I'm a woman who has no knowledge or frankly interest in mechanical engineering. However, I've become absolutely fascinated in watching the assembly of your engines. Your explanations are mind blowing and very educational.
Don’t ever think your work is not appreciated, I’m a boomer that watched my older brother do his magic working on engines. You keep his memory alive in my my mind, and for that I am forever grateful.
Another 'Top Notch' presentation by a master mechanical educator. Every project has a process/algorithm; sometimes tedious. You make it enjoyable; no need to be apologetic. You offer so many tricks/hacks/suggestions that make it worth the time. Do not cut your self short; you are one of the best channels!
Good morning Pete! It must seem bizarre to you and Hillary that so many people look forward to your videos. I'm 65 and grew up in the "Beach Boys" California. Back in the '60s and '70s it was still very much HEAVILY agricultural and still very free! I grew up around all types of farms, both agricultural and livestock. And the way they did things back then, still is pretty much what you're advocating now. Just wanted you and Hillary to know that it's very soothing and calming to whatch you work, watch your animals, watch your farm thrive! Plus you are an awesome teacher!!! Been watching you for little over four years now and it never gets old. I know, sometimes you worry about this, but just do what you do! Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year!! God Bless!
Pete , I had to laugh out loud at your comment! My son was a mechanic for about 12 yrs he always said engine designer's were evil and had no idea how to work on what designed !!!😂
Can't put a wrench in there, can't get nothin in there. I chuckled. One time, working on a jet I ground a wrench to the point it looked like a music turning fork to get at a nut.
Just terrific..after viewing video twice ( this slow learner always picks up a few points the second time through ) I realized how lucky we all are to have instruction with knowledgeable patient audio coupled together..many thanks
I love this kind of authentic auto work. take your time, done right is done once. I'm so tired of hearing loud shouty channels pushing the old cliche "we've got 2 days to do a million dollar build for SEMA! will we make it?!" who cares. I'll be watching Pete chat with Patty and work on his international.
Your patience with these repairs always inspires me to do better when working on our cars, or fixing things around the house. Thanks for all the work you do making these videos. It’s very much appreciated.
Why does an old woman like me watch Pete's engine rebuild videos? Because of Pete's explanation of the inexplicable 😅. Merry Christmas, Pete, Hilarie, Ezra😻, Patty🐮, and crew!
Hi Pete. My name is Pete as well. My father had me late in life. He isn't no longer with us. Been gone for yrs. I'm 48 yrs old. He work on these back in the day when this stuff was built. I remember as a kid and my older half sibling talk about him and the old IH trucks and tractors. I also grew up around on farms and small farms. You are keeping his memories alive. I'm starring to get into the small farm stage of my life. You have been a good help to me. I enjoy your videos alot and to the keyboard a**holes that think they need to be critical of you. That's not right. You take time to document your stuff for us to enjoy. So a big thank you Pete!!
Thank you so much, Pete. You powered through when you had to, even though I am sure you were imagining bad things happening to the engineer(s) who designed this "easy to work on" engine. In my '64 Buick v6, they recommended packing the oil pump cavity and around the gears with petroleum jelly to get that first prime as the pump was above the oil level. They certainly relied on nice thick cork gaskets for that oil pan around the seals, didn't they? This journey is a real treat, thanks so much for bringing us along! I can almost smell the new paint burning in on the engine once you start test running it! I hope you have a oil pressure and temperature gauges to measure the oil pressure & water temp when you run it on your test stand. This is most enjoyable and THANK YOU!
Of course this comes with rewards, but to earn the reward you have to expend a tremendous amount of patience. You passed with flying colors, Pete! That's a good life lesson for all of us!
I’m not mechanically inclined at all and absolutely love watching your videos like this. I enjoy learning what each thing does and how it all goes back together. Thank you Pete!!
One of the very best content makers on Utube. A local high school shop class would be blessed to have you as a teacher for those young minds. You have a rare gift my friend.
Pete that's a neck of a road your going doing down. In 1972 they came out with thin walked S curved standard wrenches, those would have come in handy for those seal bolts. My father , we put him in Assisted living, those tools I picked up just 3 months ago, I'm 64 now. God Bless as you do this project. Thank You much for taking us, with you!!
Good Sunday morning to Pete. Wanted to watch earlier, but I was busy driving my sister to work. Her car is in the shop now my week can start the way. It should with a video from Pete.
Hi Pete, may I wish you, Hilarie and all your wonderful family a happy and a peaceful Christmas. Thank you for the great entertainment you've given me throughout the year. I wish you good luck with all you do in 2025. From Paul Moloney - Dublin, Ireland. ☘️
Good morning Pete! I really like this series! It's very interesting. I always thought all the oil had to go through the filter before going back to the oil pan. Crank shaft pulley soup would be so tasty. But it would take months or years of boiling to make it tender. Lol. Had a good laugh when you said it needed curry powder. Lol
You have the patience of Job and follow a time tested process for everything you do. It is awesome to watch you work. I can't wait, as Hilary says, to hear this engine purr like a kitten.
Well Pete, I have told you many times in the past that I will never be, what one would call, a mechanic. But I am truly fascinated by these "build" videos that you do, as they are both, entertaining, AND, educational. Not only that, but in making this comment, it allows me to wish you and HIllary a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!!!
81 but enjoy your posts each morning you post just before my morning run. Run? Well, my feet are moving faster than a walk.😊 1943 was a long time ago and I remember my dad coming home from Germany. I was 3 but still remember. When the war was over, it took months to come home.
Pete, you sound frustrated, but please don’t be. You’re careful explanation provides so much insight and learning even to a non-mechanic like me. Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you next week.
I really appreciate all of the work you are having to do. Watching all of the intricate issues and you explaining everything is very interesting. Thank you!
Yes sir, just about halfway there. People do not realize that removing an engine and completely disassembling it, procuring the parts needed after the condition of the engine block, crankshaft, cylinder heads, is a time-consuming process and when one person is doing the work it takes even longer and really requires patience. My father was the same way you are in rebuilding an engine, and when he finished the job, he would set everything and shut the hood and drive the vehicle. He went over everything and of course he covered all of the things that you mentioned at the end of your video. When I go through an engine I do not allow anyone around me as I do not care to hear all of the sound bite shortcuts or the comments about why it takes so long. At present I am rebuilding a 350 Chevrolet engine for my 72 four wheel drive truck and not having done this work for a while it takes me longer but I am just at the point where you are, and as stated I am about halfway done as far as firing the engine. This will be a good series and this is one that my father would have definitely approved of. He had two Internationals a 49 KB1 and a 55 R120 as well as an International super C tractor. In fact it was looking at his work on the 55 International that inspired me to become a gearhead.🥸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Working on a newer Chevy 350 with its one-piece rear main seal, sure makes you appreciate the advances in automotive engineering. Merry Christmas to you, Hilarie, and the family! Thanks
An IH engine rebuild - yeah, some frustrating parts there, Pete, but very satisfying result. Looking forward to the continuation of this great series and seeing the engine back in your truck!
I'm 81 and had my share of "Corn Binder" trucks. loadstar 's etc. but only had to replace one engine, a 345, as many have said here its a joy to watch and even at my age learn something new. even though I'll never get to use it. it's always nice to watcha nd learn. thanks for sharing Pete Hope you Hillary and family have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Healthy and Prosperous New Year! ECF.
Pete, thanks for another great video! I especially appreciate your patience. You soldier on through your various frustrating moments without any temper explosions, or at least none that you include in the video. I also like your calm, detailed explanations. Again, great job!
I like how you show that not every thing goes perfect every time. It helps show that you're just like us. Thanks I love seeing them from the Philippines.
I am not a mechanic or vehicle DIY'er, but I still enjoy watching these videos just as much as your farming videos. I am looking forward to more, and of course the completed truck!
I always learn so much from your approach to these mechanical issues. You remind me of my father when he would overhaul his tractors and show me why he would do certain things. Thank you
Fascinating Mr Pete😮. Following along with your intricacies and KNOWLEDGE is a treat ❣️. Please continue these tutorials 😍 they're invaluable for the years to come 🎉
You have a gift of teaching. Your videos are instructive, entertaining, and...calming. Reminds me a little of watching Bob Ross painting. You're in your element, and we couldn't be happier watching/learning from you. Merry Christmas to you and your family.✝️
Thanks Pete for your Time and how detailed they are. Cant wait to see your new shop go up, im sure you cant either. Happy Holidays to you and your family, i hope you all have a great time together.
I still have Dad's "Parts" pot too! Wow Pete, watching your rebuilds brings back a lot of fond memories. I even looked down at a few scars left on my hands and smiled. Yep, good times working in the shop with my Dad. Thanks Pete. I hope your family have a wonder Christmas! Stay warm. It's even snack face cold here in southern New Jersey today. Brrrr
Absolutely my favorite channel to watch I have NEVER missed an episode and I find myself going back to watch older ones as well. GREAT personality and skill in all of your videos sir! Merry Christmas to you and your family !
Happy Sunday Pete, Hil and family. Fine attention to the gasket tolerances. Most DIY mechanics don’t realize how important that is. Also the joining of perpendicular gasket surfaces. A Very Merry Christmas To All Of You!!!
Pete, you are simply the best. Assembling this engine is virtually identical to my 235 Chevrolet 6. One difference is the two lower assembly screws for the front pan that surrounds the timing gears over the front of the engine go back to front through the front main seal cap. Because of this you have to pull the oil pan to remove the timing gear cover. Yours seems to be different. There is a little oil pipe with a weep hole that protrudes through the block just above the timing gears that lubricate the gears. These are such neat old engines. I really enjoy watching these videos. Merry Christmas to your entire family.
Thankyou for another interesting update. The end is not yet it sight but the journey is the best part. I appreciate how much effort you put into the engine and also being the cameraman, director, producer and editor of a very well done video, congratulations on all fronts. What we saw today would be a year or more for me and I am ok with that, well at my age. 😅. Thank you and dare I say Merry Christmas or happy holidays to all. Peace.
Another great video, Pete, videos like this satisfy my tedious nature. Some call it OCD. I call it paying attention to detail. Have a Merry Christmas. See you next week
Rebuilds are a pain but the satisfaction when its all done is the proud moments when she starts up and purrs like a sewing machine.. Then driving for years knowing how well you rebuilt it.
Pete I got my belly laugh for the day when you said “I’d like to speak to the designer who designed this” just to funny, love your video’s and abundance of patient. Merry Christmas to you, Hillary and family.
Yeah that's an old trick. Engine assembly lube works great for getting the pump to prime. Also, I plan an "pre-lubing" this engine via an external pump connected to the main oil gallery before first startup, same as I did with the Farmall MD.
A great video, Pete. I will never wield a spanner (wrench?) or rebuild an engine, a truck or a tractor, but I really enjoy watching you do it. Your skill, knowledge and patience are amazing. Thank you.
Hello Pete enjoyed your video. Lots of fun you have to love it when the service manual does not have what you need and you need other service manual. I just experienced that but didnt wait for the second part. Now that I have there is the next time. Have a great day.
Great winter project. A Time machine back to when they made things to last for years of use. No one demanding special control over what was yours free and clear. If it broke the guy with an oil rag in his back pocket knew how to fix or the farmer with a little baling wire and chewing gum. Life was simpler back then.
What's that old saying? "If it was easy, everybody would be doin' it!" Many DIY as well as professional mechanics these days do not remember the concept of 'bypass-flow filtration'... I recall when the term "Full flow oil filtration" was a big deal as the industry migrated to full flow lubrication systems. That engine is a pretty rare item these days, and a fella sure wouldn't wanna make a mistake! There's a lot of ways to get it wrong. Good work as always, Pete! Can't wait for the engine test stand!
My brother in law told me to use the ball end of the hammer and hit the holes from the back side to raise them so the bolts pull cover tight. Thank you Tom from Nebraska .
Pete love this rebuild, reminds me of all the old cars I worked on with my brothers as a kid. I'm also amazed by the old school engineering lock washers everywhere, felt seals, canister oil filters, and all those cork gaskets. Hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year.
That engine is getting close to running! Can't wait to hear it. You explain every detail so perfect. I hope your family has a Merry Christmas and a Happy NEW YEAR
I turned this on while my 3- and 5-year-old grandsons were in the room. They stopped playing and watched the entire video enthralled. Thanks Pete.

Yes, I am getting tired of the "get it done quick for some show" videos. Pete's style is MUCH more enjoyable. Go Pete!!!
They do the same thing with these home rebuild shows. Some of them are getting sued because the homes are now falling apart.
Wonderful journey you are on and thanks for taking us along.
Your patience with these repairs always inspires me to do better when working on our cars, or fixing things around the house. Thanks for all the work you do making these videos. It’s very much appreciated.
When it comes to an engine rebuild, attention to detail is most important, and your not leaving anything overlooked 😊. Good job 👍
Ah, Sundays. I do love this part of Sunday where JaFAF drops a video!
Why does an old woman like me watch Pete's engine rebuild videos? Because of Pete's explanation of the inexplicable 😅.
Merry Christmas, Pete, Hilarie, Ezra😻, Patty🐮, and crew!

This is super relaxing to watch. I’m not a gear head but I appreciate your wealth of knowledge and demeanor.

checking Pete's video out then heading to church is becoming a tradition for me on sunday mornings
Great routine, isn't it 😊
@@jerryfischer3988 it really is
Me too!
Same here. Love it with coffee
Same

Another great video Pete, takes this old man back to my knuckle busting days. Thank You !!
You have the patience of Job and follow a time tested process for everything you do. It is awesome to watch you work. I can't wait, as Hilary says, to hear this engine purr like a kitten.
I admire your patience and calm demeanor. Mechanical challenges can be exceptionally frustrating.
Always good to watch a genius at work I think these videos are great. Well done, Pete doing a grand job. 👍👍👍
Merry Christmas Pete and Hillary. Hope your family has it merry and bright.

That was a really great video Pete. Very comprehensive and should help alot of people doing the same engine. Have a great weekend sir.
I really enjoyed this video. You did a very good job of showing the steps and details required to put this engine back together. Thanks Pete!
Thank you Pete and Hillary! Merry Christmas to your family!! ❤
Pete, you sound frustrated, but please don’t be. You’re careful explanation provides so much insight and learning even to a non-mechanic like me. Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you next week.
Thanks for are dinner time entertainment. Also very educational. Merry Christmas.
I really appreciate all of the work you are having to do. Watching all of the intricate issues and you explaining everything is very interesting.

It sure is nice to see that oil pan go back on.......almost done!
Really enjoy watching your videos. Good to know others struggle with engineering decisions as I often do!
Loved it! Lots of behind the scenes work and editing. Top notch! Thank you!
Pete, thanks for another great video! I especially appreciate your patience. You soldier on through your various frustrating moments without any temper explosions, or at least none that you include in the video. I also like your calm, detailed explanations. Again, great job!
Definitely a good Winter project. I'm watching.
I like how you show that not every thing goes perfect every time. It helps show that you're just like us. Thanks I love seeing them from the Philippines.
With that rebuilt engine, I think that truck will run wonderfully for many years. It was a lot of work and time, but it will be well worth it!
Let us hope the transmission is in good shape to minimize future expenditures!
I am not a mechanic or vehicle DIY'er, but I still enjoy watching these videos just as much as your farming videos. I am looking forward to more, and of course the completed truck!
I always learn so much from your approach to these mechanical issues. You remind me of my father when he would overhaul his tractors and show me why he would do certain things. Thank you
Thanks Pete , love your professionalism, thankyou Sir
Great video. Love watching your engine rebuilds. All the best 🇬🇧
Fascinating Mr Pete😮. Following along with your intricacies and KNOWLEDGE is a treat ❣️. Please continue these tutorials 😍 they're invaluable for the years to come 🎉
You have a gift of teaching. Your videos are instructive, entertaining, and...calming.
Reminds me a little of watching Bob Ross painting.
You're in your element, and we couldn't be happier watching/learning from you.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.✝️
You are the definition of perseverance😊
Absolutely love the explanation of how the mechanics work. Thank you so much.
Thanks Pete for your Time and how detailed they are. Cant wait to see your new shop go up, im sure you cant either. Happy Holidays to you and your family, i hope you all have a great time together.
Watching you rebuild that engine makes me glad that I'm not having to do it. You are definitely gifted to do what you do.
I still have Dad's "Parts" pot too! Wow Pete, watching your rebuilds brings back a lot of fond memories. I even looked down at a few scars left on my hands and smiled. Yep, good times working in the shop with my Dad. Thanks Pete. I hope your family have a wonder Christmas! Stay warm. It's even snack face cold here in southern New Jersey today. Brrrr
Absolutely my favorite channel to watch I have NEVER missed an episode and I find myself going back to watch older ones as well. GREAT personality and skill in all of your videos sir! Merry Christmas to you and your family !
I can never see enough of this stuff. Thanks, Pete!
You are an excellent instructor. I really like the straightforward scoop on how things work. Please keep em coming. Thank you. 🥸👍👀👋🎄✅
Happy Sunday Pete, Hil and family. Fine attention to the gasket tolerances. Most DIY mechanics don’t realize how important that is. Also the joining of perpendicular gasket surfaces. A Very Merry Christmas To All Of You!!!
Great video Pete. We would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.....
Have a Merry Christmas! I'm looking forward to a break.
Enjoyed watching. Lots to do to get one back together. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to all.
Pete, you are simply the best. Assembling this engine is virtually identical to my 235 Chevrolet 6. One difference is the two lower assembly screws for the front pan that surrounds the timing gears over the front of the engine go back to front through the front main seal cap. Because of this you have to pull the oil pan to remove the timing gear cover. Yours seems to be different. There is a little oil pipe with a weep hole that protrudes through the block just above the timing gears that lubricate the gears. These are such neat old engines. I really enjoy watching these videos. Merry Christmas to your entire family.
Thankyou for another interesting update. The end is not yet it sight but the journey is the best part.

Merry Xmas to Pete,Hilary and family...
Old trick to make sure the oil pump primes was to pack the gears with Vaseline. Great video.
Yeah that's an old trick. Engine assembly lube works great for getting the pump to prime. Also, I plan an "pre-lubing" this engine via an external pump connected to the main oil gallery before first startup, same as I did with the Farmall MD.
Merry Christmas and a huge way to go to Pete and Hillary from a viewer in the bluegrass of ky ! You Go !! Woo. Hoo!
enjoy all videos pete it's one the of best thank you
Love your restoration videos Iv watched all of them from the first tractor you restored Iv learned a lot from your videos
A great video, Pete. I will never wield a spanner (wrench?) or rebuild an engine, a truck or a tractor, but I really enjoy watching you do it. Your skill, knowledge and patience are amazing. Thank you.
Nice job there Pete, Ilike the way you explain all the moves that need be made as it goes together. I've had similar experience's working on engines.
Hello Pete enjoyed your video. Lots of fun you have to love it when the service manual does not have what you need and you need other service manual. I just experienced that but didnt wait for the second part. Now that I have there is the next time. Have a great day.
I always enjoy watching these videos, your detail is nice to see. Thanks for sharing, I hope you have a nice day!
BTW, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My brother in law told me to use the ball end of the hammer and hit the holes from the back side to raise them so the bolts pull cover tight. Thank you Tom from Nebraska .
Hang in there you’re almost done. Merry Christmas to you and your family Pete.
Great video. Thank for another enthralling video.
Pete love this rebuild, reminds me of all the old cars I worked on with my brothers as a kid. I'm also amazed by the old school engineering lock washers everywhere, felt seals, canister oil filters, and all those cork gaskets. Hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year.
That engine is getting close to running! Can't wait to hear it. You explain every detail so perfect. I hope your family has a Merry Christmas and a Happy NEW YEAR
Thanks Pete, another fun watch.
Have a merry christmas. Cant wait to hear that engine purr
All I can say is thank you for the video, "Persistent Pete"! Wow!!! Murfreesboro, TN
