Intake?

I got 65 Polara 440 with the 318 Poly. The engine is old and tired. It will like good on a stand as it's way to expensive to rebuild. I just put a 318 out of a 70 B-body in her.

Hi! Who did the shafts?

Do you have to take steering shaft out because I couldn't get pin out of universal joint and I kinda got my punch stuck in there as well 😅

Love your videos very helpful the hole in tool box is for a grease gun hose grease gun is supposed to fit in box

I just came across your channel, Great series.. the tractor turned out sounding and looking great

Can I contact you for wd45 restoration advice?

I have used Super Clean for years. Love the stuff! The tractor looks new, great!

lol

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I have an old WD-45 and I enjoy working on it. It’s an amazing machine.

I've rebuilt before too.. It's a great feeling when you are done .Alot of time and money

Nice clean job.. Where did u get the engine specs on sch

We use to have an old dodge Monaco 1965 with a wedge motor I sure do miss that car it was red white and blue

How’s the build coming along? Thanks for the videos. I’m learning a ton!!!

Thanks for the videos. Been following this build closely! I’m learning a lot. Thank you!!!

Is there a check valve in the hydrolic pump. My lift arm settles

I know this video has some age on it, but first I came across it. I started steering a wd45 at the age of 4 in 1959 when my uncle would spread manure from cleaning the dairy barn. I can tell you how many hours I spent on the seat of one from cultivating, mowing hay, crimping, raking, disking. We had both a narrow front and wide front. Both were sold at farm auction after my uncle passed away a little over 15 years ago. Man would I love to have that tractor in my barn. Very nice job.

if you could PM me some basic dimensions and good pictures of that intake, that would be great. some buddies and myself are racing a 66 coronet in the 24 hours of lemons and we’re wanting to cast a 4 barrel intake, but they’re almost $1000 if you can even find them

I’m working on a WD 45 with my dad. He knows the 45s inside and out. I love your attention to detail. These videos are extremely informative. Well done.

Put a coolant filter kit on that iron engine with a zinc plug

Did you replace the bearings?

❤❤

I'm about to try and get one of these running again. It's a beautiful tractor

I've also heard of people using Pine Sol in their ultrasonic cleaners as a cleaning medium.

Where did you get that intake, I can't find one.

I have a bit of everything cheap through to expensive my big mic is a mitutoyo 8-9 inch waiting for it to be sent out

Thanks for making this video.

Am a show off to my friends.. like that.. by the way, am in the training process. 😂

I recently bought a used 2010 Club Car DS with 12” wheels with no lift and the front left tire barely rubs at full turn. Do you think adding a brand new left spring would help with the slight rub on the front tire or am I better off buying new shocks/putting a block to lift it slightly?

Really appreciate all the work you put into making sure bushings are replaced and that things like the steering, pedals etc are nice and tight. It was cool to watch you machine the shafts and other holes in previous videos. I would love to someday drive an AC that has had the same amount of care put into it as this one and see how much better it feels compared to our fleet of unrestored ones that we use for various things on the farm here in northern Iowa. Also thanks for the vids. I’ve been binging through the entire playlist you put together on this tractor. I have a later WD that they put the WD 45 transmission in in the factory. I will definitely reference some of these videos in the future when I have to take things apart. Especially the starter one! Thanks again!

Rebuilding the steering box on a WD45…? You mean cleaning, because there is no one man enough to have ever wore it out

Now do the drag lol

That rusty relic still makes prefect parts. As they say, you pay for quality once.

What is the lift and duration of the cam I understand that you can't go to high on the lift info ive seen recommended not exceed 477 is this correct

Thank you for these videos. I bought a 185 used and have been slowly working on it. You provide a great reference!

Bang up job, it’s as good as new!

Man that is one nice restoration! I have the same lawn mower but it’s not in as good shape. These videos have been helpful for me to learn a little more about my own machine.

Nice work Jason! 😎👍 Good call on using the clay to check clearances. Happy wrenching my friend 🔧🔩

Everything’s goin together like a fine tuned Swiss watch Jason. Too bad they haven’t made a 1 piece design oil pan gasket. Seemed like a little bit of a hassle to get just right, but everything looks so great!👍

Good tech. Nice to someone else building a Poly!

390?

I recently acquired a WD45 and the rear 2-point lift arm system stopped working and there seems to be plenty of fluid. Any recommendations on what I should do next?

FFS Caarl😒

Glad to see it wasn’t all rusted out behind the cover. For being 60 years old it’s in amazing shape back there. The less body work/rust repair you have to do the better!

wtf just happened here?

what is the lockout thumb screw on the cam of the hydraulic control valve for, mine was rusted so it wouldn't turn

Nice work Jason! 😁👍 I've heard those tops can be a bear to deal with 🔧

I have painted some wheels with the tires still mounted ,removed the air and used playing cards between the tire and wheel , easy to push in , worked great

thought the hole is for the fuel gauge dipstick

Yesterday I couldn't even spell machinist. Today I are one! That thing is dead nuts. 😂
