the OLD FARMALLS go head-to-head pulling the manure spreader: F-20, H, and 10-20. which will win? 

Great old machines and I like that you actually use them. I understand the enjoyment of restoring an old tractor to showroom condition and driving them in parades, but there is nothing like letting the old girls do what they were built to do. I have an Allis Chalmers WD and AC B that I use for mowing fields and hauling trees at our Christmas tree farm.

The 100 years old being the toughest one, in EVERY way, even kicking back. Delicious watching! Thanks a lot

loved watching the farmalls work pete.we have a farmall cub my dad bought new in 56,it still plows snow,and mows both hay,and our lawn.amazing how well built these things were.

Love Farmall week! I made lots of manure trips to the fields with my granddad, with one foot on the drawbar and the other on the axle. My granddad would put his hand on my back as he drove. I think he wanted to be able to tell quickly if I fell off the tractor, which luckily I never did. Once in a while the spreader would hit us with a small piece and we’d get a chuckle. The sound of the old H brings back so many memories. It was a true workhorse. Thanks, Pete!

The 10-20 has so much torque that it doesn’t notice when you engage the clutch. My grandfather enrolled in agricultural school after WWI to learn about “tractors and their mechanism”-his very words in an old letter. Cool to see the 10-20 as representative of the era when he was studying.

I admire not only your ability but also your desire to keep these old tractors going on the farm. Having my Grandfather’s old 8N and Golden Jubilee, they can be truly frustrating when you have work planned to do and have to spend time diagnosing or fixing the old tractor.

Watching the Farmall H brought back a lot of memories. The drone of the engine, whine of the third gear in the transmission and the spur gears in the final drive, the ammeter just next to your right foot, the oil pressure and temperature gauges sticking up in the engine hood were things I checked a lot in the ten years I ran my Dad's super H. We overhauled the engine and put high compression pistons in it. The tractor would run on after pushing the ignition switch off. But when we converted the tractor to run on LP gas, the thing ran better and the oil stayed cleaner. We used the tractor for years. We also ditched the magneto, and went to coil and distributor ignition. We also went to an 8 volt battery to help turn the engine over. The voltage regulator was adjusted to give the extra two volts to charge the 8 volt battery. We used the tractor to pull a six foot rotary mower, an 8 foot offset disk, and a 4 row toolbar mounted planter. When Dad bought the M, the four row tool bar bottom plow and planter moved to it. The Super H also had a belt pulley on it and it ran a grain mill and occasionally , a pump jack when there was no wind for the windmill.

Really enjoyed this video. Have been watching you for a while and am beginning to realize how unique of an individual you are! You seem to enjoy life and that comes through in your videos! Thanks and I look forward to future videos. 👍🏼

Pete playing with his toys! It's such a joy watching these old beauty's at work!

I really enjoyed your Farmall week. Brought back good memories of my Dad and I using the "M" for fall harrowing and various chores back in the 80's.

The last time I drove an old (but new at the time!) Farmal was in 1964, I got to bring the hay wagons back to the barn and unload them!. joys of being the low man on the totem pole!. seeing yours brought back tons of memories. thanks Pete for sharing.

I love that awesome video I loved your farm all week and I can't wait until you do it again. Thank you Pete I hope you and your family are doing well and bless you for keeping part of our history alive with your old tractors.

Another great video. I wonder if everyone understands how much effort you put in to doing a video like this. It is a lot of work to hook up and un hook the manure spreader with various tractors plus having to get off to engage the spreader each time and then to repeat the process over and over. Thank you for doing this. I am also impressed that you show the minor goof ups of killing the tractor and not having enough gas in the tank when trying to start. I cant tell you how many times I have done the same thing. Your videos are very educational and a reminder to us older folks how things used to be. Thank you very much.

Another great video. I've never seem such a complicated jack as your spreader has. its awesome

Hi Pete. Going back to revisit your excellent videos from the past on this thunderstormy evening. Thx. What a delight. Chuck in Florida.

Thanks for posting this is fantastic. When I grew up 50 years ago we had a super c Farmall and an H. Is the Mow with a brush. Plough the fields. Really enjoyed it and miss the old farm❤

Really neat to see that ole 10-20 running. While watching that 10-20 work, I like to think about how amazing it must have felt for those farmers running those early generation tractors, they must have felt invincible. I bet their old work horses were happy to see them roll out too.

I really enjoy your old Farmall videos. Thank you for sharing them.

Loved Farmall week!!!!!!!!! Thank you sir! Cant get enough I even watched some of them twice!! Love my farmalls. Lost dad at early age we farmed miss him and tractor times with him I enjoyed the most. He was very good with them too. Allot of the stuff you have helped remind me. I'm Mechanical engineer but you still forget assembly of distributor and even dealing with magneto !! Love the content don't stop!! Thank you!!

Charming video, Pete. Loved seeing the old girls doing what they were intended for.

What a great video, Pete! I don't know how I haven't seen this until now. You know how much I love the old stuff - and that 10-20 really takes the cake. I have a soft spot for the F20, H, and MD as well..... But the nostalgia of the tractors from the 1920's will always hold a special spot in my heart. They were truly the tractors that changed farming.

Well another year has gone by and here I am again just love watching these old gals get worked again. especially the 1924. and once again watching that backlash. brought out the advice we all get from our mentor's "Don't curl you thumb around the crank! so if she back lashes it won't break your thumb!. good advice then , and now even thanks for sharing yet once again ECF.

You have some nice tractors in your collection,and the best looking,and preserved old manure-spreader that I have ever seen Pete!!Take care....

I really enjoy your videos. I grew up in PA milking cows and my professional career has taken me far away from farming life. Many days I wished I was back on my own farm. I'd have it set up very similar to what you have. Your videos are very thorough and you share a lot of great information. Thanks for taking the time to record your days. I appreciate it like so many others.

Pete, I appreciate all the work you do climbing up and down the tractor to set up the camera. I'm sure it makes for a longer day but we appreciate it

Thank you very much, very interesting video. Love seeing the old tractors in action.

Great video- thanks for your hard work making these available!

Beautiful equipment. You love tractors. You take good care of them. It's a part of our heritage. Easy a pleasure to see them operate. Brought back memories of child hood days. Thankyou Sir. May God continue to watch over you.

These old tractors are incredible, thanks for sharing!

I really wish my dad was alive so I could show him this video. He would have really enjoyed it. He had over 100 tractors, mostly Farmall. Thank you for the good memories!!! Lorie

You really have done a stunning job of rebuilding and restoring your equipment. They are beautiful. Even better they are back doing what they were designed to do instead of rusting away in a field somewhere. LOL Believe it or not a Tank is a Lot easier to drive that that Mccormick. 😊

Love to see old red Farmalls working. They hum right along, and are easy to work on .Thanks for sharing Farmall week!

Wow! Amazing video & a great Farmall series! Many thanks!

Great series. You’re doing an excellent job in my opinion. It’s a crazy world out there and I’m thankful for your channel

It is obvious how much you love your tractors and have fun with them. You do great videos. I also enjoyed just driving around. There were times I'd fire up the poppin J just to drive around "checking fences". Thanks!

Thanks Pete, I've got and H & 460 and really enjoyed watching this week.

You have amazing photography skills in framing and setting up your videos! Enjoyed the New Idea Spreader bring pulled by your 3 Farmall tractors!

I just watched this video for about the 20th time. It never gets old. I can't wait to see how the MD compares too. Thanks Pete!

I enjoyed watching you work those tractors. It's great to see the utility value of old machinery.

100 year old tractor working. Testament to the love and care given to the life of your equipment.

Love to see the old tractors working. Hope to see a restoration of the old McCormick in the future.

Thank you for sharing your tractors. It is a joy to watch them work.

The H brings back childhood memories. I was around 12 or so and would haul the loaded hay wagons back to the barn. I remember that sound! My grandfather also had 2 350s. One was a utility the other was more like the H only larger both with wide front end. Some friendly advice- tuck your shirt tail in for safety. Too many things to get it caught in around all that old machinery. Just sayin’ 🥴

Loved the Video Pete and that old Gal ,however you can see the real progress in each tractor Keep Safe.

I restore vintage sewing machines, Pete, and its great to see them used, as well. They don’t take up as much room as tractors, though! Another great video. Thank you!

I really enjoyed watching you work those old tractors it was nice to see big bread run see you next week

So cool! Thanks for sharing your old iron

fall looks so beautiful there! Love those classics too

I love that you actually USE these old tractors on your farm. I sometimes feel guilty about using my antiques, wondering if they ought to be preserved instead of used given their age. I'm sure there are many opinions on this, but I think sometimes them is a good way of preserving them, since it keeps all systems functioning.

I just love this brings so many memories back The wife and I was raised on farming in up state NY in Jefferson county

I enjoyed your Farmall Week. It was nice to see the F-20 and the 10-20 get some exercise. Thank you.

This video is my favorite !!! Love seeing the old farmalls work.

It’s neat how u know soo much about the old tractors and u still use them . U really enjoy what u do. Keep the video coming. My dad grew up a on a 120 acres Mn farm from 1935-1954. And always talked about old tractors . Ur video remind me of my dad and his cousin who owed about a dozen farmal tractors

Real on steel . Great video. Thanks for sharing

My best and last memory of my Uncle Ray was riding behind the Farmall on top of a load of hay bales. You brought it all back. 1954! Yes, it lives. I learned to drive a stick shift on a WWII Jeep, that my Uncle Paul had for checking on the pigs. I loved those visits with the silly sows and sometimes even their broods. (Grin) Uncle Paul said that since I was 11 I needed to learn to drive but don't tell your mother. LOL He was a hoot. I loved both of these men and admired them greatly. Girls really weren't supposed to do many things I did, Mom didn't know about the driving until years later. My brother blabbed! Hehehe... Thanks for the memories.

I enjoy the tractor videos. I get the impression that you chose farming for the love of restoring and using old farm equipment. =D It's nice to see such old equipment being used as opposed to rusting away.

Hello Pete. Farmer George from Jersey. Thanks for helping others realize the work involved in small farming operations. Also for mentioning the importance of worms. I use all refuse from my goats, rabbits, donkeys and pigs in 2 contained compost units. Red worms process all in 30 days with just a tarp over top . All is sold as worm castings. Brings good money at farm and flea markets. Perhaps a good tip for farmers with it in piles at their farms. Have a good day. George

Great video Pete. Keep up the great work and your channel will continue to grow!

Thanks for farmall week. I always learn something when you talk tractors.

My brothers and i just bought an AM7 diesel farmall I can’t wait to get it up and running 😁 nice collection of tractors Pete

Thank you, Sir! I've owned two of those tractors, worked on all three. Adore them. BTW, I'm about 1/3 of the way through your book - ordering two more copies for friends - again, thank you.

Thanks for sharing the old tractors. I have three old tractors that I inherited. Two are functional. I enjoyed the video.

Thanks for a great episode, enjoyed it!!!

Another great video with very informative commentary .

Pete That was a treat !! thank you Sir

What a great showcase for your tractors Pete! Very, very cool,

Great! Just go on doing what you do. Greeting from Brandenburg, Germany!

Well that was fun. All those tractors were lined up by the driveway when I came by on Wednesday and I said to Hilary that it looked like you were getting ready for a parade.

I know if I had to choose between a mule and the iron wheel tractor, I would take the tractor and take some medicine for the end of the day aches. Glad that you showed all the old timers in action. Thanks Pete.

Great video!!! Good to see old iron working.

What a fun video. The steel tires on the '24 had me so intrigued. This was interesting to to see all in use.

My grandmother never drove anything. When my grandfather was off at work, she had my dad drive his two older sisters, one younger brother, & her into town on the then young Farmall H to see a picture show. They would hide the tractor in a pine plantation on the edge of town & walk in from there. My grandfather was never told, & my dad was about 8-9 years old at the time. My dad had me driving that same Farmall H (believe it's 1947 or 1948 model) by 3rd grade on our small Wisconsin dairy. I took my parents for drive a couple years ago where he grew up in upper Michigan, & he shared the picture show story with us. It made me realize why he started me so young driving that same tractor. My dad is 80 now & still on the Wisconsin farm my grandparents moved to in 1952. Many of the Farmall tractors have come & gone, but the Farmall H has remained. I just drove it a couple weeks ago while helping my dad getting some firewood ready for next winter. I've always enjoyed that Farmall H. It made some of my other relatives Minneapolis-Moline Z & U tractors seem primitive by comparison. Our H sounds & looks almost exactly the same as your tractor. I've changed way more in the past 50 years than the H has! :) Your other tractors are cool, too! I'm just a bit partial to the Farmall H. It's a pleasant little workhorse. We use to use the belt drive to fill silos years ago, too!

Really cool seeing that old girl working!

I would love to spend a day helping out with the feeding and chores. I never was on a farm . Your life seems so blessed and peaceful. Please keep the jokes coming, they really are funny.

Pete you sir are having to much fun take care stay safe ciao see you later

Sure is a great collection, and great seeing the old iron working 👍

Love this video! I have 3 similar tractors that you have, a 1925 McCormick Deering 10-20, a 1939 Farmall F-20 standard tread with the same Monroe Easy ride seat and a 1954 Farmall Super M-TA with a Behlen power steering unit. The 10-20 and F-20 are restored. I have the same issues you have with the 10-20 fuel tank. That will be my fall project. I live down in sunny southwest Indiana. Keep up the great work!

thanks Pete, that was an excellent vid.

Excellent video. Ur equipment great shape.and u know how to run it. My grandfather had a G p john deer.remember in field with it. My dad had a MM Z. & Bf avery 1947. Still in barn on farm.still starts rite up.

My dad used to tell us a story about an old Model A (or T) pickup with the old wooden spoked wheels and a crank start. Seems his brother and he decided to fire the old beast up. Dad got on the crank and his brother got on the spark advance (??) and when my dad cranked it over, he did something deliberately wrong with the spark and the danged crank kicked back and broke my dad's arm. To his dying day, he never forgave Clifford for that little 'trick'. The videos of you driving that old tractor reminded me of my first driving lesson on the ranch---on a Ford N-8 (??) back in the '50's. Great memories---it's what we old fogies get lost in. Nostalgia---what would we be without it, eh? {If this is a repeat story; sorry. Can't recall if I mentioned it before or not---another foible of OA}

Awesome video. Love the old farmalls.

We were in Salem, New Hampshire for a weeding last weekend. The trees were just starting to turn and looked beautiful!

Love the old stuff

My grandpas dad had an old fordson but I don’t know what model it was. Besides a team of horses that was the big dog until they got two unstyled Allis chalmers WCs. My grandmas dad use to be a Top salesmen for IH back in the 30s. They sent him from Ohio down to West Virginia where grandma was born and according to grandma he use to travel down a lot of back roads selling farmall F-20s to people back in the holler. Haha I’m not sure when but they moved back to where they originally were from in Ohio at some point. Really enjoy seeing all the old tractors Pete! Thanks for sharing!

Old tractors get angry when you wake them, but fight to keep running when you have. Love the sound of the McCormack, low compression, and low rpm’s.

You have a lot of knowledge and wisdom my friend.

That 1924 tractor is BEAUTIFUL!! Probably never get the full Pete treatment, but I’d DEFINITELY pitch in for the cost of it. What an epic series of videos that would be?!?!

Thank you for the great show of Red Power this week.

Very cool video! Thanks for sharing this one. I love those old tractors. It makes me happy to see you still working them. ;-)

Nice collection !!

Great video. My dad had 2 farmall H's back in the 60's and 70's. I love watching the old tractors still working. Especially the one that is almost 100 years old. I bought a 2019 TYM tractor last year what are the odds of it still working almost 100 years from now?

Hard to believe its been a year since I've watched this video again. fun part about being subscribed (besides all the great video's) is when you first boot up YT most of your video's show up in the first page, so I get a chance to "review" some of them which I do a lot.. I have had some experience at cranking and old tractor by hand, When I was just in my early teenhood. and the first thing I was taught, was to NOT curl my thumb around the crank, for back lash, unless I wanted a broken thumb. I did make that mistake once, but got lucky it was not curled around the crank too much and only got sore thumb out of it, instead of broken. lesson learned the hard way as the saying goes. thanks again Pete for all the great videos. ECF

You can always tell the sound of a farmall. Love love that red power!!

Your 10/20 brings back memories of the 15/30 which we had in my pre-school days of the mid 40's. Personally, I would prefer the rubbers on the rear wheels to be replaced by the proper McGregor grips (as we know them in Australia) and the skid rings added to the front wheels to complete the originality. However, regardless of that, all your tractors are a credit to you and your enthusiasm for them.

I am a Deere Guy, but still love to see all good ole tractors, no matter the colors

Man oh man those things were built to last! Very cool video 👍👍👍

Again Excellent video better than a Professional i'd say! I think the 10-20 is my Favorite and your right on that one! Almost 100 and still going, Hell it'd be 150-200 and keep running! Just like that old J.I Case Steam tractors.

I love the 10-20 and F20 videos you should put them on the channel more often

it was a joy to see these old tractors do their thing. Thanks for sharing with us. Our farm had a small dozer and a WW2 era half track that we used for farming in the 50's along with a more modern Farmall tractor.

Was great nice seeing the Old Farmall's they was always good girls to use
