Nice to see something come apart well without Kroil soaking, Torch Heat & bad words. Thanks for editing well and compiling a day into 15 minutes of morning coffee ☕️ educating video enjoyment 🇺🇸🤠
Squatch, Thanks for doing such a good job. Your explanations are great - you use correct and understandable terms and words describing parts and procedures are greatly appreciated. Your use of flattened cardboard to cover your work area and to protect your shop set a great exam please for all of us.
My vacuum sounds the same. Hehe. I would say that thru all your years of fixing things, you have found better ways to repair stuff. Like the gaskets and wiring and other things. Neat how we learn things. Have a great day.
The grandfather I am named after passed before I was born, my mother's father was my only grandfather, a great grandfather, a great man, but the most farmer of the sort, all his tools were the cheapest and worst, like his repairs, but few worked harder! Everyone needs a random cheap bolt story from grandpa!
Well, it's really nice to finally catch the very begining of a Squatch253 project as a recently subscribed fan. So what it ain't a Cat Toby's rebuilding. It's mechanical and needs so tendar loving care. That's all I care about. Especially knowing it's gonna be fascinating watching him find and fix whatever the problem is the reassemble everything to perfectly working condition. In the process getting rid of some things no longer needed and explaining to us why.
Great video Squatch. It's nice to see the H getting some well deserved love. And like the rest of your machines it will be better than new when you're done. Cheers
I'm looking forward to the preparation H project! You won't know how to act without all the fabricating, machining and engineering that was involved with X231!
I just found your channel yesterday. Tonight I have searched for and found the first episode for the Preparation H tractor. Watching them all great videos
Toby, you need to keep the carriage bolt in for the shift lever just for Grandpa. Just put a lock nut on the other side. It's your tractor to do whatever you want, it's just a suggestion.
I see another painting episode down the road despite what you said last time! Anyway, when you take these machines apart like this the amount of space they take up must at least triple.
Thanks Toby! Nice to see the H coming apart for the project your looking to do. Hopefully I’m getting mine out this weekend to drive a little. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Good start on a worthwhile project. I am sure the removal of the gear whine will help avoid deafness down the road.. And she will look very spiffy when done
Good timing for a new project, Just plowed my way through the last of the early X231 episodes, so I`m pretty much all up to date on the yellow machines in the fleet.
I made a belly pump coupler shaft for my uncle one time. A friend of his needed one. So my uncle gave me his for a patern to make one. Done a lot of projects like that for him when I worked in a machine shop.
Sure nice to see simple quality engineering at it's best I would just love to think engineer's designer's ect. Would learn from past mistakes quality designs 👍
That light bar! Ours was just like that, when I mounted my "new" toolbox last year, I found that our H's light bar had been backwards for decades, and none of us ever knew it! 80+ years of farming, going to shows, and being around machinery, and not once did any of us ever notice that our light bar was backwards. As of now, the stickers my grandfather put on are behind the toolbox, and the box itself is full of IH tools (and various other things) that he collected. I wonder how many other light bars are on backwards, I'm going to start checking them now.
@@gusthefarmer5608 🤔 might need to put on a history detective hat , to be so common wonder if there was obviously a not so obviously reason it’s so prevalent 🤷♂️ ✌️
well one H has a custon tool box mounted in front of the light bar, and with the light bar flipped around they used the nuts on the u bolts that hold the light bar on to hold the custom tool box on.
Looks like a very fun and mostly straight forward project. Fun fact where on the Farmall H,M and MD mounts the belt bully drive, on a Belarus 500 the hydraulic reservoir and pump with the corresponding drive gear are mounted.
I know the frustration that comes from dealing with a one of a kind machine that doesn't have replacement parts available. The H will be a break from the stress of figuring out how to make your own parts. I know you mentioned that you didn't have it figured out how to do the repair on the flywheel insert for the live PTO system. I have an idea that I would like to share with you. Basically it would involve making sure that the flywheel is true so that the new insert can be sized for a press fit. The Dutchman style of connecting the insert to the flywheel is a good idea but it is obvious that it was never a press fit and that allowed movement between the flywheel and the insert. If you size the insert for about a. 003 to. 005 press fit and use the same arrangement for locking it in place, you will have a stable setup that doesn't put excessive stress on the flywheel. If you think this might work try it. I'm guessing that the flywheel is probably cast iron so I wouldn't want to expose it to thermal shock or an excessively tight press fit. I hope this helps.
Ya know, were it ME I would leave grandpa's carriage bolt in place, maybe I'd drill it and put a cotter pin in it. Just as a memory! But it's yours to do with what you wish. Carry on.
Eggcellent Batman! 🤗 btw you got a new viewer and she’s happy to be starting at the first episode 👍 Not going into details but the missus now watches the squatch253 channel 🤦♂️ 😳 I feel she managed to get a membership to an a men only club ! Hahaha .. naw it’s all good 😝😎 … ✌️ 🤙
noticed a familiar sound when you switched off your shop vac. brass bushing on top of motor can be replaced sealed ball bearing , there is even a youtub on it maybe in your spare time lol
I’m still planning to take my Farmall 460 chassis and putting letter series tin, gas tank, steering, steering tree, light bar and the front wishbone. It probably will be from a M and the hood will have to be extended. I was looking at the mounting bolts on your tractor’s transmission cover and wonder if they’re the same as the 460’s. It will be a Super 6 TA.
I stripped a diff late last week. It’s my first work in anger in a car I’m rebuild. Because of you, I’m chasing threads, cutting my own gaskets and scrubbing parts with diesel and a toothbrush. I’m not sure how I feel about this.
@@squatch253 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks tho: I’m good with it. The did was seized, but the failure is in the pinion shaft bearing. Struggling to pull the bearing from the aluminium body. (I want to avoid introducing heat if possible.) There’s also a shim on one of the Sun gears is gone, but that’s a cheap part. So yeah, thanks for the teaching moments!
Thing’s sure were simpler back then! Only 15 minutes to get it torn down to the transmission! Nowadays they struggle to put a headlight in a vehicle in that time! Lol 😂
Thanks for the video! At around the 9min mark you were pointing out the oil leaks near the seal. To me it looks like the casting is cracked near the seal. Unless it’s just a weird oil marking? Just my .02. Looking forward for the next!
Preparation H 😂😂 Thanks for the video and laugh Leave the carriage bolt You may have already said How did you come across the two prototype tractors If you have what video is it in
Story of Granddad and the carriage bolt is too cool!!! You should leave the carriage bolt if nothing else to carry the story!!! We have enough cancelation in our world today. Go history!!!
When my dad died I found all kinds of “ broken” wrenches and wrenches welded on wrenches and wrenches bent to shapes of other wrenches….and I’m sure every one had a purpose
Squatch, you have got to make sure the broken wrench makes it back in the tool box, post restoration. Way to much sentimental value not to. RIP grandpa, I’m sure he had a smile on his face when you got down to the wrench.
Tony - certainly enjoy your videos. I have a trivia question that I can’t get an answer to. When I was growing up watching my uncle put the cultivating attachments on his Super M I saw that all the cultivating attachments were painted blue rather than the Farmall Red. I have seen other various IH accessories or replacement parts painted the same blue on other videos so I know this was a fairly common practice. Do you have any idea of why same Farmall parts and accessories were painted blue? One personal question - do you have any siblings that do the same type of exacting work you do?
Substandard gasket material? Was it cereal box cardboard? I still did a couple of gaskets this week with the cardboard a chainsaw bar came wrapped in, but they only have to seal grease so I don't expect any major leaks.
The tall narrow oil filter says late model. It's rare to find a good distillate manifold. Most guys including me upgraded to the gasoline head. I'm enjoying this more than I expected. 3 inches of snow this morning insuring LeSueur will be about right.
An odd question not necessarily related to the H. You and Senior have quite a few gas engines that go a while between uses, how are you treating this ethanol gas to aleviate issues?
Love ❤ the series title, lol.😂. But maybe it would be more apt for X231? After all, it's been the real PITA!My Super A also has quite the whine to it. Will your work on the H serve as an example for my SA? How similar or different are the two transmissions?
Those tools that don’t have a lifetime warranty I keep them if they brake just for special purpose jobs. Even a gear shift from an auto on the tree is now a brake soppy before I found one narrow enough for the old Toyotas or Datsuns of long ago
Problematic tractors that seem to never want leave the shop has become such a norm for me, I sometimes don't know how to act when one stays fixed after making the one repair it came in for!
Tobie under the top plate of my 1949 Super A gearbox cover is two items I think it's called hangers, they keep the gear selector slides up, mine was warn through and then the gears hang up, I welded it up and works now, is that still available, I stay is South Africa, the tractor runs good but I am worried it will let me down again
