    This video was great man. Love seing these old machines still being alive. And you can tell the ol'man enjoys explaining you the stuff. "Something like that" 😅 too bad i didnt know about this channel sooner, great content. And hello from Norway btw.

    Dad told me before he passed. The flat belt Pully had a slight ridge in the center that is what kept the belt on. He also told me the twist in a flat belt was to change direction only. My mom's first maytag had a kick start engine. Dad was born in January of 1923 grew up on a farm. My grand father had several pieces of equipment that run with a flat belt. Merry Christmas!

      Grew Up Around the old machinery and your dad is correct about the "Crown" on a Flat Belt Pulley Which centers the belt on it
      The Twist is Purely The Mechanics Of Direction IE: Rotation
      To which your dad is also correct

    The firetruck you showed is a American LaFrance Ariel which were manufactured in Elmira NY until the early 1980's. As was already mentioned, the Brockway you viewed next was a product of Brockway Trucks of Cortland NY until the mid 1970's (at which point the production was moved to Puerto Rico ((I think)) and continued or a short time). What you may not know is depending on the year, these two trucks may be "Related". At different times Brockway Truck built chassis for Amereican LaFrance (back when New York State was good for something...) as both companies were located in the Southern Tier of Western New York. Many older American LaFrance firetrucks have their roots in Brockway.

    That's a beast of a machine. I'd love to take that to a drive thru 😂 also nice shifting once you got that truck to run . Those old transmissions had no synchros so you had to know what you were doing. You did a nice job I didn't hear you grind the gears at all . I bet I couldn't do that . That firetruck was beautiful 😍

    Yea. You never know what's going to happen. If it ever comes to Armageddon this is the only type of equipment that you can really rely on for pumping water or generating electricity and such. Milling grain like there doing here or plowing huge gardens to feed everyone. These machines are immune to EMP's and will run the dirtiest of fuels. Nice to look at and I reiterate. A time may come when we need this stuff and people who know how to run it.

    My friend family comes from K2 mountain area second highest mountain in the world. There are many stone mills for corn. Wheat and rice flour grinding run by water from the mountain. According to him the problem with stone mills is people use to loose teeth by the time they are in fifty cause there is stone present in the flour grinding there teeth. Most of them converted to newer style grinding using water as power source.
