Painting Begins | Farmall 856 Restoration Episode 12 

Gonna look great! Daily chores + drainage field + tractor painting (+ video making/editing)…..you’ve been busy!! Thanks for sharing your projects with us!

Sunday. Watching paint dry with Pete. Doesn't get much better.

Absolutely, amazing you're Pete. Thank you much for taking us along while you paint your Farmall 856. I can't wait until you put it all together and turn the key!!!!🤗

Pete, your skill set is absolutely remarkable. I have never seen a person who knows how to solve so many problems in so many seemingly unrelated topics.

Paint time with Pete ! Sunday morning breakfast...... and a show !! Priceless !! 😊😊

While it is Sunday morning and I am not sitting in church watching you paint a tractor is somewhat of a Spiritual experience. God Bless you Pete and Hillary!

This Man is Brilliant at everything he does. Wish I could do a third of what he makes look so easy and second nature.

You are the Michaelangelo of tractor painting, and I think Squatch & Co. will be duly impressed with your masterpiece.

As always, she looks beautiful Pete! I just spent 20 minutes watching the best farmer on RU-vid paint a tractor. And I would do it all over again! I wish the gentleman who sold it to you could see her now!

Pete you are so awesome!! Just the meticulous way you go about things, plus your knowledge.

It's Sunday morning and I'm watching an old friend paint his tractor. What could be better!

Nice to see u work on the tractor again Pete.i love ure work on them.

Looking great, Pete… and you have the satisfaction of knowing what’s underneath all that cast iron and paint, as opposed to someone who buys an old tractor that has been “rebuilt with paint”…thanks, Pete!

Other than giving birth to a child I don't believe there is anything Pete can not do! Awesome job with the painting. It looks fantastic!!!

Hi Pete, the musical arrangement, perfect. Greetings from good old Germany

Always appreciate your practical explanations of things that can get complicated or overly detailed. You seem to know where to draw the line. It's really helpful.

There is nothing quite as BEAUTIFUL as fresh International Harvester red paint. Pete, it looks great!

Looks great, Pete. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Your work is much appreciated.

Good morning Pete !!! Yes friends…..we have reached yet another milestone here at Just A Few Acres !!!! Paint looks great !!!

Brings back memories of watching my grandfather paint cars in his autobody shop in the 1960's. Used to watch him work with lead sticks to fill panels...that was an art back in the day.

Thank you for sharing the painting of your tractor Pete. When you speed up the video and add music it looks like you're dancing. You were really cutting a rug. Lol. The tractor looks amazing. Truly does.

Munch munch watching your combine pull in all that beautiful oats now on a cold nasty day you get to listen to your stock munch that good grain you harvested what a satisfying feeling that is

My goodness, Pete, your music selections have been smokin' lately! Love it!

Pete when I sit and watch any of your videos I swear it just like watching my grandpa work you go at a nice and easy pace on anything you do, but unfortunately we just lost him yesterday afternoon from pancreatic cancer and a list of other illnesses if you guys could’ve met it would’ve been like talking in a mirror anyway I hope you continue making videos for years to come and I hope to watch your farm grow and change with the time thanks for everything

I've been watching your show for over a year. I love your calm demeanor and the way you get things done. Our government needs more farmers. You would get my vote. This Minnesota boys, a big fan of yours.

Been waiting for you to get back to the 856 - great tractors - lots of good memories! Keep on keepin" on Pete - do not pay attention to the negative people. Lots of good folks enjoy your efforts!!@

Work of art right there. Thanks for the surprise! That's going to be a beautiful tractor when you're done. Thanks Pete.

Well it looks red to me. There will always be that one guy or a small group of you know who's. Even if it's NEXT fall, I'll still be here. You are once again, doing an absolutely amazing job. I expected nothing less.

About time you painted that tractor Pete…..you are the best channel on RU-vid with the way you explain, you’re a great teacher and from across the pond here in Wales you are great ambassador for the states as what we see on the news is always all the negative crap the news channels seem to focus on. Keep it up and a big thank you

Very good job Pete. It's amazing how far paint has come along in the last 20-30 years. It gives the home painters such a professional look. Very nice.

Mr.Pete,you make it look easy.Great work.Good looking paint job.

Your knowledge, skills and patience amaze me. These restoration videos are my favorite Unfortunately I lack the knowledge, skills and patience to do this kind of work myself so I let you do it Pete and it comes out perfect every time.

Looking good can’t wait to see the final product and see it in the field working

Pete, Can't wait to see the finished refurbishment of the 856. I love watching you restoring these tractors that you own. Keep doing the amazing work you do. Wish there was a way to give you more than 1 thumbs up with your restorations.

Color looks good to me. The enthusiasm that you have for taking your tractors apart and rebuilding them inspired me to take apart an old mechanic vise, my grandfather had, that wasn’t working and rebuild it. I know it’s not a tractor but it is a start. Thanks

Now are Sunday morning will be complete. Pete… thank you for your videos. My wife and I look forward to Sunday mornings. It is our ritual. Have a blessed week.

Pete your tractor is starting to look good. Thanks for showing us what your doing with the tractor.

Another awesome job Pete, Tractor is coming out beautiful!

Pete you do a beautiful job with all your repairing and repainting!

Thumbs up from 🇬🇧 UK

Hey Pete, It's looking really good. If my wife caught me using one of her measuring cups for paint, I'd be a dead man! Always enjoy your videos.

Great to see work on the 856 again! One step closer to running it out in the fields!

Nice to see the IH 856 coming together. The paint work looks amazing.

Another great video Pete. The tractor looks great. Can't wait for winter tractor rebuilding season. See you next week

Petes moving different in this one. what a great video. i love your humor old buddy and i cannot wait to see this tractor complete

Always enjoy the tractor restoration videos and this is no exception. My 1955 Chevy was shot with PPG one-stage urethane paint several years ago. I really like it! You are such a perfectionist in everything you do. I was also glad to see that the drainage system you laid in the winter pasture is working just as it is supposed to do. Very glad to see that all is well on the Larson farm! Anxious to see the 856 finished.

Paint always gives a lot of joy, almost as much as a first start.

It’s going to be epic to see this tractor working on the farm!

Pete, that tractor looks fantastic, thanks for another great video!

Work of art! Work of love! And diggin' the music, Pete! Nice addition to your videos.

Go Big Red! It is great to see the 850 red again. Thanks for bringing us along with you.

Incredible job. Enjoy watching someone who truly enjoys what they are doing and that takes the time to do it right.

An enjoyable experience observing Pete in his HAPPY PLACE. 👍👍👍

Love your channel, Pete. You're one of my favorites. Tractor looks great so far.

Extraordinary..to entertain and educate simultaneously is a gift..many many thanks and congratulations

Good day to all. Man, it's kinda cool and peaceful , zinish.

Another job well done. Pete you are amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Your tractor restoration videos are a fantastic resource. I was able to rebuild my lift-all pump on my M following your video on the MD lift-all rebuild. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

You do an excellent job of teaching, don’t stop and keep doing what you’re good at that’s a little bit of everything the world needs you in more ways than you can imagine. 😊

Pete, you do an excellent job of painting tractors. I appreciated the detailed looks that you gave after the second coat. They really showed how you nailed every nook and cranny. Not work I enjoy, but I certainly enjoy seeing somebody do it well.

Loved seeing the painting process. So many times, that part is left out of other projects I have seen on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing this and everything else you do around the farm. And thanks to Hilarie as well. She is the perfect farm wife and helper.

Another awesome painting video. You do such a beautiful job explaining everything you do. Can’t wait to see the finished 856.👍

Hi Pete! I have painted 2 vehicles in my life. there is NOTHING more rewarding than painting a vehicle!!!!

You're so normal ,thanks for no drama morning,I feel so relaxed now

Looks great Pete, it's nice just watching folks do projects the way they think they should be done.

Beautiful! I love the way the paint feels when dry. So satisfying!

The 856 is coming along nicely!!

You are doing a wonderful job making that thing look new again. beautiful tractor

Thank you Pete. Took me back to days of my Dad in his body shop. Your videos are a blessing to all of us!!

Color looks great Pete. Looks great!!

Thought I had a cricket in my house until I paused the video. Thank you so much, Pete, for bringing us into your operation!

Awesome video Pete! Can’t wait for the next one!

No matter what color it turns out to be it's gorgeous!!

Love the tractor stuff Pete! Mind boggling how you remember how to put it back together

Thank you, it was nice waking up and seeing you had a video out.

Always like your tractor restoration videos

Hey Pete, it's always so interesting to watch when your working on the tractors. Even though I don't ever think I'll own a tractor one day, but it's still interesting nevertheless. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to make the videos we all enjoy.

I know absolutely nothing about engines, but from what I've seen you do on this project, it takes huge amounts of knowledge and patience to get it done right.

Gorgeous! Can’t wait to see it all come together.

Pete, I've been waiting for this day! The prep and painting looks great. Thank you for sharing the details. Congratulations.

Lookin' GOOD there Pete! She's gonna be a doll when you're all done. God bless you, my friend. I was waiting for Ezra to come into the shop and hop up on the tractor in mid-painting to "cat scan" your work.

Of course pete we love it !! U do ur thang on ur timeline..... "we'll be here, for ya" !!!

such an excellent finish pete i can feel your pleasure she is looking beautiful you are doing her proud!

Beautiful work. Thanks Pete.

Knowing how well you did with the Super C, the 856 is going to be amazing..... Can't wait to see the finished product.

What an amazing job to have behind you! Clearly painting a contraption like that is a very challenging project. It would be very easy to get lost in that 2nd coat and wind up with under/over painted areas. That 856 is gonna be one handsome machine... I enjoy learning about your efficient use of time and how you exploit the weather conditions for the best results. Any good farmer would have to have excellent time management skills, and you're no exception!

There's something about the colour red. Everything looks better when it's red. Very satisfying watching the painting being done. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.

That 856 is going to look fantastic. Can't wait🫸🫷

Well, I guess I can't ever use the "about as exciting as watching paint dry" analogy again....I just sat and watched this whole video watching paint drying. Ha! Love the vids and work, Pete! Thanks for taking the time to share.

Pete enjoyed your video with my coffee this morning. I like the shirt you were wearing when you started the video, “Go Ducks”. Have a great rest of your weekend. The paint job looks awesome. Great job!! Thank you.

Boy pete! You can sure tell you love what you do!! You put your all into it..lovingly...in all you do..iv seen a few of your finished tracters in the past 😊..awsome to watch..thank you!

Awesome job Pete. Thanks again for another enjoyable Sunday morning.

Watched you take this apart and clean it and all the episodes up to now. Seeing it all gray or red really shows how big this equipment is. The years of evolution from small tractors to this just boggles the mind. You have different companies making competing equipment down to the people that use them and are so loyal to their brand. What I see is a beautiful work of art sitting there being painted. Can’t wait to see it all back together

You are amazing how you know what every part does. I watched you for a while and have seen you paint and restore a lot of trackers, simply amazing .

I’m fascinated watching what you are able to do mechanically and your knowledge of all these tractors. I have my dads kubota tractor and would love to find someone in Mississippi that could restore the body. I appreciate you and Hillary sharing your life and chores with me.

Mr Pete your videos bring me so much joy and entertainment. I am truly appreciative of your content and the life you live.

Good morning Pete watching you paint this big red tractor takes me back about 10 years when I did my Farmall 300 and like you I took and assembled a lot of it the big parts when I painted it it made a lot easier than putting all them small pieces out there and paintingthat was my favorite Tractor I took it when I was finished and put it in a parade parade man came over and bought it. I took it back home paid me and he took it to his house from mine Tractor, but it’s painting you’ve done all the work to to make them look so new you’ve done great I love you. Have a good day.

I don't know why watching this video gave me such pleasure, Pete! You may have missed another calling -- cinematography! Thanks for taking the time to get many different camera positions. This was a pure delight. Evelyn in Minnesota

Thanks for all your videos Pete.

Nice way to start a Sunday morning on my end. Enjoy your week.
