I wonder Sam, this may sound naive, but does the videoing of this engine take apart , take much longer when you have to film it ? theres a lot of screws again to remove , it must be tedious sometimes to have to set aside a certain amount of time to film these . Thats why I appreciate the time you take .

[@GreenAcreHomestead]

Making videos always slows things down! :) It's the hardest part of trying to get things done but also produce a video on it. I'd say the video process at least doubles the actual work time, then you have to add on editing time afterwards. It's def. not a "smart thing" from a time investment standpoint unless you factor in possible revenue from the videos long-term. But even then it's hit-and-miss. Some videos take off, most just get initial views and never grow. It's why my #1 advice to anyone who wants to "try KZbin" is to enjoy the process of creating a video just for the process and not dream or count on any money from it. :)

@@GreenAcreHomestead thank you for answering this question Sam, I very much appreciate you taking the time .

[@darleneclark6098]

@@GreenAcreHomestead good advice. My kids want me to do you tube, but the only reason I'd want to do it is to document everything for family and friends. Anything else would be a plus. 🤷

@@GreenAcreHomestead Hello family on the homestead 🙂first time I have seen your channel, and I like it a lot. Please never sell that cadet, it is soo beautiful I cant believe it!! Let your son take care of it and use on the farm, he is lowing it. Wish you all a happy holiday

How can you possibly sell the CC when Elijah is obviously in love with it? He's developing a great work ethic, thanks to Mom and Dad, too!!

[@jed1913]

One vote for keeping the club cadet for your son. Get him mowing attachment, then let him “ride”

[@rickortiz3964]

I also watched and loved what he did , so I vote gif him not yo sell it I think it cool plus his young son loves it cool little tractor 👍👍👍👍👍

[@judyrosey]

Angela! It's not boring to watch things being cleaned or restored! There are people who make a great living on youtube just cleaning, restoring and refurbishing appliances etc. without ever saying a word! SAM!! Let the boy have it! He deserves it!

[@gmag3253]

What a great Dad... teaching his son how to wrench etc!

[@tonyandrea7613]

Enjoy seeing the Dad teaching the kids. Priceless! Angela is the best.

[@nicholasrhoden9828]

Unless you get a good offer for that tractor, I would think it's value would be in Elijah having experience using a tractor. He's showing he's got a good work ethic, so maybe this would be a good reward for helping out. And I'm sure there will be plenty of projects where he could use it.

[@mindi.m]

Little boys learn from the big men in their lives. His enthusiasm is admirable. I hope he carries it to adulthood. I vote you give him chores that he can do with the tractor and charge him a few "hours" worth of work!

[@audreywy1743]

I love how you guys are able to turn chores, remodeling, maintenance, landscaping, etc into educational opportunities for your children. That's the beautiful joy of parenting quite honestly, being able to teach your children life skills and for them to be completely engaged in the lesson without them necessarily realizing at the moment that they're learning valuable life long skills. Bravo to all of you...Also, keep the cadet for Elijah to hone his landscaping & mechanical skills. You could create an entire new lesson on financing, interest rates & hourly wages, etc for him.

[@lynnhamps7052]

Elijah is such a lovely child, (his brother too)...I love his manners bless him...

[@alexdreher]

I love this tractor! I love that you work together with your wife and your sons on it! What i love most is that you give it to the loving hands of your son! Now he can start his own career as gardener or snow plower! To give it to him will pay back in the future and is more worth than a few bucks! He will help you more and more with that little international! 😀👍🏻

[@deborahplyler6528]

your son looked so cute driving the cub cadet you just cleaned up.

[@Lantanana]

Your little helpers did an excellent job! Go Elijah and Isaac!

[@carolyncarlson3825]

I love watching Elijah grow as a person... He's such a sweet kid. Good luck selling at Elijah will be trying to do everything to make money to buy it...hugs

[@kennethsword551]

Clutch yoke. I would consider the Cub Cadet being passed down to your mechanical son as his first unit to mow and garden with. Those old beasts with outlast anything made since the 1990s. My honest opinion.

Yep your right . I mow plow disk snow removal pull logs out of my woods. Power house work horse

[@philliphall5198]

Sir I love seeing your son helping you and he will be a winner for sure

That would never resemble a tractor when I got through with it! All those pieces and parts would end up looking like abstract art when it was over with! Great to see Elijah helping and learning from his Dad!

That CC is an antique! It cleaned up very nice. And what an excellent learning experience for Elijah. It could also make him a more experienced driver, too.

I think that Elijah is thoroughly enjoying helping his Dad. did yu both go off together and have a boys break?

[@craftsman1598]

Cant believe I actually sat Here and watched the whole thing When I knew I have a Cub Cadet 123 needing my attention. I found the whole thing with the children helping a real good thing. Wishing That My Children were more like them. A real all American family doing things together away from the whole kids thing that would rather be playing video games. Yea. Just Wished that My children would want to learn something that would most definitely benefit them in the future. I could tell they been helping work on things for sometime now. Took real notice of the way Elijah corrected himself of the 1/2 socket and wrench thing. lol. Good Job Everyone.

[@Live2rideagain]

That’s a beautiful old tractor !! Wish I owned it !!!!

[@23Josilee]

I recognized that Cub Cadet immediately. We had one that we worked on a lot, in it's end days, that my Dad bought many years ago, at least 50 years, and finally gave up getting parts and needed too much...but we sold it right away to some dude who thought he had made a great find...which he probably did, although my son is a mechanic and finally gave up on repairs. SO, I don't know, but think I would hang on to that Cub Cadet for a while longer. By the way, our new tractor/mower is a cub cadet and we expect to have it the rest of our lives.

[@LuJustLu]

Awwww, let him keep it. It's perfect for him. I must say the cleaning/power washing was ever so satisfying! Great job everyone!! All hands were on deck for this one.

[@sonniecampbell1788]

One of my favorite videos. Love seeing the boys learning, and Elijah driving what he’s repaired. Gotta’ love that.

[@auntmaryspals7978]

I really enjoy watching videos like this one. I was one of the first girls in our school to take small engines class in 1973. The knowledge from it came in handy.

[@deanbarr5740]

Very strong little tractors Sam. I recently gave a Cub Cadet 123 to a coworker. It ran fine, just always had trouble with the starterator/genenator. Mine had the same exact 12 HP Kohler engine and hydrostat tranny. If you could get traction, it would pull just about anything you hooked to it. I bet it too was an early 60's model. As I'm a 1962 model LoL. Great project for you and Elijah.

[@GreenAcreHomestead]

I would really like to get a hydro unit! Always thought it would be awesome to put a little bucket loader on the front of one. :)

[@deanbarr5740]

Ha, I forgot to mention, the whole time I owned that 123 Cub I never knew how to turn the headlights on. My coworker found the switch down by the lefthand side of the running board. He pulled the switch and both lights worked. LoL

[@ritamoore3940]

I love watching these mechanics videos. You are so sure that you can put things all back together after dismantling them. That blows me away. Your children are so fortunate to have someone with that kind of confidence around to introduce them to repairing old stuff (much better made) and saving big time.

Nice family project. Elijah works well. Maybe you could consider the Cub Cadet a reward?

[@lindavanausdell1028]

Your son is such a hard worker. Teach him to take care of it. Change the oil, wash it etc. I think you could put a small dump bucket on the back and have him gather old stuff your not using from the property. It looks like it’s time for a big yard clean up and organize before fall and winter comes. Tractor looks great. Maybe a lean two for all the equipment you have it keep it all in good condition.

[@GreenAcreHomestead]

[@ucdesigns396]

I love watching your guys videos. You are a faith based family, you include your kids in when you can and I love watching what you guys run into and create. I have learned how to do some things for myself along the way...like getting up enough nerve to wire my own shed, thank you! I didn't read all these comments yet, but did you let your boy keep the tractor? Man, to be that age and get a tractor that I could drive, that would be heaven on earth! I had my own roto-tiller but not the same.
