    The firing order for a six reminded me of how I learned it, probably back in the 70's. 1-5 (15), she's too young. 3-6 (36), she's too old. 2-4 (24), she's just right. Just a bit of ancient humor. Take care, Wes.

    Yes sir we have definitely come a long way as to the quality of packing shipments. As a former RPS P&D Contractor I could tell many a story about the short comings in the industry. A lot of customers we had would skimp on the packaging materials and then blame the carrier (RPS, UPS or the USPS for example) for damages when it really boiled down to insufficient packaging (of which the carriers would deny due to improper packaging). As we have progressed and shippers have learned, the art of packaging is quite the science. It can be rather aggravating to unpack stuff due to what may seem as overkill, but getting the items in without damage is the goal.

    Yet another easy way to set valves is to bar the engine over to TDC #1. Set both valves on #1, then #2 intake, #3 exhaust, #4 intake #5 exhaust. Bar engine over to #6 TDC. Set both #6 valves, then #5 intake, #4 exhaust, #3 intake, and #2 exhaust.

    I just finished binge watching all your videos. You have one of the better channels on TH-cam. The content is always worth watching and the editing is exceptional. I especially enjoy the electrical diagnosis videos.
    I started mechanic work in 1977 in West Texas where it rains 15 inches a year and 2 inches from November through March. I’ve never personally experienced a wheel stuck to a rotor, a rotor stuck to a hub, a steel brake line leaking that wasn’t rubbing on something, or a mouse nest in anything . I have had a bull snake come out of a stamped hole in a cotton stripper cab frame and strike at me. But your work on rusty bolts makes me feel like I’m watching a brain surgeon on a soap opera remove a malignant tumor from the President. Please keep the videos coming. I really enjoy you and your good family.

  • @butchbailey8565

    I just can’t believe how any regular mechanic with average skills could take on this job and be successful. It hurts my brain just imagining all the plumbing issues, fuel lines, hose and fitting compatibility Issues to replace solid fuel lines, return lines, cracked brass tees replacement. I’m sure You have a plan B if you can’t get a mechanical lift pump. I am now waiting to see how or where You are going to get replacement rims for a 60 year old tractor and mount new rubber, and what the hub issue that moved is? That old OLIVER GIRL has a new lease on life equipped with rear blade and front detachable loader that makes it versatile for crop work. I’m guessing a new machine would cost between 50 and 75 thousand. Great work Wes and Your experts at Area Diesel that saved this machine from being melted down to make rebar.

    The life hack for pouring is to turn the bottle on its sign and pour.
    It will let air in as it pours.
    That keeps it from surging, glugging, and spilling.

    Hello Wes , tip : to put seal like you did on the driveshaft without special tools you can use a piece of soft plastic from a limonade or milk can . You cut with scissors the side out of the bottle and fold this on the shaft and clamb that with a hoseclamp or tyrip. hape it conical at the beginning of the shaft and grease the plastik. put the seal on teh plastik and push it in her place.You will understand that the plastik must be thin and strong enough, sometime i double the plastik skin for that reason . If the clamb is in the way of the seal change the position of the clamp or make it that is goese with the seal . For the rest you make a fine job keep it going greate respect from Friesland (NL)

    Mornin Wes, sorry I'm late to the show, but you were on your Oliver, I was tackling few items on my MF 135 last couple days.
    On your power steering lines, you can if you need to braze them, are if you can get them clean even use Stay silv flux, and 15% sil-fos if need be, and it actually works very well on steel lines.
    Rated for high psi, so shouldn't be an issue as far as meeting psi rating.
    Just make sure not to get it too hot with either application, and sol-fos should work on your brass block T's as well if you can't find replacements.
    Also once you've brazed the brass, it should be plenty strong enough to crank on it to tighten up your compression fittings on either end too.
    Might need to run a fitting brush through the brass fittings to remove any scale that occurred during the heating process, but that's easily enough done to prevent clogging any injector that might be inline with it.
    Looks like Young man's from Kansas 5 ton, as I don't believe it is a duce n half that I seen in the invisible background there.
    Seems ZZ Top song comes to mind here, something about a invisible 7-11.
    I'll leave it at that.
    Enjoyed the video as always, and my don't you have a nice looking old green tractor for one that needed so much attention.
    LOL, just wish mine ran as well as yours does now.
    Be safe and stay well
    Try yesterday's tractor supply, they have warehouses spread across the country, and they may be able to help you, are Abilene Machine, they have pretty good selection of parts too

      The original fittings were brazed.

    How many modern tractors will still be doing this in 50 years...

      None of them. Those that will not have died from electronic failure and total unavaillability of spare computer parts will have died because their thin sheet metal will have rusted away, their plastic will be eaten by the sun and their small displacement, high manifold pressure engines will be worn out beyond repair.

      As long as there are still at least two, we can probably keep one running...

    I like that pressure washer from the pre plastic age. Looks indestructable.
    What about the Oliver crawler?

      Used to make them for my local council, diesel injector, ignitor and a pump and heating coil for the water. Very effective to use, just be careful on cars as can deform plastics. Electric ones seem to have taken over in depots now.
