That is so sad. It reminds me of my Dad when he died and I had to auction off his life's work. People crawling through his things. It broke my heart and cut me to the bone to see the disrespect shown towards someone's life. I realized then the world stops for no man after he dies it just keeps on turning and slowly we lose an era and a way of life.
I'm late to this party! better late than never......... This was My Power Wagon,I Sold it to Mr. Schmitt back in 1983 for $700 dollars.
He came to my station in Hazelton ND after answering an add I posted in deals on wheels magazine. It was purchased new here in 1948 by a farmer. He actually plowed with it! The next owner was my wifes step grandpa, then the Standard oil dealer bought it for the gas station wrecker which came with the service station when I bought the business.
It had a top speed of 48mph, with tire chains it was damn near unstoppable.
Great story.
Man, when these old relics are gone they are gone. No more on east coast hardly. The rate they are being ‘harvested’ there is amazing. This is historical footage you are creating.
Sad to see things like this come to an end probably was a thriving little shop back in its hay day 40/50 years ago life probably was good and lot more simple .
That's always the bummer of filming an estate. It's regrettable that all of the stories are lost. I listen to the remaining items to tell the stories.
Wow Man the POWER WAGON is Unbelievable, always liked them, & the UNIMOGS had a 1963 404S AWESOME TRUCK 2 😀👊👍✌🇺🇸
that power wagon is cool
Those bits in the little tin can with the small wrench are spot weld hole cutters (mini hole saws) commercially know now as Rotobroach a company in Illinois still makes them as sets.
It’s wet slippery road conditions and normal dry road conditions, it puts air to the front axle the rearend , nice thanks , that ol wrench kinda is neat , thanks BigAl California
You know, that Dodge Power Wagon tow truck looks almost exactly like the one that was use in the movie "IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, WORLD!" Johnathan Winters was the Charactor who drove the tow truck back in the 1960'S.
A rare classic.
Wow! I watched all that to see what the power wagon went for!? What a let down
yeah I was thinking I didn't hear the price except, yeah, he paid up. serious clickbait bull that got me to unsubscribe!!!
The dry road/slippery road switch @17:45 is the front brake limiter.
kinda like the truck tractor protection normal - emergency switch @ 4:10, eh ?
@@carmineredd1198 The truck/tractor protection switch applied the trailer brakes in the emergency position. That was way before spring brakes. You could use it for a parking brake as long as the engine was running to keep air pressure built up. If the air leaked off you had no brakes.
@@elvinferrell7266 thank you
My grandpa worked in the oil fields. He had a drilling rig mounted on a 47 international. Back in the 60s. Still have black and White pictures of it. On the job.
how much did the power wagon go for?
The star of the show is got me to watch. I collect and restore Power Wagons in the condition this truck is in depending on the engine turning over and the trans and transfer case there is going to be some labor involved in getting it moving under its own power. What is generally assumed (by my experience anyway) is depending how long it sat without moving I have see where the differentials need all new bearing and not at all surprised if the ring and pinions are pitted or at least half of them. The trans and transfer case will need all new bearings and seals I am sure that engine has not had an easy life so your looking at an overhaul there and of course the clutch also. Full brakes including the master and all 4 wheel cylinders. The fuel lines and brake lines where all steel so your going to have rust both inside and out, deal with as fits. Get rid of that wrecker assembly in the bed, some folks think that might add value but it does nothing but hurt the value when it comes time to sell. If the crap in the back was gone, the engine was running and the truck able to move under its own power and stop to some degree and it was cleaned up as good as possible the truck was worth around 7500.00 IF these things were done. Just the way it was sitting there with all the unknowns and there are a LOT of them the truck was worth maybe 4500.00! Omy does it need a lot of work. I am doing a 50 Power wagon right now and it had only 18K original miles but it sat and sat and sat I will have a fair bit of money and LOTS of time into this one since I stripped it to a bare frame and virtually everything will be brand new the frame and entire drive train in powder coater diffs all new along with the trans and transfer case fully rebuilt I went all stainless steel brake lines and fuel lines when this truck is done I will be asking around $115,000 and it should sell without much trouble at all!
Right. Unless a vehicle has some unique history, celebrity ownership, or is a family heirloom, restoration cost often exceeds the value. Fortunately, the returns we get are more than monetary. Preserving history, teaching young people mechanical skills, and meeting collectors who share the passion, are all benefits restoration can bring!
@@mr.goodpliers6988 You are very correct in everything your saying if this truck has that special significance and is a piece of their personal history I certainly wish them the best and I hope they are able to preserve it and in the process teach some valuable life lessons in the process!!
Lots of nice old iron there!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
I suspect the first large International you showed was made during WWII when chrome trim wasn't used.
You got the "Darlin of the Dance"!!
this switch on dash in fender missing kb was a power divider for rear end axles. Mack had plate in dash that read dry road or wet road
Man I'd love to find a original power wagon probably the greatest pickup of all time with the exception of the Toyota hilux maybe
I would love to be out just so I can touch those classics...
You and me both!
Those old power wagons were like rolling tanks. My uncle still has a 48 power wagon with a flatbed.
Military design for civilian use!!
@@mr.goodpliers6988 one thing I forgot to mention is his dad bought it brand new in 48 and it still runs and drives to this day. Last I knew the only thing wrong with it mechanically is it doesn't have any brakes lol . But the only thing he uses it for is to keep his huge AC/DC welder up off the ground.
Cool video 😎
Gee did I miss the power wagon sale price? Some very nice old iron. Thanks for the share.
I to will have to down vote you as you never reveled the price of the star of the show. Having had a few of those I was really wanting to know what it went for.
Cool wagon.
I'm betting the intertubes are the old red rubber ,real rubber !
The white International Harvester truck at 17.07 is a keeper. Wonder what year model it is. That was a busy auction, thanks for sharing.
Got me again. I had a 57 Power Wagon. Helluva truck. They used real steel back then.
Truck Tractor Protection is for the brakes.
I drove some old semis older than me. On these really old trucks they believed that having all axles braking on downhills or in bad weather, could induce skids. So that switch is likely a steer be axle disconnect, to prevent inducing a steer axle skid.
I like the Lubrite oil can.
Love the show
Thanks for stopping by Mr. Goodpliers!
Truck Tractor Protection, was a front brake limiter, so that the steer axle would not lock up, during emergency brake applications. In "Truck", the driver had full steer axle brakes. In Tractor the pressure was reduced, so trailer did more of the stopping
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I once owned a R 190 . thats exactly what that switch was it reduced to air pressure on the front brakes so they would not lock up.
Did you see the tree growing next to the Power Wagon @ 5:14? That truck can't have been moved since that tree started growing. I don't know how fast trees grow in Kansas, but that hardwood tree [an oak, maybe] would take 25-30 years to grow that big where I live.
What did the power wagon go for?
Sad to see things like this he probably loved what he did in his hay days of business. the years just flew by and b4 he knew it life was over only thing left of him is what you see all things have to come to an end tho..
I was wondering how far you guys were towing the power wagon! Then I saw the trailer! Nice can collection!
Thanks! That was the most fun I've had at a sale without buying much of anything
Power wagon was incredible, what did it go for...
Love the oddball stuff, mainly Studebaker, International...
i know im randomly asking but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Gianni Alfredo Instablaster ;)
@Stephen Kelvin i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Stephen Kelvin It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Gianni Alfredo No problem =)
Got 2 hospital tables I mounted my drill press on , my mom and dad both worked there in time so did I
What a fun day, I love seeing old places like this. Always something lost when it's an estate, wish it would be possible to get to talk to the owner and hear his stories!
Cool.
When was the last time someone worked in that shop? It looked like it was let go a long time ago.
Every truck I have driven with a truck/tractor protector switch locked the trailer brakes in the emergency position. There were no spring brakes in those days. The emergency brake on the tractor was a drum on the output shaft on the transmission which would not hold the truck on a slope. The trailer emergency brake only worked when you had aid pressure, so be careful to chock the wheels if parked on a slope and the engine not running. The only truck I have driven with a front brake limiter had a simple push/pull that shut off air to the front brakes.
This is an awesome channel. Keep up the great work.
Welcome to Mr. Goodpliers! Thanks for sharing the love!
I think that switch on the international r 190 is a switch to cut off the front brakes on rainy days
That’s what it looks like brockways also had them
very orderly garage !
There were some heavy duty iron work horses at that auction. Keep an eye out for a 1929 Dodge hub caps for me !
looks like an old jake brake switch
The truck in the streets, crazy. 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome wrecker, in the lot there were at least 2 other trucks, could have served, as parts car.
Wish I hadn't missed that one.
Nothing went really cheap. I think only one truck stayed under $1000
Love the Junk!!!Junk is life!
I feel blessed to have access to all of these places, and it is neat that you guys like it too. I'd go out and do this for my own entertainment, but sharing it with you guys makes it all the better!
Mr. Goodpliers I started picking up metal and I kept more stuff than I got rid of..love the real Craftsmanship and style of old stuff.
Cool stuff. Love the Powerwagon wrecker. What did it sell for?
I think that emergency switch is a live axle lock .
Hope you tell us what the power wagon went for
What did the Power Wagon bring? Was it between 5 and 10 K?..
do you have anymore videos about the work being done on the ower wagon, i would love to see the work on it thanks
A friend of mine bought it. He is about 150 miles from me, so I don't get many chances to get up that way. I would like to pick up some cars at a property near there this summer, I will try to check in on him and see the progress!
Curious to know what the winning bid was, so we know what we're looking at
"I could Fred Flintstone it" 😂
I'll have to remember that if my brakes ever go out LOL
Hey friend, how's that Dodge Power Wagon coming? I do hope good. Had ya done anything to it since we've last spoke? I'm the one that spoke to ya awhile back about the to long of that tow strap. Lol.
I would love to have the power wagon tow truck
What was in the VW box?
What will happen to all the misc. In his shop? Will most go to scrap?
Around these parts they auction it right down to the dust on the floor. That shop would be stone empty after loadout. I sure liked the R190 with the Cummins, too bad no title though.
dry road/slippery road. Slippery road setting locks out front brakes so the truck won't jack knife !!!!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
How much was the power wagon go for I'm dying you never told the price.
was 10k ????
To get stopped from being towed, all you had to do is pull on the ebrake handle.
Next time you have to tow a vehicle with no brakes,try using a length of chain inside a pipe in between the two vehicles. That way the lead vehicle can use it's brakes and all you need to do is steer.
Never did hear what Power Wrecker went for ?
THAT WORKSHOP WAS A NASTY FILTHY NIGHTMARE.
It's perfect.
That is a air brake switch .
Looks like they bought some war surplus power wagons.
Would it have hurt anyone to give the price sold for the Power Wagon. You built it up so much and it fell flat.
My guess is 4k on the wrecker. Not much more. Then again maybe 500. We will never know.
Turns front brakes off for slippery road
I am also in Kansas. Are you open to selling that wrecker power wagon?
Thanks for your interest. A friend of mine bought it, and plans to keep it as far as I know. That's kind of why I didn't include the selling price in the video, although I will say there was strong interest in it and it sold around market price. I just helped him load it on his trailer in the video.
Would you pass my contact info on to your friend? Let him know id be interested.
Also I need a cab. I saw at that sale there where some extra parts. Did your buddy get them?
My email is a.w.rogers02@gmail.com
halloo >>> How much do you want for Power Wagon ?
Probably..P.t.O. power take off ..for winch..
Bom dia! Pra mim é uma honra viu prestigiar seu trabalho, vamos sempre juntos somar e fortalecer nossos objetivos, Conto com você, eu já estou por aqui..
What's up
You said you were gonna tell us what the dodge brought
Air parking brakr
Hi
Hi there Ryan, thanks for stopping by Mr. Goodpliers!
That is a brake lock
Cabinet! that a mobile bondo bench. just saying
Didn't say what dodge went for
Sair you forum plyz
What good is your coverage if you do not tell the viewer what the stuff sells for. why did'nt you let us know how much the tow truck sold for?
The truck tractor protection switch currency air to the trailer brakes when it's in the normal position when it's in the emergency position no air goes to the trailer
Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate your knowledge!
@@mr.goodpliers6988 you're welcome I don't understand the part I put in there about currency I must have meant to say that it sends air to the trailer anyway you translated it successfully
Coo l
This is the last of your videos I watch. You hyped up the power wagon and everyone wanted to see it sell and then you sped over it and... whatever...goodbye...
more on dodge power wagon what happen no price nice leave everyone hanging sir i give ya and D yo have failed
Haha yeah it was bought by a friend of mine so I left the selling price out to avoid getting myself in trouble. He had to pay all of market price to get it... wasn't a $1500 truck LOL. He plans to keep it and get it running as far as I know
Hint: 99% of everything back then was two wheel drive.
@@xmo552 Not if it said "Power Wagon" on the hood.... those birds were the ushers of 4 wheel drive into the world back then.
@@patrickwayne3701
Agreed
Wtf $$$$
b by
I have to give you a thumbs down for not disclosing the sale price of the power wagon.
Way to much slop in that strap. Not good.
We wanted to keep as much distance from the tow vehicle as possible, since the old truck had no brakes.
@@mr.goodpliers6988 That I understand. Ive seen where people make turns with such a long tow strap. And while one is on the highway and one still at the T' to be pulled out onto the highway. Some goober usually winds up T' boning the tow strap in between the two vehicles. I'm sure half that strap would of worked out to keep from the cool WWll power wagon hitting that nice white truck of youres. Im not saying that any of you aren't experienced in towing. My point was that the strap was just seemed a bit longggg. Lol. Good luck with the DW you bought. Alot of us 4x4ers out would love to have it. But as far as me being a 4x4er. I think I would of restored it.
@@mr.goodpliers6988 So Mr. Goodpliers,,, the incredibly anti American algorithms of RUclips finally suggested your Power Wagon and Binder auction to me. I watched with much boyish enjoyment as I used to be blessed with a couple of old mechanics in my neighborhood, who were the engine men for our local hydroplane, Miss Madison.
Their shop, was part and parcel like the properties in this video. Complete Menageries of mechanical engineering of all types. Absolute Heaven to a young boy who was physically and emotionally abused by a hateful and cold stepmother in his elementary school years.
Walking to school and getting to see the giant mahogany hull of Miss Madison take shape and color was something I couldn't have imagined, except to absorb it realtime, sometimes daily, on the walk to and from school.
That yard, with those old Power Wagons, and International 'Binders' just sitting around like silent testimony, to men who tended to wear striped engineer caps, coveralls, and have a red shop rag hanging out of their back pocket, I was so happy to watch along with you.
Now, everyone has moved on from those times, and what passes for mechanics and craftsmen today are jackasses like Richard Rawlings going on TV and buying an old ford truck for 400 bucks and cleaning it up and whining to the SUCKER he's moving it to, that "Oh, he's got SO MUCH MONEY tied up in it,,, he's just taking a terrible loss to sell it for 10 grand.
Charlatan.
Old guys who drilled wells, welded engine cradles, and bored and honed cylinder jugs for War Plane engines to go boat racing on the weekends, are part of the fabric that made this country what it would become.
The Light of Liberty, for the entire WORLD.
Thanks ESPECIALLY for the slow scan you did at 'The Wall of Wisdom' those assorted bits of knowledge and frustration were posted where you could read and be entertained while your estimate was written or your bill was figured up.
Really good to see such pieces of Americana. Those old guys got dirty and sweated allot, for others to be able to have running water, electricity and finely crafted homes, and so much more. That row of glass pickle jars screwed to the bottom of the workbench ABSOLUTELY transported me to my Granddads workbench in the basement of their old house in North Vernon Indiana. I miss them terribly, my Grandfathers and their friends.
Contrary to what these hateful reporters on the mainstream media say about them,,, they worked hard, looked out for their neighbors and went to fight in foreign wars and came back to build businesses and engines and families and communities.
They were loving, caring people. So when someone with purple hair and a canister of bear spray is setting fire to my flag in the street and yelling that other white people are the problem...... it's those older people who I remember, that taught me to have pity and compassion for challenged folks like that.
Those old trucks reminded me of all these lessons.
Thanks Again......
