“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”!

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

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.

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.

Another quality Squatch Special Tools Build!

Necessity is the mother of invention.

A real Wheels-Always-Turning kind of guy.

Necessity is the mother of invention!!

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.

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!

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!!!

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

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

I love squatch Tool Time! Wroooh Wroooh!

Outstanding you amaze me with your logical technical ability.

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.

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.

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

Squatch mastermind👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Bravo

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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 love the fabrication episodes

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

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

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.

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 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!

WOW! Good tool for the job!

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.

good thinking! I need to build one this summer.

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

excellent tool

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

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

Amazing metal working skills.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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

love how you think out of the box!

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!

very cool and ingenious.

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

Amazing work

really slick idea Toby for handling the Hydraulic pump

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

Sweet fixture for the pump.

What a great idea!

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

tool making takes time. good thinking!

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

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

Like the way you think. Great video!

Brilliant design for the hydraulic pump holder!

Outstanding 👍

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

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

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

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

Good content. 👍

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

Brilliant plan put to service.

A cool tool 😊😊👍

Nice fabrication idea!!👍🏼👍🏼

Very clever! Necessity is the mother of invention.

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.

Genius Ideal.

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

Absolutely brilliant idea carried through to production 👌

I TRYED Giving you the Thumbs UP !!! LAST VIDEO !! BUT they BLOCKED me !!

Love this

Great job. You have a very creative mind!

Freaking genius!

Short n sweet.

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

Cool idea!

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

Nice build, i have something i built similar to that, but that's next level! 👍👍

Great thinking.

Very nice

Work smarter, not harder!

Good video

I made a tool to remove and install the belly pump used a floor jack like yours but it cradles it

Easy!
