farmall a engine install and cold start pt 6

[@TheNortheastAl]

After watching this series on the Farmall, I can’t understand the criticism that some people feel compelled to offer. This was one of the best rebuilds I’ve ever seen. There’s so much understandable instruction and guidance here. Viewers will learn something new no matter what skill level they’re presently at. Excellent job!

[@geraldswain3259]

Never mind all the know all nascar professional key board engine builder's!!! .Having spent 40yrs in the trade and think I speak for the vast majority . You have done a cracking job considering the funds available and I would certainly put my name to it!. Regards from over the pond . A limey B.

[@mustie1]

thanks gerald

[@alynicholls3230]

i agree with gerald, well done, that engine reminds me of old singer car engines.

[@dereknicholson4831]

I kept thinking BMC B-Series. The only thing I'd have done differently would be to keep the pushrods matched with the lifters, the same as the lifters were kept matched with the cam lobes. Costs nothing other than a piece of cardboard with some holes punched in it. But @ 10hrs/year, probably not important. Might only last 50 years instead of 100. :)

[@janlabij7302]

Grooves? They don't call those splines any more???

[@kjellringstrom6217]

Reminded me of an old Volvo B-18 =)

[@hankthebugman]

That was an interesting series. Seeing the oil drip from the rocker assembly, while the engine was running was cool. First time I saw that. I cheered when she coughed to life after you plugged the intake manifold leaks.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Darrin , I watched all 6 parts . Never commented till now ! PERFECT JOB .. You did very well .. Thumbs up man..

[@mustie1]

thanks man

[@brianrobertson7599]

Great videos,and reminds me of my fitting days. Very thorough and old school. Well done Mustie1.

...Mhmmm! ;) *ThumbsUp* in 2019...Mustie, I started watchin' yer videos about 2yrs ago an' I've binged on yer skills ever since ;)...my twin-brother Adam & I love yer videos, man...love th' 1st/3rd person perspective we have as a viewer an' th' way ye hae us interact w/ye...Guid Style, Sir, Guid Style.

[@johndahl6651]

I say like shawn ...very good work...and i learn very mush from your video every time..take care from john denmark

[@gerardb.ducoudray8881]

You are very thorough in your diagnostics. repairs, and rebuild. You do not let anything get by you! Your videos are both interesting and 'instruct-able.' I watch all the 'farmall' rebuilt! Well done. Thank you.

[@TimDyb]

As a young boy growing up on a farm in Texas circa 1955, I remember watching my Dad and older brothers overhaul the engines on Farmall B & C tractors. I was too young to understand what all was going on then but watching this 6 part overhaul video now gives me an appreciation of what my Dad and brothers accomplished. Great videos!!

[@tracymclaughlinholmes677]

I enjoyed this series immensely. We had the same tractor up until a few months ago. She was in rough shape when we got her. My husband spent a lot of time and love getting her going again. She was a farm tractor who we named Grumpy (she was cantankerous when she wanted to be). She would till, plow & disk land, plow snow with her belly blad, brush hog, belly mow, and even pulled a few stuck vehicles from their muddy holding cell. We loved her so much that when we got married on our farm my now father-in-law drove her to the upper field where the ceremony was held while I stood on her back bar. I found your channel fairly recently and am loving your videos!

[@johnmullican3138]

Great job, not many videos on rebuilding a farmall A motor on KZbin. I watch your videos all the time and always like the content.

[@kristianpallone8726]

Hey Darren, no offense to your better half , but I just wanted to say I love you and your videos. You make us feel like as if we were right there with you thru the whole process. ( and you know I've been with you, subscribed many years ) I've learned a bunch 😉👍

[@66burnout]

I can’t stop watching your videos! My wife can’t understand why I am interested in you fixing a lawn mower, Vespa or metermaid vehicle. It’s just cool. Gets me motivated to work on my own projects in the garage. Keep up the great work!! I have learned so much basic troubleshooting just by watching what you do. Thanks again!!

[@aleblanc3547]

Awesome series, Mustie. I had no idea the process took that long, so it makes me appreciate the effort even more.

[@blairguinea6811]

Awesome job Mustie1 great series, its just like not missing a thriller !.......you certainly are the NUMBER 1 mechanic, Thank you Sir

[@danielsteele7544]

Master mechanic, well done ,it was fun.Very resourceful the way you machined the clutch alignment tool to get the two parts back togeather.Great common sense you have Mustie.

[@mkrobert51]

I would just like to say thank you for these videos on the Farmall tractor. My dad purchased a used one in the late 60's and used it until around the mid- 70's when he traded it in for a Massey-Ferguson 135. The owner of the business where my dad purchased his new tractor had a buyer for the Farmall before the ink dried on the new purchase. The buyer followed my dad home and loaded up the Farmall and all of its implements. That was the quickest resale I have ever seen. My dad just laughed and said that was the only vehicle he ever owned that appreciated in value. The buyer paid more for the tractor than my dad purchased it for. Again, thank you. I really enjoy your videos and the work that you do. From New Orleans, Karen R.

[@joejackson9343]

Just watch the series and I loved it. I worked on this tractor back in 1973. I hung the front end for a while plus other jobs on the assembly line. Brought back some good memories. I have a friend in a nursing home that would have loved to worked with you on that engine. Can't tell you how many years he worked in the engine room building those motors. I only been watching your videos and trying to catch-up. You inspired me to work on my Troy bolt tiller and it now runs. Thanks again keep up the fun videos you make.

[@MRrwmac]

I followed this project series as they were published and thought I had commented here then! Obviously not. Excellent rebuild from start to finish! Great videography! Thanks for the journey!!

[@rodneylockwood8310]

Great video really enjoy your updates every evening. Doesn't look like there is nothing you can't fix. Great job

[@robertgrove2131]

I used to teach diesel mechanics for the military, its allies, and civilian mechanics for depot level and new equipment mechanics. (warranty mechanics.) I find your videos very informative and they are paced very well they keep peoples interest very well I always had students tell me they learn by doing and you do that very well. even when you are not sure you let people know that you don't know a lot of instructors tell you to do it their way and it is the only way. please don't change the way you explain things. I find even when you are wrong you will let them know what was wrong and aren't afraid to be corrected. I found that you must be an entertainer to a certain amount. I am a big fan of your videos awesome job.

[@MRrwmac]

Excellent work! Very Very interesting to see not only the intricacies of the engine rebuild but how a tractor mounts as part of the frame (per say). I'm hoping you enjoyed the work and figuring things out as much as we (I) did! Appreciate how you brought us along on the project and how well you explained everything! Would like to see it all buttoned up and running. (Don't forget the dipstick)!

[@PeterColmore]

Hey Darren from New Zealand just wanted to say how much I've really enjoyed watching this 6 part repair, i must also say i really like your little funny comments (Viagra for engine hoist) and the fact you laugh at your own little troubles whilst putting it together. Awesome job mate.

[@captnmike597]

A great thing about the Mustie1 videos is that it's not just Darrin's expertise but the wealth of knowledge and know-how of his many viewers. Often the viewers ask questions and make comments that I would never have thought to ask and certainly could not answer. My hat is off to all of you.

[@gymntonic]

Just found the channel a few months ago. Really enjoyed the Farmall A engine rebuild. My dad had one of those when I was a kid. I remember he had to pull it apart once to do a transmission repair. Really a solid piece of equipment.

[@beowulf5982]

I'm no "Monkey Wrench" but what i wanted to say was how much i enjoyed this series, i find your commentary so easy to listen to and the way you explain things is a joy. Have a good day Sir.

[@somerandomguy3868]

great job, great video thanks for taking the time to show us. I used a piece of broom stick once for a clutch alinement tool, had to turn the end to fit the bushing but that worked out fine

[@paultro8457]

Why is firing an engine for the first time soooo dam exciting!?!? Haha i love it. awesome man. My father had a 1930's silver king tractor so it's great to see these things brought back to their glory.

[@andrewmargeson6646]

I really enjoyed this series of videos. I'll bet the tractor's owner is really pleased.

[@paulbrown8370]

I am not a regular but you did a great job. Thanks for the education here with these videos. I liked them.

[@2H80vids]

Just binge-watched this entire playlist from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great filming, good information throughout and no stupid music - perfect.😁👍👌 I don't have a tractor and I'm never likely to work on one but this was still great entertainment. Cheers for now, Dougie.

[@frankt6906]

My compliments to you. Your commentary, videography and calming mechanical skills are a pleasure to watch.

[@jblake62]

Excellent series enjoyed all of them. Especially your sense of humor.

[@davidfoberg3574]

I really enjoyed your engine rebuild. The pace was excellent and didn't gloss over anything important. I understand the problem with chasing parts as I'm in the middle of a HalfTrack rebuild and there aren't a lot of parts floating around the ny area. Thanks for the videos.

[@stephenrussell1766]

This was a great series, I cant wait to see it finished! I have a 1948 Farmall Cub and I was thinking of doing(or having someone do) an engine overhaul as a winter project next winter. You gave me great inspiration.

[@BRI33NOR]

As a retired mechanic, often working alone, mostly on motor cycles, but now and again some entirely different, anything between the 1930 era up to 1990 I no longer get so many black finger nails or cuts and bruises etc. But I miss most the thrill and feeling of satisfaction when something you have rebuilt starts and runs perfectly and is back in use again. The bigger the struggle the more the satisfaction. I just watched all the episodes of this one and I felt the same damned thrill when it started and sounded so good.

[@pauljones1206]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and abilities and such, as well as your wit. Love the sound effects. The Jeff Bradshaw reference was gold! Keep up the great videos.

[@johnmorris6434]

Great series on this old popper. Well done. sounds great, that exhaust sounds crisp to, Double thumbs up from England.

[@edmeetze6324]

Nice build....enjoyed seeing you troubleshoot problems and finding the best solutions 👍🏻

[@Al-Fiallos]

Awesome series. Enjoyed every segment. Thanks for taking the time to explain that the true function of the tractor didn't warrent a commercial-type rebuild. I used to rebuild engines and I have nothing to add to your technique.

[@robertlangley258]

You are going to get more business than you can handle. Due to your attention to detail and precision work and attention to cleanliness of everything I would pay you top dollar to work on anything I have, which is quite a bit. Your top-o-the hill my friend.

[@mcarroll598]

Excellent job man, you’re a heck of a mechanic. Really like how you can machine things when you need them. Like the clutch alignment tool. Really enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@stageforgejon905]

Excellent job! We have the same tractor that was my grandfather's! Now I just need to get it away from my step dad so I can restore it! This series of videos helped alot! Keep'em coming my friend!!

[@patrickbrookings]

I subscribed to your channel about 2 months ago or so, and have seen quite a few of your videos so far. I'm no mechanic, but I love to know how stuff works. My dad worked on cars though, and I often used to watch and help him with stuff on our own car (and other things), which was always so exciting! He could fix just about anything as well, often improvising like a real MacGyver :) This is by far the most fun and interesting series I have seen so far on your channel, I thoroughly enjoyed it, so thank you for that! I see there is still more about this tractor, so I will continue watching :)

[@rstephe]

Nice. Learning more with each video. Thanks for taking the time to show the cracks internally to the block. Consider moving to a warmer climate, LOL!! Keep these vids coming.

[@12Luke70]

I enjoy this series of videos a lot. Thanks for the knowledge and entertainment.

[@johngardiner6800]

Really enjoyed this series, great little tractor very much like the Allis Chalmers to look at. But what a lot of work and cost for the sake of checking the antifreeze!! l hope the owner has learnt from this!!!

[@brianladwig6259]

Mustie I think your videos are the best I don't know why people question your work I'm a diesel mechanic and I know you know what you're talking about and doing keep up the good work

[@jamiebuckley1769]

wow great series on the farmall. really enjoy your cool and calm manerizems. plus you can really teach very well. ive watched about 30 of your videos and enjoyed everyone. thanks for all you do for the youtube audiense your doing a great job and ive learned a ton from you. thanks again and ofcource ive subbed to your channell.

Most enjoyable, I just watched all six together, makes for a great movie, thanks for sharing.

Wow what a fantastic job you have done , my only Fear is damaging the tractor , l would be sweating buckets every time l took it out side , LOL !

[@bill-chichi9701]

Awesome video. Funny how those intake holes can make you second guess yourself doing the reassembly. Thx for taking us along.

[@johnkoopman1433]

I"ve watch the whole process and had my fingers crossed during this last video just hoping this thing would run. Then when you cranked it up the first time and couldn't keep it running I thought that's it something always has to go wrong at the last minute but you found the open ports on the intake manifold. Once they were plugged that sweet thing started purring like grandpa's favorite kitten. Really a great sounding machine; I never get tired of hearing a Farmall run. Good job, thanks for sharing the experience.

Good job, enjoyed all six parts, seen it done in dirt floor barns in the day, not every farmer had a temperature/humidity controlled engine room available.

[@terryhall7177]

Hearing it run brings back memories of an old Ferguson TEA 20 I once had. Nice work, and great video! T

[@johngardiner6800]

My brother in law still has a Ferguson, I don't know the model but it starts on Petrol and then goes onto TVO. Ferguson was a small firm in Ireland and invented power take off when l was a lad, l remember seeing my fist on a farm near my home near Bristol England.

[@chdurango59]

Hi Mustie;, To check the oil their are two valves on the oil pan for checking the level. love the videos!!!!!!

[@mikeduhm5754]

those 2 petcocks are for checking the oil ,but not how you think. those old farmalls were often set up to run on kerosene and low grade fuel that didn't always evaporate from the oil. with the low grade fuel you drain the bottom one, then top off to the top one, that's why there is 2 petcocks.

[@28YorkshireRose12]

I'm glad you pointed that out. . I was thinking all the way through that's what those are there for, but not knowing too much about Farmall tractors, I just wasn't 100% sure on that.

[@WIDESIDE72]

I always thought there were to so you could check “full” or “1 qt. Low”. Now i know!

[@edfuller8337]

I remember you commented about people nitpicking the way you were doing the rebuild on the motor I work for a company that was small budget and we did things a little odd never question on why you did things a certain way except for the head bolts and that was it you did a great job got it done in a decent amount of time and I'm sure did it for a budget except for the add-ons that needed to be done great work love your videos

[@jerryroll9969]

i just watched this video 9/2018 and it took me back to the one i had in the 80's i think it was a 41 and it smoked big time but she ran good. i replaced the rings in one and four took, care of that problem and i did it with the engine attached, then that left me with a front steering wheel housing that was in three places...i could not find one at the time either new or used but i chained it together and ran it as is (i little sloppy :) ). she really liked the choke to start her but once warmed up she was good. keep the rear gear boxes dry as water can find its way in and freeze the bearing. i really enjoyed this video, it really took me back!!

[@callmenortnortin467]

Sacrifice a piece of something like a shovel handle ( nice hardwood) and turn it down to a size you need(forget about the splines for your purpose) for doing clutch/flywheel alignments, Then there's always those multi size clutch alignment tool from places like Harbour Freight. Really enjoy the stuff you do on KZbin
