Brian, MiTM power washer’s from Peosta, Iowa. The owner started in business forty plus years ago doing sandblasting and painting. He started building power washers and now he has a global company and very high quality products. I have a small cold water pressure washer and I love it. My brother owns a construction company and has a 4000 pound steam cleaner pressure washer that is diesel heated and he loves it. He even has the company come and do yearly maintenance on it as we are only about fifteen miles from the factory and they’re service center. They are very well made and parts and service are excellent. I have several friends that work there. Do a web search, good products. Thank you so much for your videos. Really appreciate the information. You are an absolute expert!
Good to see you back, keep making videos as time allows. You have a wealth of experience and information that the Jeep community appreciates you sharing.

Yes, super hard to find anyone with skills these days. Was hoping to find a part time experienced worker or someone who wanted to work full time to learn the trade. Nothing yet.
Hello Brian, good to see a video from you. You sure have alot going on. Everything looks like it's coming along nicely. Looking forward to some pictures of the remodel.
Wishing you and your family a Happy Christmas and New Years! Glad you still around, wish I was not above the 49 as would be an honour to help in a shop of your stature. Was one of the generation told get a degree and the world shall be good… nope could have skipped the degree but now just a simple fuel pump tech 😂
I dont even live in your country, but always look forward to your videos, your very knowledgeable and your tips are helping fix my 2a and m38... Keep up the good work Brian.
It's great to hear from you Brian! Neat update, really easy to tell you've been really busy, you got more Willys engines in your hands than some people have in their lifetime, best of luck with all your projects, I hope you can find a solution to the heater for the pressure washer soon.
Yes there is a lot going on in the shop and around the farm right now. It has been a real challenge finding a fix for the pressure washer as the company that made it won't help.
Good to hear from you Ken. The weather has been great but I had to take advantage of it and get the firewood done. Sure would have been nice to be setting poles for the new building, but that didn't happen. Hopefully the weather holds out a bit more so I can get a little bit more done outside.
Thanks for watching. Yes I will be taking some time off in December but not to relax, but finish up some of the many things that NEED to get done around here.
The pressure washer. A propane fired flash water heater (the electric ones cost too much to run). I put one of these in the barn with quick connect hose for the Craftsman pressure washer. Pressure washers don't require a huge volume of water so it works quite well and, with a days worth of pipe fitting, I also have hot water for the bathroom and the clean-up sink. Flash heaters are not cheap but shop around for a good price, worked for me. Then just ditch the tank and heater on the unit.
Dang, that wood crib was empty when I was there 2 weeks ago.......Nice work, and thank you again for making the time for me and all you've done. You said 'it' needed a lot of love and damn, now that I'm 'involved'........NO JOKE! (but it passed the cowl inspection)....Labor s_cks, never had luck myself......Maybe I should look for a little camper to park next to your cows and lend you a hand.....
Busy, Busy, Busy around here. Hope your new buggy isn't too bad once you strip the interior out of it. Yes, the labor shortage is crazy around here, older guys are retiring and the younger generation is just looking for easy work and hi pay.
I don't know why it's such a mystery, it's really hard to get qualified people if nobody teaches them anything. When we tell all our kids that they have to go to school and get a 4 year degree so they can work in fast food, rather than teaching them a trade where they can actually make a living, it's not hard to understand how we got here.
qualified people are either doing there own thing or retiring. Trouble is the younger generation does not want to get involved in any type of trade work. Most are just chasing the dollar or sitting at home doing nothing.
True, even over here in South Africa, all schools had either woodwork or metalwork as a subject. Now days they dont teach that anymore. So, many trades are taught after school only resulting in either fast track training or poor quality training.
I seen this one run before I got it. It’s out of 70 CJ five has the T 14 transmission I can send it to you let you see what you think I trust your opinion
Miss My Favorite Jeep guru. Thanks for sharing.

Trying to make videos as time allows but as you can see I have my hands full in the shop and around the farm.

More to come!
Looking good Brian, hopefully the house work goes smoothly. Thank you for the updates. Stay well.
Your engine is moving along, parts list is growing but I am ordering the parts we need.

Great to see you back Brian ............Merry Christmas to you and your Family
Thank you for the update
Thanks for the update Brian. Your output is amazing.
Getting things done as fast as I can, when things slow down just a bit I will continue with videos.
Nice to see you Brian, Cheers!
good to hear from you. Hope all is well
Keep up the good work. Seems an old retired guy who just likes to potter about could be a good addition to your shop - hard to find though.
Yes, super hard to find anyone with skills these days. Was hoping to find a part time experienced worker or someone who wanted to work full time to learn the trade. Nothing yet.

I’ll be there in the spring to help out again, things are really changing there Brian

Good idea, never thought of that. I will look into it today, many thanks.
Happy Holidays Brian, Keep plugging away. Looking forward to the GTB engine build
I rebuilt the GTB engine years ago and it is about time to get it started. Just trying to find the time to get it in the test stand and get it going.

Hey there I have a question if you can answer it for I'd appreciate it. Rebuild l134a.

Look for an old time oil burner HVAC guy.
👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 hope you have a great Christmas!
Thank you Jim, good to hear from you. Hope you and yours have a great holiday season as well.
keep plugging away
I always do
Hey brian I would be very interested and an exchange On my v six 👍👍👍
Last couple of 225 V6 engines that came in were junk. Can't seem to get any good ones these days, but when I do I will rebuild it.
I seen this one run before I got it. It’s out of 70 CJ five has the T 14 transmission I can send it to you let you see what you think I trust your opinion
I put a 2001 4.3 v6 in my 56 cj5 adapted to a ford toploader mustang 4spd. Looking forward to driving it for the first time.
