Ralph is a great name and Mr.Finley,is adorable, don't worry about what projects you do,US real subscribers will keep watching, Love always Jim

@kenbeitzel9168 Год назад

An old country boy like me can definitely relate to the tractor rebuild. Very cool. Great job. Enjoy your videos very much

@sean7119 Год назад

The hydraulic filter gets clogged often. It’s a washable metal filter. 3 bolts remove the cover behind the rear left wheel. Slow or whinny hydraulic response is usually an effect that reminds me to clean mine. Good luck with it. You can’t kill that thing. It’s a tank.

@ralphfell2119 Год назад

Hi from Ralph in the UK. Just a suggestionpn fitting your rings., the ring with you put in the centre groove , may I suggest that is the compression ring and the shape of the ring is called a ridge dodger and is designed to miss any wear in the bore that has heavy wear in it, as anew full sizwd ring will hit the ridge and break mon contacting the ridge first time it comes up the bore. Allso if you slide the shell bearings in you minimise the risk of geeting dirt trapped between the rod as the new shell scrapes any dirt out as it rotates into place. I have replaced both main and big end shells in situ without removing the engine or crank Many a time when a crank looks bad, it is often the material from the white metal bearing and comes off the crank easily with parafine and wet and dry. Place a roofing fent nail in the oil hole of the main bearing journal and wind the shell out, replace the same way. Good content keep up the channel and lo0ok after the squirrels!!

@19815389 Год назад

New subscriber here.. I picked you up on sick week, thought it was awesome how you guys went around helping anybody that needed it.. enjoyed your engine tractor rebuild. Also have been surfing your boat videos . Really digging your content. Brought a tear to my eye when you showed the old 64 and told how the previous owner passed away. May he rest in peace and condolences to the family. Thanks again peace

@flyingsparksgarage Год назад

@moparman1962 Год назад

Loved this small John Deere tractor engine rebuild, very cool. I noticed you didn't take your right angle air sander with a 100-120 grit sanding disc to the flywheel surface in a swirl pattern to do a "backyard resurface" where the clutch disc engages it. Wouldn't that have helped the clutch hold a little better for awhile? I just know I've seen a lot of very inexpensive engine rebuilds of all kinds where the flywheel on a go-kart all the way up to a big piece of machinery wasn't surface turned on a lathe but they went ahead and put a good swirl scratch pattern on the clutch mating area to take a lot of the smooth/polish out of the steel for more clutch grip.

So Aaron has a custom piston table, and a custom parts washer?! Man no fair! ( Although it sounds like the parts washer can be finicky sometimes ;-) )

@gmscott9319 Год назад

Great job restoring an old John Deere and keeping it out of the junk heap. Also good thing you can keep one alive from the time when you don't need to pay a subscription for it to work!

@guygrotke8059 Год назад

Did you check the ring gap in the cylinders? I think that's a pretty important step before you put them on the pistons. If it's too tight, you can file the ends of the ring to get it right so they don't hit when they expand from the heat.

@andrewthecelt3794 Год назад

I wondered why no piston ring scrapers in the last episode? Was that a hacksaw blade to clear the ring lands? Just a touch with the pointy bits and you're getting oil blow by on the rings like holes in a colander.

I love how relatable your content is. Doing projects not having the tools and having to go to the parts store. Reusing parts you can't remove or source. Not like main stream channels that feel more commercial. I'm in the UK and have little interest in tractors but watching you both revive this had me hooked. Keep up the content 👍👍

@chriskelley1115 Год назад

I remember the beginning and it being called "in the shop with Emily". I started then and have loved every minute. Getting to meet you two in Champaign Illinois with my Daughters was amazing day and ill never forget it. I agree with Bob Cox below id watch yall rebuild a bicycle.

@lew4083 Год назад

It’s funny you say you grew up with a John Deere 950 because I did as well. My dad bought his new in 84 and I got it when he passed. Soooo many memories on that thing. Keep up the good work!

@OldSneelock Год назад

Great job on the assembly. I work single handed on almost everything. A trick I use to make assembly easier is using a couple pleces of threaded rod or bolts with the head cut off as guide pins. Makes it much easier to mount heavy flywheels and clutch plates.

@geneedmonds3702 Год назад

I have a Yanmar 2210BD which is physically a little bit larger, but uses the same engine and mechanicals as your 650. It is an amazing machine that works and works!

Best thing ive found for old hard gaskets on aluminum is a wood chisel, stays sharp and requires little effort shave the gasket off. If thick gasket is a replacement then tap it with a tiny ball peen hammer and the gasket usually flies off in chunks

I really enjoy this tractor rebuild I also watch Derrick work on tractors. Thanks for such interesting videos.

@dougpark1025 Год назад

It would probably be good to replace the hydraulic oil and filters at this point as well. I don't know if yours has it but there should be a cleanable pickup filter that you should clean as well. It looks like the hydraulics are working smoothly so you could probably get away with not replacing the oil. Also check the oil in the front axle. Looking forward to seeing that move some dirt.

@ClotEastwood Год назад

Clutch tool: Get a long bolt or threaded bar . . . Wrap tape on it for the crank bearing size then tape on for clutch plate size and use it to line up/assemble the clutch. Be careful with it as its only tape. . but wrapped tight it works fine. Fill all filters if possible. So much better than cranking and cranking. The rest is exactly what I would do (I'm not perfect . . just my 10cents worth) Sounds good, just remember she's got s/h crank and old pistons etc. . . so won't be sounding like a Rolls Royce . . I'd be soooooooo happy with that. You saved a fortune there

I love the tractor stuff and pretty much anything with a motor in it as well. What ever you two are working on, I'm in. I have quite a few older 60's and 70's garden tractors that I have rebuilt, and run around my acreage. The latest rescue is a 1973 Bradford PowerTrac with a 44 inch Bercomac snowblower on it and 16 HP Kohler cast-iron series. So whether it's boats, trucks, cars, skidoos...lol...tractors, I'll be watching. Cheers from Saskatchewan, Canada.

I think those old Fury's were great cars, I had a 1968 Fury 3 4 door. About 5 weeks after it (a demo car), I pulled it into my carport and fine tuned it, I then loaded up my wife and young brother in law and took them back to Colorado where I grew up. I also took them up to top of Pikes Peak. The trip was from almost sea level (Orlando, FL) to 16,410 feet above, with no problem on regular gas, a 318 single carb.

Oh, the familiar sound of that two-cyl Yanmar click-klacking away. Brings me back to humid summer mornings, trying to mow most of the yard before the heat got bad. Or the rain came. I grew up operating one of these as our main mower. Family bought it new in the 80's, and it still runs to this day with nothing besides seasonal maintenance and fluid/filter changes. Slow as hell but I'm sure it'll be around long after I'm gone. Thanks for bringing back memories of home, guys.

On the hydraulic pump on the bigger Yanmars they use a shear pin between the gear that drives the pump and the shaft. The idea of course is the pin shears off if the pump locks up. and then the pump is not turning even though the gear is going round and round. I recommend checking there first.

Be sure and check your thermostat, my little 650 had a spring fail and overcooled real bad, it’s easy enough to check with a laser thermometer on the thermostat housing, these little Japanese diesels normally run about 60°C. ✌️
