How to Rebuild a Farmall Engine: Step-By-Step Instructions for an H, M, 300, 350, 400, 450 and More 

Rachel reminds me of my Daughter! She was my best buddy growing up, unafraid to help me build a house, work on my tractors, trucks, and cars. She has all her own tools and uses them!!!

Dad and mother should be proud looks like they did an excellent job raising this young lady

I dont live on a farm, or anywhere near a farm, nor do i need a tractor... but this video gives me great PRIDE and JOY to watch this nice woman repair this machine! Keep up the good work! Thank you,

It is so refreshing to see a young lady who knows what she is doing on engines. You are quite an inspiration.

Just received my rebuild kit. Now I'm going on ebay and find a tractor.

What an excellent tuition from a lovely lady, it’s just lovely seeing as noticed by other you tubers that she hasn’t multiple tattoos, piercings, multicoloured hair, abnormal muscles, pumped lips, and abnormal eyebrows. Well done and good luck. Keep up natural.

RU-vidrs take note, THIS is how you make instructional mechanical content. Incredible explanations and details, yet nothing unnecessary or annoying. Everything is right to the point like it should be.

I've never seen such a comprehensive mechanical step by step video in my life. I feel like I don't have any questions. Very well done.

I don't own a tractor but I really enjoyed the video anyway.

Man.. I grew on a farm and I am impressed with this woman. I have 6 sisters and none of them could do this.. They all became teachers which I guess is pretty impressive in itself... We all need to get some real skills like in this video for our own good.

Nice to see you stayed with it over the years....you make this old guy's heart smile.

Wasn't it great when engines were made to be worked on?!

Will I ever rebuild a tractor engine? No. Will I watch this whole video anyway? Hell yes.

Rachel is very articulate. Definitely an outstanding video. Thank you for a job well done.

I don't need to nit pick to show my knowledge and feel better about my shelf, I have done this on engines before so you did great and keep up the good work your doing!

i don't have a farmall tractor and never will, but i'm subscribing because it's just great to see a capable woman for once. she's not dolled up and wearing Daisy Dukes, just getting in there and getting the job done. with all the horrible things going on, this is the brightest point in my week so far

Another beautifully produced video featuring the lovely Rachel showing us all how it's done. She is too good to be true. I must be dreaming again!

young lady you are A better mechanic then the ones i know good job keep it up

brings back memories when i was a kid watching and helping my dad over haul engines in tractors, cars trucks . you are doing a super job. keep up the great work young lady

The best rebuild video I have seen . Winner Winner ! chicken dinner ! And I know what I am talking about . 👍👍😊

Thats's America right there, Pretty smart well trained oily young women showing us how its done. Classic American Tractor, First class instruction on how to rebuild your Farmall. What a pleasure to watch. Thanks

This is one of the best instructionals I've seen on RU-vid.

First time I ever watched a Gal pull an engine apart. Great job. Glad to watch this.

Great video! Your videos continue to get better every time, and they give me the confidence to work on my own tractor. Thank you!

Rachel has officially become a "legend" with the making of this video.

Great job Rachel! Thank you for sharing!

These videos are SO well made! Everything is explained clearly. Not too fast, not too slow. Enough detail but not too much. Good practices with the right tools. Rachel Gingell is a world class teacher.

I used one of your dvds to rebuild the engine on my super c. Worked great.

I just love watching competent people do interesting work.

Respect. I'm thrilled with my self just cleaning the carb on my lawn mower and have it run after I put it back together.

Think I might just have to do this to my H! I love what you and your dad do Rachel!

Rebuilt my 1953 H , with this video's explanation.

It's easy to tell that you are a competent mechanic and truly enjoy your job. Generally a good video. We'll done. 👍

Lighting is much better compared to earlier videos, much appreciated!

Very useful tutorials for individuals who are interested to learn about tractors repair. Thank you Rachel.

I'm digging the pink tool box! Awesome job Rachel as always!

one of the best channels on the tube. Bravo Rachel and crew.

Enjoyed this Soo much. Loved the Dyno test. Also thought the oil weight explation was necessary. Engine oil has come a long way since that ole girl was born.👍

Very detailed instructions, love the way you explain how to. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family

This young lady has great mechanic and teaching skills. I really appreciate her practical approach. One of the best tutorials I've seen.

I live in Chicago so I'm mostly in to cars, but I do know that tractors of today have more challenges with just about items being computer controlled. I am pretty sure the most framers take cases from the MFG to learn the ins and outs on all the computers. I haven't seen a Lady in a long time! No tattoos, no nose rings, not having 20 ear rings in each ear, not have hair with 3 shades of blue, pink, and orange, Am moving to the farm! Thank you for the video! Great!

Happened on your Videos from "Recommendations" I do have to say I'm Impressed with the knowledge clearly behind the scenes the natural talent and ease Rachel Presents. I do cringe a bit thinking about what my shop teacher would say about the Hair-Especially pushing it back during the vids- the idea of getting caught-It was a relief seeing she does pull it back into a ponytail. Rachel has a talent for communication and could stand there in a full hoody rain slicker and still get her point across Proficiently. You did inspire me to purchase a 1956 ford 601 Series Workmaster/w Loader It's being delivered literally today- I wouldn't have EVER considered one that OLD before. I have torn down and Rebuilt many newer larger machines and I can say it's all in the Detail and from Production to Personality to Knowledge to Product- Your's is an impression of Quality.

Great video! Well done, very informative and professional. I rebuilt the engine in my H about 1989.I did not have a computer and computers did not have you tube at that time IIRC, LOL! Good mechanic friend saved my bacon and helped me git'r done. Had to chuckle about your sleeve puller. We did just about exactly the same way -- Buddy Byron cut the disk out with a torch. Did not have to grind to final fit-it was ready to go. The puller tool is still in the "resource" pile. Found one sleeve that was not a very tight fit upon installation. Talked to an old school mechanic at the IH dealer. Suggested spraying high solid high temp aluminum exhaust spray paint on the liner then stuff it in while still wet. This tractor is still running fine after all these years. Built in june 1943 it is used extensively every winter as my primary snow plow tractor and skidding logs in summer.

Impressive! Thank you for the encouragement to get deep into our engines! Still I don't get to my tractor but, I do some mechanics. Again, thank you!

This was the exact video I have been searching for! Thanks so much for taking the time and putting in the effort to make this video! I appreciate the knowledge and tutorial 🍻

SPEECHLESS !! Fantastic tutorial 😁👍👍👍👍

Dont stop Rachel your videos are a good reference to my restoration on my farmall h

Who says women can’t do this stuff, Rachel, you are awesome. Dad must be a very proud guy.

She is totally awesome!! Totally incredible video.

Fantastic video Rachel. Keep up the good work.

A great presentation by a young professional mechanic. I am about to commence rebuilding my IH 434 and this was very good motivation.

Boy, great to see someone who knows what they are doing when it comes to repairing old farm machinery. Writing from Australia, we have an old International Super AWD6 tractor in the shed that hasnt had a spanner on the motor since new and still starts with the glow plugs. God help us the day it doesnt start as these modern day mechanics are stuffed without a computer to plug into the machine. Young Lady , you did a fantastic job and presentation. You taught me alot, Thankyou.

She's an excellent instructor. Well organized, great presentation skills.

Awesome video- would be excellent for a High School small engine class. I taught auto shop for 30 years. It was great to have girls in class because they didn't know it all -and followed directions!

Thank you Rachel, a great commentary, no drama vid ,,,

I don't own a Farmall but I watched it fully. Very nice explenations and enormous skill! Well done!

I always use a little dab of grease on the keepers to keep them stuck to the valves.... helps avoid the pinched finger when you release the spring compressor.

Absolutely professional tutorial! I don't even have a tractor(though I used to have two John Deeres) and I could not stop listening. Great delivery and I love that you used the wireless mic. I'm a sound guy.

Wow, loved this episode, Rachel rocks, she knows her stuff and explains it so well

This young lady is quite the mechanic and teacher. Very knowledgeable and her explanation of specific processes & steps to follow are succinct. Enjoyed the entire video and I don't even own a Farmall H....but Farmall Fanatic does (smile). I think he got me hooked (smile). This was an exceptional tutorial. Job well done, young lady. 👍🏽

Wow, just mesmerizing! Oh, and the tractor is pretty cool too. :D

Woww... A cute girl working on a tractor!!! What could be more awesome than this??

Without any doubt, the best instructional video I have ever seen...meticulous instructor as well.

Old School Mechanics Love it

Instructive video well done and interesting thank you

Rachel. This has to be one of your best ever videos. Everything was clear, precise and very well explained. A thoroughly professional job. I loved how you managed to do the whole job without getting your lovely blue shirt too dirty. I also liked how you tied back your beautiful blonde hair back when necessary. Can't wait for your next video.

I have been watching you for a few years now,, you got more talent ,than a lots guys love to watch all your videos ,,keep up the good work !!!!

One of the best instructional videos on the entire Internet. You completely overhauled an engine in under 40 minutes and I didn't hear one "like" or one "uh..." You know what you are doing and your competence shows. Bravo Ms. Rachel! Your future is very bright!

Your knowledge and presentation skills are extraordinary. Love your videos. I don't own a tractor but you make working on them look fun!

Decent starting point for an engine refresh. When honing the bores some kind of lube such as trans fluid or 10 weight motor oil should be used. Also after grinding the valve seats, the new valves need to be lapped in to make sure they seal.

Thank you sooo very much for making this easy to follow video. I will surely re-watch it when i rebuild the engine on my dad's W4.

First video I watched from this Amazing Lady she got me hooked. Now I need a farmall tracktor and a piece of land to start farming. Thank you very much.

I'm in heaven, A pretty girl with oily hands and a great tool kit, thank you lord !!

When you hone any pressure lubricated engine with the crankshaft still in it, wrap black tape around the journals will keep metal out of the oil holes.

About time!!! Beautiful tractor...beautiful woman! Incredible intelligent woman made me so happy to look forward to rebuilding my tractor! So smart and informative.🙏😊

how absolutely refreshing to have a non male engine rebuild video. I haven't yet watched the video but I am looking forward to it as it is something rarely heard of or seen on the interwebz, thank you!

I rebuilt my first engine when I was about 10. That was 60 years ago, and I've built plenty since. Lately I am watching these engine rebuild videos. Now many of you may find this impossible to imagine, but back in the day we CLEANED THINGS A LOT. No one would ever put the rocker assy back on anything without taking 20 minutes to at least degrunge it. We cleaned things because all kinds of dirt comes loose when you work in the engine. THe crap in the bottom of the pan will come loose. All kinds of crap embedded in the grunge on those rockers WILL come loose and wash into the new oil leaving you with a ton of crap to filter out. What I have noticed is, like this girlie, most rebuilders today never appear to even think about washing anything. In engine work cleanliness is utterly mandatory. She stresses that the new sleeves wont go into a dirty hole. Yippee. But every part she's taken out is a source of potentially abrasive metal bits, carbon, silicates from air that's not clean...microscopic stuff that you don't want in your engine. CLEAN THINGS A LOT and you will rebuild that thing a lot less often.

Well done Rachel! Thanks!

You're an amazing mechanic!

I can see it now: your mom opens up the freezer getting ready to make dinner and says, "Looks like Rachel's rebuilding an engine". :P

Very nice to the point video excellent grammar excellent use of terms I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed this video very knowledgeable

I'm not a farmer, nor a tractor owner operator but I now know how to fix that particular tractor. Great video!

Really enjoy watching your videos love seeing repair videos on the antique iron. If I ever need parts your gonna be my go to because I believe your a top notch mechanic. And you use only the best parts

One Thing Not Covered Was Piston Ring File Fitting Unless Not Necessary In The Kit ? 👨🏼‍🔧

18:07. And she has a good sense of humor too :P

Well done young lady. You are a great instructor.

I don't have a tractor, but the basics of the tractor engine are the same as my classic car, so am learning from here, well made and edited video, very knowledgeable mechanic, explains the steps really well. keep em coming.

Your vise needs aluminum or brass covers, when the vise jaws are holding engine rods.

Damn girl, so what do you want on your sandwich ? You got this I'll go make myself useful :o

You are very very great teacher. You show us every thing what we do.

Love all your rebuild videos. excellent!

brb, buying parts for a tractor i dont own.

That is not a micrometer. It is a caliper and not as accurate measuring around a thousanth of an inch. A couple of torque specifications in the video were referenced as force in pounds; torque is a length*force or foot*pounds in this case. Great video and if I need to rebuild our Super M I know where to go for parts. Great overview. Thanks! Definitely checking out the rest of your videos.

I was actually looking for a video on restoring my record player, but I stopped by to learn about stripping a tractor engine - I can't resist watching somebody who knows what they're talking about! :-)

I have a 230 that seized in the field while haying about 15 years ago. I'd love to see a video like this on the wet sleeved engines. That might be the motivation I need to finally do the rebuild.

Wow! where was a girl like this 40 years ago lol... so refreshing to see

I was looking for a chicken florentine recipe and this amazing mechanic showed up in my feed, I'm Buying a Tractor tomorrow :)

I spun one on a lathe? You can make one if you want? Oh sure let me go to the garage and dust off the old lathe! I don't even have a tractor and I'm watching your videos! And I do want one of those tools you make! You are such an incredible young lady, I pray my son runs into a young lady exactly like you!

My parents still have and use an old Intersmashable...as we call it, 656 with a Duz all loader thats custom attached. Been going since the early 80's when we got it. Rebuilt the inline 6 cylinder twice in its lifetime. Still going strong.

So many comments concerning "Her sex " A dam good" Mechanic "who knows how to teach,show and help You keep your tractor running
