Gotta say thank you for coming back and making videos after your little break. It makes my day to come home after a hard day at work and on the farm and get to watch your videos from farming to mechanical videos I enjoy them all.
Great find with the updated gearbox. As always another repair rapped up great. Happy New Year to you and the family. Wishing you a great 2025 cropping season.
Great video Ethan! You do a great job explaining the ins and outs of the project you are working on so us laypeople understand what is going on. Thanks again. Larry
In our area John Deere was the big sales company And family relations So hearing about the Oliver line is very interesting to me being a farmer for 30 years But I also see the changes in the John Deere line of equipment like you do for Oliver Both brands were very good
I have had one of those hand impacts for years, essential for bikes. The HF one is just as good as any. I bought some JIC bits for mine for Japanese bikes.
The design of the second transmission does seem better. I have a Snap-on impact driver and they are nice. I think the tool brand itself isn’t as important as the bits.
Those cheap ones work just fine. Just use that impact driver till you break it and then buy a different one. All that stuff you do if you made it this long without one that one will last you decades or more probably. I don't do have the mechanical stuff you do and have had the HF one for years and it works Everytime I need it. I have used a Mac (maybe MatCo) one and it worked just as good as my HF one. I used to borrow one from my buddy who is a mechanic at Ford before I bought the HF one for myself.
Or…. And hear me out because I know this is a difficult concept to understand for Americans who for some reason love their cheap Chinese shit. Support a small American manufacturer who has been making hand tools in Pennsylvania since 1950 and is still run by the same family.
@Oliver66FarmBoy fair enough. If one has the means to do so. I personally can't afford to pay the price for American tools. Especially for the impact driver. I use it most commonly on outboards. To take the screw out of the lower units for the oil fill/drain or when separating the foot to reseal/rebuild them. I know I have used it on other things but I can't use my tools as a business expense as I do not work for myself but I also don't have the income level to buy these random tools in the American flavor. If I could I might have different opinions. I do at times but american when I can justify it. I am glad there are people who can.

Thanks.
Nice.produced back when u.s.a.made quality products that weren't throwaway and there was pride in your work
Impact Drivers and hollow ground bits are life savers on flathead machine screws.
Biggest thing I wanted it for was truss head screws that always rust into their counter sinks.
Lisle tool also makes a nice usa made impact driver. I have 2 of them use almost daily. Keep up the great work Ethan.

Happy New Year! 🎈🎊🎆. Your videos are very informative and fun to watch. Your mechanical skills are impressive.
Glad you were able to find one! I love my little 64. Happy New Year Ethan!

I should have bought one a long time ago.
Happy New Year kiddo. Great history lesson.
Happy late Christmas and a happy new year to you and Shelly. Have a great year.
Thanks.
Ethan, Nice upgrade. Happy New years 🎉🥂 thanks Michael
Thanks.
Happy new year to shelly and your self Ethan, hope your blessed with a safe and successful season ahead. Thanks Elijah
Thanks.
Happy New Year! Excellent update! Ethan cut that goofy plastic off the impact driver and hit and twist.
It’s not plastic. It’s the hand grip…
Very neat, have to next spring
Happy new year. Stay safe and I'll see you later.
Thanks.
Have a great new year Ethan and Shelley❤❤❤❤❤❤
That new gear box is way tighter it's a win !!!
Yep
Great explanation
That gearbox looks better than our case 5300 that you just adjust the size of the opening
There’s a reason superior drills were so well liked even before Oliver.
Happy New Year
Thanks.

Good bits are about impossible to find anymore.

Nice
Are you still looking for a bigger drill
A John Deere Van Brunt looks like something from the stone age compared to your Oliver
There’s a reason superior drills were known for their accuracy even before they merged with Oliver.
By or
As good John Deere is they do some stuff that make you scratch your head and ask why
You need to Google how to use impact drive, you're not using it proper
And how is he not using it properly?
He don’t know.
