Absolutely no doubt that this Farmall H is going to be a big time trophy winner at tractor meets and shows if Toby enters it in them. He'll need a spanking new large glassed in display shelf unit to hold all of them.
Great looking work Squatch! I've been restoring, mostly 1950's Farmall M tractors for more than 20 years now in my retirement. If people only knew, It is the most enjoyable and fulfilling time you can spend daily. IH knew how to build tractors in those days and for the most part you can still purchase needed repair parts to complete the rebuilds. Your videos and Pete's few acres farm Farmall videos are something I look forward to.
They sure didn't take all that care at the factory prepping and painting. Remember numerous machines on the farm with belts and hoses covered in paint and lots of runs. (These were the machines we bought new). Remember the even newer machines in the 1990s at farm shows having paint all over everything, too. Pretty sure they shipped the tractor with the rear wheels dished in, probably many parts in cloth bags for final assembly at the dealer. I'd like to see some factory films, sounds like a rainy day youtube deep dive. Keep up the good work &thanks for sharing.
Hello Squatch.Thanks for the great technical explanation regarding the paintprocedure.It's great to get more vieuws of "how to" and "why".Thanks from a Farmall-friend of Netherlands!
Flipping tires. Boy that brings back memories of me helping my uncle and cousins flipping tires on there Oliver to put the corn picker on each fall. Then back in the spring. Tires were loaded thank goodness they had a tractor with a loader on it.
I really enjoy watching your tractor rebuild videos. My Uncle had all the Farm Tractors restored. Farmall H, 190AC, Cockshutt550, Cockshutt560, 8N, 9N, and a Major. Everyone of these tractors are in a climate control building. They come out 2 times a year. 1st is the County Fair, the other is the Antique Farm Machinery Show. Keep up the videos.
I congratulated you at 50K subscribers, and again at 60K. Way to hit 70K a several days ago! I absolutely love, like many of your viewers, just about any and all of the content that you post. Thank you.
In one of your last videos you mentioned blacking or finishing the axles. I noticed in this video they were painted except where you planning to have the hubs seat. Did you just brush on a single coat of Rust-Oleum? Rattle can? Or something else? Also, I like the convex rear wheel centers. I have always thought it makes the tractor look more tidy... If that makes sense.
Awesome series! I totally understand the wheel spacing goal you have. It just looks backwards to me when the hubs face that way because I only ever saw them facing the other direction growing up. Paint and finish looks great!
I spent a big portion of my childhood in the seat of a 1945 H discing and cultivating and having the rear wheels dished out does not look right to me. Your paint job is amazing though. You do great video work and I enjoy your videos very much. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more MM videos.
Nice job squatch it looks better than new it’s hard to believe that farmalls pushing eighty years old if you didn’t it looks better than when it was knew like your channel squatch you all do nice restoration glad all you you tubers share your restorations with us thanks to you all
Squatch253 pumpin’ out the content! Yes!!!! Hope the watch minutes are good. Gettin’ an education on wrenches, woods, land management, critter management (ahem….R*ck B*rk) and TH-cam content creation. Keep on keepin’ on, Squatch.
@Squatch253 don't sell yourself short on the prototype videos. That is EXACTLY what I want to see. Everything else is good filler. I appreciate the tip on the wheel stands. The best I saw was mounted on an old axle and rolled when painting. I like your method much better. When mounting tires, you could use a rubber wheel chock between the tire and floor as you tighten the bolts. I do that since my prosthetic foot has no feeling, and my other foot is about useless. Just a hint. Also, where do you get your plastic plugs, corks, etc supplies for plugging holes during paint. I've not found a good supplier for either.
So I’m loving the H project. Wondering if the plow will also be rebuilt and painted to match ? Love the work you do. You have a high attention for details.
I once tried fighting the battle to recapture lost shop floor space. I lost badly. Building a new and larger shop seems like a better use of my time now.
Great work. I have a 44 M that has the rears "turned backwards" . They have probably have been that way all of its life. I have been around this tractor all my life and always thought it looked strange.
I interned at the green tractor place for 3 summers in engineering. But good lord I am a sucker for the 4 cylinder in red. I learned to drive on a super C with a 6’ belly mower and spent many an hour in the seat of a super A cultivating strawberry rows.
all painted fasteners will relax as the paint that they are painted with will be erased ..... check the fasteners after a while and tighten, otherwise everything will unwind.
nice paint job and I love the explaination of what and why you do what you do. Makes me wish I had kept the two Ford 600's we had on our farm. one had a really nice hydralic bucket on it. Thanks for what you do for all of us and keeping your tractors up and running. Preperation H is more than what you thought but it was good because you did find a major issue and addresed it. Semper Fi brother and if your ever out here in the Portland area(I'm not there but close) I would love to take you to see SP 4449 and SP&S 700 at our train museum.
5:34 it's a good idea. Next summer i'm probably going to paint a few wheels as well, and i'm defo going to try that. Usually i hang them from an A frame, but that ties the A frame in place. So this should make things easier and free up the A frame for other work.
Hi Toby interesting thing about your rear wheels we live in New Zealand where there were many Far all M&s and Hs imported in fact my Father was a farmer and over the years owned 5 Far all M&s and a British Super BMD all the Ms both USA and British tractors I have seen have there rear wheels the same way as you have now fitted yours which generally seems opposite to most tractors in the USA something I noticed a long time ago Watch every one of your videos you and your Dad are perfectionists at everything you do great stuff Regards Les from down under New Zealand
Looks very nice Squatch! I agree with 12-pt. socket method. I felt lined some six-point sockets to try and had mediocre results with that. Went back to the 12-pt. way and just deal with it. I have an old H that belonged to my grandfather sitting in the shed just begging for a facelift. Hopefully it will make the short list in the near future.
Those old railroad jacks are great for lifting tractors. We have simplex and buda ones. The buda is my favorite but that’s because we have a lot of allis tractors.
A little bottle of red fingernail polish works great when patching up chips in red paint. That's what I used on my mountain bike when it got chipped/scratched.
I used to be solidly in the dish out camp for H and M Farmalls, but I think I've changed my mind as I see more and more of them dish in. I guess is depends some on the intended use of the machine.
First off , I really hope your eye surgery was succesful. I ave been following the farmall for a few days. My question is, what is that jack? I need one. That would be so much easier on the tractoes over a conventional floor jack
Squatch, I have a few questions. What do you do with the tractors after you’re finished with them? Provided the ones that don’t get put to work, do you store them somewhere? Lastly, have you considered doing any videos on the Ferguson tractors? I’m not taking about the Massey-Ferguson ones, rather the ones he produced with his own company after he split with Ford, like the TO-20?
Having done this myself I'm curious to see the order of reassembly. Also having grown up around wide rows it will take getting used to looking at wheels turned inboard. Thank you.
Still watching. so on the wheel centers you replied to a comment explaining how you made use of the stands. you said you painted the inside first and then picked it with tractor to set on drum and paint outside. did you do that process all in one painting or paint one side , let dry and then flip over?
Do you ever use a "never seize" type of product when reassembling? It has become my habit and when you go back years later to take something off you appreciate it. Great job.
I notice your shop isn't pink... I shot a small vehicle in a garage with Porsche Indian Red years ago, it was very much this shade of RED!! said garage was redecorated pink when the air cleared 😄
Any concern with increased torque having the wheel hub at the end of axle? Sure it will not be abused, just seems it was engineered to be close to housing? Stability aside.
Iguess I dont pay enough attention at shows but Idont recall seeing a lot of tractors that way. Best of luck with your cylinders head. I realize that it is back on the far rear burner, but I will be trying hard to patiently wait for the next x231 episode.
@@squatch253 yet they'd have such an easier time trailering them narrowed down...I bet 50% never budged the wheels during their restoration efforts due to rust.
Do you have to use caution when removing the hardware at the hub and rim to keep your kneecaps in one piece like on my tanker with the old Dayton rims?
Looking for an alternative for variprime and I read that many epoxy primers will not adhere to variprime. Don't know if true. Just FYI I guess you will find out with that engine. Hate to see you not only have to strip off the top coat paint, epoxy printer and the variprime off after it begins to flake off after a few years. Maybe to be safe I would remove the variprime before spraying the epoxy primer so the whole tractor gets equal spray treatment under the law.
🤗 👍 that half looking good …. This one’s from the missus 🤗 ya got her wanting an H now 🤦♂️ 😂 hahaha but she’s really enjoying the impromptu Earl scheib! !! 😳😝 ✌️🤙
I believe those farmalls came from the factory dished in like that, i have a picture of our super h with my great uncle on it the day it came to the farm brand new and they were dished in.
@@squatch253 although in the 40s, coming from the horse era, 40ish inch rows were the norm because of the size of a horse's behind to travel down the rows for cultivation. 1960s 30 inch took off as popular once yields were shown to improve and the horse farmers were almost gone. You could still get planting and harvesting equipment in wide 34, 36, 38 rows into the 1980s. Some traditions die hard. I believe cotton still is grown in wider rows but the corn and soybean belt is definitely 30 or narrower.
Wow, now that's a grate paint job, the tractor is turning out beautiful keep up the awesome job.
Farmall kid 63
No paint scratching or any nicks on the fresh paint job. Now that is something that speaks about professional approach.
Absolutely no doubt that this Farmall H is going to be a big time trophy winner at tractor meets and shows if Toby enters it in them.

Its looking real good! The old H is going to be ready for years of shiny work!
Possibly the reddest red I've ever seen, nice job.
It's a beautiful thing.
As always......excellent work
Great video Squatch! The H is looking great. Hopefully this tire set up will help you achieve the draft position you're looking for. Cheers
Supporting the hometown team with that blue tape.
Toby, you do some mighty fine work. It's a pleasure watching you work and accomplish things.
Thanks for the update Toby! Preparation H is coming along nicely! Looks great! Can’t wait to see what you work on next!
How happy the wheel centres look, must be the good care they experienced ! (3:27)
Great to see the 'red Christmas wrapping paper' peeled off! Great to hear that a machine stop has been lined up for the head.

That red single stage paint looks good!!! She will look like jewelry when she’s all together.
I know your paint project has inspired Rick to put out some painting videos. He's doing such a good job that it would bring tears to your eyes.
The all important ‘visual progress’ the boss likes to see! Beauty!
Nice paint work! It takes patience to get it right and you have the right mindset to do it well.

The H will look better than new. That paint shines!
Punch -a- Bunch is a favorite! Amazing how fast it starts to take shape again.
Great video. Fantastic job assembling with no paint scratching. 👍🏼. Enjoyed watching
I'll surely be back that red paint is really bright Ole Preperation H is coming along nicely.
When you’re a perfectionist, your restorations come out perfecter than when new. She’s real purtty! 🥸👍✅

Those dished out rears could also be expanded to duals pretty easy too. Though I guess that wouldn't help your plow draft 😁
Going to have a new h to match the new m when you get done.😎
The dishing on the wheels is very pleasing.
It’s turning out very nice!
Squatch253 pumpin’ out the content! Yes!!!! Hope the watch minutes are good. Gettin’ an education on wrenches, woods, land management, critter management (ahem….R*ck B*rk) and TH-cam content creation. Keep on keepin’ on, Squatch.

I love it when a plan comes together. The H is looking good!
So I’m loving the H project. Wondering if the plow will also be rebuilt and painted to match ? Love the work you do. You have a high attention for details.
The new paint sure turned out shiny! I'm liking the wheel spacing! It makes it look more 'stout'.
what a beautiful paint job brilliant!
So cool that you address viewer questions!
Wow that looks great. Hopefully that head is usable we can keep moving forward. Can't wait.
I once tried fighting the battle to recapture lost shop floor space. I lost badly.

Dang that Red paint looks great. I think you have already mastered that new gun. Well done
That farmall red is so bright. I am used to the old weathered almost maroon color.
Amazing to watch reassembly of newly painted parts without doing any damage 🤔 the harder i try the worse it gets for me 🙄😬👍
Squatch, the new saturation settings look incredible!

Good video
The H is looking so good,nice work
you should get a set of them lug nut sockets with the plastic inserts! I been using them for a while, and had really good luck.
Currently I am also binge watching Caterpillar D2 #5J1113 Chassis Rebuild. Good Stuff!
Looks awesome Tobie

Funny how it looks "too red" until you get some of the contrasting colors on it.
Dam that looks great
6:15 Unlock washer - the biggest scam in engineering.
Where a split washer *doesn't* loosen the nut , it's in spite of the washer , not because of it
Most plow draw bars that I've seen, are adjustable to change where the plow tracts. Maybe that's a option ?
