Finishing the Cooling System, Brakes, and Clutch | Farmall Super C Restoration Episode 14

It’s time to put more shiny, painted parts on the Super C! Today I’m focusing on the cooling system (fan, radiator, water pump, etc) and the linkages, pedals, and adjustments for the brakes and clutch.

  1. I got to say I am thankful for your series of videos on the super c I am currently in the process of rebuilding my 140 which has the same motor c123 and your attention to detail an explanation of steps is a lifesaver and money saver lol.

  2. This video had it ALL! Cool parts explanations, satisfying painting and final fit and finish of major assemblies. So cool to watch! I'm by no means a tractor guy, I'm an aircraft mechanic as a matter of fact, but this kind of old mechanical stuff is great!

  3. Hey Pete. Still watching. love this one with all the shining newly painted parts going back together! Its keeping me inspired. was nice to see the rebuild on the fan assembly. I was pondering how that set up worked. every one I've seen was leaking oil around that shaft. And that's what I don't want on my newly painted engine. Looks like your your rebuild should work well. So my tactic ……before I started watching your Chanel …was to just by one of those after market fan assemblies with grease sealed roller bearings. And I did. Made in china and looks like it. I plan to unbolt original fan blades and install onto new shaft and pulleys. However after watching your rebuild I might give it a go. I still just can't wrap my mind around how oil does not come out around that shaft without some kinda seal. and yes…that thing seems over engineered. Im getting close to bolting the torque tube back onto the trans case on my super a. Oh and I get it about painting the bolts for all the parts I've taken off to paint before reinstall. Ive actually cleaned ,primed and painted a lot of them separately. Anyway Thanks for taking the time to document all your detailed restoration techniques. Looking forward to seeing that jewel crank up. 👍

  4. I want to thank you Pete for the education on the farmall engines,
    I have a 1952 Yale forklift with a farmall engine in it and I'm so glad I found your channel and lernd about how to properly maintain it . I never new about greasing the distributor shaft and how to oil the bushings or bearings in the fan I had no idea about those screws that I had to remove to do the proper maintenance .

  5. I just bought a super c for 350.00 hasn’t been in use for a couple years all your videos have inspired me to redo it thanks Pete. Rick from hippiehills Missouri

  6. Wow that mechanical assembly is really a head scratcher on the water pump. What the heck!!! But after all this time….. no plain bearings to wear out…. No ball bearings to run dry…. Just dont forget the dang oil!

  7. It makes one wonder how efficient were the assembly lines putting these together given the difficulty of some of those bolts? Such as the radiator and water pump. Maybe this was before time studies?

  8. Pete, you are amazing. Skill, patience, determination and dedication!

    I’ve got a handful of tractors from the 40’s and 50’s. They run and are useful but they are not pretty. Well I guess I think they are, but nobody else would think so.

    Mine are what they are and yours are what the are because you have incredible amounts of skill, patience, dedication and determination!
