Farmall Super M Rebuild Ep.35: Replacing The Axle Seals & Belt Pulley Drive Shaft Damage

[@mike7817]

i sit in a tractor repair shop three days a week and then come home and watch you work on old machines and enjoy it , there's not anything wrong with me is there, maybe it just the way you and your dad create the videos, keep up the good work, and god bless you guys. scott city, missouri

[@ethanmorton7122]

I've learned a lot from this whole process. Considering on buying a Super M to restore. The simplistic, but detailed approaches/practices you guys have exercised during this Super M rebuild has been nothing less than amazing.

“Dubious characters posing as mechanics”; now there is an understatement. Thank you for sharing.

[@bobcrone6151]

Andrew K Hey now! Sometimes I resemble that remark!🤣 Awesome vid, as usual!👌👍💪🏻

[@357bullfrog2]

I've seen a few of those guys around here too

[@Cinder2008]

“Dubious characters posing as mechanics “ aka farmers. Perhaps we are being treated to the result of a farmer fix.

[@Bobby-Love]

Thank you for your tractor and tractor rebuild videos. Really enjoy the videos on the Farmall. Reminds me of my younger years and a better time. Takes me back to a time with my Dad.

[@bobuk5722]

Hi Squatch. Of COURSE there's a challenge. Always is. Makes for entertaining viewing and go on, admit it, you enjoy sorting them out. Cheers, BobUK.

[@tynyyn5344]

You are doing a great job restoring this I.H. Thanks for taking the time to video document even the smallest techniques. Very interesting to see a master mechanic do the job correctly. Pat yourself on the back 'cause you deserve it.

[@NCSU4x4]

Sounds like all of my old tractors. Went to touch up points on one this weekend that turned into all new fuel lines and a new battery. Never ends.

[@56PapaBear56]

It looked like the oil hole wasn't lined up in that bushing. Thanks for sharing, I'm always learning something with you and senior, which is a good thing.

[@dougkubash8673]

is it just me or is the quality of the cast iron housings, engine blocks, etc. always so much better in vintage (40's,50's,60's) equipment than the newer stuff. Great video!

[@thepoodlebitesthepoodleche1914]

Thank you squatch 253 jr. and sr. your videos help me so much. Im going through chemo and they have a real soothing effect.

[@rodneywager2142]

That eye twitch gets you every time.

[@duanequam7709]

I am thankful for the past shadetree mechanics. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be watching you Thanks for sharing.

[@ronaldkearn3322]

" dubious characters posing as mechanics". Awesome observation! 70 year old equipment with a checkered past.You are a poet! :-) Just love this Farmall project. :-)

[@tractorhyatt7044]

Thanks Squatch! Always enjoy your videos. 🇺🇸🚜👍

[@frritter8253]

You're so good at this Toby, we think...'this is your calling!' We appreciate your including us!

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Great video Squatch! Also, another method I used to protect the seals from the axle splines was to wrap the axles in shrink wrap. It is super nice because you can grease the plastic wrap, and then just peel it right off. The belt pulley shafts are known for heavy wear at the rear end due to just being a splash lubricated bushing. Many times, I am told, farmers/mechanics drilled the rear of the housing for a grease zerk if they were doing excessive belt work. The crappy part (for guys without appropriate tools) is the bushings are not available from any CASE IH dealers... You, my friend... Have the ability to turn new shafts and make new bushings. Where were you when I did the H belt pulley?! ha ha. Look forward to the next one.

[@VicsYard]

Guys like you sir are keeping them 70 year old machine going! That’s fantastic!

[@rickyjessome4359]

You attention to detail is awesome. It's one of the things I like most about your channel! Keep the great content coming my friend.

[@neilshep50]

Better to find the problem now than when you're out in the field wanting it to work.

[@greenmule4634]

same here, always more to do and needing parts, keeps us busy thanks for the video

[@haydenc2742]

Well one thing is...with the thicker bushing it should definitely stop the problem of it eating into the metal housing by providing a much thicker wear material...in so much that if/when it ever does get worn it will be so sloppy it will make lots of noise before it self destructs (letting you know it needs to be fixed) Great video..keep em coming!

[@patamos7019]

I was hoping to see you dress up the shaft and make a new bushing in this episode. Oh, well, I have something to look forward to in the next episode. These cliffhangers....LOL

[@deanehill9730]

Another goody. Easy fixed. Thanks.

[@dougrobison1156]

HEY SQUATCH! If dubious mechanics hadn't screwed stuff up there wouldn't be Squatch figuring out cool ways to fix it!

[@veiledzorba]

That'll learn ya to always buy at least two! ;) In my case, sometimes I need two because I need to learn on the first one.

[@danielsmith-ze3wy]

✝️🇺🇸👍 thanks for the video

[@cesmith4566]

That's the fun part, making new parts and improving the original design! If it were just clean and resealing that wouldn't be much fun! In my opinion! Thanks Squatch

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day Squatch

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

The way that bush clinked its way along the shaft made my blood run cold! :-O But, as ever, a good instructive video! Thank you Toby! :-)

[@garyfeltus9801]

Great video . As you said you knew that there was going to be something wore out. It's just a given .

[@woodhonky3890]

All those big honkin' bearings on that pully drive, then a bronze bearing for the input gear. Must have been a reason, I guess. Old tractor's gonna be something else when you 2 get done!

[@ZigZagMarquis]

"Dubious characters posing as mechanics"!??! HEY! That's a hidden dig at me! But seriously, cool videos, thanks for posting.

[@slypig24]

Wondering if any needle bearings would fit. Instead of a bronze bearing?

[@Danglebarry62]

A bronze plain bearing has far better low and moderate speed load bearing and shock bearing abilities than a needle roller. Newer isn't always better.

[@bcbloc02]

Custom one off parts! I would only take off what is needed to clean it up. No need to take it all the way down to a fractional size. The more meat left the stronger it is and the longer it wears.

[@1crazynordlander]

My nephew tells me to go beat my feet bloody with a ball peen hammer and I would get more enjoyment doing that than working on old tractors. I disagree with him. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@lwilton]

Looks like they put that bushing in backwards too so that the oil hole was in the wrong place. Could explain it being all chewed up. BTW, if you want 9 minutes of entertainment, agrifoto just did a piece on some farmer in the Netherlands pulling plows with an RD6 and a D6.

[@paulhammond7489]

I was thinking maybe it had spun when we saw it? Hard to tell with my old eyes if it had rotated in its home, or was installed backwards by the previous 'dubious mech' :)

[@paulhammond7489]

Thanks for the clarification ​@@squatch253 :)

[@tinkerinbruce6560]

Sure enjoy your videos!

[@coryarcher1766]

Keep the great videos coming sir 💪💪💪

[@paulolson6309]

Now all you have to do is go through the 350 diesel and put the loader back on that one... thanks for another video!

[@lukestrasser]

I agree Paul, move the loader back to the 350!

[@thomasstewart9368]

Always something! Been that way for years! If???? You don't look - you'll never find.

[@frankdeegan8974]

I am willing to bet if you don't find and fix this reassemble and paint the tractor and take it to a show, put it on a Baker fan to get an idea of the horsepower that just might cause one hell of a problem. Then you have a headache that a pill can't reach.

[@madmodifier]

Thanks for another great video!

[@drewscruis]

Look into picking up oil light bar stock. That's what I make all of my bushings out of. Just buy multiple diameters and you will never not have material to make bushings out of.

[@drewscruis]

It's oilite, dam autocorrect..

[@paulsilva3346]

I hat spillchezc also...

[@waynep343]

are you going to groove the housing... where the bushing fits.. so if it spins.. it will still get oil to the shaft.. i am taking you are also perhaps going to locktite the second half of the bushing in place... so the lock tite does not get into the groove you ground with your 1/4" die grinder with a ball burr..

[@brokenwrench1]

that SM did a lot of belt work or was used with a mounted corn picker. many farmalls never used the belt pulley at all

[@lukestrasser]

Squatch, you know, if you just got the injection pump on the 350 Diesel Farmall fixed, perhaps you could convince Senior to leave the loader off the Super M. Also in your 350 Diesel first start in 15 years video, what's the Prairie Gold machine behind the Super M at the beginning of the video?

[@kevintheilen9643]

It's kinda quaint to have the now useless belt pulley on the tractor and I guess it's nice to keep it complete, but in the time you'll spend waiting for the bushing plus the lathe time and then reassembly- again all for something you'll never use, I'd sure consider just making a plate. Also removes the temptation to try using that crazy-dangerous belt system.

[@evankibbe590]

Always something. 🌞🌎😊🍵🍵👍👍👍🍨

[@MrTL117]

Best to get it fixed right 👍

[@ron827]

If one looks for a problem in an old piece of equipment, it can usually be found and very wise to correct it when in there rather than taking it apart again. "The Squatch Team" has been down that road many times. BTW, will there be some wood pecker style "Squatch Team" caps available someday?

[@scottfabel7492]

I can smell that old grease from here.... :-)

[@hanshardt6122]

Hi Toby it looks like the bushing spun or it wasn't installed right in the housing from the video it looks like the oil hole wasn't lined up that could of caused the scoring.

[@hanshardt6122]

[@ericcorse]

Do you order your bushing stock from McMaster Carr?

good morning my friend i have a d2 5u i have a problem with the driving wheel turning package it doesn’t turn to the left side i disassembled my days are spent there i wanted to know that the manual doesn’t say the thickness of the disk package size I would like to know what the thickness would be and you can tell me where I can find it.

[@raymondgignac6027]

Like your video. Great job.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Nowadays from my observations not many real mechanics left with the old school talent 🤔 more like fitters take a part off put a new part on job done an that will be a small fortune Ty sir 🍾🙄😲😬😬

[@JSchrumm]

Saw toothed edges and bearing surfaces seaking oblivion the statement is loosely dubious in itself.

[@andrewklahold2880]

I was taught never to put any kind of loader on a trike we had a good friend who put a loader on a john deer 50 he almost upset the tractor break some thing in the steering and broke the cast iron center out of the rear wheel he repaired the broken rear wheel center but never fixed the steering it would stick when making a 90degree turn then some years later he was killed after rolling the tractor cause the steering stuck and this one time he couldnt get it unstuck after making a 90 degree turn

[@jonka1]

A grim but salutary tale.

[@jankotze1959]

Very nice..

That stand you have did you make it and if so do you have plans for it. i cant see where it bolts up

[@heybiker]

Perhaps the first time he did not order multiple parts of sameness.

[@waltermattson5566]

We would have a much more limited amount of videos if everyone else fixed things like you and your dad do. Is it wrong to hope you run into challenges along the way?

Thank you for the video. Can I be in the "dubious character"Club?I change the oil in our tractors.

The previous dubious character that was in to the belt pulley drive on my 450 LP put it back together with the engagement lever on the wrong way... 🤦‍♂️
