@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch yup get it while you can. Soon enough you'll be like me - you're 74, your kids are in their forties, and you have 7 grandchildren. "How did this happen???"🤣🤣
Very good research and storyline you came up with based on your findings! Definitely some complex stuff between the '27 and '28 D parts. Rae loves to steal the show at the end. She's going to be your camera operator one day soon. Thank you for the video. 🚜 👍
Lots of confusing information. It's a wonder why they went back in forth in gearing... But I think it is likely due to the experimental D's at the time. They had Exhibit A, and Exhibit B model D's.. These were experimentals during that time period in which they were playing with different style steering, a 3 speed transmission, different carburetors, among some other small changes. It's sometimes a matter of trial and error on these!
Gday ol’ mate. Really good TV. Well presented and full of content. Here’s a tip brother, the brown paint you throw everywhere is only for the oil holding castings. You really do make the restoration look a million dollars but let’s be honest, no one is ever gonna judge you for that. Even concourse de elegance is not gonna look in there. Since cast iron is poor man’s steel and it’s granular and porous, it would weep oil continuously ( possibly) so any of the oil sumps have this high build cheap paint to seal the pores. It’s usually white in modern machines so that the broken tooth or the pile of iron filings is easy to spot. You make everything look gorgeous but it’s a complete waste of time. Just sayin’ Keep posting brother. You’re one of the good guys.
It might be a waste of time coating the gears and other small components, but the castings need something inside to prevent the iron from becoming oil saturated and eventually leeching it out of the case. I appreciate the comments and glad you enjoy the videos.
@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch yep. You’re on to it. RE read my comment, I did say the main castings needed the coating. You have build a beautiful tractor. Even tho it’s not a true spoker, it looks fantastic. Will you paint it or leave it in the desirable patina ? It’s really cool how it is.
Got some loud gear noise in my 36 A drive train. Hope its the reduction gears. I have a 37 parts tractor. I plan to run her like designed on a 10 acre plot regularly.
One thing I would check is the bearing on the outside of the reduction gear that holds the end of the reduction gear shaft in the reduction gear cover. On my '42 A, the bearing had failed and the shaft was wobbling so much that it wore into the reduction cover. I had to replace the reduction gear, gear cover, bearing, and shaft.
@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch Mine has an external grease zirk on that bearing for some reason. Maybe someone put it in as a bandaid on a known issue with the bearing. I dont plan to use the tractor for anything until I get it resolved. Sad, it is all painted up and fully restored with new tires, I really want to run her.
@@derweibhai Luckily that stuff isn't TOO difficult to do. The swap could be done in a day, easily. Just gotta take your time and keep stuff organized.
Wow, my head hurts now going through all those serial numbers 😂. On another note, do you know of any sources that would have cam bearings (bushings) for International LB engines? Flywheel Supply doesn't have them and I'm having a dickens of a time sourcing them.
I get confused with instructions like “insert tab A into slot B to close” on the cereal box. If there are ranges and part numbers and substitution numbers and you have to draw up your own reference page, I’m out! But, out of your shear love of old tractors and bloody knuckles, you’ll work it out. Good luck with this wrinkle. 🥸👍👀👋✅
It's a matter of treasure hunting, kind of.. 12 paces east, followed by 156 paces to the north. Turn North at the large rock with the crack through the middle, and after 731 paces you will find yourself at "the spot".. Ha ha!
That daddy-daughter hug at the end? You're killing me, Kenny! Thanks for the video.
Makes me melt every time, too, Alan! Soak it up while I can!

Glad you got your questions answered. Hope you can get it resolved soon. That’s for the update Kenny
Got the replacement gear.. Going to attempt R&R today.
That wasn't so bad, I was blessed with a very good parts guy that knew the books very well.
Glad you enjoyed! I was fortunate enough to locate the correct gear. Going to attempt removal and reinstallation of the gear today.
Hey Kenny! You should do a presentation of all of the tractors you have owned. I think it would make a cool video!
I'll work on that!

@@gregrankin1324 This tractor will stay just like it is. Preserved in its' 97 years of glory!
Your a blessed man kenny!!!
Thank you!
Good catch on those gears
Could've been really noisy and probably overly warm without doing more research and correcting the issue!
Good job Kenny!
Thanks, Bill!

Flywheel supply would have been my guess. Might have to have one made?
@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch Yep, I have a couple of UA-cam machinist pals that may be able to help out
Rae Lynn such a cutie 💓 😍 🤧 💗 💖
She is the star of the channel!
I know it’s a pain, but have you verified the part number of the reduction gear you now have in the tractor ?
It may save some time later …..
Yes. The reduction gear on the tractor is the early production gear. This was the only one piece gear. The later gears were a 2 piece gear.
