I've been a machinist since 1989. You guys do some of the highest quality work I've seen.

[dclfarms]

I love when y’all are doing old 2 cylinders. I restore a lot of farm equipment and sure wish your shop was closer. Getting harder to find machinist around here that want to work on Ag equipment.

My grandpa still praises the model A to this day. Even tough after he had a porsche and a lamborghini tractor.

[Sly_hog]

When i was a kid My dad built a log splitter from an old hand crank 2 cylinder John Deere combine engine we got outta my uncle's field in southern Maryland. I don't remember the year of it but we honed it and put new rings and i remember it had to run with non detergent oil. I think he said it was a 16hp motor

Awesome video-I’m in process of having someone redo a John Deere A(1948) and it’s nice to see what goes on in redoing the head. Thanks

[scottvincent]

Nice equipment, good craftsmanship. Your dad taught you well!

[richardmaurer]

I always pressed out removable valve guides. I do a lot of custom one-off work and old valve guides make perfect mandrels for turning between centers . And they are a constant source of bushings and spacers.

[JohnH]

much love and respect to you and don’t change your style of how you work

[normsweet]

Ditto on the clean shop and attention to all the details. I can count on one hand the young men who know how and like their job in a machine keep up the good quality work.

[montiraruba]

[Provalone]
