You’re a good son making your dad happy. Thanks for sharing

[@MikeJensen-wo7oh]

I believe the 'block-off plate' toward the back of the head is a throw back to the 'Low head". WC's and early WD's had a three inch head with a water manifold that connected to the thermostat housing hole and the back one. That manifold was deleted when they went to the four inch 'tall' head. Valve lash should be .015 cold. I really hate when they are supposed to be set "hot" First one you do is warm, by the time you get done, cool at best.

Buddy the dog gave you the cold shoulder, lol

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great work, hopefully pops tractor will be running better, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@stephenheyes4324]

Nice job Ross your dad should be well pleased

[@rtundlt1]

As a kid my dad showed me the oil dipstick trick. Works great when you need just a few drops of oil and you're far away from the shop and your oil can. You are the only other person I've seen use that technique. 👍

[@anthonyhengst2908]

You're an Oliver man but you work on all of the other colors too. That is a cool thing. Appreciate that.

[@keithwuchter624]

Nice video Ross. Guess ole Buddy had better things to do. Thank you for sharing.

[@waggtech4883]

The rad hose looks like one of those lifetime outfits!

[@dankreoger611]

Well done 😊

[@jamieebersole6755]

The decision of what to take to a show can be difficult 😂

[@Dan-qy1rg]

We just reset the valve lash on my son's MF 285 Perkins, we had to replace the #4 dry sleeve on it. I'm not crazy about doing the reset on those either, but it's gotta get done. I didn't have the valve tool, just the old fashioned wrench and screwdriver. My dad was good at doing that, like you I would guess myself on the setting and sometimes go back and reset them. You're getting it there, good luck on the rest of the job, have a good evening!

[@roberttrimnerjr3539]

[@user-wo3so7os5p]

I’d like to see you do a hydraulic pump and system on a super 55.

[@user-dd8wh3xi6u]

While you were adjusting valves I heard one of the donkeys. Was he encouraging you, or laughing at you??

[@thomasr.miller5553]

😁👍👍👍

[@clarencetrice4442]

[@clarencetrice4442]

HI ROSS 😊😊 a another thing U can do 2 turn the engine over by hand is 2 push the fan belt in W a hand 🖐 then pull the fan over 😊😊 OMG 7 4 2O24

[@williammatzek4660]

[@user-jl2fh3qe7c]

Ross i got a svc call for you in south central iowa.😂 lots of oliver stuff around here to see. 😂

[@mikemoss9968]

I use copper coat too it's good stuff

[@glennschlorf1285]

Copper coat is good and bad... it can save you if there is an uneven surface but it can also screw up torque specs on head bolts

[@alanmcclorey8914]

great video

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video Ross

[@garycathey7712]

Ross, where can a guy get one of those valve adjustment tools? That is slick!

[@dankreoger611]

Seen some on ebay a while back. Newer setups don't look like that one. My dad always used screwdriver and a wrench.

[@claytonraper7249]

Has far as I know that head was used though some of the D-series Allis chalmers, in which that flat plate would be use for the later style water temp sensors.

[@clarencetrice4442]

HI ROSS 😊😊 U should try 2 rise the engine block and the raditor it might help other most likely the raditor needs 2 be boiled out 2 get it cleaned out and the thermostat no good either Un less it's been replaced be 4 ross the engine block has dirt in 😮😮 over time and the years go by dirt holds and makes heat ross a another thing U can is use the air hose 2 clean the radiator fins out 😊😊 if not enough air U a back pack leave blower that works 2 clean both sides try it and see how the temperature is then the radiator needs 2 be full at times U don't want any air pockets in the cooling system 😊😊 OMG 7 4 2O24

[@waggtech4883]

There’s the Right Way. There’s the Wrong Way. Then there’s the Ross Way.

[@user-is1cb5me8v]

great video been wondering about that tractor but hopefully it will not run hot an you can move on

[@glennschlorf1285]

Ross I got a svc call for you in NE wisconsin... my Governor is not controlling the idle on my 1600.... what do I do first... it wont Idle lower than 1500 and then it goes way over 3000 rpm... on throttle

[@corydriver7634]

Not an Orange fan but I struggled through it. 😊

[@bigun447]

With your equipment, hoe, bucket, and truck, you should be able to dig/scrape a 24'x24' surface flat under the space you are working in and haul in a layer of sand with your truck, then form the area with some 2x6 lumber and have 6 yards of fiber reinforced concrete delivered and con the boy next door or some relatives to come and help you work a scree board to smooth the surface flat. Use a bull float to do the final finish and you should be able to have a smooth concrete floor under the covered place you are working. Fiber-reinforced concrete delivered is about $150 a yard and sand for going under the concrete, you haul it in one of your grain trucks, which should not be that expensive so $1,500 tops and you have a nice hard surface to work on. Or like we are predisposed to do pile enough crap on it that we can only have enough workspace to fit in a small repair job. In my shop, I have too many tools and other equipment that require floor space plus every used part or piece of metal I cut off of the piece I am using gets tossed aside so in case I would need it, I would have it. That pile is now a landslide mountain of scrap. SHOP LIFE AND SHOP SPACE USAGE IS A REAL B***H OF A PROBLEM. I feel sorry for guys like that guy up north who keeps his shop spotless.

[@larryfrey1283]

Maybe a side channel is in your future Ross the Buddha er buda man or maybe side channels are like side chicks just not worth it in the long run 😂
