When it comes to automotive tires anything over 10 years old the large tire shops refuse to repair them or even put them on as a spare. Those who insist on buying rubber made in the USA are willing to buy rubber that has already passed the 10-year limit.; Folks should realize that tires go from manufacturing plants to warehouses and sit in inventory until sold. I bought 6 new tires from a local reputable tire shop and 2 of them were mfd in Canada and 4 f them were mfd in France. Those that post negative comments without factual knowledge need to bridle themselves and just scroll on.
Hi Toby, thanks for all this. We all appreciate the extra work involved in setting up and moving the cameras to get the angles required to document your work and entertain us.
@@squatch253 unfortunately I did not see the this project from the beginning, but one question I do have is did you end up doing anything to the engine on it?
13:00 Dayum! Eye fort there were sum girt great bugly bug flyin 'round my 54" screen! Hit the paws and it stopped dead in the air, must be one of yourn!
I saw a Farmall bolster in a machine shop class that was being repaired after the lower bushing had been pretty much destroyed. The guy who was working on it said that he bought the tractor cheap because the previous owner thought the knock he was hearing occasionally was coming from the engine. He noticed that the steering felt strange and noticed that the front wheels would tilt a little when he was loading it. He was boring the bottom part oversize to get it back to round and the shaft had grooves in it from beating around the inside of the bolster. The worm gear set was in good shape and the upper bushing was worn out. He said that he was going to have to make his own bushings because of how much wear and damage he was dealing with.
Dude , watching your videos is going to get me in trouble, I totally want to go out a find an old Farmall and give it a makeover just like this. AWESOME
Dang that paint sure looks nice. That new gun really worked out good for you despite you just getting accustomed to it and it’s nozzles. Well done. That Sleeve permatex grabber compound is very impressive.
That is some impressive paintwork 👌just something i noticed when you were attaching the fenders we call them mudguards 🏴😁 there looked as if there were spacers between the axle and the fender brackets 🤔 yours is the first H i have seen where the rear tyres are not actually taller than the fenders is this a Squatch invention or were these spacers available at time of production 🤔 great video 👍
That red and silver looks really sharp. You could always call the tractor iron man!! You should only be sourcing your rubber inner tubes from Mars. They have the best rubber and being red would match the tractor….🤪🤪🤪🤪
With those modern inner tubes & the vintage style bigger valve holes in the steel rim for the old style tapered fat valve stems V's the thinner modern valve stems, you can get little plastic "Witches hats" that go over the valve stem and fill & seal that size difference & support the inner tube & valve stem in that area. You fit them onto the stems when you install the tubes.
That is going to be one sharp H!!! I like those front wheel weights. Very cool, and should help keep it rubber side down (but I would say it is operator awareness more than anything).
I hate to blow smoke up your skirt AGAIN but you do such a great job. As I have told you before, I know nothing about what you do but you explain everything so well I feel like an expert when you’re done. Keep up the good work Sir.
You are making that old machine Pop!!, as far as 'foreign made' I remember that German and Japanese precision item were sought for in the 1950s & 60s. Anyone can buy shoddy cheap junk from China, US and Mexico these days. All manufacturing gave up on quality when the global standard became profit.
Do you have an "assembly set" of sockets and tools? I have a couple sets in different vehicles and worksites, and they are all greasy, and dirty. When you were doing the front weights, the bolt heads came out clean. Very noticeable to me. My guess is you are just really detail oriented (craftsman), and keep your space and tools spotlessly clean. I mean, your note taking, assembly notebooks with data from disassembly and reassembly speaks to an ordered mind. And your educational approach is why I'm here when you post a new video. Thank you sir.
Great video Squatch! I have to agree the H is going to be a really good looking tractor when it's finished. I really like the front wheel weights as well. Cheers
Great video Squatch!! I can’t wait to see it in person! I’ve been impressed by the looks that Pete got with his and no doubt it will be the same for you!
Awesome work the paint is second to none. That tractor is show quality… I know you will put it to work which is great!! Thank you for sharing keep them coming.
The sea of red looks great. I like your approach to your channel. No wasted time on vid, descalation of the comments, attention to detail. Great channel.
The tractor is looking good now. The finish on the rear wheel fenders looks very smooth and shiny. You must be pleased with the new spray gun. As for the comment on the inner tubes I think this can be taken wider to the quality of the aftermarket spares that come from the far east. I recently replaced a noisy power steering pump on my early Mustang and the new pump failed after a couple of weeks. I won't go into detail but when I stripped the new pump I was astounded at the diabolical quality of the assembly. In the end I made up a good pump from a combination of the old and "new" one. I didn't return to pump because I thought I would just get another pile of cr@p and be a week further down the line. I have no experience with vintage tractors so I don't know if its the same problem for you.
Thanks for explaintion about rubber aging. I noted your reason for no liquid tire ballast, but what is the wright of the H's rear and front metal ballasts?
This video series has really inspired me to start looking into my own attempt at a restoration. My father and grandfather have both always liked the 560, but neither have the money to just throw at an already restored one. Been looking around trying to find one for me to at least tinker with and keep it running while I'm in the army, and then once I'm out I want to do a full restoration on it as a gift to them. Keep up the good work on this, it's absolutely breathtaking how beautiful it is turning out.

I don't know why I didn't say something about this sooner, but what I used to do is, I would spray strait zinc rust-Oleum, most hardware stores have it including Home Depot. Then I would put my primer on, and then I would put my paint on. I don't know if this makes sense to you but I haven't had much stuff rust away. Rust-Oleum does make a red zinc primer, my dad was really fond of it. I just decided to take it a step further. When I worked in the shipyard they had cans of zRC kicking around all the time. That's when I decided to try it on some of my own home projects. Sure if I got a home project and I don't want the paint to go to hell right away, i start with zinc, then I use Red Rust primer, the paint color, then I would let the paint dry for a long time so it got nice and hard, and then I would clear coat it. I've found that even after you let it dry a long time sometimes the paint likes to bubble up, So sometimes you would have to hit it lightly, and then go back with more clear coat. Sometimes when you rattle can it, you have to be creative.
Just asking, could the front wheel weights be mounted on the inside of the hub? Prior to mounting on spindle. Looks like they are cast to accommodate that. ???
This video seems to be the wheel deal. No over inflated ideas, steering us safely down the furrow with gobs of caster. True blue even though it was green locktite. A soothing application of preparation IH. Although i keep threatening Jeff Anderson aka jpaydirt that i might just show up to help him with his 50 + tons of fun D9H rebuild. A yellow container of Preparation D9H
She's looking good! I do enjoy pretty shiny things. I also have a question, though it might seem silly: Why did International make their rims the way they did, instead of a more conventional design? The way the rims mount on these Farmalls has always seemed strange to me. Was it that much cheaper to manufacture? Easier for the operator to mess with? More versatile? Again, I know it seems silly to ask, but I'm not much of a Farmall guy, so it's a bit of a puzzler to me.
I know from riding on the H my foster dad had when I wasn't driving, i'll be leaning against the guard and my foot would be on the pTO shield, That's the first place the paint liked wear off. I thought unless you were taking it to a show, you could put some non-skid on top of the PTO housing to keep the paint wear down to a minimum.
It looks like you have room to stake the casting under that lower bushing as a backup to prevent it from dropping. Just a thought. Them fenders look show room quality!
Thank you for the tip on using Permetex sleeve retainer! I have never heard of it until this video. Yet have needed it many times. I will be getting a tube ASAP.
Had you any issues with the smoke from the wild fires when you were painting? I live in northwestern Minnesota and today we had 3 mile visibility and you could feel it in your throat. The way the paint looks you did not. Nice job
Any tool with a little hook is good for seals. I usually buy cheaper flat blade screw drivers and put them under the press over a nail with a piece of wood in top. That makes a perfect crow's foot to lever out smaller seals. Like when you get into 10~15 cm OD seals, there's nothing better.
Neat stuff! I have a question - how much of a difference do those small wheel weights up front make? They seem so light compared to the front end of the tractor.
A work of art like the Fender Shells should be in a Museum! And time to get out the Buehac (sp?) and kill off those skeeters even if you leave it smoldering over night (in a bare iron pan of course). And yes that was an awful pun on weight there is more.
How has the insect population been for your painting? Does it dry fast enough to keep the bugs from sticking? How is the humidity effecting your painting, In the drying skinning right after the top coat is applied or in the curing phase while hanging in the shop? If it is the later, would a dehumidifier as well as the AC help in keeping that level lower, or the fact of a couple more days just as helpful? Something you mentioned awhile ago, was an upcoming show featuring MM, is that this Summer? My work schedule does not align with any shows so far so I will be having to take a few days off to see any.
Totally agree with your opinion of the front wheels/weights. Looks sharp! Thanks for taking the high road with the negative comments. Kindness always wins. What’s the best way to get those corks out after paint?
Back when I had the luxury of a good set of seal drivers, I would assemble the discs so that I could slip the seal onto the smaller disc to hold it on place. Maybe I was doing it wrong?
Hey, so totally impressed by the work, 😃😃, attaching the front wheel weights, “ hey, weight, there’s more coming” 😆😆. When you attached the rear fenders, would there be any advantage in placing small rubber gaskets between the fender and mounting plate?
Oh, to have the time and money to do all of this...omg, 10 year old steering bushings being replaced! Pretty sure my 51 has the originals, steering box does not hold oil, just putty in a few big wads of grease as needed on the gears and it sticks. Looks fantastic, but how many thousand hours a year does it work to wear out bushings like that??? Everything I run looks like it has its work clothes on and needs a shave, but mechanicals are up to spec.

Call me what you will but that's the difference about the friction verses the ratchet throttles I had always wondered about.

How do you pick a gun? It's not like you can tell if the needle is made from super soft metal and so on before you get it, can you?
19:12 The "Fun" part of restorations is when you install freshly Painted Parts. When you are super careful but still......🙂
19:23 If that had been me installing the tire/rim combo, I can almost guarantee you at least one finger would have been mashed. Good save.
Great video. Enjoyed watching
That thing is gonna be a parade tractor with that glossy paint!!!😊
That tractor is starting to sing. Can't wait to see you drive it out of there. Brilliant masterclass in restoration. Thanks from the UK.
Painting the tips of the threads for the wheel weight bolts is so...Squatch...
