Farmall 450 Gas Engine Tiking Time Bomb Pt2

[@theda850two]

Love them 450s, we had a diesel when I was a kid in the 60s, It had the factory wide front, we needed all the acreage to make that thing turn....😮

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Yeah, from what I hear, the Schwartz front ends supposedly turn better than the factory wide fronts? I know my 450 Diesel will definitely turn better lol

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Well thank you, thats very kind! Ill be posting a new video tonight!

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

I watched that short and we are all glad you found that bolt loose before it was too late. I'm enjoying watching this process so keep it up and hope you have a blessed rest off the weekend my friend.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Thank you again for watching!

[@davidmoore2942]

Looking forward to this build, good catch on the rod bolt.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Thanks for watching! I have a ton of videos on their way!

[@brokenwrench1]

when we rebuilt the disk brakes on farmalls we had graphite paste grease we coated the ball bearing dimples

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Yeah that works great as well!

[@cathymuehring893]

Ive worried about rod bolts comming loose because some of my tractors dont use keepers, just tourqed down fine threads. You are working on some great tractors, very educational.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Its definitely a worry, if keepers aren't used I like tooth washers as well.

My favorite Farmall... a 4fiddy . I have an antifreeze problem with my one and have to fix it. See you have a M&W governor

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Yeah the 450s are mine as well! Yeah it was pretty cool to see it has the M&W on it! Hopefully you get yours squared away.

Looking at how similar that is to the 300U, I wonder how the 300U engine doesn't tear off the bell housing. I think I want to fabricate some side rails, if only to hold it all together. Go U around the front and add some bolt tensioners against the front piece (bolster?). I guess those are already present when it has the loader stuff on it.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

The center wishbone under the utilities help add strength , so no worries brother.

[@___PK__]

@@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335 True, that thing buttresses against the bell housing. Thanks.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

@___PK__ Yeah its not an awful design but makes dropping the pan a little more difficult. You gotta loosen them to get it out. The only design flaw on the utilities was the steering box. They are the problem child , especially if someone puts on car tires with a wider contact to the ground versus a 3 rib.

[@___PK__]

@@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335 Yes, I ended up rebuilding our steering box. I don't try to turn unless I'm rolling. And anyone running up to reef on it gets yelled at 😂

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

[@PapaJ5667]

1 st comment ......lol but anywho glad you caught that rod bolt

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Yup your 1st! 😁 Yeah man, its definitely a good thing !

[@garethfletcher8514]

It must have been the guy that owned it before us because we never rebuilt it we never really even messed with the tractor

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Yeah thats what I remember you saying that you guys haven't really done much with it. Its coming along beautifully though, just got the engine back together tonight! Lots of videos are coming out soon of its progress!
