- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- finishing up the last repairs on the rat rod quad,it only had rear brakes and when loaded it was hard to get it to stop. but they were a mess . so lets look into what it takes to fix them.plus a bunch of mail was in my p,o, box
Steel wool on the drill bit is exactly the kind of outside the box thinking that is the reason I watch your videos. To LEARN things I wouldn't anywhere else. Keep up the great work!
I love the rat rod quad I went back and watched all the videos in the build I would love to have that thing hope it's around for years to come
Happy and prosperous new year from an avid viewer across the pond !..you have provided us all with some great entertainment and knowledge. From a 66yr old engineer still learning !!!.
Definitely put a drain hole in something like a switch used outdoors. Water always finds a way in, it just doesn't seem to get back out without help. Thanks for the video. I love to see you work on stuff of all types.
I'm a little jealous of your hoarding situation! It's nice to have something when you need it! Lol It verifies the saying one man's junk is another man's gold! Love the vids!
your work inspires all of us fans to get our ass in the garage and wrench
I am impressed with the steel wool honing tip. Well done.
If he got a new snowblower for Christmas, we should refer to you as Santa Mustie. Good karma. Thanks, as usual, for the hard work.
Great info for old car brake cylinders, my 34 Plymouth has them. I remember my dad and i using stones and a drill on them and replacing the rubber since brake fluid eats them. HAPPY new year.
you did a fabulous job building this. I think it would very very useful for someone with a farm or with sizeable acreage.
That is a great thing you took the time to show the switch failure!
All of us appreciate your time to teach us. Happy New Year
On those wheel cylinders use the round wire brushes like the plumbers use cut off handle and put it in your drill. Great job on the rat rod . Have a great new year
Thanks again for yet another fine video. Little tricks like the steel wool on the drill bit is nice. Happy New Year to you and your family and best wishes for you all. Keep em coming.
That slide hammer part was hilarious...
He's got some of the neatest toys. Where there's a will there's a way!
Impressed with the use of steel wool to hone the wheel cylinder!
I almost fell out of my chair laughing when you ran the sped up part of the video. You suddenly become a tiny voiced man who can move super quick! Your the new Speedy Gonzalas!
Darren, I've only came across your videos via a Beetle repair and now I'm hooked on everything you do. My girlfriend is American (I'm British from central London) and she's from Ligonier PA. If we ever move back to PA I swear I'm going to convert the twin garage at her moms to a workshop and get myself a VW bug just on the inspiration you give to myself and others. I know nothing about cars !!!!! So please pop in and help when we move back !!! Happy New Year and thanks again. UK Andy
Thanks for donating the snowblower to the old man :)
That steel wool trick is amazing! I’ve already got a few projects I’m gonna use that on.
The rat rod quad looks like something my cousin and I would have dreamed up when we were teens and yes they worked too
When I worked for a highway equipment manufacturer we put those battery disconnect switches in everything we made. They are weather resistant but the drum part of the switch is not meant to be directly exposed to the weather. That part would be inside the battery box. Also a slick trick for getting those screws out that the head is busted off or damaged is an air powered scribe pencil, they act like a little impact hammer to vibrate the screw loose and drive it out.
... and if that doesn't work, use a tie wrap. Happy New Year!
I've used rubbermaid/tuperware/whatever style dishes to make little boxes for stuff like that switch before. The ones with the latches and gaskets in the lids are really great for that purpose.
Firstly happy new year! I think one of my fav videos was your wife dumping with the quad and then blazing off, it was awesome.
it's-23 here and i broke a sweat watching you pull that drum off.. whew
I never get sick of watching you
Double B except when he eats cookies😒😐
I wish I had thought of the steel wool and drill the last time I had to do a brake job on a 1978 Yamaha. I used paper towels and 3 days of my finger stuck in the cylinder spinning it around and around. "Poor Man's Got Poor Man's Ways" Happy New Year to you and your's!
You hooked that guy up with that snow blower 👍🏼
Thank you Darren for an amazing year of wrenching and entertaining. May 2018 bring you many more successful garage sales, many more positive comments to your videos, many more enjoyable miles behind the wheel of a Volkswagon, and no more pathetic television contract offers! Be safe, happy and hug the Misses for all of us! Happy New Year. Chuck in Kansas
Missus ;)
Yep, Darren's the man ! His videos are like educational therapy and some of his commentary are hilarious 😉
Doing air tool repairs for a living, I found a good way to hone odd-sized cylinders is to slip a wire bottle brush into the drill and wrap a piece of scotchbite pad around the bristles. Does a nice job of removing rust without removing material from the cylinder.
i realize I am kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@Yosef Alfredo i watch on flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Sergio Elliot Yup, been watching on flixzone for years myself :)
@Sergio Elliot thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!!
@Yosef Alfredo Happy to help xD
It's now 2018 here in Scotland...Mustie...Rat Rod Quad and another glass of whiskey.....Life is good!!!
The fast forward reminds me of A Christmas Story when Scut chases Ralphie and his friends down the alley.
Lots of work but worth it. Great fun watching, too. Thanks Mustie and Happy New Year. I can't wait to see what you have in store for 2018.
Thanks Mustie !!! Looking forward next year!!!
God bless all of the people who send you such thoughtful gifts, you have some really great fans. I agree completely with your "run it til it breaks" idea, if I build something for myself it doesn't have to be prize-winning or have all new parts, I use what I have. Great machine.
I can say that i have thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos on the rat rod quad. I would very much like to see you rebuild it with all new part or refurbished parts and repainted as well. I am looking forward in watching all your other videos. Thankyou.
I've always been told to use nothing except brake fluid when honing brake cylinders. Then flush with alcohol only. Under no circumstances use petroleum products. It has to do with rubber cup seal deterioration. Have a great New Year. I look forward to more fun videos.
great vids , Im a bit of a handyman but I find I learn something new with every new vid you put out .......just wanted to say thank you from kenosha Wisconsin
Your fast forward segments are the best
Really enjoyed the "chipmunk" portion of the show (sped-up video segments). Also, the steel-wool-wrapped-on-a-drillbit trick was awesome. Hope to be able to use that trick some day. I'll be sure to mail in a royalty payment to you if I do. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year !
I'm amazed those cameras are still working at all! They were making those worrying 'death rattles' in the zoom mechanism even before I sent them to you.
lol, still ticking and thanks again they made about 500 movies,
I've got some more I can send.
l just finished a video using the new camera but the sound is not as good, what do you have that you are looking to get rid of ? id like to buy them off of you.
I'll send you an eMail.
The steel wool wrapped around the drill bit was resourceful and effective. Wish you would have drilled out the broken master cylinder screw.
Can't say as I have ever seen a slide hammer vise grip before. Great idea.
They're occasionally handy and it's easy to make one.
Daren, a merry christmas and a top new years to yourself and your wife from Dave and Jane In Orange, Nsw, Australia. Cheers mate and keep the videos coming, we love them!
On very small brake cylinders I often take a half inch wooden dowel or whatever size I need and cut a slot and use wet or dry sandpaper in the 400 and then 600 or 1000 grit . As soon as you showed the broken screw on master cylinder I was talking to my computer " file it off and drill it and use a square easy out" , after removing fluid and stuffing it with paper towel to keep filings and drilling debris from getting down there . I really like this rig , very fun and functional .
Love the sped up bit at 6:00 there! For some reason the chipmunk voice terrified my cat and she's just run out of the room though, lol.
Hah! A bunch of fun without spending a bunch of cash (except for $100,000 worth of tools and shop!).
No matter, great to watch you figure it out, mustie. Happy Holidays!
Had my laugh for the day with that switch. lol thank you buddy!
I learn so much from this channel.
Learned a new tricks, steel wool and a drill bit reversed 👍👍👍👍👍
No Mustie video without the "magic hammer" :)
Condensate killed your kill switch. Weephole was a fix. Fluxuation of temp & humidity would cause that switch to sweat inside, if they sealed it too tight, and it looked pretty well sealed. Cal-tool makes a wheel cylinder hone with 2 stones, small enough for wheel cylinders. Shotgun wire brush would work for cleaning crap out of it.
Just when I thought I had seen it all as far as your ability to figure new ways to do things you come up with steel wool wrapped around a backwards drill bit . Nice job
Brake bleeding on a motorcycle, four wheeler. I had a rear disk that I couldn't get it to bleed the air out no matter how much fluid I ran though it. The angle of the caliper was making it tough. I got fed up with it and started thinking outside the box and used my pneumatic vacuum pump I use for AC work. Hooked up the vacuum line up to the bleeder, and the air was out, the brake had a great feel!
May I wish you and your wife a Happy New Year all the best for 2018.
Wishing Mustie and everyone else a Happier New Year. Eagerly looking forward to more "edutainment" videos. BTW Mustie, what you are calling a "paw" is a "pawl". Cheers.
Lol love the vice grip puller that's amazing
Wire wool and a drill, who would think that up... yep mustie :-D works really well too :-D.
Ooow decorated cookies yum, they don't stand a chance against you lol.
zx8401ztv here is a old saying that MUSTIE1 reminds us over here of, NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF ALL INVENTION Necessity is the mother of invention definition. A need or problem encourages creative efforts to meet the need or solve the problem. This saying appears in the dialogue Republic, by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. MUSTIE1 IS PLATO FOR GODS SAKE HAHAHAH JUST saying Old One Legged Joseph T retired Navy
you've never done that?
Me.... I would as well...
It'd be nice to see you hit 105k by midnight, but that is pushing it. It'll be interesting to watch the climb to 200k in the coming year. - Happy New Year.
Instead of using your finger on the bleeder, put a piece of hose on it, and loop the hose so it goes up above the bleeder before dropping down into a catch bottle/pan/etc. Open the bleeder a touch and start pumping. The column of fluid in the hose will act as your check valve, when you release the lever instead of sucking air it'll just pull back a lil fluid.
That stash of parts is great. Cheers
Great video Mustie !. Taking out the stud run a couple of holes with a really fine drill bit on the meaty part of the master part cylinder, spray with oil and back and forward with the vice grips and it will come out a treat. If you do it right it will not compromise the threads in the casing. Happy New Year from Northern Ireland and Thank You cheers .......:)
I thought, for a second, that you might get that screw out, but then it occurred to me, "NOBODY gets that damn lucky!" Probably a stainless steel screw in a cast aluminum body, a fastening scheme that's born to die. Anyway, Happy New Year, wrenchmeister!
Mustie1, Happy New Year Bud, Brakes, U need no stinking brakes, they just slow U down, I'm a big, big fan of the Christmas cookie!!!
Nice visit to the Land of Hoard!!
Nice work again Darren. Love the steel wool trick. I usually use a small wooden dowel with a slit in the end for either steel wool or fine sand paper. The sand paper you just wind around until you get the size you want. I think on the brake reservoir, I would have sanded smooth then drill and tap for a new little screw but hey, the zip tie will hold! Keep up the great videos!
Happy new year! That Suzuki quad looks very sturdily built.
if you put a zerk fitting on the brake you can pump them full of grease the higher pressure of that allways frees them for me love the videos m8
All the best to you and your family Mustie for the New Year and thank you so much for the videos,even the ones with 'split pins' in - I'm joking. Call it a cows truss if you like.
Best Regards from across the pond.
Awsome video!! Always make sure to watch ur vids. Thanks again
This is the time of year when Darren gets busy repairing snowblowers!.
I like how you always come up with an ides how to do some thing . Its not I cant do it . Its how can I do it . cheers my friend :)
Cool toy and good idea with the steel wool
Happy New Year Darren. Looking forward to next year! I'm hooked.
Love this rat rod quad. Reminds me of the one I built.
I bet they’re magnet signs, I bet they’re magnet signs!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you so much for the awesome content. Love your channel. I even started sharing it in FB with all my wrenching buddies and they are sharing too. You deserve a huge audience of people who love doing what you do. Keep up the great work and we look forward to what comes in the future.
😭😭😭you’re getting cookies for work...😒... happy new year 😏👍🏻 best wishes from China.
you had cookies in front of us!! In the UP of Michigan ,we had some sort of snow thing where you pushed it into snow, it would be filled and voila,snow is gone. I think I will find the name for that thing and revise this :)
A wood dowel with a slit cut down the middle can hold both sandpaper and steel wool quite nicely! (But you got that drill-bit to work just fine) Back in operation after its nap!
Your great entertainment. I'm in NH too. I can't figure out where you are. So good job with that.
His po box is in Hinton so how hard can that be ?
Haha, love the wire wool reaming tool. Great idea. I'll remember that one.
Cheers
Martin
You watch this guy too? Looking forward to your videos in the coming year!
they definatly still make the quad runner and the king quad. i have a 2006 quad runner at home. also, use a reverse drill bit to remove the broken bolt in the master cylinder.
Happy New Year to you may the Lord bless you throughout this whole next year🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐
Mustie- all the squirrel talk was to cover all the swearing! Lol!
Hi Mustie1, Happy New Year to you and yours, The best thing to use in trying to keep some of the water out of the kill switch is vaseline, it is used in telephone cables and sat cables for many many years, it is also one of the best rust preventetives because every time the weather is hot it creeps into nuuks and crannies, so in places where there is not wear by water splashing or other wear it is number one, I would also consider to drill a hole in the switch at the bottom so that the temperature difference does not draw water in throu the stem and the crimping even if they have been sealed by vaseline "belt and braces". All the best
that ajuster nicer than most cars have
It's almost exactly the same as the adjusters on Japanese cars, which I guess makes sense.
Nice that your horde comes thru for the wheel cylinder. I’ve had good luck freeing up stubborn cylinders pumping grease thru them with a grease gun connected where the brake line connects. Looking forward to your channel content in 2018
Happy New Year !!
That's a great idea!
Maxwelhse not my idea, but I’ve used it with good results. I’ve also heard of it used to free up engine pistons by capping off the cylinder with a plate that has a fitting attached. Never tried it but I’ve heard it works.
Need more Mustie1. Like the longer videos. Great videos.
Isn't that the snowblower you fixed up recently for the neighbor? Bet it is. Have a happy new year.
Wire wool on a drill bit, also polishes head ports very good. Happy new year to all Mustie fan's
Great video bro, now you do not need to pull back on the reins to stop or yell "woooo there". Just over 10 hours till 2018 so all the best for 2018 from NZ
happy and happy new year !! Wishing you a good thing
eric from France
Back yard wrenching got to love this. Happy New Year Mustie1
Using steel wool on a drill bit might not be the best way to clean up the wheel cylinder, but I go back to my Grandparents time. I quote from them, "necessity is the Mother of invention".
Perfect end of 2017 video , may 2018 bring as many great videos .
Thanks for the info Mustie1 Happy New Year
that was fun and educational . thanks again. Happy New Year!
great educational vid,keep up the great job! Happy New Year
You say "hoarder" I say "parts connoisseur"
He says "the hoard", I say the "Land of Broken Toys".
I am just hoping you flushed any steel wool particles from inside the intake to the cylinder. Have you ever used a vacuum to bleed brakes, works great on fluid changes. Crack the bleeder open, put a vacuum line there, and stuck the fluid down. Works great if you are bleeding brakes by yourself too.
