    Love learning about the torque amplifier. Your videos seem so different than the typical ones on YT. You present things in a normal way and manage to mention all the important details while keeping your viewers from getting bored. YT has many problems but you're one reason why I'll never leave.

    I don’t understand a word you said but I’m mesmerized by your every word. My husband asked me, “and why are we watching this?” And I replied, “because it’s Pete, it’s fascinating and we want to watch every episode.” ❤️

    I have no use for tractor repair. I live in the big city. Why do I watch your repair videos? Its your calming narrative that I enjoy so much. I can and often do watch these videos 2 and yes 3 times. I enjoy with my first coffee of the day. So thank you and DO keep making this type of content. Thank you.

    Thank you Mr Pete for letting us share your experience. My husband was into car engines and all. I helped him. We are in our mid 70s and enjoy reminiscing. That engine joist brought back memories. God is Good. Ty again.

    It blows my mind that someone is smart enough to build these things in the first place where everything has to be perfectly in line and to be able to fit everything in it. And this is simple to the modern ones.

    Another great video Pete, and the funny thing is, I'm 80 yrs old, don't even own a tractor, well my cub lawn mower, but I love this series and all the past rebuild/restorations the MD, the "A" etc. and now this series I watch intently as if I'm going to be doing the same thing in the future, I followed throught the drawing and thought Oh yes I remember whe he showed that direct drive idea etc. its just so fascinating and you do such a great job of discribing things and keep my attention so locked I just have to keep watching. what does that tell you Pete! "You is a good teacher" that's what!. thanks so much for making this old man's day. and for sharing ECF.

    Some engineer thought it would insure the gear and shaft went in correctly by adding the extra shoulder that way. It amazes me how thoughtful and deliberate those engineers were.

    The IH TA was a big problem for John Deere for a lot of years lol. Because when John Deere got into a tough pull and would peter out on pulling power and stall, IH could pull a lever, and split the gear they’re in, in half and pull through the tough spot, and keep on going lol. This was usually used while plowing. I tell you the TA is one fascinating piece of IH engineering, and in 1954 when it first came out in the Super M, the engineers at IH were some of the most brilliant minds in the entire Ag Industry. Even today the TA remains a big mystery to a lot of people, and yeah you have people that love the TA, and you got people that hate the TA and delete them out, but to me, the TA means you always have that edge over other brands, because no other brand can have it. It’s one more reason IH is the best even today still. And it’s one more reason John Deere was always behind IH as a Ag manufacturing giant.

    I can’t imagine how much extra work there was for you to line up the camera to capture every shot of each step of this restoration. In my mind it was double work, but I really appreciate that. You memorialized all the steps because from an engineering standpoint it is remarkable, and your knowledge of all these parts is also completely amazing.

  • @PTC61
    @PTC61 10 місяців тому +1

    it never occurred to me before watching this particular video, but there’s obviously a lot of crossover in the skill set between your clock, fixing and transmissions. You’re a master at both.

I look forward to seeing the rest of this series and I hope you'll be willing to do more in the future as well.

    This is incredibly fascinating - but it dawns on me that this tech is fairly old. They came up with this I don't know how many decades ago - all of our more recent tech advances are geared more toward reducing emissions rather than designing new ways to leverage force and get better numbers using physics. I'm still hoping they will get to designs that are maintenance friendly. Thanks for sharing this project with us - I love to learn how things actually work.

    It's hard to express my thoughts in a short comment. Excellent, excellent video Pete. I thoroughly enjoyed the appendices, especially the diagram and teaching of the transfer of power. Your videos on the restorations have terrific explanations. They are structured and comprehensive and you have me hooked with them. You have proved that with patience, research, fair mechanical ability, and a little ingenuity nearly anyone could do what you've shown here. And there is always the allure of staying til the end to see the tractor making smoke in the fields again. Best of luck to you and don't pinch your fingers.

    You've given us a lot of information to digest, good job. While I didn't fully understand all the specifics of the TA, I get the basic concept of how it works and interacts. I am a person that understand more when I see it rather than read or told it. I commend your patience and steadfast resolve to get this process done. Thanks for your explanation on this very complicated process. I hope your day is good!
    Reminder List: Don't forget to pull the retainer on the counter shaft and main shaft, to put Loctite on the bolts.

    I thoroughly enjoy your mechanical videos, super informative. I made a living working on equipment and I’m still learning new things everyday. I’ve owned tractors with torque amplifiers in the past but I never got into them, but was always curious as to how they actually worked. I also enjoy you explaining how they work on paper, which makes it easier to understand. You probably never figured that you would be a teacher! Lol you’re a pretty good one!! Thanks for all you do. Blessings!

    That TA is where farmall really came out ahead of Massey Ferguson in that time period. And I’m a die hard Massey man. MF multipower works in a very similar manner, but in low multi, the tractor is able to freewheel. The TA comes out way ahead because it maintains engine braking and mechanical connection in both modes of the TA

    Okay - I was looking to see how the counter shaft would still drive the tractor in the forward gears because, of course, the counter shaft is the reverse shaft (for those of us who don't deal with these tractors). You answered it, so thanks for that - OH, and don't forget to remove those 8 bolts one at a time on those retainer plates and add the blue locktite (lol).

    You're an Expedia regarding these types of things I am so glad to hear and learn from you even though I am in a wheelchair and unable to do so because I am in hospice care now at the age of 50 years old.
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge of these tractors!
    This will be available for everyone to know once you pass on have you thought about this?
    Again you are an Expedia regarding these tractors we all can not afford to lose your knowledge and for all of that, we must thank you for all of it.

    I think the Sprag Clutch allows the shaft to rotate at the faster speed, when both clutches are engaged. The two clutches are trying to spin the shaft at two different speeds, but the Sprag only allows the higher speed through.

I wanted to share this video with a friend who is thinking about pasturing his chickens with his dexter in the Carolinas to give him some 'food for thought' so to speak, I would really appreciate any help from the community directing me to this vid, Thank you in advance. Love this channel.. Have a wonderful day all.

    Appendix one and two both where interesting to listen. I don't think I will be dealing anything this complicated but I sure appreciate all the work you put into this video. Lot of the logic here applies to many other machines with the similar or same setup. Thank you Pete for taking the time to explain these things to us. I'm convinced the tractor will run nice and be a lot smoother to operate. I do have the feeling the front axel may pose a challenge but we shall see.

    Wow ! thank you Pete ! that is a neat way to transmit power ! I can't get over having the main shaft in the transmition split so they can rotate at different speeds...it's like HOW do you do that!?!?! LOL but you explained it very well, the direct drive gears seems like a hard way to go about it really but those parts take alot of force so it has to be really tough !
    I am in Awe about that tractor ! it truly is a mechanical marvel ! thank you for showing us !
    and explaining it all..... by far it's the best entertainment all day ! LOL....i love mechanical things !

    Great video Pete! I've had half dozen IH tractors with a TA. I was always a bit mystified as to exactly how they work. You cleared up a lot of mystery!

    Get a white or yellow ink marker and mark the bolts that have been torqued and lock tite on them. Easy way to remember.
