I’m getting one to do some painting, I saw a kid paint a car in this and it turned out great , I’m just painting a few motorcycles so I think this will work just fine, thanks for the video
PTO over-running clutch should always be mounted on implement not tractor. As per Weasler web site, shaft is still dangerous if not covered via flywheel effect. Good luck 😊
From what I've gathered, though it does make it look better, keeping them tight puts pressure on the upper bends, and that's where they first wear holes. It's also recommended to use the noodle type pipe insulation on the upper bends/pressure points, and that they are covered with a new cheap tarp every year or so because the UV rays will cause the material to fail. But in the end, three years is longer than many of them last, however, some are getting ten years out of the cloth using those fairly simple tips. Thanks for the video.
The comments from you and others regarding snow removal tells me this does not shed snow properly. So a guy could not fill it items. He would need to leave an open path down the center so he could get inside and coax the snow off. Might be able to rig something long enough to pull the snow from outside but have to be careful not to puncture the fabric.
You can"t buy salvage parts at a reasonable price anymore. I bought a '51 8N for $800 in Feb. of '22 and had to replace entire valve train, starter, ring gear, clutch package,coil, points,condenser,radiator and water pump, not to mention a new battery and cables before I could tell what condition the engine was in. I got the tractor running a couple weeks ago and the engine starts right up and runs smooth BUT, it smokes and I'm sure it is going to require complete engine rebuild plus oilpump refurbish. After that, it needs new tires all around. I have around $1500 total in this thing now but I am keeping it for a working tractor.
Stick of pipe in the front door makes it easier to wall up and on mine first thing I did was cut off the velcros I made my own custom holders to keep the door up again put a pipe like electrical conduit makes rolling up 100 times easier
Thanks for sharing this. I was worried about longevity. They cost $250 now so that is a bit of cash to have rip up and be wasted in just one season. If mine will last at least three seasons in WI, I'll be happy.
... this is actually a well made and informative little video on vintage tractor maintenance; deserves thousands of views, but - there aren't that many of us left, I suppose, who still screw on these pieces of archeology... Thank you Kind regards Kim
Hey I'm doing a head on a to- 30 I'm not sure it the head is different but I have tried many times to recreate what u did here with the 3/8 I can't get anything on the nuts to torque them any help would be appreciated thanks
I live in the Foothills of the Catalina Mountains just North of Tucson and 3 years ago my "next door" neighbor, which actually about 2 and half miles away, bought one of these and put a simple 2x4 and plywood floor in it and lived in for over a year while they built their tiny cabin, worked fine for them. They turned it into a home bar/entertaining area after they moved into the cabin. It's been 3 year now and it's still doing fine.
I remember my dad, had a friend that had a boat, like that. And we went fishing all the time, in the summer. I loved that boat. I begged my dad to get a boat similar to the one you have. My dad was pretty tight with money, in those days, so no boat. I hope that it finds a good home. It has good bones, and a lot of potential, and in the end a person, would have a very desirable boat. I don't blame you for not taking on the project. And yes it would take a couple of years to restore it. But it sure would be fun. And imagine all the new skills that a person would learn. I have resurrected a couple of cars, and I sure learned a lot, and I still have them. And what a joy they are too me. That boat is a diamond in the rough. Good luck with what ever you decide to do with it.
I was messing around with another channel for a bit. Abandoned History. I have just picked up a couple of projects. Hopefully doing a couple videos next couple weeks. Thanks for comment. I really appreciate it
Ha ha, all that weight inside and I still blew off. My lazy but parked two tractors inside as soon as it went up. Then I rachet strapped the structure down to the tractors on either end.
I ended up taking my block to a machine shop where they hot tanked it and installed the sleeves. Freezing the sleeves did not work in my case and I broke two sleeves in the process. The sleeves are very brittle. I didn’t have a torch either. I would recommend a block of wood on top of that driver.
I found out when i installed mine one was so tight, the last one, the others were snug and right, broke the tight one and found out that the liner was larger in diameter than the others. I was shipped a bad liner or one that was not machined exact. I recommend that you measure both the inside of the cylinder after slight honing and also the thickness of the liner and the actual round diameter.
Thx for the upload!>>>i like your attitude "you know those guys"...naysayers like to gripe...God love 'em...=\/.....I just put one of these up thinking it would be temporary until i tear down 2 existing wooden sheds, gather materials and build One 10x20 shop...now..i am thinking i am going to use this, at least the frame, as my permanent shop structure... Why not... i see where some have used PVR metal cut to length from the factory to side them with...i have build tons of pole buildings and wooden structures, homes,stores banks, etc... it will work and save me a ton of money on materials...especially with lumber costing what is does right now. That would allow me to put in a window or 2, as well. A flip up awning, maybe to increase outside covered area. We live in Wash state on Puget Sound...wet as heck
