Squatch, you're ingenuity and fabrication skills never cease to amaze me 👏👏👏👏👏

“If they don’t find you handsome, at least they’ll find you handy”! My favorite saying from Red Green. And I’ve said for years, “ I’m nothing if not an idea man”!

Work smart not hard is a necessity when you have to work alone. Great job👍

The gasket, fold over lock and special tool maker is at it again.

Having a lathe and a mill in my garage, I've found that I save all sorts of scrap now for use later making parts lol.

You are a smart man and I like that you can overcome the challenges that are put in front of you. People can learn a lot from you if they just pay attention and not try to one up you I like that you are very detailed on your process. I enjoy your videos immensely!!!

Another quality Squatch Special Tools Build!

Very creative and well executed tooling. Toby you are a true craftsman, a tip of the hat to you. Just need to get out the number punch set and assign the tool a part number LOL

Excellent design. It is suggested that tools are what set us humans apart from lower life forms - Squatch you are the top of the toolmakers mountain!! So fun to see your fixture inventions. Well done.

A real Wheels-Always-Turning kind of guy.

Old farms are a gold mine for stuff when you need to fabricate stuff. Im a mobil mechanic, and one time, I spent three days on a remote farm. When I got there, i just wandered around looking at what he had laying around to see what he had that might be useful. Sure enough, I needed a holding bar and I knew right where to find a bit of scrap to make one. Sometimes that hoarding tendancy comes in handy because you never know when you will need some 7/8 roundbar.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Necessity is the mother of invention!!

Your consistent thoughtful preparation and planning is second to none. Very impressive! 👍

I liked it. There is a big opportunity in those belly pumps for a young mechanic such as yourself and I know how much you like to work on them.. you could become a migrant belly pump expert worker and make the big bucks!

Outstanding you amaze me with your logical technical ability.

The mother of all inventions is necessity. All great minds are the ones who is an issue as a meaning to bulid a tool 😂

I actually thought that this was very exciting, nice job!!

I love squatch Tool Time! Wroooh Wroooh!

Handy tool! When I painted the pump, I inserted a piece of threaded rod through the keyhole, then used a piece of heavy chain hook. I then hung it upside down from the engine hoist for painting... For putting it back in place, it was crudely balanced on a block of wood on the floor jack... Slowly lifted into place. I feel like I have done them enough now I am pretty good at balancing it with one hand while working the jack with the other.. But your new tool will be FAR less risky than my option! Nice work on the fabrication!

26' x 7/8" OD rod x 300 pieces. Want a couple lengths.😆 Nice work

Now that's thanking outside the box now can't wait to see it being used keep up all the hard panting

Toby, you always can make a tool best I've ever seen. I've been here for a very long time and I'm still amazed how well you approached ever problem that comes up.

Squatch mastermind👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Bravo

Your videos never fail to educate! After watching your videos, I know I can take the information you provide and perform the exact same task with confidence that it will come out as expected! You're a great teacher and historian all rolled into one.

Having wrestled the belly pumps that is a good idea. The small IH dealer if my youth had a heavy u-bolt with a key way cut that they mounted on a jack. It wouldn't touch the external pump surface. Thank you.

Squatch………..”I made a tool.” Me……………..YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! Really liked the video where Squatch showed us all the tools he made previously for 1113. Good stuff!

You've got the shop version of the one I built for under a tree or gantry use. Mine's two pieces of 1 1/2 x 3/8 flat stock that fit the "keyway" ,go out about 10 inches then upward about 18 inches, to which are welded two rings from a grain drill drag chain. A small chain is attached to each ring ,then up to a chain hoist. Bada booom! That will be one nice H---you've been meticulous.

An absolutely excellent tool for removing or installing that belly pump! However, for painting, I would have just shoved a bar all the way through that hole and suspended it upside down from your engine hoist.

Great job on the tool for the belly pump. Your skills never ceases to amaze me.

Great video Squatch! The tool you made was a really good idea. And like you said this is a two man job to put that pump in place and that simple tool gave you those hands. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers

I love the fabrication episodes

You are truly a steely eyed engineer!!! Amazing!!!

Awesome you’re a genius buddy I would love to hear your thoughts when you are thinking of this stuff lol thanks for sharing have a great 4th

When you have a project like that in mind for a long time, every time you think about it you mentally work out another detail of design, available materials and sequence of manufacturing operations so that when you finally start the process of assembly, it all kind of just flows.

I can tell you've gone to the engineering school of hard knocks! Video production school of desperation of making it on KZfaq! Welding school of *"THAT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE!"* ;) ( Not knocking the welds!) Enjoyed the video!

You've done short episodes before. But you made another new tool, that came from the pile of "I'm gonna keep that I may need it" stuff. Yay for you to have what you need when you need it. A good short video, is still a GOOD video.

Very good. I am one of many who value and appreciate your craftsmanship.

Man, the way your brain works! I believe that you are correct when you say you was born in the wrong time of history. Are you sure that your not a reborn Prototype tractor designer from back in the day? I could easily see you in that role making the design work!

good thinking! I need to build one this summer.

I use engine stands and even old lawn mower frames for painting

WOW! Good tool for the job!

What a wonderful tool to make life simple for assembly and even make the painting an easy chore.

Dang - I Love it!! I have had the occasional wrestling match with the belly pump out of my early M. Nobody is ever around when you need them. Great tool!

excellent tool

really slick idea Toby for handling the Hydraulic pump

Amazing metal working skills.

Very nice squatch. You went farther than I did, but I didn't account for painting either. My pump just balanced on top of the jack, and I used a shaft with pin to hold it vertical and rotate it for alignment. I'll have to remember this.

Excellent design and build on the belly pump "tool"!

I predict some Farmall Red hydraulic jacks in your future. Maybe just tape over the spec label so you know the capacity in the future.

Really cool! It's amazing what a good idea, some old salvaged scraps, good skills, and machine tools can do!

What a great idea!

love how you think out of the box!

Do you suppose CNHi will print a revision insert to the Farmall H-M service manual with a diagram print with measurements of your new tool?

Brilliant design for the hydraulic pump holder!

Damn, that'll save stran on the back and arms! Neet idea, and it makes for a one man installation and removal.😊

Excellent video the new tool looks like a Excellent idea any time you can lift something with a jack or a hoist and engine crane makes the job a whole lot easier keep up the great videos

It was said by many and ole mechanics, once the Tool truck left, hurry and draw out the tool that you want with your modification. All mechanics need these skills

very cool and ingenious.

Amazing work

Outstanding 👍

A cool tool 😊😊👍

Sweet fixture for the pump.

I like red jacks better than blue jacks anyway, thanks for the video!

Like the way you think. Great video!

Please amend the Geneva Convention to mandate all transmissions have the casting design of the h hydraulic pump. Thank you, grease stained community.

tool making takes time. good thinking!

🤔 👍 out standing !! Ever think of manufacturing your own tractor / tool brand? Maybe call it the squatchAll 253 series. 🤔😳🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😝✌️🤙

Nice . Any tool that makes a task easier is well worth the investment of time .

Good design! I have the problem of over complicating projects.

Good content. 👍

Genius Ideal.

Cool idea!

Love this

Nice fabrication idea!!👍🏼👍🏼

Squatch co special tool (patent pending all rights reserved) can't remember that company that appeared in all those cartoons but you have to be catching up well thought out

Great job. You have a very creative mind!

Very clever! Necessity is the mother of invention.

Brilliant plan put to service.

Freaking genius!

Absolutely brilliant idea carried through to production 👌

That was just a amazing idea utilized in a very clever way

Off topic, but knowing you are a train guy, I'm curious what you thought of the videos of 4014 providing helper service to a stalled freight train.

Very nice tool! I'm making something like it when I work on a leaky belly pump that's been bothering me.

Great work!!!! Thank you for sharing..

Good job! I was thinking you would have done two pieces for each side so that it was out like the two man one but attach them to a single plate similarly to what you did so it was open under neath. But that works better.

Short n sweet.

👍

Great thinking.

That is very cool. I am sure you could sell a few of those tool.

Easy!

Spur of the moment tool making separates humans from all other life forms on Earth.

Great episode again Toby! A great tool for the hydraulic pump to! Thanks for the update! Wonder how you strip the paint off the shock. Have a great weekend!

Excellent design and fabrication and let's face it, much less hassle than asking noisy Rick Borg for a hand 😂

Very nice

cool

Good video

That’s genius

Cool!

I would have went with "I am a tool" but anyway. Running by the 4th er no? 🤔
