Farmall H Oil Change & Getting Ready For Spring

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Nothing beats a tractor; the only motorized equipment designed to run every day with little maintenance, and to last longer than you are likely to live.

[@lawrencepevitts2434]

Funny to see a high tech mechanic like you working on antique equipment.

[@basshunter428]

Having any machine these days that doesn't require a code scanner or scope is a blessing! Old iron is so reliable! My father used to say, "If I wanted plastic and wires, I would've bought a toy!"

[@leswebb311]

Beautiful place Eric you and the Mrs got God bless

[@dalesparks8512]

When I was 12 (1964), I drove my uncle's H...great memory

[@dmcarpenter2470]

Eric, thanks for the time trip. I grew up around red tractors, a 39 M, which was built to run on kerosene, a couple Super As, and a couple Cubs.

[@scottcurry479]

I really can't believe everyone commentting has missed the biggest surprise. I have never, nor do I even know anybody who has ever seen one of these old Farmalls that had ....... working brakes. Good Job.

[@stuemany]

I live in NY and also have an old tractor. I’m a mechanic on city buses and find work on the old tractor satisfying. You have a nice place.

[@mikesworld60]

Thanks for putting this video back up!

[@shaneharrison4775]

Thank you very enjoyable thanks for haveing us along

[@jamesmiller3297]

Keep that old girl running ,she looks and sounds pretty good. We have a Farmall A , much smaller but still full of that old technology.

[@TheRealEricO]

+James Miller Yeah I am not much of a fan of old cars but I sure like old tractors

[@independentthinker8930]

Brings back memories.

[@jhaedtler]

I'm with you boss! I miss the old days.30 Years ago I taught a friends daughter how to drive a Ford 8N. Then when she was in drivers ed, She was looking at the pedals and the instructor asked what was wrong, She said I was taught with differential breaking. What do I do! He had no idea what the differential breaking was. She taught him it was too funny!

[@KSMike1]

That tractor is gorgeous. That’s the real thunder. You are livin’ the dream.

[@fredcundiff6117]

First off, hello Sheba. You're a very pretty pup, Eliminator Of The Chipmunks. Secondly, Thank You very much for the video. I found it enjoyable and very educational. I'm no farmer either for the record. For me, once I bought my very first 11941 Farmall H, I was hooked. Now, those tractors of yesterday, are in my soul. That's what I enjoy. Yesterday, I bought a 1945 Farmall H with a front loader. I can not wait to dive in. Again, Thank You. I'm looking forward to more videos.

[@edharry3984]

I love International Tractors , I had a small Cub Cadet by International for 30 + years , I sold it to a Farmer for his son , I got what I paid for it , A Bullet Proof Machine ! Thanks Eric for bringing back Good Memories !

[@davidrobins4025]

Bow hunter - My kind of mechanic! My best friend's father had a Super M Farmall - I learned to drive on that tractor when I was about 8 years old. Hauled lots of hay, straw, grain and potatoes. Plowed and harrowed most of the fields on his 150 acre farm. Loved every minute of it through my early teen years.

[@mickeymelton1206]

Just shows no matter where you go a country boy is a country boy!! love both of your channels thanks for sharing what you do!!

[@spaceinvadertoo]

So gratifying to see a dedicated professional who cares for his tools and himself as much as he cares for the customer.

[@iannamico]

only Eric could make greasing and changing the oil in a 71 year old tractor interesting. Great video!

[@ejdiii333]

Thank you! the only video out here that actually shows where to add the oil, you get a gold seal in my book for showing the complete task from start to finish, you don't assume that anything is obvious, which nothing is to people who are new to anything. Great video!

[@rmiller6483]

We need some more FARMALL VIDEOS. That tractor is freakin awesome eric... for sure that tractor is true American history... 👍👍👍

[@Eremon1]

Old machines are really fascinating! They don't build them like they used too. Love to see that engine overhaul on that tractor as a video.

[@jacobfoxworth]

Awesome video Eric! Those wet filters are truly awesome. Got an old Ford 3000 that uses the same type of air filter and it works amazingly well.

[@TheRealEricO]

Thanks 👍

[@wammyz]

No wonder Sheba sleeps so much at the shop, she runs around like a squirrel on crack at home! Nice place you have, nothing but desert where I'm at - thanks for sharing with us.

[@craig9802]

I grew up on 80 acres in Iowa and learned to drive on a Farmall H and an M. Thanks for the memories!

[@warrenlowe2177]

Hey Eric, I just watched this episode .I work with an 85 year old fella in Australia I grew up with his son. Well he owns an old H ,he has had it for as long as I can remember. I think he just runs it once a year or so now. Love your work.

[@kenttaylor3388]

Tractors hunting and outdoors if there is any off roading this may be the perfect channel .

[@TheRealEricO]

+Kent Taylor Well ya never know what will happen haha

[@davidk7324]

One year in with SMA and I just found my favorite video. Thanks for bringing us along, Eric.

[@djhaloeight]

Just found this channel! I love SMA and it’s great to see what kinda life you have outside of the shop! Outdoorsman, hunter, great family man, business owner, amateur farmer...is there anything you don’t do?! Love it. Beautiful property too! Keep it up Eric!

[@erickdanielsson6710]

Thanks Eric, This takes me back 60 years.

[@JeffWinter1]

She's liv'in a sweat life now. She just had an Eric O Spa treatment. Love chang'in the fluids in my machines. You be nice to them and they'll look after you for years. 🔧

[@dougtexas]

Eric, man you get my respect. Brought me back to my youth. That tractor was state of the art back when I was young. The products from the 30's-50's were built to be the only one you would own for life! My father taught us all about "the good old days" (1920's and 30's) being raised on a scrub farm in Nebraska. Then moved to the west coast and grew almonds and general farming. You've got a nice spread going there. Good luck!

[@jennifergrunert6815]

Good video. However at 26:28 the oil filter is in the canister upside down. Big tapered edge of oil filter goes into flange on oil filter casting of engine. Keep up the great work!

[@ElmoIsBold]

I just did one (same filter - 376374R91 or Wix 51172) this morning on my Farmall 300, and noticed this as well. I bought a very nice original operators manual off eBay 5+ years ago, and the manual has a photo that shows it like you described it.

[@kerrycomstock9220]

Cool tractor and perfect description of the feeling of the old, simple and awesome machines of the past!

[@stevewodell6183]

Well there is something to be said for simplicity in machinery. There is a reason why people love those old cars from the 60's and 70's. Easy to maintain and easy to fix.

[@davidrasch3082]

My first car was a used '64 Chevy Nova-plugs, points and condenser!

[@thomasfletcher760]

@@davidrasch3082 , mine was a 63 Ford pickup , 300 straight 6 with the 3 on the tree . Miss that old truck

[@davidrasch3082]

@@thomasfletcher760 You could fix them! Cheap.

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

I have a '68 Dodge Power Wagon. I got rid of the points and I'm using a mopar performance electronic ignition kit. Comes with a recurved distributor and the orange brain box. Has been running trouble free now for 17 years. About 10 years ago I had to replace the voltage regulator. Napa's eklin regulator was chinese junk and wouldn't work for more than a couple of days before the points quit. I exchanged all 3 they had in stock. That's when I decided to go with an electronic voltage regulator. It's been working great for 10 years now, except my amp guage always shows a slight discharge even though there's 14 volts at the battery. No way I'll go back to points.

[@jimbuford4147]

My first farm tractor was a Super H 45 years ago. Good tractors. Love those videos outside the shop as well as inside.

[@kellykonoske91]

Nothing like an upturned exhaust with a rain cap flapping. Makes me nostalgic. Course I drove a lot of trucks with that sound!

[@larrylund2682]

I loved the H. Spent most of my teen years behind a H riding the hay rack. We called it the Hummingbird because of the sound when running wide open in road gear. Pure music.

[@BobsGT235]

First time I have seen this type of video from you. For some reason, I really enjoyed it.

[@frostfirei]

This video, gives me a twinge of nostalgia. My father had to fix alot of old truck and tractors, from the 40's and 50"s. BTW, I just passed 68, last year, November!

[@BucketList22]

Beautiful place Eric. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more!

[@547Rick]

GREAT VIDEO!! Thanks for taking me along!

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Eric! Didn't know you owned a 1945 Farmall International H. Brought back memories of cranking -- by hand -- my grandfather's 1951 International H. Your girl looks really good for her age, lol.

[@trryhin]

So glad I came across the SMA channel. Not only did it show me how to pull the dash on my Ram truck, it was entertaining. Now I have another channel to watch!

[@TheRealEricO]

Haha nice glad we could help :)

[@sneakysnake109]

Wow Eric, you have a beautiful place and I love the tractor. I can see why you like it there so much. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrMaxeemum]

Dude you are a lucky boy. Beautiful family, home and business. Thanks for the vids.

[@peterhodgkins6985]

That's a dandy old H model!! I keep an old '73 Jeep around so my old Marquette dwell meter and Snap On timing light have something to do once in a while! ;)

[@halfanacrefarms2375]

word of advice when turning these old girls turn while your moving or before you turn because if you turn while stopped you can bend or break the steering knuckle

[@jameshedrick605]

I remember rebuilding a 1949 Farmall my 11th grade year when i was taking auto mechanics. We had to replace the cylinder sleeves and polish the crank. Never did get to see it start up

[@moparnut6286]

As a kid who was born and grew up in Bronx N.Y. I love this........now since being transplanted to south jersey. I just love not being in a city and never going back! I used to work in a cemetery about 8 acres in south jersey, and the deer would just come up and eat on the evergreens and not get spooked by humans.

[@donaldmiller3064]

Nothing like the sound of those old machines....

I wish I could sit there and watch the sun chase the the day gon what a peaceful place heaven a cool breeze on a worm night thank you Mr Mrs o for what you do ......kelly

[@johnaclark1]

Sweet tractor! I was getting pretty worried for the new channel when I didn't see any brake parts cleaner come out for the dirty air filter. Fortunately, the video was saved at the oil filter change! High quality video, as always. Great to be along for the ride!

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Love those old simple machines. My daily is a 1980 Chevy c20. Great truck.

[@stoneblue1795]

Nice tractor, looks well maintained. Like large sewing machines, they are quite simple yet fascinating because of their age and the thought that went into this era of American engineering.

That's a nice view of the lake and woods

You are making me miss my place I had with 1.5 acres and a Farmall Cub!

Took plenty of trips, family, friends, scouting up into upstate NY. Truly beautiful up there. Love your cabin and pond. Have a hard time getting me off the porch with my camera. 😁👍❤️

[@tschaderdstrom2145]

Tractors are really fun. I learned to drive tractor around 10 years old, before learning to drive a standard transmission truck around 12. Lots of fun putting around through my grandfather's back 80.

[@outbackcountry512]

I'm Damm jealous now , what sweet place you got in the country , I'd never have to leave the land to hunt , fish or trap !

[@kenwilcox9337]

I can almost smell that Alfala falling over the cycle mower, I would cut and brouther would rake, we both drove an H. ## Thanks for this memory!!

[@markwheeler202]

Great video! Takes me back to my younger days in western Wisconsin when I spent several thousand hours on my dad's 1941 Farmall H, which he bought in the mid-60's. It's in the shed now, and has probably only been run a couple times since he passed away five years ago. The engine could use an overhaul, and the tires are flat. Bums me out, what can I say. Would love to see it brought back to life again. The original tractor came with steel wheels, but rubberized rims were welded onto the old hubs. No iron weights - salt solution in the tire inner tubes instead to add some weight. Nasty stuff, and highly corrosive. Two years ago my wife and I were visiting friends in a tiny little town in France (Sissieu, about 30 miles east of Lyon). They were having their annual tractor parade and, sure enough, someone drove by with a Farmall H. Very cool!

[@johnwallace8824]

I agree with getting back to the old basics . I am getting on and I really enjoyed watching the old way we used to live .I recall having to install crank bearings in a 1940 John deere B tractor and it took about 3 hours to be running out in the flieds again ,Life wasn't about speed and turbos but more about just getting the job done. Eric thanks for remembering the important things in life as I sure enjoy all your videos.

[@bogoto247]

Dad bought one of these H farmall's brand new in 1941. Had it the rest of his life.

[@laohantun7404]

Absolutely lovely video, have a break in the country, after tiring days.....

[@jamesshantie1923]

I love those old tractors. My dad and I had a super M farmall we used for skidding logs for years. We ended up selling it to a collector who was going to try and restore it.
