    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.

    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 ?

    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.

    • @mostlymoparih5682
      @mostlymoparih5682 8 лет назад

      Yeah most of them are flat. If you Google you can see it. They had that front end on a Jeepster model also.

    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 :-(

    • @ElderlyIron

      +zx8401ztv Really no problem when they're cared for. Like everything else on this truck, it was sorely abused or neglected.

      +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...

      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.
