My grandpa was 100% IH. He had a B and H and a Super MTA. I was a little guy but I remember him overhauling one, don't remember if it was the H or the M, but he showed how he was going to put the new sleeves in. He has a chest type deep freezer and he put the sleeves in overnight, next day they dropped right in! I thought my grandpa was the smartest and greatest man alive!
I totally agree with you about getting things to run nice, not just run. Im into old land rovers, mines 1954, and so many people think "oh yeah, its a land rover, theyre supposd to rattle and be unreliable". Annoyes me so much, i offroad mine and daily drive it, yet people get in and say how nice it feels to drive.
First i need to thank you for the shout out to my channel, on the drilled stud run your torch through it till it turns turns red and let it cool, that operation will expand the drilled bolt and upset it so when it cools it will shrink and come out. good luck. glad i found your channel. As you may have figured from my channel i hate depending on others because people can be not fun to deal with.
@@survivingmaineona20acrefar77 been doing that exact heating/cooling technique with the stud remnants- great minds think alike! Happy to have you along, I’m a big fan of your channel.
Always used a double nut to keep a threaded rod from spinning. Jam them against themselves and put an end wrench on the appropriate nut to oppose your desired direction of travel.
Quick tip for your sleeve puller, use a king pin thrust bearing under the top nut. This makes it a lot easier to hold the threaded rod and a lot easier to pull the sleeves.
A friend of mine inherited an old farm that is just full of all kinds of stuff. I’ve been helping with the clean up. Amongst the stuff are 6 IH model H tractors wish I knew more about what parts are sought after. There is also a 1930’s IH truck at the farm.
For your cracked cylinder heads you might try Chapin Cylinder Head and Block in Chapin, IL. They welded up a head off of a Super MTA for me last fall. Did a nice job at a fair price.
Yeah, my B needs the rocker arms reconned, but I can’t find anyone local who can do them. I’m going to have to figure out a way to do it myself. They fit fine on the shaft, but they have a lot of wear on the valve end…
@@BareKnuckleBinderI’m looking at using my disc sander. I think as long as I have the table as square as possible to the disc, I should be able to lay the rocker on its side and carefully sand the face down. As long as I’m careful to maintain the original radius, I should be able to make it work, then I can polish them on my buffer. Just a lot of time involved. And then I still have to find a valve cover. There were a lot of parts missing on this DIY kit tractor…..

@@TristanHawk there’s a real difference between living and living well!

@@mdemers767 I would have, but I ran out of 3/4” nuts!

@@filobeto1691 I may try them, but IC Weld wants to try a new technique on at least one of them in an upcoming video.
A set of over and under reamers comes in real handy if you are doing a lot of bushing work. Especially if you don't have a mill and boring head.
@@bw6378 already looking into them! The less I have to rely on a machine shop, the better.
Love it!
Great vid, those wear grooves could be filled up with some weld.
@@blackbuttecruizr yeah, if I hadn’t already welded the shaft on I would have filled them. Live and learn! 😂

@@notajp same with these ones. I’m looking for an old valve grinding machine with the rocker attachment at this point.
