You are a good Dad, Mr. DoRite!
I spent 40 years as a lawn and garden mechanic and that is a great fix. Good luck to your sons.
I like the TRACTOR video I like your repair but I really love the way you’re raising your boys!
WIN when you can😊
be gracious when you don’t😊 learn why you did not win and most of all enjoy and love each other!
GREAT ATTITUDE TO SHINE UPON EVERYONE AROUND YOU SIR!! ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦
Takes me waaaaaaay back to when my sons were that age. Now the grandsons have a homebuilt mini tractor that they enjoy. Very nice family you have there.
Matt Stewart Thank you, love them to pieces.
Great video Jim. You’re absolutely right about not only teaching our kids to be competitive and win, but more importantly to be a graceful looser and be a good sport at all times.

Building memories that you and your boys will never forget. Hope you will be able to post videos of your boys bringing home more hardware.
Great to see Uncle Jessie helping you.
Great fix, I used to restore old cast iron tools and Walker Turner was bad about using bearings that were odd sized and out of production.
It really must make you proud of what your son's have accomplished. They look like well behaved kids. Of course they have a great father figure. Nice work Jim. P.S. Was going to see you when you were in Cleveland but had some other pressing matters to take care of. Keep the video's coming, especially the welding. Love em

Wow...... love your channel. Tom at Hilltop Machine said I should check out the Bar Z Bash and I found your channel. Just started machining about six months ago when I found some machines at an estate sale. I am hooked big time in retirement at 59 years young. I want to learn all over again and it feels great. Even started my own channel called Flathead Ron’s Garage a few months back. The UA-cam community is wonderful for learning and meeting great people (machinists and people like me who want to learn and share knowledge). Thanks for all you do. Ron...
kudos...on the repair and getting it done with the little helper questions...
Great way to get it done Jim!
Now we need some video from the tractor pull.
That's a great dad . Good luck at the pull .
You need to build them a sled to go with the tractor. Back in '75 I got a John Deere peddle tractor. Dad put a chrome stack on it and then built a sled for it with a weight box that moved up the incline pulled by a string that was attached to the axle. The pan was plenty heavy by itself for a peddle tractor, didn't need any additional weight for the weight box. Was in several parades in '76 with it on the back of a flatbed truck. Played with using a torch in the stack to get the black diesel exhaust.
Bobs your uncle eh? lol. The guy did the hokey pokey turned around lol. Don’t you just love it when you tell somebody something and then they tell you the same thing? And you’re like Dude did you hear WTF I said? Ughh
Good luck to the boys! Hope everything goes well. Thanks for the videos.

Great fix man , rather he wins or not I bet he pulls hard and has great fun ! BUT I SURE HOPE HE WINS ..
Great Video! Better story! Keep being a great parent!!!
Awesome Jim I agree. Sometimes you have to learn that you have to earn to win, when the reward for competing isn’t that much different than winning you don’t learn how to try your best. Also you have taught them sometimes you don’t always have to buy the best but you can by hard work and street smarts you still can compete and win.
Nice job, have a GREAT weekend. It is still in the 30's here in N.E. Ohio.
Nice fix, good luck.
Good stuff Jim! Enjoyed.
ATB, Robin
Fabulous. Great story and repair
Now that’s as American as you can get just Awesome. Great video
Good luck on the upcoming pull.
Kudos on the repair! Luke knows a great Pit Chief. How about filming some of the competition if you have time.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Nice repair and tractor too!
Finding a work around, when the conventional options are no longer an option. The mark of a good mechanic/machinist.
If it works better than the original design, then it becomes an upgrade. I hope that proves to be the case in the competition, and in future competitions.
by the way, I noticed you have "Kilroy" in your keywords, but no link to him above them (just in case that is an oversight)

Good luck to the boy and the proud pappa :)
Something new I learned about you and your family today. Good Dad. Are the kids coming to the Bash this year?
Just about all the bearings I used and put things together were either a metal to metal or press fit. NOT A SLIP FIT WHICH IS JUST WRONG FROM WHAT I WAS TAUGHT YEARS AGO. Just saying fella.
NO, what this sport teaches is a father who loves his sons so much he never want them to leave the ROOST !!! REMEMBER HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY !! POLICY FACT !!
And yes Sir, I enjoyed the video as I to am a man and father.
for one pull or short race I think I would do a bronze bushing and hope.......maybe make a steel carrier too.
Time for a "Lincoln Locker" install !!
Terry Cullen I would make a spool for it but not allowed by the rules. With a spool, if one wheel hooks good and the tractor swerves violently. All safety in the kids class.
That certainly makes sense & it should be no other way !!
Good repair Jim. :-)
Great job
Good guy here.
So how long before they start wanting a full size tractor to pull? :-)
Busy children are happy children
AWESOME JOB!!!!
You say at time index 3:50, "...I am going to turn the lathe on and cut it (the workpiece) true, and then from that trueness I am going to take some measurements...". If this is indeed your exact methodology, you are create runout with the new bearing feature that you are machining. The most reliable way to get an existing part running true, is to indicate the existing features of the part, and fixture it in a 4 jaw chuck. Adjust the jaws so an existing surface near the chuck face runs true. Then indicate the surface of a feature furthest away from the chuck face. Use a mallet to tap the furthest end of the part around, and keep checking the indicator until the part is running true at the far end. Then recheck the jaw settings one more time, and the far end of the part one last time. This is how to effectively set up a part that will be held in a chuck, and get the part's existing features running concentric and coaxial to the centerline of the lathe spindle. Using a 3 jaw is fine for first run production parts, but it is not intended to re-fixture a part where the centerlines of existing features of a part must be reestablished. -------- Another comment, when a part is a rotating part, the bearings should be a press fit. When the part is a rotating housing, the bearings should be a press fit in that housing. This is standard engineering practice. It seems you have a rotating part and slip fit bearings. The fact of this part being oil lubricated will slow down the wear that will occur on the slip fit to bearing race interface, but it will happen over time. ---- Not saying this to be critical, just trying to be helpful.
Doozer Thanks for your input. I agree on both your statements. The part that I machined turns at probably (I'm guessing) 25 rpm and the way the gear actually indexes to the part I'm machining is through bolt holes. So the tolerance is, let's call it less than machine fit. So a small amount of run out was acceptable to me. The work of setting up the four jaw to get the part the .001 or so closer was lost in the fact the gear was so poorly fitted. The squeeze wasn't worth the juice to me.
On your second statement, the bearings are "press fit" into the case halves ( I call it a hammer and a bearing driver fit ). The fit to the bearing ID must be looser to allow the case halves to come apart.
Thanks for not taking my words the wrong way, I am always trying to help. I liked your video because it speaks to me when I did some modifications to tractor transmissions a few years ago. In my case, I was reworking Tecumseh Peerless 600 series transaxles. I was modifying them for higher speed, go cart use. Some had powder cast gears, and some had cut (hobbed, not sure) solid steel gears. I would buy old transaxles at garage sales, in lawn mower junkyards, anyplace. I would build them with the steel gears, replace the bronze bushings with needle bearings and ball bearings, and tighten up everything with thrust bearings and shim washers. When driving the input shaft 2.5 to 1 overdrive with respect to the engine, the resulting go cart would go 40 +++ miles per hour. It was a sliding gear transmission and you either had to double clutch it or dwell in neutral an appropriate amount of seconds to shift smoothly. I even made a fast ratio shifter, a reverse lockout, and a clutch brake. Power came from an 8hp Briggs vertical shaft engine, modified with 11hp valves and seats, a twisted duration cam with the easy spin ground off, a Mikuni slide carb and Mikuni pulse fuel pump, and a Tecumseh intake pipe. So, I really like your transmission work. Can't wait to see more of your tractor. ?? What transmission is that? Wheel horse or something else?
Nice job, would it be possible to see the tractor in action?
hi
my john deere gator transmission is hard to shift but when they shifting the driving very well ..... do I need to brake it down to fix the problem ??
Your kids must be the envy of the area. Quick question though, do they host the kid tractor pulls along with the adult ones or are they separate events?
Robert Oswalt Both, usually they do youth and adult at the same pull. Check out : Florida pullers.
Awesome 😎0⃣1⃣🏁
I am thinking of buying a ford tw with a bad gearbox would you go and buy it or would you stay away
Why to go thank you teach you dont always win but it will be okay just try harder next time not this crap of it dont matter if you win or not you still get a reward because you were there no winners or losers so as not to offend or hurt feelings
