A bit of engine building demo for those hesitant to take the leap

[greg g]

I have following this fellow for other content.  Pete was at an architectural firm but recently ditched his 9 to 5 to take over his family's farm.  I find his and his wife's approach to agricultur and life refreshing.  Their care of animals, and his approach to mechanical bits neceessay to farming show a broad knowledge base as well as common sense.

 

In the linked you tube post he begins reassembling the engine from his grandfather's 52 International Harvester farm truck.  I know it's an OHV  setup, but most procedures are applicable to a flat heads.

So grab another cup of coffee and sit in in his shop.  This is a two part post, the second part should be linked from there.

I watched both segments and found the process effective.  Sequence of some tasks are different as well as some of the tricks I use.

I've been watching Pete's videos for a few years and they are easy and pleasant to watch. He also enjoys restoring old tractors, has a pretty good collection in his barn. He isn't a formally trained mechanic so many of us can relate to how he does his projects.
