4230 M&W Turbo Build - Part1

[@peteschiavoni]

Love seeing all you guys do in the shop. I turned wrenches for many years and have quite an appreciation for this.

Jake does great work seems like a good teacher

[@RennerStockFarms]

He’s a great teacher!

In 1967 my grandfather bought a new 4020 with a M&W turbo on it. It was supposed to be 125 HP. Last fall I bought my own dyno and that was the first tractor I put on it. She put out a honest 126 without the extra foot throttle boost. I've read articles about the M&W dyno reading 2 percent high I think that's probably accurate from what I've seen.

Can't wait to see more. A 4230 has one draw back besides being a bear to start cold. The fuel tank is just too small. 37 gallons I believe. Really needs 10-15 more gallons capacity. Other than that. The BEST 100hp tractor you will ever find!!!?

[@RennerStockFarms]

That's a good point, the tank is on the small side. All of our 4230s we rebuild are outfitted with high compression pistons to fix the starting problem. More is on the way!

That tractor is well worth rebuilding great machine , Love that binder in the background as well !

[@joemueth4077]

Can't wait to see the 4230 with a new coat of paint. Spent tons of hours on a turned up 4230 ,a13' Lely Roterra and 13' JD grain drill. Probably bought from Grandpa Tom.

Looking forward to this build. Great video bud. As always. WORK SAFE!! 🙂

[@Man-cv5ws]

Those late model NF tractors are nice to see.

[@RennerStockFarms]

They are a treat to drive too! We have a couple of them and they are sweet and a little uncommon.

[@Chevy4x4dawg]

Thanks for great video! Any history you can share on these tractors would be great!!!!

[@jeremymullen5378]

🔥right on, I enjoy pulling wrench’s too🤙.. I took John Deere agtech schooling out here in Ontario years ago.

[@deepwoodguy2]

Hey... DMV here in Connecticut..you call for an appointment, tell them what you want..a couple of days later.. go in, 15 minutes later you are done and out the door. 😁😎👍... they should have thot of that years ago.

[@goldingerfarms9357]

Jon those were some great special effects there at the beginning of the video lol

[@RennerStockFarms]

Thanks lol though it would be a nice touch

[@SchnelleKat]

That's crazy 11k hrs and that clean! Must've been very well kept and serviced. There are MF guys around me in my Sw, MI area that run the 2000s, 1155s/1130s etc mostly V8 Perkins with 8-14k hrs.

[@gonerydin4225]

I used to build 4230s.

[@stuartreding2967]

Love the videos keep up the great work, just a suggestion but tell us what those plugs and stuff are as your taking them off if you have time, I’m sure you were annoyed with your dmv trip.

[@danlowery3235]

Never seen the dead blow on the exhaust bolt trick, I may have done some learnin thar.

[@RennerStockFarms]

It seems to help a little, I guess it jars the threads and knocks some stuff loose. Only one exhaust bolt broke, I was shocked.

[@georgenonay9105]

Some days just go that way.

[@johndeerejared]

Yeah man, we went to the DMV a week or so ago and it was a great way to waste time... At least I got done with what I was trying to accomplish

[@hammeringhankaaron7468]

Makes a fella wonder how many hours that unit could deliver before a rebuild is needed. What is the most hours you've seen or heard of on a tractor?

[@RennerStockFarms]

I had heard rumors of some 55 series tractors hitting 20,000 hours. Either its a rumor, or they had a very easy life!

[@tomharrington1393]

👍👍

[@joshuarender9317]

What year is that, I'm guess mid 70's
