- I put the new/old fuel tank on the McCormick Deering 10-20, start up the engine, and go for a ride. Along the way, I explain some of the cool features and history of this nearly 100 year old tractor.

Pete, thanks for being an engaging teacher and giving a tour of your historic 97 year old McCromick-Deering tractor with us. She sounds like music to our ears. We love your channel.
Need to hear that old MD run too!
Finally got around to this video.
My Grandfather's 10-20 sold at his 1936 retirement auction.
A year later my Dad bought a used F20.
Love the video.
I really appreciate how you explain not only what you're doing, but why. Super entertaining videos.
Awesome to see it run, almost a 100 years old. Back when things were made to last.
First tractor on our farm was a McCormick-Deering 10-20 purchased by my great grandfather. When I was a kid our neighbor (also my great grandfathers nephew) remembered pulling a Sears-Roebuck disk with it.
Started fishing around in your older videos... it's so cool you have all these pieces of Americana in working order and still usable. Truly inspiring.
The amount of knowledge you have and share is truly amazing. Love hearing whatever you have to share! Hope all is well
Really cool flashback in time.
enjoyed the tour of your tractor --- it's great that people keep these old things running to preserve the history. I love the stance and the patina of that thing.
A nice old piece of equipment. I sure do love the early IH tractors. She idles down nicely!!
I’m not a farmer but I absolutely love your channel for many reasons, thanks for doing what you do. Wish I lived near you; would definitely be a customer.
Very cool Pete. My grandfather's first tractor back in the day was a McCormick Deering 10-20. Never seen it or heard it, but I'm sure it was very similar to yours. Keep the old iron running. Thanks for sharing.
What a Beautiful tractor. Thank you. I needed this. Farm to city. Ugh
Just discovered your channel. That’s a great looking and sounding tractor! Thanks for keeping history alive! 🇺🇸🚜👍

@@pamhammaker1856 WHAT???
That is such an awesome video. I'm not very mechanically inclined, but love seeing old things brought back to life🎆
So awesome you keep the old tractors alive
I like the 10-20 and the late F-20. You have a nice assortment in good working order.
The old girl sounds good.
How awesome. I love the sound of that idle. WOW... It's surprising it runs like that.
And voila! The past comes alive! History in the making!
Glad that there are still people out there that look at old equipment and see them as useful not just scrap metal. Thanks Pete.
You're welcome Larry! I love to spend time tinkering on old things.
I have a couple old tractors and I love to see other people work on tractors it is such a great learning experience
I didn't suspect that I would be interested in tractors or tractor repair, but
I suppose I did not know myself as well as I thought.
Well done and very engaging.
Wow another great history lesson. Each one of your videos bring joy 🤩 and happiness to us viewers, your are a true American treasure. Thanks 🙏.
I enjoyed this video so much. I'm reading a book on the history of IH. it's a thrill seeing these old iron workhorse run.
Love to see old things get restored. Another great video, Pete.
Love the tractor Pete! Glad you were able to save her!
'Well Done' for the old Mc-1020. Really appreciate your presentation.
Wow!!!! I love it!!! Thanks for keeping them alive👍
That Tractor sounds wonderful!! Wow
Great video. You are super talented with these tractors and engines.
Awesome to see that tractor run sure made me smile
Great work! I do hope you put her to work now and again.
Great video. You are an inspiration sir. You've made me want to get my 1924 McCormick Deering 10-20 running again.
Loving your videos! Liking everyone as I go along.
Your tutorial is terrific..I would love to see more as your time permits..many thanks..Whitney
Got one in the barn , great grandpa bought brand new.
I love old iron, nice work Pete. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome! I love working on old tractors.
How cool is that? I love the old stuff, probably because I am old stuff. Thanks Pete.
Old Tractors are like old People. They get turned on in different ways. 😂😂. I love the old videos just as much as the new ones. You just happen to be Raking Hay in today’s video. Too bad this old Girl didn’t get to shine on that bumpy field. Love it!! 💯❤️
It’s always a great day when I can spend it here with you, I get giddy when I see your notifications! Thank you Pete for keeping history alive and teaching me new stuff all the time, I love your content. Stay safe and stay well! God bless you and your family! And God bless your farm!!!
Hi Michael, I get giddy on premier day too as I watch how the latest video is doing. Thank you so much for watching!
Love the old tractor Keep up the good work
I enjoyed the video very much...mechanically speaking history needs to be preserved. Happy New Year to you and the family well done.
Good video and good for you for keeping it going
Nice presentation. Thank you!
Pete I learn so much from your channel thank you
I just had to back and review this. I noted your dusty MD sitting in the shed next to it and I think fondly on how far you have come. We finally hit 60° here today. Take care.
I really enjoy your channel, keep up the good work.
That old tractor sounds so good!
How cool is this !! Love it !
I found this vid looking up info on the old tractors my dad's family had when he was younger on their farm (outside of Elmira, NY) and saw you're in Lansing!
My dad's family had two of these - one with steel wheels and one with rubber wheels they kept running into the late 70s, though by that time they were mostly used for belt power. I'm more into the fuzzy tractors myself, but I can appreciate a nice old piece of hardware. Listen to that engine!
Wow that should be a museum. You could clean it up and paint it and charge people to come look at all your cool old tractors. My Late Father told me when he was a kid he went to the N.C. state fair and they had a tractor breaking land against a team of mules and he said the team of mules won the contest but he said it wasn’t many years before the tractor was king. Hard to believe a pair of mules could beat out that tractor. I am sure they had some in the early 50s that out classed the mules.
Great video, thank you for sharing
I like the tractor and your channel. Thank you
Right on that is an amazing tractor
You answered my question Mr. Pete. My uncle had a 1926 Fordson that started on gas then switched to kerosene, the only non Farmall tractor my family ever had. He said it could be a beast to crank and use!
Looks like a big job to me Pete. Glad ur doing it well you can have it lol
Great instructions on starting the "old girl".
The old MD in the background looks different now! I am still working on watching some of these older ones.
Multi disk clutch...I've worked on several. Helped rebuild them for a regular. Helping a buddy with another set as well. Fortunately I own a factory tool set to do the work with.
That's cool nice running
Bada bing bada boom.
Sweet history right there !
Absolutely amazing
Love this video. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome Bob!
...love that sound...
Nice video. Growing up I remember we had a McCormick-Deering Tractor. I have been trying to figure out what model it was. I suspect something like a 15-30.
It was definitely bigger than the 10-20.
I recall the throttle and spark-advance were two paddles that had a little wash-board arc that they clicked against
The engine required priming. As far as I remember it always ran on gasoline.
It was mounted on rubber. The drive wheels were probably 18 in wide. The steers took a 15inch auto tire. The front wheels were discs and needed to be disassembled to change the tire.
A definite "feature" was the exhaust. I recall a piece of 3-inch diameter galvanized pipe was screwed into the manifold. It It stuck out about 2 ft.
It had magneto ignition but I don't recall any settings for starting
I suspect it was built in the mid-to late 30s.
What dou you thinK>
Thanks!
Sounds like the 15-30 or a later rated 22-36. My grandfather had a 22-36 and it had the throttle and spark advance on the steering column. I loved that tractor.
Awesome stuff!!!!
Thanks!
hi pete.thank you for the vidieo.
Gotta love the old iron.
great old tractor
great vid
Found this old video. The old McCormick is a familiar machine too bad I had no time or interest back in the day to learn all the fine details of this machine. My mind was more on other things then paying attention to old machines. Now that im getting older I hate to admit this but: learn while you can until they disappear for good from this world.
Nice running 10-20. That tractor was new the year my Dad was born......Pretty cool!?,
Love this video. Thanks for sharing. We have a 10-20 on our farm that my grandparents bought used for $500 in 1945. It’s a 1939 one of the last ones built. We also have a 1939 Farmall H that my dad bought at a auction as well.
I didn’t realize that you needed to set the mag on the 10-20. We always had a heck of a time trying to start it now I see what we had been doing wrong all those times.
Thanks again for sharing.
The magneto model was changed during production of the 10-20. Early ones like mine had an E4A with a manually set impulse coupling. Later ones like yours had an F4 magneto with an automatic impulse, so there was no need to set it.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm thanks for the update. I had never known that. I’ll have to check and see if the magneto is original. I believe it was changed shortly after grandpa got it. But this will give me an idea of what the differences are and what to look for. Thanks again. Love the content and the help!
The brake system on the clutch of what you're talkin about is called a clutch brake they're really on 18
wheelers
Love you dude.
Your collection of Farmall's is awesome! Be sweet to rake hay with that 10-20! Make a video of it!
I would never have believed that you were an architect the way you know your engines.
I did the same thing with jb weld and I had nothing but problems try (seal all).. you can get it at your local parts stores that comes in yellow tube you can also apply seal all you as gas is leaking out
Found it interesting that kerosene is referred to as distillate when used in tractors in the USA, here in Ireland we would have had a fergeson 20 that ran on "distillate" however we referred to it as a fergeson tvo , which stood for Tractor Vaporising Oil , nice tractor tho don't have many of these over here 👍
great video!
Thanks!
I love old rusty tractor's.
she does sound good!!!
Brings back memories of the 10-20 my dad used for filling silo back in the early 60's.It was last used in October 1965 then driven into his machine shed and parked where it still sits today.The shed is collapsing and I need to get the tractor, my 1966 Cyclone GT muscle car and a treasure trove of antiques out before the building completely caves in. I'd like to see the tractor run again but my older sister who inherited a 50% interest in it forbids me from restoring it.She's an idiot.
Show!! Parabéns! Também gosto muito de tratores antigos , temos um Massey ferguson 50X 1975 é um Ford 4600 ,1977.
Obrigado pelo vídeo!
you are so inspiring
Fantastic
good to see the old girl out and about
Hi Jacques, it was great to hear her run again!
Happy 100th birthday!
that was fun
Thanks 👍
that was so kewl
Strange isn't it how some engines sound great revving like mad - others sound better running as slow as possible! There's one of these for sale nearby in County Donegal - Ireland, Might go and have a look at it. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Martin, that is the truth! Amazing there's still quite a few of these around, considering their age. They were well built.
I know you are well past this at this point, Pete, but back when I was racing (and I had no idea how close you are to Watkins Glen in the Finger Lakes area) but I will admit to having really good luck with JB Weld on modified fuel intake risers under Weber Carb's. I raced super exotic stuff (Mk 1 Ford Fiesta) and at that time, the best carb. I could find on my budget, required rotating it 90 degrees which meant some kind of offset plate. German made Ford Capri's had one but required some machining and then filling some of the vacuum orifices with JB. This was exposed to both heat and race fuel and I never had to revisit that work in 30 years of owning that car. In fact, I used JB instead of brazing, to build up a cross shaft in my 8n that the clutch pedal and left side brake uses. So far, so good on that one. I am a little surprised you experienced what looked like delaminiation on that tank. I used some of that Redcoat tank sealer years ago on projects like an Allis C with mixed results. Seems like it prone to pooling and then that section struggles to cure correctly. Then I get the sense the stuff migrates into your fuel lines, etc. Anyway, my 2 cents. Take care!
Hi Chris, I was surprised it did that too. I've had great success with JB Weld for other things. It only delaminated on the side of the tank facing the engine, so I surmised it must be the heat. I went away from using tank liners after doing a few because of the reasons you mention, and now just use acid to get the rust out. We live about an hour from Watkins Glen. I saw a few races there when I was a kid.
The D John Deere was built from 1923 till 1953, the last 92 wer assembled in the street by the Waterloo plant
"watch Jr go" CZcams channel got one of these 1020 tractors going that had been locked up on a hill for years. Theirs is a 1929 model.
love to see you run that tractor maybe you could use it to pull in wood in the winter
Love it, even though it’s not green
A dad joke for you: When you drive by a farm field and the cows are laying down you need to go home and sleep because it’s pasture bed time.
