It has been a few days since Pete has put out a video. I hope Pete and his family are doing ok and all is well. That the videos did not come out because of the usual farm work can get to you. My wife and I met Pete and the Big Red show and had a lovely talk with him. He was extremely nice to us and just a true gentlemen. We hope nothing but the best for you Pete and your family.

Like others I am slightly concerned about Pete and his family who we all appreciate so much. I live over the pond in the UK and I first found this site while looking for videos of Farmall tractors. I hope he and his family are OK.

Gee guys I hope your ok, haven't seen you on in awhile, hope all is well. Blessings ❤

Hi Pete. Hope you and your family are fine. Maybe your fence post guy finally came and you are busy before the snow flies! Chuck in Florida.

I love the sound of the old tractors. It is a sound that can not be duplicated on new tractors. I have been binge watching this channel. I should have been in bed 7 hours ago but can not stop watching. Great job Pete and Pete's wife and thanks for sharing.

Hey Pete just want to say my family and i truly appreciate you and hope you're doing OK, we miss you and we're praying that you and yours are well

It's been days. Are you sick again or just taking a vacation? Hope everyone is ok. Praying you do video's soon.

Where I come from putting a board on a floor jack is making a special tool 😂

Haven’t seen you two for a couple weeks. Freaks me out. I hope and pray everything is okay. I enjoy all that you and Hillary bring to us. I completely understand taking a break from the pressure of a u tube channel or page whatever it is. I appreciate you. Thanks and again I hope you’re okay. I have a bad feeling.

Hey Pete I hope all is well with you and everything is okay since you haven't posted a new video. Keep up the great work and videos sir!

Many hours spent on the old H-bomb and M pulling and unloading silage wagons 12 tons at a time. Best job a teenager could ever ask for.

Having spent a good part of my young life making hay on an H with sickle bar mowers, I sure love to hear the H start and run! I would cut your hay for free, just to relive those great times! One thing though, as a younger person my tractor had an A.M. radio.... now that was living! Thanks for the memories Pete!

I bale 1200 or so small bales each year and for many, many years have used a 42 Farmall H and a nearly identical mower to yours. It all looks so familiar. It's amazing how many of those tractors, produced around the timeframe of Pearl Harbor and WW2, are still running around and earning their keep. I also have a 1940 M. It's good to see I'm not the only one who carefully brushes up a gasket and has to immediately take it back apart. Nothing goes perfect the first time! I'm worried something is wrong if it does!

phew, thank god there are others who agree it’s been a few too many days since Pete has uploaded a new video. hope all is well! I do recall him saying he will start taking things easier/slower so perhaps the man’s just enjoying a good break🙏🏼

Good job. It’s always good when you get done putting everything together and you don’t have any parts left.

PETE, you got her running like a top and purring like a kitten, Great job........😁😁😁

Good Morning Pete! Thanks for taking us along..

Pete, I'm not your usual viewer. But my Dad taught me how to repair all sorts of mechanical stuff and he emphasized that his daughter should know how to repair her car, appliances or at least have the knowledge to do it. Thanks for the memories.

Why do I watch these videos? I've never lived on a farm, I'll never own a tractor but as a retired machinist I still like watching people repair and assemble things. It just kind of keeps it alive in me somehow. And it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who ever forgot to put a part in and had to go back and do it over once in awhile. Keeps us all humble I guess. Love all these videos.

Hey Pete your one of my favorite blogs I hope you’ll be releasing a new video soon. Good day

My Dad passed away 5 years ago today… he was an Oliver guy! I grew up working with him doing exactly the type of work you did today…. Thank you again for sharing your life and reminding me with every video how great life was growing up on the farm!

Pete, thanks for the laugh at the end of the day. I was watching and when you left out the piston I could not help but chuckle. It brought back memories of my farm days when I was the one that always rebuilt the tractors and equipment for the dairy farm. For some reason, it was not considered a success unless you had parts left over! 🤣🤣

Hi Pete and Hillary. I have a friend who lives in New York and saw it was snowing. Wanted to see how the start of winter was doing with you all. I guess you’re on a KZfaq break. You all deserve it. Take care and hope all is well.

Old gas tractors have a unique sound. It''s rythemic and low tones. I enjoyed watching an assembly that actually went together with out a hitch. You have the touch.

Pete, I love you. Thank you. You inspire me. I wish I could show you my project, a water tower. You'd probably approve.

Hi Pete just wondering if everything is OK on the farm miss you posting a video this week God bless hope all is Well Anthony in ALABAMA

Pete! you don't have to Hope I enjoyed this you know I did!!! can't get enough of these old Farmall tractor mods and repairs and restorations. can't wait till you get the new garage/shop built to get the "Big" Rigs " in there for stuff. that's going to be fun!. tnx again for making this old man happy. and God speed. ECF

Everyone deserves a little time off! This is a difficult time of year for farmers. Weather and time changes, less light, more time indoors. I wish Pete and his family the best! We viewers understand and appreciate the worries and financial stress that comes from trying to live the traditional family farm life. We can relate! Your experiment is a noble one and many loyal viewers look forward to your next video! Take care!

Love watching. I miss them so much. Hope they are well. Probably busy getting the turkeys ready. Miss the farm animals, too.😊

Good Morning Pete!

The Farmall H was a favorite of my Dads. Always worked great, I'm thinking it was a 1948 model. He also had a 1938 A John Deere. He always said he wouldn't trade the Farmall H for 3 of the John Deeres.

I am a time served 5 yr apprenticed Mechanic, started my journey in 1977/8 and I have a love for old cars, bikes and tractors, so loving these videos ;-)

I enjoyed this video, and appreciate the increased frequency with which you have been uploading them.

...and beyond all that amazing rebuilding, I often wonder about the folks who actually created and made from scratch, all these systems and parts that work so smoothly when rebuilt by steady hands. What a beautiful Country we have around us. Which includes a huge thanks to Pete and family for reminding us where most of us came from. All the best, and Happy Turkey to all.

I love to watch you work on your own tractors. I learn a lot about it. And saving money by doing it yourself

I have a 43 or 44 H. It still is being used on my farm as well Pete. Them old tractors are a joy to work.

You could have cut out the bit about the forgotten piston, and left out jumping the battery, BUT you didn't, a real day on the farm video from a real guy, THANKS

MARCO! POLO! Yes Pete, I too went looking for you as a week is a fair amount of time but generally you're more prolific. This is 9 days now. 🤔It's been years since I was on a tractor and I miss it. Hope all's well.👍😁

Always had a saying “ we do it right because we do it twice” I feel your pain

I don't think I could get fed up with your vlogs Pete there all good and educational thanks

I finally had time to give my full attention to this video and thoroughly enjoyed it today! Years ago I came to your channel for the animals and will always watch yourself and Hillary doing the regular farm chores of course, but seeing you work on tractors and other equipment has become a favorite for me. While it's informative and historically enlightening, I find it very relaxing in a way because I get so engrossed in the detail of what you're doing that every worry and stress I have running through my deeply sad and depressed mind actually disappears... if even just for these few precious minutes, it means so much for me. Thank you, Pete! Really enjoying your content!

Another super helpful and well taught class from The University of Pete. I love watching while sipping my morning tea while the world keeps spinning wildly around us we can relax and watch someone who knows what the heck they are doing.

"I do grassfed meat, I work on old tractors. I forget things." The reality endears you to US and especially my students! Thanks for giving us the cycles of life and work on the farm. That creates very teachable moments for these precious ones.

Love these old tractors.

I enjoyed the Roster talking to us - fun

Its snowing in Montana and Pete is rebuilding stuff , I’m happy 😄. Looking forward to sitting by the fireplace and watching and learning this winter.

Great video, Pete! I thought I was the only one that forgot parts when reassembling things. Thanks for showing the entire process, including the goof-ups we all make,

I love your videos Pete and the fist tractor I ever bought was a 1966 farmall 656 gas

Flannel patience therapy complete. Thks Pete! 😎 Another repair cmpltd. See you soon

Your true love of old red iron shows through. Carry on sir.

It's always good to be able to repair something and then have it work like it should. Nice sound. Thanks

LOL, "and then I need to tear it all apart..." So many times I have had the same experience.

It's such a satisfying video to see the hydraulic pump assembled and back and working onto the Farmall. That location in the garage should be known as the video rebuild studio on lot #1 with lighting and cameras ready to go. This was a really great video.

See you next time, my friend. Thanks Pete!

Another excellent job well done ! We know you could edit out your little boo boos , but I for one like to see we are imperfect people , so Thank You Pete for all your videos !!! GOD BLESS !!!

Quite the showcase of tractors in the "new" implement barn! Im so happy for you. You should be proud! 😊

I hope Pete puts up a new video soon.

Have to say I enjoyed watching this for a wierd reason. I know absolutely nothing about tractor engines but this morning after seeing the news your new video popped up and I loved the simplicity of it. Listening to you talk your way through the process of refurbishing that part. I found it calming and interesting also. I love your videos, even your occasional jokes. Thank you and have a wonderful fall.

Gee, those lifting springs had seen better days hadn’t they? Great video Pete 🍻

You haven't posted for a while; praying for you and all of your family. God knows what you need and He will provide.

Good repair Pete! Takes patience and some been there done that experience. Now enjoy the satisfaction and know that tractor will be ready for work next year.

I love watching you work on the old farmall’s. I always learn so much that helps me in restoring my 1966 140.

Pete, when u were jacking that rebuilt pump up into position...... it looked like u were wagging ur tail !! Lol

nice job on your plan to keep all of your running gear in top shape by doing the jobs you can in the equipment shed. It won't be long before your working on your plans for your dream workshop 😊

This was interesting , I love the farmalls . You can tell from the castings and the parts that these tractors are high quality machines , unlike the stuff made now days . Good video , thank you Pete .

I love this, very relaxing... from Saudi now and it grounds me to home in Nova Scotia.

Now you fixed the best land mower ever

Another great video Pete! I love the fact that you include your errors, for example, forgetting the pump piston. As you said, “It happens”. Thanks for keeping it real. Very informative.

It seems like there would be an opportunity for someone who wanted to start manufacturing parts for these to original factory specs. There are an awful lot of these that folks have dragged out of the woods and restored, and they are quite beloved. It seems it would be profitable to make parts to keep them running. Nice to see the H restored to Pete's Fleet.

Hi! Mate so glad to see you again great video as always hope you all are doing well and god bless you and your family my friend.

Love the way you talk to your parts.

I live in the suburbs. Why do I watch these videos? I don't know. There is something reassuring about a decent skillful man who knows how to get stuff done without a computer screen in front of him. Thanks for all you do Pete. Inspiring.

Excellent video Pete :) on repairs did Hydraulic pump also enjoyed watching take apart and reassembled back together and nice red fill oil cap to Lol ! Also love all Farmall tractors all neat stuff on them and make smiling to seeing! Wish could seeing more on Farmall tractor in person my late Grandfather Harold my late mom dad father had back years ago only saw pictures of it! But heard was funny part used on Slaughter barn business to raise cow on pulleys systems on belt driven and on farm land to! Saw restoration done fully to in 1993 but in Mesumn now I heard back then ! Hopefully see someday!

Its really cool to see how everything works on the pump

Job well done. Your self-taught learning is impressive.

Good to to see I’m not the only one who has to pull things back apart because I forgot something. Love your videos

Pete, have you asked Ordin or Patti if they borrowed the pliers? Y9u never know. Lol. I enjoy your channel greatly, and look forward to your postings, especially the jokes. God bless.

I grew up on an H. Was my tractor from a 6-9 year old. Seeing you working on the H brought back many fond memories.

Can’t wait for a tractor build this winter

Thanks so very much for all of your videos. They are very educational about the "old" tractor. You really keep them in great shape. Have a great day and week end.

Love the sound of an H starting and running. Great video Pete!

Love how you keep everything ship shape!

Thanks Pete, I love the repair/ rebuild vids.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos about doing repairs.

Nice job Pete! I love it when a repair is successful.

Nice job on the pump repair. I never had a chance to work on my dad's H back in the late 60's early 70's, but that was a special one for sure, my first experience operating a tractor was that one. Enjoyed watching, thanks Pete and I hope you have nice day!

I imagine you will find the other two pair of pliers when you come upon where you last laid them on the roof on a Ledge I have found stuff in a false ceiling one day you will remember when you find them tell them good luck but nice new pair of pliers

The sound of an H brings back my childhood. Thank you again.

Always appreciated, educational, and wholesome!

Congrats on another successful repair, Pete. You're really checking these projects of the list this Fall. It's a good feeling to know the old gal will be ready to work, whenever you need her, isn't it? Not to mention the sense of satisfaction that comes from preserving an exemplar of Americana, from the heydays of the nation's industrial growth period. On to the next project.....

Love watching everyday life out on the farm. Fixing and rebuild equipment is also an important part of farming. Thanks Pete

Your tractors all sound like they're brand new!! Nice work. As always.

Back in the late 1960's my Dad mounted a belly pump on our 1939 F-20. Worked great.

whoa. f-12 had hydraulic lift. it ran off a bearing quill on the side of the main gear box.. the lift actuator was on the top of the bull gear case. the seat mounting had to be changed for this arrangement. i have always been a big fan of f-12 and f-14. thank you for all your videos. i feel i have learned a great deal. your lessons are always carefully researched. very best wishes

Always look forward to a new video! Makes my day every time! Glad you got the pump back together!

Nice easy work pete i enjoy watching your tractor repair videos you make it look easy but you also teach as you go thank you for sharing blessings to you and your family

Great video Pete . Thanks for sharing the H with us .God Bless

Good job Pete, thanks for sharing the good and the mistakes makes it real!

Facts are fun and your gentle way conveys them. Thanks a lot!

Great Job Pete on rebuilding ur H tractor lift-all hyd system. ready for work..
