Old farms are a gold mine for stuff when you need to fabricate stuff. Im a mobil mechanic, and one time, I spent three days on a remote farm. When I got there, i just wandered around looking at what he had laying around to see what he had that might be useful. Sure enough, I needed a holding bar and I knew right where to find a bit of scrap to make one. Sometimes that hoarding tendancy comes in handy because you never know when you will need some 7/8 roundbar.
“If they don’t find you handsome, at least they’ll find you handy”! My favorite saying from Red Green. And I’ve said for years, “ I’m nothing if not an idea man”!
Your videos never fail to educate! After watching your videos, I know I can take the information you provide and perform the exact same task with confidence that it will come out as expected! You're a great teacher and historian all rolled into one.
You've done short episodes before. But you made another new tool, that came from the pile of "I'm gonna keep that I may need it" stuff. Yay for you to have what you need when you need it. A good short video, is still a GOOD video.
Very creative and well executed tooling. Toby you are a true craftsman, a tip of the hat to you. Just need to get out the number punch set and assign the tool a part number LOL
Excellent design. It is suggested that tools are what set us humans apart from lower life forms - Squatch you are the top of the toolmakers mountain!! So fun to see your fixture inventions. Well done.
You are a smart man and I like that you can overcome the challenges that are put in front of you. People can learn a lot from you if they just pay attention and not try to one up you I like that you are very detailed on your process. I enjoy your videos immensely!!!
Squatch………..”I made a tool.” Me……………..YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! Really liked the video where Squatch showed us all the tools he made previously for 1113. Good stuff!
When you have a project like that in mind for a long time, every time you think about it you mentally work out another detail of design, available materials and sequence of manufacturing operations so that when you finally start the process of assembly, it all kind of just flows.
I liked it. There is a big opportunity in those belly pumps for a young mechanic such as yourself and I know how much you like to work on them.. you could become a migrant belly pump expert worker and make the big bucks!
Having wrestled the belly pumps that is a good idea. The small IH dealer if my youth had a heavy u-bolt with a key way cut that they mounted on a jack. It wouldn't touch the external pump surface. Thank you.
An absolutely excellent tool for removing or installing that belly pump! However, for painting, I would have just shoved a bar all the way through that hole and suspended it upside down from your engine hoist.
Great video Squatch! The tool you made was a really good idea. And like you said this is a two man job to put that pump in place and that simple tool gave you those hands. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers
Man, the way your brain works! I believe that you are correct when you say you was born in the wrong time of history. Are you sure that your not a reborn Prototype tractor designer from back in the day? I could easily see you in that role making the design work!
It was said by many and ole mechanics, once the Tool truck left, hurry and draw out the tool that you want with your modification. All mechanics need these skills
Toby, you always can make a tool best I've ever seen. I've been here for a very long time and I'm still amazed how well you approached ever problem that comes up.
Dang - I Love it!! I have had the occasional wrestling match with the belly pump out of my early M. Nobody is ever around when you need them. Great tool!
Handy tool! When I painted the pump, I inserted a piece of threaded rod through the keyhole, then used a piece of heavy chain hook. I then hung it upside down from the engine hoist for painting... For putting it back in place, it was crudely balanced on a block of wood on the floor jack... Slowly lifted into place. I feel like I have done them enough now I am pretty good at balancing it with one hand while working the jack with the other.. But your new tool will be FAR less risky than my option! Nice work on the fabrication!
Very nice squatch. You went farther than I did, but I didn't account for painting either. My pump just balanced on top of the jack, and I used a shaft with pin to hold it vertical and rotate it for alignment. I'll have to remember this.
You've got the shop version of the one I built for under a tree or gantry use. Mine's two pieces of 1 1/2 x 3/8 flat stock that fit the "keyway" ,go out about 10 inches then upward about 18 inches, to which are welded two rings from a grain drill drag chain. A small chain is attached to each ring ,then up to a chain hoist. Bada booom! That will be one nice H---you've been meticulous.
Excellent video the new tool looks like a Excellent idea any time you can lift something with a jack or a hoist and engine crane makes the job a whole lot easier keep up the great videos
Squatch co special tool (patent pending all rights reserved) can't remember that company that appeared in all those cartoons but you have to be catching up well thought out
Good job! I was thinking you would have done two pieces for each side so that it was out like the two man one but attach them to a single plate similarly to what you did so it was open under neath. But that works better.
Great episode again Toby! A great tool for the hydraulic pump to! Thanks for the update! Wonder how you strip the paint off the shock. Have a great weekend!
I like how you often build special tools for special jobs. It could very well be that the tool may only be used once or twice in a life time. So how do you inventory your special tools to be able to find them and remember what they were made for. I might come across a tool I made years ago and can’t remember what I made it for. Age and decades will do that to ya.
@@squatch253 If you continue your prolific pace of creating tools you may end up having to create a database to allow for easy searches of information about past many years of tool production. It gets hard to keep track of 1 or 2 thousand specialty tools. 😀
Bottom of belly pump where you slid the jack adapter through the holes. I have two rods that are in that place and cannot understand how to get them out.
They might just be rusted and stuck in there, or bent slightly causing a bind. Normally everything just sides loosely in and out because there isn't anything in those holes to make things get stuck. If you are able to rotate them, try turning them slowly while trying to get them to pull out, it may just be that they put a couple of tabs on the ends of them to align with the square key-slot that is milled down the length of each hole, and those tabs just need to be brought back into alignment in order to pull the rods out.
Cool tool, gives me a couple ideas for my own project. BTW! help? I know you have covered it, but I have yet to find how and out of what you make your fold over locks. What is the stock you use? I need a few, again, for my own project... Shhh... its a Ford.... Shhh.... Thank you sir !!!
I can tell you've gone to the engineering school of hard knocks! Video production school of desperation of making it on UA-cam! Welding school of *"THAT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE!"* ;) ( Not knocking the welds!) Enjoyed the video!
Squatch, you're ingenuity and fabrication skills never cease to amaze me 👏👏👏👏👏

Don't you just love it,though,when someone asks for a blueprint or a drawing with dimensions for this kind of stuff?

Having a lathe and a mill in my garage, I've found that I save all sorts of scrap now for use later making parts lol.

The mother of all inventions is necessity. All great minds are the ones who is an issue as a meaning to bulid a tool 😂

Work smart not hard is a necessity when you have to work alone.
Great job👍
The gasket, fold over lock and special tool maker is at it again.

Your consistent thoughtful preparation and planning is second to none. Very impressive! 👍

Great job on the tool for the belly pump. Your skills never ceases to amaze me.
Outstanding you amaze me with your logical technical ability.
Dang - I Love it!! I have had the occasional wrestling match with the belly pump out of my early M. Nobody is ever around when you need them. Great tool!
Excellent design and build on the belly pump "tool"!
Very good. I am one of many who value and appreciate your craftsmanship.

Sweet fixture for the pump.
I actually thought that this was very exciting, nice job!!
really slick idea Toby for handling the Hydraulic pump
What a wonderful tool to make life simple for assembly and even make the painting an easy chore.
Good design! I have the problem of over complicating projects.
You've got the shop version of the one I built for under a tree or gantry use.

Nice . Any tool that makes a task easier is well worth the investment of time .
A real Wheels-Always-Turning kind of guy.
Squatch mastermind👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Bravo
I like red jacks better than blue jacks anyway, thanks for the video!
26' x 7/8" OD rod x 300 pieces. Want a couple lengths.😆 Nice work
Excellent video the new tool looks like a Excellent idea any time you can lift something with a jack or a hoist and engine crane makes the job a whole lot easier keep up the great videos
Please amend the Geneva Convention to mandate all transmissions have the casting design of the h hydraulic pump. Thank you, grease stained community.
Nice fabrication idea!!👍🏼👍🏼
Really cool! It's amazing what a good idea, some old salvaged scraps, good skills, and machine tools can do!
Do you suppose CNHi will print a revision insert to the Farmall H-M service manual with a diagram print with measurements of your new tool?
I use engine stands and even old lawn mower frames for painting
Work smarter, not harder!
Brilliant plan put to service.
Damn, that'll save stran on the back and arms! Neet idea, and it makes for a one man installation and removal.😊
Awesome! Another great idea that I will attempt to use.
Great job. You have a very creative mind!
excellent tool
That is very cool. I am sure you could sell a few of those tool.
WOW! Good tool for the job!
Very clever! Necessity is the mother of invention.
Squatch co special tool (patent pending all rights reserved) can't remember that company that appeared in all those cartoons but you have to be catching up well thought out
If you are thinking of the Road Runner cartoons the company was Acme. 😀
That was just a amazing idea utilized in a very clever way
good thinking! I need to build one this summer.
Outstanding 👍
very cool and ingenious.
Very nice tool! I'm making something like it when I work on a leaky belly pump that's been bothering me.
Amazing work
Absolutely brilliant idea carried through to production 👌
Amazing metal working skills.
Good job! I was thinking you would have done two pieces for each side so that it was out like the two man one but attach them to a single plate similarly to what you did so it was open under neath. But that works better.
I predict some Farmall Red hydraulic jacks in your future. Maybe just tape over the spec label so you know the capacity in the future.
love how you think out of the box!
Very nice
tool making takes time. good thinking!
Great work!!!! Thank you for sharing..
Great episode again Toby! A great tool for the hydraulic pump to! Thanks for the update! Wonder how you strip the paint off the shock. Have a great weekend!
You never disappoint EVER…!!! Always wondered how our 1949 H was made. Best lessons always…!!!
🤔 👍 out standing !! Ever think of manufacturing your own tractor / tool brand?
Maybe call it the squatchAll 253 series. 🤔😳🤦♂️🤷♂️😝✌️🤙
😂 👍
Genius Ideal.
Spur of the moment tool making separates humans from all other life forms on Earth.
Like the way you think. Great video!
Love this
Genius tool idea for painting and install. Do you prefer a rattle can for touch up, or do you mix up paint in the sprayer?
I love the fabrication episodes

I love squatch Tool Time! Wroooh Wroooh!
Off topic, but knowing you are a train guy, I'm curious what you thought of the videos of 4014 providing helper service to a stalled freight train.
I made a tool to remove and install the belly pump used a floor jack like yours but it cradles it
Good video
I would have went with "I am a tool" but anyway. Running by the 4th er no? 🤔
Cool idea!
Easy!
👍
A cool tool 😊😊👍
Another comment begs the question how do you keep the tooling creations together, stored where available and rust free?
Great thinking.
