WILLYS JEEP RESCUE: Engine Pull with John Deere Farm Tractor!! Just a good time!

Kassar witness in this episode of Stoney Ridge former we do that don't do that at home kids whoo hey there folks this is Josh Stoney Ridge farmer welcome back to the farm we are going to be working on popcorn the Willis Jeep this video has been long and coming it's been two weeks since we've done a jeep video we've been so busy out here on the farm if you look you'll see why we've been so busy things are greening up things are getting pretty there's a hundred dollar truck there's the shirt come along today as we pull the engine on popcorn the Willis so that we can clean up the frame in a future video and get this thing restored put back together and drive it all over the farm alright wait so first things first let's talk about our game plan we've soaked everything down with my good old buddy PB Blaster thanks again to PB blaster company for sending out some PB Blaster for the Jeep project here we have the engine to pull we have two mounts in the front and I believe three bolts to undo in the back I'm not sure if I've got to take the pan off of the bottom of the transmission there's like a protective pan underneath there or guard and I've got a cool tool a subscriber sent me this it's really interesting it is it screws into the spark plug hole so in other words this engine doesn't have a place to bolt anything to it to pull the engine out so this little nifty job is for pulling the engine on a Willy's chief pretty awesome so we'll screw that into the spark plug hole we got the chain on the tractor right here so the chain is on the pallet forks we've got a little short piece of chain down here and once we pull the engine we're going to set it on some old tires on a pallet that's a heavy duty pallet that the compressor came in and we're going to put the pallet on rollers and we'll tuck it back here in the shot and that's the plan that's what we're gonna do I hope fingers crossed so the sun's going down here in good old Appalachia this is the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and I am not sure that this is going to be the same size as the sparkplug I have my fingers crossed so first things first we're gonna pull the rear spark plug I think this is called the number four spark plug it's rusty that's not cool you got going on down in here what's going on down here bud it almost looks like it has rust on it but it's not rust it's just crusty old nasty stuff so I don't think this is gonna work my plan has been changed check it out this is what we're going to use to put in a spark plug hole and this is the size of the spark plug so this guy this will not work dang I hate that thanks to the viewer that sent it out to me hmm that's a bummer so we're gonna have to rethink this I was gonna pull it with the chain but I think we may just do a strap around the bottom I don't know I don't know how heavy this engine is the most recent engine I pulled was back in the 1990s so it's been 20-plus years since I pulled an engine so this should be pretty fun two motor mounts they should come apart pretty quick I'll show you what the motor mounts look like and that's one of the reasons we're pulling this because the motor mounts are absolutely shot they are totally trashed we've got to mount back here with the transmission want to get a camera and show you the attachment points real quick coming out the front of the engine we have a motor mount attachment point here and you can see that one's not too bad will go on the other side here and we have all of our goodies we have another motor mount attachment right here and that is absolutely just garbage so we attach here now this mount for the transmission in crankcase area that seems pretty good I do believe there is one more down here and then one right over here on the other side we got to loosen this up right here this is the clutch actuator cable all this stuff is pretty cool it's mechanical so watch me mash the clutch in that's pretty cool all mechanical really cool stuff I think it's pretty neat to see how this thing all comes together how it all works I think it's really cool I probably could take a bolt out of the head but I don't want to take a head bolt out it doesn't seem very bright it seems like it might release pressure on the head and then cause me more problems by picking it up that way so we'll see we'll formulate another plan let me get these sunglasses off the Sun is starting to set guys we might be working out here into the lights in just a few minutes I think we should start with the easiest thing first oh it's not easy this is a three quarter inch bolt holding the motor mount and I was like sure it's not gonna fit it'll fit on the other side though we're gonna go get a ratcheting wrench and put on there take two ratcheting wrench ratcheting wrench won't fit all right the old manual way is the way come on baby there we go soaking in PB Blaster really helped it overnight man just loosen that like two turns and I can just turn it off with my finger did not expect well spoke too soon not to say I didn't expect that you'll set all these bolts to the side in a good place that's safe in a little magnetic container and we'll put them back in the right place when we get done here the good thing about doing a video covering everything that I'm doing here is that I can look back and remember oh that's how I took that apart it's pretty cool this whole farm vlog series is pretty awesome that I can look back and see what the farm looked like two years ago two and a half years ago this place has changed so much this motor mount here is totally screwed down and dirty right here this is the most difficult one to get to it's a 9/16 and hopefully all the soaking I did yeah baby did me some good this thing basically was soaked in grease for the last 50 years so all the nuts and bolts it really I've come undone really easy pretty happy with that awesome guys if you don't have a set of ratcheting type wrenches pick one up I'll post a link in the video description this is a craftsman brand I like craftsman stuff life's good guys don't hesitate to leave ments down there in the video description if you see something that looks offered you see something funny let me know we're all in this together right now this whole build oh yeah she's coming off nice there we go awesome look that ain't gonna work we got underneath here another cool handy tool that I'm going to be using is a pair of adjustable wrench vise grips so you tighten this down on your nut and it won't slip off makes it very efficient very handy all the tools that I show in the videos most of the time are linked down in the video description just one of the many ways that US youtubers can share with you alright this is the mount right here on the side I guess this is the transfer case this is a transmission transfer case engine bellhousing while we've got this out we'll probably research and get a new clutch for it might be a smart move you guys thinks we've got a pipe in our new compressor before we start using our sand blaster so hopefully once we get that all piped in we can get to using our sand blaster and we can take these little parts and clean them up that's what that looks like so this is what holds the transfer case and it's a bolt with a little rubber grommet and believe it or not from 1952 rubber still pliable and nice there is a tricky one over on this side there's a cable that goes from the crossmember for the transmission to the bell housing that's gonna be our only little trickster if you guys missed in the last video and we decided what kind of products we're going to be using on the frame here we're going to be using all Eastwood products rust encapsulator sound detonator all sorts of fun stuff we've talked with the Eastwood company and they're willing to help us out a little bit hopefully we can get you guys some good discounts to Eastwood products and do some good giveaways for Eastwood products here in the future on the farm vlog that'll be awesome we are not gonna powder coat this frame and I am not gonna take it and have it sandblasted this is going to be a farm Jeep this is going to be a fun Jeep I'm not gonna make it a trailer Queen I'm gonna make it something fun and usable that we can go get up firewood and do all kinds of fun stuff scoot around the farm on it hopefully one day we'll have us a nice farm day where people can come out and we'll go for rides on the Jeep that'll be awesome big hands and mechanical work don't go together so good I wear a size 16 wedding ring Oh sausage fingers according to my calculations the engine and transmission should be free with the exception of where this clutch hooks up sometimes in life we have that aha moment aha I didn't take the exhaust loose got to do that we've got an entire new exhaust system for this thing so I think we're just gonna cut it off real quick here we go baby come on you don't like that do you like us to pitch get it from the other side here nice which things were built this simply now they're just not this simple anymore all there is holding the clutch mechanism in place is just a little Cotter key awesome and I can't get it without a pair of pliers there we go little Cotter key out we go knock that little fella loose maybe come on don't fight me on this that's a candidate for the sandblast cabinet right there little buddy come on little buddy you can do it there we go cool put that all back together so we remember where it goes hardest part about this was getting in here and getting this cable which I have no idea what it goes to check it out it goes to the engine block and hits a cable right here with a nut on this end and a nut right here you guys know what that is if you're Willys Jeep experts or Willis Jeep experts let me know and here's the clutch cable my calculations are correct we should be good to go to remove this engine if my calculations are correct so when I take big Bubba here at the pry bar and see if she'll if she's loose yeah this side appears to be loose yeah it almost seems too simple good there good there it's free ready to go beautiful sunset let's get the tractor we're gonna pull the pallet forks over top of this and we're gonna figure out a way we can run a big ratchet strap around and hook to the pallet forks guys this is the part of the video where you told me you don't need a cherry picker just use your track of it I thought man that sounds dangerous here we go I just so happened to pick up brand new ratchet straps the other day to put on our gooseneck trailer perfect first use for these things get it wrapped around here without wrapping it around something that we don't want to pull FYI this is not the right way to do things guys this is not the right way to remove an engine from a vehicle those Forks are gonna fall down on that tractor and crush you no they're not we're cool same guy that made the Rubik's Cube invented these ratchet straps all right pain in the butt can my own ratchet strap don't fail me now I did pick up the world's longest ratchet straps you just keep going and going okay he's gonna be heavy it's pulling the forks down on the tractor we're going to fire the tractor back up latest things heavy it's just about picking up the entire Jeep we need to back off on my rear strap a little bit here take your back of Klinker - all right so we don't want it to slide off this way so we've got to take and tilt our bucket up as we tilt our bucket up we still have one bolt down here that needs to be removed so we're going to tilt it back a little bit and try and remove that bolt is removed but it's still trying to pick up the entire rear of the Jeep it's not going to work it's not gonna work we've neglected two parts we need to take the u-joints a loose from the back of the transfer case in the front of the transfer case I think that's what our problem is let go this is me wishing that all modern cars were as simple to work on is this old Jeep instead of struggling with this I just jacked it up so I could what in the world so I could just rotate it around and make life easy I was gonna have to struggle to get that last bolt off but now I don't awesome u-joint number one removed so the front u-bolt should just come right out same way long is it it will hold still should just come right out there's just four bolts holding these in place very simple and they're all soaked in grease and have been soaked in grease for a very very long time big crowbar out here and hold everything in place and rock and roll there is a bad seal on the front of this transfer case and it's leaking out some milky gross Ness right now it's leaking out water not good not cool oh yeah there's a pan underneath here already because I knew it was dripping but it's dripping water there's a nut and a washer and a little.you bolt that holds this together this is what the u-bolt looks like that holds the u-joint in place pretty cool there's two of these but only one of them will come off yeah Bubba did it go Bubba go ooh so there was question as to whether we were going to replace these u-joints yeah that one fell apart pretty quick tired dirty Suns going down and I can't think of any better backdrop than that right there let's get that engine out so let me show you what we've got prepared we're here we've got a small oak heavy-duty pallet and a tire we're gonna set that engine crankcase and transmission right down on there and it's sitting on the rollers that the Jeep was originally on if you guys didn't see these go jack rollers I'll post a link in the video description that's why we got them because we knew what we're gonna have to use these rollers to roll other things around cool let's get this engine out contact so we got the engine up in the air but there are two things that we forgot to address one was a fuel line but the fuel lines are already loose anyway we'll tuck this guy there pretty brittle garbage and the other thing that we forgot was the emergency brake cable so we've got to bring it back down and release that emergency brake cable I'll show you real quick so this is the fluid the water and oil that's leaking out and this is that emergency brake cable basically that removes with just a flat tip screwdriver we go engine is out higher there we go get her out of here it's not too bad it's not too dirty it doesn't leak a drop of oil which is super cool man so we'll clean this up soak it down with some super clean we're repainting with engine enamel paint fix it all up if you guys have any suggestions for engine paint for this thing let me know and we'll reinstall it back on here once we get the new motor mounts let's take a quick look at that old motor mount let me grab it real quick that is the old motor mount yeah nice thing while we pulled it guys I hope you enjoyed this little video today I'm so glad to be back working on popcorn the Willis Jeep things
