I have an 1939 Oliver HG68 that was given to me from a farmer that I had worked for for many yrs as a kid , and work for him many yrs when I got out of the military and had started a family , the farmer didn't have any boys so you might say he had taking me in as his own...! Great people but anyway i've been restoring this crawler and have been enjoying every minute of it and thinking of the times we used this ole girl on the farm...! She brings back alot of memories , i'm 61 and soon going on 62...!!! Have a blessed day my friend...!
I got the biggest smile on my face when that engine kicked over! As a kid in the 60s and 70s I had to start the Family Tractor on cold winter mornings to plow our 600 foot driveway. There was nothing finer than hearing that old engine kick in! 😀
Happy New Year! Nice to see that old relic running so well. It sounds like she's running great, and still does a great job. That takes snow clearing from being a chore to being fun. Awesome!
You're right, it makes clearing snow an absolute blast! haha She runs great! could use an overhaul on the hydraulic fittings and lines for the blade, a new battery, and certainly a paint job, but these old things were made to run no matter what
I have a great story about this video. I made a good lady friend weep with joy by just sending this one along. A long story worthy of being told in another time and place.
That was a great video Kyle. What a proud moment for your grandpa when you showed him the video . I used to drive an old John years about 50 years ago. It was a brut just one huge cylinder and hand clutch that nearly tore your arm off. Great memories
may have been faster with a snow blower lol seriously to see something 70yrs old still working & to know how it was done back then is priceless. thx for sharing! great vid
Awesome vid. I was in Newfoundland in 99. The people there are literally the nicest, friendliest, most genuine folk I have ever met. Hope to go back with my wife and kids someday. Maybe retire there. Thanks again for the vid. I'm gealous!!!
@@kyle_noseworthy I'm trying!! Between the crazy price of flights or the crazy price of the ferry it's something we want to do but we don't want to have to sell a kidney to do it. LOL! I'm sure we will get there soon but it sure is more expensive travelling with 4 (I went with buddy's the first time). Thanks for the reply. Cheers Kevin
Loved that old dozer and I was happy to see you put it in the shelter. That is one tractor worth preserving forever. I was surprised to hear how good the engine sounded.
Nice iron, good to see it still working. I’m a vintage iron enthusiast myself and had a 52 MC among others. Best part is the family ties to your machine. Old iron and the operators that broke it in are something to be appreciated.
I had a 440 IC Dozer with a reverser also. Changed it over to 12 volt and used a one wire gm altenator. Those gas 2 cylinders were pretty strong and sound so good.
Putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt-putt...that sound is music to my ears. Great little tractor. It looks like it enjoys that job!
I love machines like this that can produce plenty of horsepower at low RPM's. It's much more quiet and comfortable than a modern machine that has to be screaming in order to make enough hydraulic pressure for all it's actuators. And that simple pin arrangement for changing the angle of your blade is just beautiful.
I use a 1943 Ford 2N to plow my driveway here in CNY. She can be a pain to start but a joy to use. The no cab seating is no fun when the wind is blowing tho. Your ole gal sounds great.
@@kyle_noseworthy Mine sports a generator that the magic smoke escaped from early last winter. I keep it on a charger/maintainer when I think it's gonna be needed. Hopefully 2019 will be a better year for repairs. LOL
That is a John Deere 1010 dozer .. I grew up driving my grandfather's . used it for about everything. Little power house no doubt . Brings back alot of memories. Thanks for sharing 👍
Lite duty jumper cables are worthless, I've seen them melt when trying to jump start a motorcycle! Learnt my lesson, bit the bullet and bought a set of extra heavy duty ones, plus a good jumper pack and a tow strap, that setup has helped me out of a few situations I can tell you.
Wow, what a great treat to see the old tractor running. Sounds great. Interesting blade turning system. What a great way to remember your grandfather. Would love to see a restoration! Happy New Year,
She is a fine piece of machinery. Pop is still alive, but unable to climb onto the tractor anymore. I'm sure it'll get restored one day, but it runs like a charm regardless
That machine cleared the snow better then anything else I seen on here.. goes to show you that if you take care of something.. no matter how old it is.. it’ll take care of you in the long run👍🏻
Neato plow Kyle you & your grandpa sure had some cold & lots of snow days ta work with!!!!!!!! Of course ya know some tractors & bull dozers now are closed in with roofs, doors, heat, air & stereos that'd been nice back in your grandpa's days! & even now!!!!!!!! My Brother & i used ta shovel snow in our driveway in the country Freiburg Mi where we were raised the driveway was about almost a hundred yards long!!!!!!! Awesome video Kyle thank you, and happy Christmas & New Years ta you & yours too!!!!!!!!
Kyle, I operated one of these old John Deere's once and while you were plowing , I found myself wishing I could 'bump up' that throttle just a few more R.P.M. Nice video,.....thanks for showing it here. And yes, I live here too.
Man does that bring back memories for me. I was raised on a dairy farm here in the thumb of Michigan. Well in the winter ya had to keep the road open for the milk man. We had a international harvester crawler tractor we used. That was almost 60 yes ago. Thank you an stay warm.
Hi just wanted to let you know I enjoyed the video I love old equipment but it was so nice to hear your story about your Grandfather tip for staying warm at the end you seem like a real gentleman keep keeping it alive my friend 👍
And now I’m homesick. I spent countless hours on a JD350 plowing snow on the farm in northern Wisconsin. Great memories. Makes me really appreciate the 6-way blade that one had, though.
Its friday night and I am watching a bulldozer push snow, now thats a cool night. I was wondering about your accent as you were talking, it sounded familiar then you said NewFoundland...ahhaaa! I am from northern Maine and that accent is how I used to talk before I moved to New Yark 40 years back. Its 'aboot' doing a job! Well done.
We had a John Deere M 3 roller crawler. Never heard anyone call them a tractor before. When you started it, it sounded so familiar. 2 cylinder engines have a unique sound.
Very nice. It is obvious, your Grandfather took care of that John Deere. It's also refreshing to see that you respect him. If he is still alive, you should get him to tell you as many things as he can, so that you can pass the stories down to your kids. It's also good to start plowing on an open piece of equipment. This way, someday, you'll appreciate a truck or loader that is enclosed.
That’s the wonderful thing about an old Deere tractor when you think it’s on it’s last leg it keeps on going as you got bailing wire and a pair pliers and a hammer and a screwdriver they’ll give even more service for a long time....
Love the video and your grandfather's Tractor. Nothing better than memories and still making them. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Happy New Year. GODS BEST. Pastor Amos and Family
I agree Pastor! My grandfather is actually a retired Pentecostal pastor! He loved running this tractor. Although he's still around, his body won't allow him to climb up onto it anymore, sadly. Happy new year to you and yours, my friend.
I just love that tracked Deere. Thanks for sharing. Love your grandpa's machine to death, because it made a lot of memories and now you are making your memories with it. He would be so proud of this video. We used to plow the dam in Northern Alberta with the model R just so that we could have a hockey rink all winter. We got so much time on that rink. I am more impressed with the tracked machine for pushing snow. Just no problems at all. Great video!
A BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF A 2 CYLINDER JD!!!! I had a 1959 430JD tractor. 1200 ORIGINAL HOURS. I miss that "2 cylinder sound" but not the 6 volt system or lack of brakes. It has a new owner who is restoring it.
Love the old John Deere Dozer's. I have to a 1010 with a diesel and a 2010 with a diesel. I am in the process of restoring the 2010. Not many left now days.
Great vid , i have a 1956 jd crawler , luv that machine , mine has a hyd bucket loader on the front. Its amazing how much torque those 2 cylinder jonny popper engines have !
That's way too nice of a tractor to leave out in the weather. Besides, it not just a tractor, it belong to your grandfather and it's a family heirloom. Take care of it !!!
Your right. Keep that thing in a barn and start a working restoration on it. Do just a little work on it at a time that way you can use it at the same time.
I love your old tractor really nice piece of kit! I'd be on that all day if I owned it My ex used to get mad at me when it snowed... LoL... I was like a giddy little kid rubbing my hands together so I could go out and play with my old Belarus 250.. haha. good times I'd spend the day out plowing every flake of snow I could find... nothing like having fun and accomplishing something while you're at it!
I have a slightly older 420. You should have a choke for that and the air cleaner hooked up. Mine swallowed a nut right through the carb before I had the air cleaner hooked up. I got lucky and nothing was damaged, but it's not worth the risk.
lol just idling. love it. grandfather probably not loving how you leave that gem in the elements. Get a 200 dollar unit from amazon and cover that bad boy.
Oh man !! Imissed so much running our old john deer !!! we made wood side guards on each side of the blade to form a kind of box, so you can get more snonw without lossing some, we also often just install one side so you get on side boxed and they other side open to let the snow escape.
Happy New Year Kyle, to you and your family :) That was an amazing video, one of our new favorites! Very well done. It is so great to see that your family is close and able to pass down stories, knowledge and memories through the generations. It is becoming more and more rare these days. We were recently operating some newer tractors for snow removal and this was incredible to see an old machine going strong. We enjoyed hearing the story of how your grandfather used to keep warm and seeing how you manually angle the blade. Stay warm and we wish you all the best for 2018.
Thanks so much guys. I'm glad you liked seeing the footage. My Dad is the one who showed me the blade angling system, and I thought it was so brilliantly. Stupidly simple, but that's the beauty of it! Happy New Year to the both of you!

You're very fortunate to have found him then, it sounds like. Enjoy your tractor! I would love to restore this one some day
That ole Deere is beyond cool. 60yrs old and still plugging away at it. Just love hearing/seeing it. Your grandfather had great taste in equipment. 👍👍
Sweet! Best sound ever.

The coolest thing I have seen in years. Most peaceful and relaxing thing.
This was great! Nice to see the vintage equipment still working. Special to have your Grandfather's tractor!
great vid...my father would have enjoyed that & luved that old JD..thx
Happy New Year! Nice to see that old relic running so well. It sounds like she's running great, and still does a great job. That takes snow clearing from being a chore to being fun. Awesome!
You're right, it makes clearing snow an absolute blast! haha She runs great! could use an overhaul on the hydraulic fittings and lines for the blade, a new battery, and certainly a paint job, but these old things were made to run no matter what
That may not be the prettiest machine to look at, but it sure is one of the best to hear running. It's amazing how smooth it runs from a cold start.
I think it's only hitting on one cylinder
Love the old machines, I used to use a 9N ford for all my plowing. Glad to see the old stuff still doing they're thing. Keep pushing old son.
pretty cool, I had to do some research on the 430, 26 HP ! I was born and raised on the old JD's
this tractor is simply awesome !
Very cool, thanks for sharing.👍🇺🇸
Appreciate your kindness. We're lucky to have you on CZcams!!
I have a great story about this video. I made a good lady friend weep with joy by just sending this one along. A long story worthy of being told in another time and place.
I hear that distinctive "poppin johnny" sound as your are working. Good stuff but cold.
Love seeing old equipment being used as it was meant to be used.
They sure were made to work, eh Jim? No retiring for this old girl!
This must be the dozer version of the 420 tractor. Had that same sound. I remember the big ol hand clutch lever as a kid.
Nice to see people don't need shiny new things in life to get a job done and thank you for showing us a piece of history.
This vid was a joy to watch. Love the old tractors working in our Canadian snow.
That was awesome, luv the old ones. Thank you!
That was just absolutely fantastic. She sounds great. Thanks.
I love those old crawlers. Just how they look and how they sound makes them so cool to me.
That tractor is so special.
IT *NEEDS* and deserves it's own small barn.
That was a great video Kyle. What a proud moment for your grandpa when you showed him the video . I used to drive an old John years about 50 years ago. It was a brut just one huge cylinder and hand clutch that nearly tore your arm off. Great memories

haha you are 100% wrong on that one my friend. This John Deere is about 10 feet wide, and can run quite fast! Thanks for watching!
That ol girl is 60 years old
Sweet dozer! Good to see you have her in a shelter. Old iron like that is priceless!
That is a very good running old dozer. It steers so nice too.
Awesome vid. I was in Newfoundland in 99. The people there are literally the nicest, friendliest, most genuine folk I have ever met. Hope to go back with my wife and kids someday. Maybe retire there. Thanks again for the vid. I'm gealous!!!

This has got to be the best thing I’ve ever watched. I use a 1950 ford 8n on my property. Love old machines.
Great way to clear snow! True newfie smarts
I use a 1943 Ford 2N to plow my driveway here in CNY. She can be a pain to start but a joy to use. The no cab seating is no fun when the wind is blowing tho. Your ole gal sounds great.
Thanks Norm! That's pretty awesome. Currently having some trouble with my John Deere. Alternator I think.

thats not a 1010, 1010 werent 2 cylinders, despite what the sheet metal says its probably a 420
We used to have one a 420 with winch in the early 70's was a great little machine.
Lite duty jumper cables are worthless, I've seen them melt when trying to jump start a motorcycle!

Awesome tractor, I’m sure wherever your Grandpa is he’s proud you’ve kept the old girl chugging along. Mine never had a tractor, only mules. ✌️
That machine cleared the snow better then anything else I seen on here.. goes to show you that if you take care of something.. no matter how old it is.. it’ll take care of you in the long run👍🏻
That combination of green and yellow, they sure knew how to make an aesthetic paint job way back then.
I bet she was quite the sight when it rolled off the assembly line 70 years ago!

Ours was a D-2 cat in Montana. First machine I learned to drive 60+ years ago..
International Harvester Tractors are by far the very best tractors out there.

I'm jealous. love those old 50's Deere's. My grandfather had a model 40...wish I had it now
haha it's a fine piece. This is the 430, so a model 40 as well. They are so simply made, it can almost run forever. Amazing
Hi just wanted to let you know I enjoyed the video I love old equipment but it was so nice to hear your story about your Grandfather tip for staying warm at the end you seem like a real gentleman keep keeping it alive my friend 👍
Awesome tractor and a heartwarming story! Great!
This is one of those toys that makes plowing snow fun. Hell, I'd run it in the summer just to run it.
And now I’m homesick. I spent countless hours on a JD350 plowing snow on the farm in northern Wisconsin. Great memories. Makes me really appreciate the 6-way blade that one had, though.
Very interesting story about the tractor, gotta love the grandfather for telling you stories.

I love the old iron!! Still purrs like a kitten!!
It was made to dig and move dirt and rocks
Snow has no weight
Love how it’s idling to push the snow
Barely breathing
Sounds great

Great vid , i have a 1956 jd crawler , luv that machine , mine has a hyd bucket loader on the front. Its amazing how much torque those 2 cylinder jonny popper engines have !
What a great video, just love your old tractor. It must be a proud thing to still have it in your family. And still runs great!! Thanks for the video.
Nice old tractor! Runs like a charm
It was fun watching you on that old tractor. Goes to show, if you take care of something it will last for ever.
That's way too nice of a tractor to leave out in the weather. Besides, it not just a tractor, it belong to your grandfather and it's a family heirloom. Take care of it !!!
b0v1k7x B its a worker let it work.
Oh stop it by Jesus.

Your right. Keep that thing in a barn and start a working restoration on it. Do just a little work on it at a time that way you can use it at the same time.
martin daly these tractors are very rare these day (especially ones that work) it would only be common sense to keep it under shelter
Cool, Great machine. Grandpa is looking down and smiling.
Man that made my day seeing that old girl crank over and chug along. What a great machine and story. And your dog is a hoot!
It Great you do this in his memory...Merry Christmas
Had a wheeled 430. Great tractor
I love your old tractor really nice piece of kit! I'd be on that all day if I owned it My ex used to get mad at me when it snowed... LoL... I was like a giddy little kid rubbing my hands together so I could go out and play with my old Belarus 250.. haha. good times I'd spend the day out plowing every flake of snow I could find... nothing like having fun and accomplishing something while you're at it!
I have a slightly older 420. You should have a choke for that and the air cleaner hooked up. Mine swallowed a nut right through the carb before I had the air cleaner hooked up. I got lucky and nothing was damaged, but it's not worth the risk.
Way cool! Good for you.
What a relaxing vid to watch. I dozed off for a few minutes and he was just starting his second pass. Guess they call that "country time". Nice.😉
haha thanks Bob
lol just idling. love it. grandfather probably not loving how you leave that gem in the elements. Get a 200 dollar unit from amazon and cover that bad boy.
Oh man !! Imissed so much running our old john deer !!! we made wood side guards on each side of the blade to form a kind of box, so you can get more snonw without lossing some, we also often just install one side so you get on side boxed and they other side open to let the snow escape.
that thing is a beast!!
