Just A Few Acres Farm shouted you out on one of his Farmall restoration videos. Said he considered you the gold standard. I've spent the last three days bingeing your Super M and D2 restorations. I love yer channel!

[@squatch253]

Thanks! Pete is a great guy 👍

[@snowman9980]

@@squatch253 I also enjoy Pete's video as well as yours. I consider your gasket making the gold standard lol. if I have to make a gasket-its the bare minimum of effort. No one will see it anyway right 😛

[@abunchofhicks]

yep, Pete sent me your way last year. You work how i wish i did. lol

[@76RSLT]

That pulley would sure give the rock crusher a run for it's money!

[@nandi123]

Did somebody say rock crusher!??? I am so looking forward to that.

[@neilshep50]

I get the impression you'll be ploughing in circles, just so you can see the silver on the front wheels. Looks really good, the Norden wheels on before were like having a space saver on your car. Well worth doing.

[@paulsilva3346]

.16:04 yes I can see it now look at that turning right then left just to look at your new shoes 😅. Now looks like every other super amp 17:00

[@LoggerLloyd]

"But weight", nice touch. It does look much better, nice job.

[@joelknierim1456]

The Super M looks great! Green grass, red tractor, that's picture perfect!

[@jmailbell]

Spindle and the hub sure did go together nicely. The wheel weights and the silver rims on all wheels really sets the tractor off not to mention the big pulley!

[@d00dEEE]

Breaking the beads with your bare hands, what a beast!

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

I like those wheels a lot better. It just seems "right". She's got a real pretty stance in that evening light.

[@paulsilva3346]

4:34 , Oh yeah, baby. It fits.! No grease seal mods to do.

[@Buck1954]

What a beautiful tractor! I don't mind the shadow. That's real life.

[@brianbell3748]

That ol' Super M looks sharp now @squatch253!

[@RandallSaylors]

Kudos to you ole M looks like it just left the factory many years back can't say exactly for I'm not sure of yr mdl of yours just guessing I'd say 48 to 51 yr??:I've a question why weight s on up front tires ?? Plan on pulling something quite heavy out back I reckon??I always felt like it made my steering even more difficult to steer. On account of weight being on the tire "spindle "that's why I installed a "; what I call a flat plate weight rig " and put what desired weight I wanted or may or may not need !! Anywho super great job you do & obviously have done on your ole super M !! YOU SURLY DESERVE THE CREDIT &: THANX FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE

[@ronzezulka6646]

Hey Toby,,,the M is looking great.

[@tmscheum]

Wheel swap went well without any drama. New building going up shortly. Maybe, hopefully, 2024 is going to be way better than 2023 for Squatch! Now if X231 will cooperate…………………..

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@elliskinney5731]

I got a few used wheel weights from the tire shop and pounded them in just to confuse people. Told a couple of guys that I had them balanced. Ellis

[@rickyjessome4359]

Fantastic video Toby! What a difference those front rims made. The big pulley looking great on it. That super M is a beautiful tractor. Cheers

[@junior1138]

You made changing wheels interesting. That’s why your channel is successful.

[@davewilliams6172]

Toby...that looks so much better! The Super M is a credit to both you and Senior.

[@jimamundsen7029]

ALWAYS love to see an IH video! Great looking Super M, Toby - show or field ready!

[@vincentcibor8847]

I'm surprised Senior didn't take the M out to break in those new tires first! 🤠

[@rickharper6320]

That tractor looks so much better !!! I never could stand solid red wheels on the front of a Letter series Farmall !!!

[@billhartl6601]

Love the universal hammer being used to remove the spindle nut, lol

[@Denis-tu1pd]

After you the new front wheels made the tractor complete . When you put that large pully on the super m it started to list to the right . Awesome video .

[@brycewiborg8095]

I was taught to tighten bearings, and back the nut off a quarter turn like that. I still pack bearings like the Neanderthal i am. Thank you.

[@BrianSmith-lo3mj]

The new silver rims look great against that pretty red paint.👍👍

[@richardwalrod7490]

It looks so beautiful , better than new. You did an amazing job

[@bobpaterson1845]

That M was a superb tractor restoration before the latest updates 🤔 reckon now that tractor is second to none absolutely stunning 👌👌

[@andrewmurton8379]

Wonderful upgrade, just loving the silver accents on the wheels .

[@matthewmurray2402]

The wheels really do look like they came from the factory that way.

[@Nicksvintageiron]

This has the perfect look and stance for a super M. Well done

[@sailinwrench]

I have and use the same bearing packer and love it. Packed them the old-fashioned way for many years, very messy. Tech tip: Keep it in a clean one gallon paint can to eliminate contamination when not in use. Nice looking Super M btw.

[@squatch253]

I just keep this one in a sealed Ziploc bag 👍

[@keithwarkentin]

Squatch you make everything look so easy but I just put a new inner tube on a rear tire on my M not only was it 2 6 hour days but I would never post it on KZbin because I don’t need to show the world what a brain dead basket case I am just to give you an example it took me 1 hour to make sure I was putting the tire on the rim the right way so the lugs ran the right way 😂😂 But that tractor is beautiful and so is your 1948 8N Ford you were grading with the other day and they both run and sound so nice Carry on 😀🇨🇦

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

Im telling you that was worth the effort,she looks like a Farmall now,and with the big pulley hub and the bath I'll give it⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@markhull5776]

Man that sue is one good looking tractor. What I really appreciate is that you still get out and work them .

[@IndergaardAcres]

Thanks for using Luke’s favorite tool to adjust those bearings.

[@paulscarlett4346]

Love the close up of the IH logo at the start!

[@geraldharkness8830]

WOW! WHAT A LOOKER THAT SUPER M IS! GREAT PROJECT WELL WORTH THE WAIT!

[@AB-nu5we]

Wheels look fantastic. So does the rest of the Super M. Very nice.

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

The wheels and pulley look great. It’s amazing how a couple of improvements can make such a big difference. Very enjoyable video Toby. Thanks

[@stevenmalcomb4168]

Awesome upgrades! Tractors you restore are better than new. Sure do love seeing how you and Sr get along and work together!!!

[@haydnstevens3108]

Luke’s eye is going to be twitching 😂

[@squatch253]

Lots of Crescent wrench action lol 😂

[@johna7661]

I got a bunch of trays , some used from a school kitchen, some new from a restaurant supply store. Some are aluminum, some plastic or fiberglass on the older ones. I use them for things like working on stuff like the hub change to keep things clean. I usually end up using two, one for parts , one for tools. I started using them while working in the pits on a funny car team and think they are a big help that you may consider. Nice tractor!

[@davidsmith-ee8cb]

Stylin' and profilin' on a tractor. Really looks classic, worth the time and effort. Maybe you could give Mr. Bork a lesson or two on classing up the equipment.

[@aserta]

What an intro shot!!! 10/10, very cinematic.

[@stevenrapp3217]

Nothing like taking a beautiful tractor and making it even better!! Love It!!

[@charleswappes2619]

I don’t expect that I am the only viewer who added the clicks from your torque “wrench.”

[@jamesflett1887]

Looks great. It looked great before but the upgrades do set it off well. Thanks for the video 👍

[@seniorelectrician6831]

I was taught to and have always put some air in the tube when putting the tire on the rim to avoid pinching the tube with the tire or irons. skitos here are bad too. not a lot of Dragon flies either to eat them.

[@rawbsworld6604]

🤗 a clean tractor is a happy tractor 👍✌️🤙

[@stevemccoy8138]

That looks a lot better, looks like a Farmall. If my memory is correct, I can remember someone saying that the hub swap couldn't be done. 😅 Have a Great Day. 😊

[@michaelschreiner95]

I am surprized at how little grease was on the hub you took apart.

[@squatch253]

I cleaned most of it out in the first episode, when I took that hub off the first time to do all of the bearing checks.

[@jessiehensley2904]

First off….how bad is it that I didn’t know there was a bearing packing tool like that….. second, those rims look so much better.

[@371508129]

Definitely a nice new old tractor!!!

[@frankdodson3534]

It may not be necessary but I like it pack a little extra grease in the space between the bearings just because why not.

[@markjurkovich7814]

Looks great!

[@ericinoregon5726]

That tractor is just plain pretty.

[@Patriot1776]

Longtime viewer here. It always bothered me that the Super M's front rims were different from its rears and the rebuild series explained why with it being an aftermarket front axle, and the rationale for one-piece steel rims when it had the loader bucket. Still I was always thinking it would look so, so better if a way could be found to fit a pair of the factory-style wheels on it. So glad that since it won't ever have a loader bucket on it again, you and Sr. went through the hassles of mixing and matching bearing parts and doing a bit of custom fabbing to make this work! It looks so, so much better!

[@rayrummage3257]

😊😊

[@clydeschwartz]

Excellent video the Super M looks really nice 👌

[@waltermattson5566]

Great running and looking tractor.

[@Michael-he7xn]

The front wheels look great! Though I was hoping to see the pulley dropped into gear to see how round it is. Next time.

[@wdinns]

good looking tractor, good job on the paint,

[@raincoast9010]

Such a nice tractor, my dad had a WD-9 back in the 70's.

[@ericsargent4551]

Great work!!! Really pops the tractor. Thank you for sharing.

[@jmumbauer]

Man, Toby... that looks so nice. Good work

[@mesabimike8123]

Need to do a calendar of the fleet! At least a centerfold 😊

[@josephperkins4163]

I do enjoy the green in the air cleaner jar! I had a Deere 4430 that I really enjoyed. Project turned out great!

[@joemontz592]

Boy that really does make the front of the tractor sharp I guess it's true what they say wheels make the build

[@dougkubash8673]

The new wheels look great!

[@aussiedazvk4djh889]

The old girl looks great Squatch. Some tyre shine maybe? 😊

[@JaredBowman.1]

If you’re scrolling through your rolladex of projects, the ole rd6 needs some love!

[@MrJmaynard96]

Beautiful piece of mechanical art!! Great job and been fun watching!

[@ericcorse]

Those new hubs make all the difference.

[@paulsilva3346]

LOL.. 0:30 .

[@tcmits3699]

Out in the field, there's no comparison to having a much larger front tire. We had a MF 275, the front pivot block(frog)broke we replaced the frog and modified the front spindles, and installed some worn rear 24's from a small Farmall on the front of the 275. Worked fantastic, and looked kinda cool as faux 4x4 haha

[@chesterfeenstra4619]

Looks awesome, good job

[@ashleyjames6010]

Looks stunning them front wheels really do finish the look, the big belt pully look like it's ment to be there.

[@RuralTowner]

Definitely looking better with the 2-pc front rims.

[@owen33333]

Outstanding upgrade, THANKS!

[@timredelman1993]

Looks proper now!

[@challengerhitchman]

It does look much better with the spoked wheels.

[@wingnutwelding]

The Zeus pulley looks good on there, almost like it was meant to be. Can’t imagine how many problems you would have ran into with the wheel hubs if this was x231.

[@jbj27406]

But wait...there's more! You must also be an occasional "Jaw Tooth" viewer. I know that you also love trains. Nice job on the tractor!

[@squatch253]

I don’t know who you’re referring to - remember how I’ve said before that as soon as I took the leap to doing KZbin as a full time job, I ran out of time to actually WATCH any KZbin 😂

[@jbj27406]

@@squatch253 I can believe that. The amount of work that goes into filming, editing, etc. must be truly like a full time job. We thank you for all you do. Yeah, Jaw Tooth is a big train buff who does a lot of videos in the areas of Western Kentucky, Southern Ohio, etc. He has some pretty cool stuff. Thank you again.

[@0xDEAFF00D]

Officially the going to town rig

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

Looks really good, Squatch I hope all those mosquitoes at least had the decency to "like and subscribe" even if they didn't become members

[@tomwichman77]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@zacjansen7843]

Awsome job. I love that tractor. I have the exact same one. I can’t wait to get mine looking that good.

[@larrydavidson3402]

It looks fantastic, like a Farmall again.

[@stumpy2816]

Really Is a very cool looking tractor.👍👍

[@bobcrone6151]

Wow what a fantastic job!! Amazing!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@walterbickel7962]

Dont forget to install the power steering system, it will really make a big difference

[@jankotze1959]

That looks Super AwesoMe Tobie, how is your eye doing lately?👍👍👍

[@walnutridgefarms3975]

Looking sharp!

[@rogerallen6644]

It’s almost too pretty to use! 👍 Absolutely beautiful!

Looks sweet as can be

What a beautiful supper M . I hope someday to finish my 340 utility industrial.

[@JamesJones-gk5jd]

Beautiful tractor 👍

[@jakobrebeki]

Them new wheels just look so good....

[@hamilton3072]

Thats a good looking tractor man!

[@jeffmc7946]

I would imagine you were the winner of the game Operation a lot!

[@thomasadcox11]

Man that’s one good looking tractor

[@emerycreek8016]

I have always liked the factory front wheels. I did like those Norden rims too because they were unique to me, I hadn't seen them before. I wonder if they would have looked really good painted silver with just the cap red. They had 4 square holes, would they built to accept Farmall front weights? That would have looked really good too.

[@paulsilva3346]

Now that's what I'm talking about I agree completely 3:03

[@squatch253]

The IH front weights are only cast and drilled for the 3-bolt mounting, so they wouldn’t work on the Norden wheels with the 4-bolt pattern.

[@emerycreek8016]

Oh yeah, Duh. For some reason I thought I saw 4 stand bolts when the weights were sitting there painted. There may have never been weights to fit those rims. Now I understand more why you did all the effort to cross bearings and do the swap.

[@selwyndyer8357]

Well done.
