Updating/Repairing the brakes on a 1971 Ford F-500. Putting another old truck back to work.
I pulled this old medium duty truck from the woods of northern Michigan a few months ago. I drove it home full of mice and bees with no brakes and i'm finally getting around to giving it some attention. In this video we'll install a Battle Born Brakes retrofit kit, install all new copper nickel brake lines using an amazon flaring tool, and take the ol' girl on her maiden voyage.

I pulled this 2005 Ski-doo Summit Adrenaline 800HO from deep in the woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula last summer. It supposedly had an altercation with a tree and it was left for dead. I've got it back at the shop now, and we're going to disassemble the ol' girl and find out just how much work she'll need to see snow once again. It may take some doing, but i think we can handle it. Enjoy!

Have you tried a sweeping ultrasonic cleaner? It varies the frequency; some frequencies may penetrate or reach the nooks and crannies better.
Not sure if you can add pigment to the stuff but it would really make a difference, yellow oxide is what can be used for most gel coats
Just bought one at a pawn shop , it to is the only one I've ever seen , and yep i paid to much for it to .😂
selling it?
Not picking on you....We called that "Green" = "Baby Sh!t Green" - Doo had it on the freeride a few years ago too!
get it fully warmed up then pull the plugs and do a compression reading. cold is just a go-no go test. the pistons seal with heat and pump higher numbers.
They must be sending all their crap to the USA coz my mini skid had great oil in it and for the price comon
Where did you find your force outboard engine parts?
Where can a guy find force outboard parts?
It really comes with no damper?? That makes as much sense as a screen door on a submarine.
I had an OLD (1970's) premix sled, that when it was really cold in Northern MN (-40°F/C) it did not like to start, I traced it down to it not liking the heavy premix to ignite when cold...So I used a concoction of Non-Oxy Pump Gas, Acetone, Model Airplane Gas/Nitromethane and some Aviation Fuel (100LL) in a small 1qt tank under the hood that the primer was attached to....THEN SHE'D START!
Personally The Turbo Kit (because it has low compression) - It would have V8 Power under boost, and 6cyl economy at cruise. - I would make sure the oak is dry 2 years, then paint with a brush or industrial sprayer (like weed sprayer) several coats used oil...FYI loosen your bolts holding the wood down prior to painting or the wood will snap the bolts upon expansion (soaking up the oil - Ask me how I know!)....I have several trailers and a fence painted with used oil....The one trailer has been stored outside for 50 years....wood is still good (also rough cut oak)
Turbo would be awesome if I can afford it lol. We'll see how things go in the future. Good advice on the wood, thanks. Its definitely dry enough as is. I'm thinking I'll probably lay it out, pre drill all the holes, then soak it all several times off the truck before securing it for good.
@northwoodsnoise hey there. I have the same tractor bought it about a week back. Only 474 hours on it. Great shape minus the paint and hoses. Can I pick your brain on the hoses? What size are they 3/8 I have the exact same loader. My hoses are just showing the steel braid at this point. And the rear two hoses for the rock shaft one leaks. Only leak I have on the tractor luckily did you replace those? Do you have any tractor supply parts numbers? I went there the other day all the hoses mine carried were male x male hose ends and looks like some of mine are female. Also can I get a better look at your hose routing as mine has the optional grill guard and that hits the bucket hoses and wear them out. Kind of a crappy design. And did you know of the company who does make a quick attach for this? What about a 3rd function add a line for the bucket? I’m looking at adding hydraulics for the 3 point or just having them incase I can ever find a backhoe for mine. Great tractors. Bullet proof. You see how simple and amazing these machines are. Thanks for videoing. I’ll be looking for your reply as I want to replace my hoses soon. Do you recall how much they were for the whole loader? $200-300?
Why didn't you take a wire wheel to the piston skirt instead of a corse file? That's pretty rough
@@sammyrothrock6981 Greater fine motor control with a file. Too many rpm with a wheel. Gouging. Wheel catching soft aluminum sending the piston across the shop. The list goes on. You could argue over course/fine, but a file would always be my tool of choice in this situation. Rough isnt necessarily bad as the grooves will hold lubricant but I'd rather there be a pattern to it over the haphazard scratching/gouging of a wire wheel.
@@NorthwoodsNoise there are many different wire wheels from corse to fine. I was a small engine John Deere mechanic have 50 years experience . Your entitled to your opinion but, I been around a long time
@@NorthwoodsNoise then I use some 1000 grit sandpaper
@@NorthwoodsNoise bead blasting is one of the better options but, never a file
@@sammyrothrock6981 my opinion is that anything besides boring the block and replacing the piston is a bandaid, so I dont think it really matters. File, wire wheel, bead blasting, whatever. You still have an undersized out of shape piston in an oversized out of round bore. More about the skill of the individual doing the work than the tools used in this scenario.
Good job. Great video.
Love this Truck. I searched and searched for a bell housing like that has. I have a fresh 300 I like to put into my 65 F250 4x4. Not sure what all trucks to look for that had it.
Are you looking for a specific trans or any manual? The 300 shares the small block pattern so any truck that had an I6, a 302, or a 351W will have the correct bellhousing pattern. In my opinion a small block zf5 would be the best choice. The Mazda M5OD wasnt bad but wasnt a good choice for heavy frequent towing from what I understand, and the NP435 is bulletproof, just sucks that it doesnt have an overdrive. Good luck searching!
@@NorthwoodsNoise Thanks, I have a couple bell housings but none with the mounting ears. Also the cast iron timing cover for the front mount.
Why would you not have used the thumb on that stump.
Just FYI that is not a ROPS, it is a canopy. If you roll that thing, I bet it would fold like a wet cardboard box.
I have an 85 force 50hp it runs great, its simple to work 1 carb 2 cylinders not much really to it , I havnt done what you have though I think it would scare me to tear everything apart, I dont know if mine has that type bearings in it or not prolly so I would end losing one for sure, I think it will run fine when your done you did a pretty job myself ,cool video stay safe and god bless
hahaha yamaha red head triples are the best engines made. was not a big fan of the 600 twins.
Nice, where did you get those "quick Connect" couplers for the auger?
@@Trex450S they're available on ebay. Needed adapters to get them mated to the lines, but its doable.
How did you drain the hydraulic fluid, is there a drain? Do you need to cycle each cylinder as well?
@@ShuhDonk I used a fluid transfer pump. There is a drain but nowhere for the fluid to go besides all over the engine compartment so pumping it out is the way to go on this model. No need to cycle the cylinders in my opinion, but it's not like that's going to hurt anything if you do decide to take the time to do it. You may just need to take some extra time to bleed all the air out after you refill.
Hi Northwoods, I have a 1963 Evinrude 10 hp that I'm replacing the powerhead on one that I got from Ebay, will I get good results if I check compression if powerhead is not mounted?
You have fantastic soil for that!😊
That we do! Mostly sand around here. Don't have to set the throttle much above idle to eat through it.
Great job!👏🏼
Unfortunately Ethanol free fuel will be too expensive in the near future, even for those who have a lot of money.
Where did you get the brace/nun kit?
@@93Tillinfini Ebay. Search for a Jay Favel brace kit.
Hi @NorthwoodsNoise thanks for your video series on this truck. I have a 1979 F150 351m that I have been throwing a lot of parts at the last couple years. Currently rebuilding the engine since I also found bearing material in the pan when I dropped that to replace oil pan and timing cover gaskets as well as the front seal. I ended up pulling the engine a couple weeks ago and tearing it down for further inspection. The front cam bearing and either 3rd or 4th one back ended up being the culprits. Since the crank required grinding I am swapping for a 400 crank with higher compression pistons from Tim Meyer, a mild cam, weiand intake, holley double pumper and inside the frame headers. Of course various other doodad's too. Anyway, my reason for comment is regarding the bleeding of the p/s system. Last summer I swapped out steering boxes for a Red Head, used the same steering shaft as you and also converted to hydroboost for power brakes. Battleborn brakes supplied the brackets to mount a h/b unit from a 99-05 super duty to the firewall. I used the 99-05 master cylinder due to rear disc conversion and changed proportioning valve. Front calipers were swapped for calipers off a '79 T-Bird. It was an absolute nightmare getting the p/s system bled and tried numerous tricks to get it done. I ended up grabbing a Mityvac MVA662 Ford Power Steering Bleeder Adapter from amazon and bled the system using that. Also had to take apart the pump and unstick the valve that is located where the pressure hose hooks up to the pump. After fixing the stuck valve (it stuck due to way too much air the system when I first fired it up) and bleeding with a vacuum pump I have not had any issues since. That adapter cap was worth every cent! Thought I would let you know and good luck with your on-going project.
Can you do a follow up and show us what the repair looks like a year later?
My fan is wired to a relay wired to the ACC on the key switch. I also have a attic fan thermostat switch that cuts the fan on when the temp gets over 100 degrees
I have the same model. I moved my throttle cable from where it was (about 1.5 inch from pivot point) to the outside by the choke on/off control. I used the same clamp holding the choke cable, conduit to hold my throttle cable, conduit. (Choke on the bottom and the throttle on top) and drilled a hole in the throttle lever (B&S 13.5 hp). I added (not really needed but felt better doing so) a spring from an old lawnmower carb, for a help on return. I now have about 2/3 (instead of 3/4 of a inch) of my control changing the speed and can control the unit better.
A lot of these stoves are meant for moto camping because there's no way I'm hiking out even 5kms with one of these non collapsible types of stoves.
Excellent find! I like the Cutts compensator/choke.
A Johnson 90 would be perfect for that boat. It would FLY.
@@frogcassady that would've been my first choice, but the 60 was just sitting in the shop, so on it went. Maybe I'll swap it out someday
@@NorthwoodsNoise I would have done the same thing.
These tractors were the best.
Is that an actual B&S engine or a chinese knock off?
@@jhughes3867 it is an actual briggs engine but I believe it was manufactured in china. They've moved a percentage of their manufacturing to china in recent years so I'd be surprised if this engine was made anywhere else but I cant say for sure.
FYI, there's a filter in the tank...
I bought this on Amazon, the diversity of this is nice. It is easy to assemble. The strap really helps with maneuverability during or in between jobs. The performance has been upscale of expectations. The quility has made this a real value for the money.
2 cyl. Onan???
Fan should be negative pressure if you don't want a sweaty butt
Once you have dug your, you must lay in it.
What’s the name of the tune that starts playing at 43 min in?
You tube channel "the garage connection" he has parts and alot of information on these machines.
I purchased this three years ago on Amazon and worked well except for this year would not start. The fuel line in the tank had deteriorated and fuel filter corroded even after using store bought premixed gas each time. I wish I would have purchased a husky now, hopefully the replacement will come today and it starts.
Just a suggestion should put fan on othere side bc that's the same way the air is blowing from the fan inside the motor it's self blowing over the cycliner head on left side
I just bought a Miva va12. Seems identical in construction. Nice video of the door hinge install. Was thinking about the fan too, but am concerned with overtaxing the charging system. The grease fittings were junk, but usable. It had not been greased at all at the factory. used nearly a whole tube filling it up. Does anything on the tracks need grease? I didn't get a manual with mine. The tracks are twitchy as hell and run best at low engine rpm + full open valves. The house and boom hydraulics are smooth if you go easy on the sticks. Won't do much till September as it is 110 degrees outside now.
