Gotta love tractor pulling guys. I am sure they provide a steady source of work for you between what they break and what they want to improve to break next year
Wow that started out pretty nasty looking. Nice work Brian. Hope you've been able to get the tornado wind damage sorted out and the debris gathered up.
We used to fill engine blocks that we had bored to the limit with plaster of pairs. like you said and it is the same with drag cars "It is not going to be run more than a minute and most of that at idle. A top fuel dragster only turns about 900 revolutions from the hammer down to the laundry coming out. Then it is over $10,000 to rebuild for the next round.
Good morning Brian, good to see you back on making content. Certainly looks like a big job . I aways like seeing the Big HBM Action.👍 Have a great weekend. 🇺🇸👍
@@philgarbarini9645 I think the class this one plans to run in is fairly restricted to stock castings so I would guess 2-2.5k hp depending on turbo and pump.
Oh and since you have to put so much work into the old ones , Maybe you should start offering "Billet Heads" Make the whole damn thing out of solid so you don't have to worry about them pesky water jackets :) Them racing types just lover anything with the word billet in it and you can charge more :) Might even call them " bcbloc's"
The "big" pro stock guys have been running billet blocks and heads for a few years now. Not much stock about a 619 Deere in pro stock anymore. And you will find them under hoods of Case/IH, and Minneapolis,Moline, and Allis Chalmers. Like B. says, Limited Pro, and super farm and the more limited classes still require "stock" components.
@@theessexhunter1305 no I don’t recall seeing a new puppy but I am over a month behind on viewing my subscriptions so I maybe just have not gotten to it yet.
Are the older 400 heads from a 404/466 compatible with an 8.1/9.0 block ...not at all familiar with those JD Engines...im only curious..have got a couple 300 series engines around here..but anyway, thanks for the upload feller 👍👍👊
@@elroyelblander6277 Yes and no. The bolt pattern is the same but there are differences in the oil and coolant passages as well as push rod location differences particularly on the 9.0l
@@daleolson3506 John Deere has had plants in Mexico since at least the early 1950s. When they brought the utility tractor production back to the us in the 1990s nobody bought more just because they were American made. During that time kubota made steady inroads into market share because they were cheaper. Few people want to put their money where their mouth is to actually buy American when it costs 20% more due to higher labor, insurance, and government regulation.
@@bcbloc02 I don’t agree. It is greed the quality has gotten worse on their products and profit has gone up. Kubota made inroads in to the market due to quality. I never found kubota to be cheaper. Of coarse this is only my opinion.
@@daleolson3506 For the same hp kubota tends to be cheaper but the tractors also weigh 15-20% less in their basic configurations. The Deeres tend to be more heavy duty when comparing similar performance specs. I know of a landfill and a road mowing service that both run 50-100 tractors. They both went to Kubota around 2000 and they both have switched back to Deere they say because they get more hours of work for less dollars with the Deeres and they track it all pretty close so I don’t doubt it. Even back before Covid I heard complaints of extended back order times on the Kubota parts for large items which often put tractors out of service for many months. The companies that rely on the tractors running everyday won’t tolerate much of that.

If they've got the money................! Glad you're up and running. AGAIN! God Bless!

Great to see you Brian!
The limit is smiles per second 😁 thanks Bryan !
As always very interesting, thanks for showing us
This definitely strikes me as a job where cutting the metal off is free, knowing _what_ to cut off is what costs you.
Good job Brian!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Hope you got your roofs patched back up. Nice you'll be able to make this rough one get to play hard again.
Thank you Brian!
Looks like a great job, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Thanks for sharing Brian
cool stuff
Happy Sunday Brian 😊🛠⚙️👍👍👍👍✌️
very good video brian..thanks for your time
This looks like a fun one.
Did you say what the displacement is and what the expected HP? Thanks for taking time to post this.
@@philgarbarini9645 I think the class this one plans to run in is fairly restricted to stock castings so I would guess 2-2.5k hp depending on turbo and pump.
Fantastic project
Someone hasn't been kind to it - great to get it back in service
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
HI Brian..... When you get a head like that do you ever do anything to clean out the inside passages? Acid wash or dip it in something like that?
@@10swatkins It goes in the hot tank once I am ready to put it together and that cleans it up pretty good.
Most of my old tractors seem to have rubbish in them and rusty valves. I wouldnt mind seeing some of these tractors you play with in action.

@@haroldphipps3457 "stock" my favorite class ;-)
@@Failure_Is_An_Option yep.
The more limited classes turn into more of a chemistry experiment, than a tractor pull.
Very good Brian did you see the new puppy "Finn" pop up in your feed?
@@theessexhunter1305 no I don’t recall seeing a new puppy but I am over a month behind on viewing my subscriptions so I maybe just have not gotten to it yet.
Just curious what was the stock numbers for this motor - displacement, hp, torque. And what is the ballpark it will end up being.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Brian, What is that tool you are using to open up the valve pockets? A spot face tool ? You know me, I might need one. LOL. ----Doozer
Its a twin wing boring bar.

John Deere has gone to Mexico and full on woke. That should improve their profit margin😳🤔
