    As a 67 year old, recently widowed, female I find this fascinating. I had time on my hands after my husband passed away and RUclips became a friend. I came across your channel and was instantly hooked! Thank you !

    We're addicted. I'm watching every video no matter what. The rear end has way more to it I'd ever imagined. Watching your put it all back together is going to be nothing short of fantastic!

    Thanks Pete from all the guys! They roared and applauded Henry's goose joke! It's basically a running conversation they have with you as you go through the video with a lot of wows/ look at thats/ that looks really greasys thrown in, ha! Everything is a lesson. Thanks for being a very looked forward to part of their day!

    These winter time slower paced videos really do show who your true fans are. I’m watching this 6 hrs after you posted it and there are only 19k views. Your summer time videos reel that in within the first hour. I love all of your videos Pete. I’d probably watch you sit beside the fire all day if you made a video about it. Take care.

    On my 1950 M I replaced / ground the clutch and fly wheel, rebuilt the cylinder head , carburetor, replaced the.breaks, and went thru the steering and the Swartz front end.
    The amount of time , work and money I but into that tractor was incredible.Speaking as a guy that hates surprise and puzzles it makes me nervous, anxious, and depressed
    seeing you go that deep .
    I hope you are blessed with project.
    I feel exactly like you do about the quality of new parts being suspect.

    Hi Pete, what can I say, another great 👍 video. Once you have it all torn down you can really appreciate the engineering that goes into these old tractors. They are very complex machines. Also they are built strong 💪 and to last a life if only maintained. See you in the next one and a great day.

  • @jae878
    @jae878 2 года назад +3

    Hey Pete. Interesting to see the inside of a farm tractor gear box. When I was a heavy truck technician I did mostly drivetrain work and rebuilt many transmissions from six speeds in smaller straight trucks and road tractors all the way up to the big twin countershaft transmissions in the heavy trucks. Have you ever tried locking the transmission in two gear to loosen the countershaft nut before you pull the main shaft out? That’s what I would do to get the yoke nut off the output shaft on transmissions I was tearing down. Thanks for sharing.

    Used to work as an electrician in a factory. We used many fractional motors for conveyors. At this time it was cost effective to rewind motors rather than buying new. My foreman wanted to keep us busy so he had us (me) replace the bearings before sending the motor in for rebuilding. At one point we were invited to a 25 year anniversary of the repair shop. I asked one of the people who did the repair how it was done. He said that the first thing was to toss all of the old bearings. I then turned to my foreman and told him I wouldn’t be putting new bearings on motors going out for repair!

    • @JamesCouch777
      @JamesCouch777 2 года назад +3

      That sounds about right. One of the places I worked had us replacing all the bearings every year whether they needed it or not regardless of the application.

    • @robreesor5011
      @robreesor5011 2 года назад +1

      So basically you replaced the bearings only to have the rebuild shop knock em all off and put new ones back on...ahaha wow

    Great job Pete! Great to see how all of those gears are arranged having spent so much time on our Farmall H when I was growing up. I always wondered what took up that all that space below the operator station, the two bull gears are impressive. Such a well engineered design, our tractor is now 82 years old and I don't think the rear end has ever been opened up and I am just a couple decades younger! Thanks for sharing!

    Pete you are a true inspiration. I'm what you might call a fairly good mechanic, I have 2 ford 8 n's and have thought long and hard about rebuilding them always a little apprehensive about my ability to get the job done but after watching your videos on the M D I've decided to give it a shot. I've sourced the manuals and some parts so here we go, I'm in tear down mode now and looking forward to a successful rebuild . Thanks again and keep the videos coming.

      I had a local machine shop build a sleeve puller and installer when I rebuilt mine a few years ago. Had 2 Ford's actually. My son was in a homeschool co-op and was taking classes there when he was in high school. Saved money as compared to having sleeves pulled and installed by a machine shop and my son and his class had a project that was usable when he was finished. Been watching Pete and Hillary for awhile. They do a great job making a small farm work.

  • @tommyt8857
    @tommyt8857 2 года назад +5

    I don't know how you keep track of all those parts. I know you have a system but I would go crazy trying to put that back together. Even on a small project I have to leave as many assemblies as I can together so I know how it's supposed to be assembled. All those spacers and whatnot... Man, I would go nuts.

    Great job Pete. well that came apart a lot easier than I thought it would. I was expecting some really hard t break and get out bolts. and pressed in bearings etc. but that stuff almost fell out for you. I also agree on your assessment of the bearings and how and wither they should be replaced. especiall with the quality of "Overseas" bearings. US Steel is building a new Billion dollar manufacturing plant. so maybe we'll start seeing some good quality parts again like we used to have. instead of the cheap quality off shore stuff. Thanks for a great video Pete. Till next one God Speed. ECF

    When I remove a snap ring with a screw driver I try to be careful, but it seems like I catch my opposite hand with the screw driver more than I should....hmm, I guess I'm not being as careful as I think. Good points made with the bearings, the quality is something to be cautious about when getting new bearings. I've replaced bearings in the past with a new one and it doesn't last near as long as the old one. I really liked this one, some great advice and pointers, thanks for sharing. Have a nice week and stay safe out there!
