How nice that you can just, step by step, go through that process and come out successful. You're an inspiration ... not that I am ever gonna split on old tractor in two... But still, an inspiration for those of us attempting ANY task. Thanks Bus.
Great great video Bus. I have a 49. And I've got a leaking radiator (hopefully just the gasket) but yeah, I see this video & I so want to start but am at the moment building a 2 bay garage. Thank you
You've inspired me to take my tractor apart... On second thought... It's 33 and snowing here for the first time this year. Way too cold! I don't know how you do it. Broken foot, freezing temps, wood floor, up hill both ways. I could go on and on. Well, time to watch the follow up!
Ha! It was up hill both ways now that you mention it! I don't know how one works outside in temps like that on thick old steel. I don't really like it, and wish for carolina temps when in the middle of a project like that. But I bet your wired the same, that once something breaks, wether you need it now or not, you want it fixed. Thanks for the comment. Snow out there!
13:28 "Seventy years of agricultural detritus...Looks like turkey poop, it's terrible, runny, "Fowl" stuff... ". My favorite line and i'll bet you didn't know you were being Punny. Very nice job both mechanically and artistically. One of the reasons I look forward to Friday. Thanks.
I have a 9n,1941 model and need to split it to replace the oil pump and clutch,which is seized. My problem is that the tractor is only about 10 yrs older than I. Another difficulty is that I have no garage or shed to work in. I've been wrenching on motorcycles,cars and trucks and have the manual to rely on,so am watching this. Thanks.
Yes! Thank you. I fact I thought of you when chopping this one together. Good old steel! Nothing beets it. Although, hydrostatic 4wd heated cab is kinda nice. Time or money, right?
Thanks for the great tutorials. As always you inspire and educate. Love the content regardless if is serving trays, motors or roofing. Looking forward to whatever you post!
Well I really appreciate this kind sentiment from you. I know the channel is a bit of all over the place but I still like such a wide range of subjects that I must share!
Great video, Buddy! I think you are an N Series Ford Tractor Mechanic for sure! Those gaskets you made, I have a bunch of them. Hopefully, I will see you tomorrow.
Good morning Bus! Great job, I would like to see it a requirement for high school age kids that are interested in becoming a engineer to take apart and resemble a old tractor or car, that would give them a better perspective on how to make things work and last. Really it should not be limited to just engineer inspired kids but to all kids. Stay warm buddy.
There is a 2002 Cub Cadet lawn tractor for sale here that is junk because the main hydrostatic pump went. It makes me sad to see that happen. Much better to be able to repair it as you did
Nice to give the old gal some love! I believe its designed to run 80/90 weight in the transmission, hydraulics and rear end. Having rebuilt my own 44 2n hydraulic pump, it seems viscosity is important to seal certain clearances. I am curious what your experience will be, tractor fluid might be a better winter option! Be Well Bus
Thanks a lot for the comment. That is what i was thinking, through the winter (this dark one particularly,) the thinner fluid may be nicer on all the workings. I will likely drain it come summer for that reason. And because i stirred up all that stuff it'll be good to send some clean stuff in.
The gear that split and was rattling around in unwanted places was part of the starter motor. You can see the new part go in at 17:15. Pulling the tractor apart was required to get the trashed bits out not the new piece in.
I can't think of many people who do so well sat thinking through an issue before acting! Just like the portico pulleys, your procedure worked like a charm. Now if you could just visualize your foot bone healing solid! You sure are moving around a lot! Perhaps haggle for a cheap X-ray or MRI(yes you can get discount MRIs) before you get back to full speed. Patience!
Ha! Thanks a lot! Yes, I have a follow up with an orthopedic surgeon who i know on tuesday to get another look at the inside and give some advice. It is feeling a lot better these days and i can't feel the bone moving around as much in there, which is great. But youre right, I aught to be taking it a little easier.
I am in Maine, the northeastern US. That ford is pretty useful, but not nearly as useful as my diesel Ford from 1979 with a loader. I only have access to the back hoe quite randomly, as it belongs to my neighbor who uses it for work. Thanks for the question.
About time Statler and Waldorf made an appearance. I know they've been watching from the wings, not sure how they've bitten their tongues this long. You made this look easier than it would be for me. Sets a great baseline for if I ever have to try it myself. But wait. A gear broke and wasn't replaced but it still drives. What am I missing?
Yes. Thank you for noticing my feeble interpretation of the greats from the balcony. Of course you got that. So, I wasn't as clear in this video as I should have been in explaining what happened and what I did to fix it. which is a bummer. But, i got a new gear for the end of the starter motor and installed it. So, the one that broke in the bitter cold is now replaced. I should make a note of this in the description, as you're not the first to miss this. Thanks a lot fir the comment.
Engineered failure and obsolescence is a business model these days. Thomas Edison's original light bulbs still work to this day. They were made to last, not to burn out.
It good capitalism, building junk is good for business. I was saying "Load Hug" then you commented. Ha. My first car was a '67 Saab, the engine was burned up in a fire, I slipped in a used one from the parts yard out back and replaced the wire harness in the engine area and it got me well into highschool, back in the early '80s. We also ran plenty of VWs Have you ever used Fluid Film, a coat on the hood will keep the old patina in good shape.
I was wondering that, and I think you might be right, but that chunk of gear was pretty close to the flywheel. It was interesting to do anyhow. Thanks for the comment.
I thought about that but everything down there is pure iron and the magnet was going to stick to everything and i had no way of knowing if i was getting everything out. Good question.
Ha! That right there has hit the nail right on the head. I was really good for about three weeks! Sort of... I mean, i can't feel the bone moving around in there when i walk now, so I must be healed!
Bus, six to eight weeks gets you to the point where you don't need the boot. It will be eight to twelve months before the bone is completely healed and remodeled. Please be gentle with that foot in the near term.
Thank you so much for this information. I really appreciate it. I am not moving around with anything but the boot at this point. I should take it easier these next few weeks. Thank you. I have a apt with an orthopedic surgeon on tuesday as a follow up. Ill probably get a picture inside again and share it here.
@@BusHuxley I smashed my left leg up pretty badly in June 2017 and it still has some lingering issues, but has certainly been fully healed for 6 months or so. I had a bunch of screws and a rod in the tibia, but was able to walk, painfully, at about 12 weeks. At no point was the boot really making it so I could walk [I dropped it at maybe 8-10 wks.], so I'm sure you'll be much better off. Probably running in another month or two! The medical community was not very forthcoming on predictions, so I remember the stress of "not knowing" all too well.

Thanks so much for the kind word sir! I really appreciate them.
That was Amazing how you bought that old tractor back to life.i know these videos not updated but I am enjoying them you are awesome.

Thank you so much for that. Indeed i did intend for the pun, and I am so glad you caught it.
That was extremely satisfying to watch!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. I never know with these, and so long in the editing and all that.

Thank you so much! And thank you for the use of the starter and a tour of the shop the other day! Give a text when your swinging by. -11 this am!
Wow you sure made that look easy Great job
Thanks! It kinda was easy. I mean, a concrete floor and heated garage would have made it easy.
Good morning Bus!

Mark when I was building houses I always said that an architect should have to build a house before they design one.
@@MCBWoodworks I agree Applied learning is the way to go. Take care.
Thanks a lot!
And a logger should spend a few days at the mill before going into the woods! I have learned so much from that process.
Well that was fun to watch! Very cool!
Thanks a lot! I got a video of the forks today that Ill upload and not publish but send you the link to.
Awesome Thank you!!!!
At least Yours is painted the right color. Some Guy on TH-cam has one that has a Red Engine and transmission and it is a 9 N, but painted like an 8 N.
There is a 2002 Cub Cadet lawn tractor for sale here that is junk because the main hydrostatic pump went. It makes me sad to see that happen. Much better to be able to repair it as you did
Isn't it crazy what it takes to make something not worth fixing these days? Phones get dirty and its time for the heap! Thanks for the comment.

That was cooler than James Dean the way it worked out.
Man! Thanks a lot for that one sir. I always aim for that level of cool. Not there quite yet!
Now I know more about my 39 9n. Thank you
That is exactly what i am going for. Thanks for saying that.
Did I miss the replacement of the broken part that you took out?
The gear that split and was rattling around in unwanted places was part of the starter motor. You can see the new part go in at 17:15. Pulling the tractor apart was required to get the trashed bits out not the new piece in.
I wasn't too clear about that part!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this!

It sounds like You need a new Battery or bigger battery cables.
Wasn't that the starter gear?
Where is your general location?
Is the ford useful in your endeavors?
Is that all the tractor 🚜 you use the 2n and the backhoe?
Thanks
City slicker

killer video, thanks!
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it.

Fluid film on the hood is a good idea. I use Kroil too. To swap a motor as a kid, you've prepared yourself for a wild world. Thanks for the comment.
Nice !!!!
Thanks!
No need to split. Plenty of room for those small parts in there. Will not hurt a thing.
I was wondering that, and I think you might be right, but that chunk of gear was pretty close to the flywheel. It was interesting to do anyhow. Thanks for the comment.
bonjour , how may tractor you have .
Now, i have two. A 1946 Ford 2N and a 1979 Ford 3600 diesel with a loader. I had three until a month ago when i sold the big red 1957 Ford 641.
Couldn't you just remove the starter and fish the broken pieces out with a magnet?
I thought about that but everything down there is pure iron and the magnet was going to stick to everything and i had no way of knowing if i was getting everything out. Good question.
Use a shielded magnet
🤓is there anything u can't do??? I know! U can't stay off that foot, can u?🙄😆😆😆
HAHAHA!!!

Seals im guessing died
It was just too damn cold one day and the brittle metal of the starter gear exploded!
