Awesome attention to detail. Love how you explain the slightest nuance of everything you are doing… and why.

Couldn't agree more

[@richardhicks7946]

I agree. It's a joy watching Pete work on them old tractors.

[@leethiel5790]

@@richardhicks7946 Yes, a craftsman of the old order, a pleasure to watch

[@samvalentine3206]

Your machinist really did great work... so nice to see that. So glad to see you use the plastigauge - it's the right way to do it. Thanks for sharing, Pete!

[@banlarson]

Just a joy to watch you work on these tractors. The camera work, attention to detail, and explanations all make for the best videos on KZbin.

[@sidneystowers]

At my age 73 I had forgotten how simple it is to follow the basic steps and always take you time. It makes for a easy job. I watched all your vidios and enjoy them all. THANK YOU

[@hwcinc]

Thanks Pete, I remember doing this 55 years ago. Sure brings back memories. My wife told our vet today “it took me 56 years to get him (me) back to the farm”. I’m starting to work on our new farm and enjoying life all over again.

[@Countrybluez]

Never change Pete!!! I like the old ways and the way things were. That’s why I watch.

[@springhollerfarm8668]

Although I do not have the patience or tools to do this kind of work, I have done it before and love watching you do it, explaining every detail as you go. Your attention to detail, especially in your camera work is exceptional. My wife, on the other hand was worried you'd ruin your new shirt and make it like the others. I told her the pigs don't care but she just doesn't get it.

[@chaplaint.3622]

Mr. Pete, I am completely ignorant in mechanics. I understand just about nothing that you explain in your videos but I enjoy them so much. I find them relaxing, soothing and very enjoyable. you are meticulous and methodical in your work and you are eloquent in your explanations. Good job.

[@kyrasweatt5494]

My husband and I enjoy watching you work in your farm and tractors. We learn and discuss your videos ❤

[@canvids1]

Pete I could sit and watch,listen to you working on rebuild of that tractor never get tired it. You sir have a lot of knowledge to teach people. I am sure lots of people are watching and marking things down to help on their adventures along the way.

[@securitymanager683]

Pete, the second camera angle, on the placement of the piston rings, was TOP NOTCH!!!!!

[@larrymoore6640]

I'm glad you include the little details like matching up the oil holes, lubricating the parts as needed, part placement and all the other misc details. It's a good reminder to anybody that rebuilds engines.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Outstanding Mr. Pete! I like how you take your time rebuilding these engines. When you're done with it, the Super C will be better than any new utility tractor out there today.

[@steve-gp1nc]

Fantastic attention to detail. I really enjoy watching you working on these old tractors.

[@oFeller]

Pete I love watching your videos. My grandpa has a farmall 400 so seeing you use farmalls on your farm just reminds me of him. Keep doing what you do.

[@jlhaslip]

Always a great day when Just A Few Acres shows in my feed the same day as Tyler Farmer's Ranch with both of them doing hands-on stuff. It would be awesome to have each of you visit the other's operations. A guy can dream... I guess. 🤣

[@briananderson6398]

My brother, also a Syracuse alum like yourself, is contemplating rebuilding his Super C. I told him he needs to watch your videos!

[@davidf.7782]

Great show Pete!!! I love watching the tractor builds.

[@johnkaijankoski5508]

Cleanliness is before godliness when assembling an engine! Great job Pete!

[@robertwhite8320]

I am a retired farmer and watch all your videos. You gave me the inspiration to rebuild the motor on my old skidsteer. I never would have tried before I got the confidence from your wonderful videos. Thank you!

[@johnroberts5602]

I swear, I have never ever worked on a tractor but I feel like I could just fire up your videos and get the job done. Best how-to videos on the net. The natural, relaxed personality makes the video a joy to watch. Really well done.

[@GWBoen]

Pete my foster kids and I are always excited to watch your new videos

[@debrasrnek4223]

as I watch it reminds me of one of the rare occasions I connected with my dad, working on his car. I'm 64 now and he has gone on to be with the LORD. I just hope you and your children can find time to bond over something you love and something they love. blessings to you and your family. and yes it's beautiful.

[@kenhabig1473]

I so much enjoy watching your videos and your journey. My grandparents had a dairy farm dating from when he was discharged following WWII until my uncle passed away. They raised chickens for many years in addition to operating the dairy. They were very frugal in their operation, so watching you keep the old equipment in such good order brings about so many great childhood memories. I’m 3 years older than you btw and enjoying everything about your channel. Thanks, Pete! Fan from Mississippi.

[@travisbradley9458]

I always placed a piece of rubber tubing over the studs of the connecting rods to prevent them scratching the crankshaft. Always worked for me.

[@scottpetersen8386]

I bet the first time you fire up this up,you have a great feeling of pride and ecomplisment

[@thomasernst4894]

...I'm an old Navy rocket doctor and we had to have the same attention to detail when we worked on the Polaris missiles... it's a pleasure watching you work...👍👍👍...

[@jws3925]

You found the clip!!! I usually can't find them when one of mine go flying.

[@jaasx]

You might do the best rebuild videos I've seen. Very clear explanations on everything.

[@julianlavergne]

Pete, I have been watching a lot of your videos. Listening to you is so soothing as you explain and go through each step of your rebuild. They are like a quiet song that sooths the soul. Keep the videos coming. They are great to watch and learn.

[@stephenb5jones476]

I've been watching for a while. I live in Mexico but am up visiting family in northeast Ohio. Have shared with some of my aunts and uncles about your channel and I mentioned that you weren't much for John Deere tractors and my 83 year old mother immediately said, "That's because we're Farmall people in this part of the country!" (without knowing what your favorite make is! )

[@Old-bold-pilot]

Excellent job. Takes me back to working with my dad when we rebuilt our farmall cub. He could have completed the job by himself much faster but he took the time to teach me how, what and why. The cub became my tractor on the farm.

[@ImpHalla66]

I hear you say "Hope you have a great day" at the end of each video. Thank you for reminding me, sometimes we need a positive reminder to make the day great. Super enjoying the rebuild videos. Makes me want to rebuild the 6 cyclinder in my old Jeep.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Absolutely love it! I'll never rebuild a tractor. Doesn't matter. I could watch this all day.

[@ragandoil]

Fascinating used to watch my Father do this 60 years ago

[@harrisonchevy4452]

Hi Pete, just love ❤️ your engine rebuild and your attention to detail and perfection. Doing it yourself allows you to build back the engine with zero tolerance for mistakes and future successful operation in the future. Have a great 😊 night and see you on the next video.

[@ChrisSmith-io5vw]

Thank you Pete I enjoy watching you rebuild this old girl I love that style of tractor I love to see and the 200 God bless you and Hillary and your family

[@ayankinthephilippines1416]

This rebuild looks like it will be race ready in no time lol i could learn a lot from a techer like you the way you do things make it fun and educational all at the same time thanks so much :)

[@release19]

I remm doing this with my Dad, i was probably 8 or 9, taking the block and heads to the machine shop to be boiled and honed, heads having the valves done, then in a few days pick up everything and back home for reassembly, he explained all the steps just like Pete does.

[@harleybrooklyn4293]

Slow and steady gets the job done right.

[@williamlucich24]

I've watched your videos for quite some time. But this one really hit me, when you talk about do you or do you not stagger in thirds your rings. I was already talking to my wife about how can you third five rings? Meaning the ring above and below the oil wiper. Love you man, your inspiration to many. Love to see more of the cows boohooing

[@mrstan3997]

Hey Pete, hope you are having a nice week. Thanks again for sharing 👍👍😃😃👍👍

[@KChandler9362]

Thanks Pete for sharing this engine rebuild. Can’t stress clean enough when it comes to engines. A speck of dirt can cause lots of trouble.

[@minnickfamilyfarm]

Looking good. I used to build topfuel dragster engines, so ring clocking, it’s to help for initial startup sealing and break-in. Yes rings will rotate during engine run time however all rings will rotate at a different rate. By clicking them differently it helps minimize any exhaust gas escape to the bottom end. It’s like starting a nascar race, all the cars are so close together for so long rather during a yellow flag they are all over the track and take forever to meet up. Hope that makes sense, also another reason why I don’t watch nascar. Have a great day!

[@co-defendant3577]

Just what I needed right now! Some “Do it yourself” good ‘Ol “roll your sleeves up” motivation. Currently on, Pine Island, FL, cleaning up our Florida home after hurricane Ian. News doesn’t do it justice! Total devastation! Taking a break, eating some dinner and watching Pete make it look so easy! Thank Pete!

[@tomford372]

hang in there! We are in South FL feeling fortunate!

[@MrGuinn88]

Ive never rebuilt an engine, always wanted to; watching your patience and walk through, I think I can do it. Thanks Pete :)

[@ChrisScibelli5586]

I thought this was your winter project . You're going to have this thing running before snow flies. Lol. Awesome work sir.

[@LohreFarm]

Hey Pete. You are really inspiring me that the fight with my wife about getting another tractor is worth it. Love the video, and can really appreciate how much time this took to film and set up all the shots. Thank you Sir!

[@frankcurley]

That retaining ring flew across the room like a clipped toenail....😆

[@jamesrobinson9304]

Thnaks Pete. I especially enjoyed learning about the process for piston /ring replacement. I knew the process, but not the details. Great video.

[@joeanonemouse]

Thanks Pete, another great video. Something about your mannerisms just makes me feel good after watching your videos. Thanks again and great build. 👍

[@ZigZagMarquis]

Pete, thanks for this video series of you restoring your Farmall Super C. I am enjoying it. I believe elsewhere you've said you don't have plans to restore any more of your tractors, but I still promise not to tell Squatch that you reuse fold-over locks... just kidding! Thanks again.

[@jamesbreault5762]

Great job Pete love to watch the process on engine building👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@markthecraneman8465]

I was taught to stagger the ring gaps...so i am with you on that.

[@timothyrill3825]

Wow...alot to pay attention to! It must get a little easier after each one. Very enjoyable Pete! Thank you! I love it!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Dang Pete you’re making me want to buy a Farmall!

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

You should!

[@jlhaslip]

Pete will have his running soon. Make him an offer... lol 😆

[@northrungrader8937]

Thank you for sharing. Excellent tutorial.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

A completely thorough job in both the work and the instructions you used. I liked the video, it takes me back to my youth. Thanks and I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@frankgibson8861]

Fascinating regards from N Ireland .👍

[@andrewclarke3750]

Hi Pete Just wanted to say what a fantastic job you did explaining step by step as you went along with rebuilding the engine. It really felt like I was sat in the garage watching you build it. Your explanations, sound, lighting and camera angles made it so easy to follow along. Brilliant. Can't wait for the next installment. Best wishes Andy

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Thanks Andy!

[@edwarddavis507]

Thank You Pete! I hope you have a great week! Very cool super c. She is coming along well. I love how nice the crank and connecting rods came out!

[@HSTvids357]

I've rebuilt a whole handful of engines, but I still always love it when Pete puts one together. Something about your slow, methodical demeanor is relaxing. Guaranteed to run good as long as no valve springs break!

[@7draxo]

Look out for an Amazon package on Saturday. New inspection Mirror.

[@ronharrison1776]

I love watching you build engines .

[@ihrescue]

Assembly lube looks like melted Swedish Fish. Good video Pete.

[@wheelloader8176]

Great video Pete. I've never rebuilt an engine, and now I know why. I like to take short cuts. No short cuts in engine rebuilding.

[@proteusnet]

Enjoy your day Pete, thanks as always

[@teddean8136]

Thank you.

[@michaeldavidson544]

I have no idea what is going on here (i.e., how an engine works/is built) but I find it fascinating to watch. I would never imagine cotter pins being used to hold something together!

[@kellymartens3314]

I just love your mechanical videos, just don't see that much anymore. I'm an aircraft mechanic and to me to you do it just like any manual has ever described. I have your videos on all the time when I'm at home, just great.

[@joelalexander3705]

Boy I am learning so much from you. Watching you really wants me to rebuild an old motor. You are a great teacher of many things. I rebuild machines at my work but my hands don’t get oily LOL

[@joeromanak8797]

That’s some good mechanicing! It’s nice to work on your own stuff so you can set whatever pace suits you. This engine will serve the next generation before it needs this treatment again. You’re almost immortal! 🥸👍✅

[@dennisvillebrun1876]

Great video Pete. Thank you! Had a little chuckle when the spring clip went BONG!!! LOL. Looking forward to the next one.

[@Flowing23]

Its a pleasurer to watch you work Pete, thank you.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

it's always good to just take your time.. be careful.. should never hurry... thanks for sharing..

[@herbhouston5378]

Everyone's attention and dedication to their job and your meticulous work ethic is refreshing. Glad it's going together good.

[@joedinkel2107]

Incredible he should teach a high school class or something that is awesome stuff

[@brettpendleton5778]

I love putting motors together it's relaxing

[@Token_Civilian]

Nice. Reminds me of my high school days wrenching on my car.

[@samstengler4638]

Thank you, Pete, for these videos! I love the farm ones just as much, but I enjoy a nice lunch while watching the teardown/rebuilds! I have a '72 MGB that is torn apart, and this is making me anxious to finish other projects so I can return to rebuilding it!

[@bobwollard9105]

That was a great one Pete. For many years my father served as the lead engine builder for a well known race driver here in Houston. Whenever I toured his shop it was so clean that you could almost eat off of the floor. All parts of the engine assembly were spotless. Your careful attention to detail is outstanding. Can't wait to see how well this engine performs when completed. I bet it runs like butter. Well done Pete.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

From one KZbinr to another, you make very nice videos!

[@rmattaliano3614]

Pete!!!! I have no idea, nor clue, to what you just did for the last 27:53, but I have to tell you....I enjoyed every minute! Please keep up the "Good Work". Rich from PA.
