Engines are one of humans greatest achievements. This things been sitting, rotting for 20 years, thru 100°+ summers, hurricanes, and Florida, and yet the engine is still sealed, and starts right up. Amazing

[@Sapnek]

Unfortunately can't say the same for current engines...

[@klukinbellchikn6824]

What was your idea behind your name?

[@colesteven1123]

@@klukinbellchikn6824 just current toxic shit of its time, people read it as offensive and immediately reply with hate filled comments(has happened since day one, still doesn't bother me lol) Sadly I wouldn't be able to remake a new "current toxic shit" name today because, everyone hates everyone, thanks to unfiltered, mostly political, open forum social media moderated by proudly, and more often than not vocally biased individuals...

[@elirenigar9357]

A ford 4000 is one of the best tractors ever built. I’ve grown up with one. It’s been a faithful servant with no major repairs or issues since 1974

[@yannisgouras4482]

Now that I can get back to the video that I was in the middle of watching when it was so rudely taken down earlier 😆😆

[@MrCatrucker]

It appears to be a grape picker. Very common here in western NY and PA, on the shore of Lake Erie.

[@Armand0011]

Love the flip of the bird on the steering wheel at time 6:22. 😂

[@life_with_ryan]

Coolant is bone dry, we won't run it long. 20 minutes later... she's pissed off says Bruce 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love your videos by the way, I watch every one of them!

[@johnger850305]

I just love these series, more tractors please!

[@waltershulas623]

Hey Bruce that was really nice of you to hook him up like that he always seems like a great guy and an awesome cameraman you’re a good guy you’re a great boss you take care of your people you really appreciate people and that’s That’s why your channel is one of the best on KZbin wish you the best of luck and everything you do God bless and stay safe🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tomlafontaine715]

[@kustommotors8784]

Those were some of the best Ford tractors built. That Select A Shift Transmission was always iffy. There were more bad select a shifts than good ones. I have a friend who has a 4000 select a shift that he mowes with and it operates great.

[@randypattyson6982]

Bruce, I live in western NY and I have seen hundreds of these Chisholm Ryder machines operate in the grape fields on the shores of the great lakes and also the finger lakes of NY. Chisholm Ryder machines were manufactured in Niagara falls NY. I have seen some ford machines but more popular seemed to be the hydro farmall used as the power plant.Also very popular for this region was the Chisholm Ryder green bean harvester.Through the 60s and70s rented land grew hundreds of acres of green beans in this area now changed to corn and soy beans. In that era many even small growers owned their own harvesters, now fleet harvesters appear to be hired to harvest the smaller farms. Grape harvest will be starting soon and you probably could see a few of these old machines working today.

[@deere7227]

Worked summer, fall 1971 in Wasco Ca on experimental harvester

[@treya2403]

Depending how much I’d really like to have that old tractor I could definitely use it but the chore of fixing it would be the kicker

[@colesteven1123]

Ditch that garbage Trans and ur golden. Got a engine that will run longer than we will live

[@phillipthebigj8971]

Ryan was proper chocked up there really nice surprise for him, loving the vids 🤘

[@jonniessink1]

I have a ford 4200 series hi crop with the select-o-shift. It sat for over 10 years, put a fresh battery in and it started in less then 3 rotations. There is a lever on the side of the tractor that unlocks the rear end from the trans so you can move it when it is "dead" or will NOT move. You will be dragging dead weight. On the shift lever - the it is made out of pot aluminum and is friction fit together so be carefull when fiddling around with it.

[@mwnciboo]

Those old Fords... are amazing machines

[@davidmilhouscarter8198]

2:07 At least the tractor has a fire extinguisher.

[@paulprillwitz9901]

That is a ford selico speed trasnsmission if it works it should be ok . if it don't work the shift cable is broke for the handle to the trans. If that not it on the lower right side of the trans there should be a small lever work that up & down one way or the other is a neutral for that trans. If none of that works the input shaft is broke and clutch packs are junk!! I think in 1986 my repair bill was like $ 5600.00!! I fixed it once. The next time I replaced it with a ford 8 speed trans. GOOD LUCK

[@ktmsucksass]

Please do more tractors and equipment. These videos are awesome

[@lsswappedcessna]

That engine's a sweetheart, as ole Peg would say. Definitely deserves a new life. With fluid looking like that, the trans is probably a paperweight.

[@CorvetteBill364]

That was great Bryan. That was great just shows you appreciate hard work and the kind of follow I would do business with.

[@lsbraswell]

Chisholm-Ryder made all types of conversions for specific farming needs. I believe they even made a Christmas tree conversion for a Farmall C.

[@blairtuckey9045]

Cool video, thanks for going the extra mile and finding video of it actually working.

[@mikenatale5269]

Yes take care of your people! Great what you did for Ryan.

[@onthechip6739]

My boss should take notes from you Bruce! Keep up the good work

[@casperrr3924]

8:08 that’s a beat!!

[@joshscott9661]

"radiators bone dry, we just won't run it long" proceeds to run it for a half hour.. 😂

[@jibba771]

My thoughts exactly

[@bradrick2513]

Maken tractors great agian keep it up Bruce always worth watching. I still got your first will it start shirt

[@tyronejohns9217]

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great Will it start video Bruce that's one interesting tractor. Glad Ryan likes his new RC Square body toy truck.

[@He11Raiser4Life1]

Bruce! Just wanted to say love your videos and glad you put out lots of content!

[@justinstaats9894]

Bruce that rc is a gift that will keep on giving more than a bonus that's pretty awesome 2 thumbs up brother

[@danielperez100]

Very nice shows how much you appreciate him

[@BrandonF601]

Awesome job brother. Had a similar unit on our blueberry farm.

[@mathewbackus2192]

I have one of these in my yard it's a Chrisholm Ryder and that is a select-o-speed

[@hornytinman5447]

It's too bad you won't go out of state we got a nice Deutz farr tractor over here in PA that's completely covered in Weeds you can barely see it from the road (my apologies if I got the spelling wrong)

[@michaelanthony3816]

Fix the cable. The other end is controling movement maybe by valve. Good luck

[@travismoon5290]

Wow that ran really good actually. Ive never seen a tractor like that in my life.. Very cool though

[@Darylatlarge]

One cool tractor !! A lot of ingenuity .

[@johnhicks735]

Bruce you should get it. & Fix it back up to either sale.,or use it for what it was designed for. I'd buy it fixit up & resale it for farming usage again to. Cause that's about to become A main resource for our country again here now for sure to Bruce.

[@michaelayearout1631]

old school blueberry mechanical harvester the new ones are awesome there's one out where I live that has 2 floors on it and its own custom built loading carts that it can lower and raise they have one up the road from me!

[@frankverheijen6018]

This is how I found you Bruce, will it start tractor video's, thanks for the content!!!

[@dieseltech139]

Awesome 👍 content. You are a good man. Ryan is a permanent asset and you work well together!!! ✌️🇺🇸

[@db7059]

These tractors are common here in Australia. Farmers build these tractors themselves.

[@ericgriffin397]

I truly enjoyed that video!! Can't wait to see the next one!!

[@glen511]

That would be cool to see it working again.

[@scottlambert2949]

Y'all really got it started great job guys

[@Seventeen76]

I learned to drive on a tractor like this, same model except it was a regular tractor back on my grandfather's watermelon and sugar cane farm in Crockett Texas.

[@colesteven1123]

Love our watermelon farms here in TX! Bring my 3 boys every year to a local Coop. They love it. Hop on tractors, pick melons etc.

[@luiseldewashington1768]

We use a newer version made by OXBO to pick concord grapes for welch's in Washington state, 3.5tons in 2 minutes 👍

[@stowaway475]

The get packaged and boxed they usually pull a flatbed trailer behind those to stack the boxes or off to the side

[@harlandmcnall2579]

Fix it and turn it into a swamp buggy that be so awesome and heritage to Florida

[@ctrials]

What an awesome advertising display for the shop! Static or working would catch your eye with signage stuck on top of it.

[@billydavidson6109]

Really cool video. You got you a good helper there.

[@geerthovens7071]

We had thesame tractor... they always run!!!

[@nasser0704]

Nice job Bruce from France 🇫🇷

[@timbits.4232]

Nice work Bruce!

[@benjaminstockton3917]

Never seen a machine like that before Bruce pretty neet though appreciate the videos buddy 👍

[@adamorsini4585]

I ordered one of the new Chevy pickup crawlers from my LHS just like the one you got for Ryan.

[@forrest6723]

Let us know when your taking it to Rancho! We will meet you at washout! 😂

[@mjmcomputers]

I’ve got a Ford 2000 tractor, they are good tractors.

[@johnfugate3432]

[@realkilju]

What a cool piece of equipment! Loons like it would never run again

[@Purman99]

i love my little ford 4000 great little tractor not quite as tall tho haha

[@crakkbone8473]

I can’t believe it started

[@doughamm5590]

That's a weird looking piece of equipment. Looks like something that would be on Mad Max. Lol!!! I'd love to find me a RC square body Chevy like that I've had 3 '73, '87, & '80. '80 was only 4x4

[@mitchellstrano8785]

Grape harvester, used for picking wine grapes

[@jakobharris2719]

We all know Bruce needs to buy this.

[@Bruce_Wilson]

No he doesn’t lol

[@jamesbraun9842]

He could put it out front as a display piece

[@wyattearp1372]

Good ole selecto speed transmission

[@1fosteer]

The engine was good but may not be anymore if he didn't add coolant to it.

[@leighsavage3267]

Key chain off the back not just for your car or house keys but for rc cars an trucks as toe straps

[@a456987]

That'd be cool to buy either for the dealership or for use in future videos

[@je9886]

What a great video very cool machine

[@mikecarmel6985]

Used one like it to harvest grapes in ny

[@Masterkill45588]

Gotta say I love a good will it start

[@lloydrobinson7081]

to bad the tractor wouldn't move, keep the clips coming

[@t.c.bowling1934]

That is a selecto speed or as farmers refer to it as "Select your death" because you bump that shifter with your foot getting off while running your ran over!

[@ronaldbaker2019]

When u take it to rancho lmk I wanna go and watch lol

[@kyle.carmichael5856]

[@davidcockrell5683]

Very cool video.. that RC truck is badass. What Brand is that I want one. Love those chevy square body's.

[@chrisstaab8028]

Have you tried the Mikwaukee weed eater? 100% worth it imo

[@impalabrad4445]

That’s a grape harvester used in vineyards. It would’ve had another conveyor to the side to dump into a moving hopper another row over.

[@deere7227]

Unloading conveyor off right side

[@mikeburson3494]

This is awesome

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

O WOW I need freinds like yall. That was awesome and sweet RC truck. #Chevy4Life

[@chrishunt5727]

[@kustommotors8784]

Hey Bruce. What's the dollar amount on the 4000. I have a 8 speed with high/low range that would go great with that front half and make a super tractor.

[@thebigwhitehorse6228]

...an educational vid 👍...
