    If anyone is wondering how the power poistons get installed into the engine. I was told the raised bump goes towards the valves. With the arrow pointing to the front of the tractor. Super excited to have ours all out together. Great video gave me the confidence to redo our cub.

    Happily married man here but I just have to say you are such a cutie and it is a pleasure to watch how capable and knowlegable you are at tractor repair and maintenance. Your dad must be the proudest father on all of planet earth. It is such a blessing that you and him have done all this together. I worked with my dad for 20 years in the car business and it was the greatest time of my life. Now that he is gone I have lost that wonderful joy spending all those years with him. Never take a moment of these years for granted and have him with you in every video you can so you'll have hours and hours of him on video. I'll be ordering parts for my 8n I just got running since I bought it 6 years ago shortly after my father passed away. Thanks to your fabulous videos I've started to feel the urge to work on machines again. I love strong women such as my mom and my wife so watchine you work is a pleasure. Great videos , keep up the good work. 👍👍💪🚜

    I love old tractors. I don’t have any. When I was a kid I used to work for a dairy farmer for free . My Father loaned me out .....and in return we received free whole milk and some excavation services. I learned about work , and farm family life. .....and of course...I got to operate tractors. This young lady reminds me so much of those earlier times. Ambitious, bright...cut from the family fiber that knows no boundaries......they built the Sherman tanks , B-24 bombers, and repaired / rebuilt the Navy during WW I I . Clearly, a good speaker and teacher.....well done ! Excellent

    Finally a channel that deals with what is my equipment sheds. A nice coherent explanation of what to do without "he haw" antics and using tools that the average person actually might have....or at least afford. Yes I noticed she is an attractive woman, but there is no shortage of them on RUclips....but there is a shortage of folks offering tutorials of this high quality.

    Great video,
    In my opinion, Most people do not realize the amount of effort and skill it takes to put a video like yours together. Cameras, Lighting, Audio, Synchronization , Plus putting all those clips together in post. A ton of work. A completely different skill set. It might have took longer to produce the video than to rebuild the engine. Bravo.
    great job on both. You have a new subscriber.

    Very good I was in the trads for forty three years. you are one the best I seen . Most of the guys have a hammer in one hand and a screwdriver in the other beating and praying on the parts . I like that you taped all the holes. Most hakes do not under stand that the threads have to be clean to get the right torque along with new bolts. Keep up the good work.

    Boy that brought back old memories. I still have one in the barn. It's been there for about 35 years.
    We used it to plant our 3 gardens. We had middle busters & sweep plows. It only has about 10 HP.
    I remember when I was about 6-7 years old I had to drive it while my parents walked beside the tractor pulling a trailer as we hand picked corn.
    Your tractor is in great shape. I just wonder how much it would cost to have one brought back to show room shape?
    Thanks for your talent in showing us the work you did. There aren't many young ladies that has your talent and ability.

    Rachel, you made that look easy. I've always liked rebuilding engines and the satisfaction of hearing them fire up when you're done. Nice video, not "too much" detail. One word of advice, when you remove and reinstall the pistons, I like to put a piece of rubber fuel line on the rod bolts so I don't nick the crankshaft. When I'm ready to rebuild my '46 Ford 2N I'll check your website for parts and advice that I may need.

    Beautiful tractor and gorgeous mechanic,watching Rachel messing with those spark plug wires reminds me of the first time i did a plug job when i was 12 years old in the early 80s, i had a 1957 Toyota land cruiser and i grew up in a farm so i would use it to cruise around to the lake and go fishing , hunting etc.
    My dad bought me the plugs and new wires,first of i didn't gap them, second, i pulled all the wires off and never labeled or made any diagram whatsoever, man, once it came time to turn it on it was bucking and jumping like a bull at a rodeo,lol, my dad said "did you put those wires were they were before???" i told him i didn't know i had to,i just kinda guess where they went, ha ha ha ha

    I really enjoyed your video. Well done! We had a Farmall Cub when I was growing up. It had a complete set of accessories for it; mower, blade, plow, harrow, disc, etc. I learned to drive on it and I also learned a lot of basic mechanics on it. I had no idea you could actually get high performance pistons for them. Wow! What I really like about old tractors is they seem to last forever; they don't rust out and they are low tech, basic mechanicals.

    And adding the new part date installed also helps with keeping up maintainance records and replacement intervals for wearable items like valve guides seals valve seats and rings bearings and pistons and sleeves ,clutch pressure plates and governor parts and carb rebuild dates too once it's done record it and pass it along when you sell it or keep it with the unit.

    @jasonsimmerman2653 5 лет назад +1

    Helpful hint. When honing a block save yourself some headache and also protect the crank by laying a rag over the journals. Same can be said for the camshaft too if it's in the sling area from the hone if you go below the bore. You'll still have to clean everything up really well (I like brake cleaner), but using a rag will keep 99% of the crud off the journal and associated parts.

    My grandfather owned one. He used it mainly for cultivating and running a single disc harrow to make field drainage ditches. He also owned a (I think '53 ) Ferguson that he used mainly for disc harrowing and for pulling a sled for transporting bags of fertilizer out to a field and for potatoe harvest. Everything else he used a mule for planting corn.

    The only person I know that can do the work and give detailed information at the same time. I don't think any man can do that. By the way, on cars and trucks, we usually replace the oil pump even when doing a light rebuild since the pan is already off and it made decent oil pressure any way. Is that a good rule of thumb for tractors as well to just go ahead and install a new oil pump?

    First of all, you went right to work and skipped the 30 min babbeling that is so common in the beginning of theese kind of videos. I have heared so many like " I was born 1975 and I purchased my first tractor 1987 because I live on a farm. I like to work on my tractor better then going to school so I got bad grades in maths and history. Now I decided to make this video because I got a camera for Christmas. I'm not a good filmer and I'm just going to put the camera on top of a box so it might be hard for you to see anything, but anyway, today I'm going to show you guys how to change an oilfilter on my tractor...

  • @planefloat
    @planefloat 5 лет назад +1

    Nice step by step rebuild. Hint: Use plastic boots over the protruding rod bolts to prevent nicking the crank journals when installing the pistons. Also shop rags under the cylinder bores when breaking the glaze. Use a feeler gauge under the straight edge when checking cylinder head flatness. Flip it over and measure again to insure straightness of the straight edge! If not, average the two readings. I'm not sure if IH gives an acceptable gap. Is there a way to pre-oil that little engine before start-up? Do the pop-up pistons work well? Sometimes the gain may be marginal due to obstructing cylinder filling of the intake charge like the old Ford flatheads....
