    My wife sits and reads while I watch RUclips. She just told me that you are the most interesting individual I watch. She said she isn't even interested in tractors so much but you are super easy to watch and she always learns something. You are an interesting fellow and very intelligent. I enjoy watching your videos. I've never been bored or disappointed in anything you do. I look forward to my days off so I can catch up on what you have accomplished.

    Hey JT , I got 2 old model 45 combines that haven't been started in 15 to 20 years , ran when parked , I'm thinking about salvaging the motors on them , they will be good for something, you gave me hope on them when you got this one running, thank for the encouragement! Great video !!!

    When I was a teenager, I fought a 1944 deuce and a half army truck for a whole day before the guy I was buying it from said “maybe it’s a condenser I’ve got one on the workbench”. Son of a gun fired right up and I drove it home., without brakes, of course, and in the dark

    JT: Looking for a project? There’s a guy that took an old gleaner, removed all of the combining stuff, but left the cab, dropped the motor down onto the frame, added a huge snowblower instead of a grain or corn head… and uses it to blow snow. 😂
    You’ve an old combine and a good motor… Between the basket case and your other projects and farming, that’ll keep you busy.
    In all sincerity. I really enjoy your vlogs .. saving that’ll that old iron and farming . Keep ‘em coming and thanks.

    Years ago we got a Perkins engine, mounted it on an old trailer and attached an irrigation pump to it for irrigating crops. We welded a combine fuel tank on the front of the trailer to feed it fuel. . This was back in 1995 and it still pumps water on the crops to this day. You could sell it as an irrigation pump, or as a mobile generator.

    Great video, JT. I love the 1 series MF's. My grandmother had a 150 and my uncles father in law had the 165. Their family and ours went in together to bale all our hay. They both had the perkins engines and man did they run. Never was a huge fan of JD after all those years running Masseys. That is a great running 303 though. Keep the videos coming. I always look forward to the next (especially if it has red in it).

    As you said you had it running 5 yrs ago, so I knew it would start almost immediately, and she did! They were good engines for combines, as you said. Well done on cleaning the points to polished condition, make a lot of difference to get good spark. If you decide to keep it, it would as many have said, make a good genset! You have all that is needed to get it setup or for someone else to continue the story. Nice resolution to story, and if you sell it money in the bank for the Case! See you next week best wishes from UK.

    It's best to use a thin, steel points file and not sandpaper or emery cloth to clean points contacts. Because sandpaper and emery cloth may leave embedded grit and debris between the contacts, causing a faulty connection.

It's a sweet running motor so it would be a shame to send it down the road. UNLESS of course, you can get enough out of it to make it worthwhile. Just me thinking about what I might do.
