Sometimes there was frost on the insides of the windows. We had a boiler and radiators for heat, and the radiators were rarely warm.

2025-01-19 19:53:36 +0000 UTCI love the old farmhouses! The house I grew up in was built in 1906. It was beautiful , but drafty and cold.

2025-01-19 19:06:19 +0000 UTCI think that Scott from CWM ties the brushes back with mechanic's wire when he's reassembling a starter.

2025-01-19 19:06:16 +0000 UTCI see no matter how old and accomplished you are Dad still back seat drives telling you how to do it.

Sammy Fender
2025-01-18 22:23:03 +0000 UTCI've taken many a starter apart trying to fix it but never succeeded. Glad to see that is indeed possible!

2025-01-18 21:31:09 +0000 UTC120 seconds in, sharing a laugh with your dad.. Choked me up... I'm 63 and my dads been gone 30yrs.. but I remember those precious dad+son moments working on broken stuff...

2025-01-18 20:47:36 +0000 UTCYou can't really kill a 40 series John Deere. Although, they did lose one in a fire on this same property.
Watch Wes Work
2025-01-18 20:47:24 +0000 UTCWe are thinking the tractor might be at just the wrong angle and water was running off the canopy right onto the starter. It also doesn't really have a drain hole like other starters I have worked on.
Watch Wes Work
2025-01-18 20:46:41 +0000 UTClot of times its condensation from sitting, lot of mass in a starter or generator to stay cold when the warm humid air gets at them, then if they don't have any way for it to drain out it just keeps building up. Got an old hein werner hoe with a 4-53 detroit, starter must weigh 100 lbs, and every couple years when we go to use the thing its full of water again.

2025-01-18 20:25:50 +0000 UTCThanks Wes, love to see you and your dad working together.

2025-01-18 20:04:37 +0000 UTCGreat video Wes. Kind of funny of your dad mentioning to rebuild the starter just to get it going. You used to be able to buy all the parts to rebuild starters and I remember buying a three diode tree? To rebuild the GM alternators. They didn't have a battery gauge just an idiot light and it's come on real dim if you're a belt was slipping or you're alternater needing attention. I can imagine you've learned a lot to things from your dad. I can't figure out how water got in the starter. Thanks Wes

2025-01-18 18:07:32 +0000 UTCYes, Rock Island. It's huge, and good at pinching fingers. But, it'll hold anything you want.

2025-01-18 18:07:26 +0000 UTCI think it needs a few dabs of silly-cone.

2025-01-18 18:05:38 +0000 UTCI didn't either. He was confident, and he was right.

2025-01-18 18:05:15 +0000 UTCI think so.

2025-01-18 18:04:16 +0000 UTCI think you're right!
Watch Wes Work
2025-01-18 18:04:10 +0000 UTCAs soon as I saw the hammer hanging on the rear fender I thought the starter would need some attention.

2025-01-18 17:28:36 +0000 UTCDad has what looks like a Reed 106 pre WW2 vise. I'm jealous. I have the baby 104 model. Still works fine for being over 100 yrs old (1922) tho. Nope saw it better view. Dad has a Rock Island. Still some good stuff
David
2025-01-18 17:24:32 +0000 UTCPretty decent shape overall. Hope y’all can negotiate a price agreeable for everyone. #1 is figure a way to keep water out of that starter in the future, aside from parking it under a cover.
