Have you ever replaced the seals on rear axles on this 550? Mine are leaking badly and it appears to be more than I want to tackle. Just keep adding fluid.

Yup, had the abs, hcu, and now the parking sensor crap. 18 power wagon here

Thanks for sharing, Kevin

Awesome video! You answered a lot of questions I needed to know about for moving the relay box in my wife's 2016 Jeep Patriot. I am thinking of doing this to prevent future problems. Thanks so much for making this video! 😊

Another great video by the TTC Master Mechanic. Thanks for this Pal!

G day Kevin Cockshutt were red too, I think they were latter models I am surprised that u r keeping diesel Ths Were is this marketplace u talk abput

G day Kevin Boy that Oliver cup really stuck for me Those ford tires were bargin. Ths

Hi Kevin, Looking forward to the 9N restoration.

Always enjoy looking at old cars and pickups. My wife just bought a 1956 Chev. 4 door sedan last week. The same color in your video. Thanks for sharing.👍

Love it. I will try my door lock. I had the same washer since 06, it keeps limping along also.

That makes sense. Did you end up trying the gas steering box on the diesel?

i cant even open my lift gate

just got quoted $2,800 to replace resin in the two tanks and $395 to replace carbon in the 3rd. Glad I found this video

Your video is bad ass man thanks for the help I have a 08 jeep patriot just had this issue

Look under you bullies on your pro cut 61 there are bearings that need greece just so u no there only on the blade pullies

Just a note from experience when repairing the front axel pivot area on these tractors. The radius rods probably were not bent. That pivot hole through the axel is drilled at an angle and is not perpendicular to the axel. If you look close the radius rod pivots are not directly in line with the axel pivot point. This gives some positive camber to the front axel. So if the axel is repaired with the pivot hole perpendicular to the axel the radius rods do not fit properly into place.

Interesting to watch you improve this great old tractor. My early career was in an Oliver dealership, so the memories are real. Glad to see you replaced the clutch safety switch, because safety should be first priority.

Great sounding tractor. Thanks for sharing.

G day Kevin Interesting video. We had Allis WD, ploughing & all of sudden made heck of a noise 1 wheel let go & went out, I don't remember the rest I did put W-4 wheel on 1 time , & while doing thought if this things fall over I,m gone Thanks Sounds nice

Great coverage Kevin, l have one of those David Brown Cropmaster, great fun to drive with a passenger, the clutch and brake both on the right hand side of the transmission and steering wheel offset to the right. Back in the day it was said to be a great way to take your girl out on a date night!

Just had my radio replaced today..brand new. Called uconnect directly they had me go to Jeep dealership , they checked my radio, it was ghosting and deamination. Uconnect accepted my claim and 12 days later I got a new radio installed...FREE. call uconnect to start the process.

I had to get a new digitizer because cracked the old one trying to seperate them (that glue is strong). The new one had it's own double sided tape on it but it was too thin and had massive "ghost touching". I took it apart again and used the thicker gorilla tape this time and everything works fine now.

I personally like the TE20 Ferguson over the 9N and the 2N Fords but I like how ford used a spacer on the front of the axle pivot pin and then recommended washers / shims on the back of the pin to keep the axle pivoting instead of pivoting and a ever so slight wobble…. taking some of the strain off the support arm pivots and front pins and even less stress off all the steering components….. Maybe this was just Henry propaganda but it seems right…..

Gd day Kevin At 8-26 IH tractor. Neighbour had one & put V-8 flathead into Had lots of power could not keep it cool even though that rad looked a fair size. Yes the neigh our that had super 55, now I don't know if he had green 550, but he did get a red 550, bought new with loader on. Another neighbour to 70"s dodge truck I think 318, cut it off behind cab jointed it to a Massey 44 rear end "Trucktor" I wonder if that Oliver lawn tractor does not belong to "Curtis Graham" JD I heard is coming out with pkup truck ??? Boy that tractor rim was reasonable. Ths for showing

The Cockshutt Hart-Parr at 9:00 was at Lindsay lol pretty sure it was in your video.. Great job filming 😊

Hi Kevin, Are you sure you called the 8N's correctly as far as side and front dist.? It didn't look that way to me.

Thanks

Beste Waar haal je de onderdelen van de gasstang?

When you're done with it, just send it down to Missouri. I am amazed on your perseverance on working on these old tractors, not to mention your ingenuity on solving problems and broken parts.

I’m enjoying this 550 series. Thanks!

G day Kevin Boy interesting. Now pto, I was told & if u look on tack U will speed 1000 pto speed. I was wondering if u can show how that works. Whenulling pto stub off? Yes white grille makes it look more like 550 did. Ths

Heres a how to video- doesn't actually show you how, just points at and talks about what they did :/

Thanks for the video, Kevin. Makes me want to go out in the garage and fire up one of my hit and miss engines. Have not had one run in a few years now. Take care.

thank you for the info steps and time you took.

For anybody wondering, he mentioned a massey 135 and Ford 3000. Both would handle the wc88 just fine. I run mine with an International B-414 diesel. It is right around that 35 pto hp zone, and it handles it great. Pulls hard on big wood, but im not running 8" through it unless it is soft, maybe punky already, and i don't think these chippers would hold up to constantly feeding big wood into them, especially if it is hardwood. And, i am like most guys running these things, 5-6" is usually going to firewood, and the bigger opening is just a better way to squeeze branches through. I really like the idea of the ones that have more like 8×10 infeed opening or even bigger, but wider one way. Woodland Mills has that newer 810 that is made like that. I'm not sure how well it is working out for them. It is direct drive, which gets the infeed down a little lower and is supposed let the torque of the tractor pull through better, but it looks like too many moving parts for my taste. I like the 88.

I wish my wc88 had a lever to raise that infeed wheel up...i might have to look into modding it one day. You can't easily and/or safely feed short pieces like punky firewood rounds or splits.

I bought the wc88 over other brands in part because of how high that chute gets the chips. I wanted to be able to load my dump truck, and it works great for that.

I do appreciate being taken to these shows, Thanks!

G day Kevin I live about 10-12 klms from Waterloo. I know were Waterloo Mfg is now. Did not know they made steam engines After u reading different towns from middle Ont. I am surprised at so many Ths for now

You should be working for a half million a year as a top engineer at Chrysler. You'd save the poor folks who buy their vehicles a lot of headache and money. ;) :)

Setting the gap on that anvil knife was one thing i didn't like also, i made a wooden go/no go gap gage to set my old chipper, but all you can do with this one is eyeball it and hope for the best. I am a machinist, i dont like to hope for the best, I want it verifiably correct. That said, i haven't had any problems with that part. I love the idea of using that steel pallet for a roll around storage setup. Thanks for that!
