My brother pasted 2 years ago and he loved rebuilding tractor 2m 1md 3 he you done a great job

[@georgehealy8350]

I love it Andrew, old tractor revivals and restorations are just a joy to watch. Thanks for documenting and sharing with us

[@andymack5093]

Well done, Andrew, by the brief glimpse we got of it finished, you are going to win the show!! I have an old David Brown P25 you have now enthused me to restore. Great Videos !!

Μπράβο Συχαριτηρια τέλεια δουλειά....την καλησπερα μου από την όμορφη Ελλάδα Δημήτρης...

[@wazza33racer]

Very cool to see that the engine actually used cylinder sleeves......thats a quality feature. Get a welder, run beads of weld down the inside of the liner to shrink it........works very well, completely safe. Just cover up areas that are a concern with weld splatter with wet rags.

[@miguelgutierrez-ko5pk]

Felisisades x tu gran trabajo amigo excellent .

[@romandybala]

Wow. I had a childhood friend who was ambidexterous. Havent seen another one till I saw you use hammer with either hand.Pretty rarae thing. Great work on that tractor.

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello your very good. Nice to watch someone with skill and knowledge. Have a great day.

[@jrgreiner]

Andrew, your power-less backing skills as your dad pushed you off the trailer and avoiding the flower bed/rocks was most admirable. ;-)

[@thesmallenginekid]

Thanks. Have to act quickly and calmly in situations like that.

[@jrgreiner]

@@thesmallenginekid lol right? Of course you know it would've been YOUR fault if you hit anything tho. ;-)

Well done young man, you are very knowledgeable and meticulous in what you do. Refreshing to see a young man with such dedication to his craft.

[@brianclark2876]

Amazing video ! You definitely have knowledge in mechanics, and skill ! Nice job !!

[@HarrryClaudeLaBar]

Great to witness so much knowledge in a man so young. Keep it up young man.

[@alexgillies4183]

This is not your typical millennial! 😄I found this channel after spotting a old Farm-all lawn-ornament and thinking "that would be fun to get running", so I searched KZbin and found what looked like the exact tractor being restored. Great content!

[@downrightme6811]

I love your passion for restoring these old tractors. Great work 😊

[@FurryAnimator]

so true! ❤❤😁😁😁😁👌👌

[@brianclark2876]

Great job ! Tractor looks great ! Amazing video ! Thanks

[@chamindapathirana3931]

🎉Very good job

[@wadehiers]

at 11:45, you should always tighten from the middle of the cover out to the ends... so if there's any wrinkle in the gasket, you are "chasing" it to the ends

[@carlmarinaccio503]

Great stuff Drew! I hope you won. i got a place you can store it and visit anytime you want. Get hitting the books!

[@RodneyPowell-g6m]

Good job youngster

[@norseman5041]

Nice work, heating up the block would ease so set in the sleeves.

[@grantmagnuson4883]

Fantastic work, Andrew, “ just a few acres Farm” on KZbin, Pete has a series of videos, completely rebuilding Farmall MD

[@douggillock]

In my opinion you should win this restoration great job man

[@sneaks01]

Great video!! You are so knowledgeable! 😊

[@philhall5609]

Great video!!!!!! Always cut away from you!!!! I would make a hydraulic press. I did at 15 and still use it in my old age.

[@thesmallenginekid]

Hydraulic press has been on my project list for 2 years. I’ll get around to building one eventually.

[@jayss10]

Ok so I guess I'm gonna be the crotchety old man here but hope to spread some knowledge here so you don't damage things. So I grew up on a farm many years ago and we had a couple of Farmall M and 400/450 tractors and rebuilt them a couple of times as a kid. There is something you need to know about the blocks on these old Farmalls. And I hope some other folks are taking note of this. This tribal knowledge is being lost as the old farmers that rebuilt these in their machine sheds with OE IHC parts are dying off. Back in the day Farmall's machining tolerances for the sleeve bores in the block varied ALOT. What they did is actually had various different OD of sleeves to fit the various different bores in the block. The sleeve bore actually had a sliding (if I remember right) A-E scale of sleeves and the difference between the OD of a A to E sleeve could be .007" which is ALOT on a press fit sleeve. Farmall when machining the blocks would actually stamp on the deck the on what size of sleeve you needed. You were moving way too fast and the camera didn't focus but you can very clearly see an "A" @ 8:35 which is the smallest. It appears but I can't be sure the 2,3 were C sized. I'll bet the other sleeves probably went alot easier and you wonder why. That explains why you broke the sleeve and why it got so tight so fast. BTW, folks Farmall is not the only company that did this. Because the OE stuff is gone and everything is now a nominal size you need to be checking the sleeves and boring these blocks accordingly.

[@thesmallenginekid]

This is super interesting information. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Great job big daddy keep the videos coming!

[@jerrythecoo3295]

Amazing job Andrew!……….. 👀😎👏👍🌟👋✌️🙂🇨🇦

[@moseshancock3336]

This is a tractor like all the older tractors you can work on them yourself and they have style like older trucks and cars 😊😊😊😊

[@farmerbill6855]

Good job young man. I enjoy your attention to detail. Although, as thorough as your engine rebuild is, why not grind the camshaft? Those old tractors had notoriously badly ground camshafts in them due to the sheer volume of engines they were making. It's a '42 with a factory wide front? Rare indeed considering the war. Nice job. Best regards from Indiana.

[@thesmallenginekid]

Factory wide front, it has the setback plate as well to retain same wheelbase as the narrow front. I would have got a custom ground performance cam but I wound not have had enough time to get it done before the restoration competition.

[@farmerbill6855]

@@thesmallenginekid still and all, it's a beautiful thing. You've done a heck of a job. Does it get to work?

[@gearoidmason2350]

A lovely project

[@brianferguson6278]

Enjoy your videos! I was/am concerned to see you striking Cast Iron with your Hardened steel mallets, Maybe a Brass bar between the cast and the steel mallet would be a better impact material. Or a Brass headed mallet, or softer alloy. You will be damaging cast iron parts or machined gears at some point and wishing you had used a brass bar at some time,. How do I know... I have made this error myself. Life is a learning curve for all of us. On the whole nice work!

[@MrJeep75]

Awesome job

[@joelcullum]

Were you able to buy just one sleeve to replace the one that broke, or did you have to buy entire set?

[@RAKINAUS]

Good work!! shame about the SD card, they are so small, ive done that too. Some Loctite bearing retainer on a new bearing will fix those spinners, but where will you find that shaft!?

[@dadaautoengineering]

Wow very good tractor workers comp and all tractor workers

[@carlthor91]

When you switched to the steel plug, I was wondering if that would happen. The same happened installing sleeves in a Case DC4 engine. NEVER use steel, always a dead blow. Figured out later the steel drives the liner down with such force the sleeve flange snaps aff in tension. TWANG! Best wishes from the far North.

[@garrydonnelly6433]

Pete Larsen from Just a Few Acres would be happy with your work on this tractor I'm sure. He is very experienced with renovating old tractors. Cheers and keep up the good work Andrew. Good Luck in November.

[@angusmackay967]

I’ve done two fordson tractors that looks a good one

[@Jezowskit]

Beautiful tractor!!

[@RiasatAli-d9q]

Pakistan 🇵🇰 I love sir

[@Redhackle]

Wow. Talented.

[@KenSlaton]

When I put new sleeves for my pistons i put them in dry ice instead of the freezer. Didnt need to hit them with anything. Just dropped right in.

[@thesmallenginekid]

Next time I rebuild a sleeved engine im going to use liquid nitrogen to install sleeves.

[@RogerSwier]

Please remember when ever using a cutting torch on wheels make with a tire mounted on the wheel sure the tire has no air in it. The super heating of the air in a tire next to a wheel that is being welded or torched will make the tire explode. Has killed more than one person.

[@thesmallenginekid]

Good point. Thanks.

[@jongraeber8245]

Awesome work, you have my vote!

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

And when your done it will be good for another 80+ years!

[@edkennard72]

Andrews you could shoot a 10-hour video non-stop and I was sitting just plug my phone in and watch it from front to back and a lot of times I watch them two or three times to make sure I didn't miss nothing

[@vadimtumanov2207]

Гильзы молотком не забивают, либо пресс, либо винтовой сжим!!!!

[@craigalston2208]

Im going to assume that you let the air out of the front tire before you used that torch to cut that bolt ?

[@thesmallenginekid]

Right, someone else also let me know the air should be let out before heat near the tire as we know heat makes air expand. Thanks for the reminder.

[@kenkerber-gl2ng]

What do you do with all of the tractors that u work on?

[@skn9895]

Breaking a sleeve is my biggest fear when building an engine. My W9 needs sleeves, but very expensive NOS is all that’s available. You can buy a whole set of “M” sleeves for the price of one W9 sleeve. It’s crazy. 😢

[@thesmallenginekid]

I thought they had the same engine?

[@faithwalk2cor578]

I know its been a year but give people 2 options for watching your videos. 1) Full Length 2) Shortened Length

[@jwrappuhn71]

Excellent.

[@danielprivate7442]

Make sure you bring pictures of your restoration job. Let the judges see that you managed this without the benefit of a garage. Hardcore man.

[@thesmallenginekid]

Dirty disassembly and cleaning outside, then we moved it in the garage to stay clean for reassembly.

[@lahcenoutghouliast6180]

❤

[@markamcampbell5795]

did you pack the oil pump with grease or vasiline before you installed it so it will prime?

[@thesmallenginekid]

No, just some assembly lube.

[@Steventhedieseltechapprentice]

Awesome!

[@markamcampbell5795]

where did you get the parts and how much did it cost?

[@joelcullum]

What brand? and color?paint did you use??

[@gearoidmason2350]

Is there still a good supply of spare parts for them still.

[@jamesherald5050]

Put your sleeves in the freezer before you slide them in the block. Makes life a bit easier

[@scaniamania59]

The electrics: are they 6v or 12v ?

[@Krugozir]

Цікаво те що за такий період стоянки трактора задня гума як нова!

[@hillbillyhicks8102]

Look I know 10 different people will tell you how to do this rebuild. But listen I would not use HI tack to hold your gaskets in place. Once this drys you will never get that gasket off without scraping a little bit at a time off. I came across a gasket held on by hi- tack and I finally got the gasket off by spraying with gasket removal spray. I would spray the gasket down and let it soak in. Then I would scrape a layer off then spray soak and scrape a layer off. It don't seem like much but that oil pan gasket to what seem to be an hour to get to the point I could use a wire wheel to get the last of it off. I will never forget about that one hi- tack moment in my life. Also you have a John Deer shirt on when you restoring a red IH tractor at the end of the videi.

[@AverageGreaseMonkey]

Doesn't matter what shirt he's wearing lol.

[@jayfalcy]

@andrew hanna what part of New Jersey did you get this from?

[@thesmallenginekid]

near Vineland, it is nice in south Jersey, lots of farmland

[@jayfalcy]

​@@thesmallenginekid nice that's only a couple towns over from me the end results looks awesome!

[@johnwythe1409]

That transmission was disheartening to see. Looks like somebody ran it with water in the oil. Hopefully you can find a good counter shaft, or build that one up and use a lathe to get it back in spec. Final product looks great. Did you have to get another sleeve? Never seen one break like that. Looks like it was defective. Hopefully they gave you a replacement.

[@thesmallenginekid]

I did end up getting another sleeve. I think it was my fault breaking it. I hit it too hard at the end.

[@gordonloree5341]

Old farm alls have a tendency to leak water into the transmission. The location of the cover/access plate is the design issue.

[@wowcreativethings]

Good job 👍

[@sergeysemenchev6132]

Под блок нельзя было подставить упор, чтобы он не тресся на консольно револьвере при монтаже и демонтаже гильз? Как там болты еще не вырвало от таких ударов!

[@jasonthomas288]

I suggest you put the sleeves in the freezer for a few hours first

[@thesmallenginekid]

We did overnight. Next time I am going to bring the block and sleeves to work and use liquid nitrogen.

[@radhe-krishna14]

In witch contry made it?

[@muthuvelpalanisamy-yo3mt]

True good

[@bruceeggleston2871]

Where did you get sleeves and tires

[@thesmallenginekid]

You can get sleeves from steiner. I got tires from a local company. Saltamontes Tire in Bridgeport CT

[@Harry-ll2xm]

Why didn’t you put the liners in the freezer first before bashing them in the block

[@MrJeep75]

How did you learn all of this

[@thesmallenginekid]

Read manuals and then figure it out. Make some mistakes. Commenters here and on TT have been helpful

[@andrewkirtley6565]

When watching the video it seems that most of the shock forces from hammer are lost by the lack of support at front of engine 😢

[@geraldharkness8830]

excellent video

[@ourv9603]

All the new tractors & combines use hydro static transmissions so there no more having to split the tractor in half to do a clutch or whatever. Glory Days!!! Of course in a few short years all equipment will be electric & THEN repairs will really be a breeze! !

Every system comes with its own challenges to repair.
