At a time in this world when the "old guys" are retiring or well...you know...nice to see someone teaching younger folks about fixing stuff. As a early 40s mechanic myself...it's great to see not only young people like Rachel here getting the work done, but women getting into the trade, need more of this type of encouragement.
This is really what I needed, I am starting out with zero knowledge on a B that we haven't started in 2 years. Thank you so much, I wish I had wifi in my shed!
Young lady you are some else. I had a Farmall 1941 when I was farming. Presently retired, I just can’t believe how knowledgeable you are, and I like watching you and the Farmall repair.
This is the best video production hands down. The clarity and the super professional speaking manor Miss Rachel uses is outstanding. I am blown away that she never seems to make a verbal mistake. PERFECT!
Total Knowledge extreme communication skills,not afraid to get dirty and endless beauty. I rate these videos on a 1 to 10 scale at a 20.these are the best how to I have ever seen
Another consideration as well that a lot of people sometimes overlook is yes a battery has a 12v charge but has a bad cell. For those that don't know a 12 volt battery has 6 cells (6 volt has 3 cells). Its common (particularly on older 12 volt batteries) to have a cell go bad and a owner charge the battery, stick a voltmeter on it, see 12ish volts, and say it's good. Basically the other cells are overcharged (on 12 volt battery each cell would only have to be .4 volts or so overcharged) making up for the dead cell voltage wise. What wouldn't be made up for is the lack of amperage. On a 600 CCA battery you're losing 100 CCAs of the battery. That's 17 percent of your cranking power. Really need to use a load tester on batteries to test them the right way particularly if they are older.
I agree with you, but she made it easy on the beginner without overloading them with T M I. That would be a good idea for her to have another troubleshooting video. I like my cheep Harbor Freight load tester. It has never failed on me.
Thanks again - I followed your disassembly and replaced the Bendix drive in my starter and instead of making an awful noise and not engaging it works as it should. The horrible noise is gone and the Bendix engages all the time now. I also saw another video from someone else that used blocks of wood to pry the brushes back for assembly on top of a large soup/stew can :) worked like a charm ! Thanks again !
I came looking for some nostalgia about the fabulous Ferguson 30 and 35,,, which models were So common on NZ farms in the 50s and 60s...still plenty of them around doing humble towing work. Here in Masterton we have John Deere, Deutz-Fahr, Kubota and New Holland-- all clustered in friendly competition just 4 Km from here, in this sheep farming, wine-producing region. An aside... a few months ago one 15 yr old girl i was tutoring said she wants to be a mechanic.. runs in her family... looking at her in her tall blonde elegance I said teasingly, "You can't--you'll break a nail." But good on her if she turns out anything like Rachel.
what a kool dad....i have a 1953 farmall super H....I finally found the owners manual....still learning how to use a voltmeter...you make everything seem easy...and thank you....one day I might be ordering parts from you guys...my father is from the upper penisula woods....he can build anything and work on everything...he is still a live he had cross cut at one time...thank you for the youtube .
I always like to keep the original component with the tractor when ever possible. The Mom and Pop starter and alternator shops that are willing to work on these. Are getting more and more scarce. This certainly shows how with a little time and few parts an original starter can be saved. You are a talented teacher/speaker. I espically thought the explanation how to orient the brushes in their holders was superb! Thanks, Gingells
Outstanding video! I have always been intimidated by starters, but after watching this, I’m pretty confident in tackling that shelf full of various Allis starters in my shop! Time to order some parts!
First, great instructional video! It may be called something different where you're from, but I learned the parts of an electric motor as: rotor, stator, commutator, and brushes. Btw, if you're replacing the 'fields' you should see if the new fields have been properly matched. Use your ohmmeter to test in microohm range. Both should be very similar readings, ideally within 10% of each other. Love the video.
I just would like to say Very impressive, and So informative....Makes me want to go find an old tractor to rebuild , Good work and I will definitely keep your website in mind
Always great videos. Gives me confidence in repairs. For future reference, the contact area on the armature is a commutator not a commentator and the half moon key is a woodruff key.
You make me want to go and find an old Massey similar to yours but maybe a bit smaller one I love to build old things like that. I have the itch too. Enjoy your videos slot your funny cute and darn smart young lady.good luck stay safe
Awesome video thank you very much for being there I would very much appreciate all the information I can get about your business we are trying to start a business here and conneaut Ohio buying and selling tractors and need a good place to go for information and parts so thank you very much for this video it was awesome great job dad
Rachel, these videos are fantastic!. I have learned soooo much from them. Please keep them coming. I have a 1953 Farmall Cub and a 1956? Farmall 200. Love those old red beasts!!!!!
This appears to be the same starter as on my AC D14. I am going to "best effort" go through this repair procedure on that starter this coming weekend. Never done this type repair before. Wish me luck.
To clean corroded battery terminals, you can use baking soda, (sodium bicarbonate) and hot water, use a paint brush to brush on or just pour it over the corroded area.
we have a 706 frame all tractor diesel it's about a 60 model i drive thru the field stopped and shutting it off and trying to starting it back up and it didn't start we had the battery check out and thay where good and wires to where good. i used a screwdriver to jump it it was dragging a little bit after a few times it was it
Very informative! So my starter spins strong but not engaging flywheel. when tested on a battery after removing it wont extend to engage the flywheel. Suggestions? Very clean inside teeth looks mint.
Very informative video. Does it matter that the wire stud on the starter was located on the side at first but after you reinstalled the starter it was now located on the top? I thought with the way all the components were keyed that the position of the stud would not change.
I test the switch/battery the same as you, but with the starter still connected, dad turns the key, starter Motor turns or clicks, but a 12 volt reading on the starter motor connection means battery and switch are ok.
@@rogercarrico4975 maybe one of the best earlier gas tractors? there was stuff that came later that could be considered better...... 766,966,1066,1466 anyone? also the MTA has the advantage of a torque amplifier over the original M
great video.. my starter passed of of thous tests .. but the starter drive did not, i noticed that my starter is not the same same as the one you are working at tho, the is the same , mine have got a standard leaver , and it's got the little switch that connects up the power for the starter, my old tractor is a b414 international 1964 diesel McCormick , wonder where i could get a new drive i cant get one here don't have it ..cant order it..i have 110 tooth on the ring gear, how many teeth should i have on my driver gear?
There really isnt an exact specification for resistance in the field. Basically what you are looking for is a low number. If you have numbers above 100 ohms, you most likely have some wear. If it is an extremely large number or O.L. it's best to replace.
Hi Rachel. I inherited my Dad's 1947 Farmall M. The battery is a 6 volt and no longer holds a charge. If I use a 12 volt battery to start the tractor can I just go with negative ground or does the starter need to be wired differently?
Should really undercut the segments on the armature after cleaning up an easy way is to thin down a standard hack saw blade and remove some isolation between the segments.
A T, you don't do that with a starter armature, you do that for generator armature. the reason that is done is because the spring pressure on generator brushes is considerably less than a starter brush, plus the material for a generator brush is mostly soft carbon while starter brushes have more copper content. Its called undercutting the armature. reason for doing that is the soft brush ,low spring pressure combination can.t 'wear down that insulating bar between the adjoining copper bars on the commutator and as the armature warms up during use it tends to 'squeeze' that insulating bar forcing it to raise ever so slightly thereby causing poor brush contact which results in lots of arcing, short brush life and low output. Don't mean to preach. Rebuilt these things for thirty years.

Its nice when a business that sells parts is honest about troubleshooting instead of just saying you should replace everything.
I'm sure Dad is very proud of his daughter. Great Job Rachel!!
As an ex mechanic I'm amazed how she keeps so clean.
Everything is loosened up before she does anything... living in edited world.. fml
Her fingers look just as black as mine 👍👍
We need to see more young ones fixing The Machines

Or if in doubt, just use another battery temporarily and see whether there is a difference.
Rachel, we do not have to worry about have a bad starter drive after watching this great video anything on the starter,
What a little cutie. Does my heart good to see parents who have taught their children real life skills.
Farmall is my favorite antique tractor. It's great to see a young woman showing how it works.

Hey Rachel! Thanks so much for your video. It gave me the confidence to tear open my starter and fix it myself! You are awesome
Outstanding video! I have always been intimidated by starters, but after watching this, I’m pretty confident in tackling that shelf full of various Allis starters in my shop! Time to order some parts!
Thanks! I needed a refresher before tearing into the starter. Good job relaying info and thanks for those greasy hands!!
Wrenchin with Rachel always a joy to learn. thanks

would be nice to know what ohms reading should be and on what ohms setting but apart from that was a very good video
Where you 55 yrs ago when I needed you
Way to be Dad, good job Rachel

How do you stay so clean and pretty when working on tractors ? You must be special. Er, yes you are.
Super simple. I had to redo the bendix on my Farmall A a few months ago.
Keep up the good work! This is the most helpful video on RUclips for this!

Theres nothing like a pretty girl to get views! Thats not to take away from your obvious knowledge of your subject and high quality video.

That brass socket must be dipping motor-oil, not grease dear Rachel! Nice video anyway and take care. :D
Great channel , very good info ,
What a great video! Thanks!
Thank you hun , fine video .
absolutely awesome video. thanks for links to parts.

Of course you're working on a Farmall M. Best tractor ever made. You guys still have it?

I'm amazed
Shes so cute lucky man!!!!!!
When you so “if you have no reading, that means you have an open circuit”. Does that mean if your reading is zero?
That is not how you test a battery for power. A test light is for continuity only.
Thank you for the video
Ahhhh I love your IH's ❤
Can you explain the OHMs testing here a little more. Is 000 satisfactory? I’m unclear on what a “good” reading would be for the armature test
Nice videos , keep them coming! Great job.
Great video very informative thank you
Very well explained,, thanks
Very good work, and very very beautiful girl.
tractor godess
she loves this work.
Great videos.
I got readings of 000.5 on everything I tested. What is a good reading?
i got question on field coils, is there difference between 6 volt and 12 volt field coils?
So if the fields aren't shorted, what is the ideal ohm value for a good motor field??
There really isnt an exact specification for resistance in the field. Basically what you are looking for is a low number. If you have numbers above 100 ohms, you most likely have some wear. If it is an extremely large number or O.L. it's best to replace.
@@davidhorner5655 yep
Forgot to check that windings didn't have shorts to ground with the ohm meter.

so no lubrication on reassembly?
Great video!!!
The ground wire should be connected to one of the Starter bolts 6 vote Systems will start as good as 12 that’s what I want
