That was monumental work. Congratulations 🏆 35 minutes to show months and thousands if dollars worth of work. " Bob's yet Uncle" indeed ! Watching all your vids from Hillsboro NH. 73 year old retired master technician with Mercedes Benz and BMW.👍👍
It's nice to see a young man so enthusiastic about bringing old equipment back to life. Keep up the great work! I look forward to your updates on this build.
Andrew, Am so glad that I found your videos. They are so enjoyable. I can't get enough of watching you. You never swear in any of the ones I've watched. I have high respect for you young man !! Keep up the great work ! One other thing, your young right now, get help when lifting heavy items. Don't mess your back up. Don't end up like me. Please ! Sincerely, Jim.
I feel for you my friend. I bought a basket case 1939 B about 7 years ago now and just in the last year (2021) I really made an effort to complete an almost total restoration of it. I am now in the seven to eight thousand dollar range and I have yet to drive it. I figure I will have a total of around nine thousand dollars in it. Two thousand in just the engine. I am into it to the point I could never sell it for what I have in it so I must finish it. Good luck with yours...
thanks. You'r right, it is not economical to restore and sell these tractors. I probably should have parted this one out. But is obviously too late. I still need to find a set of tires for it.
Great job young man FYI and you already probably know this the fly wheel has a timing mark on it let her stamp V in addition to be in the timing of the engine it is the counterweight for the crankshaft the opposite side of the crankshaft where the clutch is attaches also has a ladder stand V and it is a counter weight for the crankshaft just thought I’d throw that in there he did a great job
I suggest buying a service manual on eBay or probably Amazon. For parts Steiner has pretty much all you need. If you need cheaper used parts Rusty Acres Ranch (vintagetractors.com) parts out a lot of B’s.
I would love to have a farm to use them! I do drive them down the street, go to tractor pulls, and local parades. I sold a Farmall C that is being used in Guatamala now.
The trick when using silicone is to tighten down until you are lightly touching the silicone with the entire surface and let it cure for at least a few hours preferably a day then tighten down to spec (recommended torque)
@@thesmallenginekid thank you I am restoring a John Deere 620 and I need some help on what to do to prepare the tractor for prime and paint. Thank you for responding, I tried contacting you on your TikTok, yeah thank you.

I'm an old man now, x farmer and so pleased to see the younger generation taking up this work. People like this go to make a great country.

How did you learn to work on old farm equipment? Curious minds would like to know 😊
What do you do with the tractors after fixing
I would love to have a farm to use them! I do drive them down the street, go to tractor pulls, and local parades. I sold a Farmall C that is being used in Guatamala now.
Did you ever get the chance to upload the part 2 ?
Amazing job, found you on Tik Tok and love your work, it's great to see such work ethic, where did you get it from ?

You’re destined to be a mechanic 😅
Can you make a video on how you prep the tractor for paint ?
Yes. Part 2 of this tractor will cover sheet metal work, paint and reassembly.

We'll only human, we all make mistakes.

See you got a roller matic
Never seen many jd bs with roller matic on the front. And the roller matic was not john deer is was designed by a man name Elie Williams
And I thought the one me and my buddy were fixin was bad
Reupload the chainsaw video! Or else...
Repairs and paint does not make a restoration!
Nice rebuild though!
Torque to spec, really you did 👏👏
