Old vintage tractor..will it run after many years? - Vice Grip Garage EP43
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 жов 2019
- This old Minneapolis Moline M602 tractor has been sitting for a long time. It only makes sense that I go unprepared to work on reviving it after many years. Do you think it will start? This old tractor has lots of character, and sure gives a guy a big fight! It clearly needed an ignition rebuild, but of course, I didn't have all the parts. The updraft carburetor also needs a rebuild. Who do you think will win?

a guy wasnt prepared for that little speech there at the end
I know right.
Yeah, that hit me where I live too. Derek's doin' the Lord's Work, one sparkolator at a time.
@@zephead843 LOL Well said man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Derek is the man !!!
A Guy choked up a little bit
A guy kinda got hit hard deep down in there by dereks speech.
“People are afraid to fail... You’ll never know unless you get out there and try”
Warmed my blood pump.
"blood make-it-happener", surely. :)
Same here, you mix humor, with ASMR, and a touch of life lessons, and you have a recipe for the greatest youtuber of all time.
I was really looking forward to seeing you make the 3 hour drive home on this bad boy after a good burnout 😋
Omg, I literally lol'ed
I too, am disappointed.
This is a fantastic reminder of why I'm addicted to VGG. Even though all of the new content keeps me hooked, I so enjoy the classic episodes like this one. God Bless!
Your phrases are second to none.... “beat on more than a cabin screen door” and “I’d rather low crawl though barbed wire in a hail storm”...... 😂
“We are gonna do the right thing and Pretend we looked at em”. Classic.
😂🤷♂️
I've eye grinded many pilot bearings in the past. Never fails to fail but is very cheap.
A true/honest mechanic would have not have lied, nor any other trade. shame on you. your the reason people stay away from slack ass mechanics like you.
ted a he is a farm technician that’s how we fix stuff when something blows up fix it to the best of your ability with baling wire and run till it blows up again then maybe fix it with proper parts
@@TheTed169 The guy makes videos just to piss guys off like you.
He’s like the Bob Ross of cars
Thank you
@@ViceGripGarage I was gonna go with Red Green meets Will Ferrel. :)
The Abandoned South that’s what they say about the car Wizard
Happy little guy
@@BillSeipel Red Green is the vibe I got as well.
Keep your stick on the ice. ;D
Great words of wisdom at the end. If more people were like you. We wouldn't see so many old cars. Sitting in barns, fields, front yards, etc. Just wasting away to nothing.
The #1 reason for that is the cry of every lazy fat boomer in the world - "more than it's worth". "I was buying these cars in 1962 and they were only $300, now it costs $200 for a set of tires 60 years later! more than its worth!" and then the car sits and wastes away while they leave it rot away out of spite and ignorance of time dilation.
You've single handedly showed more that brakes are just a luxury and not a requirement lol
🤣🤣😬😬
Brave men need no brakes. Also, brakes are meant to hinder movement (aka speed).
"It is amazing how many drivers, even at the Formula One Level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down." -Mario Andretti
I built my first bike around the age of 12 and it didn't have any brakes either. LOL
Kjkdfj986 ve ben seni hiç
Nothing I have has spark or brakes. But they've got plenty of oil leaks!
Haha.. i hear ya
If you have good equipment and its not leaking oil then its not running
🤣🤣
If it aint leakin theres no oil in it!
@@andyreid7274 are we talkin about harleys or triumphs?
I bought a Minneapolis Moline that a broken seat so I mounted the front part of an old horse saddle I had laying around to sit on until I got a different seat. I was out bouncing around on it in the field when my wife walked out and wanted to try it. So she got on it and went bouncing along and after a few minutes, she had this silly smile on her face. She rode it till the dang thing ran out of gas and then dragged me into the house and it wasn't even Saturday night. The next day I painted the name For Play above the Minneapolis moline on the hood.
“Your never guna know unless you just try, so get off your butt, get out there and start spinning wrenches” spoken like a good man and a great dad
"not sure where I am. I keep hearin' dirt bikes and someone sightin' in a rifle." Yeah, that's America. Or heaven with a tractor to fix.
Not just America your red headed stepchild to the North is just the same lol
@@seancusteau8144 Oh, Canada... :)
And of course I cut my finger down to hip bone....hilarious!
Beautiful words, my friend.
@Colin Killian If you say so. 🙄
The descriptive whistling gets me every time.
Dude,you gave a new fan. I just keep watching. I hope you get some type of compensation from sponsors or what not. You're one of the few on youtube that deserve it. There are no failures just life lessons. Yeah ,I know ,corny. Love the videos bro.
Thank you, appreciate that!
That voiceover at the end was so amazing. Kind of reminds me of that Bear outdoors guy mixed in with a little Bushradical.
Where they say some positive words to encourage a guy who's down, down on his luck. Can't believe I waited so long to see this.
Revivals will still be my favorite. Even if they don't turn out to be happy endings. Life's like that. Doesn't always work out.
My Dad used to say "If you don't fail, your not doing anything"
I like that. Simple but yet true👍
My dad always says ''don't do nothin don't do nothin wrong.''
@@austin-1973With that attitude I would NEVER get anything done in My shop!!!!
There is another saying I flick my daughter when she has got the shits with something that didn't work out well the first attempt. " A master has failed more times than you have tried"
My dad used to tell us kids, nothing ventured nothing gained
You have to fall to learn how to get back up again, and God knows i have fallen plenty of times, but Thank God He's Always been there to pick me back up and try it all over again😁😁🙏🙏🙏
As someone still learning about engines and mechanic work, I appreciate you giving more explanation in this one. About half of what I know about engines now comes from watching your
videos.
Awesome, that's great to hear
@@ViceGripGarage and just a little concerning 😅
@@ViceGripGarage Agreed! Love your vids, I really enjoyed the teaching moments!
Thanks!
Another awesome video man sen almost all of them now I lsike the goofy light heartedness of the issues that come up that suck, fixing things can be really frustrating but you can tell you know your shit and seem to enjoy it. Always awesosme content. Keep kickin names and takin ass man.
My brother had a MM M670. spent quite a lot of time working with and on that beast. He's passed now, and the farm is gone, but seeing these old tractors brings back memories.
Dad's favorite tractor, a MM UB diesel,, one year started loosing coolant, Pa said think it's head gasket, soon as we're done it's rebuild time for that one, of course as soon after done filling silo started fall plowing, after milking one nite thought got enough time to finish that one field, in my hurry didn't top radiator, made one round and it made a pop snap noise,,, and stopped, walked home told pa we unhooked plow dragged it home to the shop,, 2 days later picked up a 1066 with a 5-18 plow, took me 6 months to find a head for the mm ub diesel,,, but Dad kept the mm ub right up till we were done farming, in fact it was the last piece of machinery sold
I love VGG and I love MM tractors.
This might be my favorite VGG episode ever.
I watch to enjoy the comedy! You are a natural.
Thanks Bill
Can’t wait no one gets them running like you! I especially love it when you start throwing parts you don’t need
I'm A city fella but every summer as a kid id go live out on my aunt's farm in the country...they had a 1948 John Deere tractor(I forget what model...it was big! 😂) still in service and it was the late 80s...first thing I ever learned to drive lol they gave me an old broken briggs and stratton riding mower and a tool set to tinker with....suprised my uncle's when i figured out how to get her running again...took the blades off and all that stuff and used it to get around the farm to do my various chores....she had 18 horses ...fun times!!!!
His GVI on propane he pulls with is a beast.
You need to start selling shirts that say “well I’ll be dipped”
I will take 2 dozen of them please
10/10 would definitely buy
Yep, a guy would but that.
And the back say, yep, she's factory!
Hey, I 2nd,3rd, and 68th this suggestion. Would have 69th also... but would have got a blown rod or something apparently... sign me up for 36.8 of them.
"Cut my finger all tHe way down to my hip bone" I ended up with a lap full of cold snacks!
🤣🤷♂️ sorry!
Wow, I grew up 4 blocks from Minneapolis Moline
You brought back many memories of me working on my dad's 8 and 9 ford and jubilee . Many times the line from glass bowl to carb would clog up. Thanks for the memories. I am 70 now.
Love the end speech mate, very true. Good vid
Thanks Mike
Guy is hilarious... plays like a dope but he's overflowed with mechanical knowledge
😁👍🏻
It wasn't a complete failure. You did, after all, get it to run, so to speak, so mission accomplished. 😊😊
Ah a trip down memory lane. This was the very first video of yours that I watched many moons ago, back when I first started getting into car UA-camrs.
It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come.
mid episode: "a guy should never stand next to a tractor while starting it"
end of the episode: *funnels 2 stroke into the carb and cranks on it
'e's gonna have a problem trying to start an old sidewinder John Deere then
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 great comment
LOL! And I'm guessing many guys did it in the past considering the ignition key was sticking out the side by the carb. File this under why women live longer than men.
You gave it a valiant effort most people would not have even attempted to tackle on such a huge project, so i give you two thumbs up my brother👍🏽👍🏽
Something ablaut the smell of old tractors instantly take me back to my grandfather's tractor garage 60 years ago. I LOVE that smell!
Got my Dodge coronet back on the road after 6 years of sitting. Like I said in another video of yours you got me motivated again to spin the wrenches. I have another car that has been sitting since 2010 I need to fire up again. Thanks for the kick in the butt to get them rolling again.
Yin & yang, that’s the beauty of life.. Solid episode my cousin, doing me a proud
Thanks Matt - miss all ya'll over there!
IrishStew That is success - gettin’ shut runnin’ is just gravy, eh.
Cheers from yer inbred, mouth breathin’ cousins From CANADA 🇨🇦
I don't know about everyone else on here I love to see a MASTER at work!👍
What a beautiful old girl, wonderful to hear it run.
Back in the 70s my brother in law had a U model, a 602 and a 670. The 602 had a 5” stroke so he did a 6” stroke kit on it. Made it close to 70hp like the 670. All three were propane. I ran them a couple years. Had some great times doing the farming thing.
Love these old tractors got no use for one but buying one tomorrow was my pops an ol 52 Ford
Oh man. That speech at the end. Got me off my butt in an instant.
excellent!
I love that it was shooting things out of the exhaust at you.
I love them old tractors, miss being back home and driving my dads old 1940 Farmall A
9:56 "She's got the auto eject clamps on 'er.... That's handy" BAWHAHAHA
That's factry
😂
@@davepeck1828 factry you say??? Well I'll be dipped! A guy usually has to pay xtra for a dodad like that.
Haha best part of the vid
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.
"
W. C. Fields
Great speech at the end. Can`t save them all, but you don`t know until you try.
I chuckled when he said get out there and start spinning wrenches. I'm in Edmonton, Canada and it's minus 30 C outside right now and I don't think I can spin a wrench fast enough to stay warm. Much better to stay inside and watch a few more of these older episodes and avoid the frostbite situation.
"Course I cut my finger all the way down to my hip bone" got me good on this one
couldn't understand that. Isn't the hip bone really far away? He's meaning something else, isnt he.
@@LAactor he means that the cut was so deep that it went through his body
It's exaggeration for comedic relief, like Phillips Milk of Magnesia is relief for the s#&*^, I don't know, it's like, "my headaches so bad, my brother had to take 2 Tylenol and go to bed", darn it's getting worse now isn't it.
Sorry........
"Auto eject clamps " Love it !!!
My Grandfather had an M602 it ran ok but it always sputtered some especially on cold damp days. Uncle Gary was a mechanic and he couldn't completely get it either. I remember him cutting a rubber glove to cover the distributor cap. Once it really warmed up, it was great.
My 1953 MM UB gasser had the same trouble. Your fuel line needs to be primed. Loosen your gas cap and maybe crack the line fitting at the carb. It will stay primed until you run it out of gas again
It’s gravity fed. It should fill itself with no issue on that alone. It’s clear he’s got either a blockage in the line or the float needle isn’t working right.
Justin Stearns Mine did this with new fuel line, sediment bowl, and a rebuilt tsx67 carb. There was no blockage. If it ran out of gas, it acted just like a vapor lock, and gas would not flow from the sediment bowl to the carb until I loosened the new gas cap and the fuel line fitting at the carb. Then, gas would flow and fill the carb bowl to the proper level. I tightened the fitting and gas cap, and everything worked properly for months until I ran it out of gas again. Rinse and repeat.
Mister Ed Huh. I’ve never ran into that with my Farmalls or my Oliver. I doubt it’s just an MM thing, but I can’t say I’ve seen that happen, unless the gas cap vent was bad or something.
I've seen that problem on the 60s Molines.
Sounds right. I thought maybe a rotten fuel line with a pin hole leak causing it not to prime but you're probably right
I hope there is a part 2 for this tractor as I enjoyed part 1 :)
Thinkin about it!
@@ViceGripGarage If that carb works on a venturi might there be some sort of blockage that prevents that? Or a leak? Enjoyed the video!
Need more gas in fuel tank. No fuel pump, you need a couple gallons minimum for pressure at the carb not a dribble. Second a guy might be better off not shooting thru the oil bath air filter but right into carb hose. 3rd, moline 4cyl liked half throttle and full choke for 1-2 full cranks then full release off of choke. It's like Hunter hitting the crack pipe.
You got to love when someong cross threads a plug hole runs them in any way!
I’ll tell ya what got ME wicked excited….I saw all that McCulloch yellow on the shelf and felt like I was on a prom date!!!!!❤️
If I had $1 for every time vice grip said “A guy” I would have enough money to completely Restore one of his cars he bought
A guy could restore a car with all of that product buyer
You sir are a diamond in the rough!! I appreciate all you are doing , and wish you the best in the future. This is good ole fun and instructional as well. You have a GREAT attitude and definitely know what you are doing. Keep up the great work!! New subscriber here and I'm going to tell all my friends to check you out as well!!
Thank you for subscribing I really appreciate it!
Derek you tickle me every time when your putting things together and you say you use old lawn mower oil or old lawn mower gas that’s been setting for a couple of years lol. God Bless my friend keep up the good work 👍👍
Holy cow that bowl was dirty.. love seeing you tackle different equipment 👍🏼
"it has a really soft.. I'm going to strip and ruin your head.. Feel to it" best line of ever heard on the old UA-cam..
Haha
I hate that feeling anti seeze on every plug I change!!
That's what she said!!😉😉🙏🏻
I really enjoyed "Truth be told I'd rather low crawl through barbed wire in a hail storm." I just know it's the truth because he said "I'd" and not "A guy".
Didn’t know a guy knows his way around the agricultural equipments. She’s factory
He's as handy as a pair of Vice Grips !! 😎
Just Mint, right?
If it's got sparkolators and a whirligig, Derek will get her goin'.
pronounced FACT-TREE HAHA
That’s why a feller’s got a service truck
1/2” 9/16” & 5/8” - so comforting, fella always had about 12 duplicates of those sizes.
I had a 1958 Ford work master it was great. Aways started. one time it sat for 6 months and it was -30 degrees jumped up on it and it started right away. They made good stuff back in the day
Valiant effort by a guy. Can't win em all. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching
I really enjoyed that episode! Thanks for your hard work in creating great content and encouragement to go out and save some of these old work horses!
Thank you friend!
I know I'm about 6 months late but that was a nice little speech at the end. Watching these videos is what's got me thinking I can fix my grandpa's '79 Chevy C10 250ci. I'd like to keep it as original as possible and give it to my uncle. He'd really appreciate since he has more memories with it than I do.
I love Minneapolis Molines grew up watching them
I really like what you said at the end of the video, that was pretty amazing! God Bless you my Friend...
Thank you 👍👍
"I'd rather low crawl through barbed wire in a hail storm" 😂😂😂
true story
One could think a guy used to be some kind of super soldier :D
😉
@@ViceGripGarage Dereck, are you a Vet?
Old tractors are temperamental. Helped my father rebuilt a 1939 farmall. The starter was shot so we had to use the handcrank ! Fond memories... please keep making these videos. Best on Utube !!!
Yep a fella is starting too go back in old videos! Love it
Those minnies start every time. I have restored over 20 of them. Unless they are in pieces they will break and run.
The ending is hilarious and also depressingly true at the same time. I felt like I was watching a hunting show from the 90s or something.
Haha... glad you enjoyed
Glen Ward from Massey Ont.,owsome time watching,be proud to to know you,Stuges was a event,always there ,take care.You have a frieind .
Love this. It reminds me of my great grandpa's old 1950 Minneapolis-Moline model U tractor.
I'll have my cold snacks ready.
I really did'nt care about tractors , before I saw you work on one, bloody good show!!! rock on Vice Man!
Thank you
The M670 is what I ran when I was 15 years old working with the farmers here in the Louisiana rice fields! It was diesel!
I really appreciate how he explains things like the antique fuel filter and never seen an updraft carb my grandad had mentioned them once or twice befor he passed in 2015 it's pretty cool to see after all these years
if you can dump fuel down the hatch like that, it might be a vac leak somewhere on that manifold
This is the first time seeing your videos, and I really dig it man. I love vintage or old machinery, tractors all that. You've got my subscription. Keep up the awesome work
You where close play with antique tractors all the time. keep up the videos.
“Get off your butt, get out there, and start spinning wrenches.” That’s great, Derek!! I love getting out in my shop and getting dirty. I introduced that to my boys at a young age, and they both decided to go to tech school. One is an aircraft mechanic and the other is an HVAC tech.
We love trades work at our house - guys like us will always have a job!! Thanks for all the great content, totally enjoying your channel!!
A feller’s gonna win some, and he’s gonna lose some... main thing is to keep on snippin’ and snaggin’ til a guy gets ‘er done
Wearing a CASE ballcap while working on an old Moline :) Irony at it's finest or is it?
😉😉😉
Maximus Decimus Meridius ...maybe you just figured out the problem ! These old girls
can get mighty jealous !
Jamie Morgan yes sir🙏🏽😂
Grew up on a farm in Georgia during 80's. Put a many miles/hours on a 1970 John Deere 4020 with duals and cab. We row cropped. Georgia had 3 consecutive summers of drought...difficult time. But, many great memories and life lessons learned. My Grandaddy set me on the right path for life.
Loved this. My father taught me how to use a clutch on my Grandfather's old Ford tractor out in one of his pastures in Eastern Washington when I was about 10. Have had a soft spot for old tractors ever since.
Front 40 needs plowin'... let's test on 'er!!
Desperately waiting for part 2 of this. Love old tractors
Love the service daily sticker on the canner thinger!
My buddy has one that he uses in tractor pulls. That tractor is a beast !
Working the needle, sitting back and playing with the floats haha
The MM were a very good tractor. I had a MM 445 and a MM 5 Star diesel.
The series you are working on is in the family line of probably the best most reliable tractors that Minneapolis Moline ever made. They started in the 1930s as the KT series then became the U series and then updated to the UB series. Then the 5 star was the next one in the family line. After that it went to the M5, then M504 then M602, M604, M670 and finally ending in M670 Super.
Your tractor has a 336 ci engine. These are a very good torquey engine.
You can actually turn your 336 into a 403 ci engine. Find a MM G tractor with the 403 engine and swap those parts into your 336.
COOL to YOU this info!!!... There was a cab model that was actually for going out on the town w your gal >? you know which it was ??, I had heard it was the "Bling Thing" of the farm communities of its day! I guess,, they cruised downtowns in them etc. ? Can you add any info here if am hearing an old farm equipment story correctly... not that any others after but it was a 30s early 40s MM tractor cab of particular invent for its timing then.
The message at the end was on point. Other than ego, there's no harm to trying. Often times ego is a boat anchor, so don't let it hold you back.
Speech at the end there gave a guy a little jolt in the old sparkulator!
I like his ballast resistor he had hanging around the lightening maker
I remember driving an MM on my Baba's Farm in the early 1970s. I was about 12 yrs old and got it stuck pretty good along a Slough. I loved the Hand Clutch it had, compared to the Foot Clutch of the McCormick
a guy did an old 1950 David Brown, been lying under a hedge for 10 years, took me a month of couple of hours after work a couple of days a week before dark to get the old girl going, sat in our driveway as our boat tractor for ten years, got a huge sense of achievement from getting her working again, nothing like working on junk & getting em going again :)
Sometimes things just don't want to comeback and go to work. Derek you gave it a good shot and nothing to be ashamed of for sure.
"Get off your butt, get out there and start spinning wrenches."
Words to live by.
