Getting My Dads Tractor Running Again

[@jamesshonk565]

Happy fathers day to your dad at the end always gets to me. Lost my dad about 12 years ago and still miss him every day.

[@JeffBarker]

I know how you feel, it gets me to.

[@gearhead2017]

Lost my father to terminal Lung cancer from smoking in 1994,I know how you feel when you see tools in the shop,yes you get emotional and think back to when he used them last,memories last forever,RIP Isaac's dad

[@JohnnieBravo1]

Isaac, for what it's worth: your Dad is about same age as me, although he's a few months younger, but he would want you to use everything he used. It would make him so proud for you to carry it all on with his stuff. That's what I'd want for my children. I get you though, I'm restoring a 1940 Johnson outboard motor, that belonged to my Dad, and he took my brother and me fishing using it on a rented Jon Boat when we were very little kids. Emotional? You betcha. I am right now the exact same age as he, when he passed 31 years ago. Awesome content.

[@OZARK188]

Man I remember that feeling when my dad died. There were alot of things i saw and used at the property I knew he was the last one to touch before he left for Afghanistan the last time and didn't come back. I hadn't thought about those thoughts for about 10 years now. Keep that tractor friend. Find some space for it!

[@brettmartin5860]

I lost my father a little over two years ago and find myself feeling the same way whenever I use his belongings. I can still hear his words of wisdom in just about everything I do. Here’s to our dads 🍻

[@daneyzz1]

You'll always regret it. That's a gem .

[@JeffBarker]

Next February will be 30 years since my Dad passed away and I can still hear him laughing and picking at my Mom like it was yesterday. I don't think you ever get over losing them completely.

[@woodsinme]

That's a sweet little tractor.

[@marksmithson1414]

Isaac I do the same thing. With every wrench i pick up to every hammer I use i think that my Dad may have used this at one time. It gives me a great feeling knowing that i get to use the same things he used. And i know that he's proud that I'm continuing to use them. Your father is so proud of you Isaac, you're a great man.

[@Bryce5514]

I know the feeling when you have to go through your dad's things and have to sell things. If there was enough land and money, We'd keep everything of their stuff. God bless awesome videos.

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Thank you

[@bilinda508]

Issac, I can't help but feel your pain in having to part with your dad's old tractor. 😢 Just know your dad's happy it's going to go to somebody who will cherish and love it.

[@jamesbigham9036]

Isaac I think it is a great thing that you got the tractor running. I love how you honor your dad at the end of all of your videos.

[@jstephenallington8431]

Very, very cool old tractor, Issac. It was a lot of fun watching you get it running again! Great video, and I can’t wait to see more from you soon!

[@ronnyfurst5511]

Oh man Ike... I can feel with you... lost my Gramps which was like a Dad for me...Take care of his Tractor dude.. use it for you and think ofyour Dad when you drive it... Thats what I do with the Gran Torino of my Gramps... From the bottom of my heart Ike... I am very sorry for your loss...

[@TimothyRexrode]

Old school tractors is like old school cars they never fade away they just get better God bless u brother ur dad would be happy

[@robintodd3901]

With other things and losing my father it definitely changed me. Over ten years and the hurt never leaves. Just learn to function past it. I’m 42 now but I’ll always be his little boy.

[@rosebooth7367]

That is one really tidy Massey for her age, your dad took good care of it. I know you're not a tractor person as such but did I see a slight twinkle in your eyes once you realised it was sparking out the exhaust ;) Good to let her go to someone who needs/wants it more- I'd bid you on it !

[@18wheeler77]

8:15 I do the same. My father passed in 2017. I still wear some of his clothes. Once again Ike, I’m sorry for your loss.

[@honorrolls5415]

Unbelievable easy start for the Tractor.sad to be going through your dear dads possessions but you are doing the right thing to find it a good productive home. All of us can not keep everything with wheels no matter how tempting. Really enjoyed you bringing us along.

[@terryfromsouthcarolina4601]

Those Fergisons were known for their longevity. Pretty saught after almost to a cult following. I would look up a Massey Ferguson web page and list it there. I lost my dad in 1979. He was 70 years old, old enough to be my grandfather. Now that my wife passed last September I find myself missing them both terribly. Hold those tools like you are holding your dad's hands. Let the memories bring you smiles. They may be a bit wistful but smiles none the less. I'm here for you if you need to talk. It helps. Terry

[@mitchelllanglois5277]

Lost my dad 2 months ago, and got his old Massey Ferguson TO35. Can't imagine ever getting rid of it. Find a way to keep you dad's tractor, even if just to ride around the yard. I think you'll be glad you did.

[@BoguyversGarage]

I know how it is. I lost my dad nearly 8 years ago. It does get easier but it's always there. Stay strong and keep pushing on brother.

[@hoodoo_taco]

I still can see my dad on his John Deere. Always had a smile on his face when he was running it.

[@RadicalLinguisticDescriptivism]

Lost my mom a year and 2 months ago now... still hurts. That is a beautiful Massey Ferguson bro. Your dad kept a clean tractor. It probably ran great when he was running it. It has decades of good service left in it if you care for it. You need to rig it to pull your car trailer so you can drive it in a parade or something. CarsandCameras parade float! Anyway Its a really cool old tractor. If you do sell it... make sure it goes to someone who understands what a gem they are getting.

[@michaelhartzell9758]

My dad was old when I was born, so I never had that workin on a car thing. We did both have a love for VW bugs. He never saw me build my own Sand Rail from a Berrien Buggy kit. You are very Very lucky TO have all those wonderful memories. It gets easier, but you will never ever forget!

[@J-High666]

Nice little tractor ike strong durable many uses

[@WaynerNC29]

My dad passed 3 years next month. 11th Oct 2021. My heart goes out to you and yours. It's hitting me hard on days like this when I have to go to his garage and use his and my equipment we built up here to maintain this 4.6 acres and 2 homes. He made sure everything was here to get most jobs done. I mean almost anything. Your dads garage looks just like my dads. It hit me hearing that crack in your voice when you spoke of the brake cleaner. A lot of stuff is still in the exact same spot he left it. I put it back exactly every time I use anything. LOL I'm sure it gets easier with time, as they say. I'm still struggling. You are not alone, Brother. MLHR

[@SteveLynd]

I'm sorry I keep commenting but I love them old Massey Ferguson tractors the 65 is my favorite one I really wish you would keep it and use it I know I would give up my good eye to have my dad's old tractor if I was you I would keep it until I die

[@bullbutter9699]

As an old man who sits in his chair all day....... I approve...

[@Robert-ni6ut]

That's what I like about those old 🚜 tractors easy to work on and their a glutton for hard work and punishment 😊

[@SheDevilsGarage]

Im so sorry about your dad nice tractor stay strong my man, the tractor can pull anyone of your vehicles if need too lol lol

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

Love the video 👍. I've got my Granddad's model M John Deere in my grain bin. On the list to get it running. May need some expert advice 🤣. This Old Man from Washington NC always enjoying your videos. 🛵🧔💝

[@DIYWilly]

Take it to cars and cameras headquarters to grade the oval track..

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

We already have a tractor for that

[@KeepGrindingGarage]

I lost my Dad too Isaac on January 17th, 2023, so I know exactly how hard it is. Me and my Dad played guitar together and I was the only one of his son's out of 5 boys that took interest in music. When my baby brother showed up at my house with my Dad's guitar it hurt but I knew that I would always have a part of him with me.

[@Yelnats101]

Friday!! Best day of the week!! Have a good weekend Ike. Stay cool

[@letsdothis9063]

We had the same tractor, but it was a gas burner. It had one of those "rattle can restorations" done in the '90s. I cut a lot of grass with that tractor. I moved out to the family property to help take care of my grandmother and it was gone! I was heartbroken. My grandma had sold it to her brother, and replaced it with a JD1023e. Nothing against that little john deere, but just the yard is 10 acres. It takes forever to cut grass with thaatlittle 40inch bush hog. The little tractor isnt even heavy enough to grade the driveway. I miss my Massey Ferguson.

[@TheGforcead]

The rod under the dash is fuel cut off, pull to stop motor,make sure you turn key to off position when you stop fuel. Leaving it on drain battery

[@mkuhlman77]

Tractors don't need barns. You've got plenty of space at your house for it.

[@msack6904]

Lost my father many years ago, I still find treasures going through his old tools. That ole Massey is still in pretty good condition, you should be able to fetch 1500- 2500 for it, just depends on finding the buyer. Bet that would keep your road clean at your ocean side house, just find a bush hog for the back.

[@scubba3133]

Ike’s rocking the side burns like a rock ⭐️ 💪💪💪💪

[@waynerowlinson6177]

I see the hesitation you have in regards to selling it. I have several of my dads old outboards and can't bring myself to selling them. I don't know if it's healthy or not, but can definitely understand how you feel.

[@midwestmonsterhunter6034]

Man i know my weekend just got better! Keep it up buddy!

[@williamescolantejr5871]

that thing does have a move right along quality to it very nice

[@williamescolantejr5871]

ps its only raining because you washed the tractor lol

[@drgti16v]

Noice t-shirt Isaac. There is a reason I'm called Dr. GTi. love them V dubs

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one 👍👍

[@TechKnowCSS]

I Know how hard it is..... Yesterday the 22 of sept was the 1 year mark of my wife passing, Many tears.

[@Iowa599]

Haha! I thought that was a Massey Harris 50, and I was close! Feguson bought out Harris, so they are (basically) the same thing. Later that company became Agco, I think. I restored a 1950 Massey Harris 50 a few years ago.

[@jimmiller-vl4fk]

Nice tractor!! Good video!

[@gregperleberg1534]

You will never get it back never let anything go that your dad had . Your kids deserve to know about their grandpa.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent Video Massey Ferguson 65 are excellent video also late uncle and aunt ran Massey Ferguson on there farm ! My late dad & his brother had A 1950 Cockshutt 40 gas Buda motor 230 6 cylinders 6 volt positive ground that my grandfather Bill SR bought new to , plus had 1963 McCormick International B414 loader desiel motor, 1968 International 624 A Desiel motor with no Torque Amplifier transmission, they bought new and in 1985 bought a good used 1968 McCormick International combine gas motor one even had cab with fan air conditioning in only use on grains to and 1978 724 International Desiel motor loader of Allied brand at farm auction plus they 2 owners!

[@staceygandy2009]

Man, your choice but that tractor looks to be in really nice shape for its age. The metalwork is usually beat up. Enjoy the channel.

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Thanks. He had two tractors so I kept 1

[@ProblemChild-xk7ix]

You can find the implements you want. Keep the tractor, you will be glad you did. You have many, many cars, surely you can find room for 1 tractor.

[@joedeckinflyover]

Nice tractor !

[@darrellkelly7614]

Finally something that worked out for ya Ike

[@SteveLynd]

I have a mf 65 gas they are a great tractor lots of power it's worth between 3,000 and 4,000 the way it sits my tractor is down right now electric trouble waiting for parts and it will be running again I wouldn't part with mine for love or money best 3,000 I ever spent

[@Robert-ns7id]

My father in-law had one similar to that Massey when he died it went for $3500.00 up here in Canada at auction, I think the guy that won the bidding wanted it bad he paid more than it was worth another guy bid it up. It was running it had a rebuilt motor about 5 years before and it was not used much.

[@darploin5071]

Isaac if you do take it to cars and cmeras you can have John take it around the Grand Prix and hopefully he will not wreck it into a tree. You have an excellent weekend.

[@afberglund2764]

Massey Ferguson. Very good tractor

[@loydheckenlively9426]

You're gonna need a whole radiator hose for massa ferguson tractor when I first watched the video, it looked like something ate a hole in it, so don't forget your radiator homes for your tractor

[@TheGforcead]

We had exact same tractor. There are two planetaries in the rear axles. We drove that tractor for years b4 we found out gear oil went back there

[@Nathan-gc1zy]

Hopefully it can be kept in your family but if bot sonebody get sweet deal on a awesome tractor one if the best and is in real good condition

[@bobmanzi7712]

Great stuff thanks

[@lorenmars5244]

We live on in the hearts of our loved ones. Even if it's just a can of brake cleaner that brings him to mind.

[@ProblemChild-xk7ix]

2018 to 2024 = 4 years? That new math is crazy!

[@kaseyjones4143]

great old tractor right there should be a easy sale.

[@drgti16v]

that is a Deeee Zeeellleeeeee tractor for ya!!! dank nooner with The Tractor??

[@twocvbloke]

Smooth running machine there, was wondering why it's so wide int he rear 'til I saw the way the wheels are mounted, clever setup there, no idea how it works, but it looks like they can be pulled in to fit narrower gaps, or pushed out to improve stability... :)

[@J3N5_K1NG]

If i'm not mistaken, the wheel setup is meant to allow adjustment depending on the width of rows when you spray/fertilize your fields. Very common on older equipment.👍 Might be wrong but that's my guess😏

[@whatsinanamethatthecaptive577]

Sparking out the exhaust is equivalent to a burnout! Inheriting a tractor is a tough emotional situation. I inherited a Farmall H tractor that my grandfather used, my dad used and I drove while growing up on the farm. What the 7734 am I going to do with a tractor when I live in town? All the memories and emotions are there and would love to keep it, but it is just not practical. Tough situation.

[@that65_guy]

Did you used to raise chickens? I see that older heat lamp youre using. Reminds me of those old purina stores that sold feed and baby chicks back in the day.

[@predatorsolutionsofmichigan]

Starting a tractor by standing next to it is a good way to get run over by it. Happens all the time. Serious injuries or death is very possible. My brother was run over jumping a tractor. He thought he took it out of gear. But it was in gear and started quickly and ran him right over.

[@RogerBankerFishmiser]

Could make a great surface paver for a dirt track.

[@MustangKevin69]

U need to add a heat sheild on the hose or the manifold aluminum foil will do on the hose just make sure there is a few layers brotha

[@terrymillard9255]

Tornado 230 overhead cam strait 6 Had that in a1962 Willys pick-up

[@normangarland6558]

When you do a cold start is the red light for the glow plugs? when it goes out then you crank?

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

I think it is an alternator light

[@Gokartsandstuff82]

Sorry to hear about your father

[@RacerRoss]

I’d love that tractor for when I move to Tennessee, but I’m not there yet. bad timing.

[@williamescolantejr5871]

batterys are in parallel due proubly to 1 battery alone not having the amt of plates alone to go like a big deep cycle does.needs more plates

[@brianz367]

Lol I just don't have the space for it. Buys 3 more cars at auction tomorrow 😂😂😂

[@handsonwithblg4949]

Time for a Cars And Cameras first tractor pull tractor . Juice that thing up Brother and hook it to the sled .

[@chrisb62]

As a Canadian. How does insurance on cars down there work. So many cars Isaac drives.

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Not cheap

[@SteveLynd]

Make sure the high low range shifter is in neutral or the tractor will not do anything because of the safety switch the tractor must be in neutral to start

[@JeffBarker]

My Dad had a 1952 Ferguson tractor when he died and my Mom sold it, she let her brothers talk her into spending money she didn't have and, well we won't get into that.

[@ShawnSchoolcraft-tu5fs]

my dad has little of value other than land that's been in the family for almost 100 years... i really dont know how ill handle when he dies...i guess every time i ride my motorcycle or dirtbike i will think of him, maybe he'll be watching me. he's pretty healthy so at his age i fear he's just going to go with zero warning..

[@hacabreracabrera3479]

Sorry for your lost, $ for the tractor

[@andrewklahn7899]

Today on Isaac channel where he is working on a tractor now😊

[@samuelmcgill-rl3lb]

that year might just be a ferguson i have a 1952 te 20

[@jmptaz]

See that's why it started raining you dad knows it sparks and doesn't want you to catch the yard on fire and mention it to whomever buys it so they don't burn their hay field down
