  1. 00:54 I've been looking for an F-12 on which to try my hand. It's small, so it'll fit my small garage shop. at 01:28, you show an Oliver 44, considered by Oliver guys to be pretty rare, since Oliver only made 750 of them. Then you show the WK-40 (the K is for Kerosene, as you say) at 03:15 ; if you search YouTube for Bud Youle, you'll find a long and humorous talk Bud made with Lee Klancher about selling the Snoopies. This was at I think, one of the International shows back in the 20-teens. The IH 8-16 Mogul at 15:06 was very cool as well! It's sometimes difficult to figure out the difference between who sold Moguls and who sold the contemporary Titan line. Funny how this Mogul looks like an early version of the "Snoopy" articulated monsters near the end of IH. Thanks for taking us along! ~~Jeff from CT

  2. It’s a whole WORLD, so detailed and deep and amazing. Thank you for sharing it. Clearly, you are far from alone in your fondness and respect for older generations of working tractors and the people who built and used them. The drone footage showed the surprising scale of this event. To my eyes, these old machines are far more interesting and varied than automobiles. They did far more than cart people around. Some of the oldest ones reminded me of old locomotive steam engines.

  3. Enjoyed the show Dave,,,love all that old stuff,,has more character than the new ones,,,most of those i have only seen pictures of,,,i live in Florida so i don't get a chance to visit shows like that,,maybe one day,,stay safe and 😍🇺🇸

  4. Glad you guys were able to come out! One of the guys in the garden tractor group I'm in tagged me in a reply on a post and said he saw my rolling swingset in the video lol.

    So to answer your question as to what the heck it is, she's a 48/49 Bolens Ridemaster garden tractor with the add-on High Clearance kit that Bolens offered to make it into a nursery/vineard tractor. If you're ever in Macedon, feel free to look me up on facebook, I'd be happy to let you do a vid on her and take it for a spin, granted I'm working on making a standard axle for her so I can run her around the home property without hitting tree trunks lol.

  5. Pete in the building where you showed the miniatures , you said run on air! Their was a small steam engine, I got one just like it as a Christmas present. They use esbit fuel to heat the water. They are a running steam engine. I think I was 12 yrs old , I still have it!

  6. We have the Sunbelt AG Expo down here every October. It draws a crowd with the latest farming technology and restored technology of yesteryear. I'm looking forward to it this year. Enjoyed the video Pete.

  7. That Rumly oil pull A/C was made in the town I live in. The factory has been tore down now. Laporte Indiana. Alot of cool tractors and Equipment. Thanks for the show. Hope you feel better. 👍🙂

  8. Love your farm videos, all of them. My husband and I love watching you and Hil work together. Love the new painted hay wagon your dad did. Love the interaction of the animals while you do maintenance and feeding. Good job! Love your kids!

  9. My husband and I went to the Rantoul, IL, antique tractor show a couple years ago – looks very similar! The steam engines did plowing “demonstrations”. Took about 8-10 guys for some. Hundreds of tractors (if not thousands), your common to your rare; vendors, even some horse drawn demos for pre-tractor plowing. If you’re ever in the area it was pretty awesome! Only every two years – I think 2023 is the next one.
