Thanks Nelson! It's not the most elegant but it works. Those older guys could work miracles with engines. Thanks for watching, Nelson! Hope you have a good one!

Thanks Rusty! Hopefully next winter I can do this to the Oliver engine. Hope you have a good week!

Thanks, Mike!

It's all worth it when they run and work again. Thanks for watching, Ed!

Sorry Ed, I loaded this one as I was going to bed again.

Thanks Dan! I was going to call you if I didn't find anything close enough. Stay warm!

Thanks, Nelson! It's not a dumb question. I guess the best way I can explain it is that the metal doesn't really care what shape it is, so making a round piece out of a square is just cutting the corners down until what is left is round. I do have to spin the lathe to start it. The motor is going bad and it won't start itself anymore, it just hums unless you give it a spin before you turn the switch on. It's been that way for years, I just keep using it that way. I need to fix it one of these days. Thanks always for the kind words and the encouragement, Nelson! I hope you have a good week, friend!

@evanaustin2636 Thank you for thr explanation!!! I understand on the lathe, it's tired like us 😁😁

Thanks, Mike! As long as it will hold together, then I'm happy! Hope you have a good week!

Thanks, Ed! Not ideal, but it works well enough. Hope you have a good one as well!

Thanks, Rusty! I stocked up on steel a few years ago, the scrap yard that I bought steel from was going out of business so I went and bought about 600 lbs of random sized scrap pieces, LOL. Still don't always have what I need though🙄🙄

Let's make sure it actually runs again...

Thanks, Mike. I think the root of this problem was overheating. I had cooling fins get plugged up a couple years ago and it got pretty hot, it's acted weird ever since. It started this season running ok enough but it got to where I can't control it anymore. Overall it's been a good engine. I'm a Briggs guy but I was very impressed with this one. I wondered if any of your Cubs had this engine. Hope you have a good one, Mike!

@@evanaustin2636 They made those engines in three series. First ones had oiling issues. The series two were pretty good, that's what all of mine are. The third series added a filter, better yet. Those DA mowers seem like pretty good machines. I'd have a hard time sending a good one down the road.

@@MikeJensen-wo7oh My dad worked in a mower shop when the first series KT17's were out. He said they had a pile of them, all with broken connecting rods. You're right, the series 2's are pretty good engines. I don't really want to sell it, but the boss doesn't want a bunch of mowers around for some reason. If I hide it in the shed well enough maybe she won't know it's still here...

Thanks, Nelson! I don't know about sharp, even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes! I love those garden tractors, this is identical to a Simplicity 7117. Hopefully I can get to doing the valves this weekend. I guess the good news is that there are 2 cylinders so I have 2 chances to press the record button 🙄🙄 I don't think you missed any, this is the first video of this particular disaster. Thanks for watching and all the support, Nelson! Hope you have a great week as well!

I've only done it one other time, probably 20 years ago. I had trouble getting the crankcase halves separated this time because I missed a bolt. There aren't any gaskets between the halves, either, you use anaerobic gasket sealer on them. I'm hoping this takes care of the problem, the engine is a little tired but it's always ran really well. Thank you for watching, Rusty! I hope you have a good one!

I could have sworn that I pushed it, either I didn't hit it right or I just had a brain fart and forgot. Oh well. Not the first time I've screwed up, and it won't be the last time either! Hope you have a good one, Ed!

Howdy, Ed. Actually working on your video right now

@evanaustin2636 perfect 👍

Thanks Nelson! I'm not sure that it's satisfying, so much, as it is a huge relief that the pipe was actually the problem. I've been worried all this time that I missed something and that it would still leak, but thank goodness it's fixed! We did get maybe 2 or 3 inches of snow today. It's supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow and 50's by Sunday so it won't last long. Our winters aren't too harsh compared to what they get farther North. Thanks for watching, Nelson! I hope you have a good one!

@evanaustin2636 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻❄️❄️

Thanks Mike! Just in time is right!

Thanks Ed! It feels good to have that finished! Hope you have a good one!

Evening Rusty. Did you get any of the wind today?? It sure did a lot of damage along the coast and West side of Washington.

Yes it is! I've been worried since I started working on it that I was fixing the wrong thing. So I'm VERY relieved that it's fixed! I woke up to a dusting of snow outside this morning. The ground is still pretty warm here so it won't last long. Hope you have a good one, Rusty!

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin Hi Ed, not much here, it was just breezy, i heard there was lots of damage, 80 mph winds, sheesh!

Smoke may have worked on the old pipe, it isn't filled solid like the new one is. It just has a couple layers of bubble wrap around the pex pipes. The house was empty for 2 winters before we bought it, and the whole boiler system froze. It didn't hurt the boiler itself but I had to replace a bunch of parts to get it going and I've been waiting for the lines to go the whole time we've been using it. Hopefully the new ones will outlast my desire to cut wood, LOL. Thank you for watching, Steve! I hope you have a great week!

Thanks, Nelson! Yeah, I didn't really know what I was doing and then hitting that stupid root right off the bat was not a great start, LOL! Those darn cats...you need some cats? I'll ship you some...Jack needs some friends 🤣🤣 The weather has been really mild so far, I can't complain at all about that. And we did get some rain last week so that softened things up for digging 👍👍I'm hoping to get it finished up this weekend. Thanks again, Nelson! I hope you have a great week too!

@evanaustin2636 😁😁😁😉👌🏻👌🏻

That stinks. Not much you can do with that, "easier" to just run a new line. But definitely not easy. I'm glad this didn't have to be that deep. Hopefully I can get it finished up next weekend. Hope you have a good week, Rusty!

It wasn't a great time. The boys sure loved the dirt though. Especially on Sunday after it rained Saturday night. They are very drawn to mud. Will be looking forward to part 4! Thanks for watching, Mike! Hope you have a good one

Ain't that the truth! Ugh, I think yours sounds worse than mine. Hope it isn't too horrible to get done

Thanks, Ed. Yeah, the conditions could have been a lot worse. And we had a good rain last week so that made the digging a lot easier. I'm not sure if you buried a bigger pipe if you would be able to pull this stuff through it. It doesn't flex very well. That's why I ended up hacking out the sheet metal on the back of the boiler, it wouldn't flex enough to line up and go through the hole underneath. Hopefully this will outlast my desire to cut wood... Thanks for watching, Ed! Hope you have a good one

@evanaustin2636 big electric cable is pretty stiff too.. lol When you get tired of cutting wood, is when you convert it to a diesel/oil boiler.. still need the hose.. Just a thought 🤔

Thanks, Nelson! I wish I could claim that handle, but it was on the splitter when I bought it. I sure do like it though! The boiler itself is ok, but the problem isn't going to be a fun fix. I hope you have a good week as well, Nelson!

They sure are handy. They are a lot nicer than splitting with wedges and a sledgehammer! Hope you have a good one, Brendan!

@evanaustin2636 certainly Evan. Have seen some pto driven type splitters that could work behind my fergy. Something to think about. For now, it's just my axe and wedges. Lol

@@LinksviewAcres137 It is good exercise

Thanks, Mike! The wood I was splitting is cottonwood. It isn't great firewood, but it was available. I've got a couple trailer loads of ash in the shed already. The boiler goes through a lot of wood so I try not to be too picky. I'll have to check out that other video. Thanks again, Mike! I hope you have a good one!

Thanks, Rusty! The loader and the splitter make the job a lot less bad, LOL. I'm glad I don't have anything to split as big as the ones you have though. I bought a big splitter a few years ago, it's a project, that I haven't gotten to yet. It really feels good to have the Allis back to work, I missed that sound! I hope you have a good one, Rusty!

Thanks, Ed! The boiler has a water leak in the pipe underground, I got new pipe yesterday (that hurt the checking account) I'm hoping to get it run this weekend. It's been fairly warm here still, usually we light the fire around Halloween. Hope you have a good one as well, Ed!

Morning, Ed. Sorry, I got the video loaded and went to bed...mornings get here earlier than I'd like

Thank you! I'm very happy with how they did this year. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome, Mike!

Thanks, Brendan!

I think it will be a neat channel. Thanks, Nelson!

Thank you, friend! The more I use the 770, the more I like it. It still needs quite a bit of work, but it's still a lot of fun to run. Thanks for watching!

One of these days I'll break down and buy another battery...but that day isn't today LOL. Hope you have a good one, Jack!

Thanks, Mike! I'm pretty sure Dr. Allis wrote the post that I found. He knows these things inside and out! That's what confused me too, it always acted fine before, but after I put the engine back in it would not throttle right. I guess it's like a tootsie roll pop, "the world may never know" LOL. Hope you have a good one, Mike!

Thanks, Ed! I'm glad it didn't have to come back apart again. I don't know why that fixed it, but I guess I won't question it too much LOL. Hope you have a good one, Ed!

I don't know how much of this will translate to other brands, but it sure worked on the Allis. I really didn't expect shortening the rod to cure the throttle issue, but I'm not going to complain that it did. Thanks for always, watching, friend! I hope the rain did your hay some good! We have rain predicted for Thursday, I'm hoping that will get my wheat going. Hope you have a good one, Rusty!

Thanks, Nelson! The thing is, I still don't understand why that fixed it, because it always acted right before. I'm glad it didn't have to come back apart though. The "next project" is one I've been putting off for a while...Thanks for watching, Nelson! I hope you have a great week!

@evanaustin2636 😉😁😁👌🏻👌🏻

They are machine screws with nuts. I actually had to make a whole new trough for the bottom of the scour kleen because it's not the right one for this combine and the original trash auger and trough were too short. This combine didn't come with a scour kleen on it. I just used thin galvanized duct work sheet metal to make the new one. Good luck with yours!

Thanks, Jack!

Thanks, Mike! That would be really awesome to see! I hope everything works out! I really would like to find a snap coupler subsoiler. The guy I bought the tractor from had one, but at the time I didn't think I would ever be trying to farm with it so I didn't buy it. Still kicking myself for that. Thanks for watching, Mike! I hope you have a good one!

@@evanaustin2636 You are my first subscriber, thanks! That's going to put a little pressure on me to get going on this thing. I have a fair amount of footage already if I can get it edited, even roughly. Don't think posting it will be hard. Put the sub-soiler on the NFE 45 today and got the garden mostly cleared off. Plow day tomorrow! I'm driving the 856 and 565 Oliver 5-16's up and a buddy is bringing the WFE 45 with 3-16's on the trailer. Will be a great day. Keep up the good work, always brightens my day when I see one of your videos pop up on the feed.

@@MikeJensen-wo7oh No pressure, Mike! I didn't have a clue how to make a video when I started, and I really still don't, but I enjoy doing it and it's fun getting to interact with people on here. Editing isn't too bad, just make sure you can find the "undo" button LOL (I use that a lot) Plow day sounds like a blast! The 856 and the 5 bottom sounds like a fun combination. I had a 3-16 for my WD45, it pulled it but it was really a load for it. I had to leave the loader on for weight to plow with it or else the front end wouldn't stay on the ground. I ended up selling it and buying a 3-14, it handles it a lot better. Thank you for the kind words, Mike! I'm glad you enjoy what I post. I don't feel like mine are that great but I try. Hope you have a great plow day!

@@MikeJensen-wo7oh Hey Mike, just watched your video! Just a couple things I wanted to say: not sure if you wanted the comments turned off or not, but if you want comments on the videos, you have to set it as NOT made for kids. I set mine as "made for kids" when I started, and I ended up changing that setting. Just a heads up, youtube doesn't make that real clear. Also, is it ok if I do a quick shout out video for your channel? Not that I have tons of viewers but it might help send a few people your way. Awesome video, Mike! Hope you have a good one

@@evanaustin2636 Thanks Evan! I changed it to not made for kids but it seems to still not be accepting comments. I've got quite a bit more stuff to post so we'll see how it goes. By all means, the shout out video would be great. Sometime in the future I intend to make one explaining how I got to here. Watching channels like yours and Chris and Ross, etc. I posted a link on Red Power today and got good reviews there and picked up a couple subscribers. Will post it on Unofficial Allis board in the morning. Take care, Mike.

Yeah, the disc didn’t like that rock. I’ve gotten a lot of crap out of this field, either rocks or bricks or chunks of old clay tile. I tried ratchet straps from one corner of the disc and drill to the hitch pin to try and get the slop out and it didn’t help. They are both tail heavy and pulling them together just doesn’t seem to work. But they do a good enough job for me. Thanks for watching, Ed! Hope you have a good day!!!

Thanks Rusty!! The disc shouldn’t be too bad to fix. It definitely didn’t like that rock Lol. We’re starting to get a few rain chances in the forecast but they haven’t materialized yet. It felt good to get the Allis back out. Hope you have a good one Rusty!!!

It was a question of when it would happen. When you burn a quart of oil every 3 or 4 hours, you have to expect a few fouled plugs LOL
