74 year old vintage tractor left in a barn for 20 years... Will it start??
Ойын-сауық
I saw an ad for a 1946 McCormick Farmall for sale so I went to investigate.
It was pushed into a shed when it stopped running 20 years ago, the farmer needs the shed space for his new boat so he just wanted it gone.

Hey Marty! I saw this video when you first uploaded it when I was 12 or 13! At the time I was a kid who loved seeing old tractors run. This video inspired me to restore an old tractor when I get the chance. Now I’m 15, turning 16 in 2 months. And last winter I restored a ford 8n and it looks unbelievably good! Today I looked at a cockshutt 30 that I am planning on buying for my next restoration, and when my dad asked why I wanted to fix another tractor… I just kept thinking of this video! Took me awhile to find it but I was determined to let you know how much I appreciate this channel. I am now proudly subscribed! I am planning on uploading a few videos to my channel about my 8n and hopefully one day my cockshutt! Thanks again!

There is something about this man and this video that bring such solace to life. I have found myself returning to this video and watching it in full more than half a dozen times in recent years. There is some sort of peace in the way it was carried out and gifted to all of us to enjoy. Marty was the first I subscribed to on you tube and now the first I have ever commented on. I patiently wait daily for new videos as amazing as this one from him. He is the inspiration for the reason why I now have two tractors of my own to tinker with. I am blown away by how intelligent this man is! I hope to watch many more videos from him for many more years to come.

Do you watch Pete on Just a few Acres? He also restores (really nut and bolt restorations and paint too)...old Farmalls and Internationals...during the winter months as well as farming a small block in NY State...
I have vivid memories as a 12-year-old of driving a Farmall on my grandfather's dairy farm in rural Pennsylvania. My parents used to ship my brother and I out there from Texas to help take in the hay during the summer. That Farmall pulled the haywagon. As you might guess, driving the tractor is the choice job when you're taking in the hay.
There's a real level of calm and patience in the manner in which this man's way of doing things. A good lesson to learn for all men.

I was thinking the same thing!
My parents bought an old farm property back in the early 70’s. An elderly couple had passed, the estate sold everything as a package. Belongings and all.. it was like walking through history... or an antique store. In one of the large cattle barns, all the way in the back corner was an old John Deere B. Covered in years of dirt, pigeon shit, straw and leaves. I was 16 at the time, and I was well versed in automotive engines, so I at least had basic knowledge. It took me a good month after school and weekends to get it cleaned up to the point of working on it. Finally after many attempts to crank that flywheel by hand, on Easter morning.. dressed in my powder blue leisure suit ready for church.. I don’t know why I felt the need to crank it, but alas and joy... hit me at the same time... actually... oil hit me as it spattered out the exhaust pipe when it began to run. I didn’t go to church that day, but I got my ass blistered instead. I had so much fun after that... driving it down the old country roads.. I was king

For me Marty represents the true spirit of the season. He finds old machines and vehicles rotting , seemingly, into the ground. He tinkers with a few important parts, a bit of oil here, some grease here, talking all the while to the soul of this supposedly inanimate object and, a bit at a time, this bolt, that locked up joint, a drink of gas, some gearbox oil , turns the key and 20 years after this old tractor coughed it’s last beat, a spark reaches the fuel, a few pistons cough , smoke billows upwards, filling the old pole barn. Marty adjusts the choke, turns the key again and before we know it, he’s chugging his old friend across the field and onto the awaiting trailer. Happy Holidays Marty, you warmed my heart for sure. $200NZ and a deft hand and life goes on.

Recall these McCormick Farmal's when I was a kid on my grandparents dairy farm in Quebec Canada.. so sweet. Milk quota and peas and corn for the Green Giant cannery. My dad worked for the Bell Telephone, when he retired he said I should have taken on the Farm. I was so choked when he did not. Was in the family since 1823
That is so friggin' cool ! I was jumping up and down in my chair, right on! 74 years old! Amazing!
New bettery, clean connections and give er some clean gas ! That farmer missed out on a great tractor. Good on you for getting it going.

The village in the uk where I was born and grew up . There was an old guy who got a brand new Massey Ferguson . He was a lovely old gent a market gardener . His tractor sat in is wooden garage for over 40 years totally unused . Sadly Malcolm passed away. After the funeral family had to sort his house out. Eventually one said we need to look in the garage . So the tree blocking the doors was removed . Inside was the Fergy under a sheet . Flat tyres old fuel etc . This old fergy came back to life . Malcolm was so old school . I ended up paying £30 for his tidy 60s Hilman Huskycar . I was a young driver and this old car did the job for a couple of years . Eventually sold that to another old guy for £250 . That was 40 years ago. Just seeing that old tractor reminded me . Great video . Love what you do ressurecting old machines.

You got to love it when you can get a relic started and drive it on the trailer. Best feeling. One time I found a International 400 Utility in the back yard of an implement dealer. 3 point hitch, Torque Amplifier. Nice little tractor. The dealer said it was junk and wouldn't run. Paid him $250-300 as I recall. I sent my wife down the street to buy a battery. In the meantime I tore the carb apart and cleaned it. Re-set the points - which was the problem with the tractor all along. It fired up right away. I drove it past the dealers office window a couple of times just for fun. He came out and asked me if I wanted to sell my tractor! lol

We had two of these when I was a child on our dairy farm (circa 1949), near Vancouver, BC. If I am right, it is a McCormack- Deering Farmall A. ...Vintage post WW2 about 1949 or 50. Wonderful for a garden ( or hobby farm of course)... I think it has a PTO but not a 3-point hitch. I can see my mother sitting on it 70 years ago., raking windrows of hay....nostalgia is just washing over me.

my dad and I found a 1939 unstyled A john deere tractor in our shed. we ended up putting a new magneto on it and it fired right up. the owner of the house before us said the tractor had been sitting there for 40+ years. amazing how reliable these old tractors are. I guarantee in 40 years the new tractors wont start. these old tractors were built to last.
I just love how you bring these old girls back to life with all the liquid changes that are required.
Me and my father in law, purchased a 47 Cub Farmall, that had been sitting in a field for 15 years. It had a 4 inch pecan tree, growing through the planters, so we used a chain saw to cut it out. After months of soaking, we were so delighted to see it crank and run, of those old wires and plugs. Eventually, we restored it to "Like New" condition and enjoyed several parades and won a few trophies! I think I'd go back and make an offer on the boat!!!
I love that you got the owner to hold the camera while you drove it onto your trailer. 👏
Thanks Marty for a fine video. Long ago my beloved Uncle had a FarmAll Cub, very similar to this one, and about 8-10 awesome horsepower . I was a 12 year old boy and DYING to drive ANYTHING. It was heaven sitting in that seat and actually moving. Many many hours have been spent in tractor seats since then, and the thrill is gone.My Uncle is long gone, may he rest in peace, and I am not too far behind him, but the old tractors will never die A tearful TYVM for the trip down memory lane on the little tractor.

And Marty, It's commendable that you checked all of the fluids, including gearbox oil.... and greased/lubricated everything, even before you tried to move the tractor out of the shed. With some good maintenance that Farmall tractor should last another 70 years, to be a piece of farming history. I grew up on a farm in Missouri myself, and have driven Farmall model "C" and "M" tractors several times as a kid. ( And in the 1970's , their newer cousins: International model 706, and 1466 ) Glad to see that people are taking the time to bring several of these tractors "back to life" with some work and care.
It brings a tear to my eye when I see an old piece of machinery come to life again. I feel the past owners living in it and I see the tractor smiling with its new life. Great job great video.

I bought a small 1970 caravan about 5 yrs ago just because I liked it.. My experience was just as yours, the farmer wanted it gone and we agreed to a silly small price. The van was in perfect condition still in 1970 style down to the bone handled eating utensils. I love having it in my life and sleep in it often. I'm writing these words while sitting in it.
It had no problem with spark and a minimal carb problem with the bowl not sealing. You got lucky, son!

The "tooka, tooka, tooka" of that oil can brought to my mind, reviving the tin man in the Wizard of Oz! I really enjoyed this video!
It brings me joy to see these vehicles that were once the best in their class running again. Once a legend always a legend. Keep up the great work dude.
Seriously, Marty I admire the way you work !!! real true professional and with a great disciple of work as well as very methodic !!! You are with no doubt my N° 1 mechanic !!! SUPER simple but great!!!
Absolutely awesome watching you get these beautiful tractors up and running. Every few years we would visit a man my father was in the service and I would ride on the two arce farm. Thanks for the memories too.
Hello from Kalamazoo Michigan USA. When I was a child we lived on an eighty acre farm. Our garden tractor was a Farmall Cub. It was a good little machine.

This video reminded me of getting my 1959 Farmall Cub going again about 15 years ago. It’s been in our family since 1962 and we used it for lawn mowing and cultivating tobacco. It’s been tucked safely in my barn the past 8 years living the good life!
