Old tractors have a lot to tell. If you want to work on newer big tractors you should buy an older one first. In about 1950 - 1960 all the systems we use today were invented and put on these small HP tractors. I think you should start a garden and tend it with something old so you can work on it 👍

It runs surprisingly well for being other wise kind of janky

Thanks so much brother! Miss ya a bunch and hope you guys are doing well too! Miss ya!

Did you watch all of it? The whole thing is about my 520 😂

5 seconds in it shows you I bought my first Deere!

Dean come back and look at my 520!! I got it running just for this video!

Definitely a big change lol. And completely different than I'm used too! There's a lot of these B sized deeres around here too. Seems like they were the cultivating tractors for these small farms

@RussellsFarmingRepair in my area there is a lot of them on bigger farms and just older people in my area own them our smallest tractor after we sold the m Farmall is a 190 witch is around 100 horse

@@Gear_jammer I've seen a bunch at tractor shows too and I could see a 190 being a little more useful than an M for you.

@RussellsFarmingRepair we have 3 190s one my dad bought in the mid or late 2000s when he started farming it came with a loader duals weights and chains for $6000 and we have one that was in my family it's entire life and we bought and got running and restored it the m was a nice tractor but I still would rather have my great grandpa's M john Deere more

Thank you!

Wow! You are very close. It's a cultivator, but more of a mounted type. What does it go on?

@RussellsFarmingRepair I don't know anything about farming. I'm just good at solving things. I can see part of the lettering on the sticker Not the entire word but enough I was able to get cultivator out of it.

I appreciate it! 🙏

Preach 🙌

It does feel good to find that one bolt you saved forever ago that fits perfectly on what you're working on. But no that's just the most my creativity can do to make a catchy short lol. But my favorite part is that almost all these tractors were handed down and I enjoy the stories behind them when I work on them for people.

That's a really good idea. I just started this year and I've needed something like that more times than I can count.

@@RussellsFarmingRepair the $300 cheap small metal lathe will save you hundreds over the years, just take a bigger bolt, rip the threads off on the lathe and put smaller ones on lmao Best part is you can chop long bolts to the length you need it and it's no big deal 10/10 recommend

@@FartSuckerUmad are you some kind of mechanical profit 🤣 I'm always running to the hardware store for hardware. Thanks for enlightening me!

@@RussellsFarmingRepair just a rural Australian, ain't driving no 1 hour to get a bolt lmao

My biggest right now is a Ford 4000. Hopefully we'll continue to grow

That's a great thing to do together. This is a 1944 C and really I got it running again and did a new coat of paint.

It's definitely been looked after. I cleaned it up and put a fresh coat of orange on it. I agree it's a pretty color

I love working on these smaller tractors. Farmall A's and C's are the best projects for restoration. Not too big and complex, plus parts are easy to get.

I only farm with old iron for that reason. It might need a lot of maintenance but at least I can fix it and it's built to be easy to work on. I wouldn't trade any of these for a new tractor 🚜

@@RussellsFarmingRepair hot ham I like it I do much the same old iron is built to last

I'd really like to try something like that 1100. And I'm not sure you can go wrong with anything Kubota. They hold their value for a reason

@@RussellsFarmingRepair it’s nice it’s my “little baby” I use it to do all the heavy “grunt” work and pulling as the manual transmission makes it nice to pull with

@@Huntersprojects nice, if I ever come across one I'll remember that and try to pick it up 👍

We have a 8N that was bought new here. On my other side of the family my grandpa's Ferguson was sold so it's gone forever.

@@RussellsFarmingRepair my great grandpa's tractors mostly got sold the 1586 went to someone why we know and are related to and then my brother bought it he kept the m john deere until he dies now it's still in the shed where he left it becouse my great grandma kept it and there was a yellow international crab steer that was bought by a someone up north and restored the rest i don't know about

@@Gear_jammer there's a lot to keep track of on a bigger farm. A John Deere M is more my speed though

@@RussellsFarmingRepair yeah I think was was a yellow loader tractor my brother ended up with them he got it running and sold it witch I was not to sad to see gone but I don't know what it was I thought it was case I am used to the bigger 100-250 horse tractors

It definitely is. 👍

I'm a logger with a 69 Alice Chalmers and I can appreciate it. . but then again . I work for a living . Not sit around the house watching plants grow 😂

@@ClaytonBigsby01 Logging sounds like an easy life as long as you know which way a tree falls 🤣🤣

@@ClaytonBigsby01 what model of Allis do you use for that? I think D21's were popular in the late 60's

I might live in the city, but given the chance, I would pick up and roll out anywhere in the world to be up at 3am farming than 3am to go sit in the office.

It's really nice. I've enjoyed having it here and I'll be sad to see it go back home

@@RussellsFarmingRepair yeah it's nice that you can use them some whenever your working on them

Thank you! 🙏

I post all my videos on Tik Tok first because I think it's editing software is a lot better. If I'm making a regular video then I use KZbin create

@@RussellsFarmingRepair I might try the KZbin create but I don't have tik Tok

@@Gear_jammer yt create is definitely nice for videos longer than a minute

@@RussellsFarmingRepair I think I have used it before on my first channel or maybe even when I had a gaming channel

@@Gear_jammer I had to delete and reupload my last video. Sometimes KZbin won't show the video so it sits at 6 views forever

Same here. I try to stay pre 1970's. This Allis is a 1944

Oh for sure! The stuff you work on has to be tiny. I'd drop one of those springs and never find it again! This carb is actually a little bigger than I'm used to and it's got a lot more parts to it than those 1950's carbs. I bought the wrong carb kit so now I'm waiting on parts for it again 🙄

I've worked on a lot of them and always wanted my own!

Most of these tractors belong to other people. I work on antique tractors on the side. All the Ford's are mine though lol. I'm looking for a Farmall H or a JD A to cultivate with next year

@@RussellsFarmingRepair that's cool that you can work on those on the side I kinda do the same but I will work an almost anything and I will buy recked or rotted out vehicles and part then out there is good money in it me and my brother's best record for pulling a pickup apart is 5 hours

@@Gear_jammer there definitely is good money in it if you got the time!

​@@RussellsFarmingRepairyeah witch I have been doing some stuff like that but with vehicles I don't get to mess with tractors that size much

@@Gear_jammer they're out there, especially on Facebook

It's carb dip. You let the carb soak in it for a few hours and it strips a lot of the gunk off. You can get it at any parts store

@@RussellsFarmingRepair I've always used brake clean, I have used carb cleaner before but that's one of those things that you just spay into it without taking it apart

That's all good. Looking forward to seeing those videos as well. I bagged my sunflower seeds and took them to a fall festival. They sold pretty well

@@RussellsFarmingRepair that's cool that your able to do that all of our stuff we kept in the bins of sold it to an elevator that was close

@@Gear_jammer taking it to a elevator would be a lot easier. I hand bagged all these and loaded about 1200 pounds into a trailer lol. But that's the only way I can do it, I have to keep the middle man out to be profitable

​@@RussellsFarmingRepairyeah we can make it work with bringing it to the elevator but like my eggs I sell directly to whoever is around I also give some away to friends and family

I'm glad you enjoyed it and that's exactly what I hoped to do with these videos. Thank you!

I have a 961 diesel and it's the same way, a lot more fuel efficient. I'd love to spend some time on a fordson. Thanks for sharing !

Thanks for the idea. I'll do the next one in wide.

I took a little break too. I was tired with how slow things were going on here so I just took some time off. Decided I should make more videos instead of shorts and see how that goes

It is pretty cool to put these old girls in the field again pulling a plow or disc. It's the same here, all these tractors are anymore, are glorified brush hog draggers. I've had a lot of fun farming in a more vintage manner.

@@RussellsFarmingRepair in my area there is not much for those in use the oldest tractor we own is 1966 after we sold our M last week

@@Gear_jammer they're definitely a better fit over here. There's a lot of smaller fields here that make smaller equipment practical. But I can see why it's not useful out there!

Thank you for commenting. All I have is Ford tractors and most of my equipment is Ford too. So there's plenty more to come! The mower is an old WOODS 7ft Rotary. It needs some work like it seems everything else I have does. 😁👍

Hope it was a good harvest!

@@RussellsFarmingRepair it was decent but it was real dry the highest moisture beans I saw where 12-13 percent the lowest was about 6 percent I am hoping the corn is going to be better

@@Gear_jammer It got really dry here towards the end of summer. Luckily sunflowers aren't as sensitive to lack of rain. I was also fortunate that they were mostly done by then anyway. I'm excited to try again next year. I hope your corn does well

@@RussellsFarmingRepair I'm glad yours did decent our corn looks like it will do decent

We’re you farm out of

It's a beautiful tractor, and the diesel is really fuel efficient.

She's getting a little makeover here in a few weeks

The reason we plowed this field was that it had gotten so compacted from decades of cattle grazing. Also down towards the bottom of the hill must have been a gravel pad at one point. So the plow didn't feel like it wanted to dig very well down there where it was really hard regardless of how far down the handle was. Up towards the top of the hill where the ground was nicer the plow cut nice 8 inch deep furrows. I'm sure if I had new sheers on the plow it might have done a little better. I had it in 3rd gear at about 3/4 throttle which might have been too fast or too slow for that hard ground. I'm not really sure about that. It plows all the sunflower fields really well though! I appreciate your comment and I'm always grateful for advice!

Thank you, I'll post some updates. Even if it's meet hand broadcasting to fix all the patches 😅

Thanks buddy 👍

Thank you, we'll keep expanding 👍

Amazing! Thank you for watching

Thanks bud, trying to get better at videos rather than shorts

@@RussellsFarmingRepair your better than me at both but I am only doing it for a hobby in my spare time that's why I don't upload to often and a lot of the stuff I do i need 2 hands to do so i cant record but i am working on getting a tripod to hold my phone but I will hopefully focus on it more once i get to 50 subscribers so i can livestream on moble

I forgot to respond to this one. The head worked a lot better then I thought it would. I had some seed lost do to the flower heads falling off before the reel got to them but nothing terrible. The plastic on the reel is to keep sou beans from getting wrapped around the wood boards the fingers are attached too

​@@RussellsFarmingRepairat least it worked decent this is a different acount

I wasn't expecting to have such a good yield so I was sleeping a bit on marketing. Right now I have a bunch of Facebook ads up and I'm trying to figure out bagging the seed I do have. Once I have it bagged I think I want to attend local fall festivals and try to sell in person

@@RussellsFarmingRepair Sounds like a plan. Hope you make out good !

@@jeremydavis2595 thank you!
