It's only by chance. I've another field that I spread manure on, it's extremely weedy

Story with this 3000 is it blew a tire in the field and sat for a few months. Guy came back with new tires and it was stuck. So it sat awhile longer and then at some point it came to me. Had a lot of water damage in the motor and I'm still trying to deal with that

@@RussellsFarmingRepair I have never messed with tractors that have flood damage much in my area normally if there is a tractor with flood damage it is a wore out tractor that was abused for a long time so we don't fix them.

This one had a rain cap on the exhaust but there was a rust hole in the muffler. Story is, it blew a tire and by the time they bought a new tire the motor was stuck. Rainwater causes a lot of damage

@@RussellsFarmingRepair water does not mix well with mother's you should have seen the miter out of the 1586 when we bought it the motor ran we were told it had a spun bearing witch would be the knocking noise that it made and it turned out we had to take the front end, the frame, the radiator and then we took tbe moter and had another guy we know rebuild it he could only save the injection pump, ingector lines and i think there was a few other things to but it needed a new everything

That sounds like a major job lol. I try avoid things like that at all cost but every once in awhile it gets you

I hear ya. I post a lot of places and TH-cam never has the same music I picked in other apps. But that is definitely the version of this song that would fit this 🤘

These older tractors are really resilient. A few of my tractors that I use everyday I bought really cheap in similar states. I like that they're easy to work on too

Yeah I think you should! The more videos the better and it'll be cool to see your place 👍

@@RussellsFarmingRepair ok I will post it in the next couple of weeks most likely

Thanks! You can tell I used a roller up close but it looks a lot better than it did!

@@RussellsFarmingRepair when we restored my dad's great uncles 190 allis Chalmers we used a cheap paint gun for most of it it turned out good

As long as you mix the paint right and it lays down it doesn't really matter how cheap the gun is. I'm about to paint a bunch of milk cans Allis orange and put wd45 stickers on them

@@RussellsFarmingRepair the gun we had was a used air powered one it did a good job although part of the tractor we used a brush and you can see a few spots where the paint ran we are also working on painting my great grampas 1586 international we have everything from the front of the cab forward done and we have the fenders and paet of the doors done but we are leaving the white paints as factory becouse it is in good shape

You should post a clip of it some time, I'd like to see that!

I better scoop some up! This thing might look new from 50 feet away!

@@RussellsFarmingRepair hell it just might put some shoe polish on the tires and slap some new decals on it 😂

😂😂😂 all the sudden we got big plans. Rattle can blue, shoe polish and paying absolutely no attention to the 36 power steering leaks

@@RussellsFarmingRepair power steering is for women and children anyway 😂

Ah my favorite verse from the book of John Wayne. 🙏🤣

Thanks, I appreciate it. This one was my first and I used pb blaster with ATF. I tried to just pour it down the spark plug holes but after 2 weeks I decided to pull the head. Eventually I took the oil pan off too and found some rust on the main bearings. We'll see what this sounds like when it's running again

@RussellsFarmingRepair yeah just had to do that to my LS Swapped k20 the motor had water in it head off and got to it took less than 30 minutes with the head off to get it to turn then I put it back together works fine now despite what other thought this is what I was tought to do my father is master aviation tech and diesel so yeah passed down the goods I hope you get everything up to par and hope it gose good for you.

Thanks again, I hope with a little ball honing it runs alright. If I ever come across another tractor with a stuck motor I'll be more inclined to take the head off sooner. That's cool about your dad, I was aircraft maintenance in the Air Force.

Just make sure it’s not a diesel engine 😂 or you wash it good in diesel 😂

PB blaster and ATF. I eventually gave up and took the head off. Once the head was off I heated the pistons a few times with a propane torch and then added more pb blaster. After that I just kept the breaker bar in the crank puller and yanked both directions back and forth for a long time. When I got tired, I came back the next day and kept doing it. Eventually I noticed it was barely moving in both directions. So I kept going back and forth and then it finally spun completely over.

It's a whole new world!

No I didn't see it!

I like the old 800 series but I'll say these tractors are still very simple and pretty easy to work on. I hope to get this thing going again to see how it works 👍

@@RussellsFarmingRepair I don't get to mess with very much small stuff but I like them because they where built to work and they are easy to work on the smallest tractor I have worked on for a while is a m farmall although I am hoping to buy my great grampas m John Deere it was restored before he bought it but it has not been running for a few years bht it dies not need much work because he kept it in his garage in town after they retired

I did some work on an M farmall not to long ago. I couldn't believe how tall it was compared to a Ford. If you run those old tractors a few times a week they're incredibly reliable.

@@RussellsFarmingRepair older tractors are more reliable than brand new ones because the new ones you can't let them sit for more than 3 or 4 months otherwise they have def problems and if you wanted a m that just had a bunch of work done to we are thinking of selling ours and buying a super m

Thank you, I chose good angles of the jubilee and crop 🤣. This is my first year so not all of the field looks so healthy and the jubilee was saved and painted with rattle cans last year. Runs beautifully though, it's my favorite tractor

@@RussellsFarmingRepair I can tell by your videos lol the jubilee is a real superstar.

That's a good point too! I didn't realize I used it so much more lol

Hard to beat a good running old tractor.

I heard the Dakota's are known for sunflowers. I'm in Ohio, which can have hot dry summers or hot wet summers. Kind of annoying when it comes to growing because every year is challenging

@@RussellsFarmingRepair I think there is a lot of sunflowers in north Dakota but with South Dakota the east part is corn and soybeans mainly with some cattle if you go out west there is a lot of wheat and if you go west river it is mostly cattle ground

That's pretty much what's grown here in eastern Ohio too. Cattle, corn and soy beans is what everyone grows. Every once in awhile you'll see a wheat field

@@RussellsFarmingRepair my area has a few giant dairys and there are a couple small dairys but there is a lot of smaller beef operations of round 100 cows for most and some are smaller

That's interesting, it's like you're describing my hometown and we're pretty far from each other!

Thank you. It had been painted a later Massey Ferguson silver at some point. I'm glad to put the right color back on it. I'm self teaching myself right now and I'm glad it's working out

They're really neat classic tractors but you're right, they can't compare to later big tractors. In doing about 10 acres this year and that's perfect. If I get bigger I'll be looking for more hp

@@RussellsFarmingRepair most of our tractors are 100-170 horse but we have one 1586 International that is turned up to 216 horse and be have a m farmall that we bought because it was cheap and there was other things on the same ouction that we wanted

I have my eye out for a Ford 5000 and a bigger disc. But that's an impressive line up you got there!

@@RussellsFarmingRepair my grandma has a 5000 Ford and a 8630 front wheel assist Ford power shift. I have never run the 5000 because my uncle keeps it in the mower to cut ditches for the township but the 8630 I have run and I really like it.

I'd love to have a day to play around with an 8630 lol. I use stuff so small that I can't even imagine what that would be like. Hopefully someday I can work my way up to that

It's the best medicine

My 8n is definitely the best riding

Keep her going!

My Jubilee was my first tractor. I rebuilt it and love it more than the rest but man that horsepower difference makes the jubilee hard to use

@@RussellsFarmingRepair mine has a 72" finish mower on the three point, and it works, mowed three and a half acres on two gallons of gas, I'm afraid the 172 will use more gas, but I did acquire a New Holland 1725, 29hp diesel, if that becomes useful for mowing im going to put in the bigger engine, just toys to me

That's very true, the jubilee uses a lot less gas than the 860. I'd love to have a diesel!

They're just turned around to make the tractor wide enough to cultivate. The cultivator is pretty light so traction isn't a concern. When I'm done I just jack the tractor up and flip the tires back around and the tread faces the normal direction

That's how I picked the bird seed I wanted to plant! I found a brand that would pop up sunflowers just like that and filled my planter with it lol

I have clips of both in here as well as a 860, 961 and 4000

If you don't have haters you must not be doing anything exciting 😂

Thank you!

Man nothing prepared me for the mental battles after you get out. I wonder if I made the right choice constantly

Some of it was my great grandfather's he bought new. Compared to the price of modern equipment it's so much more affordable. At the cost of a lot of maintenance hours and it takes skill to plant even straight rows. No auto steer!

I hope not!

Maximum effort!

This is a 51. I'm painting it for a customer. I would love to own one

I’ve got a 53 myself

@@X601X_MoMo they seem like good tractors. The best feature over a Ford is that the hood opens!

It is, I don't own any of the land and have to rent it.

Thank you!

😂

It's way cheaper to rent than to buy land. The shop is the neighbors, I rent a stall in it too

Much appreciated!

News one your lucky if you can replace the light without needing someone to reset your computer after

Cheaper to buy and cheaper to fix. Just a lot of man hours in keeping them going

It's a lot more manageable if you don't owe anyone money for sure

Thanks a lot!

Mine too. Hope it works out 🤞

They're a lot of fun and very gentle.

Most definitely less rust 🤣 I'm using a lot of my great grandpa's original equipment he bought new with his 8N lol

I agree completely

Sometimes you find yourself in those situations 😁

This 8N probably sat for 20 years outside before I got it. It took a lot of work but it's finally running good. It's happy pulling the disc that's for sure!
