Feeding After Dark with the John Deere A
I was a little later getting to the feeding tonight, but it gave me a good opportunity to use my newly installed LED lights. They are a lot brighter than the originals, yet still fit in the same housings (and look “original”). Also, the snow is getting deeper. It’s been pretty cold lately, so the…

1947 John Deere A Engine Rebuild
I recently rebuilt the engine on the 1947 A. I changed out the head and block, plus put new high-compression pistons in it. This video shows a few photos, plus the first few drives with the newly rebuilt engine. The newer high-compression pistons sure make a big difference! Special thanks to Jerry’s Machine & Engine…

Feeding Cattle with the Model A
Last year, I used the 630 to feed with. However, I thought it would be fun to try the A as well. I think the A is one of my favorite two-cylinder models. In this video I’m feeding beef cattle (Herefords and Angus) with the A and a custom-made feeder. The feeder used to be…

Farmall Super M
Recently, I had the opportunity to purchase a 1953 International Harvester Farmall Super M. The tractor was in a non-running condition. It had a stuck (seized) engine, and was missing a few other components. Although I am mostly a Deere person (meaning, I prefer to purchase and use John Deere equipment), I have a respect…

Peregrine falcon Nearly Takes Out Drone
I was flying my drone (DJI Mavic Air) up a canyon to get some nice shots of the beautiful mountains. While I was reviewing the footage, I was surprised to see a Peregrine falcon had decided at the last moment to not try to have the drone for lunch. I’d say they both got pretty…

630 Driving Through Water
The past few days have been very warm and have received what seems like non-stopped rain. That is very unusual for this area. It has basically turned most of the fields into standing water puddles. In this video, I am taking the cattle out a bale of hay. Where I fed the cattle was a…

Support me on Patreon
Balancing a day job, running a farm, and restoring/using old tractors and equipment takes a lot of resources! Unfortunately, the process to create the videos of these old classic tractors does take some cold hard cash. If you’d like, feel free to support me on Patreon. I’ll still continue to create them without it–but a…

Driving the JD 630 through snow while feeding
This video is a compilation of different days feeding cattle and driving through the snow. The 630 makes a good feeding tractor, and with the extra weight of the bale feeder on the back end, it handles the snow nicely. That being said, this year we are nowhere near normal snow levels–had we received the…
