John Deere MC Two Cylinder why won’t it turn right? I’ll show you why!!!

[@peteschiavoni]

Love your Little Tykes hammer. I used to call that my fine adjustment persuader. Lol. Terrance is in good hands. With older stuff you could take things apart and see how they work and fix them. Old school. Keep it up. Great vids

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Lol I love that hammer I originally bought it for the tanker project to beat the dents out.....it might take me a little bit but I’ll get it back together!!!

[@artillerest43rdva7]

people underestimate your skills! when you live, grow up and work on a farm . you learn from day one. willson is a manager inspector. and support friend.

[@richardbenson4048]

When I was in my teens and hanging around a garage annoying the mechanics I heard one say that a manual was only useful if the manufacturer had designed a mechanism so stupidly that it defied any form of logic. Several others on youtube that learned the way you have and aren't afraid to get in there and fix it.

[@StephenMortimer]

Had a friend who said "if another man built it it.. I can figure it out" NOTE.. women ain't built by men !!

[@possumfarms]

Thanks for posting this! Now that I finally got my MC crawler running and moved over to the barn (Just today!) - I get to do the very same thing you just did to rebuild both of the clutches and brakes on both sides. Only one is totally unworkable, the other one needs brakes, so why not just go ahead and do the clutches while I have it all torn apart!? I wasn't looking forward to the task, but you showed me that it is pretty straight forward. Now I have the confidence to go tackle those clutches! The only thing that scares me is breaking those tracks... Mine are awfully rusty!

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Your welcome I’m glad my video helped you out!!! It’s really not a bad project!!! I need to get back working on mine!! The track should come apart just fine with a good hammer and punch!!!

[@possumfarms]

​@@dirtgrainsteel - I broke a track for the first time today! Now I can attack that rusted up clutch in the final drive! Thanks again for the video!

[@dirtgrainsteel]

@@possumfarms awsome!!! I'm glad I could help you!!! I'm going to work on my MC tomorrow!!

[@possumfarms]

@@dirtgrainsteel - What size socket is on the hub to the sprocket? None of my sockets will fit and I have to go tool shopping tomorrow so I can get that hub sprocket off!

[@dirtgrainsteel]

@@possumfarms if your just taking it apart exactly like I did to get to the clutch leave the hub on just take the small bolts out that hold the sprocket on to the hub.....from what I've heard it takes alot to get that big nut off I dont know what size it is I will have to look tommrow

[@brianmeattey4151]

I've tore things apart not knowing what's going on and what to expect .and the only way to learn is to do it and I've learned alot that way .lol your the same as I was I'm 52mow but younger days was great and your not a jack of all trades just most lmao that's what I say but godbless and get-er done

[@dirtgrainsteel]

I know enough to get by lol I love taking things apart sometimes I never get them put back together

Keep up the good videos , really can relate to about everything doing !

I hate when people say no you shouldn't, It's your equipment, go for it, nothing took apart can't be put back together.

[@chrisking3826]

I have a 40c I rebuilt the right side steering clutch . For the last 8yrs. no problems . recently it will not turn right going forward. Turns right backwards. 😶‍🌫? I have 2 full sets of steering clutches. I would like to see what your finding are. How can I fine Part 2 of this video ?

[@rongrace479]

I am amazed how you can fix a lot of stuff

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Thank you! I take that as a compliment....I've been fixing stuff since I was able to walk lol

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

LOL.. 30 too young 🤣😂 I never heard anyone complain about me working on their equipment.. not even when I was 16. Doesn't matter how old or how young a person is, it's what they know.. makes a big difference if they have a mechanical mind too!!!

[@Murphyslawfarm]

100% right buddy

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day great video mate.

[@martinbenton742]

Wilson is like a friend of mine, "if I can't help, I may hinder". Lol A least he doesn't get in your way. I was totally wrong, (I don't mind admitting). I didn't think it would be that bad in there. But didn't expect the water damage either. Do you think if you sand blasted the clutch some of it could be saved? Doc

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Lol yeah Wilson most of time stays out of the way....I might be able to save some of the parts but all the clutches are junk for sure
