Will it run after 50 plus years 1916 federal motors truck 

My grandad collected them in the 60 and 70's and I still have several in my barn along with many extra pieces and parts, numerous engines and cabs and I have worked on them my entire life and have two that I totally restored and drive occasionally. If you not help or parts let me know. Im always glad to help someone get another one goin again. Idk where you are but I can toss some parts in my truck and come help you get it going, i actually made a unit that runs off of a 5 ho lawnmower engine and i use it to turn the engine over to start it, takes ten minutes to hook to the engine. Start the mower engine and engage the clutch and the engine spins

It's pretty funny to think that during the WW2 this truck was already quite old-fashioned, although still a perfectly usable workhorse.

Sir, in my books, you are the official WILL IT RUN king.

It is absolutely amazing that she still runs after 107 years! It is amazing after all ever single person that anything to do with her is has now past. From her engineers who designed her to her machinist that made her parts to the men who assemble her and the person or persons one who purchased her.

Look forward to seeing more on this one. Would be interesting to seeing her done up as a WWI army truck.

Nothing better than seeing (and hearing) a 107 year old engine come back to life!! Fun video, thanks!!

You always manage to find the coolest old gems. This thing is super cool.

Saving these old cars and trucks is the best feeling in the world! ❤🏆

Theses Federal trucks were used in New Mexico to chase Pancho Villa into Mexico.

man its crazy how well stuff was built back then.

when it comes to will it run men,you are at the top.great videos.

Man your videos never fail to impress. It's fascinating watching these old machines come back to life. Hope to see lots more!

The excitement of starting an old motor that hasn't run in decades never gets old! I restored a 1954 Johnson 10 hp outboard that hadn't been started since 1968 (needed new coils, points, plugs, carb rebuild, and water pump) and it fired off after two pulls. I ran around like an idiot yelling "Johnson! Johnson!" to no one for a minute. Ran like a champion thereafter!

At 14:47 ,no way! She cranked over. I was as stunned as you. That's crazy.

My grand father drove a federal truck back in the 1920s .this vedio made me smile and think about him.he was a character sure miss him.he had some good stories.great job man.

I pulled my 85 z from a eureka springs car graveyard 2 years ago after it was abandoned for 17 years, less rust than I ever expected 😁

I love seeing this old stuff. I'm 60 and my daddy born and raised in Arkansas. Dropped out of school first grade but he could fix anything. Mechanical and own numerous gas stations and did the mechanic work! He could go from Arkansas to Oregon leaving with 65 cents coming back with a truck. It was only a year old just on barter and work ! Kudos to old school mechanics. God rests their souls

Wow that was perty cool . Them old motors were built to run . Twice as heavy of any modern motor.

My pops had a mid 1930's Federal truck. There wasn't much leftover after years sitting in Ohio, he was just all about the history and stories that came with the trucks.

I am always impressed, seeing all the Antique vehicles you stumble upon for your engine ressurection challenges! Hopefully, some of them you feature will get full restoration. At this stage, these pieces of collection belong to a museum... Good luck on your Cuda's reconstruction, as well =)

What a damn good mechanic 👨‍🔧

I can’t help but smile when I see you get one of these old vehicles running after so many years of neglect. Your attitude and sense of humor make your videos worth watching even when they don’t run.

That is one AWESOME old truck you've got there, it would be great to see her driving around once you get the parts for her 👍

Outstanding Save 👏👏👏👏 Definitely worth the effort and a coat of paint ........👍 Can't wait to see the Finish ☺️✌️

You are the only channel I know of that does revivals on stuff this old. It's so cool to see something that has been around for so many generations fire back to life as if it was only sleeping. I hope there's more of this in the works, I love seeing it!

Magnetos will lose magnetism after sitting for a long time. Remagnetising them was a common thing once. It sounded like the mag starting impulse was clicking just fine too.

It sure is fun watching you get these old timers going again.Keep on wrenchen buddy and a big shout out from Tennessee !

I’m starting to think that everyone that does these will it run videos spend more on the spray lubricants then the cars 😂

Really enjoy your video, especailly with old trucks and cars, I am into Antique and seeing them coming back to life, for a 107 years old sounds good. thank you again for bring and antique back to life.

This guy is a genius…..better than most mainstream motor stuff on TV

Amazing, man! Just incredible to see this 107 year old engine turn over and come to life. You're right, "she wants to live", and I'm sure that she will now. Cheers from Texas.

Can't believe you got it running without catching the thing on fire first. Well done!

Seriously, your channel is pretty damn awesome. I’ve seen you delete two cylinders and make a motor run. BOSS!!! You are a bad ass!

I think you’re the only person that has successfully got a 100 year old vehicle to revive successfully on RU-vid. I was cheering you on when you did the Cadillac, but this was so much more accomplishing. It even ran good. You’ve battled more with 40 year old cars that only sat for 10 years.

I like your videos / Ingemar from Sweden

These ole motors were tough. Good job again.

Son, that old motor runs pretty darned good. It would be good to take steps to preserve it.

Sounds good for the age. Very nice.

Just never gets old seeing these old machines run 👍😁

You are the mechanical miracle maker. Very impressive.

I can’t believe how well she runs after all this time !

I wish my Grandpa was around to see these videos... He'd love them! I know I sure do. Keep up the amazing work, brother!

That's so awesome that you got that 1916 Federal motors truck running!.....

Cool video. Good to see old stuff still able to run. They made good engines back in the day

Nice to see a young guy take an interest in the old truck!

She came alive, praise the Lord great job.

That would look great to rebuild her to the way she looked back in the day

Just goes to show that she wasn't ready to die. Great job on getting her going.

Would love to see more on this ol gal she's a runner, I loved when she fired I actually got excited that she wants to live. You definitely brought her back to life. Rig a carburetor for her I know you can do it. Also build a seat or cab get er going!! Great job bub hopefully seeing a new episode on ER soon

This man makes it seem all so simple (it may be, because I don't understand all of it, but still...), really love to see it.

Absolutely inspirational work. It would be incredible to get an old motor running with little cost, just encyclopedic knowledge and effort.

what a treat I love watching you bring back these brass era cars no one else focuses on these like you do.

That was awesome looking forward to part 2

Excellent work. good to see her running again. Hello from New Zeland :)

Well another brilliant start thanks for sharing !

Notification SQUAD Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

Nice work 👏 you got her running smooth 👍like this content thanks for going the extra mile troubleshooting

With those Elvis looks, trademark jeans and white t, you got the potential for sure. Glad to see you bring these old relics back to life. I’m sure they thank you too. Great job!

I always look forward to a new post from you. Loved this one. Thank you.

Always enjoy your videos. After a hot day of working on the roof on my house. I was glad to see you put a new video out to watch while I cool myself down.

You might not see this but that engine might not even have a water pump. A lot of old trucks and tractors had what is called a "Thermosiphon" System and the hot water would rise to the top of the radiator and get cooled instead of having a pump do that.

Your videos get more amazing, really excellent

That's SO awesome. I've never thought these antiques machines could last that long! And still be in one piece! Simple is more! Great content! And wow, it seems these antique machines are hidden everywhere, just waiting a new chance! Wow!

A very interesting old truck, and a great video! Makes you appreciate the guy who invented the self-starter!!!

Those early engines are so utterly simple and yet run so well. In 1977 I had a 42 chevy panel truck with a flat head six-cylinder engine. When idling it was so quiet you didn't even know it was running.

Cool find. You made it look easy! Look forward to see this one and the Cuda. 😃

Definitely show more of this old truck! Great video!

This man is a very good mechanic and knows engines!!!!

Love watching these old engines come back to life.

Parabens pela sua paixão por esses velhos senhores e senhoras maquinas que estão jogados a décadas sem funcionar !! vc é jovem mas excelente mecânico !!

You the Man pretty Cool and everything comes Full Circle! Dean ( Soul)

Very cool old jalopy! Would love to see that old car fixed up and running!

Love to see this! It would be great to preserve this piece of American automotive history. Great video!

Somebody get this man a PB Blaster sponsor!

Looking forward to the next video 👍

Keep on working on this would love to see it back on the road!😁

Many would have just scrapped it. Most will run. I'm glad you grabbed it. Nice work.

Wow, pretty amazing it runs as good as it does. Never really even smoked that much! Great job getting it running!

PB blaster…, that’s the good stuff .. forget wd40 . That’s almost a Cleaner 🤷🏼‍♂️ great show , thanks for taking us along 👍🏼ps PB Blaster kills wasps almost on contract… learned that at a junkyard getting a part we had to have with them dang things right next to it

Your videos never get old. I love to see you bring those old motors back to life. Great stuff!!!

When these babies come back to life I just start smiling 😊

As a mechanic for 25 years.. sir you are a Badass!!!!

Awesome old truck

The cow was about as excited to hear that old thing run as I was! I love these videos man keep it up it’s so cool to see these old machines bark back to life after so long

Look forward to your grandsons videos "Here we have a 2010 kia sorento, these old engines run on a thing called diesel". Love your work man

*She runs!* Love to see it

If Mr Makey rebuilt a truck.. Mmmm kay. 😂 Good job on the truck!

Bring this old girl on.... Pretty excited to see it rebuilt

unbelievable that that old girl run,but it did and sounded realy good love it! well done

While there isn't a good side view of the truck it looks like it's a 1 ton Model 'S' Truck or a 1 1/2 ton 'Model T' truck(not like ford model T) I've actually got a video on my Federal truck, it's a 1919 Tractor truck Edit: considering the firewall has a layer of wood in it, this is most likely a lighter model like an S. I'm fairly certain no heavier models from this time would've had that, not such a small worm-drive

Back when engines were made to last and easy to troubleshoot. Fuel, air, spark.. now you almost need a computer science degree to get near these newer vehicles.

I can't believe this truck has been sitting for 50 years. I worked with mechanics for many years... the oil that came out of the crankcase wasn't very old... but the video was good.

If you paint all the engine and parts with osflo rust reverse liquid it spots the rust on the spot. And it turns it like gun blue black color and it looks cool. Keep up the great work. That's stuff is sold at ace hardware.

I love your excitement when you got the truck started!

You should get an endorsement deal with PB Blaster. You use more of it than I do. Lol. Well done...

Know it a good day when there’s a new video

I love this channel so much. What most people would simply write off as nothing more than scrap metal, you actually make the effort to bring back to life. Good stuff man, keep up the good work

This is why i keep coming back to this channel. The will it srart on these ol vintage beauty's. I can't wait to see more on this one.

thats the testament to engineering of these old machines,a piece of running history

Thank you for helping to preserve, automotive history! Love the video!
