Pete I love watching you restore this old tractors. My uncle owns and old allis Chambers c that I would like to get working one day it has sat for a really long time.
You have reached a milestone in the restoration on your MD tractor. We are happy you now have most of the engine painted so it won't be too long before we can hear the engine purrrr. Pete, you sure are a great teacher on engine restoration.
I have to admit I have found myself looking at my UA-cam a few times the last couple of days for the updated videos , what can I say I really enjoy this series of videos along the rest of the channels content mostly cause you can learn and have a take away from each video. Keep up the good work!
I’m a retired accountant without any mechanical knowledge. I am in awe of your skill & knowledge you have with these motors. Love watching.& getting the explanations. Thank you.
Hey Pete, I enjoy your videos, especially the ones about rebuilding the Farmall MD engine. You are an excellent communicator and explain things well. When I cut off a bolt, a nut will never screw on the bolt. What I do is to take the bolt I have cut off to a bench grinder. Hold the bolt at a 45 to 60-degrees angle to horizontal and grind all around the end of the bolt. A nut will always start. Give it a try
Thank Pete for the lesson on the timing. I'm restoring a co op E3 IV been trying to find the right way for the lash. I was told if you found TDC compression you could adjust 1,2,3,5 and do one complete Revolution then do 4,6,7,8. I tried it and it didn’t work I’m going to try it the way you explained it. Thanks again!!
I love what you are doing with this engine. I especially liked that you chose to use the original o-rings for the injectors. It reminds me to keep everything during disassembly. You never know if you need them or use them for reference because it's a genuine part.
Pete you remind me of one of my auto mechanic instructors when you have those gloves on. He told us to treat all engine parts like we were doing surgery. Nice job and I enjoy your explanations when dealing with each component.
Hey Pete I also live in New York and am a hour away. And I know that you live in New York because I have gone past your farm a couple of times and remembered it in the videos.
That's a good move, Pete, putting a die on the bolt before cutting it. For those that might not have a die, a standard nut will suffice. Also to keep the stud from turning, a double nut one those threads tightened up and held in the vice will be a good step as well. This is the same technique that you used later in the vid.
Well, it may be frustrating to you, but I am enjoying the journey. Setbacks, they happen, but all I can say is that that engine looks really nice! Please keep going, I am eager to see it fire up for the first time after the total rebuild!
Doing a heck of a job! I use the same method for installing valve cover gaskets, seems to work like a charm! Is the valve lash setting specified cold or hot in the manual? I know on a gas M the valve lash is .017" hot. I usually set them to about .019" cold for initial start up.
Easy way to clean treads after a bolt was cut off. file or grind from the bolt head side. it will remove most of the burs. The slight taper will also assist with setting the bolt.
Looks awesome Pete been following this built and enjoy your channel a ton!!! you mite pick up a crows foot wrench to adapt your torque wrench if this is a problem you have frequently for those pesky tougher spots when torqued bolts are a issue. Great job pete!!!!

Great video series. Try a few drips of oil on the o ring when installing. It keeps the ring from binding and tearing and makes it go easier.
Looking Awesome Pete, can't wait to see it All put back together 7 to Hear that 1st Start up!!
I'm currently in the middle of restoring an old tractor so I love watching this series
Excellent series Pete. You deserve a lot of credit for taking time to shoot and edit these videos. Thanks.
I’m a retired accountant without any mechanical knowledge. I am in awe of your skill & knowledge you have with these motors. Love watching.& getting the explanations. Thank you.
Nice job Pete, it's looking great! I am sure it will run as good as it looks.
You are doing an excellent job and giving excellent details. They need to use these videos for class instructions.👍👍👍
My husband is enjoying all your videos. He's impressed with what you do accomplish with working on these tractors. Be well.

Me too!
I can almost smell the fresh paint getting hot during her first fire up. Love those smells on fresh motors!

I love watching your videos. It helps me relax when I watch you work on tractors and mess with the animals.
My son and I have learnt so much watching your videos, thank you
can't wait to hear it's first start after the rebuild.
I love what you are doing with this engine. I especially liked that you chose to use the original o-rings for the injectors. It reminds me to keep everything during disassembly. You never know if you need them or use them for reference because it's a genuine part.
This whole series of videos has been so enjoyable to watch. Can’t wait to see it come to an end and see it running again.
Go for it Pete. I’m excited to see it when it’s completed.
Pete you remind me of one of my auto mechanic instructors when you have those gloves on. He told us to treat all engine parts like we were doing surgery.
Nice job and I enjoy your explanations when dealing with each component.
That’s a lot of progress Pete, thanks for explaining this so clearly and in such detail.
This has been a great series. Thanks for the experience.
Can't wait!!! Can't wait!!!! You are so close!! I am so excited and happy for you.
The tractor is looking great. I think I have watched every episode in this series. You doing a great job. Can't wait to see it back together.
Thanks Evan! The Case 630 is up next!
Nice job Pete! It’s gonna be awesome to hear that tractor start!
Your attention to details is amazing.
Just received your book. Can’t wait to dive in this evening. Thanks again.
Love the job you are doing on the engine.
When the paint goes on, it's downhill from there.👍👍❤🚜
Love these videos. Looks awesome. Can’t wait for the next one. 🚜
You are getting it together buddy thanks for sharing I’m putting my seal of approval on the job can’t wait to hear it run
Pete is very crafty.
Nice to see you are making some headway
Super exciting to see the progress. I'm about to start working on my Farmall M to do a restoration to.
Make a CD of this build it is very fascinating. If you ever sell or otherwise pass on this tractor to another, the CD of the build will be cherished.
Super impressive work as always Pete!
Congrats!!!!! Nice job closing that one up. Long time coming.
hey pete will be great to hear the MD when you get her fired up !!
Congratulations for getting to this point. It's been an interesting journey.
A great mechanic told me one time to use vaseline on the other side so it could be removed without damaging the gasket. Love your y tube channel
Hey Pete I also live in New York and am a hour away. And I know that you live in New York because I have gone past your farm a couple of times and remembered it in the videos.
Looking good. Can't wait to hear her run.

That’s a butie, love that I H. Red!
Great way to do it.
Love your video’s 🐔🚜👍
Love your patience and attention to detail.
When torquing a nut or bolt without a torque wrench, you torque using wrist pounds.
Thank you for sharing, much appreciated.
Tom Weidner in Ohio, love your channel , watch every episode , just finished your book fantastic story God bless and keep up the good work.
Thanks Tom!
Use a crow foot wrench end on a extension oriented to 90 with your torque wrench to torque things you can’t get with a socket.
Congratulations well done so far.
great job. Hope you get a chance to work on it some more. Farming comes first
Great series. I love your tap and die
Good job Pete
Good morning.
Thanks for sharing. 🙌🙌🙏☝️👍
You got all of the cool tools! 😏😊
Ain’t nothing finer then a good sharp bastard file!..
Looking pretty good at this point
Congratulations on the new milestone!
Thanks Pete. You are a good man.
It is handy when your seal press will also work as an 11/16 socket in a pinch.
Ha ha!
Thanks Pete. Very nice work.
Hi Pete, really enjoying the MD restoration videos. Do you mind me asking what brand of ratchet spanners you use? Thanks and best wishes from England.
Been watching all along, very good video
Well, it may be frustrating to you, but I am enjoying the journey. Setbacks, they happen, but all I can say is that that engine looks really nice! Please keep going, I am eager to see it fire up for the first time after the total rebuild!
Nothing sexier then a fresh coat of engine paint
Awesome getting so close!!!
Doing a heck of a job! I use the same method for installing valve cover gaskets, seems to work like a charm! Is the valve lash setting specified cold or hot in the manual? I know on a gas M the valve lash is .017" hot. I usually set them to about .019" cold for initial start up.
TA DA! Can’t wait for the start.
Looks nice. Makes you feel good to clean painting machines. Then the first time you have to hit the mud hole. :0)
Looks sensational 👍
She’s looking great Pete!!
Awesome job, Pete!! That looks satisfying!
It looks great!
Easy way to clean treads after a bolt was cut off. file or grind from the bolt head side. it will remove most of the burs. The slight taper will also assist with setting the bolt.
Keep up the good work!
I love watching this project, it gave me an idea to start adding the 8n I’m doing to my channel
oh ...so pretty. good job. good things come to those who wait
Consider investing in some crowfoot or dog-bone adapters to torque tricky bolts.
Looks GREAT Pete!!!!
Looks awesome Pete been following this built and enjoy your channel a ton!!! you mite pick up a crows foot wrench to adapt your torque wrench if this is a problem you have frequently for those pesky tougher spots when torqued bolts are a issue. Great job pete!!!!
A good way to hold thrads is take a nut and cut it so there is a gap, and then when you squizze the nut in the vice it holds the thred
2 questions:what was the original reason for removing the pre-cups, and what do you use for paint (does it have hardener)?
Looking good
