Man, your videos are better than what Disney puts out now days. Love EVERYTHING you're putting out. I hope you keep going. People your age could learn to love what America is all about. Just love it!
Helluva buy! Diesel engines last forever. If they bought it on the cheap and do the necessary repairs, still worth it. Used fork lifts fetch gobs of money - a fact the buyer knew upon purchase. Excellent workhorse on a farm or in a warehouse. Well-paced and informative video.
On a 4 stroke engine it takes two full revolutions of the crank to rotate the cam and valve train 1 full revolution. If you want to make sure valves aren’t stuck, you should go 720 degrees on the crank.
Just started watching your channels! I’ve probably watched 20 in the last couple days, great content! I am a diesel mechanic just wanted to tell ya if you soak a rag in gasoline and hold over air filter inlet it will run off the gas fumes . It will eventually dry up and have to resoak it. It’s a lot easier on the engine and don’t get any knocking likebwith starting fluid. Just a friendly tip lol
Here Down Under ,as a kid my old man had a similar piece of machinery on our farm and believe it or not it had a lil petrol motor that you pull started and lifted a lever and it started the main motor which was a big smoky loud diesel motor ,it was much much bigger than this one but very similar,all my mates at work love your channel ,hope you get bigger and bigger and keep on pumpin out these grouse videos ,much respect from Australia mate
Pony motor starter. Little gas motor you start, spins up the diesel, then you throw the lever and engage compression on the diesel and it starts. It was the method of starting big diesels before they were able to make starter motors big and powerful enough for them.
Wow..We take care of JLG and skyjacks among other equipment. No Lulls in our fleet any longer and I only saw 1 highlander. That is an oldie for sure. John Deere engine. The fuel pump might come back if you run seafoam through it. Enough to start anyway. You do need that wire on the pump with 12 volts or it will not send fuel to the nozzles. Pretty cool.
It’s all about the effort you put into the project. It doesn’t matter to me personally if it’s successful or not it’s just great watching you trial and error to find out what the problem is.👍👍🇺🇸
Gorgeous Square body, I'd just found out this is the exact paint 2-tone combo my 1982 k10 has, been working on it 7 yrs all frame-off NOS Gm resto. First year Diesel as well. Awesome video btw. Looking forward to more heavy equip!
You need one of the small battery operated leaf blowers so you can get in the engine compartment and blow out all the trash before you start hooking up batteries and turning wrenches. Saves you time in the long run 😊
You're able to fix anything. Get a rebuild kit for the injection pump, $20 or so, and have it running in no time. Enjoy all your episodes. Fix stuff, travel, etc.
Great video. If you come across another Lucas CAV that won't put out high pressure to the injectors it's probably due to stuck plungers in the pumping head. It is possible to take them apart and unstick the plungers but you have to be careful to mark them and put them back exactly how they were or you'll be delivering too much or too little fuel. Those CAV's are good pumps if you don't leave them sitting for 30 years lol.
Great video man! Had a chance to buy one running years ago for $1800 bucks. Plant rules changed and anything gasoline was out. Really had no use for it and didn’t see much profit in it so I passed on it. Probably a mistake.
Back in 1995 I resurrected a 1966 Lull high lift fork lift the Perkins flat head 6 had a long Crack in the block and after drilling small holes the length of it I used JB weld to seal it and had to rewire the whole thing to get it to start
Had a 125cc 2 stroke Honda elsinore, there was a 250cc also ,blew a hole in the piston so bought a piston and rings,$10 piston, $5 for the rings mid 70s
Next time you try to revive a diesel, put air pressure to the fuel tank to push fuel through and prime the injection pump. Works great on old tractors.👍
God I hate seeing machine get scrapped like this no interest to fix so scrapped it then let someone buy it for a good price then what they would scrap for. Great work
A lot of those pumps have a pickup screen in them and they get clogged and will fail had it happen to me twice on different machines was preparing to bight the bullet as you said those pumps are spendy 🤑 hopefully that helps Those lulls are hard to kill
Yeah I thought about trying to bypass the solenoid. I did give it a few wacks with a hammer in case it was sticky. But then I was reading that these pumps are prone to failure if they sit for a long time and was kind of on a time crunch with this one. Hopefully simple fix for the guy who bought it.
Just recently found your channel...definitely fascinating. Your wife is a real good sport of your endeavors. Not sure if you need a solid high output 12v air compressor but I've gathered a bunch of info on em in the last few months. If you need mobile air in a small compact package lemme know
I used to work at a rental place and just about half the people would run our Lull out of fuel and I would have to get it going again. I watched a guy mess with it for a hr and not get it going. I would put fuel in the main tank then use a old inner tube and hose clamp over the fill and put a couple pounds of air in it crack the injector lines till fuel came out and bam she would start and run, 15min tops lol.
Shoot I had one in this same condition. i wanted to get it running but it needed 4 new tires. which I couldn't afford. So I sold it before i got too in debit with it. i wish I still had it except repaired condition. great video, thank you.
I'll have to try that but seeing as how throttle body cleaner And brake clean which is basically acetone wouldn't start it, I don't see how WD-40 would. Of course I don't have that much experience withmanner! Diesels so I could be wrong

Your channel is hidden gold knowledge bro. You know so damn much about vehicles/engines its insane. Love your vids, dont stop
i used to run that forklift , it used to be in arizona , the company died when housing market crashed in 08 , the color is call schuck orange,
I would take that thing in a heartbeat! Glad someone rescued it!
On a 4 stroke engine it takes two full revolutions of the crank to rotate the cam and valve train 1 full revolution. If you want to make sure valves aren’t stuck, you should go 720 degrees on the crank.
Hey Chris! Well you got it running! I am glad that somebody is going to repair the Lift. Thumbs UP man !!
Know I can use it

Ran this exact model for years. Best thing about this model is that it's so basic. easy to fix and easy to get to parts. I would buy another one.

Man your a jack of all trades mechanic, chickens, and a bee hive
That's good that they found a byer for the lift instead of going to scrap
Wow..We take care of JLG and skyjacks among other equipment. No Lulls in our fleet any longer and I only saw 1 highlander.
That is an oldie for sure. John Deere engine. The fuel pump might come back if you run
seafoam through it. Enough to start anyway. You do need that wire on the pump with 12 volts or it will not send fuel to the nozzles. Pretty cool.
Have to hand it to you Chris, perserverence is your strong suit!
Thanks for showing us around, all the best
Cool iam glad they didn't scrap it!

Oh the sandwiches…..Those crazy sandwiches

Thanks for the new video! I enjoy those that dive into anything machinery.
You need one of the small battery operated leaf blowers so you can get in the engine compartment and blow out all the trash before you start hooking up batteries and turning wrenches. Saves you time in the long run 😊
These videos are great because even a fail results in an opportunity for someone else!!
Sitting 20 years and making smoke in a few seconds
Madness. No f's given love it!
Someone started cutting the exhaust off thinking it was a catalytic converter. What morons we live amongst.
You sure know how to work some magic Chris!
For what it's worth, from what I've checked on this model, it uses the John Deere model 423DD engine, 78 HP.
Watch the LULL episode on ol2stroker where he junks the JD diesel and puts in a Detroit 353...
You're able to fix anything. Get a rebuild kit for the injection pump, $20 or so, and have it running in no time. Enjoy all your episodes. Fix stuff, travel, etc.
you a kickass dude! You need to get noticed a lil bit more fosho! Ur awesome dude! keep up the good work!
Awesome job of process of elimination! Your videos help me huge. Keep up the great videos bud.
NNKH
Did you mean process of elimination?
ANOTHER great vid... will it run?! Nice job Chris... keep em coming! Have a good one.
I’m glad you posted the video because nobody else I watch has put out shit for a week
Thanks for checking it out! They're probably all out taking advantage of the nice weather
Great video. If you come across another Lucas CAV that won't put out high pressure to the injectors it's probably due to stuck plungers in the pumping head. It is possible to take them apart and unstick the plungers but you have to be careful to mark them and put them back exactly how they were or you'll be delivering too much or too little fuel. Those CAV's are good pumps if you don't leave them sitting for 30 years lol.
You can't get them all to work but it's worth trying to excellent video great content thank you for sharing this with us two thumbs up
Enjoy your problem solving Chris. Thanks as always for posting.
Thanks Chris for another educational video..you never disappoint dude..vidoes are top notch in my book, not like the Florida rain man crap..lol
So glad you found a buyer.
Great save, someone will eventually have a good atv lift for moving cars or something. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Ohhh you have bees 🐝 !!! So nice 👍
This man's about the toughest nut in the woods.
Perfect!!! As usual. Make it more often please!!! 🙂
Man, i see most things youre selling on marketplace lol its cool to see the videos of you tryin to fix em up!
Great video man! Had a chance to buy one running years ago for $1800 bucks. Plant rules changed and anything gasoline was out. Really had no use for it and didn’t see much profit in it so I passed on it. Probably a mistake.
Back in 1995 I resurrected a 1966 Lull high lift fork lift the Perkins flat head 6 had a long Crack in the block and after drilling small holes the length of it I used JB weld to seal it and had to rewire the whole thing to get it to start
Ive learned so much about engines/cars
Awesome project man. Currently working on my Honda mr50 Elsinore project bike. These videos made me want to start that project. Great vid
Nice, that's a cool bike! And thanks for checking the video out. Awesome to hear that it's motivating
I’m rebuilding one of those as well
Had a 125cc 2 stroke Honda elsinore, there was a 250cc also ,blew a hole in the piston so bought a piston and rings,$10 piston, $5 for the rings mid 70s
Blow compressed air trough these pump to try to make the plungers move out while trying to start, that works sometimes.
Man I wanted to see this move under its own power.
Yeah me too. Darn shame
Very cool. Nice to see you got the old girl to come to life for a few seconds before she went to scrap.
Awesome video as always!!🤘🤘
Thanks Nicholas
Keep these videos coming!!!
Thanks man I appreciate you
You most likely just have to pull the pump apart and free the plungers in the rotor
Cool beans glad it was saved
Next time you try to revive a diesel, put air pressure to the fuel tank to push fuel through and prime the injection pump. Works great on old tractors.👍
God I hate seeing machine get scrapped like this no interest to fix so scrapped it then let someone buy it for a good price then what they would scrap for. Great work
Some of those truck rims make great fire pit rings!
worked on quite a few of those old girls still working on 1044's and exactly two 844's
great video thanks 👍
A lot of those pumps have a pickup screen in them and they get clogged and will fail had it happen to me twice on different machines was preparing to bight the bullet as you said those pumps are spendy 🤑 hopefully that helps
Those lulls are hard to kill
The good old Lucas CAV pump, most likely all you needed to do was remove the stop solenoid, pull the pin and put the rest back in.
Yeah I thought about trying to bypass the solenoid. I did give it a few wacks with a hammer in case it was sticky. But then I was reading that these pumps are prone to failure if they sit for a long time and was kind of on a time crunch with this one. Hopefully simple fix for the guy who bought it.
Old Marty T would have had it running and working around the acreage by now haha just kidding dude
that john deere engine is worth fair money. it does run.
Looks like a John Deere, the fuel filter part number is AR50040, engine oil filter part number T19044. Fuel pumps are very expensive 👍
It is worth fixing up!!!
YES!! a new video
I believe that's a 30 series John Deere engine last forever them things
That’s definitely a John Deere engine.
Just recently found your channel...definitely fascinating. Your wife is a real good sport of your endeavors. Not sure if you need a solid high output 12v air compressor but I've gathered a bunch of info on em in the last few months. If you need mobile air in a small compact package lemme know
Can we have a walk around of Stacy's Scottsdale? Cool old truck
Lucas CAV is generally English, I’d say it’s a perkins motor
Those pumps can be a real pain in the ass to prime. Cranking it for a few minutes just isnt enough.
I used to work at a rental place and just about half the people would run our Lull out of fuel and I would have to get it going again. I watched a guy mess with it for a hr and not get it going. I would put fuel in the main tank then use a old inner tube and hose clamp over the fill and put a couple pounds of air in it crack the injector lines till fuel came out and bam she would start and run, 15min tops lol.
Looks like a John Deere fuel filter so I would say John Deere
If you would get hold of Bruce Wilson he's up here on RUclips he would buy it
If that was near me in NC I would happy give 1000$ for it
Thumbs up 👍
Man I just saw this video, I would have given $2000 for it .And I’m not that far away either. Glad someone had the sense to grab it though
Yeah was definitely a great deal
Shoot I had one in this same condition. i wanted to get it running but it needed 4 new tires. which I couldn't afford. So I sold it before i got too in debit with it.
i wish I still had it except repaired condition. great video, thank you.
Perkins?
That guy on Ebay selling the pump is not nice
Chris, you can get anything running. You should head to Washington. Maybe you could get the government running!😂
It was designed not to run properly, well for the people anyways, it runs just as designed for the fake politicians....
I need your skills.
You really should use WD40 as a starting fluid
I'll have to try that but seeing as how throttle body cleaner And brake clean which is basically acetone wouldn't start it, I don't see how WD-40 would. Of course I don't have that much experience withmanner! Diesels so I could be wrong
You still have air in the system you have to bleed it at the injectors still have air in the injection pump
Perkins
Aren't they required to pass a certification to be legal for use? If so then it's probably cheaper to buy a new one.
You can use whatever you want on your own property/farm.
Trying to lift a lift with a hi-lift 😬
Looks like a john deere 50 series engine made in france
Check the fuel filter
The fuel filter is passing Fuel through it
Tell Camarata, he'll buy and fix it.
He didn't want it
Do it
the fuel filter is cat
What kind of diesel engine is that?
I'm thinking it's a perkins engine many of them things have perkins diesels in them
John Deere probably 219
Can't save them all. Nice try.
LuLL used deer engines
100 dollars.
Who else feels like commenting 😊
Man...Why? nah...
Because I hate to see perfectly good machines be cut up for scrap. And I enjoy tinkering with stuff. Best way to learn
