Do you have a website for contact info? I'm working on my great-grandfather's, and hit a snag.

Very well said Brian, very easy to understand. I appreciate your educated background and wisdom

Thanks, mine would light sporadically. I made a couple adjustments with your advice and it lit 5 times in a row. Hopefully it stays going, if not I'll adjust a little more but now i know where to start.

Thank you Bryan for your help. I enjoyed the videos and instruction.

Thank you for your response. I ordered the new shaft and kit but there is no spacer supplied with it. Is it needed for all applications or is it just to compensate for the wear on your particular tractor? I have a few flat washers that are size appropriate that I could use if I had to.

Why do you need the two washers you made?

Thanks for the info. I plan to do this to my 342.

Cool❤

This worked on our WP gas stove top thank you!

Thanks for the info...

Hi Bryan. The oil less compressors are rebuildable farely cheap if you only need the cylinder sleeve and piston ring. Thanks for another video!!!

Yeah, totally. I saw it on the compressor i bought. Runs on 15-20 amps of 120v and clames 5 caballos. Thats horses in spanish, yeah!!

Thanks for the tip. Ive been looking at retrofitting my little craftsman drill press motor with a tread mill motor but this looks cheaper and probably much easier. Thanks Bryan.

I really loved restoring my dads old Farmall. It was even more fun to hand crank it up and drive it!!! 1939 Farmall A, no hydraulics, no battery just a magneto. Had to put a new condenser to fix the no spark. When i was tig welding a 76 Ford F250 aluminum oil cooler i got close to the header and i got to watch the little lead particles floating up the arc and depositing on the tungsten...

Totally worked on my whirlpool gold series. I just took up the slack to the outside of the igniter’s sloppy fitment. No tools needed Thanks!

I never knew positive ground existed, but my BMW R1200RT bike has a wire going from the + terminal of the battery going to the frame. It made my head hurt when I tried to make sense of it

Thank you

Confused. At 1:25, the electrode is negative and the ground tab is positive. How can that be when the negative side of the battery is connected to the engine block

Very clear and easy to understand, many thanks Bryan. Best Wishes from the Wild West of England.

Here's ur fillersthanks again

Here's ur fillers

Here's ur fillers

Im working on champion 3500 / 4000 generator not making power i like tape ideal nice making wiring diagram superb .

Yes Sir that's another great useful video.

Thanks

You want some alg. Filler comments. I'll do my part and get you few on the video's I watch.

Yes Sir. Great job.great video. Thank you for taking the time to help I guarantee this will help a lot of us on lower side of coins situation. Lol. Like u said some of cheap stuff is ok if u have know how and some is useless . Round disk on sander. Lol. Lot of us have to play with cheaper toys or don't play and when u get cheaper stuff and it breaks u still can't play, not no more. THANKS AGAIN. From ur ole hillbilly buddy

Nice Brian, would not mind having one of these. Excellent job!

Nice video Bryan! I'll just need you to walk across the street and test it out on some rabbits for me jk lol

This is awesome. I’m going to try when I get home!! I will update you if that’s solves my problem!!! 😊😊

Lol, I didn't know your were an IH Farmall fan when I clicked on your video. I'm actually trying to troubleshoot a 1949 Farmall A (🥰 My 1st tractor.) that turns over but won't start. I've already gone through the combustion, fuel systems and now focusing on the electrical system.

On a spark plug, Which is the anode and cathode, the electrode or the earth ?

I how do you remove the top cap? Does it screw on?

You are correct about the spark. I trained over 50 years ago and work on more LUCAS generator and regulator systems than anything else. It was always explained that it is positive ground, negative spark. LUCAS coils were wound for positive ground and for the transformer effect. I had a problem on a forklift that had a positive earthed alternator. It was wired wrong and the spark was coming up the spark plug instead of going down. After diagnosis and rewiring the the coil and reversing the battery everything worked correctly.

I always thought that current actually flowed better with positive ground, but GM led the way to negative ground so that all corrosion would be at the battery posts instead of at the accessories.

One more question. So if i put a battery maintainer on my tractor that has a ground positive system, do i still connect the red clamp to the positive terminal?

Hello, great video, but I'm still a little confused about one thing. I'm wiring up led headlights to my 1957 IH 300U. I planned on running the light connections straight to the battery terminals and using the toggle switch that came with the wiring harness to turn on/off. This requires me to use the positive terminal on the battery for positive. Will it hurt the battery, lights, or tractor if i run the lights off the same battery as the tractor and have them runnin positive to positive on the lights? Seems like i could be playing with fire.. literally. Where are you located in Minnesota? I'm in Minnesota.. do you still work on old tractors?

Idont get no gas at all to the stove

I attended California Maritime Academy during the mid 70s as an engineering student. We took 5 classes of electricity. We were taught electron flow as well as conventional flow in DC circuits. The teacher really messed with our minds in lab class by intentionally confusing the two flows. We put together kit DC motors and were grilled on which direction that they would turn before closing the knife switch. I have collected WWII Dodge army trucks and post war Power Wagons. Most of the WWII trucks were 6 volt positive ground but the radio trucks were all 12volt negative ground, because of the radio equipment was 12 volt negative ground. The 6 volt generators have labels which are red in color, the 12 volt generators have green colored labels. I have always assumed that because the manufacturing was set up during WWII, it was easy to switch to 12 volt negative ground 10 years later. I have a bunch of 2N and 8N tractors with a "permanent" implement attached to each one. Most of the tractors are still 6 volt, but the one with the snow blade is 12 volt because the engine turns over better in the cold, especially when the tractor is being somewhat abused and routinely stalled by pushing too much snow around. The Ford 6 volt generators have no voltage regulators, just a cut out and a movable third brush. This will slightly over charge a battery, reducing the life. A one wire GM alternator will extend the battery life to 6 years. Also worn out 12 volt batteries will still start lower compression engines where the six volt battery MUST be in perfect condition. I can jump other 12volt vehicles with that tractor too. I have a Model A with a reworked 6 volt positive ground GM alternator, the 6 v battery will last for 5 years.

Mines is brand new. My oven lites great. But none of my buners won't even make the click sound. I have to put fire to them to lite. Someone please help

To understand the current, you need to look at it with an oscilloscope (either with a current probe, or drop a shunt resistor in series with the winding and measure the voltage across the shunt resistor).

Thank you. I had the proble of comprehending the positive ground setup on the IH I am attempting to restore. . Hours of KZbin watching didn't get my light bulb go on over my head. It just took the right person to explain it the way I could comprehend it. Definitely will lean up every connection and thanks again for your knowledge.

I put a 2 horse motor on mine, had to lift the whole body of the tool off of the base and put spacers in so it would fit 😂, swapped the pulley wheel to a very large one and added one of those link non stretch belts so it's about 2-3 times the original rpm and absolutely impossible to stall, the thing is a terrifying tool now that will tear your fingers off if you get them in the belt area

Those relays are great for broken refrigerators

Portrait mode, I'm out.

Looks good nice work!

Thank you I was looking for an alternative to hydrocloric acid and have found it..Thanks again.

Thank you for getting to it right off the get go so refreashing

Sometimes people research, and hope there is a new product, but I completely agree with you. Once something fails, you must fix the fail, if not, you fail at fixing it by covering it up.

I have on of these, I wish u would have made a video of the process
