You get the impression that father Phil could easily retire and spend his days restoring vintage combines

[@Oasisarethebest08]

Nice to listen to your dad talk very knowledgable man, nowadays young lads and gals would learn more working along side your dad in a week then at college for a year

[@philipkimber6302]

hi Father Phil. I miss the lovely change of engine note when the large levers pulled the belts in gear. Or the grunt as the engine almost died bringing lumps through it. But don't miss the the lack of dust protection¬. Dad had an airflow helmet to keep the dust out!

[@tommyosullivan467]

Great to see vintage Thursday back plus this is national heritage week in Ireland so this video is very appropriate, well done also to father phill, 👍

[@billythealien]

The 788 was mine previously great to see it again, would be good to see it cutting again next year

[@Tigman401]

[@MrShanbla]

Love a good vintage combine video. Neighbours of mine have a New Holland 1545, has never left the Parish since new. Bought in Spa Garage in Mallow in about 1974. Parked up now after last owner died suddenly but would love to see it going, many happy hours spent as a passenger & driver on it. Coincidentally, original owner has outlived the 2 subsequent owners!

[@davidherby3010]

Chats with Farmer Phil and Father Phil are the best things on KZbin !

[@anthonymorgan6774]

Father Phil would probably still love to be running all the old machines great to have vintage Thursday back.🚜🇮🇪☘️

[@mrcallaghanbarry]

Love vintage Thursdays! Can't wait for the startup of those combines.

[@willmoore3790]

My father had a 500 and 510 when I was a small child used to spend hours up on it when he'd be out contracting just hope one day to buy one for nostalgic reasons just like father Phil

[@eamonnflanagan1376]

Good man Phil keep father Phil videos coming. Nice to listen to him about old tractor's.i enjoy the craic👍

[@rayprior]

Hey Phill and father Phill, just back from Poland where the likes are these are in daily use, am always amazed by the machinery and how they keep it going over there, there's combine breakers left right and centre over there, have a good few pics on my phone of then all, Love your Chanell especially the videos where you all discuss the past.

[@eatsleepfarmrepeatnz4913]

Love the red paint!

[@claetuswoodroofe4164]

I passed through Longford today going to Mayo from Wicklow and I am impressed how you guys can grow tillage and get straw baled when I look at the land and rainfall you get. We baled winter barley straw this year at 10 percent moisture

[@gerryh49]

Good to see vintage Thursdays back.

[@bullsecondrow4]

[@marknaughton9921]

Great video phil very interesting...

[@padraigoleary8471]

There is an open farm in Grenagh, Co. Cork with a shed full of vintage mf combines and 20 vintage mf tractors. They might know where you can get a water pump.

[@dellhell8842]

I always knew the 400 was newer series than the 788. So they continued 788 production after the 400s came out. Didn’t know that.

[@sean11cvt80]

[@ianhaggart1438]

More backup 🤔🙄😁. Your needing to start a farming museum. Have about 5 folk fixing things father Phil in charge and have a hell of a working day when it's all done with a barbecue on top👍😉😁. I'm impressed with the amount of hidden spaces you have for stuff. My wife would need to phone me to find me 😆😁. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@clifforddark]

Hi to you all. Really interesting stuff. 1965, we bought a S/H 780s, to cut some eighty acres of barley when I was farming in North Devon. I know that I could climb those steps and drive it right away now. It all came back to me ! The reg. on your 788, KDV is a proper Devon registration, as it’s an F it would have been registered in August 67. Oh it brought it all back, the dust the rattles and no guards anywhere !Good stuff, keep it up. Thanks C

[@Gearoid35]

Great to see the old masseys I remember one cutting near me 50 years ago

[@barrymallon7066]

Great vid today

[@martincotter4017]

I love listening too them stories about the vintage machines.father Phil has great knowledge of machines.👌

[@magsprettejohn2160]

Was lovely to hear from Father Phil about the combines. Those are the sort of combine I remember my dad having when I was a kid.

[@lwalsh23]

Hi enjoyed the video, would it be possible on the next combine video to give a walk through of the workings of the combines and explain what each component does eg wobble box ,fan drum,riddle, straw walkers ect.We have never worked with combines so are interested , Thanks Liam.

[@johnjlohan5628]

Welcome back Vintage Thursday. I remember the old 780 Great machine but very slow on the road.

[@agoodbluewilldo8359]

Class stuff lads.. looking like yous will get good weather next week for d harvest. Hope you liked the tractor d kids sent ya for d competition your running.

[@corkion]

great vid

[@Modlendingen]

Nice looking combine's. A neighbour of me have a old MF combine, 70's model without a cab, i do belive it is a 206. Great machine to look at when combining :)

[@damienoconnell3387]

Father Phil is a legend

[@davidcorlett3266]

Always good to listen to y dad he nows his stuff it’s a shame the combines want get to combine any grain this year. 🇮🇲👍

[@filgan1754]

I have one for Father Phil, I’m one year younger than him, we also had a 788 and as a 4 year old I also sat on the the tool box behind the driver seat, however, and I don’t recommend this, as a 4 year old in 1975 we were cutting one day, my father was standing up and leaning over to his right hand side when I got up and went to get off as we were going along cutting. Holding on to the handrail I missed the step and swung down in front of the wheel and the combine ran right over me! Cracked my pelvis. Had a fairly new trousers on me which we didn’t get too many of in those days and I remember being most upset about a nurse in a and e cutting it from top to bottom with a scissors!

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

Lucky said Father Phil

[@mikeclifton7778]

In the good old suffix registration days a vehicle could be registered as 'new' even though it could be several years old so the E plate (Jan - July 1967) only indicates when it was registered, not the age of the vehicle when registered. I'd definitely say the 788 is older.

[@jix177]

Ah the good old 'For Reg' scrawled in marker on a couple of bits of cardboard? Didn't realise that worked over in the UK as well!

[@justinhowarth9211]

We have a after harvest party on the Saturday the clocks go back every year the best party's 😁😁

[@vincenzolorenzo]

Another brilliant video, thanks lads. I'd love to hear father Phil's thoughts on the jf fc80 in the background. Maybe one for a winters night when ye're quiet

[@JackBradley-oc4rz]

Hi fhil

[@BMurray89]

There is some knowledge in Father Phils brain, an interview between him and the Ginger Warrior would be a serious watch!

[@cillianmiddleton4586]

Jaysus I think the woman passing on the bike would of broke me 😂😂

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Brilliant 788 is way older I have to get up now in Australia so will watch at smoke And the older knife drive gave savage trouble Keep up the good work

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Phil & father. It's a pity the old girls cant be got out, it would surely get you past the 50k subs, but that's life, the show must go on. Anyhow that was a great bit of history nonetheless.

[@lindarooney3833]

Hi farmer Phil. This is Linda's husband. Does father Phil know the trick of cracking an egg into the radiator. You crack an egg into the radiator and the egg goes to the spot that's leaking and seals it. It might take more than one egg. I seen my uncle do it back in the eighties with a Ferguson tea 20. He put four eggs into radiator and that sealed her for the day. We drew turf all day after that. Never leaked a drop of water all day.

[@paulmiller8886]

You should put the specs for the water pump down below.

[@noelbreen7146]

Drove a Massey 780 back in the 1980s originally a bagger that was changed to a tank

[@paulnewman2115]

They'd look great after a power washing

[@edwardconnolly8580]

Absolutely brilliant video Phil I love your owl lads knowledge he is good when are you and liv getting married

[@newhollandalltheway9546]

Great vid will the 3690 ever be on 1 of the trailed harvesters

[@desmondg9269]

Evening all I would think in the winter nights Father Phil, should pen a book on vintage farm machinery. I will buy the first one. I remember an aunt of mine, could talk for days about life during and after the war. But now she has passed on. No one thought to write it down Father Phil has information in his head that no one has !!! That man could talk for hours No ! Days on the history of farm machinery

[@darraghmcdonagh7457]

U should try J@J in tullow Co carlow for a water pump got 1 off the shelf for my 65 massey in their
