Great video Kevin
Good one!
Yes definitely what it stands for.
He is as careful and skilled as a Copart auction fork lift driver.
Haha...not everyone will get the joke
That hits a bit too close, especially after recently having to dodge a car shoved at me by an operator who drove twice past the spot i was working at.
Those fork lift drivers are Dangerous. I watch a channel where the gentleman bought a cat that had good tires, but when he went to go pick it up, two of the tires had missive holes in them from the forks.
At least he feels bad about it. The Copart guy.... not so much.
@@dragonslayer19695 I drove forklift for 30 years and I saw guys that shouldn't have been on a tricycle. Not hard to be a safe driver.
I love Mook’s humor. “Welp. It’s not gonna fit on the trailer anymore so can we drive it home?”
Same, Kevin is a dork, Mook is a bigger dork, and they're both wonderful.
I havent watched a lot of this channel yet,but I'm wondering....Mook:..= Girlfriend or annoying younger sister??....lol..
@@richardnoggen1674 they are a couple and are engaged as of a few months ago. Give me a few minutes and I'll find the video for you.
@@ZerotheWanderer Thank you!!!!
Also Mook isnt annoying just differently endearing.
The VIBO is pretty cool. I'm sure eventually it will run great. It's hard to kill an old Wisconsin engine. I'm very happy that you saved it from the scrap pile. It seems like a very useful vehicle with the box on the back of it, and it's a rather unique vehicle.
Get the mechanical stuff in order, put some better off-road tires on it, and re-build/restore the exterior, and it would be a pretty neat run-around for the property. Not sure it would be worth the time and effort to do all that, though.
Vibo was mostly known for making golf carts in the mid 60's, you can find them mentioned in vintage buyers guides for $800 new for 66/67. Unfortunately they were a build-to-order company resulting in impossible to find parts for the majority of the models nowadays. I don't believe anything was produced after the late 60's.
Wowzers
Very much wanted in the golf cart circles. It's a rare enough piece and they do go for good money even for parts.
I got bored and did some looking myself, can’t find anything about the utility carts like they found here, only the ones meant for golfers. Seems like their whole unique selling point at the time was the freewheeling capability and being able to be towed at highway speeds. President was apparently Bob Astley?
The good news, That same engine was part of the "Ditch Witch" models of the same years. Tons of those around.
They were also used for resorts, for moving luggage and cargo to and from the hotel
Honestly that was the most attractive scrap pile I've ever seen.
Man I would have blast ( and make a little change), reviving the tiller, zero turn mower and whatever else was out there!! That's several hundred dollars of worth of cold Coors light and a BBQ to entertain friends!!
@@Daddyrabbit_2 I agree 100%. That rear tine tiller really caught my eye right off the bat.
@@grahammedlock3094 you know all it needs is a carb cleaning
@@Daddyrabbit_2 Right lol ? Exactly!! Those are some tough old machines. I pick them up anytime someone throws them on the curb. I have an old 60's model that I still use in my little garden.
I wanted that other golf cart
MOOK & Kevin ! The Best Team of Junkyard Digs and this video matching cold weather coats.
I've only recently started watching you guys and I love both your sense of humor and the enjoyment you obviously have bringing the stuff back around 👍☮️
JYD take care of your Mook. I had mine for 41years before I lost her, she helped me build 2 street rods and then drive them to rod runs within 1000 miles of home
I haven't had such a good laugh for years! I have a bit of information on this type drive system: It is a Comet type clutch system, and requires a C section drive belt, 1" wide. The wheels and tires are regular golf cart type, commonly sold already mounted. The tires and rims are available from Tractor Supply. Four lug trailer tires use the same pattern, and you can get them at TSC or Hobo Freight. So, If you want to jack it up, just change the tires. Some ATV tires also may fit it easily with the golf cart rims??
As long as you can find the right width you should be able to find a set of atv tires that will fit. I have a machine that was at one point a lawn tractor and i put atv tires on the rear of it.
They definitely need to get the proper belt so that the "clutch" will work
@@madmax2069
Why not to re-build it as a "proper" chain-drive???
Then,they could have the different speeds,as well,is it??
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises because the belt system is working as a clutch, and it's gear ratios.
the transmission only has one forward and one reverse gear. You do away with the belt and go with the chain you will loose the advantage of the CVT aspect of that system.
@@madmax2069
Bummer!!
Congratulations on the new place! The VIBO is pretty cool. It's always nice to see pieces like this brought back. I like the channel and have a lot of fun watching.
Great for hauling stuff around the farm, love it. Needs some mini tractor tires on the drive and a bit more maintenance - what a beauty.
Love it always hated to see those old useful things thrown away. Takes me back to when I was a kid and wanted something like that for yard work lol
I'm croation. I'm going crazy. So many good things. Damn commies...
@@thereissomecoolstuff We have a similar problem in command right now. And all of his co-workers shouldn't be driving tricycles they're so incompetent.
Been having a rough day after my grandma that raised me passed away this morning and this video was just the thing i needed to smile today.
Hang in there Jacob we gotta look for these bright spots. Sorry you lost your dear grandma today
Keep that chin up, friend! Cheers
I like the Vibo. It wouldn't take much to do a spray can/hardware store/ lumberyard resto. Pretty useful and like another commenter said, I hate to see useful things thrown away. Good luck on your new home.
It was amazing seeing the old golf cart come back. It might be handy around your property. Thank you for sharing!
it is always a good friday when JYD uploads
I agree
As a small engine guy this is my kind of episode! Wishing you two many years of happiness in your new place and looking forward to the adventures 😀
That thing actually looks useful! Keep it as a tool/fuel carrier for the 3/4 wheelers, lawn work, etc.
Rebuild the carb, replace all wiring, new voltage regulator, proper size belt and that will be an awesome little rig! I must admit you made my heart hurt when you were grinding the trans to get it in gear! Lol! Great video! Congratulations on the new place!
I like these videos a lot about small engine stuff it is mostly what I work on, keep up the great work!
If you haven’t already, check out Mustie1 here on RUclips. Also a great channel. He has thousands of hours of getting small engines going.
Dude you poor. I only work on v12...indeed i wake up the next morning all sweet but still!
Dude probably doesn't work on shit or even a place TO work on shit! Calling someone poor, lmao 🤣😆😂😂!
Mook’s back!
Instant Smile!
Love her!
Try to solder/braze the steering box crack off with aluminum brazing rods (blue demon or alumiweld for example, those that can be used with a propane torch). Then put a gasket on the cover :-)
Best thing would be to mig weld the crack back, but brazing might just do the trick if you don't have access to a mig welder.
That thing is pretty freaking sweet. Perfect yard rig.
Yeap, a perfectly inconvenient yard rig.
You should restore the bed of this thing, I know it’s not the most beautiful cart but I think it has potential
Why is it that mook makes me think she is the chaos in this (awesome) relationship?
Loved this video, hilarious watching Mook fly around the yard!
Congrats on all the new space! looks lovely!
Congratulations! Love when you guys do just a fun revival...enjoy your new home!
That was fun, and funny, very happy for you guys to have the new place, I hope you are both thrilled. I am facing the evils of moving right now, packing up 40 years of stuff, finding parts for cars I barely remember owning. I am finding tools I don't remember losing, and can't find tools I remember having. It is a real adventure.
Love the name.
E tutu eeeyeereyeeeyeeeyeeer
Love the vibo!! It would be great for hauling wood. Your new place looks great. Congrats!!!
this was so satisfying to see! we always end up taking on massive projects with old cars, its nice to see a project so small that the engine can come out by hand!
After all this time, I'm still amazed at the junk that you and Mook can get running. Enjoyed it!
Vibo is a antique golfcart from the 60's 100% correct
Mook on a Vibo at full throttle on snow covered ground was the best thing I've seen in a while and totally worth all the headache of getting that thing to run.
As always, another wholesome, entertaining, informative ... No really, your channel and your knowledge is awesome. Thank you and Mook for what you do!
I’m convinced he can make anything run at this point, love the videos
At this point I won't be surprised to start seeing "Will it run" on small planes in the future.
@@eslachance that would be really neat to see thinking about it he’s 100% got the skill for it
@@eslachance Watch out Jimmys World (ruclips.net/user/JimmysWorld1)
You sucked up a mouse on your video 30.40 have a look lol ....
Abanonded?
Thats now my new favorite word lol..
No disrespect, love the channel guys! You all work hard and have fun, it shows
Almost made me cry. I love to see old motors work. Old cars, farm stuff and just old stuff. I miss the good old days and love it there are people out there who care enough to bring it all back to life
Very happy for you both on the new place! I hope you have alot of fun!
I love that little vibo. Thank you for gracing the earth with it
Very good "will it run?" video. Nice to see old stuff coming back to life.
I know I'm a year late... but just wanted to say that the VIBO was used as the go-to utility vehicle for golf courses back in the day. I worked as a caddy from 1959--62 in Virginia while in high school. We Would see these gems all around the golf course, carrying tools, lawn supplies, and other stuff for course maintenance and to rescue broken golf carts (and men). They were favored because they were very quiet and efficient, apparently requiring very little maintenance, and were able to zip around somewhere about 30-35 mph. Great memories.
Interesting to see something different than the normal shows, thank you
Mookie mooks is so adorable 😊
Together and twinning! You guys are awesome, love the show!
Finally got around to finish watching this one. Best of luck Kevin to you and Mook with your new property. It’s beautiful and HUGE. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. I love messing around with little engines too. They’re a pain in the ass but oddly satisfying when you get them going. Again best of luck you two and love watching your videos 👍😁
I absolutely positively love the vimo, I never Laughed so much in seeing Mook Riding around in that cart get it going real good that is going to be a lot of fun to have. Welcome home
I laughed until the tears ran down my face at watching Mook ‘tree-dodging’! Great fun. 👍
You need to collab with that dude more often, that was hilarious 😂
Wow -- that new place is HUGE! Lots of land. Awesome! Congrats!
Tire tubes do wonders for those old tubeless tires. Great job rescuing this old VIBO😁👍👍👍
Driving at speed between trees and wheel spinning a Vibo. Heaven!
Good job.
Man you are on a ROLL with all these weird little vehicle finds lately! Can't find this stuff just sitting in a shed or under a lean-to 'round here!
Hi Mark Birmingham uk love the show
That cart looks just like the radio control fire truck from Tom & Jerry! LMAO
And it's a total PILE! 😄
I know it'll probably never happen but kind of think it would be really cool to see you and cars and cameras rebuild this thing it's such a cool piece
Thank you for the view of your new property. When I see that property I remember the video that got me watching your channel where you guys revived an Oldsmobile Delta 88 burgundy and you guys came to a field and were jumping and racing the older Buick and the Delta 88. Those were the days!!!!
Thank you!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Congrats Kevin and Mook on your beautiful new home!! God Bless you two! Love all your vids and humor!
Brilliant fun as always watching you two work on these things...making Mondays bearable. Hope the house move went well, and looking forward to more content over the coming year.
Is there anything Kevin can't get running?
My grandpa and I really enjoyed this video! I am probably one of you youngest fans since I am 15 years old! You should do more imports like british sports cars and stuff like that. I have a 1969 opel GT That I am doing a very budget restoration on. Your videos of all the cars in the barns were really cool!
Great video. This little thing has some great potential around your place though. Longer belt, some ATV tires on the back and I'd change the throttle to one controlled by your left foot for fun and confusion. The new place looks great. Any plans to build a shop and move everything into the back yard instead of driving to town?
I am so excited it's been awhile also I love these small engine vehicles that give knowledge that is more usable to people who want to get into working on things
I'm convinced at this point you were just destined to find that vibo since it's unique and cool like you guys. Definitely think yall need to keep it and pimp it out to be the new parts cart
Thanks for the ride Mook. Nice work to get it to run.
Loved seeing the junkyard back in junkyard digs! Can't wait for the new content, just keep close to your roots. Revive stuff with a lotta fun along the way.
Mook personality is everything she always cracks me up with her goofiness every time I watch em😂🤣
She's also amazing, and, in my honest opinion, A FRIGGIN BOMBSHELL CATCH! He's definitely a lucky fella to find such a beautiful woman who has similar interests and sense of humor 😍💜
Your videos are so much better with the two of you together ❤
Springer Auction is my family! They used to do farm and old homes full of antiques. I remember visiting as a kid and we would get to go through some of the stuff it was a blast as a kid seeing all the antique treasures.
I'm happy that you guys have been successful in your venture. You have a good mix here; lots of technical advice but also humor and entertainment. Mook is a hoot, so hang on to her. Well done!
I for sure see you fixing this to be very reliable for yard work
Congratulations on the new Home Kevin and Mook @Junkyard Digs
I... Mook scares the hell out of me for some reason. Love your content, and love when she tags in for some fun.
The rusty knife brandish expression? Am I the only one who would probably have taken a few steps back?
Hehe. Don't stop!
Judging by that end result, I'd say it's a Very Intense Belt Obliterator 🤣 Definitely a hoot to watch this though, and congrats on the new home, it seems like you have an awesome playground there and plenty of room to store a few more limousines! Also, Happy New Year and all that 😊
Love the Vibo, reminds me of my grandpas 3 wheeled Harley powered golf cart he had when I was a kid, had a blast cruising the woods in it, hauled firewood to the house and brought him cold snacks when peeling popple.
I used to maintain and repair a whole fleet of personnel carts like these, among a whole bunch of other equipment when working at the old Ford saline plant. Can't believe they scrapped most of them just before I left that company. I almost cried.
This thing is awesome! It reminds me of every small engine machine I own, only kinda sorta runs when it wants to.
You and Mook make any engine revival fun and entertaining! I learn so much about engines and ignition systems while enjoying the content at the same time! I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for 2022!
Shop is looking absolutely stacked right now! Especially with the Vibo stanced up in the front
Finally I watched this episode. Good call Kevin on the Vibo, but as usual, got to love the Mook !
I was almost going to subscribe when I saw you restoring that little yard truck, but then heard you grinding the gears right out of the box because you wouldn't pause the video and go get the correct length belt, or adjust the motor an inch or two closer to the gearbox so the belt you had would work fine and release correctly. You went from Macgyver to Whistlin'Diesel in one episode, destroyed what could've been fun. Why did you even spend time fixing the tires and steering then? You ground those tiny gearbox gears into metal shavings. Glad you got a good laugh out of it.
Great work, love seeing these old contraptions running again. Now with a little more power and knobby tires. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
That was a fun one. Can't wait to see what you have for the new place, it looks awesome :D
Enjoyed the video. I like it when you dive into something fun and different once in a while.
Neat little cart, I like all the content y'all upload, can hardly wait to see more of them car revivals prior to the move,
Happy for you two and your new place. Keep up the great work!
Loved this video. The new house with a "racetrack" should add to a lot of really fun videos. Glad to see Mook back. Looking forward to some more videos.
Reviving means more than just getting it temporarily working!
It's always cool to see you and Mook working together
And wearing the same flannel
love your vids! not sure why it only shows 360p quality though
I thought it was a fluke but nope, still 360 :/
Love it when mook swings by love ya heckers !
This makes me wish I had paid attention when I was a kid & my Dad always tried to teach me small engine repairs. 🙄💯
I love how these older motors just need to be cleaned up, even if It didn't run great it just shows things are not built to last anymore. You got a new subscriber.👍👍
Hey guys 👋, awesome to see you out and about. Mook look like she was having fun 🤣. Hope you keep it around 👍👋
This has mustie1 all over it, someone who appreciates "junk"
Loved watching this video 🙂
36:56 - all sorted and ‘should’ be good…the smoke coming from the exhaust, spoiler alert! 🤣
I am amazed that starter generator still worked that well. I’ve never found one that functioned after being abandoned
Missed you guys!! Always a lovely and fun video. Btw congrats on your recent move. Be safe and have fun!!
More videos like this it’s funny af
Great video, fun revival😀👏😂
Happy new year and congrats with new place🥳
Gotta love the matching coats on Kevin and Mook. Such lovely lovebirds!
