Are you in Lowell nc
Nice half-track
Cool military vehicles
It’s always interesting to see military equipment and I like vehicles that are over engineered and not under engineered like nowadays 😀🇨🇦
I'd love to have an H1 chassis but they are crazy expensive here in Missouri. Happy wrenching Geoffrey 🔧
Geoffrey , Was that Jeep one of the Ford built ones . The grille louvers are horizontal , not like the willys vertical ones
Sorry,I have no idea.
Thanks for the walk around of the show Geoffrey, you have some really good equipment there. Hopefully your Sixty is ok, it sounds like it’s still running ok. The A4T 1600 is the same model as my tractor. This one had a the bubble nose front, which was very rare in Australia. The LP version had a 504ci engine and the diesel engine was 585ci. Both engines were rated for 169hp.
the old sixty sounds like it runs a bit cleaner when its a bit leaner?
thats a really need looking setup. hopfully someone gets it up and running again. i will have to gwt you a video of the saw mill at my large vintage rally ground at lake gold smith
I’d like to see that.
@@oldamericaniron5767 ill.be done there in september to do some sork on the machines so ill walk around the sae mill for you
🤔I loved seeing the White/MM, I was shocked to see it was gasser myself😎I hope your rig is okay? It looked great in my video running away😉
Great stuff, Glad you took Steve along 🤠
This one brought me back to reminiscing of my old mentors and the ways they got things done. My boom truck is an '89 and has electric winches, but they sure are handy. Keep at it 'ol boy, you'll only get younger by keeping those projects moving.
Can't wait to see the next video when you load up the saw mill and bring it home Geoffrey 😁👍
Don’t hold your breath on that one.
I hope the 60 is okay. Thanks for the great shout out mate. Looks like a really good time over there. I hope people noticed your attire you had on 🤣
Hi mate looked like a great event. Thanks for that great walk around and shoutout. Magnificent. I’d love one of those GMC Astros. We don’t have them here. It’s amazing the difference in models between the countries. Thanks again
That's a real shame about the cat 60 but if its stopped leaking it will probably be ok. I would defiantly re torque the head bolts at some point. That's a really nice Fordson model N the next tractor I want to my collection is a an N
Well G I had to LAUGH when you said if this is the Junior I would be scared to see the Senior or something like that 😂😂😂😂 I really started to get a good understanding of how it works and it’s really neat engineering but it looks like such a beast to get it back to your place! I read the comment about the little voices and I have to tell you I’ve been there so many times and at the end of the day it’s What will it take to load it and then what will it take to restore it and then look at your chequing account that’s kinda how I try to go about situations like this and I wish you all the best either way on this deal. I’m just a viewer so It’s different for you ! Take care G😀🇨🇦
You described the situation perfectly!
Can’t watch it , you don’t have your auto rotation turned on your camera, ok thanks see ya BigAl California
I’m sorry , I just forget to check phone before I record at times.
It needs a total rebuild,...I dont know.
if that mill was close to where i live i would be interested, i bought a m14 belsaw, but i would like to get something bigger. I think they used those sprockets to center the drum on the shaft .
Now after thinking about it I think you are right. It may have had a wooden drive drum which perished and this one made from a pipe obviously isn’t original and the gear was used to mount it. I’ll have to look at the pictures again but I believe there was no welding involved in the making of the drive, clever engineering doing it without welding.
I do see a Lane sawmill on marketplace with a long rack on the carriage to drive but I still think you are correct about this one. Another interesting feature on the Lane is it doesn’t have a track per say for the carriage but instead a series of rollers the carriage travels across.
@@oldamericaniron5767 I looked up the sawmill you are talking about on marketplace. I have never seen that design before. That is interesting, it seems that most mills went to a cable and track eventually.
Well, not knowing the logistics you are faced with to move the mill.........from here in my easy chair watching your video........fingers crossed you make the right decision! Thanks!!
The little voice saying what I want and the little voice saying what I should do are doing battle.
@@oldamericaniron5767not having to do anything personally I say go for it… if you do enough logging or have access to logs I made fat cash in Alaska with a mill a lot like this that damn near killed me every chance it got, especially moving it with just my young son, handyman jacks, winch & some pullys
Awesome
Ideally I would get the Belsaw running to cut rough cut timbers for this one. I think rough cut timbers left to weather some would make this mill look great.
@@oldamericaniron5767 I agree
Well Geoffrey we’ve all done that a time maybe two. Looks like you got lucky though. Friend of mine Mark was going to try and make it over to see you, when they were there, he lives over to Sauk. Happy hauling equipment back home buddy.
Probably getting it a little hot got those piston rings seated well. After you get it home, I would retorque the heads and hope for the best. Hopefully nothing got hurt and a good retorque of the heads will fix it.
Oh man! 👀 Hopefully everything is fine with the milky looking oil
Yes G I too have run my equipment hot and it just gives you that sinking feeling when I realized what I had done but hopefully you’ll get through this and catch a break because I couldn’t hear any issue when it was idling but moving on that scraper is in really excellent condition I also have this happy sad emotion going on on the last day of a show it’s so exciting and fun the first day and the last day when you see people packing up and you know it’s going to be a good year before you can see them again keep on truckin G 😀🇨🇦
I was so beat I could hardly move but now after a little rest I’m thinking about next year already.
You don't ask it, you tell it!
Oops
One big oops!
That's a beautiful 6 bottom!
It is
Nice vid of old iron!
OH!! 😳 That 1975 *WHITE* Road-cammode is pretty sweet Geoffrey!
Some nice looking equipment there.
I’m a little late to the party had a lot going on but I’m here now 😀So much to see G but the first thing that I just had to comment on was that fan belt , are those connections really that expensive? My jaw dropped when you said that the belt was seemed reasonable but when you said it was over $80 unbelievable I am just without speech !!! Oh well I love the way that belt system tightened up the belt well though out ! The Insley was a treat She fills up the bucket like nobody’s business 😀 and it’s a swamp bucket to so you could clean dugouts with her brings me back to hanging out with my Uncle Pete I could watch him all day long!! Thanks for taking me along with you and I will chat with you tomorrow and I can’t wait 😀🇨🇦👍
The price of the belting was acceptable but the $50 for the joining was ridiculous, if I would have known ahead I would have found a different way.
Thanks for the footage Geoffrey. That cab over Dodge is a rare bird. I don’t recall ever seeing one, not even in print.
I saw one on marketplace recently.
That little belt splice must have a lot of silver in it or the labor rate is pretty high for making the belt....I used that exact splice in round baler belts and the splices were very reasonable...You tell it, don't ask it!
Badger has another great show as usual! I was there today and watched you running the Insley for awhile. It was looking like rain about the time I was getting ready to leave. But that doesn't matter, it's all sand up there, and dries up again very fast. Anyone close to the area should get out and enjoy it all!
Im going tomorrow to walk around
Stop by and say hi!
Love all the old iron
Nice seeing all the equipment, thanks Geoffrey
G..........Old American here enjoying Old American Iron...............Thanks!!
You bet!
Can't beat the sound of those old D7s.
Looks like a good turnout Geoffrey! 😎👍
looks like it will be a good show if it doesn't rain too much
Absolutely loved watching all of this! Definitely put in a bid for the saw mill. It would be amazing to see that restored. Looking forward to the next update!
Great stuff, didn't know Pembine was so close to our camp in Hermansville, please keep up the good content 🤠
Thankyou, I’ll try to.
Thanks Geoffrey hope you have a good show
It’s always a good show, even if not everything goes as planned.
I like the thumbnail 😂
No one can accuse me of posting click bait, I take what the system gives me.😀
@@oldamericaniron5767 There ya go, that’s what I do I just use what it gives me 😂
What stood out to me was the amount of Case steamers that were in beautiful shape so glad they are there to be appreciated and admired but you Insley looks in really good shape was that a 3/4 yard or a full yard bucket? And I was impressed with your camera as you were cruising through the display it didn’t pick up any vibrations or bouncing! Don’t work too hard G and don’t get so busy that you forget to have a good time!😀🇨🇦
I think it’s 3/4, I should have it going sometime tomorrow. I can always count on hearing from you, always appreciated.
That saw mill would be great to see restored and running
Probably a good reason for someone else to get it. I always have big eyes for things but time and age is slowing me down, but I’d still love to have it!
Looks like it will be a fine show. Always enjoy your rock crushing demonstrations.😎
Thankyou, hope to get some video tomorrow.
