- My Farmall 656 has a badly leaking rear wheel seal, and possibly a bad wheel bearing. Let's fix it.

I don't understand my friends who say they are bored in retirement, because there's never a shortage of things to do. You will get along fine with retirement, Pete, whenever it happens.
Amen 🙏 to that!!!🙏🙏🙏🕊
I tried it .. after a yr I was so bored .. I did it all and ending up going out & helping my son with his business.. now I ask myself why? .. lol it's like I took another career on .. but I'm so busy I can't smell the flowers and Pete's life is my dream retirement.. I'm taking notes lol
I feel like i needed to retire.God bless.
I'm with you on that! I can't even imagine a day without a long to-do list. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't change a thing. I don't miss the '9-5' for a minute. Bored? Wow. Can't even imagine what that feels like. :-)
I’ve found that retirement never gives you a day off. 😎 Tim in northern TN
Pretty interesting - you would go broke paying labour on all these projects if you didn’t do them yourself. Great job! 😃🇨🇦
Thats Farming for ya
Very true. @@keltonwright7
Always a pleasure to watch the mechanics of your farm. Once again I learned something new of the bearings and seals. Thank you for the video.
I also learned a lot about Pete's farm and machinery.
I wish there was a way to like more than once. I’m a big farmall fan, and love everything you post because I’m learning… and you are so real and honest and always tell it like it is. I love how you tell us “nubs” that it can be done, even without all the fancy tools.
I can’t wait for the new shop , I really enjoy watching the tractor repair videos. 🇺🇸
I for one truly enjoy your repair and restore videos, I know some people only enjoy the animal videos to each their own I guess. Come on folks, if you like maintain and repair and restore videos let Pete know, hit the like button, speak up!
Happy to get a Just Few Acres video this morning!
I’m 63 years old been farming all my life it’s nice to know that I’m not too old to learn a few a few things my grandson and I both love watching your show. Thanks for all the new info and may God bless
Great stuff today, Pete. Thank you for the education on tractors. Always willing to share your knowledge with us means a lot.
Great video 📹. The good thing about running older and proper tractors is that you can always have a rainy day project or two. I run older classic tractors and machinery, so I always have rainy day projects. Keep the good content coming, with your words of wisdom and mix of content. You and hillary have a good work and reward ratio.
You make repairs look SO EASY
Here comes winter, and the fun begins, lol. More projects to get done!!! I'm excited to see these videos. See you soon in the next one.
Very interesting. You're a good teacher. You don't race explanations which allows time to absorb the logic and follow procedures. That's much appreciated. 👍👍👍
Pete, it’s great when you take us backyard mechanics along for the rebuilds.
I just love watching you work. You are the most patient guy I have ever seen. My hubby can work on all kinds of machines but he does not have your patients! He is always in a hurry! Lol
Funny what we learn when we take on a project and the knowledge that we draw on from projects we've done before. That is life.
Thanks Pete, I’m 60, I grew up on a pair of 400’s and always have done a lot of my own work, just wanted you to know I admire your patience and that your always teaching me something I didn’t know or have forgotten. Thanks again
Good morning Pete. As usual the hubby and I love watching all your videos, farming and tractor repairs as well. Thank you for taking time from your busy day to share your videos. 😊
Really looking forward to all the tractor repair this winter good time to sit back drink coffee and learn with a great teacher
Pete can't wait to see the next video I'm setting here in front of my wood heater watching this
Nothing like those smoothing sounds of rain of a tin roof I could listen to that all day. Thanks for sharing Pete.
This is the first video I watched on computer to see comments. I have been watching on the ROKU for about 2 years. Appreciate the content, it reminds me of when I was growing up. We had anywhere between 30 to 40 milk cows. I understand you are considering changing the direction you have been going but whatever direction you choose to go, your videos are of great content and good quality.
Hi Pete
Always so interesting the way you explain not just the how to, but also why the parts are designed the way they are. My wife and I are moving 2 weeks today to a 25 acre property just 15 minutes north of us in Burlington Ontario. It has a 40x 60 shop and I can’t wait to get at 2 of our 3 tractors. A 1945 9N ( low compression in 2 valves) and a 1969 Laylund 384 ( it’s British )that came with the property.
I love all of your videos and will be watching faithfully as you get your new shop and move into the next phase of your life. You are inspiring Pete !
Good day to all. Peace.
Thank you for adding the jack stand Pete, you were making me nervous for you 😅
Hi Pete, love your content as always. Haven't seen a Farmer's Market video in a while, I dearly miss those.
I am a 60 yr old woman and I absolutely love these videos Pete. Thank you for all the hard work it takes to share with us.
You're just like Mr. Rogers. You always have a smile on your face, discuss what's happening in the neighborhood, give your relaxed smile and explanation, them just say " I'll see you next time!" You and Hillary are such a treasure!!!!!
After watching this video Pete I've decided to never ever complain about changing the CV joint in my VW van.......
Stay safe Pete! I would imagine it is very easy to get hurt when performing these needed tractor maintenance jobs. I was disappointed that you didn’t show how you prepared and cooked the pork roast😊
Thanks Pete. I also enjoy the repair and restore videos. In fact, if you're looking for some new content, I think the governor on my 1939 T-20 crawler is in need of repair. It appears the governor thrust bearing has failed. The governor on the T-20 and your F-20 are the same. Maybe a tutorial on taking the governor apart and putting it back together would be of interest to your viewers. It would certainly help me!
In your new shop you should look into putting in an i-beam jib crane for jobs like this.
Fixing a seal leak on an old tractor is a good way to spend a rainy day. The sound of the rain on the over head metal roof gives a kind of rhythm to the unbolting, prying free of parts, and the occasional puffs of fresh air blown in, is a wake up call that life is good.
I love how you described preload of a bearing. I am millwright and I found your interpretation of preload to be spot on and I really appreciate your lifestyle and attention to detail.
There's something very satisfying about the sound of a ratchet being used. It brings back many good memories. Thank you for sharing, Pete. Have a great week!
I know the feeling I just removed both of the rear wheels on my loader tractor to put on new tires. I also done away with the calcium chloride and bought new rims and went back with the “the new ballast “.
With my rears weighing 1600# each I really appreciate my mini excavator.
Another good video 👍
Happy to see tractor Pete grinning.
Morning Pete . Big job for one person . Those wheels can slap you in the mouth if you’re not careful . Great video, thanks Pete .
Hey Pete,
I’m looking forward to seeing your mechanical videos this winter. I’m living vicariously through you.😂
Sounds like your gonna be busy this winter, Thank you for the videos and have a great day.
There's nothing like a good rainy day project.
Dear Pete, Please plant a bush by the door at the barn. I feel bad when I DON’T SEE one there!! 😆😆😆❤
Another great video Pete. love the tractor repair ones! it keeps reminding me I have to pull my mower in for some repairs and I've been procrastinating, But I'm an Octogenarian, so I'm allowed to do that more often than you younger folk. thanks for sharing. ECF.
I must say I'm quite impressed with your mechanical knowledge .
your "Binder" knowedge is amazing
I think u are gonna be busy all winter long Pete . Great video
So many of these tractors leak at the axles...drives me nuts
Thanks for the videos. Have a great day!
Pete, I love all the content you put out for the public to see.
Interesting show today, Pete. Thanks for the tractor class!
Show idea: put a GoPro on Ezra. We could watch a day in his life ☺️
That was an excellent description of bearing preload.
Good morning Pete.....outstanding video today as always..I sure enjoy watching all of your videos....Have great week ahead...
Finding out things I didn't know. Pete makes it clear to understand. Thanks Pete
Great video Pete don’t stop working on the tractors.
Looking forward to seeing all of it
Can't wait, I will 🤗be here to HELP watch.🤓
Hi pete with all the troubles in the world its nice to see you out and about the farm fixing up tractors and tending the animals hoping you and hilary in good health greetings from near sydney australia ❤❤😂😂
I really enjoy your videos Pete. You are so even keeled it’s just relaxing to listen to you go through a project.
*Pete's agricultural knowledge is admirable*
Can’t wait to see all the projects begin! Keep up the great work Pete!!
Love that rain sound!!
I'm excited to see the projects. It's my favorite part of the channel.
Took my grandkids to a pumpkin patch this Sat. and we rode a hayride pulled by a 1939 Farmall! Don’t ask what model, because the driver didn’t say & he was busy. Without your channel I’d have never known Farmall, but my grandson was impressed.😊
I can’t wait to see the new shop!!!
Can’t wait to see the winter projects!
You are a man of great wisdom!
Hello sir i am from India🇮🇳
Keep up the good job you and your family and friends do a great show
Thank your
Glad you used the loader and didn’t try to handle the tire by yourself be careful buddy hope you get the seal and bearings fixed thanks for sharing
Fun to watch you working on the tractors Pete!
All the farmer channels I watch show a big chunk of farming is fixing the equipment. Wholesome content as always JaFAF.
It's ok to have a favorite jack...just don't let the other jacks find out.
The setup is the same as on a Belarus tractor. IH at least made the wheel clamp so that the threads are not exposed to the elements. Usually on a Belarus tractor, the clamp is rusted stuck and only heat, plus a cheater bar might be your only option.
Other thing is a clamp that is way too loose or runs loose for a long time, than your key way is ruined and you need to replace the axel as well.
I'm sure the bearings for the 656 rear axel are not cheap. The bigger the diameter the more they tend to cost.
Oh boy interesting projects forthcoming.
Pete!!!!
I could watch you work all day!
I don't understand almost everything you are talking about but I amazed at what you know.....and how it comes to you matter of factly.
My Dad told me plenty of times "that a man could move the world if he has the right tools"......I cannot wait to see you in action when you move into your new (and spacious) shop.
When are you going to share its plans/layout?
With your previous life's background, I'm sure it will be a shop to behold.
Keep up the "Good work"
Rich from PA.
It is fine to have a favorite Jack as long as you also have a favorite Jill. Equality after all.
Just took a tour of a small museum here that is dedicated to the steel mills in this region of Ohio. Your tractor harkens back , in my mind, to the era when machines had to be built of heavy guage everything. Its interesting to live long enough to at least have seen the end of that era and the beginning of the space age. Pretty neat.
Hay pete always a pleasure to see you work on your tractors you have a bunch of knowledge and it is so cool for you to share it with your viewers thank you for sharing blessings to you and your family
Love the tractor repair videos Pete! Keep them coming! Thank you!
I'll have to remember that wheel removal technique. Thanks Pete.
What an amazing job you do can I say that you really now what you are doing ever since you started your video do your children follow you on what you do. Great video as always how did you learn what you do yes I now you where into farming as a child but you really have an incredible passion at what you do and it shows in your videos my friend.
Pete, you are a fine engineer.
My goodness, no job is to big for you!
Your mechanical knowledge (most of which goes over my head) is impressive!
And again my friend what a great video and learning opportunity for what you do you really know as I’ve said before what you are doing and it’s nice that you’re able to share it to people that are interested to help them doing for them self’s.
Thank you. It has been years from when I was on the farm. I remember my dad always putting penetrating oil on all the bolts the night before any project. I always knew what the project was 8 hours before we started. Good memories. No disrespect but I'm glad I do not do that for a living. My body would hurt toooooo much. I have always enjoyed the problem solving. Great video!
Gooood morning pete and hil! Have a wonderful day today!! God bless you!
Burtt’s corner farm

got my coffee, lets farm Pete!
Great Find on the seals.
I appreciate all the work you put into your videos Thank you.
We enjoy watching your tractor videos!
Rain makes the grass grow... I like rain.
I dislike the calcium chloride filling. It rots rims.
I kind of suspect they didn't quite get the pre-load right the first time.
Cold and mildy, just like the wetter here, in Hamburg in Germany 😐
Looking forward to seeing all the fixing videos
Lovely to hear the rain on your metal roof. Always a sound of comfort to be hiding away from the elements. Very enjoyable even tho I don't have any tractors to work repair. It's all in the ability of the teacher to connect and hold the interest of the students. You are my professor of tractor repair education until further notice. That is job security for the man with all the lovely old tractors.
I like watching these mechanical vids Pete. I was trained in my younger days as a technical illustrator. I worked on manuals for many different things, from helicopters and jets, submarines to trucks and all sorts. Sadly no tractors. Great vids Pete, thanks for uploading.
A rainy day is a good time to do routine maintainence..
Great video as always. I learned a little bit of tractor bearings on a tractor and the things one will have to consider when address leaks in the seals and how much one might want to address depends on need and work space as well as time down , thanks for sharing. Will be looking forward for the next video and see how the adjustments with the shimming for the bearing and replacement seal's are done.
You must live nearby. Every time you make a comment on the weather, I have the exact same weather lol
Woo hoo! Lots of fix it video’s coming!
Thanks for sharing the video Pete. Hope you get your parts in and you can get it shimmed and resealed soon.
Pete appreciate your content
Great video, Pete! Can't wait to see your other IH tractor jobs ahead!
