Hey guys and how's it going hey we're going to continue on this homemade tractor that i dragged out from underneath a house about a week or so ago got a couple videos on it already. The first one was basically just getting it out from under there getting it to here and getting into what it needed on the engine tried to get the engine to run. It had no spark found out it had a bad coil took care of the coil issue. On the last video and actually went through the carburetor and it's running decent, so we're gon na go continue on from there.

So we got ta get the oil out of the engine. We got ta look into the transmission. The rear brakes are locked up. All that kind of stuff again it sat for who knows 15 years or so, and it was covered under a tarp and unfortunately, they do more damage than good.

In my opinion, they kind of hold moisture underneath it. So it's been pressure washed. A bunch of junk has been cleaned out, the mouse nest has been removed, but does still need more work and we're going to go continue on with that. I think what we should do, probably before we get into the tractor, is deal with the gas tank.

That is pretty nasty on the inside, so maybe we'll get into that. We'll have that do its process for getting cleaned. While we work on other stuff, let's get set up, get into it yeah. Fortunately, the fuel was shut off to the car, so the carburetor wasn't that bad.

But i gave a quick look inside here and i don't think the gas tank has survived as well as the rest of it. Oh yeah, oh, i bet you could actually smell it. There's some future now we're getting chunks that was just mud coming out of it. I don't think there's anything in there.

That's supposed to be rattling, and it's literally just oh, i'm surprised you didn't leak. That is a lot of rust coming out of it. I guess worst case we have to we're going to replace it, but we'll see if it'll it'll survive wow all right so much of it it's making a mound coming up out of the fuel, so i'm gon na go work on shaking that out a little bit. We'll get a light down the side.

There see we got wow, it stinks we're going in. I can see metal on the bottom of the tank right down there. Here's where all the crap is like inches thick, maybe we'll try just putting some hardware in there. Maybe some water and we'll tie it to something and let her kind of turn around like a washing machine a little bit.

I wonder if we could plug that fuel system up or should we just leave it if it's just um, since, what's on the inside, we're gon na break anything off? Where was that it was right there straight down somewhere down in there. It's supposed to be an inlet for the fuel. I think it's right there. Yes, let's go! Do that.

Let's go get ourselves set up with something and we'll let it turn around and see if it holds fluid, i'm i'm afraid it's going to blow out somewhere. That was a lot of rust that came out of there and it came from somewhere right. So it's stepped anywhere it's gon na blow out. I don't wan na, invest too much time in it, but we'll see all right well, it looks like a good sized hardware to let go chug around.

You want something with sharp edges. Let's go with these grab a bunch of those and throw them in there. Do you think we should throw a couple of little ones in there too, just to kind of like get the little nudges and corners both these little square droppers, it's like baking with musty one follow me for more cooking recipes. I should do it get the cap back on it, some plastic around it that should stop it from leaking.

It's got about a half full of water, okay and that's too fast. I don't think that's going to do much. All the hardware is just stuck to one side, we'll just fine tune that speed a little bit. That sounds pretty good hey.

Should we jump on brakes? Let's get this jackal it's in the ballpark. I bet one of them freed up, maybe not. I thought we saw this one rolling a little bit: whoops they're, both locked up all right, get those wheels off and see if we can find a brake adjuster, hopefully back the brakes off a little bit and get the drums to come off. I think somebody said these were oldsmobile hubcaps, it's a funky setup.

Huh go grab it here. We go two different sizes. Hmm, so i think those might be adjusters right there. That's one! Yes, one on each side.

Maybe we can go play with those. I don't know what this is: oh emergency, brake, cable, that's what that would have been, and i don't know if there's a break right, there looks like there is huh that drum should be able to come right off of there. It's got some wrench on them see if we get any movement out of them problem is, i don't know what's which way is tighter, which one's looser you know so we're just gon na go and turn see what happens if that doesn't work, we'll go the other Way there we go rust falling out of it that do anything for us they are whatever they are full direction. They say we start whaling on that with a hammer a little bit.

Well, i popped it in gear and started turning the pulley in the front, see anything in the back to go, and i see the tire on the other side at least moving where this one's not having it at all. I think maybe we'll jump over to the other side. We can get that drum off i'll, get an education on what's inside there. What we need to you know, which way we need to rotate stuff to get it to move.

I jumped over the other side and i took a wire wheel and i'm not quite sure if these are two separate pieces or not it's still hard to tell i can kind of get my nail down in there. I thought it was gon na the drum was gon na break loose from here, but i have a feeling that maybe this is all one piece so i took the nut off, gave it a couple of wax courses not going anywhere. So i have a feeling: we're gon na have to come up with some kind of puller, come either behind here or grab the studs and push on the center to get her to pop off of there. So it's to uh the cabinets you can come up with.

I grabbed that that's not going to work but something's going to work it's coming off, just doesn't know it. Yet i'm going to give this puller about a 0 success rate, see i'm setting my standards very high. I think it's just going to pop off on us. Oh something's happening, hopefully the shoes don't tuck on us and lock up.

I definitely expected it to put up more of a fight than that. I shouldn't uh speak too soon, right nice, hopefully the other side just locked up to be able to do this, we'll just go yeah. I think that hubs two different pieces, but it's hard to say, got those big bearings huh. It has.

It definitely has a ton of rust in it. So the question is, i think it answers that question right. There yeah, i have those who think those wheel. Cylinders are definitely going to need some love.

I don't know he had some new ones, new, all the old ones, maybe that he took off. Possibly we can use these. The other thing, i'm afraid of now too, the master cylinders are probably going to be the same way. I don't know maybe between the two of them we can put them together.

Yeah, they might be available, looks like there's a part number on the bag. Good, let me go see if you get the other side to go, do the same thing. Hopefully so something's moving yeah they've taken great shoes with it. You can give wonder why i wouldn't turn yeah a little moisture on that.

That might be an issue. I wonder why that one wouldn't turn huh. Hopefully we can get some kind of breaks on the cheap, yeah they're. Definitely a pretty tough shape that one's free to fall off too.

That's the issue. I mean we can sandblast and glue those back on, make them functional again. I think the biggest thing is going to be wheel, cylinders what we can do with those and what we have for our master cylinder masters. I think we can probably just we worst case.

We get away with some kind of like generic one. Oh kind of depends. What they come up for for price if they're, cheap, we'll just go with cheap uh, i have a feeling. Sometimes you start getting into this age of stuff.

You know components are hundreds of dollars, not like 20 of dollars, which i'm more in the ballpark for i'm gon na go pop these shoes off we'll get them out of the way we'll get the wheel, cylinders off, get to the bench and we'll kind of try To pop out the centers up and see, if there's any chance in trying to save what's inside there, so that's been going about 45 minutes well about 10 or 15 minutes ago. I reset the odometer to begin with. We got 1.6 miles on it. I don't see a bunch of water leaking out around the wheels i'm gon na go.

Take that off we'll take a look and see what we got all right. Let's go dig in well, we'll only bet that's going to be some rusty water, oh yeah. The next day after mexican food, i'm gon na go take a few minutes. We're gon na shake that hardware out of there, maybe rinse it with a little bit of water and we'll get take a peek in there and see what we got.

Let's go. Take a peek not perfect, but compared to what it was actually quite think it's usable i might do, is let it let it dry out. I could probably try some muriatic acid and then i'll eat the last little bit out of there. It's not that bad compared to the inch of rusty sludgy that was in it even clean my nuts.

Actually, we got the used ones that were in the back when we uh these might be even our better option. Those other ones really punched out a bunch of rust. It turned at least so. This should have like a the best way to grab it.

If we can get the boot out of there there we go. Let's turn, i don't think, that's the cylinder, though i think the outer part is the cylinder. Let's go dust that out get the crap out of there yeah. That's the lip right there.

It should. You know normally on a regular wheel, cylinder. The bore is equal on both sides and you can push it out. This one looks like it's got a weird taper to it.

We can try. Doing is let's see if this one turns, let's try shooting some air, so you could launch one one of them out. Yeah, i wasn't thinking so uh and we wouldn't do. You would think that we could press the smaller one this direction.

Everything would fall out that side and they're already junk right. You can't de-junk them anymore. I'm gon na take a wire wheel. We're going to clean up some of the rust that's on the edge there, just so we're not pushing over that.

We'll give a little a little pressure on that see if she decides to play with play. Well, i'm always shoving in the press. Let's just for shits and giggles see actually that might be a little too big. Let's see what happens yeah it's moving, i'm not the other side's moving.

That's the thing! You know oops, sorry about that hit you in the head, yeah. So there's a a spring in a cup that's inside here, uh, two cups with a spring in the middle of it. That's all that's happening is we're moving that one down right now now you're not really going to be able to go the other way. So i guess we just go for broke moving nope, it's going somewhere yeah.

I don't think we're going to get moving out of that drove the sucker. Far though huh it's weird, it's got that step on it. I don't know if that you could probably measure. Actually, the width across that that's the same.

Does that look the same as that, it's hard to say, yep, see we keep going through a little bit of lube down in there. I'm just gon na help us that's, not a good sign crack the housing on the top side. It finally came out. Oh boy, are they a mess yeah about as good as a gas tank? Unfortunately, there's not even anything left of the the bushing, the bushing, the um, the seal.

It's just all gum here's. What kind of what it's supposed to look like, yeah they're done! There's, there's no way. That's gon na be able to be used, they're, two different sizes. Let's look through the center of it now there's a lip there, two different sizes yeah.

It would have had to go that way. Hence the arrow yeah. Hmm guess i have to do a little bit of shopping. Huh he's got a part number.

Well, i'm pretty confident that these are even going to be worse than the one we just looked at, so i think they're going to be junk, also uh. I think next thing we need to assess as far as what we have is, maybe that master cylinder again. I'm gon na have to do some shopping and see what is available, but so we kind of jump into this. Yes, if you i'll pop you in the steering wheel, go pop that cap off see if there's actually any fluid in it whatsoever, we'll get the lines off.

Probably just gon na have to go. Take it right off of there. I don't think that pedal anything's moving yeah it's frozen into the master cylinder, see the linkage is free up to to here, but nothing is moving in the master. So i think it's gon na be suffering the same fate that the rest of us did.

Hopefully i'll break the plastic yeah it's like flexing. It feels like it's gon na break. I think i saw some movement what'd, i say now. What do you want to do? I guess we just unbolt it get it right out of there, put it up on the bench and take a peek at it.

Well, at least brake fluid came off of it out of it. When i took the uh brake line side of things off, so it's got a c-clip on this side. Retaining the plunger we'll do the same thing we'll hit that with a wire wheel, get all the crap off of it, and i think we can actually probably put something like a rod down inside there and drive see if we can get the piston out of here. What the condition of this is, you know again if it's a savable or not, it looks like it's got a part number on it too.

We look it up. You know, i'm gon na go home and look these up. They're gon na be like 12 bucks, a piece yeah sure i hit it with a wire wheel, see if you get any any movement at them. Is this the right way? Of course it's not wrong way.

Also, i mean by wrong ways one pushes one pulls. I'm gon na try see if we could tap that ring to get to move at least rotate and that'll break it loose from its grip. If it'll move the screwdriver is already damaged, so we're not going to hurt it. That's one side moving sneak it right over there.

I try to get the same. Look on the other side. There you go, let's grab it with something you can just wiggle it right out of there. Yep we're in all right.

I'm gon na go all right hit that with a wire wheel again, because the path that you go through you're gon na chew up the bore, that's on there and we'll shoot some oil in there and then we'll see what we get for rod to fit down. Like a brass rod or something i don't know what's in there, i think it's probably just going to be like a square plug on the end of it with a seal going around it. I don't know if it's got a seal going around a piston or if it's just like a cap, all the way through. If the cap, all the way through the problem, is we're gon na put a rod against it and we're gon na be pushing against that rubber distort uh destroying it, but it's worth a shot see we get a piece of brass all right, it might be too Short, though, no hit something see, we get that's the spring little plunger.

So that's gon na go well. If you know the seal part of it works, it's just this part that's frozen, let's see if we can drive it in if we could drive it in. It's already flew it around there and then we can kind of clean up the edge. Maybe it'll come back out too far and then see.

If we can go clean this edge up, maybe with a honing stone, then we could drop it back through it. Like i said, that's where you're going to do more damage like, dare i say it, i'm feeling a little bit more hopeful and the bore actually doesn't look too bad either. I'm gon na work that a little bit. I wonder if we can um can get that spring to push it back.

Yeah it did it popped back up forward. We might be able to get that to go. It's free. Now we need to do is get that reservoir open.

Yet too huh. I think we're just gon na breaking off the ears. Let's see what we get, let's go that way right come on, probably broke the rest of it. I think so.

Yeah all right we're just gon na uh, give it a hail mary on that i'm gon na go grab it with the something to go grab the outside of the edge of it there. Actually, i'm gon na go hit it with a wire wheel. I don't think it's gon na do anything for it, because it's plastic, it's not like it's metal on metal, so grabbing some channel locks, but it's all these in the drawers go. Try these first! That thing was never going to come out of there.

Let's try heating and getting it gooey, no matter what we do, i think we end up destroying it. Let's go with channel locks there. It goes puking out the rust yeah she's a got a bit of crud in there, not exactly nice, clean, brake, fluid, but again the piston on the bottom is moving. I think we should drive that in i'm gon na go clean up that edge, throw some oil on there see if we can get this whole assembly out.

I got that direction. Tension on it there we go, try to cut that top edge, get some rpms out of it. I got the piston stuck down just so it's out of the way. I think we flip it over give it a tap it'll it'll pop out, get it back.

Butt up a little bit, it's supposed to be gutting up, but all right, let's go see if that'll now you do give her a little and we'll lube, so you can get it to unstick. Now there it goes. I was hoping to just come: lift right out of there mike looking getting somewhere it's going there, we go, got it. Okay, all right, there's the other plunger down below now.

I think we should be able to push that out there. We go. Look, it's okay. Did it survive that cap right there? That's just gon na make our seal for us.

I think it'll be okay, all right now we can run a home through down to the center of it. Now let me go the whole way. Go rinse that out see what it looks like yeah, let's go, how that looks looks decent like wash it out with brake clean, so it's going to be chalky. Looking i'm just looking for big pits.

Oh, it looks pretty good. Actually, i hope that lights over doing it, for you yeah, i think better, wipe it with a rag, wouldn't hurt yeah, that's fine! I don't see any pits. I don't know if we're going to be better off what is that little lag tight sticking out of there? A little little goo, gob glob, there's no metal parts. I mean there's no rubber parts that are in there.

There's that little drain hole in the bottom. The fluid is allowed to go down into i'm debating whether to maybe hit it with like a media blaster. That might be the best way like a soda blast. I think that's what i have in the sandblasting cabinet yeah.

Let's go! Do that! There's nothing in it! Now, anyway, we just make sure we rinse it real good, actually have black beauty in it, and it seems like it did the job, pretty good, that lumpiness that you're, seeing in there that coarseness, that's just the casting of it. That's not material still sitting in there. All that, on the side there that's not coming off, we've got all the contaminants out of it. I washed it real good.

We got to get that port unclogged, it's blocked right now. There we go with a little pb, a little peepee hole is cleared. Let me put it all back together, i guess before i put it together, i should explain: what's what does what as you get the the board down below? This is where the brake pedal rod is pushing on. So it pushes this whole assembly forward, just probably better off leaving it where it is that hold somebody pushes forward there is this cap is behind that first hole.

It's back about this far. It allows brake fluid to fill up this cavity right here. You push the brake pedal that seals that chamber off and now it squeezes that fluid forward and comes out the brake line in the front. As you come back, any fluid that got pushed down the system gets refilled by that little hole and you're breathing your bleeding brakes, and you know your this whole area is kind of filled with air at first and then you pump it forward.

It pushes a bunch of air out the bleeder it comes back. The chamber fills up with more fluid. You keep doing that to get rid of all the air. This side of it right here is just to pre to keep the brake fluid.

That goes in from going the other direction where the pedal is, and that's what this seal does. It just has like a low pressure area here. This is all high pressure. This is low.

Pressure is where that big hole is going into this area, and it just allows fluid to flow forward and back on this side of it and anything that leaks around it kind of gets caught in this area. It does not exit. You know past the seal and starts blowing out by where your feet would be make sense. All right, you put a little bit of brake fluid in and push it through, but there's nothing in the front resisting it right now.

It definitely should just go flubbering at the front. Actually, i should probably show you the holes on the inside. What it's doing down inside there see like bubbles come up. That's the air taking the place of the fluid it should be cushioning out in the front pretty soon the roll up before i filled up the chamber behind it.

Let's uh give it a little more. I should start coming out the front there. You go purged, that's one thing. I think that we're able to bring back for no money now we got ta still have to go deal with those those wheel.

Cylinders though yeah man get on there and through the magic of video we have will saunders a little lapse. Time has gone by uh, i ordered some on ebay. Of course they did not make it, but i was able to go grab these from a local parts. Store was able to get them to me in a couple of days, so we got those.

We got the brake shoes to kind of deal with. I was not able to score those. Fortunately, it's a tractor, i'm not really that concerned about you know this thing is not it's going to do five miles an hour, we're going to be stopping it's not like it's going to be doing 60.. We have the old brake shoes and the old material.

My thinking is, we might be able to clean that crap up and maybe sandblast the shoes themselves get some bond and we'll bond the shoes back to the metal part of them. So, let's get one of these apart, we'll probably do this. One is the one that is a part clean, some stuff up, so you can get get the wheel cylinder off. Hopefully, the brake line comes off, or else i'll be chasing some of those and we'll keep on moving, looks like these shoes are kind of captured, there's a metal going all the way around.

It's not like they're, just pivoting on a little pivot, so this plate has to come off and it's got car keys on it that one's just totally rotted off. I like these wire cutters. Let's try this one to tap them apart on cotter keys, especially when they really jammed in there. Sometimes it could be a bear, my best to straighten them out and then put the needle nose on you'll notice.

The wire cutter is on it, grab it and sometimes, if you're lucky and get it to move, because you get a good bite on it, any other pliers or anything it just slips real good, but because of the wire cutters bites into it a little bit. Sometimes you'll just cut it right off. Let's go yeah, that's that try pulling them down as long as it comes out right there we go one i'll do the same with the other one. There's those brake adjusters, those big nuts on the back side just got a cam on that rotate looks like you just rub on the back of the shoe and make a stop for it.

I think we can get rid of any emergency brake stuff. I don't think we need it if we need that arm, does it lock into him, maybe the cross, brace that goes across grabs on the other side of it all right, we'll leave it there. Let's go first, we'll hit them on the wire wheel, get some of the crap off of them and see how they look. After that worst case, we don't want to see them blaster the shoes, on the other hand, there's about a still quarter inch of rust on those get removed.

Oh, while they're drying up our nest, next task is to see if that brake, line's going to be savable, looks like it goes into an adapter. Let's see if she'll crack loose knee there, we go all right, i'm gon na say what we need to do is be able to spin a lot of times the line rust to the fitting when that one is moving good and we'll grab a 3 8 wrench And spin that off there we'll get the two nuts three nuts off the back, get the wheel cylinder off of there as you can get the lines off, so you get the bolts to crack if they break that's. Okay, just be good to use the hardware over! You know that one we go, let's go. Try that top one yep good it'd be gone.

Go for those brake shoes to dry up harden up. I got one side done, but i want to jump over to the gas tank real, quick, hey. We can't get this apart, and i think i have some muriatic acid here. I think i do and what we'll do is maybe, while we're screwing around with this, because the glue is probably going to take an hour at least an hour to dry.

We can throw some of that acid in the tank and we'll come over every once in a while slosh it around this little sediment bowl, it's glass, i don't want can't tap on it. Coming might have been on there a day or two huh. It's just that varnish from that gas. There we go.

Oh, she stinks so bad, there's a piece of screen. This might be a filter. I don't want to tear that let's dissect a little more. This is the on off valve, which is gon na, be like a carburetor jet adjustment.

I should have threads in it. Also. We revive all this stuff too worst case we just put like an inline fuel shut off. I just hit you in the stomach.

Let's get that whole thing right off of there see if we can get a cork plug it up with a cork. I think cork will hold up the acid we're going to find out, and i could probably put this in the car cleaner, maybe yeah. It's plugged solid, nothing's nothing's getting through that. It's just got a bunch of crap right inside it.

Yeah hiccups. Yes, that's plug solid too. All right. Let me go see if i can find my my acid.

Let's get a little up front and personal, so you can get a hole through that. Oh, i can't believe how much it stinks you have to cap off yeah. I do okay, i can go see about finding a little little cork or something that we can plug. That up with actually i found a little bit of plumbing it should work first better than a cork.

I feel a little bit more secure. That acid is not going to eat that there you go. I hope i don't screw this up. You got a flapper.

I used this once before you could tell by the tinge of the color, might as well dump the whole thing in it. I'll put it back when i'm done smell it not terrible, not as bad as the gas that was in it. That's for sure it doesn't really eat. Plastic doesn't do much against plastic.

It's just metal and rust. It'll etch the surface. I don't want to overflow it. Where do you think that tank is looks like more than a gallon right? It's uh yeah.

We look all right, we'll throw the cap on it, i'll just do a little bit of a splash with it. I shouldn't say that a little bit of a rotation - oh, it's got some weight to it, just let it kind of wet the surfaces and we'll let that do its thing. You don't have to shake it or nothing. Just the acid does the work it's kind of like bleaching mold, so we'll go back to the brake stuff.

That's where i put those car that the fuel shot off in the ultrasonic cleaner and they'll get to the brakes. Let's go check in on our shoes. This is the second one that was done. That's still wet it's going to take a little while it's foaming to the mouth, though all the way around.

I hope that cures with heat or air, here's the other side. They even fall off but they're not far behind. I think i can get underneath them with a putty knife, peel them off. If it decides to stay, fine, maybe they'll work a little glue under it, but i'm gon na do the same thing that i did with the other side.

While we're just kind of hanging out here. Look at the other shoes off the other side yeah. I don't think we were going to save that one huh not only snow, it's gone the shoes i kind of was was pulling on them and it doesn't want to pull away. It's bonded the rest of the way, but the edges that edge anyway is pulling apart.

So i'm going to get myself in there and clean that up as best i can i'm gon na inject glue underneath it and we'll just clamp the very end of it again. The tractor doing five miles an hour. It's not gon na fall apart. If it was a car on the road well yeah, i may do it on a car in the road too.

I don't think they're going to go anywhere, though the lights getting you right there, but these pivots right here go in the brake shoes on the bottom. They're supposed to be able to move a little bit well, the other side i was able to get off. This side seems like it definitely took the brunt of the abuse. We're gon na help her uh, hey, let's see how the soup's doing.

I think they may be good enough for now. I'm happy with that. I'm gon na go rinse them out with water, water neutralizes it. This is uh every time every video people ask.

This is berryman's, carb dip comes in one gallon cans. With that little pail. I have like three gallons inside here. It's been in there for for years, once in a while i'll pour i'll pour it all out after it settles down, and you can kind of clean the dirt out of the bottom and then just put stuff back in again.

I got it blown out and it is a screen, although it doesn't look clean, it's about as clean as it's going to get. It's got to go back down and the seal that was there's got a crack in it. I'm going to try an o-ring. Hopefully we can crush down on it, there's enough room to on the bale to crush down on it.

Should we get as long as you can get this over it? Damn it do it? Do it don't break it? It's all the way up. Pinch me a little on the way in, but that's okay, there we go the valve put back in. Oh, that's should look real, quick, just metal on metal what'd. I do with the wrench run that out some run that one in and then what's like a little bit of packing in there, so you don't want the gas to leak through here at either.

So it's packing the more you tighten down on that. I don't have the right one hold on yeah, the more you tighten on that packing the tighter. This will be to turn, so you want it, so you can still do it with your fingers and run that all the way in should be nothing coming through. Let's go that'll work yeah any more than that, be too tight.

So, let's go see if it's open i'm going to blow through here, it should come out here, not well, let's back that up more now, you know why, because i never cleaned the center of it out. Neat head meat head who's, the new guy, oh, that crap's gon na go in the bowl launch some air through it opening in the bowl. It's all dirty. It's all blacked out, i'm gon na go take that back apart, clean it one more time.

We do it right because we do it twice well, not too bad actually, but i want to go rinse that out real good with some brake clean all right. Let's try that again, let's open her up, that's better! You see it shuts off it does now. It's complete, i think, you're gon na let the brakes set up overnight. It actually does say 24 hours for a fuel full cure.

This one's probably got about maybe an hour on it now so we'll just let them do their things. In the meantime, i put the wheel: cylinders on the master cylinder is back in place. Brake lines are all hooked up. Uh wire brush the backing plates down.

So, while we're waiting, let's get the drain plug out of the train, see if anything comes out of it and also, if there's any water in it too anything anything. It's definitely tight. I got ta get a wrench if it's better on that. My fear is water because it's been sitting for so long.

Sometimes the gear that is on top all the oil runs off of it, because the gears aren't totally submerged they're, only submerged and about a third of the way, half the way up the gearbox. So the upper half of the gear never sees oil when it's been sitting and then sometimes over time, it'll run down off and it'll actually rusty the top gear. Actually it's pretty good, though it's dirty, but it's not a watery or anything gear rails, fishy. All this stuff isn't exactly clear to begin with check out the rear down almost on the very bottom there's like a, i think, it's a rubber plug.

It is right here, that's metal. I was looking for the fill and i was wondering if it kind of transfer over from the trans, through the torque, tube and kind of maintained, a level like a vw uh bus does that's uh same thing, but i didn't see down in there behind that brake Line right right, there is a plug. The only thing is there: it is getting to it and getting it out of there. It's a square shank, i'm going to try.

If i can't get that out of there, i'm not going to go pulling this whole the whole asset of the tractor off to access it. Essentially, the hardware looks like it's going to fight me a little bit and uh. We may just call that one good i'm going to give a shot, see what happens before. I try draining it out, see if you can make sure you get the fill out of there.

It shouldn't be that tight, there's no reason to be, but then again i was able to get a uh, a wobble extension. You got the funky looking end on it. You know compared to that or straight allows you to have a socket, normally swivel. Let's see how it does for us from this, that's also afraid.

Why would you do that? Oh i'm going to try a little bit more, i'm going to move you guys out of the way, but i'm not giving her a great chance of cracking loose. I tried it without that, we're in good, not that i think it's gon na burn up doing five miles an hour for the rest of his life. Oh getting the fluid in there. We have to get a little fancy with a hose.

Let's um probe it with something: it's pretty clingy, i'm gon na leave it alone. It's pretty clean. Well, i think at this point i'm going to let those brake shoes sit overnight and pretty much got as much as i want to get done. The gas tank will.

Let that soak for a while longer overnight, also that shouldn't hurt it unless you're coming tomorrow, just a big puddle on the floor ate through through the whole thing. But that's it we're going to set up for tonight and we'll pick back up in a few minutes. But for me, it'll be tomorrow yeah and it's the next afternoon, probably about i don't know 15 hours later. Unfortunately, the tank is developing some leakage behind the bracket so uh it is what it is.

We can probably seal it worst case, but i probably keep an eye out for another tank. For now we could probably just run it with a fuel level. That's a little lower. Let's get that drained out of there see what the inside looks like well, she's.

Definitely clean huh. It definitely took care of everything, except for the fact that it somewhere back where those rust stains are it ate through the wall. You know right there gon na, be our issue rinse it out with water, we're going to use it the best we can for now take that bracket off it's in there somewhere. I think it's right.

There go ahead over the wire wheel, clean some of that off right there. What do you say? We try some of that. So so it's been about 20 minutes. You can still almost kind of stick.

Your fingernail in it leaves like a little indents, but it's hardened up a decent amount. I put water in it. We're gon na see what it does. It'll, probably even help it cure.

Here's the what was left over. It's hardened up, pretty good, we'll leave it. It's filled right to the top and we'll see if it decides to leak anywhere else also go check in on our brake shoes. Now that stuff has cured up over the night, we have to grind off some of the crap on the edges.

Get all the vice grips and pliers and clamps off of all of them see how they did see if a wire wheel will knock off the pieces that are left yeah. Looking at those drums, i could say they could use a little bit of loving too huh. Some of the shoes actually stuck to it, that's better. I should do it.

A little check on the tank looks like it's doing just fine. It's hardened up pretty good i'll drain that back out and run some heat through it get the moisture out of it and i'm ready to slam those brake drums back on piece all that back together. She ain't pretty, but she'll function joke there somewhere. Now the drums sucked in and adjusted this one rubs on the backing plate right there, i'm not going to worry about it.

Let it grind her way in it's just the backing plate touching the groove on the inside. I took it off try to clean some rust out out of the groove, but it'll fix itself and see if we can make a mess pulling her up. I think about a quart, it's my guess. Oh boy, oh yeah, well we're dealing with fluids.

Let's go see if our master cylinder is going to survive. Let's give that pedal a couple of hits. It should blow bubbles at first i get a wrench on a bleeder in the back drawn it in it's going somewhere. I don't see it pissing on the ground.

Yet that seems to be an excessive amount of fluid going down with no bleeder. I don't think i have a bleeder up and i don't see any puddles on the floor yet, though yeah i started to build up pressure down. So what he's doing it's filling up? The line but there's air in the wheel, cylinders. So as soon as you let off the wheel, cylinder air wants to push back.

It pushes all the fluid back out of the line. So let's go cap that off go get ourselves. A bleeder wrench get some brake pedal at the right size. I'm telling you it's not nope.

We i'm going to fill that master up and go. Do the other side nice. When you don't need a helper, you can actually reach the brake pedal, got a brake pedal. Pretty good one too yeah i'll, give it one more just to push the dirt out of the lines nice.

As long as that master cylinder does not leak, we got brakes and yet a little more fluid. I think this one's having it just about done. Huh see it's bound right. There there's a lump in the chain.

It's coming around that one right there is stuck, hopefully when it runs a little bit that may just work itself out. I think you get the idea. We get a gas tank on it. Put that belt back on see what we get, and i do believe this is the last fuel less liquid.

I need to install yes, i'm feeling confident, maybe overly the gas is shut off i'll turn that on see, if it leaks any further on down the line. So far so good, you know what that means. Don't you for partial throttle and we'll choke it. It may or may not even go.

First pull the choke. Let's see, we get start off with a bang chokes off. So i wouldn't say it's that slow. It's moving along pretty good.

You can find reverse it's even massive. It's gon na move pretty good. There we go. There's reverse that should be the same speed as first gear all right here we go she's a liver, all right.

Oh, it's only idle up a little bit but uh. Maybe we got it we'll put the hood on adjusted the idle a little bit turn it up and tweak the air fuel mix. We're gon na run it until it just starts dying and back up right there and again me get out of here very good, so so the food's rattling like crazy, got ta latch it down figure out how to do it. Oh, i got ta put a pin in it.

No good place to put your feet down, he's a tad shaky hit her in the dirt, so that should be third, so so so so so so so! Okay, that's why it's there awesome! That's good! I got ta reach brian, so awesome, nothing's fun got ta, tighten the belt up a little bit. You got a little too much drag in it on third gear like it. It doesn't really just like take right off kind of slips a little bit. So that's the only place where that slip is there that just needs really some a better place to put your feet down, because you end up putting your feet on these two rods that are or the steering back and forth.

So as you're steering the wheel, you know your feet are kind of rolling with it. It looks like maybe they got used to resting right here. Maybe there's no paint. I've met it.

It's built really. Well, it was everything's kind of matched right to its horsepower and the gear ratio and everything i don't know it's gon na be like dragging stuff around, but it's a tank you're not going to find any regular garden tractor meat today like that. Well guys, i think it's going to bring us to that part of the video what we call it. The end works out.

Awesome, i'm gon na bring it over to my house and putt around during the summer. With it, we got some trails behind the house over in uh brian's yard and he's got his redneck tractor, so this may get a little bit of play in the woods, but this video, i think, is very long already. So i think that's where we're going to go end. It may or may not bring it back in the future.

I may do some things to it, a little bit here and there, but all in all, it's pretty decent. I take the chains off for the summer. It really going over there. You know it really rocks the body back and forth, and that's it what a beast of a machine! It's awesome all right guys with that.

Thank you all for hanging out with me a little bit fun living ranching, bringing all junk back to life and uh just enjoying life in general till then later it's a funky looking it's got a little briggs or something on it yeah. So it probably needs new points, probably a few other things. Would you rope started or does have electric start? No, it's a rope stack yeah, that's pretty cool whole thing. I can't get in my truck right now, but oh you'll leave it at my house too.

If you wanted it, you just want to get rid of it or what's your thoughts, i have to check with my son, okay, because i basically gave it to him how many years ago i had a problem, a few things with it. I might still be here. Yeah yeah yeah. I didn't forget, stop your writing.

Now. It's complete.
