That was really cool seeing the cloud museum. So many antique items all knowledge that has been lost to time. We sure have gone a different direction in this country away from the industrial area and entered into the throwaway everything and save nothing generation. Im glad to see someone took the time to collect so much of the history of the early eras of the automobile. Neet to explore with you guys thanks for the video and I hope you can find and fix your oil leak issues before the next road trip. Keep up your adventures and continue to bring your audience to these roadside attractions capturing these places before they all go into extinction. Much respect for these people keeping places like that alive and allowing the public to experience the wonders of the past and saving our historical past for future generations to enjoy.
Thank you Merlin and Mackay for letting us in UA-cam Land, live vicariously! The Cloud Museum and the trip in the Rat Rod were AWESOME! So much fun! ROFL about the "What Kind of Horse Manudo is This??"...I agree.
Great to see 2 gearheads having a fun trip. I'm 73 years old and have been a mechanic all my life. Raced on the dragstrip, also on dirt track IMCA modified, and flat track motorcycle on dirt. Been on many road trips that went just like Merlins trip. Lost most of my old car guys that I ran with. Now just remembering the great times I had! Getting too old and busted up to wrench on anything now days. Thank you Merlin for all your videos. Everyone of your videos bring back lots of memories. Thank you so much from one gearhead to another.
On Vice Grip Garage Derek said those LT distributers don't have alignment pins. You need to loosely assemble everything including the damper, then tighten everything up.
Your video was timely. I'm headed to Yuma for a long stay. Now I'm all excited to visit this museum! I love these gems, and that place is incredible! Thanks for sharing.😊
Quite the show, this time. At least you guys did your part to add to the paving project by keepin the oil fresh. Be well. kool visit. Thanks for sharing.
You and Makay made a great video. I lived in Yuma for a year back in 1973, I remember the Bard area, got acquainted with a Jake and Mike Colvin that farmed there. Your weather down that way is priceless, this is the GOOD times in the southwest, your area of the country really appeals to me, the old desert is a gem. That Cloud fella has been busy, my thoughts run to kind of sorrow, what an impressive collection but he will eventually give it all up just like we all do. Once I saw the border collie I knew what you meant about the dog comment early in the video, those dogs cannot be duped, they are fast and energetic and won't back away from their task, I love that breed of dog.
Imagine that…A Sacramento Bee from 1963 out in the middle of the desert. When I was a kid in the seventies I delivered the Bee, on my bike no less. Anyone remember that, the neighborhood paper boy on a bike making home deliveries. You’re so right Merlin…we have gotten stupider.
All my brothers had 'paper routes' around the neighborhood. We also had 'collection days' where we went around knocking on customers doors collecting their paper dues, and hopefully Tips for good service.
@@ThomasSmith-hh8fp I delivered in Carmichael. On Sundays mornings I along with some of the other paperboys would meet up at the local donut shop and sell our extra papers for Sunday treats and share the local gossip. I miss those times.
A good and blessed Sunday morning to everyone ✝️ Thanks again Merlin for the wrenching 🔧🛠️🪛🔨🏁 And everyone please seek Jesus Christ in your life for he is the only true answer through it all ✝️🙏
Duuuuuude, that was the BEST VIDEO I've seen in a long time. If you can't enjoy that. You don't have a pulse. Great video. I'll be watching it over and over. I don't think I've ever hit the rewind button as much as I did in that video. Kick ass.👍
Definitely a must-see location. Need several days to take that all in. Reminds me so much of Grandpa’s old farm! Lots of one-off items I’m sure. Thanks for taking us along
Wow. From you road oiler, to oiled roads, to vehicles that rode no roads. Awesome. I'll keep Mr. Cloud's Museum in my plans for travels. Thank you 2, and Mr.Cloud for the video.
Wow, that was awesome! Mr. Cloud sure has the stuff. I could spend all day in there looking. Thanks for taking us along! I'm on the other side of the country so I'll probably never get to go there.
I always enjoy your videos, but this one has to be one of the best!!!! I just hope he has a way to preserve these treasures!!!! Because none of us live forever!!!! And I would hate for some unknowing liquidator come here and scrap it all…😢😢
What a marvellous Museum, extraordinary Vehicle's, and Machinery, great time looking through with you, awesome, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
That cloud museum is an automotive treasure trove! I sincerely hope he has his estate in order so that the collection can maintain beyond his care! Love the travel, such amazing stuff in the south west
Great video! The museum is great! Thought one of the best things at the golf course was looking through the old golf carts as I have clearly been watch you to much.😁. Keep them coming..
Shoots 19.866 miles. Now that right there sure is a powerful pea shooter. Ol George built a SS 1.5" muzzle loading cannon when we were working on the Palo Verde project in the late 70s. Using 3/8" & 1/2" hole punch outs, on black powder it destroyed a solid core exterior door and the supporting pile of palets from about 30 yds.
All those old types of cars are some of the kinds my dad worked on. He was a mechanic in Detroit in the 20s. as you were going through some of those old houses and things I saw things that I knew about. Like the milk separator and the butter churns the meat grinders. I am 80 and live in La Junta Colorado a former farm kid!
Them Lt optispark distributiors like to leak oil out of the press fit where the shaft goes thew the cover internally then drip and some cases it will pour out comes out the bottom front the aftermarket ones are worst from the local stores the gm ones are ok the accel and msd ones dont seem to have this problem
What a magnificent museum Mr Cloud has built! Thought you were going to do a " Make it Run" clip while you were there for a sec.😄 What a great road trip fairly close to your home! Place needed more exposure to the world.
Golden Knight Train in Yuma during the winter at ypg. They have one of the world wrecker harp canons. They test 155 howitzer canons and top secret stuff.
That Ol' T is ready to take on a New England winter, It rust proofed, And by the time you get here it should have a second coat, Speaking of coats, bring a warm one.
According to my uncle there's a plane with claw marks around the door from his first jump he said they would be deep enough to see but after the first one the second one was OK like I would ever do a second one but he did three in one day I belive to graduate jump school
Love the Cloud museum, would love to go look, T buzz rig reminded me of one we had, similar but 4cyl willys power. Lot of stuff there I grew up using and repairing for others
...oil leak,,timing cover lose then install distributor, seal centers on dist. then tighten cover...love the Cloud M ...we need to bring the old school back again think it design it build it.🤩
Anyone can see it never rains in Southern California or Mr Cloud would only have piles of rust in his display! If one looks over today's engineering marvels one hundred years from now, I wonder what they may say. Thanks to MOSG we get to meet the neatest people in awesome places from the southwest.
That was an awesome video! Loved looking at all the old Fords I have a son moving to Yuma with his employment. Will have to go visit and check out the area in person. Thanks again and keep up the great videos.
Another Wonderful Day in Havasu is such a Nice way to start a Video, and although not sure I would want a Ride in a Old Cobra on a Roadside Build I imagine Merlin would find a way to get her airborne again
Sure do wish I'd known about the Cloud Museum when I was living in Buckeye back in the day. Thanks so much for sharing this nugget.... Really appreciate your videos adventures. 🤎🇺🇲 👍 👋😎
Very nice video Merlin. Wonderful vehicles in the museum and so many other things about life in the old days. Teachers should go here with their pupils, it shows more than many school books put together. Greetings from Frankfurt, good luck, nice weather and stay healthy. Gerold
Could you have a bent shaft from accident impact. If is , shaft would rotate in an orb rotation instead of straight true rotation. Back in '76 at the Chris craft dealership shop I worked at in Colorado, we had a long block delivered from factory (Chris used GM blocks and shafts). In shipping. The wooden crate was dropped hard enough to crack and break the two restraining planks. Long story short, crank end bent 3° with major oil leak. Just a suggestion. Another adventure in the desert. Thanks again gw
When you came across Kansas last year on your Model A adventure I wish you had came north to a little town in south central Nebraska called Minden and visited Pioneer Village. It was featured on American Pickers.
Opti-spark distributors have been nothing but trouble even when new. I've heard that a few people have gone to a crank triggered individual coil ignition conversion because of all the trouble that they have had with them.
Somewhere on route 66 was a gas station in a town named Hilltop that had a fenced in yard full of old cars that had been towed in from the desert and left. I stopped at the gas station in 1968 on my way from New Jersey to California. Have you ever heard about it? Do you know where it is?
That was been an amazing trip to be along with you guys I love old vehicles I love military stuff and just being out in the desert would be awesome thank you for sharing
Vehicle's would drive on the road as soon as the rollers went over it once, but limited to 20 kmh, 12mph you could tell the next day how many went faster it would lift the stone's 😂 thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Merlin, you are one of the few people left in the world who would know what some of the machines are and can do in that amazing Cloud museum.
Actually there are quite a few of us still alive
Thank GOD For Mr Cloud & People Like Him & You & People Like You That Show Us All That Awesome Stuff

What a walk around! Mr. Cloud was an amazing man.I absolutely loved the old machines. We need to hold on to the past. Thanks for sharing 👏 👍 😊
What a magnificent collection
Thank you Merlin and Mackay for letting us in UA-cam Land, live vicariously! The Cloud Museum and the trip in the Rat Rod were AWESOME! So much fun! ROFL about the "What Kind of Horse Manudo is This??"...I agree.
That Cloud Museum was amazing! I’m gonna have to see that. Thank you boys for the tour.

There's got to be several million dollars parked in that museum. Absolutely Fantastic Collection

I delivered in Orangevale, when I was a kid. LOL !! I completely forgot about that!.. Great old days.Im 61, and back in my hometown..

Thanks for the ride along Merlin. Totally awesome video.

Absolutely love it! Thanks to Mr. Cloud for the collection, I hope someone makes sure it's preserved for all to enjoy for many years!
Always something unexpected unique happens here,makes Sunday mornings great to see what happens
That place and all the stuff, cars, I tell ya what, just AMAZING, thanks Merlin, you are the best.
That should be registered as a National Historic treasure!
Definitely a must-see location. Need several days to take that all in. Reminds me so much of Grandpa’s old farm!
Lots of one-off items I’m sure. Thanks for taking us along
Wow. From you road oiler, to oiled roads, to vehicles that rode no roads. Awesome. I'll keep Mr. Cloud's Museum in my plans for travels. Thank you 2, and Mr.Cloud for the video.
I could walk around that museum for days. We lost so much of that old history here in Canada because it just rusted away with our climate.
Wow, that was awesome! Mr. Cloud sure has the stuff. I could spend all day in there looking. Thanks for taking us along! I'm on the other side of the country so I'll probably never get to go there.
Love that a little thing like no oil don't stop you from continuing your adventure thanks for taking us along
Hey Merlin McKay ya know I’m in upstate New York and I don’t call it chip seal I call it TAR AND FEATHER 😂👍❤️✌️💪🏻☮️
I always enjoy your videos, but this one has to be one of the best!!!!
I just hope he has a way to preserve these treasures!!!!
Because none of us live forever!!!!

Very cool! Thanks for the tour. Always look forward to your Sunday posts.
That guy had enough equipment to move Mexico and attach it to Alaska
Wow so Kool thanks for showing us this! Awesome 👍
Great video! The museum is great! Thought one of the best things at the golf course was looking through the old golf carts as I have clearly been watch you to much.😁. Keep them coming..
Mr Cloud has a great collection of time past... nice guy and a great museum. Thanks Merlin and Mickay. Always loved your videos Merlin.
What a nostalgic walk down memory lane. Remember so much of that gear when I was a kid on our farm. Thanks for the memories Merlin. Bushyboy Oz.
cool museum...thanks for sharing...

That was one cool museum. I've driven through that area hundreds of times never knew that was there.
Great Idea for a day trip when I'm in Havasu this winter. Thanks.
I've seen other videos of the cloud museum. It doesn't get old. Always see something I didn't see before
Outstanding and awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along .
What a magnificent museum Mr Cloud has built! Thought you were going to do a " Make it Run" clip while you were there for a sec.😄 What a great road trip fairly close to your home! Place needed more exposure to the world.
Awesome, Amazing, Astonishing, and a whole lot more! Thanks for showing us.🤓😎
Dang it, didn't know you were in my neighborhood.
That tour is a must see if you are within 100 miles and have a number of hours to wander through.
Way cool Merlin! Much obliged. 👍🏼😉
WOW, Mr Cloud has one HELL of a collection. A must see NO doubt if you are in the area on vacation.
Good music, & I suppose an interesting adventure, lol! Heck of an assortment of history... Thanx !
Thanks Merlin n Mcabe for sharing this Great video!!✌️🇺🇲
Thanks Merlin for bringing us along to your adventure's 😇💗💗💗 love and bless you guys. good work 👍😁

Brad could be the transportation secretary so that we all get our model A ,,,that’s right, lol lettttts go thanks BigAl California
Unbelievable collection! Wow 🤩
Thanks for sharing
Merlin what a great video of the Cloud Museum and the road trip, sorry about the engine issues you had! Lot's of fun with McKay riding shotgun.
Merlin, I’m 73 and I sure wish I could come visit you and take a ride in your 57 Chevy I live in Williamsburg, Indiana
That Ol' T is ready to take on a New England winter,
It rust proofed,
And by the time you get here it should have a second coat,
Speaking of coats, bring a warm one.
So that 80 year old dam …wow! Don’t you need an army tank for your collection? Thanks for another great video.
Incredible collection of memorabilia amazingly awesome.
Thank you Merlin I love some of the old stuff
Wow! I could walk around that place for days!; thanks for sharing it with us!🇺🇲
The laguna dam was the first dam on the Colorado River completed in 1905. It was, and still is, used primarily for irrigation.
Good morning Merlin thanks for taking us along cool things to see I get it take a trip and don't have to leave my recliner the cloud museum is awesome
Simply Seeing all those Model As made my knuckles sore!!!
old School ROAD TRIP with Merlin, and my best friend MaCay Bear
The best, get better. 🍻🍁🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻
Thanks Merlin pretty awesome
Why, would you jump from a perfiftly good airplane? "They pushed me!"
According to my uncle there's a plane with claw marks around the door from his first jump he said they would be deep enough to see but after the first one the second one was OK like I would ever do a second one but he did three in one day I belive to graduate jump school
It's a 4 hour drive from my place in Huachuca City and it looks like it's worth the trip! Thanks for sharing Merlin!
Brings back so many memories. Thank-you Merlin and McKay. I too no coffee smells great taste like burnt oil. Me fountain Pepsi first thing I do.
Love the Cloud museum, would love to go look, T buzz rig reminded me of one we had, similar but 4cyl willys power. Lot of stuff there I grew up using and repairing for others
Outstanding Content and Video

Really appreciate your videos adventures.
🤎🇺🇲 👍 👋😎
Awesome Cloud Museum. I'm at Quartzsite BLM Roadrunner campground now. I've been here since last Tuesday.
As a gag...
You should make some of those signs and put them up around an event like...
The off road games,
to make sure people don't go off trail.
Awesome collection and museum
Very nice video Merlin. Wonderful vehicles in the museum and so many other things about life in the old days. Teachers should go here with their pupils, it shows more than many school books put together. Greetings from Frankfurt, good luck, nice weather and stay healthy. Gerold
Wow I camp off Olgilby which is about 5 minutes away and never knew it existed. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the great adventure
In 1973, I hung out at Fort Sill, OK for about a week. They shot all kinds of stuff there.
By far one of the best videos I’ve seen I love it. I’m gonna go out there and check that place out. Thank you.
Johnny is my friend he is a modern day Henry Ford. Fordson tractors were the most converted tractor. 99%.of his vehicles run. Baird, California.

So I was born in 54 and you amaze me with your old school knowledge. What year were you born?
When you came across Kansas last year on your Model A adventure I wish you had came north to a little town in south central Nebraska called Minden and visited Pioneer Village. It was featured on American Pickers.
Self lubing chassis - that should slow any corrosion!
