Repairing the Farmall Super C Hydraulic Pump and Applying Manure Spreader Decals 

The point of "just a manure spreader" is certainly accurate, and you cannot make a case that they add any functionality, but the decals really make the spreader look right and good! Very nice touch as usual.

That's the trouble with this world, Nobody wants to go through all that riggamarrow any more, but back in my day my Dad was the riggamorrow king!

For the record, I really enjoy watching you rebuilding and repairing your farm equipment and tractors. I guess maybe because it reminds me of my father, who was never afraid or timid to tackle any repair job around our house or on his cars. Thank you for your channel, I enjoy it very much regardless of the task!

The manure spreader looks great. Being a former hog farmer I can appreciate the effort put into your work. Very nice job.

Thank you for taking the time to tell about how the hydraulic system works. I also appreciate you taking us along for the joy ride.

Wow Pete, farmers are really "a jack of all trades". Mechanic, engineer, painter and so on. Your skills are amazing, and I enjoy watching and listening to you explain how each task is accomplished. Thanks!

I would Never get that pump back together! At 71, I still pray for Patience

We tried your steaks a couple nights ago, just the steaks, no sides, they were humongous!! Honestly one of the best sirloin steaks I’ve ever had. Probably would have been way better on charcoal. Thank you Pete for feeding our family food for the soul, you can taste the care you put into your animals

Pete, I think that you were always meant to be a farmer. Farmers are so resourceful, and you are certainly that! I really enjoy my time with you.

Pete, thanks for being able to look over your shoulder. Your professional, patient, and detailed approach to these very difficult tasks is an inspiration.

Very happy to hear that there is an upcoming restoration.

Thanks for taking the time to put out another great video! Spreader looks amazing. Always enjoy the rebuilds…great background in the IH pumps. Looking forward to the big project!

Hi Pete I believe the pre wetting does not activate the adhesive rather it just makes them easier to position. This stops the non intended sticking during placement. Hi from Australia.

Man that super C sounds great !!! Surprising how well it runs, has no trouble in road gear. So nice to see a Farmall going down the road without having to move the steering wheel hardly at all !!! Spreader turned out much better than most would expect. As much as you use it in the spring, this year should be trouble free, & operate like new. Going to be hard for me to watch that first bucket go in there, BUT …. You bought it to use…… Quick power wash & good as ever. Congrats on getting the pump repaired, getting parts seems to always be a frustration at times.

Good morning it the Nov 28 in Kitchener Ont Canada and have the first snow .Sit that 9 f outside I hope you with have a good day .Just to tell that mom get up to see you a little 89 year old. Thank you for all the happy you do for her.

Can't wait for your restoration.

A little bit of love and some elbow grease is all it takes! Oh. Let’s not forget the hours of research put in to figure it all out. Amazing job on both the spreader and the super c. The lesson is it doesn’t have to be perfect, I think!

I do enjoy all of your videos. These R and R videos remind me of time spent watching my Dad. Like you Pete he was able to fix practically anything and encouraged his 3 daughters to help. I enjoyed the time spent with him. He’s gone now but these are great memories. Thank you for the wonderful videos.

Thank you for putting on the New Holland decals Pete. It looks like Beautiful craftsmanship and farm artwork. Be very proud of your great work!

Driving your super C brings back memories of driving my grandfather’s 230.

My 4 year old son was so excited to see your new video this morning. He loves watching you fix the tractors. One of his favs is watching you plow snow with the tractor. He wants one himself. 😆 great video as always, love how the manure spreader turned out! Always fun to watch “farm show” as my son says. 😊 God bless

Pete you are the Farmall tractor whisperer.Love watching you work .

A brilliant job with the manure spreader 😉. Will be a shame to see it get filthy again😢. But as you said it is only a speader 👍. Great videos keep it up😀. From the uk.

Be out in Ithaca tomorrow bringing dog to vet office across from Triphammer Mall tomorrow, I will have to go into town and get something to eat and do a little shopping as I will have to wait for the dog to wake up from treatment.

That's what I love about Pete's channel, he rebuilds & repaints the equipment we all got to see prior to it's beautiful makeover. It's going to be very fun to see the tractor & newly painted spreader in the field.

You should add a "The Circle Of Life" sticker on the manure spreader somewhere.

Great Job Mr. Pete! youv'e just trippled the value and life of that M spreader. Nice job!!

Great job Pete, that shit slinger sure looks Purdy. Wasn't sure about those 50 yr. old square O'rings, but fantastic recovery. Looking forward to the shop rebuild.👍👍💚

You really did an awesome job completing all your fall projects!

I must say that was very kind of Sophie to send you those tractor parts all the way from Bulgaria.

@29:56 Patty is on her game! Ready to complain as soon as Pete turns off that tractor! Pete ...Patty wants new grass to eat...LOL

Cliff hanger. That was great. Pete nice to see how you solve problems with parts. I'm sure it will help someone out in the farming community.

Hey Pete, it's getting cold here in Wisconsin as well. 5 degrees right now. No heat in my shop so I'll wait for the sun to warm things up. Rebuilding old equipment with the intent of them going back to work can be quite the challenge. I'm so disappointed with the remanufactured and after market parts I've been buying. It seems many of them are just supposed to be bolted on and not actually worked. My most recent project has been the worst. Two radiators, two water pumps, three fuel pumps, two carburetors and valve lifters that go flat when sitting overnight. Doing something the first time is satisfying. The second, not so much. My next big hurdle is that the last real parts guy is retiring first of the year. The rest are nice fellows but can only follow the computer prompts. I'm not ready to go the way of the dinosaurs so I'll just continue on having fun getting greasy! Thanks for all the real world videos.

The super C pump rebuild and discussion of parts availability is such a wonderful learning lesson for all of us to learn from. The journey is bitter sweet.

That manure spreader 👀 looks better than new I always like the look 👀 of those old farmalls with that bright red paint along with the new Holland equipment that bright snow with a full moon at night it that red paint really stands out really enjoy watching you bring that old rusty stuff back looking 👀 like new again thanks for taking us viewers along

You did an excellent job on your manure spreader. I bet it feels good to have your machinery working well and looking good. Your instructions re decals installation are so helpful for anyone who is doing such stuff. That is why your channel, no matter what anybody might say to the contrary (jealous people), is as much a public service as it is very enjoyable. Thank you. Marcel from Saskatchewan.

I remember that method for decals from a long time ago. Still looks nice.

Good day to all.

Peter you are a good mechanic, I really enjoy you tractor videos just us much as I enjoy the farming email. I am restoring a 1960 and a 1971 Volvo your videos are such .inspiration. Thank you.

The “Just a manure” spreader looks really good. It’s the small details.

Boy, those red tractors sure look pretty all lined up in the 'new' machine barn! Can't wait to see which one is set to join them with the winter project!

You always do a very nice job with your projects! I really like how you explain things as you are working. Thank you for sharing it with us Pete!

nice job Pete

Good job Pete! Thanks for the tutoring and info. Your pump research was interesting for sure. But, you figured it out. What a fine looking Super C you have now! That empty corn field reminds me of a line from James Whitcomb Riley poem, "When the Frost is on the Punk'in", "The stubbles in the furies kinda lonesome like but still, a preachin sermons to us of the barns they growed to fill."

Ah.... A cliffhanger from Pete, I love it. That hydraulic pump was more complicated than the one on my old super a about 30 years ago I found the oil over full and didn't know what was wrong, so I went to my I-H dealer and he said to pull the pump off and bring it to him. He split it on the counter picked the shaft o ring popped a new one in and charged me a couple of bucks. Been fine ever since. I sure miss him and having parts 5 miles away.

Appreciate your repair and rebuild series. Sets you apart from other U Tube farming channels.

The spreader turned out great! I like your o- ring rejuvenation action. I was taken aback that it does that!

I love the way the C123 sounds without a muffler. It’s like a WW2 airplane to me. I am in the process of restoring my dad’s super c and I think I am going to straight pipe it.

Thank you Pete, I especially enhoy your videos where you work on something quite technical like hydraulic pumps. Looking for a belly pump for my H one of these days, will refer to your video on that one when I find one. Manure spreader looks mint too! Great work! Can't wait to see what is being restored next!

So happy you are back mate and hope you and your family and friends are all doing well mate thanks for sharing your journey and hope you are all doing well God you all ..it’s really nice that you show people how to do it wright mate you have a lot off knowledge I really appreciate it and hope you’re children take it up cos as you know when we are going that’s it as always all the best to you and your family and friends. What an amazing experience and great job you did there mate love it.

Can’t wait for news on the winter project 👍 . But a little request , let’s see what the cows are making of the new winter shed / extension . Always love seeing the cattle 😊

Between your farming style and how it looks, and the restorations, Pete man you are my hero!!

Mr. Pete you're an artist when it comes to restoration. Those decals look like they were put on at the factory. I'd have to look but I think my 140 has that same hydraulic pump.

Reminds me of putting decales on my model cars, planes, boats,pinewood derby cars. The good ole days,late 60s early 70s;time to get out the glue and ester paints🤗 thanks!

Pete those decals finished that project properly looking good

Wow ! The “Ole” olive oil heating trick ! Who would have thought of that ? Maybe in a Farmer’s Almanac ?

The soap and water trick works for "regular" vinyl stickers too. It makes them a little easier to apply and makes larger stickers more forgiving. So, you can used the same trick with other vinyl, especially large stickers. As usual, thanks for the video. Why no blood on your knuckles?

Pete will likely restore the CUB next. It's the only tractor on the channel he hasn't touched mechanically. If you're considering restoring one of the 56-series tractors, Pete, attempting that in a shop as small as yours would be crazy.

Goodness Mr. Pete! That manure spreader looks mighty fine!

No better picture than all that red power sitting together in the shed. 👍

*chef's kiss* Beauty!! Those decals really finish the spreader off!! I hope you're able to find an original hydraulic pump. It would be FAR easier to get parts for one in the future

We had a super C on our farm growing-up, but your tractor looks so much better than ours ever did-ha!

That's a great country road in front of Pete's farm. I've never seen another vehicle on it.

Nothing better than these videos! Done with humility and so great at sharing knowledge.

Pete, I always enjoy your videos with mechanical repairs and restoration. You take care and don’t rush to get things done and do it right. Thank you for taking me along, it’s so enlightening and enjoyable.😊

Can't wait to see what you have in store for us this winter! 👏👏

Pete, your knowledge and experience never cease to amaze me. Great job. I'm looking forward to much more

i know the Bible says not to be envious but i absolutely love all those tractors you have !!! great video Pete

Bet you can't wait for your new shop! No more removing the exhaust pipes, no more bending to get in and out!! Can't wait for that project to start. Maybe you should hold off on your next "restoration" until after the new shop is ready. :-)

Well Pete I am glad you might have your pig problem fixed I love watching them little buggers grow. I love watching your channel your animals are great. Thanks

I saw your neighbor’s “GREEN” tractor sneak into the blog when you went for the short rip. There goes the Neighborhood!! 😱 👍👍

Nice job fixing the hydraulic pump on the Super C too!!.. Sometimes you have to think outside the box in order to get the job done...

Before I studied architecture my vocation was sign painting. Had one of the first computer sign makers using 3M vinyl material. Worked for Paul Newman from ‘78-‘88 applying the graphics to the race cars at Danbury Ct. My favorite was the Planter’s Peanut car which photos can still be found online. Interesting always to see how tractor parts are designed and manufactured. Nice pump job, although I haven’t used olive to cook anything yet that wasn’t food! Can’t wait for the restoration project-hope it is your oldest tractor. Hope you, Hilary and family have great week! And come on let us know when the restoration will start. 😊

You do a very good job of tear down and rebuild and you don’t skip over nothing it’s very nice to watch your videos from start to finish. Keep up the good work I’d like it.

Well Pete, another good video! The New Holland spreader turned out just fine! I'm glad you got the hydraulic pump fixed on the Super C. Great work! Take care of yourself... and Hillary : )

Woster pumps will get you everytime. Good job Pete.

Fastest rebuild I’ve seen you do. You make it look easy.

Pete I love rewatching all of your videos. Thanks

Hey Pete, Nothing says "I AM THIS FARMERS SPREADER" like a New Holland...Cheers from Maine.

Love these fix it projects and the restoration projects!

Now you are ready for the big race, oh wait a minute this is just a poop thrower.

Love the decal details - a New Shop will be so exciting for all of us - but will miss the contortion shots of the old shop ;)

Manure spreader looks great. To bad you're not closer to Michigan. Zatkoff seals and o rings. Walk in and let them know what it is for and let them measure it and if they don't have it, they usually can find them.

Thank you Pete for sharing your world with us. . We learned a lot from watching you .👍👍👍👍👍

I'm not a mechanic, but I enjoy all your videos, your a handy guy to have around,, architecture, carpenter, mechanic, and farmer, be well,

Old Farmall mechanic told me one time pete, when you put those two halves of that pump together after working on it Philip full of 90 weight put it back together and it will pretty much self prime

My favorite part was pulling off the adhesive on the stickers 🤣

❤❤❤❤loved your restoration projects 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Nice video. Looks great, Pete.

Pete, you are amazing, with your mechanical skills and knowledge of those Internationals and "how to" over come problems.

It's really grand that i knew we would go for a joy ride well before we went. LOL

Morning Pete!

That’s one beautiful tractor collection envy puts it in one word. Good day

Those Farmalls sure made a great looking tractor.

A brand new spreader there Pete!

End of a excellent build and another two done. Looking forward to the winter build series

Nice Farmall fleet you've got there. Thanks for sharing those repair/restoration videos

The water/soap solution is to allow you to work out the air bubbles

Pete, the old Super C is such a beauty. And she sounds soooo sweet. And that has to be the prettiest manure spreader I have ever seen. One more thumbs-up for Pete Larson. Thanks, Pete.

I’m looking forward to you building a new shop!! Your life is gonna be so much easier.
