I agree Back when my grandfather was a kid things were made simpler and well-built Someday I’m going to have my own homestead with Antique farm equipment from at least the 60s
Right Warren, Its all about the money. One of my Uncles worked for GM for 35 years. And he told me that building cars was not the point, it was all about parts. And this was back in the early 70's. He said this shit was coming, and here it is. And again stop talking bout the haters, and will they will go away. you rock my friend, I do the same kind of work.
Two handed work with screw driver and breaker bar and smooth video as well. You are a wonder. And you tell us the stories as you work. This is the best damn documentary in a series that I have ever watched. Love it so much!
I grew up driving JD 620 & 730. About as simple as you get. Dependable and tough. The most technology they had was an electric starter and power steering which we thought was the cat's meow!
Warren they have simply created the come back feature with all the electronics. I worked in the marine world and when I left the industry I was starting see the electronics start to make its way into that arena. I am patiently waiting to see them put all the emissions on a marine engine.
The person who made that comment probably never picked up a wrench a day in his life. Love your show Warren. I learn so much from watching your videos especially the 7.3l powerstroke teardown.
The perfect machine that runs for thousands of hours without fault is exactly what every manufacturer doesn't want. Engineering to fail is what keeps businesses in business pal! Keep doing what you're doing, you do a good job old boy
@@josift1283 true. In my spare time, I look after a couple of 50 year old diesel locomotives and I just love the simplicity of it. Smething that was designed to run for 15 years is still working fine some 50+years later. I'd like to see what equipment of today is around in 50 years, not much I think.
Warren years ago I worked at a place down in Yolo County California river garden farms we didn't have any AC tractors but my dad had a couple back when he was farming on his own I cut my teeth on a 1956 D7 open platform no rops caterpillar with a gas Pony motor the old AC tractors along with the older John Deere's they were a breeze to work on I spent many many many hours in a 4650 front wheel assist pulling a triplane and toolbar implements lots and lots of timing a d8k also love your videos Man keep up the good work you're very knowledgeable I've learned quite a few things from watching your videos until next time God bless
There is a line from Star Trek the engineer says, "The More Complex The Plumbing, The Easier It Is To Plug Up The Drain." so true with modern technology!
First few minutes of this video, you downed electronics, praised the border wall, and introduced your dogs!! Liked, subscribed, and clicked the bell! Thanks for sharing!!
I agree to much shit in these new ones. One little SENSOR goes to a electronic controller to goes to a PCU to ties to a ECU that goes to other electronic controllers to causes dozens of faults that you now have to buy a cable that plugs into a computer you have to buy that runs software you have to buy so you can use the service manual you have to buy to find out you have a bad sensor that should just cost you a couple bucks but is hundreds. It's a fucking tractor not a space ship thats going to Mars. I bet it was refreshing working on this old beast and not having to get the computer out.
I stumbled upon your channel recently and have really taken to it. I am a swimming pool repair contractor. I specialize in electrical/electonic troubleshooting. Even the pool automation systems and equipment are being over engineered. I can relate to your frustrations with tractors being way too sophisticated.
Hehe, just relaxing and watching your work. Still have my work uniform on. Dealing with these controllers daily, all the electronics...it's nice to see an old Allis Chalmers. Few months back, a buddy called me for help getting the steering working on his Massey Ferguson. Switching gears, getting the old soldier sorted was a pleasure. A welcome strange from adapting a steering controller module... Thanks for sharing!
The outfit that I work for does land leveling and wild rice farming. We have many large tractors, the most reliable is the original lime green S tiger. The worst one's to work on is the newer John Deere's. Thank You for your videos.
I was looking at a bulkhead module off of a freightliner M2106 a while back and I saw that it was designed by John Deere and made in Mexico. Not surprised they go out as often as they do.
I sure miss the ol boy that lived down the road from us. He must of had 40 or 50 AC crawlers one from every year and model they made. I sure learned alot from him as a kid. Met him while looking for a magneto for an old antique engine i fixed up when i was about 13 or 14 yo. Boy did i turn into a antique engine hoarder from then on. :)
AC was among the best until Agco stepped in. The older machines are simply the best period. Today's stuff, not really calling them junk but, they're "plastic" too much can go wrong with them, electronics etc. Now, older machines, mechanical is far superior to electronics. Love the video's. Cheers :)
I love old equipment and AC is my favorite old brand. My uncle used to have a cable blade HD16 with the Buda engine. That thing was an animal! It sounded so good under a load. Miss that machine. Love your vids, Warren. I'm actually not too far from you--down in Eureka, CA. Keep up the great work. --Bruce
You are in my territory now! My shop got it's boost when Allis sold out to Deutz. The county I was in was heavy with Allis. Wished I could have been there. I would have warned you to just loosen the bottom two bolts on the torque limiter so you wouldn't get a flattened toe! One thing we used to do was to add a second "Bellville" (bevel) spring on the torque limiter when reassembling it. We also never used ceramic discs. The fiber discs have much more contact surface.We never had a come back! You are also right that John Deere had something very similar. Their 4640 with the power shift had a torque limiter very similar to this one.
Good to see you getting over your cold cough, cough lol. Working on iron is always nicer than working on new iron. Must less stuff to pull off to be able to get at the problem and easier. Who doesn't like watching someone working on old machine. I hope you kick your cold in the butt soon stay safe.
I need to split our 7050, helpful video even though I have excellent factory manuals. Was an auction buy (not running) was able to get it running decent but no movement from the trans.
I couldn't agree more with your opinion of today's electronics. They've gone overboard. I only maintain my own vehicles and have kept pace with technology over the years, but doggone.... it doesn't take a computer to move your seat........ unless you're a modern engineer. BTW, anyone who would call you lazy is a damned fool. Thanks for another great video, Warren! Feel better soon my friend.
Remember, Warren, the kids that design these things never knew anything direct, and by that I mean, linkages not computer controlled. These machines work. That’s all there is to it! What is the gain from all these computer controls?
I have that same transmission jack. I busted the plastic adjustment handles off and put a socket where the knob was. Drill and pin the socket or just weld it on either way. It is a lot easier to adjust it with a wrench then trying to turn it by hand. Just giving a idea. It works for me.
I agree with you on electronics on the new equipment in a lot of cases simpler is better when it comes to equipment I drive a John deer road grader 670D as far as I know it doesn't have any Pollution Control stuff on it but it does have some electronics and sensors
My best friend lost his 11 year old son to cancer. Heartbreaking time. After 7 years the emotional scars are fresh as was the day he left us. The worst thing my best friend was told by others was that he was going to be alright. He has never been the same.
Thanks for the laugh man. someone called you lazy. Ha, Ha, That's the funniest thing I've heard so far today. I work on farm equipment too. Also good with electronics, but not like you. We have 3 old AC's. 7060, 7030, 200. 3 Whites, 2-135, 2-105, 2-60. and an Oliver 1655. Take care of your back, I threw mine out at 42 and wished I hadn't. Love your videos
One of the hardest working mechanics I've ever seen on youtube gets accused of being lazy by a commenter.. It just goes to show you don't have to be very observant to type in a comment. If the commenter reads this, my best advice is to avoid looking foolish by knowing what you're talking about before you speak or type.
Gone are the days that I looked at the new tractors on the dealer lot and wanted one. I look at them now and think what a night mare it's going to be for someone when it gets older. Starts breaking down. Awful really! I'll stick with my old stuff till the junkyard parts are completely gone.
Hello Warren. There's a old farmer near us has 2 tractors. A David Brown and a Allis Chalmers. He talks about them like they are people. Like David and Allis will do the job.
I had a big old Alice a guy phoned me it had no hydraulics at all so we took the pump of the bottom and took the unloader apart and there was a steel shaving in the valve. Easy fix, I was standing behind it and I new we had it when the pto brake came on. They are easy to work on the whole job taking the pump off and taking it apart putting it back on only took a couple hours. I like Deere but these are easier than the old 30 series to get tue pump off.👍 on the videos
Olá amigo! É lindo de ver um Allis Chalmers, ainda em forma como esse. Muito lindo e forte esse trator, muito mais resistente que esses cheios de eletrônica que vêm hoje, que param por qualquer probleminha.
Brother I love watching you work... You probably are Crazy (seen you do some things that could be a two or three man job all on your own) but never Lazy. Electronics have cause more problems then they are worth... only reason for the over electrification is the goal of automating everything around us, we're just dealing with the testing of the systems. Ill put an old machincal machine up against they electronical one any day and we will see which is more dependable.
We used to farm with a black frame 7080 that was turned up to 210 horse. We pulled a 56 foot field cultivator with it. It would burn almost 80 gallons of fuel per day but it was a unstoppable and reliable tractor. Sure miss farming but unless you have over 3000 acres plus its hard to make ends meat. We lost everything because of the great flood of 93.
You should try one of those wireless mics, you can set your camera down and we could still hear you just as if you were still standing right beside the camera
I dont know what idiot called you lazy Mr. western truck and tractor repair but lazy is one off things that you are NOT . You are one off the best mechanics i´ve ever seen and a hard worker as well . Best Regards Ivan from Denmark
Don't forget Warren the guys who design these hi tech electronics are not the people who actually have to work on them, as you do . Your comments, as you related on that excavator, are most valid! Bit hard to hear you at times mate! Probably my old worn out ears at work !!! Sure heard that rattle gun though , hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
God are you correct, I made a comment on a Cat dozer with electronic screens etc. I said it will cost a fortune in repair bills and it did not need so much. Ya I got slammed but one comment that floored me was if I didn’t have all this upgraded equipment I wouldn’t be able to get jobs to bid on etc etc. most of that was related to GPS guided systems for finishing grades and all that. I replied how the hell do all operators who never need that crap finish grades within a 100th of a foot using slope stakes and rod shots? I’m not a equipment operator but I’ve been around and so have many men but we are going backwards instead of forwards because when all this fancy shits the bed nobody can work!
I would be buying new bolts for that fly wheel. It always up sets me when you find someone else has been working on equipment messing bolts up. Almost bought one of those used for $5,700. Like you said simple tractor.
Your right about the electronic bullshit on new machines. The company my buddy works for has a brand new doosan shovel and 2 new doosan loaders. If even a couple drop of water go down the pipes the machines won't start because it throws codes for a clogged dpf. None of that with there old cat equipment. Great video again Warren!
My mother said they had room for 3 airmen to live with them who came to Winnipeg for bomber crew training during WWII. They came from Australia, and England.
You're correct about today's electronics, went to buy my mom a new car and the salesman was all about the display has facebook, i'm telling him my mom is 80 years old we don't care about that , all i really want is a car she can get into and out of with ease but they couldn't stop talking about all these new features like a facebook display.
Interesting video again Warren, I know someone had been in there before you, however I am not a fan of Guys using impact wrenches on Allen Headed fasteners, it usually goes down hill fast from that point on.
That's why Cat got out of the truck engine biz. 1 sensor goes bad and you get derated to 10mph. Semi truck engines are still a million mileage engine minus the emissions crap. Def fluid is bs. 60 something percent chemical and 30 something water and if it's off just a few tenths you're on the hook to a stealership. I meant dealership.
a lot of it came down to the previous owners.... the 8030 was abused before we had it, but were the only ones could afford at the time, and like you said easy to work with when there was trouble.
You made that look easy, i have a modern tractor, great to drive but a nightmare to work on. Not like an Irish man to try and have the fastest home around :-)
I love those old orange tractors first tractor I ever purchased was a 7030 my uncle had 2 7060s and an 8070 they were reliable and simple to work on way ahead of their time I have split and rebuilt several of those power director clutch packs always burned them out pulling grain wagons down the road shifting it back and forth you could always tell what field they were in from trail of black smoke out of those things
I categorize you as a mechanical engineer. Without guys like you and myself equipment owner's be sucking wind. Years ago we were classified as Grease Monkeys. The profession is highly rated in today's world. We as mechanics could probably design better machinery then the college grads do. Be safe my friend. How are your man's best friends doing
Worked on a 427 truck motor that the dampener had spun about 25 degrees, old mechanic chewed me out for using a timeing light should have ear timed it!!!
Do you buy every repair manual once you start to work on a tractor or just download off the internet. Must cost a lot to have all the material you have not counting tools, etc.
There is an oil shield missing from that torque LIMITER not devider😜. when the seals get hard in the power director it is likely the next item, always reseal the PD when it is this old, when you have it this far.
Warren what are your thoughts on a John Deere 7520 tractor with JD 741 loader? I’m looking hard at an 06 model with 5500 hrs. Dealer also has a 09’ CIH Maxxum 125 5500 hrs but $2k cheaper. Both are nice units. Appreciate any advice on buying one of these.
I drove a 7030 quite a bit back in the day, pretty good tractors. Thanks for filming the video, nice to see how it comes apart. That stand you have under the front part of the tractor, is that something you bought or something you made?
I agree with you about technolgy in tractors nowdays it's ridiculous. I work a John Deere tech and i barely use my wrench anymore otd just on the computer
I worked on Minneapolis moline u series tractors and g tractors those where always fun to work on so super easy I could have a nap drink a Pepsi and wrench on it at the same time oh did I mention and take my time cause it was so. Much fun🤪
I agree Back when my grandfather was a kid things were made simpler and well-built Someday I’m going to have my own homestead with Antique farm equipment from at least the 60s

Nice seeing you work on the old iron. Must be a nice change for you once in a while to work on something simple. Hope you get feeling better. Thx
Good on this fellow. Great honest guy, a joy to watch and learn from. Your a real credit man God bless you and dogs 👍👍

Where I'm from there weren't many AC's, but plenty of Oliver's. They were way ahead of their time, with many innovations, similar to Studebaker.
I’ve spent a lot of hours picking rocks in one of those. In years of use, I think we changed the teleflex cables for the hydraulics, and a turbo.

I put a small piece of angle iron above the starter gear to keep the flywheel from turning when removing flywheel bolts.
I would be buying new bolts for that fly wheel. It always up sets me when you find someone else has been working on equipment messing bolts up. Almost bought one of those used for $5,700. Like you said simple tractor.
Electronics is one reason I stay with my 7.3. Not a powerhouse but reliable with just IDM and PCM to contend with.
You are right that security is common sense, in today's climate the opposition is purely playing politics

Had an 8030 and a 7020 years ago... The 8030 was troublesome, but the 7020 was a decent machine.
I think there's a guy down the road here who has a 8030. Haven't had the pleasure of working on it yet. These old tractors sure were simple.
a lot of it came down to the previous owners.... the 8030 was abused before we had it, but were the only ones could afford at the time, and like you said easy to work with when there was trouble.
You made that look easy, i have a modern tractor, great to drive but a nightmare to work on. Not like an Irish man to try and have the fastest home around :-)
Fastest tractor, ???, Home damn that spell check
good show. thanks again.
Could you show us your rail you us to hold up the tractor half?
I love those old orange tractors first tractor I ever purchased was a 7030 my uncle had 2 7060s and an 8070 they were reliable and simple to work on way ahead of their time I have split and rebuilt several of those power director clutch packs always burned them out pulling grain wagons down the road shifting it back and forth you could always tell what field they were in from trail of black smoke out of those things
I categorize you as a mechanical engineer. Without guys like you and myself equipment owner's be sucking wind. Years ago we were classified as Grease Monkeys. The profession is highly rated in today's world. We as mechanics could probably design better machinery then the college grads do. Be safe my friend. How are your man's best friends doing
Great video.. if he didn’t loose hydraulics when it was slipping then problem is in the power director clutch pack,
That line was just trying to give you a hug
i LOVED working on them old dogs . good power too
if memory serves , the tork limiter bolts loosened as often as the bellville washers failed and both wrecked it anyway
I see a Modine heater sitting there, are you going to install it in your shop, and if you do will you make a video of the install?
how many hours are these old tractors good for ? good on fuel ?
Man sure like the way you put to use that " NUT WRECKERS WRENCH" HA HA HA
Two of these series AC run in my town, the guy imported them from Africa and the US for tractorpulling
Warren are you going to replace the worn out bolts?
It shure is nice to work on something that you don’t need a dam computer to work on it. We have new stuff but. Shure like our 40 series jd’s a lot.
Worked on a 427 truck motor that the dampener had spun about 25 degrees, old mechanic chewed me out for using a timeing light should have ear timed it!!!
my old timberjack skidder has a ceramic clutch and has had oil leaking on it for 12 years with no slipping
Do you buy every repair manual once you start to work on a tractor or just download off the internet. Must cost a lot to have all the material you have not counting tools, etc.
Love my simple ‘04 6320. 👍
There is an oil shield missing from that torque LIMITER not devider😜. when the seals get hard in the power director it is likely the next item, always reseal the PD when it is this old, when you have it this far.
The wall the door the fence !! Pretty fuckin simple !! LoL,,, I'll be watching this guy !!!!!!
Warren what are your thoughts on a John Deere 7520 tractor with JD 741 loader? I’m looking hard at an 06 model with 5500 hrs. Dealer also has a 09’ CIH Maxxum 125 5500 hrs but $2k cheaper. Both are nice units. Appreciate any advice on buying one of these.
Which did you pick? How’s it treating you?
I worked on the Dec 10 mainframe computers, the 1077 and 1099 models until Digital Computers went out of business in 1997.
I completely agree on the electronics bullshit. Thanks fof the awesome videos.
How much does it cost to fix a blown head gasket?
I drove a 7030 quite a bit back in the day, pretty good tractors. Thanks for filming the video, nice to see how it comes apart. That stand you have under the front part of the tractor, is that something you bought or something you made?
I built that about 15 years ago.
Wondering how the engine is supported on the stand?
I agree with you about technolgy in tractors nowdays it's ridiculous. I work a John Deere tech and i barely use my wrench anymore otd just on the computer
I worked on Minneapolis moline u series tractors and g tractors those where always fun to work on so super easy I could have a nap drink a Pepsi and wrench on it at the same time oh did I mention and take my time cause it was so. Much fun🤪
Do you have your red Seal and is it hard to get it
