Aaron, the alternator puts out ac voltage. Put your meter on ac voltage. The regulator/rectifier turns it to dc voltage. You should have two wires from alternator with ac voltage going into regulator plug and one 12 volt dc coming out of regulator to battery circuit. Make sure that regulator is grounded in mounting. In other words clean mounting.

Aaron is totally correct buying an older tractor. The pricing on new stuff even before the recent inflation is insane. Also he is correct on the older mechanical pump style tractors. Easier to work on, not choked off by egr and other emissions devices and computer control. Also the older stuff is built heavier in a lot of cases and will hold up longer than most of us will be here. You are married to a VERY talented man and should be really proud. He is also willing to say when he's not sure and needs to learn and research. Enjoying the videos as always. Keep enjoying life and one another.

FYI when Aaron is snacking on them, they are called Reeves-ses peanut butter cups hahahaha love ya Dream Reevers

Im.with aaron I will never buy anything new it's so nice to be able to work on the stuff we own. And it so nice to see Aaron coming back strong!!!!

i love watching people struggling with tractor tires

Another neat episode with Aaron jokes included for free. The close up shots of engine work with your camera were crystal clear and helped to give a better understanding of what Aaron was explaining. You both work so great together and having young people included was a good bonus. Just pure entertainment.

There we go! That’s the Arron I think of, so awesome watching him swing that hammer!!!! So happy that you have healed up so well and your recovery has come so far. Good to see you in your strength again 💪🏻👍🏻

Arron had a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face when the word Tractor was said. Lovin it! 😍😎

Aaron, weld up a double U bracket that fits between one end of the draw bar and a lift arm that keeps the draw bar from rotating in the lift arm swivel balls. Otherwise when you pull a trailer with a ball hitch, the draw bar will rotate and put tremendous prying force on the hitch lock.

Saw a video, that a guy had trouble keeping his camera stable. He made a hat for a chicken and mounted his camera on that, even flying in a boat the camera stayed stable. Lol guess the chicken had built in stableizing muscle in its neck, sounds crazy but it worked for him.

Just as long as we can see yall's beautiful faces and keep pumping out great content, all gearheads can relate to anything no matter the video quality.

Regarding stabilization on the Sony I think you’ll find a lot of people use a gimbal with those cameras to increase stability vs say a Lumix camera (and iPhone for that matter) which have better stability from the start. That said, the Sony is still a lovely camera 🤓

Man that was InTents..... Lmao, I was just thinking how I would have smashed the rim twice already , then he hits it. We used to put a 4x6 post on it then drive a truck up on the post.

From an old man,you should have used a cut off wheel to cut the bead on the tire,it makes it a lot easier to get crusty old tires off.

Just watched part 1 n 2.30 minutes ago, browsed for a part 3 and nothing. 2 minutes later this was uploaded. What in the world??? Thank you for your mega quick customer service.

The two blue wires off the alternator are AC not DC. The box isn’t a regulator, but a rectifier that converts AC to DC. Sooooooo you can see if you have AC on the blue wires without the rectifier. If so your alternator is good, then check your rectifier wiring as it might not be the same.

What also helps is watching all the ads the whole way through for greater ad revenue. I do it. Then again, I was a 70's child, we had no choice but to watch the commercials.

Lookin' pretty spiffy, he cleaned up good. Nice job.

Same here I love the older equipment its way more durable, dependable and easier to work on.

Aaron's sense of humour is on point 👌 as a brit i very much appreciate the dry humour 😂😂

It's so neat seeing Aaron back working strong and getting better as he goes on in his recovery. You both are looking really good with your lifestyle changes. I don’t want to say that you glow, but your color is richer. Good stuff in makes for a good looking outside. I like the pump attachment. It sure made filling the tire easier.

I want to make a suggestion. Find a convenient location next to your work area and dig a square hole about 16” WX 16” W X 3’ deep and place 4”X4” form in the center. The 4X4 honey hole is so a 2/4 post will fit. Be sure to put reinforcements wire in and fill with concrete. This is great for all kind of uses, like work table, umbrellas and yes even a tire changer tool.LOL

Then the bear again, then a picture of a tent, then a picture of Joe dirt. Then a pick of two guys sitting down across a tiny table. One older man with gray hair and one younger man with black hair.

27 minutes is when I break out the sawzall on any tire older than 10 years. Also, your trailer jack is a great bead breaker on those heavy tires.

love your channel and all your projects , and Aaron's sense of humor is on point.

I agree with you on fixing up the older JD, it's a classic and needs to be in service. I could really relate with you guys when you were taking the tire off the rim. My JD is smaller than yours and I really struggled when I changed both of my front tires. I was on my own and it was really hard on my spirituality! 🙃 I am sure that tractor will serve you well for many years to come. Thanks for taking us along.

Dawn duck soap - "for a Deere", made me laugh.😅

The thing about the people you see buying these older tractors is a lot of them actually have enough saved to buy a new tractor, and it’s these kinds of decisions that got them there. When you see people with all the new tractors and trucks everywhere that’s when you know they’re spending everything they make trying to keep up with all of their monthly payments. Always think long term, if you can’t buy it you don’t need it.

Awesome blog as usual, and you guys are far from getting old. I am 68 and when I walk I snap crackle and pop like a bowl of rice crispies. Love you guys. You guys are doing an awesome job with the camera.

Forget the cameras just keep making your videos. All will come together in time. 🙏🙏

I started working at a gas station that was also the Farm Bureau store at the age of 14. We sold a lot of tires, batteries, etc, and doing a full size tractor tire is no joke, filled with water would add 400 lbs per tire.

You need to shine juice that old Coke cooler next !

Please let the kid know that we wish her a happy birthday with many more to come.

Perfectly imperfect…. That’s the entire theme of my new build 😂 Tagged ya on it on IG.

That’s exactly the reason I have my old Kubota. Wanted one like grandpas, and same with my old school Toyota 4x4 pickup

I love it! “I’ve got to get some more knowledge in my brain” Love the videos, thank you.

Hey thanks for the video. When you fill the tires you should put the valve stem at 2 clock and fill it then put the valve stem at 12 then air it up

To be honest I like the camera too the pictures better just being honest I still love y'all's videos

Can't tell you how much I enjoyed you guys and the tractor tire. Watched it three times. Pure enjoyment

I have been watching Vice Grip Garage for Years and believe Aaron is right. It should do burnouts after applying Shine Juice. LOL

Done quite a few tractor tires on the farm, all hydroflated. I use the garden hose and my well pump a hose Y , a 1/4 " plastic hose, it slips over the tire valve stem, and a gas line clamp to keep it on the stem , a female hose connector on the other end. I have the pump on the hose Y supply , when the tire is tight with air, I shut off the pump, open the free Y connector to evacuate the air . Of course the tire valve at the highest point. Using antifreeze instead of calcium chloride sounds smart, it could get expensive with large tires. I hydroflate both fronts too.

Your niece Emily has grown up so much since the First videos and you could just tell she's very very polite and she's a good kid

The Sony camera. But like all things in live. What best work for you

Could have used your 2 post lift to push the tyre down to break the bead mate, good job!

Thank you both - you all work hard but truly enjoy each other and it comes through. So years ago, helping swap a tractor tire......we're trying to get the new tire on and I thought, "If I step on the inside of the tire, that'll push it onto the wheel". It worked, of course my foot was caught like a bear in a trap! 😂. Thanks for bringing us along ~ Chuck

Try this hack for breaking tire beads line up the edge of the bed and lower your car lift down onto the tire it will separate it from the eim . I have used this hack several times and it works excellent

Check your fuse block it's self

All I care about is audio quality and yours is great

Emily you are a trooper helping with the tire take off you are such a gem

Well I can tell which piece of equipment will be showing up in the shop next and that’ll be one of those tire breakdown rigs, I was watching this and thinking yup there goes Aaron’s back, luckily that wasn’t the case. The tractor turned out nice with the shine juice, and as others have mentioned it’s not bad having old stuff as long as it’s well maintained old stuff.

I agree with you on tractor not knocking, people need to know what they are talking about before saying anything

The kid's 'for a deere' pun had me rollin. Tractor is coming along awesome! I'd never heard of putting antifreeze in the tires, cool idea!

RE: Bronco: “It’s just a tool to me’ …she is a pretty “tool”. Us men have lots of “tools that are pretty” 😉…which makes us one of the most worthless tools 🤣. Love the tractor videos…many of us can relate to memories and roots originating from farming and the implements with being on the farm or with grandparents. The first tractor my older brother drove was a Ford 9N…mine was an Oliver 880 but that was only a loaner while the Oliver 770 was getting some service that we didn’t have time for in the middle of wheat/oat harvest and baling. Our run around utility tractor was a Farmal H…so that was the one ran most often when younger even though not the most hours on. So a Farmall and Oliver are connected to me and I almost despise a 9N (must just be the older sibling thing lol)…speaking to the small loader tractor…I remember the day we picked up the first skid steer on the far…it was a game changer and the loader after that had multiple seasons of not even being attached.

Now you need to Wire Brush the interior of that wheel, make sure the bead is smooth and clean, big pita changing one of those!

That nice lift and a 6×6 block of wood could really help you with tire mounting and dismounting!

So what I love about your channel, and I hope it reaches young audiences, it your and Arron’s relationship. You are basically the couple that people dream of from a young age.

Getting kids involved now will help them immeasurably when they are older. Fantastic.

The John Deere historical site in Grand Detour Illinois where in 1836 he built his blacksmith shed. He built many items, and the first steel plow there. ps. Byron Dragstrip is just up the road.👍✌️❤️ you guys.

You need to give the 2 XL shirt size viewers a call when you go tires we can sit on the tires for you. You guys do a nice job of working together props to you both

She looks brand new used the old John Deere looks brand new it looks good guys y'all did a good job

Looks great guys!! Always nice to have something you can actually work on.

Talk about an awesome personal garage. You're working on a 1982 Deere while in the background on the corner of a bench sits a bright shiny BDS Blower! Thats what I call being versatile. You all rock.

Definitely like the Sony images

thank you for the deere talk and trouble shooting guidelines. Way to go

Tractor Supply. Where you can buy everything except an actual tractor (lawnmowers don't count).

I'm pretty sure that poor little deer never had so much tlc as with you guys ! 😂 This video was FUN !

I like the camera myself. Loved the video as usual. Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving and a merry Christmas.

Dang that probably added 2000 dollars to the value

When she steps over to kick it.....hilarious

Very happy to see you both in the shop and enjoying the work. I was raised from a young age fixing and repairing things myself. Thank you for sharing all yourknowledge. From one fellow Texan to another. Love you guys

I have a 950. Great tractor. Super reliable and easy to wrench on

Fun video to watch..Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like the way you changed the tire next time use dish soap on the bead to dismount the tire i use it all the time it works

Hi guys great tractor you have to unplug alternator then test ac out put if memory serve me should be around 30. Usually it the regulator if you remove it and it bad you should see where it got hot through the epoxy on the back side.

Great job y'all!! I used to have a JD 750 I have the technical manual for both the 650/750. If you want I can send it to you guy's. Just let me know.

Yaaaaaaaa buddy. Aron you da man lmao seriously the injector noise is bang on! 😜 all the peeps bitchin have no clue 🤘🏼😂🤘🏼

The people who think this Yanmar diesel is knocking, need to sit next to a Detroit 6.2 for a few minutes. Great to see you all!!!

You guys did a great job on the tractor looks so good it's fun to take something off and make it look good again

Love the tractor content.

The tractor looks great! I also bought an older John Deere tractor/ lawn mower as I got injured at work and needed to ride rather than push a lawn mower. Couple problems with it, figured them out and it is back working. Have a great holiday and looking forward to more episodes!

Emily!! Two questions: What's up with the grill/bumber being off the black Ford - what'cha doing to it? AND - What is your pressure washer, is that thing electric?? Love all the Tractor episodes!!!

Love the video and love you guys! Thanks for the video!

What a great job ! Going to try that with my 650 perhaps..

Using the duck soap on the deer. That was so cool😊

When Aaron was hitting the tire with the sledge hammer truing to beat the tire off the rim what wat the picture of the cartoonish bear about? It was nice to see Aaron and you working together. It’s always nice seeing you and the family together as well with Aaron!

That was fun , good work you guys

First thing is with everything plugged up does the charge light come on? If not you have a power feed problem to regulator or bad ground. With everything plugged up there should be bat voltage at the red and yellow and green wire at the regulator. Black is ground and the blues and blue/white go to alt/gen. The light in dash is fed power when not charging thru the green wire. Pretty simple circuit, test for power at the yellow and the red and make sure you have good ground on the black. Prob a bad power feed to the yellow, it comes thru fuse. The red is from a fuse link I believe. Just use a test light to check. Hook it to positive on battery and touch the black wire, if it lights it’s all good there. Hook test light to neg batt terminal and with key on touch red and then yellow. It should light both times. Green should light also when not charging. Fix any missing power feeds or the ground and it should work. The charge light is a main focus, it it doesn’t light key on engine off you have a issue with power or ground to the regulator as long as bulb is good of course.

Went for a ride on my buddy's fishing boat. When he fired it up, the coffee can that protected the exhaust pipe shot straight up and came down to hit me in the head. I think it was a welcoming tradition. ;-)

Wow looks real good, to bad about that rusted tail pipe...lol great job...

If using the drawdar on the 3 point for trailering applications, it would be wise to build a simple arch to connect the top link for stabilization. Drawing off of the 3 point drastically changes the leverage point and increases the likelyhood of rear upset. Use extreme caution and never on inclines with weight or speed!

You might want to rotate your muffler flapper 180°so it stays down when/if you have to trailer it anywhere . Did you have to replace any grease zerts? They can be alot of fun to get too. So stand back and let the kids do the greasing!!

2 tire irons make tire mounting and dismounting much easier than regular pry bars.

A few years ago I bought a John Deere 430 Garden tractor with a 3 cylinder Yanmar engine to restore. It was from 1984 too and I cut about about a million acres of grass through High School at an amusement park on a John Deere 318, So I always loved them. I took my 430 far enough apart to replace seals and hydraulic hoses brakes, belts, clutches etc, I know there was more. and after I drove all over the state of Kansas sourcing parts (I wanted it original) I painted and powder coated everything and replaced tires. I put an original sticker kit back on it and it was done. I really wanted a front end loader and that;s the only thing I never found, at least worth buying and I had a purpose for one when I started. I sed it for a while on a few things and eventually sold it. I went to John Deere and looked at some of their 20 hp tractors with loaders and they were $21k plus another thousand for taxes. I almost pulled the trigger and am so glad I didn't. I went the N Korean route! I think every single one comparable had way higher capacity and no aluminum transmissions and read differentials. All cast. I ended up buying a TYM T 264, 24.8 hp 4x4 front end loader and I needed a tiller. It has a Kukje engine which almost quashed the deal just hearing the name. Turns out made by Cummins since 1954 ish and the fuel system is ALL mechanical. I pulled the trigger and all in it was $18k's including tax. So far I LOVE it and i tried to stay loyal and American and all that, but they were just to proud of a lesser product. Oh and I think the warranty on everything is 7 years. Good video, first time viewer!

Happy 12th birthday to the Kid!

For tracing vehicle wiring problems a power probe wire tracer is very nice. Model# ECT3000 Also the power probe 4 is dandy

Gee wiz that clear coat product worked a treat. Great work guy’s

I would spray the whole exhaust black......and it will look like new and prevent it from rusting

I believe that the alternator needs to have the field excited usually with a small load or a small lamp like an alternator light perhaps try chasing that down.

I used to work for John Deere years ago and have fixed many hydraulic cylinders and 95% of the time it's just needs an o ring kit. Which consists of plastic and rubber o rings. You can easily fix it yourself. There is no need to pay the extra money by ordering a new piston.

I'm 72 now and I love old Tractors. Grew up on a farm using old tractors. We still have our 1st tractor. A 1946 Farm All Cub and it still runs. And we crank it with the old hand crank.
