Man…Your dad reminds of my grandpa…takes me back to when I was a kid wrenching on old Tractors with my grandpa on his Indiana farm in the 1970s Thanks man 👍🇺🇸
Jed I'm more of a GM guy but like the others, especially the Mopars you guys got laying around (the AMC too). However I'm really digging the tractor stuff 👍
This is really cool! Just wanted to stop by and say Thanks a million Bro!! I talked to Marty last night and he told me about you suggesting the satellite video to people: can't tell you how much I appreciate that!! I've very thankful!!! Thumbs Up to you!!
Mopars and Allises, you are definitely my kind of guy. Be careful, after I rebuilt my grandpas Allis on my channel, everybody wants more tractor videos now.
Cool beans , Jed ! That was a pretty slick repair job on the old Allis Chalmers engine boys ! Sounded like she fired a couple times there , so good job !
I definitely appreciate the help on the 273 rebuild. If I knew I was keeping you from recording I would have kept the call shorter. LOL. New pushrods got here yesterday. Will be back at it tomorrow.
Thanks Jed for another great video also your father, since he worked his butt off. I think you gave out Bob Glidden's secret out with the special connecting rod, that's why his Ford dominated pro stock back in the day! Lol
That's good news lol, I love to see you guys getting together for a project and the game is on the radio. Don't get any better than that. Glad to see it alive again! Soon I will see it moving gravel and then snow. Hopefully you can get a farm going, would be the thing Dad needs to get more projects and room for them. Great weekend for you all.!!
Gotta have a welder(s) for keeping things movin'. I worked on a Allis Chalmers in Ag Mechanics when I was in high school. That was so long ago I forgot more than I learned.
Keep the content coming. Old cars, and old tractors go ha d in hand. There’s almost no old school gear head that doesn’t love old tractors too. I’d love to see a new javelin video too, I love that car
I'm probably your Dads age but growing up My Dad worked for the local Carthage Mo Buick /Allis dealership and i cant even remember how many of these old WDs Dad inframed i was grinding valves and seats by the age of 10 lol winter would roll around and i remember rows of wd45s sitting waiting on Dad to rebuild them of course times were different people fixed things rather than replaced like today
Jed, as always thank you for sharing your wealth with us all. Your respect and admiration for your dad make you one of the richest men alive. Thank you for all that you do.
Looks good Jed. I don’t know what rebuild kit you an your dad picked up, but when I did a wd45 with my uncle years ago it told us to do a hot retorque on the cylinder head. Not sure why to be honest maybe it was something to do with the head gasket material but I am unsure. I wish you good luck on the crawler to can’t wait to see that moving along.
Nobody makes a sleeve for that engine anymore, we checked and called around to the "experts" The closest sleeve and piston combo is from a John Deere 4020 gas engine, same wrist pin diameter, we would just have to do a little machine work to make the sleeves work
Looking good guys how much difference is the sleeves / bore on the crawer and the tractor to bad not close enough that you could use those type in the crawer but keep at it , it's closer then you was . maybe check on a 2.4 or 2.5 from a 80s car Daytona , omni , k car or something along that line and put in if all else fails . js
Dad is his own man, and it is not my place to go that. If he wants to quit, he will quit on his own accord. One of my great grandparents smoked like a chimney and lived to be over 100 and died of natural causes. Smoking obviously isn't good, but I'll never judge or critic someone over it

Love ur dad swag, he laid back and talk as calm as Sam Elliot, great work 👍

Anytime man, you are a cool dude, and I am happy to help
Mopars and Allises, you are definitely my kind of guy. Be careful, after I rebuilt my grandpas Allis on my channel, everybody wants more tractor videos now.
I'll tell Dad to check your build out, he really loves the old Allis Chalmers tractors
Cool beans , Jed ! That was a pretty slick repair job on the old Allis Chalmers engine boys ! Sounded like she fired a couple times there , so good job !
Another great video. Love the way that you and your dad get along.
I definitely appreciate the help on the 273 rebuild. If I knew I was keeping you from recording I would have kept the call shorter. LOL. New pushrods got here yesterday. Will be back at it tomorrow.
It's all good man, I was happy to help you out
Wow Mike that was a fine job on that connecting rod! I love seeing the work on this old WD. Very Happy you came and got her from me!
Thanks for hooking us up Troy, we got that old WD working at the farm again
Thanks Jed for another great video also your father, since he worked his butt off. I think you gave out Bob Glidden's secret out with the special connecting rod, that's why his Ford dominated pro stock back in the day! Lol
Hay buddys good to see yall again good luck with cars an tractors
That's good news lol, I love to see you guys getting together for a project and the game is on the radio. Don't get any better than that. Glad to see it alive again!

Awesome! Can't wait to see it moving under it's own power!
That’s a good wall hanger piston right there if I ever did see one 🤣

You get the hang of it, practice is like riding a bike. He just has to figure out the right formula for it!

Rob, you are gonna make me blush dude much love and respect right back at ya
Love it cant wait to hear that crawler spinnin over.
Loving it when your vids drop Jed. Keep up the good work✊🏻
On the torque wrench supposed to have the crows foot 90 degree to the wrench if not adds leverage just saying 👍
That rod will make a great “WallHanger”.
I can remember years ago my pops put a 440 in a AC wd i believe we still have the chassis
Those M&W add pwr pistons are getting scarce. Some reproductions of those in 8.5:1 would be awesome

Great job guys! Team Scott 🚜😎💪🏁
You can get sleeves for the crawler, I think the M sleeves work and give you on large overbore.

Almost ready drive to Oregon

Please ask your Dad to stop smoking It will not be good down the road just tellin' you
Dad is his own man, and it is not my place to go that. If he wants to quit, he will quit on his own accord. One of my great grandparents smoked like a chimney and lived to be over 100 and died of natural causes. Smoking obviously isn't good, but I'll never judge or critic someone over it
