The Hart Parr Earns Her Spot In The Barn

[@EthanA1122]

I think you're right about no other old tractors doing field work on youtube...not as old as your hart-parr! It makes me feel nostalgic and warms my heart somewhere deep inside...just to think it's doing what it was meant to do after all these years. If you think about it, all of American technology stems from Farm Machinery...the American Farm has been the test bed for so many innovations! For me, nothing connects me to the past generations more than an old tractor. Thanks for the video.

[@mikevandyck8291]

It's always a treat to see the ol'girl out! It's even more of a treat to see the ol'man out working!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I had to pry him out of the house to run it.

[@jodyleasure8719]

Wonderful old machine! I grew up with a RC 70, a 39 model.My Dad bought it at an auction in the late 60’s just to use for odd jobs, mostly it was our manure hauling tractor and run the silage blower. I always loved the sound of the old six cylinder on the blower! We also used it to power an 800 watt generator when the power went out(which was pretty frequent back then).One time in ‘74 we had a bad storm that knocked out the power for 3 days,that 70 and generator was a life saver! It would run for hours providing power to milk the cows, then Dad would switch it to the house so Mom could cook supper and we could all get baths then he would shut it off when we went to bed so it wouldn’t be left unattended, then get up early fill it with gas and it would be ready to go for another day!

Nice seeing the old gal at work..

Hi great videos I am from the UK love watching the old girls working worked with a lot of tractors from the 60s they are a bit special so looking forward to the next video

@22:58 I enjoyed the young oak sapling growing! Good job over all thank you for your videos.

Thanks.

Beautiful tractor! I love the styling of the early Oliver’s. These old tractors love to work still.

[@Derek_00Mustang83]

I'd say that little mower does a dang good job. Great seeing the hart parr doing a little field work!!!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@Dan.Whiteford]

Thanks for making the effort and taking the time to make a great video of this old tractor doing useful real work chopping corn stalks for you. It sounds as though she needed the work to get it in shape and running well. I can well imagine the difficulties of finding suitable spares for maintenance work such as that front seal, near impossible I guess! Well done and thanks.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Unfortunately about the only source of parts for those engines is new old stock and it can take a while to hunt down enough parts to major an engine.

He’s got a lot of good tunes.

It is great to see old girls like her being put to work, would love to see others like you to take the time and use older machines to farm with.

Glad you put this up Ethan. I remember a " few " videos back where You stated that " paint ain't all what its about " or something to that effect. You certainly stand by your words. Hart Parr ran great and did a good job. Thanks for posting. Take care. Fred

that old oliver is a sweetheart cool to see you run it i have an old john deere b it was the first old tractor my dad bought and the last he restored we are the second owners of it and it was bought in our town in 1939 what reminded me the research said it was brought to town on tip toe steel wheel but were traded for round spoke rubber wheels at the dealer the old tractors like are fun to run and get an idea what it was like back then farming thanks again for getting it out

No flat tires for sure got to love that. Camera on the PTO shaft, brilliant! You'll get a credit when I use it.

This is a very nice video young man. I just caught on to you today. Is this Illinois or Indiana? Beautiful country well kept equipment and buildings. I am in michigan quite similar not as flat. Thank you.

Thanks

[@canvids1]

Great video and I think you are right I haven't seen a Hart Parr working they are just in museums on display. She runs great and needed a workout.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Not to many doing field work aside from occasional plowing.

[@garybarrett6581]

great job!! we got snow again on the 25 no harvesting for over a week now but is to warm up and sun shine by middle of the week l be watchin!!!!

Luckily all those storm systems broke up over the lake before they got to us. We were supposed to have some last week.

Was also wondering how the 8700 is coming along excited to see more on that too really enjoy your videos keep them up

[@45Deere9500]

I dare say you are having the most fun, chopping stalks, as anyone in the US this year! Maybe, someone can match the fun, but there’s no way they can beat it! Thanks for taking us along on the Hart-Parr.

It a lot handier than a three point bc you can just drop a pin and go. Not as agile though so it’s a trade off.

Case had the high PTO as well as Massey Harris. I have a similar Bush Hog model 205 I have used with my SC, I put an over run clutch on it so when the cutter free wheels it is not back driving the non live PTO pushing me in to a fence or such.

[@danw6014]

I picked up one of these at an auction a few years ago. It's not pretty but you don't see many of them at tractor shows. Mine is on cut offs and rubber fronts. Electric start and lights. It's also got a Sears and Roebuck manure loader mounted on it. I have all the hood panels but the only thing missing is the grill screen in front. It was one of those tractors that ran when parked 40 some years ago so I am hoping it won't take much to get it running again. At some point the engine coolant froze and cracked the block. It was brazed up. If you know where I can get the grill screen I'd appreciate the info.

It’s always a good time getting the retired ones out to work. (At least until the back gets sore) Good old reliable designs, no dead batteries, no flat tires, just ready to work.

[@alwayslate1000]

I like to see the old stuff working again. I know what you mean about PTO safety. When I was 14 I was working for a neighbor when he got caught by the PTO shaft. Luckily his wife was close & killed the tractor before he was hurt to bad. I was in the barn loft stacking hay she sent me for help.

[@michaelhill4091]

Cool stuff right there.

[@NCOliverfarm]

Do you have issues with the 70 snappin pins on pto equipment? Ive got a Oliver 960 for my 70 and it seems sinve the 70s pto is so high it puts it in a bind and shears pins.

[@michealsousa559california5]

Awesome video, I learned a lot , didn't know abou t the Curtain in front of the radiator. Loved the camera angles, the one by the PTO was kind of scary! 😳

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

They don’t run thermostats so the curtain is how you control the engine temp.

[@adamreyling6505]

I really enjoyed that video!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@carrollcountyfarmer2871]

Seen the tractor with the loader on it in the back ground just wondering what Oliver is that? I haven’t seen that one in any other videos which I might have missed it just curious

[@dylanhockaday9878]

Man it wood be cool to leve a Aker of land next spring and plow disk and plant a small patch of corn or beans

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Its funny I fell asleep just before the music started playing. I had a few questions about this tractor. Like what year it came out. What year did standard pto come out. My grandfather had an oil puller and I don't believe it had pto and was much larger than this machine. This engine seems able to handle a good load of weeds without bogging. Thanks for the video and the old Oliver. If someday you got good on the lathe you could turn new timing gears with a fractional head device. You seem handy enough.

[@calebbadenhop4003]

Might have to get my 70 out and slap the steels on to plow cornstalks now.

[@caseihfarms_2188]

whats more american?

[@Daniel-ul8py]

Normally we leave the stalks stand in the field because we cut fire wood and they have good traction with the ice. Then we'll disk before we plow. I guess everyone has a reason for what they do. Nice seeing the old tractor at work. Not vary often you see them working in the field just sitting in the barn or in front yards, one in a blue moon you'll see one at a tractor show or something like that

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

All our ground gets fall plowed.

[@williamchristopher1560]

What was he pulling up top the radiator??

[@NEAFarmKid4010]

It was a radiator curtain. On the old machines like this one they didn't have a thermostat, so the curtain was your temperature control. The more you pull it up, the more it blocks off the radiator, which doesn't allow the air to cool the water as much, therefore keeping your temperature higher. Some tractors had shutters, which were used for basically the same purpose, except that they could be actuated manually from the tractor seat.

[@hughperkins707]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jackpalatinus3042]

Another one that was bad for pto placement was the old wheatlands I know if you’re not careful on the IH w4 though w9 it’s easy to get a leg wrapped up in it and I have heard mini mo’s were just as bad

[@michiganfarming1955]

Really enjoyed this one worth the wait to watch the 70 out working. How long did it take to chop that field?

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

About 4 and a half hours I think.

[@janethouck9763]

Looks a lot like the mini mo ZTU in my yard

[@lynnhavenfarm8514]

With the tip toes like that would it be harder to get stuck or about the same?

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

You can go through more but when it gets stuck it’s 10 times worse.
