Sitting down on the throne. Pull phone out to pass the time. Notification: new "Taryl Fixes all" *AND* "Isavetractors" videos to watch! Oh boy... a good start to my Sunday!

[@saulgoodmanfromthehittvsho1314]

Same! I got a taryl fixes all on how to clean a carburetor!

[@caratcranker5874]

Norman, Taryl, and RW3dog, are my 3 FAV'S, with old mowers etc. No particular order, but each does different work, Taryl is actually my Step ladder brother.

[@sancoffsr]

The amount of heavy steel on these little tractors is amazing

[@jGoodloejr]

Enjoy very much ! Please thank that son of yours for eloping so much and learning!

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

Cherish these times man. They'll be here and gone before you know it. Shop time with dad is SO important to lil guy growing up. It's where they learn what kind of man to be.

[@keithkrone77]

Man, that orange is stunning.

[@fordtruck193]

Hey Norman, very cool that your son likes to hang out with his dad and learn how to wrench. The scenery out by you is a lot like here in Michigan just outside of metro Detroit, except we don't have to drive as far to a machine shop. We still have lots of tool and die guys around from "The Big Three" automakers. Cool project, and thanks for posting.

[@davidhamilton7628]

Nice to see your boys take interest in the project!

[@JD-tl7ld]

She's looking good.

[@saulgoodmanfromthehittvsho1314]

That's a beautiful tractor man! Great channel!👌👌🙏🙏

[@jonhelm5218]

Love your videos!! I’m mid way finishing a 91 sunstar 20. Just like the $150 one you got for your mother in law. I’m using all your tips and tricks. Thank you for the videos.

[@andrewflickinger6240]

Love these resto videos, keep up the good work man. I've always loved the old simplicity tractors, I've got a 75 landlord 7010 that I'd love to restore at some point.

[@robertdavis6708]

Loved your ride along Ivan. I was vacationing in Bar Harbor a while back, some of the nicest people I've met. Maine is a great state.

[@Isavetractors]

I'm Norman 😁

[@kip9871]

Love your projects you do!!

[@4DavidJohn]

A lot of good information Norm... the only thing I don't like is when you work on the ground instead of a work bench!

[@aaronneves9684]

Great video

[@dominique4822]

Hi, Great vidéo

[@oldironsfury]

As always , awesome !!

[@jimbrent8151]

Sweet... Thanks for sharing...

[@tuckercole1531]

Cool

[@2naturesownplace]

@Norm If you do not have the means to direct hit the bearing then dipping in water to get it off and must use a cutting disk. Lay a 1/16th sheet of metal on the rod and cut into the face of the bearing using the 1/16th as a guide to keep it off the rod. It will leave a little bit of metal from the bearing. But not damage the rod and you will be able to knock it off with a hammer then.. usually the thin leftover metal will break free at the first hit.

[@motorsportmach]

Richard Elbe I cut until about a 1/16th of an inch from cutting through the bearing and then take a chisel in the slot and one whack split the race and it will slide right off.

[@2naturesownplace]

@@motorsportmach that works as well.. I have to correct I miss spell in my statement.. Hit = heat.. lil direct heat.. ice cold water.. the bearings usually fall of the shaft..

[@trailerparkgarage6574]

You need to get the classic Sears Suburban from the 70's, and make it into a TLB like you did on the Cub Cadet

[@mrl550]

You said you were not going to restore it, haha looks pretty restored to me. Good work.

[@Isavetractors]

Yea I didnt want to! I thought I would just fix the hood and do a few things and put it to work! Turned out different!

[@chevymetrodriver]

Where do u get the decals for your tractor

[@wilkersonsmowershop8379]

Love your work Norman. Where did you find the paint or is it allis Chalmers orange ?

[@Isavetractors]

Its allis orange. I'm not a purist when it comes to paint so I get the "close enough" color. I'm also going to use a bright white instead of the creamy white that simplicity used I like the contrast

[@jGoodloejr]

That was supposed to say " helping" not eloping! Darn tab! Lol

[@jesusmontoya2916]

I need the whole set up

[@Foxyjosh]

Stainless Works sells Stainless mufflers for the 9020.

[@Cristianlover4ever]

Hi, I am wondering where you get the stickers from?

[@G-GFactoryMade]

Where do you get your decals or do you make them? Trying to find someone to make me some 914 shuttle decals

[@locoyo90]

great tractor! I have a simplicity 3415H in pieces and almost ready to assemble. how/where did you get the stickers/decals? I painted all the body work now just blasting the rusted rims then prime-paint-clear.

[@Ellenslife851]

I have to look tomorrow at the horsepower of the Wisconsin don’t remember off the top of my head

[@keithkrone77]

Please tell me more about that polycarbide disc...I’ve tried all manner of discs to strip paint and have found nothing satisfactory.

[@Isavetractors]

Poly carbide disc from harbor freight. Works wonders.

[@jessegreco6818]

Looking good! I highly recommend getting a Danco bush hog for the PMax. Just added one to mine and it is my favorite attachment. Are you putting that loader on from the Wheel Horse? Curious how it fits because I have been hunting for a loader for years.

[@Isavetractors]

Hey Jesse, Thanks for the comment. I actually think I am going to make that wheel horse I have into a Tracked Crawler, and keep the loader on it. I recently acquired my favorite tractor of all time the Ford LGT 195 and plan on restoring that next and fabricating a loader from scratch like I did for the Cub Cadet 149.

[@Isavetractors]

I will also look into that Danco Bush Hog. I would love one!

[@jessegreco6818]

isavetractors oh! Now you are talking!!! I’ve been looking at John Deere 420c’s (the crawler with the loader or dozer) and I’m in love! I have been dreaming of a tracked garden tractor forever. I’ve even considered the track drives from the snow blowers but they aren’t up to the task. The Magnatrack was a mini dozer that was sold years ago but don’t think it was ever really produced at volume. Compact tractors outside the US (Iseki and others)have started adding skid tracks. Someone should make a set of tracks 😉😉 for half and full tracked applications. We could use zero turn motors to drive and turn them.

[@MrPaka420]

hi, just subed, Have a problem with a short, won't start, oh well 2016 you welded a back of tractor, ttiller of some sort, was wondering if you had a height adjustment?

[@Ellenslife851]

Was wondering Do you deal in bolens husky parts lookin for new rings/connecting rod and gasket set for Wisconsin engine and steering rod on a 1054.transmission rebuild kit and a complete wiring harness for 1256 bolens

[@kip9871]

Where did you get your decals from? Are they expensive?

[@RustyZipper]

Maple Hunter - Texas or Nate at Click It And Stick it . Expensive is a term that doesn’t exist when restoring lawn mowers 🤣

[@troydhansen4990]

Who makes the stickers?

[@Byzantine-Chants]

What vehicle were you driving?was it a ford ranger because those things are the best

[@Isavetractors]

Yes a ranger!

[@davidschnell3069]

Found a Sears 10 S/T what do you know about it , runs and drives

[@luvstruck2733]

Hey Norman, I really enjoy your videos. I have a quick question for you. Where can I buy the valve seat cutter you use in your rebuilds.

[@Isavetractors]

cylinderheadsupply.com I believe is where I purchased mine.

[@KevinMn1]

Nice project. Where did you get the decals?

[@Isavetractors]

I dont remember. I'll have to look it up. Maybe clickitandstickit com

[@aaronneves9684]

How much does it cost to restore

[@RustyZipper]

Anywhere from A few cans of spray paint from tractor supply to what I do is well over $1000 in materials and parts alone. I stop counting after that 🤯

[@andytheguy5076]

What kind of paint do you use

[@DDSNAG709]

Hey question for you, now that the TLB has been done for a while with your experience with it and others what GPM pump size would you recommend?

[@Isavetractors]

4 to 8 GPM

[@edwincarlsson6686]

How do I identify what koler engine I have.

[@Isavetractors]

There should be a tag on the engine flywheel housing. If not you can use google your tractor model and look at the Tractordata

[@aaronneves9684]

How much did you pay for it

[@Isavetractors]

I think this one was $1,000

[@jackolson6479]

What year is it?

[@ritasabella2843]

I'm giving this a 1974 John Deere

[@maggs131]

Jeez you drive way too fast

[@Isavetractors]

Story of my life!
