I remember I was twelve years old and my dad and I were getting ready on a Saturday morning to roto-til the quarter acre garden one fine spring day. A phone call Later, Dad is gone on a work trip, and I get a fifteen minute crash course on how to gas, lubricate and operate a 1972 craftsman roto-tiler. I took care of business and a week later when Dad got back we planted the garden, This was in 1982. Kids can handle responsibility if you show them how.

I’m 13 years old and I have an international 806 me and my dad are restoring, it sure would be cool to get it running like new, I am even more inspired now

[@O.KFarmToysdeutzallis6275]

hows the project going?

[@jhitt79]

I hope this fine young man realizes and appreciates how fortunate he is to have the parents he has.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

Nice work young man! I've never heard the 2 stroke Detroit called Screamin Demon, they've always been a Screamin Jimmy to me. No matter, they definitely have a sound all their own. Dad had 2 semi tractors with 8v92ta Detroit power and we always knew when he was getting close to home!

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

That young man is awesome what a wonderful job he did on all his restoration projects so cool his parents help cultivate his passion for old iron and his mom makes sure he gets a’s in school thanks for sharing

[@theda850two]

[@MikeyB_1972]

Good job, bud. Well spoken young man.

[@jimjones8300]

This kid has an amazing career ahead of him .

[@SchnelleKat]

Talk about a real impressive, disciplined, and smart young man. Love them both!

[@joshuathewelder24]

[@jimsteele7108]

I had no idea that you could get the Detroit in that little tractor. Very cool. Thanks a lot for posting, I very much enjoyed it.

[@Olivermansuper66]

They should do an Oliver tractor

[@benterbieten9540]

Love the 435s, congratulations on that restore.

[@joshuathewelder24]

When Ricky’s dad called the Detroit a pissed off weed eater, I laughed out loud 😂

[@kentcostello5286]

Keep it up and going please. We need to keep our history going.

[@deanbarr5740]

Awesome job Ricky.

[@indianasunsets5738]

Another great video! Like the emphasis on the young guy and his hard work!

[@zodszoo]

This is super Cool!!

[@bethmotgomery2662]

If I have a 435 deere, I swap the factory engine with one off a 830 or a 730 diesel. But I will keep the factory starter though! Agree y'all??

[@brentwelin3612]
