Good afternoon, I’m 74 years young, farmed and been around farms and tractors all my life? Never have I seen an attachment like the roof? Had to be aftermarket or something rebuilt for the tractor. Talked with some of the other farmers I know and same with them. Thanks for another great video.

Working across the face of the component is always the best practice for install. For removal, it doesn't make a difference for wheels, in particular. If it was a valve cover, intake or cylinder head, yes, Id be looking to a removal pattern. In this application, for wheels, Ralphie is right, it doesn't matter,

It definitely matters when installing a hoop that you do it in a star pattern. Otherwise, the torque will be unevenly distributed, which will lead to distortion of the surfaces, plus the hoops won't seat properly. The information is in service manuals.

@@PlasmaStorm73-N5EVV a car is not a tractor. there is a weight diference, and a tractor is pulling equipment, while a car is extremely light, has a smaller axel, goes faster, and the tires wear out faster, so it won't matter too much.

16 psi is plenty for a small tractor tire. Higher air pressure just tears up the ground. And yes they are called self clearing because they push the mud to the side to get down to fresh earth. If you run them backwards it piles the mud under tire. Great content!

Dad is always right Ralphie... always. P.S. If you want to add weight back into the new tubes/tires, you can use RV anti-freeze instead of the more expensive options. It can usually be found cheap at the end of winter (I got some recently for $2 gallon at Menards). It also provides some rust protection too. I've had it in one of my old Cub Cadet garden tractors for over 30 years. P.S.S. You can use talcum powder on the tube/tire to help the tube slip in and align easier.

Great job, i think you should be ok with 10-15 psi. In those rears though, the tractor will have a much smoother ride than if you run 25-30 psi in them and may actually get a bit more traction. Its kind of a catch putting new rubber on old tractors as you often spend more than the equipment is worth on the tires/rims/tubes. But at least you don't have a tractor payment and you still got a good little workhorse to use on your property. You can get/fabricate many useful attachments for that three point and these little fords seem to be tough as nails and last a long time with little maintenance. Regards from Western IL, Zach B.

Doing wheelies is something you want to avoid on a tractor :) We welded a large piece of angle iron and some thick plate steel to the nose of our old John Deere A and then chained and bolted a steel nail keg barrel to the nose and filled it with plate steel, sand and even some oil to weigh it down good as it's very hilly here. Even then I often found myself riding on the nose of the tractor sitting astraddle of the radiator cap with my feet in that barrel for my extra weight when we'd be baling hay on these hills and still occasionally felt the front end leave the ground. I sure don't miss changing out those big tires though and beating the wheels off and then back onto the cogged axles but, when it's gotta be done it's gotta be done. We used to use two sledges as well, but on the same wheel, one hitting the back side the other matching blows on the front side of the wheel. Clearance might be an issue on yours for doing that though. If you can patch up those old tubes they make fun sleds on the hills in the winter time, or for floating around on in the lake. I sure do like how much easier it looks like Ford made changing the tires out as opposed to the old JD's :) It's funny you mentioned the model A engines as folks used to build their own tractors in WWII out of old Ford model A's. Some day if you can, I'd suggest getting a corded Kobalt impact gun. I have yet to run across a nut one of those can't break loose! We used to fill our tractor tubes with what we called "brine" instead of air for the added weight. It was some sort of solution that wouldn't freeze in the Winter, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was in it...but it wasn't actual brine, lol. I put a small drop of it on my tongue once and it set my tongue to burning like crazy, LOL! Good job on that soap! We never thought of that back in the day. Then again, it was always us kids changing tires and no one really ever did show us how, we were just told to do it. Live and learn :)

With respect to the tread, my Minnesota farmer grandfather told me the point on the tire points in the direction your working. This meant if the tractor was doing most of the work in reverse like a snow blade or backing up during cultivating in the wet spring the tires would be mounted in reverse. He mounted the tires on my old pedal John Deere tractor backwards and I got to hear it explained every time a farmer would notice.

Tractor drive tires are directional. When installed properly the track left will point the way it went in forward direction. In mud you want the tread to gather and bunch rather than push out and dig holes. Generally, you want the direction of greatest ground traction to be in forward direction. It's amazing to me the number of smart people on youtube that do this exactly backwards.

You're right about the lug nuts, Josh. When you're tightening them up, the star pattern is what you should use. Loosening is important too because if you take off the top nuts before the bottom nuts, the wheel can fall off prematurely. I take the bottom lug nuts off first, then the top ones. The wheel usually angles toward the top. And the tread is designed that way because it pulls the tractor to the front. Think of it like crawling under barbed wire laying flat on your stomach, you use your forearms to move yourself forward like the bars on the tread. It's the same principle. Thanks for sharing! Nice tractor! 🚜

Just an idea... Find a local machine shop with a media blaster (sand blaster). Pop in with a couple of pizza's one night and say hello. I think that they would be more than willing to run things like those rusty wheel plates through. I worked in a machine shop and used to run cast iron pans through when they were rusty. They had a huge "Blaster" that would clean an old pan to new cast iron in a pass or two. In your case a couple coats of rust resistant primer will keep them from further damage. Love your channel, lucky kids. Give Granny a special scratch, she is a looker...

A quart of gray enamel and a couple spray cans of red would make that look as good as it sounds. Brush paint the hood, grille, and rims. You’ll be amazed how nice it can come out with minimal prep. If you spray it down with oven cleaner, then hot water pressure wash it you just need to wire brush the loose paint from the castings and maybe sand the rest with 120-220 .

If You face the tread where it scoops, the mud/dirt will pack into the tread and basically make a slick, the tread in the “v” fashion makes for the tire to “self-clean so when it hits the mud/dirt it pushes the old out and let’s it grab new.

There is some wisdom in using a star pattern when installing wheels but sometimes it is unnecessary on rough, slow things like the tractor--but it is a good habit for young kids to learn. Don't stress over it.
