This video is just another example of how to do things right. Time goes so fast while watching them. Thanks for all your hard work and making videos too.
At your day job I would bet you have customers request only you touch there vehicle . For thirty four years I ran my shop and tried though not always accomplished that kink of detailed approach to working on vehicles and most customers were happy to pay extra for it. Keep up the good work
The Super M looks great and is coming along nicely. Thanks for sharing this journey with us. Between your channel and Kenny Kizzle’s, I am seeing a lot of Farmall red. 🇺🇸🚜👍
I love to see a person refurbish such old things with the finesse it takes to make sure everything, regardless how big or small, are properly covered. That is exactly how I do things, and it is rare to see others do such detail. Bravo sir, Bravo...
She's looking good! It'll go quickly, now! Well, everything but the radiator studs that is! (They are always a pain on the H and M series). One thing to note - the clutch can be removed from the belly without splitting on the H and M, but NOT on the Super M with the 12" Rockford clutch (noted be the suffix "J" on the serial tag). The Rockford clutch must be removed by splitting the tractor.
@@squatch253 Yessir - that is about the procedure... And I have done it AT LEAST 3 times between the H and M. Not much room to work in either one, but I thought the M was a little better just because there is a little more room to work inside the clutch housing. Can't wait to see the Super M up and running.
Really enjoy watching the detail you go into to bringing the m back to life. Awesome job. And to think this all started with an engine knock. One thing I'm not sure you and Senior have considered is how jealous will the h be when she sees her for the first time. Lol
Imagine Squatch as a IH QC inspector back when these tractors were first made. LOL. They would have lasted forever without having to do anything to them .
I have a question, why not use large flat washers under the bolts and nuts for the primary drive coupler? It would reinforce those steel retainers and not allow them to erode or deteriorate or crumble???
Are you sure that the four tapered bolt interface with the eight rubber "bumpers" is for vibration dampening? Is it possible that it is used to take out slight misalignment between the engine (crank) and transmission (input shaft)? It would be difficult to control all the castings involved for proper alignment, and again difficult to machine those differences out given the distances involved. At the risk of youtube quarterbacking, not having seen that joint in person, it does not seem like it would reduce the radial or revolving power pulses produced by the engine. As a side note some relatively high tech equipment produced in the same era had difficulty maintaining alignments over similar distances when machining castings over similar distances which led to various problems as tooling wore.
Just hang that hunk of money on the front of that rear end, for all the greenbacks that hunk of metal hanging there cost it is awfully red. Looking good as usual. Just think how good it is going to look out there with the loader on it moving snow this winter.
Hate to disagree with you Squatch, but I don't think it is possible to change the clutch release bearing on the Farmall Super M without disconnecting the engine and pulling it forward.
I think it's possible via means of uncoupling the yoke to the transmission shaft where the rubber grommets are. Then the shaft would be able to drop down and pulled out. That's what i see anyway....50/50 chance I'm right/wrong.
From the I&T manual (shortened): Remove all the release bearing hardware, disassemble the u-joint, unbolt the pressure plate, then bring the shaft etc. out the access hole. Early 11-inch M clutch will also come out the hole. Late 12-inch Super M clutch disc will come out along with shaft and release bearing, but you have to split the tractor to get the 12-inch pressure plate out.
@@squatch253 I stand corrected. I should not have questioned your knowledge. I forgot to add. You and senior are doing a great job and I love your videos. Looking forward to seeing it run. Stay safe.
Toby, Its assembly time! Let the fun begin. Is your and Seniors health ok? Seen you both had the masks on while Senior was out helping. Cant wait to see your rebuttal to all the questions on how to replace the bearing later
Love the details you give and demonstrate; you have the soul of a teacher. Do you suppose we could have your slightly randy co-worker and field co-conspirator stop by and pretend to touch some of your still tacky paint work so you could document that world-famous twitching eye for posterity??? I suppose we could try to recruit Senior to be the Twitch instigator but my guess he just doesn't have it in him to even pretend to do something that sacreligious!!!!!😉😉😉
Looking great. A lot of work and patience. So, you mention paint touch up on some things, after it’s together. From the factory, would they be already painted, the cotter pins, stuff like that, or would they touch up stuff too. I doubt if they would do touch ups , but just wondering. Thanks for the videos.
At the factory, the chassis and engine would have all been assembled before painting. Then the sheet metal parts which were painted separately would have been installed. Then the wheels and tires would be installed before rolling off the line.
Nice work! But was it not just today that you should have upgraded your Super M to a Super M TA. In a box in the warehouse you must have a "Torque Amplifier" lying around :-)
Squatch253 you are making me want to restore my allis chalmers wc if you saw that tractor in my videos you would probably died of uncontrollable eyetwitchimg
Yes. You unbolt the clutch pressure plate and tilt it all out. The later 12-inch pressure plate won’t come out the access hole, but the early 11-inch clutch can be swapped without splitting the tractor.
Forgive me, is it just the light, or does that color look more like Allis-Chalmers orange? Or creamsicle? I always thought Farmall red was a very ruby-rich red. Or was this the original color? Is it just the light? Beautiful build and meticulous treatment as always. Thank you for all you do.
You just watched a video where the guy is going to go back and "touch up" an unpainted cotter pin and you have the nerve to ask if he used the right paint?? I believe you need to watch this channel more often!
@@paulcopeland9035 I agree with you entirely, and felt shame upon asking this. I've been here breathlessly watching every episode on all subjects for the last two or three years. I love what these guys do and how they do it, but I had uncles with Farmall's and didn't recall this shade. That's why i figured it must be the lighting. I apologize. I've been a part of three full rotisserie restorations on late 60's Mopars, and realize the meticulous effort required for a good outcome. The paint job, prep, and mechanical work speaks for itself.
@@squatch253 Thank you and please forgive me. I recall the Glyptal application on internals, and the primer application. I was thinking and hoping it was probably just the light. I love Farmall red. I worked on my uncles' farms during the summers back in the 1960's growing tobacco, and one of them had two Farmall's, which I can still picture parked in the tractor shed. He had an M and an A as I recall, and a Cub for cultivating the garden. The other uncle used Fords. I'm still partial to both of them. Thank you for all you do.
I remember the first time I split a JD industrial with loader and b-hoe it was over 30years old at the time it took most of a week to get it broke down because of Alkali corrosion and broken seized Fasteners that machine had every problem possible and getting the equipment together necessary to support those parts as they were removed. That tractor belonged to a government agency and everytime new or repainted equipment was seen by taxpayers the doard would get deluged with complaints about wasting money, so no paint! Or patch work paint so it looks at least as old as it was.
Not such terrific stress at the crankshaft, before all the gearing. Good metallurgy there; they had more trouble in those days with broken axle shafts. The design still works after 70 years.
Squatch that's special times you and Squatch senior get to spend together restoring the old M. That's memories for many years to come!!!!
It's on TH-cam...memories forever!
@@haydenc2742 true that my friend. Also thank you for your service my friend!!!
It's simply a thing of beauty. IMHO, the attention to detail you're doing is "show quality" work even if you don't think so.
Sweating unpainted threads on a "just a tractor" paint job. This is why I stay here.
On TH-cam it is fully ok to be nerdy so you do not feel alone😂
That is a damn pretty tractor you are growing there. It may not be the home stretch, but the home stretch is in sight. God bless you all.

My mom was from Minnesota, "Just a Skosh" was a standard unit of measurement in our house growing up.
Just a skosh! Lol. We also don't say "excuse me" when bumping into someone... It is generally, "Ope, sorry 'bout that." LOL
@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch, hey Kenny!
@@mattthescrapwhisperer hey, Matt!

The Super M looks great and is coming along nicely. Thanks for sharing this journey with us. Between your channel and Kenny Kizzle’s, I am seeing a lot of Farmall red. 🇺🇸🚜👍
He may finish before the H is done. It is looking really good, though!!
Your attention to detail is remarkable!
I want you for my next tractor restoration!
Also you explain everything so well!
Go big red!

Love the restoration work you and your father do impeccable details great job
Shows how much easier a job can be done when all the nuts an bolts are cleaned up first 👍
How'd you come up with the name Squatch253
Another great video. Glad you are taking care of each other by wearing masks when you are close. You all are top shelf folks. 😄👍
What a nice job when things fit like a glove and all new parts. That baby ought to run great for years and years...Like your detail workmanship

Looking very nice. It will be good to have it back out working again.
I've never seen a tractor taken apart and reassembled before. I always assumed it was similar to a car or truck. Thanks!
Coming together nicely and looking great. Very much looking forward to hearing her run and pushing snow soon.👍👍
Congratulations you have both reached a montemental moment with those major parts now back together.
I am SO living my tractor dreams through you. Boy is she looking great!
can be tricky creeping the hoist down e v e r s o s l i g h t l y - good job there senior!
Really enjoy watching the detail you go into to bringing the m back to life. Awesome job. And to think this all started with an engine knock. One thing I'm not sure you and Senior have considered is how jealous will the h be when she sees her for the first time. Lol
Now that is a proper restoration .. Very well done guys !!!
Very nice job buddy stay safe 🚜 love y'all's video's
Looking good and proceeding nicely! You two make a great team. I’m enjoying this series. Looking forward to seeing her earn her keep once again. 😎👍👏
Just a working tractor? I have seen show tractors that don't even come close.
Thanks again for your update.
I could watch you two guys work together all day nice work keep the great videos coming red power 💪💪
Great vid, fun seeing tractor go together your way, first class operation going on over there....
Starting to look like a tractor again...and a WELL restored tractor at that! Great job!!!!
Awesome content, love seeing new parts go together. This is a first class channel, and that’s why it’s so enjoyable to watch.
It's getting so exciting to see it all coming back together again great video guys.
Make sure the reverse idler has the gears in the proper positions so you don't have the problem that Kenny had with grinding. LOL Great video!!!!!
It's starting to look like a tractor! Very nice! Thanks.
Imagine Squatch as a IH QC inspector back when these tractors were first made. LOL. They would have lasted forever without having to do anything to them .
sweet work by propositional mechanics..keep up the good work, be safe and see you guys on the next one..!!
Well done you didnt forget that bolt.
Looking awesome you guys.👍🏼👍🏼
IHC is going to be calling you two for restoration quotes before long. 🤔👍👍👌💯💯
Great team work hanging the engine
Almost ready to hit the field! Sure hope the knock is gone. :-)
its coming along good Squatch thanks for the update
" I won't twitch anymore now that they are all in a row" too funny !
I have a question, why not use large flat washers under the bolts and nuts for the primary drive coupler? It would reinforce those steel retainers and not allow them to erode or deteriorate or crumble???
Just really great to see that FARMAL back together. Very exiting. :-)
Great Job the tractor is really coming along nicely ! i always enjoy your videos keep up the fine work .
Looking good. Cant wait for the test run
Toby remind viewers to like your videos it will help new viewers to find you.
Great progress! Look forward to all 4 wheels on the ground

Great project, I’ve watched every video. I don’t know what the plan is electrical but I hope you consider converting it to 12 volt. 👍
Just hang that hunk of money on the front of that rear end, for all the greenbacks that hunk of metal hanging there cost it is awfully red. Looking good as usual. Just think how good it is going to look out there with the loader on it moving snow this winter.
Man we got a lot of work done today. And by we I mean you.
Can’t wait to hear it run
Looking forward to the start up!
I know it's going to be AWESOME.
Has to feel good thats it going back together 👍
I liked your Oliver t-shirt Squatch253 !! Yep, I’m an Oliver fan.
Thanks!
Looking Great!!!!
You are doing a great job with this channel, it’s become a most see
Hate to disagree with you Squatch, but I don't think it is possible to change the clutch release bearing on the Farmall Super M without disconnecting the engine and pulling it forward.
I’d love to see how it’s done.....
Thats what i was gonna say. Not sure if you could pull that input shaft straight back enough to get it out of the clutch
I think it's possible via means of uncoupling the yoke to the transmission shaft where the rubber grommets are. Then the shaft would be able to drop down and pulled out. That's what i see anyway....50/50 chance I'm right/wrong.

You keep putting out videos like this, I'll keep coming back. The only way to get rid of me is to ...... ( I'm not going to give you ideas )
And again you answered my question in the last video in this video
looking real good squatch253
How awesome would it be if Junior purchased an Oliver 4WD with Detroit Diesel 2Stroke!!!
Another 3 or 4 videos and they'll have that completely back together and running!
She be back together and running soon.
Very nice
Are you not tempted to run over the bare metal inside the bellhousing with an oily rag to resist rust?
Coming along nice . Will be running before you know it. .😊😊👍👍👍👍🍵🍵🍵🍵🌎🌞
Toby,
Its assembly time! Let the fun begin.
Is your and Seniors health ok?
Seen you both had the masks on while Senior was out helping.
Cant wait to see your rebuttal to all the questions on how to replace the bearing later
He wears the masks to keep dad safe.. squatch has contact with too many outside people
Masks are required so we don't kill another 200k people in the next six months.
Nice job
Sweet! You still have a ways to go but every video you are getting closer. In real time you probably have it running by now or almost running.
Love the details you give and demonstrate; you have the soul of a teacher.

Looks really good . Next step we need to hear run. I beleave there is a lots of steps to go before we get hear it run.
Cool shirt!
I see the throw out bearing spring found its home again on takedown it was on the left side as you look at it from the front
Would it be possible to get the part number for the input shaft rubber isolators and washers? I am having difficulty finding it. Thank you
Is it going to be a working tractor or a show piece ? Or both?
i'm heading to L and m later today , i'll check out the paint there

That’s a totally different (and longer) clutch housing with second clutch for the TA. Bet it’s tough to find one of those lying around.
Bring “first” is still a thing? Hmmmm. Anyway I can’t wait until you fire this thing up for the first time. It’s coming along nicely, Squatch and Sr.

HiToby. I have no idea how you can get that bearing out without splitting the tractor. Must be Squatch magic. BobUK.
Robert Hawtin It can be done. I’ve done it on my model H Farmall.
Yes. You unbolt the clutch pressure plate and tilt it all out. The later 12-inch pressure plate won’t come out the access hole, but the early 11-inch clutch can be swapped without splitting the tractor.
