I worked at Chrysler Assembly plant in 66-67. When I started I was on the line and had to install those 3 prong hose clamps. They had regular pliers to put them on and it was a pain. I put the suggestion of a simple modification to the pliers. They did not think it necessary so I took a pair to the millwright shop and modified them. Both shifts liked the new pliers. Then the management decided they worked much better and modified pliers for everywhere they used the 3 prong flat hose clamps. I think I got a $50 bonus for a safer tool design. I got a $1,700 bonus for suggesting they use 1" masking tape to hold the body shims in place instead of 2" tape. They gave a 1/10 of the savings as a bonus.
In order to remove a squeezey clamp you need a squeezey tool 😂😂 I wish you lived near me. I would let you work on a blue tractor if you were willing. Glad to see you got the orange lady ready to work again.
Yes sir those are silicone hoses the same stuff that’s on the air to air cooler and turbo on the semi truck. And you have to use those high dollar special clamps because I tried using a regular hose clamp and it only took about a week and it cut the hose
Ross, nice that you got success on the orange tractor, now if your Oliver tractors will follow suit you will be really good shape. Like that will really happen 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks Michael
Great video Ross. Congratulations on getting the old orange parts swapped out. That surely makes a big difference. Tractor looks a lot better. Sounds great.
The orange silicone hose is the standard type used on aircraft. Whenever l change them out l keep the old ones and use them on my tractors, work great as carb intake hoses.
@@rosstheolivermanIt's because they deal well with high temps, exposure to oil, fuel, etc, and keep their integrity better than traditional black rubber hose. The fabric encased in the silicone is meta-aramid to add to heat and fire resistance. The industry name for them is hump hose, haven't heard of anyone being offended by it, but it's just a matter of time.
I am in the same place. I had a summer of successful projects and tried to squeeze one more in and failed. I punted it to an expert. I find myself going back through my thought processes. Did I get too cocky? Point is, it happens to all of us. But I’m itching to get back in the “win” column.
Lots of small time consuming improvements made a major difference!!! I've gotten in the habit of recording parts numbers in the "notes" page of operator manuals. The parts counter folks appreciate having a quick reference, especially if you phone ahead.
If you put the exhaust manifold bolts in and put the gaskets on and use rubber bands on the bolts to hold everything together while installing the manifold.
One day I was visiting a friend, his neighbor stopped by and asked if he still had his jackhammer ratchet. My friend ask what are you trying to do? He said take my lawn mower blades off. My friend said oh you mean impact wrench.
You may want to think about switching to bulk brake cleaner fluid, and use a sure shot type of rechargeable sprayer. The price of the spay cans has gone sky high the last few years. You use to be able to buy it on sale for under $2, but its at least double that now. HF has a Baur brand rechargeable spayer that seems to work well. The auto parts stores sell the fluid in 5 gal pails up to barrel size. But like the cans, theres a big difference in price. 5 gal pails are from $80 to over $200. But thats has way I'm going to go. You can buy a small pump that fits the bucket lid pour spout. HF has them also to fill the sprayer. As long as your near your air hose it should work well. You would still need cans otherwise for service calls. Another thought about the brake cleaner.....I use to buy the chorinated stuff. But one time I was welding on something that I had used it on, and was nearly overcome with fumes. At first I blamed it on the welding gas since i had just put on a fresh tank. But it turns out I think there was clorine residue that burned and created the gas. So I no longer buy any with it in. I enjoy your videos, and listening to all of your thoughts on any project you are working on! 😅
Can't say I agree or disagree with that statement, I've heard it many times before about once you go synthetic you can't switch back. Actually you can without having issues. 2005 Ford Escape was running full synthetic, switched it back to regular oil, haven't had any issues since the switch, in fact, fixed a few things going back. Problem with synthetic is, if you have any "leaks" it will pronounce them, in short, you'll have bigger leaks.
@@rosstheoliverman haven't experienced any oil consumption since switching back to conventional oil. I think it has a lot to do with, how badly worn the engine is
MF used to use those rubber seals on their lift pumps and associated pipework. Sometimes difficult to remove them if they did not come out with the pipes . Nice looking tractor , is the owner a collector ?
That is one sharp 200. I always loved how those turbo Allis tractors and combine would roll the coal.
They have a pretty good sound to them. The 301 is a great engine.

Job well done you know your job

That’s interesting! I wonder if it has to do with the higher altitudes?

Enjoyed the running commentary as you work. That is one of your many God given gifts.
Thank you John! I’m just amazed that people watch 🤣

Great job, your attention to detail with cleaning and touching up everything up you touch. I'm sure goes a long way with customer's.
Go ahead and drink on a school night, I think the kids would love Mister Ross's Wild Ride. 🤣🤣🤣
Parents probably would have a differing opinion
Another Ross for the win I believe the smoke screw has been twisted some lol nice tractor From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful
Probably lol. Thanks Earl!!
Those hose clamps have a hex-head for a socket on a small battery impact wrench.
I know, I thought of that while I was turning that screwdriver. It was almost worth going to get the mini impact.
Lots of small time consuming improvements made a major difference!!! I've gotten in the habit of recording parts numbers in the "notes" page of operator manuals. The parts counter folks appreciate having a quick reference, especially if you phone ahead.
Sure is a nice looking tractor. Sounds great also. 👨🔧🚜👍👍
that nice tractor good job done
Thanks Peter!
Great video as usual. See you soon in the next one.
Thanks Jonathan!
Mr. Ross nice job!!!
Excellent video again great job as always thanks for sharing
Thanks Terry!
Nice video. Allis sounds great.
I used to use a big channel locks to remove oil filters.
That probably worked better because they definitely didn’t give enough room to get the other thing between the frame and the filter.
@@rosstheoliverman they use to have a shorter filter or could get longer oil filter.
Good job on the Allis Ross
Thanks Stephen!
Great video Ross. Nice 200!
"but I've matured" Yeah, right. 😆
🤣🤣🤣
As you went through your inventory of what you got from AgCo, the old, bubble-gum pop song "Brand New Key" by Melanie went through my head.
Great job Ross, it sure does look a lot better, and sounds awesome
Good job 👍
Thanks 👍
So nice bud grate work as always
Nice work! Allis sure came out much nicer!
thanks for the video
Thanks Alan!
Sweet!!
I'm pretty sure I heard all of them green tractors growing at you when you left on that orange one.
We have a allis cambers 200
Diesel with a turbo
That thing sounds tough
Love it.
Nice one

Fixing more Agco stuff back to the orange.... that old lady is gonna be mad at you for making her turn that auger
Technically, even those "green" tractors are also Agco. :)
@@Ham68229 yes we know that green silver, yellow, red/silver grey, orange, Light Green, fendt green, what more can we pile on them
@@glennschlorf1285 now now, we can't forget Cat, don't want them getting upset. LOL Cheers :)
Where did you get the vibra-lock rubbers? Best deal I could find was through MSC online
Local injection pump shop. I think they were $.50 each.
@@rosstheoliverman that's about a buck fiddy cheaper than MSC. I'll check with my local shop.

Schaeffer's makes the best penetrating spray ive ever used. Pricey but good.SEE
