Great job as usual Warren!!! Keep up the great work with the videos. I don't know how you find time to edit your videos. You must sleep very little. Your a hardworking individual and deserve to take Sundays off. Have a great night!!!
thanks for the video i just completed the same job i don't know if i would have even started without watching this i was even surprised my local dealer had the parts in 3 days
to a tractor user, spinning this shaft must make a person cry ! Warren said " Labour intensive " YAAAA and hard on the pocket book when it happens ! good videos on this change out
Pretty cool that you fix these old Fords!! If you were not around chances are they would sit broken and rust until they were scrap!! How on earth would even an expert "Shade Tree" guy get the cab off without the lift? So in a way you are a preserver of cool old equipment!!! I have watched you so much it is like I know you. Pretty cool!!! Keep it up!!!
As a retired truck engineer, I would love to spend a couple of days helping you out in the shop. I hope your family appreciate just how hard you work and how lucky they are!
Great video as usual, like I've said here in southeast North Dakota lots of farmers & contractors would love a man of your talents here. But your in way nicer climate especially in the winter months. Besides you'd be real busy Sept through December especially sugar beet guys with equipment & trucks wreaking crap. More combine & self propelled sprayer work around here also. F the haters that think they need to give u a thumbs down. Keep up the informative & entertaining videos.
Corey Brown Now why would anyone give this guy a thumbs down or do you just need an imaginary enemy. A lot of Warrens fans including me offer him health tips regarding gloves, chemicals, asbestos and taking a day off here and there. Don't know if he does any of it but it is all given in a friendly manner. He beats himself to death.
you must also spend a lot of time checking service manuals, ordering and chasing parts as well as fitting them....your channel is pure gold........many thanks to you and yours.....
Just think how differently these things would be designed / built if the engineers were required to assemble / dissemble at least one themselves. I always enjoy Your videos.
Why don't you enlighten all of us as to how they'd be designed differently. You think there's an infinite number of ways things can be assembled? Would this be like designing a 5,000 seat theater with all the seating in the front row?
Dude you are amazing.You must put in 20 miles a day just walking from one side of a machine to the other.Your knowledge I know comes from years of experience.You would put a 20 year old to shame with your energy.Thanks for your amazing videos,and to hell with your brain dead haters.
lester johnson I read most of the comments Warren gets. I have not read a HATER comment ever. Why would someone hate Warren?? Cause he works his ass off? Or because he doesn't have a Harvard degree?? Maybe you need make believe enemy's, you should check this out.
lester johnson I feel bad that Warren imagines he has haters. Maybe we should stop offering him tips about wearing gloves and such and convince him the haters he thinks he has are imaginary. If Warren could put these thoughts aside he would not only be an ace mechanic but a much happier guy. I'm 78 years old and feel I can offer useful advise. I sure hope he listens to those of us who feel he is worthy of our praise.
I have a Ford 3000 diesel tractor that needs to have the cylinders bored so I need to pull the engine and completely disassemble it so it can go to the machine shop. This will be my first tractor split and it is really making me think. I don’t have a concrete floor just gravel but I do have a 2 ton chain hoist hanging from an overhead H beam, plenty of cribbing and a hydraulic 5 ton jack. You have inspired me to stop worrying about it and just do it. Thanks Warren!
Is the gravel floor level? Because you have to roll one half away from the other to split it the floor wants to be as smooth as possible. Ideally some large pieces of 3 quarter (or thicker) plywood under the tractor and its wheels makes life easier to roll them apart and get it back together. Failing that a set of splitting railway tracks and screw jacks on level timber on top of a heavy tarp helps particularly when you drop something in the gravel! Also good lighting, a selection of various sizes of wedges for the tyres and the front axle pivot point, plenty of containers for fluids (fuel, coolant, engine and hydraulic oil). Adequate bench space and storage for bits and pieces as they are taken off as they will be off for some time while the block is being bored. Lots of clean rag. Before you start get the whole thing as clean and dry as possible by good pressure washing. A digital camera and take lots of pictures each time as you remove stuff as a reminder for later putting it back together. Label all wiring cables and attachments and any random parts which you have to completely remove. Highly useful also is some sort of washing station to clean parts up once removed. I hope that you have access to a decent workshop manual with lots of exploded diagrams, explanations and settings for torque etc. Lastly a big enough budget to pay for all the things that you have yet to discover need replacement / repair! Do you have access to an experienced mentor if you get into a muddle / mess?
Dan Whiteford Very good advice! The plywood sounds like a very good idea! I do have the three Ford manuals for this tractor so I am good their. At this time the head is off and the pistons are out. #1 cylinder is looking very unhappy with lots of wear and is driving this whole operation. The camera is an excellent suggestion and I will be taking lots of pictures. :) I am all alone out here with no mentor to guide me other than Warren and watching how he goes about his business. I am thinking there might be additional issues discovered as this project progresses but I think I can deal with it. If the block is cracked I am screwed and the tractor will become a lawn ornament. The issue is compression,#1, is so bad the tractor is missing and blowing raw fuel out of the exhaust called wet stacking. I called my local Ford New Holland dealer and at a starting price of 5k I decided I will do this myself. The tractor was built in 1967 so it is old and well into it’s senior years. I have already put a ton of money in it and throwing more at a very old tractor doesn’t make much sense. I have a John Deere 318D skid steer that takes care of most things like snow removal and I can buy a new brush hog for the John Deere for what the shop starting price is to fix the Ford. I have lots of time, tools and a bit of common sense and I enjoy working on machines more than anything else mostly so there is that.
So far the clutch has been replaced, the Simms injector pump and injectors have been replaced as well as the PTO rear seal, man that was fun! The big end and wrist pin bearings look pretty good but the wrist pins and big end bearings will be replaced with the new pistons. Nothing looks wonky inside other than the #1 cylinder bore. I timed the injector pump, it was off by two degrees from the dealer when they installed the new pump with no help there. The head was rebuilt last summer at the local engine machine shop, new valves, springs and valve guides installed. One interesting aspect is who ever owned this tractor before me lost the original dip stick for engine oil and just stuck in one that fit. Unfortunately it was too long and this tractor has been running on half of the oil that should have been in there. After going in the dealers shop twice nobody caught this little detail until I did my own oil change. The manual says 8 quarts/two gallons of engine oil and came up way past the fill mark on the dip stick that came with the tractor. I bought a new replacement dip stick and low and behold the two gallons came right up to full on the new much shorter dip stick. What the shop did was fill the crank case from bulk oil to the full level on the old incorrect dip stick, awesome!
Been hard at it! Got the front end off today and will be pulling the engine tomorrow. I hope to have it in the machine shop by Friday if the new pistons show up by then. Watching Warren has given me the incentive to tackle this myself and so far so good. I am really hoping the #1 cylinder will clean up for the .040 over pistons, got my fingers crossed.
Great video Warren, know the feeling every time when someone is cutting hay it's starts to rain especially one guy who we fear everytime he cuts his, it usually rains for a month!!
Looks to me like you have learned your trade well. You've got some impressive tools to aid you with that job. I spent the first several decades of my life as an automobile mechanic and man alive you sure work on bigger stuff than I did. I sure hope you are getting paid well for your experience. Love your videos.
Really amazing to see all of the different parts and pieces that go into these tractors to make them do what they do. Designing these must be an adventure in and of itself. Even more impressive is that you know how to take one apart and put it back together if you only work on that model once every 6 years. Great video content.
We used to take big electric motor shafts that had ruined an end and cut the end off - and we would stub the shaft - which means we would machine a new end with a stub end on it and bore the shaft for a tight press fit - then heat the shaft and press the stub into the shaft ... we had some real good machinests that were in house... so that kind of repair would depend on the cost of the shaft versus the cost of the machine work... but something to remember - especially when the shaft is obsolete... nice video... I used to have to pull big gear boxes and turbochargers that weighed several thousand pounds - instead of using all straps I would put a couple of comealongs or chain falls on the heavy end so you could control the angle that the gear box comes off and goes on - as you know when you take the strain off everything it comes right apart - and goes together easy too.... be safe and dont let any of that crap fall on you...
I love watching your videos like I have said so many times before probably the best heavy equipment mechanic I know !! Wish you was here in England .. nice job Warren
Dude you are a beast!! I haven’t seen anything you can’t fix no matter what it is. My dad and uncles were bad ass w older machines, but sadly them old boys been laid to rest Wish I still had em around to ask questions to 🙁 I preciate your work and you making these videos for real. I don’t comment much, but I watch a lot at night. Or start watching. I’m usually calling the hogs after 15 mins 😴. Thank you bro
A dozen years ago we had 3 sno-cats that had a similar dry spline problem (a stub shaft splined into a flexplate that drove a splitter which in turn drove 3 hydrostatic pumps). It was an annual job to pull the engine and replace the shaft & flexplate). We modified 1 of the cats so that we could grease the spline through a hole in the bell-housing. Didn't do any good! Splines still wore out in a season - maybe not quite as bad as the other 2 but bad enough to need replacement.
Always enjoy your videos Warren, wish you were in Tennessee!! Got an 8600 ford that 2 different dealers went thru the pto and it didn't last 20 hours....
As John Wayne said in one of his movies we all feel the need to"let the badger loose" now and then.......As young people we all did it to some extent me included. Still after watching you tear into all kinds of stuff I am amazed you can remember where all that stuff goes when you put it back together. It is a little extra work but if I am working on something in the yard I have a small portable tent I use. Sure helps with the heat.
Especially because sometimes it's weeks or months before before he puts back together.ya know waiting for parts or owners to make decisions ext.and also 10other projects at same time.warren is master of his craft hands down best on CZcams if not country...
Got 1 of those Dodge cars in the local shop now. Asked the mechanic if the trans got messed up. He said "No , a kid burned up the clutch. The car's barely got 6000 miles on it !" Ha , a lesson is being taught - Is the lesson being learned ??. We'll see how fast that car comes back to the shop.
If your not feeling well, don't be stupid, get checked out, your family depends on it Warren! Been there done that! Its hot out, you need lots of water. Might just be dehydration, drink plenty of water, youll feel better. If your feeling a little dizzy or upset stomach.
I love you videos. And always look forward to your next ones. I enjoy hearing your views on the world. I gotta say I do agree with 99% of your rants. Keep up the good work.
Oh my good another awsome Video warren thank you for making them i love them you are one hell of an awsome mechanic i try to become like you one day 👍😀🔧have a nice day stay safe man
Hi just watching your video i use a exhaust valve bent 90degrees put the stem in a bell housing bolt and the valve seat in the starter ring gear let it rest there and you can undo or tighten easily been a agricultural enginer for 30 years still got the original valve hope this helps Justin
Yeah you'll get that off get to new partner you'll enjoy it and get everything going for that tractor and get it all back together my brother and get it going down the road again have a good day God bless you
Re welding the shaft and coupling I often wondered what guys meant when they said they don it the Weld it together and then bolt the shaft and coupling to the flywheel slide the clutch on build all that up slide on the gearbox and then build up the other end of the shaft and slide the back end back on. I have never done it myself but I asked a man who has done lots of them. He told me its very common on all fords for this to happen
You have to be carefull welding things up solid - there is only about .010 crankshaft end play... if the solid shaft is of any length and heats up it will grow enough that it will cause the crank to ruin the the thrust bearing - and that will cause the crankshaft to fail - or ruin the gear train... everything that connects to the crank must float somehow... I have seen some very big engines failed by accidently thrusting an engine.
Saludos muy buen contenido de su video. Aquí en Venezuela en esos casos , por la crisis que hay , no podemos realizar una reparación como la que usted realizó, en algunos casos hacemos un hexágono en el eje y en el cuplon insertamos un dado hexagonal de la medida que se le dé al eje (15/16") . Eso para poder trabajar un poco más de tiempo , mientras se consiguen los $$$$
Why dont you put a pressure washer and water tank on your truck and if you remenber to fill it with water, you can power wash all you jobs before you start, makes for for a better day as i too used to work on the similar machines covered in crap and when i started washing everything before it was allowed in the shop, my life got much easier Keep up the great work with the videos.
A simple fix is to grind a 1/2 inch square on the shaft, machine out the splines and weld a 1/2 inch drive socket into the drive hub. that bolts to the flywheel.
Since you've made the same repair on that tractor a couple of times I was wondering what would be causing the issue? Is it a craftsmanship problem when they make the shaft/drive plate, how the tractor is operated, or any other theory?
when splines wear out like that it is from shaft misalignment that particular shaft goes through like 4 machined bolt together flanges with gaskets on them, so it'll never line up perfectly, just too many tolerances stacked up
The sling you used to remove the second part looks to be well past it's use by date. Perhaps you could treat yourself to a new one BEFORE it lets go. Heavy work on your own on a hot day outside. All the best.
I do not know if you read many comments or if you read comments from old video.. But it looked like to me that fly wheel had stress fractures in it.. Is that not a big concern with these diesels?
Every time I watch you work on equipment I don’t regret giving it up to just be regular truck driver Don’t get me wrong I liked fixing things but I didn’t miss being dirty Is this normal ware and tare on this machine
Just a guess. I've seen splines eat themselves away when running dry. What about greasing them before assembly, it just might mean you not seeing them again.
How old are all those filters on that tractors? I always wonder about mechanics-whether or not they recommend to do extra work on other stuff or is that not polite?
It's usually just a per hour job How ever long it takes from taking the first bolt off till it's driving again Why the owner took the loader and side panels and washed it Not just beng nice but saving himself some money
Maybe I don't see everything you have there, but maybe you should put some wood blocks under the front end. That thing slip off the metal jack's you would be crushed.
Just curious, aside from the big groove worn into the flywheel, I saw lots of cracks. On smaller vehicles, I'd have replaced it just based on that. If there were enough meat on the flywheel to cut it, would the cracks not have mattered for something this large / slow moving?
Does that tractor hold sentimental value to the farmer. That or your not charging enough. Would it not be cheaper to buy a newer used tractor (Big picture). It’s amazing you can still find parts
True - so to bring things into perspective 5 to 6000 hours is equal to 300,000 to 350,000 miles in a truck - the PTO shaft is turning at max rated speed most of the time so just figure 60 miles per hour to arrive at an equivalent mileage...
Great job as usual Warren!!! Keep up the great work with the videos.
I don't know how you find time to edit your videos. You must sleep very little. Your a hardworking individual and deserve to take Sundays off.

You ever replay your videos to remember how things go back together?
Looking for the nut on 25.00 I;m saying its behind you lol, another great job Warren
3 videos in 3 days!!!.... Love ya work mate much love from Australia...still repping the wttr shirt 👌👌

A dozen years ago we had 3 sno-cats that had a similar dry spline problem (a stub shaft splined into a flexplate that drove a splitter which in turn drove 3 hydrostatic pumps). It was an annual job to pull the engine and replace the shaft & flexplate).
We modified 1 of the cats so that we could grease the spline through a hole in the bell-housing. Didn't do any good! Splines still wore out in a season - maybe not quite as bad as the other 2 but bad enough to need replacement.
Always enjoy your videos Warren, wish you were in Tennessee!! Got an 8600 ford that 2 different dealers went thru the pto and it didn't last 20 hours....
Warren your the John Wayne of truck and tractor repairs. Knocking the bad ones dead with class and style. Lovin it brother, keep up the good work
Just wondering if you use a fold up canopy when you are in the field working to get out of the sun. Another great video thank you.
Great idea
Yeah, except when its so windy there... might need to auger in the corners!

Yes that is correct you can weld them shaft it works very well.
Look's Like Hell Of A Lot Of Work Involved...
Dam Warren. Someone washed the tractor while you weren’t looking lol. It’s always nicer working on clean stuff. Enjoy your videos.
It can be harsh to be in the hot sun all day, I now everything about it. But on the upside the videos are super clear with that sunlight.
Those words “I cant remember” it gets worse with time , haha to the point that every job is like the first time. Keep going brother
Nice work and passion
Got 1 of those Dodge cars in the local shop now. Asked the mechanic if the trans got messed up. He said "No , a kid burned up the clutch. The car's barely got 6000 miles on it !" Ha , a lesson is being taught - Is the lesson being learned ??. We'll see how fast that car comes back to the shop.

Enjoy your work, may I ask the labor costs on a job similar to this ballpark
Hardness issues with those shafts. The plate should wear first. Tough job. 👍
You ROCK 🤘🏼WORN🤣just messing round WARREN AWSOME Video 🇺🇸‼️
good vid warren
Hi just watching your video i use a exhaust valve bent 90degrees put the stem in a bell housing bolt and the valve seat in the starter ring gear let it rest there and you can undo or tighten easily been a agricultural enginer for 30 years still got the original valve hope this helps Justin
Yeah you'll get that off get to new partner you'll enjoy it and get everything going for that tractor and get it all back together my brother and get it going down the road again have a good day God bless you
Was wating and could see that the pressure switch at 6:14 was connected think it got yanked off as you worked. Love the videos
How about a pop up shelter like the WRC teams have between the rally stages
Re welding the shaft and coupling
I often wondered what guys meant when they said they don it the Weld it together and then bolt the shaft and coupling to the flywheel slide the clutch on build all that up slide on the gearbox and then build up the other end of the shaft and slide the back end back on. I have never done it myself but I asked a man who has done lots of them. He told me its very common on all fords for this to happen
On ours we ground the shaft flat on 2 sides and welded 2 flats in the hub, makes it a pain to stab but beats splitting the tractor in 2 places.
You have to be carefull welding things up solid - there is only about .010 crankshaft end play... if the solid shaft is of any length and heats up it will grow enough that it will cause the crank to ruin the the thrust bearing - and that will cause the crankshaft to fail - or ruin the gear train... everything that connects to the crank must float somehow... I have seen some very big engines failed by accidently thrusting an engine.
I keep cutting hay ,trying to get it to rain
You would think that maybe someone could make a harder input shaft for that pig since it eats up the factory ones so regularly.
Saludos muy buen contenido de su video. Aquí en Venezuela en esos casos , por la crisis que hay , no podemos realizar una reparación como la que usted realizó, en algunos casos hacemos un hexágono en el eje y en el cuplon insertamos un dado hexagonal de la medida que se le dé al eje (15/16") . Eso para poder trabajar un poco más de tiempo , mientras se consiguen los $$$$
Why dont you put a pressure washer and water tank on your truck and if you remenber to fill it with water, you can power wash
all you jobs before you start, makes for for a better day as i too used to work on the similar machines covered in crap and when i started
washing everything before it was allowed in the shop, my life got much easier
Keep up the great work with the videos.
Good ol' Klamath, if you dont like the weather, wait 15 minutes.
I can't explain why this video made me feel I had to go to the bathroom...
My nuts hurt just watching the Boss do all the work!
A simple fix is to grind a 1/2 inch square on the shaft, machine out the splines and weld a 1/2 inch drive socket into the drive hub. that bolts to the flywheel.
1/2 in would be too small but yes it is possible to do that we did it to ours no problems so far.
@@txdm9383 yes you are right, 3/4 inch be more suitable,
It's a Ferd, so you know its good!
Since you've made the same repair on that tractor a couple of times I was wondering what would be causing the issue? Is it a craftsmanship problem when they make the shaft/drive plate, how the tractor is operated, or any other theory?
Design
Its a Ford issue 🥺
when splines wear out like that it is from shaft misalignment
that particular shaft goes through like 4 machined bolt together flanges with gaskets on them, so it'll never line up perfectly, just too many tolerances stacked up
" Wishes he had a chevy " HaHaHaHa, oh DG your hilarious. Todd the retired trucker.
The sling you used to remove the second part looks to be well past it's use by date. Perhaps you could treat yourself to a new one BEFORE it lets go.
Heavy work on your own on a hot day outside. All the best.
Good job
Use to skim or replace flywheel as thay heated and scored on plough tractors
Thrust bearing well faulty mush have done lot hours
Did you see that crimped black hose under the two silver pipes on top side?JR
I do not know if you read many comments or if you read comments from old video.. But it looked like to me that fly wheel had stress fractures in it.. Is that not a big concern with these diesels?
It got a new flywheel
Thank you, Warren.
See the "heat foot print" on both ends of the shaft and the stress the shaft has experienced.
Who else went to grab that flywheel when I dropped . Be safe Warren
he might not look big like farmers do but hes strong lean and mean
Every time I watch you work on equipment
I don’t regret giving it up to just be regular truck driver
Don’t get me wrong I liked fixing things but I didn’t miss being dirty
Is this normal ware and tare on this machine
Doesn't seem to matter where you are it seems to be an unwritten law that if folks cut hay, it almost inevitably rains.
Thinking about getting a pair of those Knipex for plumbing work...since those have flat jaws. Do you like them?
wow looks almost new.
I wonder if there isn't a better steel for that shaft and drive plate so they don't strip as often
May GOD Bless You All Amen MGBYAAA 😎
Very nice video, thank you.
20:19 Getting Perdy Close To Them RIvets Thar MMHMM
Just a guess. I've seen splines eat themselves away when running dry. What about greasing them before assembly, it just might mean you not seeing them again.
Looks like fun!
How old are all those filters on that tractors? I always wonder about mechanics-whether or not they recommend to do extra work on other stuff or is that not polite?
Looks like you found the problem Warren!
Why is the PTO failing ??
Is it right much of a pain to find parts for these tractors or does the aftermarket take good care of keeping you in parts for older rigs like this?
Love tv show
how do you even work out what the labour cost of just the splitting side and re assembly of all the connections prior to starting the job?
It's usually just a per hour job
How ever long it takes from taking the first bolt off till it's driving again
Why the owner took the loader and side panels and washed it
Not just beng nice but saving himself some money
Warren how dare you work on a clean tractor. haha
Maybe I don't see everything you have there, but maybe you should put some wood blocks under the front end. That thing slip off the metal jack's you would be crushed.
Gm Sir, just wondering if the male and female splines are hardened , or could they be to extend life ?
Yes...I had that done.
Carborizing Nitrate and induction hardening
Otherwise will fail again. These splines run dry.
Just curious, aside from the big groove worn into the flywheel, I saw lots of cracks. On smaller vehicles, I'd have replaced it just based on that. If there were enough meat on the flywheel to cut it, would the cracks not have mattered for something this large / slow moving?
i see you put bolts back in hole . i like to do that too or either bag them. or magnetic tray. though what i work on is not as big.
Does that tractor hold sentimental value to the farmer. That or your not charging enough. Would it not be cheaper to buy a newer used tractor (Big picture). It’s amazing you can still find parts
I wonder what a tractor would look like if Warren designed one with ease of future maintenance in mind?
Warren...what is going on that is causing this shaft/coupler to strip out repeatedly, design flaw or overloading the pto?
It happens every 5-6000 hours. It's a dry coupler, it's just a matter of time.
True - so to bring things into perspective 5 to 6000 hours is equal to 300,000 to 350,000 miles in a truck - the PTO shaft is turning at max rated speed most of the time so just figure 60 miles per hour to arrive at an equivalent mileage...
Please buy some new hook straps.
Great job young feller....
What is the usual daytime temp where you are at in the summer?
I sure hope that there will be a pt3 and 4. Please?
The right rear tire is low on the SUV next to you.
Did he say how long it lasts between shaft replacements?That would be interesting to know
We had some guys when it was hot, strip down, work in there shorts, then wash them selves at the end of the day by poring gas all over themselves.
Bede Meredith as a apprentice car mechanic I often used gasoline to wash my hands and arms. Stupid, now that I think back.
