hi, as long as the whole trailer has to be repaired, it seems to me that a bit of paint would have been nicer before putting all the equipment back in place, don't you think?
I used scope and saw debris in cylinders. Also, I knew I would be rebuilding engine as part of this restoration. Yes, generally I like to get things moving and see what works before disassembly. Thanks for watching
When you did the wiring, and you tested to see what did what. How did you do that? Did you have the black wire on black then used the red end on your jump pack to test each wire?
Nice video! I own 4 Cub Cadets with standard transmissions from the narrow frame 124 to the wide frame 128. These tractors are Made In The USA and MADE to last at least 3 generations. They take a beating and keep asking for more unlike the ABSOLUTE JUNK being flooded in our country from communist china
As I was driving mine to load on a trailer after having sold it the mechanical fuel pump died. It looks darn near impossible due to its location to replace. Not knowing how to put it the free wheel mode and wanting to get it back in my yard I installed an electric fuel pump and was very pleased to be able to drive it back. At this point I think I will forget about replacing the mechanical fuel pump as the electric pump is much easier to replace and less expensive to purchase.
You are doing an excellent job on your trailer. With so many young people doing nothing but getting into trouble it is very refreshing to see a young man doing something positive and VERY worthwhile.
I know it's been 9 days since you done that wiring on that trailer. I'm just now watching the video on it myself today. I believe and think that could be your wires to the Hazzard flashing lights/ warning lights.
That's an awesome transformation from junk to show tractor. You definitely have a great family to teach you how to properly do things and help you when needed. Congratulations on winning grand championship in FFA. I enjoyed my time in FFA and you have something great to show for it to keep forever. I'm proud of your accomplishments and please keep humble and keep learning as much as possible in life.
What happened to the other Oliver 70 tractor that had the bad engine woth the cracked main bearing and bent push rods? If you made a second video I did not see it. You should watch Ross the Oliver man and Jonathan W's videos. I think you would enjoy them.
I believe you said that the trailer is a 2007. If I’m correct there’s an antilock brake actuator on the trailer that’s supposed to flash one of the marker lights when the connector is pulled out of the power supply. If you’re ever pulled over by the DOT, that’s supposed to be in working order. Otherwise you could be placed out of service
There is no ABS system on the trailer I have seen. I know bigger commercial trailers have the ABS system and light. Usually DOT does not mess with non commercial smaller trailers.
Nice job, but for the life of me, I have to wonder why so many YT'ers refurb something and never bother to actually clean the old bearings, just wipe the old gunk off and slap on some fresh grease. Why?
Andrew, when we used to have to replace the grommets on the clearance lights, if we were close to electrical source we would use a heat gun and heat the grommets up then slip the lights right in. It works like a dream. It sure does save on your hands doing it that way. The other is just like the man said lower the front put your Jack's jack stands in the back then lower the front end. Then Jack it back up with your tongue jack and your floor jack then put them in the front. You'll never have a problem with it sliding off. That's hell. We used to do it in the shops when we had to do brakes on a 53-ft trailers works like a dream
Hi great vid. Please becareful using that cut off grinder. Noticed you cut off mounts on that box. Holding box in one hand and operating grinder with other. You see how the grinder wheel jumped. Your hands and fingers are important do not lose them be smart be safe. It takes a second to slice off a finger. 20:34 d.
Great video so much background information whilst working. Your work ethic is great I think when you get a new project you are genuinely excited to crack on and get it done. Another project another success. Well done keep it up and take care.
This is not your typical millennial! 😄I found this channel after spotting a old Farm-all lawn-ornament and thinking "that would be fun to get running", so I searched RU-vid and found what looked like the exact tractor being restored. Great content!
Just a suggestion for the next time you have to jack up the whole trailer. Unhook it from the tractor / truck. let the trailer all the way down in the front. You can use your floor jack to let the tongue down so it's all most touching the ground. Set your jack stands under the rear of the trailer. Jack the tongue back up using the floor jack then the tongue jack, then set your front jack stands. Set the trailer down on the front stands. No more using the hi-lift jack and having the trailer slide off of the jack stands. Nice job on the trailer.
