Today Dad & I have a bunch of mechanical stuff to finish up, and I'll show you how we do it. We disassemble the starter for the Farmall MD and see what parts it needs. I bring you up to date on our repair work on the Farmall MD front wheel centers and put the new tires on the rims. We finish installing the quick attach on the International 2000 loader for the Farmall 656. We take the ring gear off the Farmall MD flywheel, flip it around, and reinstall it so the starter can engage with unworn teeth. And finally, I show you my 1955 International R-172 truck and talk about possible plans for it. It's another busy day on Just a Few Acres Farm!

Your sweet smart father reminds me of quality time with my own father. He is long gone, but those precious moments together are priceless and forever. Thanks for sharing!!

Pete, No matter how many subscribers you get, I never want you to change how you make your videos. Keep up the good work!

That truck would make a good eyecatcher for a mobile farm stand.

My Dad died at 27, put him in the ground on my 28th birthday. Been gone longer than I was with , Pete enjoy your treasure. One shot it was like Henry was watching you.

@edp9743 3 года назад

A 3/8 '" fine thread nut will thread over the end of the valve stem also, and a warm tire setting it out in the sun, will conform much easier to the rim rather than a cold tire. Pete you are so lucky to be able to work with your dad! I miss mine dearly.

Your Father reminds me of my Dad a man , so much talents and a great teacher for my family to learn . He was a farmer and a truck driver he delivered studi Baker cars and trucks in the 1950 to 1968 you know the rest of the story . Remember safety is number one on your farm .

@SchnelleKat 3 года назад

Pete. What i usually do with the tube as well and tire is coated it with baby powder helps it from getting caught and pre-maturely wearing (from my experience) than ripping.

@deercreeker 3 года назад

That International truck is terrific! If it were me, I would restore it, add a refrigerated box to the back and use it to transport your product to the farmer’s market. With some nice logos, it would be an awesome advertising piece.

Thanks "Dad" for the lesson..... Haven't Heard someone mention a Hacksaw Blade Growler in 25yrs! special Thanks for the Flashback being taught by My Grandfather.... God Bless Your Sir..... We ALL can learn something some your Generation..... Hope to get another Lesson Soon???? Hint, Hint.....

A restoration on that truck is a must....the body is beautiful ESPECIALLY for a New York rust belt truck

@stephendixon4619 3 года назад

Love the old truck. Great to see your dad and his friend help you with the starter and bucket. When working with old machinery access to a professional mechanic is terrific. Access to a machinist is priceless.

Great one Pete. So good to see you and your Dad working together. It's a big effort to film, edit, and post the videos and it is appreciated.

@kirbyholton1082 3 года назад

I learned to drive in a 1951 International pickup. Dad bought it new in 51 and we kept it for many years and used it on the farm. Great truck. We lived on a dirty road in South Georgia and when it rained a lot the roads would rut up pretty bad. The muffler would get dragged of by the mud and Dad grew tired of this so he welded a straight pipe with no muffler and that served the purpose. I enjoy your channel, it brings back a lot of memories.

@garyida1672 3 года назад

When putting the second bead on a rim start putting it on opposite of the valve stem,a little talcum powder inside the tire will keep the tube from sticking to the tire

@maxlimit18 3 года назад

Sightly inflating the tube and coating with baby powder helps prevent the tube from wrinkling and pinching.

@maxlimit18 3 года назад

@@theda850two my bottle of baby powder is years old- I didn’t know about the lack of talc in the new stuff. Thanks for the info!

It’s a true pleasure watching real mechanics. Most mechanic practices now are just parts replacement. Keep up the great videos!

Cool! Hi Dad! Great you brought him into the videos. Makes it more familyish. Thanks again.

Pete your a blessed man to have your father at the age you are and he is a blessed man to have a son like you . Lost my father when I was 13 it was hard to remember everything he tought me and do thing like he did I figured it out and have had a good life thank you for sharing

@redneckryan615 3 года назад

That IH truck is beautiful... find you a IH 345 to put in that thing and put a flatbed on it, boom, you have a great advertising truck to take to markets.

@richardbohlingsr3490 2 года назад

Good tip to deflate the tube to allow it is relax and realign itself inside the tire. Pigs are growing fast now. Restoring that old 1 ton and making it a refrigerated box truck would make a great truck to haul your food to the farmers market.

@johnrosier1686 3 года назад

The truck looks pretty solid. I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Thanks to you and your father for the lesson on starters.

@davidswick8353 3 года назад

I found over the years changing Motorcycle tires, that Furniture wax, like Lemon pledge sprayed on the Tube, Tire, and Rim, make the job a little easier.

@thunderingherd5221 3 года назад

Pete, love the vids with you and your Dad working together. He’s a smart guy...like his son. Documenting some terrific memories together.

Ooooo... that ol' truck would make a fine weekend-go-to-market rig, with a flatbed to stage off of. Nice ol' corn binder rig.

Pete - the smaller inside diameter of the wheel is called "the drop center." Keep up the good work!

This reminds me of my grandpa. Me and him used to build starters, alternators , and radiators. It was always fun but he can’t do that now.

@dblair1247 3 года назад

I remember my dad working on starters. He used a growler and hacksaw blade. He would turn the commutators on a device he had. Also remember him heating and shrinking ring gears. I also remember working on tires the hardway.

@zodszoo 3 года назад

Thank you again. The wealth of knowledge shared is truly appreciated.

@metzfarm6494 2 года назад

Hey Pete. Next time you need to put tubes in something try this trick. Before you put the tube inside the tire, blow it up a bit and sprinkle a generous amount of baby powder on it. Deflate the tube and install it in the tire and rim. The baby powder acts as a dry lubricant and allows the tube to expand and conform to the tire and rim much easier and helps to prevent tears on your new tube. And as an added bonus, if you ever need to repair the tube, it will have a lovely fragrance to it. Lol!

@robtheslob9649 3 года назад

Pete..... I know you'll do what you want to do.... that's one of the things I really like and respect about you. And I know you don't provide content solely to increase your subscriber numbers........ however, I guaran-damn-tee there would be great interest in restoring that groovy truck....... enough perhaps to crack the elusive 100k mark :-) I can see you packing it up with your goodies and heading off to market!!

@Rockyandhislolmoose 3 года назад

I'll tell you what, you are my favorite channel. From the jokes to the tractors. I was in Florida earlier this month and saw a sign for a Farmall museum.Unfortunately we were going to stop at Don Garletts museum. Bummer, but I'll be in Florida next year, I'll go stop there then. Keep up the great content.

@gabbyhaze5857 3 года назад

I've changed a lot of starter ring gears. No need to heat them as you remove them. Just drive them off cold, You'll need to heat them to reinstall them though.

@SuperMAZ007 3 года назад

This truck deserves to be as it is. No mods, no diesel. You can just build a flatbed on the back and it can be used on the farm? Like ok maybe it is very old and not that useful anymore.But for the fun of it why not?

@gretaknebel8495 3 года назад

@2020jd 3 года назад

That truck needs a diesel swap with a flatbed to make it an awesome farm truck/tow rig. Honestly the body swap idea onto a diesel frame is a good idea! My vote would be a dodge, but I’m biased towards Cummins lol.

@opaopaopa7793 2 года назад

I so much enjoyed seeing your dad more or less featured in this video. Two generations of wisdom sharing their knowledge with your viewers. Hello, Dad! I enjoy all your videos--they take me back to my youth on the farm--but I especially enjoy seeing cameos by family members. More Hilary in the future?

@rorywynhoff1549 3 года назад

On bushings, like your starter, I use a thick paste of grease and graphite. Takes just a little bit and the bushings hardly wear at all. Thanks for the video, brings back memories.

When working for Ryder Truck. We were told not to use dish soap on tire beads they would rot them out. We used a tire grease lube called fry lube, they came apart much easier.

@joeynickell5674 3 года назад

Love my dad but I wish he had the knowledge yours did. I’m learning on my own as I go. Thx for the videos!!

@captainfecc2526 3 года назад

I mentioned the truck. Thank you for the information, that was very interesting. I was almost sure it has an inline 6. That is a good base for a rat rod, love them, but I love restored trucks too. For sure it isn't an easy desision, either way it will be awesome. And by the way, I was born in 1988, in the year when your father bought the truck.
