  • I noticed the tractor was jumpy when letting the clutch out to take off, I checked the rear wheels and found one had side to side movement in the bearing. It turned out to be an easy fix

    David Brown's got a wobble
    In the right rear wheel.
    But for old Marty T
    It's no big deal.
    He took off the wheel
    And then drained the oil.
    Took out some shims
    As thin as tin foil.
    Put it all back together.
    Torqued the bolts round the clock.
    Went out to the stockpile.
    Got a nice scoop of rock.
    The David Brown's wobble
    And the pot hole are gone.
    I think we're all ready
    To see the next one.
    Thanks for the fun Marty T. :-)

    Hi Marty,
    Another nice find.
    It's certainly in need of a good clean to get decades of dirt accumulation off. But you have to determine it's worth that effort and water.
    Noticed when you were using your micrometer you used the main barrel to get your reading, you should use the smaller knob at the end as it's like a torque wrench that always applies the same pressure. And when you've finished never close them up, always leave the anvils slightly separated, so changes in temperature and the resultant expansion/contraction won't damage the instrument.
    A front bucket is something I would love to have on my tractor, so useful.
    All the best, Dennis.

    Tyres full of water. Or 3pl weight can be advantageous and a diff lock. My old backorder had this and made loader work easier .A low gear ..don't ride the clutch and just curl and load with minimal wheel slip. God you can get some work done on an old rig like yours. Cheers mate from an Aussie. I'm sorry if the advice is too much but I just learnt how to drive my old banger by teaching myself. Got plenty of road work and building done with it

    Well that was a simple fix. Tractor wheel bearings should last forever. Your compound is getting a bit too crowded. Might be time to move your perimeter fence on out a bit.

    Just a tip when using the micrometer to prevent loss of calibration: make sure to use the little knob at the end as if you use the large end you risk damaging the internals and loosing calibration. But thank you for the videos and keep up the good work.
