[@pauledmundson8132]

Looking forward to the "How I clean parts" episode. Your parts are pretty pristine looking going back together.

[@YeahJustMe]

Hoping for a true unedited behind-the scenes clip from a "Behind The Scenes" episode where Toby, while trying to simultaneously pull the ring gear assembly and film the process, lets out a stream of lubricating curse words when the bull pinion gear decides to hang up the entire works. X231, 15 feet away, immediately changes its clutch adjustment for no apparent reason- but somehow it's connected. Jump cut immediately to Senior once again shaking his head at his child's foolishness, then ambling off to a nice pancake & homemade maple syrup breakfast. :)

[@jbj27406]

Don't forget the blueberries in those pancakes, and buttermilk only--no sweet milk. In fact, self-rising flour, whole egg, and buttermilk (the real kind) is all you need. Mmm.

[@dlange89]

Tune in next time for Squatch to disassemble the engine (for reasons).

I’m very excited about the “cleaning” episode. You do a very thorough job cleaning parts before putting back together. Very interested to see methods you use. That H is getting more than a cosmetic upgrade. Haha! I hope you do a “how I paint a tractor episode” too. Thank you for all your work

“Should have done it before, oh well, we can make content out of it now.” Hey, we love the content. I find these videos very relaxing to watch.

[@edkeniston4786]

This is just like the shop I work at. A easy “cosmetic restoration” turns into a 500 man hour rebuild. I love it!

[@shanerountree3623]

I was thinking somethign similar.... "Here comes another teardown and full restoration", just like Senior's Farmall that was 'just an repair'

[@charlesmckinley29]

Those are definitely dangerous words!

[@rogernation2551]

Hooray! Preparation H just got extended. Go deep my friend, we all enjoy it. Your attention to detail,combined with your organizational skills and an obvious knowledge of the subject is beyond reproach. So rare these days, now they just label you as OCD, when all you want to do is get it right. Looking forward to more Squatch.

[@cochrandc7484]

Really enjoy any series you start ! Can’t wait for the cleaning parts episode! My OCD is always looking for good ways to clean old grimy parts without damaging anything. I find myself pausing the x231 videos just to admire the cleanliness of the assembled pieces before primer and paint.

[@johnalexander4356]

" I'm already here" and "I might as well" is why my 30 minutes projects seem to take 3 hours. And my wife of 38 years just laughs when I tell her that I will only be a short time doing something. It just happened yesterday, an hour to replace mower belts and change the oil, took 4 hours.

[@Standing-Wave]

Every time that housing tipped side to side during gear removal my heart stopped....😂 Fantastic work as usual!

[@duron700r]

The subject of bevel gear mesh was very interesting to me. Nice first (yesterday) jacket/sweatshirt! :-) Even as I get older, the smiling face on the wheel hubs still get me. Hehe.

[@richardw.foxhall3392]

How lucky are we viewers, to see the shoulda coulda admissions of a good guy explaining why he did something. And the plan to fix it better, now. Since parts cleaning is the dues you gotta pay for right and propper fit and performance. I enjoy the clean and smooth reassembly that you present. That never happens with un cleaned, chased, tapped, straightened and evaluated parts. Good stuff, Toby.

[@jjonsolomon]

"We can make content out of it now" was said just after I thought it was fascinating for you to let us in on your content planning process!

Wow, I farmed with an "H" back in the 60's. It was old then.... Now I am the old one! I will be following....

[@kevinoscarson2941]

Anti seize works, as does grease. I have found that in things that get hot Anti seize is far more effective than grease. The copper based anti seize is better than the aluminum based. Even locktite will seal a fastner and provides a bit of protection from seizures.

[@michaelwest4325]

My preference is on disimilar metal contact to keep them from coroding together, and as you say wet exposed places. But I also find it best to use where the fasteners are coming apart at least in awhile to keep them moving.

[@thomassitek5693]

Just wanted to say Thank you for your attention to detail. I find this amazing that you are so precise on every detail it would appear that you were working on a artificial heart instead of a farm tractor. your mention of showing us how you clean parts has me waiting for your next video. And finally I feel that your kind thank you at end of video is very well accepted, thank you. Thom

[@RuralTowner]

"I'm talking to you..." That earned a chuckle...

[@joe51chevy7]

Watching you having to lift everything with a cherry picker sure makes me appreciate my bridge crane.

[@joekahno]

I can understand how anti-sieze might not help much in your application. When I started wrenching on motorcycles in the early seventies a lot of bikes had cases die cast out of GOK, (God only knows). Screws were made from a different alloy that more closely resembled the metal toothpaste tubes still sold at that time. After dealing with some nasty dissimilar metal corrosion I became a believer in anti-sieze on everything except marital aids. My list of exceptions has grown over the years but it still has it's place.

[@StubProductions]

Antisieze is excellent on aluminum wheels to steel hubs on vehicles. The dissimilar metals really weld themselves together making wheel removal difficult to say the least.

[@sixtoes2313]

That much more to watch.

[@bigears4014]

I watched a clip on the two brothers which developed bobcat , it's really worth watching, methodical thinkers like you

[@archangel729]

Have you ever thought of going to your local trade school to see if the students taking c&c machining can make you any parts you may need as a part of their learning or do you want all original parts .

[@ron827]

Love the intro. I fully agree with you on the use of fluid in tires and is why I had it removed from my WD-45 tires. I added two pair of wheel weights instead. But I totally disagree with you on the use of the silver anti seize because I just love to see where it ends up; in my arm pits, in my ears, on my new shirt, on my nose, on my socks, in the crotch of my pants and as eyeshadow. :-)

[@jondavidmcnabb]

Hey Squatch, look carefully at 10:54!!! On the left side of the screen it looks like the worlds largest "Intake or Exhaust" valve for a motor...

[@kenore4003]

Is that from a steam engine?

[@jvin248]

It's really amazing to look up production numbers of all the 1940s-60s tractors compared to modern models. This Farmall was likely one of a quarter million made while modern tractors have a total of a few thousand. There won't be many parts nor parts tractors around for the modern tractors like there are for these old favorites.

[@bcbloc02]

Heck might as well check those bull gears at the slavage yard and see if they are better than your too. No need going back in this thing in 50 years. 🙂

[@Jethrosgarage]

"Lot of cleaning to do" Hey this isn't a fence row tractor. You have been in here before, it looks pretty dang clean to me as is! Not sitting in the woods half full of water and pitted gears. :) I too use grease rather than anti seize on things, and it's a joy to take something apart that's been well assembled by yourself earlier.

[@garyfeltus9801]

When you pulled the first axle housing . I said look at that perty squatch gasket. Better than the manufacturer put out. Great video as always.

[@junior1138]

Look forward to seeing you tear down the duff unit. You know you’re going to, make peace with it.

[@charleslund453]

What I see, and like, is the fact that heavy lifting is done properly. Using legs instead of back with weights. Making sure that you are always clear of a tire that could flop down and ruin your day. Not your first rodeo. I get a lot of use from an engine hoist. It was nice of my son to leave it with me for safe keeping. My last project was brake replacement on Farmall A. Hoist did wonders for me. As usual the sequence of dismantling is done with good description making sure that all possible mistakes are covered. More things can be broken without proper tools which only lead to more repairs. Tractor salvage yards are always fun. I enjoy the people you meet there. When I get my next project I am sure I will be making trips there. Thanks.

[@JacobASwanson]

I've been doing it wrong too Squatch, I've been doing it all wrong too... That's ok though, we are members of a more elite club. What fun is it to do what the rest are already doing anyway?

[@geneguenther4325]

Thanks Toby! Your be laid plans can change drastically when you start on something. I know it’s more work for you this way BUT in the long run it’ll b well worth it and you won’t regret it. I’m 100% with you on no fluid in tires I had a bad experience last August on my 460 utility and luckily it didn’t end up worse than it did. Wish there was a way I could share those pictures with you. I really enjoy the in-depth breakdown you do on everything you work on. Thanks again and can’t wait to see what comes next!

This episode surprises me Toby as our 1942 Farmall H (purchased new by my Grandad) worked for 30+ years with a winch on the back in the woods, drove saws off the pulley and did a lot of roadwork and the gearbox is whisper quiet still. My brother did a full restoration on it a number of years ago but found all gears & bearings to be in great condition with only seals and gaskets being replaced. Do you know if the W6 International has a similar setup as I am about to get stuck into Grandads other purchase of 1942? Great videos👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@aserta]

1:17 not three words, but still as good: "In for a penny, in for a pound." :))

[@thesmallenginekid]

Squatch, I strive to achieve your level of perfection. The one thing I have to challenge you on is anti-sieze. I think it works, but its not magic. I have 12 or 13 antique tractors now (lost count lol) and it is easy to tell which have and have not had anti-sieze on the fasteners. I do agree that grease is a more than adequate substitute for anti-aieze.

[@michaelwest4325]

Glad to hear you speak to the machine, I do the same, my wife is part Native American and still thinks its weird, but some of them do listen and behave and others still misbehave!

[@johna7661]

Yes, it helps to talk to ‘em!

[@mathuetax]

9:22 I recall only using antiseize on exhaust items like O2 sensors, otherwise it tends to plug up the threads. A nice sticky amber grease seemed to work best. (I don't remember the additive content right off hand)

[@cyrilhudak4568]

Steel bolts into threaded cast aluminum motorcycle cases require antiseize.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

This project reminds me of a slightly older pop tune... "one thing... one thing leads to another...." Everything it seems works this way, if you as the person doing the work, care at all to do things correctly.

[@robertrockwell7581]

very col to watch. along with the detailed explanation.

[@seniorelectrician6831]

One of the "field expedient means" we used in the military was to strap a couple of boards on the tire and then put down a runner board or two with some grease on it so the tire would slide off the hub or axle. How well does the grease work in aluminum castings with steel or some other dissimilar metal such as trim pieces or light housings? Yes, cleaning the large item like the housings, would be interesting and worth while, as they do not fit into a pan. My question on that is are you planning to use glyptal on the inside? I agree with you on the loaded tires, but there is some where that is your only option, such as on my IHC 404 utility.

Are you using a crescent wrench just to see if I’m watching? I know that I haven’t commented in a few videos, but I promise I am still watching. Also, you should talk to the person who made the gaskets for the axle housings and bull pinion housings and have him make gaskets for the belly pump drive. Whoever made those gaskets clearly needed a lesson in appropriate gasket material.
