    Thank you, Thank you again. Our family roots are in Goldfield, My grand mother was the first child born there Jan. 1, 1900. Too bad you didn't go in to the Santa fa saloon. there are pictures on the wall inside of my grandmothers family. I have spread my dads ashes across the hill side up on the hills behind the Santa Fa. It was nice to see how the town has changed and not changed since I was last there about 20 years ago. Safe travels, and thank you again. From the Watterson family.

    Dave, I don't usually comment on videos but your journey to bring Panda home has me fascinated. Today's video of you going through the mining town, examining the old equipment and vehicles has been balm for my soul. I love your obvious love of these things and I want to thank you for taking us on the discovery with you. Onward bound indeed!!!

  • @hoss1003
    @hoss1003 4 года назад +28

    Just a suggestion, quit adding plain water in the radiator. It will boil out and cause the engine to run hot. Ad antifreeze/coolant only, it is better and won't boil.
    Good luck

    • @CC-pk6tt
      @CC-pk6tt 4 года назад +2

      So true, it really does need the anti-freeze.!!!

    • @Storm177
      @Storm177 4 года назад +1

      True but it's due for an engine replacement and they are just trying to get it home.

    • @bobbilaval6171
      @bobbilaval6171 4 года назад

      Hmmm. There are allot of good reasons to run a mix or premix antifreeze. Antifreeze has corrosion inhibitors and chemistry that keeps the water pump happy. And glycol based antifreeze has a higher vapor pressure than water, about twice, so yeah it has a much higher boiling point than water. But glycol also has about half the specific heat was water does. That is it moves about half the amount of heat per unit mass as water.
      In a typical application with a 15psi radiator cap water will boil at about 250 F, 50/50 mix will boil at something close to 300 F. But water will run about 10 degrees cooler, because it’s transferring heat more effectively. I would not be surprised if Panda had a 20psi radiator cap common in allot of trucks, which would raise the boiling point to about 265 F. For most racing applications water is usually preferred, because an engine that always runs a few degrees cooler will be cheaper to overhaul. Though you need to add a product like wet water which has corrosion inhibitors and chemicals to keep water pumps happy, with the added benefit of reducing surface tension of water making everything more efficient.
      But Dave isn’t running straight water, he is just diluting the mix when he adds water, which is fine for what he’s doing.

    • @hoss1003
      @hoss1003 4 года назад +1

      They may be trying to get Panda to its new home. But I'd rather pay a few extra dollars for coolant, to keep it from boiling and building enough pressure to blow a hose or crack a head. Then you either have to pay alot more to fix it or tow it.

    • @anitablades6033

    I hope that by the time you are reading this, you will be at you destination. Most of the area you have ahead of you will be much cooler by this time. I saw Vegas with a high of 80 in the coming week. Hope the cool weather caught up with you in time to be of benefit to you. Good thing that you discovered that bad oil pump in time! As long as the oil pressure is up, the crankshaft and cam/valve train bearings should survive! You're probably burning the oil past the rings and the valve guides. Very interesting old places. The old useless scrap iron is now decoration and interesting artifacts. What stories they could tell. Thanks for taking us along.

    I enjoyed the sites of the old town and toys. My granddaddy lived in a big old house that had been in the family for generations. He had a lot of old broken down car, trucks, tractors and buggies that had been used around the land. Us kids loved to play on the old rusty pieces. There were old pony stalls along one end of the property and big old barn with a tack room and stalls for horses, cows and pigs. We loved to play around up there. Now, the upstairs of that big old house was creepy! Granddaddy was the magistrate of the little town for 30 yrs or so. He held court in the front room of the house. That was scary to see the police bring handcuffed men to the house during the week. Brings back some old memories! HUGS~Donna

We just had a big article in the paper trying to get the old railroad car diner fixed from the 1950's. Cindy Lauper shot her MTV video at the diner and around the town for her big hit "Time After Time." in 1983. Ledgewood, and Wharton NJ. Find it amazing the equipment they built in the 1800 .

    Good afternoon Dave & Bella!! It’s wonderful seeing that you are finally getting quite a few miles behind you so you can reach your destination and finally get some much needed rest and relaxation . I just always love ❤️ those places you visited in the lost old west ghost towns, and very nice wagon and train,along with a saloon. I think it’s great preserving much of the old west which time seems to have forgotten yet those who wish to preserve what little remains of the good ole days. You can definitely just rewind back 100+ plus years ago and just picture what life was like during those days. Well safe travels and looking forward to seeing some more good ole west ghost towns. Great video and thanks for sure for taking the time to stop and show everyone what all you did. Much love ❤️ to Bella and glad the Panda is doing well !!! Sorry for my lengthy comment but had lots to say my friend. Until next time, later. Wishing you the best of luck until you reach Arizona. Where in Arizona do you have to go? ❤️❤️u Bella The Bounder and Panda. The Bounder will be happy to see you and Bella again!! 👍👍👍👍😊😊😊❤️❤️
