That's about as high praise as I've ever heard from you on a tractor. During the video I was also impressed at the ease of work and thoughtfulness of service in the design. Especially that little hole and plug in the firewall for that bell housing bolt access. Also a happy surprise that the owner asked for a full filter and fluid service while it was in there as well as the rear main seal. I realize some work is sometimes cost prohibitive and things have to be done just enough to get the unit working at the minimums but It's a good day when it doesn't have to be like that. Now let's have a video of teaching Mrs. Wes Work how to drive a stick. First on a tractor and then in an automobile :)

Even doing a full engine rebuild was very straight forward once my brother found parts. (we got the tractor for free not running)

Wes, I like your humor and your honest candor in recording and presenting these videos. You don't edit out some of the "mishaps" that will inevitably occur in the repair business. For the sake of discussion and your comment about fancy splitting stands and stuff.................. Years ago I had to split a Ford 1710 to replace the clutch. It just so happened that the owner had a finish mower on the 3 point hitch when I showed up to do the work. Instead of moving the front section during the split, I made the front rigid with triangle wood wedges exactly as you did, and bolted a length of steel channel onto the threaded bosses on the engine flywheel housing to rest on the ground forming the 3rd point of contact to stabilize the front end. I then separated the rear section by rolling the drive wheels backward. The finish mower was more than enough counterweight to prevent the rear half from tipping forward. When it came time to join the halves back together, I adjusted the top link of the 3 point to get matching angles of the trans bell housing to the engine bell housing. As you have mentioned more than once, "I'm not saying that is the right way...............but it is a way."

Yes, front axle wedges are the important first step. I'd recommend blocking the rear tires well to avoid pushing it off the bottle jack. I only did somewhat larger tractors and often used a chain hoist to support the front, but needed two people to roll the rear wheels with the transmission on the rolling jack. PTO engaged and an adjustable wrench on the shaft helped align the splines for that. Transmission in high and a bar on the ring gear though the starter hole aligns the other splines when they are the item holding up progress. Torque amplifier drive train adds an extra complication.

I don’t think that one learns how to diagnose electronic aspects of vehicles today using an oscilloscope by just stumbling around. I used to work for IBM repairing computers about a hundred years ago and I am very impressed with your skills. Keep the videos coming. Including the two and four legged members of your family is an added treat.

Then the skid steer came along and then the mini ex’s. Love mine with the backhoe attachment. A very versatile machine instead buying 2/3 different machines at roughly $25k a piece. But, u can’t teach that to the young ones now. Thanks for the great video

This is after removing the bolts keeping clutch on the wheel Remove the plug on the gearbox remove the circlip on the inside insert a bolt in the end of the input shaft and pull the shaft out 5 cm or so while keeping clutch stable and then see the clutch drop

On the older VW front wheel drive motors (Rabbit, Scirocco) they use a funky clutch setup as well. The clutch arm is on the back of the trans and actuates a push-rod that runs through the main input shaft. On those you have to machine both surfaces of the flywheel with an included offset.

I learned a lot about clutch and brake work whilst serving in the British Army and much if not ALL of what your Dad preaches about the subject are spot-on. Those clutch techniques are called techniques for a reason, they are designed to be kind to the actual materials and mechanisms of the clutch and prolong it's life. I know many people may say: "Ah! - But modern clutches.." No matter. Knowing these practises will help you understand the clutch even more. Having said all this I still admire the levels automatic gearboxes are achieving. Thanks for your work Wes, that was one tidy little tractor suitable for heavier domestic work.

First time I ever watched a tractor split was when I was a boy. My dad and a friend split open a Ford 8N we had, using the play scape and swing set he had built for us. He used a chainfall and the steel cross bar overhead and worked over the grass. It was very farmtastic operation. That nice smooth shop floor makes things a lot easier. I'm not actually sure it's an easier job the way they package everything on those vs. the 1940s machine.

I have used pry bars throughout my working career and have a number of them but......... the indexable one with the adjustable handle is a gamechanger for me. I has made a few of my other more traditional pry bars obsolete. I absolutely enjoy your channel no matter the subject and the reason for this is the very wide range of skill sets you have, from electronics to machinists work to general mechanic skills and basic problem solving.

One of the guys I used to work with, learned to drive at a cement plant. His boss used to wave the new drivers over on thier first day in the truck. He'd open the driver's door from the ground and rap the top of thier left foot hard with a hammer handle if thier foot was on clutch pedal. If you have a huge bruise across the top of your foot, you can not bear to spend 2 seconds extra abusing the clutch. I put 72,000 miles on a brand new 2001 Isuzu/GMC w5500 when they first arrived in Canada, a beautiful 4.75 liter diesel with a 6 speed manual. Driving 4-6 days a week delivering product between 2 mountain communities. 3 years later my brother in law took that truck and put it on his route where he only have 2 real hills on his route. He managed to blow up the clutch in 2 weeks and tried to blame me. I had the manager of the GMC truck dealer have a conversation with him. That first year the city drivers were blowing up the clutches in 20,000 miles. The upgraded clutch was $900 and they decided they could find cheaper/better. 3 months later, the truck was finally back on the highway and I never did hear if it was ....

well done. I used to Grind Flywheels and pressure plates for a living. Did it for a few years pretty easy job but BORING as hell. Operating a big old AMW Blanchet grinder, 9 hrs a day. It got to be exciting when it came time to change stones. Or once a month the cooling fluid. There were three of these types of shops in Salt lake at the time but as time went on, these shops closed down because of the cheap import clutches. the flywheel was always the make or brake of any clutch job. I was amazed at how 'dished' a ford 12 inch from a winsor could warp, (and in comparison a Toyota.) and dish so much and still look good. clutch rebuilding is so different now days. in comparison just trying to find someone with a proper grinder is almost Impossible. Where I live now. The place I used to work for was bought out by a large regional corporation along with the other two big builders. the son owned the one I worked for. I was hired by his Father, I left just before he passed away good people. Don't you just Love Rambling commenters. Job well done. I always learn some thing when I watch your content Thank you.

$900 for a clutch!?! As you’d say, they’re obviously pretty proud of those.

I think we learned who is the teacher and who is the driver here but it's great to see someone learning things. I noticed a few components on that tractor that must be off the shelf stuff in Japan. They're the same as the Kubotas I work on.

Did quite a few of these in HS Vo-Tech for the student farmers and other local farmers. We had metal shop make us wheeled dolly’s from angle iron that we attached to the two halves after separation (splitting stands with wheels) so they could be wheeled around the shop and to free up the hoists and jacks for use on other tractors and projects in the shop.

Hi Wes, many years ago my Bro inlaw bought a small farm here In the Essex Country side and It had 2 tractors, one a small vinyard Massey Ferguson, the other a bigger older David Brown one, and yes the clutch was fritzed in that, so, as I had been doing some part time mobile car repairs at the time offered to go and help Bro inlaw.. We split the front and rear, looked at the clutch, I tried to re adjust the clutch, put it all back, but was not really successful for heavy work, so Bro inlaw had to buy a new clutch for it and do it all over again..It did help build his new house though so soon paid for itself, me, just spent weekends off work, out in the fields cutting grass with the twin rotor skid on the 3 point hitch, as Bro inlaw had 1200 apple tress that had been neglected so i cleared the bushes brambles and young trees and anything else i found needed doing.. Thanks for the video.. Ian.. UK.

Not only does Wes handle that clutch job like a champ, at 16:42 he breaks into “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on the bearing press. Is there nothing he can’t do?

Your comments about live power and older tractors with clutched PTO and equipment back driving the tractor brought back memories of farming. Thank you for that comment.

Nice work, as always, Wes. I agree with your father- clutch discipline helps it last longer. Mrs Wes needs to drive a manual transmission car for awhile. It's good fun.

I think you could buy one and Mrs Wes would not be too mad. A toy tractor like this would be a whole lot more use to me than the one I have, which is twice the size.
