Don't forget the blueberries in those pancakes, and buttermilk only--no sweet milk. In fact, self-rising flour, whole egg, and buttermilk (the real kind) is all you need. Mmm.
I’m very excited about the “cleaning” episode. You do a very thorough job cleaning parts before putting back together. Very interested to see methods you use. That H is getting more than a cosmetic upgrade. Haha! I hope you do a “how I paint a tractor episode” too. Thank you for all your work
" I'm already here" and "I might as well" is why my 30 minutes projects seem to take 3 hours. And my wife of 38 years just laughs when I tell her that I will only be a short time doing something. It just happened yesterday, an hour to replace mower belts and change the oil, took 4 hours.
Hooray! Preparation H just got extended. Go deep my friend, we all enjoy it. Your attention to detail,combined with your organizational skills and an obvious knowledge of the subject is beyond reproach. So rare these days, now they just label you as OCD, when all you want to do is get it right. Looking forward to more Squatch.
How lucky are we viewers, to see the shoulda coulda admissions of a good guy explaining why he did something. And the plan to fix it better, now. Since parts cleaning is the dues you gotta pay for right and propper fit and performance. I enjoy the clean and smooth reassembly that you present. That never happens with un cleaned, chased, tapped, straightened and evaluated parts. Good stuff, Toby.
Anti seize works, as does grease. I have found that in things that get hot Anti seize is far more effective than grease. The copper based anti seize is better than the aluminum based. Even locktite will seal a fastner and provides a bit of protection from seizures.
My preference is on disimilar metal contact to keep them from coroding together, and as you say wet exposed places. But I also find it best to use where the fasteners are coming apart at least in awhile to keep them moving.
Heck might as well check those bull gears at the slavage yard and see if they are better than your too. No need going back in this thing in 50 years. 🙂
Really enjoy any series you start ! Can’t wait for the cleaning parts episode! My OCD is always looking for good ways to clean old grimy parts without damaging anything. I find myself pausing the x231 videos just to admire the cleanliness of the assembled pieces before primer and paint.
"And the big gears are out, and that's no bull"... I'm dying 🤣. Cool stuff as always, interesting, informative and just darn fun. Keep up the good work.
I can understand how anti-sieze might not help much in your application. When I started wrenching on motorcycles in the early seventies a lot of bikes had cases die cast out of GOK, (God only knows). Screws were made from a different alloy that more closely resembled the metal toothpaste tubes still sold at that time. After dealing with some nasty dissimilar metal corrosion I became a believer in anti-sieze on everything except marital aids. My list of exceptions has grown over the years but it still has it's place.
Antisieze is excellent on aluminum wheels to steel hubs on vehicles. The dissimilar metals really weld themselves together making wheel removal difficult to say the least.
The subject of bevel gear mesh was very interesting to me. Nice first (yesterday) jacket/sweatshirt! :-) Even as I get older, the smiling face on the wheel hubs still get me. Hehe.
Just wanted to say Thank you for your attention to detail. I find this amazing that you are so precise on every detail it would appear that you were working on a artificial heart instead of a farm tractor. your mention of showing us how you clean parts has me waiting for your next video. And finally I feel that your kind thank you at end of video is very well accepted, thank you. Thom
It's really amazing to look up production numbers of all the 1940s-60s tractors compared to modern models. This Farmall was likely one of a quarter million made while modern tractors have a total of a few thousand. There won't be many parts nor parts tractors around for the modern tractors like there are for these old favorites.
Have you ever thought of going to your local trade school to see if the students taking c&c machining can make you any parts you may need as a part of their learning or do you want all original parts .
Squatch I enjoy watching you work on that old stuff i said it a couple of times I sure enjoy watching you fix up the old boys machines that used to farm the land back seventy years ago and keep them up and running keep up the great work you do i know them great great grandparents would be proud to see that stuff still running today
"Lot of cleaning to do" Hey this isn't a fence row tractor. You have been in here before, it looks pretty dang clean to me as is! Not sitting in the woods half full of water and pitted gears. :) I too use grease rather than anti seize on things, and it's a joy to take something apart that's been well assembled by yourself earlier.
Love the intro. I fully agree with you on the use of fluid in tires and is why I had it removed from my WD-45 tires. I added two pair of wheel weights instead. But I totally disagree with you on the use of the silver anti seize because I just love to see where it ends up; in my arm pits, in my ears, on my new shirt, on my nose, on my socks, in the crotch of my pants and as eyeshadow. :-)
I love how quickly the IHC tractors break down so quickly and condense into small piles. Beings I'm doing every bolt out restorations. I may as well do this to be able to move them to the new home.
Pretty much distilled essence of what's great about a tractor. As old machines go, there's few designs that are as refined as this unit is. Great little tractor. 🚜
What I see, and like, is the fact that heavy lifting is done properly. Using legs instead of back with weights. Making sure that you are always clear of a tire that could flop down and ruin your day. Not your first rodeo. I get a lot of use from an engine hoist. It was nice of my son to leave it with me for safe keeping. My last project was brake replacement on Farmall A. Hoist did wonders for me. As usual the sequence of dismantling is done with good description making sure that all possible mistakes are covered. More things can be broken without proper tools which only lead to more repairs. Tractor salvage yards are always fun. I enjoy the people you meet there. When I get my next project I am sure I will be making trips there. Thanks.
Thanks Toby! Your be laid plans can change drastically when you start on something. I know it’s more work for you this way BUT in the long run it’ll b well worth it and you won’t regret it. I’m 100% with you on no fluid in tires I had a bad experience last August on my 460 utility and luckily it didn’t end up worse than it did. Wish there was a way I could share those pictures with you. I really enjoy the in-depth breakdown you do on everything you work on. Thanks again and can’t wait to see what comes next!
I've been doing it wrong too Squatch, I've been doing it all wrong too... That's ok though, we are members of a more elite club. What fun is it to do what the rest are already doing anyway?
I used to do filling and draining of that fluid and tire repair and replacement of the rims because of that fluid. When I worked at Hutton tire service in Eagleville, MO. and yes I have done a lot of different jobs in my life.
This episode surprises me Toby as our 1942 Farmall H (purchased new by my Grandad) worked for 30+ years with a winch on the back in the woods, drove saws off the pulley and did a lot of roadwork and the gearbox is whisper quiet still. My brother did a full restoration on it a number of years ago but found all gears & bearings to be in great condition with only seals and gaskets being replaced. Do you know if the W6 International has a similar setup as I am about to get stuck into Grandads other purchase of 1942? Great videos👍👍🏴
Well you were pulling the wheels anyway to reset the spacing so while there might as well make it right….right!!!!! 😂👍🏻👍🏻😂 Double dog dare you to make it a Duel tire monster! Also add weights to front to keep it down!!!!
Episode twois just as edge of seat facinating as Episode one of Preperation H gearbox rebuild. It's always when you don't carry thru changing iffy parts they come back and bite you on your backside. For us subs, that's ok cause it means we get to watch and listen to squatch explaining his mistake and admitting to it then showing the various streps he will take to make the big red H right again.
Squatch, I strive to achieve your level of perfection. The one thing I have to challenge you on is anti-sieze. I think it works, but its not magic. I have 12 or 13 antique tractors now (lost count lol) and it is easy to tell which have and have not had anti-sieze on the fasteners. I do agree that grease is a more than adequate substitute for anti-aieze.
This project reminds me of a slightly older pop tune... "one thing... one thing leads to another...." Everything it seems works this way, if you as the person doing the work, care at all to do things correctly.
9:22 I recall only using antiseize on exhaust items like O2 sensors, otherwise it tends to plug up the threads. A nice sticky amber grease seemed to work best. (I don't remember the additive content right off hand)
One of the "field expedient means" we used in the military was to strap a couple of boards on the tire and then put down a runner board or two with some grease on it so the tire would slide off the hub or axle. How well does the grease work in aluminum castings with steel or some other dissimilar metal such as trim pieces or light housings? Yes, cleaning the large item like the housings, would be interesting and worth while, as they do not fit into a pan. My question on that is are you planning to use glyptal on the inside? I agree with you on the loaded tires, but there is some where that is your only option, such as on my IHC 404 utility.
Are you using a crescent wrench just to see if I’m watching? I know that I haven’t commented in a few videos, but I promise I am still watching. Also, you should talk to the person who made the gaskets for the axle housings and bull pinion housings and have him make gaskets for the belly pump drive. Whoever made those gaskets clearly needed a lesson in appropriate gasket material.
Not sure of what principle is in play but jobs always expand to fill the time alloted. Just like an onion, whenever you peel away one layer there's always something underneath. Eventually you run out of onion.
Glad to hear you speak to the machine, I do the same, my wife is part Native American and still thinks its weird, but some of them do listen and behave and others still misbehave!
I guess if you have the cash and the time its best to do everything while you have the tractor apart. Its not really good practice to replace only one gear of a worn mating pair, so if you can get the bits then put it back as near to new as possible. I'm nudging 70 and my drive to rip things apart is waning now. A day under a car changing a gearbox leaves me with aching muscles for the next three days.
This is a prime example of "No plan survives first contact with the enemy." Hope everything goes smooth from here!
Break a leg, as they say at the theatre.
Or as Mike Tyson said it: "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face."
Tune in next time for Squatch to disassemble the engine (for reasons).
Don't give him any more ideas!!!!
@@randallvos It's not on us... if the parts arrive later and that gives him time to think...
Come on man, you know that’s coming. Bring it on
@@rogernation2551he drops that pan you KNOW he's going to look around. 😂
Looking forward to Episode 5 Crank shaft removal and bearings replacement.
Episode 6: Casting a New Cylinder Head.
Episode 7 - pouring new rims.
Episode 8 - Making all-new gears from raw stock with only a file & Mk 1 eyeball.
Episode 9 - rewiring (ReWinding) the starter and generator by hand.
@@MoparNewport Re-winding you mean
Hoping for a true unedited behind-the scenes clip from a "Behind The Scenes" episode where Toby, while trying to simultaneously pull the ring gear assembly and film the process, lets out a stream of lubricating curse words when the bull pinion gear decides to hang up the entire works. X231, 15 feet away, immediately changes its clutch adjustment for no apparent reason- but somehow it's connected. Jump cut immediately to Senior once again shaking his head at his child's foolishness, then ambling off to a nice pancake & homemade maple syrup breakfast. :)
Don't forget the blueberries in those pancakes, and buttermilk only--no sweet milk. In fact, self-rising flour, whole egg, and buttermilk (the real kind) is all you need. Mmm.
Looking forward to the "How I clean parts" episode. Your parts are pretty pristine looking going back together.
“Should have done it before, oh well, we can make content out of it now.” Hey, we love the content. I find these videos very relaxing to watch.
The Bull Gears look good Squatch!!))
This is just like the shop I work at. A easy “cosmetic restoration” turns into a 500 man hour rebuild. I love it!
I was thinking somethign similar.... "Here comes another teardown and full restoration", just like Senior's Farmall that was 'just an repair'
I had to come back and watch this video so I can figure out how to take my rear outer axle bearing out lot more work then I thought it would be

Those are definitely dangerous words!
Watching you having to lift everything with a cherry picker sure makes me appreciate my bridge crane.

Hey Squatch, look carefully at 10:54!!! On the left side of the screen it looks like the worlds largest "Intake or Exhaust" valve for a motor...
Is that from a steam engine?
Interesting 👍👍
Just goes to show how attention to detail during a previous assembly made life so much easier this time 👌👍
I watched a clip on the two brothers which developed bobcat , it's really worth watching, methodical thinkers like you
Well done. A very sensible re-think about the situation. Make hay while the sun shines!

Excellent video now is the time to fix it the right and proper way. You got it tore down nicely. Keep up the great videos
Good video Toby... ha, you're such a good instructor. With a gun to my head... I couldn't put that drive train back together.
Man u got it broke down that far u might as well paint it
At 21:00, I caught you talking to tractor parts the way Pete, at Just A Few Acres Farm, does. “Get out of the way! You behave!”

1:17 not three words, but still as good: "In for a penny, in for a pound." :))
Since it was already torn down it sure makes this teardown easy. Plus you know exactly what went on in the previous tear down. Bonus! 😅
Look forward to seeing you tear down the duff unit.
You know you’re going to, make peace with it.

I don't use aintisezed alot but I mainly use copper pipe lube for my exhaust never had a problem

I appreciate you explaining the process of the dismantling and rebuilding. Thanks.
At the very least you are going to look at and disassemble the clutch and flywheel....you know.... while it is apart and easy to get right now.
always amazes me how an engineer can design just enough room to remove a shaft if the sun and moon are aligned just right, not an ounce of extra room.
Episode twois just as edge of seat facinating as Episode one of Preperation H gearbox rebuild.
It's always when you don't carry thru changing iffy parts they come back and bite you on your backside.

Name of the band…… The Fixx 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤦♂️😳 story of my life!!! 🤷♂️ ✌️🤙
Glad to see I'm not the only one arguing with the old boys that anti seize doesn't work . Good old grease works great 👍
A full fledged Squatch253 project!
I fear the day you run out of old equipment to work on lol
Tractor splitting makes for fine content!
When your into the gears this much put the 7 mph 4 gear in it will really make a wonderful difference
I knew you would be in further than you thought as soon as I first heard you mention the project!! Next you’ll be pulling the engine!
Let's see if Squash finds a reason to open up the engine as well - tractor is already split 😂
There was this noise...
looking forward to the clean and glyptaling the trans and final case. lol.
9:22 I recall only using antiseize on exhaust items like O2 sensors, otherwise it tends to plug up the threads. A nice sticky amber grease seemed to work best. (I don't remember the additive content right off hand)
Steel bolts into threaded cast aluminum motorcycle cases require antiseize.
The "Midas Well" - you fell face first into it :D
I used to rassle fluid tires when I was in my eary 20's... not as large as yours though.
Anti seize's main advantage is in high temp applications.
While i'm in here i might as well just... I have a Cat 10 that is suffering that same problem. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
You make it all look so simple and easy.
Suspiciously so!
One of the "field expedient means" we used in the military was to strap a couple of boards on the tire and then put down a runner board or two with some grease on it so the tire would slide off the hub or axle.
How well does the grease work in aluminum castings with steel or some other dissimilar metal such as trim pieces or light housings?
Yes, cleaning the large item like the housings, would be interesting and worth while, as they do not fit into a pan. My question on that is are you planning to use glyptal on the inside?
I agree with you on the loaded tires, but there is some where that is your only option, such as on my IHC 404 utility.
Lmao 😂that title was hilarious 😆 thanks for making my day buddy
I’m not going to say anything about the H not fighting you, don’t want to jinx it. Great video as always!
Yes would good be good to see your cleaning process 👍
Are you using a crescent wrench just to see if I’m watching? I know that I haven’t commented in a few videos, but I promise I am still watching. Also, you should talk to the person who made the gaskets for the axle housings and bull pinion housings and have him make gaskets for the belly pump drive. Whoever made those gaskets clearly needed a lesson in appropriate gasket material.
I scrolled through the comment section just to find this here. I knew it would be here.
You should purchase original plans for all there Moline prototypes buy old company if he can start getting casting original parts
Squatch I think you need a bigger shop 😊
very col to watch. along with the detailed explanation.
Well that escalated quickly
Anti sieze works best in high temp application. Manifold bolts and nuts high moisture applications grease is your best bet
Not sure of what principle is in play but jobs always expand to fill the time alloted. Just like an onion, whenever you peel away one layer there's always something underneath. Eventually you run out of onion.
