You really need a parts washer, I enjoy watching you fix all that stuff, great job

I second the need for a parts washer - cringed a bit while the front diff was reassembled. I don't think the outer o-ring for the differential housing was replaced.

[@ProctoLogic]

[@idahoduckhunter]

He must leave out a parts washer just to increase the number of comments and interaction on his videos. Only thing that makes sense.

[@workaholic5318]

That input bearing is likely as bad as the two you replaced, so now you have that rust contaminating the rest of your work.

When your taking bearings in and out, I'd suggest using a brass punch to protect the parts. A small arbor press may be a good investment too.

[@raptorgamer8878]

And freeze the bearing the night before.

[@kaslkaos8447]

and maybe invest in a quanity cylinder hone with interchangable stones.

Just a little tip. You should always warm the engine up with the coolant cap off whenever you have rebuilt an engine. Otherwise there will be air pockets in the cooling system. 👍

Best to fill seals on the back side with grease to hold the spring in place when you knock them in. I spray the shaft with silicone grease so it does not burn the lip of the seal before oil gets to it.

[@jerrywilcox9890]

Don't need to.

Love your videos, Joe. There are a few things that I wonder why you haven't invested in or don't do: 1. Parts washer (beaten to death in these comments) 2. Ball peen hammer 3. A lift 4. Presure wash the vehicles before you work on them. 5. An i.v. type stand with a container to hold gas so you can feed the carb with the gas tank off. Not hating, just saying.

Would you mind doing a video going over your inventory cycle? What you hold onto, what you're selling, and what that whole process looks like? You work on so many projects, it's obvious you aren't keeping them all. I'd love to see a zoomed out view of what you do with the machines, be it reselling and going over those financials, or what have you.

[@1776foreverfollowed]

As a mechanic of many fields, I watch different videos here and there and I actually enjoyed this one! You did good and only complain is ease up on the anti seize lol the smoking when I saw it on first start up made me chuckle with your reaction. There will almost always be a little smoke from a fresh rebuild from assembly lube, residual oil, etc. left over. The length and detail of this video was enough to be satisfied! Keep em coming forsee and I'm now another subscriber for you!

Check your valve clearances before jumping into an engine rebuild.

[@meco72104]

Dude love your videos, you do awesome work. But you really need a parts washer. You can make one with a used fuel pump and kerosene. Get a container that will hold the kerosene and a old sink that will drain to the container, add a strainer so parts don't get washed down the drain, add a parts washing brush. And your ready to go. Use a 12 volt battery or a 12 volt adapter, with a switch to turn it on and off.

[@ericbowers71]

Tip on the seal installations… you can use a socket large enough to fit just over the seal and hammer it in lightly for a uniform install.

[@186scott]

When putting the new seal in instead of using an extension (may damage /warp the new seal) find a socket that has the same inner and out diameter as the seal and hit that so the seal seats properly

What diff fluid did you put in. They only recommend Polaris demand drive fluid for the magnet to work properly. Anything thicker than a 5 weight oil, it will not disengage. Even trans fluid is a little thick.

[@martymcmannis6581]

This channel is always entertaining. I love it when you use break in grease on one set of bearings, then oil on another . I'd use grease from the tube that is why they made a little device that fits on the end of a grease gun that looks like a needle. It's to fill new bearings. So entertaining. Also never will use starting fluid. It would save his leg, and save the starter/battery

Next time, place a couple small 2x4 blocks under the piston when installing the cylinder. Will give you more room to work when installing cylinders and compressing rings

That hub. I Clean em with some wd 40 and cylinder hone then finish with brake clean so grease will tack tight and hold those big needle bearings in. Doing great job.

[@michaelmacdonald7342]

That front diff should have been filled with Polaris Demand Drive fluid - it is very light not regular gear oil, I know someone who used gear oil like that and had issues, a parts washer or even a container with some Varsol works great, the parts looked dirty going back in. I like to do the same type of work rebuilding the old bikes. Enjoyed the video.

I would think selling a machine that was put together dirty on the internet would be hard to sell and make a profit. Merry Christmas!

[@luuk-out-below9804]

It's ready again for submarine duty! Good rebuild. I would suggest using the polaris fluid for that front diff. Its thinner, allows the magnet to pull some junk out. Run it hard in 4wd and change it out a few times to see if it clears up. There should be a fill on the top or side and a drain on the bottom. By the way that drain cap was stuck on doesn't look like it was ever changed in the past. I change mine out on a ranger at least once a year its always darkish and it goes in clear yellowish. Always junk on the magnet plug.

[@MrJmattr3]

Parts washer and a lift table would make it so much easier.. great video!

[@brianmenzer487]

Holy cow you need a parts washer! Especially with the volume of rebuilding you do. That front diff will never last. So much grit and grime was left behind. Can't just use brake cleaner and wipe it down with a rag. That does not get all the grit and grime out of all the little recess. That stuff will come loose, when mixed with the new oil and grind all those gears and bearings up. Cleanliness is godliness when it comes to rebuilding stuff like. A good parts washer is cheap compared to redoing it....

[@lesliesmith2586]

You need one of those ultrasonic cleaners. Or maybe that’s not your goal, to make them super clean. When you are putting the valve keepers in, a little grease where they contact the valve stem will help keep them in place.

Growing up I had to fix everything that I broke because I couldn't afford brand new and I certainly couldn't afford have somebody else work on it. I remember always having a big pan of diesel fuel and a parts brush. You don't have to worry about it catching on fire And your parts aren't going to flash rust after you clean them. Spritzing it with W840 and wiping with a towel seems like it would just absorb far too much time.

[@papachis9535]

Love your stuff Mr Vintage, but I really don’t understand about not getting rust grit off and out of the basket bearing, and then also (apparently) using the same gritty gloves to fit the brand new bearings.
