    Great video Ross. I always loved doing spring maintenance. Just a great reminder of what is to come weather wise. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Always fun to watch your videos, enjoy the comments because you usually say what we all think. You sure do have a lot of projects going, good to see a young man staying busy, just kidding, or not! Have a good one.😄

    Never ending list of sadness...with some bright spots highlighted with your ongoing commentary. With current grain prices, not promising to be a year of huge profits. Guess we'll have to make do and preserve what is in working condition!!! As my wife used to say regarding parts prices "is it made of gold" LOL

    More importantly there was an ad for Nicoma Park Lumber Co on here which is right down the road from me in Nicoma Park Oklahoma USA! Remember folks don’t skip the ads, Ross gets a piece of that revenue which supports the channel. 👍🏻

    I'd try a 4DLT battery in the old girl. I bet it would get you pretty close to the length and width of the double battery setup.

  • @super6954
    @super6954 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for the video, It's a shame the 12v version of those batteries for the other tractor are only half the cranking amps of the 6v ones you have, they'd fit right in but I'd bet it wouldn't start very well when the sun went behind the clouds. When i do wet sleeves during rebuilds I made a puller with a thick washer to go in the bottom of the sleeve then a 1" ready rod and a large pipe with a cross bar to pull them from the top. The last one I did was a 466 in a grain truck, i got fed up of getting in and out of the cab on my own, so made a new puller with the pull washer on a hinge so it dropped down the bore from the top and when the crank journal was in the right place it would hinge flat and center in the bottom of the sleeve and pull up without getting under the truck, i kinda wish I'd done it before that job it worked so well. To be honest I hate in frames with a passion it's the most half assed way there is to do a motor and get covered in oil and grease , then find 3 weeks later a rear seal or clutch goes out and you're back there again anyway. Take care

    Perhaps try using a floor jack and some piece of wood (4x4) to push the sleeves out? Keep up the good work!

    • @rosstheoliverman
      @rosstheoliverman  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I just sand them off and repaint them, and then order a new set of decals. You can try to clean them up with some light sanding and metal polish but you’ll probably end up wearing most of the decal off by the time you’re satisfied with the color.
