Splitting a Tractor

Fawteen · Jan 22, 2020

It's always something with these dang old tractors..."8^)

DeltaRed · Jan 22, 2020

Clutch/TA on the red one? Final drive on the crawler?Need a better picture of the splitting stand.

Mr. F14, I bet the hardest part of that repair job is when you need a 1" wrench, you have to grab a 1/16". I hope u don't have fat fingers. Glad you are having fun this winter. Bill

Fawteen · Jan 22, 2020

Yup and yup! "8^)

It's 1/64th, so that scale 9/16ths wrench disappears in the blink of an eye!

Case Nutty 1660 · Jan 22, 2020

I split hundreds of those IH units to replace clutches and I-pto gears,

Adirondack case guy · Jan 22, 2020

Bill, I think he is working in 1/64th scale. He may need a magnifieng glas to find the wrenches, and heaven forbid that he drops a nut or bolt. HeHe.
Looks pretty nice there Fawteen.
I have been repairing some water damage in my cellar workshop after a well water pressure tank sprung a small leak and sprayed all over the front of the cellar. I'm now hanging a new sheetrock ceiling in the whole thing,to finish it off so no toy making so far this winter. With the celler finished off, I will have some more space to do some fun things with the toys like you are doing.----------------------------Loren

Looks like you're working in the snow! Does that indicate that all repairs get done well ahead of time, in the winter?

I've got a tractor in the shop which needs splitting. I have successfully ignored it so far.

A fun winter in Maine. Waiting for the next chapter in your mini farm.

Wheat47 · Jan 22, 2020

Now that is very cool!!! I would never have thought of that!!
Brings back some great and some not so great memories!!!
I have a little diorama I bought. I'm going to look at adding that.

Wheat47 · Jan 22, 2020

Splitting stand??? What splitting stand???
Who uses them?!?!?

47fivewindow · Jan 22, 2020

There'e even oil stains on the floor! Looks like my work, except no beer cans on the fender.lol

Fawteen · Jan 22, 2020

As soon as I can figure out how to make a 1/64th scale beer can...

dhermesc · Jan 22, 2020

When first glanced at it I thought it was a pedal tractor - as a 6 year old I had one that looked just like that - apparently die cast isn't rugged enough to stand up to a wheelies.

Hoofer B · Jan 22, 2020

oops, I did mean 1/64" wrench

Robin Hood · Jan 22, 2020

piece of brake tubing?

Fawteen · Jan 22, 2020

A beercan is what...2 or 2-1/2 inches in diameter and 6 inches tall?

In 1/64th, that works out to about .040 by .100 inches.

Fawteen · Jan 22, 2020

Believe it or not, you can actually buy 1/64th scale hand tools! Laser-etched out of a sheet of foil. Had a LOT of fun separating them without destroying them.

tomstractorsandtoys · Jan 22, 2020

Don't 9/16 wrenches disappear no matter what scale? Somewhere there is a hole with the dozens of them I have lost. Never lost a 5/8 or a 13/16 in my entire life. LOL Tom

Fawteen · Jan 22, 2020

Somewhere beyond The Outer Limits, there is an entire planet made up of nothing but 9/16ths wrenches, 10mm wrenches and odd socks.

Jegs · Jan 22, 2020

That is fantastic, very nice work. Built a model railroad (HO) a few years back with my brother and Dad on an 8X8 piece of plywood, memorable times. The Mrs. says it's like a dollhouse for boys, keep the pics coming!

glennster · Jan 22, 2020

how about using some roller bearings painted up for beer cans?

larry@stinescorner · Jan 22, 2020

very nice!!!!!

RedMF40 · Jan 22, 2020

I like the oil spots on the floor, nice touch!

SVcummins · Jan 22, 2020

I have the exact same track off my 420c for final drive work . Do you stil have some 420 final parts

SVcummins · Jan 22, 2020

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man - that?s where all the socks, wrenches , chains and ratchet straps are along with everything else that just disappears randomly
Here ya go

Bob · Jan 22, 2020

Heck, that doesn't even BEGIN to explain where lost 10MM wrenches go!

SVcummins · Jan 22, 2020

Neither can the real ones

Fawteen · Jan 23, 2020

Nope, sold the last of them yesterday (the 22nd).

Tracks, sprockets, rollers, final drives and clutches sold like hotcakes. Somewhat to my surprise, the sheet metal (which was in great condition outside of a little surface rust) took the longest to sell.

SVcummins · Jan 24, 2020

😂😂 ten mm don?t give me much trouble but 1/2 9/16 sure do

Determined · Jan 25, 2020

(quoted from post at 16:27:44 01/22/20) A beercan is what...2 or 2-1/2 inches in diameter and 6 inches tall?

In 1/64th, that works out to about .040 by .100 inches.

For your micro beer cans;

To be to scale cutting down a needle bearing out of a u-joint to the right height should be pretty close and easy to do.

Painting on the logo, now that is a different story.
