Water Pump replacement finished

[@TheByard]

Well done and no nuts and bolts left over either. Your re-assemble reminded me of another of my stories My father owned an Armstrong Siddley, car the Whitley model, he got the site mechanic to fit new brake shoes after work. As a young teenager I helped and cleaned up all the parts, we assembled the brakes the next evening and the mechanic asked what I'd done with two missing springs, I said there was only one spring on each set of shoes, but he didn't believe me. So two more springs were purchased. But the brakes would not work properly, dad called Armstrong Siddley and they opened especially on Saturday morning to check the brakes out. we sat in the waiting room having a coffee, the shop Forman came in and put two springs on the table and said the cars OK now. Dad gave me a look and just shook his head. There was no charge for the brake check, so dad took the manager and foreman for a beer and recited the story. The manager nipped out and came back with the AS bonnet mascot mounted on a wooden plinth, I still have it and AS have long gone, along with many other Great car manufacturer's.

Good Moaning Vietnam - great story.. thanks for sharing.

You know... the only thing this tractor needs now is a paint job. Maybe your local high schools vo-ag class needs a project? Decades ago, our class rebuilt engines, transmissions, and new paint on a whole bunch of them. I'm guessing that schools are still looking for projects. It was a pretty good deal for the farmer. They paid for parts and sometimes a small pizza party at the end. Win-win

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

So glad to see it running and fixed again!! Thank you very much for bringing us along, different tractor but very informative to me!!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

I was very happy to get it all back together and not have any water leaks I'm usually the world's worst plumber

[@DennysCountryLife]

Looks like she's a winner! Nice work. Scotty got those lines matched up perfect!

[@chuckstevenson2929]

Cousin Scotty to the rescue. Thanks for this well done video series on your water pump replacement SF.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Chuck Stevenson - so glad cousin knew how to put the bracket back together and was able to come over when he did. Chuck thanks for watching and being here.

[@markmortensen4341]

So glad you got it back together and didn't lose a bunch of farming time. Take care and God bless.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Mark Mortensen - blessed I was to finish planting my beans and was able to take care of this before I go back out to plant the sorghum. thanks for being here.

[@rodder2046]

She's purring like a kitten. You and cuz Scott did a great job !!!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Rodder 204 - amazing how the first 2 bolts I found in the junk bolt box fit and did the trick of making the 4020 sound a lot better. thanks for watching.

[@kswaynes7569]

Thank God for Cousin Scotty! Glad you accomplished that task and the 4020 is ready to go.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

AKWayne S - Amen.

[@crslyrn]

Fine job there Soybean Farmer. The 4020 sounds good & like she's read to go turn some dirt. Stay safe.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

crslyrn - thanks

[@41willys62]

That old girl could use a shed to stay in. Glad you finally got her going!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

fouronthefloor - would love to have one for her.

[@GerraldFarms]

A lot of times i take pixs with my phone.Glad you and cuzz got it back together.Have a good one

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Gerrald Farms - I really messed up when I failed to take that picture.

[@pagrainfarmer]

Well, you succeeded as I knew you would. While it had to be frustrating, I know it feels good when you persevere and prevail (with God's help). Good job!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Charlie Adamchik - finished up putting the antifreeze in tonight and yes it feels really good. with God to guide and provide we accomplished the task.

[@jankotze1959]

Bravo, well done SBF, it definitely sounds more solid, no doubt about it, good show for you and Cousin Scotty

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Jan Kotze - amazing different sound for sure to me. thanks for watching here Jan.

[@markbuilt]

Very nice old tractor and very nice job . Sounds like a John Deere

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

markbuilt - thanks for watching and being here.

[@dannydunnagan3267]

Glad you got it back together but it running great that,s all that matters.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Danny Dunnagan - yes, runs good and right is better than looks good. thanks.

[@bigDH123]

Good job SBF. if you took some wax and done your sheet metal I'll bet it would shine right up

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

big D fan - thanks for watching and maybe on the wax but to many other things calling my name right now.

[@larryraynor3311]

thumbs up back at cha my friend,,,now it can rest till the beans are harvested

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Larry Raynor - actually between now and the 4th of July I plan to get 2.5 acres of sweet grazer sorghum planted as a soil improvement project. so the 4020 has a job to do in the next week or so.

[@trenzmeister]

glad you got it fixed

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Truman Renz - thanks.

[@gleanerk]

Hey glad the nightmare is over , thanks for sharing bud!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Scott’s Small Farming and Things . - YES!!! first thanks for the help... as for the nightmare, I talked to Jeff at Wilson Co. Supply this morning and there is a solution for the nematode problem while still using Liberty water hemp killing product. Jeff said he has a way to actually kill the nematodes without harming the eco of the soil. praise God. next year group 5, early harvest and we move to wheat with a much reduced nematode problem. in my search I found out nematodes are a wide spread problem much greater than I had originally suspected. Illinois is 100% infected while NC is only infected from western Wake to the coast. I wonder what Jeff and Jake are doing up there to fight the issue. have a blessed day cousin.

[@TAHDAHFarm]

Another job well done. What about the lights.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

TAH-DAH Farm - LED lights make daytime out of nighttime. cameras just don't do them justice. I am considering changing the single 20 amp fuse link to 3 separate fuses. right now if the one fuse blows I'm in the dark trying to find my way back to the shop. after thoughts on the way I did this last year. thanks for watching.

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

I never put just water........Come winter you will have to drain and add antifreeze...... I keep a 50/50 mix for adding to systems that need it.... Antifreeze also lowers the boiling point......plus I don't have to run myself crazy checking what needs antifreeze when a cold snap comes.....

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

The finishing touch is the anti freeze on Thursday. I wanted to make sure i had no leaks.

[@Masseydriver]

Cousin Scott to the rescue!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Massey1105driver - Amen.

[@CMDSR]

Awwww you forgot to show us how the JB weld on radiator bracket turned out. JK I’m sure it worked fine since the cowling is back in place.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

It was crap I don't know why I don't grab every piece of tube of that crap I've got here and throw it in the trash I'm going to end up having to braise it which I can do now.

[@michiganfarming1955]

glad shes all back together! time to get some seat time and let the coal roll!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Michigan Farming - I am well pleased with the outcome. thanks for watching and being here my friend.

[@massey2680]

Do you use anti freeze or better still cool guard for corrosion and protection against cavitation ? this will also help the engine run cooler ! would of been nice to see you remove that stud yourself !

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

chris marston - yes, need more tools to do more of the work myself. antifreeze will be a 50/50 mix with distilled water as it is in all my radiators. thanks for watching and commenting.

[@jerrydavis2420]

I hope you are going to put something in there besides just water. The block will rust up on you quicker and the seals on that new waterpump willnot be happy for as long.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

jerry davis - in the 19 years I've owned this 4020 I've changed the antifreeze 3 times. with the water pump off this was my first opportunity to see an inside water jacket and I was well pleased with what I saw. no rust and very clean. so yes, now that I have the confidence to know 48 dollars of antifreeze rust inhibitor is going to stay inside and not fall out on the ground I'll be getting that done Thursday night after I get home from work. thanks for the concern, watching and being here.

[@SchnelleKat]

Very nice you got it back together!!! How many hrs on that 4020?

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Kyle H - the bracket brace for the hydraulic lines had me stumped but my cousin saw it and remembered how they went back together. I'll have to go and look at the hour meter for the correct number showing. thanks for watching and being here.

[@SchnelleKat]

@@SoybeanFarmer3300 Good thing you're cousin saw it otherwise you'd both be stumped, lol. Alright cool. :D Greetings from Michigan By the way!

[@mrourcanada8964]

I can’t believe that’s the same tractor it just sounds completely different Amanda Cousin Scott

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

mrour canada - I think it sounds different too. thanks for saying this.

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

I cant quote the bible but I can quote Gene Wilder. "ITS ALIVE!!" Has to feel good!

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Jon Stevens Maple Grove Farms - feels great and now it is on to the next action packed adventure. thanks for watching and being here Jon.

[@JohnAmes]

Farmers work is never done

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

John Ames - even when it rains there things needing to be done.

[@scottmarteeny0441]

Wax that thing

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]
