Find a product called Nickel Silver anti sieze. There are several brands. I use it on all external nuts and bolts. In twenty years when you take it apart you will thank me. Don’t get it on you. It spreads like wildfire! Especially good for mower parts, plow bolts, exhaust manifold bolts and most high heat applications. Good stuff. I worked in a high heat acid area in a refinery. Seen nuts and bolts so rusted that wrenches were useless. Put a pipe wrench and pliers on them and they would turn as long as they had this stuff on it. Stuff is amazing. Good videos.
Hey guys! Nice job... I had a IH 444 loved it. Motor good, trans good., draft control worked. Most of it was in good working order. But maintenance was a expensive and constant bear. The hydraulic pump rebuitl was about $800.00, the hydraulic filter was $300.00 used or 2x that new. I spent more time working on it than using it. After a few years of all that tinkering, I bought a new "orange" tractor. If money and time were not a factor, I would have kept it. But something small kept it from being useful most of the time. She pulled and was heavy, but blessed for the new one..🚜
Make sure to change the oil in that can, while it's out. Oh I see you discovered that. I would bet that the valve is just to block off that fitting. Someone used what they had on hand and it was a T, so they used one leg for the gauge and the other they had to plug, so they used that adapter and the ball valve to block it off. They probably didn't put a fitting there because it would plug up with dirt if only needed every 500 hours or they didn't want people over greasing it. Most people's use these days they may never put 500 hours on a Cub so not many people will talk about it. Most use them to cultivate smaller gardens. An hour here and there a few times a summer it would take years to get 500.
You make it looks so easy! :-) I tried changing the oil filter in my John Deere the other night, almost gave me a hernia. I had to abandon that little oil filter band wrench and grab something heavier... I ended up grabbing the 2' pipe wrench, and even then it would barely fit in there. The old filter was crushed, but it's off! -Jill
Danny, Im sorry for another comment, but I had good help with my old tractor, from Hoober in Ashland Virginia. I called them and they were very helpful. Another option may be contacting The Tractor Museum in Petersburg area, Va. Your mileage may vary...
Oh yea talking automotive I love my 04 Toyota Sequoia!! Compare it to the same era Chevy or Ford truck I have all kinds of room under the hood to work! No buried spark plugs. I can change Those in as fast as it takes to me to undo and remove the coil packs and pull and replace all 8 plugs. No extra time or reaching or crazy extensions.
Love watching this!
I love the videos of the tractor rebuild.

Brother you need a bench. You deserve it and you have the skill. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.❤️✝️
This was the hardest thing I had to do on the tractor.
This series of videos is going to be invaluable for anyone looking to totally restore one of these tractors.
Morning y’all
Congratulations on the belt removal, Danny. Your the only one who did it since 1940🤯
This city girl is going to be able to repair a Cub Farmall by the time this series is done. Too much fun

I love the simplicity of things built during that era, simple but yet durable and dependable!
Where I am from we call alemites, zerks. Great video as usual.
Man, that’s going to be one smooth working tractor. Amazing that you know so much about this tractor, Danny. ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Good morning Danny & Wanda! That thing is going to run sooo good when your done lol. Looking good!
If you’re radiator is low on water you could add some of your dehydrated/canned water. Just make sure you re-hydrate it first. 😉🙂
Lol
I really enjoy these videos. Thank you for taking the time to film and edit them.
Good morning that was a tough one today but you got it done 💪🛠️🔧

Well that’s a cliffhanger. 😆
More to come.
@@DeepSouthHomestead I’m sure. I’m just use to your usual closing and was caught off guard.
Danny, can you use some "link belts" on the 2 hubs?
One the hub was to wide. Belt was an unusual 11\16 inch wide.
Great tractor re-build, love seeing these machines being restored.
You really had to work at this one. Great job.
Dan u should cut the belt.
I still would have to put the new one back on.
Love watching each video. What a great tractor and you are making new again in every way.
Can you please tell me how to get the fan clear off the tractor,, doing a restore on a 48 cub
Get the torch out and cook that screw!
Why not cut the old belts to get them off?
Because you have to take if off to put the new belts back on.
Cut the old belt off, and once you do, it is OFF, and then put the new belt on. That is what we did with our worn cub belt.
@@1977islander The small belt would not fit around the fan. It had to go on from the back.
Bummer
Just cut old belts off
Still have to put the new ones back on. So why not just take it off. The new one won't go on unless you do.
