Pete I'm pushing 80 and will never pull another engine of that size or anything that big mechanical. so I am loving every second of this super c rebuild no matter how far you take it. What you've done so far is exciting, everytime you put a wrench or socket to a bolt head I grunt with you, and am waiting for you to slip and skin a knuckle! not wishful thinking quite the opposite. But you've done great even in that dept. at least nothing you've shown us on video anyway. Can't wait for the next video I've been pacing around few days now waiting for this one thanks ever so much for taking the time and effort to video this endeavor. I know it takes a lot of work video wise editing etc. I for one really appreciate it. Thanks again for doing it and for sharing ECF.

I like to wonder, Pete, how many of your former colleagues in architecture /engineering watch your videos and wish they, too, had the guts to leave the business world. All of your schooling and experience in the workplace has afforded you the opportunity to acquire "just a few acres" to do what you love most: farming. Your wholesome content is refreshing and I'm glad you're getting the attention you deserve. Well done, sir. Sidebar: It would be fun to have you invite former bosses and/or co-workers on the farm to help with menial chores. Think Dirty Jobs. That would be fun content to watch!

I don't blame you for wanting to get to work on the Super C as much as possible. I find myself doing the same thing sometimes with my old 1978 Ford truck. I'm glad you're taking us the viewers along.

Hi Pete, I'm really jealous of your encyclopedic memory of how those beasts go together, and how you take them apart with very little blood loss or broken fingers. If I was doing this project audio would not be allowable. Great job, keep it up, it's always fun to watch your episodes.

This is amazing! Your commitment and knowledge creates history and I am so happy to be a part of it! You are knowledgeable and patient. I hope you realize how much your viewers enjoy this and I realize how much work is involved. I hope you son helps out. Knowledge is power . Thank you Pete!

I am so happy to see you restoring another tractor. The Fall and Winter Sunday videos will be exciting to watch. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along Pete.

Love your videos, found you originally because of your tractor rebuild stuff. Then I discovered I like your point of view and all the activities, even the market. Don’t stop doing the tractor rebuild and maintenance videos

I have a brain tumor, I can't handle the level of memory and function it takes to do projects this size anymore. It really hurts me and causes a deep depression at times. Thank you Pete for filming this, I love following along on your projects.

"Sometimes you just have to keep trying things until you find something that works." Good life lesson for all.

You're a legend Pete! There's not much farmers that can do what you've been doing. Amazing 👏

I WISH I had the skill and knowledge to do what you're doing. Nothing but true admiration for any mechanic who can do these things. I love everything you post on this channel, and I along with so many others thank you for sharing this. Greetings from Cleveland.

Good morning, Pete. So happy to see your daily driver getting restored

I kinda like the crusty rusty old tractors, but the C deserves a little love and a nice shiny coat of the prettiest red paint on earth. It’s going to look good next to the rest of the shiny red tractors.

Great video Pete. I like taking things apart. Trouble is I never remember how to put them back together.

With all the crap going on in the world it is comforting especially with the mechanical aspect of your farm life.

I remember as a kid Dad and I working on farm equipment when he encountered a stubborn bolt he would smile at me and say " We need to have a beer and think this over".... I was 15 at the time... lol... Times change...God Bless

I like the longer videos. You keep it interesting.

Great video Pete, interesting how many parts there are. Surprising are the men who thought of this and made it run.

The time of working on your project doesn't seem long at all when you're having fun!

I cleaned out the clutch housing on my 140 back in the spring and it was full of acorns. I once took the bottom cover off and a whole family of mice fell out. I'm convinced they will one day find the Holy Grail in the clutch housing of a Farmall.

Pete: "how far am I going to get into it?" 24 minutes and seconds later it looks like a bomb went off in that tractor! But we all knew it would come to this..... btw, this is so entertaining it's my second viewing!

Thanks for letting us come along, Pete. 👍👍👍✌️

Hey Pete. I really enjoy the tractor rebuild, I do miss the call of the "Come of Cows " you must put that on a shirt. Dave B

My grand dad had a Super C and a Super M. They were both stock except the M had a very tall high gear that was rumoured to have been installed by loggers before my grandad got it. They gardened about ten thousand square feet and farmed another 500 acres. The C did the garden work but it was stout enough to pull a 8' disc harrow with no problem. I also spent enough time ploughing behind mules that I know what "mule freckles" are. The C had enough power to power my granddad's sawmill if we were cutting pine but we used the M when we cut oak or hickory. I retired to Thailand, they have to take their tractors into rice paddies. Instead of adding more tires for flotation, they build a paddlewheel device that fits outside the tires. Regards!

That's going to be a sweet machine when you're done can't wait to see it going around the farm I hope all is well Pete on the farm and the family take care can't wait for the next video God bless

Pete . You'll never see me complain about long videos from you !!!! Keep em coming!!! 😂

It's fantastic that when they built these tractors, they built them to be taken down to bare bones and rebuilt from the ground up. You can keep these for years to come

I'm anxious to see the C restored. I grew up running a 53 narrow front super C. I loved that tractor. Keep it up Pete👍

I love your videos ,I can’t wait to see this tractor complete and painted

My goodness Pete, all of a sudden you are knee deep in another one :) Your last couple of words in this video were correct “ there is a lot of work to be done”. Good luck to you.

Great video Pete. I like the fact you’re going step-by-step. I actually forgot how simple these things are working on my own cars. Thanks for the video.

my therapy is watching you Pete, wont say how well its working cause self judgement is so difficult thanks for all the video sessions...i owe ya!

Love to see videos of you resorting yor classic tractor's

I really appreciate your expertise working on those old tractors. I don't have a farm but i grew up on one, it brings back memories, fond ones of my childhood. Thanks Pete.

Brings back memories Pete when we're on the farm in our young days doing up tractors, look forward too the big paint job and rebuild, cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 👍

Pete it's amazing how small a tractor breaks down into. Great video

Love watching you work. While I'm not inexperienced in doing this type of work, I always pick up tips watching you. Your logical organized approach is instructive and your if this doesn't work, plan b....then plan c shows what the real world of repair work is like. I was dishearten when you swore off restorations after the MD and am grateful it was only the understandable reaction to the end of a painful project and not a long term decision.

Good morning, it's so wonderful that you are restoring another tractor from your fleet. I know it will work and look great 👍. OK another college shirt. Have a wonderful week 😊

Hi Pete,, The simplicity of those Farmalls made them so grate, and made them last for a 100 years at least. As one who still operates an M and a BMD older than me, (though with a Parkins Diesel motor both) I am thankful to have them around when needed. Both are All Round small job on the farm, easy to maintain. Cheap on fuel and spare parts... Love them.

Hi Pete, so you know. Your videos are never too long, if anything they could be longer! Cheers from Oz mate.

Great video on the Farmall rebuild. The old tractor gives in to the consistent wrenching and comes apart, as patience and detail are getting it done.

I could watch this all day i love your channel I haven't seen the other rebuild but I'll look for them I'm almost 70 and due to health I can't do much anymore so this helps keep me going thank you.

I'm about to restore my dad's super C for a second time in my life so I'm really paying attention to this series

Lovin' these series you do.

Good morning Pete

Took me all day to finish watching this, but I managed. A hard day of chores and yard work with a couple of KZfaq breaks. Excellent video Pete.

Very interesting tear down of the Super C. With hydraulic hoses it reminds me of the Belarus 500 series tractors. The factory tractors have 2 hydraulic hard lines running from the floor boards to the hydraulic cylinder in the rear. But because of heavy vibration and other issues they tended to start leaking and weeping oil. So people replaced them with rubber lines instead. Draw back is in my opinion the rubber lines get into the way of your feet a lot and you can actually slip on them, while entering or exiting the cabin.

You have it a part now. You might as well go all the way. Don't regret something in the future.

You definitely have it down to almost bare bones. Looking forward to the next video.

To add a simplified version of what Mr. E. Foley said, wow, just wow..

Glad to see that the transmission is in good shape - but yeah, replacing as many seals as you can is the right thing to do. You aren't gonna want to go back in there to replace them in the future!

Gotta love old tractors... They were built to last . My uncle still has his Alis Chalmers he bought new in the 50's. He's rebuilt it a couple times , but given how much he's used it the last 70 yrs thats a fair trade... Farmall's changed America . The avg farmer went from horses to mechanized farming & immediately decreased his time in the fields.. It also increased the number of acres he farmed... I read a book years ago that detailed the influence steam tractors had on farming.. People in those days thought they were living in an amazing age of industry.. And they were.. I think many underestimate the influence steam had on farming.. They could run a 4 or 6 bottom plow with water & fuel.. They could harvest millions of acres of corn & wheat.. What the combustion engines did was turn a small farm limited by hours in a day into a farmer that could expand farmed land extensively..

Chrome socket on an impact!! lol. Everyone does it.

I love watching a good tractor restore / build video. Don't want to do it myself but I like watching you do it.

I can see why you enjoy working on them old tractors so much.

This is addictive TV. Thanks for sharing, Steve.

I bet you will tear down the transmission to assess the bearings... you've gone this far... now is the best time to check everything.

Hi Pete...Thank you for another outstanding video...enjoy your weekend....

Wow Pete you got a lot done in 25 minutes

🐼 Big Panda Bear Hugs from a 69 yr old grandma in Texas, USA. 🐼 ❤ 🎀 👍 🧚‍♂ 🐈 🧚 🍀 💐 🌸

Pete watching you work on these old tractors and how you speak to us is very relaxing and funny at times. I have really enjoyed every moment of your tractor rebuild series and love how you work on the. I also love your channel too, keep up the great work. 10/10.... Two thumbs up as well.

Morning Pete! Been awhile for me. Nice to see your still here 😀

I really enjoy your tractor videos Pete, always informative and just the right amount of sarcasm 👍 thanks for putting in the time and effort to include us in the process.

Love the 'chrome socket on an impact wrench'. lol

This one was over due for a paint job. Its interesting watching you do all the mechanical stuff. I hate doing it myself.

Great job on the disassembly Pete, interesting on how far you will go with this rebuild. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏻

Anouther great tractor build, unbuild ? Video. Can’t wait for the next one. I don’t think any of your videos would be to long, for me they go by to quickly. Thanks you for what you do Pete.

Pete, Your Dad is father of the century.

Awesome video Pete!! Always look forward to your uploads! Keep ‘em comin!!!

Pete, I am super glad you are doing another one of theses. I was in India for 2 weeks and missed about a month of your videos due to corporate planning trip prep ect. I finally got a chance to catch up on all your videos on my last business trip to Boston and was super stoked to find out that you were doing another rebuild. I was looking at all the cool tractors while I was in India. mainly because they are all over the roads when your are out in rural areas. The folks were giving me crap for all the tractors I was pointing out but hey I had a blast.

Thanks for doing this, I have always wanted to see how one of these tractors was built. I have seen other videos but they don’t show any real details like you have. So much of it I had no idea unless you explained it. I can’t wait for the rest of the videos. Thanks again.

Love the tractor break down!!! Very educational!!

He's gonna do it again...,A brand new second hand beautiful piece of Americana.

I am convinced, you will take every bolt out before you quit tearing it down 😁

Great production Pete! I will eventually be tearing into my late grandfather’s ‘52 Super C in an attempt to address some concerning noises and a few leaks. Your video will likely be a greatly utilized reference for me. I’m currently just trying to keep the lube levels in check as this tractor is my 88 year old father’s favorite and he still enjoys doing odd jobs around the farm with it. I have a couple of projects in line ahead of it, dad’s ‘41 John Deere B and my Ford 5000 Super Major. No Rest for the Restless! Bless’ns to you kind sir, Tedd

Hi Pete, your take apart videos are never to long, in fact I hate to see them end. You delve into a world that I would never go by myself, for this I thank you so much. These old tractors are a complicated piece of machinery. Very interesting 🧐 and all mechanical no computer chip here, haha 😂. I guess this is what makes them so fascinating. Thanks 🙏 again, and I look forward to the rebuild and replace videos that I know are coming in the future. Take care my friend and the best of luck.

good details with the camera. good explanation. a video for eternity. ... and of course a good man on the tractor. understandably translated!?

I for one enjoy these videos Pete I wonder how many other enjoy them?

These videos make my day. All of your videos make my day, thank you so much for taking the time to share your life with us.

You do good work restoring old tractors. Thank you.

She's gonna look beautiful once you get done with her.

Holy smokes Pete, if the supply chain holds up you may have this finished up before the snow flies. I can watch the whole thing and not be standing in the snow. ..... Sorry no pressure 😁😁 I just see how this project already is more straightforward than the MD.

Lol the heat wrench always works I call it the Blue Wrench lol thanks for the video

Thanks for the great video, Pete! I love learning how these old tractors work!

Awesome pete

Man I love watching these restoration videos. Thanks Pete!

The Super C is my favorite tractor in your fleet.

With all the parts laying around loose like that it looks like a IH yard sale!😏

Very interesting Pete love your videos take care .😀

Just push rewind and the tractor is back together, just like that! Lol

.... laughing .... never looked at the time till you said it was a little long, shortest 25:43 ever, good solid content makes time fly .... thx for the share Pete .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

Hey Pete, don't apologize for a longer video, I find them very interesting. I enjoy how you take the time to explain things. Also if it's liquid it can't stay stuck.HAHAHAHAHAHA.

By now it shouldn't surprise when you mention your father's help on a project but every time it comes up it warms my heart. I love that it's an opportunity for him to assist with his practical knowledge and I'm sure his contributions hold much more than just their utilitarian value.

Looking great buddy I think you will be fine not taking the transmission apart but it’s your choice can’t wait to see what you do thanks for sharing

A machinist background sure is handy, more so if it is dad. My farmer dad was a carpenter.

Pete wow that’s a lot of work my hat off to you sir

Certainly enjoyed watching,,,,didn't havta get my hands greasy,,,,enjoy that too,,,stay safe,,🇺🇸😍

As always. Great video

I love that you wore those shorts with that shirt! 🤣🤣🤣

Pete, I grew up on a 35 cow dairy. Until 1969 we farmed with only one tractor, a JD3010 gas row crop utility. It was then my dad bought a 1952 Super C farmall. The JD dealer had overhauled it with MW power pack pistons. It was a real animal. I spent hundreds of hours on that tractor running a New idea hay conditioner and also raking hay. Seeing your Super C has brought back many fine memories. Keep the great videos coming.
