That mushroomed driver is for driving metal line "U" fence posts.
Right, those green ones used for 2X4 wire fence
T post
Yep - was gonna say the same thing.
Exactly! We have something similar we use as a paperweight back at where I work even down here in strailia.
@@thewoodymakeit Doesn't look like a T post. That might look more like a T.
You're never getting that Jeep back from Eva.
My thoughts exactly 😁
Yep, we all know that this will not be a running around and fetching parts car.... It'll be wife's cruisin' car.
@@AndyMarsh She can get the parts, best of both :P
this.
Got that right!!!
the odd metal thing is probably a driver head for U type fence posts. By the way Matt, you are very fortunate to have such a lovely assistant willing to dive in and help!!! Congratulations!!!
We need a jeep and leaf blower update. I understand that you are probably busy with the new shop build, but I can't wait to see how that is coming along. I like to see your wife help. Your videos are very informative and entertaining. I have never worked on a diesel engine, but from watching you, I think I would have a pretty good chance at getting 1 to run.
"I've got too many projects"
*Brings home another project.
Never change man!
hey wes he at least goes out and gets his projects lol yours arrive in the driveway ;] i think your system is more efficient
@@mobiousenigma ok
Yeah, a shop you can walk-through is only wasted space😉
Just watched your show Wes!
@Juha Tuomala yes he is. Wes eaven visited matt not very long time ago.
Matt: "I have too many projects...." Also Matt: "Meet my new project Jeep!"
Yes, but I'm not complaining. :)
Lol
You means Eva’s cute jeep project. Happy wife happy life
Matt & Eva, you both did a bang up job on getting the old Jeep running!
I cannot wait to see the Jeep steam cleaned, and all of the services completed!
Well done, Matt and Wife!
It is nice to see your wife taking an interest in your projects.
I think the phrase “ yes, that’s my wife’s blue Jeep “ is something you will be saying VERY often!! Start practicing now! LOL!!
I think you’re right😜
I agree, Me 3...
@@paulsilva3346 Deffo the wifes!
You better let the wife have it. That will get many project credits in your happy wife account. All you will have to do when you drag home Christine's older cousin in the future is look over and say...
" Boy that sure is a pretty blue jeep". You have to know there is something in it for them.
That works.
Sometimes.
LOL!
Terry from South Carolina
You could see it on her face. The wife’s new.
Well I think this might be an “Eva Mobile”!!!! You be lucky if you get to drive it😃😃
Matt's definitely gonna have to grab parts in a different buggy.
Impressed with Eva. Not too many wives get under the old beast and turn a wrench.
In 6 months time there will be a video on Matt servicing Eva's CJ5
Never seen her excited until now. Very nice. And glad it runs. Sounded ok last start I might have heard a tap. But another nice find
There's the name for it- "Little Eva"!!!
Understand what it means to have "so many irons in the fire", but this is a cool vehicle. look forward to you getting back to it. Great channel, thanks for you hard work
I
2nd that EMOTION
That first item sits on top of a corrugated fence/sign post and you can hammer it without damaging the top of the post. Likely for fence posts as you mention the rest of the stuff in use is for fences in that jeep!
Yep, for driving T-posts
I have driven in many a fence post with such a contraption as ya found! ;-)
About 10 years ago I was in that same barn walking around that exact jeep.
Why didn't you grab it
@@abzdeman92 to be fair as a normal person looking at that Jeep I don’t think many people would want to take on that mess.
@@patrickwright6291 I would've if I saw it, it looks so cool & I'm a chef in a restaurant
Its a small world.
Gotta give props to Miss Eva. She was enthusiastic (even heard a "Whee!"), and got right in there, laying on her back in the gravel and wrenching! Way to go!
Yep, she's definitely a Keeper ! My late wife would'nt have done nothing of that sort ! Not even help me bleed the brakes on HER car ! 🙄
Although she needs SAFETY GLASSES...
@@paulsilva3346 Yes Miss Eva, Please don't get a permanently scratched cornea, like I have. Safety glasses are a must!
I’m going on
\

Looked familiar to my situation. Help is nice. But help is often slower than doing it yourself (watching Miss Eva ratchet that bolt super slow). But when you take over then it's all "well, if you don't need my help".....
Love the Jeep. Your truck has plenty of cool patina too. A sympathetic resto is the way to go. Great to see your wife helping out too.
I find it amazing how you always manage to bring old engines back to life like that. Even got a gas one that was rusted somewhat to run. Youre a master tech. Keep up the awesome videos.
There is a head bolt under the carb. It is inside the intake manifold. Dad broke the block not knowing about the bolt. The engine is an F head. Intake valves in the head with the exhaust valves in the block.
Good luck.
Drag the jeep around in gear, the Army way!
I didn't know that weren't they called a Hurricane?
Use a match book to set the points.
@@rward1904 That stopped being the Army way once they ditched manual transmissions over 30 years ago. Now the only things with a manual are ceremonial Jeeps.
@@ericcorse It has what looks like a 'Hurricane 4' logo sticker on front of the valve cover....
I love to see Eva jump in and help. It makes me smile every time.
Seems like a nice, meant to be-couple=), not every girl dirty their hands, AND let the husband buy all the "junk";o) Bravo, Eva!
You have a winner... And I'm not talking about the Jeep!
Also at 40.00 minutes that flutterbye is definitely a good omen!
At 37.00 minutes that was one happy mechanic! Methinks that Eva will have her own farm transportation before long.?
If this video was 12 hours long I’d watch every minute of it.
He is very watchable...
Can I get the 8n. Love to work them on our farm when I was.a teenager, Bett than those 2 mules we had
Must be a biden voter with no job
That 8-N here in Chile in the condition you found it would sell for $7,000. Tractors here are crazy expensive.
Nice Jeep find. Jim in Chile
that jeep running with good tires brakes clutch is at least 10k
Even on west coast of US that tractor was $1500, more if you parted it.
Your excitement at getting those old engines going is contagious, still chuckling...
I have been watching so many of your videos...love your excitement, loved seeing Evas participation! Question...when are you going to do more with this jeep? Want to see more of it.
7:40 - what a cool jeep! - Yes, make it functional, leave patina, maybe linseed-oil it, give it to Eva... it fit's her perfectly. God bless. love ya
YES
It could probably use a roof too
I love how Matt talks to the camera like we're standing there. Its like Dora the explorer for car guys. Plus, I don't know how anyone feels but that excitement is contagious. When you're watching a UA-cam vid and are just as excited as the dude making the video.. that's good entertainment!
I agree its fun to hear his thought process and I do feel I am along for the ride when the motor turned for the 1st time I felt Like I was there holding the camera... seeing the fan move was a fun moment. She faught him for a bit she is starting to show some interest in getting a 2nd life
deffo love his presentation style
When he got it to turn over I yelled "YEAH!" My wife was like who were you talking to? lol
That's why I also watch RRC Restoration and Musti1 😎
My late next door neighbor's son has one just like it that my neighbor bought him for his first car a half century ago. He just got done overhauling it. As his sister inherited the house when mom and dad died, and now lives next door, he's up here with that old jeep all the time. He absolutely loves that thing. One taillight, no turn signals (never did have), rattles and clanks and bangs, but he is having a blast with it. I think I'd have to turn a leaf blower on that thing first, and get all the mouse mess out of it.
Matt found his pride and joy ,way to go , I'M 75 AND i'M HOOKED
Please tell your wife, there is almost nothing as beautiful as taking something old, broken, used, unloved and forgotten and then to take that and fix it and give it life again. Thats why we all come here, and im glad she can be part of that with you.
Are you talking humans or machinery?
@@Ekatjam why not both?
Half the comments here: "That's a fence post driver."
Never seen or used one in my life yet I knew instantly what it was lol
I drove many days as a young boy on the farm. My uncle let me drive it, unattended, and it too was blue. It was about a 19600 m0del with canvas top and doors.
I loved that thing! I hope this one works out for you. Nothing like an old, stock jeep. New ones suck, by comparison.
That "thing" looks like the pattern of a steel fence post. Slide that over the top and hit it with a large maul. Pretty cool. Grew up on a farm and never seen one. Would have been handy!
You should've gotten the 8N. Never hurts to have more tractors
Yep the 8N with a loader is worth more than the Jeep in that condition.
The 8N was the very first tractor I drove. I was 13 at the time. When I turned 16 and got my license, I got to mow the sides of the roads in my part of town with the sickle bar. Learned how to replace broken cutting teeth with the tools and parts I carried. Had so much fun I would have done it for free. How did I survive the 60's / 70's? Especially considering I rode on hay wagons, back of pickup trucks, and drank water from a garden hose. YIKES!
I agree
@@gliderp Been there and got the T shirt, right now I have 2 old Fords, a 2N and a Jubilee. Also have a Jeep, and had a old Flat Fender for years until a guy with more brains than money took her.
@@gliderp We that servied all that still wonder. Oh and being held by our moms in the front seat with no seatbelts.
You have a keeper there. Best part to me: you captioned “Tensions are running high…” and five seconds later Eva’s yelling out “Whee!”
What a find ! Be sure to change oil an filter(acid my have leaked down to pan),then hook up to boat tank, add coolant,run it for a while, etc. Boatloads of fun ahead !
I really hope you get this Jeep going again. I'm the sister of the woman where you got it, and our dad would love that you're so excited about it, brings a tear to my eye.
Looking forward to seeing it all done! 👍
We’re gonna get it all fixed up!
@@DieselCreek Great!
P.S. everyone absolutely loved the Jeep rides he would take us on through the fields.. they actually referred to them as "death rides"😂
I miss them
She didn't look too game at first but crawling under to get starter bolts is fully committed.
It was killin' me waiting for the vacuum to come out.
My first vehicle was a 68 jeep. Interesting note: a Freightliner key would start it.
The object you found (the steel hockey puck) is for driving steel fence posts into the
ground. It fits over the post top and then you slip a fencepost driver pipe over the
top for extra weight. Its purpose is to protect the top of the post from mushing up
and distorting when pounding the post in. Without its use, the post top can get
so mushed up (upon re-use) that a post pounder will not slip over the post top
any more. Pete from Prescott
A little late on watching this but I can identify (sort of). In 1978 I bought a running 1951 M38A1. That's the military version of the CJ5 (way before the CJ5). I brought it home and pulled the 4 cylinder engine. I bought a running Buick V6 and put in it. Then, I painted it, bought a new top, and ran the heck out of it for years. I loved that Jeep! Good luck with yours. I'd put that diesel in it!
I love how she went "Whee" when behind the wheel.
Love the Jeep. I hate to see that old 8n get scrapped though
I agree and it had a loader too
Somebody call Marty T
Grew up with an 8N with the same Wagner downpressure loader, moved a lot of snow with it. Dad found some Canadian half tracks for it and now my brother has it and added a Sherman splitter transmission to make it 8 speeds forward and 2 reverse.
@@rebelyank6361 my dad has an 8N that belonged to my grandfather, it’s a 50’s model and still runs
That object with the mushroomed head is definitely for driving fence fence posts into the ground. They're usually green and they have Metal tabs that are punched into the face of the fence post which is why the kind of V-shaped Is with the broad face
The Mrs is gonna love her new sorta kinda new ride. When she crawled under it and actually turned a wrench that shows me you done lost.
That was terrific! Eva's toy...great to have her involved in the restoration!
"Too many projects" means: "I need a few more projects!" - Most Gearheads
Too many projects means you need a bigger shop.
@@Alsintheshop I say that all the time and then find deals that are too good to pass up. Earlier this year I found a IH backhoe for $300. How do you pass that up? We did finally get a shop built however I do wish I had decided to go bigger.
The first step is knowing you have a problem. Then promptly ignoring that rationale
@@roadbossgarage7599 yes
@@roadbossgarage7599 Good then I'm well on my way to filling my yard with projects.
Civilian cousin to the 1955 M38A1 military Jeep that's been in our family since 1969. I recently restored her so a few of your issues were very familiar!! Enjoy your channel!!
First time I've ever seen someone actually clean the trash and debris out of one of these revivals instead of just working around and in it until the end. That makes me crazy and you didn't. Thanks!
Matt: Eva found a "Tee-Post Topper. It fits on top of a Tee post/fence post so you can drive it in without actually damaging the top of the fence post. whilst bashing it into the ground with a sledge hammer. Great new find !
Yes, except that it is for road sign posts, not T fence posts.
Obvious not tpost it is for fence post
Called u channel post for signs or fence
It's for the older style metal posts, they were not the T style we have today. We had several hundred of them on our place in Arkansas.
@@davemiller3027 Yep, we still have millions of those old posts here in Texas.
That girl has happy memories of cruising in an old jeep
Or a guy with a jeep. 🤭😉

Just got to say I'm 13 minutes into this vid and it's good to see the wife helping. Oh and you made my evening because I was about to watch the latest vid but I hadn't seen this 1 so I've got 2 videos to watch tonight whoop whoop
im 13 mins into it and dont remember it but i watched it because i have a 1+ year old comment on it🤣😂
Hey Matt you and Eva will be riding in no time got faith in you brother that's nothing compared to what I've seen you do on these videos Man love you guys keep doing what you're doing
We need a diesel creek and vice grip garage collaboration
A guy can only imagine...
I'd hook my peepers into that.
A feller would love that
I’ll Be Dipped, I’ve Thought To Myself…… Self, That Could Be An Interesting Vidja.
not
That looks like a post driver. I've usually seen posts like that used with in panel fences or with wide boards to simulate a wooden post.
Looks like to me it goes on top of those channel iron fence posts to drive them in.
It's for U posts. There are two types of steel fence posts. T posts and U posts which are named for their cross section looking at the end of the posts.
This makes the most sense, and they did say the jeep was used on a cattle farm. looks exactly like the right shape for those wire fence posts.
I have a couple OLD U posts from way back. That would fit right on them. They may pre-date the T post of today.
@@bluegrallis They still sell both style of posts today. I recall seeing both styles on my grandparent's farm in the 1950s.
my dad had the exact same one for majority of my childhood... finally sold it when I was 15 or so unfortunately
Very cool find!! Always good when your wife is on board and even better helping! Super cool CJ5, revive it from the 💀 dead!!! We are rooting for ya!!!
I'm an almost 80 year old female and I'm hooked on watching you!
Connie ,, I'm 78 male and hooked on watching too..
You either got the "bug" or don't. Age Doesn't matter
She's really lovely Matt go all the way and bring her back and shinning..
I agree. Don't half ass. She deserves to run the roads with pride.
I should make sandpaper-business cards for all my wrenching buddies for Christmas 😂😂😂
Being a Jeep guy. This is going to be an awesome series. I loved this video!!!
Nice find same age as me, I am a little rough around the edges these day too
As you suspected, that block thing you found in the Jeep was a u-post driver cap. Lets you hit it with a sledge or use it with a driver. You can still buy them today.
Sweet ride, yo!
Deep down I think Eva is the real brains behind this operation.
Matt your enthusiasm is infectious, thanks; I really enjoy your videos.
Dont mess with the 4 wheel drive decal for sure
That was not a decal. It is actual paint, they used a stencil to apply it.
@@freddyrosenberg9288 makes sense
Thanks
Clean off one of the brake light lens caps, should say a year of Jeep. Pull the engine. Bench test the starter. Pull the seats and give it a good cleaning, power wash it. Test the radiator.
jeep used the same tailights from55 to 66 think they were grote
Mike, he stated he tested the starter...
Get a roof
Es wundert mich jedesmal wenn ich deine technik sehe.
My Dad ordered and bought a 1964 Kaiser/Willys CJ5 same color as this one. I was six years old. I bought it from him in 1977 for $400. Over the years that we owned it, the F Head, Hurricane 4 was rebuilt three times that I can remember. That Jeep could climb like a goat. AWESOME memories...
From an obsessive restorer, how lucky you are to have found an 'original' intact vehicle. I would have removed each part, cleaned, repaired and painted and put aside ready for rebuild. When it comes to the motor, same applies. I get a lot of pleasure out of full resto, (not necessarily to showroom) Will be watching from Australia with great interest.
NO, this one s a survivor, leave it as is as much as possible.
Marty T would have that tractor hauling logs inside a day or two. 😜
ETA I'll wager on a blown head gasket on the Jeep.
Yep that tractor looked real nice , be a shame if they had dumped it, and yes ,Marty T would have fer sure had it running real sweet. Seems that's the outcome of a lotta farm gear, my friend very rarely keeps his gear maintained, evrn personal transport, and then gets agro when he hasta fork out big bucks to repair worn out equipment
@@edwardmulder3777 I’m sure the scrap yard sold it not cut up for scrap especially where Matt lives worth more around there then the scrap metal price
Gotta be
On using the impact for the spark plugs... it's an iron head. As long as you don't go crazy, it's fine. If it was an aluminum head, you'd have to be pretty careful.
Thanks Matt. I'm keen to see the next phase of this project. Nice to see your wife (Eva?) involved. Give her some safety googles when under looking up. Cheers.
Idk who has the better “post-first-start” laugh. Matt or Mustie1! Hahaga
bothoffem
Both have that gleeful giggle down pat. Lol
Mustie just keeps going
Twin stick garage has a good chuckle as well 😁😁
Its for pounding fence posts. Those Metal ones.
Agreed, fence post drive. You fit it over the top and then hit it with a sledge hammer.
Also known as tee posts.
@@michaelroselius9848 Not T-posts but U-posts. U-posts can be used on fences and sign posts.
In the late 60's I had the good fortune to drive one of these things around the republic of Vietnam.
Had a 1980 CJ-5 about 35 years ago. Loved it. Wish I had today...
The butterfly was definitely a good omen! And yes..it is now your wife’s Jeep. I think she would like a nice hood wrap of that blue tinted butterfly 🦋… starting 40:06 …….
Sorry Matt !! 🤷♂️
If my search-fu has not failed me it could be a Pipevine Swallowtail, a really beautiful butterfly.
Paint "Miss Eva" on the little tailgate and a butterfly 😀
Don’t ever feel a video is too long cause we love watching them! For me, I like the abandoned Church and all the non running things you get running! Good to see your wife helping you too!
I love that you always make a point to mention earlier videos when it comes to a project. This is probably the first time it's ever applied to me since in the last year I don't think I've missed a single video but this was the first time I had to go back and make sure I watch this video first and can't wait to watch the second one. Love your content Matt and all the hard work you put into it.
The butterfly at the end says good work, I like it!
“Welcome back to Kroil Creek, if this is your first time joining us...”
Hey if it means the man's got more free time to make and edit videos I'm all for him getting sponsors. Plus it's common knowledge that Kroil's expensive because it's the best... (good luck importing any to the UK, it's outlawed to prevent the collapse of 3in1 oil company lol JK)
I just bought a can very expensive can buy gallon can of pb blaster for same price of 10oz of kroil I’m using it sparingly works very good for extremely rusted nuts and bolts

Someone years ago gave me a 1968 j3000. Hadn’t been run in about 10 years. I dumped atf down each plug hole and came back a week later. Started within less than one revolution. Every mosquito within mikes were dead. Ran great
Dam this makes me smile to see that Jeep come back to life
Man, all you guys that live in these areas with old barns are lucky. There’s NOTHING around me in the city.
That Jeep is sweet!! Your wife is funny haha and did a great job.
I am enjoying your practical approach. Love the Jeep. Have you another video of it. Saw one from barn to engine starting? Enjoyed you and the demolition regrading the site. Keep up the good work. Thomas Dempsey
Eva is wife goals. She seems very helpful and supportive.
I enjoyed the WTF look on Eva face when you picked up the Jeep's ass end with the skid-steer bucket and moved it over.
25:17 looks like a driver for pressed steel fencing posts.
Also for the short white mile marker posts.?
Yep. It's a T-post driver.
26:45 man I was just as excited as you and I’m behind a screen.
Great job rescuing the 64 Jeep CJ5, Matt, especially when I was grunting alongside you while watching in getting that engine unstuck.
I have a feeling that the jeep is gonna be hers.😁
Love your videos. Watch every one as soon as the notification pops up. I’m 29y/o and disabled, I love watching videos like yours. Just good clean fun with old iron. I have a 75 Chevy c20 outside in the weeds, it dies of a rod knock. It’s my dream to one day have it back on the road with a diesel motor backed by a manual trans.
Good choice brother, I hope you can make it happen because that sounds like it would be a fun as hell truck
Just watched video. I seen the butterfly. That is the old owner giving you his blessing to work on the jeep.
You are a blessed guy. Eva is a doll. You are very fortunate to have her. She is a jewel of great value.
Matt: When you get the little Jeep running well and road worthy, please install a roll bar! I don't want nuthin to happen to you or Miss Eva in the event of a roll over. And yes, I'd like to see you try to knock out the dents as best you can. Congrats on your latest acquisition!
Matt, I’m watching this with an eye infection from rust falling while I was under a tractor. Please give Eva some safety glasses when she’s helping you. Great find, I’m envious.
Great advice. Sorry to hear you ended up with an infection, and godspeed to you.
Great advise, great habit
I lost sight in my left eye (long story but suffice to say I live in a scary part of Africa). It is not nice. Now after 20 years the good eye is showing age and is deteriorating fast, so please safety glasses are worth far more than the few $$$ it cost Spend a few extra $ and buy quality I follow many shows similar to this scary how bad the eye protection is all round
that's what i thought too
Was thinking the same thing when I decided to read your post. Absolutely good advice. HOOAH!!!
Man, it was a tough fight but you won as usual. I m proud of you. Congratulations. Keep it up 👍
Mrs Creek is definitely a welcome addition to your videos.
Dennis Collins would pay top dollar for this he just loves these thing's.
