Really gonna name it jackass name like that? I lost a s*it ton of respect for you matt.
Enjoy the building matt. I'm out.
Hello diesel Creek
I like that big army trucks
Name a truck after a kid with Asperger's that loves the environment. F*ckin despicable IMO. I'm sure your mother is so proud dude.
I love the shop videos, dont see why people would have problems with that. The fact that you do different things on the channel is one of the features I like.
Matt don’t ever stop the shop building videos till you think it’s to a stage where you feel it’s goood enough to get back to repairing stuff
Love you’re work keep up the good work
Hey fellow Deuce owner. The head gaskets are known to fail on these so the compression test will tell you a lot. It's a pita but not bad to get the improved gaskets for them. The bearing seals will be done so you need to do those. Again not too bad and kia makes them because the south korean army makes these new. I think it is called the k250. The o rings on the injection pump go bad so those can also cause a hard start. Also look into a remote reservoir for the master cylinder. It saves you so much time and is fairly easy to install. Get rid of the vents on the axels and do remote lines to each. That will prevent you from blowing bearing seals. You can't clean them enough for them not to fail. I see you have the cold start ether bottle. Get a replacement for that and you don't need to shoot it with the can. It only engages under 40 degrees. Also you can do spin on conversions for all of those filters that should make all of that a trip to napa and not have to deal with all the housings. I've had mine for about 12 years and have thousands of miles on it. They are fine trucks if you just get the military filters out of them. Also, look into lockouts for the front axel. It changes how they drive completely.
Do you have the Sprague type transfer case? If so I'd say the lockouts are almost an absolute necessity! I have the air shift transfer case and I'm not sure what difference it would make for me as the front end is free spinning. I shopped around till I found one with the air t case and a smile (with winch).
The spin on filters are definitely better and the vent lines for the axles is a good idea as long as those are secured well so they don't get easily snagged and pulled off. The vents are definitely a pita to keep clean and requires a lot of time and work to do so anytime that truck gets mud over the axles.
Guess the South Koreans like real trucks. I'm not a fan of the cabovers we have now. The Deuce was so much cooler. One day I'll own one and bob it, probably run 54" tires like everyone else.
@@ChevyConQueso I wouldn't recommend the bobbing... it completely ruins the truck for anything other than a pavement queen. The engine is far too heavy to get rid of that much weight on the tail. They literally struggle on a gravel hill. If you go the route of tracking down a bluebird bus transmission adapter you can run any 90 degree chevy v8 and the drivability offroad is much better. For me the whole reason for buying a deuce was the 12ft bed and multifuel engine. Just 2 cents from a long time owner.
this guy deuces
Just thought of something you can probably add later to the shop. A exhaust extraction tube and fan. Much like those in fire-stations that you can hook over the exhaust tip of a vehicle and start a fan to pull all the smoke and soot, whatever outside the shop don't soot up the white walls.
Capital Idea there, Watson.
The build up to the shop has been great. If anyone doesn't like the content, they can watch something else until the shop is done. I have enjoyed it immensely. Keep up the good work.
Totally agree....
They are sick of the shop building videos????? WTF do they live under a rock? They are obviously the 90% of the arseholes who can’t be bothered to hit the like button. Video mooches! Pay no mind to those nah sayers Matt. The variety of your videos is your “shtick” man - rock on. As for the engine - 1) how is the oil level (ie is fuel getting past the rings?) 2) take out the injectors and if u have a shop (or some farmers have them) have the spray pattern checked 3) compression test, maybe, a leak down test would be better. 4) while on the cylinders you must have a wee camera you can put down the cylinders to check out the cylinder walls. To conclude - KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. The DL’s can pound sand. Take care.
The best content ever
Same ..👍👍
Honestly tho! Hope he puts a 1 ton crane in there
I wish more people would be patient with the shop building videos. It is necessary for you, Matt, in order to continue to make videos (and better videos). What a blessing the shop is for you! I am excited to see you finishing it and for more regular content too.
Exactly and I couldn’t say it in a nicer way myself.
Very satisfying to see you pulling things into the shop now. The Detroit Diesel recently and now this. You earned it.
We ran into issues when we switched to the silicon brake fluid because of the rubber of the wheel cylinder and master cylinder cups swelling up. The truck should have a data plate stating what brake fluid is used. I did 21 years in the military in vehicle maintenance. That was when these were new trucks.
The shop building videos are just as interesting as the mechanical jobs. Keep up the great work.
Hi Matt, we all love the diesel revival content, but I have enjoyed the shop building videos! Never hurts to learn about new/other things. As always, thanks for bringing us along!! J.W.
I liked watching the shop build, it's all part of the development you've managed over the years :)
The reason the primary filter originally was shorter was to allow water to fall to the bottom of the filter to be drained out. Water was a big problem and diesel fuel in Vietnam.
We use these trucks in wild land firefighting operations here in WY. A tip from a guy who has worked on them for awhile is to replace the fuel filter under the generator with a spin on filter housing. It will save you a lot of headache in the future. Also you can get adapters for the oil filters to make them spin on, saves making a large mess. Great video as always.
Thats what I would do since it's easy to get a wrench on from underneat, vs that top bolt
I have a filter base around here somewhere from a white tractor that used this engine. It takes spin on oil filters.
I do think my town has one
I used a Trans-Dapt kit to relocate my oil filter. You could not do an oil change without filling the crossmember and steering rack with oil.
See them all the time up near Sheridan. Really cool trucks and enjoy seeing them have another job after military purposes. Know quite a few people in and around Casper that own these privately and use them for camping rigs, project runners, etc. Love these trucks to death, and wished I could own one.
Matt we watch your channel because of you! Shop, brakes, ditch digging whatever your project we will watch. If some don't like them let them find something else to entertain themselves. The vast majority of your fans are 100% loyal fans and will stick with you through thick and thin. I also like all of the shop videos and always, let me repeat I always, find something entertaining and educational with everyone of them. Keep the faith and looking forward to the next one no matter what the content is! Take care!
Those complaining must be newcomers or completely unaware of the church project....
The shop build has been my favourite series? You carry on doing whatever you feel like doing, it's your channel
I enjoy the shop building content. I've been taking the ride with you and I want to see how fast along it goes. Keeping us posted is alright with me. It was the reason I ran across your channel in the first place. Can't please everyone. Keep doing what you have been doing
I recommend building an extraction system for your workshop. With every engine start, the beautiful white walls become darker and darker. Seen at Welker Farm. And it would be better for your health too. All you need is a hose with a fan that is attached to the exhaust.
Yes. As soon as Matt mentioned starting the truck inside, we thought of how the exhaust fumes would dirty the nice new walls and ceiling. Not to mention the health aspect. Diesel fumes are very hazardous to one’s health; especially the lungs.
Vehicle Exhaust Ventilation Systems
I was gonna suggest the same thing when I saw him crank up that truck inside the shop and it blew out a huge cloud of black smoke. I think you can also get some that have O2 sensors installed in them so you can tell if the vehicle you're working on is running rich or lean.
@@sneakypress They are not toxic at all unless its a closed in room where you gas yourself with the fumes.
@@bladezfigaro2027 26:06
Complainers aren't rolling in the mud with you in the heat, cold, and rain. They don't count! Setting your shop up to be more productive is entertaining and very informative ... I bet the complainers get mani/pedi's and sparkling water and never wear out their deodorant.
I'm always looking for your videos and I don't fast-forward or skip. Thanks for a great job!
Well put man!
Some of us found out early, that kneeling in a foot of semi frozen mud for half a day handing tools to a half drunk crane driver is not a really fun way to make a living. But watching other people doing it is great. Personally the shop build is dull because I spent my life doing similar.
@@CrimeVid Were you good at it or was it just a job? You kinda sound like one of the complainers and you have no appreciation for someone else who enjoys what you did begrudgingly. Kinda sad.
I think this is the first time I've commented on one of your videos. Just stopping by to say I really enjoy the shop build videos, and 100% support you posting the story of its construction, and subsequent progress. Looking forward to the next in the series. Keep it up!
Safety tip @ 3:29 see that little loop hook on the cowl of the truck? It’s so you can latch the hood open and prevent the hood from seriously injuring or killing you while under the hood. Don’t ask me how I learned 😅
I don’t know about anyone else but the shop is a very big part of your business being able to repair vehicles in a nice clean environment so keep working on the shop with videos as for me I love them. 😀👍👍👍👍👍👍
The Tactical Repair Channel is a great source of info on these M35A2 trucks too. Great job Matt.
I watched the 22b rescue this morning, amazed at how a small gas pony started the big diesel, as a lifelong gas engine/car mechanic and hobbyist its cool as hell learning about these old pieces of equipment and how they work, one of the best YT channels out there Diesel Creek, cheers!!
I really like the shop building videos. I know what it will mean to future projects. A warm dry place to work is important where you live.
Looking forward to more duce and a half videos. I'd love to see it running and happy.
My favorite videos are the auction videos, but understand there just ain't that many auctions, and you have a lot of projects on the waiting list already.
Whatever you do I seem to find interesting. I like your channel, & other diesel and car sites. I'm 70, and believe I've rebuilt my last vehicle. I do have a 5kw generator that needs attention. That's more my speed now days. If it doesn't fit on the bench, I ain't working on it.😜
I for one like the shop build videos. This has become one of my favorite channels. Your can do attitude is inspirational. No job is too big or too hard for Matt.
I agree. I enjoy the shop build videos. I would really like to see Matt to do some bodywork, sand blasting, and painting on his fleet of senior trucks and tractors. Shine those old girls up! 😉
Just for the record, I love shop building videos and I love wrenching content. No complaints here. I personally hate doing hydraulics of any kind, but watching you comb through a system gives me a bit more knowledge to apply to my own stuff.
Matt, when you install the filter gasket, tuck it into the groove at quarter points before you jam it into the groove. The way you did it stretched it out. The quarter point tuck prevents elongation.
Aloha Matt. When cracking a bleeder valve, put some grease completely around the base of the bleeder valve at the threads. That will seal up the bleeder valve threads and improve the air extraction process. You see a lot of bubbles in the clear tubing when using the vacuum pump, and lots of that is air that has seeped into the tubing and coming in around the threads on the bleeder valve. The alternative would be to use a pressure bleeding system, then you will know for sure when all of the air in the system has been removed.
The struggle is real when bleeding brakes especially with a bonus axle.
the shop building episodes are at least equally great as all the other adventures you show us!
keep them coming as long as it takes :)
I agree, I like it all 😀✌❤
Thanks, will do!
Great video! You mentioned near the end that many were tired of shop building videos. I totally disagree, I love seeing the shop come together!! Always interested to see how metal shop buildings go up and the modifications everyone makes to increase the building's usefulness. Keep them coming!
He meant usefulness
He knows because the stats show that we all fast forwarded through them.
nobody cares about the shop, I'm here to see old junk come back to life.
@@bige.3474
Yeah I can't speak for others, but the skipping on my end is entirely beyond my cognitive control.
I just don't like watching that kinda stuff, I'm not a construction guy, I don't like construction, but out of necessity still do enough of it IRL that I don't find it the least bit enjoying on RUclips.
I watch a few bits on it here because I'm happy for the guy and wanna give it at least a little time, of course he should get to upload shop building videos.
It's not that I hate the channel, I just genuinely don't like watching construction stuff on RUclips, in most cases it's instant skip or pass.
@@AA-sq1xz I enjoy seeing the shop come together so I guess you're wrong when you say nobody cares. 😁
I have shop envy! Keep up with all the content please Matt, be it shop, projects, auctions or whatever. It’s entertaining and a pleasure to watch. And I still want one of these trucks too! Thank you.
Andre....love your shop I have been looking at your work since you started cleaning for the shop I wish I was your age again, at 84 I'm forced to slow down but not stop,keep up the good work ...
sometimes i throw an old blanket or something under the area i am working on = especially on the grass = helps me find parts = also always have a magnet on my tool box = good job thank`s MATT !
Maybe a extractor system would suit your shop quite well, to get all the exhaust stuff outside. Would also have the added benefit of not having to open the garage doors during winter time.
There not very hard to build either i used a old blower from a furnace, and metal duct work probably have less than 100 bucks in mine and and it handles a smoky old 8v71 just fine
Matt, I for one Can’t wait for MORE shop build content! Want to see the crane get installed as well as the boiler. Thanks for the great videos.
Coming soon!
Love your videos Matt! I drove the M35 many thousands of miles back in the '80s. I always loved the sound. They allows ran had at the start of trips but after an hour or so at speed, they'd smooth out and run like tops. They just beat you to death seating on those hard seats! It looks to be in really good shape and will be worth saving. Hopefully it's not a major issue with the engine. There is bound to be a good old motor sergeant around that can help you work out the issues.
when i was in ,working on the duece, we used what we called a brake bomb to bleed the brakes,as for the running and hard starting ,i would agree that it might be a head gasket blown.U.S.Army 79 to 83.
The growl from the exhaust, the whistle and whine from the turbo.. man that thing is sweet!!
The truck is a great project as long as you can get parts. We used to go to the military auctions and find pallets full of random “new” parts. I didn’t miss how smooth the road on the property must be, you were hammering the truck with a military stiff suspension. Well done! I also enjoy the shop videos, If you didn’t show the progress as you go along, people would also complain. You started this channel with your ideas and look what happened, success! Thanks Matt, I’ll always watch what you feel like filming.
NOS, new old stock.
Greetings from Canada Matt, I am not a diesel or heavy equipment guy by any means. However I was just fascinated by your two videos about this beautiful army transport truck.
So having just spent an hour and a half or so watching and really enjoying the content , I guess now I am a convert. Really enjoy your approach to problem solving and had a good laugh at how your currently starting the truck. The reason being living in Canada during the cold winters I used to have to start my old 70’s and 80’s gas cars the same way using a product called QuickStart .You had to make sure you didn’t put your face over the carburetor as you usually got a foot high flame for a brief second lead to a few singed eyebrows. Looking forward to seeing more videos on this beautiful old gal...
Love the shop build videos, know how important is to you too. Keep making them along with the other great stuff you do 😀👋🇬🇧
I would temporarily put a modern temp sender and gauge. Check compression, might as well clean the injectors. Put your eyeballs under them valve covers. Flush the coolant. Can have a blockage causing a local overheat while the rest of the motor is OK. That is actually what I think is happening. One or more cylinders are overheating.
It’s hard to beat a video from diesel creek on a Saturday 👌can’t wait to watch this one
The building of the shop has been awesome, you have shown me a few ideas that I hadn't and probably wouldn't have thought of as I am getting ready to put up a new garage/shop. Thank you so much for the journey (however, I enjoy seeing the relics coming back to life again as I am one also . lol)
You're bringing back a lot of memories of driving and working on these in the 80s. I had a buddy at Ft. Hood who bought one of these with the bed full of parts at the auction on post. We used to load up and cruise 6th street in Austin. Good times! On a side note, they respond well to double clutching.
I actually think it was a fair amount of progress . Went from dead in a field to running and driving That's decent progress in my opinion
Hey Matt, on Jim's Automotive Machine Shop there is a diesel tractor that seized up and then started again when cooled down. It had other symptoms that your Deuce has too. It was caused by the injection pump timing being too far advanced and causing the piston tops to overheat.
Great videos!
" how bad can it be ? " he says. Gotta admire your unwavering optimism my friend. Big respect from NJ.
The shop building videos have been very interesting. Can't wait to see how you build out the inside and that crane will be amazing
Matt, on some models, the LDS multi-fuel Continental diesels have variable injection timing so the engine can be optimized for the fuel being burned ie: jet fuel all the way to near crude oil. The symptoms you are experiencing, hard starting, white smoke, low power, overheating, all could be a injection pump timing issue. Check to see if your engine has the variable timing feature and learn how to set it for standard diesel fuel operation. Just a thought. Love the channel and just got my Diesel Creek shirt in the mail. Carry on!
I was thinking that injection timing is the issue, looks like very late injection. You verified it
I second this....I've only worked on British army multi fuel vehicles- but they too had pump rack settings for the different fuels. It wouldn't take much for the uninitiated trying to get more 'power' to 'adjust' to the wrong settings giving you all the issues shown...
This is an LDT engine and it regulates the fuel by the FDC, not variable timing. I've heard of the variable timing on some models but I've never seen one on a deuce with a LTD engine. I'm guessing he's got an injector or two that's not working properly.
The pump has different timing match and different timing on the engine for different configurations of this engine. Get the 35 manual for information. FDC does compensate for fuel density. Some had turbos and others did not.
@@toddk1377 my deuce acted the same way. For me it was small fuel leaks along with bad filters. Under load the injection pump would pull more fuel than the lift pump could push through the bad filters. The result was air in the system that made it run like garbage. A quick way to see if this is the problem is just adding another in line pump to boost the fuel feed. If the problem goes away you found the culprit. If it doesn't then the injectors or injection pump would both be good places to start.
That workshop is looking brilliant Matt, well done.
Hello Matt,You should've had a pipe vent right there in the wall. That way, the smoke would go out through the pipe & vent on the outside of the wall
Always loved running the deuce through the gears back in my Air Force days. She sounds so good.
Silicone spark plug grease works like a charm on those gaskets like that. I use it all the time, especially for my oil filter gaskets. It doesn't harden up and doesn't let the rubber bake onto the boss. Obviously, you don't want to squeeze a whole tube into it, but just a light coat is just the trick!
It is interesting to see you travel the whole journey on this channel. Building the shop is part of that journey. I am fascinated to see things come together and to see just how much work you are doing. I for one am happy to see shop building videos woven in to the content and will continue to follow with interest.
hell yeah!
Love the sound of those big Diesels.
I drove a 2.5 ton ( Deuce) US Army truck many times in the Army in 1959, and almost every morning, when cold it wanted some Ether to get started. it was normal to use Ether in order to help start one of them... i spent 20+ years in the Army and retired.. 84 years old now.
These old military trucks have a sound all to themselves. Takes me back…
We made memories with those deuce and Half and 5 tons.
Early memory from boot camp at Fort Dix, laying in the rack, in the middle of the night and the whistle of those trucks in the distance
Steel soldiers is a great resource for anything you want to know with these trucks. If you got a problem, someone else has already had it and asked it on there.
We got our m35 off a guy on there that had a couple, he told us that they were built to be beaten, sometimes you just gotta take them out and give it the beans to get the rings just right if its been sitting a while. We will leave ours sit over the winter, service it in the spring, give it a good 30 mile highway run with some atf/sae30 in the fuel tank and she'll run like a dream. Another thing is keeping your air pack oiled. thats one people forget about a wonder where their brakes went.
Great job Matt! Keep going and satisfying results will come!👍
Great watching you grow in your repairing of old Equipment and new garage turn out great
As a Carpenter, I love seeing Operators figure building stuff out. LOL!
The shop build videos are good stuff. I wanna see how you are going to get the overhead crane installed. That's gonna be THE video to watch.
Matt, you should invest in some of those exhaust hoses they use in automotive shops and run them out the door(s). Maybe even have a pass-through in the walls where you can plug them in and vent to the outside like a dryer vent :D
Also, should name it Burt. Then you can go hunting Graboids.
"Burt" is a great idea but "Greta" is such a dig on the eco-warriors that it fits perfectly.
I thought the same thing about exhaust hoses,maybe through opening in roof/ Would keep the inside sheet metal a bit cleaner. But it is a shop :)
@@jonathanstancil8544 I'm just biased because Burt Gummer had one of these in Tremors 2 :D
Shop videos are great! That's how I found your channel. Love the repair videos too, learning a lot about big equipment.
Yep love the shed progression! I saw things that I wish I’d done and some we did different. Good stuff sir!
Hi;
I find the shop progress videos to be interesting and informative so far.
Obviously a lot of thought went into the planning and execution, so I don't mind following along to the conclusion of the build.
I have learned a lot from your mechanical videos as well, and slowly came to the realization that I too could challenge myself to be a bit bolder when tackling the unknown where it comes to hydraulics or diesel
workings.
Your love and respect for older machinery is also a good thing, and entertaining to view.
Michael Rzewuski
Next item to install in the shop: exhaust extraction system. Prevents dirty walls and you getting lung diseases.
Btw: I always put a thumbs up, and the rare cases I forget it, I go back and correct that. Most videos I watch more than once, so no problem. Love your content, especially the variety. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Ha!!! Helped my son build a big shed workshop (well, handed him stuff anyhow) and within a year-full to the gills with boats, ATVs and other outdoor toys.
Murphy’s Law-junk multiplies to fill the space available.😊
Awesome build series
Love all the hard work
Great content
Lesson learned: You have to establish some kind of ventilation (or exhaust out pipe system) to the shop
I wonder how much a firehouse style exhaust system would cost 🤔
Leave the roll up doors open
Thanks for the great video, take no notice of the workshop moaners, I love all your video and I ALWAS click the like button!!
Why don’t you wear coveralls/overalls to keel your clothes clean , Matt.
I’m an ex-mechanic and know the dangers (cancer)of mineral and cutting oils on your skin.
Keep these great video coming 🥰👏👏👏👏👌
Gable end exhaust fans would work.
@@mikewheeler3435 he did leave them open the issue is high roof does not allow proper ventilation as others said he needs vents up high
I love the building content. Do whatever you choose Matt! There’s always be people who’ll watch if you keep doing what you do: keep showing us what you’re up to as you chase your dreams and live your passion!
Hi keep up the good work I love to see old equipment being worked on and see it running again
I like ALL your videos. Especially your work ethic and patience.
Sometimes defining the size, style, and extent of problems counts as huge progress. Perhaps the previous owner had fears about issues that might be coming up, you are the guy to sort them out, tenacious and driven. Two good things to have, add in capable, and you are off to a great start.
I love the shop building videos . I also love the vehicle stuff as well . I can’t wait to see you install the overhead crane .
Baptized the new shop the right way. 👍 Awesome stuff. That Continental turbo whistle is awesome.
If Matt ever paints his Hummer olive drab, he'd have the beginning of a military convoy. (!)
Nothing wrong with shop videos. That being said, the people that are of working trades work all week. Most do not want to see the work they do on the weekends. Having a break from work is very nice. Most mechanics do not watch other mechanics in their spare time with the exception of diagnostics. I am not complaining of the hard work you do, and we are privileged that you offer us entertainment. Thank you for brining us along on the adventures with you.
I restored a 1941 M2A1 Half Track and it is also much smaller than folks realize. It's about the same length as your Duece and a Half. I really enjoy working on old military equipment. Simple and NO computers!!! 😆 Enjoy your channel and keep up the great work!!
Fyi......my half track's name is Bertha.
the shop material is some of your best - keep showing us.
Great video, the shop looks great. Grateful to see you're getting that Duce & quarter straightened out. Go Army 🇺🇸
You need one of those exhaust hoses like fire stations have for their big diesel vehicles. Basically a kitchen fume extractor but with a big sock to fit over the exhaust stack. Your lungs will appreciate it and the walls will stay clean for longer.
You got plenty accomplished! Can’t wait for parts 2 and 3!
this was part 2
Love how the drivir's view video shows how much play is in the steering wheel.
Love the shop build content. Keep it up.
Can't believe what I hear that You Tubers have to put up with from viewer's. I'm just glad you are providing content and entertainment ! Keep up the great work ! And as you said...... Being able to do what you do inside a shop, instead of outside or that tiny garage, has got to be a joy ! It has been great watching the shop come together. All the ideas I would do. A few companies that I worked for had sensors in the entrance aprons to detect moisture and turned on the radiant heat so the were clean when it snowed. That was a nice feature.
Keep your content coming and can't wait to see your house rise near Diesel Creek !
👍🏻
AMEN to that. YT content providers need to have thick skin unfortunately. It's great to see that guys like Matt actually read the comments. But there is a find line between a comment that is constructive, and one that needs to just piss off.
Looks like you could use an exhaust removal system if you’re gonna be starting vehicles in the shop!
I'm really enjoying the shop build tbh it's something different, Im really lookin forward to watching the content in filling the shop up and how your Guna organise the workshop I think that would be a great vid as everyone likes there own set up.
I would have checked Sparks, Fuel Systems, Air systems, fluids, before starting. That's just me and my finances. You show me different ways to diagnose. Thanks for your video, You show me A LOT to consider . . .
My husband is an ex Australian army engineer, he gives you verbal advice while we view. Cracks me up! Keep doing what you’re doing, we love it all.
I'm in Sydney and my wife said who you talking to ? I love Matt's efforts .cheers mate.
Hearing that Army truck run brings back many memories of my Army days, lord what a glorious sound!
This video was great! I love seeing you have the kind of problems I experience, thanks!
When I joined the army in 1984 all of the equipment was in this state of repair. maybe half of the vehicles actually ran. The build up to take on the Soviets got us all new vehicles.
Can’t wait to see how you get that overhead crane inside and installed
Matt, those screws that you took out are actually called Philister head screws. The ones on the pump itself , under the lock wire, are really buggered up.
Fillister head
Looking forward to seeing the crane being installed in the shop. Big job.
Good to see ya in the new shop!
Just keep on posting like you are. Building a shop, grading a road, wrenching on stuff. I learn something from all of it. You're telling your story by showing us all that you do. The sound from that whistling deuce is mechanical music. You think maybe that inspired the Ford Powerstroke whistle?
an extraction for an exhaust so that the soot smoke is discharged to the outside would not be wrong. for your own health and that the workshop will not be completely black inside. ow and i always gif a thumbs up 🙂 and i like also the bulding vidios, all one in a packit lol
I enjoyed the shop building series, and would actually like more detail on some of the fitments and such (like the area where the poles/concrete/sheet metal meet and overlaps and such). I'm researching/planning pole barns hoping to build my own and appreciate seeing what you've done. Although Florida seems to have a lot more hoops to jump through... :/
