Watching the farmers fix tractors as a kid is what started my road to mechanics and hot rodding. I grew up on a farm fixing tractors with stick/arc welders and oxygen acetylene cutting torch and hand tools bigger then my fist so watching this is comforting and enjoyable. Good job on the rebuild!

Tractors rock! Aaron, as a New York farm boy in the 1950s, John Deere and Farmall dominated the fields!

@chjp2346 Жыл бұрын

FYI, the front crank bearing/bushing bore has a chamfer on the inside to install the bushing from the inside with a bolt washer type tool to draw it into place. Also the rear crank bearing/bushing can be removed with a punch (drive on the center at an angle) install new bushing with a flat plate until flush.. Your welcome.

Gentlemen pay attention to this woman. She is very very rare. She jumps right in to help. She is never in the way. Asks all the right questions. Is not afraid of getting dirty. She loves her man. He loves her. She is also one in 10million. I had a wife like this. She got cancer and had to go. I sure do miss her.

@ben1canobe150 Жыл бұрын

Just a suggestion: Use a copper hammer or a copper bar to knock in gears, bearings etc... so you don't scar or break things. It just gives it a little bit of cushioning. Copper hammers/ mallets - are easy to make... and you can make a copper bar out of about any copper laying around. Brass will work too - but I prefer copper myself. Great job by the way - thanks for sharing. I love this stuff - keep it coming.

@lewisbolman7862 11 ай бұрын

Zinc works well too, work in a die shop and it doesn't chip as quick as brass or copper

I was thinking of a dead blow hammer, yes copper or brass is also better than steel on steel. Also a bench press and a hydraulic press may come in handy.

Bush hog, snow blade, belly mower I wish I had the bucket. But at 13, what can you do? I do remember looking at the attachment brochure the dealership had often. Funny thing is, that was the first engine I have ever done service work on. By myself. I have been an engine builder for almost 30 years now. Thanks for the memories.
