This color film about diesel farm tractor maintenance was produced by Standard Oil in the late 40s/early 50s. The time stamps apply to the first mention of the task. It opens with a McCormick-Deering WD-40 diesel tractor, introduced in 1934 (:09). A tractor with a blade fills a ditch (15:19). A special dirt throwing attachment can create terraces (:31). A Ford 8 N tractor (1947-1952) is small for easy maneuvering (:35). A 1940s Case row-crop model (1:42) has a close-up of the temperature gauge shown (2:19). Use clean soft water from a rain barrel in the cooling system (2:37). To prevent freezing, drain and add back water when the tractor is warm (2:50). Some tractors have a pressure cooling system that must cool before removing the radiator cap (3:24). Many have a thermostat that can get damaged (3:47). A fan belt should have movement between pulleys (4:25). The radiator grill on an International Harvester Farmall (4:51) is removed due to overheating from leaves. Air cleaners should be cleared daily (5:32). Once a year, the air cleaner should be removed and completely cleaned (7:25), which includes pouring kerosene through a separating screen (7:46). An extension lets air be taken from a higher level (8:25). The Ford tractor has a cyclone pre-cleaner (8:39). Always inspect the gasket between the air cleaner and carburetor (8:57) for holes, as well as the ventilating tube (10:02) found on some tractors. Inspect the spark plugs and gaps (10:51). The Farmall instruction manual (11:02) provides information for the Farmall H (11:32) plugs and magneto points, as well as the distributor cap (11:55). The magneto is cleaned on a John Deere (12:26). The battery on a Case is serviced (13:00). Manifold regulation (13:48) must also be maintained. The John Deere gets its carburetor adjusted for a rich mixture (14:09); a flow meter (14:13) verifies fuel waste. A Farmall H also has its carburetor adjusted (15:10) before returning to the John Deere again (15:41). Be careful when refueling tractors from free-standing gas tanks (17:50). When cranking a tractor, make sure it’s out of gear (18:07). Some have a starter switch (18:18). Cold operation can affect the oil (18:27). A John Deere gets a new paper oil filter (19:23) and a Farmall gets its oil fill cap area cleaned (19:35) and another gets its valve cover removed to adjust the spark plugs and valves (19:57). An old Farmall with a single wheel at the front (21:02) has its valves ground (21:39). A Farmall H with a mounted bucket pushes hay into the barn (21:59) and can stack it (22:14) using mounted equipment. Tractors get their front-wheel bearings serviced (22:34). A Farmall gets the clutch pilot bearing greased (24:32). A John Deere gets its transmission serviced (25:35). Never tow a tractor (27:02). Hydraulic controls on a Farmall H and John Deere are shown (27:11). If your tractor is left outside, place a tin can over the exhaust stack (27:43). The Standard Oil logo is shown (28:16).

5:57 someone at the EPA just had a heart attack watching him dump that used oil right on the ground LOL
"How dare you!"
Didn’t the oil come from the ground in the first place? Remember, put things back where they came from.
Check out 5:55, I couldn't help laughing, that dude just chucks the oil on the ground. It sure is a different world today.
I love these old videos, just brilliant with advice and simplicity 👍

Even older now
He just tossed the dirty oil on the ground!
Ahhh, the good old days...
He's just putting it back where it came from.
Chris Baumgarten yeah when they didn’t have to care about the environment
Dust control
Yes the good old days
Circle of life there 😂😂
I love these old farming and equipment videos. In my very simple opinion this era was when the U.S was at it's height. Seems we have gone down hill ever since. Yeah, we have greater technology and medicine and such but as a society we have lost a lot.
Yes, dump the old oil out right there on the ground. It's the right place for it.
Great Info
It’s relaxing and almost meditative to watch these old videos or films. It’s funny to see how farmers were dressing back in the 50’s. I had to laugh when they were servicing the oil bath air filter and discarded the used oil on the ground. How times have changed. Thanks so much for sharing this information.
Glad you enjoyed it. Subscribe !
Thank goodness for modern diesel tractors. Those old machines have a lot of character, but it's a lot of work keeping them serviced, and going through a daily routine just to get it up to working temperature
Till you realize without a $30k computer, which Mr. Deere won't sell you, you can't even service a power seat motor...
2:35 dirty rain water is the best to put into your tractor
Imagine if you told the farmers in that day that if they followed this advise they would end up with a tractor worth up to fourty times as much as they payed in the 21st century
Back then tractors, and almost anything, was designed and built to last, especially when treated in the way the manufacture recommended, today’s machinery is far to complex and computer controlled, you need a degree in computer maintenance and advanced engineering, but that, as they keep telling us, is progress.
Imagine if you told farmers in that day they wouldn't be allowed to work on their own tractor. Imagine telling them about the subscription based functions they have to pay for otherwise they lose the functionality.
@@kd4pba ; please stop spreading lies!!
Other than perhaps one with a special serial number, a very short run tractor like an JD 8020, or one that was in a movie name one tractor that has gone up fourty times. So for example a $6,000 4010 would have to be worth $240,000, and if you adjust for inflation it would have to me worth $2.4 million.
Take a drink every time he says tractor🍺
This film conveys the attitude towards the environment years ago in the scene where dirty air cleaner oil is discarded on the ground.
People didn't think twice about using ungloved hands to clean out engine oil sudge. Health hazards were greater in the past because leaded gasoline was used in gas engine tractors and lead deposits are in the oil.
Very cool old video
Very informative video,the tractors were started with and without battery, the magneto was very common word using for distributor now a days, the magneto were also used in aircrafts like B-24 and B-17 bombers.

Tons of vehicles used a magneto far into the 20th Century.
most farmers 😊😊 took really good care of there tractor 🚜 😊many years ago when the tractor was brand new gas motor a.nd grease wasn't much in price back then 😊😊 U should've done this 2 tes a year take air cleaner assembly should be took off and cleaned out and raised out the engine the same way and the transmission also and most tractors were kept in a tractor shed and U should use a metal coffee can 4 the air cleaner and the exhaust pipe W a 5 gallon bucket 4 both and put a good rock on them 2 keep them in place 😊😊 OMG 2 23 2O24
This said "care of Diesel tractors" but it showed basic maintenance on all tractors!!
tootired76 maintenance is care...
25:09 well I guess they usually would say more grease is better than no grease at all😩
The best tractors find that balance between not scaring horses but can still scare women.
Coffee does the trick
I was given my friend greef about the worn out pins in his skid loader, I asked him how often he greased it and he just shrugged and guessed twice a month, I said it should be every week and showed him my skid loader which had twice the hours and was twice as old and had much tighter pins because it was greased
Dave, ya need to follow this advice. Eaglegards...
Good video, but it says nothing about care of a diesel tractor after the introductory slide.
27:04 hay that’s the way you get your work done faster you get to your next Field quicker🤓
The chick in the red sweater was combing my porterhouse
5:56 Just throw that oil in the driveway there. Don't worry about it getting all over things or poisoning the soil.
That lady who was brushing the calf went behind the barn later in the afternoon and smoked a bowl.
19:17 drain the oil on the ground and make sure you get it all over the place ah the time before the EPA!
Everyone’s talking about the oil on the ground, no mention of the smoking tractor at 9:17
2:25 and if water is the fuel do you want it over 220 degrees
If you start watching at twenty two minutes, It's funny how they show the guy throwing the old oil on the ground
Darn, a tractor with a cigarette habit 😂
Are these engines tier 4
9:33 that’s not a tractor piston that’s a train piston
No storm drain to dump used oil!
Love these old videos. Not a care for the environment. Just toss the oil on the ground. Imagine the shit you'd get today for doing that? 😁
20:32 when blowing into the skin flute you have to blow really hard😚
How do you make aunty freeze ?
Lock her out of the house!
17:04 oh don’t do that!😘
9:15 to fix a hole by the air cleaner take a cigarette and stuff into the hole and allow the tractor to take a good long drag that will improve the performance of the engine or you could use duct tape
3:13 oh what happened to using antifreeze in these things I guess they used to use water all year around so that the block would crack when it was too cold and then the water pump would split looks like a lot of work for the summer months when he hast to replace the engine and water pump!😩😩
Antifreeze was invented in 1926. Up to that point the block had to be drained of the water to prevent cracking the block as you stated. It was common practice at the time and didn't involve the expense of antifreeze. Just add water the next time you used the tractor so the practice continued. Same practice for cars, and trucks.
0:26 hey is that a Stream that he’s filling in with dirt if that happened today the tractor operator would get find so heavily DNR
Back when people would dress snappy to work on a tractor.
No wonder my tractor on my last one year
Sure, lt me just stick my fingers into this running valve train. 🤣🤣
4:36 when adjusting the generator use a crowbar and pry on it really hard and have the belt tight like a guitar string when you can play a note on the belt then you know you adjusted it right!😳
Kerosene your Keister!
17:53 make sure you’re smoking a cigarette or a cigar when you’re refueling😳
You can't even light a pool of diesel with a match.
@@svtirefire i'am talking about gas refueling :-)
9:16 that tractor is gonna get lung cancer lol
I can drive a big old Farmall
