Years ago I worked for a friend and we had a H,806,856,966,& 2 1466’s awesome tractors especially the 1466’s ❤️❤️ miss them good old days, Thank you for bringing back awesome memories
Thank you Connie&Jerry for saving our history.What amazing collection.
Wow I really love your tractors, man I wish i could be there looking at your IH. Collection I have always owned IH equipment we grew and sold quite a bit of hay and beef, in my younger days,,,, those were the best years, I do miss it so. GOD BLESS you and family thank you for posting!!
Jerry, you’re a very passionate and nice man. You remind me of Jimmy Carter, great smile and human. Thanks for the tour. Sid from Petrolia, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
So nice to see history and being preserved!🇺🇸
Thank you!
Jerry is a National Treasure. I remember how excited I was with Planes, Trains and Tractors when I was a boy. IHC was a class act because they made everything themselves all the way down to bolts and washers. IHC bearings even came in sealed cans to preserve them. Unfortunately I don't own a Red Tractor anymore, we have an old Ford and a new John Deere, but we still have our Scout.
Jerry and Connie seem like really nice people, this world needs more of em'.
I put food on the family table for over 30 years driving and repairing IH tractors. It is awesome to see a collection like this one. It would be great to touch and look at a collection like this while I am still alive. Thank you for all the memories.❤
this video brought tears to my eyes as i remembered my fathers tractors that he ha when i was in high school in the early 1980s. he owned a super m , a 400, a 706 gas, a 1206 turbo diesel, a 966, and a 1468. i personally restored the1953 farmallsuper m, the 966, and the 1468.between the ages of 14 and 19 years old. i sure miss my dad and those awesome red tractors!!
This was the fastest 70 minutes I've spent in a long time. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching :-)
This is the third time watching this video and I love his tractors
Thanks for watching!
That is what my heaven looks like. Wow, thanks for sharing!
This ol boy is awesome. Always smiling and laughing and he certainly knows nothing kills a deere like a Magnum
LOL, funny as , Chevy.... Vclever....
A magnum is an awesome tractor, but they are still crude compared to a Deere.
The amount of money require to amass such a collection must have been staggering. They all look to be in almost mint condition. Congratulations Mr. Kuster on a fantastic collection.
Amazing collection, so much great history here, well done for showing us all.
Wow, what a collection! I was especially interested in the 123 SP combine, I have one of those sitting in my trees, it's been there all my life. I'm 54 now, and I still walk around it in awe like I did when I was a kid.
WOW what a Great Collection, Thanks for sharing
thank you jerry & connie for sharing. great job machinery pete. from sikeston, missouri
Amazing collection
Very humble man
Great to see him share his love of tractors
What an amazing collection. Good to see all the old stuff saved from the scrapyard.
What a great gentleman....wonderful tour-thank you very much for this video!
Jerry, your my hero! You have a beautiful collection of history. Love all the red and so glad you saved them from the scrapyards. God bless
Great folks and such a great collection. The knowledge and history Mr. Kuster shared is just as impressive as his collection.. Thank you for sharing~!
Amazing collection of IH tractors. This outstanding video will leave you seeing RED! Great video, Machinery Pete! And thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Kuster for sharing their collection with us! 🇺🇸👍
What a great guy Jerry is, down to earth and genuine - if i ever get to Galva IL, if possible, I'll look him up.
Wow, what a collection. Only 45 min East of me. Thank for the tour.
It's very nice to make a living history of the man and his wife that made this all possible, the women who really stood behind the scenes and lifted a eye brow or two and let a man bring his dreams come to reality that is history of true love and so others can enjoy the fruits of their labors , what a tour ,I thank you and them for that !
Wow. Simply impressive. Glad I watched this.
THANKS FOR DOING THIS, THESE WERE ONE OF THE BEST TRACTORS MADE .
First tractor I drove was a Farmall H and the first combine was a McCormick 101. Thanks Jerry for bringing back some of my fondest memories of the farm.
I grew up on IH, and I've got to say that seeing this brings back an awful lot of great memories. My dad had a 706 LP, and now he has a 1568 and (my favorite) a B-414. Amazing collection!
My father used a 1206 on our dairy farm four years and have to say was always dependable and was my first tractor to drive at age 11 this video brought back some good memories. Thank you!
Thank you for watching :-)
Thank you sir! My dad managed an IH dealership in the 70's and I worked at a dealership while I was in high school and college, working on many of the tractors in your collection.
Awesome tractor collection! My dad has a 1961 International Harvester Scout with 4x4 that has 21,000 original miles.
God bless you Jerry and Connie love your big red collection love that Crown Victoria very classy God bless you
Beautiful collection Jerry, a credit to your life love of all things red, much appreciated from England UK.
I can't put my finger on it, but I feel like I know Jerry, even though I don't. Thanks for saving history, and some beautiful tractors.
Jerry and Connie are good people...Thanks for watching :-)
This video held my attention the entire time. It was only at the end did I notice it was 74 min long. Time flies when you are watching something interesting. Great video, thanks to Jerry and Connie for sharing
We had a C, M, 656 and 686 growing up and I loved driving them. Drove several 986, 1086, 1066, 1566 for farmers in Italy, Tx. Love the IH tractors.
Wow this was so much more then I was expecting... a Big Thank You..!!!
Connie is one of the few last generation that allowed the guy to have his fun with out leaving him
want to go see this mans collection....big time.....love IH tractors.....this guy is awesome....rock on
What a cool fella. And even cooler wife for letting him have such a timeless collection.
What a great collection! Those classic machines really take me back to my Minnesota roots, though they look nicer than the machines I operated before joining the Air Force in 1982.
What a serious collection sounds like real gentleman great vid
He must have a couple million in tractors, toys, etc. What an awesome collection and wonderful guy!
Thanks for sharing this awesome collection of grandpa's!!
the tractors are cool. but the history and stories this guy can tell really makes it all tie together
Great video and what a great chap. Perfect viewing for my lunch hour (UK time !!)
Great memories of my local IH dealer, Lott & Walne in Dorchester, Dorset (UK)

Good to see Jimmy Carters younger bro doing so well in life!😂😂BEAUTIFUL collection of rare red power too!

Watching this after I just went to Stew Paquette’s place in Leesburg Florida it was amazing as well. Thanks for sharing this.
I live less than a hour away from it. I worked for the Middlesex Corporation who bought out their construction company and Asphalt plant in Leesburg many years ago.
Loved this video. I love the old history. I'm a john deere man nut i love the old collections
Thank you to the Kuster's for sharing their wonderful collection and thank you Machinery Pete for bringing this collection to video so people like me can enjoy.
Ron fuck you Ron
Cool collection, my grandpa ran IH on the farm his whole life. Always had usin' tractors though, not collectin' tractors. He'd get a big kick out of this though. If I ever go to Illinois again I'm stopping to see these things.
Jerry, You have an amazing collection! You got to be proud of what you are holding. And Pete, you did a great job filming it and to be very knowledgeable about so many things. Loved it! Thank you. I own the #4 of the 7288. I love it! Planted 1000's of acres and anhydrous a lot also with it. It is a beautiful tractor. Thanks to you both.
How many hours on the 7288?
Enjoyed your tour very much, wish they still made IH, I still have and use a IH 484 it’s in really good shape got to get started rebuilding a leaky master cylinder.
Fantastic, Amazing,Stupendous. I love it.
What an amazing man and his collection. Amazing history. The man who presented this is also top notch. respectful, curious, by far the best time I have spent on the internet EVER. Machinery Pete my new best friend.
Thanks for watching Mark! And thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wish I lived in the USA I would be in the museum and Jerry's shed all the time !!
This collection makes me drool.......I love it!......nice collection
Wonderful presentation!! I have enjoyed all of your videos for a long time now. Thank you for sharing. Eric from North Central, NH
Thanks for watching Eric :-)
Love the collection. My grandpa ran a lot of International. From the KB3 and KB5 to the Scout to the Loadstar with trucks. He bought a new setup in 1980 which was the Loadstar, 6588 and 1482. Later on we got a 1680 and a green Steiger. We also had a 724 with an Allied front-end loader and a 1070 Case. We had an International plough, but ran MF 360 discers for seeding. Now, there's not much left but I did keep the KB3 and plan to restore it. Hopefully I can get as good as the machines shown here!
One of the greatest things about this video is feeling that Jerry is in it for his passion for IHC , and not just for the bucks:-)
I think I'm going to have to fly to Illinois from Ireland to see this amazing collection!
bluegtturbo we'd love to have you! The most beautiful place in Illinois is known as the Driftless Area where the Palisades State Park is, which is right around the area of Galva if not a little due north. Be sure to visit Chicago if you do. (:
That’ll be a good deal
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account?

Wow what a great Collection of Old Red tractors, but I did see one revolutionary tractor missing from his collection actually ! That tractor is the 1974 IH 666 Hydro, my first tractor I’ve ever drove ! ! !
His old mechanic buddy that he spoke of... Bill Grabbe. He was into wheel horse garden tractors also. I Bought part of his collection. Great video Im from the Galva area.
I'm watching this in 2022 and it's astounding to me to see such a collection
‘22 for me too! Grew up driving a 1086 myself.
One great collection ,,,,, just wonderful ,,, stew paquette
Stew...I need to come visit you and see your collection soon :-)
I have a '53 IH Refridgerator, Oct-'53 still works good in my house
63 year old IH fridge still working....COOL....literally :-)
I worked for a neighbor on his multiple farms growing up, and he had a 966 that was my favorite. Nothing like cutting an 80 acre field of alfalfa in the early summer. Still remember the smell of that sweet, freshly cut alfalfa and the sound of that diesel engine purring. Best memories of my childhood.
Beautiful just simply beautiful
Very cool stories along with amazing tractors
a good old fashioned hardworking honest trustworthy man…i could listen to him all day
I never grew up on a farm, had a great aunt and uncle they had a small little hobbie farm I’d say. As far as I know they didn’t have any kind of big equipment. But for some reason I love these old tractors. Sorta simple machines, yet they helped build this country.
What a great gentleman!!!!!!!
They seem like they must be the nicest people on earth. Love his laugh, awesome that you documented there collection.

What a nice man, feel kind of bad I bet people just always talk about his tractors hope people talk to him as himself too. I know from having cool things that sometimes to be the focal point for people and they forget about you as a person and your needs as a friend
My great grandfather helped build and drive very first tractor off rock island moline works and great uncle helped build and drove last tractor off the line and we have the flag that flew at plant. My grandpa was a engineer and tractor tester from 1950 til 1985 when they closed
Maybe your blood is red.
Boy do I remember when I was 15 years old and I would visit my grandpa‘s Farm and the days that we had to cut hay he had an MD he would drive MD and I drove a 556 and it those tractors ran like a cheetah now that I am 80 years old and I realize that now I have John Deers and I have formals and I have Kabota‘s
Seeing the 3588 like that makes me want to get busy. There's not many here in Australia but I own one she's not in good shape due to blowing that internal HYD pump in her backend. She's just been sitting for 5 years rusting away... suprisingly it's only rust where the Balck paint went around the cab. The 5488 looks sweet, we got a 5288 sitting under a tree been there for a decade at least. cheers for the video mate. Cheers Jerry.
Great video loved every minute of it!!
Thanks for watching Dustin!
I will have to try to get down there. My grandfather went to work at the Farmall plant in Rock Island when it opened. My father started working there in 1928. I grew up in Mercer County Illinois and most of the people I went to school with had fathers who either worked for Farmall or farmed with IH equipment. Growing up we also had a freezer just like the ome at the museum.
Wow that is a nice looking 4366. That right there is my dream tractor. Gotta look IH tractors.
Machinery pete, my cousin in Mississippi had a john deere veelee car. He sold it few years back but it was very cool. To give u some info about him, he has two JD 4430, farmall 766, 2 JD model Bs, an oliver 77, and an old case tricycle tractor. In his car collection he has a ford model T, Model A sport, and Model A coupe. He use to farm but know runs cattle. Once a year a good bit of my family goes and we do our "fall harvest". At fall harvest we make cane syrup from sugar cane he grows and grind it in a cane mill. He has just converted a cane mill to run from a steam engine. And we also make corn meal in his gris meal run by the JD B. Love your channel. Thanks William
Wow, very cool! Thanks for your note William. Send me a pic sometime of your cousin's JD tractors
