Birch trees. You must be north ?
Yes sir, northern WI
Saw your tractor in the parade, and pulling the disk laat year. Thanks.
That was a fun time last year! Unfortunately I couldn't make Hutch this year. I plan to be back next year though! If you see me, be sure to come introduce yourself and say hi!
There was one 6-12 , and the Twin engine There this year. Not much for field demonstrations on account of wet field conditions. I posted some video of your disk in operation. Thanks Jacob.
@@brycewiborg8095 Actually there were three 6-12's there this year. Dave had his Duplex Replica there, Roger had his 6-12 there, and Norm had his 6-12 there too. I'll have to go check out your channel and see if I can find the videos of me out in the field last year, thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for keeping us informed. Sorry I'm late seeing this but surgery happened. Anyway I'm praying that it all works out to your advantage. And I hope to hear from you soon.
thank you for the update, i have been wondering how things were going for you. it is a very exciting time, lots of challenges but still exciting. i look forward to seeing this next chapter unfold
I have been wondering how things were going with your move. Glad to see things moving (literally). We will miss you at Orange Spectacular. Good luck.
Well sucks you are leaving our great state. I should be in Crosby.
If you see me, come say hi!
Thanks for the update. Wish you the best
What about your job? Do you have any offers.
It is looking like Modern Woodworks will be no longer. There has been no serious interest in the business, so tools and building will be sold. As for my new job, I have a couple opportunities lined up. More on that when it's all official.
Thank you for the update! Really miss your videos but glad that things are working out ! We can’t wait till you are making new videos on a regular basis…
Good to see you glad you’re doing well. Good luck on the move. They’re never any fun well wishes in your new endeavors. And can’t wait to see you settled in back into videos and working on the tractor again.
Big ground lift plows 4 bottom & bigger bring good money if decent
Hope you’re doing well and the family is well. Just wanted to let you know we miss you.
Bles you on your adventures! We find out way! Glad I stopped in.
Move to Maryland, I can find plenty paying work and plenty of tractor therapy 😃 I wish you well in the next chapter.
Thanks Dave, it will be nice when I can get back to "tractor therapy"
Jacob I wish you all the very best and hope that in the coming weeks and months things become clearer for you. You are an inspiration to many of us. I certainly don't envy you having to pack up the garage and move it all, but the new shop being bigger will be worth it all. I agree that keeping your hobby away from your source of income will keep it enjoyable and a good release from the day to day grind. Take the time you need, hopefully some of us viewers can fill the restoration void and provide you with the motivation and knowledge you have provided all of us.
Thanks Travis
“The next shop will be bigger.” Seems like a solid plan to me! Good luck with your move and big changes!
Thanks Blake!
That’s a lot of change in a short amount of time, Jacob. Good luck! I’m sure it will all work out for the best!
Thanks Madison, Yes, lot's of change indeed! Little more than I was planning on, but go big or go home I guess. Looks like you have been making some progress on your 20-35, maybe you'll have to start making some videos to fill the lack of Allis content on RUclips right now.
This will work out for you Jacob. It will be good to have you back in Wisconsin. Be patient and best of luck to you.
Thank you
Every end is a new beginning.
Yes, and this feels like and end of an era to me for sure.
Well, I was just about to call your dad to find out where you were. I've missed seeing your weekly videos. Possibly your degree will come into play upon return to Ashland. You have great talents and skill in what you do. Nothing shabby about your work. Good luck in whatever you decide to do, Jacob. Look forward to seeing you in Ashland.
Thanks Lynn, I'm missing "tractor time" just as much as you. Something to look forward to I guess.
Good luck, Jacob. I'm somewhat in that same boat of life changes. Currently, I'm traveling to see where I want to move to. My folks both passed away, and my siblings are dead to me. I've got 1 cousin in Illinois, and all the rest are scattered around the US. My ancestors all moved to the states prior to 1855 without knowing what they would find here, so why can't I travel to find a new life as well. Good luck, brother. I'm anxious for the tractor therapy of my own as well. My best advice for you is organization, organization, organization. Keep in mind first order retrievability so when you need something, you know exactly where to go to get it. Every minute spent organizing will save days if not weeks in the future. It's been 8 years this coming November when I broke my leg. Since then it's been nothing but recovery from the break, amputation, more amputations, heart attack, moves, etc. I can barely find my butt with both hands now. I'm not complaining, just stating facts on what can happen. Plus with the organization, you can discipline yourself for this the rest if your life. I didn't and now I feel it will take me another 5-10 years to just be back where I was 8 years ago. Only with a lot less stuff.
Thanks Steve. When I got the news, I knew immediately that I wanted to move back home to WI, so that decision was easy. I like your bravery to travel and see the country for yourself to decide where to go. The rest of my life decisions, are not going to be so easy. Yes, organization is key! The next shop will be organized. It may not look like it, but I like to think I have a very organized shop, it is just so full because of the lack of space that it does not look like it.
@JacobASwanson when in my old place, I liked to call it organized chaos. Nobody could find a thing, yet I knew where everything was. Though I did have a few surprises...lol. My pet peeve was my tool organization. That's how I made my living and needed to put my hand on the right tool immediately. Now it's all packed in a 10' x 20' locker that I can't find anything in...lol. The next shop will have a spot for each tractor with pallet racking behind it for all the components for that tractor. It was horrible trying to locate parts in 3-4 buildings, in the tractor graveyard, and in different tool boxes. And for the price, used Lista style cabinets will be used for consumables while color coded tool boxes used for different tooling. Red for SAE, blue for MM, natural gas is yellow, water a so blue, etc.
I truly hope and pray the Lord works everything out for you quickly! I’m really glad you are planning on continuing the channel I absolutely look forward to your videos! You have talent for not only restoring but making educational/entertaining content! Thank you for the update .
Thank you, I am very much looking forward to getting back to "tractor time" but it is going to be a while. Something to look forward to I guess.
I'm looking forward to seeing a new video to update this project. I know that the weather has been nasty but I'm hopeful that you are able to get some progress. This old technology really intrigues me.
It’s amazing how the older I get the more the older Allis tractors appeal to me. Norm is a close family friend of ours. I picked up a 1930 U and he’s been doing the engine. Engine should be done here shortly. I’m already on the hunt for a 20-35.
That is exciting Austin! The old AC's are addicting, once you have one, you are going to want them all! Keep me updated on your U.
Look forward to seeing you getting it running. Was a cringe watching those pallet tines woefully close to that verrrrrrrry precious radiator core though.😮😮 Regards from the 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Oh yeah, I was being VERY careful to not put a fork through the radiator, very careful indeed!
i have had some success with lapping gas taps, start with fine valve grinding paste then tooth paste to finish. i have an old concrete mixer, welded 4 chain links to the outside of the barrel, tie the fuel tank on with a couple of rachet binders, a hand full of nuts and a cup of Diesel and let it rumble away. the beauty of the mixer is that you can change the angles so as to have the nut rub across all the surfaces
Perhaps ez turn lubricant? A polyester paste used sparingly MAY help with weepy shut off valves. Aviation fuel valve lube. 2902LUB at langs T parts. A tube lasts a lifetime. Some say soap dish snot will do it also. I dunno.
Have you tried using lapping compound on the shutoff valves? I think you can get it in various grits so you could use a vary fine grit to finish that valve.
I hope you dont take too many parts of the parts tractor, I might need them!!!!
Good video, Jacob. Re the radiator alignment. It might be that the angle bracket is located correctly to the frame. but the holes that the radiator base mounts through are the ones that are off. If you take those bolts out, the radiator should be able to slide back on the right side (with the bolts on the left side loosened) and then after the holes have been correctly located, there will be clearance to re-install the upside-down bolts in front that have otherwise hit the frame. This incorrect location of the radiator would also explain the wear in the down-tube. With the radiator set in the right position, the down-tube could be straightened and clear the rearmost part of the angle bracket as original. gatz
I've got a few Hart Parrs myself.
What do you have?
Excellent job,i like your approach.
thanks for showing this, is that your 20-35 SF?? running very sweetly
That sure is my 20-35 Glenn. You can't really tell, but it actually wasn't running super well, the governor and/or carb was acting up. Would not respond to throttle quadrant control changes immediately, or the governor would not respond when it should. It was acting like there was a sticky linkage somewhere, but I'm pretty confident there is not. I'm not sure why it is acting up either, the governor was all gone through when we rebuilt the tractor, as was the carb. I played with the carb butterfly spring at the show to no change. I'm thinking it is governor related, but not sure what could have gone wrong. Any ideas welcome.
Very nice Jacob. Its been a long time since I've been to a show so nice seeing the old iron turning the equipment.
I love it very cool how you brought it back to life
It is very rewarding bringing a dead machine back to life, thanks!
good work mate, a very nice machine. makes a 20-35 sound like a swiss watch!!
yeah, these two cylinders are a horse of a different color
Is there any need to go right through the tractor and paint it , I get making sure it's mechanically spot on but wouldn't it look nice with a coat of oil in its working clothes ? Any way its totally owners choice I respect that and good luck with it
Yes, for now it will be a "fix things as necessary" kind of tractor. Someday when I have time and have a few current projects done this Hart Parr will get a proper paint and full mechanical restoration, but for now we will just enjoy it! I personally stay away from oiling them down, that just makes it that much harder to clean up when it comes time for paint. Remember, cast and steel is porous, if you dump oil on it, you will need to clean it all back out before paint....
That's true about the porous ,when I cover mine in oil it's because I keep them in their working clothes but make them mechanically right, Do you paint all your tractors ? Iam definitely not criticising you just interested Thans Dale
@@daleedwards363 No, I don't paint them all. If you watch a couple videos back the Northern Aged Iron show, that is my 20-35 Allis that we rebuilt entirely mechanically, but left it all rusty and original on the outside.
Excellent job. I've got a few hart parrs and love these tractors.
Nice! Do you have an 18-36?
There it is! The test drive!
Loads of fun!
That does sound great
Thanks
The Allis’ are starting to feel neglected ☺️
Yeah I know... Soon as the weather turns I'll be back on the 15-25's. Maybe even sooner.
How you making out on the engine rebuild? Got a 1961 H3 #1831. Just put new wiring harness in and generator. Then we did positive ground electronic ignition. Best I've heard it run. Getting it put back together - gas tank, panels, etc. in next while and will be running it some.
This project has not made it far. It is Dad's machine, so it is ultimately up to him to make progress, and he has too many other irons in the fire.
Awesome love it!!
Thanks
That old girl sounds great!
i wish you had a better one, then i could have that one 😎😎 very nice 👍👍👍
very nice, especially with the family connection. They are quite cute and it is in fantastic condition, good work mate
She's not far from wanting to start. That's something. I'm looking forward to hearing the beastie run. And learning with you along the way.
Did you prime it a bit through the pet cocks. Rings are probably siezed from sitting so long. Once she runs they will loosen up.
I don't hear it hissing out the pet cocks while you crank it.
I can see why you added a non Allis to your collection, something with such family history is great to retain. Better yet I can see this tractor will be up and running in new condition given the time and effort you put into your projects.
