Far as i've been driving by it for almost 10 years, i've never seen it move so you're guessing as good as mine, and they were looking to something's going on with the property or something and they're trying to get rid of it. Now clean up the property yeah, the property's for sale, so i was contacted if i knew anyone who might be interested in first purchasing. This tractor - and i said i know just the guy if you uh, hold on a sec, leave that we'll set up forward a little. Did you slowly come down with that, like a big mouse trap, come on down, that's got it smooth, isn't it so? That's a good look for it.

I can't see that that one, i think you should steer towards this way a little bit and we just keep winching and we see what happens. Oh yeah, that's easy to do. Oh sure, now straighten it out good. Well, it's giving it a throttle, sticks full throttle.

Let's go see what was going on with that: hey guys and how's it going well, it's been a little bit since uh. We were on this kubota tractor due to circumstances beyond my control, but uh. We are back at it. It's uh.

I think we got about three videos on it again, quick back story. Uh, it was bought in an unknown condition. Had a rototiller on the back was probably the best part of the tractor, but the tractor was dead, didn't run. We had to go, lift the hydraulics up, got it on trailer, got home, got the engine running and uh.

At that point, didn't the three-point hitch did not work got the hydraulics working in the back chased a bunch of like the hood was smashed off. The tractor got all that kind of straightened back out again. There was no support for the battery. Got that corrected the charging system wasn't working, got that corrected, steering was locked up.

It would not turn got that corrected and then changed the fluids in pretty much front to back on the tractor on the last video. So hopefully this is going to be the last video on this tractor. I said that on one before but uh, that's i'm going to try to hold true to it anyway, a couple things that we need to still get knocked out. I got a list over there to double check, but uh none of the lights work, the it's missing.

A couple of bolts here and there i think some on the wheels yeah see a stud busted off there. It's missing a bolt for the frame over there there's another bolt missing on the front wheel. So there's a bunch of hardware that needs to be chased. That's what we have on our list - air, cleaner setup, so we got the crossbar done charging system, fluids and filters are done.

We have to make an air cleaner set up for it. We don't have anything for a seat other than a pan, uh the busted studs that we talked about exhaust uh. I think it was just sitting on there, so we can go, get that fixed up hoses. I don't even remember, and when you get it up and running, we got ta, go check the gears and make sure everything's working in the gearbox and trans without further ado.

Let's get set up and get some wrenching done. So i think the first thing i really kind of want to get into is just if i can get the lights to work, or you know lack thereof, there's no light on this side whatsoever. There's one running light over there and has a set of headlights in the front. Let's go see if we can figure out what controls that and how it works.

I do have another kubota tractor here, but is not set up the same. It's a little bit different. I do see this one has the toggle on the dash, whether that's for lights or not, or if it's in the key switch. How many positions you turn well won't be the key, because it's only got two spots.

So possibly it's that right there, i'm not sure how well you can be able to see, but here's that switch right there right there. I think somebody added that, because if i look over the two wires running out of it, are this one and the one right above it and both of those have tape on them. So i think it originally went to the ignition switch and then somebody changed the ignition switch, maybe to a later style or did something that they just went to go used to work and now they wire the headlight circuits up separately. So it's probably the same as my other tractor, but somebody modified it first thing i want to do is just make sure my tesla works, so i do have a light.

I make sure that my ground circuit is pretty good right. I got the key switch on and that switch flipped up. Let me get you back in the stand. We'll start probing those see if anything lights up for us here we think would be this one.

The other one, i would think, would be ground and uh. We got no power coming here. Let's go check this other one, nothing and there's a wire covered up now, so no power on any of those going to the headlight switch. I really didn't expect it to work.

Did you really using the best of switch and location for it too, because yeah, i figure every time it rains? Water just goes in around that, not that i'm condemning it yet, but giving it a good 80, and this is what our problem is - got a little ring on top you're supposed to turn off kind of like a oh radio knob. I just want to try to drop the whole switch down below so that we can access it generally. You would have something like that, but it would have a rubber rubber boot on it. You go double check that the tab too make sure it says off.

Let me see if that says off down below yep. It's definitely on position. Right now get some washes off of it and, of course the wires are just long enough to stick out the bottom, so we can probe it a little bit. Let me see if i can work it up over the column and come down on the other side.

That gives us a little bit of room, let's see if we get in there and see if either side of this lights up for us, i'm going to just stab it nothing on that. The key is in the on position too. I think we were already on that one yeah, so you got nothing there and nothing there. There is a little fuse box yeah.

I got nothing well. Fuse boxes, go open that up. We got going on here, mainly looking fuses huh a little spare packet in there. Let's get a test light on these and see if we get any power coming so yes, yes, no, no, no, no um.

Does this say what they are? No, i would think that's a fuse circuit, and these are the only fuses that are on that. What i'm going to do, i'm going to go, get a little jumper wire and i'm going to go jump 12 volts to this one, and this one and we'll see if we get any power going to that switch actually sometimes believe it or not. It could be a fuse could be on the ground side of things too, so i hook my test light up so that it's on 12 volts, so anything metal that i touch should light up and you know stick around so either these are going to ground. It should light up and it's not so double check real quick before i put power to it and blow it out.

Yes, some, like horns. I think some headlights i've seen before it goes like a relay and it becomes the ground of the relay and they just open and close. They protect the circuit through there all right, so we got 12 volts, make sure it doesn't crank on us. When i go to hit one all right, so we're gon na go pop that on real quick.

It should spark if i hit something yeah. So you know we got power. Let's go clip that one we'll go probe that switch again and we'll try the other one. Nothing on that nothing and there it goes yeah.

So let's just make sure i wasn't screwing up before get in there. I want to try to hold it one-handed and turn the take that jumper wire off. So it works, get the jumper wire off. It works all right, so we got power going into the switch and coming out of the switch all right.

It was not doing that before. I know for a fact: we had nothing on that side. Murphy's law, i know - maybe we're just kind of moving it around and wherever the connection is on the other end, i don't have the answer. Gremlins.

I tell you all right. Let's go follow that wire out see if we get power to any of the other areas of the tractor where the lights are, so, let's just make sure we are still putting power out all right. That's on! Let's go probe the other places you decide to play. Well, nothing, nothing, nothing, so it looks like for, like the other ones, i found all right.

It looks like direction. I found was this one right here? If i stab at it, i got ta sharpen this sucker so that when it goes in my finger, it really goes in my finger anyway, so i turn the switch on. We have power going on and off right there to that one. So worst case we could just run a wire right up to the headlights and we'll just maybe power it off of that.

But let's go check what we got going to the rear of the tractor for the taillights. Well, look at the rear. Fenders see a wire sticking out of there with nothing on it. I see wire sticking out of here with nothing on it, so i have a feeling there was probably wires running up to those orange wires and we call it orange.

It looks like it's the same color as these, so that was the wire that ranged to the back if we have to we'll tap into the same ones. For the front, this one is dead. There's nothing coming out of here, so i'm going to go, run some wiring and i'll be back all right. So we know what wires we need to use to power the lights and i'm looking at what we got on the headlights.

So we got two brown and orange, and the other headlight has a brown and orange. I think one's ground and one's hot for some reason they are tied together in this jacket and going out to one single wire. I don't know if that's quite the case. I do see the ground on the uh.

Headlight bucket itself seems a little weird. It doesn't seem like how it should operate uh if it had two bulbs in there like a high beam and a low beam. I doubt very much it has that though, so let's go, take this apart, we'll go, get a power supply, we'll put 12 volts to each one of those and we'll see if any of those bulbs are any good or if they go through for whatever they do See if again, we got a hot in the ground if it goes to glow right away. We know we're screwing up.

Well, we get nothing that we notice this an issue with the bulb with a socket. We got nothing on that one. Let's try this other one out there. We got nothing in the other one.

We got power yep all right, so we got neither one of these working. Let's for uh, shits and giggles ground out to the headlight itself, we'll ground. The hood we'll just see. If we get anything, i doubt we will way they had it wired.

You know yeah, there's nothing, there, nothing uh! I know it's easier just to pop the hood right back off again and kind of work on them might be. That's the back of the headlight. Now that we can kind of get in there a little bit, i don't know if this is a like a little spring-loaded plate that holds tension on it, not quite sure what that is. I do see three bolts, i think hold the whole bucket in and the bucket will come out the front.

I don't have anything in the front that uh unbolts i'm going to bet the elements are gone on both of them but uh. Let's go see. If we can get one of those out of there and possibly uh see what we got see if they're available, do you see breakage in our future? Well, we'll give her a shot. One broke broke, free all right.

I think three, four three watch it not even hold the headlight in that's unscrewed and see if it'll pop out of there feels like what you hold it. I don't think either of these two do anything just holds the bracket to it. You don't really want to hit it with a hammer. Well, that kind of goes together well or not, but you know what i think we might hit.

I think we might hit it with a hammer we like to call them love taps. Let's go back over in the bench seat we got by taking this the rest of the way apart, see if there's a good bulb in it, or we just got corrosion on these contacts on the back here. So it looks like we got to take these three clips off the outside three or four, and then the headlight come forward, and then we can get the bulb out of the front of it and get these out yeah. It looks like that's just kind of turned into a socket.

I think that bulb is pooched. I'm looking across the element, i can see the elements kind of going snap it off and slice my hand and they're looking pretty corroded. Oh there's a way to. I think we're going to lose it if we try just twisting it out of there.

I wonder if i have any 12 volt lights that are small like this. I'm gon na go check my stash because i got bulbs going, i'm sure we can get it out of there, but i think the motorcycles use these same ones and they're very expensive. Go check. My stash see what i got.

I could see the elements broke going across it. I don't know if you can too sometimes you shake it down. It'll it'll literally sit in the glass there. It is.

I can see it, it's right there in the glass in my stash. We also need um some backup lights too, so if we have any bring that down, find a pair or something be good, i'm on the fender grab that come on. Give me two or something large side. That's like a regular headlight.

Here's the bezel size that we need. No, i think works is those um, those test lights, emergency lights in, like a factory when the power goes out. I think they're, like that size and they're dc a little deeper into the stash. We got these that's blown out though, but are they the same size nope a little different? I thought i'd better stash the lights than that.

I thought i had some of those this. You know emergency lights up there it might be at home. Maybe so, let's go path, release resistance, just so you can get one of these out of here come on. I don't know if we get down where, like a little chisel, we tried tapping that that ring around.

It's definitely rusted up on that, trying not to totally destroy it. So we can actually, you know, read with the bulb there because, as it goes, the glass i'm gon na go see if there's a number on top of that lens. Before i shatter that the rest away out of there for a part number, i think it was like eight five, six, six seven. Once again, they could push up on that base and kind of it's where you need three or four hands come on there.

It goes so i was hoping there's just corrosion on the back of there that wasn't making it so it works, but not the case. So we need a set of those there's nothing. We could do about that today. So let's go on to something else, nothing! I'm! Looking for a great success rate because i don't think we're gon na get it, but i got uh 12 volts running back.

We got two wires hanging out of the back fender here. Let's go: throw power real, quick and see if either these work all right there. We go all right, so we've got a reverse light. Let's go try that other one which would be that tail light nope both of them are for the light.

The big light. That's weird: it's got a high beam low beam. No there's only one wire going to the headlight. It's odd, like i said this one's black, that one goes to that tan light looks like that: plug's, no good, neither lost it! Yeah that my jumper fell off this one's dead.

Now all right. So we know that one works: if we get power going to it and that one maybe the wire doesn't even make it all the way down there. Maybe it's lost somewhere. Now those wires are tied together.

One of them goes here. That's not looking all that impressive. Now is it, and that is balloon too i'll explain why that one doesn't light up those hunting, my bulb stash, were one of the ones that we're looking for right now. I saw these two, i'm not sure what their voltage is.

Maybe is that the same base get? That thing is that i'm probably going to think that these are much less more of an out less of an output, but who knows, let me go just make sure that they're 12 volt, maybe we'll have those for uh samples. I still need to go find one of them and the only one i found so far is like a marker light. That's already orange found the bulb. Let's go power it up again teeth.

They both light up with one light upper that one so now they're independent for some reason they work together. That's that one good! You guys, probably asking him. Why is he? Why are you going so crazy? Well, that works on that? Well, huh wait! Go so crazy. Trying to fix the lights, a lot of the tractors that are using, i do snow, plowing and still flying in the winter time is our snow.

Removal is uh. It's dark at 4 30 around here so you're out there trying to go. Do the driveway and see what you're doing uh, not that the fronts are all that great, because the bucket's kind of in the way? But you want to make sure, when you're out in front of the house that a car doesn't crash into you, while you're trying to plow all right. So we got that one works that one works.

We have nothing over there and the two bolts for the headlights. I went and looked them up. They are six and a half volts a piece, but if they will fit in a socket, there's still a way around that we can run them in series problem is when one burns out both of them are going to shut off. At the same time, let's go play around with that.

I may just kind of jump ahead and bring you back if i get it squared away all right. So this is what i got. Six volt bulb each one. Like i said, i'm going to run it in series normally like parallel would run lights, which would mean you got the hot lead on one side and ground on the other, and you got 12 volts going to it.

But if you run something in series, you drop the voltage if it's 2e dropping in half you're, putting three volt three bulbs out of this is 12 volts and um. What i'm doing in series right now is it'll, be six if it was uh, three bulbs it'd be down to four. Now as soon as one smokes. Those can be done with it, and i don't know how all those bulbs are.

So hopefully they let stay. They go lit and stay lit, find out. Okay as long as they don't smoke. Sometimes what happens is they lose their vacuum? The bulb loses its vacuum and then oxygen gets to the bulb and takes that out so we're gon na.

Let that before go through the trouble of putting them all back in we're gon na, let them burn for a little bit and we'll see if they stay going, if good. If so, then we're good. If not, then i still have to go shopping. It's been about five minutes, or so they were going to pop.

I think they already would have so that works out good for bulbs that have uh both circuits uh, the negative and the positive on the the uh, the butt end. So a lot of times the base is ground and if that's the case, you would have to try to isolate the base yeah so try to run those in series would be hard to do. But again this is uh. Each end of the filament is out there.

So i'm able to go hot lead in ground out and it's the other broken bowl, so that's all i did is. I would call that one uh hot ground and then i just jumped across these two, so it makes uh six volts goes across. This bulb, six volts goes across that bulb one burns out the circuit's now open and both lights go out. So i button up all the wiring, and hopefully they turn the key on flip the switch, and that should do us i'd like to have this.

Have a toggle switch on it, so when i need it and don't need it, especially sometimes you work on like a black back blade or something along those lines. It lights up the back section of it. But if not you know cars. Are there you're, just gon na want the the one brake light or whatever you want to call it tail light? I don't think we're gon na bother, even with this side putting one on there.

This is the side of the tractor. You kind of get on and off all the time too, and it has a tendency to kind of get you into in the special place. So we're gon na go. Take that right off of there.

Maybe we'll weld up beat some of this metal back together. Get some of these cracks fixed and then we'll jump onto something else. Yes, yes, we got the front too. That's the little things in life right that doesn't want to play.

Well, hey, hey and one more i'll. Do the same for that one and done. I think the next thing we jump on is getting an air cleaner on here of some sort. Generally, it would have had a canister that sat above the battery.

That was missing. I don't have any of that assembly, so i think what i'm going to do is work with what i got. I got some kind of i'll show you in a second some kind of filter, but it's going to be open. It's under the hood, but it's open as far as it's, not in the canister and what i'll do is i'll, just kind of keep looking around for something in the future.

If i find something out of swap meet or whatnot i'll go and get a filter housing that the factory one, i think, is uh, probably about four or five inches in diameter - and i think you want thread the end of it. Take the filter out of it and put the cartridge back in there. So let's go see what we got and what we can make. So i believe that may be possibly a vacuum: cleaner filter - or maybe it's just a regular filter for an air filter.

So it's not quite sure blew it out real good and i think it we'll go into that. I don't think we even had anything coming off that manifold. So what i grabbed is a couple of pieces of hose. I got an elbow.

I got a couple of these couplers. I think we can kind of screw with to make something fit and i think that's it. We could probably use some steel piper if we have to, but let's try working with hose if we can get like hose to steer up and into the location. That's fine too.

Let's go over the other kubota with the crickets. Take a quick look out that one's laid out here, there's the canister i was talking about and it actually they just pretty much go with heater hose too or intake hose. I guess i'm using this aspect, so if we just need something to kind of come up to where the filter is, we could put the filter somewhere in that location that dark for you all right. So you went up over the radiator through that side, piece and roughly in this area.

Actually i think this one with the tape on it was the original one. How did that go? Let's say it was something like that and the idea was. I grabbed this elbow to cut out that it's got a big crack in it somewhere that tape was covering. So let's go as long as that fits on there right there you go.

Let's go eyeball a good area to slice, probably right about there i'll cut those off and we'll put a metal, we'll get a piece of metal pipe or something in between them. We'll just clamp them and clamp them and go with that original that original hose and somewhere in the back here, the stash. We should be able to find a piece of pipe that is going to work for us actually that one's pretty close right there. Someone behind it, looks like it's.

Steel, definitely tell you, it's heavy enough. It's a piece of old um lawn furniture. It might be it's! It's a tad on the large side, but we might be able to swell that around the way we need about a three inch piece. Let's go! That's our our backup right now to see if there's anything else that will fit the bill.

It's looking kind of on the small side: it's not too bad! Oh 18 horsepower! Actually this one's bigger, it's 22 horsepower air that it needs to suck in. I say we try for that, we'll slice off a piece of that green that green pipe right now. What's that we'll go for a piece that green pipe try to work that in there, if that doesn't work, we'll go for that other one that we just found, no more stash, that's it that worked out pretty good. I ended up actually using that copper pipe.

Is that the id wasn't as uh heavy and block off as much of the flow? So now we got to just get an air cleaner on the end of it, i'm thinking we could probably go with that and get that clamp down sealed on it and then that piece into there. Apparently, i should maybe blow that out a little bit better. This is the filter size, getting ready to hook that side up. You may want to cut that one back too huh.

It might be a little bit of a leak. Well, we got fresh, clean air going in she's a tad on the floppy side. There. I think we need to come up with something maybe off with this chin right here, just a little bit of support.

Maybe right back here hmm how about a hose clamp that big he uses a piece of metal that comes off and bends on an angle with a hose clamp on it. Let's see if i could find something large enough to go around that, oh once you do! It's got another three inches of throw yeah that'll work out for us. That's what we'll do we'll come up with a little metal bracket and i'll put maybe a self-tapper right in that hole or a nut and bolt. I ended up just welding the bracket to the tin instead of trying to bolt it on there.

When you have a welder, nothing needs to be bolted once the hood closes, let's see what we got for room in there. Normally the snorkel comes right to the front. Get less light yeah that looks pretty good way back far enough. Any rain hitting the hood and stuff should run off again.

It's just snowing that kind of thing eventually i'll find an enclosed one. For now, at least, we have something protecting it. So this is what was on it, but on the sloppy side it does already have the flapper on top, but i wonder if that might be a smaller diameter, let's go measure those two. It also looks like it was possibly put on backwards, like the anyway of flow should be this way.

Let's go see if that is smaller than that or they're the same size. Let's see what yeah just use it as a tape measure that big, i think, they're really the same yeah no noticeable difference all right, so we got to figure out a way to make a shim up, maybe for inside here or maybe slicing and kind of crushing Down a little bit take a little bit of room out of it and we'll weld it back up, see what i can find my statue, usually the flanges that i mean the expanders they use on exhaust. I found these. They uh pretty much take up the slack that is in there, but i don't think they fit over the exhaust the pipe that's on there, the cast iron.

So let's go put a cut inside you see. If we could tap one of these on between the two of them possibly get like a little bit of a wedge fit, then we can put a clamp around it. Yeah, it's harden it's going to kill the blade i'll get it with a cotton wheel. You got ta go over there that lip is kind of beat up on the top.

I'm gon na go run a uh, a flapper disc around that just kind of take that edge off. Let's uh, that's gon na be too much that fine line in between let's um take a slice we'll take a slice out of the pipe of the muffler. This right here, we'll slice this down and we'll allow it to kind of uh close up, see if that works for us, yeah slice that up about three inches or so on both sides that should allow us to crush it down. Maybe now we need a little tiny exhaust clamp.

Let's go see if you can find that that's gon na be good luck, so the smallest i found in my stash is one and a half it's one and a quarter pipes. I really don't want to put that on there. I think it's gon na. I don't want it to crush it, oval kind of want to have a round pinch on it.

So what i'll wait is we'll wait on that? So i can go to the hardware store. Just get an inch, a quarter, clamp and i think we'll be all set with that. Through the magic video we got, ourself a a buck and a quarter hose clamp. Let's go see how this fits on there for us can't get in you snug.

As long as we're able to get it hammer it on there and it doesn't spread out too far to get these, we may have to go hammer it on and kind of squish him a little. It needs feedings beatings. I say i think it'll go. I think we spread her out.

Just maybe i don't know we're good. I should have came up a little further, but we'll work with what we get. What we got about that's about right about how much i want not exactly worried about exhaust leaks. Just make sure we get the flapper facing the right way, all right, tight map we go, i don't want to crush it too much in case.

We need to take it off. It's not too bad, but she's on there she's stout make sure our hood clears it. Decent got about a half inch or so that's plenty that'll. Do it you're smoking your face? Should i flip the other? Now it didn't matter right, you figure you're doing 40 mile an hour.

This way right. You fight the wind all right. What what do you want to do now? Let's go uh chase, some missing bolts. Let's start with that, one, your loader doesn't need to be bolted together.

In my hardware stash, i don't there's anything even going to be large enough in here. Let's go see if that's the size and i have to go shopping. So what's that one right there? Okay, we go with that one. The only problem is, i don't have nuts for it.

Yeah keep your jokes to yourself: let's go with that! Guy might do it. So, let's go and see what we got going on here, we're just missing a stutter knot. I feel behind it. It feels like half the casting is broke away.

Let's get this wheel off, see, what's going on back there and possibly i don't know if we could just kind of maybe weld it and beef it up or put a piece on this side and just do a nut bolt with washers to kind of hold it Together but let's get that wheel out of the way, take a peek and see what we got and corner the hub is bust off. I think that's going to be cast iron too. I don't know if we can get a. Maybe we can go put a bolt like what this is here, run it in and try to give a couple of zaps on it, but cast iron.

Um just doesn't work. Well that way, we could try it. I i think it's going to be a fail either way. I think, if we're able to get a bolt back in here, then we're able to get it to like lock in maybe we'll grind this along the flat side so that it doesn't want to slip out.

You know now, let's get cleaned up, see if we can find a bolt, that's roughly that same size and something's got to be better than what's there right, that's the same size as that, the nut from there fits on here. I do see threads on there. Those threads look actually a little closer together, don't they it doesn't look like it matches that does it maybe we'll uh just kind of turn the edge of this down a little bit, so it can drop in whack it with a hammer, see if it'll just pop In there yep, it did so as long as that's straight we're able to get the wheel on it. Let's see we just try running some weld over the top of it see what happens worst case, even if that doesn't hold as long as we're able to get it all together and we pull on it.

It still be supported by the shoulder better than what it was other than that, and there is a way like i said, to weld cast. I'm not sure if this is cast steel or cast iron. So let's go fire up the welder and see if we can do something watch your eyes cranked up pretty good. I think it's got ta set on three eighths yeah, that's cast! So oh we definitely do enough weld on it.

The thing is whether that's just going to crack off that cast or i got a decent connection to it. Kinda hear it. Let's give her a couple of whacks see what it does. It might be okay, i'm going to come in with a little flapper disc and just go clean up that surface, just a little bit where i'm protruding onto the hub, so where the wheel doesn't hit it and uh shut the wheel back on actually we'll run a Nut on it now we put the wheel on put the wheel, put a nut on and then we'll cut off the the excess there.

That's good there's a little bit of love too watch the wheel not fit on. I was only kidding. Well, that's why they left that one out run the nuts in say we run those three in then we'll do that one last different size push our luck. Click cut that off.

Let's see right about there, wow wow each rear wheel is missing a bolt stud. Whatever you want to call it all right looks like it's all, just packed in there. It's like it's been that way for a while huh now it looks like it's got wheel adapters on it too that right there, you can see a tighter bolt pattern on there. So i'm not quite sure somebody threw some different wheels on it over the time or is it supposed to have a? Is there a nut? That's behind here that it goes into hard to say: go grab an air gun, i'm going to blow that crap right out of there and see if we have any threads, we'll probably pull one of these out too and just see what it has.

But let's go hit that with an air gun, real quick. I think i see threads yeah, there's threads in there. It's just missing a bowl which is nice. I think we have to run a tap through it hold on a little on the crusty side there, let's um pop one of these out, because i need to go, find it for a size anyway.

Hopefully it does not break when it comes off. In case you screw it up, it's going directly across from it new all right. So that's what we're going to need to have to find two of those because we're missing one on the other side too, let's go. Do some shopping little hardware areas? If not, we maybe hit the hardware store we got.

I don't know if i have a tap that big too. That's the other thing you know, but everyone has something to work with. For that. You see one head on: it's going to be kind of it's a fine thread like that, but we need larger.

I do have another bucket or two upstairs to go. Look through yet, but this is the search now other drawer that i showed you that's all standard. It's not metric. No, i know none of that's gon na bode well.

For us all right i'll do shopping. Unless you see something right away, i'm gon na go shut you off and uh. Oh i'm gon na pick see what i can come up with. So i looked around, i did find uh looks like from the center of a crank seems to be the right side right side right size, but i only found one so i screwed over to the hardware, store real, quick six minutes before they closed.

I got a set of them they're a little bit on the longer side, not saying that we can't cut it down um, it all depends on how much depth we got how much penetration i do not want to. I don't have a tap. I do not want to um run those bolts in this, so maybe what we'll do is we'll take this large one that we have and we'll just try to run it through with an impact gun in now a little bit of oil. So you can go clean.

The threads up with this make it our sacrificial limb. I guess let me go find a socket for that. Yes, see how this works, give a little bit of look at a little bit of that. I want to just screw right in with my fingers right.

I doubt it let's even get it started, though. Can you think that's straight? Does it look straight all right we're going for it that only went in about what three or four threads? Sometimes you got ta come back with an air gun too you just blow out the crap, like all the rust that builds up on the threads. So you go back with an air gun. You blow out the crap.

That's in there. Then you get a little bit more see all the rust that's back inside there, so we'll just keep working same with this too. You get all the crap that's built up on the bolt threads look good still. You would think this is pretty hard right, so you can see roughly how far back it goes.

I think it's a a little bit more to go than that, but let's give it a shot. How close we are anyway, i think we got it. I'm not sure myself, which one is it that one all right that one's tight? Okay, i could get a lock washer. Let's go see how far this one goes in.

I don't know if it's gon na bottom out in that hub or not. You know i just don't physically know how deep that goes. That'll be fine, just needs a washer good. You didn't think i was gon na be able to find a lock washer.

Did you yeah? I was looking like. I was gon na. Take a ride back to the hardware store that i can't do. You think i would have thought of that, but i did and then you're saying yeah, but you need one for the other side found two of them.

I'm gon na do the same. On the other side, i'm probably not going to film it if it's more of the same of this, if it's something different, then i'll turn the camera on, so that one's all set. That's when we stole it transferred into place we're all good with that, but that might be an issue still immediate one more out there roughly about that. So that's just a nut and bolt, though, that shouldn't be an issue all right last call for hardware.

You know, if you see anything missing, see a hole there. I don't think that's. I don't think they had hardware there, though it looks like a pivot point or something how, if i take my vice grips off, what's that noise, it's got a bolt in there cut that off, don't see anything else, standing right out, that's loose right. There might be an issue, the reservoir tank floating the pins.

This doesn't have greasable pins, they all just kind of flop. Their way around there may spray some goo in there of some sort, something that turns into like a grease but yeah. They don't have a bushings in there that you grease, i think, that's it right front end has been greased. All that you know the pivot points have all been done.

All this stuff's been taken care of all right. We go tighten up that tank and i think next is we got to deal with a seat, the lovely one that was on there, i think other than making it pretty. I probably won't do. The last thing is dealing with the seat.

They had two brackets and sat on some cushions yeah. I have that same opinion. So that's why i went for the big bucks. That's a nice clean one, get that out of the bag and get some hardware on it go cruising in style.

Well, that looks a little better. Now, doesn't it you need to get a uh rubber grommet, i'm missing one for the back of the seat, it's kind of offsettle a little bit that they touch at the same time. Now, so that's how we're going to go! Leave it you flip them up in for rain uh. It depends you want to keep the seat clean, but sometimes i actually find if you flip it over water, actually gets down in behind and causes more damage.

It does have drain holes in it, but it does keep the snow off of it when you're ready to go use it. I think we are done with mechanicals. Again. Aesthetics is another thing in its own, i'm not that worried about paint at least not this time.

I just want to get all the mechanicals going. I say as long as it starts to back up again we try the loader, maybe shove it in a pile or something see if it can do some digging and how all that stuff works out. I may put the tiller back on the back side of it just to have some. You need some counterweight to counter that.

What the bucket is doing, especially on a two-wheel drive tractor, these tires, are filled, i'm not sure if they fill with water, if they're filled with calcium common thing to do. But when the valve stem was in low position, i pushed it out and a bunch of fluids shot out, so they are definitely filled and that's again just try to help put a little bit more weight on it all right. I got ta go jockey. This thing out of here and uh, let's go, give her well, i haven't started it in a month.

Circumstances under my control under out of make sure we're in neutral, see how she does make sure i don't run over myself. I would say we're probably going to gloat, let's gloat for a little bit give her up nice, i'm going to uh put the rototiller back on it, just for counterweight make sure we're functioning doing like that. Come up with the rpms nice we're all set all right. Let's get her out of this little cubby hole.

Well, that might be an issue when it releases this up. It's not holding pressure, so i think it might be the seal on the main cylinder it's got blow by it's coming around it. It may get a little bit better for cycles a little bit, but i have a feeling: that's uh. It's gon na need a repair on its own yeah.

This goes all the way down. Well, let's go see what the bucket can do in this amp it. I wouldn't exactly say that brakes stop on the dime, but they're not terrible. I say we try putting that's nothing but a bunch of rock it's not like it's dirt or loom, which would be real, easy.

That's really going to put a put a test on it. I don't expect it to do great, but let's see we get so well, the levers are backwards on the loader compared to my other one. So it's a little screwed up in your head, trying to figure out how to operate it. I think once you're used to it it's fine.

I don't see any issues with the loader function, but let's go check out the tiller, see how that works and if that's all doing what it should be doing. It's not exactly filling up your lawn there's just a lot of rock here, but let's go give it a shot. That's pretty good at chipping rocks again, it's not exactly normally what you would be rototilling, but i just kind of want to fire it up and run it a little bit. It seems pretty decent so other than having a problem where the uh cylinder is dropping down.

For the three-point hitch we were having a problem with that before too. In the beginning i took it apart and just tried to find out. There was nothing happening with that, so i have a feeling there's still that same issue going on not quite as bad, but we are leaking by somewhere on one of the seals or the pump or something along those lines, so that still needs to be addressed other Than that i think it's worked out pretty good. It's got ta again get put through its paces, a little the shifter's a little on the hard side to kind of get finding the gear right away.

But again i think i just need to run a little bit. Do pretty good all right guys? Is that going to go? Call it right here. I think we put it through his faces for now it does still need a little bit of love, but at least it's up and functioning other than the three-point hitch, and we could actually just take that off for now and run it. But i do want to fix that so well, a little addition.

It was having issues shifting and i want to get at least that corrected. The three-point hatch is probably its own issue to go deal with with it dropping down, but take the tiller off. We don't really have to worry about that at the moment we still just use the tractor anyway, so it's got shift forks that put the gears back and forth everything kind of looks okay inside here i don't see anything worn, i don't think anything's screwed up now. There is a plate that sits over there over top of this, that has the three shifter forks on it and then, on top of that is a receiver for the shifters, themself and i'll go show you on the bench what's kind of going on, so there's the Two shifters: this is the main one, and this one is high and low range, so that sits in either lined up, so that would sit right in the middle of there.

You would move this shifter forward and back. I think this one's second and third, this one will be first in reverse, and then fourth and fifth again on the other side, and they have shift forks on the back of them that move those gears around to where they need to be well. What was happening was it kept jamming where it would look something like i don't think i could do it that one will be dropped down and that one would be up. It would be locked up just like that, and then you know these are squished in, but the the shifter would be stuck in here right now.

It couldn't go into this one. It couldn't go into that one and it was stuck in a gear to a forward gear, not sure which one it was so i'll take it apart. Like i said uh, i find that this one shifts okay and this one shifts okay, but there's there's times when this middle one is just bound up. Now, it's not hitting anything on the other end, there's nothing there in its way.

That fork is really in the open. They have three little springs on top of here and they have check balls inside there and little check balls what they do. They just kind of hold the shifter and that that's when you're moving the shift and you feel the clunk going back and forth. That's those little balls dropping into there.

This one seems like it's kind of jammed or binding up, so i'm going to even get a magnet, get those three out of there and see if that frees up there might be just like a sharp bar or something on that one position. It doesn't allow this one to move. It also looks like it's fairly beat up. You see the surface there, where the shifter's been sliding back and forth.

It's got some decent amount of hammering on all three of them. No, it may or may not have been a problem for a while and see if we could just having gravity, feed out and one middle one's one really another one. Let's go look at so it's this shift. Work is still bound up and the check ball is not even in there.

I also see a bunch of rust looks like old rust, but some rust on the on the forks where they slide back and forth. So i'm gon na go see we to get this one apart, figure out why it's binding. What's in that hole, that's causing it to bind. I have a feeling it's just a big burr, so i took those little preloads out of there, and so nothing is touching that fork.

So you can get her to move funny because it wiggles back and forth what is causing it not to move. So i looked at it a little more. I ended up pulling the rod out of the top, because i saw that access hole up there and lo and behold there's a check ball right there, so it's being held by the other side. Actually, if that's up, can we get it to go out now a little move, so i don't know, first of all, even what that does what the purpose of that is, i'm going to work on getting that one out.

There might even be one that's on the other side, that's between these two that is stuck in into the arm here. Just don't know because like right now, that should come out of there with that ball being up. Oh so i do think there's one stuck between here and here inside and that's the one that's got it jammed. So i'm going to try taking the lower rod out and see if we can get that ball to free up.

It's probably just egged out in the socket is my guess, but don't know, do you tear it apart? I don't know. I'm gon na get in here see what it drops out when i take it out that sucks, there's no hole to it's, not it's only drilled on the one side, it's not like, we can go peek up inside there. No, it's hanging down we'll come out all right. Finally, it's amazing.

That's all, let's screw the whole thing up, which is a little bit of rust in there that the it's probably only it's, probably meant so the shifter only moves one way or the other and she's a little beat up on the edges. Now, that's probably from us hammering on it all right me hammering on it should be able to yeah. They got such a berm on them. They not even popping out.

Maybe i could do, is come down from the top of the drill bit and open that up. A little bit so what? Because that's what happened? It got wedged to one side and just bound come on yeah just bound to one side. We could probably swap these over if they're the same size for the front ones. They got some dents in them.

What about that one? This is a troublemaker here. Well, that thing is stuck well, it's just got crud around it. This is the one that caused our problem, though. Let's go see what we got see some marks on it: yeah yeah, a big old divot right there.

So maybe we'll trade these in for the the easier place where they were up there. I think they're all the same size, i'm gon na, go, take a see if you can get a long drill bit to kind of come down and open these up, so that that ball can uh slide freely through there. I think it's just what happened just got jammed to one side and just stayed there. That was it.

They grabbed an index and went up to the bits that would start to drop down and then not and that one binds up in that first hole. We're talking about so, let's go take. Hopefully it's long enough. I think we just chalk up on it real shallow.

Let's see if we can kind of open those holes up and then we should be able to drop a ball, you know lose it right down. It should go all the way down to the bottom and fall out right, yeah, good, that's what we want. We want clearance that it didn't have before and now we're good. So we're going to do i'm going to go clean up those linkages, the the pinpoints around all here, i'm going to go kind of like buff, the real sharp edges off of them, so they don't bite like they did and get it all back together, see if That fixes their problem.

I think that was it though it was just. It was stuck to one side. I think we're going to do is a bunch of detents, because it's it's pinned in the fork. It really can only work on one area.

You can see where it's all scored, there's no difference, i'm going to flip it so that we're going to run in this area. Where is it a clean surface where the check ball can go instead of where all that damaged beat-up-ness over the years has happened? So i think possibly i was screwing up a little bit, but you know again it was jammed. It wasn't going anywhere um, because these two need to be in neutral this one in this one for the center one to move which it does now. Those balls are all in there, but then soon as say, you move this one.

This one can't move and this one can't move until this one's returned back to neutral right then that one can move and then that one can move. So i think we're good. I do think it was stuck that was it was jammed on the one. Obviously it wasn't shifting.
