Happily married man here but I just have to say you are such a cutie and it is a pleasure to watch how capable and knowlegable you are at tractor repair and maintenance. Your dad must be the proudest father on all of planet earth. It is such a blessing that you and him have done all this together. I worked with my dad for 20 years in the car business and it was the greatest time of my life. Now that he is gone I have lost that wonderful joy spending all those years with him. Never take a moment of these years for granted and have him with you in every video you can so you'll have hours and hours of him on video. I'll be ordering parts for my 8n I just got running since I bought it 6 years ago shortly after my father passed away. Thanks to your fabulous videos I've started to feel the urge to work on machines again. I love strong women such as my mom and my wife so watchine you work is a pleasure. Great videos , keep up the good work. 👍👍💪🚜
I love old tractors. I don’t have any. When I was a kid I used to work for a dairy farmer for free . My Father loaned me out .....and in return we received free whole milk and some excavation services. I learned about work , and farm family life. .....and of course...I got to operate tractors. This young lady reminds me so much of those earlier times. Ambitious, bright...cut from the family fiber that knows no boundaries......they built the Sherman tanks , B-24 bombers, and repaired / rebuilt the Navy during WW I I . Clearly, a good speaker and teacher.....well done ! Excellent
Great video, In my opinion, Most people do not realize the amount of effort and skill it takes to put a video like yours together. Cameras, Lighting, Audio, Synchronization , Plus putting all those clips together in post. A ton of work. A completely different skill set. It might have took longer to produce the video than to rebuild the engine. Bravo. great job on both. You have a new subscriber.
Finally a channel that deals with what is my equipment sheds. A nice coherent explanation of what to do without "he haw" antics and using tools that the average person actually might have....or at least afford. Yes I noticed she is an attractive woman, but there is no shortage of them on UA-cam....but there is a shortage of folks offering tutorials of this high quality.
Very good I was in the trads for forty three years. you are one the best I seen . Most of the guys have a hammer in one hand and a screwdriver in the other beating and praying on the parts . I like that you taped all the holes. Most hakes do not under stand that the threads have to be clean to get the right torque along with new bolts. Keep up the good work.
John Downward We used to use freon or co2 in a can ,rigged up a spray nozzle , didn't have on flat rate rebuilding diesels, w two shifts we used to do a Cummins in one day.
Rachel wow, what a pleasure to see you it has been a few years. You are so skilled with your abilities amazing. Stay safe and keep doing these videos. That Lil Cub is almost as beautiful as you are.
If anyone is wondering how the power poistons get installed into the engine. I was told the raised bump goes towards the valves. With the arrow pointing to the front of the tractor. Super excited to have ours all out together. Great video gave me the confidence to redo our cub.
I live in the city and you still make me want to go shopping for a cub to work on. Wow. Maybe I can plow the sidewalks. Great job on the "freshen up" video.
Definitely my first choice to watch! Smart young lady. I don't know where she studied or how she learn, but I am highly impressed! Beautiful job explaining. Thanks
My Granddaddy taught me as a kid helping him in his garage to put rubber hose over the threads before tapping pistons out. This prevents scratching the crankshaft.
wow Rachel you sure have great skills. It's rare to see a female doing mechanical repairs. You also know how to video your work with a great presentation.
Beautiful tractor and gorgeous mechanic,watching Rachel messing with those spark plug wires reminds me of the first time i did a plug job when i was 12 years old in the early 80s, i had a 1957 Toyota land cruiser and i grew up in a farm so i would use it to cruise around to the lake and go fishing , hunting etc. My dad bought me the plugs and new wires,first of i didn't gap them, second, i pulled all the wires off and never labeled or made any diagram whatsoever, man, once it came time to turn it on it was bucking and jumping like a bull at a rodeo,lol, my dad said "did you put those wires were they were before???" i told him i didn't know i had to,i just kinda guess where they went, ha ha ha ha
It's been a while since I've seen a video of yours, and they were always great, but you look so much more comfortable and confident in front of the camera in this one. Thanks for posting it, I always learn something new every video.
Boy that brought back old memories. I still have one in the barn. It's been there for about 35 years. We used it to plant our 3 gardens. We had middle busters & sweep plows. It only has about 10 HP. I remember when I was about 6-7 years old I had to drive it while my parents walked beside the tractor pulling a trailer as we hand picked corn. Your tractor is in great shape. I just wonder how much it would cost to have one brought back to show room shape? Thanks for your talent in showing us the work you did. There aren't many young ladies that has your talent and ability.
Great video Rachel! I think I might buy and restore another Farmall Cub when I retire in a couple of years. I miss my old one. Best use of a zip-tie ever!
Wow, I haven't seen you do a video in a while. This was a great one. I've got to rebuild what was my dad's cub and put a clutch and pressure plate in it too. So happy to see you working on some tractors again. Pass along our thanks and love to the family. Can't wait to see your next video.
Rachel, you made that look easy. I've always liked rebuilding engines and the satisfaction of hearing them fire up when you're done. Nice video, not "too much" detail. One word of advice, when you remove and reinstall the pistons, I like to put a piece of rubber fuel line on the rod bolts so I don't nick the crankshaft. When I'm ready to rebuild my '46 Ford 2N I'll check your website for parts and advice that I may need.
Just finished this job on my 65 Loboy. Great video - could not, would not have done the job without it. The parts from your store worked great! Could not have asked for more. Thank you, Rachel. (And Dan!)
I really enjoyed your video. Well done! We had a Farmall Cub when I was growing up. It had a complete set of accessories for it; mower, blade, plow, harrow, disc, etc. I learned to drive on it and I also learned a lot of basic mechanics on it. I had no idea you could actually get high performance pistons for them. Wow! What I really like about old tractors is they seem to last forever; they don't rust out and they are low tech, basic mechanicals.
A great idea. My first job operating a tractor on our farm was cultivating with a Cub tractor. I am looking for one one for nostaglia. Also it is great to see a young woman so knowledgeable and performing the work.
wow just watched it. im a 39 year mechanic an nice job Maam. i will not critique this much at all as well was nicely done. i will say when installing pistons i put fuel hose ove the rod bolts to keep from maring the crank but im impressed!!! oh and one more thing, sorry dont use extensions when torquing bolts!
I followed your tutorial exactly (except I had to grind the valve seats) and it went perfectly! This is one of the most valuable videos I've used, and I've used a lot! Thanks, Rachel. My little LoBoy is purring like a kitten, and starting as never before.
Hi from Finistère - Brittany ; thanks for your video . The one I bought two years ago is a IH D217 (end of 1957 ) ; so a little different from the CUB as it is 2 cylinders diesel , but you gave good informations here ; thanks again .
Always enjoy the video. One of my earliest childhood memories. Is riding with Dad on his Cub. Cutting the yard. Going under the apple tree. Grabbing a apple off. 😆
Great job,there are so few young people in agriculture so please dont miss out on any steps,the more details,the better.The video is flawless except for some skipped steps. Anyways keep up the good work.
Great, great, great! Sorry, my English is bad but I just wanted to give you all possible cred for your professionally made vido. First of all, you went right to work and skipped the 30 min babbeling that is so common in the beginning of theese kind of videos. I have heared so many like " I was born 1975 and I purchased my first tractor 1987 because I live on a farm. I like to work on my tractor better then going to school so I got bad grades in maths and history. Now I decided to make this video because I got a camera for Christmas. I'm not a good filmer and I'm just going to put the camera on top of a box so it might be hard for you to see anything, but anyway, today I'm going to show you guys how to change an oilfilter on my tractor...
And adding the new part date installed also helps with keeping up maintainance records and replacement intervals for wearable items like valve guides seals valve seats and rings bearings and pistons and sleeves ,clutch pressure plates and governor parts and carb rebuild dates too once it's done record it and pass it along when you sell it or keep it with the unit.
Great video and very informative thanks, also your video on the massy gov repair was very handy especially the correction where the book was wrong about the torque
The only person I know that can do the work and give detailed information at the same time. I don't think any man can do that. By the way, on cars and trucks, we usually replace the oil pump even when doing a light rebuild since the pan is already off and it made decent oil pressure any way. Is that a good rule of thumb for tractors as well to just go ahead and install a new oil pump?
My grandfather owned one. He used it mainly for cultivating and running a single disc harrow to make field drainage ditches. He also owned a (I think '53 ) Ferguson that he used mainly for disc harrowing and for pulling a sled for transporting bags of fertilizer out to a field and for potatoe harvest. Everything else he used a mule for planting corn.
I love your little Cub I just got a little Yard and garden 449 cub. I need to finish painting it. But my wife made me paint the house first so I never got it finished last summer.
Great video, make sure when you’re using an extension that long that you’re adjusting the torque accordingly. An extension that long will cause torque loss.
When doing engines with heads held on by bolts, I use two or three guide bolts to keep gasket and head in alignment for other bolts. Guide bolts are grade 8 bolts with the heads cut of and tapper the end for a clean start.
Very informative. Any possibility of doin a front crank seal on a Cub? Seems to be much debate on the method and tools required to pull the pully off the shaft. Thanks .
All I did to get the front pulley off was heated it up and pryed it off with two pry bars either side, I dunno why it’s so controversial, to put it back on i heated it up again and stuck it on with my gloved hand.

WHY you are NOT an instructor at the US Naval Academy is BEYOND me.
Clear, concise, knowledgeable.
The WORLD is waiting for you...

The best looking tractor mechanic I've ever seen, with so much knowledge too.
You are a natural at tutoring . Love the cable tie idea to pull back your hair at 4:02 .

You are a great presenter, and make things easy to understand for the novice.
The freezer trick I learned from my AG teacher in the 60s in High School. I've been passing it on ever since. Never had videos back then. Thanks !!!!!
John Downward We used to use freon or co2 in a can ,rigged up a spray nozzle , didn't have on flat rate rebuilding diesels, w two shifts we used to do a Cummins in one day.
Becky Watt my lord don’t remind me of those garbage engines 🤮
You have got to be the cleanest mechanic I've ever seen!.
Rachel wow, what a pleasure to see you it has been a few years.
You are so skilled with your abilities amazing.
Stay safe and keep doing these videos.
That Lil Cub is almost as beautiful as you are.

I bought her carb rebuild kit - best one I've ever seen. Everything you could think of and a few things you couldn't was included. Highly recommend.
Great vid. Good to see younger women getting involved. You're a dying breed.
Definitely my first choice to watch! Smart young lady. I don't know where she studied or how she learn, but I am highly impressed! Beautiful job explaining. Thanks
By far the best and most complete video, and Rachel is a very experienced mechanic! Excellent tutorial!
My Granddaddy taught me as a kid helping him in his garage to put rubber hose over the threads before tapping pistons out. This prevents scratching the crankshaft.
And the reverse.
wow Rachel you sure have great skills. It's rare to see a female doing mechanical repairs. You also know how to video your work with a great presentation.

Nice job lady! So verbally poised and unlike so many tutorials, well thought out and highly informative.
Rachel is the most beautiful mechanic that I have ever seen, she is a one off!
Boy that brought back old memories. I still have one in the barn. It's been there for about 35 years.

That's an old mechanic's trick and a very wise one too.
A girl and her tractor,,,,,, it is a beautiful thing!! Your Daddy taught you well !!
I’m basically in love now. And I need some help on my Palmer 60.
Maybe her mom taught her.
That Lovely young lady makes her dad so proud I am sure of it. Great Vid keep up the wonderful work .
I just love watching someone work on old iron who is also so articulate in explaining things. Rachel, when are you going to do a dozer?
Explained in easy to understand steps.Great job with the video.
Great tutorial ! I learned to drive on a Cub when I was 7 years old Many years ago.
Just purchased my first cub. Thanks for the videos
Great job Dan and Rachel, It''s good to see someone who knows what there doing. And executes it well..Keep up the good work.

Love this - just dragged the old 1962 cub out of the shed for summer project. Will be getting parts from you 👍
We just picked up a farmall cub. Excellent video!! Our tractor smokes a little. But I want to play with it a while before doing any work to it.
I followed your tutorial exactly (except I had to grind the valve seats) and it went perfectly! This is one of the most valuable videos I've used, and I've used a lot! Thanks, Rachel. My little LoBoy is purring like a kitten, and starting as never before.
Great job girl. Made me miss my old farmal " B " that was a working machine. May god bless.
one of these days I'll get around to getting our cub going again ... some day. Thank you for the video, very well done!
Hi from Finistère - Brittany ; thanks for your video . The one I bought two years ago is a IH D217 (end of 1957 ) ; so a little different from the CUB as it is 2 cylinders diesel , but you gave good informations here ; thanks again .

I don’t have a tractor. But I have watched all of your cub videos 😏
That’s the cleanest mechanic I’ve ever seen.
Makes me want to buy a cub to restore...Great Job!
Great video. Always like to see someone explain things this thoroughly.
Old school mechanic,CUTIE I love it!!!!!!!
Great job,there are so few young people in agriculture so please dont miss out on any steps,the more details,the better.The video is flawless except for some skipped steps. Anyways keep up the good work.
Wow! What a lady!! Amazing mechanical skills and very informative!! Thank you ❤️
Rachel, you are something special. Thanks for the video.
Greatest how to video EVER!!!!!
The production of this video is very, very good.
Rachel you are a very skilled girl by the agricultural machines!
Great, great, great! Sorry, my English is bad but I just wanted to give you all possible cred for your professionally made vido.

Great video and very informative thanks, also your video on the massy gov repair was very handy especially the correction where the book was wrong about the torque
That is awesome, mechanics should be proud, neat and clean job, excellent, congratulations
The new intro is great. Nice job on the camera work. Looks great!
Hermoso video . Nosotros tuvimos, un John Deere 2730, lo sigo amando. Un abrazo Grande, desde Argentina.
Your dad has taught you well. Good job.

she is following the cue cards
I always wanted a Farmall cub
Nice work and great tip's on the Farmall Cub " In Frame " overhaul !
My grandfather owned one. He used it mainly for cultivating and running a single disc harrow to make field drainage ditches. He also owned a (I think '53 ) Ferguson that he used mainly for disc harrowing and for pulling a sled for transporting bags of fertilizer out to a field and for potatoe harvest. Everything else he used a mule for planting corn.
Great video! I farmed with an M as a boy in the 50s and 60s. Yep, I’m well into my geezerhood.
Fantastic video, very informative whilst being concise. Good production, very slick and love the hair tie, used that one before myself XD
The presentation was fluid (no pun) remarkable, skills and smile too - stunning. How do you get to be that young and that good.
Wow, You made that look easy Rachel. Thanks.👍
The ziptie in the hair was a nice touch.
lol
Nice video.
You make it look so easy to fix. Great video.
Best tutorial ever. Explained very clearly and great video work .I would advise Latex gloves.as your hands will quickly degrade and become rough.
Very high production...best tractor videos on youtube
I love your little Cub I just got a little Yard and garden 449 cub. I need to finish painting it. But my wife made me paint the house first so I never got it finished last summer.
Great presentation.Whomever taught you bout Tractors are very Proud I'm sure. Good job....:)
These videos are very good. Thanks for making them.
Beautiful and intelligent. Magic combination. You Go Girl.
Great video, make sure when you’re using an extension that long that you’re adjusting the torque accordingly. An extension that long will cause torque loss.
Great video, we always put a piece of fuel line on each rod bolt to protect the crankshaft but my hands probably weren't as steady as yours lol.
Really enjoy watching your videos, some of the words are different( generator whereas I'd say dynamo) but very interesting and informative.
very good rachel you are Intelligent
How often do you need to check and readjust the valve clearance?
I love it that these great tractors are being kept alive. Shes pretty cool too!
Nice job Rachael!!! Love your videos!!!
Just acquired 2 cubs a 48 and 49 Ill be restoring soon! Thanks for the video!! Btw love the zip tie for your hair! 😉
When doing engines with heads held on by bolts, I use two or three guide bolts to keep gasket and head in alignment for other bolts. Guide bolts are grade 8 bolts with the heads cut of and tapper the end for a clean start.
Very informative.
Any possibility of doin a front crank seal on a Cub?
Seems to be much debate on the method and tools required to pull the pully off the shaft.
Thanks .
All I did to get the front pulley off was heated it up and pryed it off with two pry bars either side, I dunno why it’s so controversial, to put it back on i heated it up again and stuck it on with my gloved hand.
