    Looks like a 6v92T Silver Series(didn’t see any green), this General should be 1981-newer. It’s definitely wounded, but impressive that it lit right up.

    Looked like those handlebars on the big cutter was a bit to short and awkward. And that gear lever should be placed higher so you don’t have to bend over so many times. Looked uncomfortable

    • @SpawnofChaos
      @SpawnofChaos Рік тому

      Was thinking the same thing about the gear shift lever. My grandparents owned a 90s-model DR brush cutter; the gear selector is right there on the main panel between the handlebars, and the bars are pretty high up. Theirs even has a lockable differential 😁

    Bruce , you should get a piece of aluminum and weld a handle on it , start taking the intake off before starting these old Detroits just in case they decide to run away. At least then, you could shove that aluminum over the intake and starve it for air ! They're cool to see shoot to the moon but boy that could turn into a "will it stop" video real fast ! Air shut off plate and fire extinguisher. Oh , get that old Ford back in business for the will it starts , that thing is pretty cool !

      He would probably get more subscribers if there wasn't so much editing being done. Viewers want to see the whole thing from the moment he opened the hood. Like i have seen many vids and 90% of the trucks either had rotten cables seized starters fuel fungus or clogged air breathers. I don't believe that truck started with less then 5 revaluations after sitting 25 + years and we will never actually know because of the editing.

      @@lawrenceflynn8245 Doesn't matter anyway, not watching him anymore because I don't agree with scammers and the fact he could have sold off every single thing he scrapped and when he decided to scrap Blue Collar, which I watched him pull out of a field, completely rebuild and use to turn around and trash scrap it for money was enough for me. I don't believe in what Bruce is doing now is right because he's looking like one of the scammers himself and I don't believe in that shit especially when I thought he had put all that shit behind him.
