Sometimes details show some unsolved mysteries. Fitting this new buggy body to the undercarriage reveals that this body may not have been designed for this gear. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles often takes us down unsolvable mysterious paths that we may never find the answers to. Events often affect these vehicles, and changes are made, and we may never know how or why. I'm thinking this is the case with this buggy restoration project. This week, and next week, start to show some telltale signs that something is amiss.
Thanks to everyone for your support.

THE OLD SAYING) you cannot teach a old dog new tricks ? I have worked with building materials up until now at 69 year of age I just learned how to center a paddle bit in a hole that needs to be drilled bigger. Thank you Mr. Engels

@graybeard1952 3 года назад

Freakin' genius. I was wondering "what's with the dowel???"

@jeffwisemiller3590 3 года назад

Try it with a hole saw! Especially on something like teak or mahogany. Make a form or keep the hole from the form, either way depending on the circumstances. Screw the form or hole down as a guide & away you go, yeah!

That old mowing machine brings back memories of mind numbing boredom with the occasional fright when a flock of pheasants would take off just ahead of it. And some really bad cases of sunburn on my arms and neck...

@tpniefer 3 года назад

My brother broke the handle off a manure fork, then stabbed it into the ground with the intention of retrieving it later which never happened. Of course the hay grew up hiding the broken fork. Eventually Pop goes out with the side mower to mow the hay and you guessed it. Things were a bit tense on the farm that day.

@paulfanning7059 3 года назад

I remember stopping a 6 bottom land plot to avoid running over a family of killdeer, momma running in circles with a ‘broken wing’ and 5 or 6 tiny puffballs running around her. Of course, they eventually run into the unturned sod and so were right back in front of me after a single up and down on the field. Must have put an extra 50 hours on the clutch stopping that plough and then getting it moving again.

@waynespyker5731 3 года назад

I always kept an eye out for a rabbit nest or young pheasants with my Ford 9N and 501 mower. The tractor having many pre-owners exhibited a flattened grille with both side hinges fractured from pushing hay wagons up barn hills. Working on a Saturday afternoon sunburn I heard a metallic sound, I had just run over the grille forming a clam shell as the hinges finally fractured. I bought a poor replacement (Chinese welded flat rods and panels) but never installed until I could get a proper replacement with the vertical vee crown down to the proper paint color from Dennis Carpenter. This series is coming down to you have turned into the Buggy Street Rodder of Montana by the masterful marriage of quality components!

@theoldbigmoose 3 года назад

My Uncle had a contract with the township in PA to mow the sides of the roads back when I was 14. (now pushing 70) I spent many an hour on the ol' H mowing those roads in the sun with that mower! Such good memories!

@chuckthebull 3 года назад

Wonderful seeing this buggy transformed ... I really appreciate your skills and creative solutions and always learn a bit or two...I have a 1962 British sunbeam that had a very week transmission. I put in a 1980s W58 Toyota 5 speed that i retrofitted to it by cutting the bell housing by spinning it around on a drill press with a metal cutting disk in it set to high speed (surprisingly accurate) and then welding up a plate to accommodate the new trans to the original engine with a custom clutch and drive shaft made locally..I also welded up the original shifter to the Toyota unit to have it come out the same place inside the car.. I can now drive highways speeds without worry and have for 8 years on long trips with no problems at all,. But someone is going to be very confused when i sell it ...HA!

@jeffwisemiller3590 3 года назад

There are people who are specialists in 1 certain area & then there's Mr. Engels. Having built carriages of every size, shape & manufacturer, he can recognize which pieces came from where & how they can be reassembled. Sort of like trying to make a Frankenbuggy but in a good way.

I went back and watched the restoring of the undercarriage -- Oct of 2018. For some reason I didn't watch it at the time. Very sophisticated setup, compared to the wagons you've been making or fixing since then. Fitting that it should be episode 0 of this buggy story.

@thirzapeevey2395 3 года назад

Clever way of hanging those rollers on a side spring. I haven't seen that done. Yes, it certainly will flip you over. The front wheels on mine were a bit small, and the roller hit high on the tire. It wanted to tip even with the roller, although I did learn that if you turned fast enough with no load on the back, you could drift the back end and that helped. I think you are right about that being two wagons put together. I think that might have been the equivalent of an old work truck that someone put a different motor in to keep it going. Might also explain him ditching the top. He didn't want a top in the way for hauling milk cans to town, and that is all he wanted the old "truck" for.

Brings to mind a certain Johnny Cash song about a Cadillac😉. I’m sure your wagon will look more professionally assembled though 😊.

As always, thank you for documenting, saving, and sharing your trade with the world😊

@tomoakhill8825 3 года назад

I am 70. Been building in wood all my life. I knew those carriage bolt from the time before I was in Kindergarten. I knew that were called that because they were used in carriages. I have used 10,000 over my lifetime. I just told my wife, before reading Thermal Reboot's comment, that I am finding it so disturbing to see a carriage bolt being used to construct a carriage. I never expected to see them used this way. It is just upsetting to my emotions to see carriage bolts used on, well, a carriage.

@tomoakhill8825 3 года назад

I just used a paddle bit on some expensive hardwood, to build a piece of furniture. I drilled through a block glued onto the edge of a board. The goal was to come out centered in the edge of the board. I succeeded four out of four times, drilling freehand. Am am the same age as Rodney Wroten. Lots of experience.

I've been watching your videos for quite some time, and I always find them to be very interesting and educational. I'm impressed by your knowledge, ingenuity, and skills, but the most impressive thing is the patient way you respond to (and solve) problems. I would be cursing and pulling my hair out. You're setting a great example for how we can deal with life's ups and downs, and so after every video I feel a little bit better prepared for everything that life throws at me: remain calm, get a clear understanding of the problem, consider my options, choose the best one, and proceed step by step. Thank you for taking the time to make and post these videos. They're unlike anything else I've seen on RU-vid, and the world would be a poorer place without them.

Hi Dave ☺, thanks for another interesting video, and yes your quite right about older vehicles of all types being marriages of bits and bobs of others to keep them going , we call them a liquorice all sort, lol. I smiled when you used the dowel to centre the flat bit, genius, then chuckled as the square nut went beyond reach in the hole, I've been there once or twice, when I had occasion to use some square head coach screws, the only sockets I had were bi-hex, or 12 point, but they got me out of trouble. The buggy's coming along nicely, I'm looking forward to seeing the next episode, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.

Nice bit of editing with the forklift. I bet it doesn’t actually change direction on a dime in real time. 😉 Dave you are spot on with your observation about old cars etc. I immediately thought of my parents’ neighbor who had a late ‘30s Ford with a ‘60s Corvette engine and Powerglide transmission under the hood (a holdover from when he took it down the quarter mile).

@jonwatson9765 3 года назад

Lots too comment on. How many watching, when that first countersink didn't allow the nut to be tightened, anticipated either (a) that Dave would have a tool for the job or (b) that he'd go and make one, as he certainly could. Some sort of four fingered socket? It seemed to me that drilling a larger countersink was a compromise reluctantly settled on.

@jjbode1 3 года назад

Reminds me of the 1965 Volvo engine I fitted into a 1960 Volvo 240 Saloon body. One problem there was the radiator's cold water return was on the opposite side. Used the U-shaped leg prop tube from an old chaise lounge to take the water to the other side. It hung below so I meant it to be just a temp fix, but never got around to replacing it. Drove logging roads, stream beds, etc for the next eight years and then sold it to someone who might have wondered "how'd that happen?"

@gordtemple764 3 года назад

Kind of like a buggy shop /gym . Also was shown how to Re drill a hole. Cool move with the dowel. 👨‍🏭

@andrewclarkehomeimprovement 3 года назад

(as ever, late to the party!!) Dave, you may not realise but you passed on a really good little technique. At 9:40, you're counter drilling the nuts for the side brace bolts with a spade bit which is always a pain as it'll normally jump around in the existing hole. Putting a dowel in to locate and support the point of the spade bit, brilliant, simple, effective!
