Next year you got to buy a deere

[@SteveMaclean-yh9wq]

They look after you if you send stuff down under?? Got nothing to ship myself, thought I might buy some KZbin merch at last, but buggered if I'm paying US$ for a tshirt, if the postage would cover a cheap engined thing!!!😂😂🍻🍻 Love your work guys Stevo

@georgiaridgerunner79 ya they did and they had a vid

[@zendoargos4988]

The farming content on this channel is top notch. I love your normal videos, but the farm content is a nice change of pace.

[@iwantmyvanback]

For real. I was excited for every farming video last year. It's a great idea

[@livewithnick]

I totally agree!

[@tractorboy373]

Love it

[@user-ul3vu4ks2p]

it's what feeds our country! The fact that some kids can get worn out farm equipment and work ground with it just shows how lucky we are to live in the greatest country on earth

[@TheDRon75]

The pliers content is above and beyond

[@tbirdracefan]

Glad to hear that Luke lives close by again and has more free time. I also agree with him that you need your own tractor. This years planting went much smoother than last years though.

[@caseyorosz3619]

Imagine what that 460 could do with all 6 cylinders! They only had around 50 HP, but that was a different kind of horsepower back then.

[@rezh1999]

They use twin back wheels for most heavy work plowing rear wheel actually so they use that 50hp in every way they could And the fact that engine and frame of tractor could take a beating and still work is why old tractor are better than new plastic ones Yes a 300hp john deere is better but need much more care with all the computer and sensitive parts Like my pa used to said “old but gold”

[@TR19]

Horsepower before the 70s were actually how many horses it could replace 😂😂😂

[@Batti2323]

So good to hear Luke is local again! I love seeing these old tractors do work.

[@Mr.FluffyYT]

It's awesone to see these old vehicles / farm equipment get the proper treatment they deserve!

[@AutoCrete]

I did notice the intermittent functioning of the highly coveted mosquito fogging option. For the comfort of the tractor operator I sure hope they get the fogger working right.

[@thedungeondelver]

Question: Will Angus be joining along on the Farmyard Digs series? Honestly last year with the comedy y'all brought (along with the revivals) like "THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS." and "Got pliers?" it was just too good!

He probably has the big pliers, too.

[@KurtClark]

I'm two generations removed from Minnesota Farmers. Watching you take this forgotten equipment, giving it a little love, and planting a crop is great content. I wish I knew more about that equipment, and how to be a farmer. Because I have tremendous appreciation for people who work the land and provide something good and tangible for America. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for reviving these old rigs!

[@benniehazelwood9276]

It's not as easy as it looks it's hard work up before the sun comes up bed after the sun goes down if your lucky enough to do that.

[@markmurphy3578]

The tractors are more epic adventures than anything else on the channel! But the whole farm machinery episodes are excellent. Plus Jessie and Luke both being back on the channel is really good. Looking forward to seeing them again. Bravo guys 👏

That tractor is sweet 👌Mook is such a kind heart to all the little beasties. Very cool to see you and Luke getting to visit more and more.

[@alan6832]

As he starts to disk, I can see a lot of blowby shooting down out of the slobber tube, so much that it might save fuel to try to plumb that slobber tube back into the intake. That engine might be worn enough to think about a ring sealing oil additive like Restore, too.

Great effort Junk Yard Digs Farm from Sydney Australia. From soldering the float valve right through to "spilling the beans." Getting the old farm implements running is not easy. You make my smile, for sure 🌏🇭🇲 .

[@hotel.colorado]

I really enjoy the change to the farming videos. Not only does it show what average farmers go through, it's just nice to see old equipment in general get a second chance at life.

[@abaker5410]

Last year’s farm revival series was what brought me to your channel. Was very happy to see this video show up, enjoyed watching it. Keep up the good work guys! I would love to see the occasional 1 minute short over the course of the growing season to see how the crop is doing. Cheers!

[@JunkyardDigs]

We will try to include it in the videos better this year!

[@Tractors101]

I've been working on fixing up a 460. They are neat tractors. Beware the year, the first year production had many many transmission issues because the driveline was not built heavily enough to handle the power of the larger engines. International Harvester completely redesigned the transmission and offered a fix to all the early machines. Otherwise they are great machines. If you look at the underside of the transmission and see some welded patches or anything of that sort then you will know that the transmission has had a failure and been repaired.

[@fk4515]

Ah yes The 460/560 the beginning of the end for IH. It was actually the rear end/final drives that were failing. I was expecting a "time to check the gas and fill the oil" quip the way that thing was smoking. Do you think the rings were bad when it was parked or did they get gummed up or frozen while it was taking a long rusty nap?

[@darrellhickel3970]

But they were sold as a low ter puller thier first year. Thier 3rd year was when they guarantee the product lol

[@Tractors101]

@@fk4515 By the way it looks and the way it runs I would say its just tired. Note the trouble that it has when trying to get it to move where it just stalls out. The one I am working on also does this on occasion but because It's down a cylinder. I can hear all 6 firing in this video. It's just a well used machine.

[@brockstarg2296]

I can't remember where I heard it, but I believe that the 460s and 560s with an X stamped on the serial tag were repaired by IH.

[@jimg7784]

Glad Luke and you will be getting back together, ya’ll have good chemistry. Always enjoyed you collaberations.

[@lindanelson8400]

I really enjoy the farming videos using the old equipment. Great to see Luke again, glad he lives closer now. Can't wait to see your next collaboration with him. Good luck with the beans. 🚜🇺🇸 🚜🇺🇸 🚜🇺🇸

I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED WATCHING LAST YEARS SERIES! Couldn't have timed it better! Can't wait to see how this year will go! 😄

[@michaelbloom5342]

Your farming videos are far and away my favorite episodes. I have a 1958 Ford 641 Workmaster myself, and I named her Gertrude, or Gerdie for short. That old gal still puts in *WORK*, too!

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

Ah yes! A new episode from Corngard, the mythical realm of endless fields of corn, where farmers can farm forevermore. I missed these. :D

[@kennethphipps6561]

I really enjoyed last year's farming series. You guys prove that you don't need million dollar equipment to do the job. Good luck with your crops this year!

[@farmall706D]

Kevin, the lever next to your left leg when driving the tractor is your Torque Amplifier. You can pull it back and it will help you if you're going through a tough spot in the field.

[@jdeno76]

I love all the videos! Our Big Red 250 was a life saver on the farm! Get a small trailer built for that Honda and you're set for carrying all your tools/fuel/supplies and get another for pulling equipment. Plus, I'm not sure how Iowa ATV/ATC laws work, but a slow moving vehicle sign on a "farm use" trailer keeps you from getting pulled over in IN....or used to anyway lol

[@InnocentMiscreant]

Even on the well worn tires that tractor stayed hooked up and pulled like a champ

[@onemat2000]

Wow, I really enjoyed that. We always watch for your car and truck stuff, but I really enjoyed watching you fix the tractor, prepare the ground, and then plant the beans. I've never seen that so up close. It was being there right with you. I'm originally from Connecticut and we had mostly dairy farms. My wife is from Wisconsin, so this stuff she knows well. For me it was great to see this little slice of farming.

[@Alex_explorer004]

So happy farm vids are back I wish you the best of luck

[@Kurtiscott]

“They’re the puppies of spiders” -made me do a spit-take. Another fun episode all around.

[@peterhulse1064]

My uncle Fred had an ancient Case tractor that he bought when the horses got old. He parked it behind the carriage house for winter; drained fluids, took out the battery and put a can on the exhaust. Reverse the process in spring and she always started right up. Good stuff. That tractor was my first driving experience.

I kinda like seeing all this old junk out in the field again. I feel your pain with the Farmall fuel nightmare. When i was fourteen I took the SuperM carburetor off so many damn times that i wouldn't even get on it without a wrench in my pocket. I like your float bulb fix. My old neighbor suggested the same "fix". I thought he was a genius at the time. Turns out he was experienced AND genius! Thanks, Mr.Canterbury, for helping this clueless kid get that old junker runnin' a million years ago.

[@alan6832]

If they are going to have a dedicated farm truck, when they already have multiple trucks already, shouldn't it have better traction? with either 4wd or a 200 engine and mudder type drive tires??? Dedicating a 2wd big block v8 truck with highway tires to exclusively farm use seems nonsensical to me. My dedicated farm truck, which I recently put back on the road after selling the farm, is a 1982 Dodge W150, 4wd with 225. and granny gear 4 speed. I recently removed the mudder tires for it's first Florida trip.

[@thewarinthunder379]

I'm so glad I got to learn fromy yalls channel. I've grown up around small engines with my father and loved it for years until I got my first little car, it wasn't carburatorated but it was something. Went from that to wanting my dream truck, a 1979 ford f150 4x4 with a 351 in it. Well low and behold my buddy I worm with has finally let me buy his 79 351 extended cab, long wheel and 4x4. This is my first carburatored truck and my dream to work on it to get it running since parked 6 years ago!
