Could not do that..... I would have to be restrained to NOT get my hands dirty working on it with these guys. There is 2 engine shops (one only builds fresh motors).

Same bro, I wish I could have had some of these moments with my father, even just a couple of minutes to show him how far I've come. You truly don't know what you have till its gone 😔.

Likewise I am 70 now and remember very fondly sitting straddle to a brake backing plate on a 55 Buick Special working on brakes with dad at probably 11-12 years old. My dad and my electrical master (another Godly influence) shaped my life to be a man that pursues excellence in my personal life, my work and trade. These folks are a great family and show the tight knit family relationship that makes our country the best. God bless this wonderful family. The tractor is way cool, the outcome was great and I enjoyed the comments and the video!

What cubic inch is that tractor engine.

Been wrenching for years…always wondered about using a dial indicator for valves. The old IH 6 cylinder engines wear the rockers funny to the point you really have a hard time getting them set right with a feeler gauge. Gonna give this a try!

It works great, with a well worn rocker pad where a feeler gauge really can't give an accurate setting.

I am pretty sure it has emissions.

@@PhilipMarroni 74 diesel tractor? Doubt that very much. Worries me the ultra low sulfer in today's diesel has no lubricity that engine needs. An additive to the fuel is needed.

@@happydays8171 y'all are happy it has no emissions system but what we're trying to point out is that thing is definitely spewing chemicals into the air. i don't miss the days where everyone was down 20iq because we had no choice but to breathe lead

@@oldfag_adventures I get what you're saying. As a truck driver, I used to get stuck behind a Mack just spewing out the black smoke, I'd roll up my windows until it came in thru the heater vents. But we've gone too far. 15ppm sulfur diesel has no lubricity, and is prone to algae and microbiological growth. 500ppm was just right, we should go back to that.

@@happydays8171 you can get an additive to bring the lubricity back up. idk what to say honestly because i think diesels are useful and a mechanical marvel but i think they should be restricted to commercial use. just like how the common-man shouldn't have access to radioactive materials i think the common-man shouldn't be allowed diesel toys, at least until we find a way to fix the damage they do. it's our job to take care of the area we inhabit, otherwise it will become inhospitable to us. in my eyes it's only self preservation to put away the toys until the problem caused by them is fixed. some people are selfish and don't think about how their actions affect others because there's not a direct result. it's not like diesels are going around shooting people, but with a flock or two of them you can make it harder to breathe for some people and that's something no one should have the right to take from you.

No that's just romanticizing the past. Modern tractors can do 100x the work in the same period of time.

@@enermaxstephens1051 Just return it to dealer for ALL REPAIRS !!!

@@georgepruitt637 True that has to go, but aside from that modern tractors are far superior.

@@enermaxstephens1051 As a "farm machinery mechanic "for 40 yrs, No, they are not.

@@georgepruitt637 You're going to have to show me the old one that can keep up with the new one in terms of performance. I can harvest much more and do much more work with the new ones. There's a reason we don't use those anymore, they sit in the barn. The only advantage the old ones have is that you can work on them.

That's hilarious, just talking about yourself right off the bat "I'm a blah blah blah and some MORE stuff about me"

precision is a key thing, especially with stuff like internals of machinery, or in your case, the internals of a gun, like the trigger mechanism and recoil assembly.

as a suggestion you would like ‘Cutting Edge Engineering Australia’ now thats a guy that knows his stuff

I’ve built a lot of smaller gas engines, and I’ve never heard of the wrist pin boring. Usually the rods either had no bushings, or they were just replaced.

I love to watch people who are experts in what they do. One question I have is that you didn't show any work on the fuel system. An engine that would have run that many hours to show the kind of wear your's showed would definitely had enough wear in the injectors and pump to warrant a rebuild or replacement of those parts, but you didn't mention that.

@@tomrogers9467 Almost all diesel engines have wristpin bushing and they come slightly undersize to allow for finish machining after pressing into the rod.

Well done guys !!!

@@brucejones2354 The engine had run hot, I don't think it was the hours.

If you learned to be a machinist you can learn to rebuild engines I promise you. I learned how to run a CNC Machine when I was going to school to be a machine tool technology and it was a lot harder to learn than rebuilding engines. Of course I did grow up building engines so I might be a little biased.

@@shatteredreality1987 I’m very familiar with automotive engine work and did a lot of it as a machinist for Holman & Moody racing in the sixties. Automotive dovetails well with regular machinist work and is easier to learn as you mentioned. My career began in the fifties with tool and die design and build from sixties to now. Last twenty five years since retirement in my own one man shop.

@@ellieprice363 wow!! Holman Moody has a magical sound to it. Did you work on the Le Mans Ford GTs? You could probably tell an amazing story yourself!

@@deedeeko9 No, my time with Holman/Moody was a few years before the LeMans cars but I know their history and successes. I machined parts and helped build engines for Fred Lorensen, the Wood Brothers, Fireball Robert’s, Curtis Turner, and many others. John’s son Lee, now owner and president of Holman/Moody, was a teenager when I was there in 1961. Ford versus Ferrari is one of my favorite movies and I’ve watched it several times. John ran the shop and Ralph was the engineer and former racer. Joe Rump was the camshaft grinder and Herb Nab was the setup man and crew chief. A lot has changed since those early years. I was there when Fred put Curtis in the wall on the last lap and won the Rebel 300 in the summer of’61. Curtis was so angry he wrecked Fred on the cool down lap. Nelson Stacy won the Southern 500 that year. Lots of good memories of those times.

@@shatteredreality1987 Enignes are really easy if you ask me. Although I only tare down and put back togetrher.

Yep,being OCD as a engine builder can only make a smoother running longer lasting engine. That 426 cu in Allis engine was a great engine

Good information!

@@kevinmccune9324 I did alot of research recently on the subject, it turns out during the war periods in the 40s, korean war and even part of vietnam the same thing happened, most pistons were being made from 100 series cast (A lower grade than even a cast wheel). Its expansion rate was pretty nuts, about .002 per inch per 100C. That meant in most Farmall and Allis tractors of the period nearly all of them had very loose pistons. They also had keystone style rings, I'm not exactly sure what that means I am guessing that's a ring type that prevents heavy gouging of the wall. My grandfather had even more information. He said back in the day, the books for these engines had "stock piston" boring information, and that at the time the rebuilder piston, ring and sleeve manufacturers often set their own bore spec because the pistons would be made of a different material. We've had a WD45 Diesel I've used for over twenty two years and my grandfather used for forty or more. I rebuilt the engine two years ago, originally made in 1955 as a 56 model, so it would have been a Korean war machine. In fact my grandfather bought it brand new for HIS father to use as a cultivator when he got back from the war. The kit I used has modern pistons, sleeves, the whole thing including modern tri metal bearings. Our 4066r and the wd have roughly the same pto horsepower and the wd uses only a gallon an hour to run the brush mower. The 4066r is easily more than twice that. Just shows you why the old stuff is still viable and worth the money.

@@blackopsrocks Back in the day my brother tried to buy a diesel WD45 off of a farmer( think it was in pieces) for some reason couldn't make the deal,Dad used one at a farm He was manager of, He claimed the Diesel had enough torque to ruin the tires if it was really fouled. My Uncle had a gas 45 he used a lot the old 45 would actually pull a 3 bottom plow in this ground, something happened to it and my brother rebuilt it for Him, the old pistons had been knurled. My brother finally ended up with an old 45( gas) if memory serves me correctly the old Diesel engine and gas engine had the same displacement, some old "Cubs" had cast iron pistons, nice to hear from someone who has had experience with old AllisChalmers, my brother had this huge book on the History of Allis Chalmers, how they went from riches to Rags, they used to dabble in a lot of things, once upon a time even turboprop engines, the book listed a test bed B29 that had the Allis turboprop grafted to the nose of the aircraft for testing purposes, it had enough power to drag the aircraft along with the 4 main engines shut off, the current worlds largest pumped storage facility very close to here has 6 Allis turbines for generation-Kevin

@@kevinmccune9324 fantastic hearing from another ac fan btw.

@@blackopsrocks Thank you

Might be worth shipping it there knowing it will be done RIGHT.

Nice "tips of experience" there..

Our 66 and 86 series internationals all have coolant filters with the conditioner pellets in them.

Keep a log book.
