It’s time to split the Farmall 856 to check the engine and transmission seals, and the clutch. I find something that leads me toward the possibility of a lot more work than I expected…

I know it's alittle late but how about putting a sleeve bushing on the pilot shaft . Maybe .030" wall thickness. Yes, machine down and shrink fit..works like a charm !
yes, it is the right thing to do. you might never go this deeper again unless there is an urgent reason to. wise to fix it since you are this deep into the engine.
Pete, I really enjoy your restoration videos and am working my was through the 856 one. I see you using several blue caplugs, what sizes are they and where do you purchase them?
Nike says "just do it"
We journeyman machine repairmen at GM called that dimpling on a shaft to enlarge the diameter "Cincinnati-ing" the shaft fyi.
Pete, dimple the shaft again and use red locktite when putting it back together. It will last a very long time. You asked for suggestions, that is mine. Stay safe my friends. God bless you all. ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸
What kind of wheels are you using on the jacks on your splitting stand
David Richards channel is awesome
That's what my dad and I used that parts cleaner with that brush you were using bought all from Napa for my 1965 Dodge dart 270 slant six
Outstanding Craftsmanship Pete!😇!😇!😇!😇!
Greatest video
If you're not sure, flip a coin!
How close is this series to a 560. I'm going to have to replace the TA on one and can't find any information on it

Pete, could you post some pictures of your tractor stands? I would really like to make a set of them. Thank you and keep making videos.
DO IT!….YOU WILL SLEEP BETTER.
19:45 :DDDDD
Great video,myself,,I would go ahead and fix it while I was near it,,I've had to do a few jobs over for the second time around and kicked myself for not doing it right the first time,,and I'm sure you've been in that boat as well!
While your in there there's no better time
I think you have answered your own question. Yes you should go for it!
You could knurl the end of that shaft, if you have a way of doing it… I've seen that done in a factory making steering columns, so that they don't have to machine to expensively tight tolerances.
There's enough interference with the knurling and bearing that it won't slip. Just have to be careful if its subject to high loads or shock loads. That can "crush" the knurling.
If you don't replace it you might regret it later
Love your vids, and Ole tractors. I grew up with a farm all h.
Since you got it down that far … get them plugs theres only 4. 🙂
I say go ahead and replace the torque amplifier. You'll sleep better…
1 or 2 videos earlier you said to do the things that you enjoy (regarding cross-stitch and efficiency). Maybe that’s the answer.
HEY PETE,I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW SO MANY PARTS THERE ARE WITH THIS TRACTOR. I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING HOW YOU JUST TAKE APART EVERY DETAIL AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER, AS IN YOUR OTHER VID'S. AWESOME.
The kids should be involved in FFA or 4H did they not want to?
Thanks so much for allowing me to live vicariously through your videos! I’ll never be able to be a farmer but you have made it possible! Thank you!
Please overlook the obvious grammar error. I can't believe l did that.
I am John; Ruth is my wife. It took me a long time to learn this. If I do it correctly, I will not have to do it over in the future. Also it will be less expensive to fix now . And even if it doesn't need to be done now, my tractor will have more value if I decide to sell it later. My opinion is to fix it now and don't wait.
What to do with the shaft?
Check the price of a replacement. That will help determine from a cost side if that is something that you can handle. Is it right to leave it as is? Not really, but you know it worked and likely will for quite some time.
Do a good job Pete replacing the TA.
Really enjoy the channel , but really enjoy these tractor rebuilds.
Of all the other farming videos I watch, your website is amazing of the detail you go in with fixing your tractors. Of course you are the only one using older ones because all the others are trading in for those new green ones…
To do the right thing it is usually not the easy way to do things; but to do the right thing is always a long term commitment and pays off, eventually. And starting now you can enjoy having a good conscience.
Do it right the first time or do it 2 times.
Love these restorations, would like to see you do a whole video on hydraulic repair/function. Thank you for taking the time to edumacate those that want to learn more.
Pete I wish I had your patience!!!! Always so calm as your getting all this stuff taken apart. Love the video’s
