Will this Old Grain Truck RUN & DRIVE in Time for HARVEST!? 

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it but that carburetor has a governor control on it that's why the secondaries are probably not opening

Hello from Germany 🛣️🛤️🛫🌊 i Love it Video Clips Classic Cars and Trucks Pick ups thx for Clips ❤️🐄🦬🐃🐂 hiha i am Farmer 👍

you should get a small line pinching tool set! If there's a soft line any where before the spot you're separating, it won't bleed out unless you break the vacuum.

Kevin your videos are amazing man you should post more often

When is Mook going to build the motor for Spicy Nova

👍

👍

👍

👍

Nice

Ok mcmook had a farm with ei ei o 😂

E I E I ohhhhh!

And on that farm they had a shoop e I e I oh (dear) 😂

@@borrisdeacon “they are called shepherds, not sheeperds” 😆

Weirdo

My last name is shoop ecxept spelled "shupe" lmfao

@@redneckpyromania6965 🤣🤣🥹

ok

I just missed Mook.

they are national treasures.

@@Njazmohmm..🤔. If you say so..

Missed mook 😢

@@Njazmoshe has her own channel i believe

Maybe he could start by rebuilding that shirt lol

@@jackorwick That shows me he is a busy man that doesnt need a fancy new shirt to work in dusty dirty conditions. That shirt has seen and done things most men couldnt understand!

Farmyard Digs. How to be an everything, because farmers do it all.

Last scene with Ben should have been getting a new JYD shirt.

That shirt is classified as super ultra light 100% cotton, it’s the late summer and early fall collection.

I just did.

I was thinking 31 years... but

More like 29 years. Duuh. You can tell. 30. No way. 29. Yeah.

governor ?

​@@225supersix1977a governor keeps the engine from producing too much instant power, and possibly destroying itself or the drive train.

They also had forged steel cranks, heavy steel rods, and four ring deep skirt pistons. Very tough rotating assembly but kind of a dog on power lol

Also sodium filled exhaust valves to help dissipate heat under heavy load.

FT signifies "Ford Truck" and yes, there are differences between the engines though the exterior block dimensions are essentially the same. The FT engines were specifically built for low RPMs while operating with higher torque output and were never meant for speed. They were purpose built for heavy work and they were built to last which is why you'll find them in trucks over a rating of 1 ton along with buses or purpose built chassis which were sent to various coachworks for custom built vehicle platforms. The FT displacements were 330, 359 (supposedly), 361, 389 & 391 though you're most likely to find a 361 or a 391. So, can you use the FT parts with an FE engine? Yes and no. Some parts can be used without mods but others require machining. A few parts cannot be used at all. So, about those blocks. The blocks were supposedly cast using a higher quality iron and with wider internal journal webbing which makes many of them more desirable - though you should note that not all of the FT blocks were the same with what you could do with them - not all blocks could be safely bored out to be a 428 for example. Some of them had side bosses cast into the blocks making it easy to convert them into 4 bolt main blocks with the cross-bolt style. They also had steel versus iron crankshafts. The reality is that there are a slew of differences between the FE & FT engines when you look at ALL the parts that make up the complete engines so be warned. Be sure you know what you're getting if you scrounge for parts and know that many of the factory parts are inferior to aftermarket parts or even regular FE parts. The heads or exhaust manifolds would be a prime example. If you're serious about knowing the ins & outs of the FE/FT engines then the smart play would be to spend a lot of time on the WWW reading up on them or grab a few books covering them.

How much did you profit though if you don’t mind me asking

I was looking that up last night. He said something like 217 bushels, and at about 12.70 a bushel, its a bit over $2700

Fabulous

Yes Sir that is the way we live in a farm town. everyone looks out for each other.

Old school .. my 82 yr old dad is the same way .. I buy or do something..he's trying to pay me .. get out of here lol

I thought the same thing. Thats a humble old dude

I think he just wanted to see the truck run. Gotta respect it.

I am hoping the old fella took it for a drive

He's the best

also, even for a small farm like this that is a ton of labor and equipment expense for Im guessing about $3000 at harvest. It is truly amazing how tight budgets have to be on farms. Considering almost every implement you see being used costs more than a luxury home and requires regular costly maintenance. Im really fascinated by the whole enterprise

Underpowered is an easy fix, though, since they use FE based engines. Any FE will likely bolt right in, hotrod parts will likely bolt right on, and hell you could probably even get a 6.9 or 7.3 IDI diesel to just slide right into one if desired.- I would throw some gofast parts at the engine already in it, though.

@@TestECull performance parts and industrial applications do not match up well

@@magicstew45 Ain't nobody trying to make a living off working these ancient trucks every single day lol. Once in a blue moon like we see here is about the heaviest they'll see; other than that they're either yard art or parade floats.

@@TestECull You can use SOME FE parts on these but not many. An FT's red line is lower than an FE's as the FT engines were built for low end torque. Also an FE wouldn't hold up to being worked hard like the FT would.

​@@TestECullThere's a tree crew in my area running one of these with a cherry picker on the back, I see that thing on the road every day.

ok

ok

I agree! I wish he would record every rebuild so I could watch.

Yeah, the new machines are all about sophisticated GPS and auto tracking systems for the best yield. They haven't changed much mechanically inside. Although they have gotten way more efficient over the years for sure. These days anyone can hold the wheel. Getting them dialed in is an artform though. I got to ride around in a Case IH 6150 a few weeks ago. It was a blast.

The shirt looked like it had been through the combine harvester.

that tee has been his lucky harvest tee for the last 36 seasons

A buddy had an ancient (mid 60's?) hot rod Dodge grain truck as heavy as you could get on two axles. The beast had a very torque tuned 426 hemi. Not much good at the race track even empty but it did haul a pretty good pile of wheat reasonably well. Not diesel fast but not much slower either.

I still drive a Ford, but it is 2018 Ranger, single cab with 2.2 l turbodiesel and a six-speed manual gearbox. Grew up in Fords, too many to mention.

I think it's from a bump side Ford! The prior generation

zzz

Thanks Kevin. It must have been to save on production costs. If it works, why change it.

Gotta grow what you can sell though.

@@brandonha that's what merch is for. I'd gladly buy a bag of "Mook's Magic Beans."

I wonder why he didn't tell how much money he got???

@@peterrexilius254you can sell your load right away, or keep your receipt(s) and have the elevator hold it for better prices. He may not have sold it right away

Watched too much Pole Barn Garage as of late, havw we?😊

Isn't being obducted by Aliens and living in Minn the same thing?

They are ridiculous! We should get you off here sometime for some farming stuff!

Take a look at Cole the Cornstar. He and Kevin did a collaboration a couple of years back.

That would be a kick!!! @@JunkyardDigs

At $12.88 per bushel (current average in Nebraska), the profit margin is pretty narrow for farmers. They have to know what they're doing for sure!

@@mikehemen9708 definitely, especially if that’s your only income!
