This makes me smile every time I hear one of these old girls wake up and start living. Makes me feel good to know there's guys like you who can give these old cars and trucks a second chance of living.
Came here to write just that, agree completely. If things turn out right, I'll get to do this to a 39 Chevy ton and a half in a few months. However it's just been sitting for 35 years, so basically just parked!
Little bit of automatic transmission fluid and acetone, diesel, penetrating fluid. Then we set it all on fire, short the starter with a universal key and we're good to go.
I’ll be 80 in a couple weeks and I enjoy seeing the past come back to life.. You must be a true Christian because of the great Patience you show.. Great video.. I’m subscribed..
RIGHT??? Yeah, me too. I was actually Smiling for the kid BIG TIME when he got her chugging along like a champ ------- Amazing how happy his accomplishment made me. But you could just TELL by looking at the engine / block & the WAY it was moving.... it was in real good shape. Just nice it might be coming to Life again.
@@chevy6794 I have tried that in the past even the old gear reduction drills don’t have enough power to turn it over the hand crank gives you a ton of leverage
Probably one of the best channels on UA-cam. No one being loud and obnoxious, just a good, funny dude working on old cars. Thank you for all the great videos. I never miss one!
The MAN that walks by an old truck and says, "I'm going to get old girl running or die trying," AND means exactly that is as RARE as this ole truck. There's NO GIVE UP in you and so I tip my hat to you, SUBSCRIBED and HONORED to be here.
Your honest hard work and determination makes it a real delight to watch you resurrect these old vehicles. The fact that you don't say stupid silly things, throw batteries, or otherwise act like a clown makes it all the better. This one I particularly enjoyed. Keep up the good work.
Outside of the remark about throwing batteries (seems like a reference to a good ol' boy named Dereck out of Vice Grip Garage, who, in my opinion is the best I've come across) I agree with ya.
I can see the need the toss a battery in certain circumstances, but tossing it for humor gets old. Dereck is very good, especially when he focuses on teaching.
I'd say do minimal cosmetic work. Make it structurally sound and stabilize the rust with some linseed shine juice. Of course get it mechanically fixed up making it reliable and somewhat safer but it can only ever look this way once. Getting it back to new or show winning perfection is more in the wheelhouse of someone like Jay Leno who has limitless resources
A big hello from a subscriber in England. I loved the video not just because you coaxed an ancient beast of a motor back to life, but also how you spoke to it like it was a cantankerous old lady that just needed a little love and attention. It amazes me how we both speak the same language yet our dialects are so vastly different “this’un” really made me smile we never hear that in the U.K. Thanks for all your hard work your videos are great to watch. 👍👍👍
I instantly remarked that MY FATHER was born 10 years *_After_* this truck was made. He hasn't passed-on yet, but he's had 3 heart attacks & 7 strokes ...... _But I'm pritty sure Satan doesn't _*_WANT_*_ Him down there_ (he'd be competition)
Man im so totally amazed on how you are able to get these dead to the bone vehicles,and you breathe life back into them. It just shows how much passion you have for them keep them going 👍🔧
Great job! Actually quite incredible how well built these older vehicles are. I couldn't imagine a 2014 Chevy Impala sitting for 80 years and trying to start it.
They also made cheap junk aplenty back then. But all the cheap junk is long gone to a junkyard or landfill. So only the quality stuff reaches us today.
I have to congratulate you. You are the very first person who got an old engine going and didn't rev the guts out of it. That's called " respecting old age ". Good on ya mate. So many bloke's start them and rev the guts out of them. I makes you feel good to get the heart pumping again. From Australia.
I used to worry when it took 30 pulls to start my Honda lawnmower. But that engine w the huge cylinders demanded you eat your Wheaties ! Plus I wonder if he was thinking whether the timing was right and maybe'd never start...
I know that a lot of you good Americans like our British accents, and we appreciate the compliment, however, the gentleman working on the Mack has one of the sweetest American accents I've heard, he sounds like Trip Tucker from Star Trek Enterprise. His enthusiastic drawl is both entertaining and compulsive to the listener. A very good video, Best regards Us lot over the pond.
There is nothing more satisfying then getting something running and listening to it. My dad and I spent more time than i can say. He's been gone now for sometime. This had me hearing his voice again.
I was going to start this comment with something like this is one of my favorite videos. Which is true though I don’t want my reaction to be misconstrued. That last segment cranking on the hand crank behind the bumper without any good leverage points was brutal. That said this has the making of one of the coolest revivals ever. A 1920’s Mack truck is something else man I tell you what. If this ends up being a full restoration I will buy a hat that can be properly doffed, make no mistake it sure as hell would be earned.
@@Dumb_Furry_UwUeh, as long as you’re smart and keep your distance he’s good, plus the spray back isn’t spraying at as high of a pressure as what’s coming out of the nozzle.
And he'd soak that towel with acetone, PB Blaster and anything else we can put in there, use it to soak the rust and junk, then for good measure use it again to wipe away the schmoo on the outside of the engine as it's chugging away for the first time since Lewis and Clark drove it across the Continental Divide.
I know nothing about cars, especially old ones. I’m not really interested in cars nor do even pay much attention to cars of any sort or age. But listening to this guy talk about this truck and coax her back from the dead, breathing life into her with his effort and desire, I was mesmerized. This is what I imagine it was like listening to the drivers/mechanics in the early days of NASCAR down south. Then he gives the same line as the used car salesman in the original Road House movie, “She’s a runner!”
You are the best. You take on the oldest vehicles on UA-cam, and almost never fail. There is just something so satisfying about watching 100 year old vehicles come back to life.
You're the kinda guy with dogged determination that's got us here today. We have a 1930 International Harvester truck on our ranch in Victoria, Texas I now want to tinker with thank you
I can only imagine all the hard work folks put that bad boy through when it was new and the motor still runs . Yes please keep showing us the whole process to get it completely restored.
i just do not get tired of watching you bring these old vehicles back to life. in fact, this was one of your best videos yet. we of course get to see the super condensed version of what obviously takes you days and weeks to accomplish but it really is exciting and entertaining and enjoyable. i wish you all the best and please keep up the great work.
Best "Back from the grave" video I've ever seen. This is how schools should be.... People with mad skills passing on knowledge to future generations...
I had to watch this one again. I'm surprised he hasn't built a hand held electric starter to crank these old hand crank starting engines. That couldn't be to hard. Of course, he's probably close to have my age, and has the energy to hand crank for hours at a time. I love this stuff. Thanks again!
Dear Mr. Motorsports, Thank you for all of your efforts getting this truck running. You earned every view. That may be the most physical effort I've seen in a "will it run". Good on you!

I hereby award you the golden tongue wrench award .I love old machinery how simple and tough they were you could rebuild em. On the side of the road. The closer you got to starting her I was cheering for you.if anybody from mack company saw this video send the man $10000. Dollars
If I had the money to pay him for the restoration... I would absolutely love to have this truck after it's fully restored. But, I'm pretty much a church mouse looking from the outside in, scratching for crumbs. But I still enjoy watching him resurrect these neat vintage vehicles!!!
You have some tenacity. Never say die. That engine was built to last, and built to keep working, not like the flimsy stuff we have now. Top work young man.
That’s just how older stuff was made, built to last. Nowadays stuff is weaker because companies want to make more money, and what better way to do that then to make customers buy replacements after the previous one breaks?
I am not a mechanic nor even a Novice, but these videos not only kinda makes me want to be a Mechanic, but they are some of the most awesome videos to watch! Thanks for the lessons and entertainment!
Absolutely AWESOME will it run, you must have been real sore after all that cranking 😵 great to hear the old girl running again after all that time, music to all our ears 😀👍👍
Ahhh, this was a cool video. Nice to see a young guy take an interest in history, because that's what you're dealing with here Automotive History! What a great truck. You get it running and back on the jobsite everyone that sees this truck is going to think you are the coolest and you are! Dude you are the MAN! You are doing God's work here; get this old Mack truck running down the road!
Damn, I've been watching for several years now and like you said, this one was the toughest. But that didn't stop you. I don't think anyone else on the planet would have even tried. You're definitely "the engine whisperer".
You worked really hard on this one.... but you did it again!! You're a wizard Mr. Jennings! You have just crank started a 1926 Mack truck !! In two years it will be 100 years old and she sounds smoooooth! Great video! Thank you!
It always amazes me when I see these vehicles so aged up, dirt and all. But then - when you get to see the interior, the good ol insides of the engine, just specking clean. Just awes me.
What beautiful sound the old girl makes . Would love to see some sponsors to help him with his supplies. If there was a way to donate i would in a heartbeat
Unbelievable determination and grit to get the old girl running!!!especially after so many years.That engine struggling to start reminded me of trying to throw off the anesthetic after my bypasses surgery looking foward to more vidio's on this Mac truck. Thanks 😊
I guess she wanted you to get a work out, lol. She definitely made you work for it. This one was really cool. I could actually hear it as each cylinder came back to life. This one was good save for what has to be a pretty rare truck. I hope you keep your promise and restore this one.
I've watched a lot of "Will it run" videos on UA-cam and your southern drawl is really nice to listen to, you're also a pretty sharp mechanic who clearly knows what he's doing. Great video!
The sound of all 4 cylinders chuffing back to life gives hope. Suddenly those horrible running boards are just bent metal that can be fixed, missing parts to be sourced or fabricated... there isn't much to the truck and you get optimistic. Well done.
I definely wanna see one day this thing gets restored back to life, would be awesome to see it running again on the road. I'm not a huge car specialist but iwhat I think is that if the engine works fine, the rest will just be as easy to get it back running.
I have to say I love this guys accent! is it Tennessee? it's funny, quirky, interesting! Nearly forgot...excellent mechanic and a great video too! Best wishes from England.
Man the best thing about these is the simplicity of these old engines. I love how they are so bare-bones and down to basics compared to modern crap. Makes them a joy to work on in a way.
My friend liked to resurrect old farm equipment,....he'd locate farmer's who'd have ancient motorized tractors, that were sunk deep into a peat bog. He saved and restored a 1920s CASE dozer, and a 1900s portable sawmill, that ran off either a steam engine power train, or a gasoline powered one. He lived down in southern Ohio, was a welder, and could fix just about anything. He wasn't from that area. He grew up in NYC.
boy do I like the way you talk as you work.... great accent.... you dont give up and she is a beauty... i hope to see how you restore the whole truck. great job, very very entertaining..... keep it up! from Italy...
I'm not sure what's fascinates me more: his hilarious accent or his incredible talent of keeping his fingers clean as a surgeon all the time 😂😂😜 great stuff!!!
This makes me smile every time I hear one of these old girls wake up and start living. Makes me feel good to know there's guys like you who can give these old cars and trucks a second chance of living.
Love you guys
Some of them sure put up a fight and seem to have gotten use to being retired.

Could a impact drive be modified to use as a starter,like the drag cars.

How you can work so long and hard without cursing....is amazing to me! You should win an award for your perseverance.
When you hear the sound of an old engine start up for the first time in around 80 plus years, it's about one of the best sound ever.

Another one is hearing the beer open afterwards.
I don't know much but when he said the engine size I was thinking man that 1920's monster. I got to hear that. Boy that'll sound nice.
[38:01] And you know it's summertime when you start hearing the mating calls of a few male grey tree frogs in the background.
Having to go back in my geezer memory but I think it sounds like an old Massey-Ferguson tractor.

Will always appreciate a program that takes me away from the chaos of the world & Jennings does it perfect!👌

You worked really hard on this one.... but you did it again!! You're a wizard Mr. Jennings! You have just crank started a 1926 Mack truck !! In two years it will be 100 years old and she sounds smoooooth! Great video! Thank you!
It always amazes me when I see these vehicles so aged up, dirt and all. But then - when you get to see the interior, the good ol insides of the engine, just specking clean. Just awes me.
What beautiful sound the old girl makes . Would love to see some sponsors to help him with his supplies. If there was a way to donate i would in a heartbeat
It's got to be a good feeling to listen to that engine run after all that time it's been sitting and after all your hard work. Great job!!!
My uncle would have loved this, he was a big shot at Mack. This is dedication, you were determined to get it running and you have.
Old Bulldogs never die. They just look that way.
Thanks for doing that and sharing it with us!
Unbelievable determination and grit to get the old girl running!!!especially after so many years.That engine struggling to start reminded me of trying to throw off the anesthetic after my bypasses surgery looking foward to more vidio's on this Mac truck. Thanks 😊
You’re bringing the soul of America back to life Man! 👍
this is awesome. I love old stuff, hearing that old engine breathe again after who knows how long just puts a smile on my face
I have watched every single video this man has put out
Back in the 70s my brother built a model of that very Mack ! Nice to see it run !
I love the American 'Can Do " attitude.
I guess she wanted you to get a work out, lol. She definitely made you work for it. This one was really cool. I could actually hear it as each cylinder came back to life. This one was good save for what has to be a pretty rare truck. I hope you keep your promise and restore this one.
This should have a show and sponsors at this point. Man this makes me smile.
PB Blaster should at least send him a couple a cases.
@@robj2704 He uses a case of PB on each engine. Give this man a truckload or three.
OMG.... It's like Jethro Clampett came to life!! Your perseverance and enthusiasm have been rewarded!!! So many next steps!!❤
I'm never going to be used to seeing a block of rust open up to reveal almost pristine innards. Crazy yo.
That was crazy cool
its like cracking geodes, ugly af rock hiding a amethyst structure inside is amazing
It's like that one dude who you think is broke but you find out he has over 6 figures in his savings account
I watch you crank it over and hope you have your thumb up in case it backfires. Very good show!!!
Yes the sound of those giant cylenders amazing filled me with joy and a big smile for all your hard won work.
I've watched a lot of "Will it run" videos on UA-cam and your southern drawl is really nice to listen to, you're also a pretty sharp mechanic who clearly knows what he's doing. Great video!
The sound of all 4 cylinders chuffing back to life gives hope. Suddenly those horrible running boards are just bent metal that can be fixed, missing parts to be sourced or fabricated... there isn't much to the truck and you get optimistic.
Well done.
I definely wanna see one day this thing gets restored back to life, would be awesome to see it running again on the road. I'm not a huge car specialist but iwhat I think is that if the engine works fine, the rest will just be as easy to get it back running.
I love seeing these old relics come back to life!
I have to say I love this guys accent! is it Tennessee? it's funny, quirky, interesting!
Nearly forgot...excellent mechanic and a great video too!
Best wishes from England.
Kudos!!!! That was a lot of hard arm and shoulder work. Wow!!! You're awesome, sir!
Thig guy has to be the king perseverance & optimism! 😎👍
Man, I'm glad you had enough "ugga duggas" to get it started because it sounded great!
Hats off to this guy what determination. Well done mate from Australia
I love how you stay positive it seems no matter what. Thats a hell of a trait ya got there. I would have been cussin the whole time.
And never a swear word to be heard…wonderful.
Man the best thing about these is the simplicity of these old engines. I love how they are so bare-bones and down to basics compared to modern crap. Makes them a joy to work on in a way.
That because the feds weren't in the auto design business back then!
Thank the EPA and stupid pussy safety crap for us not having good trucks anymore
Would switch to Dewalt or Makita impact wrench to crank over engine. Amazing it survived the WWII scrap drive.
We really appreciate you going the extra mile in getting these thing running
My friend liked to resurrect old farm equipment,....he'd locate farmer's who'd have ancient motorized tractors, that were sunk deep into a peat bog. He saved and restored a 1920s CASE dozer, and a 1900s portable sawmill, that ran off either a steam engine power train, or a gasoline powered one. He lived down in southern Ohio, was a welder, and could fix just about anything. He wasn't from that area. He grew up in NYC.
boy do I like the way you talk as you work.... great accent.... you dont give up and she is a beauty... i hope to see how you restore the whole truck. great job, very very entertaining..... keep it up! from Italy...
It is great to see these older viehicles coming back to life.
PB Blaster should be a sponsor since you're their biggest customer . You go through more PB Blaster than Joe does diapers .
You need to do a video on where you found and retrieving these gems
UA-cam doesn't pay you enough for doing this!! Excellent!!
I'm not sure what's fascinates me more: his hilarious accent or his incredible talent of keeping his fingers clean as a surgeon all the time 😂😂😜 great stuff!!!
