Yes a 3\4 inch socket would do ,I got 3\4 inch inpact as well , ho wen you take torck wrench in your hand give it a torck you will know it on the right sid .
When you start the reassembly put the bull gear on the wood stove to heat up. Put the shaft in the freezer to get cold. The heat will expand the part, the cold part will contract. They will slide together a lot easier. Good luck with this project.
on a jd 4430 you warm the bearing (the jd mechanic for 40 yrs) just used a cutting torch to warm it up and it just dropped all the way on could put the bull gear in an oven to warm it up brake drum warmed up with torch might be the only way to get it off
To fix that brake rod I would think about using a bolt sized correctly and cutting the head off and weld it onto the end of the rod, much easier than fabricating a complete new rod
I’ve watched your channel for a long time. I love reality tv. I’m a grandma from Indiana living the dream in CA. It is fun for me to watch you Has anyone else mentioned that the rood grain in the panels by the sand blaster looks like a couple of dogs watching you? Art in the workshop.
For your blasting cabinet, I've got the same one. I used 2 waterproof switch boxes one with a weather proof switch, the other with an outlet. One thing I didn't count on was the advantage that now the cabinet is grounded. Before after running it for a while it would build up static electricity and give me shocks while running it. The switch runs my lights inside and the outlet. Keep the vacuum plugged into the outlet so when I flip the switch both the lights and the vacuum come on at the same time. I also replaced that junk LED light inside with 2 halogen flood lights in each back corner. Also I replaced the factory fasteners for the window with 10-32 machine screws inserted from the inside of the cabinet held in with little flat clips. Then the frame around the window is attached with 10-32 thumb screws to make it easier to change/clean the glass.
Evan you might want to get a shop press i made one out of old bridge arch beam (2 angles riveted together to form an open channel) also harbor freight has some 3/4 in socket set the ratchet didn't last very good but the sockets and slide breaker bar have held up over 10 years slide bar has a slight bend from an 8ft cheater on it BUT!!! i don't recommend their pullers treaded rod bent on ours , renting them might be a smart idea you can get a LOT of money in a good set Oriellys and Napa both loan tools out. lots of utube vids on upgrades for the sandblaster lights and siphon seem to be first steps. Good Luck and Have Fun
Its so amazing the amount of machinery done back in the day without the simplicity of CAD, and CNC tools used today. Long before computers, someone sat with a pen and paper to design-draft specs for each part by hand and another took that and machined each part, and another built more machinery to mass produce each part based on those first parts. Its mind-numbing when you think deep into the production process of everything, old and new.
Make your rods from 7/16 or 1/2" rods and resize the holes in the pedals because they're likely worn. For the threaded end turn the rods down or weld a good quality threaded rod to the ends.
Nice work, Evan. We had a D17 back in the'70s, I loved the little overachiever. The T-shirt I got from you guys is the one with the D17. I might suggest leaving the loader off the tractor when you're done with this project. A tractor is so much handier to use without the loader on, and you already have a fine unit on your big tractor. Just a thought.
What you say is truth, of you have one tractor whit a loader thats enoch but this project is Nice to see ,its a lot of work . I new sombody Here in Holland, 2 brothers ,the have a lot of machines and a lot of tractors ,15 or so ,and all of these tractors have a loader, al of them. So 2 is not enough 😊😊
My dad went with a propane/oxygen torch set up. He had propane tractors so we always had propane on the yard and could just fill up our 20 lb. bottle. Propane isn't as hot as acetalyne but we got along fine and it may take a different tip. Do some research. Good luck on your project
I hope you show the video putting that clip on the shaft. Back in 1976, I had a 3/4 ton pickup, I had a garage replace the tires and wheels. They put the lug nuts on so tight, I put a breaker bar and a 12 foot pipe just to loosen them. I was thinking about buying this tractor that I saw on Market Place that needs major work, cause now I know a guy who could fix it! How about that, Evan?
The puller you need will be quite expensive and unless you are going to do a lot of major repairs that need a puller that size it would not be cost effective.. You might consider waiting until you get all the axle parts then taking the axles to a farm machine shop with a press that can handle the axles and put everything back together for you. Putting the snap ring back in might be your biggest challenge.
Tight is tight, too tight is broken 🤣 happens to all of us! Hey to fix that rod maybe use 3/8 threaded rod. You can tack weld your spring hanger to it, bend one end and put a hole, and the other end should thread right in. Just a thought!
Just saw your video about your new dump wagon and you talking about backing it and your hay wagons into the barn l had the same problem until l put a bracket on the front of one of my tractor's and then you can drive them right into where ever you want
Evan, I second what "The Farmer" suggested. replace all of the bearings while you have it apart, for simple peace of mind. Most of us have been where you are; not having the tools for the job at hand. You are doing good. I have a lot of tools from Harbor Freight, simply because I needed them for a task and have never used them again. Theoretically, they will last a lifetime.
And I have learned that if you want a tool to last a lifetime, pay good money for it. If you try to get stuff on the cheap you will end up buying it twice.
Yep, I don't know how many cans of PB Blaster a shop goes through in a year working on older equipment. A spray on nuts and bolts can often save time and worries, even with an impact wrench. When in doubt get a bigger hammer and put on some heat. That usually gets things going.
Propane won't heat as much as acetylene on a torch. Propane is okay for thinner iron but for heavier metal you need acetylene. Just a heads up so that you can make an informed decision.
Evan, you are right about having the right tools to work with, especially on old equipment, bu t I have to say you have made do until you can get them. Steve's idea on the stove and freezer are good suggestions.
FYI gas cylinder source is the best price I have found on new oxygen cylinders ship to your door then you just trade it in on a full one. Shop around on your options. I just bought the Victor performer torch set with the edge 2.0 regulator’s lifetime warranty on regulators and 10 year on torch handle and cutting attachment.
You really should use PB Blaster about 24 hrs in advance,very liberally,and then use heat when you try to loosen those fasteners. Makes life a bit easier...........and you'll break fewer bolts.
That tractor is one whole mammoth task but every time I see you work on it, it makes me wonder whatever happened to my friend Alice Chalmers from primary school days. 😃
After Alice got a sex change from tractor to woman she bought Alice's Restaurant, sold it, sex changed to a guy, became Alice Cooper, sex change back to woman, became Alice in Chains. I've lost tractor who, where, and what he is now but the world hasn't been the same since Alice and Chalmers got divorced. Can I get an Amen?
They do make 3 and 4 foot breaker bars. I have a Snap-on one, but that's more money then you need to spend. Truthfully the best place I have found to buys tools is actually Amazon. I wish I knew about Amazon when I started wrenching on cars and stayed off those tool trucks. I found out over the years that a lot of those tool truck branded tools are just made by other companies. Which are always cheaper if you find out who it's made by. On your compressor consider an auto drier system for it. They are easy to install and help keep alot of the water out of the system and extend the life of the compressor. Oh and like other people said get a shop press and parts to go with it like bearing separators.
It's a long, hard job to get those axles out. I'd replace all the bearings while I had the whole thing apart. I'd hate to see you get this all buttoned back up only to have the 'good' bearing that you didn't replace come apart on you a couple months down the road. Good job so far, Evan!
I've broken 2 breaker bars. each of them, the ears the pin goes through bent out which made everything fly apart. Last time, I used my biggest locking pliers to hold the ears together so I could finish up my project.
Some pieces of flat strap will make your puller as long as you need it to be. My worry is that you will actually need a 25 ton set of pullers which the set you have is probably only a 10 ton set, if that. A nice set of full size Victor torches, regulators, and big tanks cost a bundle but then you are pretty well set up for life. Maybe buy them for Rebecca as a birthday present? jack
Just a suggestion on the brake rod would be calling a salvage yard to find a good one. A lot of d17’s made so I don’t think it would be hard to find a used one.
One thing you might think of getting is a hydraulic press, it will come in very handy for all kinds of things, I recommend at least 20 ton press, and actually when putting it back together you will want to heat the bearings to around 250 degrees, the bullgear floats on the shaft, the bearings are pressed into place
Love your videos. Question though is why you didn't power wash the tractor before starting to tear it apart. Would have gotten a lot of the caked on dirt and grim out of your way first. Keep up the great videos.
I too needed large wrenches. Found them at Harbor Freight. Cheap and will work fine for the few times I may have to work on my tractor or skid steer. I also bought a hammer puller from Amazon at a good price and it has worked excellent for me on bearings and hubs I had to pull. Just some thoughts Evan. I enjoy your channel a lot!
When you are doing something like you are taking apart something you have never disassembled before, it is best practices to do 1 side at a time in case you get stuck and unclear how the first one goes back together properly you have the other side as reference. !
Evan, I use propane in my shop and it burns hotter and cleaner. I have to strike it off a metal plate to set my Victor head. If you make it up to the Mattoon are they have several shops such as harbor freight, home depot and ilmo for your torch supply. Great video
I would get a bigger torch for the shop but use propane because it last a whole lot longer than acetylene and it’s cheaper. But use a bigger torch gun. Looking good so far.
You can lease tools at part stores if the tool is say $100 you pay that for a deposit and get it back when you return the tool.Best option if you are only using it one time.
Takes a while to gather up everything you need for bigger repairs. You would really benefit from a good set of 3/4 tools. Good ratchet sockets and pull bar. You are doing good. You will get it done.
Amazing the things you know how to do....that certainly helps keep the cost down. Thanks for sharing with us and I have enjoyed watching how you do it. Have a Blessed day.
If you are going to work on old iron you definitely need a bigger torch setup and a 3/4" socket set. Also--run some fixed iron pipe along your walls for your air. It will help water condense and then be filtered out in your trap. You can set up several hookup points in the shop. The more pipe the air has to run through, the drier it will be. Moisture is your enemy when sandblasting or painting.
On that brake rod. If you don't want to recreate the whole rod you could thread back a ways on the rod, then cut it and then thread an extension on to it and then get a all thread section and thread into that extension and put a couple of tack welds on it. If you are needing it to slide through a hole, you could cut it past the threads and weld on some all thread and then clean up your weld. Then repaint.
Hi, Evan! Your shop is so nice. Your mechanical knowledge and skill set amaze me. You put in a hard day’s work, but the Allis-Chalmers is getting some much needed TLC.
Great Video, at my age I live vicariously. 3/4" sockets, breaker and ratchet (HF) Reducer for electric impact. 3/4" Air Gun (optional) You can take on any large projects, but, you already know all that. Glad you have Star Link, I've heard good things. Again, thanks for the videos. No maintenance on the A-C in a l-o-n-g time.
l dont know who you use for parts but SANDY LAKE IMPL in PA are AGCO dealers and have new and used parts for the older allis tractors and ship parts!! l live in IA and they help me with lots of parts. l be watchin!!!!
Harbor Freight is your source for your tool needs. I purchased a 3/4" SAE socket set that goes up to 2" socket and a Large combination wrench set that goes up to 2" I think they will be under $100 per set. I don't use mine much but I have them when I need them. I have the same sets in metric. I don't know if they have a puller big enouch. Good luck on your project
I see in the comments people say you need a hydraulic press. I agree. My choice is 20 ton press from Harbor Freicht. Spend the money and also get their 20 ton air over hydraulic jack for the press. Use your air comprssor to run the pump. Much faster than pumping the jack plus you will have the original hand jack to use on the farm.
Replace all of the bearings!!! It’ll ensure you won’t have to take them part again to replace just one side! In the ag mechanics world if you replace one side replace the other!
Have you put this all back together yet? I finally got my brakes out. My left side drum is not snug and has about 1 inch of play. I'm afraid I'll have to pull the axle to figure out what is missing. I was hoping it was something simple like a clip i could put on without pulling it. Any pictures you could share?
Buy tools online.Ebay and online auctions offer good Deals. Proto and J H Williams tools are very high quality but not commonlt available in stores. Also lifetime guaranatees
Love seeing you work on this tractor. We had one similar to it in the 60.s.
Love your honesty Evan 🍻. I enjoy your channel
you need to get you some books on your old tractor's help you out good video good job keep up the good work ethic
Yes a 3\4 inch socket would do ,I got 3\4 inch inpact as well , ho wen you take torck wrench in your hand give it a torck you will know it on the right sid .
I notice you never use Kroil on the nuts to loosen them. It actually reaches threads.
I am stunned to see that the parts are even available after all this time!
When you start the reassembly put the bull gear on the wood stove to heat up.
Put the shaft in the freezer to get cold.
The heat will expand the part, the cold part will contract. They will slide together
a lot easier.
Good luck with this project.

Any reason to buy more tools is a great day.
To fix that brake rod I would think about using a bolt sized correctly and cutting the head off and weld it onto the end of the rod, much easier than fabricating a complete new rod
yup and clamp it in a angle iron to hold it straight while welding it
WHAT A PROJECT - Looks like some Pros on board with good ideas - none from me - I'm a retired baker.
You could help with some dough!!!

I'm rebuilding a farmall M and it's all most done love the videos
One of the things you need is a hydraulic press to press the bearings off! Enjoyed watching you Evan, brought back alot of memories!
Can’t imagine how hard it will be to get that clip back on. No man ever said I have too many tools!
Amazes me what you can fix. And willingness to try
For your blasting cabinet, I've got the same one. I used 2 waterproof switch boxes one with a weather proof switch, the other with an outlet.

Nice job Evan,a lot of work ,but you make the work done ,i am sure.

Bearing separators and some large pullers to go with them..... necessities when working on equipment for sure. Good Work!!
Fascinating. Always great to watch you resolve the problems. You are a very smart man.

Beware of projects that require new tools. Yay for projects that require new tools!

don't buy a bunch of pullers, just get adapters for your hydraulic press makes it much easier

Try heating the drums to remove. Heat the bull gear and outer bearing to install. Outdoor grill good heater

I'm glad changing the brake shoes on my model 60 John Deere is is alot simpler lol
I would strongly suggest you purchase a quality torch set and regulators like Victor brand. They are well worth it in the end

Evan a press would come in handy for that work as well.
Remember to replace both side seals and bearings never only replace one side as they should be the same age
Use 2 nuts and double nut on a stud like that, you can than use a open end wrench to turn it off. Saves taring up the stud with a pipe wrench.

Congratulations on quiting your job. And working on the ranch full time. You are living the dream.
Rarely does working on old iron go quickly, smoothly or as planned. Keep on keeping on, Evan. You'll get 'er done.
Evan, to buy you new wrenches, pullers etc would you have to go to Indianapolis or St Louis. Assume both are about an hour from your farm.
Amazing the things you know how to do....that certainly helps keep the cost down. Thanks for sharing with us and I have enjoyed watching how you do it. Have a Blessed day.
You might find a hydraulic press handy to press bearings without destroying your sockets.

Does the town have a Northern Tool? We have NT in the Dallas area and they tend to have better quality tools than Harbor Freight.
No northern tool nearby. Lowes, menards, harbor frieght, rural king. And auto parts stores.
When it comes to tools bigger is better 😁
Can you please make a video of the utvs at rural king?
A big press is another item you need.
Conduit bender as a cheater pipe, nice. Very impressive.
Great Video, at my age I live vicariously.
3/4" sockets, breaker and ratchet (HF)
Reducer for electric impact.
3/4" Air Gun (optional)
You can take on any large projects, but, you already know all that.

Have you put this all back together yet? I finally got my brakes out. My left side drum is not snug and has about 1 inch of play. I'm afraid I'll have to pull the axle to figure out what is missing. I was hoping it was something simple like a clip i could put on without pulling it. Any pictures you could share?
its ashame there aint no farm auctions near you for tools have you tried a tyre iron for wrenching pesuader
Love to see all the extra jobs that need doing on the farm 👍
Want to see how you get the broken stud out
Fabricate arms for ur puller. As for ur breaker bar fab one.
Buy tools online.Ebay and online auctions offer good Deals. Proto and J H Williams tools are very high quality but not commonlt available in stores. Also lifetime guaranatees
don't forget to drill out or weld a nut on that broken stud , it should be more easy to remove with the housing off the tractor
