    Fun seeing three generations working together. Your son will tell his children about working on the Farmall with his dad and grandfather one day. But I’d love to be a fly on the wall when he tells them that their gramps was a social influencer back in the day! 🤣

    I remember years ago, when my grandpa was still alive, the Farmall A had a bad ring gear. I was in Ag Mechanics in Vocational school. My dad, grandpa and I split the A in the barn, and took the flywheel over to grandpa's brother's to heat and put the new ring gear on. This video reminded me of that memory, those many, many years ago. That A is now at my cousin's place, but still in the family. Those stands for the front half are GENIUS! Well done, dad! Blessings from Ohio! Here's to a better 2022!

As usual you are a great 👍 teacher. My problem, old guy problem, is retention is weak. So I have to see several times before things start to sink into my mind. Haha, take care, see you in the next video.

    This one brought back memories. It's been around 50 years ago since I and my Dad split a tractor. We sure could have used those stands back then. Our method involved an A-frame and chain hoist to support the front half, and wood blocks and screw jacks for the rear. Those stands your Dad came up with look so much safer.
    May you be haveing a a wonderful Happy New year

    You might be able to create 1" thick adapter plates for your other tractors as necessary, so you don't have to drill more holes in your base mounting flange. Then you can attach the adapters to the tractor and bring the jack up to the adapted holes all ready to go. Excellent tool!

  • @rhekman

    17:40 Thanks Pete for the transmission & final drive walk through. Obviously you could go into way more detail, but I'd mention that 5th gear is 1:1 or direct drive, where the input and mainshafts are locked together, and the countershaft just spins free (still splash lubricating everything).
    It's remarkable to me how smooth these units are with all the straight cut gears and sliders. On our Ms and H, I even got decent at rev-matching to shift from 4th to 5th on the fly.
    On a modern manual transmission, the gears would be in constant mesh and you'd have separate dog-toothed clutches & synchronizers that would engage each gear. There's something to appreciate about, simple, rugged, & reliable.

    Great demo on how the transmission works. I have a 1952 Super A that I would love to restore, however I'm 79 yrs, don't have space to dedicate to the project, have never done anything like this and with a heart that is not as strong as it once was.....well, best left to a son-in-law. So I get to restore a tractor of the same vintage via your videos. Thank you so much. I anxiously await each new session. The Farmall letter series and the John Deer letter series tractors are all that is needed to handle all the tasks required to make a living on a small farm as long as one does not have to amortize large debt and they enjoy the 7 day work week on the farm. I can't think of any better life. As my Grandmother Peterson used to say, "Donald, only pray for good health for yourself and others. If you have good health then you can work and if you can work you don't have any problems!"
    I have learned all we really require is someplace warm and dry to live, enough to eat and something interesting to do. For recreation there are many opportunities to learn more about your chosen occupation and science, geology, history, etc. It's always nice to be able to put the old flyrod together and give the trout, bass or bluegills a chance to keep one humble, eh. I can't think of anything else that is required for a satisfying life.
    You seem to have found your own Shangri-la. All that said, there are times of things beyond ones control and a little bit of luck helps but all in all, you seem to have found peace and a rewarding life.
    I wish you and your family a Happy and healthy New Year.
    Thanks for providing an interesting and refreshing look at a healthy way of life.

Most mechanics head to the snap-on van for specialist tools; you just ask your dad. Good luck with the project, I look forward to the videos.
