This was a great one, when you start disassembling I thought it will be great to see the installation of that

How's she goin'? A very nice job of rebuilding this versa-matic transmission and shifters. Some nice machining and fitting needed. And you came up with some neat work arounds to get things done. Take care!!

Hi Joseph good to see your milling machine set up. Nice repair job. Cheers Tony

Good job.

Great job on the versamatic Joseph. The bushing you pressed in took out the rest of the slop. Take care 🔧😂

Great setup for drilling out that bracket. Way better than twisting it all up by not supporting it. Nice one Joseph! Keep it up my friend.

Good Morning Joseph Crew 😇😇👍👍Very Nice Mill and nice work too 👍😇👌Nice Patina On Them ( Sound Like Tractor Man 44 ( Wendell ) 🤣👍 Truly OUTSTANDING Video That You Have Made Both Of You Good Folks 👌😇👍Cheers 🍻🍻

Sometimes you have to make modifications to fit your needs.

Great job supporting the work piece while you drilled it out for the bushing. It fits together nice with the bushing. Brilliant job

Great job Joseph and Iain. Expert work as always. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

I don't know why watching the steal curl off the drill bit is so satisfying, but it is. Fine job Joseph. Better than new.

Full watch Joseph!!!

Good afternoon Joseph!

Nice one Joseph, i think having a look see at the engine is good idea like you said you may need parts.

That’s a good chunk of progress on the rebuild. Good work 👍

Quite an extensive rebuild. You doing a great job!

Another great video - thanks for sharing. If you are concerned about welding next to a hole in a shaft and accidently filling the hole in (such as your cotter pin hole) you could insert a round head machine screw, sheet metal screw or hex headed bolt (depending on what is handy - keep it a loose fit) and then if you do accidently get too close you just weld a bit of the head - sometimes this is even useful as it keeps the screw or bolt from falling out as the shaft is rotated. Once you are done welding you can cut the head off with a hack saw or sand it off with a flap wheel / grinding disc at the shaft level and remove the screw or bolt. Was once taught that if you have a round piece of carbon the correct diameter it can be placed in a larger sized worn or damaged hole and then one can weld up to the carbon material and the carbon will keep the hole reasonably round. Once done remove the carbon and then your hole area should be close to the correct roundness on the inside. Never had a piece of carbon to try it but thought I would mention it if you ever need to try and save a larger hole area in the future.

it looks very good,, but I never could do intricate things like that with gloves on..lol

Thats another top of the shelf restoration segment and I must say that everything is going very well my friend,,,,CHEERS

Good progress, my engine project is currently stalled in the tear down stage.

Excellent job Joseph, the rust preventer makes it stand out good 👌👌👍👍

Hello Joseph. Thanks for taking us along, I really enjoyed watching the progress. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Ben

Great video my friend 👏 like 1

Finally, I'm able to watch your video!! Been so busy lately. I enjoy watching your rebuild, I like learning new things! I like how you solve any problems that you run into. Take care

This looked like a fun event to watch! It seems like most of the trucks were what we call cabover design. We don't have many like this over here but rather a long hood out front design. Take care.

Hello Joseph. Thanks for putting these videos together for us. We enjoyed watching them with our morning coffee. I find it interesting, the difference in the styling of the trucks between the United Kingdom, and North America. Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍

So much fun to find a sheared off bolt, isn't it? That's a creative solution: grinding the bolt off a bit and using the available threads!

Great work

that is so cool joseph, you really know how to sig my ma

I've just bought the ring 4amp 900 series charger, it's basically an upgrade on this 800 series allowing lithium batteries to be charged and slightly higher 9 stage charging progress, the display is larger and brighter and just has the mode button to click through the various battery choices.I ordered from ring website and used the 10% first order discount and it was free postage, not used it yet but i do agree the instructions could be improved and a case/bag would've been handy, but I'll just keep it in original box for storage, also by using the ring website you get an extra year warranty a total of 2 yrs.

Nice work partner. You're growing up man. Jason

Great job on getting that cleaned up and put back together.

Where did you find al those parts-I thought they might be difficult to have-in the uK OR USA.THanx.

How's she goin'? Nice job stripping down and then rebuilding the Versa-matic clutch assembly. Nice that you managed to get all the seized parts freed up and it looks like it'll work great now. Take 'er easy!!

Well done mate

Rolling chassis ! A pivotal moment for any build 👍

Looks like I have missed quite a few video's, look forward to catching up 👍 That Lawn Master unit is not the prettiest or most refined machine by the look of it... maybe a good reason for there not to be much available info on it. If anybody can bring it back it will be yourselves 👍

It was very interesting watching you working on that assembly. I'm glad that broken bolt wasn't to much of a headache. Take care my friend 🔧👍

Great video Joseph! I enjoy watching the teardown and rebuild of assemblies like that. Your attention to detail is very well trained. I would be so tempted to paint the parts in order to bring the machine back to its original sheen. Take care!

That assembly is as good as new. Good work 👍

Hey Joseph. Well done. The assembly cleaned up well and now the service parts can be maintained with confidence.

that is back to nearly new condition now,, good job.

Great work Joseph, you are getting really well versed on these tractors and can fix them with your eyes closed almost. Thanks and have a great weekend

Great idea to check the needle bearings for movement, before install. Great progress fellas. Expert work as always. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

Looks like everything is moving smoothe now.

Nice video. I hope that you packed some grease into the needle bearings before assembly. Good Luck, Rick

Well done once again Joseph. That machine is going to be just like a new one , once you guys are all done with it....CHEERS

Another piece of the puzzel ready to go. Nice job!

Excellent job, now you know its working at least

Great work, Joseph. And we always appreciate your detailed explanation of each of the steps in restoring the assembly at hand. Good stuff !!! Have a great weekend.
