    Uh, Nick, I’ve got a question.
    Nick, “I thought you might”
    Will my grandchildren get to watch your children get the Wagner running someday?

      We are tentatively looking at a April 2076 posting date for that video. All jokes aside, it is extremely frustrating for us too as we need to work together to do it and must have a good 2-3 winter months. Issue is 2020 we bought the fixer upper lake house and worked on that, 2021 leg arms broke his arm, 2022 we built a needed seed cleaner, and 2023 we are building homes. I have thought about doing one video just getting it running but I would hate to get started and then shut the project down only to pick it up months later.
      What do you guys think?

    We never threw anything away on the farm. We had 4 engines from a model T and A that were wrapped up in that old black plastic and my brothers wanted to take them to the salvage metal yard but I paid them what salvage metal was bringing and stored them for another 40 years. I sold each one of them for more than what a new complete performance engine would cost from Chevrolet X 4. Never sell scrap metal and call it twice loved.

    I’ve got a 1945 Ford murcury that was the families grain truck
    Was always in the shed and no one but my family ever owned it we hoped to get into and get it running removed tge heads and was pleasantly surprised to find everything minus tge radiator was in good shape
    Since the flat head engine is pretty easy to find parts for and once we ripped the sides of the grain box off to find a nice hard one deck to it thE plan was to turn it into a tool and service truck. I still can’t get over how simple those early engines are.

    Hey Nick & Scott; after watching your content - allot involving repairing, thought you might be interested in the ChemFree SmartWasher system. I've been using it for little over a year now and am very happy. The solvent is water based, has microbes which eat petroleum products, never needs changing, and is not toxic at all. The solvent is cheap, microbes are replenished with the Ozzymats, Ozzy Booster, or when adding more Ozzy Juice as it is water based and naturally evaporates. The washer is expensive, but a Harblrfreight washer can be modified for much less. The key to make the Ozzy Juice work is heat, maintain 110 degrees. I can go into more if you want. Good luck.

    The carburetor. A kit. The old kits and old carburetors. The plunger for the fuel inside were made out of leather. Then went to rubber. Then just tune up. I miss the old equipment. My two old 1970's pickups. In my young years. Working on them. I would crawl underneath the hood and work on the engine. I lost part of my hearing in doing so. Yet. From standing on the outside of the trucks. I would time the engine by ear. A timing gun was always off. Because of the timing chain and gears. The back fire out of the carburetor. Enjoy the old truck. It's amazing. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

    Love those dual exhausts underneath plus that truck is still there the body is in good shape it’s running and driving. Rare sharp old dodge hauler. They made cabovers and semis as well back in the old days. Older equipment is the way to go. This old machine was sitting. Don’t matter how long it’ll fire up and move. Change of gas or fluids guarantees it’ll stay running. Mainly oil change and fuel change is all! What a sweet old vehicle. I’d keep ‘em.

    Nick, just a thought here. Rather than dumping the seafoam in the carb, try this. Find a vacuum port to the intake, use some vacuum line and stick it in the can of Seafoam and let the engine vacuum slowly suck it in. Just like you did, let it sit after the bottle is empty for 10 min and then give it a go. You will get more product in that way and not risk hydro locking a cylinder. Hope it helps.

    A lot of people don't know how well seafoam, or similar product's really clean thing's up. Liquid molly and bg44k work well to. Many newer car's are direct gas injected, and the engine's get carboned up, and then they use oil. I use liquid molly or bg44k in my gas, and then i also use the engine flush when changing the oil because it cleans it up as well. The stuff i use in the oil is mild, because otherwise you could clog thing's up that come out like sludge. I bought a new car in 2019, and have used all this from the start to avoid the carbon build up. This old rig will be useful, and as obtaining running truck's like this become harder to obtain, it's good to get these old truck's running. I believe california, along with 15 or 16 other state's will be selling ev vehicle's only. Western truck and tractor work's in california, and oregon, but in california, they make you put a hole in the engine block so it can't be used. Warren said that if you know where to put the hole, the metal can be welded, and the engine will run fine. I guess where he lives in oregon doesn't have that law yet, so he has welded many steel block's. G-d bless, hope we get a house update from leg arm's.

      You are very right with the new cars and carbon build up, but you might be attacking it the wrong way. Using BG44 is great but adding it to your gas only cleans up the injectors and won't do anything for the carbon issues on the intake valves. If you can find a vacuum port to the intake, use some vacuum line and stick it in the can of BG or Seafoam and let the engine vacuum slowly suck it in. That will get to the intake and the intake valves that are the real problem of carbon build up in new gasoline direct inject (GDI) engines. Just wanted to offer a tip and I hope it helps.
