From what I have observed, everything is going very nicely and you are headed toward a well done rebuild. Thanks once again! Nick, North West Farmer (Oregon)
I'm impressed again, just like when I watched the cylinder head rebuild . You do have a knack for making jobs look do able for an average mechanic and fun too. Your sure going to have a nice tractor. I wish more people would fix them up instead of part them out. I've bought several (letter series) to keep them from being parted out. 2 were even from scrap yards.
The thing is these jobs are doable for the average mechanic, they just don't know it. I've seen a lot of mechanics not even try because they don't know how to do the particular job, and all I could ever think is "yeah I didn't know how the first time I did it either." One of the most important lessons I ever learned was you don't have to remember everything as a rule, you don't have to know everything, The important thing to know is where to find the information that you need. In one of the previous videos he shows the exploded schematic. that is realistically all you need to put it back together. He also is right at the end, you start putting back the things you know where they go and process of elimination will finish the rest. A few years back we rebuilt an entire engine and we just had every bolt in a coffee can and got everything back where it belonged through "that wouldn't make sense right diameter too long though" and just used a bit of common sense like that to get the entire thing back together and into the truck it belonged in. Also ton of respect saving the old tractors, there's no sense scrapping them, 90% of them I've seen going to the scrap yard were still good working tractors with very little wrong with them.
@@charlesmayberry2825 I agree with every thing in your email. although maybe not with tractors but with car dash area and interior parts I always have screws left over and I think oh well If it's all together and its not a motor or something important than I'll just leave it. but like the valves seats he ground with 3 different angles . with those new way cutter > I didn't understand why three different angles and did he just reset the same cutter or was there 3 different cutters? He 'has a lot of nice tools that I've watched him use and a nice shop too
@@janbill79 it is a very nice shop, with good tooling, they are different cutters that he used, the idea of three angles is actually twofold. It improves flow by creating a "less extreme flow angle" what this amount to is that it helps the air move around the surface that now has better deflection angles. So think of it as air going around a rounded surface versus a hard angle. The second part is it actually drastically effects wear. Doing the angles this way is a bit of an old hat now, these days they do multi step angles that are customized to the engine, a good example is Harley increased their air flow on one of their engines 53cfm just by changing the grind profiles. A straight 45° is a pretty inefficient profile, though equipment from that era often featured exactly that. The tooling is a barrier here for sure. If you don't have the shop and tools, some of this is very much out of reach. If you can get your hands on the tooling, there's a lot to learn, but most of us learned by doing. I had the good fortune to grow up in his shop, learning from him. Then working in a large commercial shop as a CNC machinist. Got the job because I had the prerequisite knowledge that he taught me as a child.
@@charlesmayberry2825 thanks for that explanation on the seat grinding , I had no idea until you explained it "thank you" I'm tearing the 47' cub back apart and do a better job with the seats. I'm going to tear it down further this time . Rings may be stuck, to also account for such low compression Farmall C in right now I got a super C head for it but might stick with the NO. matching one/ I have to buy my first ball hone everybody on U-Tube seems to use them. It mite clean up a little rust on the cylinder wall on the one or two that the valves were open to the air

Thanks, Tim. Really helpful. Giving me the confidence to tackle mine come Spring!
Looking great so far! Hope all goes well for the rest of the reassembly!
Take care and God bless Tim! 🙏✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Everything is coming together nicely it won’t be long now till it’s running again awesome job

I agree with saving most tractors, people give up on them way to easy.

Just wondering, what kind of oil are you using to pre-lube the o-rings and the parts? TIA!
The hy trans that I am going to be running in it.
