You have a gift: the ability to explain details to those who do understand, and the ability to keep those of us who don't understand curious and wanting more! You are a teacher, Pete. 👏🏻😊👍🏻
He sure is, that’s a Gift! 100%
He would have been a cool shop class teacher
True
Hi Pete, as an engineer, what’s fascinate me is the complexity of those mechanisms and that all these was think and design in 3D by hand, without computers. I learned in engineering school near 40 years ago how to draw parts in 3D manually and it’s not that easy. Again, it’s fascinating how you can unmount and re mount all those parts. I have no knowledge on farming but thanks for sharing your way of life, your thought and your passion.
I learned to be a draftsman when in the early 80s it was on a drafting table with a pencil ! I still use it today for parts i machine i find it easier and quicker than a computer!
Pete, you do an excellent job of illustrating the parts and components, their uses and abuses. Being a Farmall owner, I understand the slop that you are dealing with, and may need to invest and engage in a repair of my own. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I truly enjoy your videos.
I like how you don’t zip everything apart like a mad man and treat every piece with care 👍💯🚒
I'm not a tractor restorer, but the knowledge I get from watching you diagnose these systems helps to look at systems with an eye for seeing what things shouldn't be doing. These videos are better than many classes I have sat through.
Pete I am not a farmer don’t own a tractor but I still enjoy your videos. 🐖🐂🚜
Pete I was in the automotive service industry for 35 years, now retired. So many people look down on technicians and think their just dumb mechanics. I found them to be some of the smartest people I've ever met and you prove in your videos how intelligent one needs to be to do so. Just watching you proves what it takes to really work on equipment. Thanks for all you do I find it fascinating.
Hey Pete thank you for doing these videos. You've inspired me to not be afraid to try and fix things myself as we have fun on our hobby farm. I bought a simple deere bar rake to use that needs restored and you've really given me a great view of how to do things right, so thank you for that.
My doctor once told me that a human body is like a vehicle. If you have a 50 year old vehicle, things get worn out, and some things have to be adjusted, or replaced. A simple fact life, for both men and machine! Always happy to watch your videos, no matter the subject Pete. I feel right at home with them, as It makes me feel like home.😊
Morning Pete, I watch you first thing in the morning and the first thought that comes to me is contentment. I’m 64 with 24 surgeries behind me and another one coming up , thank you for centering me and starting my day off right.
Hi Bruce, thank you. Best of luck to you.
Watching you work on that 756 the last few videos has made me tremendously grateful. I’m so happy that I have John Deere 20 series tractors.
Good work Pete. Hard to believe you can still get parts for these old girls.
You had my full attension today, I enjoy how you take things apart and show the diagrams, thanks Pete.
Just think, someone way back when, sat down and thought up how to make that all work together. Amazing!
Very entertaining! Wow, a can of worms is putting it lightly. Ha! Amazing parts are still available. Thanks!
I'll probably never do this myself, but I do enjoy watching the process and seeing how everything works, so thank you for filming it all. I also think it's tremendously valuable to have it all out there as a resource for folks! Great job, and I can't wait for the first test drive!
One of MANY reasons I find you enjoyable to watch & listen to;
" Come outta there. I'm trying to help you."
Love that this tractor is my age! Dang we used to build things to last. Saddens me that so many new machines don’t have the same longevity, we really went for the wrong goal there…
Enjoy these videos so much. Your methodical approach speaks to how my mind works.
Sounds like you have a bit of a head cold, take care.
Pete.... thank you for another very informative video. Nothing could be better than having a morning coffee while watching you fix one of your tractors. You sound like you might have a cold. Feel better.
Nothing like chasing down a classic case of tolerance stacking. You do it very well, makes me think you've probably done this before, once or twice. Thanks for the content, enjoy your day!
Good morning, have a great day !
Another great tutorial Pete. I'm sure there are many tractor owners not just Farmall owners who got a lot of good info on that video about what and how to do things when it comes to "slop". if nothing else a reminder they need to look at theirs also! and it can also serve as an inspiration to do theirs. AND! YES!! it was very Entertaining! as always. I always get so much joy from watching all of your videos thanks for doing them. God speed. ECF
I like all your videos. Animals, tractor work, market.. it is all part of "job" as a farmer. Also, hope you feel well, kinda sounded under the weather
You asked us why we watch your videos. Well, I'm roughly the same age as you. Born in '64 Starting at the age of 6, I stood in my backyard watching a farmer plow, plant, bale and chop. Since he was a family friend, he asked my parents if I could ride with him whenever he was in the field working. My parents said yes. I still remember the sweet sound of the IH966 hydro. When I turned 12-13 I starting working on the farm. Unloading hay wagons or just riding along to hookup and unhook wagon, I enjoyed every minute. I stopped working on the farm a year or two before I went to college for engineering. I still visit the farm a couple times a year. Walk through the milk house and barn remembering all the special times of my childhood. Working in IT, I would love to have a hobby farm. (Definitely smaller version of what you have) I know its hard work, but I grew up with hard work and enjoy it. So I guess my reason of watching your youtube channel is the range of tractor work, to mechanical work and livestock. I enjoy and maybe envy your lifestyle.
Nothing like getting the day started with a cup of coffe and a video from Pete, it's gonna be a good day!
Looks like some projects for dad and his machinist friends.
Thanks for the video.
Absolutely love it Pete! Keep up the great work. You're doing a fantastic job!
Pete another wonderful video! Thank you
I am a mechanic, you are very gifted, both executing and explaining everything. Great job 💪
Top of the morning to you all!
Another enjoyable video Pete.
The more you look, the more you see, after a while I stop looking, haha. Thanks!
Suggestion: Check into getting a parking brake paw spring that is on an 86 series tractor. It has a heavy duty spring inside the transmission vs a spring on the linkage that you are looking to get. It is an easy upgrade for safety and reliability. The spring on the linkage is weak and they fixed it on the 86 series. It is an easy upgrade on your 756 as we did it to both our 856 and 1066. It also doesn’t need adjusting as the parking brake handle will work in to opposite direction. The linkage won’t need to hold the paw in the park position as the heavy spring does the work. Instead the linkage works to hold the paw out of the park position. Just a thought. Have a good day.
Hi Ryan, that was my first solution too. I went looking for an 86 series park pawl and couldn't find any for sale online.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm 64578C91 Lever Assy, Park Lock from Bates Corporation. Thanks Pete for you quality content. You have an excellent channel. We had an incident with the weaker park brake design and luckily no one was hurt. It was even adjusted properly. I just try to suggest the upgrade when I can so that people are aware. Have a great day!
Thank you Ryan, I guess I should order it, despite the steep price.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm I didn't think it was that expensive when I suggested it but it has been a few years too. I just want you to have the option is all. We had a load behind the tractor and it was on a hill so we were at fault also. Whatever you chose, I hope you have a great day.
Omgosssh ! It's great to be back enjoying your videos Pete! We've been without cable or internet from an ice storm in Michigan Feb 21st and it's our first day back to catch up with all that we have missed ! Talk about being addicted to something ! 🤣 my husband and I were biting at the bit to get reconnected and back on utube ! Pete you are an amazing teacher for those that understand what you are talking about and girls like me that know a little from our previous experiences helping our husband's with their tractors... and even those that don't know anything ...my little granddaughter stays focused listening to you and she's only 3 yrs old ! Your special calming demeanor keeps our interest whatever you're presenting each time you share a video. You're vast knowledge and experience shines through by your thorough descriptions and explanations! They are magnificent ! I thank you Pete and Hilarie along with her faithful helpful hands and winning smile...she a sweetheart ! God bless y'all ! 🐽
Thank you Charlene, nice to have you back!
You sound like you have a cold. I hope you feel better soon Pete
"You're not a Prybar; now THAT'S a Prybar"!,... great Croc-Dundee reference! Still chuckling on that! Great video (as they all are). Love the variety of content you & your family impart to make these happen.
Pete, you are an amazing mechanic. You can tell you are used to IH. I have learned in my lifetime that every manufacturer has a way of building their equipment. Either car companys or farm tractors. You are very enjoyable in all of your videos.
Man, you're good at this. Can't wait to see the finished product
Hello lots of wear that happens. Today is our anniversary 43 years. Have a great day.
Happy Anniversary, have a blessed day!
Congratulations James! That is something to be proud of.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm Thankyou
@@alisciamarotta3888 Thankyou
Pete excellent video as always hope your not getting sick on us you sound congested
Yes, I heard that too. Vitamin C, zinc and liquids Mr. Pete!
Perfect video for the day! I just started disassembling the worn out throttle linkage on my John Deere 1520 (wrong color for this channel I know). Thank you for all of the great content, no matter what the video topic is.
Pete, I like it when you open a big can of worms. We get educated by you. Thanks
That’s a lot of moving parts. A few bushings and a couple shims it’ll be good for another 54 years. Nice video Pete.
If only I had use for this well documented journey... I know I would value it more than the usful entertainment value I get as a lamen.
love the contribution.
-Travis
video was very good, keep it up Pete .
Great teaching AND learning, Pete. You taught and I learned. Thank you.
I don't need to know any of this stuff. Do I need to keep watching? I do. I do!
Yup. This is a little different but definitely relatable. Pricing a timber frame job I can spend days and days looking through architects and engineers drawings and every time I look I find something new I'd missed before.
Great job on the filming, the exploration, the teaching and the getting it done. Peace, Mark
Another great video. All the best 🇬🇧.
Aw just a little fiddley problem that when finished will bring great joy 👍👍
I love watching that cotter pin enter a low earth orbit, glad to know its not just me they're allergic to :)
Interesting video Pete. Depends on what all you decide to replace. The satisfaction you get while shifting will be outstanding. 👍👍
Enjoyed the latest video! Good to see the shop light I sent you helping out too! I hope you find it handy. Keep up the good work Pete!
Good morning Pete.
Those IH Farmall's seem kind of simple after taking a closer look at the 756. Keep on smiling.
Good morning Pete 👍👍
I really like that you're sharing the 756 work on video with us.
One of the first things you learn as an investigative engineer is error/accuracy stack up. It has always amazed me how a little wear in each piece of a large assembly can induce major slot with the mechanism or cause it to be too tight to work. A little here and a little there can be a whole lot at the end, as you have so well shown. Hope those parts aren't too dear...have a great day, looking forward to next time.
Thanks Pete Great Video!!👍👍
It was definitely informative, I had no idea how many parts were involved in the shifter and linkage. When you open a can of worms, you really get a big can, lol.
always a good day when pete uploads a new video 🎉
Another great video! Thanks for sharing!
Easy stuff to fix! Redid my 1066 and 856 when I purchased them.
Hi Pete. My 1930 Ford has mechanical brakes. Links, clevises, rods, cams, and levers (solid steel from pedal to wheel as Henry F used to say!) The summation of the slop from wear was similar. You can weld up and re-drill, or drill to accomodate next size clevis. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase new clevis ends and fittings and go back with new original factory size clevis pins.
No welding needed. You might not be as lucky. Good job Sir. You will prevail! Chuck in Florida.
Chuck in Florida.
It was informative and entertaining, great stuff 👍
Great video Pete, really enjoy the tutorials…. Looking forward to this lady getting cleaned up….
I like how you explain how everything works these are very good learning videos on repairing an maintaning your farm equipment . Thankyou for sharing.
Hope you feel better soon, Pete!
Sounds like you have a bit of a cold. Hope you feel better soon. Love the 756 videos. Keep up the great work!
Our 756 and 826 had that same shifting issue, i guess our 986 had that too, to complex a shifting mechanism. to many moving parts to ware out but i loved those tractors!
Our is a little loose but not as bad as yours. We got our 856 in 1968 and the 1066 in 1974 and they are both a little loose but it still shifts easy. The 856 has over 6000 hours on it and the 1066 has over 4000 but they have done much work and they are very reliable tractors. I was driving the 856 when I was 14 years old and it still runs great today.
Even though I’ll never remember how to do it all, I still watch because it brings me peace……..
Great video Pete! Yeah that shifter she pretty worn. But you will get it all fixed up!
Good morning Pete!
Perhaps some of the oblong holes can be built up with brazing material and then machined back to spec? We used to do this with parts on our garden tractors and go-karts. It worked! Brazing (as you are aware) uses less heat than welding and yet puts down a pretty durable surface, easier to machine (or file).
This is so much fun following your can of worms . You’re such a great teacher! Thanks again for our winter entertainment
The 756 is going to be one mean machine pete thanks to your patience and dedicated work thanks for sharing great video
Pete,ya need the updated park lock spring that goes on that pawl shaft between the roll pins. Makes park safer. Especially with baler etc,or new york hills
It's a good thing you own that tracto. If I got it at that stage it would probably never run again. I'm terrible at those little things.
Thank you for the video
wow part's glore thank's for the video Pete and good luck
Interesting. You'll have the entire fleet ready to work by spring.
thanks so very much for the video and explaining the part system. have a great day.
Thanks, Pete. That's technical!
17:58 I am in the middle of this same repair. Getting this part out was not as easy as Pete’s. I had to hammer the gear selector rod out to the drivers side. Then use a punch from the drivers side to hammer this part out. Took about an hour of beating on it.
I have been watching a couple of farm channels where the full time or part-time farmer is working with old equipment. You are by far the most organized and knowledgeable.
Loving this series!
That’s not a pry bar. THIS is a pry bar! 😂😂😂
Always entertaining and informative. Thank you.
Thanks for the video Pete 👍
Seeing how. The shift linkage works is fascinating!
Hey Pete, hopefully You didn’t forget about the 10 year aniverasry of you’re farm! You started it in 2013 right?
Greets from the Netherlands!🇳🇱
Hi Martijn, that's right! I mentioned it in a video a few weeks ago.
"The more I look the more I see" I was told to stop looking when it gets too expensive.😁
This video was informative and entertaining. Thank you Pete. 👍
Excellent video Pete ;) yes sure information and entertainment to also teaching about T/A more to plus helpfull !
Hope you’re having a good day buddy thanks for sharing
I live on a farm. We also have older equipment. No computers. It amazes me that you are still able to get 54-year-old tractor parts. I know they are expensive. But not compared to new equipment. I have 2 Kubota and a little john deere tractor
. It's hard to get a parts manual. As 'they' don't want you to tell them what you need. One time I went to a Massey dealer and said my 1965 -165 wouldn't start. He advised a service call to get the codes from the computer. Haha
thank you Pete
Now that you have that fixed, it would be great to see a new restoration on the 756
You can get a after market shifter kit for the 3 collars and the hollow pin I got mine from a&I parts as for the shifting pipe and shaft that go down to the Faward, reverse linkages their is bushings in the outer pipe kind of pricey but they are usually worn pretty good
What is great is you know where to look. I am not worried about you finding the problem and you resolving it. Thank goodness you have the time to handle this. Enjoyable for me Pete, thanks for including us.
