- In this video, I do a bit more work on V12 Detroit Diesel 2 Stroke powered Wally Wabco the dump truck as part of the quest to see if I can bring him back to life. Wally is a 60 year old Wabco 35 Haul Truck that had been left sitting for years at a Quarry untouched before I got to him. In a series of earlier videos, I got the 12v71 Detroit Diesel 2 Stroke engine running and I eventually got Wally Wabco driving. I’ve battled poor weather most of the way, but this video is a follow on and an update from the earlier videos for those interested. Thanks very much for watching.
I live in the United States and stumbled onto the channel. I have worked on cars and trucks all my life. I own my own shop. I'm no "spring chicken" anymore so I can identify with you, a bit. I think your videos are fantastic. Your knowledge and experience is obvious. Keep up the good work!
Thanks very much
Good on you yanky, crack a tinny there mate and bog down
Love it when Bruce is proud of something. Gets that little grin on his face. Always a good day when Bruce posts. Best to you from Wa. Sate USA.
Bruce, you have a wealth of knowledge. I have learned a ton watching you work and listening to your stories. Thank you for these series!
Thank you, glad your enjoying them
2:03 No point denying it: dirty looking hose is what we’re all here for.
Not when they 'burst' & spray all over hard won cab paintwork recon
@@benwinter2420 I think you missed the joke. Better to read it out loud and think of a jaunt on the seedier side of town for a clue. 😂
Priceless
@@Hjerte_Verke or maybe he didn't
Gotta love Bruce. My first thought was that shirt is too tidy for this. I hope the person who gave you that for Christmas wont notice 😊. Love this machine and your work
He is always tidy! I can walk past a greasy item, never touch it and the grease will leap out onto my clothes. I'm a grease magnet.
Yes I know probably should be in overalls but find them uncomfortable
@@bruceinaus of course overalls are totally uncomfortable and they stop you from stretching and moving around so easily. Keep doing what you are doing cos I love it
Live down dirt roads proper , you find the lacking of 'dust' tight of ALL vehicles . . go to town clean jump off . . end up always looking like you slept in a culvert
Excellent video Bruce,one question ,why did you call that new engine oil Railway oil ?Is that just Aussie slang or some other reason?
It’s a great day when Bruce uploads!
Thank you
@@bruceinaus I like the stories you explain things very well.
Bruce youre a true mechanical wizzard,
Keep em comming !
Greetings from Holland
Thanks very much, appreciate the support
Great to hear from Wally.
Battling wet weather
That sounds as sweet as anything. Amazing for an engine that done some real hard work.
Couldn't agree more
@@bruceinaus I suspect you'll be keeping it ?
Love old Wally and all your videos Bruce cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks very much
Love the scream of an old Detroit! Hello from the U.S.A, half way between New York and Boston :)
Hello from Queensland Australia, thanks for your support
4:10 SPIDER!!! 🕷️🕸️ 😂😂😂😂
Extremely observant!
Didn't move away though so quite comfortable there
Can't wait to see that dump bed lift up you kept us waiting for quite the while
Yes sorry about that. I had to change the lift hoses first and I’ve suffered 4 months of wet weather so that’s held me up.
Great video Bruce. I was glad to see you take off the sump and clean it up. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks for rescuing Wally.
I thought it might have been worse aswell. If you have a look in one of the earlier videos, I lifted the rocker covers and it was unbelievably clean. I think it’s a pretty good engine in this one
Another top video Bruce, proves us oldies can still do stuff.
Thank you
Great content Bruce . I love this tipper truck. Can’t wait for the next video. Keep up the great work Bruce. Love to see it running and tipping. Love from the UK. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mark, I’ll persevere but I’m largely in the hands of Mother Nature now before I attempt to back it out and use it
Great job Bruce
Thanks Matty
Bruce, a wet Friday here on the Gold Coast, what a perfect opportunity with my hero mechanic in the bush, so loved spending an hour with you and Wally mate and the yarn was a ripper, love them in any form, just keep them coming. Yeah, my Pop always swore cleanliness is next to Godliness so I know he’d have loved you too, and both he sure could tell a yearning
Loved the story time
Storytime is kind of unique to your channel. Keep it up.
Always a fun visit with Bruce and his staff…two and four leg associates. St Marys, GA USA 👍
Thank you!
I like working on stuff like he does, the right way, i have this damned arthritis so bad i cant hang onto a wrench anymore, Bruce allows us to watch his skill over his shoulder, i almost feel as if im working on it myself😊. Thanks Bruce
Get off of the tap water & get some Sun
Thanks Bruce. Dad owned four of these in his quarry. Keep up the good work. And the camera man does a great job too.
Thanks so much for the super thanks, nice to hear about your dad’s Wabcos. I wonder where they ended up. All the best, Bruce
Absolutely love the knowledge mate , and one of my favourite parts is always the stories while pumping fluid cheers mate 😁😁
Love these videos, big love from the UK Bruce you’re a master of the craft
Bril!. Old school bush mechanics! Nice one!. Nuff said. 🙂
Thank you
That stuff never gets old to work on fun fun! Thanks for the watch an tips.
Those stories are great, somewhere someone has just had a light bulb moment and is running out to there beloved POS
Another great Video thanks Bruce. You're a bloke I'd love to sit around a fire with a stubbie or two and listen to your yarns, just a tad to far from the bottom of WA.
Cheers 👍
Pleasure as always Bruce!
You’re a great caretaker of these machines and a great mechanic. That old Wally sounds really strong.
My first regimented training was on military jets, A10s, F4s etc. We pretty much worked like you’re demonstrating. Cleanliness was a constant mantra. Right tools, right procedures. Not everyone could deal with the demands. But the concern of having a jet come down unexpectedly was something of an incentive, especially since we documented every act of maintenance so there wasn’t too much doubt as to which crew had been on the plane.
I totally understand, thanks for sharing that
You are the legend of all legends and do not talk about passing away mate as you are still a young fella
Hello Bruce great to see you still getting the job done right well done mate awesome stuff keeping the old machines running and operating thanks for sharing love it blessings from Ipswich
Another winner! My favorite quote, "Doesn't Wally sound good." They didn't call'em "Screamin' Jimmys" for nothing.
When we got it bogged moving it I recon it could be heard a mile or two away
Loving the stories, Bruce. Keep them coming.
I gotta say, the meticulous way you work is something to behold. An absolute expert at work.
Bruce as you know expirianced hands give a slight back turn when making up threaded fittings on hoses, bungs and bolts that are being installed. It went easily because your patietcne was applied before any force or spanner. Any one worth their salt spin them together by hand to make them figer tight first. People in a hurry cross thread way more often than the patient mechanic. And the Gem of checking the timing on all older more worn engines is spot on. With every other part on the engine worn out why not the timing gear on a distrobutor or injection pump?
You are a good hearted man for passing it on and giving credit to where it belonged.
You also strike me as a man who has had to fix more than a few problems from careless dirty assemblies on hydrualic systems. Also, clean fittings will reassemble easier than slimey ones, leaks show better on clean stuff. Basic common semse, I am so happy I stumbled onto your channel. Best wishes to you and yours, from Perry, Ohio. U.S.A.
Looks lik you're a steel worker as well as everything else. FINE job on the pan and tell those tales! Not everybody will understand but some of us might and that'll be just fine! The old 2-cycle fired right up and gagged everybody in a mile. Diesels always had bad breath when cold. I'm ready for it to get wound up and go but like you said, it'll need to dry out somewhat. I got to help turn bolts somewhat but I did better herding than I did fixing., which I sure did. Watch out for that killer dog and THANKS and CHEERS!
Hi Bruce and cam man . Bruce it amazes me how you can stay so clean ! I would have half the grease and dirt on it all over . Take care Cheers and 🍺🍺🍺🍺
So soothing watching such a humble gentleman work on these machines that he does. 👌🏻
Speaking of timing. About 30 years ago we picked up an old Allis-Chalmers cable blade HD-16 dozer. It would start and run but was an absolute dog and would barely push. Well, we advanced the injector pump timing, and she woke right up. Still had some other issues to repair such as a cracked cylinder head, but after the repairs, that machine was an animal. It would push and skid huge turns of logs way beyond what it should have been capable of. The exhaust note was awesome under a load.
My uncle preferred this machine over other old machines of the same era, including the mighty Caterpillar. The dozer was sold after my uncle passed away and not long after the new owner bought it, the engine locked up. Unfortunately, it went to scrap. Cheers from another Bruce in Eureka, CA, USA. 🙂
Love the spider on the tyre @3.50, got to love Straya, and another @6.05😁
Plenty of spiders in our area
I love the buggers, redbacks hurt quite a bit but I still like them.
The only person I know with a garage that can easily park that beast.
Seamless production values, steady camera work, a few edits and good audio are hallmarks of this channel. I look at the shot compositions the way a cinematographer would and everything is top notch, well lit and focused. Loved the story and the resolution at the end (carton of beer as a reward). What was probably best is that you were feeding thirsty Wally as you were telling the story so it moved the video along with multitasking. Just a delight all around. 🏆
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. Glad you are enjoying it. Bruce
I'm with you on this one. Always clean before removing stuff. Not just because it keeps things ok if you don't want that dirt in, but it's just much better to work after you've cleaned things up.
Also, the stories have to flow! That's half the job, telling the story. :) It also reminds me of when i used to work with my uncle. He had a ton of stories of his own with all little things to learn from or about.
Good to see you back at it! Thanks for taking the time to share your project with us. Hope to see some more work on those dozers from your last video.
Very informative and entertaining. Just so satisfying to follow the journey of Wally Wabco.
If wrenching gets to be to much, I'd still happily tune in for your stories. Cheers from British Columbia Canada
Grandpa needs a pressure washer sponsorship.... tough old bird
Another great story! Thanks Bruce!
Reminds me of the great sound made by the V-12 motors, on the old CAT 773C and CAT 773D dumpers, I once operated here in NZ.
If I was replacing the hoses, I would have hit them with brake clean first, then wire brush and finally air. But each to his own methods. I enjoy your vids immensely Bruce, keep them coming mate.
im retired 21 years now. my tools in shed consist of many home made crows feet and pipes i used like you to make life easy.
Brilliant video 🎉. Impressed by the highly functional farmer style bodgery and by how well it runs and drives - an absolute beast 👍
lol thanks, I’ve been patiently waiting to bring out a crow bar to fix something in a video and this case it was Wally’s sump
Love your attention to the details and look forward to your next video.
Thank you I try my best to keep things clean
Pretty organic some of that old machinery. Snakes, spiders etc make working on these things interesting!
Great story Bruce, been enjoying yah Detroit Diesel Dump Truck project, it's good seeing you give Wally a new lease of life. Cheers for the reel.
Funny thing about that old DB tractor Bruce, my father in law down in Kyogle has an old D7 dozer that was doing the exact same thing! Couldn’t work out for the bloody life of us what it was, we were mucking around with the thing for weeks! We had the injectors out, the rockers off, we had my auto sparky mate go over it, you name it. turned out as your mate suggested that it was the pump timing 👏
Love your stories Bruce! Your videos are so calming. Great to watch a passionate person who's a master at what they do: like the David Attenborough of machinery!
G'day Bruce love your quality teaching and explanation of what your doing or why your doing ,, I love it mate , always learning something from ya ,,
And ya got a day with no rain ,, ps its pissing rain again tho lol, cheers Bruce keep up the great videos
Bruce, your videos are great & you really know your way around those old workhorses!! Cheers to you mate✌
Really love watching you your experience is amazing I love your stories I live in the uk we don’t get to see much of the stuff you’re working on so it’s a pleasure watching you I can’t wait to see what happens to the old Bedford one of my favourite trucks as a kid my dad drove loads of them so I have been in loads I have fond memories inside them as a kid
I love Wally videos by Bruce, such a big old machine but if worked on meticulously, really shines on the inside! Can't wait for the next video! Greetings from Dubai!
Thanks so much for the support
Hopefully the hoist Ram seals hold out , she's been weaping for a while by the looks , and with all that sitting🤞🏼
Wally's going to need a whole 44 gallon drum of grease 😂
Hey Bruce. I live in the US and love your videos. Your demeanor and knowledge of these "old gals" is inspiring. I have worked on cars all my life but learn something new every time I see one of your videos. Keep the videos coming and keep up the great work!!!!!
Brains beets braun every time / experience leave young agility always. I can clearly see you have done this a least one before todays issues is its almost impossible to pass it on to the younger generation. thanks for sharing your knowledge Hi from Brisbane😊
Thanks Chris, only up the road a bit in Brisbane
Love the stories my grandpa on my way to my trap and skeet practices or anytime we're riding around he tells me stories similar to yours from his childhood and even tho I don't say much to him I pay attention and just let him tell them
Love old school mechanics, really impressed Bruce. And love the 12V71 sounds.
Thank you for that
My friends would never take advice on repair unless it was a real cool dude telling them. And they sure wouldn't pay the favor back. Sounds like good friends he's got
No one better than Bruce! Keep the videos coming!
I have a little story but went to drain the oil from an isuzu truck about 20 years ago and i undone the sump plug and nothing came out. So took the sump off and it was like black grease and a screw driver would sit upright in the oil/ turned to thick grease, really messy and obviously the engine needed a rebuild including new liners pistons and everything else. I think you will understand 😂 it was FD. ❤ your work Bruce and seeya soon in the next one and again hope to meet you one of these days👍
You wouldn’t even have to work on anything. Your stories are so engaging I could listen to you for hours.
G’day Bruce, stumbled onto ur channel probably as i watch Kurtis from cutting edge engineering and the algorithm added u to my feed. No experience in engineering and Am a printer and graphic designer. Love ur channel, perfect way to watch someone who is meticulous, does a great job and helps preserve bits of history. Keep up the good work - regards markc
Love the videos pal, I watch them with my grandson.
Thank you, a few others have commented similar
Neat stuff sir. Watching from Amsterdam and fascinated by you getting this beast up and running again. Nice work!
Great video Bruce , love the stories, that’s how we learn keep them coming 👍
Finally, the first RUclipsr wearing proper safety equipment while working on hydraulic components 👍
Gloves and safety goggles - essential- not sure if this hydraulic fluid is as bad as the one I’m used to from commercial airplanes - but I think hydraulic fluid in your eyes is never fun ^^
Hi there, a few people have written in and said they watch the videos with their kids and even grand kids so I’m trying to do the right thing
Goodonya Bruce! I enjoy what you do and the way you do it👍 Gold Coast Australia 🇦🇺
Bruce is a fit young fellow who knows his stuff.
Another brilliant installment Bruce! Can't wait to see the next one
Nice old rig ,certainly larger than anything I have worked on, be a great feeling when your able to use it,😂🎉thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Thank you and back at you
Big machines mean big tools and big dirt. Good job.
Thank you Bruce for making me forget the snow outside here in Sweden. Even if it’s just for an hour. Your stuff is great
Another top notch video Bruce ! With an appearance from Jax to boot . You pay attention to details Bruce and try your best to make things "right" and consider the next bloke that may work on that machine . I to, have a story about a mate and myself that overhauled a Chrysler 225 slant 6 about 50 years ago and a rookie mistake we made . I laugh now about it , not then . Thanks for taking us along to hose shop to see them being made . I always wondered about that . Thanks again Bruce , Scott 🌵
Thanks Scott
Amazing video as always, thank you for showing the hose production proces.
Good to see the Furry Foreman keeping Bruce honest by inspecting his work.
Hey up mate another great video didn't feel anything like an hour could watch and listen to you for days love seeing the works on wally, reckon a bit of preventative maintenance paint in and around Wally's radiator would make his smile stand out, good luck with the rain
Good job on the repairs and the video Bruce! Thank you!
Thanks for the support
Bruce, the amount of times you’ve gotten out from under Wally and not banged your head is amazing, my head would’ve been covered in knots!
That Truck is so cool. Thanks for sharing it Bruce. You're doing a great service
We need some official Wally Wabco/Bruce swag.
Love seeing these old workhorses brought back from the brink.
Keep the videos coming, Bruce. Cheers from the USA.
Another great video Bruce !
Your knowledge and experience is amazing and I always find it inspirational, you never panic, just take everything in your stride.
Thanks for sharing.
This was great, ta Bruce. Great story time! That engine oil black as night too.
Love the stories, also love seeing what gear you use. I’ve got my self a macnaught 20L oil pump because yours looked so good.
Also can’t believe what a great shed you have!
Good on ya Bruce 👍👍👍 Legend still spinning the spanner’s 🔧
Thanks Andy, doing what I can while I still can
Hey Bruce,
Just wanted to drop by and say your channel is absolutely awesome! I've been following your repair adventures for a couple of years now, and I'm hooked. Your skills as a mechanic are truly top-notch, and watching you work your magic on those old equipment like dump trucks, bulldozers, and old semi trucks is incredibly satisfying.
I've been sharing your content all over my social media pages here in the States, spreading the word about your channel far and wide. By doing this, I hope to help you reach even more people because your videos deserve all the attention they can get. Keep up the fantastic work, mate!
Cheers,
Gmc Guy from the States 🇺🇲
I usually take a Kärcher-style high-pressure washer to clean big thibgs like this the night before I work on them. The next morning, all is dry and clean.
Excellent job. Greetings from Finland.
