Video

I’m working on a WD 45 with my dad. He knows the 45s inside and out. I love your attention to detail. These videos are extremely informative. Well done.

Put a coolant filter kit on that iron engine with a zinc plug

Did you replace the bearings?

❤❤

I'm about to try and get one of these running again. It's a beautiful tractor

I've also heard of people using Pine Sol in their ultrasonic cleaners as a cleaning medium.

Where did you get that intake, I can't find one.

I have a bit of everything cheap through to expensive my big mic is a mitutoyo 8-9 inch waiting for it to be sent out

Thanks for making this video.

Am a show off to my friends.. like that.. by the way, am in the training process. 😂

I recently bought a used 2010 Club Car DS with 12” wheels with no lift and the front left tire barely rubs at full turn. Do you think adding a brand new left spring would help with the slight rub on the front tire or am I better off buying new shocks/putting a block to lift it slightly?

Really appreciate all the work you put into making sure bushings are replaced and that things like the steering, pedals etc are nice and tight. It was cool to watch you machine the shafts and other holes in previous videos. I would love to someday drive an AC that has had the same amount of care put into it as this one and see how much better it feels compared to our fleet of unrestored ones that we use for various things on the farm here in northern Iowa. Also thanks for the vids. I’ve been binging through the entire playlist you put together on this tractor. I have a later WD that they put the WD 45 transmission in in the factory. I will definitely reference some of these videos in the future when I have to take things apart. Especially the starter one! Thanks again!

Rebuilding the steering box on a WD45…? You mean cleaning, because there is no one man enough to have ever wore it out

Now do the drag lol

I just rebuilt one of these and the governor was not connected. I am trying to utilize the governor again as the g226 runs an irrigation pump and the pipeline it draws from gets air in it sometimes and i dont want the thing to fly appart if this happens. Id like to know if you or anyone in the comments know if when the motor is off with the governor set in its slowest position is the carburetor set at wide open throttle? Also at 7:26 your right hand is on the linkage that connects to the throttle. Do you know what direction it travels when opening the throttle? Like if you manually moved that linkage to the front of the motor would that increase or decrease the rpm? Thanks! Nice build.

That rusty relic still makes prefect parts. As they say, you pay for quality once.

What is the lift and duration of the cam I understand that you can't go to high on the lift info ive seen recommended not exceed 477 is this correct

Thank you for these videos. I bought a 185 used and have been slowly working on it. You provide a great reference!

Bang up job, it’s as good as new!

Man that is one nice restoration! I have the same lawn mower but it’s not in as good shape. These videos have been helpful for me to learn a little more about my own machine.

Nice work Jason! 😎👍 Good call on using the clay to check clearances. Happy wrenching my friend 🔧🔩

Everything’s goin together like a fine tuned Swiss watch Jason. Too bad they haven’t made a 1 piece design oil pan gasket. Seemed like a little bit of a hassle to get just right, but everything looks so great!👍

Good tech. Nice to someone else building a Poly!

390?

I recently acquired a WD45 and the rear 2-point lift arm system stopped working and there seems to be plenty of fluid. Any recommendations on what I should do next?

FFS Caarl😒

Glad to see it wasn’t all rusted out behind the cover. For being 60 years old it’s in amazing shape back there. The less body work/rust repair you have to do the better!

wtf just happened here?

what is the lockout thumb screw on the cam of the hydraulic control valve for, mine was rusted so it wouldn't turn

Nice work Jason! 😁👍 I've heard those tops can be a bear to deal with 🔧

I have painted some wheels with the tires still mounted ,removed the air and used playing cards between the tire and wheel , easy to push in , worked great

thought the hole is for the fuel gauge dipstick

Yesterday I couldn't even spell machinist. Today I are one! That thing is dead nuts. 😂

Do you have any idea which color wire at the ignition switch shorts out the spark?

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh Perfect

😂😂😂😂😂

Well done. I haven't done that since the 1990s.

brah... 🤣

It’s a lot harder than it looks. That timing wheel is a pretty cool piece of kit. Just like everything else you’ve done to this engine, a little precision and extra effort goes a LOONNG way.👍. Looks like you guys were having a lot of fun🤣

😅

Pretty funny. I get it.

What intake is that? Who makes it?

Looks like you both had fun with the video! 🤣 Always good to double check just to make sure. Happy wrenching my friend 🔧🔩

Do you realize how many people will watch this and have no idea what is happening there? I used to run a Bridgeport and I could get a true zero but this is cheating

The latheworkers will know...

Awesome work Jason! There’s so many steps and small details to remember. I know it’s tedious work but it’ll be worth it when you’re doing burn outs down the road🤣

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Dont understqnd

The diagnosing video when the engine was still in the car, you found the intake valve not opening. What caused the low or no compression? What did you find when you tore the engine apart?

Does anyone know a part number for the shaft seal in the gearbox? This is different than a Ross Gearbox on a B series tractor as the shaft diameter is larger on a C series tractor.
