  I can't see how all the people that gave you good comments could here what was being said. I watch YT vids with my TV and your volume control sucks between the actual voice volume and that loud music. I turn the volume up to here what you're saying and them the loud music comes in and I have to turn the volume down so the music isn't blaring through out the house. Also you should wear a microphone of some sort so your volume stays the same all the time. Sorry for giving you an unhappy comment.

  Thank you for the info. The bolts on the T5 or trimec trans are on the outside which does make that part of the install easier. However, from everything I have read on the internet, the shifter is further back and can interfere with the seats, also getting the slave cylinder set up correct is a pain. The M5Od is a straight forward install, once you know how to manuver past the non removable cross member. Having said all that, the T5 is probably a better transmission for higher hp engines.

  Were you in high range on the hydro? If so, next year try it in low range. That 20hp diesel shouldn't bog that bad with a 14" bottom. You might try a depth gauge wheel too. Also make sure plow is running level in furrow, too much tilt forward and they will pull much harder. A properly adjusted moldboard plow doesn't take a ton of HP to pull unless the ground is real wet. The general rule is to set the depth at half the width or slightly more. Your 14" bottom will work best at no deeper than 7 to 8". My 1970 General Electric garden tractor only has a 1.5HP 36 volt traction motor and i can pull a 10" Brinly about 5 to 6" deep in sod and about 7" deep in previous garden ground without the amp meter going past the medium zone. I have run it to 8" deep once just to show off that it could pull it and it did but it worked the tractor noticably harder as the stated working depth for that plow as per Brinly is 6".

• 
  @Frontpagefab3 ай бұрын

  Hello and thanks for watching. Yes, it was in low range. There are a few problems going on with this plow. The biggest problem is someone took a 2 bottom and converted it to a one bottom. When they did this they used the back moldboard instead of the front, so the side to side alignment isn't right. The second is when they did the conversion, they flipped the alignment cam rather then re drilling the mounting holes so I can't get the moldboard aligned the way it should be. The other issue is with the tractor itself. The 3 pt doesn't have a position stop to lower it to the same place every time. I am going to send this one down the road at the next auction and keep looking for a better unit. Someday, I'd like to get a 40-50hp tractor and a proper 2-3 bottom plow.

  What about getting a more narrow tiller for weed control, reason being is that corn grows roots in every direction so you essentially removed at least half of the roots. So what happens now is the corn for around a week or so is not growing, but it is repairing the center roots. Try to imagine any plant, say for instance a tree. They produce tons of roots and in all directions and depths. So the roots in approximately the top two inches try to soak up any water but it doesn't feed the plant, it uses the water to get stronger roots branching out in every direction, these are the roots that provide plant stability, so a gust of wind doesn't knock the whole section down. Below is the next set of roots, from around two & a half inches to around six inches deep, these are where the plant gets it's nutrients. Then on corn you will have one or sometimes several "tap" roots. These grow essentially straight down and are looking for continuous water supply. I'm not sure at what depth you are tilling but the plant now has almost all of it's roots intertwined in each other and staying in the row itself. So now instead of each plant having room in between the rows to stretch out, each plant is in direct competition with every other plant. That's why when we plant hundreds of acres of seed corn 🌽 we generally plant on 30 inch rows, and very few of us ever use a mechanical cultivator. If we damage the roots then there is a direct line to lower yields. I hope this helps you, and you have more sweet corn then ever before!!!🚜🌽🧺🧺

  Howdy! I know this has been a while back, but I have a few questions regarding this build. As fas as the engine mound adapter brackets, I ordered the same kit you did from trans-dapt. The bolt holes that secure the brackets to the crossmember are slotted, so where abouts did you position them? As far forward as possible, or did you have to take measurements and position each one differently? Also, as far as the ac box, did you hold your heat gun in one spot for a while or did you move the gun all around the area of the ac box? I'm in the process of putting a 302 in my ford ranger and I'm using your videos as a reference as I'm doing it. 😁

  Hello and thanks for watching. I left those plates loose until I got the motor and transmission set in and the transmission cross member installed. I found that leaving them loose, let me slide the motor forward a bit to create a little more room to get the transmission input shaft past the pressure plate fingers. Regarding the A/c box, I moved the heat gun around to heat up a bigger area, then used a PH8A filter to massage the plastic. Also, look at the shape of the valve covers. This design worked better then the ones that have straight walls. One other tidbit I think I mentioned in (maybe) the summary video is that using a 1 or 2 inch body lift will make things way easier. I didn't use a body lift on this one, but will for sure if I every do another v8 swap.

  Thanks for your video. I use a standard rotation timing cover with the GMB High Performance Water Pump 125-1560P which is reverse flow with outlet on the driver side. It has the "circular" holes in the backing plate which is supposed to work with either a reverse or standard flow timing cover. The timing cover's D-shaped openings are indeed a pain to match up especially if you are trying to use a reverse flow WP on a standard flow TC. You may note that the expensive Edelbrock 8840 reverse flow WP also uses a backing plate with circular (not D-shaped) holes.

  @Frontpagefab Ah yes, the Ranger V8 swap northern radiator. I saw that too, and I was definitely considering that when my 302 arrives for my ranger v8 swap. My only concern is that since the radiator is mounted farther forward, you may more than likely have to cut the tabs of the ac condenser and move that farther forward as well if you still plan on keeping the ac. I'm guessing get a few of those nylon zip tie things that go through the fins of the radiator and let the new radiator hold the condenser with the foam/felt pads in between so there's no metal to metal contact. May be a little easier for you since you have a manual transmission. But as for me, I'm planning on going with a Ford AOD, so I will also need to find a place to mount an aftermarket transmission fluid cooler since the v8 swap northern radiator is only for manual transmissions and does not have a built-in transmission fluid cooler...

  The information in this video is 100% correct and resolved much confusion on this subject. My car is a 1991 5.0 with an RF-E8AE-6059-AA timing cover. If you look at the ports, it's a standard rotation cover. But I also have a serpentine belt, which means the pump is reverse rotation. The small round ports on the pump backing plate allows these to work together. IMHO the small ports have to restrict flow. My motor is bone stock so I'm not too concerned. If you're running a 347 stroker with aftermarket heads on a 5.0, I would buy a true reverse rotation timing cover and water pump with the full port backing plate.
