I’ll have to get a board for that spot eventually, but I would like to change out the inner cables for the control valves to a steel rod so if a valve hangs up I can give it a jiggle from outside of the truck
The first start that first turn of the key is just chefs kiss satisfaction when it fires right up!
I feel very, very lucky when I look at what you and Tone can do, I am learning so much. I may never reach that level but it makes me want to try harder.
Its all just nuts and bolts, wires fuses relays switches and breakers. Trust me i am so far from an expert at wiring, i consult the more educated very frequently.
JO, I’m with you here, I only have one “+” wire and a switch on the tractor, and this already gives me “problems”, you praise me, who makes three threads and welds two bends for the exhaust, while Marcus replaces the engine and rearranges the installation, as a joke
LIKE Wayne just said- gold mine of knowlege for a v10 prospect buyer-- seem like a guy might find a deal on one that was missing a vaulve or two.with not too many miles on it.THANKS for sharing thet mechanical gold. DID they ever put that motor in a heavy half ton ram truck.
I think im the only one that could turn replacing drum brakes and axle seals into a 40 minute video oh well if it helps out one guy down the road i think it was worth it
Ditto what @Wayne said Marcus. I love watching your videos, as you explain things so very well, not only what you are doing, but the reason you are doing it that way. My hat goes off to you sir!
All of what the others said, Marcus, + interesting with all the English terms.
Also, very satisfying to watch with all the proper tools used. When I did rear brakes on the Mazda truck I managed to stretch the job out for two days - and that’s without struggeling with a camera
Great presentation job Marcus.
I like you learned and showed the two handed push whole assembly back and forth at 30 minutes. No easy swinging around the top buttress - anchor pin and a fellow did something wrong.
Ha! I had newbie assembled pop apart when I did this aggressively. Wrong assembled again.
I also love that you are showing a normal service restoration job.
Clean sure. But do NOT over obsessively overclean. Very limited, selective, lubrication at specific points only. Over-lubing again, will cause later in-service failures.
My points and your examples may seem totally unrelated to woodgasing.
Not at all. Just as Wayne Kieth’s using working examples have shown working woodgas is a very will-get-dirty, can-get gooey, clogging and binding up process.
The poor, poor Moderns with their spotless clean room types workspaces and offices experiences; raised in neat-freak homes, are lost usually adapting back to the dusts, the muds, the blood, and the sticky goo’s evolved to still must work systems.
And these must all be loose as a goose in working clearances and assembly.
Picture perfect painted drums and calipers cars are the one I pass taking ride in. Dude or Dude’ett cares more about appearances than my safety.
