I'll tell you something or another I'm a mechanic 30 years even a KZbinr and a small engine repair business but the dude working the choke and throttle at the same time made the same mistake every mechanic makes by having the firing order off but that's a young mechanic right there sir

[@dougvanausdal3162]

It's always nice to see something that old come back to life ,

[@StewartsGarage]

Thank You All For Watching. I apologize for the 3 short spots in the video missing audio. Also don't heat up your easy outs, take care.

[@easternWashington.]

Good work gentlemen, definitely a project worthy of restoration.

[@bigmotter001]

Nice collective effort to get her up and running! Interesting story on the background sales campaign! Thanks for posting and looking forward to your next video. Take care!

[@jesterr7133]

We have a 1938 John Deere tractor that has been in my family since it was new. It belonged to my grandfather, and then my father. My father abandoned it somewhere and it was inoperable for about 15 years before my cousin managed to locate and recover it. He had it running again last time i talked to him. It is really fun keeping something alive in the family like that. I am currently renovating a house that has been in the other side of my family since the 1940s.

[@CannonMusic05]

I love these old tractor revivals keep them coming

[@dispatch444]

I’d say those ants were slightly pissed.

[@ozzyfranf]

You guys fought through adversity and came out the other end winners!!

[@katecoombes1000]

I absolutely love tractor revivals. One day I keep saying to myself that I will find an old paddock tractor and get her running again. My all time tractor I would like to do is a Massey Ferguson TE20. Great video guys.

[@Steeledawg]

I admire what y’all have accomplished. I grew up driving a Cub and cutting with the woods belly mower. Lots of fond memories.

[@ariellelapierre6163]

Awesome! Would personally love to see a complete restoration series!

[@keithwarkentin]

I think James is the real hero he completely stoled the show every time he came along everything started going better and when he took a break that’s when things went south! He brought energy and hope to the whole situation so he should really be compensated accordingly and it should be tax free cash! 😂😂😂😂 Great video guys really cool that it’s a family heirloom and she really deserves to be completely restored keep that old iron running!😀🇨🇦

[@allengross8465]

I think my heart broke a little bit along with that extractor. They weren't my grandfather's at all, I can only imagine that moment of realization.

[@OpahYahh]

Happy family...love it

[@lsbraswell]

I just got a Cub myself. I'm having to do a lot of the same stuff yall did. Thanks for the great video! Always so exciting when it pops off for the first time!

[@HipaParts]

Awesome tractor restoration video. It's amazing to see the 73 year old tractor come back to life.

[@steveschritz1823]

I spent many years of my childhood operating a Farmall. Super A, It did a fantastic job mowing around the fields. The old girl still runs last I knew.

[@justinphillips6136]

What a story. Good luck putting that old girl together.

[@blastingweevil2968]

i have worked on cars/trucks ect for over 40 years and i have only ever used a so called "Easy out" once and never have i used once since they break off in the hole all the time if you can drill the bolt for an easy out your better off drilling the whole bolt out.

[@anthonyboucher6310]

Nice one. Well done!!!

[@estebanrodriguez6660]

Good restoration engine Cheers from argentina

[@stevefarms7494]

Cubs are great little tractor my grandfather had one and he loved it and I will be buying one soon.... Great video thank you for sharing

[@solobikerman]

You and your dad interaction is the best is see ever.

[@jeanlawson9133]

I have had to blow out so many head bolts and exhaust bolts with a Oxygen and Acetylene torch over this kind of situation and I never cut a thread.... Ancient Chinese secret...😎 Good work....that's the correct way to do it...Shows your character... Never quit... I was serious about the torch I have literally done Thousands.... Cadillac, Motorhome,, Buick Pontiac And Big Blocks especially..

[@MyUsername-qt5tr]

46:37 Every gear/motor head know this feeling... It's the best!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

It runs! That Vette is identical to the one we babysat for a few months in 1979 for my father's co-worker who was on TDY overseas. I burnt my legs several times on those side pipes. I'm pretty sure it was a 1975. That car was immaculate. The paint shone and it had a beautiful tan interior.

[@donaldstevenson2475]

Just a funny story for this post ,a good friend Larry ,while working at an air line was taken from mechanical work to doing painting of equipment, not a painter ,he filled a paint gun and sprayed it total yellow no masking what so ever. It looked great but all signs and glass were cover in aircraft paint from tires to dash to seat cushions,and all dials .

[@janbill79]

mine ( I bought a project cub) with the some valves stuck just like that . Mine sat in a Tabaco shed for 40 years. It would of never come loose with out pounding on the pistons with wood block and spending a whole lot of time loosening & replacing the ones I broke off trying to remove just like you guys. But I did learn a lot from unlocking it and grinding rust out of valve seats/ still don't have enough compression to start with the starter withy out starting fluid. my rings probably stuck in, or I need more work on grinding valve seats as mine were pretty pitted

[@toddfryman6178]

Love to see you get it restored

[@ScottWM54]

Set points the thickness of a business card. Never failed......

[@garymccord4277]

Never give up and you guys never gave up and now have aa running piece of history.

[@larrykrise3609]

always glad to see the old ones come back.i had a 1941 cub yrs ago.

[@BearCat459]

Sure it wasn’t an A? Cubs didn’t come out until 1947.

[@gordonagent7037]

Hey boys, really enjoyed your video and fix, got to love and enthusiastic crew who won’t quit.

[@johnevon3030]

LOL, I don't know what ants love about old tractor distributers, growing up we had an old case that would set a lot and every time we go start it the ants had be cleared out first.

[@jdggames]

This was a great video guys. I’m glad this popped up in my recommended section. All the best from the UK!

[@timothymichaelgoff2715]

I like your team effort; a lot of collective knowledge.

[@geraldingram9351]

Have just found your channel, I love backyard motor work,ie tractors, bulldozers, motorcycles, trucks and car engines. Gerald. New Zealand.

[@tubeDude48]

Lessons learned...hay boys? Hope you will continue to do more video's on this baby!

[@davidfist7801]

Definitely worth restoring!

[@LewisSewell-hf6lx]

Beautiful looking tracker i love it

[@JustanOlGuy]

An hour well spent thank you fer sharing.

[@brentbosworth8845]

Nice job guys, Just a suggestion on the drilling of hard materials, Carbide drill or carbide tip drill will do it easier. I have done this many times for customers in my 50 years as a machinist. But, Some are extremely stubborn. I have even removed some in a milling machine again with carbide end mills. Also, if you can locate them, left hand drill bits will work... sometimes... it will work similar to an EZ-Out when the middle of the bolt is gone.

[@timothymichaelgoff2715]

I like your video because you’re still happy dispite amazing odds 😊

[@timothymichaelgoff2715]

I think it’s worthy of restoration too 😏

[@juliocesarcosta3251]

Very well , fantastic ....

[@trentenfarmer8325]

Now to get new tires and make it able to mow again

[@marvinjames2766]

You guys did a very good job.!

[@tn65s]

A mixture of acetone and ATF is the best penetrant for rusted nuts and bolts. 50:50 mixture in a plastic squrt bottle will loosen all stuck parts.

[@garypoland5288]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, glad it worked out!

[@majicmancoo]

way to keep at it,guys. sounds good

[@TF856]

That sounds similar to a salesman sample. Many decades ago salesman samples were fully functional miniatures of the real product. A salesman could take several samples cross-country on horseback and take orders. Those are extremely collectible nowadays. I have seen salesman sample wall clocks. They are adorable but very small.

[@rickiespradlin3586]

Just good quality

[@harleyb-ham266]

Fantastic video. As real as it gets and enjoyed every second of it!!

[@andrewbridges8270]

That was awesome would love to see how it looks after a total restoration cheers from Canada😁👏

[@Pallanamnjavelet]

In Sweden there are two rules to tractors. If it's a Farmall or Bolinder Munktell, it will most likely start. And also most likely plow a huge field right after, no problems. My BM 36 was the most powerful tractor in the world at it's launch in 1952 with it's massive 43hp. Still going strong. And my uncle still has my grandfathers Farmall F-14, that he bought used in the 40's. It's had a full restoration now, and looks like new. But it worked the fields for it's entire life, and still does, though mostly on plowingmeets today. These machines where made to work, and if you do, they will!

[@kirk467]

Can’t expect to get her going in high gear with that tire! Awesome job and awesome machine! I’ve driven one and cut grass with one too?

[@neilhansen5663]

What a little gem

[@jamessmith7691]

Good video boys. It's a good way to enjoy family.

[@rogerferris3720]

Brilliant, I love to see the old machines run again. I think you may want a new tyre or four, the rear left was looking a tad soft come the end. Lol.

[@jeanlawson9133]

I like your video and work ethic... Such good humor, Stupid Tax drawing interest.. AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😜 lols.... We've all paid those taxes...

[@brian3013]

Awesome guys . I think you have a low tire😂. Can’t wait to see this beauty restored

[@mick00000000002]

Your bore guys. Hats of for trying everything. I smile. Great job. God bless. Mick Australia. Thumps up 👍

[@mikeconner5119]

that was one heart fought battle awsome job guys hope to see a complete resto on that little beutty

[@mhughes1160]

That’s the finest example of a Hoyt-Clagwell tractor I’ve seen in a while . LoL 😂 Green Acres is the place for me 🎶🎵

[@tenthousanddays2103]

I'LL pencil you in for a radiator repair.🤣

[@Daves-hereagain]

I had a 2016 Massey Ferguson like yours the front differential locked up with only 300 hours because it never had any oil from the manufacturer. I was able to get ahold of the dealer who got a dealer from another state and it was repaired free of charge

[@Telephony954]

Way to go guys. what a piece of, well art. that was fun. Be well.

[@mikewalter7851]

I knew a guy who had one. They were also known as a Farmall ghost.

[@jonoffensend7519]

Greatly enjoyed this video, my experience has been with ford 8n’s and model T fords so I’ve been there , done that with most of the problems you came across 👍😁🎩

[@rbtgmnstcs]

When dealing with broken and stuck bolts. A combination of heat, penetrating oil and freezing spray can get most of them out. If you have room for drilling with a guide like that pipe, you have a very good chance of getting it loose. Just be patient and continue with the heat/cold in cycles. Sometimes it can help to give the drilled bolt a tap when it's as cold as it gets.

[@georgebrooks1077]

I had a 1949 Farmall myself and it would even start in the middle of winter on the first try

[@lyleminyard2308]

Hell yeah, restore it. That was a great video. Thanks for making it.

[@rogergreenwood3409]

that backfire was a giveaway good job all round

[@tectalabyss]

Great job ! I have used Bondo on fuel tanks and Radiators ,in a pinch. It worked Hope this tip may help. Liked and shared. All my best.

[@justinjdavis79]

Nice job guys

[@hardball107]

You guys get an "A" for effort and far be it from me to be critical of anything that worked but never use Never-Seize on head bolts. It reduces the friction so much when tightening that you need to reduce your torque by 40%, ask me how I know on the first big block Chevy I built and stretched the head bolts so bad the gasket wouldn't seal. I use Teflon thread sealant or ARP Ultra-Torque thread lube on the bolts especially if they thread into a water jacket. With those Grade 9 bolts I was cringing as I watched expecting one to break or strip. Good job though. By the way, 12v is OK on a 6v system, 6v runs on higher amperage and is very capable of the lower amps of a 12v system.

[@gsftom]

Keep making the videos. U are an undiscovered rockstar. Keep the videos coming and ppl will find u.

[@somerandomguy3868]

She fought all the way, congratulations and it sounded pretty good

[@worldcooking]

What an interesting agricultural machine!

[@jackempson3044]

I'd like to see that restored.

[@allensnook7760]

Dont you just hate that newtons law,make a half hr job into days.love seeing your familys smiles n struggles to overcome obstacles.plus its funny listing to you guys busting each others balls.!!all in good fun though.snooky pa.😊😊😊

"we all have our vices" lmao, 100% dad joke

[@charlescroney2742]

Good job

[@kandkmotorsports]

Great video! 5:25 been there!!

[@Highlordratick]

A valve job worthy of Morske.

[@raymondbrown2112]

I enjoyed this video I knew you could do it< I hope one day you will be able to restore this, I look forward tom seeing more.

[@frontagulus]

"Kinda dangerous but whatever.." I like your attitude son! : )

[@dangatto8666]

I had a 29 pontiac with a hole in the honeycomb radiator. I used jb weld on a q-tip, Ilasted 10 years and held when I sold it.

[@bobbofly]

@ 35:38 Yep, that's the thing about anti seize. it do gets on every little thing, yourself included. I just got through replacing the cracked exhaust log on my 98 Altima & ended up pretty much looking like the tin man from Oz. Fine by me, though. One day when it needs to come back apart - and one day it will - I know the fastener threads won't gall up on me.

[@79tazman]

Funny how things will run when you got the firing order right. As soon as I saw it popping out the carb I knew the firing order was off but there was no sense yelling at the TV because you were not going to listen anyway LOL! Congrats on getting the old girl running. Those old flathead engines are die hards

[@WaynesAdventure]

Awesome

[@ScottWM54]

Boys got the fever........nice job......

[@nigelbiscombe9199]

Thermal Syphon is what it does with the coolant and having no water pump.

[@robertlandry8693]

Love the vids. If you want a surprise, price those headbolts from CNH!

[@xtbuff1008]

When that thing kept blowing back through the carb I knew the ignition wasn't right.

[@tedwpx123]

The best part is the pencil radiator repair

[@hoovercamaro]

😂 i could hear from the first time they spun it over with the head back on that the Timing was messed up lol

[@ozarkarky]

Enjoyed the video. That deserves 2 thumbs up 👍👍. Looking forward to the restoration.

[@nickrolfe367]

Great video, I'm almost finished restoring my '51' Ferguson TED20 and things never go straightforward.
