I've been waiting 2 yrs for this loader to get delivered by a friend from a few states over. conflicting schedules and life caused lots and lots of delays. But it's here and now I can start working on it (along with every thing else I own). But at least I can use this while I work on it. I hope yall enjoy the video and don't forget to like and subscribe and hit that bell so you'll be notified w...

Yummy
Itll gag a maggot! That was pretty rough. I had to just throw away my hat and my clothes.
Some info please !
@@louisgassens.7039 I've got another video with more info. Go check out my channel for more info. I might have a diagram lying around. Ill see if I cam find it and post it
A good ol 4.4 Liter six
@@MrThatnativeguy I love these old inline sixes. They will run forever!
Badass trying to rebuild one myself hope if I have question u can help me out
@elmaracorda1075 can do brother!
I feel your pain, some days it seems like every mechanical system I use has something broken.
Amen! I think I finally got it going though. Fingers crossed!
bless you 😂
Thank you!! Hah
I need that nose cone off that sears hood
Sorry. I already sold the frame and body to another guy. Only thing I have left is the engine
Fairly easy to get replacement belts?
Yes. They are a standard size
I'll have to double check, but I believe its a 1"x30" I looked em up and you can get em at just about any place, maybe even harbor freight
@@oldironfinder Thanks for the help I ended up ordering one
You wont be disappointed. I love mine. I chose just the attachment because I have plenty of grinders.
It uses 1.5x30 belts. I hope that helps
Looks good. flat earth industries
Good name for a trench bucket company! Haha.
ah yes, nothing quite like a little centrifugal dauber nest attack!! lmao. next question, you gonna use it or sell it?
Probably sell. Don't really have a use for it
Straight to the point
Heck yea!!!!
Good catch there!
Yes sir. They coulda went south quick
Did you manage to stop it?
Yes. Closed off air intake. Had dirty injectors and injectors pump rack was stuck
That almost became bad.
You ain't kiddin!!!!
AAHHHHHHHHH shit! Lol thank god you stopped the guy from throwing the shop rag in there. Hopefully it was a valuable learning moment for him. . .that rag would have caused massive damage.
Oh god. Dude was about to put a rag in there. Luckyly The other guy acted quickly and saved this enginge from further damage. Good Job
Exactly! I had a small plastic container handy for just that reason. He was about to make a bad mistake!!
@@oldironfinder Did you find the cause of the runaway?
@hawksights yes. Injectors stuck. Got 2 freed up and gonna have the third one unstuck later this morning hopefully. I'm gonna have a long form video of this setup from where I first got it to where it's running and ready to go. I may have it uploaded to youtube later today or tomorrow.
It's up and running. Amd not running away. Haha. Got injectors/rack freed up and works perfectly!
Cop. Shots fired shots fired… backup. You there. I repeat are you there…
you control volts by spinning engine faster.
And on the last one, I had a different pulley setup that worked alot better. This one is OK for small thin stuff
yup. different pulley .. differet rpm of alt. hmmm. drimmel a key way on the shaft to make pulley swapping easy?? allows you not to have to rev. engine higher. though likely only benefit for large projects where you will stick with same volt amp for hours.
Maybe. I wonder if one of those torque convertor clutches would work with a handle throttle? Might be work looking into. You cam get those cheap on ebay
Good luck I thank we all still looking for a nut here and there lol😂
You must live in a very dry climate as it’s in very good condition.
It is. And usually we are pretty dry. Hard to tell now though with the pretty much non stop rain for a month
@@oldironfinder I’ve just inherited a MF 35 but the tinware is a bit worse for ware. Mind you, I live on the SW coast of Ireland where it never stops raining haha
Yea, yall do get lots of rain. Of course, we have here lately too. I'm in north tx. And we've been getting hammered with rain, high winds, flooding, and tornadoes. But it's about to stop and then we will be begging for rain. So howdy from Texas and have a good one brother!
Would love to know how long it was able to self sustain
I would say forever unless power went out. Haha
@@oldironfinder Oh you had it hooked up to power lol I must have missed that. Perpetual motion obviously doesn’t exist but I have seen simple machines similar to this that where able to generate some amount of electricity.
Yea. I made this video just for fun. I may make another one later with a much bigger flywheel. I kinda believe these will work to a point. But eventually they will stop unless some outside force is exerted on them to keep em moving.
@@oldironfinder I’ve always been interested in the concept as well. Technically in a way hydroelectric systems are perpetual unless acted on by an outside force and the earths rotation around the sun would be perpetual to most humans however both will obviously not function in perpetuity as the sun will eventually die and water flow changes. Even though “perpetual motion” isn’t technically possible in my mind if it functions for your entire lifetime it was perpetual for you haha.
Yes. I've always liked this concept too. I think it would be feasible. To a point. Even if you had something to run for x amount of time and then had an outside force act on it to get it going, you're technically still getting some "free" motion, which could be energy. Especially with enough flywheel. In my opinion
Question... how hard is it to remove the original engine from this unit? I have a 440B that only has 485b hours on it but needs a new stater and a new starter.
You got the single cylinder kohler? If so, it's really easy to get out. Should just be the choke and throttle cables, one belt, the 4 mounting bolts and battery cables.
And yes they are amphibious
Thats kool. I figured if it had a plug in it, that it would indeed go on water. But there's nothing definitive online about em that says so. I just assumed. And of course, I'm gonna make sure mine does. Haha. I'll probably mount a bilge pump in it just in case!
My brother owned one of those. We had a blast with both land and water
cool im ordering it Right Now!
You wont be disappointed! I love it!!
Hi, I'm not exactly sure on how to do this. I've never opened an alternator and don't understand how they work. I have a 160 amp, externally regulated alternator that I mounted on my engine. It is a stand-alone for welding only with no regulator. The stock alternator is still in place and will do the battery charging. From what I gather, all I have to do is put 12v to one of the two field wires and the other to ground. Then the negative for welding is the body of the alternator and the positive is off the post that previously went to the battery. Is this correct. Thank you.
I believe that is correct. I'd have to go back and look at my video, but I believe that's the way mine is wired
There's a ton of videos on yt about wiring these. Problem is there's lots of different types of alternators. They pretty much all can weld, they just go about getting there a little different.
@@oldironfinder Yep, I just started looking into it and the variations are what was throwing me. I'll give it a shot once I get the new belt in place. I'll post back with the results, 'cause if this works, it is cake. No need to spend the $1500 on Premier!
I couldn't agree more. I really enjoy making stuff myself and not having to buy unless necessary. Plus, it's alot more fun!! And rewarding when what you build actually works! Just keep it up and you'll get there.
Bro, you killin it. Love the new format
Thanks!
Thank you for the truck I’m loving it it’s been a really great truck
I'm glad you like it. I really loved that truck. I miss it.
Oh , btw. Proud of you cartoon.
Thanks buddy! Hope you're doing well! From what I see on fb, you are. Happy for you!
Were you surprised ? That old shit only need 3 thangs.
Great job. I wish I was as handy as you. You’re fearless with your skills.
Thanks brother! It came from years of having to work on my own stuff cause I couldn't afford to take to shop
Madness people throw this away in usa .
Exactly. I don't even know how many push mowers and riding mowers I've picked up that just needed some maintenance. But that's today's throw away society. I'll take all I can get. Haha!!
Do you still have the tractor for sale?
No sir. A collector cane by and snatched it up.
In 1951 Minneapolis-Moline acquired the BF Avery & Sons farm equipment company, probably why your tractor is yellow.
Yup. Good catch
Hell yeah.
Great Thank you!
Way to use what you got
Heck yea! That's the name of the game man!
Only subscribing bc i wanna see a little guy win
Thanks brother!! I do def wanna win, for reasons in my later videos. And I am a little guy too! Hahah Thanks again!
Way to go😅😅😅
That works!!
Def does. Ill probably be using this way more than I expected!!
And thanks for the sub!!
That’s a feriaon
It's a WHAT??
@@oldironfinder A ferirson tractor I have one
You mean ferguson?
Yes
@@oldironfinder it’s the same modle
I thought I was gonna be the first one to build something like this on TH-cam 😢😢
Unfortunately, I wasn't the first either. They've been around a while. I just wanted to see if I could do it. Pretty happy with the results
@@oldironfinder I see what u mean now I found some others as well… when the idea popped in my head I was hoping no one had thought of it already. Anyways though cool project I might still build one and make it as small and as compact as possible
I'm still planning on making another one. Same thing. Small as possible and have it weld at least 80 to 85 amps.
@@oldironfinder how much hp you think you need? I’m hoping 6hp will be enough
6hp will weld light stuff. I had a 13hp hinda on the last one I built and welded sch 40 pipe and c purlin pretty much all day long.
Did you just put a vintage go-kart shell on a garden tractor?
Heck yea! It's just sitting on it. I may or may not wanna do something with it!
@@oldironfinder if you still have unwanted cosmetic parts from that tractor, let me know! I’m hoarding lawn and garden tractor parts
Will do.
Massey Ferguson purchased the Perkins Engine Company in 1959. Accordingly, They started putting the Engine into Their Tractors shortly thereafter. The Tractor in this Vid is a 35 ( not TO anymore) with the 3 Cylinder 152 Cubic Inch Engine. This Engine was available in either Gas or Diesel Power. Prior to this, Massey used a Diesel Engine made in England for 2 years. Named Standard. While the Standard was a very good Engine, it only made sense to utilize Their own newly acquired product, Perkins. Fergieman
Cool video. are those trailer wheels? I like them.
Yes. I buy lots of these little wheels for trailer and stuff. That five hole pattern is universal to alot of stuff. Riding mowers, trailers, some atv stuff, etc.
I have a full set of the original wheels, they just need to be cleaned up and have tires put on em
What is the gross vehicle weight on a 7000 series
I wanna say that one was 22500 or close to that, but they vary depending on what they were setup for. I think some went up to 30k gvwr
Cool
So do you know where to get cam and lifters for this engine?
@@terrellscaife2411 does yours have the 8.2 detroit diesel
And are you looking for hi perfomance cam and lifters? Because I'm pretty sure they dont exist for it. But if you have the 366 gas or other gas big block, then yes, you can get cam and lifters for those through summit
Eight minutes of unboxing? Riveting content, dude.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not sure about this, any co, that dosnt spell check the paperwork sound iffy.
Maybe that's just a playful way to spell lift. Flit does sound way more funner. Haha
Plus, the product is really well made. I've used this pump several times and it's never failed to work great
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome!
@old iron finder Wow man so glad I found your video about the homemade welder you made 5 years ago! I have some questions tho, for you could you use a truck alternator and still be able to weld or would that not work? Also what is the alternator you are using actually from? Thanks!
Yes you can use a truck alternator. You could use almost any alternator for that fact, but this leece neville is literally the easiest to convert to a welder. Snip a few wires and its ready to weld. That is assuming the diodes are good. And I believe the alternator I used in the video came off a peterbilt or some other large truck
