Repairing an old MIGHTY MAC Wood Chipper
I had to do a little work on this old free chipper I picked up off the side of the road a few years ago. A 1989 Amerind-Mackissic Mighty Mac wood chipper, model 12P.

Hi.👋 Algorithms brought up your channel. The 1965-1967 Mustang Coupe is my dream cah. I hear your accent.👍 I'm from Bahstan. Where are you at?🤷♀️
Oh nice shed! I do all my organization like Dominos too.
My wife and I call those "divorce machines" Nice job getting up and running. For a split second I thought "he's gona run that kayak through it!" Cheers
Congratulations! I love the style you film in... I'm making a list of your tricks so I can steal them.
You're getting there Tom, good job.
Good next step. Progress where you can is key!
I got cool stickers, inspiration, heard great music, and was able to watch someone restore his old Mustang the same way I do my Falcon! 😊
Love the car and vids. Did you have much experience working on cars before this? Do you know what you are going to to with the paint yet? Rattle can? Leave the patina?
My experience prior to this was general maintenance, so this car is a learning project for sure. Paint vs. patina: hell, I might not even wash it.
@ I like your style 👍
Love the car, love the grumpy tired mood, enjoying the cursing, hope you can fix bad rust spots, have a good time with the car.
Jesus Tom, you are 6' 3" and you have been cramming yourself inside that metal box for two years? Dedication. Congrats! What is next?
Next: rear frame rail/trunk rust
Nice man
11:29 🩵
Glad to have you back!
Fucken-A is right man! It felt good seeing you behind the wheel again. The long journey just got a little shorter. She’s looking good.
That’s a big step! You made the right call on the headliner.
Now they'll break the window to get in.
You must be a lot of fun at parties.
Good job on the floor. A job i have got to do myself on the 66. I am wondering why you are stripping the panel of paint. Mine got delivered in black as well and i just drill them and weld them in. I thought I read they are covered in black weld thru primer. Keep at it!
the black coating is called EDP. it is a primer but not a weld-thru primer, so at minimum you should remove around weld areas and add your own weld-thru. EDP is primarily to protect the body panel in storage. I've seen it flake off some panels in the past, so I decided to strip and repaint myself. Honestly not sure if it was worth the time, ha.
Thanks!
I need to get a project stang so badly
I’ve watched innumerable car restoration videos and this one is amazing. Great job on all aspects of your build!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
On a scale 1-10 how tired are you of working on this car
between 4-5. Not too crazy tired of it. The repetitive nature of the welding has worn me down the most. Can't wait to get back to the mechanical stuff.
Looks to be getting all cut out of it and replaced. It’ll be over probably before first snow
perhaps you haven't seen the rear frame rail, ha. I'll be spending my winter in the trunk.
What a job ! what savagery ! but it’s progressing ! go go Tom !
Just came across your channel from Reddit and find out you're in the same state! Very cool, just trying to get into my project car, its been almost 2 years since I got it and life + body got in the way!
Hey, man! I just watched your videos. Seems like you gave up on it a couple years ago, so cool if you're giving it a renewed try. In many ways, your car looks ssssooo much better than mine, but we've got different end goals, which makes all the difference. Hope you make some progress on it. (PS: I did the same exact thing when I looked at my cowl during the buy, and mine was completely rotted on both ends. ah well).
@@tompappalardo Appreciate you checking out my car. I did abandon it soon after I started because of the mountain of work, but am resolved to at least give it a good try. I'm no pro at this stuff, but its therapeutic to some degree. Funny that I know what to look for in a buy NOW lol
I’m working on my own “six” right along with you. Had it for a year and the damn thing keeps showing new things for me to fix. Finally drove it sorta for the first time since 93 under its own power for a tank of gas but it still has a vacuum leak needs body work (hail damage or it was just used as a shelf the whole time it was garaged) all new brake system minus the master cylinder which is well on its way soon about to buy another carb since it had one for a manual and it’s auto. Also the cheap one I bought I broke when putting the fuel filter in the front so it now has a lower half made in China with the top half Ford. Exhaust needs to go really bad linkages are loose all over I haven’t even touched the trans except new fluid and filter but it shifts fine so I’ll probably leave that until it eats itself and the diff seal needs replaced. I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot but I’ll likely get done about the same time as you do since I have about the same barriers as you. I was hit on my motorcycle in 2019 and broke my spine so I have my own back problems and I feel for you with your potato chip column. Keep yer head up and yer chin down or something like that. I enjoy watching your videos when I’m taking a break from my own project.
She may not look like much, and she ain't got it where it counts
Great video, its fun to see DIY work. Agreed on the seam sealer.
Damn fine job! Always look forward to a new episode. Cheers from here.
Tom- Congrats on the floor. Thats such an achievement, and it looks really good. The carpet will hide all sins anyway.... Rock on
Congrats on finishing the floor! that's big hurdle. Can't wait to see the recovered seats in there. Keep it up!
Sorry to bother you brotha but quick question if you don't mind, I have a 1999 rav4 manual 2wd and want to put the 235-70r16 falken like yours in your opinion will I have any trouble other than minor rub on full lock I also want to do it stock with no lift i dont mind to cut some parts in order for clearance , thanks sorry to bother
I get minor rub at full lock but it doesn't really bother me (usually just happens when i'm moving around in my driveway). If you want to see what you'd have to cut, watch this Lab Coat Paul video - ua-cam.com/video/2I2EbRZ0JDc/v-deo.html - I might do it eventually, but it's not a priority for me.
Thank you very much for the response I really appreciate it and also for your advice coming from your experience, I really like the way your rav4 looks with the wildpeaks it looks really nice , thanks again brotha I'll check that video out , keep up the good content on the Little rav4
hey man awesome RAV4 videos. your videos have inspired me to try and fix my 98 Rav4. only has 120k miles, bad steering pump and little bit of rust. It was my mom's car before she passed away. I want to thank you for your videos. I don't know shit about fixing cars but your videos have helped me push towards fixing her. thanks again please keep posting Rav4 Videos.
They're pretty cool little rigs. 120k is great! You're due for a timing belt if it hasn't been done yet. Good luck!
Nice video, as always. I worked on my Mustang this weekend (rear leaf springs) and had your tunes jammin the entire time! 🎸
Varnished gas worse than old gear oil in the differential ?
That’s the problem with these old fixes, fix one thing then downstream something else is going to fail, and you go down that wormhole, all good if you expect it and have the finances. As my buddy used to say, “it’s a pain in the dick”
Coat Hanger “temporary”, that was a perm fix in my day of teenhood.
12:10 I loved working on carburetors, my 1986 Honda XL 600, (In 1988) would stall on me constantly, even after bringing to Honda for service. I took the carb off, gave it a complete cleaning, and it ran like a clock after that, unfortunately 2 weeks later went through a ladies windshield and shattered my left leg 9 months in a cast, rods, one doctor even saying amputation was possible, but the advent of the EBI Bone Healer saved my leg, anyway , I digress.
That’s a giant oil filter for a 6, wow.
I remember in the 80s we got cars like this for $500-$750 in good running shape. If I only knew, same for the Rolex I bought in 2002 for $3800, I should have bought 3 of them, and could have sold the 2 unopened for 18k each a few years back.
I'm working on one now. No more Vermont tags though. Love the Rockauto boxes and the budget restore. I call myself a preservationist. Love fixing the things that are broken. Best video out there showing it how it is. Young people should see this and learn the pleasures of working with your hands and the satisfaction of accomplishment. I'm 65 and spent my life doing this, slowly learning the techniques. Cheers my friend.
I truly look forward to these uploads. Also - bonus cheap Squier content. Also also - output jack repair: approved.
As an owner of this model this was satisfying. Thanks 🙏
im subbing because... Fuck it. I like the cut of your jib.
This isnt right
Getting close to having a driving project. Looking good
It’s a fussy job, but you got there man. Humor is on point as usual. (I looked at the weld)
Another box to check. Check.
WTG Tom! I love your videos.. not many folks would tackle a torque box...can't wait to see what you crush next...keep em coming!
Entertaining... and the fire part was a bonus... Cheers from the shed
Love watching your build. You show how 90% of America does builds. Just no one else has the balls to admit it.
Geez that rear frame rail. But atleast you can’t mess it up anything will be an improvement over that
