    It's been over 50 years since I helped change oil on our 2 G's, sure brought back memories.
    Used to cultivate with a narrow front with a 4 row, sure wish we had the power steering kit on ours! No live hydraulics made turning that thing around and getting onto the next 4 rows a bear. Pop always made me stop in the ends to lift the cultivator. Get to the end, clutch back, shift to neutral, clutch ahead-raise cultivator, clutch back-shift into 2nd-clutch ahead and then try to turn that thing around. Was the toughest kid in school mostly from cultivating corn and beans with that G.

    Take it for what you want but I've been a mechanic for many years and worked on many old equipment I have a 1949 a and the way I got that sludge out of mine was ATF in with the motor oil and driving it and then changing it take me about three times and it was spotless

    My '37 A had a tar ball blocking the drain the first time I changed the oil. Scared the crap out of me when no oil came out. The tractor had been idling for half an hour while it was being trailered home from the seller's place. Did the screwdriver trick and a diesel fuel flush. Turned out fine. Nice G!

      Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with this luck. It is scary for sure when you pull that plug and nothing comes out!! haha. Glad yours has been good. I'm going to have an upcoming video on this G hopefully fully restoring the oil pressure. I'm hoping it's just caked around the oil pump and restricting it.

    It's a bit spendy to do but. Overfill it with automatic transmission fluid and let it run at high idle for an hour or two. The stuff is a super cleaner with excellent lubricating properties and will break that sludge up and hold it in suspension long enough to do a fluid dump.
    If you are cheap, stop by a transmission shop and get a few buckets of old fluid and run it through an old Tee shirt to take the chunks out and use that to do several flushes With a good story the odds are they will let you have the old fluid for free.

  • @DanielFarmChannel
    @DanielFarmChannel Před 3 lety +5

    Yea, that stinks. That screen around the oil pump is probably covered in gunk. That could certainly be affecting the oil pressure. It may also need adjusted. It's a good idea to drop the oil pump. As for the crankcase cover, if you can just get that off and not have to take all of the other stuff that would certainly make it easier. There is just one line going into the oil pump housing that you have to undo. It isn't like the B's that have multiple lines and it's a nightmare. When you go to put it back together, make sure the oil pump drive shaft lines up in the coupler as you know. I almost had a tragic mistake the other day when I noticed mine wasn't engaged when I drew it up in and fastened it down. Keep up the good work.

    You can get a calibrated gauge and check to see what the oil pressure actually is reading, you might have a bad gauge. There is a way to adjust the tractor's oil pressure on the side of the crank case although I have found that it usually makes little difference. Normal oil pressure is only 10-12 psi.

    Your assumption about the strainer around the oil pump is valid to remove that next time.

      Dying to get it done, doesnt help when its 50 miles from electricity. Horse traded my grandfather (who it came from) a bunch of work on the 46 D2 for the wide front off the styled A that had the farm hand. My goal is to just have it kickin around the place with a small front loader for pulling and moving engines and maybe a little gardening. I have a fairly decent assortment of antique yard art, but some of it could go again, the two sicle bars and the spud digger work. We have a 37 A at the ranch that still chooches too.
      Plan was to fix the pinion clutch in the D2 and take it down to our old homestead place (that hasnt ranched since the early 70s) and drag the A and the B up to the house and try to figure out a way to get them to the top of the hill to put on a trailer, or fix the low road that washed out. After about the 5th time of pulling the pony we succeded in mostly - partly fixing the pinion and ran out of summer time. Fast forward a couple years, grandfather is 79 in two days and slowing down and i live on the other side of the state. Need to make some time for it though, for multiple reasons. I appreciate the video, was a boon to my motivation.

  • @mikevaske8255
    @mikevaske8255 Před rokem +1

    I don't think the rear wheels are the ones that the tractor came out with, all the later A, B, G's had cast iron wheels that the steel rims attached to. I have seen many that have the wheels an what I call backwards, with the lugs and nuts on the inside, doubles the time and effort to change the tires. I've changed tires many times, starting with helping my dad when I was 4 or 5 years. He bought the G in 1956.

    • @TractorHoarders
      @TractorHoarders  Před rokem +1

      You're right. A previous owner of this tractor must have swapped them out. The pressed steel wheels that I have are usually desirable by people into tractor pulling because it allows them to cut weight to get into lower classes. I personally wouldn't mind swapping these out back to the original cast center wheels.

      Hi Noah, I can not claim to be an expert on this subject and I know many people have a wide variety of opinions on oil and filters. To my knowledge, NAPA filters are manufactured by WIX. Whether or not they are better or worse than John Deere (not sure who makes those... maybe Baldwin?), I do not know. It'd be interesting to find a side by side comparison where they are cut apart. Thanks for the comment! Maybe I'll get a few filters and do that comparison in a future video.

      @Tractor Hoarders Who knows the last time it was flushed. Read an old operator's manual. After draining the oil, you filled the crankcase with kerosene and ran it for a few minutes then drained it and changed the filter and added oil. NON DETERGENT OIL. Don't let it bother you. Use 30wt detergent oil, clean the vent filter. You can remove the crankcase cover and see how much play the rods have. You also might be able to just replace the crank babbits. Get a good shop manual and have fun. I bought a 47 A once that had sat for 17 years. Fresh gas, cleaned the points, made sure nothing under the valve cover was stuck. Fired it up and drove it on the trailer.
