- Rescuing this tractor was one of our BEST ideas!!! It has come in handy around our property countless times and it’s only getting better! Picking up heavy stuff will be easier now with the added RV antifreeze in the rear tires and DANG he looks handsome with the VGG wipe on clear!

Aaron, the alternator puts out ac voltage. Put your meter on ac voltage. The regulator/rectifier turns it to dc voltage.
You should have two wires from alternator with ac voltage going into regulator plug and one 12 volt dc coming out of regulator to battery circuit.
Make sure that regulator is grounded in mounting. In other words clean mounting.
Aaron is totally correct buying an older tractor. The pricing on new stuff even before the recent inflation is insane. Also he is correct on the older mechanical pump style tractors. Easier to work on, not choked off by egr and other emissions devices and computer control. Also the older stuff is built heavier in a lot of cases and will hold up longer than most of us will be here. You are married to a VERY talented man and should be really proud. He is also willing to say when he's not sure and needs to learn and research. Enjoying the videos as always. Keep enjoying life and one another.
I so agree, this year I bought my first tractor and I wanted a Kubota but wow I couldn’t believe the prices.
I started looking at used tractors and just needed a 4wd mower for just 1 acre of mowing on a steep hill. After searching I was seeing that the small mowers were just as expensive as the bigger ones. Well not really big but big for mowing a small yard. lol I ended up buying a 34HP 1988 Kubota L2850 and it’s just a simple reliable tractor. I absolutely love it.
Another neat episode with Aaron jokes included for free. The close up shots of engine work with your camera were crystal clear and helped to give a better understanding of what Aaron was explaining. You both work so great together and having young people included was a good bonus. Just pure entertainment.
There we go! That’s the Arron I think of, so awesome watching him swing that hammer!!!! So happy that you have healed up so well and your recovery has come so far. Good to see you in your strength again 💪🏻👍🏻
The two blue wires off the alternator are AC not DC. The box isn’t a regulator, but a rectifier that converts AC to DC. Sooooooo you can see if you have AC on the blue wires without the rectifier. If so your alternator is good, then check your rectifier wiring as it might not be the same.
Just watched part 1 n 2.30 minutes ago, browsed for a part 3 and nothing. 2 minutes later this was uploaded. What in the world??? Thank you for your mega quick customer service.
Just as long as we can see yall's beautiful faces and keep pumping out great content, all gearheads can relate to anything no matter the video quality.
Lookin' pretty spiffy, he cleaned up good. Nice job.
Regarding stabilization on the Sony I think you’ll find a lot of people use a gimbal with those cameras to increase stability vs say a Lumix camera (and iPhone for that matter) which have better stability from the start. That said, the Sony is still a lovely camera 🤓
Aaron, weld up a double U bracket that fits between one end of the draw bar and a lift arm that keeps the draw bar from rotating in the lift arm swivel balls. Otherwise when you pull a trailer with a ball hitch, the draw bar will rotate and put tremendous prying force on the hitch lock.
True words
Arron had a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face when the word Tractor was said. Lovin it! 😍😎
i love watching people struggling with tractor tires
Fun video to watch..Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here I love the older equipment its way more durable, dependable and easier to work on.
From an old man,you should have used a cut off wheel to cut the bead on the tire,it makes it a lot easier to get crusty old tires off.
Check your fuse block it's self
I think i would have painted the toolbox green first , tractor looks good for its age now
Aaron's sense of humour is on point 👌 as a brit i very much appreciate the dry humour 😂😂
Hey thanks for the video. When you fill the tires you should put the valve stem at 2 clock and fill it then put the valve stem at 12 then air it up
Saw a video, that a guy had trouble keeping his camera stable. He made a hat for a chicken and mounted his camera on that, even flying in a boat the camera stayed stable. Lol guess the chicken had built in stableizing muscle in its neck, sounds crazy but it worked for him.
Dawn duck soap - "for a Deere", made me laugh.😅
love your channel and all your projects , and Aaron's sense of humor is on point.
It's so neat seeing Aaron back working strong and getting better as he goes on in his recovery.
You both are looking really good with your lifestyle changes. I don’t want to say that you glow, but your color is richer. Good stuff in makes for a good looking outside.
I like the pump attachment. It sure made filling the tire easier.
Yes to ALL OF THIS!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I want to make a suggestion. Find a convenient location next to your work area and dig a square hole about 16” WX 16” W X 3’ deep and place 4”X4” form in the center. The 4X4 honey hole is so a 2/4 post will fit. Be sure to put reinforcements wire in and fill with concrete. This is great for all kind of uses, like work table, umbrellas and yes even a tire changer tool.LOL
Central California watching
Im.with aaron I will never buy anything new it's so nice to be able to work on the stuff we own. And it so nice to see Aaron coming back strong!!!!
Forget the cameras just keep making your videos. All will come together in time. 🙏🙏
Love the video and love you guys! Thanks for the video!
All I care about is audio quality and yours is great
Man that was InTents..... Lmao, I was just thinking how I would have smashed the rim twice already , then he hits it. We used to put a 4x6 post on it then drive a truck up on the post.
FYI when Aaron is snacking on them, they are called Reeves-ses peanut butter cups hahahaha love ya Dream Reevers
Please let the kid know that we wish her a happy birthday with many more to come.
Hade calcium to the back tires
I agree with you on fixing up the older JD, it's a classic and needs to be in service. I could really relate with you guys when you were taking the tire off the rim. My JD is smaller than yours and I really struggled when I changed both of my front tires. I was on my own and it was really hard on my spirituality! 🙃 I am sure that tractor will serve you well for many years to come. Thanks for taking us along.
Awesome blog as usual, and you guys are far from getting old. I am 68 and when I walk I snap crackle and pop like a bowl of rice crispies. Love you guys. You guys are doing an awesome job with the camera.
To be honest I like the camera too the pictures better just being honest I still love y'all's videos
Perfectly imperfect…. That’s the entire theme of my new build 😂
Tagged ya on it on IG.
thank you for the deere talk and trouble shooting guidelines. Way to go
27 minutes is when I break out the sawzall on any tire older than 10 years.
Also, your trailer jack is a great bead breaker on those heavy tires.
The Sony camera. But like all things in live. What best work for you
I started working at a gas station that was also the Farm Bureau store at the age of 14. We sold a lot of tires, batteries, etc, and doing a full size tractor tire is no joke, filled with water would add 400 lbs per tire.
Definitely like the Sony images
Could have used your 2 post lift to push the tyre down to break the bead mate, good job!
You guys are very humble and I like that!
Getting kids involved now will help them immeasurably when they are older. Fantastic.
You need to give the 2 XL shirt size viewers a call when you go tires we can sit on the tires for you. You guys do a nice job of working together props to you both
Try this hack for breaking tire beads line up the edge of the bed and lower your car lift down onto the tire it will separate it from the eim . I have used this hack several times and it works excellent
Emily you are a trooper helping with the tire take off you are such a gem
Hi guys great tractor you have to unplug alternator then test ac out put if memory serve me should be around 30. Usually it the regulator if you remove it and it bad you should see where it got hot through the epoxy on the back side.
That’s exactly the reason I have my old Kubota. Wanted one like grandpas, and same with my old school Toyota 4x4 pickup
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed you guys and the tractor tire. Watched it three times. Pure enjoyment
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
I love it! “I’ve got to get some more knowledge in my brain” Love the videos, thank you.
I really enjoyed this upload. Thanks for sharing.
I like the camera myself. Loved the video as usual. Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving and a merry Christmas.
Sure appreciate you!!! Enjoy this wonderful holiday season upon us, lots to be grateful for! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your niece Emily has grown up so much since the First videos and you could just tell she's very very polite and she's a good kid
She sure is!!!
Done quite a few tractor tires on the farm, all hydroflated. I use the garden hose and my well pump a hose Y , a 1/4 " plastic hose, it slips over the tire valve stem, and a gas line clamp to keep it on the stem , a female hose connector on the other end. I have the pump on the hose Y supply , when the tire is tight with air, I shut off the pump, open the free Y connector to evacuate the air . Of course the tire valve at the highest point. Using antifreeze instead of calcium chloride sounds smart, it could get expensive with large tires. I hydroflate both fronts too.
Hey guys, remember. New means new, doesn’t always mean good.
So what I love about your channel, and I hope it reaches young audiences, it your and Arron’s relationship. You are basically the couple that people dream of from a young age.
Sure do appreciate that!!!
Love the tractor content.
I have a 950. Great tractor. Super reliable and easy to wrench on
You need to shine juice that old Coke cooler next !
What a great job ! Going to try that with my 650 perhaps..
The thing about the people you see buying these older tractors is a lot of them actually have enough saved to buy a new tractor, and it’s these kinds of decisions that got them there. When you see people with all the new tractors and trucks everywhere that’s when you know they’re spending everything they make trying to keep up with all of their monthly payments. Always think long term, if you can’t buy it you don’t need it.
Thank you both - you all work hard but truly enjoy each other and it comes through. So years ago, helping swap a tractor tire......we're trying to get the new tire on and I thought, "If I step on the inside of the tire, that'll push it onto the wheel". It worked, of course my foot was caught like a bear in a trap! 😂. Thanks for bringing us along ~ Chuck
Well I can tell which piece of equipment will be showing up in the shop next and that’ll be one of those tire breakdown rigs, I was watching this and thinking yup there goes Aaron’s back, luckily that wasn’t the case. The tractor turned out nice with the shine juice, and as others have mentioned it’s not bad having old stuff as long as it’s well maintained old stuff.
That was fun , good work you guys
Then the bear again, then a picture of a tent, then a picture of Joe dirt. Then a pick of two guys sitting down across a tiny table. One older man with gray hair and one younger man with black hair.
I agree with you on tractor not knocking, people need to know what they are talking about before saying anything
Looks great guys!! Always nice to have something you can actually work on.
What also helps is watching all the ads the whole way through for greater ad revenue. I do it. Then again, I was a 70's child, we had no choice but to watch the commercials.
You are the MAN.
Talk about an awesome personal garage. You're working on a 1982 Deere while in the background on the corner of a bench sits a bright shiny BDS Blower! Thats what I call being versatile. You all rock.
Happy 12th birthday to the Kid!
like the way you changed the tire next time use dish soap on the bead to dismount the tire i use it all the time it works
The John Deere historical site in Grand Detour Illinois where in 1836 he built his blacksmith shed. He built many items, and the first steel plow there.
ps. Byron Dragstrip is just up the road.👍✌️❤️ you guys.
Now you need to Wire Brush the interior of that wheel, make sure the bead is smooth and clean, big pita changing one of those!
Great job y'all!! I used to have a JD 750 I have the technical manual for both the 650/750. If you want I can send it to you guy's. Just let me know.
That would be awesome!
Shoot us an e-mail, please! Flyingsparksgarage@gmail.com
That nice lift and a 6×6 block of wood could really help you with tire mounting and dismounting!
The kid's 'for a deere' pun had me rollin. Tractor is coming along awesome! I'd never heard of putting antifreeze in the tires, cool idea!
I'm pretty sure that poor little deer never had so much tlc as with you guys ! 😂 This video was FUN !
You guys did a great job on the tractor looks so good it's fun to take something off and make it look good again
Very happy to see you both in the shop and enjoying the work. I was raised from a young age fixing and repairing things myself. Thank you for sharing all yourknowledge. From one fellow Texan to another. Love you guys
She looks brand new used the old John Deere looks brand new it looks good guys y'all did a good job
Really sharpened up the looks of the JD. Good job.
RE: Bronco: “It’s just a tool to me’ …she is a pretty “tool”. Us men have lots of “tools that are pretty” 😉…which makes us one of the most worthless tools 🤣. Love the tractor videos…many of us can relate to memories and roots originating from farming and the implements with being on the farm or with grandparents. The first tractor my older brother drove was a Ford 9N…mine was an Oliver 880 but that was only a loaner while the Oliver 770 was getting some service that we didn’t have time for in the middle of wheat/oat harvest and baling. Our run around utility tractor was a Farmal H…so that was the one ran most often when younger even though not the most hours on. So a Farmall and Oliver are connected to me and I almost despise a 9N (must just be the older sibling thing lol)…speaking to the small loader tractor…I remember the day we picked up the first skid steer on the far…it was a game changer and the loader after that had multiple seasons of not even being attached.
The tractor looks great! I also bought an older John Deere tractor/ lawn mower as I got injured at work and needed to ride rather than push a lawn mower. Couple problems with it, figured them out and it is back working. Have a great holiday and looking forward to more episodes!
Using the duck soap on the deer. That was so cool😊
Great reminder that your arms were injured not that long ago! You are doing Great!
Wow looks real good, to bad about that rusted tail pipe...lol great job...
Thanks y'all , ya made me smile again .
Tell the kid happy birthday.
Tractor Supply. Where you can buy everything except an actual tractor (lawnmowers don't count).
Went for a ride on my buddy's fishing boat. When he fired it up, the coffee can that protected the exhaust pipe shot straight up and came down to hit me in the head. I think it was a welcoming tradition. ;-)
Gee wiz that clear coat product worked a treat. Great work guy’s
Dang that probably added 2000 dollars to the value
A few years ago I bought a John Deere 430 Garden tractor with a 3 cylinder Yanmar engine to restore. It was from 1984 too and I cut about about a million acres of grass through High School at an amusement park on a John Deere 318, So I always loved them. I took my 430 far enough apart to replace seals and hydraulic hoses brakes, belts, clutches etc, I know there was more. and after I drove all over the state of Kansas sourcing parts (I wanted it original) I painted and powder coated everything and replaced tires. I put an original sticker kit back on it and it was done. I really wanted a front end loader and that;s the only thing I never found, at least worth buying and I had a purpose for one when I started. I sed it for a while on a few things and eventually sold it. I went to John Deere and looked at some of their 20 hp tractors with loaders and they were $21k plus another thousand for taxes. I almost pulled the trigger and am so glad I didn't. I went the N Korean route! I think every single one comparable had way higher capacity and no aluminum transmissions and read differentials. All cast. I ended up buying a TYM T 264, 24.8 hp 4x4 front end loader and I needed a tiller. It has a Kukje engine which almost quashed the deal just hearing the name. Turns out made by Cummins since 1954 ish and the fuel system is ALL mechanical. I pulled the trigger and all in it was $18k's including tax. So far I LOVE it and i tried to stay loyal and American and all that, but they were just to proud of a lesser product. Oh and I think the warranty on everything is 7 years. Good video, first time viewer!
I'm 72 now and I love old Tractors. Grew up on a farm using old tractors. We still have our 1st tractor. A 1946 Farm All Cub and it still runs. And we crank it with the old hand crank.
A tip for putting on big tires is use a C-clamp to keep the tire from sliding around the rim
Emily!!
Two questions: What's up with the grill/bumber being off the black Ford - what'cha doing to it?
AND - What is your pressure washer, is that thing electric??
Love all the Tractor episodes!!!
Hi!
The grille is off the OBS because we’re working on installing a bunch of Banks Performance parts on it!!!!
The power washer came from Lowe’s, yes it’s electric! We like it pretty well!
Seriously yous have to come to Ontario Canada for an event and meet n greet! Yall have more fans than you know!! ❤❤
Happy Birthday kiddo
Tractor Family 🎉 use the camera that makes your work editing easier. Both are great.
