The cows mooing, the stupid dad jokes, the patience that you have, the calmness of vlogs ... all of these are so appreciated. One of my sons would sit and watch Mr Roger's Neighborhood on PBS with total amazement. Now I know why. I find myself watching your vlogs with the same awe. Thank you for this.

I spent many, many hours on our Farmall Super C, growing up on our dairy farm in SW Pennsylvania in the 60s. We had a Super C (1953 or thereabouts) and an H (from 1940). When you converted yours from wide front to tricycle front, it became a twin to ours. That tractor was one of my best friends from my childhood. Watching this restoration has been absolutely fascinating. I now know far more about the Super C than I did while I was driving it. Of course, with only the two tractors, we couldn't afford have one out of service long enough for an overhaul like this, but seeing the results of this rejuvenation have brought tears of joy to my eyes.

Perfect. You have a brand-new tractor!!! You bring the same precision to your tractor restorations as I suspect you did to your architectural drawings, renderings, and management. Both represent a work of art, the restoration, and the drawings. The Super 'C' looks better than it did on the showroom floor. Probably runs better also. What a beautiful work of Art. You are indeed a Master in all you do. It shows in your restorations and it shows in the detailed planning that you do in running your business. My Vo Ag Instructor in High School would have had us on field excursions to your farm. He also would have done just about anything to get you to come into the classrooms when we were planning our projects and mentor and instruct us. Of course, we didn't have computers in those days (the 1950s,) but we did have accounting paper and graph paper which I liked because it helped me stay organized. Mr. White also used to admonish us to marry a bookkeeper and get out of her way and let her tell us what we could afford to do. Lastly, he preached succession planning and signed and notarized documents. Good advice for any business venture.

As the friendly neighborhood city- slickr here I am loving this tractor. I had one like it when I was 4 years old but mine was kid size and all cast iron and my PTO was two foot operated pedals. I have a picture of me sitting on it in our driveway. When my family eventually moved we moved to a house that was on a hill. And when I outgrew the ability to sit in the seat I turn the tractor around, sat on the hood and went down the hill that way with rear wheel steering which needless to say was kind of weird. So I got many years of use out of it. Seeing this one completed I just marvel at the beauty of these things.
