I’d be worried about kick back while rotating so many times. I do love the sound of an F20 👍

fantastic explanation, very helpful and informative. Thank You!

I love how you are preserving the old machinery and old farming ways. This is fascinating. Great presentation! Keep up the good work.

I have enough farmall to have my own small show. of coarse old letter series) lol but never had a F-20. So I bought the only one that was listed in my area for the last 2 years . I mean the only cheap, cheap one. So I bought some yard art, you might say. It also is a 1935. With no rear tires or tubes and 1/2 rusted off wheels mag missing cyl. head had the spark plugs out and the big L linkage for the governor was cracked, tool box gone, and drive shat cover gone, no seat. linkages that run up on top the hood damaged .Carb missing ,you get the idea ( yard art) But ever sense I had it . I have learned a ton about it , proves it's hard to get to know how there built, if you don't own one. And for some reason the clutch cast housing is cracked. and no belt pulley even the part that runs it.

It is amazing to see such re-engineered engineering from that time in modern day vehicles.

Really like the h. My dad and i restored my 1950 h about 15 years ago. Still running strong!

would love to own a H. this is the year of tractor that I want. 1952 to 1954. thanks for showing them.

glad to see those not going to junkyard those babies put ihc on the farm i been on them all my life still have 5 1 regular

I recognize that tractor! I'm glad to see you got it running and it's being put to good use!

Those both look nice. Thanks for helping to preserve them.

Thanks so much for the kind words.

Well he would not have donated the tractors to you if he did not respect what you do. Well done guys! Two more great tractors for the collection.👍

Well we get a lot of birds nests in tractors hear in England, but I’ve never seen or heard of mice filling up a bell housing like that! Keep making them videos, real interest 👍

I recognize the fuel tank from a snapper mower 👍😉

Great video. In the late 60s my neighbor had a doodle bug made from an old Buick, double transmissions and big truck differential. The bench seat had a large piece of concrete as a base. Extra ballast for traction. He pulled disc and drag for fitting ground with it. He also snaked logs with it. I hope you show footage of some doodlebugs at work.

Thank you from Ontario Canada.

I love it. Both are a great save.

Been following you for some time now from over hear in cornwall. Very impressed with what you are doing at your museum, I’m sure you are all getting much pleasure from your work. We have some farmalls over hear but not as big as them! Being row crop tractors were they made for a specific crop? I bet your well pleased to add them to the collection!👍

There’s nothing more I would rather do than run a link Belt 78 or 98. I ran one for years digging oilfield pits, backfilling oilfield pits, digging ponds. It’s an art!! Loaded many a dump truck also. Love em!!

Looks in better shape than our Power Major was. Great reliable unit that just keeps going.

I run a LS 58 speeder for years feeding a gravel crusher in Southern Mo

I really enjoyed your video. I am a owner & operator of a excavation business, but I love to watch those old draglines operate. Thanks for sharing.

Great sounding old dozer mine is a D7c 17A New diff brgs and seals new liners and pistons heads redone

Great video Stephanie. I am very proud of what you, Rick, and Joanne do for Inman, Fayette County, and the farmers of this great nation.

Well I take my hat off to you guys!! What a great restoration job you have done on a unique truck. Sure it will catch people’s eye and draw attention to the veterans.👍

Hi, Folks. Good video and thanks for posting it. I started my 58 year operating career on machines of that vintage. How-wevver, that it NOT a late 1940s machine. It is 1950 - '53. The giveaways - the later model hard nose around the radiator and the two-stick transmission - both of these changes came in 1950 Prior to that date, the gear shift was what is commonly called the 'slide bar' system. the gear shift had a 'gate' with a slot for each gear and you had to SLIDE the gear lever sideways to match up wht the gate slot for the gear that you wanted. UNmistakable. Thanks again. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Great job by my daughter Stephanie Adamek.

What is the purpose of having the exhaust going forward?

I love this tractor but haven’t seen it run in years. Come see it at the Inman Antique Expo on March 1-3

I respect my elders and completely trust an elderly that has lived and worked on these machines their entire life. There are those who think they know it all but never sat on this machine and will disrepect these old timers to make themselves appear to be good mechanics, but you can't take away experience like these old timers have. The time, the experience and the wisdom is priceless. Thank you gentlemen for sharing these videos.

Due to the "back fire", is the reason why many went to the vertical exhaust. My grandfather had a vertical exhaust put on. Even with the 3 foot length exhaust, the back fire still would come out of the top with a one foot long tail.

Love the music. Very calming.

That is the first Machina I learn to run, but with hydraulics Nice and heavy.

Love the old iron

Wonderful! I remember watching in awe as a small child while my father and grandfather supervised the threshing of Luscern/Alfalfa seed using one of these. This wasnt so long ago early 2000's (although this is in South Africa, Oudtshoorn) and was before combine harvesters became more commonplace. Its always sad to see these awesome machines slowly lose their use. I have fond memories. Thank you for sharing!

Thats a golden pice of machinery😊 I got an D6 8U 1958 my self…And working with it, is like medicine against all kinds of bad stuff! Love theese kinds of videos, and you two guys looks like having a good time! Take care and Thanks for sharing!😊All the best from north of Norway!

Who cares ,as long as starts😂

NEVER!!! Open the throttle UNTILL you want it to start. He opened it before he put it on compression, the diesel didn't even have time to build up heat, that is the key to starting properly. Having the the throttle open puts fuel in the cylinders and washes the liners, cold fuel does not ignite until enough heat is made in the combustion area.

I always heard that you should let the pony motor run out of fuel rather than shutting it off. I'm surprised he didn't shut off the gas.

That sure is an able piece of equipment! We call them donkey engines hear in England to start them. Is that fitted with there own engine? Of something else. Sound great 👍

Ты крутой ДЕД!👍🤝

The BBC have never broadcast commercial advertising.

From seeing the "backfire", I believe that is why my Grandfather had a taller exhaust pipe put onto the tractor; plus keep it covered when not in use.. Lol 😆

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice engine

doodle bugs weren't only made in the 1930s but also much earlier then that and also made in Europe as well just the difference car repairshops or black smithshops made them. There was a Canadian company also that made kits to make a doodle bug, and Sears and Wards had kits like that in their Catalogs as well

Very nice. I have a 8 hp olds seager type a. My grandpa ran it years ago for show. This motor has sat for @ 30 years . The piston was rusted tight and 8 finally broke it loose and just tonight I have totally tore the motor apart piece by piece. Needs a few a lot of tlc. Has several broken bolts that I will have to tap out. I think the piston and rigs are going to make it. Anyhow you have a nice collection and you seem very knowledgeable on your motors. Thanks mike

As a teenager I worked as an apprentice mechanic for a company that about 20 of those running and maybe the same in spare parts I can remember in off season this was a citrus company we could go to the huge inventory of old parts from transmission and differential house to engine blocks we would built entire tractors reconditioned heads new pistons liners and bearings we create a working tractor to replace anyone that came in for repairs sometimes we had 4 or 5 of them sitting in yard at the ready I even remember some the part numbers were almost always started with the letters dkn even after 40yrs

I always heard that M&G Truck delivered Brunswick Stew to Louisianna?

Like Simon and Garfunkel used to sing! Preserve your memories, there all that’s left you! I bet that old farmer sure got some memories. He will be some pleased when you get her going again. Lovely video👌
