Change oil and filter with the O Ring every oil change! That sludge you might want to pull you oil pan and take a look! Sludge is not normal! Great video! I have a set of square wrenches! Got them special order from my IH dealer in the 70’s...Of course I didn’t use em lol
@@FarmallFanatic yep! Knew it then but they could get em! I also use to the have the original paint code for the Farmalls got that from a buddy at IH in Chicago!
If any one out there is having a hard time finding 30wt. the John Deere Torq Gard is a low ash high Zinc oil that is designed for long stroke gasoline engines.
There is always somebody who knows more than you do! It’s amazing how much sludge settles out of the oil into that little valley. Shows how much dirt that oil cleaned out of the engine.
Never use the petcock on any of those lol and take note if your buying the Case IH oil they have switched to a different supplier from the Old one IH used FL Viscosity to Shell .. And a lot of dealers are sticking with the FL Viscosity Branded. A lot of guys have been noticing the difference in the color and smell of the new Hytran. I have switched over everything to Mobil oils and use some 30 weight and actually have found the 15w40 to work just fine in the IH gasers since it is a Low ash oil now for the emissions diesels .
@@FarmallFanatic yeah as the story goes used to change oil so often in the old days they were prone to leak is what grandpa claimed is why i was taught to never use them and always went by the book
My dad's tractor his Ford 8n. The oil hasn't been changed in 20 years neither has the air filter or the oil filter. And it still runs. He still uses it
Every time I order something they bring up Covid.... Here in AR we have been 50k at concerts and events for a couple months!!! Media probably keeping that quite.
After seeing your last video about the Low Ash oil I did a little research on it. It is defiantly better to run in older engines. I stopped by Kafferlin's so I could change the oil in the Ford 8N and Super A. Picked up 2 gallons. They only had one gallon so had to get 4 quarts also. I changes the oil and filter in the Ford. It had sat for 10 years. The sludge in the oil filter was thicker than grease. Clean it out and plan on running it for a few hours and change and flush again. I like dealing with the guys at Kafferin's always helpful. I;ve always called them Crescent wrenches. My cousin calls them "All 16tenths"
That's one good thing about my mh 44 is I don't have an oil pan gasket left so I never have to change the oil! I just have to add a little bit every time haha
@@FarmallFanatic you are probably leery about doing it like I would. I’d be scared I would break off one of the bolts but maybe not. If there’s sludge there it could block the passage or it’s making your oil dirty prematurely
Say, did you get two notifications yesterday for the videos I posted or just the one? There's something not quite right going on here. The vid with the 806 has 1.7k views & the one with the 560 has.... 138???? I simply don't get wth is going on. The 806 may be a popular muscle tractor (yuck), but 560 is not what I would consider old news.
My Dad grew up on a dairy farm and you have to be a mechanic, plumber, electrician , carpenter and farmer all in one. . That fool that said you arent a mechanic probably isnt very good!!
@@FarmallFanatic definitely. Really enjoying your channel it brings me back to my childhood days on the farm, driving an old international truck for hay . I was too small to throw it but I was big enough To reach the pedals and steering wheel. Lololol Merica needs to get back to those days and THANK YOU for your service in the military. My Dad , Uncle and a few cousins were vets. !!!!
I've definitely forgotten to put the fill cap back on once or twice. Thankfully they're heavy enough to sit on the frame rail and not fall off while you're driving around 😅
Hi I've allways had rain cap facing back just so it wouldn't catch. Never had a problem with fumes from the tractor. You call your wrench a crescent wrench and I call it an adjustable I've heard both terms just thought I'd tell you. I was wondering on your oil if it says 8 and your putting 7 or 7.5 maybe after starting oil remains in oil filter therefore needs the rest till 8? Just a thought have a good night thanks your video.
Using a vice grips will bugger up the bolt of the Farmall and next time have a hard time putting a wrench on .You are a Farmall Pro right .cjd wash state 👍
I am pleased you used the existing bucket, I think you would have made a big mess using the non existent one lol. I like the design of the foot peddle going to the starter soleniod, it looks like the holes have worn on the bracket and as a quick fix you could weld some washers on the outside of the holes on the bracket. Non existing washers would not work :-)
Oil sludge never hurts an IH. The best IH I ever saw was the one my grandfather parked in the shed. He'd start it from time to time. IH couldn't stay out of the Deere way. Always like the videos here. I'm open minded - barely. Eaglegards...
Love the Farmall M, cool looking tractor. My neighbor has a Farmall for sale. Its listed as a 1970 International on FB Market Place. It looks like the Cub with a square front grill. Did they still make the Cub in the '70s??. I'm tempted to buy it just to say "I got me a Farmall". He's only asking $2200 for it and it looks pretty nice.
It took you 15 mins to figure out how the thumb wrench worked. Lol. Hahahahahaha. What a mechanic. Lol. What happens on the farm stays on the farm. Lol.
Fun fact: you can get your pulley re-done to factory spec by the company in Tennessee that bought the original machinery. It's made from sheets of straw pulp "paper", pressed together like plywood and riveted by reallly long rivets. Paperpulleys dot com. I happened across the website by accident.
Hi FF! Big Red...the legendary M...great looking old tractor. Like you I change the oil in my 140 at least once a year as well as the filter and gasket. Mine has a filter and gasket like yours just not that tall. No doubts here you take care of those old boys. You can look at them and tell that. For the benefit of the youngsters out there, here's the original "Disco Duck"...enjoy! 😊ruclips.net/video/97RjuC9YeXg/видео.html

I would put 8 quarts because the extra half a quart will fill up the filter housing if you don't already because that's what I do on my Tractor.
Yep
Thanks.

U have a very comprehensive toolkit

Thanks bud just bought my grandpa’s 1948
Good year 👍
the sound of a well tuned H or M was music to my ears on.the farm. non detergent oil sludges up faster than heavy detergent oil
Interesting
An old mechanic once told me many years ago oil is the best maintenance mechanic you will ever find 🤔💪💪👍

@@bustersmith5569 no. But my dad incest that it's running good. And he will change it when he's ready too.
Thank you for gas cap recall now the gas will stay in and no fires thank you👍
Nice work keeping up on the Big Red maintenance. BOOM!
Hated vehicle maintenance in the Army, but now that I own these...👍
Best maintained machine is fresh oil
that started up nice!
Warm lube is good lube

I'm surprised your not using the proper wrenchs when changing oil👍
I know someone that has them
Brings back memories
Oil change is life.
Boom! 💪❤️
good video man good job
Sometimes the copper washer between the filter housing and the through bolt needs to be changed after a few years if oil changes.

Hahaha had leaky hydraulics one time like that
Keep the fluids changed and checked.
Good day Yrs ago at work there was a fellow who would run motor while draining oil out, he thought it got more out. What does filter cost for M Thanks
Like 15 bucks I think
Was that snake oil
Yep lol
Us seasoned IH professionals have special oil pan X-ray vision. We don't need no petcocks. Lol!
🤣
A farmer has to be a mechanic, if he wants ..to make it.
No choice
Have you thought about unbolting the part under the filter to clean the sludge if there’s any?
Yeah I've thought about it
@@FarmallFanatic you are probably leery about doing it like I would. I’d be scared I would break off one of the bolts but maybe not. If there’s sludge there it could block the passage or it’s making your oil dirty prematurely
You forgot that you have to add 1quart more for the filter. An M takes 9 quart when changing the filter. Been changing oil in an M for over 55 years.
Yea it does make a difference
No 544/340 to show off?
The only reason for the rain cap backwards is when you tow it down the highway the flap isn’t collecting water and bugs 😂
Just changed mine yesterday ih 300u used rotella t1 30 filter at farm n fleet. Nearest Ih dealer is 15 miles further.

I start it up and run it, and before I take it to the field, I will check it again because that filter takes about a 1/2 a quart
