    Uhhh, how else are you supposed to remove a cotter pin that's almost rusted away other than with side cutters? What does it matter if you're replacing it like you should anyway?
    Wait until he finds out sometimes you cant get it out at all and have to take the castle nut off anyway cutting the cottter pin in the process.

      I do like to try them all with my expensive Snap-on cotter pin puller and 8oz ball pein hammer before I reach for end nippers which I find give a better twist and pull than side cutters. Impact on the castle nut is normal where rust is involved. That Snap-on cotter pin puller is the ideal farmers friend for threading twine through baler needles!

    Your ever-deepening repair of the tractor is reminiscent of a story (probably apocryphal) about Henry Royce (of Rolls-Royce fame) trying to repair his garden gate. What should have been a simple screw-tightening exercise ended with him redesigning the grindstone he was going to regrind the tip of the screwdriver with. By then it was too dark to continue.

Recently helped a guy get needle roller bearings for a John Deere that haven't been made in decades. If I can ever be of help (and probably save you a significant amount of $$) we can find a way to get my email address to you.

    • @castvee8
      @castvee8 4 года назад +1

      @grafvonstauffenburg All possibly true. But my thoughts were what if he gets this thing going, Wes gets paid and the owner uses it for a few months and something else breaks. Sure not Wes' problem but what a waste to have sunk all that work into something so obsolete and worn out and always wonder what's next? I like seeing restorations and work on the old stuff but if parts are crazy expensive or you just can't find them would not something more common be a smarter move? Maybe in fact there are lots of these lingering around, but I would like to be sure if it was mine. I looks like a fun piece of old iron to play with and drive around, but if it is going back to doing real work will it last?

    @tiredoldmechanic1791 4 года назад +13

    The shafts used to be made sharp corners where the diameters changed so bearings didn't need a radius but they found that they needed a radius to reduce the stress at the step on the shaft so all bearings started to be made with a radius to fit shafts. More of the bearings with a radius were used so even though it cost slightly more to make them, it was cost effective to make all bearing with a radius because the radiused bearing can be used in place of the non-radiused bearing but the non-radiused can't be used on a shaft that has a radius at the step.

    At the start of this one, I know you are going to get this one back running well but here is my suggestion. Drag it out into an open field at least 500ft from the bush and over 1/4 mile from any structures. Pack a large quality of high explosives around the machine - none of that ANFO or other low grade stuff but good high nitro dynamite or RDX/C4 - light fuse and then take to the bush. Wait for the sound of freedom - nobody will ever have to wrench on that again :)

      It's strange how many mechanical and or automotive words are so totally different. For instance I'd say boot, wing, bonnet, gear stick & petrol whereas you guys would say trunk, fender, hood, stick shift & gas.
      The split pin / cotter pin thing is just the tip of the iceberg. The differences have always fascinated me.

      Yeah those pullers can get you in trouble. I had a tapered gear on a hay baler that I couldn't get to release. Destroied a couple pullers, a few knuckles and who knows what else. Hours later and a lot of frustration, I finally decided to cut the shift in half and head to the John Deere store, but lunch first. I stood up, took about 5 steps away (third puller still under tension) and then kaboom rattle rattle rattle. It flew off and into the door jam. Shure glad, and very fortunate, I had moved!

    Unbelievable amount of complexity for anyone to figure this OC46 steering clutches and drive units .Really fun for me to watch and makes for a very good video of your exceptional skills. The Take a way here for most people is to NOT spend one dime on parts or time on this overhaul because it probably will fail or have a very short life. This should have been junk by most owners. Your or other shops will have between 50 to 100 hours against this machine at $150 per hour or $15,000 plus $2000 and other parts. Koodo’s for You and Thanks. Everybody else run. Can’t wait for finish of and loader re attached.

    I have to say something here. Not to criticize anybody but possibly so that they will see this do something different in their future videos. I watched a video from Hamiltonville where you flew in to help them try to save an old excavator. The guy who did most of the talking (chattering & giggling) made it impossible to enjoy. He drove me nuts with his inane stupid giggling. I even said something to the effect "more work and less giggling". Anyway, my point here is that your videos are so much more enjoyable because you are silly. Everything has some meaning and most generally you explain what you say so that there is no mystery. Thanks for all of your hard work. I would love to live close enough to you that I might be of some help. I'm 80 years old and have a lot of mechanical knowledge. I attended General Motors School in Van Nuys, Ca. for a year while appenticing at a Buick agency. Also, I learned a ton from my Dad who seemed to know everything. He was well taught by folks along the way and he passed it down to me. I, in turn have passed it to my Son.

    Unsure what the guy's issue with side cutters and cotter pins was. Inexperience, probably. That school bus shop I mentioned to you where I worked; didn't allow reuse of a cotter pin. I can't remember any of us who DIDN'T use side cutters to remove them. I mean they make a cotter pin removal tool. But, even the Snap-On one is a steaming load. We all used side cutters. We were all professionals, too! Very odd.
