[@wshr1032]

Farmall H. Almost 400,000 built. Good, simple start. Reliable, dependable, easy to fix also very easy to get parts for. 7 foot disk is about perfect for it

[@JunkyardDigs]

We were only able to get our hands on a 10-footer, but I think we can run the discs straight or dig out the nitrous bottles and still get it done 🤘

[@wshr1032]

I think it should most likely handle it fine, maybe play around with the depth of the disk a bit but if not than like you said break out the nitrous bottles 😂

[@TheOAOMunchMunch]

@@JunkyardDigs depending on the weight of the disk, fill the back tires with fluid. You already have a set of weights on the back but the more is better, it will give you more traction to pull the disk better.

[@MaxGiganteum]

@ Trilogy Jack Do NOT put liquids into the tires! Unless of course you're looking to rot out the rims!! Attach dead weight to the exterior of the rims, to the bottom of the tractor itself or both. Is it possible to put a liquid into the tires that isn't an oxidizer and which won't rot out the rims or have an effect on the tires themselves? Yes but the expense most likely won't be worth attaining it. There's also the leak factor. Adding any liquid into the tires then pressurizing them gives rise to the liquid escaping. I urge everyone who is thinking of installing water to rethink it. It's a bad idea from square one! Peace & good vibes! 🤔 👨‍🔬 👨‍🔧 🇺🇲 🚜 - Max Giganteum

[@PickupsAreNotTrucks]

I’m 29. I ran a handful of these as a kid (they were old then) and they never die. Absolutely incredible tractors. For the 4-5 shift, pull it outa 4 with no clutch and drop the throttle to idle, it’ll fall right into the next gear. When you get good, you can shift them without the clutch through all gears, just like a semi truck. Be safe, many of them tractors have tipped over. Never had it happen to me, thank god. Cool video guys!

Pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Although we did also jurry rig a foot throttle as well later on.

[@pslowazo]

@@willemkauffeld7679 Grew up with Farmall M, H, BN, and A. Timing your shifting was a learned skill. Once you got it it was easy. Shifting on hills was an issue. Learned to shift down B4 so you didn't have to do it while going up (or down) but if you clutched and shifter quickly it could be done second nature. Cars of that era had the same issue ... you just learned how to drive.

[@willemkauffeld7679]

@@pslowazo I find it easier to do on cars because you have foot controlled throttle while on many tractors you only have the cruise control lever, which you can't actuate at the same time as the shifter since you need to keep one hand on the wheel.

The jump between 4th and 5th on those old farmalls is pretty big. The Hs really don't have enough power to start in 5th especially if you have an implement behind them. You can shift them on the fly but you need to double clutch between gears. With a little practice you'll be able to shift from 4th to 5th without grinding.

Love this! I grew up on a farm in New Zealand and we had tractors similar to this! One thing I would note from the video, at about the 37 minute mark when you've hooked up the external fuel tank then standing beside it to start it, (between the rear wheel and the body), that is rather dangerous, if it somehow managed to jump into gear then it could cause you injury. I'm sure you both are well aware of the dangers and ensure that neutral is selected etc but always keep your safety as number one! And on a lighter note.......hurry up with episode 2! 🤣🤣🤣

[@thomaswermager1819]

Thanks for the different revival! Those old tractors are pretty bulletproof, kinda hard to kill! A word of caution, and I’m sure Angus might be able to agree with this. What you’ve got there is a narrow front end not a “row crop” wide front end. Depending on what you’re doing that narrow front end can make driving that thing a little dangerous. They can tip over kinda easy if the front end gets down in a furrow while you are turning. Those H’s came with a OEM wide front end. Maybe the fellow you got it from has one in the barn or out in the weeds somewhere. Good luck, look forward to seeing more of your overall games!

[@CottonFarmer667]

That narrow front end is very much a "row crop" front end. Yes, they could and did turn over but in truth that was not a big issue unless the operator put the tractor into a precarious position where roll over was a possibility. In normal operation that was not a big concern. I have driven an H and also it's big brother the M and Super M for many hours. My dad had a front end 4 row cultivator on our M that I think only would work with a narrow front end. He also had an H which he used as his planting tractor. Those narrow front ends made excellent thumb busters, especially when a cultivator was mounted. After one broken thumb, one quickly learned to drive these tractors with the thumb and fingers on the same side of the steering wheel rim. Not sure but I think the H was rated at about 25 hp and the M came in at 35 to 45 depending on whether it was a Super M or not. Those tractors, if maintained were indeed bullet proof and would provide many hours of trouble free operation. I would strongly suggest draining out the 90W oil in the rear end, and flushing it our thoroughly. You might even have to pull the top deck off the rear end (not as big a deal as one would think) to get out all that rusty sludge otherwise you will be facing transmission bearing failures in the near future. Again, not as big a deal as one would think but definitely a bigger deal than pulling the top deck and cleaning it out. Enjoyed the video and I will be back to see if you get the crop in on time.

Awesome, probably the #1 favourite of all your videos so far! Two tips though: you don't have the torque to start in 5th, I'd say 2nd, 4th, 5th, or even just 3rd to 5th. Might have to double clutch also. Secondly, there's probably a metal screen filter in the carb where the fuel line enters that's going to be needing a clean Edit: and this reminds me of my late dad's Ford and cockschutt tractors

Love it, as an old Iowa farm boy, I really enjoyed watching, can’t wait for the rest of the series on this. Keep on doing what you’re doing.

[@smalltownadventures6542]

Those old farmalls are great tractors! I have a few down here in Kansas and love them

[@joshshuckahosee7942]

Topeka here

[@derekvandyke5132]

Ok just know u can drive all the road I've been driving tractors since 10 stay in the lane unless someone is coming

[@SuperNoticer]

5 minutes in and I already guarantee it's gonna be a runner. I've had great success starting with much worse.

[@mattorman5640]

I can’t wait to see the full series! I really love reviving old vehicles and also enjoy farming really enjoy farming. I’ve always grown up in the county of south/central Indiana

[@robertlong7033]

What I can't get over is how good a shape the tires are in after sitting out in the weather all those years.

[@nubi78]

They look good because these guys moved a tractor into the field.

[@RosarioSound]

Yet another great episode. Angus' humor is brilliant. It's been said before, but the dynamics make half of the entertainment. 👍

[@lukebehlmann8832]

My dad bought an 8n that had been converted to 12v and the guy hit the lights and blew them out they haven’t worked in years😂

[@sirroadkillgtx8833]

Loved it but every time they turned it around kept me on the edge of my seat. There's a reason why they called tricicle front end tractors deathtraps.

[@pslowazo]

Grew up with M, H, BN. (and an A) and all were like this narrow front end. A lot easier to steer and great in tight spaces but your right that you had to use your head driving them. Never had an issue in with them. Old Sawyer bought the tractors in the 30's and we got them in the 60's when we bought the farm. The next guy that bought the farm sold the M but kept the H and BN and now the farm just sold again and they are still going without an issue.

[@kylemiller3028]

This has been by far your best video. I cannot wait for the rest of this series! Mostly excited for a combine revival!

[@SpyderGarage]

Man this makes me want to go out and find one of these and get it going for my Dad. He grew up farming with an H as a kid and it would make his world to be on one again. Great job guys.

[@jamiekatz7591]

All those tools and you don't have a saw or hatchet... really?

[@johnathancrotzer5491]

hay just a suggestion if you find a good tractor and harvester I would keep those two but try to find ones to use every time because that stuff can be hard to find

[@everettplummer9725]

Brings back memories. It's like the big brother Farmall, to our F-12. Of course we didn't update to the H, because the F-20, was a runner. And when they were sitting out in the clay spinning their wheels, I got the neighbor's F-30, comfy seat in and highway gear.

[@hummerskickass]

Ah yes the Russian Tanks natural predator, the tractor

[@JunkyardDigs]

I need the comments section on this video was going to be good, y'all came out swinging 😂😂

[@MaxGiganteum]

And a natural predator of 'Mater after he accidentally wakes them up!

[@Iowa599]

Don't shift old tractors while moving! There is plenty of torque to start in hi gear, and there are no engagement rings.

[@FarmallForever]

Tell that to the old timers that have been powershifting them for years🤣🤣

[@Ag_n_Mech]

It’s just a non synchronized transmission. You have to match the rpm to the shift but there’s no reason you can’t shift while moving

[@Iowa599]

Exactly! Unless you want to kill it, just go easy on it. Power shifting destroys transmissions! Those old guys that used to, where are their tractors? Rev matching an old tractor is a PITA! Left hand on the governor, right hand on the shifter, left foot on a clutch that needs most of your weight to depress, and what is supposed to control the steering wheel, with no power steering and alignment that isn't exactly adjustable? The new stuff (with P/S, AC, BT, ETC…) it's fuckin easy to slip'em-in, and I drove a 5-spd 240sx for 3mo with no clutch! (shitty "burnout", only clutch smoked, friction disc welded to flywheel :D ).

[@FarmallForever]

@@Iowa599 they're still driving them 🤣🤣 starting from a dead stop in 5th gear will only burn your clutch up.

[@MaxGiganteum]

Like a crafty farmyard cat, double clutch if you're going to shift at speed. 😼

[@mattrehm8612]

39:25 had me cracking up!

[@CihaPet]

I grew up on a farm, here in Iowa, and I didn't even drive a tractor until I was almost 50.

[@riedjacobsen8620]

My memory of driving an H is having a tire fall off while swathing wheat in 1972.

[@Menentios69]

I have a old 70s case from my grandfather, makes me wanna try and bring it back to life

[@nohacksjustparker2744]

Fun fact if you have a part that has ton of gunk or other stuff on it that you just cant seem to get off if you soak it in jet fuel it will clean really well

[@mathiggins4264]

That is cool guys be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska I really do like old tractors

[@igokarts4510]

It's getting warm out. Time to stage 1 that duel engine go kart ;)

[@everettplummer9725]

I think ours had five speeds. The governor didn't work right.

[@garymaze4718]

If it's drivable driving around in a slush oil up around that and it will release that try it
