Jacobsen G-10 Tractor Revamp- Part 1

[@charlesgraham9954]

i love the way this model of Jacobsen tractor looks, i thinks it's because of the size, not big, not real small. thank u guys for the video, i know the time it takes to film and edit.

[@jimmarchman]

What a neat tractor. I've never seen one of those before. Thanks for sharing.

[@RooneysSears01]

That is a sweet old machine, outstanding work as usual Jake!

[@5Tractorguy]

Thanks Rooney!

[@militarychevy711]

That motor sounds pretty healthy! Nice work as always man. Looking forward to part 2!

[@5Tractorguy]

Thanks! I was surprised it fired up as easily as it did. I'm just glad it's not going to need a tear-down like the Worthington engine did, because I ain't got time for that!

[@WillsGarage91]

Nice work as usual! Interesting way to unload it off the truck too!

[@5Tractorguy]

Thanks Will, it got the job done!

[@MrCRMapleFarm]

Nice. That engine looks and sounds almost identical to the engine in my 1954 Ford NAA. I think Jacobsens were built close to me here in Stroudsburg, PA. They were once Worthingtons, I think. Lots of them appear at the local shows.

[@5Tractorguy]

I think it is, it's a Ford 172ci Industrial. I believe some of the 800 series used them too... Sounds about right, I have the older brother to this one out back, 1960 Worthington G-6.

[@saludahead]

Here's an old trick, Put a ballast resistor between the coil and the distributor! It gives the coil 12 volts which it LOVES, but lowers the volts across the points so they don't get burned!

[@cptyler150]

Dude love the work on this tractor sounds good

[@5Tractorguy]

Thanks Chris!

[@cptyler150]

Hey man ide like to talk to you and talk about your journey you have been doing with rebuilding stuff, I worked on tractors out of high school too. number sixohthreeeightfiveforthreeninefivefor thanks man

[@5Tractorguy]

Chris, I'll give you a ring this weekend or next week, got a lot going on here so times been short. -Jake

[@MrGjcruz]

Wish you were my neighbor! Got an old Ferguson I'd like to see running again! Great video!

[@5Tractorguy]

Thanks Gilbert! Those are neat old tractors, I've worked on a number of 9 and 2N's in the past, fairly similar.

[@lukebecker1959]

@@5Tractorguy i have a 1939 9n that has no spark but i dont know whats wrong with it i was using it and it just shut down

[@trucksntractors7160]

you know it's gonna be good when the video starts off with Eddie Rabbitt

[@midebisku6548]

[@raymondgarafano8604]

I could be wrong but was told many times, coils are really made for 6 volts, the reason for resistor is that battery volts drops a lot when the starter is used. when running coil gets voltage thru resistor. when starter solenoid or starter is operated, a wire from solenoid or starter also goes to the coil.

[@regsparkes6507]

Excellent,...I think I'll subscribe now, to watch the rest of this project.

[@5Tractorguy]

Thanks Reg! I do appreciate it...

[@inspectable]

i have a E-10. it is the short bed pickup model. Jacobsen Service was great about posting the service manuals for me a few yrs back so they are available

[@5Tractorguy]

I've seen those! Wish I could find the Toro version of one, the Toro General. Luckily I was able to get a manual from Jacobsen for it.

[@Landroverdude101]

My brother has one of those tractors. He retired from Greens keeping and went out and bought one. Stout little tractor...

[@5Tractorguy]

Fast too!

[@c50ge]

42 MPH FROM THE FACTORY!!! DESIGNED TO PULL GANG MOWERS ON GOLF COURSES OND LARGE PROPERTIES. HIGH SPEED TO CUT DOWN ON TRAVEL TIME. THAT SPEED IS REALLY HARRY ON BUMPY ROAD ESPECIALLY IF THE STEERING IS LOOSE. LOVE THESE THINGS

[@pacificdrumma]

"That wasn't too bad" lol. Impressed but not surprised at your work.. par for the course haha

[@5Tractorguy]

Ha! Thanks Hugh.

[@straightpipec6099]

Cool stuff as always! Thanks for sharing.

[@5Tractorguy]

You betcha!

[@stevelecain886]

man that's a nice tractor dude, I would love to have something like that to play with, I scrapped a couple Jacobsen greens mowers for parts and got a ton of stuff, especially hydraulics.

[@5Tractorguy]

Yep, it's a good-un Steve... Nice, hydraulics are always good to have kicking around. Never know what you can conjure up with them for a project.....

[@w2dmw]

I'll say one thing; that '61 is some sweet puppy. I would fix her up, spray the cab red, and you could put her in parades. They used to run a GMC 351 V6 in those, or the larger 405 . The 351 was very good torque at lower speed. Very widely used, from pickup to small dump trucks, to trucks like your flat bed. Does yours have a 2spd rear..???? They did love gas, though.... I think you do top shelf work; no short cuts, clean and neat, and real professional. Best Regards.....

[@5Tractorguy]

'61 still ears it's keep around here. Some day when I have a shop there's some stuff I'd like to get squared away on it. Yep, 2spd rear and a 5spd main. And I put a 3spd aux in for an overdrive gear. Thanks W2, appreciate it!

[@DebSidera]

The country music in the background 😎

[@lsohweldfab6575]

Wow! Not much smoke and oh that sound🤤

[@crankysports]

That thing is freaking awesome! I love the back tires! I'm a big fan of the High Traction style tires. I would run them on my F150 if they made them for it.

[@5Tractorguy]

Let me tell ya, you could slide the back end around like crazy on a field and do donuts in a dirt parking lot! It was a blast for the time I owned it. I love the 'ol MS tires, definitely dresses of a truck nicely.

[@victoryfirst2878]

I have a question for you Sir. Does not relate to this topic at hand but here goes. When it comes to Briggs and Stratton engines larger than ten hp. single cylinder, vertical shaft made in the 80's on, what were the H. P. made ?? Also, what larger single cylinders where overhead valve engines ??? Thanks a bunch too.

[@5Tractorguy]

According to my 1995 master price list... single cylinder vertical shaft engines were offered in 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 15 and I think 16.5. Every HP up from that was twin cylinder. OHV engines were 15hp and up. This is only from the '95 book, as time went and the Intek plastic shroud line came out, those were all OHV starting at 12hp and running to 18-20hp (I believe) in single cylinder. 80's may have had a 10hp vertical shaft.

[@victoryfirst2878]

@@5TractorguyWhat about the bolt pattern of the single cylinder vertical shaft engine hp 11 to 16.5. Are they the same ?? Thanks for the information too.

[@5Tractorguy]

Those should be far as I know. Whenever I swap engines on lawn tractors, most of the B&S vertical shaft engines in the HP range kept he same bolt pattern. Even between the 80's/90's flat heads and Intek's.

[@victoryfirst2878]

@@5Tractorguy This should really help when I change my B and S on my riding mower. Good day.

[@legopnuematic]

Sounds great. Can't wait for the next parts!

[@5Tractorguy]

They're a-comin! Like your '76 too....

[@silentdeath9237]

Looks like a Ford red tiger engine and the distributor had a spring clip type of shim for the rotor

[@notajp]

Basically the same engine as my 64 Ford backhoe has. And yes, it has the clip under the rotor. I converted mine over to electronic ignition. Best thing I ever did for it.

[@LouCFur90]

When those ramps flexed and shifted :O

[@5Tractorguy]

Ha! I chopped out a quick part from unloading where the tractor slid a bit, needless to say dad was a bit nervous!

[@craigpalmer5693]

Jacobson tractor replace everything new parts get machine running good condition make money sell it owner awesome video keep up the good work friend bless you happy Thanksgiving

[@nnaatz1]

There is a clip that slips over the dist shaft... most are missing on the 134 and 172 fords

[@Searsnut11]

Awesome machine! You should take it to a local pull and see how it does. haha

[@5Tractorguy]

Might just happen! Got one in late summer a town over. Curious to see how it does.

[@nunyayourbusiness7327]

good job where exactly are you located

[@inspectable]

I have a E-10 same machine with a long bed. Mine is missing the carburetor do you know the model number of the cab

[@5Tractorguy]

Always wanted the dump truck version! Not of hand... I've long since sold this tractor. Whatever Marvel-Shebler carb fits a Ford 172 engine.

[@inspectable]

@5Tractorguy Mine has the newer version 192 but I would assume it is the same carb Thanks

[@ralpholiver7739]

I like your choice of music!!

[@5Tractorguy]

Thanks Ralph! Can't beat some kickin bluegrass!

[@59chevt]

Jake nice tractor and vid thanks.

[@5Tractorguy]

Your welcome!

[@Stevestractoradventures]

And did you hit easy button on the way out to record the starting vid? That was easy. Sounds great! I'd have been tempted to fool with the trans right off after it ran. But alas look forward to part 2!

[@5Tractorguy]

You're telling me. Its older brother the Worthington took forever to start when I first got it... Oh that trans needs some help! A wee bit messy inside.

[@cbobscountrybunker2312]

what is the wheel base of your 61 chevy and how is the ride quality? i am shortening a 64 3 ton for a fifth wheel hauler . trying to figure out how short i can go thanks.

[@5Tractorguy]

Hi Bob, I'll see if I can measure it some time in the next couple days, haven't had a chance this week... Ride quality isn't bad. I have IFS, Chevy and GMC did that for 60-61 before going to I-beam fronts. With a load it floats down the road. Even if you chop the '64 kind of short, I think you'll be okay with enough weight on the trailer.

What is that an old willys motor???

[@rw3dog]

Awesome tractor, it ran good. When was the last time it started ? You got some Reel Mowers to pull with it ?

[@5Tractorguy]

From what I was told, about 10yrs ago by the previous owner. Nope, no reels. The gang setup for these are massive...

[@-yt7542]

Добрый день 5Tractorguy и подписчики канала. Я проживаю в Украине , я собрал самодельный трактор, и на моём самодельном тракторе установлен аналог коробки передач, как на этом видео . Меня интересует вопрос.На тракторе Jacobsen G-10 с какой марки автомобиля установлена коробка переключения передач и дифференциал заднего привода ? Good afternoon 5Tractorguy and channel subscribers. I live in Ukraine, I assembled a self-made tractor, and on my self-made tractor an analog gearbox is installed, as in this video. I'm interested in the question. On the tractor Jacobsen G-10 with what brand of car is the gearbox and differential of the rear drive installed?

[@G10Jon]

What serial number G10 is that? Looks like a late 60’s model. I’m working on a 1975 model with a 192 engine in it.

[@OnlyTheEd]

I believe that engine is about the same size as what went in the Ford Falcons, starting in 1960....except the tractor engines are labled "industrial".

[@joshtoste1256]

hey i have an onan welder generator and it runs great but it doesn't have much power when i weld i took off the 2 batteries and put one on there is that the problem or do you have any ideas for me

[@5Tractorguy]

Hey Josh, Sounds like the generator head isn't putting out enough power to weld. That should be separate from the batteries.... Your rheostat might not be working properly for voltage control. (Assuming it's an older model and you can access it...) May have to pull the cover and clean the contacts on the back. If not that, well, it's over my head. I know there are a couple more components to those but I don't know how to diagnose them.

[@lukebecker1959]

The engine looks kind of like the one in my 1939 9n except my 9n does not run anymore it has no spark and i dont know how to fix it

[@wamgoc3637]

What engine does the truck have?

[@5Tractorguy]

Has a 351 V6.

[@homesteadspirit9209]

is that a tractor you could buy? or is it a custom build from some point?

[@5Tractorguy]

You could buy them. They were sold to golf courses back in the day. Jacobsen made them along with Worthington (bought by Jacobsen in the mid 40's) and Toro.

[@oliver-ht1lv]

Im no gm guy but Man i love that truck the jacobsens cool too

[@5Tractorguy]

It's a good-un! Opposite of me, I'm a GM guy but I do like 1970's and down Fords.

[@Fordfarmer9700]

Very cool to see! And I thought I recognized that engine. As soon as I seen the numbers I figured it was a Ford engine. Could be wrong but ey lol.

[@5Tractorguy]

It's a neat tractor! You got it, 60-something Ford 172ci Industrial.

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

What year was it made?

[@5Tractorguy]

Mid to late 60's. I believe the G10's ran from '62 to the mid 70's but don't hold me to it.

[@c50ge]

Ford truck transmission an rear end. mine has a Ford Jubilee tractor engine (I have three of them)

[@anthonytriolo3643]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!

[@duanebolen8359]

I had a 1955 worlington

[@duanebolen8359]

Made by toro all with Ford parts just like yours that 134 cid tractor engine ford trans an rearend

[@5Tractorguy]

That would've been made by Jacobsen Duane. They bought Worthington in 1945 and continued the name until 1959-60. Really cool tractors! Would like to find an older Worthington from the 30's-40's. And a Toro General of course.

[@drmachinewerke1]

Not big into music on a video. However I’ll say you scored big.
