I wouldn't say this was an unsatisfactory video, anytime you're dragging something out of a barn that hasn't ran in decades there's going to be multiple issues with it, but a little time and love I think you'll bring this little beast back to life. Personally I think it's definitely worth saving.
totally agree. Unsatisfactory would have been a "still" blown headgasket, or a cracked block. Just a radiator is another step down the road to recovery.
100% agree. Also keeping in mind these old Jeeps were made to be rugged and maintained in the field so there’s plenty of parts and support out there.
Same. I watch these videos with the captioning on. I found it amusing that it showed "Thank You" as they were bombing down the driveway. 😅
I like the change up (heavy equipment…shop build…Jeep repair etc.) . Good content all around
It's a jeep thing. Fresh off the dealer lot or 30 years in a barn they all have problems
What happened to the Barlow pocket knife? Great video! You should try and keep the seat original. Looking forward to part 4!
Omg me too! Something strange about the way people just tell their whole tale and dont even realize
Based on the prices I've seen original seat frames go for lately it's definitely worth having them recovered.
You must not do upholstery work....I do,,, the cost of material and labor is just about if not more to buying a replacement.....
Yj he said he wanted to keep it original meaning no or very few replacement parts,well worth recovering the seat for a little more money.
@@vernchaput6368 I watched the video, I heard him say original when I made my comment,, DUH, I hold onto my vehicles, I had one for 24 years when I sold it and 22 on another, so I am very much aware of OEM, the chair that is there needs to be sandblasted and painted before upholstered because the metal is pitted, rusted, that will cut through the foam, material that you lay over it....sure you could skip the metal work but you spend a lot on refurbishing it you must do all of it.
Not a disappointing ending at all! This is the kind of video series that keeps many of us coming back for more! I’m looking forward to the next episode!
Good work I would reworkthe seatyou can't.lose
Always look forward to the old creek videos, cracking content.
Great content! Really enjoy the videos! Curious if you able to acquire a title with the jeep?
Might want to re-torque the head after a few heat cycles. Enjoyed the ride as usual, and always reminds me I'm not the only collector of old, but useful machinery. Cheers, Mike
I did not know that. Best wishes.
Great save. I think a new radiator is a great option vs having to deck a head and block. Way better. No disappointments here. Nice work.
Hey Matt...my vote is for keeping the old engine...the jeep will really lose something if you swap it out. Such a cool old original ride.
yup even 4cyl iron duke 4 cyl is good en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Duke_engine
I absolutely LOVE watching Diesel Creek. Matt is the Ultimate "Redneck", because he looks at everything and resolves all problems and his plan of attack is explained on video.
Everything I fix, I do the same thing.
Get that old seat reworked at an upholstery shop for sure. Also, I would love to see stuff like that fuel pump rebuild in actual real time. Perhaps you can do stuff like that in it's own separate video? Anyway, love the content so keep it coming Matt 👌
Yeah, the springs and frame not being rusted out means the seat is worth saving for originality at least. Might cost more than heading to the junkyard and putting something more comfortable in, bit it'll be worth more to a collector if it gets sold on.
I agree. I would love to see some deep dives on some repairs.
I know, in my head, screaming, "fix the seat", its where your butt goes.
@@bruwin my thought as well. Same with diesel swapping. Keep everything as original as you can, if you seem it on, it might make the next guy happier.
Notice the absence of any plastic packaging in the 1971 rebuilt kit - Proves its possible!
I was so impressed with the fuel pump rebuild kit- it came with everything except the body and some hardware. At the same time, I was saddened to think it was nothing like what you would get today, and the jobs to even manufacture it shipped overseas.
I absolutely LOVE your time lapse music video mode!! perfect soundtrack and speed of time lapse in sync!!
I'd hardly call it disappointing. Replacing a radiator is a 1/2 hour job, and given the age and condition, a leaking radiator is hardly a surprise. Enjoyed it muchly.
Sweeeeeeeeeet! - The sight and sound of you heading up to the top of your driveway reminded me of MASH. Here's hoping another radiator will resolve the over-heating issue. A 50+ year old rebuild kit in great condition - That's a find in itself! Great effort Matt, Thank you.👍
Man, I loved that show growing up... still do. I also agree that it's probably something to do with the old rad, but we shall have to wait and see.
That engine sound instantly made me think of M*A*S*H too!
@@aceadman Ditto!😃
I felt the same way!
Your videos are always enjoyable no matter what you what project you work on or how it ends, Matt!
Great project and wonderful attitude about fixing her up! I have a ‘57 and a ‘60 I’m restoring which adds to the enjoyment of watching! Please keep ‘em coming! 👍
I have to say one of the best parts of my weekend is sitting down with a good cup of coffee and watching your latest videos. Your videos are always relaxing and just all around enjoyable. I have been watching your videos since the Clark Loader made its first appearance and I have never seen a video I would classify as a let down. Your content is awesome!
I agree totally . I look forward to his videos every week. A hard working young man he is .
Enjoyed the video, the only thing disappointing is we never found out about the pen knife! Nothing worth doing is easy, so keep at it!
I have that same Barlow jack knife in a dresser drawer. Hoping to see what you found so facinating about it.
Yah
Hey Matt, it's reall treat to watch your videos for me, i just wanted to say how thankful i am for all this things you are showing to us!!!
P.s. your estate is really beautiful with all the woods and fields!
Cheers from Bosnia!
hey congrats ot hitting 500k my friend. glad you got that heating problem solved aswell. I love those old jeeps and hope to have one of my own some day. something about the sound of those jeeps just dives me crazy and I love it. keep up the good work!
You have to admire the simplicity of those old jeeps, they were designed to survive and fixable by just about anyone who can hold a wrench, thank you for being a great custodian of a little piece of America's Best Work.
Amen Brother! '...watch where youre going, 'member where you've been...that's the the way I see it I'm a simple man!" Back from the days when America actually obeyed Gods command!
One thing about thise older cars: no government mandated pollution controls. Keeps life simple.
Good on you Matt, in my opinion it's a very satisfactory episode! You've taken something that's been languishing for decades and now it's happily running round the acreage. Love it, keep up the good work 😁
Congrats on hitting 500K subscribers. I know there are several more people out there that will really enjoy your videos.
Best wishes Matt.
Good ol jeep. I have a 62 that I have let sit for a few years and this makes me want to get it running again . I love my old jeep and hearing yours run brings back memories of my grandfather teaching me to drive stick in it.
I really like how you have all these projects going on at once. Like a box of chocolates, I never know what I'm going to get. But I know it's going to be a great video!!
Things don't always turn out shiny in the real world. That's something you don't learn on TV and I say thanks Matt for showing it all to us. How could we appreciate your work if you didn't show all of the trouble you went up against?
Congrats Matt on getting 500k subscribers. Everyone of them I bet are glued to the screen watching your videos. Can’t wait to see what you post next. Oh btw love the new shop!!
Omg that View In the intro is just stunning all them colors in them Trees Thanks for sharing the view Matt 0:03 @Diesel Creek
What is most interesting is the Fuel Pump Repair Kit had a National Stock Number on the side of the box. The pump was likely used on the Army's M151 series 1/4 ton (Jeep) trucks. Great video Matt!
Matt I think you would find a cooling system pressure test kit beneficial in your line of work
Those pressure testers can be borrowed, from car parts stores, for a deposit, for the price. I've seen an engine run hot with no thermostat. Maybe it's a case of heat transfer time.
Love this refurb! Brings back a lot of memories! The seats still appear in reasonable shape. As upholstery jobs go this is fairly straight forward. All the upholstery guys I knew have all retired. But in my younger days I would have tackled recovering the seat myself. You may still be able to find the seat cover kits. Add the padding over the springs, stretch on the seat cover and attach with anchor clips. When I see some of the other things you’ve tackled it wouldn’t surprise me if you gave it a try! Good luck!
No way is it unsatisfactory! Another great video…great job, you now know the inside of the engine is pretty good, and it’s definitely running well. Keep up the good work!
Hi Matt. That seat could be easily saved and reupholstered as for the pocket knife what happened to that how did the vapour rust do?
Yep Stew, I was wondering also how the old Barlow fared with the evaporust treatment.
@@stephenkurash8799 yeah Think Matt will have to make a short video on it just for us. 😁👍
Maybe the Barlow just evaporated?
Hats off to you rebuilding that fuel pump on the tailgate I could never have done that without clearing off my workbench an doing it in the shop because I guarantee that at some point a critical piece would have jumped off into the gravel never to be seen again.
Great video as usual I learn a lot from you an you really inspire me to take on projects I might be reluctant to do myself.
Great video Matt - think you should be able to get a cover kit for the seats - with padding and stitched covers etc. Should just slip straight on. Loving this older beater.
Hey Matt!!! Congrats on 500K!!! Love your show. Just keep on cranking them out!
Hi Matt: As for the seats, there are complete stock style replacements out there. Been a while since I checked on seats for my 73 CJ-5, but seems like they were about $150 each last time I looked. In our neck of the woods, there's only one grumpy old auto upholsterer left, and I checked with him 2 or 3 years ago, and he wanted $300 each to redo the old ones. Be interesting to see which way you go here. The last 63 CJ-5 I had, the horn wire shorted out and caused a lot of the wiring to melt down. As I remember, there was a big hot wire to the horn, and a ground wire to the steering wheel horn button. As opposed to having a horn relay situation. Might want to look at that. My daughter was driving when it happened, she had no clue what to do, so it was a meltdown.
Seems like auto upholsterers are always grumpy.
Must be an unrewarding job.
@@godfreypoon5148 The old ones seem to be. But if you find someone younger, they really like what they do. There's a shop in Appleton, WI that is just awesome to work with.
Matt go look up those it's worth it don't let it pass
That’s a great little project. I’d love to find something like that. That seat is definitely salvageable. What happened to the pocket knife?
Was wondering that too
Congratulations on the 500k Matt. Loving the CJ-5 project and I do believe I heard the sound of a pneumatic nailer in background. Can’t wait to see what happening on the shop.
"rust in the face". That was worth a laugh. I'm not a mechanic so I gain a great deal of knowledge watching you work. Since you work by yourself, for the most part, I am most impressed with your safety precautions.
You knowledge of the combustion engine is above normal and I am waiting for completion! Excited to see what you come up with!
Matt, what a treat this video has been. So, so, many memories of riding with my dad in his 64 Jeep, and all the work we did on it through the years, including taking the fuel tank out and fixing a leak with epoxy, as well as taking the radiator out to get it re-cored. Thanks for the memories!
I just love this jeep. It has such beautiful patina. Thank you for saving her as she is an absolute gem.
Really appreciated your work..
What makes me shocked the fuel pump that was on the sale racks from 1971 and still new..
Thanks xxx.
Looking at the condition of the Jeep,it is certainly worth a rebuild.
I dunno, I wouldn't call it disappointing. The big thing being that the engine runs fine, and the overheating is solved generally. Needs a new radiator, no biggie there, brakes are just something to do. I'm thinking this is a darn cool build, you're going to have an awesome ol run-about when this is done! Cheap by the standards of your other projects too.
Great video as always - don't think of it as unsatisfactory. Progress was made! Keep up the great work!
Great video Matt. Any time you can rescue a Jeep is a good day :) I'm always amazed by how you just jump in and take on these projects. Your videos are always interesting and I'm always learning something new.
Thanks Matt 👍🏻
Awesome fall colours in the opening shots of your property Matt, also the shot of your new shop sure warms the heart! ♥️
Great video, Matt! Good to see the old Jeep running (with just a few problems)! Actually, I was waiting to see the fuel tank with a few rocks in it - strapped to a tractor wheel running up and down the drive! Glad it didn't need to happen. Thanks, be well, be safe!
I enjoy watching you do this stuff. I find it more fun watching somebody else do stuff than it is for me to have to do it LOL. Seriously though you're going good and you got yourself a buggy to use around the yard
I hope you saved the seat. Awesome find deserves original if possible. YOUR find brings back many Golden memories as a young boy with my uncle's jeep and him trusting me to drive it. Sweet thing for a young boy, starting at age 8. All the best luck to you! 😁
love the channel Matt, one tip for cleaning rusty gas tanks I found was Evaporust. get as much rust out as possible with a pressure washer or however then fill with the Evaporust and let sit for a day or 2. the tank looked almost factory again inside.
if you losen the sensor you can also shopvac a good amount of junk out of the tank - losening the sensor is mostly to let air in so the tank doesn't implode
One suggestion for putting new gaskets on rough surfaces, Permanent makes a spray copper gasket sealer I've used on head gaskets, YES I know they are supposed to be put on dry but when a company insists on keeping a piece of equipment going long after it needs a complete rebuild, you do what you have to. It works well on rough slightly tweaked heads and other thins. Those old jeeps were fun as long as you weren't in a hurry. Ones I drove topped out at 45. Some guys had the overdrive that went in the PTO opening. Have fun keep on running.
I really enjoyed the Jeep, I’ve kept a Barlow knife in my pocket for the last 40 years. I was looking forward to the results on the old Barlow cleaning. I’ve found a few old Barlows over the years. I’ve made new side plates for them. I rotate my collection for daily use every so often. Thank you for all your hard work on the videos. God bless
👊🏼😎
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Cool video. I always find your projects interesting. The DSA number on the bottom of the rebuild kit label is a military contract number so that might be military surplus. Of course, they may have put those contract numbers on the box for dual use - civilian and military. The Defense Supply Agency was replaced by the Defense Logistics Agency in 1978.
It also has an NSN, so it is actually surplus. It is an older NSN before they added two more digits in the middle.
@@beverlychmelik5504 Thought so but it was missing digits so I assumed it might be a civilian part number. I enlisted in the 80s so we were still driving jeeps but had transitioned to DLA by then. Still using pen, paper, and punch cards though...LOL!
@@ozarksethic I worked on B-52s and Tankers in the Air Force, and occasionally we would get new old stock with the older stock numbers. One time we ordered a filter housing and we got one that been on the shelf since the mid 50's, and this was around 1978 or so.
@@beverlychmelik5504 Very cool. I watched them work in Afghanistan. Pretty impressive. It's amazing that they are still flying with no serious replacement on the horizon, kind of like the Ma Deuce for us ground pounders.
Another good video Matt, I don’t think I’d call it a disappointing end. You fixed the main issues and discovered few minor problems along the way but nothing you can’t handle in due time. The nice thing about these old jeeps is they’re easy to work on and there are plenty of experts in the Jeep community to offer advise. The seat frame and springs look to be in descent shape from what I can see. I’d take it to a local upholstery shop to get an idea on how much to pad and recover it.
Just found your channel about a week or 3 ago. Love it! First video I saw was with the Detroit 3-53 first starting up. Brought back memories. My dad had a Drott Yumbo with that engine. Back in the 60's. You never forget that sound.
I noticed that you had a bad experience with the 7018 rod One brand was bad and another was good. I am far from a professional welder and never used 7018. From what I understand 7018 has a self life. 30 days from what I have read after opening. Humidity can shorten that life span.
A friend of mine cooks them in the oven at 350 before using them. My preferred rod is 7014. Great horizontal welding. Not so good for vertical welding. Horizontal welding the slag will peal off on it's own.
I enjoyed this vid, can't wait to see more work on it. It's awesome to see the tougher vehicles come back to life. I'd go ahead and restore it over time for a farm ride. Jeep Life.
Right on
The vacuum pump on the fuel pump is for the vacuum for the wipers.
True, International Scouts (and a few others) of the same era had this.
If you're feeling like a diesel swap in the Jeep, could be a neat idea and I've heard some quite interesting things about a Kubota swap. If not a Perkins from a tractor if you're not concerned about high rpm.
I love your videos! Very inspiring and informative. I’m rebuilding a M35A2 and other barn finds.
I would love ❤ to see you teach your lady how to drive the manual transmission in the CJ! I imagine many others would too.
Hi Matt, just want to point out that when you get to be 58 you will probably find a lot of minor issues like leaks, farts, strange noises when you move. If you can keep going with a little love and tender care like you are giving this jeep then all is good. She sounds really good for her age and treatment. Hope you will too.
Not a disappointing video at all. You made forward progress on getting it back running. I would expect pulling something like this out of a rotten barn would have multiple issues. Like you said, all fixable if you want to spend the time and money on it. I'm sure if you decide not to keep it, you will find a willing buyer for it.
nice i would see if you get it reappolstered if possible. nice work on the tank and full pump and head gaskets. thank you for sharing. hope it works out
Man that's a cool old jeep! Looks great running down your driveway! And, my new favorite T-Shirt; I just bought it !
I have to admit, a 3-53 or 3-71, even a 2-71 from an old water pump would work in something that small, would be awesome in that. But since the engine is not DOA, keep going. Really like your content Matt, keep it up. The seat, do it yourself. Foam padding some hide from a wild Nauga, (I know hard to catch) it would make great content. Heck, do them both.
Something to keep in mind is the weight of diesels. In sand or mud the front end wants to sink, no if you want a tractor...
Or add another Deutz diesel to the fleet
Ah yes. The elusive Naga. We always had to order the hyde from farms because the wild ones were so hard to trap. Mom used to do upholstery when I was a kid. I learned a lot and became an expert at pulling staples from chair frames.
This is a classic, though it isn't heavy machinery like Christine, it is worth making good for the long haul. I actually envy you for having this opportunity to enjoy working with a piece of machinery (vehicle) like this that does NOT require a degree in electrical or computer genius skills to work on. Keep at it, Matt,...make it right.
Great video Matt! Anytime you pull out you rusty gold there is a great video. Its a marathon...not a sprint. And for the haters....let em hate. you know what you accomplish in these videos. You edit the video the best you can to give us the best video you can. Keep up the great work!
cool old unit. i like those. simple and really cant kill them! great video as always!
Congrats on 500k Matt! you deserve that accomplish by FAR!!! Cant wait to see what your future holds on UA-cam!
Thank you!
@@DieselCreek you should allways, clean inpect, paint, oil ,greese,never sieze, all replaced parts..yeh, i totally agree with you, fix it cheap, or junk it.or sell it. its rarish, so youll never lose on it. im in aus, i have 5 u.s. vehicles, seems im in the wrong country,,eh..great vids..👍
@@DieselCreek if you have any vibrating machines,,put half bucket stones in tank for 5 mins, if they dont wear thru, then its o.k. but, with all that rust,,id be opting for a new one.
Me and my buddy Kubota turbo diesel swapped our old jeeps recently. We are local to you as well. Let me know if you need any info or want to see how they rip before you do the swap. You can keep your factory trans and tcase as well.
Parts will always be around for those, I've seen a van converted, was perfect for getting around
Would you be able to do it on a 2000 jeep cherokee?
Out of curiousity, what are the engine data of the Kubota's you use? Everything would be better than that F-head
@@erik_dk842 V2203 or V2403 Engines, 4 cyl all mechanical only wire needed is the starter. All the power you could want in a 2000# jeep. I have mine in an ex Korean war Era military Jeep.
Great engines used on almost every 3/4 cylinder marine generator as well.
I had a 59 for a while, i got as a basket case. The seat i had done locally. I cut out part of tbe fender well so i could get the seat done normally instead of canvas. I also used a trick i learned from a friend, i put a piece of chain in the fuel tank when i was cleaning it. Great tip on that head bolt under the carb.
Thanks Matt Hastings
it is really amazing how fast you work when the music starts playing. I wish I could do that.
I love the look of that old jeep and I really love the sound of her engine! So much fun! You’ll get there with her, and she’s worth the effort!
to bad he is contemplating putting a stupid vw diesel in it that would cause it to lose that unique sound it currently has
Good to see older vehicles saved and put back into service, thanks for another video.
Had neat Jeep for you. 1948 Willeys Overland. Went in my brother's estate auction to a fellow who already had a CJ, pickup and wagon. Now he has the complete set.
I was about to comment what a tease you are for letting us hear the contruction in the back ground until you drove thru the new shop :P Love that old jeep... I NEED it!
Matt, is there a reason that you didn’t use some sealant on the head gasket? It might have been a good idea since there are some irregularities at the suspected area. Also a tip I got from some knowledgeable techs was to use a thin film of grease on the gasket. As you torque the bolts , it will allow the gasket to “slide into place” as it is being compressed. Just a little FYI.
Always a great Sunday morning with a cup of coffee, a donut, and your video. 👍thanks.
it depends on the gasket type (or material rather) whether you need to use sealant, or should. In some cases you can make things worse by using sealant, especially if the gasket is not designed for it.
I love hearing the guys in background working on that barn! Cant wait for the foundation/slab to come in!!! hope you document that very well! :D keep up the good vids man, love from denmark!
Looking forward to this Jeep being back on the road.. Keep up the great work.
I have a nearly identical jeep I spent 10 years rebuilding back to new, all the way down to the exact same color. It brings back lots of memories watching your video. Mine was built in Toledo on either the second or third week of December in 1964 according to vin #'s tracing I found online a long time ago. I rebuilt mine for car shows and weekend drives. Just fyi, the original radiator was bad in mine also.
Love your videos Matt,i am confident all your issues with the jeep will be rectified and what a sweet ride..thanks for sharing and stay safe.
I appreciate your expertise on solving problems and exploring the many projects with you. very entertaining and your patience is extraordinary!
Awesome jeep, hoping to get the 1955 willys cj5 i picked up fixed up and put on the road next year. Thanks for the great videos, and congrats on 500k Matt!
Love this series video are never unsatisfactory Matt
Good coat of spray on copper coat would seal up all those irregularities perfectly, its a 50hp engine and i doubt you can do something wrong putting it together to cause any issues other than valve adjustments lol. Dang i see you stepped up to the big red power tools
man this video was awesome! glad to see it's running so well and only a few more things seem to need fixing! I'm learning lots here too, thanks Matt for another great video!
Congratulations on 500k subs you deserve it all and more! 🎉
Back in the day when driving any Jeep down the road everyone that had one would Wave which was so fun to do. I haven't owned a CJ on over 30 years now yet i still remember it like I just got back home in mine. You're likely going to experience the same thing today from anyone driving one down the road. Have fun 😊.
I want to let you know, I admire your skills 👌. Brings back memories, just awesome
No disappointment here! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
This video brought back memories of working with my uncles on the farm. Rebuilt my first carb on a tailgate.
Be prepared to replace brake lines, wheel cylinders and master cylinder when tackling the brake system. Don’t go cheap.
yeah a GM alternator swap petromax ignition a roll bar seats and wagon wheels wood dress that ol gal up
That was very very special to my heart it really made me feel lucky to be here cuz I've been in a crash and it wasn't good but I'm very lucky to be here and be with my family thank you so much for the video and like I said you are some great people
Nothing at all disappointing about this video. Terrific work and great to watch you do it. Thanks as always Matt. 😊👍👍
I really enjoy the wrenching, especially bring the old back to life. Thanks for doing what you do.
I remember rebuilding my F-head back in the 80s. I had a water leak and pressure getting into the cooling system and found that I had a slight divit between the cylinders on the block. Well, I was young and didn't have a lot of extra money for the project so I cleaned the top of the block off really well where this was and used some JB Weld to fill in the depression. That worked just fine for years! I miss my old '65 CJ!
The sound of the engine took me back to my childhood in1950's. Sorry to see the rad was spitting out coolant. Keep going with it Mat. 🇭🇲🧙♂️
