Starting the Super C for the First Time! | Farmall Super C Restoration Episode 21 

Even a Deere guy has to say she looks, starts, and runs fantastic. Well done Sir.

I grew up in a tractor mechanic shop in the 60s and 70s working on vintage tractors like the super C. Watching you restore this beauty really brings back memories. You did a great job and yes that is a lot of work but worth every second in the end. I feel like I should sit by the TV and Waite for Ed Sullivan to come on with a glass of Tang now. LOL

Hey Pete! We love ALL of your videos. Working on equipment, doing chores, or just pontificating. I really wish you wouldn't concern yourself with the negative comments from the peanut gallery. You are an impressive person. Most of the negativity comes from people can only try to down what the capable have created. You just keep doing things the way that YOU want to. We will keep watching. Thanks for what you do. Best wishes to you and your family .

Fantastic job! I can almost smell the fresh paint and rubber. Super jealous-my old C has not run in probably twenty years. Now that I’ve retired I’ve ordered some parts to rebuild the carb, distributor and added a one wire alternator and change over to 12 volt. Thanks for being meticulous and recording everything so I can use it as a guide!

AWESOME Pete!! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! Keep Smilin!!!!

Pete, I am a Deere guy, but I have really enjoyed the journey of the restoration of this Super C. You have documented it wonderfully and it looks perfect, and the fact that it fired right off is proof it runs as well as it looks. I admired those who save the old iron, especially in todays age of high horsepower computer controlled , auto steer tractors. Keep up the great work and videos. God Bless

I am in awe. The quality of the work done and willingness to do things the right way gave amazing results. A brand new old tractor. I love it!

Absolutely phenomenal work Pete. This is the most invested I’ve ever been in any RU-vid content.

I am impressed by your detailed restoration. It has been particularly interesting to me because my father bought a nearly new Super C in the mid 1950's. Up until then we had nothing with something as handy as the "Fast Hitch" on the Super C. With it we could pull posts, haul things, and hook up heavy things with that magical hitch. We went to country school and all the roads to it were gravel. One of the parents had Farmall 350 with a "Fast Hitch" and when his road was very muddy in the spring, he brought his kids to school riding on the platform hooked onto the "Fast Hitch".

GREAT job!!! Thank You for taking us along... Really enjoy your channel!

Amazing job! Your old time neighbor farmers must oooh and ahh when you go by with these beauts. My dad, 82, could take apart and put a tractor back together no problem but give him a cell phone or computer and he's lost! 😂

Great job Pete the Farmall Super C should give you many many more years of service.

Few people find their niche in life. You are blessed and fortunate to find your place...best wishes for you to continue your path sir...thank you for sharing how rewarding and challenging it is.

I like to think that we imbue the things we work with in a way that passes on our strengths. With this rebuild, precision, heart, and steadfastness are all there when I hear the Super C running. Nice work.

Hello Pete, Enjoyed the Super C restoration, it takes me back to the days in Texas a long time ago and our Farmall H and M. My Dad loved Farmalls. Keep up the good content, yes I enjoy.

Beautiful tractor, great job Pete! You are the master.

Morning Pete from Australia, Loved the Tractor restore, Just love every vlog all the best for 2023 and keep them coming. Craig in Brisbane.

Beautiful job on the super c. . Absolutely amazing and sounds great.

Pete, enjoyed the series immensely. I love your attention to detail.

I haven't watched the video yet, I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. They're really helping me with research and motivation to begin my own farm. I hope yall are having a good day! :)

Thanks Pete, you are a great guy, very honest, diligent, caring, you represent the best in human dignity.

This series has been intensely satisfying to watch. I have watched each episode at least twice and I think you really knocked it out of the park.

That engine almost rev up before Pete pushed the start button !! An other successful story. Can i say it´s Pete´s built ? Pure joy for him, us and that Super C ❤❤❤

I can just imagine the farmer getting this new all those years ago! I love the smells of newly run engines and equipment.

VERY nice pete! Thank you for sharing your restoration project. I really enjoyed the series!

The only thing I don’t like about this series is that it ended! Such a joy to watch. Maybe we’ll see another restoration in a couple years. Cheers, Pete.

What a great job Pete 👏👏👏 She looks and sounds great. Thank you for the videos.

Ten thousand thumbs up young fella!!!!!!!!!!

Being a former mechanic I truly enjoy watching you work on the old tractors. Brings back many memories.

Can't wait to see the ol' gal out in the field, Pete! Congrats on getting her back on her feet.

It has been a joy following you through this restoration!! Again I think you should do this full time!! Many thanks and keep up the phenomenal job!!

Man your almost gonna need another shed for all your restored tractors. Good work 👍

Hey Pete, I just wanted to say it’s amazing that you can tare down a Farmall to nothing but a pile of parts, nuts, and bolts and refurbish them and put the Farmall back together in just a few months. I am in awe of your skills. All farmers should have your skills. Thank you for sharing them with us! I’m learning so much!

Your channel is my favorite. I never miss any of your videos. I've never felt like fast forwarding yours. They are the best. Thank you.

Great job! I'm almost as happy as you are! You're a real inspiration to a lot of people.

I can’t believe it . Seems like yesterday that you started working on her . Time flies having fun. Thanks

Incredible Pete!! Hard work and determination. Keep it coming!

I'm not a farmer, don't own a tractor and never have driven one either but after watching this whole series id love to sit on that beautiful tractor. Well done Pete it's a beauty to behold.

Beautiful job Pete! Thankful for the great content as always.

Pete you're right the final step is the operation of it in the field. Great job and know we all enjoyed looking over your shoulder.

What is more satisfactory than seen result of a year work turning into a great success. I felt reel joy when you started the engine and heard it run so gently. You must be proud of this result. Congratulation Pete. You are the best.

Good times. Very enjoyable to spectate the entire process. Thank you.

Pete, the Super C looks like a new tractor, keep up the great videos. It brings back memories of my childhood.❣️❣️❣️❣️

what a great project. i enjoyed the entire series. the pride you take in every detail shows through!

she's a beaut Pete. sounds healthy as a fresh new born. 21 episodes on this build. heck that's commitment, plus a ring and a ceremony (grins) insert Carly Simmon - Anticipation 'anticipation is keeping me waiting..and stay right here -cause these are the good old days'

As a former mechanic for over 30 years, I can say that your tractor is a lovely vehicle, lovingly brought back to its former beauty. Amazing... :)

Great job Pete I love the letter series Framall. I grew up in Wellsville NY at Bob Balls Farmall. My Dad was a sale-man for them and hardware in front.

Congratulations Mr Pete 🌷 now awaiting to see her preen thru the neighborhood 💖. You both earned it 🔥

Love your work. My uncle restored my father’s Super H last September and brought it down to me October. It was his way of honoring his brother and showing his love to me. Like your C , it runs perfectly and looks amazing. Always look forward to your videos and enjoy your passion for good and honest work.

Wow! Pete, she's a real beauty now. What craftsmanship. Love how she didn't even hesitate to start. She obviously wants to get out in that field. Well done brother.

Wow! She’s purring like a kitten. Give yourself a pat on the back, you’ve done a great job!

How exciting! So impressed with your restoration projects. Learn something new every time.

Pete, congratulations on a successful working tractor restoration and great video series!!!!!

A thing of beauty, nice job. She looks ready to go get a load of firewood and fix fence for spring. Looking forward to the test drive, You and Hil have a great day.

Tractor looks awesome Pete and purrs like a kitten.. Well done!

You are basically a master mechanic...makes farming so much easier !

Hey Pete! I just wanted to say that you have done a phenomenal job on your Super C (and all the others). I always had a soft spot for the C-Series.... Owned a 1950 for many years. Lovely tractor. She sure runs sweet, and looks sweet as well!

Better than new. Great job Pete.

WOW Peter you work and effort have truly paid off and your refurbished tractor looks AMAZING. WELL DONE SIR!!!!!

Excellent job Pete. You should admire your expertise like we ALL do. 👌

Hello from Oklahoma, Pete, I enjoyed watching the series, You did an excellent job, restoring the Farmall t tractor God bless you and your family. Live long and prosper.🙂

So excited to see this🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for taking us along. It's been enjoyable.

Wow Pete. Your expertise in so many topics in farming and life is very impressive. The tractor startup was worth the wait and high drama from my couch in Idaho. Thanks for sharing your journey!

Great job Pete!!! That tractor came out sweet!!! Can't wait to see it cruising on the field!!!

I knew it was going to purr like a kitten. Another great restoration. Can’t wait to see it do some work!

Congratulations Pete!!! The tractor looks great. I hope it gives you years and years of uninterrupted service. Keep up the Good work!!! Rich from PA

I was chomping at the bit waiting for this one! Loved it Pete! The Farmall looks and sounds fantastic!!

An awesome job and restauration truly. People instead of buying new tractors and going into luxury, should remember that small farms used those tractors for a 100 years and they still run or could run. No high payments, not interest to pay either, the banks don't own you, and you can farm your small farm and be FREE!! Pete what a great gentleman in the end, well done to you sir 😉

Looks and sounds like it just came off the showroom floor! Awesome job! You are a true craftsman when it comes to tractors! Great job!

Really enjoyed the series Pete, looking forward to more.

Absolutely incredible series of videos on the rebuild process, Pete! Your attention to detail is unparalleled and hopefully someone will use these as a guide for future rebuilds on their tractor. I’m not mechanical at all, but would love to have that ability. Watched the whole series and always looked forward to the next video! All the best to you and your family.

Wow Pete what a beautiful tractor. Better than new because it is filled with love and caring. Again, you have restored a part of history. I hope you are proud of yourself because you should be. Take care and see you on the next video. Say hi 🙋‍♂️ to Hillary.

You sure did an excellent job restoring that tractor! It looks like new!

super C looks better than ever> can't wait to see it out on the farm!

Awesome Pete.... she sounds great....! No hiccups, burps or back fires, that's good..! And no leaks...! Other than the Amp meter that corrected itself...all is well....! =)

That's a beautiful restoration! Awesome job Mr. Pete! My family and I watch every one of your videos as we find them relaxing and very entertaining. Hope all is well on the farm!

I have enjoyed watching you rebuild the super C and I can't believe it I was holding my breath when you started it. i was happy for you when it started right away. Very Fun to all the videos of the farm. I hope you Have a good day

Hi Pete, what a great job on the Super C. It looks great and can understand why you did not want to get it wet on its first start up. It will have to be your fair weather tractor! Again great job . I look forward to seeing your new pig project progress during the year. John, London.

Absolutely loved this, you have inspired me to want to do this with my 1950 WD .

Beautiful tractor, congratulations

Absolutely beautiful!

I swear I could smell the paint burning off the exhaust manifold after she had been running a couple minutes. Congratulations on a job well done.

I love it. My brothers and I learned to drive tractor on a Super C. You are going to love the narrow front. My dad was great at backing hay wagons with our Super C.

Pete, I enjoy all of your and Hillarys vidios. I always like your rebuild vidios, and the super C has been great to follow. Have been looking forward to the startup. She sure sounds good. Again this has been a great series, that I have enjoyed every minute. Thank you.

Bravo, Pete!! Touch the key and she barked to life. A lot to be said for tuning by ear. They tell you when they're happy. She's a beauty and looking her best in many years. Congrats and well done.

Congratulations on another fantastic restoration. Great job and she looks awesome.

Not only she looks super awesome, purs just like a kitten . Awesome job Pete, never under estimated your mechanical abilities. God bless you and your family, greetings from NE rural Ohio who enjoys all of your videos!

Impressive, beautiful!

Thank you for taking us along, Pete. Great work.

Good job I’m happy to see you got your super C running Can’t wait to see it in action this coming spring

Sounds and looks good. Thanks Pete. Nothing like the old tractors .

I have so enjoyed watching you work on this tractor! Thank you for sharing the journey!
