  • This series (2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 7000) from 65-75 was the pinnacle of Ford's agricultural line. There are tens of thousands of these old beasts still out there earning their keep on farms and ranches all over the place.
  • Your son is lucky to have a good father like you. Keep it up. Doing simple stuff together creates some of the longest lasting memories
  • We had four of those old Fords on our family farm, and one of the things that I remember is that they were so easy to service. Everything that you had to change, check or grease was accessible, not like some of todays machines where you have to dismantle half of the tractor just to change oil. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
  • That sure is a nice old tractor!!! Make those memories!!! Little man will never forget..
  • @williamcap2236
    Omg the little guy is cute ! He will always remember the things he is taught by dad ! That is me right there with my dad it is how he taught me my tools
  • I learned how to operate a tractor, shredder, post hole digger, box blade, front end loader and a round bale fork all on a 1973 Ford 3500 which was otherwise identical to this tractor. So this video brought back lots of good memories. Well done.

    I have memories like he's gonna have and they are some of the best. Good job brother.
  • You are the first, in a very long time, to show wiping the oil filter contact area for the new oil filter! Great work. It's in the details... You have many people watching every detail
  • @ww3ok
    I don’t know why but I love old tractors!

    I love the relationship between you and your son. You are a wonderful Daddy. I also enjoyed watching you take care of the old tractor. It was nostalgic for me. I don't remember the name of them, but Jay Leno uses nothing but a battery that never leaks.

    Rust neutralizer, primer then paint. The 3000 makes for a GREAT mowing tractor. Little man is learning TONS, HE IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE A FATHER LIKE YOU! God Bless you and your family.
  • Good to see a young father having a solid relationship with his son. I just encourage you to not take him or his location around you for granted. It really hurts the heart when we loose one to a farming accident. And it happens when we do not keep an eye on them as they try to stick with Dad and run after him without knowing. All the best to you and your family. Great video.

    It's great seeing those old tractors still in use. They have been great work horses.
  • @benslocum5502
    I love how your son is by your side, experiencing new things! Your patience level reminds me of how God is patient with us when we ask question after question. I'm glad he made us curious!
  • @joerogers4227
    I like the way you involve the youngster encourage him and not yelling at him. Leads him be brave in later life and do the same work.
  • @MrFHLH
    Take good care of the old lady, I spent many a happy hour on a 4000 and they are now collectors items and growing into money.
  • @brucewelty7684
    Hey MAN, a 25-minute video is NOT too long. We LIKE sharing your life.
  • That picture of you and your Son on the old Ford is priceless 👌. From the Swamp (Fl.)blessings.
  • @henrymorgan3982
    Buy a battery tender unless you are going to use the tractor once a week. They make solar types if you don’t have power in the shed. Good job! Aloha!
