  • A man in his 80s surrounded by his whole life in a world of his own making in peace and solitude.
  • @elijahbooe597
    This is my grandpa, Wayniee. The lessons he has taught me in those barns or on one of those tractors, I will forever be grateful for. One of the kindest and selfless individuals you will ever meet.

    A man of 63 today I so appreciate seeing and hearing the memories of this absolute gentleman. Thank you for letting us get a glimpse of a true American legend.
  • @johnashep109
    It's sad that when people like him are gone ,their knowledge is gone except for videos like this
  • I guarantee that an old farmer like this can predict the weather better than any government weather bureau.
  • Wow The history he knows should be recorded, and the stuff is worth a ton of gold
  • @barryjames9812
    No telling how many hundreds of thousands of dollars are sitting on this farm. One of the best videos on YouTube. I am 63 & came from a family that had a lot of the same history seen in this vast equipment shown here. I smiled & had a few tears run down my cheeks remembering the Good Ol’ Days of yesteryear! What a Video!! Thanks a million for posting

    This man is a true national treasure. I would love to spend just part of the day sitting on the back porch talking with him. Really enjoyed seeing his collection, thank you.
  • @ColeAviation
    WOW!!!! What a fantastic guy!!! Don’t find guy like him everyday that will let you come up and make videos of everything they have.
  • What a cool guy and he remembers everything about his stuff. Pretty interesting !
  • It will never be quite the same around there, when Mr Wayniee passes on. I'm glad to see his grandson here in the comments. I hope it's in the tea leaves for these wonderful memories to stay in the family. God bless the days when a man could work on his own machines and knew how to do it. God bless life before the internet in a lot of ways. God bless this Gentleman.

    If you buy a car for investment and never enjoy it it’s worthless, I you buy a car and create memories with friends and family it’s priceless. Glad to see these have been enjoyed.

    Miss my father. That's a beautiful thing about people like this man. When you grow up and get the hang out with people like that.
