I was a career auto mechanic and your courage, understanding and ability to tackle these complex renewals amazes me as does the original engineering and production!
I don’t understand a word you said but I’m mesmerized by your every word. My husband asked me, “and why are we watching this?” And I replied, “because it’s Pete, it’s fascinating and we want to watch every episode.” ❤️
It blows my mind that someone is smart enough to build these things in the first place where everything has to be perfectly in line and to be able to fit everything in it. And this is simple to the modern ones.
Love learning about the torque amplifier. Your videos seem so different than the typical ones on YT. You present things in a normal way and manage to mention all the important details while keeping your viewers from getting bored. YT has many problems but you're one reason why I'll never leave.
I have no use for tractor repair. I live in the big city. Why do I watch your repair videos? Its your calming narrative that I enjoy so much. I can and often do watch these videos 2 and yes 3 times. I enjoy with my first coffee of the day. So thank you and DO keep making this type of content. Thank you.
Some engineer thought it would insure the gear and shaft went in correctly by adding the extra shoulder that way. It amazes me how thoughtful and deliberate those engineers were.
Sure beats modern engineers slipping in planned obsolescence on everything nowadays! Why it will always be a viable solution to own and maintain these beauties IMHO.
Another great video Pete, and the funny thing is, I'm 80 yrs old, don't even own a tractor, well my cub lawn mower, but I love this series and all the past rebuild/restorations the MD, the "A" etc. and now this series I watch intently as if I'm going to be doing the same thing in the future, I followed throught the drawing and thought Oh yes I remember whe he showed that direct drive idea etc. its just so fascinating and you do such a great job of discribing things and keep my attention so locked I just have to keep watching. what does that tell you Pete! "You is a good teacher" that's what!. thanks so much for making this old man's day. and for sharing ECF.
I’m 26 and live in an apartment and I love Pete’s videos. It’s so cool seeing these videos and the comments of people sharing their life stories and experiences and why they love Pete’s videos. Thank you Pete for the great variety of content you put out, the quality of your videos, and bringing so many different people happiness and teaching us new things about farm life. 😊 looking forward to the day when I could maybe have my own small farm!
Thank you Mr Pete for letting us share your experience. My husband was into car engines and all. I helped him. We are in our mid 70s and enjoy reminiscing. That engine joist brought back memories. God is Good. Ty again.
I really am enjoying this series and the little nuances that goes into such a restoration. Your attention to detail and your calm demeanor is something I wish more people demonstrated on a daily basis. It would be a much better world. Thanks Pete.
Nothing is impossible, so I will say this, it's almost impossible for me to,not watch your videos to the end. I find your videos to be very interesting, educational and enjoyable. You have a great way of teaching things, which makes them easy to understand and follow. Thanks for sharing this. See you later. Have a great day.
Reminder... Blue locktite for the counter shaft bolts on the front of the housing Pete. Also main shaft bolts, same side... 8 total. Thanks for the video, as always. Nice to wake up to getting my brain a little mental exercise.
This is incredibly fascinating - but it dawns on me that this tech is fairly old. They came up with this I don't know how many decades ago - all of our more recent tech advances are geared more toward reducing emissions rather than designing new ways to leverage force and get better numbers using physics. I'm still hoping they will get to designs that are maintenance friendly. Thanks for sharing this project with us - I love to learn how things actually work.
Hi Pete! My wife, Laura, and I watch your videos at dinner time so I have to wait to watch with her. Sorry to mess up your video metrics… we love the mechanical videos as well as the animal care. Laura’s Dad was a farmer too and many things you do and share remind her of him. He passed in 2021.
The IH TA was a big problem for John Deere for a lot of years lol. Because when John Deere got into a tough pull and would peter out on pulling power and stall, IH could pull a lever, and split the gear they’re in, in half and pull through the tough spot, and keep on going lol. This was usually used while plowing. I tell you the TA is one fascinating piece of IH engineering, and in 1954 when it first came out in the Super M, the engineers at IH were some of the most brilliant minds in the entire Ag Industry. Even today the TA remains a big mystery to a lot of people, and yeah you have people that love the TA, and you got people that hate the TA and delete them out, but to me, the TA means you always have that edge over other brands, because no other brand can have it. It’s one more reason IH is the best even today still. And it’s one more reason John Deere was always behind IH as a Ag manufacturing giant.
Funny when you said pointing with your ring finger, now a days no one would know what you were talking about because they put rings on their thumbs & toes & wherever lol
As a life long 'fixit' guy, these videos fascinate me. Understanding of the equipment and its inner workings is obviously essential for proper assembly. I think you got it down, Pete! ;) Thanks for the addendum! The visual aids are terrific!
I'm resurrecting a Super C and enjoy your tutorial's immensely. I am more impressed with how you manage to accomplish all that you do with only a hammer and a 9/16 open end wrench and all in only 25 minutes !!!😜
I can’t imagine how much extra work there was for you to line up the camera to capture every shot of each step of this restoration. In my mind it was double work, but I really appreciate that. You memorialized all the steps because from an engineering standpoint it is remarkable, and your knowledge of all these parts is also completely amazing.
Pete, your descriptions concerning the reassembly of the various parts are interesting and fairly easy to understand. You are a master teacher with a calm demeanor. Blessings to you.
You've given us a lot of information to digest, good job. While I didn't fully understand all the specifics of the TA, I get the basic concept of how it works and interacts. I am a person that understand more when I see it rather than read or told it. I commend your patience and steadfast resolve to get this process done. Thanks for your explanation on this very complicated process. I hope your day is good! Reminder List: Don't forget to pull the retainer on the counter shaft and main shaft, to put Loctite on the bolts.
Thank you, Pete, these videos have been a real blessing for me. Your ability to explain things in a simple, and straightforward manner has made it possible for me to effective badly needed repairs on my own tractor with confidence. I look forward to seeing the rest of this series and I hope you'll be willing to do more in the future as well.
That TA is where farmall really came out ahead of Massey Ferguson in that time period. And I’m a die hard Massey man. MF multipower works in a very similar manner, but in low multi, the tractor is able to freewheel. The TA comes out way ahead because it maintains engine braking and mechanical connection in both modes of the TA
it never occurred to me before watching this particular video, but there’s obviously a lot of crossover in the skill set between your clock, fixing and transmissions. You’re a master at both. Pete, don’t forget the blue Loctite .
It's hard to express my thoughts in a short comment. Excellent, excellent video Pete. I thoroughly enjoyed the appendices, especially the diagram and teaching of the transfer of power. Your videos on the restorations have terrific explanations. They are structured and comprehensive and you have me hooked with them. You have proved that with patience, research, fair mechanical ability, and a little ingenuity nearly anyone could do what you've shown here. And there is always the allure of staying til the end to see the tractor making smoke in the fields again. Best of luck to you and don't pinch your fingers.
Pete, you should’ve been a teacher. I’ve been around mechanical stuff most my life, your desire to show your work is amazing. Your talent was wasted not being able to teach young people.
I've just spent a few hours this morning reconstructing child's hearing and tympanic membrane after cholesteatoma removal but wasn't as complicated as this TA reassembly. Well done Pete
Pete, another home run! You have a great easy going and very patient style of teaching and sharing in all you choose to put in your videos, thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work.😃😃
I can't thank you enough! It is a pleasure to listen and learn something new even though I will never tear down and rebuild a TA. Blessings to you and your family.
Good morning. 👍 It's easy to see you are surely enjoying yourself. What's for dinner? Hillary, what are you reading 📚? I am cooking up some bacon for breakfast. Yum, I am getting hungry. 😊
Your skill as a mechanic is unquestionable, but along with that, your ability of explanation of the processes is a talent most do not have. One of my favorite channels and I look forward to all your videos. God bless you and your family.
Pete, this video tutorial series is fascinating. It's obvious you spend time thinking about each segment within the video's and then setting up your camera. You're good at this. 👍👍👍
I thoroughly enjoy your mechanical videos, super informative. I made a living working on equipment and I’m still learning new things everyday. I’ve owned tractors with torque amplifiers in the past but I never got into them, but was always curious as to how they actually worked. I also enjoy you explaining how they work on paper, which makes it easier to understand. You probably never figured that you would be a teacher! Lol you’re a pretty good one!! Thanks for all you do. Blessings!
Okay - I was looking to see how the counter shaft would still drive the tractor in the forward gears because, of course, the counter shaft is the reverse shaft (for those of us who don't deal with these tractors). You answered it, so thanks for that - OH, and don't forget to remove those 8 bolts one at a time on those retainer plates and add the blue locktite (lol).
I have been watching You since you have a 2nd video on YT. And to this day - You are inspiriation! I know, it's huge different between "agri" in USA and EU, but in essence it's same - good food, healthy living way and beauty. You know... there is no money to pay coffe in the morning on the terrace and watching cattle. ❤🍻🤠
I love your videos … I know nothing about farming let alone tractors but your humor … you remind me of my uncle … thank you for uploading your wonderful content.
Hey Pete! I said it before and I'll say it again. You should be a teacher at a trade school. You go through everything and explain things so even I can understand it. Are you glad you decided to do this part of the rebuild? Sound like a really important part of the working part of the tractor not to fix it now.
I am laughing.... you are just great at explaining this and just thought- you woud be the man to explain the big airplain engines in WWii bombers and such. Those are mind boggeling. New tractors are too with all the electronic controls. Fun to watch you. Thanks.
26:18 watching you do this rebuild reminds me how much I MISS GETTING MY HANDS GREASY. Watching these gears spinning around knowing you’ve gotten everything done just right. I really miss it. Thanks for sharing these videos, good memories of twisting wrenches came flooding back to me..❤❤❤
Pleasantly amazed again, Pete, from a very non-mechanic. Loved your comment, "Goes together easily - if you remember all the parts" or to that effect. Right. Thanks as always.
Pete your knowledge and patience continue to amaze me in your videos keep them coming can’t wait to see the finished product and watch this tractor work
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸 ty for your calm even patient explanations .. I am a Motörhead at my very core loving learning how things work- comes from a lumberjack boyfriend in college upstate NY. Huge 6’6 (me 5’2) bear of a whisper voiced man.rescued me broken down showed ME how 2 quick repair a burst hose then introduced me to the wonderland of engines.
Hey folks, I follow Pete and this wonderful channel for quite some time, A way while back he posted a video about free range chickens on cow pasture and the not so beneficial benefits of chickens working cow pies for food, I have searched the channel and cant find it? I wanted to share this video with a friend who is thinking about pasturing his chickens with his dexter in the Carolinas to give him some 'food for thought' so to speak, I would really appreciate any help from the community directing me to this vid, Thank you in advance. Love this channel.. Have a wonderful day all.
Excellent video Pete :) also very good information about 856 Farmall T/A and very interesting too 👍! Like excellent explanation how go together in steps and much more! Don't forget Blue Lock Tight get couple tubes worth so have lots on hand and when needed also for back of T/A need ! Plus Happy St. Valentines Day February 14 2024 2024 to Pete :) and Hilary plus everyone and hope all ladies get lots surprises too!
You are amazing!!! How you remember how all this goes back together is phenomenal ! I am *really* enjoy this rebuild, and of course all the farm related videos. Keep doing what you are doing.
I enjoy watching your channel, but these highly technical mechanical repairs are beyond my capabilities, I promise to watch again when you get it back together and back out in the field working, Take care
Don’t forget to buy a bulk of blue lock tite !!!! Funny how one never runs out until you are in the middle of something…. That & you can never that tube you had on hand .. Until you buy more & it magically appears on your work bench …😆 Excellent video !!! Are you happy now that you have went to the expense & labor of replacing the T/A ? Do you now believe the original would have lasted a while, or was it time to replace it ?
With as much work as you have put into this, it deserves better paint than the cheap enamels from the big box stores.... I am hoping you go with actual IH paint on this one (I know its still enamel, but at least the blend is correct so if/when it fades, it fades like they did originally and not to milky color that the off brand stuff does).
I can see you want the new shop and your toys do what you want to . Rememmber its one life ...its yours ...you cant take money with you enjoy the hell out of life and what ever you decided ill watch
I think the Sprag Clutch allows the shaft to rotate at the faster speed, when both clutches are engaged. The two clutches are trying to spin the shaft at two different speeds, but the Sprag only allows the higher speed through.
Was talking to my son about your rebuilds and I told him how you take things apart and put them back together with no left over parts. Lol Great video, I'll never do what you are doing but I really enjoy watching and learning. And it's not all just tech, you inject history and how things were tried failed and others that worked
Wow ! thank you Pete ! that is a neat way to transmit power ! I can't get over having the main shaft in the transmition split so they can rotate at different speeds...it's like HOW do you do that!?!?! LOL but you explained it very well, the direct drive gears seems like a hard way to go about it really but those parts take alot of force so it has to be really tough ! I am in Awe about that tractor ! it truly is a mechanical marvel ! thank you for showing us ! and explaining it all..... by far it's the best entertainment all day ! LOL....i love mechanical things !
I reckon you are transiting from farming to old tractors restoration! Congratulations, you could include how theses tractos and equipment can be used today in the field.
I love all your videos. I think you are trying to step back some. I love watching you use old equipment and renovations of equipment. I would love to own one of your rebuilt tractors. Thanks you for doing these videos . Old goat
I was a career auto mechanic and your courage, understanding and ability to tackle these complex renewals amazes me as does the original engineering and production!
I don’t understand a word you said but I’m mesmerized by your every word. My husband asked me, “and why are we watching this?” And I replied, “because it’s Pete, it’s fascinating and we want to watch every episode.” ❤️
well said!
Yes, we do!!
L,
Please tell your husband that you two aren't the only ones!
It blows my mind that someone is smart enough to build these things in the first place where everything has to be perfectly in line and to be able to fit everything in it. And this is simple to the modern ones.
So true and I find it crazy that someone was even able to engineer this like most people who never think of these ideas
Now consider all these parts were machined without the computer controlled machines we have today
Love learning about the torque amplifier. Your videos seem so different than the typical ones on YT. You present things in a normal way and manage to mention all the important details while keeping your viewers from getting bored. YT has many problems but you're one reason why I'll never leave.

I enjoy with my first coffee of the day. So thank you and DO keep making this type of content. Thank you.
Hey Teacher Pete fantastic lesson. Anytime I watch you wrenching it’s a great day. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Hillary.
Pete, you are everyone's school shop teacher!
Some engineer thought it would insure the gear and shaft went in correctly by adding the extra shoulder that way. It amazes me how thoughtful and deliberate those engineers were.
Sure beats modern engineers slipping in planned obsolescence on everything nowadays! Why it will always be a viable solution to own and maintain these beauties IMHO.

Absolutely! We are in our 80s as well, husband grew up on farm but never stayed . We love listening and watching Pete.

Should you ever wish to stay a bit busier, you’d make an amazing FFA teacher or mentor. You are awesome.
Petes chirurgical hand 💪🏻
Pete, you may not need to be told this but a foam pad or even a small piece of cardboard on the concrete floor is heaven for your knees😊
Funny when you said pointing with your ring finger, now a days no one would know what you were talking about because they put rings on their thumbs & toes & wherever lol
This video gives me a new appreciation for watchmakers from back in the day , remarkable precision
excellent video!!!!!!!!!! Just call you Mr Goodwrench!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve never been a mechanic but I find this interesting and will continue watching and can’t wait to see this old tractor run like new.
As a life long 'fixit' guy, these videos fascinate me. Understanding of the equipment and its inner workings is obviously essential for proper assembly. I think you got it down, Pete! ;) Thanks for the addendum! The visual aids are terrific!
Thanks Pete. It is nice of you to take your time to go through this with us.
I find it very interesting!
You have lots of peace of mind going on there, Pete. Digging deeper, you KNOW what you have now. Good stuff Kemosabe.
I'm resurrecting a Super C and enjoy your tutorial's immensely. I am more impressed with how you manage to accomplish all that you do with only a hammer and a 9/16 open end wrench and all in only 25 minutes !!!😜

god damn theres so much engineering that goes into one of these things and they are even considered simple by today's standards...
Fascinating! Thanks for taking the time to bring us along! Definitely hanging around for the appendices!
Pete, it's an absolute pleasure watching you explain the who, what, where, and why of how all this works. Thanks for another great video
Thank you, Pete, these videos have been a real blessing for me. Your ability to explain things in a simple, and straightforward manner has made it possible for me to effective badly needed repairs on my own tractor with confidence. I look forward to seeing the rest of this series and I hope you'll be willing to do more in the future as well.
That TA is where farmall really came out ahead of Massey Ferguson in that time period. And I’m a die hard Massey man. MF multipower works in a very similar manner, but in low multi, the tractor is able to freewheel.

Pete, don’t forget the blue Loctite .
Very, very cool…
It's hard to express my thoughts in a short comment. Excellent, excellent video Pete. I thoroughly enjoyed the appendices, especially the diagram and teaching of the transfer of power. Your videos on the restorations have terrific explanations. They are structured and comprehensive and you have me hooked with them. You have proved that with patience, research, fair mechanical ability, and a little ingenuity nearly anyone could do what you've shown here. And there is always the allure of staying til the end to see the tractor making smoke in the fields again. Best of luck to you and don't pinch your fingers.
Don't forget to locktite those bolts! 😀😀
Red and Blue Loctite? There are many different loctites and they have a number associated with them! :)
Enjoying your rebuild. Splitting tractors and rebuilding their internal mechanical workings tain't for the faint of heart. Carry On. 👍
Pete, you should’ve been a teacher. I’ve been around mechanical stuff most my life, your desire to show your work is amazing. Your talent was wasted not being able to teach young people.
I would guess that he taught the new architects in his firm a thing or two
I've just spent a few hours this morning reconstructing child's hearing and tympanic membrane after cholesteatoma removal but wasn't as complicated as this TA reassembly. Well done Pete
Wow!
Pete, another home run! You have a great easy going and very patient style of teaching and sharing in all you choose to put in your videos, thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work.😃😃
I can't thank you enough!
It is a pleasure to listen and learn something new even though I will never tear down and rebuild a TA.
Blessings to you and your family.
No cussing and no tool's flying are you sure you did this right 😀. Great video.
Good thing Hillary was keeping notes on where everything was to go! LOL
Good morning. 👍 It's easy to see you are surely enjoying yourself. What's for dinner? Hillary, what are you reading 📚?
I am cooking up some bacon for breakfast. Yum, I am getting hungry. 😊
The truly amazing thing is all of this was designed and made without computers... Let that sink in...
Your skill as a mechanic is unquestionable, but along with that, your ability of explanation of the processes is a talent most do not have. One of my favorite channels and I look forward to all your videos. God bless you and your family.
A winter farm project for a heated shop. Better get crackin, warm weather is almost upon us.
Really nice to have someone to talk to like Joe who has done this before...
Pete, this video tutorial series is fascinating. It's obvious you spend time thinking about each segment within the video's and then setting up your camera. You're good at this. 👍👍👍
I will never do this job, but i love the mechanical action and old time knowledge. Enginering excellence.
I thoroughly enjoy your mechanical videos, super informative. I made a living working on equipment and I’m still learning new things everyday.

"Delightful Exercise" that was good! I love your restoration videos and you are amazing at explaining things. Still a great teacher! Thank you!
I am laughing.... you are just great at explaining this and just thought- you woud be the man to explain the big airplain engines in WWii bombers and such. Those are mind boggeling. New tractors are too with all the electronic controls. Fun to watch you. Thanks.
What! No torque wrench on your torque converter?
Thank you for another relaxing video. Coffee with Pete.
26:18 watching you do this rebuild reminds me how much I MISS GETTING MY HANDS GREASY. Watching these gears spinning around knowing you’ve gotten everything done just right. I really miss it. Thanks for sharing these videos, good memories of twisting wrenches came flooding back to me..❤❤❤

good episode
Pete your knowledge and patience continue to amaze me in your videos keep them coming can’t wait to see the finished product and watch this tractor work
Lubri-plate is a good company with many products. Drawing - the archetect is revealed.
I have to watch the second half later. Its really a great video so far and when you said "delightful exercise" I really enjoyed that. Thanks Pete!
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸 ty for your calm even patient explanations .. I am a Motörhead at my very core loving learning how things work- comes from a lumberjack boyfriend in college upstate NY.

Fantastic video. Cheers. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm really glad to see someone care enough to do a thorough job of a tough task. well done. Be well.

Excellent video Pete :) also very good information about 856 Farmall T/A and very interesting too 👍! Like excellent explanation how go together in steps and much more! Don't forget Blue Lock Tight get couple tubes worth so have lots on hand and when needed also for back of T/A need ! Plus Happy St. Valentines Day February 14 2024 2024 to Pete :) and Hilary plus everyone and hope all ladies get lots surprises too!
You are amazing!!! How you remember how all this goes back together is phenomenal ! I am *really* enjoy this rebuild, and of course all the farm related videos. Keep doing what you are doing.
I enjoy watching your channel, but these highly technical mechanical repairs are beyond my capabilities,
I promise to watch again when you get it back together and back out in the field working,
Take care
Thank you Fred.
People used to be smarter than we think !
Don’t forget to buy a bulk of blue lock tite !!!!
Funny how one never runs out until you are in the middle of something….
That & you can never that tube you had on hand ..
Until you buy more & it magically appears on your work bench …😆
Excellent video !!!
Are you happy now that you have went to the expense & labor of replacing the T/A ?
Do you now believe the original would have lasted a while, or was it time to replace it ?
I spent many an hour operating a 856. My favorite tractor. I always wondered what the TA looked like and how it worked. Pete great job!
Manure spreader renovation was super. Beautiful job. Thanks. This was probably the only manure restoration on the internet. Olgoat
Very impressive!
With as much work as you have put into this, it deserves better paint than the cheap enamels from the big box stores.... I am hoping you go with actual IH paint on this one (I know its still enamel, but at least the blend is correct so if/when it fades, it fades like they did originally and not to milky color that the off brand stuff does).
Don't forget the blue thread locker
I can see you want the new shop and your toys do what you want to . Rememmber its one life ...its yours ...you cant take money with you enjoy the hell out of life and what ever you decided ill watch
You've earned TWO thumbs up! If only YT had that feature. Believe me, I am giving my monitor the second one right now. :D
Great video Pete!!
You know your stuff Pete or know how to get help. Great job.
I think the Sprag Clutch allows the shaft to rotate at the faster speed, when both clutches are engaged. The two clutches are trying to spin the shaft at two different speeds, but the Sprag only allows the higher speed through.
Was talking to my son about your rebuilds and I told him how you take things apart and put them back together with no left over parts. Lol Great video, I'll never do what you are doing but I really enjoy watching and learning. And it's not all just tech, you inject history and how things were tried failed and others that worked
Get a white or yellow ink marker and mark the bolts that have been torqued and lock tite on them. Easy way to remember.
good job
Wow ! thank you Pete ! that is a neat way to transmit power ! I can't get over having the main shaft in the transmition split so they can rotate at different speeds...it's like HOW do you do that!?!?! LOL but you explained it very well, the direct drive gears seems like a hard way to go about it really but those parts take alot of force so it has to be really tough !
I am in Awe about that tractor ! it truly is a mechanical marvel ! thank you for showing us !
and explaining it all..... by far it's the best entertainment all day ! LOL....i love mechanical things !
You would have made a great instructor! You would have taught the kids the reason why.
Amazing that these designs were done before Computer Aided Design....😄
Don't forget your blue loctite!
I reckon you are transiting from farming to old tractors restoration! Congratulations, you could include how theses tractos and equipment can be used today in the field.
I realized, as you were nesting all those gears together, how visually beautiful they are!😍
I love all your videos. I think you are trying to step back some. I love watching you use old equipment and renovations of equipment. I would love to own one of your rebuilt tractors. Thanks you for doing these videos . Old goat
