Red Power Roundup 2023 Day 3: Tractor Nerding and Meeting

I’m at the 2023 International Harvester Red Power Roundup in Grand Island, Nebraska. In this third video, on day three of the show, I go in-depth about the Farmall tractors on display and their “family trees,” talk about what the hobby means to me, and have a viewer meetup.

  1. i have a ih cub cadet 1650 i started to restore 10 years ago but the last 8 years i been working so much and so much stressful life I haven't had time to finish it.

  2. Thank you Pete! We’re a 7 generation farm East of you near Albany. I’ve done our 1948 Cub over and now we’re starting on our 1930 Farmall Regular. We are the original owners. Curious why you never cover the Cubs at all? Think I saw one in one of your farm videos.

  3. Hi! Thank you for sharing. I am following your channel from Norway. I grew up with IHs, and today I have a 434 and 955 on my small farm. Love your stuff. Keep ‘em coming. 😊🇳🇴🇺🇸

  4. Young man when I first saw your videos on u tube I thought you were just another wannabe I think I was very wrong after watching and listening to your videos. there is something about your Super C restore I would like to ask that I did not see you cover, Ill get back I hope.

  5. Hi Pete,
    I thank you for showing this tour of all those amazing tractors. I never knew there was a show for farm equipment and one day would love to attend this event.
    I have an older tractor super D about 1961 that we used on the farm years ago. So now it just sits and sadly don't have use for it anymore. If you can point me in the direction where someone might be interested in purchasing I would be grateful. I will continue to follow your videos as it takes me down memory lane when I was a teen. Thanks again for your videos.
    Fred.

  6. I love the cornpicker on the m at 20:32. My grandpa darr had a picker on the 41m we have now but it on longer has the picker. It still has the spindles on the front axle. Our m has a heistler 9 speed and a m&w hand clutch. It was also cool seeing the m at 22:58 with a Electral baler. The second one Ive ever seen. My first was at red power roundup 2017. It was a super mta tractor on front. It would have been interesting if electral caught on but maybe today in these times it might come back. Ik people don't like 100 electric stuff but what if it was like the electral which was like a generator. Again it's as if it was hydraulic that might be why hydraulics and pto took over everything today.

  7. Great video! I rode my Harley down, from Spokane WA, to overdose on red tractors. I've attended a dozen or so Red Power shows, and they are all great. Had a pedal 400, in my very early days, rode a International bus to school, grew up with an International fridge in the kitchen, and spent lots of time on Farmall tractors. BK

  8. The chest freezers bring back memories….my least favorite of which was trying to get one out of the basement of an old farmhouse. You definitely wouldn't be loading them in the back of your truck for market!

  9. It is amazing the things that international came up with. I had a relative who worked for them for several years and I looked up the patents that his name is on, and too bad those things dont exist today (that I know of). Things like tractor mounted balers for the letter series.

  10. The tractors from the 50's,60's and early 70's seem to be the sweet spot for a balance of style,power,reasonable comfort,ability to repair/ restore,transport,store,afford,and are more human sized than the giant tractors of today-progress??? Also, this seemed to be the era of great u.s. manufacturing from 1900-1970. Just my opinion/o observation.

  11. Looks like a great show Pete! Thanks for all the beautiful tractors, was there no tractractors at the show? Out of all the videos I’ve found so far I’ve not seen a single machine on tracks.

  12. I think it’s just amazing that after all the years that these tractors are still running and look as good as they look. I B can’t see why you love these old tractors. But seeing you meet all the many viewers from the young to the old is just heart warming. Seeing the many kids that watch just a few acres farm is just mind blowing. But I can see why they like watching, not just the information you provide it’s the entertainment v and fun videos you and Hillary bring to us each week. Just a great change channel to watch. 😊

  13. My father bought an O 14 from a local Case dealer located in Batavia NY in 1966. I sold the tractor back to the son of the dealer in 1988 and have been trying to buy it back for the past 16 years. As best I can tell, they only made the O 14 in 1938 and 1939 in low production numbers. Please let me know if you ever come across and O series as u need one to trade with the current owner of my father's tractor. Love your content.

  14. I am always amazed at the way you and your voice just draws me into subjects that I have no interest in. As an 80 year old women that grew up in the city of Miami Florida I am watching tractors. Thanks Pete for all the great videos.

  15. Hi Pete.
    I watch you from Kenya.
    I enjoy your shows a lot.
    I was amazed how much history and tradition revolved around these tractors!
    The people also seemed so genuine and loving.
    Thanks a lot.
