the modern era that is more familiar to us now. There was only a small window before WWII where sound movies were practical for more mundane purposes like this, so it's neat to come across them. Incidentally, based on the apparent timeframe of the film and how old the boy appears, he would probably be a little over a hundred years old today (2022)...

The farmers tractor "ole Moses" is a Rock Island made by the Rock Island Plow Co. I believe a model F or FA 18-35 built from 1927-1935. Great post by the way!

Ads like this were shown in hardware stores and feed stores by traveling salesman. Generally, they would advertise they were going to be there to draw a crowd. There was always a crowd there to watch what was the latest in machinery. This according to my grandfather.

Dad had a H and a B Farmall, my Uncle, Dad's brother, had a M, and Grandpa had a C. The C was Grandpa's first tractor, replacing Virginia and Jackson, his team of mules. The film was sorta cheesy, but dredged up good memories.

The champion video for all time!

I'm glad to see this in the original aspect ratio! Well done!

What a wounderfull ad. That goes deep into my ❤️

The one that the're trying to start is a Rock Island, Dad had one when I was a kid. Good tractor.

The main part was Charlie's dream. The ending was Ralph's and EVERY farm boy's dream: a new tractor!

Glad to find this video. I just brought home an old F-12 with a lister attached to the back today. It's a complete tractor that I just bought for yard art... but now I think I might be intersted in restoring it.

We had an F14 ,F12 , three Ms ,oneH ,one AM7 ,two 554s ,one Super WD9 ,one WD9 industrial, one 786 ,two 1086s ,all ran well and were reliable.

Love the video. I have a W-12 and you don't see many of them here on KZfaq. It was great to see some orignal footage of them. Thanks for posting.

pretty good animations for the time.

Thanks for posting. Had no idea McCormick Farmall was producing "talkies" so early!!

That is a neat commercial of farmalls

I got a kick out of those ads and sure theres plenty of fiction as well as fact too but farmalls were the all farm equipment that could be easily affforded

great video thanks for sharing! I love my '53 Farmall

Love this one! I own a T-20 TracTractor, and it’s great to see what she looked like when new!

A Masterpiece, Bravo, clapclapclapclap !!!!!!!!!!

Very nice advertising video love the looks of the antique tractors

Very cool video! I love that f-12!

Real magic geez!! That’s geonomical

I have 2 IH tractors, a 434 and a 634, both were made in Britain in 1960s. IH were always ahead of the game, but I think self- drive still needs a bit of fine adjustment! 😉

Thanks for posting I enjoyed your video. Cheers.

Our grand father bought a brand new McCormick Deering TD 35 crawler if you wanted lights was a hundred dollars more and a electric start was another Franklin 😅 he decided 4,000 dollars was enough in nineteen thirty six thank Gus for making Pa😅

That tractor that wouldn't start cranked WAY too easy lol. i know its a movie, also sitting under a shade tree in the sun lol. Its all good.

@janet0dan 1927-1935 18-36 Rock Island F or FA (slower geared F, the F was a bit on the fast side) , which was a good 3 or 4 plow tractor, and slightly under rated at 18-36. Rock Island Plow Company pretty much had ceased operations by the end of 35. The oh so troublesome carb was a Stromburg, which were pretty common. Even if it is a competitors vid, theres not many period clips with rock islands in them so thank you for posting it!

My great grandfather had a Farmall F12

wow this is a great video love the f12s this is the best farmall promo video iv ever seen thanks for uploading this!!!

have F-14 working on nice to see these units working nice video

They were all heading to the barn... wait until he gets the bill!!

hoakey but cute. thanks for sharing it was fun to watch.

Love my F12’s

My dad told me that in the late 30s or 40s the IH dealer at home had there franchise pulled and given to Chapman Dewey Lumber Company Primarily because they wanted to sell Crawler tractors to Chapman Dewey who was in the process of changing over their lumber operation from Mules to powered tractors they didn't want to lose sales to John deere or Caterpillar..

Great video. Guess should have checked the rear tire mounting tread direction on the F-20 at 11:15

EXCELLENT!

Holy Smoke! What a cool video.

The farmers tractor "ole Moses" is a Rock Island made by the Rock Island Plow Co. I believe a model F or FA 18-35 built from 1927-1935.

@janet0dan That was one of their many Branch houses, they were a major company in the early 1900's and dated back to 1855. They had a number of large branch houses, probably most famous is the one in Dallas, best known now as the infamous school book depository. The great depression and disinterested ownership hit them hard and they mostly ceased operations in 1935 and were sold in 1937 to the J I Case company. The Case Works in Rock Island IL was the old Rock Island Plow Company.

Simplemente un recuerdo maravilloso que nos lleva a nuestra infancia.GRACIAS

I want a truck like that

dad must of ate some kind of mushroom. this is really strange watching the high tech of yesteryear.

@RockIslandHeider Y Thank you much. In Down Town Okla City there is a 4 or 5 story building that was the Rock Island Plow Co. in Oklahoma.

I think I will wait 10 years and get one of those WD45s I saw in a previous video . I dont have to think so much with the wide variety in the International Harvester line up

@farmall51 In the early days of e-bay. I ran across it as I was cleaning out my office. So with u-tub's longer time limit I put it on. My guess is 1937 for they began to under go the changes in 1938?

@krosnicw2 Last week I was in front of the old Rock Island Plow Co. building in Brick Town, Okla, City. It was for sale a long time but now some one has bought it. Cant Waite too see what it will become.

Rio Bravo from McCormick Studio.

@TheTractorguy140 Y thank you, And you have a nice Channel also.

cool

From eBay some 7 or 8 years ago. thanks

Anyone notice the F30 had the rubber on backwards?

Very Nice video! Just wondering where did you come across this video at?

A short video of all the tractors built by the International Harvester co. McCormick Deering, Farmall

wow ... where did this video come from...?

So which one did they get??

For the love of...!

The video is from 1938.

Probably an F-12 or F-20 considering they were low on a budget :)

Frankly, I don't believe that those tractors actually could drive by themselves.

The video response is of our smaller Rock Island 15-25 G. Sorry, no video yet of our F.

I'm making a guess that this was made in late summer 1937. what do ya think?

What might be the Tractor the farmer has? and his car and is the car at 11:03 the same?????

What kind of tractor is Jonah? It looks like another McCormick

8:17 lol.

And Clarkson is driving around his farm in a Lamborghini wow have times have changed.

Do any of the experts know the difference between a Farmall and an International ?

regular 5 f20,s h 450 666 still adding not done yet

so, you are telling us that you had remote control tractors way back in the 30's ?

Damn that poor fool. Show him a two cylinder. Some real power

T=up

Get 25 acres down a day!!! 😂😂 now they do it in one round

I hadn't a clue so many models were offered by McCormick-Deering.

I have f 12 wide front f14 electric starter wide front 2 f 20 none ajstubl wide front 1938

Damnit, why did I have to be born when I was born? I cant get over feeling like I dont belong in this era. It is almost painful to me to watch old videos like this, I feel homesick, like literally sick. Also pains me to see people around here take old tractors like this and park them outside somewhere as yard decorations, to rust away to hulks. Worse are the wagons or equipment. Sure, its very quaint and rustic looking, until the wood rots away and it fall apart and is just scrap. At least spray paint it every few years if you absolutely have to use it as a yard decoration.

the farmall f 30 is beter

I don’t think a farmall f12 could pull a two bottom plow

Tesla tractors?

Sure was corny ....lol
