Love working on older tractors,the basic engineering is awesome

Big appreciation for your vids over the years. I think the speed square one was the first one I saw years ago.... The only downside to this channel is you do not make enough videos. You are one of the best on youtube. No slick junk, just real deal work.... Thanks for sharing!

I needed to move an old tie rod out to replace a bent one. I tried heat, beat on it, pipe wrench, come a long, finally I drilled and tapped it and put in a grease fitting in the tube. Pumped it full of grease still no dice. Back to the torch, it steamed and boiled and then broke loose and slid out about 6 inches all at once like a cylinder. Learn something every day.

If that farmer wasn't allergic to grease, that axle would probably still have broken, but the repair would have been easier. Great job on making an excellent repair. That axle must have taken quite a hit at some point to even bend the wishbone.

Great video. Looked like a long day for you. Nothing ever goes easily.

Thats some pure American ingenuity, right there young man. Great job! The right intelligence along with the right tools make a great team.

Great to know someone who does the repairs the proper way and not bodge it just to make a video well done 🇮🇪

Worked a minor miracle on that old girl. The crane sure comes in handy. Can’t wait to get mine working.

Awesome repair. Thanks for bringing us along. 💪👍🏼

It always a good day when a new video comes out from you good job

very happy to see you .... verry good job ; Alban

Glad to see you back.. I use to run a 806 tractor on a 5k ranch in Texas.

One of my favorite channels. God bless you and your family.✝

Poor old 806. We had one on the dairy when I grew up. We never had this problem. Cool video! Looks like it was a big job.

It makes for a long day when your salvaging old parts Ethan but you got it done and thats what we do is get the job done. You mad a fantastic service truck out of old ketchup keep her working buddy

Just noticed the hat as you were removing the wish bone, great channel, just like yours. No matter how good they make cordless impacts, they’ll give up on you where they like, unlike trusty old air, still the best IMO. Great to see you again, and thanks for taking us along on the job. Stay safe out there!

Отличная работа!👍👍👍👍👍 Теперь трактор получит вторую жизнь! Good work! You have gold hands👏👏👏👏👏👏

I have a 2444 with a loader. With the bucked loaded I ran hard into the dirt pile. The non-adjustable front tube broke at the center tube. I slid the tractor on the lowered bucket to where I could work on it. I put a truck bed liner in the mud removed, had a local expert weld it, and reinstalled. The all fit like a glove. I was told by local dealer that loader was too heavy for the front axle.

Love you sticker inside the grinder disc box

Great job brother looks like you been around them tractors 🚜 for a minute 👍

I have seen those axles sleeved with very thick wall tubing and a truss added underneath. You trim some off the smaller telescoping part (most are fixed anyway) and sleeve it. Weld everything up and Bobs your uncle and it will last forever. My neighbor did a 706 axle that had broken that way and it was still good till he sold the tractor. Probably 10 years or so.

When you said fix it again I thought you had a FIAT tractor. I thought you are right about a FIAT . FIX IT AGAIN TODAY.

The tired old girl lives on ❤👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice Job, Been there and you just gotta do what you gotta do.

Your summary cracked me up! Yep, at least it has a front end again. :)

Nice job thank you for sharing

Holy Smokes them stands are 10/10 !

👍👍👌👌 Thanks for the video.

i was a farmall dealer mechanic in 74-76 we had a 806 do the same thing but there was a recall on the early 806. some of them came out with a 706 front end. i had to replace the center tube of the axle only.. when installing a heavy duty front loader there were re enforcing pipes that slid inside the front tube. to break the adjustable axles ends loose the shop had a porta power that i loosened one end and soaked it with PB Blaster and pushed it apart to the next bolt hole then went to the other side once they started moving they came apart easy.. the axle you broke was an early model that had the other problem of shearing the axle key on the spindle assembly..

The old Inter has taken a knee!

I think the problem with the row crop axles is first they are very thin metal and it’s in two pieces, so there for it rusts faster and since they’re two pieces the weight is pushing down on were the two pieces connect also making it possible to break. That’s why if I had a row crop 806 I’d put a fixed axle on it, thicker metal and the weight is pushing mostly on the center of the axle. But keep in mind this is very rare to happen unless it’s happened before and has been fixed (welded) so don’t go thinking, “oh farmall tractors are junk” their not, their great tractors 🙂

Weld it completely ..good job for this tractor

👍👍👍 Thank you 👏👏

love your videos..could I come tour ypur place sometime?..i travel with work often and just curious

good job sir, I know its all worn out but the 806 was a damn good tractor and I bet that has paid for itself many times over. good job

👍🏼🍻

With that camber, you should name it the "GHETTO TRACTOR."

You can slide each side in make it match old axle width the broken one is narrow tracking

Farmer really took care of that 806. 😖 What a shame!

Did you think about just pulling the center section out by loosening the row width adjustment collars and taking the entire wheel mount assemblies from each side and putting them onto the good one?

I hope all is OK with you and your family

I would replace the axle if I had one ..If not i would try to fix the broken one and give it some braces or some thing to make it stronger With the wheels toed out that far would be hard on the axle hitting big ruts or a ditch

CEE, nice.

Well done!

At least it didn't go back into oil pan

Some heat and a BFH can do wonders 😅

"The wishbone is missing it's knob." Sounds bad.

Use heat and quench on the tie rods then you can fix it

Instead of taking out the spindles try sliding out the front spindles out of the main housing and slide in the other then you won't have to take the spindles out..

How did this compare to just sleeve it and weld it up?

oh no you put the bolt on the pin for the axle back in backwards its gonna snap first time the owner almost flips it again lol

The 806 had that awful front end, I can't recall the brand of replacement whole front end, it was foster maybe

If you’re not cursing, you’re not fixing farm equipment sometimes!

Wouldn’t it have been much faster and easier, to weld it and reinforce it like the “new” one?

How did it break

Actually, that design was done for a reason.

I will have to say that those aren’t true Jesus nuts. It may hurt some if they come loose. But, you will definitely survive. A true Jesus but is on the mast of a rotorcraft. Let it come off during flight, and you will meet Jesus.

How the hell did it split like that

Sleeve axle tube.

Does your rate go up or stay the same when you speed up the video? Jk lol

Rernt??. That is a Texas only word. Lol The rest of the English speaking world says “ruined”.

from the looks of things you will working bon this tractor again soon. don't think it gets any maintenance from the owner. i don't get why the neglect.

To me it looks like it's off one spline on the right side

Looks like it's been abused..

Cannot watch because of background noise.

Is it me or is that not a very good design ?

Can you pressure wash the tractor 🚜 one day soon

Why not reforce it before installing if not thers going to be the third time repair this.

this guy thinks he’s an expert not
