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

What happens here

After allowing the penetrating oil to soak, begin loosening and removing the engine mounting bolts. These are typically located on either side of the engine block, connecting it to the frame. Use a ratchet with an appropriate socket size (e.g., 9/16 inch) and a long wrench to gain leverage on stubborn bolts. If bolts are severely seized, use a breaker bar for additional torque. Proceed to remove the nuts securing the transmission crossmember to the frame, often requiring a combination of a wrench and a ratcheting wrench for tight spaces. Finally, use a large breaker bar or pipe for extra leverage if necessary to break loose the brake/clutch pedal assembly from its pivot point on the frame, as demonstrated when the presenter struggles with this particular bolt.

Goal: Detaching the engine and transmission from the chassis mounts.

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…
