Caring for Animals in Cold Weather + How a Differential Works

[@barb1333]

My husband and I check each day for your videos. We love seeing your farm, the animals, listening to your stories and your jokes. I know nothing about working on tractors, but I enjoy watching those videos too. Thank you for the wonderful entertainment!

[@camicri4263]

Lol, me too!

[@kck1021]

This is the greatest KZbin channel ever!! Thank you so much for all the great content!

[@trlaird9987]

Never thought l would ever look for a video from a guy taking me on his farm and sharing his life . l cannot tell you how much l have enjoyed every video you have made. You are very easy to listen to and your little family of animals just makes me smile through the entire video. Thank you Pete.. keep them coming..!!

[@brandywineblue]

I wish my Dad who was a diesel and automotive mechanic were alive to see your tractor videos. He'd enjoy them ...or maybe sad to wonder what might have been...he and Mom turned down an offer my mother's uncle for our family to come live on his farm as its resident mechanic and farm hands. What a life we might have had, surrounded by his family and many other of my mom's aunts, uncles, and cousins instead of alone in the city.

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Those little Orange and white piggers are the cutest!

[@joebarbjb6668]

As a boy in the 1950s, I loved those old bearings. We would take the balls bearings out and use them as steelies in our marathon marble games. They were fantastic for trading.

[@advisorymink4525]

Thanks for the smile today Pete

[@DJBoise]

Keep warm.

[@mitchp350]

Watch Squatch 253 all the time, I am subscribed to his channel as well. He does great work as well as you. Yes he is very meticulous in his rebuilds, as you can be at times, but this is the reason, the rebuilds last for years after, and are used, not a show piece. I find everyone has their own ways to do the same tasks, and it all seems to work out in the end. I very much enjoy watching you in the rebuilding stages of your equipment as you show the why, and how of doing something.

[@jamesdalbec1527]

GOOD SHOW!!!!!

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Oh, those piglets are so funny:)))

[@RatdogDRB]

Happy critters, dry critters, well fed critters. They have a good life. Love these repair videos. Since my brain is wired to understand things mechanical, I've always enjoyed taking things apart to see how they work. It helps when time to diagnose the source of noises too. Especially love the simplicity of the old stuff.

[@paralyzedlife8763]

Just like you my brain is wired to anything mechanical. Restorations, engine rebuilds, anything of that sort

[@jeffreyshier9021]

To say Squatch253 is thorough, is a gross understatement, but some how satisfying. 😱

[@brandywineblue]

Lol you did a thorough job explaining the details of the differential... I was laughing thinking of Marisa Tomei explaining posi traction as "everyone stuck in the mud in Mississippi knows, one wheel spins, the other does nuthin."

[@donnaparrish7638]

The cows and pigs all look like they’re doing great! We finally got some snow here in Oklahoma. Not much but any is better than none. I probably wouldn’t think that if I had to work out in it. That’s great that winter market was good! I’m glad Hilarie bundled up! Thanks for sharing Pete!

[@StinkyPony34]

You do a great job explaining things!

[@jackkilgannon1644]

Keep up the great work Pete and Hilary! Have a great day everybody 👊🏼

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Great video

[@notacyborg]

Those new piglets got big quick.

[@frankrizzo3915]

Stay warm Pete

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Pete, have a great rest of your Sunday. Enjoy your videos.

[@mrcutestuff]

Always love your jokes! Haha! Of course your overall videos, Hill, and the farm, too

[@t.diddle7998]

Your videos are so soothing for me. When life is a little much, I watch one of these vids, and I feel all Chilly Willy.

[@kevinschroeder3889]

I live in southern MN and we got 8.5 inches of snow on Friday the 14th. Probably the same storm just moving your way. Squatch is so meticulous, that when someone has worked on something of his before and they did a hack job, he gets a twitch in his eye. Just ask him, he'll tell ya. He's a great professional wrench. Highly recommend his channel.

[@robertgoth5570]

What you say is true. I have talked to him several times at the nowthen threshing show

[@sgrvtl7183]

Cute, funny piglets snuggled in the hay😊

[@fransmthombeni4347]

Great educational content…🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🇿🇦

[@phoenixrising3219]

It is beyond cold 🥶 I work overnights so I endure the coldest part of the day. Walked outside to discover it was 24•F and wanted to jump for joy because it felt like a heat wave! Stay safe during the storm, we are supposed to have rain behind the snow.

[@susicreamcheese]

Thanks for the Explaining the differential, heard that word so many times never understood what it did

[@jimdandy6862]

Squatch is who turned me on to your channel. I agree Squatch and Senior are quite talented in the equipment refurbishing game. I have enjoyed both of your channels and appreciate the extra time and effort when documenting projects. Stay safe and warm. God Bless.

[@marksmall7790]

Makes you appreciate whoever invented things like the differential and other technology. To have a dream and be able to create it are amazing accomplishments and works of art.

[@Cinder2008]

Good recommendation! Not only is he a meticulous mechanic, he has some good values. I don’t subscribe to channels where I would have to apologize to others in the room if the audio is overheard. Toby is much like Pete.

[@brycewiborg8095]

I remember the differential for Dad's M, and H out in our garage next to a potbelly stove. You are correct. It's not complicated with a basic grasp of physics. A very good mechanic I knew wasn't literate. I think I've mentioned that we fed small numbers of hogs as a hobby. Minnesota has a similar climate. We usually had a excess of oat straw so we would build a framework of 6 inch by 12 foot tree limbs. Perhaps 10 by 10 will 3 foot clearance. We then covered the structure with 8 foot of straw. The entrance would face south. There was still slow growth in the winter, but not as bad as a wood frame building. I enjoy seeing you do similar things. Thanks Pete.

[@SteffanRhoads]

Great to see you getting down to an empty case. Rebuilding from the ground up and replacing what is needed is a great example. Thank you

[@1crazynordlander]

I was able to meet Squatch253 this past weekend in Jordan MN. Great mechanical technician and all around good guy. I went back and started watching all of his videos like I am doing with your channel. I hope you two get together someday at one of the shows across America. I was fortunate to check two items off my bucket list this summer. Meeting Squatch253 at the Scott-Carver Threshers show and You at Red Power Roundup. Now I can croak in peace.

[@tomjones8209]

You and Squatch 253 are my most favorite KZbin guys !

[@judyboyd3067]

Love you and family and all animals!! Thank you for videos!

[@anthonysmith3187]

Hay Pete, I just want to say thank you for your Knowledge on how to restore tractors . you should make A video series on how to restore stuff you can make a lot of money selling online.

[@davidcolman6070]

Was watching Squach just before watching your channel. Enjoy them both.

[@bobkids009]

Pete....you are indeed a "Jack of all trades" ...... from farming to automotive engineering at your fingertips......! well done....!

[@cccm60]

Hi Pete from Connecticut. I love seeing your animals and how your family takes so much care and pride in them. I enjoyed your videos on the summer market and would love to see how the winter market is set up too.

[@herbhouston5378]

I wasn't concerned with the cattle and since the little ones have the heat lamps, they'll be fine too. Looks like you're movin' right along with the MD. Great old tractors. I hope Hillary had a great day at the market and I'm glad it's inside! Seems like only yesterday you were there in warm weather and sunshine.

[@patriciabeyer7824]

Good morning. The animals look happy. It's great the market is going well. You sure enjoy taking tractors apart! Be blessed.

[@carlthor91]

Yep, Squatch is ~980 miles directly South of me. He is a Ford mechanic, as a day job, and an awesome antique Caterpillar, mostly, rebuilder/mechanic, in his spare time. Best wishes from the far North.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

You got me Pete, on the which way the axle drives out of the housing, I was saying it several times when I thought, "yeah he's kidding, he knows". Good job on the thorough explanation on tear down and step by step working of the differentials. Thanks for sharing and you have a fantastic week.

[@mrstubb6253]

Hey Hi Howareya Pete & Hillary!!!! Just want to say Thank you for showing us Midwesterners how you do it in New York! Always like to watch your progress on the tractors & things and surely happy with the way you 2 care for your animals. My wife & I can see by the way your Cows Pigs & Chickens react to your voices. I Also want to thank you for mentioning 1 of our friend & club member Squatch 253. You're correct when you say he's meticulous with his restorations. He & his father have been a Wealth of information for our club members. Sure wish you could find time to come to Minnesota for our threshing show at Nowthen Mn. I'm sure you'd have a Real good time with our club & everyone at the show. Be well Be happy & Be healthy!!!

[@kirkwilson10]

I have a grandson watching this to learn about differentials. Differentials that will make his Lego kits that he wants to market much more desirable. Believe.It.Or. Not. I told you that y'all would touch years you'll never see.

[@tombaert2712]

We enjoy your uploads , everytime, we follow your channel already 2 years now, we looking everything forward to your next story. greetings from a Belgium Europe farmer!

[@FuturepumpLtd]

Great video! Love to see how different farmers provide for their animals and how to help them through the cold seasons.

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

Glad your farmers market days are going well.

[@huskersue5123]

Thanks, Pete for the video. Always look forward to seeing the animals. Stay warm.

[@cindyboard7816]

Thanks for sharing your farm, home and lifestyle with us!!! You guys stay safe and stay warm!!! Best wishes from Kentucky!!!

[@thegracklepeck]

Do I work on farm equipment? No. Do I still enjoy watching you take things apart and telling us all about them while you fix them? Yes. I'm a simple woman, Pete posts a video and I click and watch!

[@douglasbruce1713]

Thanks for sharing

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

I love the animals. So impressive about the cows and how they stay warm I never knew that 😊

[@darylullman7083]

Love it when a favorite mentions another favorite on their channel. I was going to say you weren't as meticulous as Squatch but I think the results will be the same.

[@ingeborgm6147]

You explained the 'differential' perfectly and I closely looked at the pictures, stopped the video to make sure i got it and when you were done, I understood nothing,, have no idea how it works and you may as well have spoken a foreign language to me! Mind you, I watched how you took the entire tractor apart and found it most interesting! Did not bore me at all and I will watch again when you reassemble the thousand of pieces until it looks like your tractor once again. I can knit, sew, crochet and paint; I studied art. and speak more than one language, but anything complicated mechanical or electric hits the wall in front of my brain. Let's face it; there is something missing! :)

[@donnaelkins186]

Hi Pete. Love your channel . Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@barryluther6811]

I truly LOVE all of your videos!! I'm from a small town in NC with a bunch of farmer's and farms. I was raised on 48 acres myself and we raised all the animals that you do except for cows. We lived in an ancient old house that was built in the early 1800's that we had to repair and rebuild. You make every single video so interesting that I can't stop watching. I'm a 911 Dispatcher for our county and in between our 911 calls I'm watching your videos and have gotten my co-workers watching with me! Thank you for what you do!!

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Thanks Barry!

[@SODAK2276]

Explanation was very good. Love to see that tractor getting a new lease on life!

[@davidfuller8304]

Very best, very best way to take care of your animals in the winter time. When I was a kid there was a couple of Belgian bachelor farmers. These brothers live just down the road from us. On the neighboring farm. When the weather got really cold and snowy they'd bring the critters inside the house with them Thinking of that over the winners as I grew older I realized the key was being bachelors. LOL But I was thinking, Pete. You might try the little sausages and see how that goes over.

[@richardwright1819]

you explain things really well, Thanks!

[@jorinpotts1318]

Wished I had a awesome family like this.

[@jakefrechette3224]

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us through these incredible videos.

[@annwitzel9630]

Just a few acres farm , what happened to the cool and neat banjo intro ? it goes along very well with all aspects of farm life . Love the little pigs , so cute but worry about them staying warm when it is so cold .

[@brandonburdette7895]

You deserve way more subscribers than what you have Pete everyone like and subscribed to Pete's channel!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tommcmillan3143]

Thanks Pete! Great episode! We had the snow storm pass through VA and it was nice to get the tractor out to plow:)

[@MillerFamilyFarms]

Hey Pete normally with our tractors when one tire starts spinning we press that brake so that the other tire has more power to it. Great explanation on how a differential works

[@tanyajenkins919]

Pete I really enjoyed you explaining how the rear ends function very interesting to me . I have a Minneapolis Moline I wish I could find someone to love it and rebuild it . It's a beautiful ole tractor my late husband had big plans for restoration to the old tractor. But then never happened so I have a nice old Moline I need to find it a good new home . Nice joke lol Hi to Hillary and your family. Hope Hilary has a great day at the farmers market. Happy restoration .

[@chrystalsabin4091]

I like these educational videos. Thanks for sharing Pete.

[@wendyhorn8376]

I've forgotten how I came upon your channel, but I'm so glad I did! 😊 I truly enjoy watching and learning from everything you share with your audience. You are such genuinely kind folks and your content is refreshing. Many years ago I helped my ex rebuild a 1952 Willys pickup and really enjoyed it. Watching your videos on this old tractor reminds me of those good times. I can almost smell the grease and parts cleaner! Anxiously waiting for more! From Nevada County, CA - Happy 2022!

[@joisdaname]

Not “Little sausages” this guy is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@suedobson2154]

i love watching your videos! so glad i found your channel! i check daily for new videos, and rewatch quite a few. it is amazing, but i watched one of your first videos, the difference in your pasture grass is nothing short of amazing. you may not notice, but it jumped at me off the TV screen. you have done a wonderful job with your farm. Here's hoping one of the children catches your love of the farm and carries on the tradition!

[@pleasantacreshomestead1037]

Awesome video as always Pete. I cannot wait to see the clean parts. Try not to freeze with those windows open.

[@greenthumbprepper8653]

That was a great way to explain how a Diff works. Thanks. 👍

[@alwayswoke5181]

Always facinating yr video's. Keep it up! Cheers from Europe.

[@somethingabouttractors241]

Good stuff as always. I also think squatch253 is the gold standard.

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Pete they are built to last such a heavy axle. Have a great day

[@giannisiosifidis3521]

I always enjoy watching your videos I also love your animals and your old tractors

[@freeplayfrank7736]

We didn't fare so well with the cold, lost a few goats, couldn't get high enough guality feed in time. Heritage hogs do okay in the cold, we just had a heat lamp for the piglets. Yeah those big bearings are expensive and hard to get. I reused as many as I could too, couldn,t get the dust shields in Canada though. I like Squatch,s channel too. I gave you a shoutout on my baby goats and tragedy video a while back. Thanks Pete, take care

[@windetrails]

A perfect day to stay in the shop and work on the tractor. It's been cold in Idaho, down to -3 a couple of days, but today it's a warm 25 degrees and foggy. I think I'll stay indoors and watch KZbin videos. You're making good progress with the tractor, and looking forward to the end results. It should be better than new.

[@brandonburdette7895]

Hey Pete i really like the restoration videos and your farm animal videos as well thanks for all you do for the world to see found your channel a little while back and i watch it more than any other farm channel now you do great work thanks Pete from Brandon from south carolina

[@jorinpotts1318]

Wow insanely good explanation of a differential. Great job

[@goldysmith6953]

I just perfectly explain Pete you did a great job

[@wd9dau]

In my family the first sign is being able to hide your own Easter eggs! And meeting new people every day. With me it’s wearing my sunglasses inside and think I’m going blind.

[@josephclark7163]

Time lapse of the cleaning is interesting.

[@karenzorn773]

Hi. Pete, luv your videos on all the animals, would luvTo see a video of winter market as well.

[@mikekehoe2927]

clear as Mud.....thanks Pete.

[@kenmontgomery287]

I'm just west of Albany NY. I use Troy bearing distributors in Troy NY. Awesome folks. Give them a call if need them. God bless

Learned about how a differential works! Thank you.

[@geraldsundberg3610]

Good explanation of the rear end Pete.

[@jimwade5782]

Hey Pete , another excellent video , Pete's guide through the MD, ,we had a taste of that storm, then sent it on your way , enjoy the fresh powder , all the best from Missouri

[@livingcountry]

Enjoy your channel you remind me of an old friend who has passed on. AJ Jacks he could rebuild anything with a motor. He like to stay busy from daylight to dark up to the day he died.

[@tombrynjulfsen8652]

thats man.love you for take care of the animals and the tractor loves from Norway

[@glengillis7775]

Thanks for the metric temp. I have forgotten the old imperial temp settings. Pete I watch that channel and like how he does his builds. Like your simple explanation and good advise. Thanks and I hope Hillary had a good day at market

[@beirnefarm8988]

Pete, regarding the impact I found the more you use it, the more you’ll use it😁

[@SaturdayMorningBacon]

Once again, another great video! The entire family appreciated your explanation of how a differential functions in a vehicle

[@joehovanec1985]

Hi Pete from South Carolina. We have that snowstorm now, but we are in the process of sending it up to you. Keep an open for it. You went and got an electric impact, instead of a CP 6500. A CP6500 will outlast any electric impact. Battery powered tools are ok when new, but just keep deteriorating with time. I enjoy your videos and Squashes. He and his father are very good. I know of non-better.

[@357coonan]

Thank you for the explanation of differentials...

[@jdublu755]

Snowstorm coming. I can hear that super A running already!

[@kippen64]

Couldn't imagine living in an area that cold.
