This is where I document and post videos of my different projects. If you like random tech projects, chickens, and lame humor, you should subscribe and follow along!
@@Supertramp01 My grandfather passed in October. I was doing that series mainly for him to be able to see and be a part of it since he couldn't travel. Filming is hard to do when working on a project and it just kind of wasn't the same trying to film it afterwards as you can probably imagine. I hope to have more tractor content but life has definitely gotten very busy.
Nice work! A good work at that. Suggestion: When you find something that works for you that could work for others, maybe consider publishing a link (?)
Hi, this is a direct replacement for the existing cluster you should just unplug that, plug this one in and it should work seamlessly. It uses gps to get the speed so we don't even connect to the speed sensor on the cart. Hope this helps!
Deestone D405 23X8.50-12 93A3 C Lawn & Garden Tire www.walmart.com/ip/323709963 The picture on the website is a bit different from the actual tire but they look good imo Also! I would not recommend these if all you're doing is road driving, we use it around the field so it doesn't vibrate like it does on pavement. Probably one of the only "off road" thinks out there right now 😂
From those of us that learned young the hard way, Always put the nut back on the steering wheel when tugging on it or you just may give yourself a third eye socket...
I purchased the o-rings and gaskets from Steiner Tractors. But I had to find the unloading valve Oring on EBay. The links are at the bottom of the description.
You are the first person I have seen take the hydraulics levers apart to isolate the arm with the worn pin. Was it hard to do that and was it hard to put back together? I don't like to beat on things and would prefer to remove the arm like you did and then press the pin out in my 20 ton press. It should be very easy with the press and the right size pin to press it out with. I just don't know how hard it is the R&R the arm with pin as you are the only one to do that. Thoughts or suggestions?? Thank you. You made if fun to watch!
It wasn't too difficult, I think the hardest part was not having a proper work surface to do everything on. Of course take lots of pictures (in my case videos) and having the manual for your tractor is one of the best things. Getting in there to remove the castle nut was a bit finnicky, but do-able. Best of luck and thank you!
I think the chicken part was funny! Sense of humor matches mine 😂 For the piston head o ring section, according to the Dan and Rachel Gingell video, you’re supposed to soak the leather ring in water (couple hours?) and then it’ll stretch over the piston. I think the order was leather ring then rubber ring, with the leather closest to the pocket end of the piston. I’m trying to diagnose my Ford 2000 4cyl hydraulics not working and your video encouraged me seeing that I’m not the only young (pronounced clueless) person trying to fix an old tractor! My neighbor has a good point though, these things HAD to be simple enough for a farmer to be able to fix it in the middle of a field with minimal tools and materials
That's a good thought and some of it might be, but a large majority of it actually is the liquid in the cast iron. Cast iron is quite porous and soaks up a ton of water especially down here in the humid south.
The next project you do; just don't treat it like you are doing dental work..Take the metal panel off.; take the panel and power wash the crap off and get them sand blasted...You are wasting your life farting around with all the miniscule problems.
@LandonsLaboratory how have these Fiat modules been working for you? Range and speed been good? I've been considering doing this same setup for my street legal Think so mostly concerned with range.
They work well for around the yard! I've been keeping an eye on them and assuming your have a proper BMS it should keep all the cells charged and balanced properly. No complaints thus far!
Any time I know I'm gonna be wrenching on my dad's AC D17, the day before I'm set to do it I PB Blaster every screw and bolt within 20 feet of the part I know I'll be focusing on. And I won't go anywhere near the arena of battle without my deep socket set, breaker bar, Milwaukee M18 high-torque impact wrench, and an empty swear jar.
Thank you for the feedback, while I try to keep it fun and leighthearted, I know my humor isn't always everyone's cup of tea. (Just ask my wife.) If you're needing hydraulics help with a 601 style Ford tractor, I'd ask that you give the rest of the video a chance, it should offer some more insight into the system.
I'm enjoying your videos. I only found your channel because I'm trying to buy a similar workmaster as yours. Your so in depth and on topic that I can't help but subscribe. Even if I don't get this 601 I'm looking forward to watching you work on your new tractor. I'm starting off like you, hardly any experience but a lot of enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing.
