The Farmall 756 Lives Again!

[@big.g.fromohio3546]

When you said “thanks Mr Cotter” I got curious who invented it. I found three different people claiming to have invented it, but only one named Cotter. John Cotter from Ireland gets my vote. 😆

I don't think dad ever bought a cotter pin for the 20yrs I was there, but he always had a good selection of nails!

I also had the same question, thanks for finding the answer.

Great job Pete always enjoy listening to your conversation with the tractors😄😄😄😄

[@sweetdeocurts]

Thanks Pete & family, So a 756 story. We farmed in Wisconsin around Paire Du chien. I remember when our 756 was delivered around 1974. She was big and red. We used it to run the grain carts, augers, baling hay and take Heston bails out to the Hereford cows. We would ride on those big fenders. I could just reach those peddles. Always loved to unlock the brake peddles and spin the entire tractor. Thanks for not only restoring it and keeping it running. But using it. She was always my go-to tractor.👍

[@mikedaniels6462]

Pete, you do Great videos. It's a pleasure to watch you rebuild these old tractors.

[@jetteoli4749]

sparks at 16:15 when you tried to start it

[@alexanderstuck9890]

I am sure it has been said in the comments already but you need a new safety switch. If you look close you can see the sparks of it blow out when you first started the ignition. It did work but it doesn’t now. Great job gonna be a great spring.

[@tommyt8857]

I enjoy everything about a tractor show. It’s hard to narrow down what to document. My favorite part, which you couldn’t capture on camera, is the smell of an old tractor still in it’s work clothes.

[@RoadTest411]

Almost time for a manure slinging video. Live watching the tractors work

[@bigmacbricky4866]

You have to admire the amount of thought and engineering that goes into designing a working vehicle.

[@harryjansen6789]

When you say that you don't consider yourself a Mechanic,,nothing could be farther from the truth,,I love watching you work on Tractors, so much care ,,,love all your videos, be well,

[@ChrisSmith-io5vw]

Hey Pete I always enjoy your shows I caught you on somebody else's show sitting on a Farmall firing it up at auction well buddy God bless you and your family thank you so much pray for me I've been in the hospital and rehabilitation pray for me Peter

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Best of luck and get better soon Chris.

[@carlholcomb114]

I thought I saw the safety switch arc the first time you hit the starter switch

[@googies12a]

Fantastic job! Your relaxed happy attitude and humour comes across nicely. All the best from Ireland.

[@phillipcarter6777]

I wish my school teachers had been as interesting as you are. Your videos are captivating.

[@thomasrasmuson1470]

Hi Pete, Don't ever say again you're not a mechanic, you do better work than some of the "professionals" I worked with. Watching the video I noticed as soon as you hit the start button the safety switch sparked like crazy! My guess it arched and burnt out. We use jumper wires all the time to get power to things in auto repair all the time too. Nice job and another great video! Keep 'em coming 👍

[@RatdogDRB]

Yes, I too suspect a direct short with your safety connection. When you first went to start, as soon as you engaged, beneath the platform, under your left heel there was a large flash of spark. I was looking for a cooked connector when you went to jumper it. Nice work there, it's always a joy when it works the way you want it to on start-up, and everything is nice a dry. Thanks Pete, always a pleasure.

[@rosejohnson452]

Oh boy! Another tractor purring like a dragon! Belching smoke, putting away as a thank you to you.

[@billroberts3864]

Pete, we know everything is working nicely when you smile and know you did a great rebuild on this project.

[@frankcurley]

That grin on your face when a repair is successful is worth the price of admission...thanks!

[@b.neallee7042]

Farmers have to be the best teachers. Cole the corn said today that our grandfather's had to teach their how to adjust the planters every year so wouldn't wear out. Farmer's had to the son and his son to not wear out. See how that works, that's how things last forever. Thank you for the words of wisdom Cole. Jon said the same thing the other day. My great-grandfather and my grandfather were master watchmakers and General manager of Hamilton watch company in Lancaster penn. I'm sad neither one lived long enough to teach any of his boys. We did play on his tools, parts in grand chest's from the old country. Every watch part was made and designed by them. What a great legecy. Jon your farm and equipment and your kids will be your Jon.

[@matteolaborg]

"Why do I get caught in these situations?" Well, that's all on you Pete! Congrats on the rebuild!

[@davidschlecht3016]

Pete,both you and the tractor look good for your age, both of you very capable for the chores ahead. Think spring.

[@bay9876]

I Just love it when watching the old tractor is restored. These are our farming heritage and history. They kept food on all our table through good times and bad and feels good they live for another days work. Nice entertaining work.

[@richardkirby9740]

Pete your casual approach and confidence in what you do is amazing.. I could watch you work on your tractor's for hours

[@DovetailTimberworks]

Wow, well done Pete. All that work and no leaks with a notoriously fussy bit, that must feel good! Congratulations! Can't wait to see a test drive.

[@jazzerbyte]

Congratulations on getting all that plumbing and linkage together with no leaks!

[@duett445]

I always surprised how complicated and well designed a tractor is. From a distance they look very simple and unsophisticated but are the opposite. A lot more sophisticated than the average car. Thus it takes more skill and knowledge to work on a tractor. Peter Larson has that skill . Your videos are inspirational.

[@barryrohrmeier2399]

Great video as always. Thanks for all your time and effort into making them.

[@gregwheeland6978]

I love this video series of you fixing old things on your 756! It's been very entertaining during these cold winter months

[@cherrydowns7745]

Looks like working a puzzle using parts instead of words! Watching you is fun and informative.

[@steveperyer4850]

I had no fear that things would be good Pete. When you first tried to start the tractor, I saw a spark at the neutral safety switch. Good job as always.😊

[@allamerican7830]

Your knowledge and understanding of how all that works is mind blowing sir, excellent job on explanation of what your doing. It makes it very fascinating.

[@FloridaJack]

Enjoy watching and listening to you as you work on your equipment.

[@lindamahar1244]

You are a teacher, a farmer, a entertrainer, your calm manner encourages people to listen

[@kevinkoepke8311]

It's majestic how that tractor is built, with all that cast steel and iron, hardened gears. Weight added because they were supposed to be heavy-duty. What brutes. That 756 was ordered with all the bells and whisles, but no creature comforts, like cab or rops with top. Thanks Pete!

[@hoberghacienda2267]

I love the dancing exhaust pipe! You could make it into one of those dancing noodle people, waiving at everyone as tou drive across the field. :-))

For sure about daylight savings time. The animals and grass don't notice like my old uncle would say. lol . Great learning video again Pete !

[@matteolaborg]

I love when you show the replacement part compared to the worn out original! It really helps me understand what you are seeing. Also I really appreciate your tight editing to emphasize the important operations and cutting out the looking for tools, fumbling with the wrench etc.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Priming the hydraulics is sometimes a problem for my tractor, we have replaced the Steering Sector Arm and worked on the front end a few times. Recently the arm broke and my son and I are going to be working on it soon. Always fun to watch the repairs with you, great details and enjoyable commentary for sure. Thanks Pete hope you have an awesome day.

[@ricksmith-iw2op]

Nice job Pete. I love those old red tractors. I have a couple myself. Thanks

[@allanjohnson2925]

I'm always impressed with the skill and diligence exhibited by Pete. These were the tractors I would see on the hills in Frederick County, MD in my youth. My first regular job in high school was as a dairy hand.

[@samzavinful]

Big spark around the 16:20ish mark when dealing with the safety switch...

[@ReapWhatYouSowGardening]

just a few acres is the BEST IN THE WORLD!

[@stillwatersfarmtn]

I absolutely LOVE the sound of the 756’s engine.

[@daverave3698]

Love all your video. You have my kind of sense of humor. My kids and grandkids are always groaning. Ha! Keep it up. I'm a retired engineer and have always been curious as to how things worked. I cannot tell you how many things I tore apart to see how they work and then not able to put back together. With a few more years' experience I finally was able too. My wife has always been happy that I could fix things around the house. She leaves things on the kitchen counter for me to take to my work bench to fix. Even my grandkids come to me to fix their stuff. They love to watch me do it and it's a great bonding time. But I'm getting old, and I find it harder to work on my cars. Small stuff I can still handle but the big stuff I just take in. I find all aspects of what you do very interesting, and I appreciate you sharing.

[@robreesor5011]

Morning Pete..saw you on the Farmall Fanatic channel the other day checking out another tractor.

[@mikenelson6630]

You are correct about a leak in your exhaust hose. At around 17:55 when you are checking the steering, there may be a leak near the front, but also at 18:44 there is a crack in the hose that's clearly visible when looking through the steering wheel. But then it looks like you found that one, ha ha.

[@Ihman0339]

Great work Pete. That's an awesome 756, I always loved the 56 and 66 series International tractors.

[@jpeel2066]

Great to see it all come together and work. Must be very satisfying. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@mathbrown9099]

Pete, as uneducated as I am regarding current day mechanics, you’ve reminded me of many things I learned how to do on my early model VW Bug and my first brand new car, a ‘78 Honda Accord Hatchback. Both cars allowed me to hone my skills. Thanks for the series and the mechanical reminders.

[@opendstudio7141]

Give your cameraman a raise for enduring all that smoke and not complaining too much. Hehe! BTW.. nicely crafted (suitable for a diverse and wide age range) and directed video production.

I like watching these kinds of videos. My dad had 2 of these tractors, not at the same time though. First one I was young and didn't get to drive it much. The second one came near the end of his career. We both liked using the second one more. Both had turbo's on them which was always fun to hear the whistle.

[@lewmonegan3467]

I really enjoy watching your channel. You show so much detail,and the camera is not bouncing around . Excellent !!
