@@comodice905 Very few people actually use latex gloves when mechanicing in the real world. Lots of videos show gloves being used as a "feel-good", "politically correct" gesture, but, in practice, they are cumbersome and unnecessary.

[@barrynamaka7419]

I’m a retired shop teacher /farm boy here in Cdn. I’m left speechless to see this girl nail down some serious knowledge!! From all the poor educational tutorials on you tube, this channel has given us hope that people can teach it right on line! Keep slamming those vids, wow!

[@BulletproofPastor]

Rachel you are evidence of hope for the future of our country. I have a MF 2135 With great hydraulics but I watched every minute of your video. Your video is perfectly edited with no drag time watching repetitive actions and your instruction is both correct and to the point. One of the best I've seen on KZbin. It also doesn't hurt that you are easy on the eyes. Please accept the complement from a grandpa who admires your upbringing. I'm sure they are very proud.

[@brianfisher1987]

Best 31 min. & 53 seconds of learning how to do a repair [fix] EVER !! Thanks Rachel and Dan

[@ginolabarbera2056]

Wow what a great video! It is so good to see a woman who is so comfortable and so knowledgeable about a rather complex piece of machinery. Rachel’s delivery style is so easy to follow. I am never going to be scared to repair my 35X hydraulic pump again. Rachel you are the best!!

[@brianrunnellssr1435]

Rachel is incredible. Check out ALL her videos, not just mechanical. This amazing young woman is a CHRISTian. And you can tell. She wears her faith for all to see. That is why she has a glow to her and why there is a smile on her face even as she speaks. GOD bless you Rachel and your family as well!!

Great video Rachael! The youth of this country is not totally lost!To her parents: EXCELLENT job raising her!!!

[@williammcdougall9536]

Rachel, I congratulate you on a well organized and informative tutorial video on the rebuild of this hydraulic pump and control/actuator group. However, if you really want to take it to the next level, you need to literally "clean up your act". What I mean by this is that the assembly of any hydraulic system components must be done in a very clean environment with clean parts, clean tools and clean hands. This will take you to the level of a true professional in your trade and add another level of pride to your work. I am speaking from 40 plus years as a licensed Canadian HD mechanic 30 years of experience as a Caterpillar field service technician. Keep up the good work and keep improving. The world belongs to those who are not afraid to get their hands dirty.

[@mrmyorky5634]

As a hydraulics engineer I was thinking exactly the same thing as you. The lack of cleanliness on re-assembly was a bit cringeworthy, but otherwise a very professional and beautifully produced video and a credit to Rachel.

[@terencelynn8635]

I have a Massey Ferguson 65 and wow that girl knows her stuff! Very impressive! She does a video so well that it could be an industry instructional video!

[@robertdonovan6256]

I can only repeat what others have said, Rachel has superb knowledge and puts it across in the way anyone can follow. If she doesn’t go on to teaching it would be a shame. She is excellent.

[@mrmyorky5634]

Rachel, WOW! What a great mechanic you are! This is the best made tutorial I have seen in a very long time and I learned a lot from you that is nearly identical to my Massey 240. It needs a lot of hydraulic work and now I think I understand how it works. THANK YOU!!!

Do you live on social media where older people just whine about young people? The only difference between now and years ago is there is social media to share the few examples and pretend it is everyone, where a bunch of older people pretend they are so much better than kids these days.

[@goransablic7339]

Rachel is better mechanic than majority of men population mecanicer. All respects for her job and knowledge.

[@ronfry3324]

Good video. Very impressive young lady. My only issue with this is it appears you are reinstalling everything dry. Orings should always be installed with some kind of lubricant as well as all the pistons. Everything. It makes things easier to put together and helps keep down any damage from dry parts when there isnt any oil flowing yet on initial start up. Other than that great job. Great to see someone young with this much knowledge on farm equipment. New or old

[@larrystover7207]

A very thorough and helpful video. Thanks so much for putting these tutorials together.

[@truethought369]

This is very useful for all who are rebuilding an old MF. One thing I did note was you did not lube the rings before sliding into the cylinder! Always clean all parts with petrol/desal, dry them and oil them as you refit the parts. Farm oil is thick and heavy, can take some time to reach everything. People think that because tractor parts are quit big, that you can be rough with them? But as you said, you don't want to do it again. Thank you for your demo.

[@MrKevinpalmer]

Bravo! Cold Michigan winters indeed. You know, ya put some of these “pro” weather girls/news casters to shame! You seem so very comfortable, like you’ve done a million of these overhauls.

MF 35s & 28s were very common in New Zealand farms. They were so reliable just about every NZ farmer either had a 165, 135, 35 or Ferg 28 at some stage. In the late 1970s I would drive dads 35 petrol to cut, tedder and bale 80 acres each year driving a pto driven 280 New Holland baler.

Question on washing the internals to get down to a clean start. I use Naptha to get everything clean, then I rinse and dry with 91% isopropyl alcohol from the drug store. Then I reassemble, but several people have told me I shouldn't use Naptha. What do you use to get internals nice and clean?

[@rickbramel8098]

Brake cleaner👍🏼

[@mohamedjatlaoui350]

You shouldn't use Naptha ( naphtha ) for cleaning mechanical parts with sensitive surfaces "such as any type of cylinders, pistons, gears, contact ends of drive shafts, and especially bearings with all sizes" . You may use Diesel instead !

I own a MF35 1965 model. I have been driving it for 51 years. I never had any big issues with it. I use it mostly for snowcleaning and as a servicemaschine outside my home. This video is great, one of the best. Great skills you share. Maybe you make a video about overhauling the dieselpump? 🧐

Daniel Massey had ability to solve problems. He recognized the value of dependable labour saving farming equipment being accessible to the average farmer. Before the age of planned obsolescence and global economy. Tractors freed up teams of horses and eliminated need for slave labour. As any good mechanic knows diagnosing problems is sometimes more difficult than fixing once it is isolated if you have the skills. Solid presentation ,thank you.

Seth Lavinder you're casting a wide blanket over an entire generation, IMO you need to get out and meet more of them or widen your circle. There are plenty of great kids that age. I volunteer at the Wounded Warrior center here in my town and the military if full of kids her age that are just as smart, interested, and caring. I also volunteer at the local Guide Dogs Training facility and am constantly amazed by the sheer number of young kids her age that also come out volunteer and work hard. Good people are out there everywhere.
