‪@Junkyard_Dave‬ 's playlist: • Keller Super Chief
While the Hercules IXB3 really isn't that rare of an engine, THIS ONE is! We machined the original engine out of an extremely rare 1948 Keller Super Chief that fellow RU-vidr ‪@Junkyard_Dave‬ has begun restoring...
This little piece of automotive history is 1 of 4 remaining in the world, and 1 of only 18 Keller Super Chief ever made. We're honored to have the opportunity to be a part of keeping this history alive!

I never realized so much work went into getting an engine block ready for assembly ! I always just dropped the block off at my local machine shop,you guys are really talented! Thanks for taking the time to show us knuckleheads this process .

@goldwing2000 2 месяца назад

You guys put way more love and expertise into the engine than he put into the entire rest of the car. Junkyard guys probably shouldn't try to do restoration work. 🤣

@michael-dd3em 5 месяцев назад

The cleaning guy knew exactly why he set it off recording in slow motion. So the apprentice doing the commentary on the video could see exactly how it is done 😂😂 Well done the cleaning guy 👍

@JohnThomas-vb9se 5 месяцев назад

It’s not brand new again, it’s way better than new. With the whole rotating assembly balanced including the flywheel and pressure plate, that little thing will be as smooth as silk.

@richardmorton1310 5 месяцев назад

As an old guy, an old car guy, and a home machinist, I love this channel. I wonder where in the journey of skill gathering you are compared to the cleaning guy? Nothing but respect for you and your dad, and nothing better than seeing a business span generations.

@edwatts9890 5 месяцев назад

Retired engineer, and same here!

@rkan2 5 месяцев назад

Like usually.. the newer generation is often ahead with newer methods and the older generation has more experience in total of course.

Those Timeserts have saved so much parts and equipment. They could charge twice as much and we'd still use them lol. I wish they were cheaper as well.

@joejones4296 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for the calm and peaceful video. So many RU-vidrs put in loud music and goofy stuff. I love the channel.

@svenforfifr1390 5 месяцев назад

Props to dad's mixup on the camera settings. Made for a more dramatic shot. Probably better footage than standard speed getting to see whats going on.

@dingus153 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely phenomenal that even with an old ass engine like this you still go to all these efforts to make it as perfect as possible, and in some cases, better than factory!

@matthewq4b 5 месяцев назад

Nice to see engine machine work being done properly and with great precision. Keep up the good work.

@oldtruckswork8989 5 месяцев назад

I love the fact that he is rebuilding the Hercules. I have an old Oliver crawler with an IXK engine in it. Very similar to the IXB and it's fascinating to watch someone actually work on one of these old engines!

@johnbolwell5969 5 месяцев назад

Fabulous video guys! Wonderful to see such precision engineering restoring and old block.

@michaelweiland6751 5 месяцев назад

You guys put great attention to detail into your work! I wish you guys were closer to do some of my work.

@marcioreis2648 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for the opportunity Dan.

@ronbunker5778 5 месяцев назад

You guys do so excellent work! Most shops gloss over old machine mistakes and just do whatever they can to get the job out the door. I really enjoy watching your videos!

@graemescott1140 5 месяцев назад

@Heinrich_STG44 5 месяцев назад

Heck yeah. I'd love to see a farming channel. Great work guys.

@Tinman97301 5 месяцев назад

I am a fan of a few "Farmers" YT channels. I would love to watch the cleaning guy working on his farm day to day.

@d00dEEE 5 месяцев назад

The slo-mo crank grinding is very cinematic, I expect to see this effect used in all your future videos! 😁

@xr7coug 5 месяцев назад

Making it brand new again?? You made it better than new!

@ItsFriscoBaby 5 месяцев назад

So this is the one part of that car that won't be hacked together. The cleaning guy definitely knows crank grinding better than he knows cameras

@slicedbread9003 5 месяцев назад

Awesome project. I love the transformation on this engine. They did a good job back in 1948 but 2024 machining and balancing looks so good! I can't wait to see this engine run.

@michaeljucius9509 5 месяцев назад

Wish I had found an opportunity to work at an automotive machine shop. I've been machining for years as well as building cars so seeing both come together would have been fun.

@Sherlock067 5 месяцев назад

Kudos to you all on restoring that block and hope the car it’s going in will be restored to its former glory!

@cameron878 5 месяцев назад

Flickery slow motion aesthetics should be added to every video, I'm a fan Nick!

@bruceyoung1343 4 месяца назад

I just love when you “clean” the cylinder deck and you can see a rainbow reflection. Brings back memories when I rebuilt my cars engine, had it sent out to have that done along with new valve guides , bored, and new freeze plugs. When it came back the cylinder deck was a thing of beauty

@rodneymiddleton9624 5 месяцев назад

It’s nice to make it better than new!! Thanks!

@rickevans6468 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for another great video, and YES to a farming channel by the cleaning guy. Many people today don't no the trouble Farmer's go through and the work that goes into running a farm. GOD BLESS Rick

@timot7746 5 месяцев назад

Beautiful work, both of you!

@johnalexander4356 5 месяцев назад

Very fun to watch! I rebuilt one of those engines in about 1979 for my old Lincoln DC portable welder. It was a much different work environment back then. The machinery we had was so much more primitive and everything was manual. And we sure didn't balance that old engine. But I know it was still being used in 2008!

@stevecr8934 5 месяцев назад

I really like watching old steel made new again.

@patrickmoodabe9728 5 месяцев назад

I’m here from Dave’s channel. He does great work & I’ve followed him for years. So now I’ll follow you. If he trusts your work. Good by me. ✌️✌️

@markchodroff250 3 месяца назад

Wow! Great job , I used to rebuild Hercules engines the four-cylinder and six cylinder on forklifts, maybe 40 years ago now retired, my favorite job was building those engines and painting them , after a few days they were running in the machines! Great satisfaction having them start right up and sounding great ! Also did many Continental engines and Wisconsin air cooled ones .

@dirtyfabrication401 5 месяцев назад

There something that is just satisfying about watching old iron being saved and brought back to function again... GREAT JOB

You do great work. Its a pleasure watching your videos.

@vortexgen1 5 месяцев назад

Watched Junkyard Dave get the car on his channel, and saw that you came up on my RU-vid feed with his engine. It's great to watch people who know what they are doing fixing up something as rare as this and doing it correctly. Great job.

@bigcliffadventures 5 месяцев назад

I do enjoy watching you and your dad doing a hard job and the great time you and him enjoy with each other that is your blessing too. God bless y'all.

@recoilrob324 5 месяцев назад

I'm surprised that you balanced the non-counterweighted crankshaft. Thinking about it...the pistons will counter each other at the ends of each stroke and without the counterweights the secondary imbalance fore and aft will be greatly reduced. So the main reason to use the counterweights is to reduce the stresses on the bearings which won't be a problem in a low revving engine like this one. Would be curious to see just how badly it shakes in operation...maybe for another video down the road?

@rangerst_870 5 месяцев назад

Any time you can get a rotating assembly to balance, it will smooth out the engine. some of what he was balancing wasn't necessarilt the crankshaft, but the items added to it that almost no one thinks about if it will affect the balance.

@dennisverhaaf2872 5 месяцев назад

I had my gmc 1944 270 straight six balanced and it became a completely different engine so smooth now

@gazza116 5 месяцев назад

@robertwatkins364 4 месяца назад

The cleaning guy? That's phunny as hell! My dream was to be a machinist since I was a kid. I love it, there is nothing in the world I would rather do! I enjoy watching these videos, because I have never done engine machining.

@eldoradoboy 5 месяцев назад

family run shops with generations of knowledge passed down.. these are the type of places I have gotten the best ever machine work done. attention to detail and real pride in their work!! most of us over 50 have grown up with toolboxes in our garages that got used.. so cool to see when a young guy gets interested in what his dad or grandad is doing and takes the same pride...

@girthquake1413 4 месяца назад

Sounds like you made the little herc even tighter than how it came from the factory. I'm always impressed at the crazy small size and compactness of a flathead I4 engine.

@mrmiscast 5 месяцев назад

I'm positive that once assembled and running, were it not a solid lifter engine you wouldn't be able to hear or feel it running. Nothing better than something taken well within the sometimes wildly variable specs and clearences of the original design and manufacture. It will be slick to say the least.. .Very nice work as Always... Wish you guys weren't so far away, as I've got a Farmall engine I need to have the machine work done on. Being in a big city these days doesn't mean you can find someone capable of doing this quality of work... Thanks guys....

@jeffo881 5 месяцев назад

thanks for keeping America running, our engines and our stomachs.

@rangerst_870 5 месяцев назад

I am surprised you did not clean up the water passages and intake/exhaust ports to help increase efficiency in the engine. Granted it would be a minimal amount of improvement on hp/tq, but the cooling system can always use improved flow for more efficient cooling.

@garymccord4277 5 месяцев назад

Love watching and hearing what you are doing

@mrbarr1961 5 месяцев назад

@chash7335 5 месяцев назад

What a nice show! I really like that valve guide puller- I cringe when I see a valve guide being driven out with an air hammer. I use my 10 ton shop press most of the time but that gets hairy with 454 heads. Good luck for the New Year!
