    I'm late to the party but seeing that old barn wood, I have to comment. I had a barn on my place that was built pre 1850 and it wasn't salvageable. Hand hewn beams, originally mortised and tenoned but the chimney was leaning/crumbling and there was no foundation to speak of. But much of the wood, which was all heart pine, was still solid. I couldn't save it as a barn, but I took out all the wood that was still solid and after MANY hours of metal detecting, pulling nails, cutting, planing, and sanding, I turned it into tongue and groove flooring. It's now the floor in a couple rooms in my farmhouse. So glad I repurposed it, and it looks great. I don't like to let old things die either!

    Dozer said to Tractor, "Don't send a boy to do a man's job!" Your right Matt, best part was uncovering the lettering on passenger door. I love the look of the patina on old restored vehicles, but your right again, not sure the patina on the Autocar would look good. I really enjoyed the video and look forward to next episode. And you do what you can do when you can do it as my Dad used to say regarding gravel, etc. I hope you and yours are healthy and safe and cheers from an old retired coot in Tennessee.❤️👍😷🍻✌️

    Love the door signage! I built my house nearly 30yrs ago &at same time the local concrete supplier was doing one a section plot one-over from me. Council accordance required a $3000 bond to cover any mud/muck drop on the roadway or sidewalk damage that you claimed back once you'd finished the house. Being as the only water supply was by rain water storage tank, "Mr concrete" set to fill his tanks by bringing a couple deliveries using his ole '57 AutoCar (looked very similar to the one in your vid) mixer truck which was a 6WD setup... with a fully fresh water filled mixer drum and tried cutting across the next-door empty section in winter after weeks of rain. Of course he sunk up to the axles and kept skid'n, revving like hell and clawing his way out, then making fast runs from the road to try get in near the tanks he needed to fill. Watching that poor old truck, with a huge load of water onboard going sideways into soft ground & spin'n round plowing up, slinging mud and fancy turf everywhere... wish i had a camera back then! In the end he filled the water tanks but cleanup was another story... He had to come back with load after load that he dumped out onto the street flooding it to sluice all the soil and clay away.... & then next day bring in a digger to repair the section for all the plow marks and sow some grass seed! Seeing your old tractor unit brought back these memories and yes i think on that day Mr Concrete man took waay too much risk, almost having a nasty accident but that truck held up to the punishment!

    Matt, back when I was a kid in the late 40s and early 50s, the State of New York ran AutoCar trucks with snow plows that came through our little town. They also ran AutoCar low boys and dump trucks to various project in our area. It was always a treat when one of those big AutoCars came rolling through town.

      First thing I saw... absolutely terrifying, my man. I've reared an 8N up before. My advice (take it for what you will, armchair tractor driver and all) - don't pull anything with the 3-point hitch unless you're sure it will move. If you think something is stuck - like a truck in a mudhole, or a stump, or a 60 year old dead semi - then aim the tractor at it, pull your tow strap from the semi under the tractor and tie it to the rear axle. Then go in reverse to pull it. The worst thing that can happen is that you go nowhere and spin the wheels. Instead of rotating the front axle up and over and squashing you, going in reverse will push the nose into the ground. Newton's 3rd Law.

    I agree on the satisfaction of pressure washing. No matter the outcome, it's always better. Especially when some old paint comes off. Whenever I watch any rescue videos of old cars or trucks always my first thought is "pressure wash it!" for sure! Thanks for your efforts Matt!

    In 1957 I was 12 years old, hanging around with my older brother who was a mechanic for an excavating/construction company here in BERMUDA. The company had an AUTOCAR 2 axle, iirc, powered by a Waukesha six. The truck apparently had been used by the SEEBEEs who built the airfield here in 1941 to refuel the bombers on their way to England. That's when I first remember AUTOCAR. Will follow this series closely.

    Wonderful content and ending. What was satisfying was the fact that the dirt and grime was mostly gone...down to originality. I really like the carport...deep and wide. Yeah, it needs gravel or something like that. One step at a time.

    What a tough looking beauty. I built a model 3 axle one of these as a kid and it's crazy to see so much I recognize like the diagonal opening battery boxes. Great patina too. Just couldn't decide myself whether to restore to super shiny or just clear it and stay mean.

    Watching power washing is almost as satisfying as doing it. Instant gratification.
    That patina is rich, shows the work and weather she's experienced.
    That driveway needs built up to keep the water off, i know good luck in the muck.
