I’m enjoying seeing the old MD come back together, but I also enjoy seeing the farm, and I want to see both. Take as much time as you need Pete, we all love all your output.
I can tell you, for a fact, that we get stronger as we get older, Pete. Every morning I wake up with sore muscles I never knew I had! Keep up the extraordinary videos, you are doing a great job.
Pete, for a Sunday I would love to see you interview your father and have him discuss the farming changes he has in his lifetime and how he feels about future of farming. Always great listening to you, from an old ex-farmer. Thanks
Hey, yeah. That’s a great idea!
A suggestion for another video would what gaskets / sealants to use where. This series is going to interest a lot of people rebuilding an engine and having your knowledge focused on various matters would be a great resource. Keep up the good work.
All good Pete- we are here for the duration 👍
My "third hand" is a headlamp for that kind of work. It has saved me many choice words and tool recovery efforts.
I grew up in a family of machinists and a big social circle of gear heads... And never got into either... Yet here I am eagerly awaiting every new video giving me updates from machine shops and working me through an engine rebuild. Life is funny.
Hey Pete, I don’t care how long it takes! It’s so satisfying to see each piece go back together and done so well. I’m so glad I get to watch it happen. Thanks for sharing.
The farm comes first anybody that can't wait will get over it, I really enjoy your video's you do very nice work
I don't know if you realize how impressive your skills and strengths are! Thanks for the videos.
Remember it's your tractor do it your way. When working on my Classic cars I speak with other people but do it the way I feel is the best. Nice Job!!
Really enjoy watching you work putting your tractor back together. You are very meticulous with work. Good thing!
Not many people truly impress me but you sir are impressive. Your knowledge and the journey you decided to embark on are inspiring
Wow what progress! Don’t worry about how long it takes...we’re here for the duration!👍🤗
great project. Thanks Pete. Dont forget you have farm work to be done. We will be happy to wait till you get some time. Winter works for me.
I’ll tell you what, I would never be able to remember how all these parts go back together. Hats off to your memory Pete, very interesting video.
@Philippe Blondeau he's also got manuals for disassembly and reassembly.
@@garywelker8398 he has mentioned others he's done, so I would think that after a while, it becomes easier.
I am amazed the knowledge that you have in the installation of the timing alignment and as you said the order in the installation process so putting things together can be done without taking it apart because of the timing. Looking forward to the next steps to the final startup.
I gotta say I like just about everything you are putting out these days. Thanks for all you are doing.
Thanks for teaching us patience by being a great example.
Pete you give true meaning to the word "craftsman".
My grandfather was a machinist for IH & McCormick Deering. And on his free time, he would make sleeves and stuff for engines. He had a farmall M with a very long stroke and used it in stoneboat tractor pulls.. He had to raise the hood and everything to get that engine to fit. When he passed away in 1990s... His farmall M was sold to a guy that was big into tractor pulls.. Haven't seen it since.. But under the head you can see that engine was extended a lot. At least 6 inches.
Hi Pete, thank you for another great video. I hope you enjoy your day as well.
I've done a few Farmall M gas engine complete rebuilds and one Farmall M diesel rebuild. The M's are a lot of fun Pete. Love your videos
It's going to be a fun day for all of us when we DO get to hear her run! It'll be worth the wait!
Another great video. We will be back for the next installment, whatever it is (farming, tractor rebuild etc.).
Pete, you can soak the oil pan gasket in water for a few minutes and it will stretch to fit the oil pan. Use bolts through the gasket and dropped into the oil pan and let the gasket dry, then install. Love watching your videos.
Pete, You give excellent instruction on the reassembly of the MD. Thank You so much. John in Missouri Valley, Ia.
Pete, Your time-lapse photography sure saves a lotta time.....
Pete you're doing it the right way, taking your time and making sure its right the first time. The farm comes first but I'm sure there will be time to finish that tractor.
Great job Mr!! Your getting there. If anyone has done these projects they are slow. My 656 took many years to get done. That just to get it running let alone paint.(still needs paint) thanks to you I now could accomplish that!!! Pretty impressive how much you have gotten done due to the design of engine and availability of parts and machining!!!! Great job!!! Keep to the videos. Love everyone of and the dad jokes to boot👍
Recently discovered your channel and you are doing an extremely good job!
I love the JFK reference! Should be a good mix of farming, mechanical and joke videos in the months to come. Good work and thanks for the patience
Thank you for the great videos. My wife and I are first generation farmers on a small acreage just starting out with chickens first.
When 18 minutes turns into 3. Great work :)
I get the stuff on animals and hubby gets THIS! And Pete, YOU remind us of Allan Alda!! You are a very smart and humble guy and Hilary is a VERY HARD WORKER. You are a cool couple ;). And one more thing, did you teach at a high school? Shop and science, throw in history too
Great job Pete, it took a lot of engineering designing that engine, and a lot of thinking taking it apart and putting back together. A beautiful job on both
Fantastic shop
Great job all around swilley coming together real well and opened up my eyes as to the complexity of these older tractors
I overhauled a couple of Briggs and Stratton flat heads in between watching you work on the MD. There's not much comparison 😁👍. Although adjusting the valves on a Briggs can be a little tricky 😉
Congratulations on making it to this huge milestone! Can't wait to hear it run.
Pete - I could see having nightmares over all the timing dots, dots everywhere!!!
Do it when you can, know worries . i'm here till the end. looking good Pete!
Hey Pete, regarding the gas tank leak on the MD, take a soften bar of soap and rub it into the leak and gas won't pass thru the soap. Its a short term patch but it really work. We've had several M and loved them. My Dad's M had a super kit and 'after market' power steering [narrow front], live hydratic.
I enjoy your video's very much! Best regards from the Netherlands (Europe).
Hey Pete, it's been a bit since you did these MD vids, but I'm gleaning what I can to help myself get the injection pump back on my MD-based road grader. I balked at the price Central quoted me last fall, but after your suggestion, I called them back and found that I'd had some bad info and the $1,112 sounded alright compared to the original $1,600. I'm cleaning and installing today!
Great video Pete! I really needed this, I've been fighting Covid since Sunday and this video made me relax.
All the best some people barely know they have had it but for some it's hard.
@@COIcultist Thank you! .I've worn my mask, washed my hands, social distanced, haven't been in large crowds, got my first dose of the vaccine on the 14th. I tested positive for Covid on Sunday after feeling really sick Saturday night. I don’t get it.
@@plumberguy1689 Unfortunately it's 2 to 3 weeks before the vaccine really starts to kick in. I've got a handful of co-morbidities so have been quite careful but wondering if I had it asymptomatically last year. A good friend who I see a lot of got poorly in Jan 2020. No cold or flu symptoms, no cough, no loss of smell, but he did become spacially disorientated, was quite fatigued and look like he had been beat up. It took him to about April before he was OK and we um'ed and ah'ed a bit. However, 5 weeks ago he got his first Covid-19 shot and 15 days later the same symptoms had come back.
🙌 Good morning.
I have no idea what you are doing but it is interesting. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Thanks for sharing.👍🙌🙌🥰
If I ever got to go your way would love to see your farm. Ime farm boy at heart. Raised on the farm
Pete you would have made a great teacher in the history of tractors
I love watching the channel..very educational
Pete you need a headlamp. They have some that are rechargeable. I can't live without mine. :-)
"Crankshaft keys - should've put them on before I put the cover on" - For me, in my projects, that's code for "time for a beer"
think in another 70 or 80 years weather if these old tractors will be thanks for sharing
You’re a very thorough mechanic. I’d be a lot less fussy. You’re good thouh
I'm not into tractor equipment. Never really have been. I do enjoy watching them, and am fascinated by how they work as well as watching them do their job. I've watched every single one of your videos on these old tractors with fascination. I know some of the names of the parts and such, the rest is foreign to me. But here I sit, in wonderment, lol great job keeping those of us that are uneducated on these machines intrigued while educating us at the same time.
Thanks Pete
Excellent work Pete
Pete, I originally thought watching you rebuild the MD engine would give me courage to attempt a rebuild on my 49 Farmall Cub. Now after seeing all that is needed to get the timing correct I'm loosing my nerve! You really have some deep knowledge on Farmalls.
Hi Steve, please don't be discouraged. A cub engine is a great way to start out. The MD engine is extra complicated to time correctly. Cubs are simple.
I've got to say as a farmer, you make a very good mechanic. I've restored vintage engines where I've had to make all my own gaskets but I'm enjoying your attention to detail. Of course most farmers have to be handy at everything.
Do the time to make it right. A person should not rush a job just for the sense of finishing faster. This seems to apply to just about all things in life.
Hello Pete from the Ft. Wayne IN. area. You're right, everyone has their own way of building engines. Just getting ready to start restoring my Allis Chalmers WD and really looking forward to it. I had wished that you would have used a letter punch set to leave a message for the next owner a hundred years from now on the modifications to the timing gear and shaft. Keep the wrenches turning.
Truly enjoy your video just as much as you enjoing putting this engine together. Thank you
On gaskets that we needed to remove we were taught to coat the gasket with grease, It would seal better than a dry gasket and not stick, or use gasket cement on one side and grease on the other this way it stays put, But I am just an old timer.
Pete, I'm getting kind of old these days. In my younger days. I worked for 2 of the largest trucking companies in the states. So I laugh at these folks telling you how to do this work. I've helped a few of those primadonnas find jobs elsewhere. Those won't my best moments. I am living vicariously through your vids. I am also looking for a few acres in the east to grow a bit of food. You've lifted my spirits. Taught me much on how much farm I want. How much farm I can do and they are not the same. Plus my wife watches also, she lets me know when I exceed my ability on the farm front
But you help keep my dream alive!
Excellent job Pete
I send the pop jokes to an old friend who also tests his grand kids 😄 so since I love those kids your a great asset there. Lol if you send me an address I'll send you 50 cent s for the royalties. Entertaining, informative, educational. Good job!
Pete, We do these things..not because they are easy..but because they are hard!
I'm still not sure about that..But... it did provide the first laugh of the day! Thanks!.😄
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing
Looking good there on the engine rebuild.
Thank you for sharing.
I was afraid that you were going to have to take the front cover back off to get those keys in. I have had to undo things many times when I discovered that I had put something together out of order.
I don't think you need to worry about getting it running this season. If you have to room in the shop, I would keep it there and continue doing small things on rainy days. It makes for good short videos, and I think the content value would be higher if you get it all refitted before pulling it out.
Good work takes time and the farm is first. I work part time for a farmer and I know what your against. Keep pecking away you'll get there
Awesome stuff man!!! Great job
I have had a old mechanic tell me years ago that 6 degrees advanced is as far as you can go, I have set all 7 of my fleet at this with no problems
I just watched a video about a m tractor and was thinking of you then bam new video lol thanks buddy you made my day
Excellent video it's nice to see that you are making progress on the MD
As long as you have the laughing gas that will be great fun
Pete, I'm looking forward to "start-up day" !
It will be a grand day when that old iron is working the fields again.
You're videos is quite relaxing, Good work Pete.
I'll wait, you have other things to do on the farm. I just can't wait until the first start. Very exciting.
Hi Pete dont you hate that when you forget something, nice that you managed to get keys in without taking cover back off. Great video have a good day. Back to the races
Great job!
Take your time Pete all good thing come to those who wait .and there's not point making aess of it
Nice job. Coming great. Lucky your Dad is still with you.
My Dad would tie all the oil pan gasket holes with thread to hold it in place, get the bolts started then pull the thread out. Hows that for real old time tech.
Lots of work,very methodical mechanics
Thanks
Another step closer to a running 🚜.
Looks good! I appreciate the time you take to share!
We have a WD-9. That's a fun engine.
It’s coming together !
Looking good from my house ....take your time do it to your own narrative don't worry what other people think...
Much love from Chicago wish i could help you all
Great video Pete!! By the way, can I set up a dental appointment with you? Lol Your humor, and lightheartedness is so refreshing given what’s going on in this Country right now. At least by me, it’s appreciated! Have a great day Pete!!
DITO!
Tell she is gong to purr when you are done 👍
Hey man, you're pretty cool. I cant wait to watch more
Just make sure to give a shot of LA200 and a shot of litacane before the surgery starts. I have that vaccine in my vet box
I've got a funny feeling we left something out while assembling.
I hope your injector pointer is exactly the same position backwards as it is the other way around as you put it on the opposite to what it came off. check the stain marks from the slotted holes.
Thank you for wasting 15 minutes of my day. It is oriented the proper way, the same way as it came out, with the tab that limits its travel facing toward the injection pump timing gear.
Nice work. Thanks for the video.
Love the videos
To clean up Hi Tack, use acetone.
That was a great double feature, Pete. You looked and sounded elated in the opening. Would you say that you have hit the crescendo, in this project now? Is it clear pastures ahead?
Hand hammered timing cover...doubles as a wok
