Thanks for the video Marcus.
I saw that the sawmill is made in Mariannelund which is not far away from Göran, they didn’t transport things too far back in those days and I can’t believe it has been moved since so there is a good chance that Göran knows the guy or knows of him.

After binge watching his channel, you couldn’t convince me this isn’t Gorans brother

It sure does make me want one of those engines
Edit. I thought I’d delete this post within the five minute thing, I expected the post to disappear, and edit it into my previous post to not clog too much but even doing that made this post ’deleted by author’ so I put it back here. Lesson learned though.

Haha, yes, i’ve met this guy on “Målilla motorns dag” a meeting with lots of old engines running.
He lives in Småland somewhere (my neighbor county) some 100-120 miles south of me.

They claim this is real. Too weird for me if it’s not CG. Maybe I’m not so annoyed about being old. I certainly wouldn’t fit into this world. I guess horse people said the same about Steam and IC.

China is very good at faking and making one or two look like an impressive army. Good on them. A few buckets of salt water or molasses would take care of the threat either way. This is the CCP national media company, after all.

Here is a scary one. I know we shy away from politics on this site, but this one affects DIYers. Apparently Cali and a few other states want to ban 3d printers that don’t bow down to big brother checking out your files before printing in the software, and if the printer and you have to run an approved printer with approved software, and it is illegal to install your own software on your printer.
They are doing this in the name of trying to stop people from printing gun parts.
This has implications for the DIY community because you know they wont stop there, and if one place does it, then they will just comply, for everything sold in the us or europe.

Hello Fellow woodgassers!
I don’t intend to waste your time, but I often do just that. 
It is no secret that I am a train nut, all sizes from 100% scale, to hold in one hand scale.
I found this 100% scale video so interesting and engrossing that I simply must share it. Well filmed and narrated, Shows the Great White North in a way I have never seen before. The scenery is spectacular, and the railroading is more the philosophy of the older generation, while the equipment is thoroughly modern.
The producers need more encouragement and exposure, so like the video and consider subscribing to their channel.
Hope you enjoy this!

Okay this is kind of funny. Enshitification is making things shittier on purpose. Apparently the norwegian government made a video against it, which this guy included in his video, it starts around 38s. I think most of you can relate.

Maybe I don’t need three miles of wire in my truck to tell me my tire pressure is low and I need to change my oil. Maybe I still have enough dexterity to hand crank a window shut.

Seems like a good place for the revival video of my dads track loader?

This kind of surprised me. All of the women in this video are computer generated and on my own I would have had no clue. Apparently this is 10 year old tech compared to what the powers that be have available now. Is that really you in the video Marcus? Can you be sure that any thing you see on a screen is what it pretends to be or are we so deep into the program now we can be dragged around on our digital leashes?

Depends, people of my generation the young ones we can still pick out AI in a few seconds, but we were privied to man made horrors beyond comprehension from birth day to day information overload once in a lifetime events a daily occurrence. Our brains process information at light speed if we are aware of our surroundings at all and it’s HUGELY mentally taxing.
Some bury their heads in the sand and ignore it all (most)
Some are burdened with knowledge and propaganda overdose (me)
One reason I so much enjoy POV (point of view) content is AI has yet to be able to replicate it. It’s verifiable authentic real human activity, something I CRAVE in todays world. Real. Human. Interaction. Real. Life.
This is one reason I am diving into content heavily with the new camera, to be a voice a stand out in the AI world. Something REAL.
AI itself admits 80% of the entirety of the internet is fake, scams, bot farms, AI and running amuck. Who is in control? Who allows this? What guardrails does it have if any?
These are rhetorical questions meant to provoke deep thought in real humans.
I’ll continue living life day by day looking for the bright side, knowing it will all come crashing down sooner or later.
No doom. No gloom.
I am a apocalyptimist. When it all burns I’ll still be standing here and rebuild. I ain’t here for a long time, but I’m going to wear a smile while I’m here. Old iron, engines, wrenches, guns, nature that’s my things to make me happy and not fly off the handle at things I have no control over and I’m not willing to die for no send my sons to die for.
Internet is not real life. I hate that people live like it is. We were not meant to live like this. Community, relationships, brotherhood, that’s what it’s about. Hard to come by in todays world.

I just learned about the Seebeck effect. Imagine a Stirling engine which produces electricity in lieu of mechanical energy.

Took me a while to get through the video Marcus, since I have the attention span of a goldfish now. CGI? I can’t believe you actually got that turd working. Now I am inspired. I have a MF TO35 that’s been sitting for 25 years. Really nothing broken other than the glow plugs as far as I know. I’m not really good at fighting machines and so when it quit working I changed the fluids with new filters, pulled it around a while and it still wouldn’t fire so it got stuck back with all my other abandoned machines. It you could get that dozer running surely I can get this tractor running. 4 cylinder Perkins in it so not the same as Tones machine. Of course I don’t have your skills. Totally impressed.

The skidder I’m fixing now has a Perkins in it, neat little engines I think. Glow plugs are usually easy to change and easy to test just apply 12 volt power if it sparks when you connect it’s a good glow plug if it doesn’t then it’s dead or exploded. If they are wired in series some use a copper or brass strap to jump them all together remove that to test them individually, if one is dead it can short the power to the rest down the line. Now I think about it I’ll look on the skidder tomorrow I don’t know if it had glow plugs or not but I’ll check and get them working if it does so save on either, stuff is getting expensive. Specially after I “rebuilt” the starter for it today, I’d like to give that starter an easy life if I can cause it just got everything cleaned and filed and the two broke brushes fixed with home made ones, no new parts so it’s original 1970-72 parts that I’m sure already had a bit of a hard life
Ya that was a long one so was the Jeep video, skidder video is far from done but already over an hour long and have a bronco/f250 video started that’s over 30 minutes from just day one of filming
I probably started with 40+ hours of footage on each video before editing. Probably if I had to guess 70 hours of editing into each video that’s what I do late at night and also let’s me watch myself make mistakes and helps figure out where I went wrong. For instance editing skidder video right now and realized the battery I was trying to use is definitely going to fail a load test when I check it in the morning apparently I killed it trying to start the loader and it did not recover

Here is a site with some good information as long as we are looking at restoring older machinery. Not to completely disparage some modern tech. I have a 2002 half ton chevy 5.3 that has 300,000 miles on it. Mostly rusted away but I have never gotten nearly that many miles out of an engine that wasn’t assembled by robots. However you can take any 70’s GM 350 and blueprint it and get that millage. Who has that level of skill anymore or even owns the tools? As the video’s point out, it’s all about control. I’d pay attention. Check out other video’s on the site.

after watching this… I know why why uncle told me there was no way I could drive his like 1950s era dozer. I think it was a JD. He told me there were too many levers, and foot pedals and such. lol It also sat for a while, and would have been a project to get going…
