Paul from Ontario here... I love the video, great repair... I am working on IH 434 here... When I am forced to machine thin unhappy parts like that, I have been known to hose clamp a die grinder or even a 4 inch electric grinder right to the tool holder, then grind the parts... Way less pressure on the parts and chuck teeth... I might have even been seen gluing or spot welding parts to a heavier base to clamp. Or even, heaven forbid right to the chuck... I am an outside the box thinker... I don't like it when parts come out to try to get me lol... Cheers... You seem like a cool guy to hang out with :)

[@VinyB57]

Hey thanks Paul for your suggestions! My mindset was not at it's best this afternoon of machining, and thinking of smarter/safer ways to make it was not my priority, unfortunately! 🤦‍♂️I'll do it better next time!

[@paulpedersen6904]

@@VinyB57 Kinda makes a guy wonder how they made them in the first place? :) One piece like you did, or rolled and welded or maybe stamped or maybe even powder pressed? IDK?

[@philleeson7835]

Repaired without a single piece of baler twine in sight. This guys good,very good

[@VinyB57]

HAHAHA! 🤣...There's at least 20 nails on that thing, but no baler twine so far!

[@rjung_ch]

I have been subbed, always like and often add my 2 cents here in the comment section. You are making this tractor be ready for another 40 years, well, at least 20 🙂 Thanks VinyB 👍💪✌

[@VinyB57]

Big thanks! Can we start with 10 years...not sure the engine will live that long! 😅

[@rjung_ch]

@@VinyB57 10 years are good enough 🙂

[@paulphotios3920]

And after 20 it's sold for scrap and ends up being rebuilt in the Punjab to last another 50 years.

It's always so nice to see an old good, good old tractor being restored for yourself. It's almost like new. 😊

[@VinyB57]

Almost-iiishh...😬

[@modelmaker007]

That was painful. Love the patients to fix it. Put a new tractor on the wish list. It only took me 30 years to get my new tractor, only wish i had it sooner. Love your channel and joking around. Keep up the good work.

[@tonyestvik7969]

Good job! No one like you can make this more entertaining then you....its really interesting that it hasnt made sounds before, I mean you have put this Masy to his/her test.....ok the backhoe , could it maybe been helping to NOT make the sound you had in the beginning of the film...? Question.... hardening steel at home, does it have to be a special kind of steel, or can you hardening any kind? And does not hardening marke it more britall? And can you use any oil, I got at home....? Really nice job, and love to see you films, always the first Im starting to watch at then you realized the new! Take care!

[@VinyB57]

Tony, you need high carbon steel, if you want to have hardened steel. Yes, pretty ,much all oils will work, some may more toxic then others! You should check youtube videos about the subject to get more details!

[@wxfield]

You have some of the most enjoyable mechanical videos I have ever seen on the 'tubes. Amazing job. We have a similar Masey parked in the woods here near our farm shop that was parked 30+ years ago because of similar issues. Parts you can no longer get. I occasionally will search Ebay for parts, and I do get lucky sometimes. Eventually I will have enough parts to get it put back together. I just don't have the patience or tooling needed to make my own parts like you do.

[@VinyB57]

Thanks for your comment mate! Good luck with your rebuild!

[@htownblue11]

Vinny is my spirit animal I swear…..😂😂😂. Heck of an effort. I’m actually shocked and impressed you were able to make a lot of the parts you made in your own shop.

Hey! glad you got entertained my fellow canadian friend! There's a few more vids available! But start with the newest stuff...the younger, the better...a mean...you got it, right? 🤦‍♂️

[@matthewpeterson3329]

Great video as always. A note on cleaning, as I do a lot of assy/disassy of heavy equipment (loaders, graders, fork lifts)... get a rubbermaid storage tub and pour a gallon of diesel in it. Don't clean parts as you disect assemblies... put whole assembly in the tub and clean your parts as you go. It helps keep your work space much cleaner and the filth is contained.

[@brianchristen5849]

Great job, I love to make old things new again.

[@VinyB57]

Me too, it's way more rewarding!

[@BillupsOMally]

I would be very interested to see how the 3d-printed seal holds up in the long term. I think it has a fighting chance in the low speed, short action environment though.

[@JaakkoIsWatching]

It will be good, it's not going to do 100k miles or 100mph in Viny's yard.

[@VinyB57]

Oh yeah, I'm sure it will be just fine! If it wasn't for the time it takes to re-assembled the spindel with the yoke, printing a new one and changing it would be super easy!

[@VinyB57]

unfortunately, I don't a rotary table yet! I'll get one, one day for sure! I though using my boring head...but it's a too large of diameter for it!

[@keithviolette5870]

@VinyB57 I may have one that I haven't used in forever if you are interested. Not much use for the big one as I have a smaller one and CNC on my Bridgeport.

[@seansysig]

Viny very interesting seal material how about a 100 hour update on seal and bearing integrity?

[@VinyB57]

I'll be glad to do it...only if the spindel was not such a F*&?$%er to put in! 😅

Once again, you have absolutely amazed me, Mr. B, and your French Canadian accent and corny jokes are part of what has endeared me to you and your adventures. By the way, did you ever get heat in your shop? Thanks for sharing with us Viny, I certainly enjoyed it!

[@VinyB57]

Hey big thanks! No heat yet in the shop!! I like it cold I guess! 🤷‍♂️

[@richvandervoort2950]

Next time you machine something like the bearing race, the last matching operation should be to separate the race from the excess material. You want to use a surface where a large tolerance does not affect the fit or function of the part. You may even do the separation after the heat treat. Also try using an insulating surface on top of your metal table when heating up your part, like some thin cement board. This way you will get less heat transfer out of your part.

[@RyanWithAviators]

I recently undertook a similar project on a 1982ish Ford 1200 compact tractor. The front axle actually locked up and I feared the worst about the ring and pinion gears, since it's much like this Massey - you're never going to find a replacement. Well, thankfully, it happened to be the differential bearings all locked up because of rust. Yeah. I drained the axle out and nothing but a bit of water came out. Whoever took this axle apart before me never installed any sort of seal or sealant between the housing pieces. All good until I put it back together and found that you can install the ring gear on the wrong side of the pinion as easily as you can on the correct side. Sooo it was spinning backwards. Thankfully my axle shafts were easier to take apart and put together, being u-joints.

[@VinyB57]

You got lucky it was just a seized bearing!! Thanks for the comment Ryan!

[@RyanWithAviators]

​@@VinyB57 Yes, incredibly lucky. Thanks for the videos.

[@VinyB57]

Thank you, appreciate it!

[@klo1679]

I’ve worked with the modern equivalent, and honestly the whole axle has been changed to the point I can only recognize some things as being carried over. What you are calling a yoke is actually called a CV joint, a yoke is generally part of the universal joints on the driveshafts, generally the part that connects the shaft spider to the transmission output or diff input. A modern replacement for most of the parts shouldn’t be hard to find, they do still make the modern version.

[@benoitchartrand5772]

[@aarontena]

Viny you're the engineer here and you're the one who has an idea of what he's doing but, wouldn't have been better to make 3D printed dimple dies for the bearing race and given it shape with a press???

[@VinyB57]

I wouldn't do 3D printed dies, cause it needs to be at 90° and would required a sh!t ton of force to forme...but I think, you're right, they must have used that process to manufacture those races...I never though about dimple dies...good idea mate! 👌

[@aarontena]

@VinyB57 tbh 3D printed dies made of nyloncf or petg filaments could be fairly strong, I suggest looking into it for future projects, but I suppose it's a simple enough shape that you could've made the dimple on the laith Excellent work as always! I can't wait to see more restoration work done to this tractor

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

If that big bearing ends up blowing out. You may want to try just making a busing set for it instead of a bearing. Even if you have to replace it every five years it would work.

[@VinyB57]

That could be an option! The first option, for me, would be the remachine it, without the heat treatment, to keep it round! I already noted the dimensions from the other side, in case this happens, so I can machine another one without disassembling the other side for reference! But I think the engine will give up before that race! 😅 Thanks for the suggestion!
