Mustie, for the love of God, whoever said your videos are getting too long does not speak for the rest of us. It would be awesome to see you do a live video and chat with the audience as you do it. Maybe not a super in-depth repair but something simple.
I really don't mind the longer videos. It's like having an old friend wrenching with you in the shop showing you new tricks. I've learned a lot about both small and automotive engines through this channel.
All these complainers, and they forget they have the option of the PAUSE ⏸button. No one puts a gun to your head and tells you to watch it all now OR ELSE 😂
hey Mustie, don't worry about the length of the video's, just keep them coming, it is like my highlight of the week every sunday, it is relaxing , interesting and inspiring every time.
My friend had a Ski-Doo, I had a Polaris with disc brakes in 1969. His brakes never really worked. But again in deep snow, just let off the throttle.@@MichaelSteeves
When I was very young, my grandmother used to make me go keep my grandfather company down into the basement. I wanted to go fishing, but dragged myself down there and watched him rebuild torches and regulators. The basement was loaded (and many other buildings and properties) with tons of "junk". At the time I would have given just about anything to be outside fishing with my brothers. I miss that time with my grandfather very much, now that I'm 60. Thank you for all you do on this channel. Your way of talking to us while working is genuine. Thanks again
I stray away from other videos that run long. I have been a mechanic/bodyman all my adult life. I look forward to watching your projects no matter how long they run.
I dig the long videos!! Between you and Taryl, I’ve got almost 3 hours of drinkin coffee and relaxing watching someone else accomplish something. Thanks Mustie!!!
I appreciate the last 10 minute update! You answered a ton of questions that were none of my business. I spend my Sunday morning watching whatever you put up for inspiration for what I do next. 1 1/2 hours is not too long . It really flies by. Great channel! Great format! Great humor! What a great guy!
Darren is absolutely a buddy I love to hang out with even if it's on RUclips. He is really great how he interact with us (even if it's a monolog). Troubleshooting with him is educational
I love how at first you tippee-toed around your grenadeable press spring compression setup and about 30 seconds later you were whacking it with the handle of a mallet. It reminded me of Bugs Bunny checking for duds at the bomb factory.
THE QUALITY of the fasteners of that era is amazing. There's nothing made of fancy stainless steel, it's all "ferrous" mild steel fasteners but the snowmobile isn't fighting you. It is coming apart with relative ease and nothing has snapped or broken off. I've seen this before in older vehicles, but newer stuff is the reverse.
A spring that has coil spacing like that can also be part of its design as a variable rate spring. The more it is compressed, the "stiffer" it will get. Awesome video as always! On another note, some of the the reasons your channel is so popular is that your videos are not heavily edited, there is no Bull$hi!, and you do keep it as real as possible. If the videos are long, I certainly don't care and I'll bet thousands or even tens of thousands of other people don't care either. You can't please everyone every time or all the time. Please keep up the awesome work!
Glad to hear that you have gotten a handle on your health. Sometimes the amount of meds that we take is the problem. Once again, great project. Keep up the great work!!!
I honestly can't tell you how much I love this channel, and I'm glad to hear that you're working on some projects just for you. I'm thrilled to be along for whatever part of the ride you choose to share with us. Thanks for all the years of awesome entertainment!
Had a few close calls with the press myself. Had parts just miss me and I was 30 feet away from the press when someone messed up and a part went flying by my thigh. 😮😂😂😂
I don't mind the long videos either. I'm retired so every day is a Sunday or Saturday, whatever. Sunday is my down day so your videos are fair game. Thank you for the update on the other projects. Keep on wrenching! Cheers Terry
Took me 4 years, to watch every episode, between the new and old, time permitting. I’d wrench with you any day given the chance. I’ll take anything apart and fix it if possible, besides the gas powered usual, my most extreme repair, would be when I work for a hospital, and I fixed a few medical beds that the experts couldn’t figure out. Sometimes the manufacturer manual gets in the way. Thanks for putting yourself out there. Definitely a fan.
It was in a sealed environment, meaning the seal was intact. Everything on that machine was QUALITY, the grade of the fasteners and all that. There's mild steel too, that resists corrosion better than others. I was impressed how well it came apart.
It looks like those black and green handle Snap-On screwdrivers you scored when you got that VW I think a couple years ago.. they turned out to be life savers in a FEW videos now since you scored those.. nice!!
My dad bought us a similar model in 1969..our model's name was Olympic and it was 18 hp. Btw SKI DOO offered three models in 69, Elan 12 hp, Olympic 18hp and TnT 27hp..Thanks I have been enjoying you bringing it back to life.
To fit the undersized bearing, run the engine on half throttle and take 20 thousands off the shaft with emery and freeze it with an ice pack for an interference fit ;) I loved this one Mustie1, you always rise to a challenge. Like many commentators, I love your long videos, I'm old enough to not require instant gratification :) Spot on with the doing buzz opposed to having to film everything, that why I took a year off YT. I got so much done with a buzz, LOL.
Funny enough, in software development we had something similar to a "buzz." When you have the whole project in your mind, all the steps and you're making progress, time flies and you come out energized. We called it being in the zone :-)
CONGRATUALTIONS!!! I hereby grant you the Alabama Shady Tree Mechanic Award for creative use of a 2X4 in recreational equipment repair. You'll be replacing Bill Bob Guthry who won last year's award for creative use of low grade explosives in the removal of seized pilot bearings. Your award comes with one month free pass to Sizzler. NO UNLIMITED DESERTS!
We had an Olympique 320 of the same vintage, was a great running machine for years, lots of good memories. With a dog sled pulled behind, it took a family of 5 through lots of trails in northern Wi in the Tomahawk area.
I looked up "ingenuity" in the dictionary... Mustie's picture was there.. (and you could tell he was chuckling when the took it).. he comes up with the best ways to solve a problem and it works! Thanks Mustie.. for many hours of enjoyment.. you're the best!
My ex-brother in law had the exact same sled, kind of slow but steady engine. Didn’t catch the CC size of the engine, but I think I remember ( it’s been 48 years) it was a single cylinder/250cc engine.🇨🇦👍. P.S.: I’ve been subscribed since there were only 44,000 people enjoying this channel
I love the long videos. I work from home and dont actively work every minute. So I watch your videos in between calls. Watched 5 videos today to get me through a slow day.
The fuel pickup tube can be unscrewed and modified if necessary. (If I remember well) I really enjoy these videos because I faced all the same quirks and traps of my 65 Ski Doo when I was 17-18 yo. That was a great education for me back then. I mean, I practiced swearing a lot.
That built in tank is what's called a, "design flaw". Sure it works when it is new but there will come a time when it will be a problem. A problem with only poor solutions to rectify it. Basically your only option is to cut a big access hole in it to clean it out. Something they should have done at the factory. But they couldn't be bothered.
You kept mentioning Wile E. Coyote while compressing that spring. I was thinking more about Foghorn Leghorn whenever things went wrong: "Fortunately, I keep my feathers numbered for just such an occasion."
The most important thing… take care of yourself. We enjoy new videos but only if you feel like it, only if you can , have the time and strenght for it. If you need a break from filming, you should take it. You have Done soooo many videos, we can survive forever with those… Take care of yourself!!!! Thank you again!!
Thanks for the update on your other projects, good to see they are still moving forward. Good to hear your taking better care of your health, I think the more medication you take, the more problems they cause, keep medication down to a minimum. Maybe you just need a camera man to tag along a video as you go so you can work at your own pace without having to move the camera around. Maybe you could make a access panel on the gas tank to clean it out. Have a great day.
Thank You for the update at the end of the video. I understand that it takes longer to film everything. but an update like you did at the end keeps us up to date on the projects.
Don't worry about the longer videos if it's something I don't want to watch I can always skip ahead but that never seems to happen. 3 of my favorite channels come out Sunday mornings and you're one of them👍 keep them coming your fans will always enjoy.
You killed me with laughter, when you were loosening the spring on the press with the cut socket & vise grips, " YOU SUCK", damn that chuckle Brother thank you for taking us along for the ride in you Sunday video trip.
I love the long viedos it gives me a excuse to sit and relax for and hour or so . That's what this channel is all about long viedos of bringing old things back to life never stop mustie 👍
Start a 2nd Channel for the car work, just set up a time lapse for any of us that like to see the in between work , I think this would work , Great job , keep healthy 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love your videos . Calm voice / accent makes 2 hours fly by . As a kid, I would watch the new Yankee work shop for hours. To be honest, I could give two shits about wood working . It was just his narration and passion for his work that kept me watching. Now, finding you working on mechanical stuff that I really do love it is a perfect fit. Thank you for filming your projects . MATT
That's awesome to hear that you stopped taking pills and your feeling better! I Did the same things months ago,hated being dependant on pills just because I'm older now.Just watching what I eat and get plenty of exercise!!
Another GREAT job bud. In N.J. we called that 'Chill Shocking', but only on Steel, not Cast Iron. Heat up the exterior material, then cool it down with water to 'shock it'. Worked every time.
So cool, we had a 67 skidoo olympic and it topped out around 30 miles an hour. So much fun to ride when I was a teen. My Dad sold it to his friend for a song and their kids straight gassed it. Nice to see you getting this old girl going again. Made my day Thanks
Wow, that driveshaft was as pitted as I've ever seen ! I was almost convinced that clutch was there to stay. I like the long videos, gives me time for 2 coffees while I watch !
remind me never to do suspension work with you, especially if we need spring compressors!! methylated spirits (Denatured alcohol for you maybe?) will help that water evaporate from the tank. thanks for all your effort, mate, I really do love your videos!
You're missing the real experience of 60s sledding. This should be done in the middle of a lake at midnight with some blowing snow at -15 F 5 or 10 miles from home. Some of those carbs were like a 5 layer cake. Lots of fun.
Awesome job at overcoming decades of rust and weather to get that pulley off....she put up one heck of a fight...let's hope it's not too far gone...great content as always and appreciate you sharing your day with us.😎👨🔧🇺🇸🛠️😇
A family friend back in the 70's said we could borrow their snow machines if we got em runnin'. Me and my bro worked on em for several days, as you see there's no belt guard, went like a 1/2 mile and had to jump off cuz splodey. cool rig that sux
Really like the long videos!! Mustie, been watching for a few years now, love the videos. I wish there was someway of posting a picture on this comment. In June 2022 I was on a cross country ride on my motorcycle with a buddy. We had to stop at the Honda motorcycle shop in Steamboat Springs Colorado to get my buddies tire fixed. I have a picture of almost the same yellow Skidoo that your working on, it’s on display at the dealer with all there other new ones. Looks almost the same!
About 2.5 hours east of where I live is a whole museum with these and other old sleds in there. They are all mechanically intact and many are in still like new condition. This past weekend was a large show with sleds that date back to the early 50's. 😊
Olympique 340 was a great sled for me and my 5 siblings here in the Adirondacks of Northern NY. We had 3 sleds from 72-85 Allouette K295, Polaris Colt 120, and Skidoo Olympique340. We rode them everywhere including The World Series of Snowmobiling in Boonville,NY was a favorite event.
Mustie, Glad things have improved with regard to the migraines. Also VERY glad for the update on the other projects including the panel work on the wee forward control!
Love these vintage sleds. My first was a 73 Yamaha sl338. It’s fun to hear them come back to life. Looking at that rust damaged crank shaft though….cant say I want that spinning between my legs at a 5000 rpm if it lets loose 😳
Mustie 1, you’re the only channel I can’t go without watching. Man it’s like waiting on something to come In you’ve ordered. Short or long videos doesn’t bother me. I prefer long videos because there always so interesting. Can’t wait until next Sunday now. Thanks
Because of the Eastern USA-UK time differential ,musties videos arrive 5 hours ish later in the day,so my Sunday evening viewing is a lovely way to end ones week. I am of a similar age as mustie,and love seeing his variety of ancient specimen's .

Mustie, for the love of God, whoever said your videos are getting too long does not speak for the rest of us. It would be awesome to see you do a live video and chat with the audience as you do it. Maybe not a super in-depth repair but something simple.
I agree. Long videos are the way.
+1 in a world of short-form quick-consumption content, we need Mustie and 1hr+ videos!
I made the same comment last week . I’m pretty sure 99% of us like them as long as he will make them !
They are getting too long lol
lol. So you speak for the rest of us, but nobody else can. Priceless.
I really don't mind the longer videos. It's like having an old friend wrenching with you in the shop showing you new tricks. I've learned a lot about both small and automotive engines through this channel.
Agree!!
All these complainers, and they forget they have the option of the PAUSE ⏸button. No one puts a gun to your head and tells you to watch it all now OR ELSE 😂
@@Hjerte_Verke I enjoy watching the videos thru-out the week so the longer the better. That way i get Musti all week long.
hey Mustie, don't worry about the length of the video's, just keep them coming, it is like my highlight of the week every sunday, it is relaxing , interesting and inspiring every time.
Best quote of the week, “Brakes are for quitters”. Cracked me up right there!
I drove my uncle's identical skidoo. Brake was not required! Let off on the gas you were slowing down dramatically.
It's a phrase to live and die by,,,,, though hopefully a lot more living than dying 🤞
My other one is "disc brakes are for cowards" if you have any experience with drum brakes on all 4 corners, it takes on a special meaning.
@@Hjerte_Verkemy 1970 Cutlass Supreme had 4 wheel drums. Ugh. I know exactly what you mean
My friend had a Ski-Doo, I had a Polaris with disc brakes in 1969. His brakes never really worked. But again in deep snow, just let off the throttle.@@MichaelSteeves
Mustie, you're the only channel that I can watch a 2 hour video and it doesn't feel long.
That's when you know you're good...👍😊
A agree in general, but James Condon has 2 hour videos that are also worth 2 hours, especially if you like small engines and generators. @jcondon1
Check out vice grip garage. He is a blast to watch
I've followed VGG for years...cheers
Have you seen south main auto?
"That why women live longer than men" LOL … The perfect phrase at the perfect moment.
I was flinching the whole time while that spring was getting compressed. Then you start hitting it?! Safety squints didn't feel like enough!!! 😆
When I was very young, my grandmother used to make me go keep my grandfather company down into the basement. I wanted to go fishing, but dragged myself down there and watched him rebuild torches and regulators. The basement was loaded (and many other buildings and properties) with tons of "junk".

Almost two hours of Mustie? YES!!! One of the highlights of my Sundays!
Love the longer videos. A cup of tea and a slice of cake, I am in heaven.
You would be in heaven even without the video part.
It's so comforting to see a knowledgeable, talented, experienced mechanic dropping tools and parts just like I do.
“If you put it on the floor, it can’t fall down!”
I stray away from other videos that run long. I have been a mechanic/bodyman all my adult life. I look forward to watching your projects no matter how long they run.
I dig the long videos!! Between you and Taryl, I’ve got almost 3 hours of drinkin coffee and relaxing watching someone else accomplish something. Thanks Mustie!!!
I couldn't add comments on my TV. I've learned so much from watching these videos. Thank you
The longer the better mustie
I concur!
I appreciate the last 10 minute update! You answered a ton of questions that were none of my business. I spend my Sunday morning watching whatever you put up for inspiration for what I do next. 1 1/2 hours is not too long . It really flies by. Great channel! Great format! Great humor!

He is the best.

This is my favorite channel. I use to love getting old junk and seeing if I could resurrect. Health and age keeps me from doing much.
This episode is the essence of “That’s just stupid enough it might actually work!” lol glad that clutch didn’t kill you!
Ah, was I the only one 'flinching' when he had it pointed at our faces? 😧
No lol@@David-yo5ws
I love how at first you tippee-toed around your grenadeable press spring compression setup and about 30 seconds later you were whacking it with the handle of a mallet. It reminded me of Bugs Bunny checking for duds at the bomb factory.

If the videos are long, I certainly don't care and I'll bet thousands or even tens of thousands of other people don't care either. You can't please everyone every time or all the time. Please keep up the awesome work!
Don't forget that most of the work is done in real time.
Not just a series of updates after the work is done.
I remember when I was a kid being stuck in the bush trying to get those engines going. Ah, memories.
LOL….I love the way Mustie was ‘we’….’we’re doing this or that’….and yet ‘we’ are only watching and enjoying….
Glad to hear that you have gotten a handle on your health. Sometimes the amount of meds that we take is the problem. Once again, great project. Keep up the great work!!!
Seeing this old machine brings back a lot of memories of the same model Ski Doo we had when I was a kid in the early 70's.
This is why I love this channel. HE CAN MAKE ANYTHING RUN. Next time it's a couch.
I honestly can't tell you how much I love this channel, and I'm glad to hear that you're working on some projects just for you. I'm thrilled to be along for whatever part of the ride you choose to share with us. Thanks for all the years of awesome entertainment!
That chain-case should have gear oil in it up to the level hole on the bottom. Boy that engine sound brings some flashbacks.
I posted the same thing. You’re right about that engine sound, it jumped me back to 35 years ago.
Compressing the spring belongs to the group of things that you never should do sober😂
hold my beer and watch this!
The socket/ vice grip is like a deadly jack in the box
I smell Part 3 and part 4!!!!!! Mustie I love this!!!!!!! You never cease to Amaze!!!!!!
As someone that designed spring parking brakes and worked in a facility with a dent in the 20ft ceiling, springs require respect.
Had a few close calls with the press myself. Had parts just miss me and I was 30 feet away from the press when someone messed up and a part went flying by my thigh. 😮😂😂😂
I don't mind the long videos either. I'm retired so every day is a Sunday or Saturday, whatever. Sunday is my down day so your videos are fair game. Thank you for the update on the other projects.
Keep on wrenching!
Cheers
Terry
Took me 4 years, to watch every episode, between the new and old, time permitting. I’d wrench with you any day given the chance. I’ll take anything apart and fix it if possible, besides the gas powered usual, my most extreme repair, would be when I work for a hospital, and I fixed a few medical beds that the experts couldn’t figure out. Sometimes the manufacturer manual gets in the way. Thanks for putting yourself out there. Definitely a fan.
Can’t believe how good that chain looked. Never would have won that bet.
It was in a sealed environment, meaning the seal was intact. Everything on that machine was QUALITY, the grade of the fasteners and all that. There's mild steel too, that resists corrosion better than others. I was impressed how well it came apart.
It looks like those black and green handle Snap-On screwdrivers you scored when you got that VW I think a couple years ago.. they turned out to be life savers in a FEW videos now since you scored those.. nice!!
Some of us remember being a kid and there dad taking them for a ride back in the early 70's. Mustie bring back those memories.
This is the luckiest dude on the planet, if this had been me taking this thing apart, every nut, bolt and spring would have broke. Cool video.
Fantastic as always you certainly made me chuckle Mustie with the that's why women live longer than men.
My dad bought us a similar model in 1969..our model's name was Olympic and it was 18 hp. Btw SKI DOO offered three models in 69, Elan 12 hp, Olympic 18hp and TnT 27hp..Thanks I have been enjoying you bringing it back to life.

Mustie, your videos is excellent Sunday afternoon(Where I am on the planet) entertainment. Please dont make them shorter:)
We had an Olympique 320 of the same vintage, was a great running machine for years, lots of good memories. With a dog sled pulled behind, it took a family of 5 through lots of trails in northern Wi in the Tomahawk area.

And then he pointed it right at us! 😰
I love the long videos. I work from home and dont actively work every minute. So I watch your videos in between calls. Watched 5 videos today to get me through a slow day.
Usually listen to these at work so longer videos are the best ones

Thank You for the update at the end of the video. I understand that it takes longer to film everything. but an update like you did at the end keeps us up to date on the projects.
Mustie's wonderful smile at 1:37:11 was the sunshine of my day.
Allis-Chalmers orange used to be called "Persian Orange", I worked for A-C for 17 years and believe I have orange blood!
Finally, finally finally Mustie1 said it again “SAFETY THIRD.” After all these many years. I always liked that quip-line. Makes me laugh.
Don't worry about the longer videos if it's something I don't want to watch I can always skip ahead but that never seems to happen. 3 of my favorite channels come out Sunday mornings and you're one of them👍 keep them coming your fans will always enjoy.
I was yelling that's where the flyweights go, but he couldn't hear me. 😁He figured it out though. Love the videos.
You killed me with laughter, when you were loosening the spring on the press with the cut socket & vise grips, " YOU SUCK", damn that chuckle
Brother thank you for taking us along for the ride in you Sunday video trip.
The level of problem solving is always worth the price of admission. ! Great content Sir
Ski-doo had a special grease for lubricating the clutch shaft. It was graphite based rubbery goo - couldn’t believe it would work but it did
I love the long viedos it gives me a excuse to sit and relax for and hour or so . That's what this channel is all about long viedos of bringing old things back to life never stop mustie 👍
Start a 2nd Channel for the car work, just set up a time lapse for any of us that like to see the in between work , I think this would work , Great job , keep healthy 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love your videos . Calm voice / accent makes 2 hours fly by . As a kid, I would watch the new Yankee work shop for hours. To be honest, I could give two shits about wood working .

Awesome on the Econoline. Every time I see it in the background, I think how cool it would be to see the restoration go forward.
That's awesome to hear that you stopped taking pills and your feeling better! I Did the same things months ago,hated being dependant on pills just because I'm older now.Just watching what I eat and get plenty of exercise!!
Darren's stash is full of bits 😂
Enjoyed this one. One of your best. Lancashire, England by the way!
Evapo-rust should donate a drum with dipping basket to your channel. Great stuff!
I enjoy the long videos! I set and eat breakfast and have my coffee while watching..best start to a Sunday you can get!
Another GREAT job bud. In N.J. we called that 'Chill Shocking', but only on Steel, not Cast Iron. Heat up the exterior material, then cool it down with water to 'shock it'. Worked every time.
33:15 -That was more entertaining than a Japanese Steak House! Love how, no matter what, that pulley was coming oiff, impressive escalation!
So cool, we had a 67 skidoo olympic and it topped out around 30 miles an hour.
So much fun to ride when I was a teen.
My Dad sold it to his friend for a song and their kids straight gassed it.
Nice to see you getting this old girl going again.
Made my day Thanks
This is my every early Sunday morning. My wife gets up about 3 hours later than me.
Wow, that driveshaft was as pitted as I've ever seen ! I was almost convinced that clutch was there to stay. I like the long videos, gives me time for 2 coffees while I watch !
remind me never to do suspension work with you, especially if we need spring compressors!! methylated spirits (Denatured alcohol for you maybe?) will help that water evaporate from the tank. thanks for all your effort, mate, I really do love your videos!
You're missing the real experience of 60s sledding.
This should be done in the middle of a lake at midnight with some blowing snow at -15 F 5 or 10 miles from home.
Some of those carbs were like a 5 layer cake. Lots of fun.
That Wile E Coyote line had me laughing hard.
Absolutely love that character.
Thanks for the update, and yes glad you are taking two days a-week to free-wrench.
Unbelievable patience and persistence- you amaze me!
Good for Mustie1 for taking time for himself. He deserves it.
Thanks for the shop time Mustie1! Awesome to see it come to life and run much better than expected.
With the high number of 10mm that go missing everyday across the country. It hurt to hear of a sacrifice
Awesome job at overcoming decades of rust and weather to get that pulley off....she put up one heck of a fight...let's hope it's not too far gone...great content as always and appreciate you sharing your day with us.😎👨🔧🇺🇸🛠️😇
D, thanks for the update on the other projects, curios every time I see them in the background.
Videos are never too long.
A family friend back in the 70's said we could borrow their snow machines if we got em runnin'. Me and my bro worked on em for several days, as you see there's no belt guard, went like a 1/2 mile and had to jump off cuz splodey. cool rig that sux
that's great news on the engine for the possible swap.... I forgot how sweet that truck is , nice fab work :)
Really like the long videos!!
Mustie, been watching for a few years now, love the videos. I wish there was someway of posting a picture on this comment. In June 2022 I was on a cross country ride on my motorcycle with a buddy. We had to stop at the Honda motorcycle shop in Steamboat Springs Colorado to get my buddies tire fixed. I have a picture of almost the same yellow Skidoo that your working on, it’s on display at the dealer with all there other new ones. Looks almost the same!
About 2.5 hours east of where I live is a whole museum with these and other old sleds in there. They are all mechanically intact and many are in still like new condition. This past weekend was a large show with sleds that date back to the early 50's. 😊
So glad you went back to longer video's, You make my Sunday that much better.
I’m always baffled what you accomplish and ur patience.
Olympique 340 was a great sled for me and my 5 siblings here in the Adirondacks of Northern NY. We had 3 sleds from 72-85 Allouette K295, Polaris Colt 120, and Skidoo Olympique340. We rode them everywhere including The World Series of Snowmobiling in Boonville,NY was a favorite event.
Mustie, Glad things have improved with regard to the migraines. Also VERY glad for the update on the other projects including the panel work on the wee forward control!
Mustie is up to his trickery again! Good job 👍
The whole spring conundrum had my anxiety through the roof 😂
Gave you a thumbs up for getting back to the old projects! I've been watching your videos now for 7 years. Keep up the good work!
Ah, the days of Lilly. Sure did enjoy those videos.
Love these vintage sleds. My first was a 73 Yamaha sl338. It’s fun to hear them come back to life.
Looking at that rust damaged crank shaft though….cant say I want that spinning between my legs at a 5000 rpm if it lets loose 😳
Ya, there’s supposed to be a cover that goes over the primary clutch and belt. Plus these engines will spin at 7000 rpm at full sing.
Would be a fast way to get de-balled for sure 😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mustie 1, you’re the only channel I can’t go without watching. Man it’s like waiting on something to come In you’ve ordered. Short or long videos doesn’t bother me. I prefer long videos because there always so interesting. Can’t wait until next Sunday now. Thanks
Because of the Eastern USA-UK time differential ,musties videos arrive 5 hours ish later in the day,so my Sunday evening viewing is a lovely way to end ones week.
I am of a similar age as mustie,and love seeing his variety of ancient specimen's .
Dennis Kirk has a ton of parts for those old obsolete sleds. I had an old Massey Ferguson years ago they had all the parts i needed to get it going.
We have a group of here in Upper Michigan that has any kind of part you might need for older sleds. 😊
