I am an enthusiast of anything old and mechanical. I enjoy fabricating, creating, fixing, repairing. My interests have changed throughout the years, ranging from blacksmithing and knifesmithing, to chainmaille jewelry and armor, vintage chainsaws, old tractors, construction equipment, trucks, cars, and flywheel engines of all kinds.
Old iron has a history and a story to tell, and it's up to us greasy gearheads to revive these old machines and let them speak again! Pick up a wrench and learn how to fix something... it's a skill that fewer and fewer people desire to learn, but it is addictive and indescribably satisfying.
Over the years that I have been interested in this field, I have learned a fair amount of tips and tricks of the trade, both on my own and from invaluable old-timers who have forgotten more than I could ever hope to know. On my channel I endeavor to teach and show and instruct my viewers the skills and knowledge that I have learned so it will not be forgotten.

Bro's either canadian or wisconsin'. either way, yuk.
When changing the governor spring the gasket must be replaced between upper and lower housing? Do you have a recommended supplier for that? Thank you.
@@EugeneSantos-o9k it's rubber, I re used mine.
The “cold air intake” was a complete waste of money.

Watching it at 2.0 speed that Cummins sounds like a Detroit. LOL
Ashley Babbitt’s relatives must have done this in the past.
9 years later... Thanks for the ideas.
I found this video when searching for what the serrated side was for. Right now they are on clearance at HF for $5. It's really impressive for a small HF wrench. You're right, having one of these in the trunk is a great idea. Think I'll get a couple more just for that purpose. Thanks
You are SO lucky to have the earlier pin! My 350B has the later pins that are pressed in. I found that using a "C" shaped 1/8" wedge washer or shim in the gaps between tge outer and inner link sides helos prevent the outer link sides from binding up on the pin. I use a 20 tom Harbor Freight low profile jack attachment on my portapower to push the pin out 3/8" at a time, a pain in the ass for sure, but it works. The later press-in pins have a smaller diameter in the center where the link bushing runs, so it is only difficult where the larger diameter pin ends push through the outer link sides.
If thats a 100 pound tank,how long does it last for you
OK, those pain in the ass sleeves for the draw bar arc are an idiotic attempt at combining locating dowel pins and retaining bolts that fail miserably. If you have a lathe, you could make shoulder bolts , threaded into the casting to take their place. Several of minw have bolts broken off in the pins, and because I don't use the draw bar dor anything other than dragging trees, I did not mess with them.
I've been wanting to do something like that, but never got around to it!
OFF topic, but I'm trying to put new gauges in my 1969 JD 350 and the gauges either don't work or they peg out to max. Can you show a picture of the voltage regulator on your dozer and how to check it to see if it's good or bad
No idea, check the manual.
Not sure why but use bar magnetic 1x2 not ring
I had these magnets available to me already, and each face is a pole so I can direct the magnetism accordingly. If I used a bar magnet I'd have to support it vertically.
@themadmailler just saying Seen a video said to not use ring magnets use one 2 by one bar magnetic said would take to long to say why
That poor clutch
Very helpful! I have an old John Deere MC (1951) and I believe the process is very similar. Much better then trying to go by the MC Manual!

I have the same truck and it say for awhile and recently pulled it out and steering was super loose and inpredictable. Took a look and rag was all tore up and the hardware was gone on one side of the 2 bolts going from truck to rag and the other one was loose. Scary.... I appreciate the thorough video. I pulled mine and it wouldnt telescope. Isnt that the point of this shaft? So if the body flexes and moved it wont be pulling on thr rag joint?
This is perfect for pipe

Sorry...But that's not good enough ...
Hello again themadmailer, I am trying to see reversing the linkages so it will be on the inside like you said I am wondering if that would cause stepping on the gas to be backwards, lol. I know I will have to see that when I get back to Oregon in a couple weeks. Thanks for the replay
Hello, i am sorry to post this off subject. I commented on your last year video about your 1965 case backhoe where you fixed your hydraulic cylinder. Here us the question i asked.- Hello themadmailer, i have a 1960 case 540, my books say a 530 is diesel and a gas one is a 540, maybe thats the way they did it in 1960. Anyway i had to put another engine in it and i have two carburetors and they both are backwards. I mean if i put one on to where the carb will plug into the air breather, toward the front of tractor, then the throtle is on the outside so will not hook up to the governor linkage. Do you or would you show how yours is hooked up? Thank you
I don't have mine any more. But I replaced a carb in my 350 a while ago and the linkage was backwards I think, but you can remove all the parts and put it on the other side.

The "guards" are superfluous and ineffective. You are kidding yourselves about safetly. Ours HAD no guards. (And it should have) Dad built ours, had a table on rollers, which made it all instantly mobile. There was nothing of the saw equipment anywhere near the ground. I was maybe 11-12 when first drafted into service "throwing away" the cut wood ---into a pickup or trailer. Ours was a rubber tired 24-28 Farmall regular, which we bought from my great uncles. Late '50's through the 60;s, I am now 75
Muy bueno!
Guten tight!
lol you dont over pack it because it will bind with the grease , it doesnt freeze as you say lol
looks great so far! thanks for sharing!

In the thumbnail, on the right side of the image, next to where your left foot would go, there is a curved small lever that sets between the two steering clutch levers. What is that thing for? I think it controls something to do with the transmission, but can’t figure it out.
Pto lever.
@@themadmailler Thanks
Great idea! Thank you!!
I am so so happy you posted this video. I bought a log cabin and it was sloping in one corner ( where they had installed the bathroom with a 40 gallon water heater or) so I think it has the same issue likes your cabin with the stove. We now came back after the third winter and it seems to have sunken again in this corner. So I will now try to gather all my courage and tackle this , step by step as you did this 😱😱 Oh one question, where could I borrow the jacks ? Thanks
I need to know how to bench test that voltage regulator .. I'm assuming if you put 12-volt on the ignition lug you should be able to measure output on the other lug provided the casing is grounded but I need the value that I should be looking for thanks BC
I have driven a lot of Mack Trucks over the years, but I never had the privilege to drive a B series, I'm 65 I'm not dead yet so I'm holding out for my opportunity LOL damn that is one beautiful truck!!
If you pin the cam it will break loose much easier
There is a guide plate kit 4 bucks
big sprokets can be dangerous could catch a shirt.
I eventually used this engine to make a buggy and put a chain guard on it! I have a few videos of it.
You need to steam clean your tractor quickly soon
It would be nice or great if you steam clean the dozer
Appreciate the info. Don't use metric tools cuz it's an "American shop"...lol. Yeah, I'm sure you never have to use metric tools on small engine repair. Oh, and by the way, we use the Imperial unit...from Great Britain, not "American". Just sayin'
Just found your channel love it what model number is the gas regulator as we are working on ours now
I check throw out buy placing a dial indicator on a machinist magnet on the sprocket side bottom flange zero it out continue to tighten and I use a tire iron to lift the flange while reading the guage the right pre loading is important as to not have to much play . I did it once on my 2010 crawler. Excellent video
Did you replace any of the ball joints in the steering clutch linkage?
No, they were fine.
Hey what were the symptoms of the vp44 going out, like did it started to smoke 💨 my fass pump went out and didn’t know drove it around 3 days straight. Now it’s putting blue smoke well white smoke with in burnt diesel.
