From time to time, we like to create time-lapse videos of us doing what we do best. We currently only have a couple videos available through YouTube, but are working on several more, so keep an eye out for more!
In June of 2009, we took a load of tractors down to Waterloo, IA for the John Deere Two Cylinder Expo. One of the tractors, a 1938 "Low Radiator" G, was hauled down to the show in pieces and then assembled in front of the crowd. We took video of the progress each day. Each night, after the show ended, Lee worked into the wee hours of the morning compiling video and speeding it up so that the next day at the show, people could see what had been done before. After the show was over the final video was made and original music was added, thanks to our good friend Mike Hodnick (Kindohm).

For this 1939 Allis Chalmers B, we decided to make a video of the final painting and assembly stages of the restoration. We sped up the video and this is the result. The tractor is owned by Lee's dad's cousin, Mark Kluber. Mark's grandfather purchased the tractor new and Mark's dad, Arnie, (the eldest gentleman in the video) drove the tractor as a child. The tractor had been sold out of the family years ago but through an extensive search and some very good luck, Mark found the tractor again and was able to purchase it. Along with the Lee J. Sackett staff, Lee's Dad, Mark, and Arnie all helped with the reassembly process. We would also like to say thanks to our good friend, Mike Hodnick (Kindohm), for composing the music that was used for the video.
