Working on the 1956 International S160. This will work on a large number of mechanical valve adjusters. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever ran into this, so probably uncommon. Some of the information is specific to the International engines, such as the Black Diamond, Silver Diamond and Green Diamond engines as well as those found in most Farmall and International Tractors, at least into the 60s. For international specifically, the threads are 3/8-24. The International part number for the valve adjuster is 16067DA. If you have your own way, make sure to throw it down in the comments!

Naturally you have to know your own equipment and your own land. This video is for those who are wondering if their old equipment can pull a no till. I believe most of the HP requirements are looking at the weight of a tractor. The drill is heavy, particularly once loaded, but the horsepower needs is actually quite small. I would suspect a properly equipped M could even pull this from a power standpoint, but weight seemed to be the most important element. I'd recommend at least 6,000lbs, particularly if you have adverse terrain. It does require a healthy hydraulic system to run. Also keep in mind stopping with the weight as well. At the least, I hope it will put some people's concerns to rest if they have older 60ish horsepower tractors. As always, an abundance of caution is critical and not pushing past limits. If something doesn't seem right, don't do it. Be safe out there! Find us on Rumble as well. https://rumble.com/c/c-637335

I hadn't used a no till drill until this point. I had heard of the increased hp requirements but I think that has more to do with weight of the tractor than actual horsepower needs. An M with hydraulics could probably pull it. So I made a video just so others might feel more confident. The drill is quite heavy however, so a smaller tractor would likely struggle if they don't have enough mass.

Just a brief explanation of how to convert a Farmall 560 to use powerstroke glow plugs. MAKE SURE TO USE MOTORCRAFT OR NAVISTAR GLOWPLUGS.

Repairing a damaged farmall tractor voltage regulator that had bad insulators.

Here I check the orifice screen on the regulator control valve. My hydraulics have been getting hot and this is one of the things to check. While I didn't notice it in the video, there was a considerable amount of crud that came out. It did run cooler after this but would still get hot after a few hours. Better. Next I rebuild the control valves themselves.

A look ahead to my next project. It's a 1956 international S160. It will be a trailer toter for hay, feed and such. Here is the start of this project. My apologies for the shaky cam.

Using Rustoleum Farm and Implement, I painted my Farmall 560. Rather than a restoration, I opted for a working paint job. Here is the paint: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/rust-oleum-specialty-farm-implement-gloss-international-harvester-red-1-gal?cm_vc=-10005 Here is the spray gun: https://www.harborfreight.com/64-oz-professional-hvlp-air-spray-gun-kit-62895.html Join the Farmall Group on MeWe: https://mewe.com/group/5faa04b6164d6828afe6883a You can also find me Parler @TheOldPlace

These are the top 5 most unexpectedly useful tools I've come across, wrenching on cars, trucks and tractors. Do you have a secret weapon in your tool box? Share below if you do!

A quick look at my alternator conversion and a couple electrical upgrades.

A little bit of information and frustration with the deluxe seat suspension on the Farmall 560 (and 460) tractor.

Got the 560 done more or less. Needs wiring and lots of little touches. Unfortunately I needed to bush hog, which I knew would scrape off paint. So this is likely as nice as it will look. But I chose cheaper paint so touching up won't be too costly. The rear tires are 18.4-38 and the fronts are 10.00-16.

The tires are now painted so the end result can be seen.

When I was painting rims silver for my Farmall 560, the pressure pot blew and covered my tires with silver paint. Cleaning was time intensive and not working well, so I elected to paint my tires. This is part 1. The finished product can be seen in part 2.

If you want to loose the least amount of fluid while removing your pto on a 60 series Farmall, this is an easy way to do it. Remember to chalk your wheels.
