WELCOME to the CLAREMONT CLASSIC GARAGE from the hills of Uxbridge, Ontario. I've been a mechanic for 30 years and have a passion for old cars, tractors and junk. I have race cars, muscle cars, rusty daily drivers and all kinds of other stuff. I'm always doing something and thought , why am I keeping all this fun to myself? This is real world backyard mechanic stuff. So follow along because you never know what I'll be up to. Hope you'll subscribe and join me in all the fun I have !
Here's a good one! I have a 61 ford galaxy radio that has tubes. Now how do I know which wires are power and ground when they are right next to each other and are both black? And no they're not the speaker wires.
With the radio turned off, use an ohm meter. Check from each wire to the radio chassis. The ground wire will show a very low resistance. Or if your meter has a continuity feature select that and you will get a strong beep when you test between the correct wire and the radio frame. The other should give nothing(with the radio off) OR Take the cover off and see where they go. The ground wire will usually be soldered to something very ground looking inside the radio, like directly to the radio whereas the hot wire will be soldered to a bunch of electronic looking stuff.
Great find and she fired up just as we know these old machines will do. The tolerances in those days may have been huge but the basics were rugged and made for the farm job. Thank you for posting best from the UK.
This happens once in a while when the price of scrap is down. Instead of taking everything across the scales it gets sent to the auction or listed on marketplace. Happened about 5 years ago too, I bought a whole bunch of them back then too.
Another great video. I always keep my cell phone handy to take lots of pictures as I disassemble things as for the Teflon tape I never use it as most plumbing fittings will start leaking with age compared to pipe dope I've found over the years. All the old millwrights I worked with only used pipe dope and lots of it and never remember a fitting leaking later but you have to keep it back behind the first set of threads.
Excellent instructional video. Was just quoted 500.00 to rebuild the head or over 3000.00 recommended to replace everything because it was 15 years old.
Hello, my dodge caliber trunk is completely stuck, I have tried everything I know And I haven't been aviable to open it.... Is there something you recomend??
Your only choice is probably to cut your way thru the plastic interior panel. I don't think you can get it off with the door closed. Then manipulate the latch from the inside to get it open. Then you can get a new interior panel from the junkyard.
I did this to my 2018 ram eco diesel three years ago. It started doing the whole ghost screen thing again today. I'm going to see if I can get gorilla tape apart 😂 and fix it again. If it doesn't work, at least I got 3 more years out of it.
@ClaremontClassicGarage Yep, my 09 silverado has 250,000 miles on it, and nothing major has ever gone wrong with it. I wish I still had the 87 Ford my dad gave me to drive when I was 16. It was just an old farm truck that was geared low, but I loved driving it.
I have a 39 9N. I've had for about 15 years. It's not pretty and it isn't all original but it does run and move, . Bought it from a guy that pulled it out of the field threw some parts on it ,got it running and put it up for sale.
Don't think it was there that week but one guy frequently brings a White 1964 Parisienne Station Wagon to the Cruise In. Looks much like a standard run of the mill wagon until he starts it. Then, it sounds like a late 60's Mopar 440 Hemi.
Great video! I learned a lot, and I appreciate the info. I have a '53 to30 Ferguson, and it is just amazing how many old fords and Ferguson tractors are still out there working for 75 years now! Just amazing really, that is real quality. I have a 2005 kubota bx2350 that is in the shop for a total hydraulic transmission rebuild, and i doubt it or any other of todays tractors will be working for 70 years straight!
That's not quite exactly how it went. Ferguson and Henry had a handshake agreement regarding the use of the ferguson system on 9Ns and 2Ns from 1939 until Henry's death in 1947. That is when things went sideways wiith the new Ford regime. Ferguson won the dispute in court, Ford had to stop using the "ferguson system" badge even though the very first 1948 8N grills were drilled to accept it. Ford made some slight changes to draught control so it was legally "different" and they added position control. And the rest is history.
G day Kevin Many yrs ago dad had horses. As ayoung fellow, I remember dad saying "together" In 1974 we went to 1st tractor pull. Dad said strongest tractor wins. Then horse pull & changed my thinking about horse. They walk up & pull. Ths
I got into my steering box and clutch housing after watching your video. I ran into similar damages with over zealous mechanics but luckily you showed the correct way to remove the parts! And luckily I did because it was almost shot. I do have a question tho and it might be dumb but….im assuming the bell housing doesn’t need to vent? I have about 8 or 10 threaded holes on the lower half of the bell housing that I was just going to plug with a bolt and washer because they were jammed packed full of crud and I also removed about a litter box full of oily mouse turd crud from the bell housing. It seems like an easy way to stop stuff from getting back in there.
It was 1954 when AMC got started, when Nash-Kelvinator purchased Hudson Motor Car Company. The new company was to be named American Motors Corporation. I believe the name Ramble first appear on the Nash Rambler. The name Rambler was used up to the late 60s when the cars became known as AMC cars, with the Ambassador and the Rebel first being AMC branded. My dad had a few Ramblers in the 60s, with a couple of wagons and then later a 1966 Rambler Classic.
I thought the same thing when first changing my 550 oil. I thought my oil pan was all caved in. Glad to know it was probably made like that now (although mine does have visible dents 😅
Definitely. I noticed your 550 has what appears to be an oem remote hydraulic setup to the right side of the seat ? Mine also has that but doesn’t look like it’s ever been fitted with hydraulic lines. From what I’ve read these remotes are pretty rare meaning information on them is difficult to find. A video of an overview of the remotes and how the lines are ran would be appreciated !
Holy mackerel. That’s awesome! Sorry I just found your channel and subscribed today. I am definitely looking forward to watching that video. Thanks again!
@@sammyJno Hope it answers your questions. There is another option for that area that was simply hydraulic that would go to an aux hyd valve on a loader or something. One of my 550 Gasser videos deals with that one.
As much as I enjoy the "stuff" at the meet, but I also enjoy the drive time and seeing some of the country side. Having never been to Canada (as well as a lot of the US), I'm always interested in seeing what you allow us to see of the views outside of your truck's windshield and windows.
Hi Kevin thank you for taking the time to make this video, I’m 78 and still am not sure if I want to try to add the resin, It’s the regerating part I don’t understand, but your video is the best one out there. I’m 78 year old woman and I will have to watch this A few times. Thank you for your time and great effort .
something in the drivetrain not right with it. Front wheels were spinning like hell and rears were doing nothing. I guess it has all separate motors. Nothing connecting them together.
The Cub Demonstrator was 1950 and they also had demonstrators for the A and C tractors as well. And the tractor at 15:30 wasn't a Cub, but an A. Similar to a Cub, but bigger and more hp. In the Farmall line, the Cub was the smallest, but came out in 1947. Up to then, the A was the smallest being built from 1939 to early '50s when it was replaced by the Super A. Also in 1939, Farmall came out with the B, basically a narrow front A, and they were made until 1947. In 1948, Farmall brought the C, which was bigger than the A, but not as big as the H.
@@ClaremontClassicGarage I had two Cubs, a 1947 and a 1950, as well as a 1940 H, a 1944 B and a 1949 C. Of those I like the H and the C. I wish I would have at least kept the H.
Thanks to your video I just changed my resin on my Series 60. I have been meaning to do it for a couple years now. I bought it used maybe 12 years ago. It was probably 3-4 years old then. Last couple years 1 tank was soft and other tank was not soft. I have been putting it off and off. A couple weeks ago I ordered my resin on the jungle site. It was way cheaper to buy two 1.0 cu.ft bags than the 1.4 cu. ft kit that sellers are selling. It really was easy and I should have done it a log time ago but now it's done. I'm on the regen as I write this. Thanks again!
Have you ever replaced the seals on rear axles on this 550? Mine are leaking badly and it appears to be more than I want to tackle. Just keep adding fluid.
