Thank you for being an amazing Dad, the future people on this earth need goodness in their lives more than any other generation I can think of. Bless you sir. 💛
We once bled the brakes on an old transporter trailer using the vacuum on a holden ute. Old as in it had 36 ford brakes on all eight drums at the rear . Worked a treat but you should have seen the 202 smoke on a diet of brake fluid. It will be good when the lads old enough to be a useful offsider for things like this job .
In the 80's, If we knew someone was going for a drive down Queens St in Auckland, for a perv. Leaving from the Grays Ave PSG Public Service Garage. We would jack the car up and pour brake fluid down into the muffler. About half way down Queens St, when the car had warmed up, looking up into the rear vision mirror, it would take a second to try and understand why the whole street had literally turned white and you couldn't see anything behind you! Ahh the good old days......
Genius fix, and a wholesome end with the kiddos and pup. I know as a young boy I would have been pretty thrilled to sit in a truck like that and rev it up! Marty T continues to be one of my favourite channels :)
G'day again from across the ditch Marty. I never had any doubt you'd get that beast going. I reckon an Angry Ram decal on the doors would be the finishing touch and pay homage to the angry one
Skill, knowledge, persistence paid off. I thought to myself that the engine trouble sounded like it was a fuel problem and then that is what you said so I thought I am not too dumb after all.
I'm glad you took the time to film the new addition to the fleet , all those different camera angles . The 2 problems , clutch and fuel system I was hoping they were easier fixes . Glad you got your 2 helpers interested , they looked pleased .
Your tenacity and mechanical ingenuity is exceptional even for a Kiwi who are some of the most Ingenius and tenacious humans around. How you remain on task setting up the camera is remarkable. 5/5 Banjos.
It ain't got no gas in it hmmm🤣 Carl would be proud you found that loose clamp. Also, you gotta love when engineers design a clutch line, then build a truck a round it. 🤦🏼♂️
I've been watching your videos for a number of years now, and honestly I think you've grown to the title of 'Master of the Apocalypse' with the knowledge, diagnosing and crafting capability you have. Always fun to see what you do, and inspiring.
Marty, you're one of the most patient mechanics I've seen! You and Andrew Camaratta just keep on until you get the problem sorted out. Kudos to you, my friend!
Determination, grit, ingenuity, patience - loads, you made it to the top. Always believing and never giving up. Another oldie beastie rescued. With time and gradual maintenance, it will run even better. Like a surgeon getting the clutch line out, brazed the ends and back in again. Starts easier and engine runs well.
Great fix along the drive!Worth it to see the smile on your kids faces.🙂 My grandson loves to turn wrenches with me while working on, well…..anything!!
That was quite a treacherous job getting up the driveway! Pretty neat machine with two steer axles. The kids waving and smiling at the end was the best!
I too have found Pressure bleeding works way better than vacuum bleeding. What kindve brazing alloy did you use, looked like it flowed really easy . I’ve had good luck using 45% silver rod on high pressure hydraulic lines but it’s tricky on low pressure steel lines I use 8% silver solder with a high acid flux i’ve even soldered fuel tanks patching small holes using nickel strip from recycle lithium battery packs. Learning how to braze and solder steel is such a useful knowledge most ppl overlook. I’m happy to see you spread that knowledge cheers
That’s a great thing for the farm, the tipping tray is the best for obvious reasons, will do a bit of everything, also good for loading up machinery, you only need much shorter ramps, I need a v8 8 wheeler now
Stamina, endurance, ingenuity, skills, and all other possible words describing your ability to reach your goals may not be enough. Kudos. The trainees will be valuable assets for future projects.
Twin steer is not unusual here in NZ. We even get KW cabover 8x4 tractors with twin steer. Its about spreading the load out to minimize road damage Also helps cope with the very twisty roads here .

Awesome job Marty! I helped repair a leaking power steering pipe in a mitsi delica on Pitt Island while we were waiting for the plane to arrive, it also took us 3 hours to get out and braze!
