it's nice to watch something where somebody is not using four-letter words, or they are getting mad, throwing things in anger, it's educational, and I'm been watching your videos a long time. I enjoy watching them!
Hi Jeff. your videos saw me through the convalescence of a heart by-pass. I watched them one after another from the time that I got out of the hospital till I had seen them all. Now that I'm caught up I can't find anything on RUclips that compares. I love your ingenious solutions to problems and actually watching you work rather than you just telling us what you did like most guys do. Keep up the good work my friend. The music that you use stays in my head for hours after I have watched a video. I love it.!
Back when I was 17, (1973) I ordered from Sears mail catalog 1 of those 18 inch long channel locks 4 inch jaws. My old man (He is the guy who invented the Fog Line "white line on the side of the road") looked at them and said; "What the Hell did you buy those for you will never have a use for them!" 2 days later we replaced the exhaust system in a 1964 Ford Falcon Wagon 170 CID 6. used u-bolt clamps which we had to spring out to get them around the pipe and dad could not get the threaded ends to line up with the holes. I grabbed the big channel locks and said get out of my way. Pinched the threaded ends together and the bracket slid right on, then the washers and nuts. Looked at the old man and said: Never have a use for them guess you were right! One of the best tool investments I ever made. Good to see you have used them in several of your videos. :) Course when I was younger I could not figure out why he; my old man had a Sears Craftsman 6 foot by 6 inch wood plane as an OLD SCHOOL master carpenter either. LOL
I have the same Flex handle ratchet you also like in use in my 60 year old man 1995 Ford Ranger Clutch Replacement video on my channel agree like a speed wrench when the bolt/ nut is loose.
Howdy Jeff, The Willys pickup in this video shares the same Bendix-Wagner Lockheed type 4 (self centering) brakes. All Willys wagons and pickups '46-'64 use them. Carl Walck Jeep parts has the cam adjusters and correct lock nuts cheap. Better to replace them than to weld on the nuts and capture the assembly. Grease locknuts with marine grease and don't use vise grips on the adjusters. Love your videos and just want to help. My '59 Studebaker NAPCO 4X4 shared the same brakes too.
That's sort of the way my Yankee wrench man gets a broken bolt out. First he places a washer a tad smaller than the broken off piece and then a nut on top of the washer. Then he welds the nut to the broken bolt and the washer keeps him off the threads of the piece that the bolts broken off in. Works really good too.
if you have issues with audio out of synch with video change playback quality to non-HD. I guess RUclips is having issues with newly uploaded videos. This is nothing Jeff has done and not his fault.
Now, when you said, "You've got an eccentric here...", were you talking about the part on the backing plate or the guy working on the backing plate? ;-)
Why didn't they do something that sensible at the factory ? After all, we know iron never rusts and never ever seizes up. Thanks for the video Jeff. BTW, does Kenny ever smile ? Or did I miss it ?
That was a good fix jeff, the original adjusters looked a bit small and farty lol :-D I hate bloody silly designs, im sure they do it on purpose to cause problems, like the forever changing screw/bolt heads with stupid shapes so not of your tools fit :-(
+zx8401ztv You think that's bad try working on a modern car. Pretty much any make though it has to be said that something French generally seems to have the most interesting problems. Just don't do it if you have problems admitting defeat...
+gosportjamie Peugeot cars seem to have semi numbered/coloured wiring systems, and they dont seem to have any standard. Ive looked at schematics but the colours/numbers dont line up with the actual car, silly buggers lol.

Nice job Jeff. The Panhandle Rag! Thanks for using the tune.
+Rosa String Works 2nd that!

One of my favorites. Right up there with my 31 inch 3/8 extension!

thoroughly enjoy your videos Jeff keep up the good work
Totally digging that Willys Overland, with Duo-Matic front hubs!

I just want Yer channel locks.....and a goat....or two..Thanks Fer the help.
Got goats. Channellocks? When you pry them form my cold, dead fingers... LOL
HAHAHAHAHA
You've got an eccentric here, point of order: I think there are three. Cheers, Andy
+Andy Reynolds You UK guys all think alike!
Just couldn't resist it. Over here it's considered a compliment, and looking at some of my old videos shows that you are not alone. Cheers, Andy
Great repair Jeff .......
My grandfather had a jeep pickup like that one painted gray
Those are some serious water pump pliers, Jeff.
+Howard White Watch adjusters.
+Howard White I got a couple serious water pumps...
Afternoon Jeff. Three eccentrics in one video then 8-)
+Gordon McMillan Only you would come up with that!

+The Shade Tree Fix-it Man
Hey George you resemble that remark.
+MostlymoparIH
Nah, I'm concentric, except for when I am out of round, buy you know I am on the level, because my bubble is in the middle! LOL
Good one but you are in good company I know a guy like that wears a red suit all the time.
Why didn't they do something that sensible at the factory ?
After all, we know iron never rusts and never ever seizes up.
Thanks for the video Jeff.
BTW, does Kenny ever smile ? Or did I miss it ?
Dang Hippie about time you got a hair cut.
I'm still surprised that American vehicles don't often seem to use twin leading shoe drum brake setups...
I've seen some old, rusty, and crusty guys use a wee bit of penetrant but they used more than a wee bit. It would should loosen em up though.
Glad I moved to the desert...NO RUST....I am from Ohio so I know all about rusty parts...Don't miss it....
+Vernon Slone Buckeye myself...
+ElderlyIron What part....
+Vernon Slone Lima
+ElderlyIron Dayton for me...
We bit of penetrating oil? Must be Kroil if it worked that well. As always an enjoyable video.
+chdecoys 10/4 on Kroil!
the best !!
20/8 or a BIG 10/4!
It'll be like new sometime!
Looks like Kenny needs a new vice.
+Timothy Lingo
Yeah he quit smoking so he might have ta take up drinking.
So is this an old video that you just edited or did you get a new cat? (Cryptic reference to the lack of a beard)
What was the yellow thing?
+dfross87
A Willys Jeep pickup maybe a 52.
+MostlymoparIH Thanks. I don't think I've ever seen an old Jeep that didn't have a flat front grill.
Yeah most of them are flat. If you Google you can see it. They had that front end on a Jeepster model also.
Whoa I say! Best in da West!
That was a good fix jeff, the original adjusters looked a bit small and farty lol :-D
I hate bloody silly designs, im sure they do it on purpose to cause problems, like the forever changing screw/bolt heads with stupid shapes so not of your tools fit :-(
+zx8401ztv Really no problem when they're cared for. Like everything else on this truck, it was sorely abused or neglected.

zx8401ztv And it used to be the Italians that got all the stick for their confused spaghetti wiring lol...
+zx8401ztv ACK!! Peugeots! ERK! I worked at a Peugeot dealer once...ONCE!
I saw where your can of spray paint was.
+Military Chevy Get outa my shop!
ElderlyIron I try to keep it clean but you know....
I have no idea why that uploaded twice.?? Lol
Cool
You can get a good haircut taking your old trucks to the inner city restoration shops alright
could you not heat them
+Susan & Roland Paradis Fresh paint.
I thought the "eccentric" was the one talking to the camera,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
5 Dollas for 4 spot welds sheesh
+Peter Mundy That was catch-up for Kenny. He does a lot of quickies for me. Sometimes I just show up with lunch for him.
LOL
Kenny looks to be a grouchy guy, I don't like grouchy guy's like him.
