This Old Farm
Приєднався 4 гру 2016
Welcome to This Old Farm! This channel, hosted and produced by Connor, is here to show what the small farm life is like in Minnesota, using antique equipment to keep everything running! We farm using International Harvester/Farmall tractors and various pieces of equipment ranging from many different brands old and new! What will be shown here you ask? Well, you will see how we farm using our old equipment, machinery repairs and maintenance during the winter months, and the occasional "Special Feature" videos from tractor shows and museums. I hope you enjoy what you see, and if you have any feedback please let me know! If you should need to contact me, you can use my UA-cam email at: thisoldfarm03@gmail.com.

Why not just use 5/16" brake line, the line doesn't care if its brake fluid or fuel. You keep talking about how you're "terrible" at making wiring, you don't get any better at it by buying premade stuff. There isn't much wiring on a tractor, build it yourself.
@@lukestrasser That is what I’ll be doing, likely be making a visit to Napa soon for some.
You are a hard worker! Keep it up! ♥️
If your Fleet Farm is like ours here,they don't have much of anything anymore.
@@ronzezulka6646 yeah they really suck. Time to take the farm out of the name
@ThisOldFarm Yup,,yours is like ours. Lots of stuff for pets,sports and canning.
How are the crops looking?
@@ronzezulka6646 crops look great
@ThisOldFarm Good to hear. Looking forward to harvest.
@@ronzezulka6646 me too! Except for the fact it means winter
@ThisOldFarm True,,but a little bit slower pace.
Hey Connor,,good to see ya. Always nice to see my favorite tractor!! Keep after it,you'll get there.
Thanks for the video Connor! Sad to say I won’t make the show this year. Hope all goes well
You’re making progress, Connor. That’s all you can ask for some days. enjoy the show, that’s on my list to attend.
Hope to see ya at the pioneer power ? I will be bringing a few things up to show
It’s looking good, Connor. :) One foot ahead of the other a step at a time and you’ll get there! I’d help you with the wiring if I was there but I suspect there is closer help to be find that can do a better job at it than me. :)
Conner, watching your video from the Kentucky state fair, sure wish you were here with me enjoying the day. Looking at this new farm equipment, it’s amazing, but I’ll definitely stick to the old school equipment lol 😂. Thanks for sharing another nice video 👍🏻. Take care Conner, from Louisville Kentucky.
The difference in the pumps is that the diesel engine spins backwards compared to the gas. I’m not sure which is which, but I believe the diesel spins clockwise and gas is counter clockwise, or vice versa. So tachs are all diesel/gas specific too.
@@cjfarms2239 Yes I do know of that, diesel is counter clockwise and gas is clockwise. I noticed though that the suction hose is plumbed in on the opposite port to that of the setup on the gas ones. So it leaves me suspicious.
@@ThisOldFarm yes they are switched, the pump pumps the oil same way, the ports are just flip flopped to accommodate the opposite rotation.
Hope you didn't have any issues with the posts on the battery contacting the cover. Had that happen years ago, getting a repro box for my 400. Well, initially the posts just cleared, but they didn't with the cables on. Found a nice used takeoff & sent the new one back to OEM.
@@ikonseesmrno7300 hm, I haven’t been able to try yet. I might have to do some measuring. I’m confident it’ll be fine but one never knows. I know Squatch got a repro for his SM and they seem to have no trouble
@@ThisOldFarm Good to hear! Ordering from OEM, years ago, was a craps shoot at times. Have a good one!
Moanin' Connor!👋
Thanks for the video. Keep at it. Take care.
Great job with that hay, Connor!
Conner, I’ve never had the opportunity to operate a roll bailer, but watching you is definitely the next best thing 👍🏻. Tara and I have spent the last several days at are second home in Gatlinburg Tennessee, cell service is not always good, got to watch your video this morning, and I sure enjoyed watching. Conner, summer sure is going fast, and the older u get the faster it goes believe me I know lol 😂. Good to hear from you. God bless you, from Kentucky 😊.
Hey Connor,,,good to see ya!! Hay progress looking good. Where's the SMTAD in the mix?
Looks great. I use my great grandfather’s 51’ cub with a sickle to cut my field and my Mta and New Holland 55 rake. I load it loose by hand onto my dump trailer and store it loose in our barn.
Man.... you really need to cut back on the soda! You're driving all over the place!!😂😂
Perfect timing! Just came in for a coffee break. Video's a bit long.... Will have to have more coffee. ☕😁
What’s wrong with the Bobcat?
@@tonyx3768 Won’t start. Just cranks.
@@ThisOldFarm I make a living on those things. If you get stuck, I might have some help.
@@tonyx3768 Thanks Tony! My dad has done some research, guess there was something about putting a clear return line on and that would give you a sign of failed injector. I’m not sure what all he’s trying to do, I tend to let him run on his own with his hair brain ideas
Conner, wouldn’t it be nice to never have a break down on equipment, doesn’t matter how good of care u take of equipment it will definitely break down. Conner hope u get that door fixed on your bailer. Good to hear from you,enjoyed the video. God bless u Conner, from Kentucky.
Thanks for the video always something to work on with equipment could be bypassing cylinder on the baler cap one side and work it then other one caps or plugs are cheap
Is the the MD by the 806?
@@ronzezulka6646 yes it is. I’d like to complete it this winter if I can. But I will need to come up with a good workspace for it. The garage with the cement floor in it we were using to work on tractors in has been taken over by junk.
We're you sporting a t-shirt from just a few acres?
@@ronzezulka6646 Yes I was. Beginning of the video I had one of my shirts on, and end of the video was a just a few acres shirt.
@@ThisOldFarm I gotta get one of yours.
@@ronzezulka6646 Eventually I will go through and get a bunch to distribute. As of right now only two “This Old Farm” shirts exist and they’re the two I have.
Hey Connor,,good to see ya. Stay after it. You'll figure it out. Pretty cool to see you and your Dad working together for a common goal. Have you been to Toby's to see the new building?
@@ronzezulka6646 I have not been up north since I moved my equipment from Rick’s.
Could be the Seals in the cylinders. Leaking internally, flow control valve?
Nice camera work in this video! Stay safe!
Conner, those Vermeer bailiers are definitely great bailers 👍🏻several farmers around were I live use them, and a Vermeer dealership close by. Conner, you and your dad are having a good hay season looks like. Conner always great to hear from you, really enjoyed the video. Take care, and God bless you, from Kentucky 😊.
Thanks for the update
Nice video hay and corn look good hydraulic maybe bypassing or weak seals in cylinders thanks Connor and dad
Nice smooth running Vermeer baler a lifelong friend had one it was a 504I. I thought it did pretty nice job nice round bales. He ran it with 574 IH
I spent lots of summers either running a 24T or loading racks behind a 24T. Yours makes a really nice dense bale from the looks of it! Yeah no live power isn't ideal but baled a lot with either a 1947 John Deere B and a mid 40's Minneapolis Moline RTU. I also recall baling oat straw for a neighbor with an older 14T, running it with his IH 656 gas with a TA, I can't belive how many bales I jammed out that day dropping them on the ground.
Conner, that rake was doing a good job raking 👍🏻, and the hay looked good too. Back in the day I looked at the back of a John deer bailer many days now at 70 my hay days are far and few lol 😂. Great video, and really nice camera work. Thanks Conner, God bless you. From Kentucky 😊.
I have not seen anyone bucking bails in a generation. Very common 50 years ago.
@@johncrisman576 Yup, we’re still pretty old school in that sense! Not thrower, no bale basket, just good hand stacking!
Seems awful wet in there yet
@@lukestrasser Only a small lower area, which we needed up leaving behind when baling as we were making a bigger mess with ruts than anything else.
Hey Connor,,,looks like everything is working pretty good. Finally dry enough to get some haying done. The MD you mentioned is yer dad's isn't it? Remember seeing a video you did awhile back on a visit to the home place. The cows were out on that one,,lol.
@@ronzezulka6646 Yes it is my dads. It had blown the head gasket and was pushing coolant. I was having trouble locating a machine shop that would work on it could work on the cylinder head as it did have a tiny crack in it. I haven’t started the process back up after returning because it’s sitting outside and I don’t have anywhere to put it inside. Plus I still need to retrieve my engine hoist from the former location.
@@ThisOldFarm, Smokey's machine shop. Fergus Falls Mn.
The M seems to be running well! Looked like you were raking a mud hole in the beginning there.
@@IndergaardAcres The M is doing awesome! My issues with the carburetor have seemed to all worked themselves out. I’m just bummed it leaks oil like a sieve. Yes, there was a mud spot in the field, baling it we ended up having to ditch the hay as we were making a bigger mess with ruts than anything else.
Thanks Connor for the video looks like work
Thanks for the video Connor! Nice seeing the old iron working!
Dang right!
I like baling hay myself 😊
@@phillipmaxfield7516 That’s also just as good!
I really hope that is what the problem is , good IH haybine there but they don't like holes or mounds of dirt do they , or any cutter bar really we had a old one that went on 3 point and i use to hate mowing with that , the belts would slip if the conditions were not right and we have brash ground full of stones it would break knives for fun , we eventually got a drum mower such a difference , but love that one you have and on land like you have they do a great job , Never seen many like yours here in England UK perhaps they were not sold much here back then , we had a Farmall M too used it on the baler which was a IH 430 , any IH tractors or machinery were I think always quality stuff , made well and built to last
@@jamesmarsh4957 The field it failed in is full of gopher mounds, which I’m assuming is what took it out even with how hard i tried to be cautious and raise it over the mounds. My dad has a disc mower, and that’s what finished cutting the field.
Great video of the RPRU before the power went out. Sorry to hear that the banquet canceled. Still, you got some great footage. Was the bad weather and rain on the final day of the show? Neat to see the silver Farmall for the 100 thousand tractor. Thank you for sharing. 🚜 👍
@@tractorhyatt7044 No, the bad weather affected Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday was to be the final day but they canceled that and cut Saturday short.
I like that cutter. So much more going on than what used to be done here in Norway. Here it was basically just a bar with finger knives like where you had the issue and that’s it until we got the forage harvesters and then disc cutters for round baling later on. I can tell you this, yours do one heck of a lot better job than anything we had when I was little. :) I hope you restore this one.
@@pederb82 We also had the sickle bar mowers here in the states, that’s what came before the haybine. In fact I have one and dad has one, both IH’s. Neither work, I tried and failed to make one good one out of two.
@@ThisOldFarm I actually think we still have the factory option for the Ferguson we had at the farm. :) It was mid mounted on the tractor and flipped up for transport. I can not recall it was ever used in my lifetime tho. And these days none of our working ferguson tractors are at the farm. No idea how it was done on the Buster 320. :)
Good to see you and all that old equipment working
Very good camera work with all the different angles and views. How far are the hayfields from the farm? It looks like you had to take your tractor on the road for a bit. Thanks for the video, hope you had a good 4th of July and the rains held off a bit so you could enjoy some fireworks. 🚜 👍
@@tractorhyatt7044 each one varies. This is one of our closer fields. Maybe a 15-20 minute drive on the tractor
I can barely remember mowing hay with a N.H. Haybine.. Our variety of Hay does not neeed to be conditioned,, so we now just run Disc mowers.........
Need to find yourself a wide front so you're not smashing the freshly cut hay into the ground with the front wheels. I'll keep an eye out for ya!
@@lukestrasser The goal would ideally be to get the 400 gas fixed up to then use that with the haybine. Being that has the wide front and has independent PTO. The M with the narrow front is good for hay raking once I better learn how to set up my rake.
You get the oil leak fixed on Marty yet?
@@lukestrasser no. Just keep it topped up, self changing oil!
