@Junkyard_Dave 's playlist: • Keller Super Chief
While the Hercules IXB3 really isn't that rare of an engine, THIS ONE is! We machined the original engine out of an extremely rare 1948 Keller Super Chief that fellow RUclipsr @Junkyard_Dave has begun restoring...
This little piece of automotive history is 1 of 4 remaining in the world, and 1 of only 18 Keller Super Chief ever made. We're honored to have the opportunity to be a part of keeping this history alive!

Thanks man
Heck yeah!!!!!
I never realized so much work went into getting an engine block ready for assembly ! I always just dropped the block off at my local machine shop,you guys are really talented! Thanks for taking the time to show us knuckleheads this process
.
You guys put way more love and expertise into the engine than he put into the entire rest of the car. Junkyard guys probably shouldn't try to do restoration work. 🤣
The cleaning guy knew exactly why he set it off recording in slow motion.
So the apprentice doing the commentary on the video could see exactly how it is done 😂😂
Well done the cleaning guy 👍
As an old guy, an old car guy, and a home machinist, I love this channel. I wonder where in the journey of skill gathering you are compared to the cleaning guy? Nothing but respect for you and your dad, and nothing better than seeing a business span generations.
Retired engineer, and same here!
Like usually.. the newer generation is often ahead with newer methods and the older generation has more experience in total of course.
Its a joke amongst the father and son. The son calls his father the cleaner lol
It’s not brand new again, it’s way better than new. With the whole rotating assembly balanced including the flywheel and pressure plate, that little thing will be as smooth as silk.
Thank you for the calm and peaceful video. So many RUclipsrs put in loud music and goofy stuff. I love the channel.
Those Timeserts have saved so much parts and equipment. They could charge twice as much and we'd still use them lol. I wish they were cheaper as well.
Absolutely phenomenal that even with an old ass engine like this you still go to all these efforts to make it as perfect as possible, and in some cases, better than factory!
Props to dad's mixup on the camera settings. Made for a more dramatic shot. Probably better footage than standard speed getting to see whats going on.
Fixing the mistakes of others is the mark of a true craftsman!
I love the fact that he is rebuilding the Hercules. I have an old Oliver crawler with an IXK engine in it. Very similar to the IXB and it's fascinating to watch someone actually work on one of these old engines!
Nice to see engine machine work being done properly and with great precision. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the opportunity Dan.
Fabulous video guys! Wonderful to see such precision engineering restoring and old block.
Thanks for another great video, and YES to a farming channel by the cleaning guy. Many people today don't no the trouble Farmer's go through and the work that goes into running a farm.
GOD BLESS

I am a fan of a few "Farmers" YT channels. I would love to watch the cleaning guy working on his farm day to day.
I just love when you “clean” the cylinder deck and you can see a rainbow reflection. Brings back memories when I rebuilt my cars engine, had it sent out to have that done along with new valve guides , bored, and new freeze plugs. When it came back the cylinder deck was a thing of beauty
You guys put great attention to detail into your work! I wish you guys were closer to do some of my work.
Back in the 60's my dad bought a 1944 wheelie's jeep, we had a man come out and due a guide and seat repair! He drove the guides down and then broke them in half, then removed the rest of the guide, because with the rockers and cam still in, you could not drive the guide out in one peace! Still in junior high school, had my nose right in there learning how to do it! Then he cut for seats, learned a lot on that job! Went on to be a Cat mechanic and worked in their spec shop and machine shop! That harbor freight tool I used on many occasions, good job.
Cleaning guy definitely need his own farming channel! Love the videos keep them coming ❤
Yes I agree! I’m a big A/C fan
woo hoo. happy new year and congrats for the cleaner becoming a grandfather
Heck yeah. I'd love to see a farming channel. Great work guys.
Came from Junkyard Dave's channel. Subscribed! Great channel!
Flickery slow motion aesthetics should be added to every video, I'm a fan Nick!
Awesome project. I love the transformation on this engine. They did a good job back in 1948 but 2024 machining and balancing looks so good! I can't wait to see this engine run.
The slo-mo crank grinding is very cinematic, I expect to see this effect used in all your future videos! 😁
YESSS the cleaning guy does need a farming channel!!!!
This is a beautiful piece of machinist cinematography
Like the 3 angle valve seat cutting tool.
You guys do so excellent work! Most shops gloss over old machine mistakes and just do whatever they can to get the job out the door. I really enjoy watching your videos!
yes we would like to see more of cleaning guy the farmer!!
It’s nice to make it better than new!! Thanks!
Making it brand new again?? You made it better than new!
thanks for keeping America running, our engines and our stomachs.
Wish I had found an opportunity to work at an automotive machine shop.
I've been machining for years as well as building cars so seeing both come together would have been fun.
Kudos to you all on restoring that block and hope the car it’s going in will be restored to its former glory!
The video quality is freaking amazing in this video!
So this is the one part of that car that won't be hacked together.
The cleaning guy definitely knows crank grinding better than he knows cameras
I’m here from Dave’s channel. He does great work & I’ve followed him for years. So now I’ll follow you. If he trusts your work. Good by me. ✌️✌️
Wow! Great job , I used to rebuild Hercules engines the four-cylinder and six cylinder on forklifts, maybe 40 years ago now retired, my favorite job was building those engines and painting them , after a few days they were running in the machines! Great satisfaction having them start right up and sounding great ! Also did many Continental engines and Wisconsin air cooled ones .
I'm 53 and have had a couple really great cleaning guys do my machine work.
We as a community are blessed that this cleaning guy has a son to carry on the tradition of being the best I've ever seen.
Great job guys!
Very fun to watch! I rebuilt one of those engines in about 1979 for my old Lincoln DC portable welder. It was a much different work environment back then. The machinery we had was so much more primitive and everything was manual. And we sure didn't balance that old engine. But I know it was still being used in 2008!
I really like watching old steel made new again.
Should be great running little engine for many years!
The slow motion definitely was fitting! Awesome content!!!
The mighty Hercules lives , BRAVO !
The cleaning guy? That's phunny as hell! My dream was to be a machinist since I was a kid. I love it, there is nothing in the world I would rather do! I enjoy watching these videos, because I have never done engine machining.
2 thumbs up for the Cleanup guy farming channel from this old Iowa boy!
Good content and Happy New Year and thanks.
I love seeing these rare older engine builds.
Fascinating business so meticulously going through that engine. I loved seeing how cranks and valve seats are done.
Great explanations!
as an OLD (A.K.A. GEEZER) city boy, I'd appreciate a farming channel. I get that you plant seed then water and fertilize... but everything else is unknown... obviously the precise farm machine operations are TOTALLY unknown to me.... go for it!
beautiful work,thanks for taking us along
I STILL say: nothing so beautiful as the velvety gleam of freshly machined metal🗯️😊
Wonderful Video ! Amazing Work provided for the customer as usual ! Thanks for sharing !
Funny how slow and steady makes a much better job. Great job!
12 👍's up Jim's AMS thank you for sharing 😅
Cleaning guy certainly needs his own farming Chanel!!
Beautiful work, both of you!
Dang ! That Engine is as Old as me ! I enjoyed the Slow Motion ! Wonderful Video on a nice old engine ! Thanks for sharing !
Great job, thanks for cheering with us.
"cheering" with us? You mean "sharing" with us?
Fantastic work as always. Cleaning Guy FTW
Another really interesting engine to work on. Brilliant.
Well done. Enjoyed all the details of the work.
22:02 Incredible precision ! 😮 👍
There something that is just satisfying about watching old iron being saved and brought back to function again... GREAT JOB
Thanks for sharing hope you guys are having a great start to the year god bless everyone
Ah , the fun never stops !
I have no words aside from fabulous!
Very nice work.
The cleaning guy does nice work
amazing tools and the the machinists who run them!
Stellar work, I like your attention to detail and just going the extra mile.
outstanding work on that engine block and always remember Work Smarter, Not Harder
Watched Junkyard Dave get the car on his channel, and saw that you came up on my RUclips feed with his engine. It's great to watch people who know what they are doing fixing up something as rare as this and doing it correctly. Great job.
Yes more videos of fixing the tractor and putting it back to work please, and once again love you guys content
Love the videos...good job
Happy and prosperous New Year to you the vireo editor and the cleaning guy
family run shops with generations of knowledge passed down.. these are the type of places I have gotten the best ever machine work done. attention to detail and real pride in their work!! most of us over 50 have grown up with toolboxes in our garages that got used.. so cool to see when a young guy gets interested in what his dad or grandad is doing and takes the same pride...
I'm surprised that you balanced the non-counterweighted crankshaft. Thinking about it...the pistons will counter each other at the ends of each stroke and without the counterweights the secondary imbalance fore and aft will be greatly reduced. So the main reason to use the counterweights is to reduce the stresses on the bearings which won't be a problem in a low revving engine like this one. Would be curious to see just how badly it shakes in operation...maybe for another video down the road?
Any time you can get a rotating assembly to balance, it will smooth out the engine. some of what he was balancing wasn't necessarilt the crankshaft, but the items added to it that almost no one thinks about if it will affect the balance.
I had my gmc 1944 270 straight six balanced and it became a completely different engine so smooth now
I'm positive that once assembled and running, were it not a solid lifter engine you wouldn't be able to hear or feel it running. Nothing better than something taken well within the sometimes wildly variable specs and clearences of the original design and manufacture. It will be slick to say the least.. .Very nice work as Always... Wish you guys weren't so far away, as I've got a Farmall engine I need to have the machine work done on. Being in a big city these days doesn't mean you can find someone capable of doing this quality of work... Thanks guys....
Delta is n awesome resource. Quick service, knowledgeable and new blanks for some very odd applications. So too is Smith Bro pushrods. If they don't know the specs they'll take your sample n make what you need.
Sounds like you made the little herc even tighter than how it came from the factory.
I'm always impressed at the crazy small size and compactness of a flathead I4 engine.
Excellent work! -Former engine machinist
Wander, how much more compression, that engine has now? Bring on, the farming channel!
The cleaning guy is starting to get pretty good with the videography it seems. Lol
Love watching and hearing what you are doing
Machining AND farming in one channel??? Hell yeah!
Outstanding video! Great attention to specific details. The valve fitting was amazing with the alternate colors of Dykem.
Slow motion makes everything better! 😀👍
Man, I love this channel-always a pleasure to watch the process and see how you guys approach every situation. Looking forward to seeing the next one!
Amazing to watch such skilled folks at work! Makes me ashamed of the cobbling I do on my tiny lathe and Chinese milling machine with my tiny collection of tools....
Another great video! Thank you for sharing! This video really shows what it takes rebuild/restore an engine! I enjoy the details you share!
I'm about 30 miles away from Delta cams in Tacoma been using them for years, keep the videos coming
It's always entertaining to watch craftsmanship in action.
You do great work. Its a pleasure watching your videos.
Well done and always nice to see your work
Even a cleaning guy in slow motion is better than no cleaning guy. Lol.
Really nice work, and enjoyable to watch it being done.
great vid guys love the great quality of your work.
