- Today I'm splitting the Farmall Super C, removing first the front bolster and wheels, then the engine. Then it's on to tearing the engine down to remove the crankshaft, to send it to the machine shop to be ground.

The great thing about these old tractors is that they were built to be serviced by the farmer. The new tractors may be more efficient as far as fuel economy goes and more ergonomic BUT they are built so that they can only be serviced by an authorized dealer. The old tractors tend to last longer because there is no computer controls that can break down.
@@vincentwalker2081 It's deliberate - JD won't admit it, but servicing their customers equipment has become a huge revenue stream for them in the last decade, rivaling what they make actually selling tractors.

Hey Pete just wanted to say thank you I enjoyed your shows you tell Miss Hillary and the family God bless you all bye-bye
Thanks Pete, I was changing the crank seal and had no idea how to get the pulley off
Funny! I store all my oily rags near my shop wood stove!
great video Pete
Lmao @ rag storage
I love how you anticipated what the viewers were thinking when they saw you wiping up the gas with the rag. I laughed out loud when you said you'd store them under your shop heater. Well done Pete Well Done.
I’m glad he suggested that too, I need job security. People have been far too safe lately! 🚒
Yep, hilarious.
"Underneath the shop heater" 😂😂😂 You snuck that one in right under everyone's radar!
Yes, that was quick, wasn’t it?
I like to keep my greasy rags on top of the heater, but to each their own. 🤣
He is one wry guy!
Where else would you put oily rags? Just a matter of Pete's sense of humor.
@@vincewoolley6774 yes Pete definitely has a good sense of humor and i actually like his joke's!!!!
Your videos are always interesting, especially the tractor restorations. Obviously you are a quick study and gained the knowledge of a master mechanic with many years of experience. The ability to learn and retain information is a gift and has served you well through college and both of your careers. You also have a good grasp of how to create demonstration videos.
Well done.
Pete, the wealth of knowledge that you have when it comes to restoring old tractors is just awesome I love watching these videos. Thanks Pete.
Pete, your videos have made me a Farmall fan for sure. Just got done with my first (1943 H). Sitting for 40 years and running like a top now. I think I am going to want a C for my next project! Keep 'em coming!!
I love watching the show, keep up the good work, and thank you very much.
I was amazed at how simple those engines are. They run forever too it seems.
It doesn't look simple to me. That's why I am so thankful for having a good mechanic! Mice got into the bellhousing? For real?
How on earth do you organize all of the pieces that you have taken apart? Nobody has that many zip-lock bags that are large enough. Are all of the pieces placed in organized bins? Perhaps show us what all of this looks like in the next video. Great episodes. Love your videography. What editing SW do you use and what camera? ZV1? GoPro?
Normally when you’re building or dismantling an engine you have a big table that you lay and sort parts on. They make plastic trays that help organize things such as bolts, pistons, connecting rods, valves, valve springs, rocker arms, and push rods.
Wow...I have always said, knowledge is worth money. Enjoying this tear down, how did mice get in side? I have heard the parts names before, never knew how all connected. Enjoying this Pete! I wouldn't store gas soaked rags near the heater though. lol! We have to be on our toes for this one!
Well I sat here most of the morning, constantly checking YT for this video. I knew it was coming and almost couldn't wat ! but alas it came and I was in hog heaven so to speak. love watching you tear into an engine pro-ject Pete. thanks so much for taking the time to share it with us. and to in many ways teach us as you go along. really enjoyable thanks again. God speed. ECF.
Sad part of doing a rebuild like this is that the old worn parts can be of better quality than the available replacements.
Being a 75 year old woman in Central Florida I don’t have a clue about the innards of engines, however, I truly enjoy watching all the videos. Great videos.
Your not 75 years old, your 75 years young. It’s all about attitude. Have a great 😊 day.
@@harrisonchevy4452 I’m 75 old/young whatever....but happy to have made it to 75 since not everyone does.
It's always a delight to hunker down in the shop on a rainy or snowy day. Thanks for taking us along, Pete.
it's a beautiful day here in CT........I have horse stalls to muck out and I'm sitting here watching Pete restore his Super C. We don't even own a Farmall......my husband is a New Holland guy and we have a couple of those. Also when he works on them, he doesn't bother to narrate, so I only ever get a partial education. Really appreciate your tutorials Pete!!!!!!
Looking forward to the rebuild with a morning hot cup of coffee. Methodical, logical, everything in its place and a joy to watch.
Happy to see another restoration happening for these classic hard-working IH tractors! Wishing you all the best on the project, and all the parts you require.
Good video. That's exactly what is needed. You have a good way of explaining it to people. You keep it interesting. Like I said earlier, I've been a mechanic for over 30 years and I understand how this goes. But the way you explain it helps the ones who are new to restoring tractors. You have a natural talent of talking to people and not at them. Thanks for sharing.
Pete is a great teacher and loves to share his knowledge which makes this channel so fun to watch.
@@billroberts3864 its what makes Pete a great person. He is willing to share. Not too many like that nowadays.
Pete, thank you for showing how to remove a pulley without destroying it!! Too many others destroy a usable component, due to carelessness. Thank you again for your videos that are enjoyable to watch, informative and intuitive. Your editing is impressive to say the least and sense of humor, timeless! Thank you for your dedication.
I love your videos
Love the sarcasm! 😏👍👍👍
Great video. Love all the detail. Just realized my uncle had one of these. Keep the content coming.
I don't know what i like more the wrenching, farming or working with your animals ,
Ezra needs to be more vigilant on his mouser duty’s
Love seeing an old useful tractor being "make whole" and hopefully "looking pretty" with new paint and decals.
Was waiting to see if you had a mouse house in the flywheel housing. Don't know how, but they always find a way in. My 140 had same problem. Take cover off, clean it out, spray it down, put it back together. Every Spring.
Pete that’s what you call stripping an engine down to parade rest. It will work better now that the rebuild is underway, one just has to do these things from time to time. Great videos. Keep on farming
So how does a mouse get into a bell housing? And where is it now?I learned that I had some tools that I had no idea what they were, until this video. I held the flashlight thru an engine rebuild and now I understand what was going on. Very interesting! 😮
What's the deal? How come we haven't heard about the MD dropping a Valve? What does that mean? Dont understand how You Tub. Pete looks like you, but is itd really you?
Enjoyed your video Pete. I had to chuckle a little bit when you called the clutch the pressure plate and the pressure plate the clutch. I was thinking to myself " he's messing with someone" . Lol
Sorry Pete, I fell asleep about 1/2 way. Had to come back and see what you did while I was out.
Great job 👍👌
Hi Pete, enjoyed your tear down of the Farmall Super C tractor 🚜. You make it look so simple, and your so organized, just amazing. Great video and I look forward to seeing you on the next one.
Thank God for the rain.
Thanks for the detailed breakdown and for giving the real time of work. Most people dont add the important detail.
You sure have a lot of patience while you’re working on your tractors does your wife agree with me that you’re very patient man ?
So glad you are restoring your tractor, it will look great when you are finished 😀
Nice work! I have made liner pullers before out of all thread and key stock worked like a charm lol! Can’t imagine those being hard to get out on that little farmall, but you never know.
Thanks for the video Pete. They are simple machines to work on but still take a lot of know how to do it.
Thank you Mr. Peter. I love these tractor restoration videos. Love them... i'll rewatch them several times. Love it.
I always store my oil rags on top of my pile of old newspapers in between my fire place and barrel of black powder.
Even tho i will probably never use this information, It interests me. I love how you know what every name for everything is. This is vital information, Im sure. I just love watching you take everything apart making it all perfect and putting it back together. So cool.
Why can’t cars be this easily dismantled and fixed?? 😭
My wife stores the kitchen rags and towels on top of the toaster oven LOL
Looks like the Queen of England is going to meet her maker!!!
Loving the restoration already Pete thanks for bringing us along!!! 👍
Caught that Pete. Underneath the shop heater.... Very funny.
It's amazing where you find mouse nests... It's surprising that they don't cause more problems then they do
I miss my super a farmall wish never sold 😪 seeing you do this super c reminds me of the days when we restored my super a.
Great video, I love you working on your tractors! ( If you want to improve your video’s to the next level add ten seconds of cows to each video, my grandson loves the cows!!!😍)
Neat video seeing how this engine comes apart. I am curious if the terminology is different, what Pete said was a clutch and pressure plate I have always seen reversed in automotive applications. I always called the fiberous disc the clutch disc and the forks that apply pressure to the disc the Pressure Plate.
Not a big deal either way just something that stood out to me.
Dude one of the best set of detailed videos you have created. Thank you Sir for all the knowledge!
I like the mechanic videos, mostly because I'm pretty confident Pete won't be burning flies while I eat my lunch.
Pete, are you talking about Dave Richards from Stean Powered Machine Shop? For some reason I thought you were in PA but I see your address is NY. Thanks for the videos.
Yes, it’s that David Richards.
Underneath the shop heater huh? Funny man LOL
Thanks Pete. Going to try pulling my Super A pulley off Tuesday.
I like learning about the Farmalls and the International Harvester tractors. I watched another guy redo an old John Deere on his channel. I know you don't like those but, I like to see the differences. He didn't do as good as you do explaining things.
Im just amazed you can remember how to put it all back together. Im sure i would be left with a useless hunk of metal that was formerly known as a tractor 🚜 🤔 lol
Pete just watches his videos in reverse. Easy Peasy
Very enjoyable video. Thanks.
Great video. Having the torch ready for the pulley removal is like computer repair. Just place a hammer where the computer can sense it, smash a can with the hammer, and wow, things fix fast. I look forward to this refirb, she is such a pretty tractor that she deserves a refit. Have a great day.
"Hi, I'm Pete. Welcome to Just a Few Acres Farm". That line always gets the serotonin pumping.
You do a very beautiful job restoring those old girls.
Really like how old tractor technology dictates that the engine gas to be structural member too! … everybody has to pitch in! … just like in F1.
those little moose get into everything
Thanks Pete!! 😊 Lookin good keep up the great work!!
Great work Pete. I really do enjoy watching your mechanic work. I am still amazed at the extent of your mechanical knowledge. Have a great day.
I am super happy you have decided to tackle a Super C rebuild. I have one that needs the same treatment. I will be studiously examining each and every video in this series. Also anxiously waiting for the "detailed" video on how the 2 point hitch is all set up and works. (I need one).
Yes, yes, I am learning a lot for my imaginary tractor rebuild. Just living vicariously through RUclips.
Great video, simple reliable machinery.
Pete…….two words…..ratcheting wrenches!!! LOL
You mean "specialized skinned knuckle devices," correct?
Enjoy watching you dismantle. Good luck.
That IS a simple engine, especially compared to the MD. Keep up the good work.
If it were me doing it, I would be getting nervous. It's all going too easy... That other shoe is out there...
no corny Dad jokes?
Pete!!!!
One more thing.......
Watch out for copper head gaskets!!
Or was it composite gaskets?
Or composite gaskets with the wrong goop??
Whichever it was/is....I'm sure you'll be on the lookout.
R
What ever you do don't use a 10 mm socket for a sacrificial item, too many get lost without any help. All kidding aside, you won't need 10 mm wrenches on Farmalls. I grew up with F- 30, C, H, M, MD, 706, and 806.
Wow, Pete !! I am so glad you know what you're doing. Layer after layer after layer of all those parts, the right order, taking the pieces off, and off and off..... better yet how in the cosmos to get all those pieces with the correct fasteners back together again. Seems to me that all the kings men to get the tractor back together. I need a nap just by watching this video.
Its actually not to difficult...you gain a memory of where things go after you've done it enough times...I know my dad probably coulda built some of the old diesel engines in his sleep if he had to...but then he'd been a mechanic for nearly 45 years.
@@robreesor5011 That seems incredible to me. Your dad was awesome. I love to watch people do what they do well and are happy when they get a chance to work I hope your dad loved his work.
@@clairestaffieri4398 no he didnt love his work...it was just that after a while...work...but after the military in the 40's he didnt wanna be a barber/tattooist and felt that being a mechanic would offer a more stable job specially in the operating engineers union....but dam after 45 years that ole fart could still belt out pictures of any cartoon charator you asked him to and in seconds...from Olive Oil to Daffy Duck and Mickey Mouse...all of them. After he passed in 94 we were cleaning out the house and stumbled across a treasure trove of tattoo print sheets and all his old tattoo guns and powdered inks...I forget now how much we got for that stuff...but the second our local tattoo shop owner saw that stuff his started to shake...asked where I had gotten it from and told him it was from my dads estate he'd been a tattooist in the army in the 40's and his eyes just bugged out...there were I think 3 guns and two of the motors to run them and about every color of real indian ink you could imagine..mand around 50 sheets with old school tattoo proofs on Canvas.
Hey Pete! I watched all your videos on this tractor, you do beautiful work. I am new to Farmall restorations, what size is that bearing seperator and the 2 jaw puller you are using? I need to buy those. I am at the point of pulling my balancer off my 52 Super C. I know you can rent them but I have a Farmall A and BN I will be working on after I get my Super C back together. Thanks Pete.
Another awesome video!!! You're doing something awesome. BTW, I have a 404.
Still loving that stand you guys made for splitting the tractor, definitely gonna have to build one soon! Definitely will be useful on the 56 International Utility 300 Im currently restoring. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you for the step by step tutorial....much of the tractor engine is very similar to my 48 Ford 226 motor. High compression high torque low speed
Found your channel last night. Been marathoning ever since. Game of Thrones is for suckers! Just watched the vid where you explained the the history of your enterprise whilst installing the gauge. Mesmerizing stuff! You were meant for this. I'm thirsty. Keep 'em conin'! And here's hoping you have a comfortable retirement. 😉
Pete,
I really enjoy your videos and all the great "how to ideas" that you show. I really envy your little farm, you have a great small farm and you are so enthused doing your daily jobs.
I have always liked the Farmall and the International tractors. I used to do land work on my friend's farm with those types of tractors. My friend"s farm has now grown so large that he now milks 3000 cows and has equipment that is all Greek to me these days. He has four sons and they all wanted to farm so the whole operation had to grow, and it went from 65 cows to the current 3000. Anyway, he had a Super M, 560, 656, and 756, all of which I used to drive. Really miss operating those old tractors! Don't have the room to collect the actual size tractors so I am in to collecting the 1/16 models.
I watched your restoration work on your MD and was wondering if you will be restoring the 656 or 756?
Keep up the great videos!
Pete !! UDAMAN!! Love watching , makes me wanna get my hands dirty :)
Greetings from southern Indiana Pete. Did you and your father build the splitting stand? It looks and works excellent. Great job !!
I absolutely love these mechanical videos. So much info you share that help us all understand how our equipment work. Thank you, Pete.
I Enjoy your videos. I like the rebuilds. Very informative and you keep it interesting, like all your videos. Keep up the good work and the dad jokes 😂
Pete I’m not a farmer in California. however, I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work…
As much as I have enjoyed you tearing this down and showing us the crankshaft and how easy it is to work on I’m ready to watch you do farm work rather than working on old tractors so I don’t know if it’s the weather this forcing your videos or your activities aside from the farm but if you’re talking about tractors on the next video, i’m skipping it Pete LOL😬❣️❣️♥️♥️ Love your channel and have a great week❣️❣️
Excellent video Pete :) that Farmall Super C amazing take apart to also Clutch do understand needs replaced and great information you share there too ! Remember when did 1963 McCormick International B414 4 cylinders deisel fuel motor at my workplace for late dad also guy ran shop said that easy motor take apart like GM 4 cylinders of gas type and was true! Only one problem on motor was hard take was Crankshaft Pulley was one had crank part and special bolt socket to help get off with puller too ! But was fun job to do too!
Gee this is good content Pete
It is a nice change & I think balance’s out your channel from livestock winter & spring, harvest.
Growing up on a farm where all repair work was done in house then getting my drivers license, getting given an old bomb of a car & fixing it to road worthy condition attacking the project the same way you do which is how you know works for you. With that mindset mechanicing is sooo much fun!!!!
Sadly for me choosing to commercially dairy farm it has forced us to “specialise” & I don’t have the time to enjoy maintenance like we used to growing up.
Hi my name is Jean-Guy I live in Joliette near Montreal I own the same tractor 1954 Super C and I'm going to do the same Work thank you to teach me great job can wait for the next video I watch you for a long time thank you again
I am also an over 70y/o lady who enjoys very much watching you take the motor apart piece by piece. I have heard of most of the parts but not seen them or had it explained how they function. What their purpose is. Maybe I will be a little smarter next time I have to take my car in for a mysterious rattle! As much as I enjoyed the video, hopefully animals come soon! Oh, and please show how you put it back together. That’s going to be even more interesting!
I had my IH 340 Utility done a few years back and the Crank had to be sent to a professional machine shop and be welded back up then ground down. Was just like putting in a brand new crank.
I love your videos pete i dont miss any of your posts thank you for making my days
Thank you so very much for doing these videos. I'm learning so much about engines /'parts. I have a 1960 Chev C20 farm truck that runs but needs to be restored from top to bottom and you sure explain thing well. I have a partner that helps to explain further things as you go through the tractor engine
