Rebuilding the Engine Part 1 | Farmall Super C Restoration

It’s time to start rebuilding the engine! In this episode, I install the piston sleeves, valve tappets, camshaft, crankshaft, and pistons.

  1. 😰🤬🤐😛🤐🤐🤐🤐😱😱😱😱😱🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷

  2. Pete, I have been watching a lot of your videos. Listening to you is so soothing as you explain and go through each step of your rebuild. They are like a quiet song that sooths the soul. Keep the videos coming. They are great to watch and learn.

  3. Pete, thanks for this video series of you restoring your Farmall Super C. I am enjoying it. I believe elsewhere you've said you don't have plans to restore any more of your tractors, but I still promise not to tell Squatch that you reuse fold-over locks… just kidding! Thanks again.

  4. I so much enjoy watching your videos and your journey. My grandparents had a dairy farm dating from when he was discharged following WWII until my uncle passed away. They raised chickens for many years in addition to operating the dairy. They were very frugal in their operation, so watching you keep the old equipment in such good order brings about so many great childhood memories. I’m 3 years older than you btw and enjoying everything about your channel. Thanks, Pete! Fan from Mississippi.

  5. I just love your mechanical videos, just don't see that much anymore.
    I'm an aircraft mechanic and to me to you do it just like any manual has ever described.
    I have your videos on all the time when I'm at home, just great.

  6. that was very informative and enjoyable. i always wondered how those wet sleeves went together. even though ive worked on many engines, i learned by watching you. thanks from Indiana

  7. I swear, I have never ever worked on a tractor but I feel like I could just fire up your videos and get the job done. Best how-to videos on the net. The natural, relaxed personality makes the video a joy to watch. Really well done.

  8. At my age 73 I had forgotten how simple it is to follow the basic steps and always take you time. It makes for a easy job. I watched all your vidios and enjoy them all. THANK YOU

  9. Mr. Pete, I am completely ignorant in mechanics. I understand just about nothing that you explain in your videos but I enjoy them so much. I find them relaxing, soothing and very enjoyable. you are meticulous and methodical in your work and you are eloquent in your explanations. Good job.

  10. Off topic – love your YTs – but we want to come to the Ithaca Market Oct 22? I have a msg to them to see if they are still running the Market then….THANK YOU for your wonderful videos!!

  11. Hi Pete

    Just wanted to say what a fantastic job you did explaining step by step as you went along with rebuilding the engine. It really felt like I was sat in the garage watching you build it. Your explanations, sound, lighting and camera angles made it so easy to follow along. Brilliant. Can't wait for the next installment.

    Best wishes

    Andy

  12. I've been watching for a while. I live in Mexico but am up visiting family in northeast Ohio. Have shared with some of my aunts and uncles about your channel and I mentioned that you weren't much for John Deere tractors and my 83 year old mother immediately said, "That's because we're Farmall people in this part of the country!" (without knowing what your favorite make is! )

  13. Wow that's kinda cool Pete how the piston is in a sleeve & are disconnected from the whole entire block its kind of cool how back in the day stuff is built and how you still see to this day It's funny stuffy just nowadays is not made to last almost seems like there's more stuff from the 1,800s then the 90s you know LOL but love channel love the content god bless

  14. I have no idea what is going on here (i.e., how an engine works/is built) but I find it fascinating to watch. I would never imagine cotter pins being used to hold something together!

  15. Did you look at the cam for wear and lift? Teach always had us cut some gas line for the rod bolts. I see you were careful.
    We all have techniques .Good procedures and build

  16. Hello Pete, I have just finished your book and along with the videos I am finding your message very disruptive. I also want to get out of the rat race, farm and live in harmony with nature's cycles. Thank you!

  17. It’s really saddens the heart Pete to think that all your hard work will be for not when we can no longer afford fuel . So much history will just sit and collect dust .
