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.

that was a great time men bonding, would be fun to do a tugawar with the home made one l got a few months ago. they are pretty evenly matched,

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

Yup, there are a lot of these places that when the owner passes all the history is lost. Used to work for an auctioneer selling similar oddities when there was no heir or they just didn't care. My personal favourite was an old little moped with a sidecar an old blackthumb built for his grandkids when the older one was 6 years old if i remember correctly.

This reminds me of hanging with my 50 year old neighbor when I was a kid. I am his age now. He taught me so much about mechanics and even gave me my first car (after negotiating a price and making me save for it. RIP to all the old dudes that showed the young kids what's good! Now as a third career I teach film photography to high school kids, so I hopefully I am that old dude now👍👍

Yea, if I could come sit with Danny for a few days and just listen to his stories over beers, that would be great. Makes me miss my grandfather more than I already did. Great story, great piece of equipment, the stuff these “old timers” built and did are inspiring.

I wish I could give this one a 100 thumbs up. Seeing the smile on Denny's face when it started up was awesome.

You need to record more of what Denny has to say; men like him are going away faster then their knowledge is being shared. He seems willing to pass on what he knows; which is more then anyone can get out of a book!!

My grandfather had one of those. I have no idea when he acquired it, but my memories go back to the 50's and he had it then. My brother owns it now and keeps it on his ranch in Idaho. It still runs after all these years. It has a Wisconsin 1-cylinder Engine.

Seeing Denny's face and watching him tool that suckered around just made my day. We got to get all the knowledge we can from these guys before it's lost to time. Great job Kevin. Thanks for making my day.

One of my favorite things is learning and talking to old timers like this man. The stories and the knowledge they can share is priceless.

ALWAYS LISTEN to the stories told by the older generation, those tales of the past are so wonderful. I've had some friends that passed away and the time I've spent enjoying their early years can't be heard again. ( early 1900, depression,etc)

There's something to be said for the machines of our fathers and grandfathers. Simplicity ,longevity and reliability was the order of the day . Outstanding article! I am seventy one now and I love the the early machines .

Man I could sit down with him and listen his stories all day. He seems like someone you could learn so much from

Denny is a national treasure from a time when men where men. I could listen to his stories and wisdom all day long. Looking forward to the next videos with Danny.

That was absolutely fantastic, the old timer chugging beers and wrenching on rusty gold. Brilliant!

Have to say Kevin, that was up there with the best of them, a great insight into how things were done back in the day. Well done mate.

Denny seems like a great guy to hang out with, I love listening to old stories of janky home made equipment and the tales people got into with em. That was some of my favorite stuff to talk to my grandad about.

You need to to more videos with Denny. He’s awesome on camera, and I’ll bet he’s got many more great stories.

This has to be the coolest little lawn tractor I’ve ever seen! My great grandfather also was a little tinkerer as well and came up with his own tractor as well from a Ford lawn tractor!

Danny went straight back to 1946 that was a great year, thankyou forgiving us Denny and yourself Kevin a great video. Love to all from Truro Cornwall England

To start with, I'm 55 years old. So I understand your view, but also his. This is going to be an awesome series! I love old stuff like this and the stories of how they came to be. Also, He probably won't say it, but you are making this man a happy old dude. IDK where, if any, his son and grandson are and why they aren't doing this with him, but it doesn't matter. You are, And he is loving it. He saved all this stuff in hopes of passing it on, not the equipment so much, but the stories and knowledge of and about them. Keep doing these, with other old guys too. This is soooo cool! Oh, and I love his sense of humor! Be safe!

That's absolutly amazing ! Running after so little work done to it...they definitely knew how to built stuff back in the day

What a treasure trove Denny is Kevin! Not only the potential for tons of awesome content, but the commentary from Denny just makes it pure gold. Can't wait to see more!

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.

this is one of the best videos on the internet... seeing that old timer "play" again was fantastic. don't ever stop using it, cause that's when you lose it!
