    Happily married man here but I just have to say you are such a cutie and it is a pleasure to watch how capable and knowlegable you are at tractor repair and maintenance. Your dad must be the proudest father on all of planet earth. It is such a blessing that you and him have done all this together. I worked with my dad for 20 years in the car business and it was the greatest time of my life. Now that he is gone I have lost that wonderful joy spending all those years with him. Never take a moment of these years for granted and have him with you in every video you can so you'll have hours and hours of him on video. I'll be ordering parts for my 8n I just got running since I bought it 6 years ago shortly after my father passed away. Thanks to your fabulous videos I've started to feel the urge to work on machines again. I love strong women such as my mom and my wife so watchine you work is a pleasure. Great videos , keep up the good work. 👍👍💪🚜

    I love old tractors. I don’t have any. When I was a kid I used to work for a dairy farmer for free . My Father loaned me out .....and in return we received free whole milk and some excavation services. I learned about work , and farm family life. .....and of course...I got to operate tractors. This young lady reminds me so much of those earlier times. Ambitious, bright...cut from the family fiber that knows no boundaries......they built the Sherman tanks , B-24 bombers, and repaired / rebuilt the Navy during WW I I . Clearly, a good speaker and teacher.....well done ! Excellent

    Great video,
    In my opinion, Most people do not realize the amount of effort and skill it takes to put a video like yours together. Cameras, Lighting, Audio, Synchronization , Plus putting all those clips together in post. A ton of work. A completely different skill set. It might have took longer to produce the video than to rebuild the engine. Bravo.
    great job on both. You have a new subscriber.

A nice coherent explanation of what to do without "he haw" antics and using tools that the average person actually might have....or at least afford. Yes I noticed she is an attractive woman, but there is no shortage of them on TH-cam....but there is a shortage of folks offering tutorials of this high quality.

    My Granddaddy taught me as a kid helping him in his garage to put rubber hose over the threads before tapping pistons out. This prevents scratching the crankshaft.

    Beautiful tractor and gorgeous mechanic,watching Rachel messing with those spark plug wires reminds me of the first time i did a plug job when i was 12 years old in the early 80s, i had a 1957 Toyota land cruiser and i grew up in a farm so i would use it to cruise around to the lake and go fishing , hunting etc.
    My dad bought me the plugs and new wires,first of i didn't gap them, second, i pulled all the wires off and never labeled or made any diagram whatsoever, man, once it came time to turn it on it was bucking and jumping like a bull at a rodeo,lol, my dad said "did you put those wires were they were before???" i told him i didn't know i had to,i just kinda guess where they went, ha ha ha ha

    Very good I was in the trads for forty three years. you are one the best I seen . Most of the guys have a hammer in one hand and a screwdriver in the other beating and praying on the parts . I like that you taped all the holes. Most hakes do not under stand that the threads have to be clean to get the right torque along with new bolts. Keep up the good work.

    wow just watched it. im a 39 year mechanic an nice job Maam. i will not critique this much at all as well was nicely done. i will say when installing pistons i put fuel hose ove the rod bolts to keep from maring the crank but im impressed!!! oh and one more thing, sorry dont use extensions when torquing bolts!

  • @LilYeshua
    @LilYeshua 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My grandfather owned one. He used it mainly for cultivating and running a single disc harrow to make field drainage ditches. He also owned a (I think '53 ) Ferguson that he used mainly for disc harrowing and for pulling a sled for transporting bags of fertilizer out to a field and for potatoe harvest. Everything else he used a mule for planting corn.

    @dhansel4835 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Boy that brought back old memories. I still have one in the barn. It's been there for about 35 years.
    We used it to plant our 3 gardens. We had middle busters & sweep plows. It only has about 10 HP.
    I remember when I was about 6-7 years old I had to drive it while my parents walked beside the tractor pulling a trailer as we hand picked corn.
    Your tractor is in great shape. I just wonder how much it would cost to have one brought back to show room shape?
    Thanks for your talent in showing us the work you did. There aren't many young ladies that has your talent and ability.

    I really enjoyed your video. Well done! We had a Farmall Cub when I was growing up. It had a complete set of accessories for it; mower, blade, plow, harrow, disc, etc. I learned to drive on it and I also learned a lot of basic mechanics on it. I had no idea you could actually get high performance pistons for them. Wow! What I really like about old tractors is they seem to last forever; they don't rust out and they are low tech, basic mechanicals.

    Rachel, you made that look easy. I've always liked rebuilding engines and the satisfaction of hearing them fire up when you're done. Nice video, not "too much" detail. One word of advice, when you remove and reinstall the pistons, I like to put a piece of rubber fuel line on the rod bolts so I don't nick the crankshaft. When I'm ready to rebuild my '46 Ford 2N I'll check your website for parts and advice that I may need.
