“that’s great price keeps going up” felt that love your videos

At least on the chain coupler you were not in a hog lot or cattle lot when the customer's chain coupler failed but you still got the misery of the pins. I laughed at your pulling the PTO shaft. Only 9 times, that is probably a world record for the least amount of tries. Great video. Our engine stand was the tractor frame. Cheap owner who believed that they got by without one for years so why spend the money! Thank you for the memories and the Sunday Reset. Now, go to the shop to build a jig for a series of repetitive welded art pieces. At least with metal art sculptures, one does not have to live with micrometer measurements.

Well dang. Appreciate the update Chris, goes well with coffee. But just as it was getting to the good part……..’tune in tomorrow for the continuing saga of As The 310 Turns’. 😜

Hello chris I'm fairly new to your youtube podcast, I chuckled a little when you keep saying the cost keeps going up. We use to have an automobile dealer ship the owners stik was he loved to give his cars away, but his wife would'nt let him. I know how you may feel about it keeps going up. Its good to have support!

I've got a 1750 that needs a rebuild cause it's got massive blow bye from the original owners running the original air filter from 1966! The intake ports on the head have literally dust packed in but it keeps running! I just don't want to tear into it and do a half ass rebuild and also it's tough spending money on a worn or tractor.

Chris, I have to ask, that fuel pump should already be "timed" when it was installed and both halves of the pump should turn/spin together. So, why would those timing marks be off like they were? I know more about the older "next gen" JD than I do on Oliver, only operated a few Olivers.
For the block and please correct me if I'm wrong here but, if you do new sleeves, like you really should do, you can get longer sleeves and have them cut down to length. With the measurements you were coming up with around the top rings of the sleeves, this is why I was saying, block is possibly warped. Yes, it is possible you have a cracked sleeved which is as I did state once, it's either your block, sleeve(s) and or the head itself. Glad it's not the head. By the way, those numbers should all be within just a few thousandth's of each other not like the numbers you said you were getting. Tells me, it's the block with possible combination of a cracked sleeve.
That long shaft, I'd suggest using anti-seize on that one end of it. Not only do the splines looked twisted but, from the camera, there's a lot of rust build up.
A good machine shop should still be able to save that shaft too, just grind off the splines, spray weld material, re-cut splines to the proper shaft diameter unless I'm missing something.
Honestly, it's a good thing you're doing all this work now, I've known a few fellow farmers in my area that were informed, "do this now while it's apart" but, pocket book says no. Only to have to take it back in within a few months and now spending more money the 2nd time than what it would've cost the first time.
Watching this series inventively because, honestly, I'd like to know what's causing that issue too.
Great video, thank you for sharing, cheers :)

Have you ever seen a 310 block crack between the cylinders? My 1950 t was crack between one cylinder. My guys from Waukesha agent engine said run it

[berniestueber]

I have a 1800 model with an 1850 Waukesha worked great until clutch was replaced after that the input shaft keeps chewing up plug and snap ring to the point it pushes it's self out of the hub on fly wheel. No one can tell me why it does that. Any idea?
