I'm very happy you did not stop making mechanical videos. Don't pay attention to the nitpickers just do your thing. I really enjoyed the MD and all the other Farmalls mechanical videos you did.
I really enjoyed this. Haven’t done valve adjustments in over 50 years. When I left the farm in 1970, I started working on turbine engines in the Air Force.
I liked when Pete first pulled out the tractor and he'd forgotten the manure spreader was still attached! Seems like something I would do and I appreciated that he didn't edit that out of real life.
Love the tractor work Pete! Great to see these type of mechanics being done, they're the type of thing that people would perhaps feel confident to try themselves and an essential part of having machinery
Hey Pete! First comment. Love your channel. I wish you were around about 20 years ago when I had an old Ford 8N that needed restored. I didn't do it because I was intimidated by it but after watching you, not so much now. I think I could have given it a whirl.
It was so funny to watch my wife when you faded out for the first time. All she said was (really). We love watching your videos together and want to say thank you for being so pure at heart. Keep up the great videos and together we will make the world a better place.
Oh ho listing to that 756’s D-310 run without the muffler was such a nice throw back and memory bringer up of the straight piped IH 686 my great uncle had
Thank you Pete for allowing us to see inside the real life of things on the farm. Things don't always go right and I've heard it said, "every 20 minute job is 1 broken bolt away from becoming a 3 day ordeal". We never seem to get what we want done, so if anything get something done and be happy. Really appreciate the videos and thank you!
Part of being a farmer is you need the know how to fix everything you have. Pete your one good mechanic. I Can't wait to see the 576 looking new again. I know you'll end up doing it, sooner then later. (This coming winter)
Pete do you not like or want to work on the tractor in the barn while it's raining? You've got the cows to keep you company. Thanks for inviting us into your day. Cheers. Vancouver, Canada
Your spot on with the manual, can't stress enough the importance of having a good manual, I'll have to check them out. My son and I had to adjust the lash on his Massey Ferguson 285 last year, he blew a head gasket cutting hay, that was fun. Great looking job on the chicken, looked delicious. Thanks for sharing, have a good week.
Pete you allways do a wonderful job on all your videos allways something different something new from across the pond in Great Britain good luct with the tractor will be watching for the finished product good luck Pete
Hey, Pete! No apology is necessary. What I like is the variety, the familiarity, the normalcy, the humour, the mechanical details, the surprises ... planned and unplanned. It's like hangin' out with a friend. The only thing anywhere near negative is I can almost smell the BBQ and taste whats cookin' but still get real hungry. The pork belly roast I can drool about. Keep it up, Bud.
Hi Pete, I never get tired of watching your channel. I'm looking forward to restoring my 1942 Ford 2N in about a year after I save up the money. I learned a lot watching you and saw every video on the MD. That care and keep the videos coming!
Another great video Pete. It appears to me that you and Hillary are the kind of folks that everyone would like to have as a neighbor! Keep up the good work.
Life is just life , you go with the flow and make the best of it ! We will be happier for it ! It sure helps to have a cooperative wife also !!! Thank You for your videos !!! GOD BLESS Y'ALL !!!
I often wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to get rid of those dang cork valve cover gaskets. My H still leaks despite trying to be sure everything was clean and straight. Guess I'll pull it off again and check the valves and try your method. The chicken looks amazing!
Please continue the maintenance on the next video! I pretty much have to do everything you've laid out on my new 560 but it's far easier watching you work on yours!
I always enjoy your videos. From chores to restoration to just educational or informative. There is always something to learn on your channel. I enjoy seeing the tractor restoration projects. I also like that you have an almost museum of the tractors you have moved up to on your farm. You didn't get rid of one to get another and you still use them from time to time. You are truly an inspiration to anyone that wants to get something from your videos.
My father-in-law was a machinist. He said to figure out an estimate of time to do a job: best guess, then double it, then half it and add to double. He was right most of the time. Yes, 3 times best guess, but his way of telling you was a lot better. ha
I always have to tell my farm help that New Holland jacks all crank backwards, not a clue why ? Gotta disagree with you about the anti-seize. Yes, it makes a mess of your hands and anything else it touches, but that is why it works. Stands up yo water, heat, oil. I have disassembled things that I put together decades ago, and the dame apart like it was a week ago. I’m glad I don’t have the electric bill for your freezers. Keep up the good work, Pete.
The new Tractor is a welcome challenge that's just waiting for a going over. Spring's in the air. The tractor will soon have Pete's touch of rebuild as nature makes itself renew.
Your gentle integrity is why your channel continues to thrive, Pete!!! There were many times, on our family farm in Minnesota, when Dad had to go with the flow in making repairs or getting a crop in before a rainstorm. A quarter of a million of us love you and your dear family and look forward to WHATEVER you have to share with us!!! ;o)
I enjoy the mechanical videos as well. Fun to see the old Farmalls. My take is anyone who complains abut the mechanical videos needs to spend more time on a farm! On my farm I spend a good deal of time with maintenance and repairs on equipment. Farm a little, fix a little!
I like your channel it is entertaining and has variety. Farming is not just feeding animals. It has upkeep and repairs. Keep them coming I enjoy them very much. Brings me back to my childhood.
Hi Pete, I'm just a city slicker from a city in Canada and I enjoy all your videos be it mechanical, the animals or the farmers market. You're like what Bob Ross was to art you are to farming. Your videos allow me to escape and to just imagine another life for 15 or so minutes. Thank you!
Pete, it is nice to see you care for gasket faces, I ran aluminium engines and you had to be careful to clean the faces without hacking at stuff, a good gasket face seals easily, and yes if you stick the cork gasket down on one face you can open it again. Great stuff, I like this tractor, and I ain't no farmer, just interested.
Outstanding video. Love the tractor maintenance and overhaul videos. As a young man looking to follow in your footsteps by developing my own homestead, I appreciate the insight and valuable information. I hope you consider a restoration on this tractor. Take care.
Yes I have to agree with you I've bought manuels through quite a few places including through the oem. I've gotten 2 sets of manuels through peaceful creek and have been extremely impressed.
My grand paw had a farm all cub A tractor when I was a little boy and he learned me how to operate it I’m 65 years old and sir I’ll never forget that time we spent togather loved that grandpaw I had and shore miss him
Growing up on a south central Minnesota farm my dad never had the luxury of manuals. If it needed work the local dealer would bring a tractor to use while repairs were being done. That was a great service. When I started working on tractors for restoration I would get the best possible manuals. IH of course. Jensales was started real close to where I grew up. My dad went to school with founder. They save a lot of time. Of course, the internet is also very good. Pete always puts enough information to help with repairs. That is always great. He is methodical and never seems to get upset. Thanks Pete.
I have a Farmall M that needs a little work done to it. Last time it started, ran for 15 seconds, and it quit. We are thinking of replacing the battery terminal (corrosion). And maybe the plugs and plug wires (age). Maybe it'll run better that it was. Sometimes when we throttled up it would sound like it was dying then roar back at the higher set RPM. However that sounds like a timing issue.
For those symptoms, I'd start with the easy stuff - air, fuel, spark. 1. Clean the points & lightly grease the vacuum advance. Check the button, rotor, & contacts on the distributor cap while you're there. Spark advance that doesn't respond to the governor, or doesn't provide hot enough spark could cause sputtering under throttle changes. 2. Clean the carburetor, making sure none of the needle jets are clogged, packing nuts don't leak, float still floats, and governor actuator moves. If one of the air or fuel circuits isn't metering correctly, your engine could be running lean or flooding when you throttle up. 3. Check the air cleaner, making sure there's no water in the bottom of the cup, and the fluid level is not over full. Also check for good fuel flow out of the sediment bowl below the fuel tank.
@@jimputnam2044 That was my first thought as well. An engine that's easy to start, but doesn't stay running very long doesn't sound like a charging system issue. But the fuel system would be definitely need looking at.
I think I told you already, but my old buddy from Iowa used to square dance with red Farmall Tractors. I mean these tractors were completely gone through, looking better than new. It was amazing watching these guys and gals driving their immaculate Farmall Tractors just barely missing each other. All on a very small piece of concrete.
I am thrilled that you like Head Country seasoning rub. It is made in my home state of Oklahoma. The Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauces and seasonings are my go to for the grill. Thank you so much for the great videos Pete.
Thats a funny intro there are bloggers out there that would make 3 videos that could easily be just one. As always your videos are complete and on task thanks for doing what you do.
Ah, now i know where the gasket is when someone says.. she blew a gasket over that! Your mastery of pieces and parts of the mechanical engine is the entertainment part for mechanical me. How it works is the magic.
I'm very happy you did not stop making mechanical videos. Don't pay attention to the nitpickers just do your thing. I really enjoyed the MD and all the other Farmalls mechanical videos you did.
I agree
I find myself hoping that you'll still be making videos by the time you do a full restoration on the 756.
I really enjoyed this. Haven’t done valve adjustments in over 50 years. When I left the farm in 1970, I started working on turbine engines in the Air Force.
Yep. Like the mechanical work videos as well as the farm life videos.
Agreed
I don't know, Pete. Why would people complain about the mechanical stuff? It's easily one of my favorite things on your channel. Thank you👍
Seriously? Some complained about the mechanical stuff? I like ALL of what he shows on video.
why would they complain ? neat video
Tractors are like dogs , there always happy when they find a good home and lots of attention. 😆 🤣
I liked when Pete first pulled out the tractor and he'd forgotten the manure spreader was still attached! Seems like something I would do and I appreciated that he didn't edit that out of real life.
Love the tractor work Pete! Great to see these type of mechanics being done, they're the type of thing that people would perhaps feel confident to try themselves and an essential part of having machinery
Yes this stuff is pretty self-explanatory, and very rewarding if you do it yourself.
Manual's like that one are priceless!
Good morning Pete. Thank you for your humor. 🤣🤣🤣
That set of manuals… Wow!
Tractor valves look good
Chicken looks good
My favorite thing is he is allways smiling.
Love watching a man living a wholesome life! Hard work = great life ! 👍💪

It was very entertaining~ I was supposed to be heading to town, instead i watched it all lol~
Love the tractor maintenance and repair vid there my favorites
I enjoyed it.
Great video Pete. Oooo shiny tractor parts😁 Chickens are also great.
And yes, everything today was interesting and entertaining!
It was so funny to watch my wife when you faded out for the first time. All she said was (really). We love watching your videos together and want to say thank you for being so pure at heart. Keep up the great videos and together we will make the world a better place.
When that happened, I went What?
My wife always asks, "where's Ezra?" 🤷♂️

Pete your knowledge of tractors and mechanical ability are amazing.
Pete's got the obsessive compulsive "tractor factor".
Thank you Pete for allowing us to see inside the real life of things on the farm.

Valve adjustment on your tractor and chicken on the rotisserie over hot coals. You're a man among men Pete.
Pete do you not like or want to work on the tractor in the barn while it's raining? You've got the cows to keep you company. Thanks for inviting us into your day. Cheers. Vancouver, Canada
No matter what Pete your videos are always entertaining. Hey the driveway looks pretty good. 😍

It turned out great, both the bird and the video. Thx
Pete I liked the format today, it’s more like true life as a farmer.
Pete you allways do a wonderful job on all your videos allways something different something new from across the pond in Great Britain good luct with the tractor will be watching for the finished product good luck Pete
I'm 77 yrs old , I enjoy watching your video's,
Great video Mr. Pete
Omg you got me Pete! You rascal. 💛
Hey, Pete! No apology is necessary. What I like is the variety, the familiarity, the normalcy, the humour, the mechanical details, the surprises ... planned and unplanned. It's like hangin' out with a friend. The only thing anywhere near negative is I can almost smell the BBQ and taste whats cookin' but still get real hungry. The pork belly roast I can drool about.

Hi Pete, I never get tired of watching your channel. I'm looking forward to restoring my 1942 Ford 2N in about a year after I save up the money. I learned a lot watching you and saw every video on the MD. That care and keep the videos coming!
Watching you adjusting valves brings back memories of my husband and I working on our old cars
Another great video about farm life in real time.
Mr Pete I'm amazed how well you know you way around those engines. Truly amazed 😊😊
best video like to go back and watch your old stuff
Hahaha - you're such a kidder :) Love your humor Pete - keep it up. Really enjoy watching your videos ❣
Hello Pete good video. Off to the races and getting the tractor up to par. Have a great day.
I'm jealous. That tractor was a good find
Another great video Pete. It appears to me that you and Hillary are the kind of folks that everyone would like to have as a neighbor! Keep up the good work.
Now you need to build a bigger grange to fit the bigger tractor. 😊
All of your videos are very entertaining dont worry about that!!😀
The amount work that farmers have to put in to get consumers a piece of 🍖. Thank you. 😇
Life is just life , you go with the flow and make the best of it ! We will be happier for it ! It sure helps to have a cooperative wife also !!! Thank You for your videos !!!
GOD BLESS Y'ALL !!!

Great value for the manuals.
Nothing better than getting new parts delivered for projects 👍🏻
You have to luv a guy who cooks a chicken right next to the chicken coupe.
Always enjoy your videos, no matter what the content is.
Wahhhhh! Short......oh wait..... My bad! Lol
Cool to watch Pete, thanks for the chuckle...i hope i returned the favor. 😁
That was just a joy to watch after a long intense day. Thank you for taking us along Peter!

Thanks for the mechanical videos. I enjoy the basic maintenance of life. I always enjoy repairing old equipment.

Looks like another exciting renovation project. Awesome!
Nothing I love more than watching people work on tractors. Keep up the great work!
Already looking good!
Top of those valves looks better (no sludge or gunk ) than most iv seen . Somebody was actually talking care of it at one time .
See ya Pete hope dinner was great my friend
Thank you for the valve adjustment tutorial! Love these videos! That’s a sweet attachment for your weber grill!

Tweaking the farm machinery is all part of the seasons in farming. I'm glad that you share that with us.
another great video thanks pete
Thank you for your videos of real life farming
I appreciate your effort for complete documentation on your tractor. I am still struggling with the "read instructions first" part.

I appreciate the deep dives into tractors. It's a skill that really isn't taught anymore but is essential to keeping equipment costs down

We love both the sauce and the rub. A thoughtful viewer from OK sent us it. Luckily it's also available online.
I’m a city boy and not sure why I absolutely enjoy these videos
Hey buddy, we love your channel.
Thats a funny intro there are bloggers out there that would make 3 videos that could easily be just one. As always your videos are complete and on task thanks for doing what you do.
There are few things more enjoyable than Pete working on a tractor!
Hey Pete love the video good to see you keep up with the mechanic work on the 756 and the cosmetics
ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ARE ENTERTAINING AND ENJOYABLE TO WATCH , THANKS PETE ❤️🇨🇦
This is the grill. The rotisserie is genius! I grabbed a 16" stainless comal for mine to do bacon and smash burgers. Works like a charm.
Ah, now i know where the gasket is when someone says.. she blew a gasket over that! Your mastery of pieces and parts of the mechanical engine is the entertainment part for mechanical me. How it works is the magic.
