Goofing Off & Getting Work Done 

My son and I worked with our neighbor to fix his old tractors until he died a few years ago. We enjoyed watching the old iron come alive again.

Oh my word, I was cracking up from the Justin Rhodes comment through the apron's cremation. Well done, Pete!

Love the channel, so hang in there! Yes, it is not a great feeling when someone has a discouraging comment about your passion. But I hope you let it go and remember that most of us are behind you! And I can tell from this episode that you know that; pig soccer & soldier’s funeral for the apron were hilarious!

You are so knowledgeable, down to earth and honest. I enjoy the videos just to listen to you, I don't really care what you're doing. Lol! God Bless!

Love the funeral respect for the old gear ! To funny 😂

Thank you for taking me back to my younger days.. I used to help my dad work in the garage on tractors..farm equipment..farm trucks.. regular vehicles.. I learned so much helping him.. I really enjoyed it.. You are doing a great job!!

Don’t change a thing in your videos. I am learning a lot, including some interesting🤔 jokes. Your channel is one of my favorites. You will always have a few naysayers, but the majority of us value your stories!

I love old tractors! Great video! We have a 1949 Farmall H we are working on.

Pete you’re a talented man. Can’t wait to see the MD done! Gonna be awesome!

That’s cool you do all this painting yourself !

Another great video from Pete thank you

I am not going to quit restoring my 1963, International Farmall Tractor. I am finishing the teardown and starting the cleanup. up of all the parts. I am a little bit older than you are and my hands do not like to work the way they are supposed to. I am inspired by the way tell a story as you are working. you do a great job of cleaning. I take it one day at a time.

Thanks so for your efforts documenting farm life and the DIY mechanical work; and the ingenuity involved that is very difficult to teach without doing or at least seeing!!

Really enjoy you & your channel. Can't exactly figure out why...i don't have a tractor. Do enjoy your sense of humor immensely. Stay warm! 😁🐒🐔

I enjoy the cleanup and refurbishment, it's a necessary step too. Personally, I really enjoy the series. This is getting really exciting with reassembly and paint! Thanks Pete!

We really enjoy these videos, excellent mentorship, fatherly type advice, hard work and live for what you do. Love the dad jokes like everyone else. Best if luck staying warm and THANK YOU....

You are a very good example o've how to be a self sustaining farmer....Regards...

Thanks Pete We had an MD on our farm in Adams County PA There were many days spent plowing with a 3 bottom disc plow. It does my heart good to see you tearing down your MD and seeing what they are made of. Keep up the good work I will be watching and looking toward the completion of your worthwhile project

Couple days late didn’t get to finish this video the day it came out been busy here in the Midwest just like you with -0 weather waters all frozen all the time goats kidding pigs farrowing love this weather I don’t know why it always reminds me of when I was a kid out on the farm great video almost on the down hill of the md

We used to hang a milk jug just off the floor for our show pigs to play with. Great video

Hi Pete. I really really enjoy your videos. I too am a small scale farmer in Sweden and RU-vidr so watching your videos and following your life on your farm is very inspiring and rewarding for me. On the subject of ‘doing things wrong’ I can really relate. With no farming background myself I have to learn everything from scratch. I used to be worried about what others though and their opinions on my mistakes. Now I’ve learned to see my mistakes as a strength and sort of a gift that I’m giving to others. What inspires me more that doing something ‘right’ is the thought that by just showing myself doing something I might help someone else believe that they too can try for themselves. I know it’s happened to me watching your and others videos. It’s an empowering thing to show others that making mistakes is part of it, because often it’s just that which keeps us from believing we can and start doing what we love. Keep em videos coming! Loving every minute! 👍❤️

Got a good wife, to help you like she does. Just a bit of simple advice. I didn't see you put blocks around those wheels, just in case it decided to shift when it gets bumped. If they are there, ignore this, please. Glad to see the progress you're making. I watch every tractor restoration video you put up.

Awesome! I am very much enjoying the videos. It really reminds me of working on the farm... helping my Dad as a kid. I fondly remember the tear down and rebuild of a 40s era John Deere A! I know...you don't care for the Green Machines! Thanks again, ignore the nay sayers, and doing things your way!

I'm first year farming with a tractor. And this is awesome knowledge your sharing. It's helping keep my farm going. Cause the little Farmall does a lot of good. Just got 60 something orchard trees in the ground in Florida.. thank you for sharing

Great content Pete

Good video Pete. It's a cold day here and I just put in a fire. Sit back, let it catch, and watch A Few Acres... happy.

Ok, enough is enough... Time to get some work done! Ha ha ha! Just kidding bud. Keep on keeping on - you do you AND what works for you, and we will keep watching! Looking forward to hearing that MD crank up for the first time!

Nice job soldering the radiator. I am afraid my luck doesn't run from the same cup as yours! I always have to take my radiator rebuilds to the shop so a professional can do it for me! LOL Cheers! Whipple

Number one show every day, looking forward to the next one .

You’re awesome! I enjoy your videos! You are living my dream. I am setting up to live my retirement years the same way. Thank you 🇺🇸❤️

Another great video!

Squatch is the MAN when it come to restorations. Any kind words from him were well earned. Keep up the good work. See if you can develop an eye twitch like Squatch253 LOL.

another great video. Thanks

Pete, this is my dream to have a small farm and some tractors. Thank you so much for making these videos.

Sweet apron! Good on them for sending it.

I'm looking forward to seeing it back in its glory letting out a big of diesel soot like it would have in its day

Great video, great content.. 💯👌👍💯

When I restored the MF35 I got overwhelmed, not by that as much as I was still busy farming...there was almost two years I didn't work on it after I started building the engine. When I put my mind to it, it really was enjoyable and it turned out great. I am enjoying your tractor project, thanks for the videos. BTW, I found good water temp. gages at my local parts house. I was surprised the quality...

It’s great to see you having fun and still getting work done. I’m just on the other side of the border from you (Pennsylvania) and yes we have been dumped with snow this year. I enjoy both the farm work as well as the mechanical work you do. It actually helps me on my farm.

Thanks 😊

Loved the burning of the apron

Love 💘 your videos 📹 keep it up buddy 👍

You make great videos! I had an uncle that was meticulous and could fix anything like you! Enjoy watching!

Looking good Pete.

Evan over at Country View Acres gave you a shout out. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. God bless.

We’d make a good team, my favorite part is taking it apart and cleaning and painting it all. 😂

Cool video

Congratulations from Greece

An other great video, can’t wait to see it go back together!

My dad put bowling balls in the pig pen to keep them busy.

I wasn't keen on your video's at first but you have grown on me. You are very informative a and I look forward to your vlogs. You're jokes are crap lol. But keep them up. Like to see some paintwork soon.thanks.

Evan from country view acres recommended your channel and I was hooked at soccer ball

LOL I never noticed how bad your old apron was until you put on the new one!!

Brother, you got some skills with that soldering. That’s a lot harder then it looks.

HEY!! Wait a second,.... No "Run, run,run,run,....!!!!!

lol- taps for the apron

a Farmer must be able to do lots o've tasks and be able to maintain his equipment on the farm and you're proof that it can be done....

It is really silly when the pigs played football

Hey Pete - love your content! So informative from taxes - schedule F - to breed history = tractor restoration, etc!! You had a great video pontificating on the value of a farmers market to NOT undervalue the product, I have been researching a lot about this online and found a couple of options that may supersede the Farmer's market; Barn2Door and MeatSuite. You probably already know of these sites and have done a video that I missed due to timing but if you have not maybe that is an option to market the animals and get advanced funding on the final product. Good luck and thank you for the content. Kelly

Good video !!

The cremation ceremony 😂😆🤣

That soccer ball took the tension out of the oinkers. Is the ball plastic, pig skin or rubber? There was no goalies and thus, flat.

You and another RU-vidr Squatch 253 would get along great you guys have similar work ethics love the videos buddy thanks for everything

Hillary is the best!

I really want to try some pork that isn’t injected with pink slime.

What does Hillary do in the winter when everything slows down, does she have a hobby ?

Justin Rhodes! Does he still have that bus?

Nothing like eating lunch and watching pigs Playing Foot-ball.

Hey top of the morning Pete. Heard about your channel from country view acres. Look forward to seeing more. I just subscribed and set my alert. Terry lucky charm acres Catskills NY. No channel just a small farm

Have you considered raising pure breed yorkshire hogs which is known to be the most lean meat of any breed

Better, please keep the farm stuff in all videos.

Have a new soccer ball made from pig skin. Revenge !! And, munch on bacon while playing with the new soccer ball. Life is good. Slick new apron there Pete. Now, you need a fancy new hat to go with it.

Hi Pete this morning I did something a little different. I added the theme from little house on the prairie at the start of your show. Just something to amuse my self. I must say your episodes though, are better because there real honest good work, nothing made up just doing it. The pigs there fun allways curious as well are cattle fun to raise chickens as well. An ideal has come to mind that you might be interested in but I don't want to say publicly. Was thinking call you maybe email you about it if that's okay? Have great day thankyou.

Pete, what do you do with all the hardware , the nuts, bolts,,clips, etc. Do yoclean them or use new ones, and when do you get those painted . Thanks

You have got a good wife just like I have always there you she works for the Ambulance i.e H.h.s. Here is England Great Britain and looks after me as I am going through cancer but she is always there please let me know if you can cos it would make my day that you have read my text mate I am a 57 year old man and love watching your videos and oh are both great at what you do all the best for know and the future.

We gave pigs a bowling ball.

Just thought of this, the bigger the rope, the easer the push. 😂

Pete good job nice to see a old md back to life, live it. I been trying to restore a 730 diesel comfort King, kind of wonder if I would RU-vid it too would any one be interested

Feeding the algorithm.

Maybe an old bowling ball for the little monsters to push around? Pretty sure they couldn't flatten one of those 🤷🏻‍♂️

She's coming along real nice Pete, but I think your moment of truth for that radiator will come when you get it filled and up to operating temp/pressure. :) It's a shame they don't put copper radiators and heather cores in vehicles any more. My current truck has busted 3 heater cores (the original and two that I replaced) and needs it's 4th right now. It's time to say bye bye to this truck.

U da man!

hi how are you doing

Another great video! Please forgive my ignorance, but what does the flux do?

"Wilson"

Pete my friend I believe you lost it on the apron thing buddy.Are you sure you dont need time off ?

WILSON! RIP LOL

👍🎉🌭

One of the true Patriots left burns his apron in a salute to mechanics

When you need muscle on the farm, it's always Hillary to the rescue

I burn stuff too. Can't throw things in the trash I'm attached to to end up in a landfill. Would rather watch them be consumed. :-)

You seem in better spirits this time. That’s what a little goofing does to you. Got to have fun sometimes

When you take the pigs to the butcher remind them of the soccer ball incident.

An old bowling ball is what I used for my pigs, and it won't pop and it last longer then one batch of pigs.

It pains me to see old tractors like the MD sitting derelict and rotten in a field forgotten, they are what made modern farming in America what it is today. They deserve a second chance so I’m glad to see you’re preserving history even if it’s one tractor at a time.

You’re doing a great service for the do-it-yourself farm mechanics Pete! Even if it’s not the same machine they’re working on, the process you’re laying out is superb.

Enjoying your tractor restoration videos. Just one small project at a time.

You are the "Andy Rooney " of tractor restoration!!

Pete you're the man with your video sequencing. I love the farming and animals, but the tractor restoration is a great winter change of pace. Can't wait to see the front half complete.

First also have a good day and week and month and year and decade and sentry
