74 year old vintage tractor left in a barn for 20 years... Will it start??

[@tinytproductions6238]

Hey Marty! I saw this video when you first uploaded it when I was 12 or 13! At the time I was a kid who loved seeing old tractors run. This video inspired me to restore an old tractor when I get the chance. Now I’m 15, turning 16 in 2 months. And last winter I restored a ford 8n and it looks unbelievably good! Today I looked at a cockshutt 30 that I am planning on buying for my next restoration, and when my dad asked why I wanted to fix another tractor… I just kept thinking of this video! Took me awhile to find it but I was determined to let you know how much I appreciate this channel. I am now proudly subscribed! I am planning on uploading a few videos to my channel about my 8n and hopefully one day my cockshutt! Thanks again!

There is something about this man and this video that bring such solace to life. I have found myself returning to this video and watching it in full more than half a dozen times in recent years. There is some sort of peace in the way it was carried out and gifted to all of us to enjoy. Marty was the first I subscribed to on you tube and now the first I have ever commented on. I patiently wait daily for new videos as amazing as this one from him. He is the inspiration for the reason why I now have two tractors of my own to tinker with. I am blown away by how intelligent this man is! I hope to watch many more videos from him for many more years to come.

Do you watch Pete on Just a few Acres? He also restores (really nut and bolt restorations and paint too)...old Farmalls and Internationals...during the winter months as well as farming a small block in NY State...

I sure wish I wasn't so old and I lived somewhere that these tractor finds were possible. Here in the U.S. everything either gets scrapped or goes for way too much money. But, I will continue to live vicariously through all of you folks who take the time to restore this old iron and post the videos. Thank you to all. Tiny T, I"ll be watching for your videos.

Good deal on a super A.A no hydraulics, super A does.Side seat called cultivision ,its basically a cultivating tractor.From the seat ,left side bell housing has a round tin spring loaded cover ,pry out to grease throw out bearing,should have zerk on coolant pump too.Drop axels have own reservoirs and rear belt pulley may too( if it has that feature).The carb main metering screw may have a two piece jet ,screw jet then a space between it and the main jet into intake throat.It can harbor crud and drive you nuts till you clean out that space by backing out the screw jets seat .A fun tractor,yours is very straight and an excellent candidate for restoration.Farmall A's are getting hard to come by.Enjoy it,my A is a fun drive,a good hay raker.

[@jamesrivis620]

For me Marty represents the true spirit of the season. He finds old machines and vehicles rotting , seemingly, into the ground. He tinkers with a few important parts, a bit of oil here, some grease here, talking all the while to the soul of this supposedly inanimate object and, a bit at a time, this bolt, that locked up joint, a drink of gas, some gearbox oil , turns the key and 20 years after this old tractor coughed it’s last beat, a spark reaches the fuel, a few pistons cough , smoke billows upwards, filling the old pole barn. Marty adjusts the choke, turns the key again and before we know it, he’s chugging his old friend across the field and onto the awaiting trailer. Happy Holidays Marty, you warmed my heart for sure. $200NZ and a deft hand and life goes on.

Hey man I'm restoring an allis chalmers B up in Wellsford and everyone always asks me "why are you restoring a vintage tractor" and I think it was about a year ago I was down one of those youtube rabbit holes and I came across this very video and realised hey this guy is kiwi I didnt even realize we had vintage tractors in nz, and it made me really want to find an old one in a shed somewhere and do it up. Lo and behold about a month ago I buy a tractor on facebook for $500 sight unseen, and now its giving me such a great project to work on during lockdown. All because of your video, so cool man

If I needed a new head or some new tin work I'd be screwed, but if I needed a new oil pressure gauge or something like that shipping from USA eBay isnt that expensive really.

I used to drive one of these 50+ years ago on a neighboring farm where I worked. The phrase "historical preservation" must mean I'm a relic also - lol. Reminds me of a quote on a genealogy website I was working on a week or so ago. It said "Remember that you are the ancestor of tomorrow". Kind of puts things in perspective. I have a good friend who owns a small farm and he is a whiz with anything mechanical; especially old Farmall tractors. You remind me of him. Very nice video.

[@rexjolles]

@@robertslusser6753 that quote really does put things Into perspective. I always look at the elderly and imagine them when they were my age, like this old man I helped with groceries earlier. It just makes me think, I'm 15 now, one day I'll be an old man, all the things that are popular now won't be, and I'll just be another ignored elderly guy.

You got to love it when you can get a relic started and drive it on the trailer. Best feeling. One time I found a International 400 Utility in the back yard of an implement dealer. 3 point hitch, Torque Amplifier. Nice little tractor. The dealer said it was junk and wouldn't run. Paid him $250-300 as I recall. I sent my wife down the street to buy a battery. In the meantime I tore the carb apart and cleaned it. Re-set the points - which was the problem with the tractor all along. It fired up right away. I drove it past the dealers office window a couple of times just for fun. He came out and asked me if I wanted to sell my tractor! lol

I know you don't buy an old machine(s) to do full restorations, or a showpiece for a museum-but I must admit, that at times throughout this video I kept thinking "what a perfect piece to...." well you know. Great video Marty, I'm glad I found your channel. *God bless.*

[@billbrowning50]

My parents bought an old farm property back in the early 70’s. An elderly couple had passed, the estate sold everything as a package. Belongings and all.. it was like walking through history... or an antique store. In one of the large cattle barns, all the way in the back corner was an old John Deere B. Covered in years of dirt, pigeon shit, straw and leaves. I was 16 at the time, and I was well versed in automotive engines, so I at least had basic knowledge. It took me a good month after school and weekends to get it cleaned up to the point of working on it. Finally after many attempts to crank that flywheel by hand, on Easter morning.. dressed in my powder blue leisure suit ready for church.. I don’t know why I felt the need to crank it, but alas and joy... hit me at the same time... actually... oil hit me as it spattered out the exhaust pipe when it began to run. I didn’t go to church that day, but I got my ass blistered instead. I had so much fun after that... driving it down the old country roads.. I was king

There are some things that deserve getting an ass blistering. That ain’t one of them. Especially at 16. ESPECIALLY at 16.

NZ gasoline is pure without added corn juice (ethanol). So when left in a carb it just evaporates usually without leaving a rusted out or corroded carb unless water was originally in the fuel or leaks into the fuel tank with the fuel tap on....

We had two of these when I was a child on our dairy farm (circa 1949), near Vancouver, BC. If I am right, it is a McCormack- Deering Farmall A. ...Vintage post WW2 about 1949 or 50.

His tractor sat in is wooden garage for over 40 years totally unused . Sadly Malcolm passed away. After the funeral family had to sort his house out. Eventually one said we need to look in the garage . So the tree blocking the doors was removed . Inside was the Fergy under a sheet . Flat tyres old fuel etc . This old fergy came back to life . Malcolm was so old school . I ended up paying £30 for his tidy 60s Hilman Huskycar . I was a young driver and this old car did the job for a couple of years . Eventually sold that to another old guy for £250 . That was 40 years ago. Just seeing that old tractor reminded me . Great video . Love what you do ressurecting old machines.

Nice buy for tractor that runs after a little work.

Hey Marty, great video and you did well for 200 bucks, Farm All made thousands of these tractors here in the US and they were and are still very popular to this day. The beauty of the old Farm Alls is they were built so reliably and with good components that they rarely broke down and when they did it was very easy and inexpensive to fix em. The diesels are even nicer but these old gas jobs had good power too as they were low RPM motors with lots of torque

Now Indian made tractors are supplanting American made tractors ultimately destroying the home grown industry.......American jobs and American industry gone down the gurgler.....and Americans can lay the blame directly on the trash who now inhabit Washingstein. A choice between the imbecile Biden and the blowhard Trump is NOT a choice......two 80 year old pensioners who have no vision for the country. Unfortunately the last time America had a decent president he got assassinated and his replacement got the bullet too.Here the conspirators were a little too transparent....they used a Palestinian patsy for the smear effect.

Hello from Kalamazoo Michigan USA. When I was a child we lived on an eighty acre farm. Our garden tractor was a Farmall Cub. It was a good little machine.

This video reminded me of getting my 1959 Farmall Cub going again about 15 years ago. It’s been in our family since 1962 and we used it for lawn mowing and cultivating tobacco. It’s been tucked safely in my barn the past 8 years living the good life!

Can’t beat that for 200.00 , those Farmall tractors are hard to beat!

Another great video 👍

Thanks for sharing. It’s great to see old, neglected machines brought back to life by people who care.

Thanks Marty for a fine video. Long ago my beloved Uncle had a FarmAll Cub, very similar to this one, and about 8-10 awesome horsepower . I was a 12 year old boy and DYING to drive ANYTHING. It was heaven sitting in that seat and actually moving. Many many hours have been spent in tractor seats since then, and the thrill is gone.My Uncle is long gone, may he rest in peace, and I am not too far behind him, but the old tractors will never die A tearful TYVM for the trip down memory lane on the little tractor.

And Marty, It's commendable that you checked all of the fluids, including gearbox oil.... and greased/lubricated everything, even before you tried to move the tractor out of the shed. With some good maintenance that Farmall tractor should last another 70 years, to be a piece of farming history. I grew up on a farm in Missouri myself, and have driven Farmall model "C" and "M" tractors several times as a kid. ( And in the 1970's , their newer cousins: International model 706, and 1466 ) Glad to see that people are taking the time to bring several of these tractors "back to life" with some work and care.
