it's Pete from cheap homesteading and I'm in the garage today and I'm starting
to work on the Massey 231 and we're gonna do a little bit of a show to a
great channel and it is firm all fanatic so finally I got the parts for the
Massey 231 and I have time to work on it so I'm pretty pumped about that today
we're gonna basically just clean up the block take the gasket material off get
it all cleaned up get it ready to start reassembly
okay so there you go here is the crank it's a reliance power parts the crank
was the hardest thing to find the problem is that a Massey 231 there may
be Poland and they didn't make a ton of them even though it has a Perkins motor
all the part numbers don't cross so trying to find a crank it was something
else with the same motor I couldn't exactly say that that was the exact same
crank so it limited us to where we could buy so there you go here is the new
crank I just have to move over the balancer weights up the old crank and we
are back in business so let's take a look at the pistons so let's look what
we got here reliance power parts this is the piston
good now looks a lot like it three new Pistons sub this back in here oh and
that can rot that's look these are the connecting rods look at that that is
really really nice new parts make nice job roll this back in here it in the box
well here is the bearings what do I got here
use your piston rings yeah those are piston rings and these are rod bearings
so weird every thrust bearings okay I think we are good on the other video you
saw that this bolt hole is cracked out here and I didn't think was worth scrap
in the block over the pan was destroyed so we found another pan so you're gonna
have a nice solid pan underneath it and the studs here and these bolt holes are
all intact so I think one is not gonna do much I am going to scrape off some of
this oil I hate using brake clean so we'll clean off most of it and then I'll
use brake clean right at the very end I want to get the block all cleaned up I
don't have a parts washer at home but you kind of use what you have and I only
have brake clean I he using brake clean brake clean is very bad to breathe in
it's not good so I'm gonna use the sparingly but we're gonna spray it's
just a little bit you get a rag and clean it up the best you can
I want to get the block as clean as I can
I don't want dirt getting in okay so I'm going to clean off the back any place
that has some grease and grime okay so try to flip this up clean this side I
wanted to talk about fire mole fanatic he has a pretty cool channel it's he
does a lot of different stuff he has a firm and uses fart the farm equipment he
does have yes chickens and starting chicks and all kinds of stuff like that
he does a bunch of different projects he loves to hunt so he's got like trail
camera stuff and all kinds of different things
ferm all fanatic has a international truck that he's rebuilding the motor and
she's doing a how-to video of how to do that and you know what that is awesome I
love watching that kind of stuff so he does hunting and the outdoor thing you
know what I really enjoy watching channels that just do their thing just
film what you're doing in that time and he does that
you know I used to hunt way back in the day and I used to just love it I had
great memories of going out with my dad hunting and fishing and stuff like that
so I really did enjoy doing that but now it seems like you have so much stuff to
do I don't have much chance to do it so you know I gotta make a little bit of
time and just go and do some of that stuff okay so there you go I sprayed
some brake clean I wiped it up all the big chunks are gone I can start
reassembling without having little chunks of dirt I still have to clean up
the head surface the gasket service for the timing cover and some stuff like
that but otherwise everything is looking good so there you go it's not perfect
but it's much better than it was tomorrow I'll do a little bit more of a
clean I didn't do very much tonight except clean the block take a look at
the parts make sure everything was there we weren't missing anything which is
kind of an important step because nothing worse than when you start on
something and you have to stop because you were missing a part so it's good to
clean up everything and take a look at the parts make sure everything's there
so the next video you see we're going to finish the cleaning process and we're
gonna start rebuilding the engine so that should be a little more exciting
and make sure you go take a look at Farmall fanatic he's got an awesome
channel make sure you subscribe and leave a comment so you guys have a good
