Its great to see people keeping these machines alive and used.

[@beulahacreshomestead1927]

Danny, its beautiful how you take what looks like junk and bring it back to life.

[@denniscleveland669]

This fish were following, because you were feeding them grass hoppers and other bugs, when mowing.

[@bethanyfields4706]

It is so nice to watch you use your expertise to highlight the ingenuity of folks long gone.🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@weathermanplus]

Nice! Good morning!

[@aprilarmijo6967]

Very impressive just goes to show hard work and dedication pays off ! You should be so pleased with your self. Excelente job Danny 🤗

[@aprilarmijo6967]

Your place is an oasis absolutely beautiful Danny 🤗❤️

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Now that was a joy to watch!

[@erikoja1275]

My father purchased ours new in 1955 and I still us it every summer to cut a 10 acre field for our neighbor.

[@dianatennant4346]

Good good tool but can be dangerous be careful around those Banks until you get really used to it. I remember my daddy cutting down hay with one of those and also mowing around the pond and the ditch Banks on the way in and out the lane. That would make some nice hay for you.

[@frederickburns1739]

As a retired farmer/ diesel mechanic I can relate to rebuilding things. I sold the farm and bought a thirty year old home on a couple of acres and the estate. Old house, old lawn tractor, old rototiller and the list of work goes on. But I'm thankful at my age I can stay busy and active as I believe I have a few years on you. And I'm impressed with the old FARMALL CUB. At one time I had a FARMALL H that you started it on gas and after it warmed up you switched it over to kerosene. The old girl was built in 1943 the year I was born and she still doing work on the farm in the early 90s.

[@terrymiler5438]

It's funny how the simple things in life sooth the soul.

[@factsmatter4030]

Danny that tractor is the 💣 Red Rover, Red Rover turn the dirt Over WooWoo

[@martinrutherford4562]

I have heavy weeds along my creeks , and weed eating takes a lot of time and string . This bar should be great and easy work

[@daveknowshow]

that really is a nice looking pond.

[@jeanniewright2554]

There’s something about being close to water…it’s good for the soul!!!!

[@Dutch779]

Like that expression Danny. 2 legs and a arm for it, good job Danny,

[@anitahamlin2411]

Good to know I am contemplating a place with a pond.

[@marybethham4967]

You are like a kid in a candy store with this tractor. Awesome.

[@lloydwilliams8715]

Good morning Danny and Wanda hopefully you are having a great weekend. Been awhile greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@JYH70]

Your property is full of tranquility. I now live in the city but loved my old country living years. I enjoyed the sounds of nature. No police cars, sirens, and hardly no crime. I applaud you, Danny and Wanda sharing your homestead and advise with us. God Bless you both for your hard work🙏🙏

[@lhanso20]

She’s so purty now!

[@joecannes2421]

Danny, you are a pleasure and joy to watch and listen to, God bless you Sir

[@jambocoo]

Yea, once you get a new cutting bar, it will make a world of difference. Growing up in the 60's on our farm we had a farmall cub and my Dad used it for mowing hay for our horses. I did most of the mowing with it and talk about having a great time, whew I loved that old tractor and watching the hay fall as the sickle bar layed it over so easily. Spent many many hours on that machine and loved every minute of it. The only caveat was waiting till it was dry enough to cut, which meant usually starting after noon, of course it was hotter then, but when you're having fun it did not matter, mow till sundown and call it a day.

[@doloreslindsley6510]

Love this tractor

[@trevorholland2812]

With all the hills and banks you have it’s a necessity for you to own a sickle mower

[@jeffgootjes8418]

I feel your pain with buying used implements. My son and I went to a big auction in Michigan last weekend. He bought 2 cultivator sets, 2 side dresser sets, a big crate of side dresser parts and an under belly disc. He has a super a and I have a super av. The under belly disc ended up being for a cub as far as we can tell. I thought about you right away but he says “ I guess I’ll have to buy a cub now”. 😂

[@donnadivineprepping9742]

Thanx Danny and Wanda 👍🏽 love your vids🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽May God bless you

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

Danny. You're teaching history while you're having fun working. Thank you.

[@stanfromgeorgia3117]

The old ways are still the best ways

[@marithag2319]

The reflection in that pond is God's bonus!!

[@jerriscollins-ruth9019]

Glad for you that it will work.

[@snailplumbus1080]

Appreciate your shared knowledge, and experience

[@lestersloan2758]

This video is bringing back memories of my life growing up on my grandfather farm in Indiana 🙏💯 Thank you from Detroit

[@MiscMitz]

Thank you sir. Reminds me of riding on Old Blue with my father

[@arlenedrake4476]

You’re a genius!!!

[@jeffhamilton5985]

Thanks for sharing

[@joanncole9603]

AWESOME!

[@grannyprepper1181]

That is awesome.

[@michaelmueller4946]

We used our ole cub for hay time, plowing, discing. It was our only tractor. I just love that you are restoring it.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

If you get a set of polarized sunglasses you will see right through the reflection to see all the fish.

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

Lots happening at the Deep South Homestead….watching you from Gander Newfoundland and Labrador Canada and The Ole Church 5 Acre Homestead 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦‼️

[@idahohoosier8989]

Super nice! Blessings, julie

[@stormbilly6767]

I remember the farm using a sickle sidebar when I was younger. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. Your restoration job looks great! Stay safe and keep on growing 🤠

[@frogfoothollar5349]

You did a great job on that mower. To bring it back from where you started just about makes you look like a miracle worker. Have a froggy day. 🐸

[@sandilacy9498]

Danny, you simply amaze me with all your knowledge!

[@starkenterprises2371]

Good morning guys, nice job on cutter, Danny. Place looks beautiful, you inspire me. Always a lot to do. GOD BLESS GOD SPEED GOD WINS.

[@Gibson_Branch]

Not sure if y'all know about it or not, but there is a guy with a field FULL of farmall stuff on hwy 84 in Collins. When y'all come up 49, get on 84 and head west and he'll be on the left. He may have some stuff you could use.

[@lauracarter2223]

Looking good! I grew up in a big cattle farm and took ponds (and so many things) for granted, man do I miss what I had!

[@ronatwell5379]

Just learned about your channel from Kevin at Living Traditions Hmstd. This is a great video and would have been an encouragement to me back in the mid 90's when I was buying old equipment to use with my Case VAC. I bought a 3pt. 7' Ford sickle mower that was in pretty good shape but I had to learn how to make it cut to its full capability. For the next 11or12 yrs, that rig and I cut lots of fescue hay. Wife and I square baled it and hauled it mostly ourselves those yrs. until about 2007, I bought a round baler. Keeping the sections sharp is just part of the equation. You also have to keep the guards adjusted so that there is not too much gap between the bottom gaurd plate and the section. In fact, you actually want to section to rub that plate. I pulled into a new client's place to cut his hay once and he just grinned and shook his head. He said, "that will never cut this hay, it's too thick." I had great satisfaction in having him complement me after a couple of rounds on how well it was cutting. Miss those times. It was not fast, but I could do a lot of thinking and meditating while going round and round a 5, 7, or 10 acre field with that rig. Still have all the old equipment, just sitting and rusting. No one wants stuff like this anymore.

[@ednarobinson3424]

Working Horses With Jim is a KZbin channel that uses similar tools and lives around the Amish he gets a lot of his supplies for his equipment from the Amish. He actually uses a device such as ours to cut his fields with his draft horses.

[@jamesm9766]

Danny the wood pitman arm is made to break like a sheer bolt if you hit something so you don’t do damage to the rest of the mower I’ve helped my dad change a few on other mowers with wood arms

[@tammytackitt8713]

You need to get some ducks for your pond they would look real cute out there

[@terrygore2792]

Just got home from work ,sat down and watched your video. Elbow grease, ingenuity, determination and dedication is the key to success. I'm am proud of you all Deep South. God Bless.......00TG from Illinois....

[@michaelhoggard591]

That is some kinda nice tool there Danny! good job!😉

[@stevenstober8326]

You are amazing!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Thanks it was a hard weeks work getting it rebuilt.

[@citylotgardening6171]

Great job rebuilding that cutter when you get the new blades miss Wanda want see you anymore lol

[@lorrainewelch5176]

Great job!

[@TheSHOP411]

It's such an enjoyment bringing a piece of equipment back into use when it looks dam near impossible. I would have had some serious doubts too looking at that thing the way it looked on that pallet. You should be smiling every time you use it.

[@billhunt892]

Morning Y’all , NICE ! I can remember my step father using one of these on his farm , everything looks great !

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

That's so nice! My Grandpa had a tractor with all those implements that looked a lot like yours. He used to sharpen the blades on his? I'm reminded of him every time you pull that old Cub out. Thank you.

[@MrBuddy-zu4do]

Very nice implement to have ,Great job,God Bless.Pond is Beautiful.

[@tcmits3699]

Great video, kinda rewarding getting it done without instructions, surprised how nice it cut that green grass for not being sharpened. Something about those old tractors and implements. Good job

[@denniscleveland669]

Awesome job, Danny!

[@brianhaines6165]

Very nice mower. Great job cleaning it up. Very nice all around!

[@BurkeshireFarm]

I'm convinced I need to find me a cub tractor for our gardening.

[@AbleGoodman]

Oh wow! You're a real Mensch, Danny! Congratulations on your intuitive/logic skills and putting your new mower together!

[@slm3913]

I just love how you have spent so much time rebuilding a classic tractor and it works perfect. I think it will be so much better when the new teeth come in for it. Its like a big wow! And another wow with all the fish. I could sit all day by that pond just watching the fish. Oh just love the nature God creates for us. Praise Him!

[@mikeyalch7900]

Thank you for all your videos it's especially porch time you're doing Great job Danny it's sad but there's a small percentage of people to see Whats coming And don't believe in what's going to happenSadly we're never going back to yesterday the words that our parents used to say the good old days will be The same Words We say ourselves Keep up the great work . . God-bless

[@roseyjoe3898]

Still looks fun 😁the new part looks good too cool fish

[@suehinson1629]

Mr Danny I live in southeastern NC and about 4 miles from me is a old equipment/junkyard and I didn't realize until last week just how many things "farmall" there are on that yard. I'm going to be going back through there this weekend and if they're open I'm going to stop in and get their best contact information and do my best to get it to you. I don't know if it will be of any value personally to you but just in case I know it won't hurt and the possibility of having another resource is worth it. In my opinion anyway. I am so enjoying the progress you are sharing with not only having a great working tractor but you are well on the way of having a new working system in place for the betterment of the homesteading experience and life! Much love to you and Mrs. Wanda. I hope y'all have a great weekend ahead and God bless.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Thanks I'll be waiting to hear from you.

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

The reflection sure is spectacular Wanda, pretty as a picture. That Farmall Cub is sure turning out to be the go to machine Danny. How amazing how the Lord sees fit for the fish to eat. God bless and thanks!

[@lestersloan2758]

VERY beautiful property 💓

[@lloydwilliams8715]

Great content as usual. Love it

[@cliffmolz8719]

I'm happy for you Danny. Good job on the restoration. Cheers

[@gordonkinslow8385]

awesome job on the sickle mower.

[@jeffdyer2393]

There is one of those on Craigslist knoxville tn for 100 dollars. Was used last year if you want another.

[@joelhenderson5404]

Danny that cub is 71 years old and it don't get tired like us when we get older. Where you gona live if your body wears out.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

In heaven.

[@davidmannion5362]

The pond looks amazing!

[@rickyb2200]

I love the pond, the sickle mower did great , we have a pull behind sickle mower that belonged to my dad , I rode on it on the seat controlling the sickle bar by hand my dad drove the model C Allice Chamblers tractor I may have spelled the tractor name wrong. But we used it for all my child hood dad passed it Down to me , and I passed it down to my son . I'm 62 boy that brought back a lot of great memories . Thank you Danny and Wanda. God Bless you both.

[@davidward1259]

Love the restored tractor! As to the fish, have you considered putting a "bug zapper" on the dock - over the water, with the bottom tray of the bug zapper taken off? That way the zapped bugs fall straight into the water as fresh bugs for the fish (free food!). They do that a lot at the lakes around us. Plus the fish hang around your dock more. Also if they make a polarizing lens for your video camera, it cut the reflections off the water so you can show the fish better.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We have solar lights just above the water at our pier. Pulls in lots of bugs for the fish to eat.

[@ConfedVet]

Great job Dan. I remember using these to cut hay and followed with a dump rake. Back then we piled hay in stacks.

[@LivingBreadHomestead]

Love this! We need this as well. Really cool

[@russelstewart1726]

That "wooden rod" is actually called a Pitman Arm.

[@shawnbeckett1370]

Another excellent video

[@jcashfan964]

You can sharpen the sickle sections with a angle grinder

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

These are to wore out and thin.

[@lancelineberry4335]

Used one of those many times on my grandparents farm many years ago. As a kid I loved mowing the pasture with it.

[@killersugar6816]

Wow. This looks amazing!!!

[@tiffanyconner6955]

The grass carp love fresh grass clippings. I use to feed them baskets full daily at a golf course and it didn't take long before they looked like sharks feeding. I would not be scared to say they were at least forty pounds and 3 1/2 feet long. Really fun to watch them grow into giants.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Mine are getting pretty big also

[@pattiripley7599]

Looks great. Fantastic how your able to do all that. I’m so thankful for my son who comes over and helps me mow and stuff.

[@martinrutherford4562]

As you cut , the fish are waiting for the grass hoppers to hit the water

[@denniscleveland669]

You could bend an iron rod and put it where the board would be. All it does, is deflect the cut grass away from the uncut grass.

[@irili100]

Thank you very much Wanda for the tour of the farm, I really admire the various trees outside and especially what is in the greenhouse - Malpighia glabra

[@jeffcongdon4469]

Sweet setup beautiful pond

[@preparedfamily7648]

Youve done an amazing restore on that tractor....looks fantastic...

[@randallstewart8487]

Good job on that sickle mower set up,really looks good on that nice cub,just a word of caution,keep those fingers away from those blades when raising or lowering those bars,those blades can slide when raising or lowering,ours allmost got one of mine when I was around 16 mowing with our Super-C! Thanks for the video!

[@roberttucek8594]

Danny, awesome job with the use of the Cub. I love old tractors, watching you on it is great. Thanks

[@RaisingRoneys]

That is so cool! I’ve never heard of a sickle mower. That will be something I need to look into for the future. Right now I’m still on the weed eater. Love the video.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Crazy thing is I just bought a new weed eater. I think I'll be using this instead. Much faster and a lot more fun.

[@RaisingRoneys]

@@DeepSouthHomestead yes faster and fun is a good good combination.

[@user-vd8ns5ox4p]

nicely done, very enjoyable

[@billhartwick2306]

Love the Cub, after seeing yours when you got it made me to go out and buy me one. I will try to do a video and send it along with the story of how I got it along with its implements and I’ll email it to you. Keep up the great work!
