Thanks for taking us along on your projects. The amount of work it must also take to setup cameras, film, then edit and post online must be monumental. We all appreciate all your hard work.
One of the best things I ever did was help my old boss build a garage for my Father. My Pop wanted a two-car carriage shed garage with a loft, and a 14” I-beam running from side to side mid garage. Over the years, we used a beam dolly with chain falls or come-alongs to pull engines, vehicle bodies, heavy equipment off trailers, etc. It was a great. It was a great benefit in lieu of a crane, and we had a fun time using that feature for our projects. Thanks for the video Jesse! I love watching the tear downs and re-builds and whatever project comes along. Stay Safe!!! 👍😎🇺🇸
Hi Man, I really enjoy your channel immensely. The long format is great as I can settle down and enjoy on my TV like others would a movie. Very entertaining and informative content. Thank you for taking us along on the mechanical adventures. Regards from South Africa
Okay, To flush the transmission do this. Put the cooler lines you took of the radiator into a bucket. Start the engine and pump out the fluid until it stops flowing. Drain any remaining fluid if it has a drain plug. leave the cooler lines in bucket. Re fill the transmission and then start the engine. this will pump out the contaminated fluid and not recirculate it back into the transmission. repeat until clean. Works every time. Cheers Stew.
Pettibone lives again. one more project off the list. new garage paying for itself already Jesse. now the telehandler can pay for its mini vacation when the new garage doors come in
Jessie, it's impressive enough the work you and your brothers do , but the most impressive thing are the various tools you've invented to get jobs done , much respect mate. Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I, for one, enjoy these time passages of your working life (w/kids and mom) I am also eager to hear your assistant's vocalizations while he works.... The kids are angels, by the way. Glad to hear it all. Great Channel.
Wow, 50yrs ago this year I rebuild the 6 cylinder motor on my 1963 Mercury Comet like this but for the life of me I couldn't tell you how I did it except for my dad's Chiltons Manual and some guidance from him LOL
Thanks Jesse! I think your antifreeze in the oil is a reminder that gremlins will pop up after you think you’re finished and you just have to shake your head and get on with fixing it. I admire your work to get this old iron working - you will have a great machine soon. 😊
Another brilliant and in-depth video, Jesse. The engine sounds sweet and has zero smoke, which is awesome. Having your workshop built and a roof over your head has given you a blessing to get all these jobs completed. Quite an interesting machine. I was bored and google the model and couldn't find any information on it based on UK & US searches. Couldn't see anything mentioning a Rockwell transmission. All I found was a Clark T12000. Keep up the great work
Hope you get the water/oil problem sorted. It certainly has come a long way. I see that you got the garage doors installed. Looks good. Keep'em coming Jesse.
I never get tired of watching Noah, especially with his pet goat. What a great lead-in to this video! Oh, and regarding your liner puller, it's not silly or stupid if it works!
Thanks you for showing that weld job on the exhaust. It makes me feel better about myself. The bigger the blob the better the job. LOL. I am sure lots of dads are showing that to their kids to scare them to make sure they pay attention in welding class.
Wow Jesse, there was a lot of work put into this video. Love to see Pearl make an entrance, to keep you on your toes. I like the longer videos, please keep them coming.
Thank you for sharing, Jesse. Lots of hard tedious work. I'm sure it's difficult to do. Very interesting to watch your diagnostic skills and plan of repairs. Yes it probably was a blessing how the radiator -transmission cooler leak became evident. It's a bummer to work through loosing all the fluid but, the cost of the flush is probably less than a transmission repair😢. I do admire your attitude. Stay positive, safe, strong, healthy, discerning and successful. All those around you and most that watch will gain a perspective of mature work ethic. 🤔🤭Did you cuss. I would have. Then you get to move on. I do pray for you and all your crew to be safe, healthy and successful ☝🙏🙌💪learning and patience are companions to getting through losses😊keep smiling and growing, the kids are learning. 👍👊
Overall man you really made a good machine there just got to finish the little box and that thing will be with you a long time I really enjoy watching your videos especially all the machine work you do with the overhauling of engines and bringing things back to New Life you do a great job Jesse
Sure enjoy watching your videos, as well as your Mom & Dad's.....You are really Blessed and that lil'Noah is a real Pistol!!! He will be the next Jesse! GOD BLESS
One UA-cam site I visited used an oil/water separator. Coolest thing I'd ever seen. The guy had a skidder or some foresting equipment. His hydraulic oil became contaminated with water and he rented this separator, ran the equipment while running the separator. The milky oil started darkening up, water was pulled out of the oil. It took several hours, but he cleaned up the oil. Not sure it would work in your circumstance.
I glad fix great job Jesse 👏👍 You have better luck than me I just scraped a KOHLER engine today one of the pitons was smashed to bits inside the engine I took the entire engine in bits LIVE and is definitely scrap!
Hey Jesse, don't feel bad about your projects going sideways on you. I had it happen to me at the tail end of last week. I replaced the intake manifold gaskets, heater coolant tube and the water pump on my 2002 Ford F150 and my engine repair turned out perfectly. It runs beatiful. However my truck lasted until the next day because my gas tank, which I already knew was going to need replacing, decided to spring a leak when I put 10 gallons ($40 worth) of gas in it. Now my truck is still down until I can get a replacement tank for it. So you''re not the only one my friend. Keep at it!
Try headers coming out the side hole instead of that manifold. Then you can even mount the exhaust on springs. It will also keep some heat away from your cylinder.
another amazing video of you and your guys rebuilding / maintaining equipment, thats pretty cool how pettibone engineered the drawer style drive train.
Use an external oil cooler with it's own fan mounted as far away from the radiator as you can get it. If the oil cooler or hoses start leaking mounted to the front of the radiator, oil will coat the radiator and dirt will quickly clog up the fins.
All do respect the acid does not affect bearing life. The oil builds up acids in them. That finger print acid deal was old timers not knowing. I have built plenty of engines have a had 0 issues. You want them clean at install, but it does not matter if you have oil on your hands or not.
Yes, the dowels are for the gasket. If dowels were bigger, the gasket would not fit. Head holes are just clearance holes. you figured that out already. nice video, very good job on it all. Engineering wise, and I am one, if you had tight dowels into head, with that many head bolts, the tolerances would require larger head bolt clearance holes. So they used semi tight clearances holes to locate head good enough. Gasket staying in position is vital when putting on heavy clumsy head. Nothing really super critical to align between head and block on this probably. (water jacket holes) ( push rods)
It was a headache on that radiator. Some of it gave you some trouble but wow the motor sounds great. Not going to mention the weld on the flex sleeve lol. So you know Jesse #fullWatch. I can’t remember the last time I stayed 2hrs on a UA-cam video. There wasn’t a dull moment. You kept me watching. So nice work. Nice edit. Great vid/movie. Beats tv any day of the week. Glad you got the garage cleared out. After the doors are on it’ll be a lot cooler. Thanks Jesse
Another really excellent and interesting video , I feel sorry for you that you still ended up with a few problems but I’m sure you will be able to sort them out.
Great job on this project help the phoenix rise from the ashes!! I honestly would find a different radiator guy! He is lucky your a even tempered man! Good post Jesse!
The reason most engines are bored direct to cast is cost it is much cheaper to bore the casting once and stuff some pistons in rather than a multi part instillation, vehicles are built to a price, great vid.
Oh, BTW, you guys are doing a great job! Keep doing the best you can with what you got and ignore the negative comments! I’m just an old man with opinion! Lol!
Jesse call a tireman to come out and remove the tire for you. But I imagine it's hard to get someone to work on splitter rings. I enjoy your videos good luck.
Awesome Video. Take the wheel to a tire shop and have them fix it. Use cheap Walmart oil to flush the tranny, don't use expensive stuff for flushing. You almost there !
Nice work on the engine. Bummer about the radiator. I'm kinda ticked at your radiator guy telling you it wouldn't be a problem. Is the transmission just a gear box? It's not like an automatic transmission or anything, right? If so, I wonder if you could use diesel fuel to flush it. 5 gallons, $20. Run it for a few seconds and drain. Hopefully that would pick up most of the water. Then once that is reasonably clear, go to the oil? Just a thought.
Its a powershift transmission so its not automatic but also not a gearbox, i flushed it twice yesterday with half diesel and half sae30 and it actually worked well. I was surprised
There are places that rent filter carts specifically for removing water from hydraulic systems like that. That might be something to look into for the transmission. You can also boil the water out of the oil you have and reuse it if you're willing to go to the trouble.
i think the best you could do, once the telehandler fixed you should sell it with both cranes that you have, and try to buy a 360 telehandler, i think it will be a more usefull machine for you. But once again great video as always Jesse. Greetings from France
Jessy, re the oil cooler bypass. It appears to be a similar setup to water heating in a Pool heat pump unit. In that the heat exchanger is most effective at a specific flow of liquid, and in the case of a pool, the pool pump pushes far more volume than the heat exchanger can manage thermally. In the case of a pool heat pump, they have a bypass loop that you can calibrate so that the pool pump can work at its maximum throughput, and you can wind back the flow of the Heat pump input so that only a percentage of the total liquid travels through the heat exchanger on each cycle. For example, A pool pump may push 5500 gallons of water per hour, via the by-pass loop, only 500 to 600 gallons will pass through the heat exchanger within the same period. While this sounds counter-intuitive it means the thermal reaction of heating (cooling in your case) has the maximum time to do its work and thus while it takes longer to get to the desired temp, it gets there using much less energy than if you had a bigger heat exchanger. In your case that may also be a space-saving issue. Not sure this is actually what you are looking at, but it seems very much a plusable reason to me. i hope that helps D
Thanks for taking us along on your projects. The amount of work it must also take to setup cameras, film, then edit and post online must be monumental. We all appreciate all your hard work.
Yep I second that
Sure is an awful nice video kind sir
Thank goodness for UA-camrs like Jesse (2+hour videos). Always blown away by the breadth of your knowledge
Thanks man! I really learn something from your videos. I may never rebuild an engine, but still good knowledge
Good job fellah
Thanks for being a prolific contributor. And I thought I worked too much. Now I can watch people working while I take a break.
Jesse's videos are therapeutic. That brief rant at 40:00 was hilarious 😂

The torque converter is full of water contaminated oil. That is hard to flush.

My weekend is now complete with a video from one of my favorite creators. Thanks for bringing us along Jesse.
Smashing out the work and videos! Nice one Jesse 👌
That thing purrs like a kitten great job 👍
Great content Jesse always a pleasure to watch you videos better than any TV channel. Tom UK
That was quite an adventure. Love your drone shots. ❤❤❤❤

Great video Jesse. I know you are glad that project is done. It is going to be a lot nicer now. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
Your son is going to be a great mechanic someday.
What a great project thanks for sharing 😀
Nice work Jesse

Your videos are the best,,,I'm so sorry for your problems,😮
Great video. Always impressed with the time and effort put into making this old, tired iron run strong and be ready to work again.
Wish you had your merch game going so we could contribute to these builds, love watching the crazy ish you do fixing these machines
looks like your kids dump truck could use a wheel and tire as well. That was a great outro
My father added an oil cooler like you proposed on a Ford 3/4 ton that he used to pull trailers. Worked well.
glad it's mostly back together and working, i'm sure these odds and ends will clear up soon
Jesse, great Job rebuilding ur Pettibone Telehandler Motor.. sounds and looks awesome..
Overall man you really made a good machine there just got to finish the little box and that thing will be with you a long time I really enjoy watching your videos especially all the machine work you do with the overhauling of engines and bringing things back to New Life you do a great job Jesse
She's a runner! Sounds good.
I hope the best for each and every Muller, but during the entire video, Noah was the cutest little bouncy thing.💚🤍❤💯💯💯💚🤍❤
Sure enjoy watching your videos, as well as your Mom & Dad's.....You are really Blessed and that lil'Noah is a real Pistol!!! He will be the next Jesse! GOD BLESS
No special animations, no hyped thumbnail, no bullshit shoutout, just original content, it does appear that, less sometimes is more.
well that was a heck of a job. Must be a super good feeling at the first start that it runs smooth. Well done! And the doors are already in 😀
Jesse is a magician, or in other words... the professor
You’ve been posting so many videos lately! Keep it up, your channel will continue to grow!!!

that probably would work but I cant seem to find one, maybe I am not using the right words to find it
Everything came out good, except that exhaust weld! Lawd have mercy 😂😂😂
I like your re-engineering of the exhaust, as well as the rest, JM.
I glad fix great job Jesse 👏👍
You have better luck than me I just scraped a KOHLER engine today one of the pitons was smashed to bits inside the engine I took the entire engine in bits LIVE and is definitely scrap!
Nice garage doors thanks for the sneak peek👍

another amazing video of you and your guys rebuilding / maintaining equipment, thats pretty cool how pettibone engineered the drawer style drive train.
happens a lot with special tools , might be an idea to modify it yourself or make your own tools , you got the brains to do it
It was a great rebuild to watch sure hope the other issues you have will make even better 👍👋🇨🇦
You did a graet big work. Have a nice week.
Sorry you're having some lingering issues on the telehandler Jesse. You have the patience of a saint, you'll sort it out eventually.
Another great video, you guys rock

It’s a total team effort at your homestead Jesse , from the wife and kids , brother in law, all the way down to Pat. LoL
Jesse, you should buy a parts washer and a hot water pressure washer. It makes everything a lot easier. Great video thanks for sharing!
GREAT video series!!!
Another really excellent and interesting video , I feel sorry for you that you still ended up with a few problems but I’m sure you will be able to sort them out.
Coffee on, Here we go!! Lov it! Learn a lot! Cheers!;-)!
Great job on this project help the phoenix rise from the ashes!! I honestly would find a different radiator guy! He is lucky your a even tempered man! Good post Jesse!
Hi My Dear Friend Very Very Great Job ❤❤❤❤❤
GOOD JOB!
Great video
The reason most engines are bored direct to cast is cost it is much cheaper to bore the casting once and stuff some pistons in rather than a multi part instillation, vehicles are built to a price, great vid.
nice work !
That sucks! Like your attitude. 😊
When this job is done you know that you can trust it to work properly
great work!!!!
Oh, BTW, you guys are doing a great job! Keep doing the best you can with what you got and ignore the negative comments! I’m just an old man with opinion! Lol!
I love watching you working on machinery,how many projects before the dream truck starts again
Bummer Jess had some issues after.
But good rebuild.
👍👍

Yea those things are really nice but you are looking at 100k for one
All the farmers call a tire repair man and he comes with a truck and has all the tools needed.
Well done guys
Noah is your youngest? Lol Hes a learning boy for sure. His mind is working overtime. Great fix video.
Yes he just turned 4 a few months ago
Disappointed you did not wear any John Deere garb😂 Seriously, I like your videos as you don't hold back and speak as you find!
Thanks for this really appreciate it!
