Odd California Orchard Tractor In Original Condition - Fageol Tractor - Classic Tractor Fever

[@nickkercheval2704]

I knew Fagoel made trucks, but this is the first tractor I’ve seen or heard of. Pretty amazing survivor.

[@EL300B]

I'm with Kurt,if I want to see new paint Il'l go look at a new tractor.Almost a 100 years of history there,don't hide it.

[@hombredeacero3131]

A masterpiece

[@JEDI-MAQUINAS]

Top vídeo bom de mais parabéns sou fã de tratores antigos 🇧🇷

[@Kbrusky15]

There is one of these up in Washington State at the Old Molson ghost town. It has Nash badges on it as that was the engine it used. The Four cylinder Nash engine is rare within itself.

Awesome classic tractor 💖💖💖👍

[@AllisChalmersMN]

Wow that’s a heck of a find.

[@FiftyOneFifty]

While the tractor division was sold to Great Western Motors Company in 1923, I think it should have been mentioned the truck division persists today. I think most viewers would recognize the name Peterbilt.

[@Cole-xq2tl]

Yeah, i thought i had seen a Faegol truck somewhere in a museum once. Don't they have the same hood fins like the tractor does?

[@markwhitmoyer6623]

I live a few towns away from the Lycoming engine works. They started in 1916, so it's possible that they did all sorts of engines before aircraft. They even made a car in the early 1930's.

[@victorjeffers1993]

Well in my book some things just arent for sale ! That would have been one of those things !

[@Ellenslife851]

I’d still wanna get it Running even if I left it in original state

[@Mr.Badger69]

That is a nice tractor

[@davesvintageequipment5319]

Those "fins" on the hood are the same as the ones on an old Fageol Truck. .

[@tom5256]

I haven't seen one of those in a while.

[@rdanderson12]

Interesting!

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Awesome

[@Ben-zh8bx]

It's up to the buyer of it if he want's to restore it or leave it as is, not what some auctioneer says to do!

[@bill091086]

No it’s NOT up to the buyer. It’s up to the auctioneer. You place bids after signing an agreement that you won’t make any changes! If you violate that agreement, the tractor can be taken from you and you can be subject to prison.

[@Ben-zh8bx]

@bill091086 - B.S.

[@bill091086]

Ben: Don’t talk to me about modifying tractors. I agreed in writing not to change a Farmall Model AV after I purchased it, then went ahead and restored it anyway. The auction company found out, the tractor was seized, I was charged and found guilty of felony modification of antique equipment , and was sent to Rikers Island prison in New York for 5 1/2 years.

[@paulorchard7960]

5 1/2 years for restoring a tractor? Should have murdered the auctioneer, probably only done 3!

[@danf-gg4lk]

Saying California and Fageol in the same sentence doesn't make one think of tractors

[@dylanjunke]

My God.

[@derrickdever8770]

Is that the same company that Peterbilt bought out

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yes

[@derrickdever8770]

I thought so thanks

[@widyawati3210]

👍👍👍👍👍👍😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Pocketfarmer1]

Somehow I doubt the wooden block and keyed switch are original. An old fix yes. Not factory. Neat machine none the less.

[@42lookc]

I agree. I really have my doubts that's an original switch and wood block. That is a combination ignition and light switch.... on a tractor with no lights. The toggle lever operated the light switch function. What is the point of mounting a switch on a wood block when there was a steel bulkhead right there? I think the wood block covered a hole to adapt the new switch. That switch was used in English tractors and vehicles 30 years or more newer than the Fageol tractor. www.ebay.com/itm/202647385551

[@pistolpeds]

The radiator hose may not be original

[@carljensen5730]

I can appreciate keeping a tractor like this original, but I have a 1941 Ford 9N that to my taste, the hood is not so good looking. I'm going to keep the hood so it can be restored, but I'm going to build a wooden hood that will make the tractor look like something from out of this world.

[@Ellenslife851]

I think if I owned it I know it would shame a lot of people but I would still restore it because restoring it will preserve it better leaving in original does not preserve it better if it has lots of rust as this one does because then eventually. The rust eat away the sheet-metal and deteriorates. The metal piece even further which is a shame because then you have nothing left.

[@robbyschemonia3089]

What's up with the subliminal messages? I see the logo flashing every once in a while...

[@ClassicTractorFever]

Sorry about that, I'm not sure what that is. It happened after I uploaded the video to KZbin. Might be from KZbin's compression.

[@AtomicReverend]

Sorry but the factory never intended for "pantina" to exist... This is a perfect tractor to restore because almost all of it is savable.

[@danielt8960]

That's what I think too

[@gabrielmuthler2101]

Atomic Reverend Alexander it’s original paint, so it’s probably best not to restore it

[@mfreund15448]

Atomic Reverend Alexander It is only original once.

[@AtomicReverend]

@@mfreund15448 but most of the original paint fell off and biodegraded decades ago.. Surface rust will eventually turn into severe rust especially in a humid environment which most of the US is.... where it was in California it probably would have lasted another sixty or seventy years (under a cover) because we don't have much humidity here... from my experience with 1930s and 40s and 50s cars rust is really heavy in areas that are humid... Not just because the roads are salted in the winter but every thing that isn't protected with paint or plating tends to rust.. I would imagine that a tractor is much the same way. Now that being said it's cool as hell as a survivor but it isn't exactly a clean surviver that you just throw gas oil and water in it and go

[@silvercabin5130]

If this tractor gets new paint I don't think it will ever sell for more than $30,000. Please just keep it like it is or maybe just get it running but NO paint please.

[@MrPeterbilt1971]

WOW!!
