The up close video of tillage and planting is sweet, bring it

You might want to consider a Cummins Recon KTA with a new block. You can get with the Cummins Dist. In Great Falls. Might be cheaper in the long run considering the age of the current engine.

Do a inframe .

Machine the heads and install new gaskets as an inframe is expensive but a machine job is cheaper

How much rain have y’all got lately??

Where are the flags on the 600?

As a guy who sometimes operates standard forklifts, I gotta say. That man is a gangster!

I know the views are just everyday life to you but from a guy in Ohio its amazing. Ive been to Montana once when I was 13 and I still cherish that vacation.

If you can make it to winter, rebuild it.

Maybe you could find a good used motor.

Sending 🙏🙏🙏 for a great year 2024💞

Just curious guys how many acres do you blokes farm by watching what you do on KZbin it looks a fair size

Last year I thing you didn't plant all your acres deing dry how about this year?

Great video Fellows, looks like seeding is done for the season, spraying be finished as soon as you get a clear day or 2, Nick wonderful drone shots just beautiful, Scott you ask the Question should we just fix the Gasket or do a a full rebuild, for the Big Bud, it is of my opinion that if you are going to pull the Head Off ,I think the Big Bud being around 40 years Old should have a complete rebuild of the Motor regardless of a Leaking Head gasket, when you pull it down Scott ,your half way there, as you have already replaced the Bushes & Bearing on the Steering and draw bar, and timing & extra, it would be wise to make the motor like New and get another 40 years out of the Big Bud thats my thinking, Bob you & Kobi make my day, Bob the senior & Kobi senior Scout , getting the best out of life looking for the Rabbits, enjoying life to the fullest, on that note Fellows, Greetings from Down under , God Bless, Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.

majestic intro - luv you guys - God bless you all and prayin for great weather creating great crops - keep up the good work with your great attitudes

In frame overhaul

Re: coolant leaking solution. In every system, there is a competition for limited resources. Money, or the cost of money, is nearly always one of them. Time is another. Which path you take to repair the engine should be determined by the best balance of those resources - present and projected.

Another great intro to this video, well done. Good to see some moisture, hope you get more!

God not enough respect goes out to a farmer for everything that goes into keeping equipment running through planting and harvest to get food on the tables hates off to all the farmers.

If you’re going to keep the tractor, I think you are. Then spend money put a full rebuild into it.

Is it a solid head or 3 dual cylinder heads? If it's a single head have it resurfaced, each dual cylinder head is simple, resurface the damaged head. Do the minimal to Keep planting and tear it down afterwards

Best farm video on youtube, IMHO

Pull heads do the gaskets to get you by and after planting season then rebuild whole motor over winter

I would do a complete over haul,or it will just be one thing after another, Do a full rebuild and be done with it.

Do a complete engine rebuild

Hey Nick, who selects the music for the videos? I truly appreciate the classical aspect of your selections beautiful music.

My thoughts are "cry once" I would rebuild the motor. because you have to pull the heads you are half way there

See how the pistons look and do a full rebuild. Then hopefully you guys won't have to mess with it for a long time

Hey Nick, haven’t seen any updates on your house. How’s it going? You’re probably moved in already right can you show us please? Thanks dude appreciate it.👍👍👍👍

Always lovely to see Old Glory waving on your equipment but to be respectful of her she should always be raised higher than any others displayed. Love the channel.

Did you not have a k19 on the floor somewhere? But really 35 years in machinery running workshops. Rebuild it properly. Patching gaskets never works. The engine has done that many hours all the hard and soft parts will be tired. And companies like IPD parts sell good aftermarket parts for these. Buy all bearings and bushes. All psitons and liner kits. Full set of rocker bushes and shafts. All new valves and guides and when a good machine shop sort out your block and crank and heads it is really just an assemble job. Consider how many years it lasted and give it a big birthday. You will thank yourself later on. And consider you have a few other tractirs just as old so you dont want one of them to start playing up and then have to patch that up and worry about when this one will break down again.. work smart not hard. Or go hard or go home is a good motto as well. Keep it up guys.

I would check compression before you pull the heads. Depending on that and what it looks like when you pull the heads, I’d decide from there. I like the repowering with a Cat but that might not be financially positve.

Repair project would depend on engine hrs, oil pressure, blow by, cost, replacement schedule if any, etc.

How the yard honks at you if you don’t pull away 5.2 milliseconds after getting loaded

Definitely do the In-Frame, if you can make it through tillage and planting, go ahead and do the overhaul. JMO. 🤟🏼💪🏼😎

Price out a crate engine for starters

Great video!

Another great into, Tks guys.Keep them coming!!’

Do the rebuild

The triumphant honking lmfao

If the heads are coming off, might as well assess if decking is needed. Hopefully, a re-sleeve isn't needed.

Id rather spray in the rain ya its gonna diulute a bit.but its gonna go where ya want it not theee rows over before it hits the field .

Well if you spend a few thousand and it don’t work. I guess the next question is. How long ago was it overhauled? I would say but the bullet and overhaul.

Rebuild that motor if the hour meter says it's time, or if you find too much wear once you pull the heads. Otherwise, deck/surface the heads and put 'er back together. BTW, YT decided to unsubscribe me from your channel again. I'm sure you're aware of this little tactic, which I don't understand.

Rather than using the fertiliser in the air-cart next year, might look at Bio-Agtives in Southern Alberta (2 hours or so away) using tractor engine exhaust to help grow their crops with.

You guys have more trouble with them Big Bud tractors than anybody I’ve ever seen

I would look at the cylinders and see what the wear looks like.. ring ridge, cross hatching ect... If that looks decent.. I would get the head fully rebuilt and machined... Can always scope the mains and rod bearings from bellow... How many hrs on the engine is really where ya get a perspective on what is due for replacement..

The 2 big buds working together is some sight

There is an old saying, If it ain't broke ... Just do the heads until you get more symptoms.

Was 1 of you at the class 2day in FB?, I think I seen you there
