THE MOST AMAZING VIDEO EVER!!! (possibly an exaggeration)

Yes, finally, it's THE MOST AMAZING VIDEO EVER!!! Well maybe that's an exaggeration...quite possibly I just couldn't think of a name for a video I made so I came up with a goofy title. Who reads the video descriptions anyway? Most folks just skim the title and thumbnail and either move on, or press the magic play button.
But it is a fun video: I get the Farmall Super A out to plow some snow, spend some time with the pigs, piglets, cattle, and chickens, and goof around in the job. What more could a farmer ask for!

Hi Pete, my name is John and I live in a small village in Gloucestershire England and watching your channel brings me a little bit of happiness every time I watch one of your videos. I absolutely love your channel so I'd like to say thank you for cheering me up every time I watch your videos. Take care Pete and God bless you and your family and animals. 🙂🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲👍

[@patriciavincent1569]

I laughed so hard at the good bye to the grease mess that my son thought that I went crazy! Love your video's and the fun you put into the video's. Thank You for the laughs.

[@bobwollard9105]

Pete, I love your channel. There is something interesting each time. Your sense of humor is a real hoot. I build and rebuild race engines as a hobby. But I draw the line at transmissions and gear boxes. Envy guys like you who can understand that black magic whirleygig voodoo. Stay warm brother. God bless.

BUT Pete does such a great job describing the innards of said gear boxes! 😎 Tim in northern TN

[@dennisderby8705]

Great sense of humor

[@kathrynhelm4176]

😂🤣 LOL! That was the best Departing Sludge ceremony ever! Such fun. The opening music almost had me standing up and saluting the Magnificent Farmall. 😝. Great way to start my day. ❤️🥰

[@douglasthompson9482]

Fabulous video Pete.....you and me must be twins. Love your videos, Happy 2022. I was a machinist / millwright for decades. Working on large equipment like your tractor parts. You do well.

[@SusanDGElf]

Pete, I love your humor and the channel. When you were imitating someone watching you clean the sludge...well, that's what I have to tell my partner all summer. "I watched Pete cutting hay on the farm. Just watching the grass grow." Keep up the great work and the fun videos. Stay warm! (It's 70 in Phoenix today.)

[@nancyyarbrough1445]

Mr. Pete, thank you for your videos! Your demeanor and your voice are so comforting, in this crazy messed up world. You are reaching so many people with that calming attitude, as I read the comments and share in the sentiment with all others that you are such a joy to watch and listen to.

[@donnaparrish7638]

I think driving that old Farmall must just be the most fun. You’re doing the job I used to do. Took a lot of pride in washing parts. The animals and birds look healthy and happy even if it is cold out. Hope Hilarie and the family are all doing good. Thanks for sharing Pete! I think it is appropriate to play mouth taps for the burning 🔥 rag.

[@lkidawg407]

To the pigs tap right lmao 🤣

[@elaineschwarzhoff238]

Love your videos ! It’s a bright spot on yet another January day! Love your old tractors! The music as your tractor emerged from the barn was epic! Keep the positive attitude

“Flight Of The Valkaries” That’s some sophisticated snow plowing, and I like it!

[@nateerjavsek9509]

Hello Pete I watch your videos like a favorite tv show always waiting for the next episode, I grew up spending time with my grandfather on the farm and watching you with the animals is so peaceful. I can’t explain how much I enjoy all of the episodes. Thank you

[@ronaldbeuron3766]

Pete, I say this from the bottom of my heart... You and Hilary are those rare people who work very hard to make the world a better place. The last few days have been very traumatic for me and after watching this video... everything will be ok. Thank you for your dedication, your integrity and yes... your humor!

[@n.elliottnoorlun8304]

Loved your music for conquering the snow at the beginning of this video!!! And, Pete, I really had a giggle as you had your mock ceremony for the service of the sludge!! I check here every day to see if you've posted a new chapter in the "Just A Few Acres" saga!! ;o)

[@jlhaslip]

Pete, Couple of things to improve the Parts Washer... 1) put an old speaker magnet down in the bottom near the pump to pick up small metal bits that might mess up the pump. 2) find a way to plumb the pump through a small tubing that runs to the brush so the brush is always wet with fluid. The Parts Washer I used had it from the factory, so maybe a kit can be found on the Interwebs.

[@bobbailey4954]

Both good ideas

[@interestedobserver9352]

No exaggeration - this was an amazing video! You made us laugh, and as with your humor usually, without meanness and without insulting anybody .. out of the ordinary in our present times. So, yes ..an amazing video! Thanks.

[@nicholasthompson5325]

Dear Pete, There is something so satisfying about watching your winter themed videos. It reminds me of my childhood. I knew when you placed the sludge ridden rags in the bucket that an oily BBQ would soon take place. Cheers!

[@sarahburkdorf8338]

Always love to see your Farmall super A pushing snow ! It always reminds me of my father, he started dairy farming in 1943 and his tractor was a Farmall A.

[@ingeborgm6147]

That is a new one even for the Valkyries, but I am sure they don't mind one bit riding along! I am sure they do; they can feel it in your heart!

[@davebarlow7217]

I'm a 60 year old man, been home sick all day. I found your channel during covid and have followed you since. I've binged watched you all day. My day went by like I was okay. Love the content thanks for sharing.

[@duaneatsaltysixhomestead5405]

My dad had a 1940 Allis Chalmers Model B that he used to plow with. He fabbed the plow from a piece of one of those old cylindrical-style manure spreaders. 👍

[@luisez.5888]

Playing the Walkürenritt when the tractor emerged from the barn was just hilarious! Man thanks for your videos!

Hello Luise

[@mikejohnson9862]

Great stuff all around on your channel here Pete! I have a Farmall A, H and Cub all are from the 1940's and love the videos of you working on / operating your Farmall's! Keep it up man 👍👍

Hey Pete, if you get too cold, you can always stand in the corner where it's 90' degrees 😅😅😅

[@budrome4247]

As my dear ole dad usta say, “it don’t take much to amuse some folks.” Guilty as charged. Love your stuff Pete.

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

LOL! It doesn't take much to amuse me, that's for sure.

[@vangiefich]

I love your videos! I'm so glad we don't usually get much snow, if any. I like that just fine!! I lived in Alaska for 13 years. I did enough "snow duty" to last a lifetime!

[@thomassmith6344]

Hello vangie

[@kailand3056]

Pete, the Flight of the Valkyries intro music was definitely amazing - it would have been even more fun if you had on a winged Viking helmet. Watching you clean out the sludge in the parts washer was both gross and satisfying.

[@justinwetzel681]

That WAS the most amazing video ever! Seriously though thank you for taking us through this rear-end rebuild in such detail. I need to do my H soon. I have no 5th gear, the transmission whines, the belly pump leaks...well, everything leaks. Anyways...THANK YOU!

[@joehovanec1985]

I see you got the snow we sent up from South Carolina. Good that you talked and showed your parts cleaning methods. It's always good seeing how other people do things. That's some smudge pot you came up with.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

The Super A says to his big brothers "move out of the way boys, I got this." I do look forward to seeing the MD in action. It was Patti who kicked Mr. Pete in the head because he didn't bring fresh hay quick enough when she hollered. 😂 Mr. Pete you're videos are like dose of Spring tonic on a cold winter's day!

[@edwardmoore5325]

Nice little tractor.My father had a farmall 140 that he used in his garden and cornfields.We lived in southern Maryland in the 60s til his passing in 1993.good memories from those days.people were nicer then but it's terrible now.I 'll be 72 this year.and i worked as a union electrician .stay safe people.

[@keneckel2269]

You need to get a windshield for that thing! Great video ... keep up the excellent work! I am 76 years old and my heart doesn't allow me to "get out and about" very much so I love "doing things" with you!

[@larryiowatexasrooster9317]

👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed! You're too funny. Seeing you burn the old slime reminded me when Dad would empty an old grease bucket (before cartridges) he would light it and let it burn out all the remaining grease. Then it became a chore bucket...back then they were all metal buckets👍 Now they're all plastic.

[@bobwellman9717]

9:45 I work for a major forklift company. My recently retired supervisor told me the same thing. It's all about the amount of torque applied. I have never seen any lock washers on any of our lift trucks, and I've been there 17 years.

That reminds me of the Formal Cub my father had. I have a lot of great memories of using that tractor.

Hi Pete, Thanks again for your great videos. I love them! That was a very respectful send off. Have you thought of auditioning to be a bugler? LOL! The piglets are looking great ... all of them. cheers for now. Yours in Gratitude

[@windetrails]

Great video, especially about the part where you say you'll put the greasy rags over there underneath the heater where they'll be out of the way. LOL!! Now that was good. You're making a tractor overhaul, not only educational but fun. Fifteen years! Really? LOL

[@glengillis7775]

That little tractor is my favorite. Love the size. Works great. Like the music when it came out of shed. Your so funny Pete.

[@mohawkvalleytoday4070]

Hey there Pete - Jim here! I really appreciate your videos. You’re always very informative and entertaining. I learn something from each of your videos - even if I will likely never disassemble my tractor. You bring just the right level of drama for me for the times we’ve been having. Found your channel last year and you’re one of the folks that inspired me to start my own channel. Stop on by when you get a chance and say hello.👋

That little 'A' does a good job of plowing snow. Love the (man) power angle, too. 20th today when I am watching this and it is going down to -24°F tonight at North Bay, Ontario. Maybe you could have saved the oily bucket for summer time, I hear mosquitoes really like oil smoke.

[@davidschlecht3016]

Pete, just a thought about the sweet feed and not noticing much gain, maybe it's going to energy for warmth in the colder air. Good to see the work on the back half of the mighty MD.

[@mikescaffo4850]

Hey Pete thanks for your videos I enjoy watching you play with and work on the old tractors around your farm how you are a simple man and don't need everything new and aren't afraid to work on that old iron you bring my up when I watch you thanks and keep up the good work

[@JustMe-bu8pu]

Pete, have you thought of putting small (maybe 1/4") neodymium magnets in the Oil Troughs? I know Machinists put them in their Machines to catch the small shavings.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

I really like those cleaners, they make a nasty job, well, less nasty. I have to do mine with a pan and brush, but it still gets the job done. Good tip with the oven cleaner, I will have to remember that for the next time I do cleaning of a cavity like the transmission housing. Thanks for the video and you have a great week also!

[@davidparker886]

Great ‘ride of Die Valkyrie’ sequence. Love your sense of humour!

[@johnhartman7078]

Another great and interesting video! I am a bit surprised to see the "C" Farmall sitting outside; likely due to limited storage space in the building. A "C" was my favorite childhood tractor, owned by my uncle on a dairy farm.

Good video Pete. I enjoy the Animals ,But I always really enjoy watching you work on the tractors too. God bless.

[@TheSkidrowyachtclub]

Hi Pete, great channel, I watch every video. Just a suggestion on your last video - when decanting liquid out of a large container like you were doing with the solvent, try the spout at the top. As in rotate the container 180°. This allows air to enter the spout and makes pouring so much easier! Jeff across the lake Cobourg, Ontario

[@bobbailey4954]

I live in Arizona and never really had to spend months on end with snow or bitter cold. And I can see how after awhile you would end up talking to yourself and or in your case talking to tractor parts and I’m convinced your tone of voice helps the final assembly go smooth as silk just the way your other rebuilt tractors run.

I always put a magnetic block heater on my parts washer in winter. Nice to have it kind of warm.

I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Squatch 253 gave a plug for your channel yesterday and I have subscribed. I grew up in the western end of Dryden Township, Tompkins County, with an Ithaca Post Office address, so not very far from your farm. My late father was a professor of pathology at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.

[@jacksrbetter1870]

Greetings Pete and Hillary, That was a spectacular intro! Love the channel, content, and humor. I do wish I lived closer though, 1,100 + miles to buy a steak or chicken is a bit of a stretch, however I have a feeling it may be worth it. Saying hello from above 70+ degree average January in Florida and wishing you all the best!!

[@ryanlokken6859]

I could be wrong, but I think that the chunk of material that you pulled out of the oil trough is a piece of the sand mold from when the transmission case was cast. It’s what it looks like to me anyways.

[@p0ky]

Pete, we got the same storm system here in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) up in Ontario. However in my area we got around 2 feet (50-60cm) , but it was fairly light, not heavy and icy. Which made clearing the snow a bit easier at least. Another great video Pete! Just as an FYI, I originally was one of your viewers who liked the farming aspect more than your tractor restoration videos, but over time I've come to enjoy and appreciate them a lot more. Keep them coming!

[@Rdrake1413]

We had quite a bit of snow here in Northwestern PA. Had a big storm Sunday. Plowed the driveway Monday morning and then it snowed all day covering the driveway again. I've got a 1950 Super A with the #60 Leveling & Grader Blade

[@superliner101hobbyfarming]

I think it would be awesome if this summer if time allows you made a video filling a wagon of square bales since you don’t have any videos of that, and you could pull the baler with the fully painted md! I’d also like to see that other style Tedder in action

[@RatdogDRB]

That is odd, how those shavings balled up like that. But, it's nice and clean now, that's what matters. Amazing how quickly the parts flash-rust. Happy critters, life is good. You wouldn't know what to do if Patty didn't belly-ache.

Hey Pete, we are close to you and installed a drinking post waterer. OMG! It sat in the barn for a year before we installed it. I was an idiot. It works perfectly. My cows love it.

[@SuperMAZ007]

That was a lot of gunk in that parts washer but oh the memories. In the old day's I used diesel fuel to clean parts but back then they did not add ethanol and it was dirt cheap. Now I use only parts washing chemicals that leave the surfaces clean and grease free. Don't have as a fancy parts cleaner as you Pete, but I get things cleaned despite that. Only takes longer.

[@zodszoo]

I typically use brake parts cleaner to ensure all things are clean. But that too is getting more pricey all the time.

[@SuperMAZ007]

@@zodszoo Break cleaner is definitely good for the finishing job. But I have had to clean parts where gear oil and dirt cave become concrete and that may require sometimes soaking parts in fuel before scraping them clean.
