Rosewood is the company that has the manifolds
I looked there, but that manifold is made different than mine. I may have no choice but to switch.
@@rosstheoliverman I’m sure they have the 28-44 manifolds friend of mine got one little while ago, but the 90 manifold should bolt right on there
Another awesome video. Excited to see the fixing journey of this tractor and to see it run
Thanks! I can’t wait to hear it either. Then I might have to fix up my threshing machine to use it!!
Thanks for the shout out, Steve. Good news, they let us back in the country!
If you just wait another 2 years, they will be able to 3D print a new manifold. If you wait another 4 years, you will be able to afford it. If you wait another 6 years, it will be illegal to own it. good luck
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Steve!!
Hey Ross what year is that old dinosaur? Very nice. 👍
I’m not exactly sure as the serial number tag is missing. But it seems to be an early one so that would put it around the early 30s
Ñeed to try 50/50
Acetone/ATF never tried it myself but heard many chicken goat and cow. noises approved
🤣 I’ll have to try that
I would say check with Biewer's Tractor Salvage in Barnesville, Mn. (pronounced Beaver's, its German!) I have used them for parts for a number of years, they have a pretty big salvage yard specializing in older stuff like your Hart Parr. I have seen while exploring their yard several Hart Parr tractors over the years, complete and parts units. I have wanted to buy a couple of them but lack the space and time to work on one for now.
I’ve seen them advertise! I figured they would be the place to call.
@@rosstheoliverman they also do Facebook auctions several times a week. I'm a sucker for antique tools, old advertising, nick-nacks, farm toys, etc.... I have to drive out to them a few times a year to pick up my goodies!
A good machinist could easly replicate that crank piece for you with some tubing and a piece of plate...
Yeah, it’s looking more and more like that’s what I’m gonna have to do. Thanks Johnny!
🚜🧑🏽🔧👍👍
Thanks Tom!!
Would love to hear it run and drive !
Me too!!!
Engine is problem 1 but problem 2 will be how packed full of mouse crap is the clutch housing. With the Model A, 90 and 99 we have about a half dozen mice generally come scurrying out of the clutch housing when I go to start them after they have sat. But I guess one problem at a time and if the engine won't go the clutch is the least of your problems. I would guess the ports in the side of the head for the intake and exhause are the same for the 90 and 99 as the 28-44 but I think the intake that bolts to the carb is longer for the ensign versus the shrebler or MS carb.
I was worried about that too, but surprisingly the clutch housing is not full at all. They must’ve had bigger fish to fry or something 🤣
That’s something super special there
Thanks David!
Just came across your channel, I just picked up a Oliver 99.. there should be a spring that holds your paddles together on that carburetor it is tricky to do
Yeah, I need to get back to this project. It’s just been sitting.
@@rosstheoliverman my 99 is seized with the head off been sitting for years I just bought it last week
Is the music your own??? I watched the Christmas video so we know you play the organ.
You try mybac tractor sale for parts
I get some stuff from there.
Look like somebody used a grinder in the upper pulley by the White and you can see the Knicks in the top pulley their looks like they use the grinder like I said
Hey how about building a exhaust pipe
That’s the next step. First fix manifold.
Oh man, that 28-44 is a beauty. I can tell from what i see that this tractor has some good bones to her and isn't all beaten up. One big plus is the engine is still free. Great video as always. I can't wait to hear this one come back to life.
Thanks! Yeah, it’s got a lot going for it. I hope it will be a simple fix.
Interesting relic. Should be plenty of surprises ahead.
Thanks Pete! This one is sure to be an adventure
Love the videos, watch em all
Thanks!
Ross...minor progress is better than none at all. Looks like one of those projects you tinker with until you're frustrated, then walk away 'till you get a new brainstorm...then have at it again LOL
That’s kind of why I have so many going on at once. If one aggravates me I can move onto the next one 🤣
Your crank is bent that might be a issue lol. Neat old tractor . From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful
Thanks Earl! The old girl has a lot of issues but I still love her
Am I the only one that can hear that rooster?
I’ve these TH-cam welding guys put cast iron stuff in the charcoal grill to heat it up then weld it and let it cool down with the charcoal. But you probably know or have seen it also.
There’s a guy around here who works on engine heads and he built a furnace so to speak to preheat everything before welding. I may have to try that.
You should preheat it
great video 😊
Thanks!
I can't wait to see that old girl running again. The stories she could tell. Good luck and thank you .
Thanks Keith! It’ll be an adventure
Sorry I can't help you with the parts for your Hart-Parr. My buddy Joe doesn't have parts for them. It'll be interesting to see how this project goes. Would be nice to see it running again. Good luck with it, my friend. Hope you find that manifold.
Thanks Charlie !
Your rooster sounds are quite realistic…..lol
🤣 All natural
Love it Ross
Thanks!!
Ross it looks like the Hart Parr tractor is cooperating with you so far. Thanks Michael
Thanks Michael! So far it’s been better than I thought it would be!
That is sweeeeeeeeet
Cool project! Seems like a parts tractor is what you need!
Yeah, the problem is there’s not many of these tractors in this area. I figure I’ll have to get a hold of someone out West
If you have a good welding shop there they can weld it
Eye appeal? You do need to "love old iron" to see the beauty in this one. A great challenge here; but IF it doesn't work out you can at least part it out to help someone else resurrect their oldie but goodie. Good Luck, though; with some luck it could come together for you. :)
Thanks! I like these big old steel wheeled hunks of iron. It’s a shame so many of them were scrapped, they did a lot of work in their day building this country
Hey just saying why don't you get a try pod. To put the camera on and set it back so we can see a little better that you can you both of your hands to work on sff
I have a tripod I just never remember to use it. But I do like the stick and tape idea 🤣🤣🤣
@@donaldbassett8769 Stick and tape? Nah. Ross would us a rusty coffee can and a rotted 2x4 leaning against a 52 Ford fender.
Hart Parr.... Oldie but Goodie.... just put some Pipe dope on it thatll keep the coolant in
I’m sure after I get everything else sorted out that will start leaking 🤣
Have to hand it to you Ross, you are the king of using tools inappropriately!
No matter what you have in your hand, you always have a hammer
And it's been said that anything is a hammer if you use it wrong enough.
@@rosstheoliverman That is trueand I think we are all guilty of it to some degree. The scene that made me think that is the one where you are trying to loosen the rusty hose-clamp with the needle nose vice-grips. Thought, that's not going to work!
Good luck on this one, I hope you can find the parts she needs. She’s a beaut for sure.
Thanks Cory!
Pack it with my weld
That’s probably what’s gonna happen
Is there maybe a valve stuck down and the piston is hitting that
I think it was mainly trash that had gotten wedged between a valve
All a fella really needs is a pair of pliers and a pipe wrench…
With those two things you should be able to fix anything!
That is a cool looking old tractor.👍👍👍👍
I think so too. Thanks Paul !
Is there a hand crank on it
Yes
Well now that you're working on the 28-44 you need to tell Chris that he needs to work on his 18-27. We'll have to see who gets done first lol.
🤣 I almost bought an 18-27 a few years ago. Now I kind of wish I had.
@Ross the Oliver Man I think older tractors like that (Oliver 18-27 and 28-44, John Deere D and GP, Allis E and A, and McCormick Deering 10-20 and 15-30) are just really cool in their own way. It's too bad they cost a lot to restore and maintain. I'd own every one of those I just listed off if it didn't.
Hmmm.... I think hear a challenge
Would it be a tool if you didn’t use it wrong
Not at all. Everything’s a hammer!
I may have a parts tractor that may have everything you need. i will look after while.
Cool! I figured it would be hard to find
@@rosstheoliverman Mine is a 18-28.
Another interesting project!
Thanks!!!
they all ran once
So true!
I know where there’s a whole tractor that was restored but now is stuck.
I’ve seen that happen before too. It’s a shame after all that work but it happens
@@rosstheoliverman This tractor is in loose hands if you’re interested.
@@robertcheatham2891 depends on the cost and location. Shipping is a killer.
@@rosstheoliverman east central Indiana. I’ll see what he will take.
