Few people are aware that NIMROD was a king in the Old Testament that was known as a good hunter. Being called a nimrod is actually a compliment, if you take it right.
@@georgepretnick4460 i think what happened here is you had no idea what nimrod means so you looked it up on google and this is the definition that google gives you
My Grandpa in Remer had a big Detroit v12 generator sitting in a box truck body that he used as a power source for his walking field sprayers!! Wonder if its the same one.
Hey Sam, great fun. People wonder why some of us actually enjoy the struggle of getting these old things to work. The knowledge gained ( figuring shit out) is what it's all about. These machines and those like it are what made the US the leader of the world. The simple reliability of these machines is worthy of our respect and admiration. Thanks for sharing!😊
Mad respect on making the replacement stem for that fuel direction valve! Don't sell yourself short on your machining skills!! Great job getting the old beast running!
Love this video I was in the Coast Guard from 1966-1970 and GM 71 series were everywhere. In Alaska we had two 671 Generators. In Michigan the 40 foot boats ran on Two 671’s. What a sound! The 36 foot boat had a 471. In Vietnam on our patrol boat we had two Generators powered my two, 671’s. In my year in vietnam one 271 would be running constantly and we would switch one every week. Those 271’s ran without much more maintenance than changing the oil and filter regularly. In WWII the Landing Crafts the Coast Guard used to take the troops to the Beach at Normandy and in the Pacific theater were powered by the 671’s!
In 1958 to 1960 I went to a diesel engine school at Lamar University in Beaumont,Tx. We had a GM 268 A 8 cylinder in our shop. The engine came out of a submarine.We started it ,and ran it.The generator on the unit was also the starter. Good show.Clarence Baumbach Crosby Tx.
Sam, THIS is why I LIVE AND BREATHE 2 STROKES!! That thing sounds SOOO GOOD!! What a SWEETHEART!! She will start firing consistently on all 3 once you have a cooling system, even if it is tank cooled, and it gets up to temperature! One exhaust valve is leaking by-will probably clean up in time as long as not rust pitted and or channeled. I would check for one that is set too tight (not enough or no clearance). You can hear compression blowing by in the exhaust on shut down. You have a National Treasure there! What a beautiful engine! Clark cycle 2 stroke. The GM diesels, all 3 lines, were the greatest diesels in world history, hands down. They will never be surpassed and it is for myriad reasons! I simply dig all of the 3 divisions’ engines dearly! If I had to rely on a diesel to survive under life and death circumstances, it would be a 2 stroke Detroit, Cleveland, or EMD, and no way would I trust my life to ANY 4 stroke. Uh-uh, NO WAY! This is an artifact to be lovingly preserved! Also, that exciter dynamo probably needs a load to build up to 125 volts. Reconnecting to the main generator field coils gives you the load. A standard incandescent bulb wired across the field wires will show when voltage is up by brightness. I recommend a 130 volt bulb over a 120 volt one here. 40-100 watts will do. I am an electrician as well, so this stuff is easy for me! And the “polarization” process is just jump starting the exciter dynamo that has lost residual permanent magnetism in the core. If it is putting 6 volts out, once loaded again, it should have enough residual magnetism to pick up. It may take a few seconds or many minutes but should pick up. Even the above mentioned bulb can load it enough to pick up. It just needs a load to do so, a volt meter is not even close to enough load. CHEERS MAN AND CONGRATS FOR ENTERING MY WORLD! 😋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌👌👌
Love your style all the little details make it worth it I especially liked the fact you used a period correct lathe to build your directional valve not fully depending on a CnC. Hats off to Matt over at Diesel Creek for turning me onto your channel. It’s always good to see what have been scrapped into a running piece of history. 🍻
Impressive machining work Sam , my dad was a precision Engineer , im sure he would relate to what you did ! Your calculations for setting up the first machine just flowed way over my head ! But dad would have understood !
The calculations are fairly simple when you have a physical part to wrap your head around. The other stuff like G-codes are a little more complicated but with a little practice it becomes second nature. G54 is to set the origin in the machine, or where you start measuring your cuts from in absolute or relative measurements.
Sam, I enjoyed your explanations of the process of making the new filter valves. You were clear in your step-by-step description of your machining. Beautiful job! Great to see that running again. I love seeing how excited you and Matt get when things are running again.
The Commer two stroke supercharged diesel was I think, A German designed Dornier Bomber Aircraft engine licensed to Routes Group as War Reparations after the Second World War. Would Bark like a Mad Dog.
Love your work Sam and the pooches too! Great to see the younger generation keeping alive ye olde world tech skills. A credit to you my friend. Hi to all from South Australia.
Hi Sam, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say you absolutely knocked it out of the ballpark with your latest UA-cam video! I really enjoyed your clear and straightforward explanations, especially when you were machining the part on the Haas equipment and doing the other machining on the lathe. Your ability to break down complex processes into layman's terms is truly impressive and incredibly helpful for those of us who aren't as familiar with machine shop practices. I would encourage you to keep up this approach in future videos.(please do more of this) It's a fantastic way to make the content accessible and engaging for a wider audience. It's a sad fact that more people might be involved in this sort of work if it actually paid a decent wage and was more respected by upper management. Your videos are a great step towards changing that perception. great, great, great, great! Keep up the great work!
Amazing watching the technology available today to the machinist, my dad worked in the machine shop at chevy gear and axle in detroit in the 40s 50s and 60s repairing cutters and machining parts for the 100s of Gleeson machines used to cut ring and pinion gears, they did it with dial indicators, slide rules and micrometers, how things have changed for the better today.
Sam Very nice job 👍 I’m a machinist with almost 43 years of both Manual & CNC work. As much as I rely heavily on the speed & accuracy of CNC there still is something very fulfilling of making parts with your own hands & creativity.
Hey Sam! The similar era EMD locomotive engines use a "string wound" fuel strainer with a stainless steel core. The ones we get for the train museum in San Diego are made with polypropylene cord and cost about $6 each from Oil Filter Service. You can get them with a variety of cord materials to suit the application. We ordered them to length (10" or 9.75" worked for ours) and the OFS team took good care of us. Hope this helps!
Yeah, just find a permanent location there inside, and plumb the exhaust right out through the roof like a permanent alternate power setup. Most generators of this size don't live outside anyway. 100Kw would pull the whole farm, shop, house, pumps, and a few of the neighbors.
Naah, simple fan in the eves one on each side. One smaller one blowing in and a larger one pulling to pull it all up and out. Thats how mine is, when its full of smoke i can hit the fan and all smoke is clear in less that 15-20 seconds
@@jbj27406 i wasnt talking about it running full time all day all night much less “inside the shop”, im talking about anything that he has in there including sanding or general fumes. Would take an idiot to have that running inside full time🤣
kool i was in the navy on DD839. 839 was commissioned in 1939 and it had one forward and one aft they were 268A 3 calendar 3 stroke . because of the so called saving air from the blowers, That was 1976 we rebuilt the USS Powers DD 839 .took it to sea for a year and thin it was sold to Japan and is now a historic moment some where in japan. One of the Best times of my life, I'm now 67 and retired I was a engine men and they were my station underway or one of thin, great and rear experience. Thanks a lot, i watched you bring it home. great Job, I am impressed well done. PS they didn't get much time running, just start up to keep it in the reedy state. i doubt it has 500 running HRS on it, it ran clean. you should change the oil in the governor it is separate from the engine. and mostly likely 95 years old...lol
I really hope that you find it in your heart to fully restore this great old piece of history. Also, your owning of a Monarch EE shows are a man of good taste. Please take great care of it.
I don’t think watching this on UA-cam allows us to hear the engine run. Something’s just can’t be what we would like but, having said that, what a cool experience. I could hardly wait for the second video. Thanks for the quickness of the second video. SUPER!
Thank you Sam! Great to hear the giant bus motor run again. Your ingenuity, mechanic and machine shop skills are admirable. After you paint it and get the electrical issues straightened out, I would donate it to the National Pike Museum so the rest of the world can see and hear it.
Sam, you are first I've seen on UA-cam that knows to put a good button of weld on a broken/rusted bolt before trying to weld another bolt to it. Most just try to weld to a rusty broken stud with inadequate results.
What a blast to see that thing running. With all three cylinders popping it sounds excellent!! I also loved you mom coming in there and starting it and her wise cracks as well! LOL!
Funny when you tried to show your mom it stopped working. I am a software developer and anytime I'd try to show my wife an app I built it would hit a bug and stop. LOL. Making that valve was impressive. I still laugh and smile at how excited you and Matt get when you get an old beast running. I know the same feeling when debugging someone else's old junk code and getting their app running.
Just started watching your channel and I have been binge watching your shows in reverse order . There are lots of channels of “ Will it start”. but none have a machinist that makes parts using a conventional lathe and CNC milling. I enjoyed the explanation of the CNC mill. The fabrication of old parts sets your channel apart. Do more of this type of will it start videos!!!
Nothing like making something run from our past to make you feel connected to it.Great video to show what its like to be driven to a purpose.Really enjoyed this story thank you.
Loved it Sam!! My mother could definitely identify with yours. My brother and sister would laugh at me for having all my toy taken apart shortly after getting them to see how they worked!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your ability to explain and put your visions into reality. As a retired over the road driver, I appreciate the unspoken caution you take resurrecting a two stroke (Detroit diesel style) engine. One time in all my years did I have a runaway happen, thankfully the emergency shutoff functioned as designed.
from Canada, you are an amazing young man. I'm 77 and all my lathe training was in high school. all movements were without computer aid. to dignose the engine without the specs and find out later you were right is also amazing, that is why i watch your videos. i know how to pick'em, love to see what radiator you will find.........take care. and do it soon, don't know how long I'll be here.
You did good. You could power the whole farm with it. plus, a couple of neighbors. In the day of it's young life it was a beast. It still is, but, today we need to be gentle with these old awesome machines. About like me. I am over 70 YO. Have fun with it. But, be careful. There is a whole lot of compression coming out of those cylinders. God Bless Ya.
Finally it's running. The displacement per cylinder is somewhere between a Detroit and the EMD 567 and so does the sound. At low revs very much like a 567 and at higher revs more like a Detroit. Conical brass plug valves were a common thing on older machinery, they were relatively easy to make compared with other types of valves. When they started leaking it was easy to recondition them with valve lapping compound. A damaged housing could be repaired with a tapered reamer and then a slightly oversize plug could be made to fit the larger bore.
That is one cool engine! It will be super cool if you can get it to produce power as well. Love to see all these old forgotten engines back doin their thing. Thank you for the effort you put into your videos!
It's just awesome. it shows how reliable we use to make everything. Detroit powered go cart, definitely. I'd bet 80 years or so from now this thing could still be running if it were kept out of the weather.
I was waiting for your parents to say look at the soot line towards the top of the shed!, the shed will start looking like an old diesel shop, keep up the good work Sam
Congrats!! Indeed we forget that so many had to not only run--but to repair these & make parts--while under enemy fire!! So glad you reminded us of that!!
IH made torpedos during ww2. Maybe thats how that lathe ended up at penn states torpedo program. IH also made garands and some other stuff for the war effort.
LOVE the sound of those old 2 strokes. Puts me in mind of the Jimmys from days gone by! Cheers mate and a job well done. Cant wait to see it making power again.
I knew you'd do it!!!! Now if you hadn't had that manual, then it really would have taken a long time to get the correct sequence of setting those taps! Thanks go to Dan for that manual!!! The rest is down to SAM. He is the business when it comes to not blowing his own trumpet, when it comes to skilled machining! The rest is because he had played with so many different types of equipment, that he has a built in library of "how to's" in his brain. The first time I saw a Sam video, I was hooked! That was thanks to Matt, Sam is his no1 partner in crimes against scrapping!
Back in the 70s working at Mohawk Rubber in Akron I saw those "Property of the USN" tags on the Undercut machines that built truck tires. I was the youngest electrician in the department and had served in the Navy for six years on old Ocean Going Tugs that had the same tags on equipment.
Installed a brand new v16 Detroit with twin turbos. Derated to 1900hp with big arse alternator. On first run the electician on site tripped the emergency stop to shut it down! Flapper slammed down on the inlet with a huge BANG! Everyone immediately pooped their pants! Boy that engine sounded good at full chooch, which was the only way it ran. Emergency genset for telecommunications. Block heaters etc. From the time the contactor dropped till full power was about 6 seconds. G'day from Tasmania
❤❤❤ you like an awesome job. Getting it running and saving it. I enjoyed your milling process, very neat to see people working with the old milling machines. Now, if you can get the power up and running, it will be a wonderful backup generator for ya
I'm happy you're planning on fixing up this great machine. I originally thought you just wanted to get it running and then forget it but it would be really neat to see it cleaned up, painted and with a working generator. Good work Sam. I didn't know you were also a competent machinist as well.
This was the most satisfying video of your You Tube career yet! Yes that Detroit is old and crusty but she still does the Detroit boogie. Everything should run like a Detroit after 90 years. Keep Scrappin'
Great job. I enjoyed this and the preceding video very much. Great content. I appreciate the knowledge and explanation of of it works. Your machinist skills are top knotch. I'm a manual machinist too. These kind of of projects are great. Good stuff! Thanks
Sam, great job, Sam you go out and buy stuff and make things happen, your old buddy Matt goes out and buys junk or it's plumb worn-out, Let's call it stuff, drags it somewhere on the farm leaving it for a couple of years, and may work on it, Thank you for saving that piece of history
Yeah 100% agree, I think Matt has an auction addiction, I actually get annoyed that he buys stuff and drags it to his house just so it can keep on deteriorating in his yard instead of where it was. As you mentioned Sam buys stuff with purpose and keeps up to date and on top of it all. I think one day Sam will be the popular choice in this field
@@jamesadams1064yeah was going to say exactly this Matt sells a lot of what he buys at auction except for the things he wants to work on but let’s face it how often are you going to use a drag line excavator on a job most stuff he keeps has a use but can’t be sheltered still prefer Sams truck to Matts
@@PedigreeMongrel Matt has almost 900,000 subscribers and that makes a good UA-cam income. Throwing money at auctions is not a problem for him and his fame and channel puts what he drags home on the want list of some subscribers.
@ yep me included I’d love to have some of the machines he has at his disposal likewise with Sam that generator is a piece of history keeping it alive to do some work is amazing I know I’d be happy seeing it come alive after all those years sitting gathering water it’s a miracle that blower still works sat in all that water.
Mush respect 👍🏻 i have a 10EE also, one of the best manual lathes ever made and will be standing the test of time for many years to come. Love the channel.
Sam, Awesome job on giving that 2 cycle engine genset new life ! Love your passion for all things mechanical and how much you care for early well built equipment. Thank you for posting all this interesting equipment 👍👍
It LIVES! Congratulation Sam on the resurrection. Great to see the OG engineering and quality building, of times long gone.....love that you have brought back life to such a iconic piece of equipment....looking forward to more content on this AMAZING machine!
So cool Scrappy , to see it working is remarkable and so well. It's only design was for producing power. The Detroit colors would be appropriate. With lightning bolts 😅. The radiator will be Hugh. Hopefully you find the missing tachometer. Would like to see just how much she can produce. It started like it was just made. Fun to watch 😊.
Hi Sam I Watch & love your stuff you do, but this genarator has definitely blown things out of the water, I knew you would get this old machine going, Anyway great to here it pure like a cat keep up the great stuff thanks for sharing this footage 🙏🏻✌🏻
Taking something that badly seized and making it run is a huge achievement by itself, but with machining new parts too? Absolutely amazing!
It wasn’t badly seized.
Thanks for watching!

One time in all my years did I have a runaway happen, thankfully the emergency shutoff functioned as designed.
from Canada, you are an amazing young man. I'm 77 and all my lathe training was in high school. all movements were without computer aid. to dignose the engine without the specs and find out later you were right is also amazing, that is why i watch your videos. i know how to pick'em, love to see what radiator you will find.........take care. and do it soon, don't know how long I'll be here.
Your accomplishments and your joyous reactions at getting that monster to work are a true joy to watch!!! Well done
I absolutely loved the 2 videos on this engine/generator! Interesting machine as well as great video presentation! presentation 2:15 presentation
Awesome video. Great project. Looking forward to more videos on this beautiful old piece of machinery
You did good. You could power the whole farm with it. plus, a couple of neighbors. In the day of it's young life it was a beast. It still is, but, today we need to be gentle with these old awesome machines. About like me. I am over 70 YO. Have fun with it. But, be careful. There is a whole lot of compression coming out of those cylinders. God Bless Ya.
By tyhe way. To me it sounds like a big butt Perkins.
Dude I cannot believe how much that thing purrs. It sounds really damn good haha. Congrats on getting it going man.
Finally it's running. The displacement per cylinder is somewhere between a Detroit and the EMD 567 and so does the sound. At low revs very much like a 567 and at higher revs more like a Detroit.
Conical brass plug valves were a common thing on older machinery, they were relatively easy to make compared with other types of valves.
When they started leaking it was easy to recondition them with valve lapping compound. A damaged housing could be repaired with a tapered reamer and then a slightly oversize plug could be made to fit the larger bore.
That is one cool engine! It will be super cool if you can get it to produce power as well. Love to see all these old forgotten engines back doin their thing. Thank you for the effort you put into your videos!
Old iron , ya gotta love seeing it brought back to life . Thanks Sam for sharing with us the journey of seeing life breathing again in this relic .
It's just awesome. it shows how reliable we use to make everything. Detroit powered go cart, definitely. I'd bet 80 years or so from now this thing could still be running if it were kept out of the weather.
Monarch 10EE for $500! Well, glad to hear someone who appreciates these machines got one. That's a heck of a deal!
I was waiting for your parents to say look at the soot line towards the top of the shed!, the shed will start looking like an old diesel shop, keep up the good work Sam
Congrats!! Indeed we forget that so many had to not only run--but to repair these & make parts--while under enemy fire!! So glad you reminded us of that!!
IH made torpedos during ww2. Maybe thats how that lathe ended up at penn states torpedo program. IH also made garands and some other stuff for the war effort.
You are appreciated for your service that keep this country free! God Bless you!
Cool Can't wait to see you get the generator end fixed up and you'll have backup power for you and a few neighbors,
LOVE the sound of those old 2 strokes. Puts me in mind of the Jimmys from days gone by! Cheers mate and a job well done. Cant wait to see it making power again.
👌👌👍👍 Machinist Mate First Class - good work! Thank you for your service. They needed someone like you on the Dali a few months ago.
I knew you'd do it!!!! Now if you hadn't had that manual, then it really would have taken a long time to get the correct sequence of setting those taps! Thanks go to Dan for that manual!!! The rest is down to SAM. He is the business when it comes to not blowing his own trumpet, when it comes to skilled machining! The rest is because he had played with so many different types of equipment, that he has a built in library of "how to's" in his brain. The first time I saw a Sam video, I was hooked! That was thanks to Matt, Sam is his no1 partner in crimes against scrapping!
Real impressive machining!
Real smart man you are!
Great engine
Great video
I think this is one of your best videos. Great old military engine, and great mechanicing! It would be great to see it generate power. AWESOME!!
I love to see old engines brought back to life. Thank You for this. Would love to see more work done on this engine. 😊
AWSOME job Sam! Now you can generate power for the farm and shops.👍
Sam I really like how you always have a smile and you complete projects!
Holy Hannah Montana, you have a 10EE? I am in awe of you dude! That is a fine machine bro!
Back in the 70s working at Mohawk Rubber in Akron I saw those "Property of the USN" tags on the Undercut machines that built truck tires. I was the youngest electrician in the department and had served in the Navy for six years on old Ocean Going Tugs that had the same tags on equipment.
I’m so glad you didn’t get that manual in time…Otherwise we wouldn’t have seen the magnificent job you did rebuilding that valve 🤩👍🏻😀
Installed a brand new v16 Detroit with twin turbos. Derated to 1900hp with big arse alternator. On first run the electician on site tripped the emergency stop to shut it down! Flapper slammed down on the inlet with a huge BANG! Everyone immediately pooped their pants! Boy that engine sounded good at full chooch, which was the only way it ran. Emergency genset for telecommunications. Block heaters etc. From the time the contactor dropped till full power was about 6 seconds. G'day from Tasmania
❤❤❤ you like an awesome job. Getting it running and saving it. I enjoyed your milling process, very neat to see people working with the old milling machines. Now, if you can get the power up and running, it will be a wonderful backup generator for ya
What an incredibly thorough knowledge of the whole process. Very entertaining. Thank you
I love that engine. It’s super neat. Glad you saved it.
I'm happy you're planning on fixing up this great machine. I originally thought you just wanted to get it running and then forget it but it would be really neat to see it cleaned up, painted and with a working generator. Good work Sam. I didn't know you were also a competent machinist as well.
Awesome sam painting that would be nice and I would take all the brass and polish them and clear coat to make it pop😊
Very good engine will run forever had 2 gen sets like on our ocean going tug. Happy like a kid that you got it going.
I really enjoy watching your machine skills on the manual lathe and your excitement bringing the old beast back to life.👍
Thanks for watching! Love the lab puppy!
I can see you teaching as Chief Petty officer to younger sailors 👍🏻🤩🇺🇸🤔😀
Back in my navy day's, in the ship yard, they used various shades of gray with shelack for a hardener and a glossy finish, hand painted.
This was the most satisfying video of your You Tube career yet! Yes that Detroit is old and crusty but she still does the Detroit boogie. Everything should run like a Detroit after 90 years. Keep Scrappin'
I love your enthusiasm getting that running. Iove to see old stuff renewed and made to run. Very talented turning that new valve. Im impressed.
Now you can hook it up as a backup for your workshop or home 👍👍👍👍👍
There is something special about hearing an enjoined fire for the first time. Thanks for sharing
Glad your not gonna scrap her. So good to see the workmanship in the old stuff.
Outstanding! I can completely understand now how you have a masters in mechanical engineering.
Nice work! Super cool to see and hear that old engine come to life!
Great job. I enjoyed this and the preceding video very much. Great content. I appreciate the knowledge and explanation of of it works. Your machinist skills are top knotch. I'm a manual machinist too. These kind of of projects are great. Good stuff! Thanks
This is one of the neatest things I've seen you do! Nice work! 👍 Glad to hear you're going to pain it! What a trip!! 😀
HEY! Good morning Sam and thumbs UP!!
Nice to see it run. Looking forward to more videos on the generator side.
Sam, great job, Sam you go out and buy stuff and make things happen, your old buddy Matt goes out and buys junk or it's plumb worn-out, Let's call it stuff, drags it somewhere on the farm leaving it for a couple of years, and may work on it, Thank you for saving that piece of history
Yeah 100% agree, I think Matt has an auction addiction, I actually get annoyed that he buys stuff and drags it to his house just so it can keep on deteriorating in his yard instead of where it was. As you mentioned Sam buys stuff with purpose and keeps up to date and on top of it all. I think one day Sam will be the popular choice in this field
Matt does have a lot of old iron laying around but in his defense he has sold some of the things he does bring home.
@@jamesadams1064yeah was going to say exactly this Matt sells a lot of what he buys at auction except for the things he wants to work on but let’s face it how often are you going to use a drag line excavator on a job most stuff he keeps has a use but can’t be sheltered still prefer Sams truck to Matts
@@PedigreeMongrel Matt has almost 900,000 subscribers and that makes a good UA-cam income. Throwing money at auctions is not a problem for him and his fame and channel puts what he drags home on the want list of some subscribers.
@ yep me included I’d love to have some of the machines he has at his disposal likewise with Sam that generator is a piece of history keeping it alive to do some work is amazing I know I’d be happy seeing it come alive after all those years sitting gathering water it’s a miracle that blower still works sat in all that water.
Mush respect 👍🏻 i have a 10EE also, one of the best manual lathes ever made and will be standing the test of time for many years to come. Love the channel.
Sam, Awesome job on giving that 2 cycle engine genset new life ! Love your passion for all things mechanical and how much you care for early well built equipment. Thank you for posting all this interesting equipment 👍👍
Good job Sam it's alive and Dan gets an Atta boy.🙂😀😃👍
I had to LOL when you started whooping and hollering and dancing when it started. Love your enthusiasm!
Jolly good job Sam…. Just love your… yes we can fix this attitude….well done🚜🚜🚜🚜
It LIVES! Congratulation Sam on the resurrection. Great to see the OG engineering and quality building, of times long gone.....love that you have brought back life to such a iconic piece of equipment....looking forward to more content on this AMAZING machine!
So cool Scrappy , to see it working is remarkable and so well. It's only design was for producing power. The Detroit colors would be appropriate. With lightning bolts 😅. The radiator will be Hugh. Hopefully you find the missing tachometer. Would like to see just how much she can produce. It started like it was just made. Fun to watch 😊.
Son u sure give me hope for the next generation ty love your enthusiasm
Hi Sam I Watch & love your stuff you do, but this genarator has definitely blown things out of the water, I knew you would get this old machine going, Anyway great to here it pure like a cat keep up the great stuff thanks for sharing this footage 🙏🏻✌🏻
