In this video we'll take the Farmall C out for a ride to get it warmed up and lubricated. We'll take a walk around the tractor and I'll tell more about it.
I've always liked seeing old equipment as you say, "in it's work clothes". The dents and manure show character. It makes me think of all the work it's done and all of the meals that went on the tables because of it and the farmers. I get told that I overthink things too much, maybe I do but I think most people just can't comprehend what it takes to feed them. Thanks for sharing.
Amen! People don't realize what it takes. And that little tractor, although mostly resting now, did an incredible amount of work during its life, and all the dents and marks do tell many stories.
My favorite tractor when growing up was our Farmall H which I got to use alot cultivating corn and raking hay. Heavier work was done by my older brother on our Farmall Super M. Good old memories from the 60s and 70s
The "letter series" of Farmalls were good old tractors as evidence by how many of them were sold. They were (and still are, for that matter) everywhere.
I like seeing old tractors out working, spent may hours listening to an old Farmall talk. I had heard you mention you have an old H Farmall hope to see it sometime.I have a 1940 H Love using it. Keep up the good work, Love your videos.
Thank you Anthony for your many kind words and that I can continue to make videos you'll enjoy. My Farmall H is a 1943 and has not been run in a couple years. I need to get it out.
You are 100% correct about the hydration and those road sodas do definitely go down easily, especially when it's hot. I put down my share of Gatoraide and water, too.
92 degrees is way too hot for farm work. At least the Farmall C has air conditioning 😂(open air). That C would work great to cultivate my sweet corn and deer food plot corn and sunflowers. Classic tractor.
Man yeah Mr Charlie!!! It is SOO ironic you did this video when you did😊 I really appreciate that!! The wood block still tugs at my heart 😉 Man that thing runs good!! I hope that...I may possibly have the same luck one day soon 😉😉 Loved the ride along my friend and the history behind it!! Look fwd to seeing those oats get harvested soon as well 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🌾🌾🇺🇲🇺🇲
I had you in mind when I was thinking about making this video because I know you enjoy the family history of these tractors and machines. I hope you get your C. Shouldn't be too hard - there were lots of them made and many still out there.
The dented in bottom of the grill is a common theme in tobacco country from pushing tobacco wagons when in a hurry. l have both a Super A and 100 with identical damage, no desire to fix them as it visually shows their history and gives an extra bit of character.
Yeah, it's something how a guy can remember all the bumps and bruises the tractors have. As you say - they represent memories that give the tractor character.
Thanks for the video and the story. I've only ever cultivated once and that was while working for my neighbor as a kid. They usually just had me driving a very worn out ford 9N but this day asked me to cultivate corn with the "big tractor" which was an Allis wd45. It was kinda nerve racking because I'd never even driven that tractor before. I have to admit that I did take out some corn at the ends of a couple of rows because of the tight space there to turn in!
Nice to see you got the C out for a spin. I like the step you have on the rear. I just keep my drawbar slid to the left to make it easier on my super c.
It’s funny you say muscle memory the old John Deere B doesn’t get used much but even with the hand clutch I can operate it like I still use it every day
It's amazing how it all comes back. No matter what tractor on our farm I'm driving, I can do it automatically just from the muscle memory - just comes back without effort.

Absolutely love the story behind that tractor. It was good to see you get it out and drive it around a bit. It sounds really good too.
Thank you. It does run and sound pretty good for as old as it is and as much as it sits.

Those old Farmall Cs did an awful lot of farming back in the day. Thanks for the ride!
They sure did. There certainly were lots of them and so many still exist today.
Charlie, my friend. Thanks for showing me the farm all and taking us for a ride on it. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the ride SBF and that you stopped by.
Just out for a stroll 😊
Yes sir! Stretching it's legs!
Charlie, it's probably a good thing that you can take it out and drive it every so often. Thanks Michael
I try to make it a priority not to forget to get it out and running. I know it's important, because sitting is definitely not good for them.

Love using it. Keep up the good work, Love your videos.

Thank You Charlie, this was very special to see the Farmall C out, ir runs super smooth
Thanks Jan! Goad you stopped by for a ride along.
We had a H and a B on the farm when I was a little boy . Sure wish I had that B still . Great video Charlie .
Glad you enjoyed it. There are so many people who mention that they wish they had a tractor from their past.
Charlie when it this hot you have to stay hydrated. Road sodas are the best. Ice cold and great taste. The Ole tractor sounds great

It would work good for your deer food plot. Maybe there's a "C" on your future, Dave? And yes, the AC was on full blast! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A nice little tractor with a lot of family history. I've often wondered if you still used it.
Don't have any real jobs for it any more, but still get it out running on occasion.

@pagrainfarmer I do for sure love the history my friend, Saturday may be the day 🤔😉🤞🏻😁

The old C sure runs good.
She's a good old tractor. I wish I had more for her to do.

Thanks for the story, Newt. I know from experience that it's really easy to plow out corn with the cultivator. Just part of it.
Nice to see you got the C out for a spin. I like the step you have on the rear. I just keep my drawbar slid to the left to make it easier on my super c.
That was probably my dad to installed the step. My grandfather used this tractor too, and I'm sure as he got older that he needed that step.
Great video, fine old tractor… 👍
They don't make them like that any more, that's for sure.Thank you for your kind words.
The Farmall C and super C are very handy
They were (and still are) great tractors.
Another great video sir the super C at work I use to cultivate trees they are good cultivating and garden work tractors for sure
The C is definitely good for cultivating. I liked that it used almost no fuel doing it.
@@pagrainfarmer this is true now at home we used an WD-45 to cultivate corn spent a lot of time growing up waking up a few rows over with that one 🤣
@@PAplowboy I know exactly what you mean. Cultivating would sort of have a hypnotic effect and I often dozed off.
It’s funny you say muscle memory the old John Deere B doesn’t get used much but even with the hand clutch I can operate it like I still use it every day
