Your dad did a good thing introducing you to the love of saving old vehicles. Carry On young man. Be safe out there, please add seat belts, strap that windshield down or secure it, and install a good roll bar.
Fun fact. After I left the IGA and made it home the starter said “goodbye” and peacefully left this world❤. That or the fly wheel is missing some teeth I haven’t pulled the starter to find out yet😂
33:20 With those piston style accelerator pumps you've gotta let the new ones soak in some light oil to rehydrate and expand the leather seal before you install them since they are usually forced into a small cardboard ring when shipped.
Awesome video young man. The way you handled the carburetor error was a classic example of maturity. Well done. I would like to see you use some type of blocking or jack stands while you are working. A catastrophic hydraulic failure could end horribly.
The go devil engine has a hidden issue. Always check to make sure you have enough antifreeze, the engine is cast iron and they have a thin metal design in a horizontal line above the CAM and the Oil Spout. After 70 years the metal gets thinner due to corrosion / rust in the block.
It’s so refreshing to see a young man who understands the art of troubleshooting a beautiful old vehicle. I’m 70 years old and learned to do this with my father. We’d pick up old non-running trucks for $100 and get them running in no time. Back in the 60’s they were available everywhere. Keep up the great work.
When you're removing crusty old brake or fuel lines, it's best to hose the connection where the line goes into it down with penetrating oil and then gently work it back and forth. That will help keep you from twisting the metal lines and having to replace them.
Channel was suggested a few days ago. Subscribed immediately. Humor and knowhow are always a winner. Have watched all videos and will probably go back through to watch again. Great channel Braden.
I love old machines like this, the engines are fairly simple to work on having being carbureted, and is overall a good project to learn about engines and other components
These old flat fender Jeeps have all the parts available like a Model A Ford. Not sure what you want to do with it, but a full frame-off restoration is pretty simple. Or you can just clean it up and drive it.
FYI,. that dot covered in paint , above the temp gauge is I believe a high beam indicator lamp. my 47 had one . the glass was so old it had turned to purple . looks cool when lit up
The condenser’s only function in a distributor is to prevent the spark from jumping across the points when they open. When the points are closed, low-voltage is transferred to the primary side of the coil. When the points open, the primary windings of the coil collapse and energy is delivered to the secondary side of the coil, delivering your 30,000+ volts or so to the spark plugs.
I can only speak for myself, but I watch all your videos. I’m ready for you to go full time. I enjoy all of them. You are very entertaining and funny. Good luck!
Few suggestions if I may 1) Always check fluids before letting the engine run outside of testing if it will turn over. If engine turnover, replace all fluids (they're cheap compared to engines). 2) With older engines or systems that are a bit spongy, try running some "Marvel Mystery Oil" through the gas and oil systems before doing anything else. Gas is a solvent, and Marvel helps rehydrate well preserved systems. You can mix it with gas and that helps clean everything out, like seafoam, but more on the maintaining side. 3) I would not replace any parts unless absolutely needed. People who buy these things respect stock over everything, and you've seen why with how easy this was to run. Always include original parts, regardless of condition, in the sale. If you plan on keeping the vehicle, keep the original parts near it in case you decide to sell later. 4) When getting a vehicle that has been sitting awhile moving, go easy as hell until everything gets warmed up. 5)Hitting pretty much everything other than brakes with WD40 / Silicone Spray is the best way to add some life, and will help prevent breaks. Try a 24 hour soak before use. WD40 can be used on electrical connections and components, and has saved a few engines of mine. 6) Older engines metallurgy typically uses cast iron. It's more soft, and in other ways, brittle, than modern engines so you need to be extra careful using modern tools on them. 7) Angry Farmer Penetration Oil / PB Blaster & some heat will save you from stripping and ripping nuts or bolts. 8) If anything, add a little bit of oil in the gas tank to replace marvel when starting new systems. 1oz per gallon is plenty. Thank you for reading.
Braden that old glass fuel pump, you should clean it up good and place it on a shelf as a history relic, since they don't make those ones anymore. In 50 years it would be a great conversation piece. And a piece of history.
You should put a blob of grease in your left palm and use the right hand to smoosh the bearing into it. That's a way better and less messy way to pack the bearing
Nice jeep man. Aged mechanic here - I'd drop gas tank out and clean it. Fresh gas can break loose years of crud that will leave you stranded. On the missing oil filter - that's a bypass filter and was an option on engines up to the 60's. Full flow filters were few and far between up to the 60;s. Great old jeep, you will have a blast with that!
What’s up man I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years now and they have helped me fix up a c10 that I bought. You seem like a super cool dude and I think everyone would love to see a Q&A about you. Keep it up man love your videos please don’t stop!!
I smiled from start to finish of this vid, a real joy to watch. I have few ambitions in life now as I approach retirement, but the one ambition I do have is to own a wartime Jeep. Sadly in the UK they're rare and expensive, so I watched this with real envy because that jeep is exactly what I'd be looking for.
That reminds me a lot of my CJ5 and a lot of back yard mechanic work I did on my '55 Chevy. That Jeep is lucky to have gotten you as an owner. Well done, young one!
Mechanic told me one time when you loosen bleeder screws give the wrench a sharp little smack with the hammer instead of slowly pulling on them. I’ve been doing it like he told me to do it for years and it works really good.
Braden, you are happy with what you have achieved with that little Jeep, but really the happiest is himself for having fallen into your hands. !!! Greetings
🎶"Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm Jump like a *willys* in four wheel drive She's a summer love in the spring, fall, and winter She can make happy any man alive"🎶
Just came across your channel cuz I like to just see people fixing stuff…you are great! Not only mechanically but personality as well. You had me cracking up. Keep up the great videos! I’m looking forward to seeing more of them…
Young man you always find some most adventurous and most satisfying automobiles to work on I want to thank you for your channel and your hard work your dedication to your channel and to you keep on keeping on man
A good rule of thumb on floats. Hold the top upside down and make the float level with the top. To check if a float is working turn the top right side up and blow through it then turn it upside down and you shouldn't be able to blow through it.
Terry from Auz here Totally agree. Im an old dog too. I had filter after filter blocked by introduction of unleaded fuel in old landcruiser. I ended up installing a C A V filter after removing and professionly cleaning petrol tank. cheers
When I was 17 i had a 42 flat head four-cylinder Willis army jeep and the similarities with this jeep are many. I always found it funny that things that are set up to be easy to work on never need it. I never got the breaks to work correctly, but it was a 3-speed and I mostly trail roaded it. I drove that jeep every day, most of the time with the front window down. Such a fun and great time in my life.
New carburetor to be replaced the leaking and old breather carb. You need to order the barrel from 2.3 liter Ford salvage yard carburetor on sale to help the CJ-2A.
I have a 56 willys that i tinker on, but the best part is i have a shepard mix pup that looks just like youre. Mine is a boy named Willy, for obvious reasons, and he is creeping up on 3 years old now. great video, and i appreciate all the troubleshooting. new sub here for sure!

MAKE SURE GIFT CODE IS ALL CAPS
Code didn't work for me odd
@TravisRoxUmake sure it’s all caps. “BRADEN” works for me
@BradenBuildz could be because my account is not new lvl 55 😂
Hi Braden, are you sale the Jeep, if so how much would he cost!??!
As I was watching you re-grease everything, I was reminded strongly of my grandfather saying to me "Grease is cheap. Metal is expensive."
There’s no such thing as “too much grease” 😂
@somedude8913😉😂
Your dad did a good thing introducing you to the love of saving old vehicles. Carry On young man. Be safe out there, please add seat belts, strap that windshield down or secure it, and install a good roll bar.
Fun fact. After I left the IGA and made it home the starter said “goodbye” and peacefully left this world❤. That or the fly wheel is missing some teeth I haven’t pulled the starter to find out yet😂
I definitely suggest keeping the old starter..... rebuild it later.
Not sure the engine displacement, but if it's small enough you could install a rip cord. Could be a fun novelty.
I really enjoyed the vid, God bless!
I would try to keep it as original as possible
Popping the clutch start was a go-to on my 48.
“Imagine owning all this stuff.” For Braden that’s a goal not a warning.
33:20 With those piston style accelerator pumps you've gotta let the new ones soak in some light oil to rehydrate and expand the leather seal before you install them since they are usually forced into a small cardboard ring when shipped.
Thanks didn’t know that
Awesome video young man. The way you handled the carburetor error was a classic example of maturity. Well done. I would like to see you use some type of blocking or jack stands while you are working. A catastrophic hydraulic failure could end horribly.
So much knowledge in these comments! Thank you everyone!!

You do a great job of explaining exactly what you’re doing for those of us who are not mechanically inclined 😂
hey little tip for cleaning points. go into ur ole ladys makeup stuff and get one of those nail files. keep one in my harley at all times
Are you gonna do a full restoration on this jeep, it would make for a awesome series

If this is the new generation, I believe there is still hope for this world. Great video, young man! You made an old man happy here.
You are the one person who could ever encourage me to be a mechanic
Young man, You are truly impressive!
I love old machines like this, the engines are fairly simple to work on having being carbureted, and is overall a good project to learn about engines and other components
JUST FOUND YOU. LOVE WORKING ON OLD SHIT. I AM 76, BAD HEART, LOVE BEER AND WATCHING FOLKS FIX OLD ENGINES. GIT ADDER IT, COWBOY! AND ROLL TIDE!
These old flat fender Jeeps have all the parts available like a Model A Ford.
Not sure what you want to do with it, but a full frame-off restoration is pretty simple.
Or you can just clean it up and drive it.
Super cool! All you need is an M1 Carbine and you're ready to patrol the DMZ .
Glad to see a younger generation working with older vehicles! Never stop young man!

I appreciate it. Getting some stuff sorted out and might take some time but I am for sure leaving.
1:00:15 Genius turn signal hahaha. Man I'm so envious of this jeep!

Throw an extra alternator on when fixing that belt squeal and make it a welder mod jeep
For some reason the name “Braden” just fits this guy perfectly
Braden that old glass fuel pump, you should clean it up good and place it on a shelf as a history relic, since they don't make those ones anymore. In 50 years it would be a great conversation piece. And a piece of history.
Google image reverse search is my bestfriend when it comes to these projects. Awesome!
Good job on Getting The Old Jeep Running ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, Tennessee
Note to self install a winch on my trailer.
You should put a blob of grease in your left palm and use the right hand to smoosh the bearing into it. That's a way better and less messy way to pack the bearing
Comeon, it's just a grease, either way is fine. Dude.
@Rasputin-p4e I'm just suggesting an easier way to do it. I'm not dogging the guy, I've seen the way he can blow
Exactly Ghostdog !!
I like your enthusiasm! Some did not have an oil filter. I have 1 with and 1 without.
Excellent fast editing! You packed a lot into the hour. I'm amazed at how robust these Jeeps are. Built tougher than so many. Great job!
Nice jeep man. Aged mechanic here - I'd drop gas tank out and clean it. Fresh gas can break loose years of crud that will leave you stranded. On the missing oil filter - that's a bypass filter and was an option on engines up to the 60's. Full flow filters were few and far between up to the 60;s.
Great old jeep, you will have a blast with that!
Also a tip is: when applying rtv you want to keep the bead of sealant on the inside of the bolt holes, so it makes a entire seal.
C&C equipment in Nashville Indiana has EVERYTHING for that jeep
Nice to see you greese those bearings by hand
I love old military vehicles. I was stationed in Germany in the mid 80s and learned to drive a stick in an army jeep.
The old lantern fuel pump looks cool!!
11:33 backwoods tow truck?
i love southerners 😁
Gotta love the everything constantly breaking in sequential order while fixing the thing before it type of work...
27:00 That is a beautiful looking dog
What’s up man I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years now and they have helped me fix up a c10 that I bought. You seem like a super cool dude and I think everyone would love to see a Q&A about you. Keep it up man love your videos please don’t stop!!

Yes, I think it would be great to see him doing more work on the car.
Great video..these old vehicles are so easy to work on. I lift up the hood on the newer vehicles and I have no idea how all the electronic's work...
I would love to work on the old Jeeps I've been doing it for years
pretty sure spraying ether on the outside of the air filter is a great way to make a torch
That reminds me a lot of my CJ5 and a lot of back yard mechanic work I did on my '55 Chevy. That Jeep is lucky to have gotten you as an owner. Well done, young one!
Mechanic told me one time when you loosen bleeder screws give the wrench a sharp little smack with the hammer instead of slowly pulling on them. I’ve been doing it like he told me to do it for years and it works really good.
Clint over at C&C Equipment channel also sells replacement willy's sheet metal.
Seems like it time to mount a winch on your trailer.
bro i swear this guy is so underrated, he deserves way more subscribers and popularity
Can someone get Braden a 12V winch plz? And I'm not sure what type of orange juice you're drinking, but that old fuel looks like apple juice
Someone get me one while you’re ordering for Braden. That’s special orange juice, low octane.
23:30 "holy smokes its workin"
That is the best wiring job I have ever seen on a jeep.
And yiu asked at the beginning,"who owns so much stuff?" That jeep is starting to add to your lot. Good for you man👍
Nice job washing those rings off. A+
A friend used to say. Experience is a series of mistakes. So go out and make your mistakes.
Run that carb part across a flat stone. Sometimes you can flatten out the metal with a new gasket.
A stock air filter would bolt into that tab that you put the resistor on.
I learned to drive stick in one just like it back in the late 80s. Im officially jealous
Found you channel a few days ago, and have enjoyed your videos since. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge, very fun to watch.
Thanks for a beautifully entertaining video.
That JEEP was quite a find and well worth saving. 👍🏻👍🏻
15:50 dang I wanted you to test it again after you changed the coil to see if the old rotor with new coil would work .
just a simple cool video that inspires me to work on my 51 cj3a!
38:32 what's that on your fridge kinda looks sus
Braden, you are happy with what you have achieved with that little Jeep, but really the happiest is himself for having fallen into your hands. !!! Greetings
I loved this... Thanks for the trip down memory lane Bradon. You know yer in the country when yer garage is blinged out with wood paneling.

The next time you have those brakes apart the long shoe or the shoe with most brake material on it goes to the back of the vehicle, FYI😊
What an incredible time in automotive technology. The simplicity was awesome. Even into the late ‘70s
Is a pleasure to see these videos. Thank you. Great style.
Young man you always find some most adventurous and most satisfying automobiles to work on I want to thank you for your channel and your hard work your dedication to your channel and to you keep on keeping on man
Appreciate it. Thanks for all the positive comments you leave on my vids 🙏
Wow you did stop the leak in carburetor because it was install by you backwards rubber float valve includes brass.
Love the CJ. Really enjoyed watchin you fix her up.
It would be cool if you did a full restoration on it.
@49:42 - Plop some grease in a ziplock bag. Deposit bearing and squish it around. Bearing packed much cleaner.
You should have a page that tells all the tools and chemicals you use. Gloves, greases, air tools, etc…
i rag in the multicylinder always helps keep you project clean
A good rule of thumb on floats. Hold the top upside down and make the float level with the top. To check if a float is working turn the top right side up and blow through it then turn it upside down and you shouldn't be able to blow through it.
The ole double tie strap pull is so OG
Like what you do. It's much easier to fill the fuel bowl with gas than using starting fluid.
Great vid! very tight on the editing with simple straight forward information. Ownig a 47 Willys truck and a 51 CJ2 I really enjoyed it.
Get a Sonic Cleaner, Grinder/Wire Brush/Polishing Wheel and Lathe.
Terry from Auz here Totally agree. Im an old dog too. I had filter after filter blocked by introduction of unleaded fuel in old landcruiser. I ended up installing a C A V filter after removing and professionly cleaning petrol tank. cheers
Nice camera work, well done.

You're one of those Guys that Gets the Job Done.... Big Thumbs Up...
That vehicle looks like Trevor's Jeep from GTA v
I could be wrong. But I believe the bulky blue part on the crimp terminal is shrink tube.
You did a excellent job! I was watching you you did everything I would have done and then you did a little more. I enjoyed your video bro.
I have a 56 willys that i tinker on, but the best part is i have a shepard mix pup that looks just like youre. Mine is a boy named Willy, for obvious reasons, and he is creeping up on 3 years old now. great video, and i appreciate all the troubleshooting. new sub here for sure!
