Good job on that day cab buried under the Amazon jungle. I recall driving by Gillespie's in the late 50s through the 70's .. all early era trucks back then .. a time capsule of memories. Start that piston-popper in the weeds next time. Keep 'em coming!
I literally said “Are you freaking kidding me!” but I didn’t use “freaking” when she fired up. Massively overgrown sitting for over two decades and fires up like she was parked last night. I love diesels.
So happy this channel is back up and running!! Really hope it's getting u a profit, to pay ur cameraman and still get some doll hairs in the bank so it keeps going for years to come
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.
& finding & reviving those old iron pieces of art is a lost art in itself & u beign a part of it , is as well 2,, & bless u 4 all the work that u doo 2 abel 2 share it!!
As you started uncovering it I could tell it was a general and then when you pulled those vines back and I saw the General logo on the side of the hood I got excited. That’s what my Goliath is is a GMC General
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
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 😁
I don't own a diesel and Probably never will but I'm always super impressed on how these old diesels fire up and a gasoline engine would never start up if it sat just as long
@George Jones how about one left in the weeds like that Truck. In my experience gas goes bad, carbs don't like to sit and gas engines poston rings freeze to walls. Seems like these diesel engines come back to life so much easier
I like these will it start videos. My favorite was when you got those old locomotive switch engines to fire up. I have two old Buicks I play with, and I ask "Will it start?" every time I turn the key! So far they always do. And yes, I do have a "Will It Start" key chain. It just seems appropriate.
I'm born an raised in FL too, southwest fl an I know how's Bruce is feeling being in that brush makes it ten times more humid lol. I got itchy just watching it lol i've been in his shoes before, everytime you move some weeds the bugs jump off an the mosquitos are all over that brush, so everytime you move something they swarm you. lol on a good note I was shocked it started that easy. That ole girl wants to run again.
I have alot of miles on a 6v92 detroit..I used to haul milk to creameries with a 6800 gallon tanker. That was in the late 70s. Made it haul and you had to get it wound up pretty good to get max power.
There’s a similar GMC general sitting in a field covered in kudzu I drive by twice a day near Raleigh NC you should come up here and see if it starts! Lol
Greetings from the O-H-I-O Porters.🇺🇸 Where is this General that you’re talking about located? Raleigh, NC? We might be interested in doing a Will It Start on it. Please advise. Thanks. 🥰😎✌️
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 !
That's true what you've written but I've heard a few times if using the emergency stop or putting something over the inlet to stop it the blower has to be resealed as the pressure affects the seals .
@@andrewking4885 I haven't heard that . I experienced a runaway CAT one time and we got a piece of wood shoved over the turbo inlet and got it shut down, not so sure with a Detroit but id rather do seals than dodge wrist pins and create a boat anchor!
Good old Detroit's they may be heavy not make that much power for how much they way be fuel efficient or quiet as some other diesels but they where built to last and be rebuilt.
Hey bruce, thanks for the awesome content as always! Need to modify or lose the Swisher as it's too hard on your back and remind me of a mower that I use with handles too low and are not adjustable and working on that bent over it's definitely not good for you and will surely make you hurt after a while! That was an amazing surprise very fast start up but then again it's a Detroit 2-stroke! ✌️🇺🇸
Hi from uk Bruce👋👍 it probably took longer to get to this old girl but pleased she fired mate👌 that second squeel probs water pump shot I think after you snipped belts I think engine was still sweet tho 👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
It was worth the effort if you ask me. To see an engine sitting under tons of brush and weeds be able to start like that is a testament to how engines were built back in the day by actual human hands!
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.
i'am live here in the phillipines and i always watchin your upleades video and i amaze of some trucks cars ,bulldozer ,payloader that watch that kawasaki loader that you fix to start it and that international truck that you fix and restored it...nice content ..and i learn a lot of some of your video...keep safe and god bless..some pilipino says in our language..mabuhay...po..
Pushing the clutch put in gear install it out I wonder how many people told you that I'm not the smartest but I'm sure there's a know-it-alls on here God bless all you good old boys
Why does this channel not have a million subscribers already, you should blow up and have massive money to work on more stuff, absolutely love you work, love from India
I just want to let you know that is just absolutely awesome and this proves my fact old age Diesel and old gasoline from back in the day will most likely run not perfect but it'll run but this new stuff nope after a couple months
great vid Bruce, them Detroits would start under water🤣.. l like the fact you jumped straight in and never give a thought of what if it runs away or can l shut it down, doesn't get any more really..👍
Hi Bruce from Russia, your videos are very interesting to watch. We have all the old cars being recycled into scrap metal! I live in the Omsk region, I think you haven't even heard of this)))))
I can't believe that it started right up like that. Is it any possibility that it's for sale. That's a GMC General and that would be a good project truck.
....another will it start vidio,so old and lame....!!
🤣🤣literally what this channel started off as and is mostly based off go somewhere else troll
@@TylerDuysen doesn't take much to amuse u huh...!??
Almost as lame as you
If you cant even spell correctly, please leave your comments to yourself. Loser.
Then why the fuck are you here...it's literally in the title, yet, here you are. You're kinda..."special", ain't ya?

it was a cut, im pretty sure they did stuff to it
Uh, you mean fucking? Lol wtf
So great that brief conversation with the elder gent.... just real people.
And the old truck started !!!
cool
I really like that mower you have it just cuts right through

It’s those Detroit’s. You should pick that one up and restore it, it’s a neat old truck amigo
They”Will it Start” are my favorite videos. Actually what got me watching your videos
Man! Y’all really put some effort into getting these things to start! Really appreciate it
That was awesome. Can't believe it fired up like that. Sounds cool. Love watching your video's. Keep up the great job 👍
This one, all the pain was getting to where you could get to it.👍

I got a bad back there’s no way it would be able to handle that shift up and down like that
I was thinking that same thing.

Those generals had a cable operated clutch so the cable was probably seized. Surprising how easy those Detroits start after sitting so long.
Yeah there’s a reason they still use them for the fire pumps on ships
Hey Noshsreqd , Please make some more videos of your 1968 GMC 2500 and the 1963 GMC 5500 . American Iron all the way! Thanks
The only thing that works from detroit
@@xinx-fn8973until Mercedes came along and plasticized everything.
Amazing! Good old Detroit! starts better than a new one.
wow bruce thats a runner of a truck ive never seen anything start like that , after 25 years great will it start video
Love Detroits, from the 2 strokes, to the 60 Series 470/500 that was in my Freightshaker.
Your channel deserves much more attention! Keep it up brother 💪
I cant believe it just started right up. Amazing the difference between gas and diesels.
and that's why he only does diesel start ups just need compression and ether any retard can start it as you can see lol
That motor sounds better than my 2022 kenworth t680
I'm born an raised in FL too, southwest fl an I know how's Bruce is feeling being in that brush makes it ten times more humid lol.

A real screaming jimmy !!! Love it would be a cool restore project not many gmc generals or Chevy bisons left in this world
I am impressed how durable the Diesel engines are, after setting all those years? maybe the oil content in the fuel.
Proof the old detroits never die

Great video Bruce , I was totally blown away when it fired right up , love the will it start videos, keep them going
It only needs a maximum cleaning and it is ready to roll! 💪The work paid off guys.
Amazing fast start, those jump packs do a pretty good job.
Detroit bro, they always start. nice work that was the most buried one ive ever seen
That’s amazing how the ones you think are gonna be hard and just fire right up
BEST will it starts on the internet! Bruce brings the gold again! 🤩
lol first time on you tube hu
U, are 1 lucky dude 😎 how U get these trucks started... This is a lot of fun 😊. Thanks 👍🙏👍

Thanks foe for the awesome video! I didn't expect it to start up at all
Detroits are a forever thing❤️
I get so hyped seeing Bruce post a will it start video
not sure if im correct but im pretty sure this is a 1967 White Diesel 9000
Awesome Bruce the truck was buried in the bushes unbelievable it fired up after all the years of sitting
Another awesome great start video can't believe it fired up after sitting there for so many years 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Good one Bruce. Love those old generals. 👍👍👍
Gear Jakes and Brakes stall it .Used to have to stall Allisons with exhaust brakes when the trucks got hot not easy.
I thought it was going to turn into a will it stop video.😂
Doing a great job Bruce hope the kids wife and family are doing well !!😎👍🏻🇺🇸🦅
Cameraman is getting better every vid, still needs a lot of work but getting there! Good job buddy
Good video as always. The people that don’t like them still watch it. Don’t let them get in your head. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good old Detroit's they may be heavy not make that much power for how much they way be fuel efficient or quiet as some other diesels but they where built to last and be rebuilt.
You the man Bruce, keep it up

@George Jones I'm slow - old etc all of the above. 😁😁😁
Now... that is a decent engine to start up after sitting idle for 25 years. Solidly built to last.
Hi from uk Bruce👋👍 it probably took longer to get to this old girl but pleased she fired mate👌 that second squeel probs water pump shot I think after you snipped belts I think engine was still sweet tho 👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
I live in NEW ZEALAND and truely love all the videos thanks !
14:17 answer my memory is like my money I like that🤣
I was waiting for it to run away amazing the rack wasn’t stuck if that thing has been sitting 20-25 years

That truck deserves a thorough restoration.
Good job using post hole diggers. For bush removal. You learn something new everyday
Great video, Bruce! You make that look easy. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!!
This one with all the weeds on it needs to be on a will it start shirt maybe put the Detroit Diesel logo on it as well.
Was still good seeing you uncover it can't stop a old Detroit =)
and i like the ones with old train locomotives as well
Nice to have you back.
Pushing the clutch put in gear install it out I wonder how many people told you that I'm not the smartest but I'm sure there's a know-it-alls on here God bless all you good old boys
Thumbs up for the old timer!!!
That thing looks possessed!😆👍👍
Why does this channel not have a million subscribers already, you should blow up and have massive money to work on more stuff, absolutely love you work, love from India
Good afternoon Bruce, just nice to hear them going. Steve from N.B Canada
For some of these clearance jobs you might like to invest in a battery operated hand sized garden chain saw. Cut that crap in no time 🇦🇺
I can not believe how you are able to start so many so fast pretty cool 😁
Next truck at the same location. Can't wait for the next video. What truck was that with the 2 stroke?
Diesels are immortal
Bruce appreciate the videos buddy your good getting these old trucks running again thanks for sharing Bruce 👍
I love the sound of a Detroit Diesel in the morning.
Man! That thing started RIGHT NOW!
I just want to let you know that is just absolutely awesome and this proves my fact old age Diesel and old gasoline from back in the day will most likely run not perfect but it'll run but this new stuff nope after a couple months
After seeing it in all those weeds I never would’ve thought it would have cranked so easy
Hello sir, it is really beautiful. Thank you for your videos
great vid Bruce, them Detroits would start under water🤣.. l like the fact you jumped straight in and never give a thought of what if it runs away or can l shut it down, doesn't get any more really..👍
Damm hard work bruce & good 4u!!!
You sure keep it interesting on here you always into something I love to watch your program be safe and love to see more take care and God bless
Hi Bruce from Russia, your videos are very interesting to watch. We have all the old cars being recycled into scrap metal! I live in the Omsk region, I think you haven't even heard of this)))))
Love it my memory is like my money long ass gone!! Old men never lie
I like when you said " We didn't check the oil....". Trust me. It's an 80's Detroit. It's LOW...........!
i thought this was a gardening channel for a minute lol great video.
I can't believe that it started right up like that. Is it any possibility that it's for sale. That's a GMC General and that would be a good project truck.
Ikr i own one my self actually it's a 1977 gmc general with the cummins 350 that im slowly restoring its been quite the restoration
That toyota corolla in the jungle back there will definitely start and run another 200,000 miles
W💥Wzerz! When that truck kicked up first try, I called out to my Giddy Aunt!
Fired right up after over 25 years of sitting. Insane!!
It always amazes me how these old trucks fire up like they were parked yesterday
Haha I actually dig these vids and that they start so easy being they been sitting 20+ years
You need a Milwaukee m18 weed eater and hedge trimmer to bake brush clearing easier, the blower would also help cool you off and clear off trailers
Nerd here, would be cool to see that old tube TV you threw restored too 😅
Fico espantado com funcionamento desses motores após tantos anos parado .....vídeo top 🇧🇷✌️
Esse pegou absurdamente rápido, incrível esses Detroit antifoa!
Another sound vid Bruce you should get way more attention than you get bruv.keep up the great work much anticipated. from the UK
