Reinstalling the Transmission and Working on Shifting | Farmall 856 Restoration Episode 8 

As my dad used to say, "No need to start a job, unless you're going to do it right." Your attention to detail is remarkable. Thanks Pete!

What a great way to start a morning - a new "Just a Few Acres Farm" video and coffee!

Between you and your Pop, no restoration roadblock stands a chance! Dynamic Duo!

Your a natural educator . Wonderful to watch you make it right . I love your farm videos but this restoration is amazing . Thank you Pete for taking us along .God Bless

Pete, you continually amaze me at your knowledge and ability to restore tractors. Well done.

Pete - Kudos to your dad for his work to restore the shifting fork! Your dad has a lot to teach all of us.

You are a little like the Mr. Rodgers of Farming and it's great! Very calm and composed! "Tomorrow, tomorrow, we'll start the day tomorrow...."

🥓🍳☕️ & watching Pete put the puzzle back together 😎

I was concerned about leaving the rubber band around the bearings, but that took care of itself. Now I am less anxious. About that.

Good afternoon, Pete. You amaze me by having all your parts in order- My father would be proud of me watching your restoration, Farmall 856, instead of the "crap" on TV

Patience, Patience, and more Patience. The best tool in your kit. 🇺🇸

A tractor is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna have to do more of. Lol. Love your videos Pete!

Good morning Pete. Gonna be a great day !!!!!👍

Glad to see you added some new tools to help save your back.

Thank you Pete for another great video. A young man could learn so much from you if he would volunteer his time just to work with you. When I was young I would volunteer my time and help Older people and learn from them.They have a vast amount Knowledge.

Another great morning watching your "new" tractor heading towards the finish line.

I wish i had the ability to tear apart a tractor and put it back together without having parts left over 😂

first time commenter..i make my tractors look new and let a local mechanic do the nuts and bolts repairs.. to each his own level of ability.. you are very interesting to view.. thanks for another enjoyable video..at least you didn`t draw blood on this one..

Pete it joys my heart to see a happy man , money isn’t everything ever time ,you r a very intelligent man living life at its fullest great example for us all . Really enjoying your vidios . Kingfish from Tenn .

Really enjoy your great attitude and methodology to working in this 856. Thank for sharing this experience with us

Once again you have made winter so much more enjoyable spending time with your rebuilding. Although it’s just for a short period of time , it’s been interesting and fun . Your patience with and funny comments with difficult bolts , gears has taught me to be more patient with things on our small ranch . Thank you so much , you’re the best !

We haven't seen your dad in ages. And how are the piggers doing?

Nice work, Pete

Great work Pete

@6:56.."the click of my internal torque wrench".... HAHAHA!! sounds like your internal Torque wrench could use some lubricant!!😂

Thanks and GOD BLESS 😀

Thanks Pete. With your tutelage I believe I have finally mastered using a Ball-peen hammer. On what exactly is another discussion according to my wife.

Great video again💪💪💪

Always a pleasure to watch you work. You do things precisely how I would if I had your skills. Every installment is outstanding -- among the best instructional videos on You Tube!

Nice editing, Pete. Thanks for sharing. -EZ

Good morning. Really enjoying videos.

Good morning Pete!

Your Father's ability to redo a part is so helpful and you know it is right. Amazing video Pete! Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing and all your efforts.😊

Good morning Pete great video I like the part where you had your father repair that part for your tractor. I’m going to work with my grandson when I do my Ford to end in the spring and I’m gonna be passing a lot of my knowledge I hope to him so not only is he going to get the tractor but he’ll get some of the knowledge I have and hope he help because hell, I’m 80 years old. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be around but I want him to learn as much she can while I’m still here. Thanks again.

I really enjoy your rebuild videos

Good day to all.

Thanks Pete. This was very, very, interesting! I'm amazed at the engineering that went into designing this, at that time in in our history. To me it's remarkable!!

It amazes me how the replacement parts for the old tractors are available. Could you share with us what some of these parts cost? It would be interesting. Thank you

I like how Pete talks to the parts he's fitting together. It kind of makes sense to me.

Great video as always and good morning!

Morning Pete

I am really enjoying this restoration series. I marvel at the intricacies of this tractor.

Can’t wait for the next one! Another GREAT job Pete

Pete, I have to admit to a little "hero" worship. I wish I had the knowledge and talent that you have to do the things you do!

I admire the way you work Pete. Great job explaining everything.

Always a pleasure, Pete. I'll bet the old gent you bought it from would enjoy climbing aboard to see/feel the difference you're making to his ol' pride and joy.

Great job showing and explaining in enough detail for a DIY guy like me!

no idea how a transmission works but this helps and was explained well.

Your theory on restorations is right inline with mine!!! You're so soothing to watch and listen to and the machinery is the right color!!

Thanks Pete 🙂. Got to spend another enjoyable morning drinking coffee with you. 22 degrees here this morning. Good time spent inside.

Thanks Pete for the video!

@13:48.... Too funny... I want to guard my eyes EVERY time ..( my husband was a welder)..

I have really enjoyed watching you rebuilding the tractor. I have never been a guy who enjoyed mechanic work, but admired folks like you who have the love and ability doing this rebuilds. Just this morning I took my brother to pick up his dump truck and met the mechanic who does his repairs. Miles is a heavy equipment Mechanic and I asked him what piece of he enjoyed working on the most. Miles said he enjoyed working on Caterpiller D10’S. I guess every mechanic has his favorite machine or brand of machine he likes to work on. Growing up on a dairy farm we had a International Farmall H and a Ford 8N, now you know how old I might be. I can’t wait to see you finish the rebuild and see the tractor running like a kitty full of cream. I love ever minute watching you work!

I'm gonna pass out when you first operate this dream machine.

Kid's clothes rags are always around the shop reminding you of ten years ago.

When you are finished, you will have a great tractor and your viewers will have the education and entertainment for long to come. Thanks. Have a great day!

Very informative video. Thanks !!!

I'm still amazed that you remember what pieces go where when you put these back together. And then it all works!

Hi Pete..Outstanding video again today...you give me a lot of satisfaction watching you putting your tractor back together....and your knowledge is impressive..thank you enjoy your week....

My anticipation is heighten, as we're getting closer to the final stages. i like the use of the rubber band to hold the pin bearings, such a useful tip. i can not wait to hear her purr. Pete this 856 is going to love you back in bunches.

I like the idea of new gauges that look original, but there are lots of them out there that are cheap Chinese knock offs that don't always work well or for long.. That is where some tractor forums can be good help, by reading comments of people who have been down that road.

I did enjoy the video Pete. I'm subscribed to a couple hundred channels and yours is in the top 5 or 6 so THANK YOU Pete! May God bless you and your family. 👍

Great video!

Pete, Awesome as always..... Aloha...................

It's amazing the engineering on these old tractors. Done with sliderules not computers. Thanks Pete! Keep Smilin!!!!

Hello Pete I sure am enjoying this rebuild. Couldn’t help to notice where have the jokes gone with an occasional joke it would be a perfect video. Thank you and hello to Hilary and family from Phoenix

Great video, Pete. Making progress. 👍👍👍👍

It's so great you still have your dad.!!❤ Hope he's around for many more years.

What l like about your tractor restorations is you get them working like new and then you work with them. No trailer queens on your farm. 👍

Pete, I think you NOW have enough blue thread lock for the next YEAR1! That’s the biggest bottle I’ve ever seen… 😂😂😂

I'm glad to see there's some people out there to steal. Want to do the job, right? Thank you, Pete

Thank you for another shop class...

What a great start well, almost a start. To my day. It actually started a 04:30, but you're close enough. Thanks Pete

Love watching... Please keep educating us with your work ethic.

your videos are amazing to watch always learning something new, keep up the good work, looking forward to more.

Great video on how to inspect parts and being thorough. Show that every little bit of slop adds up to big issues.

👍a load leveler is a great investment. Saves time and energy. The short chains with hooks are handy for other purposes also.

Thanks for the great video Pete.

I knew you weren't going to leave that rubber band. lol. Always good content!!

hi pete.you are still awsome,and im still lost,lol i enjoy the vidieos very much.

Excellent series Pete, keep em coming.👌

Hey Pete I appreciate every second of your videos thank you for everything you do!

That tractor is going to shift like new!

I’m Always excited to hear what you have to say about the farm. I hope to hear that the cows in the calfs coming soon with along with the pigs.

Very nice Pete - if you keep doing tractor rebuild videos you're going to need a new building to store them all in!

I'm still with you. Thanks for your humble, genuine and passionate approach to helping other learn. It is apparent that you are passionate about helping others with an endless intrinsic reward. Keep doing a great job. SW Ontario Canada
