Finally made the socket to tighten the nut, got the bearings torqued, and still ran into issues with the shims. #ford #tractor #homemadetools #axlebearing
Thank you Carl!! I always appreciate the input on how y'all like the videos!! I have had a few people ask about details, so that's what these are gonna be about!! Some will enjoy, some won't...but it's who I am, and what's happening at the farm!! Thank you again for the input sir!! I really appreciate that!! Also for always being here!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
That is so true Mr Pete!! Tim is awesome truly, actually had an issue with the steering box and called him...we finally figured it out, not at all what I expected 🤦 He is very knowledgeable, and super nice!! They don't make them like that anymore!! Won't be long my friend!! Thank you very much for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you very much Mr Jan!! I am sure you guys are bored with seeing all the 3000 videos, but have a had a few ask me for details in the process!! Really appreciate your kind words and always being here!! Thank you very much sir !! 😁😁👍👍👍
I'm pretty sure you put more than 250 ft.lbs. on that axle nut. It looks like the torque is to keep the nut from loosening and a little extra , as long as nothing strips or breaks, is not necessarily a bad thing. I'd hate to be the next guy trying to take that nut off that axle! I am glad you could order the shims you need. I'm pretty sure paying someone to make them for you would have cost way more than what you paid. It is great the way you find solutions to the challenges of fixing old equipment. You are an inspiration, Mr. Nelson. God Bless.
I think the torque setup was some of my OCD!! Because yes sir, the nuts were finger tight when I tore it apart!! Oh my, yes....I don't envy them for sure 🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦 Thsoe shims scared me....but praise the Lord they were still available!! And the dealership was about 12 bucks cheaper per shim too!!! Thank you VERY MUCH for the kind words Mr Paul!! That really means alot sir!! I do enjoy the chalo, and y'all's support is a blessing!!! Thank you sir as well for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
I didn't really think about that fact until after I climbed my big tail down off the wrench🤣🤣🤣 Especially with those few complimentary bounces 🤦🤦🤦But thank goodness they held, and yes sir it's going back together nicely! I really can't believe how easy the parts are, what dealers stock, and the choices there are for these!! I think we really scored in that aspect!! Thank toy very much my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍🍻🍻
You get to play with all the big boy toys and work on some interesting projects. I wouldn't know where to start! You really put your weight into tightening with that wrench! Have a great week Nelson!
At times I think it's a curse, but boy it sure is easy in the pocketbook to be able to do some myself!! Thank you sir for the kind words, and Always being here!! I really appreciate that!! Cheers Mr Rich!!
I think you've invented something - a 250 lb torque pipe wrench. Pretty cool idea, Nelson. And it did work. I liked how you improvised and supported it. Great thinking! 👍👍👍👍👍 I may steal that idea for my own use sometime.
Nothing is sacred around here Mr Charlie!! 🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣 We couldn't for the life of us figure on how to keep the axle damage free and get 250 ft lbs...well you see the solution 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes sir, feel free!! It did seem to work like a charm!! Thank you very much Mr Charlie, for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 👍👍👍😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I believe you have the nuts torqued to the proper torque. LOL. The socket turned out nice. The things we make and do to work on our old equipment to keep it going. Keep up the good work. Have a good week Nelson.
Thank you Mr Monty, a few extra complimentary bounces did the trick I think 😁😁😉😉 Thank you for the kind words, and yes sir, the things we make!! But sure bets payments on brand new stuff and waiting on dealerships when it breaks 😉😉😁😁 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! I hope you do as well Mronty!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you very much Mr Tim!! It should fit right in, and probably lead the path!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 👍👍😁😁😁
Gosh I know Mr Chris!! Seems I am a geological oddity from most parts 🤦🤦🤣🤣 Well, pondered long and hard....finally spotted the 4 ft wrench in the corner , yep that's the ticket 🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You're making good progress Nelson! Glad you have a dealer close by. The only close dealer here is John Deere, the closest Agco or CaseIH or New Holland dealers are all about 40 miles away. I hate paying dealer prices but sometimes they are the only place to go for oddball parts. Thanks for the video! Hope you have a good one Nelson!
Thank you very much Evan!! I had forgotten that the CNH dealer can get a few red parts as well!! So really the only oddball is the 165 for parts😁 And I need to check, because they are selilng Massey Ferguson there too🤦😁 Sometimes I get in my own little wordl and forget how things were before the Internet🤦 Tim there is a very knowledgeable gentleman, and actually just helped me figure out another weird issue on the 3000, that's in an upcoming video 😁 Thank you very much my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍😁😁
Thank goodness it did Mr Bryce!!! I really didn't think about that at the moment 🤦🤦🤦 We came in just under the 250 mark according to some off camera checks 😉😉 So I feel comfortable that being a farm tractor we will be fine 🤞😁👍 Thank you sir for the kind words and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸👍👍
Thank you very much Ryan for that!! We steady digging...trial by fire for sure!! But so far going pretty good!! Thank youy friend for the kind words and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 👍👍😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
AMEN Mr Tony 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 With enough time and thought, anything is possible... especially down here 😉🇺🇸 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that! 😁😁😁👍👍👍🙏
I'm sure with that 4 foot pipe wrench you got 250 or better on that nut. This is a real nice project. It's the kind of thing that gives a guy a good feeling when it's done. Even fun while you're working on it. Making tools like the Frankenstein socket is always a good time. 👍🙂
I think we were pretty close Mr Will😉😉😉 I am loving every min of, especially having Dad there in the shop with me for most of it!! Always makes a guy feel good to make those special tools!! Thank you Mr Will for all the great input and support!!! And for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁😁👍👍👍
Those nuts are not going to come loose.....Your life is like mine Nelson, it's called Waiting for parts.... That should be a nice little tractor for your Dad.....Thanks Nelson....
Thank you sir, pretty close I do believe 😉😉 Gosh I know....that has been a huge hold up on this one!! He is looking fwd to it for sure!! Thank you Mr Brent for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁👍👍👍
Man I wish we were closer I would be right there with bells on my friend!! Heck yeah the trouble we could get into!! Now you have my curiosity in overdrive🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😁😁👍👍 Can't to hear about this soon!! 😉😉
Great job on the MacGyver fixes. Although I have to admit when I saw you hanging from the rafters The only thing that came to mind was one of those videos titled the reason women live longer than men, LOL! It's always something working on old equipment and trying to find the parts to fix them. Glad to see you're getting it knocked out. Stay safe my friend
You know I never really question my welds that much, but I must say ....the thought of the quality really hit home after editing this one 🤦🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆 It's always a challenge for sure Mr Steve!! Thank toy sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! She is getting really close!! 👍👍😁😁
You’re getting there, bet you’ll be taking victory laps on that tractor by next weeks video! Your sophisticated torquing method and frankensocket did the job just fine. 👍
Thank you sir!! It shouldn't be much longer indeed!! I had a more elaborate method in mind...but soon realized my torque wrench stopped at 150 ft lbs🤦🤦🤦🤣🤣 I forget the extra bounce did the trick🤣🤣🤣 Thank you sir for all your support and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍😁😁😁
Pretty smart Nelson. Good guys in the parts department aren’t much of a thing around here anymore, most of the good ole boys are retiring. Maybe that’s a sign… 🤣😬😅 Take care and have a great week.
Thank toy VERY much!!! I know EXY what you mean, I lucked up and found a gem still willing to help!! Retirement, man that sounds amazing!! Thank you both very much for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope y'all do as well!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Thank you very much Alan!! I really appreciate you!! We have been blessed for sure this winter!! Now we have plenty of mud, if you ever run low!! 🤣 -20 oh my gosh, I admire all you guys that farm right along in that weather! I couldn't do it, I would freeze solid within minutes!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope y'all fare well in the cold snap this week up that way!! I heard Mr Will, say it was gonna be rough 🥶🥶🤞🤞🙏🙏
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar I have been thinking about investing in a torque multiplier kit for some of the heavier stuff I have to crank down on around here.
The buddy and I spoke of that too!! It's so hard to really get a great measurement with that axle in the way, thought about a side socket on the pipe. But didn't have one heavy enough, so the amplifier would be awesome!!! Thank you Mr Matt for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍😁😁😁
😉😉😉😁😁😁😁 Thank you my friend for always being here!! I really appreciate that!! Ole girl doesn't get used much, so she was excited to attend the party 😉😉🤦🤦🤣🤣
Looks like your socket worked great 👌, good ol farmer engineering lol. Crazy what those shims cost, but at least you can get some. Think you'll have the ford ready for work in no time 👍👍. Good luck with the rest, cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Turned out pretty well Iust say!! We added to the socket behind the scenes and checked with a TA, it was within a few lbs....so I can't complain 😁😁😉😉 Oh my, the shims are theost expensive part yet, and praise the Lord the were available!!! Hate to keep boring y'all with the repairs, but have been a few asked for detailed videos!! Won't be long now for sure!! Thank you again for always being here, I really appreciate that sir!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🍻🍻
Thank you Dylan, shouldn't be to long!! A few more parts and we will be golden!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One time I was jumping on a cheater pipe on a pipe wrench like that. Damn near broke the handle. Bent the hell out of it. Seeing you do that gave me flashbacks
I have been known to do some sketchy stuff, and this ranks right up there with the top 3 🤦🤦😁😁🤣🤣 Oh no, I bet it did if you had that happen 😳😳🤦🤦 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! The name 🤦🤦🤦🤦
We you know, good video effect🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣 Actually went a step further and welded a socket on the pipe, borrowed a TA and we were just a few shy of the 250 mark so I can't complain😁 Now that check is about as sketchy as the 4 ft x245 ordeal but it made me feel a little better 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Dang it, I knew I forgot the clicking sound 🤦🤦🤦😆😆😆
Honored my friend, thank you sir!! AMEN to that, something's we just have to figure it out on our own!! Really appreciate that my friend, really I do!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍
Thank you Josh, mixed emotions it seems but pretty dang close if ya know what I mean!! Oh my gosh no you didn't do that! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍😁😁😁
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar yup never happened and I've drank a beer looking for deer in back seat of a 🚨 car but it, is nice to know what going on at night and nowhere to be in the morning
Well think you sir for the compliment, I was a little concerned afterwards🤦 That's a whole.lot of tail on that leverage maker, and a few food complimentary bounces didn't help the situation 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But prevailed once again, thank goodness 😁😁 I really appreciate that sir and toy always being here, really means alot 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looks like its coming together and not too shabby i can say . lucky you have anew holland dealer around few miles away and getting your parts from the same depot some of my red parts come from
It is AJ, finally making progress!! Yes sir, I am blessed to have it so close!! I didn't even put 2&2 together on the IH stuff there too, until someone mentioned it earlier!! That's freaking awesome!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
Ain't gonna lie, I was waiting for that pipe wrench to snap from the bouncing on it. Funny thing is I've done the same thing to loosen big bolts. Kind of a cool Frankenstein tool you concocted up. Looks like you got it going your way Nelson! Am I late?
Well I never really question my welds but that day after it was over....I kinda breathed a little relief, that alot of tail bouncing there 🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣 Farmer tools 🤦🤦🤣🤣 Thank sir, it was gonna be a little different ..but realized my torque wrench only went to 150 ft lbs🤦 Did borrow a TA later and double check though 😁 Never late when you are here my friend!!! Wed and Sundays for me most of the time!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
Good evening Nelson. Hopefully you don't have to much torque on the bearings like a few others have said with the leverage if the long wrench and bouncing on it I would guess you are way over 250
Good evening Ron!!! Believe it or not, my OCD wouldn't let me do it without double checking🤦🤦 I added a little something to the socket, borrowed a TA and checked...we were still a touch under 250, but close enough for a farm tractor I think 😉😉😉👍👍 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁👍👍👍
Yep, I'd say that's about 250 ft lbs right there, LOL. Nice thing about the tractors I have is I can get parts for all 3 at the New Holland dealer and there are 2 dealership close by. My IH, NH, and Ford all come under CNH.
Close enough I figure anyway Mr Robert 🤣🤣🤣🤣 One extra bounce for food measure 🤦 You know, I didn't think of that...need to check about the IH stuff there too 🤔🤔 Thank you very much sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
@IP Farms Yep, they all fall under Case/New Holland. Sperry Corp. bought New Holland in 1947, then it was bought by Ford Motor Company in 1986, then FiatAgri in 1991. Then, in 1999, Fiat Group acquired Case Corp and merged it with New Holland to create CNH Global.
Thank you very much my friend!! So good to see ya here again!! God is good!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Looking fwd to seeing you again soon 😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I believe had that happened or a weld broke...the video might have gone viral 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦🤦 I had a pretty good grip on the ceiling just in case though 🤣🤣🤦🤦 Thank you Russ for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁😁
Love your torque wrench, and a question what kind of wire and gas are you using in your welder, Nelson all I can tell you is order one of those old man steps well worth the $ for the 1086! Be kind brother!👍
Figured it would be a good conversation piece Keith, can't really argue not knowing the exact specs 😉😉😉 But let's just say my OCD allows for follow ups off camera and we were close for sure !! The wire is generic, but the gas is a "special" blend let's say. The ole Lincoln loved it, but I am gonna have to tinker with the Hobart some it doesn't like it quite as much! I am gonna look into those steps for sure!!! Thank you so much Keith for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🍻🍻
Hahahaha....I don't believe you had a bit over 242 foot pounds on that thing....well, until you started spring boarding that is !! LOL And look at you there burning wire like a boss !! Awesome job. Frankensocket worked perfectly. I think I have the same Rigid wrench too. You sure got lucky with the dealership being so helpful. Great video my friend.
You were just about exactly right Mr Wendell!!!!! We did check by welding a socket on, then borrowed a TA 😉😉😉 I think I was having a little to much fun with those bounces 🤦🤦 Finally getting the hang of that little Hobart!! The ole rigid gal doesn't see a lot of action, but always the perfect fit when she is needed!!! I have to say I agree, Tim is amazing!! Thank you sir for the kind words and always being here!! I really appreciate that!! 😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar You bouncing on the pipe wrench reminded me of the first time I removed the two piece buds on an '85 C-60 I had. Not realizing the left side of the duals had left hand threads, I couldn't for the life of me get those things to bust loose the same way as you were doing on the Fords axle nut. Then just for the heck of it I tried the other way and holy cow.....I found out the hard way they are left handed on that side of the truck!! I had the long bud wrench on the outer nut, resting on an old RR jack and the 4' pipe wrench and about a 4' cheater on the handle. I could sure hear 'em squeak as I was bouncing and bouncing on it in the wrong direction !!
Oh my goodness 🤦🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now that is a Nelson move sure enough Mr Wendell!! I would have probably went and got the loader, before realizing 🤣🤣🤣 That one made me chuckle sure enough my friend!! 😁😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar Man, talk about a dummy move...but heck I though Chrysler was the only ones to run left hand threads on the left sides of cars. It never dawned on me. But then I saw an "L" stamped on the end of each inner bud on this side and a "R" on the end of each one on the right side. Chevy musta knew there'd be guys like me !! (-;
@@tractorman4461 🤦🤦🤣🤣 I would have done the same thing, only to never see the L, continue to pray and beat until breaking the studs off one by one attributing it to major rust and bad luck 🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was worried about my fat tail being to much....but we came in right around the 250 ark...even a blind squirrel wins a nut once in a while 😁😁 Thank you for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well, you still are here...and thank you for that!! I kept this one below 10 min 🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you regardless Andy, for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
Sketchy huh, they say hind sight is always 20/20🤣🤣 Hopefully they won't go anywhere in my lifetime!! Thank you Mr Tom for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍👍
And adapt and overly cousin Scott!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 Hope things are well, I need a pontoon boat here this week 🤦🙏
