Big smile while driving that beast. I think you had some fun there. Excellent.

[@michaelguerin56]

Thank you Rachel and Dave. Some nice history preserved here.

[@ShainAndrews]

Rachel, you do a really good job interviewing. I can tell you prepared for it. Dave, you do a really good job presenting. Thanks for sharing your collection and knowledge with us.

[@ChevyConQueso]

Wow. A lot of time and fabrication went into that machine. Awesome find on the 'tube today.

[@w.w.2restorations.vehicles698]

LOVE that Brush-Guard on the ZTX.

[@billyshumate853]

Nice video Rachel. Goes to show how things have changed over the years. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next video.

[@PYDOGMATE]

Nice change of pace from your tutorials. Would enjoy more of this type on collecting and restoring. Your Facebook videos on collections are great also.

[@tiffanyscott4823]

Very well done Rachel - sound and picture quality are amazing, not to mention content! Very refreshing considering the times we are living in. May God continue to keep His hand on you and your family! Now I have to go work on my Farmall 100. In Christ's love, Bobby (Tiffany's husband)

[@carljensen5730]

That just might be the most beautiful tractor ever!

[@ratt727]

Cool collection, rare indeed.

[@robbybachmann332]

[@rogercarrico4975]

Thanks for the field trip out of the shop. These are amazing Mini-Molines! 👏

[@twistedwrenchrepairshop392]

Thank you both for sharing, great collection. Big fan of the Minneapolis Moline & Twin Cities tractors here

[@rolliekirby6889]

Very interesting video, enjoyed it very much, thank you young lady

[@41plymouthnut87]

Great video as usual. Thanks.

[@SC-cz8kq]

Really enjoyed this video.

[@ditzydoo4378]

Love the video. As to cooling, and longevity. I would suggest a complete flush and dry-out of the system followed by using Evans "Waterless-Coolant". This gives a much higher boil point and prevents scaling and rust in the block/radiator. Jay Leno has converted his entire car collection to Evans.

[@robertsmeal8193]

Great video

[@tomhall2364]

Great stuff! I gave up buying two NTX's: one because it was an overpriced wreck and the other because a M-M collector from Arizona heard about it and asked me for info, and he was so super-enthusiastic I figured he would give it much better home and faster restoration (he did!). Interestingly the brush guard appears to be from a GMC ACKX/ACKWX truck, whereas the originals looked more like ones from the Dodge VF-series trucks, but this guard looks much better on the M-M!

[@coreydarr8464]

Sounds good & look s great!!!

[@mathiggins4264]

That's cool 👍 you guys be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska

[@jimcooney9019]

[@modelcitizen72]

Very cool!

[@abdullahiyusuf4543]

Very very good Engineering although The has Fepercated a long time ago And it's very Beautiful and Strong Machine.

[@robertsmeal8193]

Hydrolic lifters fail at high rpm, hence the words valve floating. This is caused by the lifter not staying filled at high rpm this is why they use solid lifters in high rpm engines , because of not having to rely on the fluid to support the lifter.

[@robertsmeal8193]

Great video!

[@northdakotaham1752]

Interesting equipment from MM.

[@geraldharvill4699]

love the history lession

[@darionmcneely8812]

There is actually a black out light for vision and "cat eyes" for distance perception in the dark. If you see one light your far enough away to stop. If you see both lights you are to close in following distance.

[@cmpphilip]

NTX was also in the movie Fighting CBs staring John Wayne, I remember correctly.

[@LtNomad304]

Should have come on down to Ingham county last weekend for the steam tractor show.

[@ron827]

BTW, Camp Ripley is in north central MN and is still an active Army post.

[@deanbarr5740]

That was awesome Rachel. Wonder what kinda ground speed they have.

[@guyina4x499]

Really cool tractors? Well whatever they're cool. Thanks

[@AliHussain-nd7jv]

[@divitdean2359]

Awesome video Rachel !!!!!!!!!!!!! Just wondering if you have ever changed seals in a hydraulic cylinder for a tractor bucket ???????????

[@Laurel-Crowned]

What a woman 💪🏽🙌🏽! The lord bless you and your family 🙏

[@chukingk9918]

Can y'all please make more 8N repair videos they are the best on KZbin

[@chukingk9918]

I have a 8n tractor it doesn't run and I was wondering witch end should I start on the rear end or the front end motor ?

[@stevenww3560]

My farmall m makes a whooshing sound every time I shut it off, plus ut makes a funky hard to examine noise coming mainly from my manifold and muffler . I was told it could be out of time or its a leek in the manifold gaskets? Could you give me ideas please? The m runs great starts up every time not always the first crank doesn't smoke doesn't overheat it runs great . The front does vibrate allot . I just bought it a month ago so still not familiar with it!

[@gwaynel8363]

I love your video's. I live in Greensboro NC and i'm retired. I would love to find a good Cub to use in my Garden. I am looking for a cub with cultivators, a fertilize distributor, possibly a planter. Can you point me in the right direction or do you have a cub to sell that could be shipped to NC? If I find a tractor I'm looking forward to ordering your books. All the best to you and yours.

[@qzorn4440]

wow, now that is a real cab tractor instead ALL these tinker-toy expensive new cabs with half of those poor things with the doors and windows kicked out! shame.:/ and people like Dan & Rachel putting things back together... you go girl... thanks nice vid...:-)

[@xboxbml]

Hey there! Interesting videos.. I’m wondering where you are located. You said in this video you were on SE Michigan.. I believe I went to school with a Gingell who I believe lived in Gingeville. Just wondering if there’s relation there. I checked out your 8N videos. My father in law has a 9N with what he believes is a broken cam shaft.. Can that be replaced out the front without having to totally dismantle it?.

[@abuabdallahalutiby5161]

Nice coverage of this for tractors, but belong to farmers or the army? She is strong

[@gerry343]

5:23 That shift pattern looks really awkward to use!

[@scottosborn4820]

Who gave this video a thumbs down? Come on, show your face.

[@jardiff5983]

Girl has been wearing the same blue button up for over two years. Where can I buy shirts that last so long. My crap blows out after 6 months or so.

[@brianmgrim]

I keep getting distracted wondering if she used a foodsaver to finish the installation of her pantaloons.

[@larryhullinger4141]

An ntx is not a jeep at all
