@green3488 i think having one in the fleet is enough haha We actually used to have a second one (an 09), but we sold it a few years back Yours is just getting broken in! Haha

@StaySlyh I just fixed mine having rough idle.. thought it had an exhaust leak where yours did, but it doesn't.

@StaySlyh Latest upgrades are new catalytic converter, upstream O2 sensor, E3 spark plugs, coil pack, cleaned EGR valve, dyed oil for leak detection, LED gauge cluster lights, slotted and drilled rotors, brake pads, brake bleed, and a lot more. Mine has a hitch, touch screen stereo, backup camera...

@@StaySlyh I'm interested in yours due to same exact color...

@green3488 sounds like yours should be good to go for another couple hundred thousand miles! One Aveo isn't enough for ya!? Haha

@green3488 lucky for us, we don't have emissions testing sooo ... not worries about cats!! 😀

@@StaySlyh Yeah, I'm thinking about doing cat delete and EGR delete too

@@green3488 i need to do something similar, but to our truck! Lol

@green3488 Yep, she's still going strong! We don't use it nearly as often anymore, but she's still in the fleet haha Hope yours has been as good to you as ours has to us!

LMAO

@HalJalikakik I'll be at dad's this coming weekend to tinker on the Challenger again lol Trust me, I tease him about it every chance I get too haha

@@StaySlyh awesome… can’t wait too see you guys cruising around in her!

@@HalJalikakik you and me both, brother!!

@@Hasdac1896 Good to see you too. It's been too long! Thank you for the kind words, and we hope you're well

@@StaySlyh been busy getting old and grey.😀 Hope you are well and your young lady is great too. How's the other young man who use to be on the channel? The drive looks good. Take care. ✋

@@Hasdac1896 getting old is better than the alternative, and the gray is a badge of honor! Haha We are well, thank you 😀 The other young man (my brother, Andrew) is actually making his own RUclips videos now! His channel is called "Slyh Life"

@@StaySlyh thanks for replying, good to know you are all well. I will go look for his channel now. See you soon hopefully 👍 take care all

@Hasdac1896 you too, hope to see you on the next one

@@JerryWood-zn8rg thanks! I believe we purchased it from Abilene Machine

@jamesward8244 thanks for the suggestion!

@@michaelextance1953 I'm fairly certain I still have it. Keep in mind that a bolt on one of the fingers in the pressure plate is broken Where are you located?

@@StaySlyh Thanks for the reply. I found a reasonable priced reman clutch. Much appreciated.

@michaelextance1953 absolutely, good luck on the project!

@@sherwanpedawi4320 I think we always use 5w-30

@christophermitchell8986 thanks for the comment! It's been about 2 yrs and the starter hasn't fallen off yet (knock on wood) haha. I have some high Ni MIG wire for welding cast iron, but it's expensive and I didn't think this old tractor warranted the fancy pants wire lol I'm familiar with the rope seals, but as you saw in the video, this tractor didn't have one. It just had a typical lip seal that we replaced Regardless, that seems like a terrible design to me. I can't see a reason to face those bolts the wrong direction. If it really was to "remind us" of something as you suggested, just make a dang casting mark and face the bolts the proper direction! 😆

Yeaahhh ... I need to edit some videos lol. I promise I'm still working on stuff, just haven't been editing 🙃

Are you determining this based off of the serial number? This has always been confusing to me ... I've never quite understood that time frame of his history. Especially since there are Massey, Harris, and Ferguson casting marks on the tractor lol Regardless, I appreciate the info!

Great info, thanks for the comment!

Certainly no shortage of em out in our neck of the woods lol Thank for you for the kind words! Our best to you as well 😀

Thanks! If i recall correctly, we had 2 vacuum leaks that caused our code. The intake manifold and the valve cover gasket

@@StaySlyh perfect happy to hear .your video give me more motivation to get into in and to get the parts ordered

@@dindafna good luck, I hope it goes smoothly for you!

Not sure if you're being genuine, or teasing ... but thanks for the comment regardless haha!

Nice eye! So there should be a cap/plate on that?? I feel like these old tractors aren't exactly Alcatraz, the mice are probably getting in from every which way LOL

I definitely have a soft spot for old iron! Lol

That's awesome, thank you so much for the kind words! I apologize there hasn't been much content on Nopar lately, but rest assured we ARE still working on it ... in fact, it's getting pretty close to drivable 😎 I hope you'll check out some of our other videos, we're no strangers to getting in over our heads LOL

Awesome! I hope she's got at least another 191k in her haha Good luck 😀

Merry Christmas! Funny how quickly "a few chickens" escalated lol And no kidding ... I mean, I like to have a good time (responsibly), but this guy had to have party plates hahaha

It's difficult to make time once you're married, you know how it goes! ... we're talking about motorcycles, right??

Hilarious ... LOL. Thanks for the comment, regardless of how facetious it might be haha

@@StaySlyh Gotta do my part for the algorithm

Yeah, forget Dogecoin ... "StaySlyh" to the moon hahaha

We'll call it an "investment" .... never claimed it was a good one! Lol Thanks for rubbing it in. Just wait until your wife starts asking for chickens ... its only a matter of time haha

PREACH! lol

Awesome, good luck! Unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly how long this took as it was 3ish years ago. I'm fairly confident we got it done in one day (definitely only 1 weekend). Regardless, make sure you have at least 6 beers ready, it's essential to the process lol

We have NOT abandonded it. I was living at Andrew's (my brother) house when we started this project. I have since moved out, and life started getting in the way of working on the bike (Andrew has kids now, I live like 30 minutes away, [insert any number of excuses here lol]). BUT, the bike is still in Andrew's shop, and maybe your comments are just what we need to reprioritize this old girl. As a matter of fact, ill text him today ... There WILL be future videos of Frankenchop - thanks for the comment!

Oh yes life does get in the way sometimes. Glad to hear you still have it. And hope to see a future video of Frankenchop.

Thanks! We need to just finish this project once and for all ... it kinda feel to the back burner, but maybe it's time to wrap it up haha

That's awesome to hear that you're local! And $100 challenge would be difficult, but fun haha Thanks for the comment!

I noticed your BC T-shirt in one of your Frankenchop videos. And maybe you are closer then I thought I live in that same school district I am only 8 minutes from the school. Looking forward for the wrap up to Frankenchop.

@@Manandmachine772 we went to BC, but neither of us live in that district anymore. Still in the area, but a little farther out these days haha!

Thanks Randal! More videos are coming soon!!

Good luck! I'm no expert, but feel free to reach out if you think I might be able to help. At the very least, I can try to answer questions! Haha

They're awesome old machines!

You may be right about that, I'm not sure. However, for as few hours as I put on this machine, I'm hopeful she'll keep purring like a kitten for many more years with just the lash adjustment I gave her - fingers crossed haha

Few hours/ light work no reason to do anything about it, think it s bundy bears shed that made a video on the subject, good luck.

Perhaps I misspoke. I think the idea is just that they would be at tdc at the same time. Presumably one on compression, and one on exhaust. BUT, idk ... I dont really know anything (as I'm sure you can tell by the videos on this channel lol)

I've always been confused by this era/serial range. How can you tell? I believe it would've been a "green belly" with Ferguson badging. I'm pretty sure the Fergs were "TO-35"s and the later MF tractors were red and called "MF-35". However, the serial plate and casting marks on my '51 and my '55 both say MHF (or Massey Harris Ferguson) Had he not moved production to the States by then? I've just never really understood this part of the story haha

The Challeneger is dad's nightmare, I just got swindled into helping (kidding haha) You're speaking my language. I'm a bow-tie believer, old (mostly small block) Chevy cars and square body trucks are more my speed. When it comes to bigger trucks that I'm actually trying to do work with, then Superduty all the way haha Brother had a 7.3 powerstroke, we have a 6.7 powerstroke. We love our 6.7, it's an awesome truck. BUT, I kinda hate all these new fangled diesels and emissions stuff. In the future, I plan to build an old tow pig. Maybe OBS Ford body and a DT466 out of a school bus or something? Idk, add it to the endless list of projects on my mind lol I appreciate the conversation and look forward to hearing from you on some of the other videos haha. Have a great day!

@@StaySlyh new diesels are boring, they have no soul, because you can't hear them. I'm big fanatic on the little mouse motors, had one in my 70 C10 from mid 60's vett, with camel 🐫 hump heads massaged with 202 valves. Nice mud range crane cam beehive double valve springs 030 so was little bigger than factory Mallory dual point distributor 750 dbl holley.. With Hayes super clutch muncie 4 speed m21 from 69 Z28 long wheel base, only it was no ps, pb, ac, just alternator and water pump. Painted fomoco blue, same as your tractor, and people use to trip out on me when I spit them out the headers. They be like what you have under the hood, and I would raise it up. They be like wt!%$÷!, because sitting in the huge engine compartment was this tiny little Ford blue motor just idling with a little lope to it, quietly through 3" exhaust and turbo mufflers. Never advertise to the local poopoo, that you're exceeding the posted numbers, because they can follow the noise you make. Yeah old truck was my baby for many years, and when you're young things like ac pb ps, electric windows none of it mattered back then, as long as you had decent stereo good speakers, and pretty much the ability to keep up with the high dollar builds, and smoke 9 outta the 10 on the road. But things aren't like they were in the 70's early 80's, because nowadays everyone has big money in the rides, turbos, nos, blowers. Running all motor tells what your capable of building H pattern tells that you are capable of making a 4 speed sound like an automatic, and that you have to have skills to leave the line without smoking the tires through the 2nd gear. Kinda like new diesels have no soul, nowadays most cars are trucks capable of going fast have no heart and soul to them Sure they're fast as they are, but it's like pro stock against hot rod street car, and whoever had it built doesn't have any of themselves in it, or even if they built it. Who has $10,000.00 dollars are more to put into a legitimate street car/truck, are even more for those buying factory built cars with 5, 6, 7 , 800 horsepower for $60,000. to hundred grand. Then they spend who knows how much money on bolt on are someone tuning it past maximum survivability, and they eat motors like some people do French fries you know. That's not the spirit of what it was all about, it was what you could piece together from here n there, and you and a buddy wife girlfriend busted your asses putting it all together over a weekend once you have all the pieces. Then when no one was around you laid into it with most all of what it had, because you didn't want to be embarrassed, kill yourself, or someone else when it got stupid going all over the road sideways. That's what it was all about when it came into the minds of those guys after the war, and they didn't have much money, but they knew stock was boring. Same way it was in the 60's when my neighbor let little kid nextdoor drive his 65 El Camino behind his 69 El Camino flat pulling it all over Dallas, Ft Worth, and anywhere there was someone lining up at red lights, flashlight starts for money. Then in the 70's I built mine, and my buddy built his 69 camaro another had 69 swb gmc with 396, cousin had 72 Cheyenne 402, another 67 Fairlane 390, and we'd go looking for races. Look up Forest Lane in N Dallas back in the 60's and 70's, that was some serious street hot rods all motor all good times back then. I think I was making $1.68 an hour, and I had apartment with two roommates drove hot rod pickup and we raced on the tires we drove on every day bias ply tires, L70 on the front 10" wheels, and N50 on the back 12" wheels on the back, and made by Dayton. No traction in the rain or on asphalt, concrete if you dropped the air down to 20 lbs, and we use to put concrete parking lot bumpers on the axle in the bed of our trucks to get traction, so even though we weighed more than most cars, we added couple hundred pounds to them to make them hookup. Carry the left front tires through first gear on motor small blocks big block it doesn't matter. 327 will walk away from big block because they rev so much faster and you get through the gears faster, they almost catch you at the line if you keep it up around your red line. Sorry I get carried away caught up in memories these days, and I've always had a problem with talking way too much about things that don't matter to anyone including myself I've been told. Your dad has a very nice ride, as do yourself from what I seen.. Have a Great Day and may Tomorrow be even Better for y'all

@@timothymilam732 hell yeah brother. I couldnt agree more, and I pray the true hot rod spirit will live on Thanks for sharing some of your stories, I'm sure there are many more where that came from! Haha

If I'm understanding correctly; yes, we did set the valve lash ... and tried to clean out as much sludge as possible from the top end haha Couldn't agree more about other people's opinions. However, I still always feel obligated to explain myself ... not sure why. Regardless, luckily the wife was happy with Ford blue (Mustang girl at heart lol) and not pink/purple haha. Not sure I'd be able to find pink/purple down at Rural King? Lol

​@@StaySlyhPS if you want to greatly improve the way these intake and exhaust manifolds work by reducing the heat soaked intake manifold. Build yourself a set of headres for exhaust and heat wrap the pipes, and then build a intake manifold that is separate from exhaust also wrapped with heat wrap. On the exhaust take it down and under footboard as it is. On the intake make individual runners like you did exhaust only take the individual pipes out from under the hood, and tie into a flange built to accept standard one barrel carburetor of your choice from the old straight 6's, and go with down flow setup, and do away with updraft BS. You lower the intake air temperature and you increase airflow you get free power that these engines have always had but couldn't supply it with what they were given to work with. You follow me, even if it's sticking above the hood on one side and looks funny to everyone else, they'll mess their diaper when you pull circles around them. Old skool tractor pulling trick from long ago, always meant to build me setup like it but never got around to it. But no different than improving the factory air cleaner set up and better exhaust, because combustion engine ain't nuthin but air pump air in should equal same air out and cold air is horsepower

Atf in crank case, are sea foam little at a time will clean sludge..but you don't want to hit it too hard, because it will block strainer on oil pump and your screwed then because it will do it slowly at first then a chunk will hit it and oil pressure will drop to nuthin before you get it shut down

@@timothymilam732 awesome tips, always nice to learn from the guys who have been tinkering longer than I've been alive! Haha

Man I'm sorry to hear it was a struggle for you too ... why is nothing ever easy? Lol Hats off to your perserverence, and thank goodness for helpers with smaller hands! Lol

Wow, thank you for all the incredible information! I know who I'll be reaching out to next time I get stuck on one of these old girls haha!

@@StaySlyh not a problem, and on #3, and I'm learning that you're pretty sharp minded young man, and either one of your elders spent some quality time with you while you were kid Not that you're very far past that stage now, LOL, but I'm probably your grand paws age, unless you're the youngest of a large family and your dad is in his 60's/days from being another nail in the calendar. Ain't those old tractors addictive, and if you have as many as I think you have, you're already addicted, but remember wives only go for so many, after a point they don't see the attraction you do. Also unless you have a really rare model, it literally doesn't matter how much money time, are how good you can make one look. They're just money spent because you enjoy doing what you do to them, because no one will ever cover the cost of parts alone if you want to sell one. As you've learned they aren't any cheap old new tractor parts and the used parts aren't cheap either. I bought a magnetic base for a dail indicator to actually tell when the valves moved that helps greatly in setting the lash, and a compression gauge to get the stroke correct on the power stroke on each set of valves as they go through the firing order

@@timothymilam732 hahaha well thank you for the kind words! I grew up with dad running a '43 Ford 2n (that is actually sitting behind our house now awaiting a 12v conversion) I'm lucky that the wife seems to have a similar interest in old iron, albeit not to the extent that I've "caught the bug". She's only really given me guff for one machine ('65 International T-340 dozer - future video on the channel). But, in my defense, SHE is the one that found that listing and showed it to me! Haha Good idea with the dial indicator/compression gauge!

Thanks for the kind words! Hope the video helps and good luck!

Thanks, hope it was helpful!

Love it! Nothing a little trampoline frame tubing can't fix ... or a "borrowed" piece of exhaust off your brother's project car lol

Hahaha they seem to show up everywhere you don't want them lol

Thanks for the comment! Good luck on your project

Right you are! A "green belly" I believe it was called haha. Thanks for the comment!
