    I restore a lot of tractors and I sure wish I was a better machinist. The machinists around me don’t like to work on anything they can’t just put in the CNC with preset values. The ones who will are getting older and retiring. Glad to see a young feller such as yourself learning and more than likely taking over the family business. Great work as always. I’m glad my son showed me a Tik Tok y’all made which brought me to your KZread channel.

    Great video! Love watching these old JD blocks get rebuilt. The relief valves underneath are called Petcock’s there a decomposition valve so there easier to start by hand. Had a friend build a costume block from well casing to build a stroker motor in there JD G, they were 9” Caterpillar Pistons when they were done. Also a quick hack we used for drilling the plug hold in the repair sleeves was use a broken spark plug as a guide. Just my two cents. Anyway again great video. Keep up the good work. Be well my friend.

    I had my JD A block bored to 5 5/8". The first shop screwed up the cylinder and put a sleeve in. It came loose and went in to the crank case. The second shop rebored for a larger sleeve. This shop pined the sleeve to the block in three places at the bottom of the bore. All is fine now after twenty years of pulling! I also use candle wax to lubricate bolts when removing them from casings. The bolt should be cool enough not to light the wax and hot enough to have the wax run like water. Penetrates very well. Patience, patience, patience! Great videos..

    Something I found useful is from K&S Precision Metals. It is a brass tubing found at most hobby shops and hardware stores. Each size of tubing will fit over or inside of the next size tube. I use this tube when I need to drill out broken bolts or holes as you did in sleeves and other things. I place the size tube that fits inside of the hole with the broken bolt. If necessary I can use a few more tubes inside that tube and than a drill bit inside of those. The tubing keeps the drill bit centered while drilling a hole in the bolt. This is very useful when trying to protect threads from a spinning drill bit. Hope this helps.

    Love the videos. I spent a lot of time at my grandparents place. My granddad had a B Model I think. It had the foot starter and what he called a suicide clutch. Didn't take me long to figure out why it was called that. Once it was engaged you had better give yourself room to break the clutch loose. This video brought back a lot of great memories. We put new rings and bearing in it when I was about 14. We got it back together and I can remember my dad's smile as he adjusted the carburetor down as low as it would go, it didn't have a tach so I can't be sure be it had to be something like 50 to maybe 100 RPM's I know it was a considerable amount of time between each cylender firing. Thanks for the videos and memories.

    Great job ! I am impress on how much care you are both taking in doing your work. I would not hesitate one minute in bringing an engine to your shop for rebuilding. On the other hand I was a bit surprise when I saw you drill the spark plug and decompressor holes by hand. I am used of seeing you taking so much care. I know a set-up on a press drill would have taken time but it would have maybe reduce your stress and reduce the risk on damaging the block. For the spark plug holes a drilling sleeve with OD fitting the thread and ID fitting your need would have helped you with the alignment and protected the threads… Anyway I understand this was a unique job again and noway I could have done better the entire job. Well done and thanks for sharing!

    In my 30+ years of working on aircraft, I have picked up (drilling a hole from an existing part into a new part) thousands of holes. Usually in expensive parts. A safer way of drilling the spark plug and compression release holes without damaging the threads would be to make a drill bushing. That way, you can drill the pilot hole at the exact angle. Then drill the holes to size using piloted core drills. Works every time. Less chance of "we messed up".
