Refreshingly different than other channels. You're most definitely "Old School". Love it.

dont listen to people you are a good person

I am 74 now but when I was about 4 my father bought an F-12 from an old man neighbor farmer. In about a weeks time the steel wheels were replaced with rubber tires all around. Next he installed an electrical system with a battery, generator, lights and a starter. The starter was a Chevy starter. He placed the ring gear and support plate between the engine and transmission. Being in central New York State he next made a snow plow for the tractor. Added a hydraulic pump that was belt driven and a hydraulic ram on the front. As I got older it was my job to keep the driveway plowed. I spent many enjoyable hours plowing snow. We also used the tractor to haul wood as every year we would cut usually 10 to 13 cords.

At 8:30 every night, She who loves me, brings me my Meds for the evening by 9 pm the world is a far bettewr place for me. Tonight after Meds, I happened upon this, and thought now that's gonna be entertaining as hell, watching someone else work, by the way its also my favorite sport. But when you took off across the yard for a " run around the yard a little bit" the Meds were in full effect, and I know for a fact, none of the other viewers of this post enjoyed that run as much as I did. Thank you for the " Trip" around the yard:)

This made my heart smile

Glad I could help even for just a little bit!

Love those old school tractors. Reminds me of my grandfather.

[@garybarkley2286]

I just love this old stuff u have a lot of Patients to just keep fooling with it till ya get it even when u was doing to old truck u drove out of the woods under it’s on power lol my hat goes off to ya and I’ll be here watching what is next oh ya I like the gocart one as well that was something lol 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@samsnider781]

Reminds me of the 1929 Farmall regular me and a buddy of mine worked on, Good times.

[@testy518]

I grew up in the country. We didn't have a farm, but there were farms all around us and that's where i made most of my spending money. that old tractor reminds me of the ones I saw plowing the fields back then!

[@beezlebub3955]

That’s it, I’ve had it with Florida, I’m gonna move to the country soon. I know I won’t miss it here

[@roberthocking9138]

What a beautiful old tractor, well done for saving it and getting it running again.

[@chappells_custom_fab]

My dad had an old F-30. I remember helping him work on it when I was a kid. I love old tractors and this channel. I can relate to what you do on here more than I can with anybody else’s content. Probably because you’re closer to my age than a lot of the other guys lol.

[@majorpayne5289]

👍🇺🇸Ol feller down in Brooks GA had a sorta hobby tractor restore shop. I found out that lots of old tractor gears & parts were interchangeable. Helped him out a bit and learned the old school way. Good stuff. Thx ✌️

[@brucemasters9132]

Love this, I remember driving a John Deer B model for my uncle, between the hand clutch. the trip plows, the throttle, and the brakes was way too much for a 12-year-old to figure out!!

[@SuperBigdanno]

I love how the weight of that head doubled from one day to the next lol Got to say, you are becoming my favorite content creator. Always something different and not afraid to do things out side the book.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

The second time you lift something it's always heavier! Preshate it.

[@kackendall]

I'm guessing you have never had to lift a 8923 pound head back into place.

Cool tool

[@jayjones6904]

As kid would be on ole jd 2 banger in low range through orange grove he'd be behind tractor with hand plow on chain behind tractor he'd plant field peas zipper white acre peas between rows of orange trees he'd just make shallow furrows in sugar sand love the old iron ty again for memories god bless you

[@rickyharris5797]

Again great job Chad

[@SchnelleKat]

That is a big old beast F30s are getting scarce. The sound oh baby, now that's a Farmall all right. Hard to think back to those days they came like that, no mufflers! Put some Boiled linseed oil on her to get some shine! P.s I think these Rigs used an oil system called "Total loss" or something like that. Oh and that 2500 lb head bit got me rolling!! lord jesus. haha. If only they still made stuff like that.

[@mikevaske8255]

The space between the toolbox and gas tank bracket is a good place to hang your crank from. I used that for many years, the only time it came out is when the tractor tipped over.

[@clintcowles7563]

Flywheeler's tractor show Boyne Falls Michigan! July 28th to 31st. These old tractors are neat!

[@shoptalkwithbub4352]

Great video thank you for Sharing,i like your summer kitchen i thought i was the only hillbilly that did that no conditioned air you know.

[@mackdog3270]

Yeah, when I use rtv for gasket making I'll put it on the part then let it set for an hour before installing. Seems to work pretty well.

[@MAC-ws8fz]

All this needs is Andy Griffith doing a voice over from 'No Time for Sargent's'! "The best danged Channel in the whole danged KZbin!"

[@scottbrown8]

That thing vibrated so much I thought I was coming home drunk I was seeing blurry vision on a tractor

[@clodhopper946]

I helped my dad farm with a 1929 farmall regular ,, it was the predecessor of the f20 and f30... it had open steering gears,,, no water pump, was a 3 speed trans, rated 9 hp drawbar 18 on pto..always started on 2nd pull,, we pulled 2 bottom 16'' plow ,, They didnt have cabs or air cond but they got the job done with out computers...

[@DavidPemble]

Thinking about restoring an old F30, so this was very helpful. Thanks

[@ThisNThatGarage]

👍👍

[@dylandaugherty211]

Thanks for the idea for gasket repair I was bought a new one now I can save me some money thanks

[@rypkepaulusma]

I love everything about those old tractors, but my favourite part definately is the steering solution. Think about it for a minute or two. You have build yourself a tractor on a frame, working like a dream, and then you realise "Shoot, it has to steer too". Well, this is how that works out. All's well that ends well 🙂One has to realize these tractors were used as stationary motors driving a belt as much as driving tractors pulling stuff.

[@bensymington5550]

You are a very talented individual that’s awesome

[@kennethsonier1766]

Very cool watching you work on that Farmall, certainly seems to be running much better after all the after you put into it. I'm a typical New England swamp Yankee 😂 I grew up in a garage that my father owned and learn body work and auto mechanics but I am a carpenter that specializes in historic restorations for trade. Whatever arises I tackle. All respect to you 👍☮️🇺🇲

[@kevinjohnson1353]

Just watched ur bloopers, funny stuff can't wait till u put out the next bunch of bloopers, keep up the good work, ur fan Kevin

[@jjock3239]

That is a great old machine, and a fun video. I was hurting along with you when I saw you removing the cylinder head. I was hoping you would have used the engine hoist to lift it. I have done a lot of work on big block Chevies, and those heads weigh 70 lbs. In later years, I got into the habit of letting the engine hoist do the lifting for me.

[@jimwhite1061]

Cool old tractor

[@geebopbaluba1591]

I use to own a 39 model M that ran really good and I sold it about 15 years ago.

[@jameshopkins145]

If you are using modern champion plugs we’ve had a lot of trouble with them including hard starts. Went to autolites and have had really good results. Also I don’t know if that would be old enough or not but old Mc cormick stuff used cork floats and would sometimes swell and stick in the bowl causing flooding issues. Love the channel!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I almost always use autolite on everything. As far as I remember it's got a brass float. I really think the timing was the issue. On a John Deere B you want the magneto to snap right at TDC so I figured that's what this one might need too.

[@pecktox]

Boy I'm glad we don't have to crank start anymore...!! Pex

[@ernmeister54]

That was really interesting. I had never seen an oiling system like that for a valve train. The info on the timing was nice too. Really fun video;)

[@billdyke9745]

They used the same kind of loobie doob on Bugattis and Salmsons back in the 20/30s. But racing cars only run for an hour or two at a time... As with much old engineering solutions, it was better than nothing...

[@jayjones6904]

I had roller one time had many gallion of water lol really enjoy you're video can't get out and do for little while but working on it

[@farmerjbird]

I bought an F-30 at our local FFA auction a few years ago, its stuck, hope to get on it soon! I never had much luck with reusing the old head gasket, maybe once on one of my 1931 Allis-Chalmers UC tractors (I have 3) with a Continental S10 flathead 4 cylinder engine. I learned neat things in your video! I have alot of IH projects, one is an electric start 1939 F20 with an IH 2M corn picker mounted on it

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I've got another F30 that's stuck.

[@markduncan6690]

That was a easy lift for you Chad!

[@Tealmoney8571]

This reminds me of growing up my grandfather had a 1950 M. That old tractor never failed to crank.

[@bennyharper862]

FYI. Nobody takes a fist grip on the crank. It, likes, breaks thumbs if it kicks back. Couldn't see how you gripped the crank but love your videos!

[@janbill79]

that's a nice f-30, It looks so original. Your the first person I've ever seen work on one, all though, seems simular to an F-20. Thanks for figuring out a solution,and explaining the rocker oiler. old way and new way. I guess in 1930's they didn't much of an idea to keep them oiled up on top. drilling your own holes to let it drain. brilliant, I'm always a chicken to do major little change's example , I wanted a farmall H with a dipstick , didn't want to drill the hole to put in after market, so did all this work at the slalvage yard to pay and pick up a engine with a dip stick all ready drilled and installed by some one else. Was a 1947 H , for some reason I've seen other's, on 47 farmall h's from that year. someone must of been going around selling the kits in 1947. Back to watching the video, now I'm learning about F-30 magneto timing / keep up the great video's

[@Tsripper69]

You know "Eicher"? The best Tractors from Germany.

[@heidiayers2124]

Wow ✨cool tractor!!

[@lllmmggg]

If you glue that valve cover gasket to the valve cover with "yellow-snot" 3m weather stripping cement it'll line up everytime! And seal perfectly.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

That's not the problem, valve cover is bent and actually a little too big.

[@jamessmith7691]

I like that tractor. You are a common sense mechanic for sure. I saw a guy cranking his guts out, but they towed it 8ft and it fired right up. He said when they do a lot of belt work it gets that way. I'd like to see more of that crane under the tree. Good video.

[@jackdeltr9701]

As a kid I remember making gaskets even head gaskets some method but use copper sheet . All so the old tappet cover gasket take a fuel hose cut one side and fit to cover as gasket yes not good on modern engines but the old tractor last for years

[@mikevaske8255]

A brass ball peen can be used to cut the gasket, use brass only. Maybe a rubberized, similar one on an M value cover. Have you thought about putting a road gear assembly on, it mounts on the front of the transmission, leave the transmission in N and only shift the road gear, it is only in or out.
