WOO HOO. Im not to sure that would even keep up with parade speed but would pull all the floats together with no struggle! I luv it. Keep it up 👍 & God bless. Forgot to mention first here lol 😝
Back when steam locomotives we’re in their infancy, someone predicted that one day they’d go as fast as 35 mph. The public reaction to that was, ridiculous, a man wouldn’t be able to breath at that kind of speed. Y’all mind your health when you’re tearin around on that tractor of yours. 😎👍👏
Nice test! I have checked out a few of your other tractor videos over the last few weeks and I decided to subscribe 👍 these Predator 212 engines are great work horses. I have one I installed about 3 years ago in a old quad and converted it to a small quad truck, I always think it’s funny how people always tell me I need a bigger engine in it even though it can haul 500 lbs of gravel and move large loads of firewood around just fine. I think some people just can’t understand gearing and how much work you can do with 6.5 HP 👍 I’m now in the process of building a 4x4 articulating dump truck and I’m powering it with the 420cc Predator. Take care
Mike , Your channel is awesome, I've been subbed to it for a few months now. I watched all the quad truck videos, loved how you plasma cut the Jeep like front end. I've watched sawmill vids, predator dirt bike vids, I'm starting to watch the dumptruck series. Bottom line I'm a HUGE Mike Festiva fan , glad you enjoyed my project.
Keyfarm Right on! Thanks for checking out my channel 👍 I’m definitely happy to have come across your channel, I really like seeing people thinking outside of the box and building cool stuff, that tractor you have there is all someone needs for heavy duty work around there property. I will be looking forward to seeing more videos from you 🙂
Like your tractor build . Farmalls always had a pretty high speeded road gear (5th gear) We used to tease the neighbor if that road gear was just for running down hill----- Old farm Boy
Enjoyed your test... crazy, entertaining and creative, I think you are the only creator with a speed test on a small engine modified tractor . Subscribed!
Not boring. I like your tractor. I never thought about an experiment like this but if I had been asked, I would have said it’s a waste of time and effort. That’s not the case at all and I’m impressed in addition to being wrong. I just liked and subscribed to see what else lurks outside your box. Be sure to show us some vids of this old war horse doing some real work to earn her keep. Good job! 😎👍👏
Even in 5th, it didnt seem that the engine was feeling much load. You could probably go down a size or two on the thranny sprocket to get more speed if you wanted to. Get it to bog down in 5th when you start moving and you will still have good pulling gears on the low side. Its definitely a puller. It would be neat to see it hooked to a pulling sled to see what it could do.
Yes your right I remember driving my grandpa's old H to get 5th gear you would hafta be rolling in 4th grade throw it in 5th dump the clutch a couple sputters and you would be flying right out there in the wind can't beat the feeling
Hey thanks for let in know all this information 👍🏽 I have 2 Fordson Major 1 working Rough and the other one not running and is being seating for over 30 years. Good to know 212 can move this old tractor thanks again 👍🏽
I've got an old JD B with a stuck engine, that's about the same HP as the H, I think I saw in an old issue of Farm Show magazine they just ran a belt around the hand clutch pulley and used that to repower it, still resurchin it!
Actually I think your speeds are a little bit faster than calculated. You did the timing from a dead stop which took a second or two to get up to full speed. Rolling by at full speed and starting the clock when you pass the first marker would be more accurate and yield a slightly higher speed. Great Stuff. I'm in Alabama too!
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm It sounds a lot like it's starting to overrun the governor. Needs some higher gears and some less rpm. I would check the rpm with a tach. It sounds too fast.
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm yea i wouldnt take the governor out of it either, if anything get a bigger carb an exhaust for it from GO-Powersports.com the predator motor is the best out of all the china honda clone motors just keep oil in it an itll run a good long time.
I ordered their dual direction log splitter when it came out...took months to come, I think they were still building it lol. But every month I had to call them so they didn't drop my order. It was a pain but worth it
I heard a Atlanta talk show host say one time about Alabama " the people of Alabama tend to get smarter the closer to Huntsville they live" made me laugh - Neal Boortz
5 mph is fast enough to do a lot of things around the farm...and for pulling stuff you have those ultra slow high-torque speeds. I'd say that tractor is fixed and usable.
I still like that old tractor being used and not scrapped (new tractors are either under built or have computer crap that the manufacturer can still dictate long after they sell it) 👍 u should rig the throttle control to what was the clutch pedal
A Farmall H came with a 26~7 hp motor. I was thinking even with the 6 1/2 hp the way it was unstoppable in 1st gear might could use less teeth on the bull gear to get this more useable in the lower gears.
Gonna need to start selling some Keyfarm merchandise if you keep growing in followers! I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d totally buy a donkey tshirt!
@@brandoncaldwell95 not a chance it will even pull a 3. The tractor doesnt weigh enough. It would just sit there spinning. a farmall h was only a 2 bottom tractor to begin with and thats with the weight of the engine that was in it that weighed 500+ lbs vs like 40 for that little predator
I bought a 670 Predator brand new at Harbor Freight sale of returns and it was a brand new never run motor for $220 you could try to go Powersports for a clutch I would suggest at least $100 clutch and the $400 clutch will be better
I bet you could go with a different sprocket ratio and not lose too much power. Turn the transmission a little faster. I could be wrong though. If it’s not too expensive I know I’d love to see some experimentation.
Keyfarm That would be fun to see. I’m no engineer or anything, I’m just guessing that if you can pick the tractor up like that when it’s tied to a tree I think it would do it. I gotta be honest though I don’t really know small engines but I didn’t get the impression you were going to kill that predator on the tree. I think it just ran out of traction.
I should have thought of this earlier, but is there liquid in them taires? Lots of folks filled them 1/2 to 3/4 full in addition to having wheel weights.
The weight of the original engine would help keep the front end down.. my H pulled the front wheels off the ground pulling a dead tree.. happened Very Quickly..
My tank will be going 2 mph (barely over idle) that is scary enough with the 212. Originals went 6 mph top speed but my homemade track won't handle that.
I wonder why guys don't use something like old Honda engines or better yet find an old Ford with a 300 6 that has rusted away and put that in these old tractors. It has torque like a tractor engine.
dang it.. i couldnt see it in 5th gear. it went by soooo fast.. wow.. someone has a N for like 200 bucks cracked block... mmmmmm makes me wanna try it hahhaha

That tractors so cool, for years I have always wondered if a setup like that would work , it exceeded my expectations great work !

Very impressed with your repowered tractor. Keep the ideas coming. God bless to you and your family
This just proves that it's all about gearing. If you dont mind going slow, you can get a lot of work done with not much power.
Subbed. Following the series. Cool asf man good work.

I would love to repower an old Ford tractor with a 300 straight 6.
I'm really digging that tractor. Good job.
Thanks
Hey thanks for let in know all this information 👍🏽 I have 2 Fordson Major 1 working Rough and the other one not running and is being seating for over 30 years. Good to know 212 can move this old tractor thanks again 👍🏽
Glad I could help
Pretty good, considering this thing had no future seating in the weeds. Great save keyfarm.
Thanks
That's actually quite impressive all things considered
Thanks
I've got an old JD B with a stuck engine, that's about the same HP as the H, I think I saw in an old issue of Farm Show magazine they just ran a belt around the hand clutch pulley and used that to repower it, still resurchin it!
Why not just unstick the engine?
I have seen that attempted
Thanks for fun video!
I am not sure how exited my wife is about it though.

I like you Chris "keyfarm". I'm glad fifth gear was fast. I was yelling "you told me not to blink!!!" LOL
Hahaha
Am curious to see how long the engine lasts.. guessing its light duty & air cooled.
Seems pulling a plow would destroy the motor very quickly.
I'm impressed that it's stayed together this long.
We'll see, it still has the governor, and the low gearing let's it move without working to hard.
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm It sounds a lot like it's starting to overrun the governor. Needs some higher gears and some less rpm. I would check the rpm with a tach. It sounds too fast.

@@midsouthexpress they are clones of hondas they are made of lighter materials an can rev higher an are set to do so.
My '57 Jacobsen Chief did the same, with the factory Kohler 7-horse... while pulling posts from a above-ground pool! =;)
👍
Seems like it's a little over-geared, driven sprocket could be plenty smaller. But hey kudos on the project, that thing is cool.
I order the 212 hope to get it soon. I'm backordered. Hey brother pretty ingenious of you with the tractor.
I ordered one, after a couple weeks my order just disappeared
I ordered their dual direction log splitter when it came out...took months to come, I think they were still building it lol. But every month I had to call them so they didn't drop my order. It was a pain but worth it
The most impressive part of the video was watching a boy from Alabama do math. And he doesn't even live in Huntsville!! You shall go far!
Hahaha, only 40 minutes from Huntsville.

I pulled 3 rolls of hay to the barn a couple weeks ago, it's a pretty good video, check it out.

got to love the speed!
Hahaha
Put an implement behind it and let's see how it does with it or will pto speed be to low from gear reduction
The PTO is slow, covered that in part 3 video.
Awesome project!! Have you tried to run the PTO on a mower yet?
Unfortunately, the PTO is turning to slow with this setup, but we will use it in the future
Them old tractors where never made for speed but the will pull a house over with the gearing in them
With origanal engine
My 1947 farm all cub is a 8hp engine from factory. And my 1948 McCormick Deere w6 was 30hp . So I think you did just fine I’m doing my swap on w6 now
Nice tractor
You go so fast I got a nosebleed
Hahaha
Whooo blazing fast😂 getsome
Lol
Just so long as it can get out in a field to pull stumps is all you really need.
🚜 212 Tractor versus Turtle... "🐢 So you're telling me there's a chance!?!"
Hahaha
A Farmall H came with a 26~7 hp motor. I was thinking even with the 6 1/2 hp the way it was unstoppable in 1st gear might could use less teeth on the bull gear to get this more useable in the lower gears.
I like the tractor thats a really kool tractor i would like to see how well it will do when it comes to pulling logs
Watch the stump pull video, it's pretty impressive
That stump pull video is very awesome i liked that video to
Try a smaller trans sprocket, you have plenty of low gears👍
Doing awesome love the biuld God bless
would you consider the basic mods on this motor ? carb exaust and gov delete should double the power of the little motor or about
I'm going to leave it unmodified and jusygo with a larger engine in the future. If that were not possible, I would modify it.
Great job buddy that tractor is so cool
Gonna need to start selling some Keyfarm merchandise if you keep growing in followers! I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d totally buy a donkey tshirt!
Awesome
Can you test how big of a plow it can pull.
Hmm, I only have one disc( drag type, )we'll see
With the torque in low end with the gearing, im sure a 3 bottom will work. 4 bottom, that might be pushing its limits.
@@brandoncaldwell95 not a chance it will even pull a 3. The tractor doesnt weigh enough. It would just sit there spinning. a farmall h was only a 2 bottom tractor to begin with and thats with the weight of the engine that was in it that weighed 500+ lbs vs like 40 for that little predator

I was quite enthused actually!!
I bet you could go with a different sprocket ratio and not lose too much power. Turn the transmission a little faster. I could be wrong though. If it’s not too expensive I know I’d love to see some experimentation.
I have a 60 tooth I could try

I don't think these how any liquid
This was awesome!
So awesome brother
Do engine upgrades, valve springs, no governor, etc.
If you get a 670 I would like to see a comparison
I would like to see that too that would be really kool
The weight of the original engine would help keep the front end down.. my H pulled the front wheels off the ground pulling a dead tree.. happened Very Quickly..
So your 5th (road gear) is between the original 3rd and 4th gear.
"Don't blink!" lol priceless
Hahaha
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm Wish I had seen this earlier but you got a new sub for sure :) This is great and I look forward to updates and other projects :)
Привет из Беларуси ☺
My tank will be going 2 mph (barely over idle) that is scary enough with the 212. Originals went 6 mph top speed but my homemade track won't handle that.
It all adds up. 6.5 hp at 3500rpm is probably 12-15ft/lb over stupid amounts of gear reduction put that thing probably near 120ft/lb of usable torque
After watching 4 runs at 1mph, 5mph looked pretty fast.
LOL
5 miles an hour is flying with that setup
Thanks, I thought so too. Thanks for watching the videos, I see you have commented a few times, thanks for the support!
Put a 50cc weed eater motor!!! Brand new it’s 50$ if a little 50cc can tow that would be insane!!
How about the predator 79cc, I think I'll try that one because I can use a lot of the same setup.
And I get real tired of mixing gas and oil
Right on
Hey can you shift gears when you're moving
Somewhat, but it's not smooth.
Love to see at ture tractor pull with weights on the front, to see what it can do.
did you costar in the movie days of thunder and on walking dead?
Lol, no, just Keyfarm videos. Hahaha
How are you feeling ?
Feeling? I'm good
👍🇺🇸👍
👍
Does it still run the pto shaft
It does, check out part 3
I wonder how the tractor would do with a predator 670(22 hp.) on it i willing to bet that it would actually be even better
Absolutely, I've spoke about that in previous video
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm oh ok i mustve missed that part
You need some ballast at the front.
👍👍👍
I meant to say repowered my 8n tractor with a cheve small block v8 engine
now on to the dyno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! enter the local tractor pull. find another farmall h with the original engine and have a tug of war.
I'm trying to set up a few tug a wars
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm that will really be interesting. Keep making these videos they are fun to watch
Dammit i blinked
Lol
Should put a torque converter on it !
You don't need a stopwatch for the quarter-mile, you need a calendar.
LOL, good one. I'll use that in the future.
I wonder why guys don't use something like old Honda engines or better yet find an old Ford with a 300 6 that has rusted away and put that in these old tractors.
It has torque like a tractor engine.
Also you should put all the tin and stuff on and just make it look like a tractor again
I will, talked about it in the previous video.👍
