All right all right all right! Looking good and we look forward to seeing her in action next week!

[@lynnmitzy1643]

Ohh yeah 👍🏼 Farmall Friday 💪🏼❤️

[@bobpaterson1845]

Many hands make light work 🤔 wrong electricity make lights work 😁 good video seeing all the upgrades being done 👍Red Power 💥💪👍

[@AaricHale]

Oh heck yeah already upgrading SMTA ! It was nice to see your dad out there helping you . I can't wait to see you put the old girl to work . Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend !

[@joelknierim1456]

I love the SMTA! My buddy was balling yesterday with his 826, and was using the T/A on some thick spots- Boom!

[@FarmallFanatic]

I'd love2 own an 826

[@turbo5488]

That Super M-TA looks outstanding because it's an international tractor, and I like international cub cadet garden tractors . You have awesome videos and footage on working on tractors and how to do it, and that tractor sounds really good 👍 👍👍

[@dustinhenry6142]

Farmall Friday on the smta, working with your dad, and getting a awesome workhorse closer to its old glory in tillage it closes out the day in a great way! Some of my best memories are working with my dad on these kind of projects and I hope I’m making these memories with my kids with our tractors! Thanks!

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Man! It looks so good. Like new! and it runs good. You did a great job on the lights and amp gauge. Have a great weekend! See ya FF!

[@FarmallFanatic]

Thanks have a great weekend

[@LauraBruno33]

You did quite a bit to the tractor. Good job!

[@williamsnipes7608]

That tractor sounds good. Nothing beats the sound of a Farmall running right. Sure beats the putt putts.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Looks like the Super MTA is coming along nicely ..

[@DonWelter]

Cherish the moment working with your Dad!!! The older iron is much easier to work on than the high tech machinery of today. The manifolds must've been a common issue...had a 300 with the exhaust pipe threads stripped out.

[@OldRedTractors]

That's a really nice tractor. Glad it's got a good home.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Thanks

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Enjoyed seeing the progress! Hopefully the manifold won't be too bad 🤞

[@FarmallFanatic]

One way or another the old ones coming off

[@jdub3475]

Squaring away the SMTA, aka, the beast!..love those tractors. It very well may be my favorite all time.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Mine too

[@tomgaddis5020]

My dad and I bought a mta last fall. First thing we did was re wire and Delco 3 wire alternator. Adding flashing lights to position. Position 2 is field lights. Putting a 560 fast hitch on also.

[@FarmallFanatic]

What state are you in?

[@farmallchris]

You might need to start doing super Mta Saturdays like Farmall Fridays

[@FarmallFanatic]

Ahahahahahahaha I'm not against it

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

Tractor electrical with Farmall Fanatic! AKA the CUBINATOR!!! We buy PB Blaster by the pallet! Good stuff!

[@brucebridges9654]

My man the smta is a dream tractor of mine. Don’t forget on your cultivating tractor take the inside rear tines off. That way with the curves in your rows you can cultivate all day and not even worry about what’s behind you.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Right on

[@woodwelder]

Crack the bolts and keep spraying your jungle juice on them crack again 👍

[@tractorsfamilyandwildlife1342]

Yes those generators were good in the day but I agree alternator is the way to go mine all have alternators

[@andrewpulda7969]

Love it just love it. Don't know how you feel about it but 1 more "upgrade" that I put on mine is one of those control levers to set the brake lock with. As I got older and fatter that catch seemed to get further away and harder to reach every year. That handy little rod makes it child's play. Thanks for the content.

[@FarmallFanatic]

I definitely would use one of those levers for the brakes. That is a really nice upgrade.

@@FarmallFanatic I was looking for a Steiner's part # for you but my catalog is 2013. I got mine from OEM 20(?) years ago but sadly the went under 😢. I'm sure Steiner's carries them now. I must have seen them in my cousin's catalog which is newer.

Aww man, lol, that was a tease,hahahaha. I was looking forward to the manifold, lol. It's coming along nice. I don't think there is any shame in converting it to 12v. I love the way your tractors start. If you ever need to, I'm sure you could crank start them. You've got the timing right on spot.

Excellent video Gino :) also think you did excellent job on Alternator plus bracket from Generator plus wish one International supply in 1994 did on B414 McCormick International work but didn't and had make one! But recently tried International dealer my way again had right one when installing too new GM Delco Alternator !

[@dwayneruthig242]

Didn't the rear work light have a knob on the light to turn it on when the lights were on bright? It may have had a red tail light click in that knob switch as well. I seem to remember some like that. Interesting video. Thanks.

That 5/8 wrench is an example of what I call a "come by" tool Some of the best tools are "come by" tools that you come by while driving. My buddy likes to say "you can buy a tool or you can come by a tool. But you can't buy a come by tool"

[@FarmallFanatic]

Yeah I have no idea how it got here

Ok we need a chrome steering wheel nut for some bling. Please get one from Stiener.

[@Greg_Gatsby]

It’s been over 55 years since I sat in the pilot’s seat of our Farmall M. Not Super and no T/A, but we had a canvas heat houser for year around comfort. Freezing temperatures in road gear was no problem. ❤

[@anthonylahoski2447]

Farmall Fanatic used to wrestle... the more you know, shouldn't have expected anything else from a PA guy!!

[@FarmallFanatic]

@@anthonylahoski2447 yea, everyone wrestles here lol

[@tyfrank3427]

Some comments are from idiots. There's absolutely no way you can put the U-bolts in the light bars backwards. It's impossible. The alternator may not charge until you rev it up a bit. Alternators like to run fast and some don't start to charge until you speed up the engine a bit. If the wires are backwards on the ammeter, no biggie, just reverse them. I was going to wire up the 400 this week with the alternator and post a video, but I got very busy and you beat me to it. To correctly wire the ammeter, the main feeder must be isolated, and the wires that feed the ignition switch and light switch hook up with the alternator wire on the other side. Good job. I agree with upgrading to an alternator on those, but a lot butcher the tractors up to put an alternator on. It's much harder on an H, W-4 or 300 as there's less room under the hood. I still like the generators, but the problem is the regulators are no good. On the Diesels especially I still use them, as it's harder to mount the alternators on them and they are 12V anyway.

if PB does not help on the manifold nuts use some heat.. its helped for me in the past.

Quick question, I have an SMTA, and I was wondering the reason for updating the gas cap.

[@FarmallFanatic]

The old caps were a safety hazard as they leaked

[@williammay5300]

I say the alternater charges the battery better than a direct current generator.....

[@davidholland9394]

What 12v alternator kit did you get? And dose it fit under the hood?

[@FarmallFanatic]

Delco and yes it fits. You will need a 1" shorter belt than the generator belt. That will leave you about a half inch of clearance off of the engine

[@davidholland9394]

Awesome thank you

[@cathymuehring893]

Does your internal resisted coil get hot ?

[@FarmallFanatic]

Not that I have noticed but I will keep you posted

[@brokenwrench1]

now to make it original get another square notch throttle plate because that was what was originally on it.

[@FarmallFanatic]

That friction throttle is pretty nice though

[@brokenwrench1]

the original manifold brass nuts were 19/32 aka 15mm not 9/16 nuts
