I never get tired of seeing old Harley Davidson's brought back to life....
"Transmission officially reversed" Love it. This is like watching a couple top notch doctors or surgeons working the ER on a Friday night.
Looks like a keeper to me. I've had some 45's. Still have some WL parts
Ya and get rid of the sun glasses every frame you putting back on your noggin.
That is not a junk pile that's a well sheltered stash
We can now confidently say, once Dale and Chris get an old Harley running, someone finds their lost 10mm socket. Lol.
I'm not a Harley guy necessarily but I love your passion for the brand. I feel like I'm learning something every time I watch your videos..not just start and rebuild/repair but a great history lesson. Keep up the wonderful work!
I'm 72 yearz Young, still kicking, Hardcore will Never die❤🎉😮
OUTSTANDING! Ive been a mechanic for 40 years, now retired. This is the first time I have ever seen a 10mm anything was found. I always assumed all the 10mm were taken off world by aliens , amazing !
I have one that keeps reappearing in my front pocket.
I would kill to work at the museum for days like this!
Dito
There's years worth of work in that one trailer, incredible !
The passion and enthusiasm coupled with the encyclopedic knowledge is truly a joy to watch. And you do your best to share that knowledge, which is an invaluable thing.
Nice job Matt and Chris! She's a keeper!
Definitely A KEEPER !!!
Hope you are going to be there tomorrow when the BADGERS are there... Bad weather...I'll be coming up in the jeep
See you then!
Love the video, absolutely a pure honor to watch you guys bring these old war dogs back to life. Just a testament of how good those things were made. Incredible
I just gotta say that Dale is smiling down on your whole crew ! Having met Dale on my visit at Wheels Thru Time, I have to say that he would be so very proud of you guys. Thanks so much for carrying on with his mission, a mission that is so very important to future motorcyclist of the world. I just attended my 45th year at Laconia, here in my home state . Thanks for all that you do..RIDE ON FRIENDS..
It’s fun to watch Matt get excited about saving another piece of history
I needed friends like you guys when I was a kid . oh how I would love to look at a bike and know what was what and have a friend or two to share it with . Appreciate what you got and cherish what you have .
Nothing built today will start in 80 years. Great video !
I LOVE Chris's "cuffed" blue jeans... A throwback to the 40s and 50s.....
I've been wearing cuffedjeans since 1970's and i was born in the 1960's lol
Next raffle bike. Dust and all!!!!!
There'll be no dust after a shakedown.
Whenever you and Chris are bringing an old relic back to life, it reminds me of the time i was re-building my old '47EL. I bled sweated and cried over every little (and large!) part I hunted down to get as close to factory stock as possible! The bike and I became one! I can't tell you how much I loved that beast! ❤
They are all keepers, this era of motorcycles was amazing i wish i could get one myself. Keep up with all the good saves!!
What are the chances ANYBODY else would just happen to have a 47 trans laying around?
Me and the better half love Wheels Through Time. We rode a sportster 400 mi from West Tennessee to Maggie Valley to see it and it did not dissapoint it is incredible to see so much mind boggling stuff in one place and we even got to meet Chris who is a really nice down to earth guy maybe we get to meet Matt next time
See you next time!!
Man I love watching Matt and Chris working. It's so fluid. Definitely professional high class craftsmanship. Cheers guys from Australia 🇦🇺
That transmission is fixable. You need flux (20 mule team borax), an oxy/ace number 2 welding tip, and a pure aluminum bar. You can use pipe fitting flux paste if you want to prep the surface, but as a bladesmith I prefer borax. Put the flux on your surface and heat it with the torch till it melts the flux. Then build up your surface with the aluminum rod. After it is built up you can sculpt it with a flat grinder in a dye grinder the drill and tap it. Don't give up on that gem. I have tigged those cases back together from a complete split and rode them for years before someone offered me more than I liked the bike. The repair I described my dad was taught to do in the army on messenger bikes during Vietnam. I've used it building lowrider cars and restoring old Indian motorcycles. Did it two years ago to repair an engine mount on a yamaha xj650 chopper I built from a box of parts. It can be done. Just a little practice on some scrap metal to develope your touch on the torch. I mean you are already planning to scrap it what will it hurt for you to try. If you are gonna bring old bikes back why not learn the old skills to go with it. Honestly if had the means I would gladly be on my way to show you.
How cool to get a whole barn collection of history and play , keep the new clean , love the patina / rust /dust
Love watching you and Chris bringing these old bikes to life. Can’t wait for my first visit to the museum later this month. Hope to meet you.
Incredible how Matt & Chris are able to get these bikes running in no time. Loved the museum and can't wait to visit again in the fall.
I'm almost 70 have had many Harley's over the years. Due to health can't ride anymore...BUT THIS IS THE COOLEST BIKE I"VE EVER SEEN !!!
Love the enthusiasm of exploring this bike for the first time. What a haul of vintage Harley parts and no better place for them to go. Thanks for the video Matt and Chris!
Excited to watch your videos! Mr. Dale would be proud!
Good morning 🌅, great job guys, France. I am in my 70s , your bike reminds me when I was 16/7, I passed my test when I was 17 , I had Norton and one especially Norton dominator , it was crusty like your bike , I stripped it and rebuilt it but I turned into a chopper , Got back into bakes in the early 90s until 2019 , when I sold everything, and just recently purchased a 2003 Deuce, it was crusty. It wouldn’t run
properly, just spent the last 3 weeks rebuilding, primer and part of the gearbox, carb , ignition system, all running, ready for a test,
It is great being back on 2 wheels,
I especially enjoyed watching Matt working on this motorcycle.
This guy is so talented. It boggles my mind. Amazing
Great to see the bike come back to life and the reactions of the passionate collectors... Reminds me of when things were simpler and built to last or be repaired--not just throw away, plastic computers on wheels.
It's always a pleasure to see you resurrect these glorious bikes... the color is beautiful too... years ago I painted my 2005 Sportster carb. of a very similar color!
A lot of people think it’s cool, it is cool. It’s an honor to get this old Harley Davidson running again.
Y'know, it was choppers that first got me interested in motorcycles, but ever since i started watching this channel more frequently I've been falling in love with these WLs! Can't get enough of these or the board track racers. Thanks for broadening my horizons. Hope i can make it out and see the museum someday, but these vids and the online gift shop will have to do for now haha. I repped a dales harley shirt last time i worked the pomona auto swap.
Love your energy and knowledge that your bring to your channel.
I love videos like this where you take junk and turn it into gold!
More history saved, thank you. Love to watch you do your thing.
Watching Masters at work is truly a pleasure... I'm going with 5 kicks
The most fascinating days of my early bike-wrenching years was when Bernie Guindon (the national President of Satan's Choice MC) sent me into his trailer of bike parts to find a Star Hub to fix a friend's bike that had mangled a bearing. I sorted through 16' of old motorcycle parts before finding the piece, but I found it. I was 19, and had studied Harley parts for about 5 years already. It was a joyous experience sifting through that trailer of parts. I dream about doing it again, just as you did when you went through that trailer. Your job has always been my dream. Enjoy!
Love this one. Reminds me of a DL I fixed 60 years ago. Everything original except the infamous bevel gear generator drive. Had been replaced with a V-belt. Crankpin worn 1/16. Rode it for two years, always reliable. Then went on with more modern bikes.
But running when I bought it, so no wonder you could get this one going.
This is definitely my favorite channel on RUclips right now! There was a lot of nice stuff in that container I really liked that black one
I really enjoy your videos restoring these old bikes.
This is definitely my favorite channel on RUclips right now! There was a lot of nice stuff in that container I really liked that black one and I personally like the white seat better in the blue one
The most amazing videos on the internet.....I will get there one day to visit the museum.....#1 on my bucket list....
These guys are great it's literally like watching two young kids opening up presents all day long on Christmas you can feel the excitement with these guys I love it knowing that these guys will past those parts along rebuild some of those bikes get them back out on the road 🚦🚇🚲🚲
Recently visited the Museum. The place is amazing. Thanks for all you do.
Love watching your content, so informative on your knowledge. So sweet to watch the resurrection of all the machines in your care !
You are living the dream of many many guys, i love your history, your pasión and knowledge.
From Argentina, I just have got a pair of classic and antiques bikes.
That bike reminds me of my '41 9N Ford tractor before finding out that the oil filter lines had been plugged for perhaps decades. Lotsa clattering, but it still ran. Now it sounds like greasy silk. Great work, Bruthas!
Wow you guys are amazing saving all these gems. Im fascinated with old bikes. One day i hope to have one.Thank you for sharing with us. 🤤
Perfect video, love all your hard work restoring forgotten motorcycles.
I love looking back In Time & seeing you two gents getting 45’ & ALL the rest of the vintage machines back working / riding
You bring
MUCH JOY
I wish I were by your sides Wrenching & going on some rides I would love too get my project complete & working
servi Car I have a start So far a frame W/ trans / wheels/tanks
no engine yet
all mismatched needs total restoration still gathering for now I will keep on riding my
Tri Glide I wish you Peace & JOY
Have spoken to several teenagers who complain that there are no sources of knowledge for things(not on google) or a way to follow a dream( restore cars/motorcycles). When I tell them to find someone(usually very much older) that has done it they do not comprehend that learning that way is possible much less that a real enthusiast would be willing to help(cheap to free parts are a thing) and may be as or more excited to find someone with the same passion. Time has come to start taking back apprentices to keep the knowledge.
This is definitely my favorite channel on RUclips right now! There was a lot of nice stuff in that container I really liked that black one and o personally like the white seat better in the blue one
It's great to see you guys bring this motorcycle back to life again and see it hopefully back on the road again great work guys your the best I'm from England and love motorcycle videos thank you for sharing this video.
This is why I like this channel you guys genuinely love what you’re doing
I look forward to your videos. It's amazing how you get these old bikes to run in such short order. Thanks
Absolutely a blast to watch you guys bring it back to life!
I love that you know exactly where your stuff is. I used to know exactly where my stuff was too.
MATT, i cant tell you what to do , but wiring and carb rebuild ( after sitting so long) is in demand! Leather conditioner and wash!!!!! Then paint! With the same tools used when the bike was manufactured.....i have not yet seen this on your channel in all the time watching to make magic!!!!
I'm cryin' outta selfish jealousy. How I'd love to have a chance to even clean those treasures. Enjoy, Fellers!
You guys Rock on your crew! Change the transmission everything ran.!!!!! Nice ride brothers!!!
Great vid. So fun to watch you guys getting a barn find that has been sitting for a half century to run again.
Your father would be so proud of you. It makes me emotional to think about it. Your loving life it’s wonderful to see 🙏🏻
Very cool ...nice to watch a proin action and to share your experience while being entertained at the same time also
Sweet 👍 looking forward to getting back down there! Planning on drawing time for vacation this year!
Absolutely amazing !!!! You guys are awesome 😎😎
Love it ,that bike has so much character that cannot be duplicated. I have fun hanging out with you guys trouble shooting. I love making old things run its like a treasure hunt. Getting excited for November
Man brother what a beautiful find..I know that there's a few barns and whatnot I know he has been doing for 50 years that I've known him. He had a Harley Davidson repair shop for all my life. His one step son was a baby grew up with his brother a few years older and he made sure that them boys were hands on. I'd love to say his name but I know that it would get back and he has been retired and he and his brother just rode around in his custom van and enclosed trailer buying anything antique besides bikes. But before he'd buy antiques he made sure that it was sold when they got back. There's a lot of the old Harley shops that closed but I'm talking they were 10-15+ generation owned and they would just put mainly Harley Davidson and Indian parts NOS cases of stuff that they got when they bought out a old boy dealership and private shops. Upstate NY and just across the Canadian border finding storage units just packed. The owner would never sell for it was supposed to be their retirement money and end up passing away. And the storage units weren't getting paid for the family never knew about them. And you see those shows that auction off the storage units for the highest price. A guy from Albany NY hit the jackpot on 4 or 5 storage unit that had complete bike's unmolested and rolls of pans and knuckles and crates of parts all hide behind old couches and furniture when they opened the doors you can only look in but can't get in and look at was there. Guy got them for $400-$1200 but rumor has it he knew that the old guy had the stuff but nobody knew exactly where. Happy to see these bikes and parts going were the belong congratulations brother. Love it you know your Dad's smiling and probably guided you to these places. God bless you and yours and the Crew. I'd love to make it down to your place and take a tour, 58 years old but health and living on SSI doesn't cut it worked my whole life for a Dr prescribe me something that just ate up my organs. No pity party here bro I have a cellphone and learned how to do RUclips and stream free TV all I've got. I'm blessed it just started cool I'm done texting great job guys
I just want to say that you for doing these videos, yeah the buddy seat . Man it's gotta be so nice to live your dream on a daily basis.
God, good to hear an old 45 run. Those WL's AND WLA's were notoriously easy to start, though they were pretty slow.
Admirable job! Nice to see you guys really get after it.
I have witnessed you guys work ethic in person. You are non-stop.
Man it would be a dream to own that bike like that....nice one Dale & Chris...
Love the videos.
I wish I had a parts stash that good. “Trans has a cracked case!
It’s all good, I got another one upstairs!”
Pieces makes parts, and parts build motorcycles!👍🇺🇲
Old friend told me years ago.
65 frame
78 shovel
74 heads
72 ratchet top
2000 front end.
Lo and behold 5 years collecting parts, i built a motorcycle 😎
Super glad you guys scored all this stuff and it didn't go overseas.
Another awesome episode. WTT is always an enjoyment to watch. Thank you
Just the best, what an awesome work shop.
9 kicks, and I got a stiffie. Great work, Bruthas!!!
Never seen a HD that reliable in my life .. good guys on the tools
Hello from Australia. Great channel. You guys really love bikes.
Another great addition to the museum.
That's a lovely machine right there. Makes me wonder what it was like back then to ride it brand new.
what a ton of fun you guys have a graet life to do what you do just love it
Super bike , great experience guys , saving stuff for the future, magic ,
"The moment when you THINK your moving forward" oof... that hit me hard right in the feels
I like that early 70's superglide shovelhead that you rolled out of the trailer before this motorcycle
I fell in love with harley davidson motorcycles seeing your vídeos and months ago I buy my FLST!
God bless you!
Great video,
Pleasure to watch
Love how Harley vids can use the "will it run?" thumbnail right up to the current model year!! 😂😂😂 Hah ... I'm just funnin' ya. Cheers!
You are so smart and have a awesome shop. I wish I had some of your bike knowledge.
What a find I would be well happy just going through the parts getting an old bike to run it addictive I would quite happily live in your workshop awesome keep the history coming all the best from UK viewer
Awesome job guys, so good to see the old Harley ride again.
You guys remind me of a pair of surgeons from the TV show Mash.
😂clinger
Congratulations Matt! They should keep you busy for awhile!
You guys always find the good stuff.
