If I have said it before, no apologies for saying it again. Thank you for all your amazing posts. Just a few words with little effort to their writing but heartfelt. Happy Christmas to you and your family. Love from the UK.
This series has been more entertaining than any television show I've seen in the last 5 years. Thank you so much for sharing. I'll never rebuild a tractor, but I have enjoyed learning the history, mechanics, and process watching you restore the Super C.
Looks amazing. Cant wait to see her run around the farm again. Merry Christmas
The next tractor you do could you show yourself cleaning the paint and rust off the sheet metal? I think it would be neat to see the process you do to clean the metal up.
Pete. Glad to see you post today, it's been 6 days or more since your last post. We were starting to worry something may have happened. Glad everything is good with you and your family. 😀
You know, I don't believe that either you or Hil were driving that tractor drunk. That leaves only....Ezra!
This man is an awesome metal worker, he's real good after more than 20, or 30 years,Awesome work Pete, in every phase of the repair work.
I agree more patient than I nice
Painting the underside prevents rust too, from condensation. My father, a diesel and auto mechanic, took the chrome bumpers off his brand new Chevy in 1966 and coated the backs with Rustoleum. 57 years later...no rust, no pitting, just beautiful chrome bumpers. Thank you for these videos Pete. May God bless you and your beautiful family, at Christmas and always
The tractor looks great Pete is something you'll be proud of now.
When Hillary gets on one of her drinking benches hide the keys to the tractor. 😂😂 Just kidding I know she doesn't do that.
Always look forward to your videos Pete you and Hillary are a great couple and have a great farm God bless you all.
The time and work ethic you have is awesome. The tractor is looking great. Can't wait to hear it running again. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Truly a craftsman at work----you can tell by the 'touch'. Beautiful red beastie, Pete! Thanks for bringing us along, again, and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family (critters included)!
I am a visual learner & I am learning a lot from watching you work. I admire your patience and attention to detail.
To be honest, your tractor restoration videos are my favorite. I love your attention to detail, and at the same time, not perfection, to some others. Your restorations are perfect for you and I love them. Thanks, as always Pete.

BTW, The Tractor is looking great, 80% better than what I could do. 😮
When people see your finished job if they haven’t watched your videos they will have no idea the work involved. She’s going to be a show piece. You won’t want to get her dirty . Really enjoy your channel
As a retired mechanic, I find your videos to be very soothing to me, this tractor is simply a work of art. :)
Pete
I truly enjoy all your videos and attention to detail.
Thank you for all the time you invest in each project.
Merry Christmas to you and yours...
Green filler on a red tractor, nice to see you get in the holiday spirit, merry Christmas Pete
Happy holidays all
My mom passed away last week. And watching your videos really helps me alot. I've been watching for a while now. I have been going back and watching again they really help to take me to a different place thank you so much Pete
The Super C is my favorite tractor in your collection. Have you considered making a Calendar with photos of your collection? I would be a buyer for sure.
Are you sure like absolutely sure you haven’t done this tractor restoration stuff in a previous life Pete? I love your knowledge and skills so grateful you share this with the world! The best part is you restore the good stuff!! Love seeing red power living on!
The tractor looks beautiful Pete, You should without a doubt be proud of yourself.
Pete, I wish I could like your videos more than one time!! Your content is great. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and can find time to post some this weekend.
I live vicariously through your posts! Being a farmer is a multifaceted career using many talents and I would love to do the same. I’m not begrudging my career, but I just don’t have the time to actually do what you do, but I enjoy watching anyway. Best wishes to you, Pete.
Sheet metal repair is an art. Great job! Merry Christmas 🎄
It's been kinda obvious from the very beginning! Pete you obviously have a great passion for these older machines and it shows each time you have to make repairs or restorations on your Tractors looks amazing 🤩
I remember a auction where there was a pristine 300 Farmall other than it was faded.
A old timer commented the farmer didn't have any kids. Thank you Pete. Merry Christmas.
Finally, something we disagreed on . I love the clickety- clap sound. I still put the can on top. I totally get the radiator screen to . My first one I work on for days. Looked perfect. But looking from the side . You could see everything that you couldn’t! Everyone has there little things. But I sure love your videos. Your family are so sweet. Your channel is my number one favorite. Thanks
Good morning Pete, I have my coffee ☕, I'm sitting and I'm watching the video on the super C, the tractor looks awesome keep up the good work.

Sir when you tire of the farming life, you know you got a job in antique tractor restoration. I'd be willing to bet a collector would pay top dollar for these restored tractor's (someone collects them someone collects everything) you do a darn fine job. you should be proud of your work looks brand new.
BEAUTIFUL PETE, the old girl looks as good as the day it was delivered to the dealership.
it is a beautiful restoration.
I'm having my coffee I'm in my lazy boy and watching your video very religiously, the super C looks perfect.

OMGHGGOOOSH PETE ! wow ! We're just sitting here watching you and thevmagnificent job you did in stripping off the sheet metal hood.. grill ...and gas tank ! Holy Wah ! I love when you said the hood was buggered up ! ! 🤣🤣🤣 we haven't heard that expression in years ! You do great work ! Great install on the screening inside the grill ! One bone to pick 🦴...WHERES YOUR JOKES ! Hellllooo...they made our day and cracked us uo...especially the way you tell them ! Y'all are good eggs ! Nice to see Grace b4 and her knowing the names of the chickens ! 🐓 🙂 All of your videos are gems and we sincerely enjoy them and learn from them too. We've been views for several yrs now and always look forward to seeing you and Hil and hearing all you have to share with us ! What a blessing you are ...thank you for al your generous efforts to bring quality viewing to us. 👍 God bless y'all Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year ! 🎉 from Michigan !
How good was this video? well before I watched it I went out and made a nice mug of Chicken soup, got few crackers. got a fresh cup of coffee, came back in laid all my goodies out, got comfy in the shack (I'm a Amateur Radio op so spend all my retirement in the "Radio Shack" swivel chair and all. then say back and had the time of my life watching and savoring every moment of this video. you sir! are beyond praise!. I'm pushing 80 so no more rebuilding anything for me. If I can't lift it and put it on the bendh it doesn't get done. so small pro-jects is the name of the game for me. so I live vicariously through oyu Pete. thank you so so much for taking the time to make an old man like me so happy. God Speed. ECF
I really enjoy watching your work. I wish I had the patience to do work like that. Good job
Merry Christmas, to you and your family, Pete 🎅🌲
I enjoyed watching you do the bodywork on the tractor. I don't think people who've never done it don't understand the importance of the human touch when it comes to funding all the high and low spots you have to feel for. Sometimes the eye can deceive but touch never does.
The Super C is starting to look amazing 👏 👏👏👏
"Sometimes I think people over think things" -Pete. I love it, but honestly its true.
Nice job Pete, I wish I had 1/20th of the talent you have. I enjoy your posts and they are never boring. Have a great day!
Pete- you know that feeling when you buy something new (like your truck) and you want to keep it perfect for as long as possible…..and then you get a dent…….well now you don’t have to worry about it with the “c” you already have a dent…..now you can sleep and not worry about it. I think it looks great, you do a very nice job! Thank you for sharing. Nice video
The warning sticker changed my entire life theory on gasoline and burns. I just never put the two together, lots of painful questions have been answered THANK YOU!!!!
Can't explain it, but I enjoy your shop videos. I think that you are a Renaissance man.
So sad the world doesn't have more of the likes of you in it.
Pete you do good work! That baby looks awesome! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
That is a pretty darn good looking tractor 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 beautifully done
Pete, very nice sheet metal work. The grill is amazing.
Well done!
All the prep work is what separates the pros from the quickies. Anyone can slap new lipstick on a pig but a takes a true craftsman to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. I love the tutorials and am just about to pull the trigger on my own restoration. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Great Job With The Sheet Metal And Painting. It Is An Art Unto Itself.........
Wow Pete, the Super C Looks Amazing. Your attention to detail and workmanship really makes your restorations great. I agree with your thoughts about the mufflers, that is what makes restorations fun to look at ... the restorer's vision. Maybe we will see one or two of your restos in Canandaigua next year?
Loved this episode! Your sense of humor is greatly appreciated😊
Looking really good now Pete. Almost showroom ready.
What a great job you do on those restorations, your a man of intricate detail. I guess anything worth doing, well you know the rest. I really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing. Keep warm and stay safe, have a great week!
Probably the best excited, shot and edited series on youtube. ...Dave
Great metal working skills. Don't forget some dents and scratches give it some character, perfect isn't always the best
Your attention to detail is so good to see! Waiting patiently to hear the start up! Looks great!
I'm with you, Pete.
That unfinished metal reminds me of the polished aluminum on an old WW2 airplane. Looks good against the red.
Pete, you never cease to impress me. GREAT JOB.
If you ever get tired of farming Mr. Pete, you can have a promising future repairing and restoring antique tractors. That sheet metal looks absolutely fantastic! I hope you, Miss Hilarie and the kids have a very Merry Christmas!
i guarantee that is more attention than that sheetmetal got when it left the farmall plant you did a fine job
You have the patience of a saint. Great job
I'm John Deere all the way but if that Farmall was mine I wouldn't want to take it out of that garage. That's a beautiful tractor.........very nice job!!!!
Great looking tractor Pete!!! I think the next project is getting that F-150 a nice glossy red coat!!!! Thanks for the great video Pete!!
Good morning Pete. Another great video. A great example of all American persistence and ingenuity in getting difficult tasks done. Before studying architecture I owned a sign making shop. The skills acquired, drawing and fabrication, set me up to study architecture later. Merry Christmas to you and family. May God Bless all of you.
EXTREMELY WELL-DONE!!! Greetz from the Netherlands!!!😀
My dads Super C was the first tractor i drove when i was 5 yrs old, he bought it new in like 1954 i think, nice restoration job 👍 i cleaned & painted my dads with a paintbrush , & put new stickers on it, it actually turned out pretty good, done that like 38 yrs ago ... you could go out there to this day & it will start rite up ... we pulled big chopper wagon loads of silage with that little tractor all the time , it would pull it in 4th gear as long as you were on level ground .. my dad backed in several loads of hay & straw in with one hooked behind the other one several times with that little tractor , good little work horses ...
Just beautiful, your talent and patience is incredible. Once again we are enjoying your videos over a Montana winter. Will wait patiently for the start up . 😂
I like that you do things right. My Grandfather had a Super C and I really liked it. It always started and ran like it should. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. : )
The super C sure is looking pretty. You really do love your tractors. This one sure is a lot simpler than the M.D. was.
You do an awesome job with detail. The old girl is looking as good as if she was new. Blessings🙂
Sheet metal looks great Pete. Takes patience as well as skill to get old tractors to look that good.
That's a lot of love you put on that old tractor. It shows.
Love the sparks flying at the camera. Keep it up Pete! Love the videos!
I love Mate you are really good at what you do and don’t let anyone else you don’t know what you’re doing it’s Great job.
What a beautiful looking machine. Great job on restoring an American classic. Thanks for bringing us along.
Almost there…. Lookin fantastic, you gotta be gettin tired. Definitely will be proud to drive her!!
Merry Christmas Pete, to you and your family. I grew up on farm myself. 29 acres 30 minutes from Niagara Falls.( Canada) We had a farrowing operation.( Pigs) Dad worked at a large Steel mill in Hamilton Ont. Really enjoy all posts and project work. You are doing a great job. People don't know just how self reliant a farmer must be. Watching you proves that beyond a doubt.All the best for 2023!!
That's is turning out sharp Pete!!! Congrats!!
Oh my that tractor looks sweet !!!
What a brand new farmall super c looks like. Wow she is beautiful nice work Pete!
EA watching Pete do this shows he is truly a craftsman,great job
Tractor looks awesome, can't wait to hear it run
I forgot how much I love the Super C. 🚜
Looks incredible Pete, thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to hear her purrrrrr.
Awesome work! Can’t wait to hear it start!
Pete, another nice job paying attention to the details. I know you will be satisfied with the end results. Keep the videos coming, because they are very enlightening and enjoyable.
Looking good, Pete. Like the way you take the time on the sheet metal dings. Look forward to the finish look. Your shop vidios never get old. Merry Christmas to you and Hillary. Stay safe.
I don't feel that you need to apologize for the way you do things, though you have been brought up with manners and I understand that as well. It's looking really nice as you progress. I can be patient with ease,because that just means more videos!! Yahoo. Great job and thanks for sharing.
Pete the hard work you put into this tractor truly looks amazing.
Unbelievable job on restoring this tractor. Amazing sheet metal work. Great videos.
Pete, The care you take in tractor restoration is a testimony to your dedication to preserving this great equipment.
Beautiful little tractor, awesome job, Pete.
Always think if the man on the line assembling this tractor when new or the salesman or the original owner could see your end product, I know he or she would be proud.
I saw that an thought Pete's lost it an going for the Lamborghini look .made me smile
Those mufflers were made from original IH blueprints. You won't be disappointed! And I agree on the rain cap.....they don't belong on anything built before the 60s!
Merry Christmas to you and your family and that tractor looks awesome
I was thinking the same thing when you put on the silver sheet metal parts. It looks "racey", but no, I agree, it just has to be the right color! :-)
Thanks for all you do to show us all your progress, bring us smiles. I wish I still had my 52 Dodge 3/4 ton pickup! Merry Christmas to to you and yours.
That is one beautiful tractor! Your videos are like therapy. Thank you!
.... excellent ..... mighty fine looking already ..... thx for sharing ... as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
You are a very patient man, it shows. What a great job you are doing on that old girl.
I get a kick out of you talking to your self ! because I do the same thing.😊
Painting the inside of the sheet metal reminds me of the Greek concept of arete as applied by the ancient artists who sought to perfectly imitate the human form in their marble statues-even the parts that were not seen by the viewers.
