Finishing the Cooling System, Brakes, and Clutch | Farmall Super C Restoration Episode 14

[@mattsvloggingandgameing4314]

Hello Pete. I just wanted to thank you for the videos. I'm restoring a 1951 Farmall C with my dad. My dad has rebuilt several old tractors but this is my 1st so being able to watch your videos before we start each section has been a huge help for me because I can visually see what we are doing before we start. A huge thank you!!!

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

What more could I ask for, wife made some cinnamon rolls ,so grabbed one of them, my coffee and came down and turned the confusor on and low and behold soon as I booted up YT there was your smiling face on top of the list!. what a way to start the day! My all time favorite video!. Like many viewers I know and appreciate all the work you put into just the video editing formats content etc. its almost as much work as the work on the Super C itself!. and I've done my share of rebuilds to know what you are doing in the background so I can really appreciate your work. And work ethics Pete. you sir do Stellar work. precise, and best of all correct!. Thank you so much for making this old man's day. I can't thank you enough. God Speed. ECF

[@briannelson4493]

When an engineer(s) design a component and there still going strong 50+ years later it says something. And when you consider oils from then and what we have now with all the additives, it’s a great achievement.

[@dannystreet5739]

I have enjoyed the entire restoration; however, I must say the installation of the V-Belts was the best. The fact that I own Belt Warehouse made it special. I had a customer come in Last Thursday to purchase a belt and he said he was converting an old tractor from 6V to 12V. I told him I saw that on "just a few acres farm" and he said you have to be kidding me, he watches as well and that is where he got the motivation to do the project. Pete you are inspiring more than you know. Thanks for the past three years sharing your world - Love It.

[@cecilkoselke7878]

Doing this project makes this Farmall very happy. Even the hanging parts were dancing to the music! Lol

[@earllutz2663]

Thank you again Pete, for another great video. At 74, I believe that I am in your father's age bracket, and although I have some knowledge of mechanics, I've done head/intake manifold work on big block, automobiles, and brake work, plus minor tune ups. I don't believe that I have the knowledge that you do, but I certainly have enjoyed watching you do and explain, about redoing/restoring your tractor. I believe that I have mentioned before, that I have a John Deere 3020. What you did, I wouldn't trust myself to do, and will probably have to pay someone to do, when the time comes. Before I can replace the fuel tank & fix my hydraulic tank, or replace the hose, where it is leaking; but to do what you did, I believe that I will need some help. But thanks again for the video. I have enjoyed watching you over the years, and hope that you will keep putting out more videos.

[@opendstudio7141]

Better than new. I like it when an old tractor can be hand cranked in one or two pulls. 👍😄

[@peterwardle572]

I can personally see why I like you tractor restoration mechanics, it is all understandable engineering mechanics ,it does make me think I would like to restore an old tractor, great stuff.

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

My father in law, who has passed away, had an old John Dierre 1010 which he would take apart & repair. The choke was off a model T. He would love to watch you & relate to what you are doing. I on the other hand love watching this but it is over my head. Thanks for sharing.

[@geoffspitfire5160]

Hiya Pete & Hillary - boy what a joy it is to follow this restoration! Great job! Im from New Zealand and there is quite a few Farmalls all shapes and sizes still around - they have a strong following and many are seen at shows etc. Well done

[@msw00]

Pete you are a master explainer, not many people can explain visually what it takes to disassemble and reassemble. I taught nuclear reactor maintenance, and you just have a gift for visualization and operation that is rare. Very nice job, keep up the good work and have a great day. You, Hill and family have a great holiday season, this is coming on the greatest time of the year, I can't wait.

[@Liberty_DIY]

Not even 3 minutes in and I learned something very interesting about my Super C. Never thought I would have "Change the oil on the fan" on my maintenance list. Thank you for the very detailed videos.

[@PD-yd3fr]

I remember my Grandfather teaching me to drive his farmall, long time ago, bringing back some great memories Pete, thank you

[@samvalentine3206]

A friend of mine's Dad taught me how to use a clutch and shift gears with his old Farmall. It helped me with manual transmissions on cars years later when I got my driver's license!

[@elmerfud44]

Absolute dedication 👏. What a guy. Full time farmer, full time husband father and youtuber. Im in awe of you Pete.. What a life . Please write a book about your life . Probably be a best seller.. 👌

[@fixed970]

Our family farm, where my dad grew up, was powered by a Farmall C. We still have it and it still runs. My uncle rebuilt the engine some 20 yrs ago or so. I just love Farmalls and I love these restoration videos. Thankyou for providing them. It is a wealth of information preserved for posterity!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

I didn't hear you say wakey wakey eggs and bakey, to the Super C when you took the covers off.😆 Looking good, you did a real nice job at painting the old fellow/gal. I know it's lots of work, but to me it looks beautiful, I know you will be so pleased with it once it's finished. Thanks Pete, have a nice day!

[@RatdogDRB]

Love these restoration videos you put out for us, Pete. Love seeing how these old machines work. She's lookin' good.

[@brucerazor5202]

Life has been a bit of a struggle lately so I wanted to say thank you for giving me a little reprieve from it .

[@JAMESRS58]

You make a great teacher Pete ..

[@ZekenStreak]

She’s coming right along Pete. Thank you for including us with the Super C restoration project. It’s going to look great once all back together. Take care & stay safe. Cheers from BC

[@PlaneViewFarm]

Love these old Farmall tractors. My grandfather had a Cub that he used for practically everything on a nearly 240 acre beef farm while the 70 John Deere sat parked next to the barn. Thanks for another great video!

[@guywren4801]

Thanks for taking the extra time to share. People will enjoy these videos for many years to come.

[@graceveenema4762]

I have no idea why I find this tractor project so fascinating…but I do! I’m amazed at your knowledge of every little and big part. I have 3 brothers so did grow up hearing quite a few of the part names but that’s it! No clue what they did. I feel slightly, only slightly, smarter now.

[@mathbrown9099]

Pete, I was disabled some time ago(bus rear-ended my vehicle). Videos like this one relax me so very much. You do such an outstanding job explaining that, if well-bodied, I believe I could watch the vids in succession while assembling a refereed Super C! Thanks, Pete, for being one of my best KZbin friends, Hillarie, too!

[@Old_Dans_Travels]

#1 View! Your restoration videos are very informative and interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Keep 'em coming!

[@devinc923]

Love watching these old farmall restoration videos. I have a dozen old farmalls and ih tractors myself from cubs all the way up to a 1066 and dream of doing this to one someday. Your attention to detail is unmatched. Really appreciate you taking the time to make these for us.

[@Flowing23]

A lot of work, and a lot of patience. Well done Pete

[@dalee.mccombs8571]

Pete, I know a restoration is a monumental task. I appreciate what you do so I can vicariously experience a tractor restoration!! You do an awesome job and explain the operation of the various parts/assemblies so they are understood!! I'll be here for the next step, for sure! Thank you and take care. Dale in Jacksonville, Fl.

[@normahird9059]

Good morning... Sunday morning, drinking coffee and waiting for football to start. Watching your vlogs are so informative and relaxing to watch. Your corny jokes, mooing cows, clucking chickens, college t-shirts, squealing pigs and friendly talk have become treasured moments for me. For this I thank you.

[@PTC61]

Pete, you are amazing. Skill, patience, determination and dedication! I’ve got a handful of tractors from the 40’s and 50’s. They run and are useful but they are not pretty. Well I guess I think they are, but nobody else would think so. Mine are what they are and yours are what the are because you have incredible amounts of skill, patience, dedication and determination!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

It's really looking good Mr. Pete and when you're done you will have tractor that will last you the rest of your lifetime.

[@jackaffleck427]

Pete you make it look easy but I know different. Nice work. Enjoyable video to watch. Thanks Pete !

[@nicfrieler1305]

Really enjoy these restoration videos. I have been working on a 1948 Pickup for 2 years now and every time I watch Your Restoration videos it gets Me motivated to get back at it. Like You I do it during the winter because I'm got lots of other projects to do when it's nice outside.

[@ralphcostello7990]

Good video Peter, she looking so nice now, Ralph from South Wales UK.

[@UCs6ktlulE5BEeb3vBBOu6DQ]

Its so amazing how perfect it is. As I said before; 100 years later and it can be made new again.

[@geraldblackwell1387]

The engineering in that water pump is unbelievable. Can you imagine that today?

[@diamondtman]

Pete My 1934 Diamond T 211 truck with a Hercules Flathead 6 has the same oil fan lubrication system with the sweeper to bring the oil up onto the shaft. It must have worked well because they used it in a wide range of vehicles up until the 60s. Keep up the good work!!!

[@markvittorini5163]

Tractor On! Watching every detail!

[@carolhaskett2133]

Hi Pete, this is David. I've been watching almost from the start but could not comment, until I signed in under my wife's name! I really love your channel, I think I like the videos at market best. Love that there is new life (pigs) on the farm!

[@joefolts6288]

Hey Pete! Nice musical choice as you "danced" among all the parts! Thanks again for your content. Love to see the rebuilds!

[@dmr6640]

Like your how to videos intermixed with farm life videos.

[@keatoncrotchett541]

I love the videos, pete! im excited to see the final product of the super C!

[@allanulen3809]

I enjoy how you show the inner workings of the tractor components. The fan pulley was interesting in the engineering that went into it.

[@benjohnson1082]

Pete - that is one fine looking tractor you have coming together. I enjoy your attention today. Thanks for another great video.

[@richardswartzbaugh929]

Pete, it is always a treat to see one of your restorations. You cover the most important parts that make your videos very informative. Thank you

[@harrisonchevy4452]

Hi Pete, great video on Farmall Super C tractor rebuild. These are the most favorite videos you do on your channel. I really like all of your videos on your farm but these are the best. I have old clocks ⏰ and like and appreciate your clock 🕰 videos too. Hope you, Hillary, and your children have a great thanksgiving. Bless you all.

[@dieseldoctor2221]

Looking good Pete your doing a fine job on the restoration!!!🙂🙂🙂

[@wjgoh653]

my favorite vids. Unlike most out here I already do my farm stuff, I like the rebuilds. I would LOVE to see your dad in action a little more too. Especially when he's doing some projects. The trailer last year (year before?) for your hay transport was awesome. Loved the forks front and back, gave me an innovation idea for a couple of units on my spread.

[@365hillclimb]

I love the winter tractor projects; They make me feel like I'm already invested when you put the tractors to work in the Spring.

[@maddog2771]

I want to thank you Pete for the education on the farmall engines, I have a 1952 Yale forklift with a farmall engine in it and I'm so glad I found your channel and lernd about how to properly maintain it . I never new about greasing the distributor shaft and how to oil the bushings or bearings in the fan I had no idea about those screws that I had to remove to do the proper maintenance .

[@imtimrich]

She’s looking good 👍

[@nickwiseman7770]

Holly smokes Pete! It’s really coming together and I’m so excited to see the final product! I really enjoy these rebuilds! Makes me want to bring a tractor to its former glory! Thanks for yet another great video!

[@MartinP1214]

Thanks for your educational Farmall restoration videos. I might tackle my 1966 656 soon.

[@JamesColeman1]

I hope you do another one after this. It’s really great to see.

[@geralddavenport1182]

Enjoy these as well. I have never done a tear down restoration, mainly just repairing the parts not working and getting it to the point of being a reliable machine to operate. When I have more time I hope to tackle a tear down and restore.

[@lesotwell3561]

Looking good Pete!

[@ralphwood5875]

Great job Pete, it gets Mor red every "C" episode. I'm wondering how the new piglets are settling in but I'm sure we'll see soon enough. Had the 2nd snow this week, not yet a "Winter Wonderland " up here in NB Canada but a start on winter. Take care stay warm and all the best to you and Hilarie. Cheers.

[@Wheelloader__]

Awesome video Pete. Super C is looking race ready.

[@davidbennett7800]

I love the way you explain step by step as you work on these old tractors.

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

I know it’s a very time-consuming process and probably not very fun on your end, but we greatly enjoy watching your videos! It almost makes me want to get an old tractor and restore it myself!

[@jgx2]

Looking Good! Nice to see old Iiro come back to life.

[@stumpy2816]

Great video Pete. The old 😜Super C is starting to look like the new super C each video.👍👍

[@jamesmichael3998]

I sincerely appreciate the effort you put into showing this restoration project, thank you for sharing. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

[@jamesdavis8021]

This tractor is really coming together nicely.Great work.

[@Cookiegrabber-]

The detail work you do is what makes a job like this look so nice. Carefully masking the mating surfaces, and painting (most)😊 of the hardware just makes a restoration look so nice when completed. This tractor will look beautiful, and be a capable machine that will work for a lifetime. ❤

[@KChandler9362]

Thank you for all your hard work Pete! Lots of time consuming work put into restoration work. Looking awesome!

[@dale5898]

Hi Pete,Dale here. I want to wish you and your nice family a wonderful thanksgiving. Thank you for your hard work.

[@kathyline11]

Great video Pete!

[@lilaclion929]

These videos remind me of watching my grandfather work on his tractor back in the day. Good memories. I was wondering how much snow you got over this past week’s storm.

[@christianmccollum1028]

I've never seen an oiler design quite like that fan hub/shaft assembly. How cool is that?!! Very interesting.

[@jessicabuckman9675]

Nice job Pete, you're machine will look magnificent once it's complete.

[@immytay65]

Watching you makes oneself think that it's time to get going on my winter projects.

[@georgeleray5657]

Great job Pete very interesting love Farmalls looking great.

[@allencupsie6560]

Good job really came out nice really did a nice job

[@elizahenson1410]

I did not know there is so much work to operating a farm it is very interesting I am learning a lot. Thank you Pete.

[@crypto400]

Lovely thanks Pete.

[@n.elliottnoorlun8304]

Hi Pete!!! I got a real giggle from your Latin music as you did a tango dance around all those tractor parts while painting!!! LOVE all your videos, my friend!!! ;o)

[@daleredmond6449]

Thoroughly enjoying this entire series of videos.

[@beckyrobinson5672]

Thanks for video. Take care and God bless.

[@mrstan3997]

👍👍👍👍Hey Pete, thanks for continuing to share these restoration videos 👏👏👏👏take care

[@jbutton67]

I had a dream of making “this old tractor” series like this old house. You are doing a fine job sir. Really enjoy watching you put it all together. Dad restored a W4 and Oliver 66. Keep up the good work.

[@j.b.6855]

Slow and steady wins the race. I love the tractor restoration videos, and I know it will help your farm in the long run. Seeing them in action after you are done is something to look forward to.

[@rackets001]

This video had it ALL! Cool parts explanations, satisfying painting and final fit and finish of major assemblies. So cool to watch! I'm by no means a tractor guy, I'm an aircraft mechanic as a matter of fact, but this kind of old mechanical stuff is great!

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

Always enjoy your videos. Love to watch the plan come together. Looking really nice as each new piece goes on. I think it's awesome that you put so much into your projects, mainly because you are intending on using them after they are done.

[@johanlouw4060]

nice job Pete, u will be an awesome instructor to show youngsters how to assemble a tractor. love the way u work

[@justinauman5438]

Great video Pete can’t wait to see the finished project

[@jalpa9642]

Pete.... The Super "C" sure is looking sharp....! Lot's of detail to pay attention to.... if you're gonna do it, might as well do it right... bcuz if ya don't, ya gotta do it all over again...! Here's one for ya.... I bought a 96 Ford Explorer SUV 4 dr, rear wheel drive, 4.0 ltr. v-6 gasoline Engine back in 2009. About a month ago the Radiator went bad, it's got a plastic tank and an Aluminum Core. I got 3 estimates to have it replaced at local repair shops. #1: $693.17, Radiator -$448.99, engine coolant $18.99, no new Hoses. #2: $772.67, same radiator & coolant, hose kit $61.40, 4-clamps @ $3.00 each. #3: Different Shop, $866.26, Radiator $599.98, coolant $38.85, Transmission fluid $7.95, labor $153.00 I went to Automotive school in RI so I wouldn't have to pay Repair a shop big bucks. I got a replacement Radiator on Amazon $144.50 w/free shipping, bought hoses/coolant/clamps/trans.fluid all locally, the whole is under $200.00, my labor Free..! I may have told all that earlier...? =)

[@suebrown3917]

ENJOY WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL.

[@131R30]

Really, as always, appreciate your attention to detail and your explanation of how things work. Thank you for one of my favorite channels.

[@oldcars5547720]

These are all excellent instructional videos. I have often said if I had any ground at all I would have a Farmall H to sit in the front yard. These look like reasonable tractors to rebuild and you demonstrate that restoring one can be a lot of fun. Yes. it is a big job, but when you finish you have a serviceable tractor for the next 40 years or more. I have always thought they were a sound investment. This is much simpler compared with the big MD.

[@donpeterson9282]

Another excellent, well rehearsed and thoughtful production with a bit of humor. Well done, Pete.

[@chadklingshirn1508]

Love it Pete. Keep up the great work!!

[@springhollerfarm8668]

Keep on going and soon you'll be done with another shiny new old tractor... I like watching you do all this and fully appreciate the time you put in that we don't see.

[@mikemattcam]

I am number 43. How good is that. Doing what you do is a lot of work, taking a lot of time. When not filming and all alone what do you listen to on the radio in your shop. GREAT JOB!

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Pete, that Super C is looking great. It will be well worth the time your putting in.

[@twocooneys]

Very nice. Looking very good.

[@gobblingoaksfarm5341]

I love watching you restore your tractor!! It amazes me to watch the process!!!

[@The_Wood]

I am really enjoying this series. I hope when you finish the restoration on this tractor, you start another one.

[@sbu22able]

I just bought a super c for 350.00 hasn’t been in use for a couple years all your videos have inspired me to redo it thanks Pete. Rick from hippiehills Missouri

[@timothyrill3825]

Moving along! The care you have taken to make it better than a new one is unbelievable. Really enjoying it Pete. Thank you for taking us along!
