Precious, precious days, Henry. This sentence is coming from an 83 yr old great-grandma who watched our son and grandson work on their "gray and red". Again, thanks for the memories, Henry and Pete. May God Bless and Keep you all.

Remember, Henry. What do we do to strangers on the internet? That's right. We ignore them. Great job helping dear old dad out. He's a great man and a fantastic teacher. I have great admiration for your dad.

And there's the dad joke. A tad cerebral but that's what daddy's like to do. It can't be faked.😱

The way Henry's father completed the work on the farm made me admire.
16:03 Henry's clapping takes me back to working in the garage with my dad on the family cars and having silent little celebrations that something worked. My ever-stoic Dad never much noticed or joined in but it was fun being his cheerleading, light-holding apprentice!

Excelente comentário! Memórias maravilhosas e que vai lembrar com saudosismo um dia.
Pete and Henry it was good seeing you both working together. Those extra hands that are learning are also very helpful. It still amazes me that people like you and I Pete can set timing by listening and watching the engine running for the timing to be set today's stuff nope. Thank you Ed

My dad was an auto and diesel mechanic. When he was growing up in Brooklyn he knew a deaf man who could adjust the engine by placing his hand on the fender. He knew from the vibrations if it was running smoothly or not
Hi Henry It is wonderful to see you with your son. He looks happy to be with you and spending time with u My dad never wanted to be with me he was a mean drunk he died and it was to late u keep making good memories with your son it is real good to see . He will always love you and respect you and no one can take the good times with you away.
Well played Henry, "Not from you." Then dead-pan walk away. That's how you make the ol' man laugh. Would that little tractor be a good choice for running the sickle-bar cutter for reaching beneath the fences for keeping those groomed? That could become a good Henry job to get used to the feel of a tractor. That's great that he's taking an interest in that little ol' girl.
2:18 😳🤣 Nice father and son passing of the torch. Knowledge that is. You guys are blessed to have each other Pete. Love your videos. Thank you.
Pete enjoy how you take things slowly to make sure it is done right. You teaching your son reminds me how I teach mine. My son Nathan Henry will soon be 14 in March. Teaching them is important, just like my dad taught me. You telling him about watching out so he doesn’t poke the screw driver in his hand. That was so true because we probably poked ourselves a few times. Thank you for sharing. Blessings🙂
Pete glad you are teaching Henry how to work on equipment it sure does make lasting memories
Nice to see a young man with his pants pulled up and learning life skills! Great job Mom! Good job Pete. 😂😂
"Not from you"!!! Brutal Henry brutal. 🤣🤣🤣
As always it is good to see father and son working together! Henry, what makes your dad's jokes so good is that they are so bad!
Good evening, I enjoy Henry and his father Pete working together on the tractor. I enjoy when my boys work with me Steve from nB
Pete: ".....Heard any good jokes, Henry?" H: "Not from you." Hilarious! What a truly wonderful blessing having a son (at home, too!) is. Tho at times they keep us 'umble....
Tractors need to be used to stay in good health! Never has a truer statement been made. Thanks Pete!
Its really nice watching you teach Henry.
Nice to see a parent that teaches his or her kids different things.
Hi Pete thanks for updating us with the tractor, yes thanks too Henny for helping you , good too teach him about tractor fixing up , we keep watching any thing you put up Pete ,it's your farm and what you do on it and put on the clip is up too you mate
Great day with your son! He is growing up and time together now is so important. He is funny when you talk about jokes. Eyes roll. When you see this tractor next to the restored models, Aw come on Pete, next winter you need a project. When are you going to start the new pig area? You give us all excitement when you talk of improvement and it will be easier for you to handle with all the activity. No matter what you do, I will be there cheering you on. Enjoy your channel!
I love the look on Henrys face when the A fires up the first time
Funny how the older ⚙ works for a lot longer than modern technology does..very nice to see the old beauty getting love;))
At the start of this video I wanted to make some jokey comment, but this was just too "feel good" to tamper with. Magic moment when she fires up! To Henry, Great job! None of us are born with knowledge and every mountain is overcome one step at a time. Dang. Too much to say on this one. I've had to edit. Great stuff.
Sir, that was so nice of you to say. I agree 100 % . I hope they rebuild their old truck for Henry to drive when it's time. Pete is the Jake of all trades. Heartbeat of America. NEAL APOLLO BEACH FLORIDA
It's such a joy seeing a Dad and his Son getting their hands dirty while wrenching on a machine.

There are 100 million sons out there that never get the experience Henry is getting, gold!
It's good that Henry has an interest in Mechanics.... I started at his age at a Gulf Gas Station behind our house. The owner, Joe Maider had a Wrecker, he raced Stock Cars he could teach anyone anything they wanted to know. My dad didn't like me spending all my time down there... but there was 4 vehicles in our Family and I got to take care of them all in the 60's.... Later I went Automotive School in Rhode Island...! =)
When I was a kid, I recall helping my grandfather in his garage. One of the tasks I remember is using a special spark plug cleaner to freshen the plugs. You inserted the spark end into a rubber opening and stepped on a pedal that would be like a sandblaster to clean the plug.
Boy that is a lot of beautiful red tractors. Farmalls, what a sight!.
My father has been gone almost 15 years. I think back to the 1970s when he taught me to use a moldboard plow, or do maintenance on the equipment, sometimes some choice words putting mounted cultivators on. It was invaluable. He was a good teacher. Pete seems like a good teacher. No matter what Henry does in his life, he'll always remember working with and learning from dad.
Glad Henry is getting involved. It’s nice seeing young adults helping and learning.

Teaching the future to carry on this lifestyle is awesome! Hard work but it’s good for our souls as human beings.
Funny how I could smell the exhaust. Thank you Pete.
Love seeing the family. My husband dies not miss an episode of your show. God Bless❤
Usually the first thing that happens when I take the bottom cover off the bell housing of my 140 is I have to clean out mice nests, acorns ect. I'm convinced this is where the Holy Grail will one day be found. I love those off set Farmalls and grew up using a Cub and 140s. I can't get over how much Henry has grown. Have a great weekend Mr. Pete!
When Henry arm's went up I wonder was he thinking "its alive" ? 👍👍👍 first thing I typically yell when the old girls take off chugging
Thank you Henry for joining your dad in these videos, and for putting up with his jokes. Ha!
What a nice young man Henry is glad he is learning from Dad then off to research new jokes 😁
Never get tired of you calmly and meticulously tearing down and rebuilding you tractors. And a good dad joke, have a great weekend!!
I think one of the most appealing things about that old equipment is the fact that the average guy can still work on them. Thanks for the video, Pete.
A great little tractor. My first tractor, when I was 9 years old, I learned to drive and learn the standard transmission. We used this for raking hay, cultivating corn in the summer and my grandfather used it for his garden. We have a single bottom plow for this also. I am the same way about parting with this tractor, it doesn't get as much use anymore.
Hi Pete! Ken here from Nova Scotia. I’m kinda having a little chuckle to myself here. When I was Henry age I swore I would not ever like my dad. Dad jokes and just coming up with things to make my kids laugh. I’ll say something now and am like, oh my gosh, there it is. Guess really it’s not so bad. My dad lives in me the same as I live in what my boys say and do. Life’s circle. It’s great you and Henry are doing that project together.
The expression on Henry’s face when you were first starting the tractor was priceless he’s a good kid soon to be a first class young man
Great to see Henry working on the tractor with you Pete, seems like a really good young man. Keep them coming from 2 cylinder popping johnny.
Henry seems like a fine young man. A chip off the old block Pete! Good stuff!!
I loved it when Henry applauded after you got the tractor running!!! I agree, great memories here!!
"Have you heard any good jokes recently, Henry?" to which Henry replies "Not from you" 2:15 - priceless interaction! Thank you for that, Pete and Henry! That put a big smile on my face as it was perfect timing and facial expressions on both of you! Also great that you put in the new distributor and it starts more reliably. The machine is probably getting a better spark at startup and that helps. It seems that the magneto ignition is not as strong a spark for that initial startup... 👍
Make sure to take care of you, so you stay in good health. Thanks
you two are hilarious. Paddy’s disgruntled mooooo’s have perfect timing. zip zap zinger 😂
Spending time with family is what we get out of bed for Pete
Henry understands your humor.😄
Like to see you working with Henry and passing along the tradition like your dad did.... The birds I'm hearing in the video are English sparrows not swallows.
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Henry work on the tractor with you! Pete I love ur educational videos… makes me want to go buy a old tractor 😁
that Henry is a crack up...I'm sure we will all miss him .. Its just like when have 2 fast guns in a gang you eventually gotta see which ones quicker.
Good morning Pete and Henry. Watching your videos is like visiting friends. Wishing all of you a great weekend. ❤
Henery is really a good fit. So much of Dad and Mom there.

Glad to see Henry getting involved in the tractor repair. Not only spending time with your dad which is priceless but learning how to help your dad as he ages.
Treasure your time with your parents Henry. Just as your dad said, time flies by and then they're gone. Learn as much as you can while they are here. By learning what I could from my parents, I find myself not missing them as much. I miss being able to talk with them though I don't really miss them because I, in a sense, am them. I have even found myself telling dad jokes, lol
I don't know if you ever watched the movie FRANKENSTEIN with Gene Wilder, but when he brought FRANKENSTEIN to life he loudly exclaims "ITS ALIVE!" I couldn't help but laugh when it started. All I could think was "ITS ALIVE!" Henry and Pete, have a great evening. 😉😊
Nothing as sweet as watching a loving father as he teaches his son. The real high point was the look on Henry's face when that old girl fired up. Priceless.
lost knowledge for many, did much the same with old Massies and Fordsons.. great to see a youngster taking interst .. usually life gets in way ,but many return to their roots and dredge out that old knowlege.. old trucks , boat motors and tractors and heavy horse ..
That's the good stuff, making great memories with your son, you both are truly blessed..... great video
Hay Pete it’s good you teach Henry the mechanical skills that you have you can’t ask for a better teacher
Henry is awesome. We need to see more of him. Great memories for you both. God bless
Man , in 20 years ya'll are gonna be a well oiled machine. LOve you mean it.
Thank you for sharing this Father & Son time. So good, so valuable. Well done 👍🏻
You gotta make sure you get that pointer around... 🤣 I love that you're able to do these things with your children. I sure miss those days with my dad. Great video!
Some of my best memories are with my dad and grandpa learing how to fix anything awesome work!
Wish i had this time with my father soak all this time with yours Henry god bless
Would be neat to see a lineup of all that Red Power! Thank you for sharing! Your videos are always good !
I like that you have henry helping you and learning how to work with his hands.he will look back with fond memories of the time working with you.
Good to see that you and your kids are working and learning things with you it's a good way to learn commonsense
Winter is catching up on tractor and implement maintenance so you're ready for spring. Thanks Pete
Some of my favorite times as a young grasshopper . Was working on are International tractors with my dad. Another good video.
It warms my heart to see you and Henry working together 💗
looks like Henry is the next in line to tell jokes like his dad. Good one. Enjoyed the video as usual. Take care.
What a great video Pete, seeing you and Henry working together. Hi Henry! Thanks for the video, Pete!
Great video! Thanks Pete
Hi Pete, here’s some “Dad jokes” for Henry. What’s orange and sounds like a parrot? A carrot. I took up origami for a while but I had to give it up !!! Too much paperwork. Why did the invisible man turn down the job offer? He couldn’t see himself doing it. Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon ? The food was great but no atmosphere. I slept like a log last night I woke up in the fireplace. Two goldfish are in a tank one says to the other do you know how to drive this thing? 😂😂😂😂😂 I hope he likes them, keep up the great work look forward to seeing you next time.
Love seeing Henry apprenticing! It helps me learn.
Nice to see Henry taking working with you.
We just need the wife and the other kids to come join in on the fun of rebuilding one of the tractors!
Hi Pete, Kai just came (7:00pm Friday) He said you called him to tell him that you are happy he watches your videos. LOL Kai has great fabricative imagination. We are rewatching today’s video,
every single time I watch one of your videos you make me smile🙂
That was fun. I like the rapport between you and Henry. Knowing at my place it is -10° (-137°C haha) See you working without gloves made my fingers hurt. Our neighbor uses a Super A to saw and split wood. Just a thought.
Good morning Pete. Sounds like the birds are happy too. Enjoy a glorious weekend buddy. You’re living the good life, just like my family.
I appreciate this video, would love a dad who knew all this stuff, just looking at my grandfathers old super a, but whoever used it broke it many ways so now Im watching videos to learn how and what to fix
It’s great that you’re passing along all your great knowledge to your son!

That old tractor is way cool...what a cool tool
Really cool to watch young Henry learning from old ... um Experienced Dad. Nice juxtaposition of your dirty and worn coat compared to Henry's new, clean looking coat. It's like looking into Henry's future.
Good times doing things with our sons for sure .
It’s absolutely fantastic watching father teaching the son life skills. Love it. I so enjoy your family and your videos Thank you
Hi Pete and Henry good video. Nice to hear the English sparrows in the background. We had a nasty ice storm here a good 2.5 cm of ice frozen all over. Sounds like a good carb cleaning is in order I agree. Have a great day.
Henry sure has grown be surprised how much information he's soaking up
