cody loves his jacks so much he named his son after them lol
Asshat
Jackass?
Lmao!!
Love this series! Reminds me of your older videos. Which is what got me here in the first place. Ive been a sub for 8ish years. Keep up the good work
Nothing like having your torch right next to 9 gas cans!
I loved that too.
Reminded me of Red Green...and using the torch on the farm.
ON a wobbly stand!!!
Ahh itle be right if it wasn't there wouldn't be a farm left standing they would all be burned to the ground cause most farms I been to and worked on are like this
Lmaoo
Cody you have inspired me for years and we finally took the first step to be who I want to be. We just got 3 acres and a modest home just outside Portland. The part I missed was how many tools and items I need to work smarter and not harder. The little toolbox I carried around from apartment to townhouse and raising two little girls on my own just wont cut it out here on the farm. I don't have much as we grew up very poor but I have heart, love and joy. And this place makes me happy. You are lucky to have so many hand me downs. I am using these videos to see what I need and I appreciate your knowledge. This is going to make yard selling so much more fun.
I didnt have nearly as many hand me downs as him either but it doesn't matter. Tons of people are selling tools dirt cheap at garage sales, flea markets etc. Furthermore, I've done jobs for people here and there and gotten tools as payment if say, the owners husband had died and she still had all his tools. Learn what to look for, and learn how to spot great tools hidden under the dirt and rust. Wranglerstar has plenty of videos on how to do this so start digging! Good luck!
That is the plan
Jake C speaks the truth. Once helped a guy build a coral. Took five hours. What he gave me was worth almost $ 300. That was in 1988 and long before the internet. You can now find anything you need online or on the cell phone. Think before buying, get the best quality for the lowest prince and enjoy the ride. It was 60 years when my bit of haven came down. Also look for the three books, "The Tightwad Gazette". Those short stories will save you thousands. Best of luck to you and yours.
I'm right behind you
You would be amazed at how fast you can collect. I have found on the side of the road so many useful tools without issues
This video is great! Im slowly building up my tool collection and I love finding old tools and fixing them. Your videos are Very inspiring and helpful keep the great work up! I always enjoy watching your stuff!
Your stories of your grandfather remind me a lot of my own. He's been a carpenter, truck driver, and just a great handyman and always taken care of everything around their property. He's 87 now and still does very well for his age, keeping a wood stove and working around the house nearly every day and also does things for grandma all the time as well. She recently stopped driving a few years back. These stories of your remind me I need to cherish my grandparents more than I sometimes do or want to do. Thanks Cody.
My dad had a great idea, He had a Morton building with steel beams. He took a triangle frame with a hinge and welded it to one of the beams. He put a piece of flat iron on top of the frame and hung all his chains from the flat iron on the top of the frame and then swung it toward the wall so it wasn't sticking out into the shop where someone could walk into it. The bottom of the brace ran down the beam about 4 feet from the top of the flat iron because he had a lot of chains living on the farm!
2 yrs ago, you were organizing your new wood shop, and inspired me to re-organize my barn. I did pretty well until it came to the tool shop and its still a mess! I hope to get back to working on the areas where I stalled this winter. I have a come a long that needs repaired, and a pile of chains that probably need work. The area I did get put together for the chainsaws have saved us a lot of time hunting too. This series is very helpful!! Thanks!
I am enjoying this series so much really like it when you have the shop videos helps us younger guys set stuff up that works. Thank you!
Appreciate this video and overall encouragement to get organized and fix/finish things that have been left undone. I keep thinking back to your challenge to be a good steward of the things you have been given. Thanks!
I stumbled across this video because Im researching hydraulic jack maintenance. I got a motorcycle hydraulic, lift jack, from a buddy that doesnt hold pressure. So anyway, I learned how to bleed and fill, and then ended up here. You made me think alot, just now. My father has so many jacks and lifts and comealongs and do-dads, that he doesnt know what works, or doesnt work anymore. Your part of a small group of people, that can appreciate things like that. People that are fixers and doers, are becoming scarce !
Every so often. you have to drag out your stuff and assess what it is, where it is and its condition. Perform maintenance, repair or eliminate things as needed. The way you organized something before might not be the best way now. People change in their work methods and the type of work you do might change. Props to you for finally easing your mind on the clutter and chaos.
I'm in the middle of rearranging my work/hobby room to better suit my thoughts and methods now, since they are different than what they were when I set it up. Been watching vids like this for ideas and methods to help me. Thank you for taking the time to share. I have an old NAPA branded bottle jack I'm going to drag out and work on since you have put a bug in my ear about it.
Cody thank you so much. I have been a subscriber for a few years and have recently moved back to my family’s home in Montana. I got in tight spot and only had a 1 ton floor jack that wasn’t doing the job. I remembered my grandpa had a old bottle jack in the barn that wasn’t work. I than remembered your video. Got me out of a jam thanks!
Great video! Loctite bomb was hilarious and there's just something about fixing tools, it just feels great to win the battle with a stubborn tool :)
Great video, I've got a 20 ton that's froze up too, & I need to level a corner of my Grandmother's house, but didn't want to go buy a new one that I would rarely use. I picked up an old orange 2 ton floor jack that didn't work, put oil in it & it lasted 25 years, so I think I'll repair this old bottle jack too. New stuff is not very good quality anymore. Now repair my old Craftsman vise so I can work on the jack. Always something broke that needs fixing. Kudos to this informative video.
Well there's 18 minutes of my life that I will never get back, but I don't care because I enjoyed this video a bunch.
I spent 5"51 seconds. Laurel and Hardy is what I saw.
These videos couldn’t have came at a better time. I just bought a place and am getting my shop all set up I appreciate what you do.
Cody, glad you turned the rose bud away from the ox\propane tanks and gas cans! Consider moving the fuel away from your hot works station!!
My welding teacher used to say " A before O or up you go!" I'll never forget him telling that all the time at us kids.
Well if you have long gotten rid of those spark plug cars, why not show us viewers making one ? :))
Igor Dzuro be a great video full of Granddad stories
When you heat something up , heat expands, (enlarges) and when you cool something down ,(cool contracts).You heated the wrong part up,however, in your defence ,if you'd heated the piston,the heat and the warmth of the piston would of likely had and effect on the seal on the piston and began to leak. when you put the release agent on the threaded part that you'd previously heated up hence cooling it down ,it began to turn, .however , we got there in the end and another mission successfully executed, To infinity and beyond. Good on you mate, keep at it!
Heated the wrong part as already stated. Would have been better to use the pipe wrench on the head of the extension pin. May want to find a different location to store your fuel cans. Forge on!
I’ve loved these types of wranglerstar videos for years..so good!
Thanks for making this series, it's inspiring me to clean up my apartment(which looks like a warzone). Great video as always!
every time I watch one of your shop organizing and downsizing videos I go out to my shop and try to get a little more organized. Great content and great insperation
For your antisieze, mix a little engine oil in it to thin it a bit. Over time it tends to dry a little anyway. I removed the brush that's attached to the lid and I use an acid brush with a longer handle. Less messy and easier to use. I taped a small section of plastic tube to the outside of the container for the brush to sit in.
I have several hyd jacks too, they're useful in many sizes
Im really liking this style of video, it reminds me of the old days of this channel. Keep up the good work Cody!
Cody you have inspired me to go and sort out my workshop
God bless you and family
Acetone and your choice of a penetrating oil or fluid mixture has been working great for me
A jack that you might want to add to your collection is a hydrophilic toe jack or low clearance jack. They are similar to a bottle jack but have a dogleg bracket that can get under things like a toe would.
Glad the tip of the inner tire tubing (from me and others) helped with gripping the jack properly. Never trow old inner tubes away cause they come in handy with all kinds of odd jobs, although do throw or give away some if you have too much.
Great video as always! I am sure that area under your bench now being so organized is such a moral booster when you walk into the shop now!
Great vid, the bike tube and that crazy thread antisieze is a damn good idea.
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched in a while. Nice to see a on topic title and video.
Great VIDEO and excellent message.
Stoked for this series 👌🏾
Been looking forward to this fix! Satisfying getting it loose. I love antiseize - didn't know about the copper. Thanks
Copper is high temp anti seize, and the silver stuff he had contains nickel for use with alloys such as stainless and aluminum, good for those pesky stuck spark plugs in the Ford modular motors
The ideal is to heat up the outer sleeve so it expands not the inner screw so it gets tighter
so u know you cant heat outer sleeve it has rubber o rings if they melt it will leak and become a paper weight
@@thejunkguys4712 I was thinking the same thing.
@@thejunkguys4712 You make a good point. But heating up the inner sleeve will transfer somewhat to the other one, at which point you can squirt the inner one with water, causing it to contract, and hopefully break the offending sleeve loose.
I’m really liking this series!!
Glad you got it working again!
Love this new series.
I like this series! Keep them coming!
Build a few with Jack! What a great opportunity to have some carefree fun with the boy!
Love all your videos. You have gotten me into Filson outerwear and cant wait to break in my new jacket. Thank you for everything you do. Merry Christmas to you and your family
An interesting and fun video. This one is one of those "I'm in the shop with Cody and we're working together" videos. Thanks.
Wow! That's awesome! Good work.
Toyota manufacturers certain bottles jacks for some of their models of cars during a certain time period.
I had one from junk yard I paid $15 for.
The Toyota bottle jack had some kind of screw / thread interface which made it hard to use so I returned it.
If I had power tools, I would have done an idea like you using the 40mm socket or something to move the bottle jack up and down really fast.
Maybe I I’ll buy it again, get a speed wrench, and some sticks for spinning the circle twist system up and down.
Thanks for sharing the video.
The talks you give are the best part of your channel.
These fix up vids are fantastic
I love these videos please never stop these
Oh my gosh! The suspense was killing me! Lol! You remind me so much of my Dad. He was very tenacious and did not like to be conquered by anything mechanical or otherwise. Great job!
Love the "series" - keep it going!
LMAO! This was gold start to finish. Cody you must've had a blast making this one.
I would've added some rubber to the threaded end as well to prevent the marring, still it all worked out in the end.
WillieRants copper start to finish you mean.
I agree with William Jessop. The bike tube and penetrating oil were helping, but the heat on the threaded rod caused it to expand. Pretty sure it the loosening coincided with the center threaded rod cooling enough to contract. Heat on the outer tube would have helped loosen it, but it also would have likely damaged the o-rings. Thanks for the video!
I love this series please do the entire shop!
Love the channel just came across it fellow mechanic for over 25yrs
Great video. Can't wait to see the tractor in action again in the snow also.
Love this series!
I'm glad you got it working again. That was great.
You sir give me hope for the world. I learned something very simple but very new and I thank you
Always put just a tiny amount of silver anti-seize on spark plugs , especially in modern aluminum heads . I only have a small and large bottle jack , farm jack , floor jack and a motorcycle lift . When working by yourself it is amazing what you can get done with creative use of jacks . I do not have a tractor with lifting abilities , but my cherry picker has helped this one man show several times . The older I get , the smarter we must be to keep from wrecking our old bodies .
You're Rosebud stand that looks like a flywheel instead of a brake rotor👍
I thought it looked like a brake drum as opposed to a brake disc..
That's a flywheel.
Yep, it’s a flywheel
“Be sure it’s not backwards thread...” yeah it’s too bad you can’t see the threads.. or you would know 🤔🤨
haha yeah
The highwst form of intelligence
I’ve started putting every tool away every night even if I’m not done with the project yet. If I had a really frustrating day in the shop, it gives me some satisfaction to walk up to the house with and makes it easier to come back down the next day.
Excellent as usual!!!
Can you remove the screw extension top? I don't know anything about it. I am wanting to find a replacement or have one made at a machine shop. A friend borrowed mine and broke the top off.
Keep up the good work, you're an inspiration!
To solidly restrain tubular items such as your jack shaft without causing damage, I usually bore a hole (just oversize) in a block of hard timber then add a relief slot to one side of the hole. After this the block can be clamped solidly in the vice after the shaft to be clamped has been placed through the hole. This works every time and does zero damage to the shaft no matter how tightly the vice is closed. In fact you could have used two blocks for this job, one on the hydraulic shaft and another on the threaded portion. I know the lead screw thread still worked fine but it would have been much nicer to avoid causing any damage to it. I have used the above method to remove seized on drill chucks prior to repair without marking them at all. I hope this helps.
Great video! Really looking forward for the video in the series.
Used my idea :) glad it worked as that is a nice jack
Great video, your two fixing your floor jack in this video reminds me of your old shows which I really liked.👍🏼
Happy trails
Luke
Exactly what I needed!
A tip for future reference, next time you have a stubborn nut, bolt, or somthing threaded if you heat it red hot and then quench it in water(slowly pour a gallon) it works better than just heat more times than not.
You have to worry about the seals of the jack and I would be worried about stressing the metel by shocking it in water.
Instead of the penetrating oil you put on after it was hot,
Put on a piece of Beeswax!
The oil just flashes way
But the beeswax will melt and act as a penetrating oil and lubricant as well.
Afterwards use the anti sieze.
This is why I said future reference not necessarily on a jack, of course you have to worry about seals and what not , but I just mean as a general application for a stubborn nut, it's up to whoever to use common sense when trying
By heating the "internal" thread, you are expanding it. The heat may work, but it wound be better to expand the receptical side of the assembly. Now there is the fact that the ground portion has the seals in it, so a lot of heat will likely ruin the seals. The product Kroil acts to dissolve rust, and free up stuck and very stubborn parts. As a toolmaker, I've seen it work when noting else would. In the past I've suggested things, and you have have ignored my efforts, I was only trying to help. This may be the last time i even bother.
Big thumbs up on the Kroil. Been using all three of the Kano Koil spray's for years. Always works like you think it should!!!
Well, it seems that you've been ignored for another 2 years, so I guess you'll never ever bother again 😉. Its all rather sad really, except when you think that hundreds of people might have read your comments and retained that knowledge for future use. So it wasn't a total waste if your time hey!
I was about to comment the same thing. He heated the wrong side. Results are result though.
EXCELLENT organizational action philosophy.
I got a 50t bottle jack at a flea market last summer. It has two handles, a high speed to get the ram out and a low speed for doing the work. I'm working on making a press frame for it out of 5x8" I-beam.
The timing of this is perfect. Just brought home a bottle jack from work that was gonna be tossed!
"you just had to say loctite sent you the anti-seize ;)" jk Love the videos. Thank you!
keep the great content Cody! always love your videos! hope you jack and mrs w are having a good Christmas season and I wish all the best!
Tanks for share.your cool ideas...good job with the bottle jack...keep up.
My auto shop teacher love the silver stuff, put it on everything.:)
Looks like it's starting to get cold. Would love a video going over some of the changes you've made in the woodshop since you last brought us in there. That is, if you have made any changes you feel were important. Thanks for your videos!
You talked about jacking up the posts in your shop, I think that was the first video of yours that I watched. I’ve been looking for a good old floor jack for a LONG time. Always keeping my eyes open for a good deal
OUTSTANDING video, start to finish 👌🤠👍
Love the rosebud stand! Just a suggestion with the chains you do keep is to hang them if you can. And make sure there is some oil on them.
Congrats on the bottle jack. Garage is looking good so far. :)
I like how you can use Loctite for everything!😀 Great video
Thanks for some thoughts on what to do about my junked up shop!
outstanding work
2 things I wonder if he knows that his vice has a pipe gripe in it and a good bottle jack has the flat spots in it to help u turn them when they stick like that or are over extended
I was looking at that pipe vice the whole time as he was slipping around in the flat jaws.
You can make a better "pipe-vise" out of two blocks of wood that fit into the flat jaws. Simply drill an exact diameter hole so that half is removed from each block. Wood grips metal like nothing else imaginable, especially if slightly roughened with a wire brush to enhance the cellulose microstructure. Geckos grip smooth walls due to their micro-prints on their paw-pads which are nano-sized surface irregularities. Such a "pipe-vise" won't damage chrome finishes.
Those jacks man. They saved me more times that I can count. A very usefull tool.
It surprises me at how many mechanics don’t know about anti seize compound, truth is every mechanic/diy should have it on hand and using it.
Having fun in the shop. Awesome.
Thank you for the reminder.
I've recently made the decision to keep all of my bottle and floor jacks in my somewhat heated basement rather than my unheated garage. I have a hydraulic mechanics seat that no longer works properly because I tried to use it when it was frozen.
I have one bottle jack that I got for Christmas and I've used it so many times.
I like the shop series videos Thanks!
glad you got it. bottle jacks are great for projects
I really like this new mini-series.
Great video thanks for sharing
LOL!!! Loved the loctite bomber!!
I really love your videos bro. I get so excited everytime I see your videos and really loving your fixing stuff vids. I also loved that video were you got that knife from New Zealand, it was really entertaining and since I'm from New Zealand is made it better 😂
