Splitting the Farmall Super C & Removing the Crankshaft | Farmall Super C Restoration Episode 2

Рет қаралды 125,012

Жыл бұрын

Today I'm splitting the Farmall Super C, removing first the front bolster and wheels, then the engine. Then it's on to tearing the engine down to remove the crankshaft, to send it to the machine shop to be ground.

The great thing about these old tractors is that they were built to be serviced by the farmer. The new tractors may be more efficient as far as fuel economy goes and more ergonomic BUT they are built so that they can only be serviced by an authorized dealer. The old tractors tend to last longer because there is no computer controls that can break down.

You have a natural talent of talking to people and not at them. Thanks for sharing.

Growing up on a farm where all repair work was done in house then getting my drivers license, getting given an old bomb of a car & fixing it to road worthy condition attacking the project the same way you do which is how you know works for you. With that mindset mechanicing is sooo much fun!!!! Sadly for me choosing to commercially dairy farm it has forced us to “specialise” & I don’t have the time to enjoy maintenance like we used to growing up.

It’s a pleasure to watch you work on your old tractors, having the expertise to not only describe the work steps but also the parts description your working on. My guess you picked up a ton of maintenance skills working with your dad, but it’s clear you also have a mechanical gift that you were born with. I recognize it from watching my oldest brother work all his life on every kind of car or truck the average American ever owned and at some point had to take it to the shop to get repaired. He was a young kid back from the Korean War with less than a high school education but with a mechanical gift and took pride in all his work much like you.
