Excellent video coverage of the legendary 1050 tractor. We need all the videos possible, especially like the one youve posted here Man as the models were/are so damn reliable it's rare for any "real" issues, although in my book you just fixed a "real" issue. So many wrong stats, wrong statement's and outright intentionally misleading talk by people
@@soulgravygarage8409 the 50 series is far from the most advanced tractor ever made, hell let's be honest far from the most comfortable easy going tractor. What the 50 series is-is an extremely reliable straight forward overbuilt workhorse. She's basically a very ugly ole girl with a perfect body that'll love you better than any dream haha You Really did do an excellent job Man 👍🇺🇸 our 1980's tractors are becoming more and more sought after as I'm sure youve seen the resales climbing in price it's all the guys like us who know what they are and do not want to get bored out when something happens on a brand new model and we realistically an legally can't touch it! These old girls were meant to be left out on the jobsite/field aswell as worked on (within reason obviously) right there too Outta curiosity have you found almost all listed capacities are far below the real ones? I came across an old timer a year or 2 ago who was a Deere mechanic when these were sold new, he said Deere didn't wanna recertify the 1050 from the 950 and simply listed all the same capacity for it. But the 1050 with the 75 loader is well known for 1500lbs most of the way up, the 75 loader has better geometry over the model 80 which is why she lifts more yet the 80 being newer Deere had to certify it so she was rated at a newer spec and higher than the 75! Even tho that 75 easily lifts more.....i cannot say if that's 100% accurate but from first hand experience I agree with it, gotta love the history of these tractors how/why and even who made em. We need someone to make a video of the tractors TRUELY being tested to see what they're real capacity is
How did you get the top shaft so loose. Did the bearing to the rear stay in the case. Mine is staying on the shaft. With ring and washer removed Did you pull the bottom shaft out any or just removed the bearing on the front? Thanks Jason
Sounds like the snap ring is still on the back of top shaft...look at 7:43. There are two snap rings on the gears that have to be removed. All I can say is that it's all in the video, I didn't hide anything. I can say this was a real PITA. Be careful and take your time. Hope that helps...
Thanks for the great video! Mine broke on my 950 today and it was just what I wanted to see .

@@johnserrano9689 Interesting. Never looked at the capacities, but not surprised. Still using this tractor...

Good video, can you remember roughly how many hours to point of getting the shifter in place?
Thanks
About 4 hours...
How long would you say this repair took you to complete ? I have to do this to my 950 , I’m been stuck in low range for about a year now.
Just a few hours
Thanks for the video!! What caused that to break?
There was a hairline crack, prolly from welding....I welded it back...All it does is move a shift fork.
@@soulgravygarage8409 Welding from the factory?
@@toddboden972 Yes, welded from the factory...
