So smooth that you could say rubber baby bumper baby four times fast. Yep little bumps to the success of that part of the build. Fine work but you knew that//LOL. Liking what I see.
As I prepared to transfer from active duty to the reserves and started looking for a farm set up, I said I'll never get in to anything I can't do with John Deere 2 cylinders. Then I found 1250 acres with 300 tillable, 200 suitable for pasture, and the rest over grown timber. So I figured I'd be OK as long as I never got in to anything a 4440 can't do. I ended up shitting the bed as far as my plans were concerned and broke down and bought more farms, and equipment over the years. But 2 cylinders are still an important part of my fleet. An A with a 227 picker / 50 sheller, a B and a G. I take some silage off with the G and a one row chopper, some ear and high moisture corn with the A / 227 / 50 combo, and tow the little wagons with the B. It's important my kids see both sides of farming.
Thank you for your service!....sound like you have a great collection!!! And yes I totally agree the kids need to see both sides of farming I like to show that on my channel I like to show that you don't have to have brand new equipment it's still cool to farm with stuff from 70's through the 90's some of these channels make it seem like you got to have all the newest and greatest and I think that discourages some young farmers that's why on my channel I show you can be damn proud of your old iron it will do all the same stuff the new stuff will and sometimes better
I converted my 1939 B tappet oil to a force fed by running a 1/4 inch copper line up through the oil return hole in the block and tapping into the fitting that L shaped fitting that comes off the oil pump. I put a connector in line in case I need to remove the head. Made a cross line to mount over the rocker arms like the later models have. Until your oil gets hot and runs down that pipe from the govenor to the trough in the valve cover the rocker arm assy is starved for oil. Seems to work...
Good job! At 4:13 I guess your found out that welding on the outside of an inner bearing race is the wrong thing to do. It actually make the race tighter when it cools. Welding on the inside of an outer race works great as you did.
I had a 39 A. I prefer electric start tho! I had just rebuilt the entire tractor, and was firing it up, it was running, and I was standing up front, adjusting the carb. I took a step backward, n scratched my temple with my right hand. Same time, a 9/16 combination wrench hit me in the wrist, open end first. That, hurt. I had laid that wrench up near the governor n it fell into the flywheel n pitched it at me like a baseball. Left a cool scar too.

Wilson wasn't sure about the smell of the Hi-Tack gasket material on the valve cover!
