Precious, precious days, Henry. This sentence is coming from an 83 yr old great-grandma who watched our son and grandson work on their "gray and red". Again, thanks for the memories, Henry and Pete. May God Bless and Keep you all.
Grey n Red ?? Asking from the UK Thanks Mary
Henry got jokes..not from u🤣🤣🤣
@@timwilkinson2797 Ford 8N from the 1950’s best of times!
Remember, Henry. What do we do to strangers on the internet? That's right. We ignore them. Great job helping dear old dad out. He's a great man and a fantastic teacher. I have great admiration for your dad.
And there's the dad joke. A tad cerebral but that's what daddy's like to do. It can't be faked.😱
The way Henry's father completed the work on the farm made me admire.
Good to see Henry learning and making memories with dad. Memories that last his life time.
I believe he will continue to be a successful generation of farmers with that wonderful farm.
Excelente comentário!
Memórias maravilhosas e que vai lembrar com saudosismo um dia.
16:03 Henry's clapping takes me back to working in the garage with my dad on the family cars and having silent little celebrations that something worked. My ever-stoic Dad never much noticed or joined in but it was fun being his cheerleading, light-holding apprentice!
Nicely said and a sentiment which others can surely share! 👍
I promise you- he noticed ❤
Pete and Henry it was good seeing you both working together. Those extra hands that are learning are also very helpful. It still amazes me that people like you and I Pete can set timing by listening and watching the engine running for the timing to be set today's stuff nope. Thank you Ed
My dad was an auto and diesel mechanic. When he was growing up in Brooklyn he knew a deaf man who could adjust the engine by placing his hand on the fender. He knew from the vibrations if it was running smoothly or not
Glad Henry is getting involved. It’s nice seeing young adults helping and learning.
Would you like to have a life on this farm?
Henery is really a good fit. So much of Dad and Mom there.
I believe that in the near future he will also complete the work on this farm very well.
Funny how I could smell the exhaust. Thank you Pete.
What a nice young man Henry is glad he is learning from Dad then off to research new jokes 😁
My father has been gone almost 15 years. I think back to the 1970s when he taught me to use a moldboard plow, or do maintenance on the equipment, sometimes some choice words putting mounted cultivators on.
It was invaluable. He was a good teacher. Pete seems like a good teacher. No matter what Henry does in his life, he'll always remember working with and learning from dad.
It's such a joy seeing a Dad and his Son getting their hands dirty while wrenching on a machine.
There are 100 million sons out there that never get the experience Henry is getting, gold!
"Not from you"!!! Brutal Henry brutal. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Henry for joining your dad in these videos, and for putting up with his jokes. Ha!
Tractors need to be used to stay in good health! Never has a truer statement been made. Thanks Pete!
Good morning Pete and Henry. Watching your videos is like visiting friends. Wishing all of you a great weekend. ❤
It's good that Henry has an interest in Mechanics.... I started at his age at a Gulf Gas Station behind our house. The owner, Joe Maider had a Wrecker, he raced Stock Cars he could teach anyone anything they wanted to know. My dad didn't like me spending all my time down there... but there was 4 vehicles in our Family and I got to take care of them all in the 60's.... Later I went Automotive School in Rhode Island...! =)
I think one of the most appealing things about that old equipment is the fact that the average guy can still work on them.
Thanks for the video, Pete.
Henry understands your humor.😄
I loved it when Henry applauded after you got the tractor running!!! I agree, great memories here!!
Great to see Henry working on the tractor with you Pete, seems like a really good young man. Keep them coming from 2 cylinder popping johnny.
The expression on Henry’s face when you were first starting the tractor was priceless he’s a good kid soon to be a first class young man
Never get tired of you calmly and meticulously tearing down and rebuilding you tractors. And a good dad joke, have a great weekend!!
You gotta make sure you get that pointer around... 🤣 I love that you're able to do these things with your children. I sure miss those days with my dad. Great video!
"Have you heard any good jokes recently, Henry?" to which Henry replies "Not from you" 2:15 - priceless interaction! Thank you for that, Pete and Henry! That put a big smile on my face as it was perfect timing and facial expressions on both of you! Also great that you put in the new distributor and it starts more reliably. The machine is probably getting a better spark at startup and that helps. It seems that the magneto ignition is not as strong a spark for that initial startup... 👍
Henry is awesome. We need to see more of him. Great memories for you both. God bless
It’s great that you’re passing along all your great knowledge to your son!
Those are generations of great farmers, they make America beautiful.
Treasure your time with your parents Henry. Just as your dad said, time flies by and then they're gone. Learn as much as you can while they are here. By learning what I could from my parents, I find myself not missing them as much. I miss being able to talk with them though I don't really miss them because I, in a sense, am them. I have even found myself telling dad jokes, lol
It warms my heart to see you and Henry working together 💗
Would be neat to see a lineup of all that Red Power! Thank you for sharing! Your videos are always good !
Well played Henry, "Not from you." Then dead-pan walk away. That's how you make the ol' man laugh. Would that little tractor be a good choice for running the sickle-bar cutter for reaching beneath the fences for keeping those groomed? That could become a good Henry job to get used to the feel of a tractor. That's great that he's taking an interest in that little ol' girl.
Glad to see Henry getting involved in the tractor repair. Not only spending time with your dad which is priceless but learning how to help your dad as he ages.
Pete: ".....Heard any good jokes, Henry?" H: "Not from you." Hilarious! What a truly wonderful blessing having a son (at home, too!) is. Tho at times they keep us 'umble....
Its really nice watching you teach Henry.
Love seeing Henry apprenticing! It helps me learn.
Henry is a lucky guy. Pete is a lucky guy.
And we're lucky to share in that luck! 👍
I love the look on Henrys face when the A fires up the first time
As always it is good to see father and son working together! Henry, what makes your dad's jokes so good is that they are so bad!
It sure is nice seeing you guys working together. My dad isn’t into mechanics. But I still go out in the garage and fiddle around. Glad you two have fun doing projects!
I like that you have henry helping you and learning how to work with his hands.he will look back with fond memories of the time working with you.
Passing your knowledge on to Henry in a hands-on session is ideal.
Nice to see a young man with his pants pulled up and learning life skills! Great job Mom! Good job Pete. 😂😂
you two are hilarious. Paddy’s disgruntled mooooo’s have perfect timing. zip zap zinger 😂
Nothing as sweet as watching a loving father as he teaches his son. The real high point was the look on Henry's face when that old girl fired up. Priceless.
Pete glad you are teaching Henry how to work on equipment it sure does make lasting memories
Good morning Pete. Sounds like the birds are happy too. Enjoy a glorious weekend buddy. You’re living the good life, just like my family.
Spending time with family is what we get out of bed for Pete
2:18 😳🤣 Nice father and son passing of the torch. Knowledge that is. You guys are blessed to have each other Pete. Love your videos. Thank you.
Really cool to watch young Henry learning from old ... um Experienced Dad. Nice juxtaposition of your dirty and worn coat compared to Henry's new, clean looking coat. It's like looking into Henry's future.
At the start of this video I wanted to make some jokey comment, but this was just too "feel good" to tamper with. Magic moment when she fires up!
To Henry, Great job! None of us are born with knowledge and every mountain is overcome one step at a time.
Dang. Too much to say on this one. I've had to edit. Great stuff.
Good job Henry helping dad. Good to break in your Carhartt too!
When Henry arm's went up I wonder was he thinking "its alive" ? 👍👍👍 first thing I typically yell when the old girls take off chugging
Nice to see a parent that teaches his or her kids different things.
Loved Henry’s excitement when it finally started up!!
Make sure to take care of you, so you stay in good health. Thanks
Boy that is a lot of beautiful red tractors. Farmalls, what a sight!.
Hi Henry It is wonderful to see you with your son. He looks happy to be with you and spending time with u My dad never wanted to be with me he was a mean drunk he died and it was to late u keep making good memories with your son it is real good to see . He will always love you and respect you and no one can take the good times with you away.
Good evening, I enjoy Henry and his father Pete working together on the tractor. I enjoy when my boys work with me Steve from nB
That was fun. I like the rapport between you and Henry. Knowing at my place it is -10° (-137°C haha) See you working without gloves made my fingers hurt. Our neighbor uses a Super A to saw and split wood. Just a thought.
Henery is very observant. He is a rock star!!
So many boys would like to have a father like Henry has.
Thankyou, Pete, for training your son.
Now that Henry knows how to start and run the Super A it will get more use. Even if it is just joy riding out in the fields, try to think of it as home school Driver's Ed.
Good to see you two wrenching together, I fondly look back on those days when I come home from school and Dad from the mill just to go out into the backyard to try to bring some recalcitrant hunk of junk he got in trade back to working order. He never had much spending money, but I think he had a sense of achievement when he fixed equipment others gave up on.
That's right about the Driver's Ed comment. I learned how to shift gears with a clutch on a old Farmall A with the offset steering shaft. Even though I didn't learn how to shift up or down while moving due to lack of syncros, I was able to master the clutch and shifter enough to make my transition to a car as seamless as possible.
Funny how the older ⚙ works for a lot longer than modern technology does..very nice to see the old beauty getting love;))
Well that's another good lesson for Henry, he sure will take a lot of fond memories with him from this, I know I did with my dad during those types of lessons. I think this is a nice time of year to take care of these types of tasks. I enjoy seeing Henry and you work together, brings back a lot of fond memories of dad and I. Thanks Pete, have a nice day!
When I was a kid, I recall helping my grandfather in his garage. One of the tasks I remember is using a special spark plug cleaner to freshen the plugs. You inserted the spark end into a rubber opening and stepped on a pedal that would be like a sandblaster to clean the plug.
Usually the first thing that happens when I take the bottom cover off the bell housing of my 140 is I have to clean out mice nests, acorns ect. I'm convinced this is where the Holy Grail will one day be found. I love those off set Farmalls and grew up using a Cub and 140s. I can't get over how much Henry has grown. Have a great weekend Mr. Pete!
I don't know if you ever watched the movie FRANKENSTEIN with Gene Wilder, but when he brought FRANKENSTEIN to life he loudly exclaims "ITS ALIVE!" I couldn't help but laugh when it started. All I could think was "ITS ALIVE!" Henry and Pete, have a great evening. 😉😊
Great to see your son taking an interest and helping out. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.
So good to see you and your son working together . Show more of it . 😊
It’s absolutely fantastic watching father teaching the son life skills. Love it. I so enjoy your family and your videos Thank you
I love Henry’s reaction when the super A started, classic. A future tractor engineer in the making, or something like that anyway. Great episode thanks.
that Henry is a crack up...I'm sure we will all miss him .. Its just like when have 2 fast guns in a gang you eventually gotta see which ones quicker.
I rebuilt several VW engines in my high school days, alongside my father. I do value the time though my remberance was of dad never saying a word. Never much conversation between us. Really great to see a father and son in communication. Soothes my soul.
Great video! Thanks Pete
That's a sweet little tractor, Pete. Thanks for posting all of the mechanicking videos. They are very helpful for us tractor newbies.
We just need the wife and the other kids to come join in on the fun of rebuilding one of the tractors!
Like to see you working with Henry and passing along the tradition like your dad did.... The birds I'm hearing in the video are English sparrows not swallows.
oh man "not from you" i about chocked on my drink. but i still use your jokes as i think they are funny
Good to see Henry there learning.
Hi Pete! Ken here from Nova Scotia. I’m kinda having a little chuckle to myself here. When I was Henry age I swore I would not ever like my dad. Dad jokes and just coming up with things to make my kids laugh. I’ll say something now and am like, oh my gosh, there it is. Guess really it’s not so bad. My dad lives in me the same as I live in what my boys say and do. Life’s circle. It’s great you and Henry are doing that project together.
Pete enjoy how you take things slowly to make sure it is done right. You teaching your son reminds me how I teach mine. My son Nathan Henry will soon be 14 in March. Teaching them is important, just like my dad taught me. You telling him about watching out so he doesn’t poke the screw driver in his hand. That was so true because we probably poked ourselves a few times. Thank you for sharing. Blessings🙂
I love seeing all of those Farmalls lined up in your barn. I started using a Farmall H on the farm when I was about Henry's age. I remember my dad teaching me to work on things the way you and Henry work together. it brings back good memories of my dad who has been gone almost twenty years now. Treasure the time with Henry, he will be grown and out on his own in the blink of an eye.
Thanks Pete! Always fun watching a father and son working together and my son loves to help me all the time at 7 years old. That’s why I bought a basket case cub cadet for us to work on in the near future together
Hi Pete thanks for updating us with the tractor, yes thanks too Henny for helping you , good too teach him about tractor fixing up , we keep watching any thing you put up Pete ,it's your farm and what you do on it and put on the clip is up too you mate
Henry seems like a fine young man. A chip off the old block Pete! Good stuff!!
Man , in 20 years ya'll are gonna be a well oiled machine. LOve you mean it.
Nice day in the shop, Good to see Henry joining the learning of Farmall Tractors. He did well helping and shows good aptitude in working more complex issues, Keep it up Henry.
Love seeing the family. My husband dies not miss an episode of your show. God Bless❤
Teaching the future to carry on this lifestyle is awesome! Hard work but it’s good for our souls as human beings.
Hi Pete, Kai just came (7:00pm Friday) He said you called him to tell him that you are happy he watches your videos. LOL Kai has great fabricative imagination. We are rewatching today’s video,
Hi Pete, here’s some “Dad jokes” for Henry. What’s orange and sounds like a parrot? A carrot.
I took up origami for a while but I had to give it up !!! Too much paperwork.
Why did the invisible man turn down the job offer? He couldn’t see himself doing it.
Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon ? The food was great but no atmosphere.
I slept like a log last night I woke up in the fireplace.
Two goldfish are in a tank one says to the other do you know how to drive this thing? 😂😂😂😂😂
I hope he likes them, keep up the great work look forward to seeing you next time.
Love to see you restore the Farmall Cub
Some times sons can be so blunt jokes are supost to be fun 0h well 😂😂😂❤
Great day with your son! He is growing up and time together now is so important. He is funny when you talk about jokes. Eyes roll. When you see this tractor next to the restored models, Aw come on Pete, next winter you need a project. When are you going to start the new pig area? You give us all excitement when you talk of improvement and it will be easier for you to handle with all the activity. No matter what you do, I will be there cheering you on. Enjoy your channel!
Hay Pete it’s good you teach Henry the mechanical skills that you have you can’t ask for a better teacher
That was funny coming from Henry, and of course another fine video Pete
I like how you relax your son with humour, great fathers use humour not mean insults and just what I call jack ass fathering . Plus home farm education in combination with quality schooling will give Henry a bright future.❤
Son helping Dad together to fix the old Tractor. A farmers life on the old homestead sharing the most precious things together. College come pretty quick but the things learned here are priceless.
Wish i had this time with my father soak all this time with yours Henry god bless
Henry sure has grown be surprised how much information he's soaking up
Your barn sounds like a pet shop 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
