He reminds me of an old fella at deer camp. Last few times he went hunting he walked with 2 canes and only went in about 50 yards from camp, but he got out there. Half the treat of going to deer camp was to sit around the fire and listen to old "Trapper" tell us how it was in the day. I miss him.

What an amazing video, the ingenuity of Danny’s father, wow, good to see guys and gals like yourself Kevin keeping the old way alive and sharing with us. Covid isolation and boredom allowed me to find you and so far ive been binge watching you. You are right up there with the best, not to forget the rest of the gang. Thank you.

Hi All, I have so enjoyed watching this video of this old gent and his lifetime of stories including the memories of the days he and his friends enjoyed this tractor, homemade and with his buddies. These are the stories I love to watch and this guy is a true treasure. If my Dad was still alive this is the man he reminds me of. Peace, Lou G.

Nothing better than sitting hearing old stories from an old timer with a beer in hand and a self made garden tractor running. I paused at 16 minutes and 52 seconds just to see you both sitting and admiring the machine and reminds me of me and my dad sitting around a fire telling stories of all the stuff we've worked on. Amazing video.

Tractor reminds me of the 1948 Gibson I resurrected from a junk yard I worked at. They were very simple back then.

You need to do ALL of the content with Denny. There is a lifetime of history, stories, and resourcefulness of a vanishing generation around that farm.

That is so freaking cool!!! I love seeing old machinery run again,and the stories about them I’m sure are awesome. Reminds me of my parents old toro lawn mower they had, it had a ripcord on top and it was always a real challenge getting it started after a long cold winter.

Seriously the highlight of my youtube viewing career, this and the nascar RV episode, I legit love what content you got and keep it coming. My late gramps was a WWII vet, he's lived so far back he told stories of how he impressed neighbors with his horse-riding skills. He would have appreciated that tractor.

That's a cool little tractor (I love the safety-schmafety design era) and Denny is awesome. Just goes to show you, if you can ever sit down with a guy who's been around a while and hear some stories, it's usually worth it.
