Watching the farmers fix tractors as a kid is what started my road to mechanics and hot rodding. I grew up on a farm fixing tractors with stick/arc welders and oxygen acetylene cutting torch and hand tools bigger then my fist so watching this is comforting and enjoyable. Good job on the rebuild!
I can see Aaron is getting excited the coder to startup nice job guys
Hell yeah i want to see more tractor content. Tractors are cool. Keep up the good work you two
FYI, the front crank bearing/bushing bore has a chamfer on the inside to install the bushing from the inside with a bolt washer type tool to draw it into place. Also the rear crank bearing/bushing can be removed with a punch (drive on the center at an angle) install new bushing with a flat plate until flush.. Your welcome.
Tractors rock! Aaron, as a New York farm boy in the 1950s, John Deere and Farmall dominated the fields!
You keep mentioning the boat videos and how surprised you was about the response to them, it’s not the content, (cars, trucks, boats, tractors, or whatever), it’s the two of you and what you do together that is entertaining! I’d like to add its GREAT to see you Both in the shop, Aaron looks so happy to be able to get his hands dirty again!
Sweet find! I love watching y'all fix anything that's a machine.
Aaron is very lucky to have a helper like you. Awsome video.
simp
With these you don't have the problem of modern tractors and that is that everything is completely stuffed with electronics. Oh your tractor doesn't work anymore..... too bad we don't support the software anymore. Buth buth.....sorry your problem.
Variety is always good. Seeing each of you projects from beginning to end is very satisfying and educational. So thanks to both of you and keep up the good work.
All of your content is a joy to watch .just with you two working together makes it great keep up the great content and I'll keep watching
What Neal said!
Exactly...
this
Yes iv saw her on another car show before trying to be cute
@dockey6942 tring to be cute ? She doest have to try at all she a beautiful lady
A refreshingly fun episode. Not that the regular stuff isn't great, it was cool to see how simple the tractor engine was.
Just a suggestion: Use a copper hammer or a copper bar to knock in gears, bearings etc... so you don't scar or break things. It just gives it a little bit of cushioning. Copper hammers/ mallets - are easy to make... and you can make a copper bar out of about any copper laying around. Brass will work too - but I prefer copper myself. Great job by the way - thanks for sharing. I love this stuff - keep it coming.
Zinc works well too, work in a die shop and it doesn't chip as quick as brass or copper
Shouldn't them bearings rather be pressed in?
I was thinking of a dead blow hammer, yes copper or brass is also better than steel on steel. Also a bench press and a hydraulic press may come in handy.
Or use a plastic dead shot hammer.
I love this video. I am 50. My parents bought a farm when I was 13. The very first thing they bought was a brand new John Deere 650 to care for a small horse pasture. Love that tractor! Bush hog, snow blade, belly mower I wish I had the bucket. But at 13, what can you do? I do remember looking at the attachment brochure the dealership had often. Funny thing is, that was the first engine I have ever done service work on. By myself. I have been an engine builder for almost 30 years now. Thanks for the memories.
Great seeing Aaron working on the engine, the man just looked happy doing something he loves. Great video you guys!
Being a gearhead I enjoyed the heck out of this episode. Great job Aaron
I am enjoying the smiles, laughter and seeing you two work together. Well done!
Gentlemen pay attention to this woman. She is very very rare. She jumps right in to help. She is never in the way. Asks all the right questions. Is not afraid of getting dirty. She loves her man. He loves her. She is also one in 10million. I had a wife like this. She got cancer and had to go. I sure do miss her.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks. Brings back a lot of memories. When I was a little tike about 3-4 y/o, dad would let me ride with him on his JD tractor. I think it was a 1950 something model poppin' Johnnie! :) with tricycle style front wheels. He had a 2 row corn picker and picked a lot of corn for other farmers. I rode in the wagon and played in the corn. :)
Hey Emily and Aaron 👋, cool little build going on there. It’s good to see what’s going to work for content. But that lunch you had off the grill looked delicious 😋. But thanks for sharing and have a great week ahead 👍
Aaron is a very talent man, he tackles all these different projects with ease. I really enjoyed watching the tractor engine rebuild. Great job Aaron. Bill
The first flying sparks video i saw was the $5000 boat episode and I said who are these guys that can do this?? Now we have a tractor so you got me. It is so great to see Aaron at what looks like to me at full speed with his dry humor in full force!
The difference between a drinking person and a sober person is huge. The productivity of a sober person is off the charts no limits
Y'all Are Awesome Together! I'll Be Back Tomorrow👍
I love this kind of content when yall rebuild engines it just brings me so much joy that there are still people out there keeping trade alive . And watching arons face when he doing what he loves is just pure greatness ❤❤
Love the tractor content! But then again all of your content has been great. Thanks for keeping it real and unscripted. Life happens!
Good to see Aaron back in the swing of things. Not that watching Emily turn wrenches is a bad thing. Good to see you’ve recovered well. Look forward to hearing it run.
I watched the finishing vid yall made...so I had to watch from the beginning of this rebuild. Love watching a husband and wife team working on rebuilds and such. Awesome yall! Thanks for sharing and I'll be watching your future vids!!!
i grew up in a shop that fixed old tractors and farm machinery, and then later it was my first job. its been 15 years since i worked on a farm tractor probably, but i never lose interest in them.
It's all mechanical content, post it! I'm a retired diesel & heavy equipment mechanic myself with 35+ years in the business of mechanics, and this is an excellent tutorial on how to overhaul this little 2-banger diesel engine! Thank you guys for this video, and keep it all coming!
I wouldn’t worry much about that rear main bearing, I’ve seen far worse and they were running just fine. But I would advise that you invest in a lead hammer for assembly, reduces the likelihood of errant strikes causing any damage to the machined surfaces. Love all your content!
I agree 100%. Tools are the life blood of any shop, buy once and always have the right one forever !
It made me cringe everytime he got that hammer out, striking machined surfaces, gears, and driving that bearing in with a socket
Or brass ay least
A plastic dead blow has served me well for years, a steel hammer on motor parts was a huge nono in my shop.
I had to look away every time he picked up the hammer. But that's ok...an old tractor on a budget build. Please get a brass or dead blow though😮
I admire her attitude and participation.
I appreciate your ability to keep useful equipment alive again.
Keep on trucking 👍👍
Since I’m an old farm boy, yea, I’d love to see you working on a tractor, any part of it. Wish I had something like that on my property. 🤠
This is a fun build on that little tractor. I am anxious to see it running and working. I am a John Deere guy myself so this is really fun to watch. Take care guys.
With the empowerment and gracefulness of you helping your husband there is nothing that man can't do... Your a great helper!!!
what alot of people like seeing others who jump off and fix stuff, not just buy new shinny use and store. and the fact that yall both work together, not just 1 person and another videoing. if more folk did this simple work together and enjoy doing it. great channel
MORE TRACTORS!!!!!! My thanks to both of you for the great content of ALL types!
Watching tear down and reassembly is interesting. Great to see a skilled mechanic.
It’s fun watching you two work together and have fun. I don’t care what the project is.
The great thing about watching you guys is that you enjoy working and being together.
It seems that everything you do, no matter how difficult, you find a way to keep smiling.
Good to see you smiling again Aaron!
P.S. Is walking down a tool aisle and buying something you MIGHT need a bad thing? LOL!
I don't think it is the specific content that brings us all back, I think it is the literal joy that you show with every new project.
You two are doing it right. Not only are you saving money but you will know a lot more about the condition of your tractor.
I love seeing work done on older tractors.its a shame to see them just go to scrap
Ok so here's what I find absolutely amazing. Your wife is right there doing with you. Now that's refreshing to see.
Great timing. I am rebuilding a small JD lawn tractor. Engine done, now stripping rust , then paint. Finally just waiting on replacement parts from JD. All under 1k that would have cost 3500+.
Love it. John Deere's parts and manuals are great to help make it happen
Great to see the engine rebuild, as it doesn’t matter what it propels. I feel the nostalgia Aaron feels towards the tractor, and the times spent with his grandpa. I think if there was a question that bearing needed replacing, y’all would have taken it to a machine shop to have it removed…
Just found your channel. Impressive skills and entertaining banter between the two of you. It is always enjoyable to see anything with an engine brought back to usable condition.
Love the Luv. Brings back memories on my old red Luv with a rusted out frame, It was my first bought truck, and I was very naive when I bought that thing, but It took me home multiple times while I was in the military. God bless.
Can't wait to hear it run...I don't know about anyone else, but the content is sold by the vibe, you two make for good entertainment...I love to watch anything mechanical too, so keep it coming. Thank you for all the time involved, and all the content you bring, and you awesome personalities!!!
I love the tractor content! Taking something old thats not running and giving it life again is a great video you guys!
If it’s got an engine in it and I get to watch you two working together, I’m in. Plus tractors are cool. Especially older ones that are simple workhorses.
I for one am glad that you are doing the tractor work. I get tired of all the car rebuild stiff, so it is a nice break.. Keep up the great work.
You two and your adventures, whatever they might be, are just plain fun to follow!
Don't ever doubt these types of videos... a 2 cylinder diesel engine is rare enough... but to see you guys do this TOGETHER and then put the equipment to use is an excellent use of the channel (IMHO)... I'm sitting here worried that you won't show us the rest of the work on your tractor... and then you won't show us what you end up using it for. PLEASE keep this going for us. I love your channel... more for the types of people you are than for the content.
That is a Yanmar /john deere
Two things. 1. I'm glad you all are taking care of yourselves. Yall keep doing that and enjoy the cruise. 2. Your editor is killing it. Great job!!
So glad to see wrenches and ratchets being used for assembly, not impact drivers. Proof Aaron knows what he is doing. Just makes me cringe when the impact is used for assembly. Good job. And i like the tractor video. Make sure to show us some tractor work in the future too!
First timer here! Takes me back to the family farms during summers I spent there and was put to "work". All a blast for me growing up. Spent some time making pistons for John Deere. Demanded very close tolerance work and by golly John Deere sure checked the parts received, great quality control.

Any thing you guys take apart and repair is a learning experience for us to watch; I'm 83 years old and you two inspire me with your automotive ability. I recently bought a poor old 1955 Olds with a 324 c.in. engine that hasn't been started for 20 years today I changed the oil and will begin the process of starting it up using Aaron's and VGG's technique of starting an old engine. Take care and keep the vids coming I watch them all. Thanks for all your tutoring and mechanical knowledge.
I concur . ChiefD
I bought the same tractor last summer. 5 foot brush hog works. Harrow and fert spreader worked great to plant grass. I enjoyed watching you guys get into the guts of your tractor.
This is so cool to see you the two work on different kind of projects.
I have an aviation background. The John Deere Tractor Fix Hook me. I used to wrench 🔧 for a living; now I push perfectly good snow and now I mow (run) over grass. Ritchie from Ankeny Airport in Iowa
Enjoying the tractor content. It’s great to see Aaron wrenching away and his strength returning. I think it could be therapeutic for him too, diesel engines and a tractor similar to his childhood. Nice to see your pooch about too. OK, just got to the tacos part. Those looked amazing. Edit, now I see the chops. 😋
Never thought I would be enjoying tractor content, but that was great, and looking forward to part 2.
Great Job, Thanks for the lesson!
What a fun time,Keep up the good jobs,I love it. Thank you for showing.......
More tractors, please!
What a joy it is to watch a master mechanic do his dance! Thanks for filming this and I hope it’s loved enough that we get to see more tractor work!
Great video thanks for filming it for all of us to watch and learn how to do this type of things
Love when I came across this video... Seems like I saw a boat rebuild the two of you did a while back and it was cool. Glad to see a great deal on saving an old workhorse. Keep up the great vids.
I just enjoy all the content you share with us!! You guys are real and genuine and I do appreciate all the time and effort you put into your channel!! Keep up the fantastic work!
What a score on that tractor 🚜. Aaron hit the nail right on the head. Who wants to have $25,000 tied up in a machine you're really not going to use that much. I would love to have a machine like that around my yard and only have four thousand tied up in it.
You guys rock and you're both so fun to watch. I love all your content. The tractor content is awesome too. Nice to see Aaron showing his diesel mechanic skills. Can't wait for part 2!!!!!!!!!
Just subscribed. .love bringing old back to life..66 years old from indiana have a john deere..love anything mechanical.
Cool that the both of You are involved in every project 🙂
I think as long as its your project the content is great. Nice to see the innards of an engine and a few tips/tricks to go along with it.
I enjoy watching yall working on anything. It's the process that's interesting. Like how descriptive you guys are about everything.
Amazed to see such a small engine in a tractor,thanks for showing
Nice to see Arron so relaxed! Do the case too he’s a happy man! 😊
Glade to see Aaron is feeling better. Health is number 1. I love all the content you guy’s do. Anytime you can bring something back is great. Also I get to lean something every time. Thanks for all the content you show
I bought a JD 1025R new about 10 years ago for around 20K. With a bucket and hoe like mine they are selling for around 30K which is crazy. I absolutely love that little tractor it saves my back all the time! Keep doing the tractor videos they are very interesting.
run across your page today and enjoyed the relaxed way in which y'all share what you know. I'm quite fond of old mechanicals regardless of brand etc. I have a '68 JD 140 with a single hydraulic. I replaced the ruined motor with a 15hp knockoff and I am quite pleased with the fit. Keep up the work videos.
Excellent job - with the excellence of a tool and die man. Yes, absolutely I would like to see you build tractors and engines of all types. Nothing more rewarding to see them running "better" than new.
Aaron and Emily, I've always wanted to rebuild a tractor motor. I don't have the skills that Aaron has, but I could give it a shot one day anyway. Really enjoyed this video. Kinda fun. Thanks for Sharing!
Love tractors! It’s going to be so handy around the shop,especially with the loader bucket. So glad to see you both back at it. Look forward to seeing the tractor back in action.
Love it!! You guys could do most anything. It doesn’t matter. It’s your passion
I retired 2 years ago after working on John Deere tractor's, combine's and sprayers for 35 years. Working on this size tractor is a lot more enjoyable then working on the newer one for sure. You did a great job on this yanmar engine. Enjoy you tractor.
Phenomenal video. Aaron is in his element doing a diesel. He's like watching a potter working his clay. But to add some humor, did anyone else see Findley crawl out from under the house at 3:42? Watch over Emily's shoulder. 😂😂
I’m good with whatever you guys post on either channel, keep up the great work!
Can’t wait to hear the first start up and see y’all drive it around the yard!
Content is content! Variety is the spice of life, and variety in content, especially with more vehicles going diesel, is nice.
Love watching you two work together!
Thank, you both for you're video
Really enjoyed watching Aaron knock this out. I've been wrenching on cars my whole life but these diesel engines are a different animal. Very cool to really see his expertise in this one.
Great job !!! It’s amazing how small that engine is and can still do an amazing amount of work 🤠
love it , thank you , Tractors are my passion , I only have 4 John Deeres a Kubota and a Ford NAA800. But I am working on getting a few more tractors . I love the little Yorkie .
UA-cam is the best! Videos like this are so well done and I learn so much. Keep it up!
I love seeing different ways engine's are engineered. That center bearing was a first for me. Yes to more tractor vids. I'd love to see the case
Aaron I can relate to your love of this tractor. On a smaller scale I had an International Harvester Cub Cadet .I learned to Drive on it , Plow snow, Cut Grass,Dig , Carry Hay , Spread Horse Manure ,pull Cars , you name it. One Rebuild and two Short blocks. I did sell it 20 + years later and wish I didn't. I hope to find another one someday.
I have the Cub Cadet I learned to drive back in '69. My dad bought it to mow the grass on his property and I got it when he died. It's sitting in my garage, but the Craftsman tractor runs so much smoother and gets much better "mileage"! I even have the original manual!! I have too many tractors! I've got an old CAT D4 that needs a ring rear and reassembled (bought in partially taken apart). I sure would like to start on these projects, but I live next to thieves in Montana, and the law enforcement here is mediocre at its best; actually the corruption here is off the charts!!! My best friend id my side arm!!!!
Loved watching you both do this rebuild, as an old timer and engine guy the only thing I can advise you on is to reduce your metal on metal contact. Don't use steel hammers on steel parts, there are softer alternatives or use a piece of smooth hardwood between the hammer and the part.
I was saying that same thing. Get or make yourself a few brass hammers. You won't be using rat tail file's on deformed bearings again.
I have a 650 like this, it was handed down by my father and grandfather, the original owner. I love it, it does so much and demands so little! Mow, move dirt, dig holes, pick up engines, pull fence posts, drag logs, and it'll work for days on a few gallons of diesel. I'm so happy to see one getting restored. Now to watch the first start video!
Have to agree, tractor content is great to to watch as well. We have a 1961 B414 and always great to watch tractor fun.
Looking forward to see the fun you have with yours.
Great to see how well Aaron is doing. The arms look as if they are healing well and he looks happy to be back at work. It doesn't matter what you're working on if you are having fun! If it isn't fun, close the door and go do something else....it will be better tomorrow! Take care.
Well done! I own two of these tractors, a 650 like yours (4wd but no bucket) and a 750 (3cyl 4wd with bucket) and both are super capable, easy to work on, handy as all get out! If folks out there need parts for these Yanmar built John Deere’s, Hoye Tractor parts in Texas is a great source!
You two are my Rock Stars in so many ways, Always a pleasure to watch your contents. Keep it up in all your doing you two👍👍👍
