Great video. Quick tip. Line up on your row, spin the implement, drop, drive, lift then turn and line up on your next row. Repeat. Keep up the interesting content.

Amazing, the variety of your channel, seemingly you'd tackle anything. Thanks for the learning moments. Mini-Tractor, mini-dozer, mini-bikes, it's a small world after all.

I just got to hand it to you Joe you're a real smart kid great videos I've been watching you for at least five years now keep up the good work I'm 54 years old and you impressed me

[Indignity]

Reminds me of the contraptions my grandpa had us using on his land in Plainfield. Awesome!

[chrisparola]

Nice find ! I think your going to want to look at gov spring tension to stop the over reving

[RAKINAUS]

Great find! My uncle worked for Briggs and scrap iron for 30+ years. Those engines were not designed to rev like that. they run at a moderate speed then when load is required they rev up using the governor. running them at high speed causes them to blow up, but you have no doubt found that out already. What a cool tractor, so simple, would be so much fun to restore.

I learn so much from your videos. Spark, fuel, compression are the three key words. But I think its your dedication to finish the job is what I like best.

[jesseclute]

My favorite time of the day!!! New video!!

[joerodrigues]

It’s amazing that you are a young man and you know a lot about what you’re doing good on you maté nice to see people like you a young man showing how it’s done thanks again.

[OSXMan]

Tilling is normally done at a very slow ground speed. Low gear is your friend.

[seansysig]

Joe lowest gear high throttle for tilling. Light soil engagement of 2-4 inches in hard soil. 3-4 passes over entire garden plot.

[gillgetter]

One of my great uncles had a Jim Dandy like that, he had a large garden. He also had a trout pound that you could pay to fish. He used it as a mower, tiller like that and also had a plow blade and chains for tires.

[robertcoons]

Very cool find. Great job getting it going. The old equipment was so simple to work on. No computer or electronics

[jeffroberts]

Very nice acquisition! That tractor was made to last a lifetime & then some. I remember helping my grandfather till his gardens with a walk behind. It would cut the earth maybe 4 to 6 inches deep. Probably closer to 4, I was a kid. I was interested in the worms & grubs that would be churned up so I could use them for fishing in the pond. Great memories!

I’d suggest making a shroud for the front pulleys & belt because if you are planning on running through weeds or brush they are likely to get caught. I noticed this almost happened with a small branch as you were test driving. 🚜

[deanhaggerstrom]

Very cool. I'm sold on the use of these small tractors for garden and home use. I have 2 small tractors. One is a 1965 Sears continental 10 and the other is a 1966 Sears continental 12. The 1965 has been heavily modified and raised. The 1966 is somewhat stock with the exception of a newer, smaller engine. I have a good number of attachments for both, but no tiller. That's an option I wouldn't mind having. This summer I'll be putting on hydraulics on the 1965 (changed the engine to a 18hp twin cylinder for more power). Future plans will be to build a bucket for this tractor.

[davidfist]

That thing is beyond cool! I think you should give it a full restoration.

[AnthonyRBlacker]

That thing is pretty awesome. My grandparents had a house on a farm and for the home area they kept a Simplicity mower. It had 3 point on the back and a PTO on the front for a plow or whatever. That thing was NOT a riding mower, it technically was a small home tractor. It was kind of like that, maybe a little smaller, but man that thing was SO cool. I learned to operate a tractor on that thing as a little kid. Same idea as a full sized big farm tractor just in a personal sized package. I was SO sad when they let that go. I really really wanted to keep it but I was still a kid and it was shot due to getting damp and it was old and beat up. Oh well.

[GH-wtww]

Joe you took "Go play in the sand" to a whole new level. Only quality back then which is why you can resuurect that mighty mite.

[beakittelscherz]

That's a hell of a Carb there... runs with a clogged needle line and a wasp in it!
Nice Machine! Fun to get Groceries with and just puttn around.. even without having Grass

[heyLeesComet]
