    Great team work by this experienced husband/wife farm team. Laura, you should think about running for a public office in a few years. Everyone knows you, you are an excellent presenter and you have a magic for getting the job done no matter the task. You would make an epic House Representative for District 3. Check it out. Would love to see a common sense, well spoken person in Congress someday.

    Can't really weld the block (well, it can be done, but whether it will hold or not is iffy), but you can have a sleeve put in that cylinder which will work fine. (The Block is bored at that cylinder and a sleeve - a hollow metal cylinder - is pressed in. I've done lots. Works great.)

  • @agentcrm
    @agentcrm Рік тому +4

    Yes the cracked block can be welded. Is it worth it, probably not. Keep it for parts and to repair other motors.
    Also, don't hang that much weight on the tip of your tines. That much bend can permanently weaken the tine, even more than drilling a hole in them in the first place.

    Quick tip for ya - anytime you might be working with hose clamps - toss a 1/4" drive ratchet in your pocket with a 5/16"and a 1/4" socket. That way you don't have to worry about the flat screwdriver slipping - and you can get the clamps loosened/tightened easier...👍

    I worked at a co op and we built frames for the engine's and tanks,I also had to deliver and level them,instead of the legs just weld some rectangular tubing on each side that way you just drive up and slide your forks in and your set,can always use small cement blocks or dig a bit to level them!!

    01:18 When you set the ball on top of the hitch, then back-up an inch to "Drop" the hitch onto the ball, the trailer will surge forward as it drops and jam against the internal latch part. Your fix using encouragement works OK until you accidentally bend the lever.
    Hint: when you back-up and drop the hitch onto the ball, put your truck back in 'D'rive and pull an inch forward. That takes the preasure off of the internal latch, and you probably won't have to encourage it at all. (Probably)

    If that block is only cracked through the water jacket it's an easy fix. Take a wire wheel and clean any rust off, then use a dye check kit to see where the crack actually is and ends. Next take a small drill and drill a stop hole at each end of the crack. Now use a burr to V out most of the crack and braze it up. There are thousands of older farm tractors and equipment out there with brazed water jackets from the occasional "OOPS it got cold faster than I thought" I have one that was repaired on the old family farm by my grandfather in the late 40's, still going strong and hasn't ever leaked.

    Most people don’t understand that farming/gardening are a year round activity. Winter is the big time I work on a lot of composting since I organic garden and most years the ground isn’t so frozen so I usually turn a lot of soil to make sure nutrients are dispersed. I also do repairs on tools this time of year.

    I believe it is the block that is cracked, not the head. The head is still on the other bank. If it is an external crack it can be welded to stop a coolant leak. If it is cracked internally also, like in the bore, you are talking money to fix and re bore. Perhaps you could do a video of you rebuilding an engine sometime?

    With such low temperatures it must make it hard to work on anything that is made of metal, I recommend WD40 on bolts it would make it easier removing and putting on nuts. I see you got on Grant's shoulders and not the other way around. 🤤
    A farmer's work is never done, especially the start of the new year. I switched on my computer at 9am, your video was upload 6 hours ago. Happy New Year from Mike. ❤
