Nice work lad! Was good to see the proper use of the dining table 😅

Looking forward to seeing you get that boat back on the trailer as easy as you got it off 👌

Diesel Bob has gone AWOL

bedford i think not a bidford pretty sure

Nice old truck I'm itching to buy one. The 'chuff chuff' engine noise sounds like an inlet valve not seating. But since this video is 2yrs old I guess you already know exactly what was wrong with the beast! I subbed, you're so close to the 1k milestone. (just watched next video in this series, my guess was miles off, I'll be quiet now haha)

May have got water in the transmission

I remember some of those Bedford truck 24v used to run 4 x 6 volt ⚡ batteries 🔋 but were probably models from the 60's. Thanks for your introduction to your truck. PS - hope the drivers door finds its way home from your wifes kitchen 😂❤

If it’s to much mate move it on it’s not worth the anxiety you will end up rushing it and you won’t be happy with it I’ve been down this road many times have a great Christmas brother hope to see more videos in the new year

Merry Christmas to you too. totally understand about projects being overwhelming. I made the decision recently to sell my long term project car. l love these old trucks, it sounds great! greetings from Melbourne Australia.

Luverly Juberly James, The old TK Bedford In many variations was once favoured to be changed Into Recovery / race car transport vehicles In years gone by. Then the use of lorries with HIAB type cranes seemed to have taken over, but purists still loved the old Bedford lorries. That diesel motor just wanted to start bless It. Nice job, thank you for the video- Ian UK.

Like a Swiss watch lad! Well done

Somewhere between practicality and madness you will find vehicle restoration. That motor sounded great after being worked on and sitting for a spell. It is a very cool truck, but it is a lot of time and effort to bring her back. Having a use, no matter how small, does help with the sting in your wallet. Whatever you choose, I am sure it will be cool. Cheers mate and a merry christmas to you.

Hi ya fella. Good to see ya ip and about. Sorry I didn't get that video of paints Trump ks fine, the place has been pretty much cut of either floods recently. Haven't forgotten though. The Bedford founds hood and healthy. You seem happy with it. Merry Christmas to you and ya friends and family. All the best mate. 😊

Have a good Xmas pal, see you in 2024 👊

One of the simplest most reliable vehicles ever made and yes that’s the heater in the middle of the cab. Looked after the variant you have there which in the UK at the time was 16 tonne gross and the earlier models. Good luck yo will have a lot of fun with her I am sure

That's a great project 👍 I have subscribed I worked with them in the eighties delivering cement blocks, great times, thank you.

Possui uma patrol MD6 , o mesmo motor , conheço ele na palma da mão . Patrol Trojan , creio que é a única existente na face da terra , existe até hoje , porem com motor 1313 de mercedes .

Well you can hear the head gaskit leaking clearly

Did james n finish the tkhlc bedford he was working on keep up the good work james.

Cool truck iv got some new bedford mudflaps on trademe in dunedin if your interested in the final bling bits

I'm really enjoying the whole process of tidying up this beautiful truck! It's a true marvel of engineering with how these where built back in the day. Nice an simple an not overly complicated. Beautiful work with the filming to james! It's a real joy to watch ❤

20 years ago I changed the head gasket on one of these but it was a coach built horse box so only had access through the small bonnet flaps .It was a 2 day mission and I look back and think what a great truck the bedford was compared to modern stuff.

Thank you, James, for sharing this absolutely beautiful old truck. I definitely have a soft spot for these bedfords. It would be an absolute joy to see the work that goes into fixing this beast up!

Never drove anything but Bedford tk's during my 17 years as a house delivery coalman,78\95, when gas eventually killed the trade, perfect height of platform, for hand loading and carrying off, back in the day when every house in country had coal fires,3 and a half ton bedfords loaded with 120+bags, or over 6 ton , overweight by a ton and a half easy, and if by any chance we were ambushed by the WEIGHTS AND MEASURES MEN, because of how fast the coal was going off the lorry we were usually legal, or underweight haha, brilliant lorries, where even a broken accelerator spring could be fixed with a thick elastic band , that the postmen used to drop all over the streets, it would get you back to the yard, and the side flaps, brilliant if you needed a pee, lift the flap and lean in pretending You're looking at the engine haha, just brilliant,hard working and dependable lorries, I also did the signwriting on the lorries,

Fair play fella. I hate hydraulic oil. Leathal stuff. Got covered in it a voiple years ago ate into me scalp. Had all me hair shaved off. Seen some dreadfull accidents with equipment failing. Be careful. 😊

Someone must have reved the nuts out of that engine. Just no need for it.

Nice job on the overhaul dude. Big thumbs up from me 👍

Smiths. Very good,my friend.

I have driven this truck it was owned by our neighbours in Southland 500 cubic in engine,good to see it again 6:51

try sticking the microphone into some sponge to reduce the wind noise. Enjoying the renovations

Hi if you are thinking of doing a complete overall on it have a look at a video by K&R Walch they do a tipping cab one very nice 👍 and easier to work on

My father had one of those 1977. We drove it for 10 years till he died. Had an engine change in 79. Breakers yard had a smashed fire tender with a rolls Royce 330, guys changed it while we were on holiday. Never broke down, must have done a million miles in it. Fantastic lorry. Never forget it. Snb597r, I think that's its reg. Great video. Thanks.😊

11 minutos para ver como lo arranca ! Donde está la restauración ?

Good old school repair job on old trucks you can do this, long may they keep running. Modern high tech trucks are an electronic nightmare doubt they will last as long as this old Bedford. Nice truck to drive too.

She got a crook valve or blown head gasket

Nice old trucks those !

I worked in Bedford truck Dunstable 80 to 85 in the cab trim ..Great days ...

That Raspberry cordial mix should do the trick, Diesel makes a good parts soak!

Great trucks Bedfords! As a native of Northern Ireland, I'm impressed that New Zealanders use the term "wee", as much as we do here! Cheers!

What an adventure, the excavator did well, that was quite a journey for it. Off and running now

What an awesome little dozer, many hours of fun ahead on this bloke doing some pushing once you get it going again.

That chassis looks pretty solid , you’ve got a great truck

James, making good progress, yeah Marty T is the boy alright but you’re doing alright mate and just a matter of time before you have a decent following. By the looks of it you have an interesting library of jobs you’ve done so can’t wait to get into them. Go the mighty ABs

Hi James, new subscriber, enjoy watching your videos, love these old TK Beddys, had a lot of fun in one when I had a fencing contract, great truck, very reliable. My old man was a great believer in Fisholene in door panels etc so maybe when you get those doors sorted it’s an idea. Great content, thanx for sharing

Doesn’t help pumping the accelerator on a diesel u must pump the lift pump

These old Bedfords are adored in Pakistan, proper work horse.

Another great video, will you be giving the TK, a complete over haul or just a superficial job? Where abouts in NZ are you? Best regards from a ex ChCh lad now living in Melbourne 👍👍👍👍👍
