  • In this video I take a 440 Duromax out of my pickup truck and install it in my old 1940s Farmall tractor and then I take it to the farm and Bush hog with it.

    It’s incredible how tractors with a few horsepower can do so much. That is impressive. I am amazed that friction clutch does as well as it does under that kind of load.

    Glad to see that something being broke doesn’t mean it’s trash. Good job!

    1400 revs into the transmission is a little down from stock, but not a lot - stock is 1650. The tractor was originally rated at 24 on the belt; a big Briggs or Honda V-twin can put out that kind of power all day.

    I’ve got an ISEKI 4x4 tractor a customer left at my shop about 15 years ago with a bad engine. I plan on putting a 440 DuroMax in this winter when my work slows down.

    Wow! I cant wait to see it with the Big tires.
    I agree with you about how the channel grew from making small engines do incredible things.
    Just noticed how many subs you have.
    You've come a long ways Chris, but there is still a long road ahead before you can leave the sugar water place!
    Great video,

    Just thought I'd add, you may consider regearing your chain drive so engine will run closer to it's governed rpm's. This will insure max power and less slippage on you clutch and more power for you pto. You apparently have the gears to increase or decrease your speed as needed. Takk

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  Před 4 měsíci

      In this video I tried to match the stock PTO RPM, I have purchased the new sprocket to slow it down a bit but increased the torque like you mentioned 👍👍👍

  • @christophersilsby7829

    When running through thicker grasses, run half pathes for less stress on the tractor and brushhog😂

      I have to do that a lot, my little Farmall c is a bit underpowered for tall grass. Thanks for watching!

  • @gregorybarger5591
    @gregorybarger5591 Před 5 měsíci +1

    I like to give the tractor an additional function ! In the empty space in front add 02or03 batteries and connect to 01 or 02 marine power inverters for electric power back up when & where ever needed on the farm or cattle farm.
    Also would add 01 or 02 multi purpose fire suppresion hand units just in case of possible engine malfunction or issue while on the farm especially during dry drought time frames. One issue on any farm is the repair and mending of fence !
    Design a open type fence caddy to fit in the space aeound my power converter with assortment of fencing repair items.
    That empty space is only limited by one's imagination of thoughts. Enjoy the blessings of and from God .

    @davemartin1534 Před 6 měsíci +1

    It amazing me why in these air cooled motors conversions. No one has put a truck 4 speed transmission between the engine and tractor transmission. That would give somewhere around 20 speed. And multiple form in 1 gear tractor and grany grunt 1st gear 4 speed the trouble would be traction with equvent to close 100 hp with this engine.

    When was the last time the blade was sharpened? It would probably do even better with a sharper blade.

  • @haroldbrown5887

    Actually I'd like to see you put hydraulics on it are they using the secondary PTO or actually put in a separate predator to run a hydraulic pump. Imagine how much more useful would be with a front end loader impossibly even a little backhoe hooked to the back end.😊 It is extremely nice to see a piece of good equipment salvage from the grave.

    Can you build one with v belts and a tensioner as the clutch it would be much cheaper to maintain and you would be able to put a new belt on without tools and in the woods right or where ever it stops

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  Před 10 dny

      I think about building a tension clutch all the time I just haven't ever done it because the centrifugal clutches in this application work very well however I absolutely am going to build one for this vehicle one day.

  • @jerryb1234
    @jerryb1234 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Why wouldn't you put the biggest engine you have on the tractor?, are you going to bush-hog with the truck?,🤨, I fail too see logic in any of these decisions,🙄, but I do have mad respect for your creativity,😉👍, and that cute donkey should get more camera time, lol, awesome video bro, thanks for sharing.

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  Před 9 měsíci

      Keep in mind most of these videos are "what if" and "I wonder if I could____ ______ _____" kind of content. As far as the 670 in the truck, 50 MPH was the goal and it hasn't been met yet. If I start with the biggest engine in everything I'm killing a lot of content on the way to the biggest engine. And with limited resources you have to plan ahead what your doing without going broke.

  • @farfromperfect4643
    @farfromperfect4643 Před měsícem

    Have you thought about adding a 12v water pump to water down the outside edge of the clutch? Perhaps it'd extend the life of it? I haven't priced any of this stuff yet so no idea if it's worth it or not. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm

      Interesting , I don't think it gets hot enough to have to cool it.

  • @REVYMERCENARY
    @REVYMERCENARY Před 28 dny

    You could just use the tractor motor to drive it. And get a second predator motor to just run the bushhog.

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  Před 28 dny

      The tractor engine had a big crack in it at the back where the camshaft set in the block.

    • @REVYMERCENARY
      @REVYMERCENARY Před 27 dny

      @ChrisfromKeyfarm So you are saying that little one? Thunder creditor motor has a crack in it. I didn't know. I thought it was the one I was talking about. That was driving the tractor in the video. After all, I mean it the only motor on the tractor to begin with.. I was telling him he should use the Predator motor to drive to Tractor and Put Another one on bushhog.

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  Před 26 dny

      I'm sorry I misunderstood You're right I could do that I'm trying to make the tractor powerful enough to do everything.

  • @jacobdavidson4171

    • @ChrisfromKeyfarm
      @ChrisfromKeyfarm  Před 7 měsíci

      It would probably work fine, but since it stays at a constant rpm, a clutch works really well for a lot less

  • @kenschultz3836

    if you delete the belly pump you'll get more power, all the tractor pulling teams remove them for more boost.
