Setting Rear Axle End Play on the 3000 Ford, and Did the Frankenstein Axle Nut Socket Work?

Hello Nelson! Good work! Always repairs, lol! Major torque stunt, wow! Keep it all going 🤩

Thank you very much Mr Jan!! I am sure you guys are bored with seeing all the 3000 videos, but have a had a few ask me for details in the process!! Really appreciate your kind words and always being here!! Thank you very much sir !! 😁😁👍👍👍

Great video. Can’t speak for everyone else but I enjoy watching the step by step assembling or taking apart. I guess I’m just geeky that way.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Thank you Carl!! I always appreciate the input on how y'all like the videos!! I have had a few people ask about details, so that's what these are gonna be about!! Some will enjoy, some won't...but it's who I am, and what's happening at the farm!! Thank you again for the input sir!! I really appreciate that!! Also for always being here!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

At times I think it's a curse, but boy it sure is easy in the pocketbook to be able to do some myself!! Thank you sir for the kind words, and Always being here!! I really appreciate that!! Cheers Mr Rich!!

[@paullukasavitz7098]

I'm pretty sure you put more than 250 ft.lbs. on that axle nut. It looks like the torque is to keep the nut from loosening and a little extra , as long as nothing strips or breaks, is not necessarily a bad thing. I'd hate to be the next guy trying to take that nut off that axle! I am glad you could order the shims you need. I'm pretty sure paying someone to make them for you would have cost way more than what you paid. It is great the way you find solutions to the challenges of fixing old equipment. You are an inspiration, Mr. Nelson. God Bless.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

I think the torque setup was some of my OCD!! Because yes sir, the nuts were finger tight when I tore it apart!! Oh my, yes....I don't envy them for sure 🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦 Thsoe shims scared me....but praise the Lord they were still available!! And the dealership was about 12 bucks cheaper per shim too!!! Thank you VERY MUCH for the kind words Mr Paul!! That really means alot sir!! I do enjoy the chalo, and y'all's support is a blessing!!! Thank you sir as well for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁

You're making good progress Nelson! Glad you have a dealer close by. The only close dealer here is John Deere, the closest Agco or CaseIH or New Holland dealers are all about 40 miles away. I hate paying dealer prices but sometimes they are the only place to go for oddball parts. Thanks for the video! Hope you have a good one Nelson!

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Thank you very much Evan!! I had forgotten that the CNH dealer can get a few red parts as well!! So really the only oddball is the 165 for parts😁 And I need to check, because they are selilng Massey Ferguson there too🤦😁 Sometimes I get in my own little wordl and forget how things were before the Internet🤦 Tim there is a very knowledgeable gentleman, and actually just helped me figure out another weird issue on the 3000, that's in an upcoming video 😁 Thank you very much my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍😁😁

I'm sure with that 4 foot pipe wrench you got 250 or better on that nut. This is a real nice project. It's the kind of thing that gives a guy a good feeling when it's done. Even fun while you're working on it. Making tools like the Frankenstein socket is always a good time. 👍🙂
