calmly does a bottom end job in like 5 minutes wonderful how you bring life back to these well-loved machines

40x60 seems to be a decent size with a loft. Check out what others have done and what the space looks like once they set the shop up. Figure a 10 foot area out from the exterior walls will give room for work benches, shelving and some room to walk for easy access to everything once you start using it. Lean-To off the sides could also be used to store larger items that should be kept under a roof but don't need to be in heated space. Will save you from opening your heated space every time you need property maintenance equipment. Should definitely go bigger to avoid severe growing pains. Lay out your work and storage areas and watch how quickly the space gets too cluttered to access things without having to move things out of the way.

Better go with the bigger shop. You'll be disappointed if you go smaller. Bigger is always better. Keep up the good work Joe

I really need to hand it to vintage guy because he works very hard and he is staying clean and sober

Great content Joe. We put up a pole barn in 1980. We went with 54’x76’ and 11’ side walls. We didn’t go higher because of the wind we get out here In Wyoming. We have not regretted the sacrifices we made at the time to go that size now I can’t image it being smaller. Keep up the great snow look forward to each one. Bob

We just got some terrible wind here in Colorado last night. Half of the Denver area lost power. WTF

Had a couple of these growing up as a kid , swear the thing was near indestructible! Good wee bike

I got a metal building put up for storage. It is 20x32. If I was working in it, it would be ½ of what I need. 4 bikes a quad and a 3 rail bike trailer(desert sun off the tires) and it is much tighter than expected. But huge relief on my garage. If you can afford bigger go bigger than you need.

If I didn't fix my bikes myself I would not be able to ride because nobody would help me! YOU MUST BE SUPERSTAR GENIUS!

Joe, are you doing the work on your shop yourself? If so, please please please do a series video on here! I would love to see the progress! When building a shop, keep in mind that nobody in the history of shop building has ever said that they wished they’d gone smaller. You can never go wrong with the bigger option.

Great way to start the morning, a cup of coffee and a new video. Keep up the great work and give ole Vinny a pet on the head from all of his loyal fans!

Go for the larger. If not you'll want more room in 2 years. Might consider keeping all dimensions a multiple of 4. Easier to buy materials with little waste. Great vid as always. I had never seen a SOHC.

when i lived in Kentucky I saw a lot of pole barns that had concrete and stone floor. They would poor concrete in the part they wanted as the shop, then have gravel in the are where they stored things like campers and boats. It will get you a bigger shop with less cost.

I enjoy your show for the family content because you share your wife and your dog and now you're fabulous land!

Buuut, did Vinnie give approval on the barn layout or bike repairs?? Joeeeee!!! Vinnie gonna red tag ya!!! 😜

Hate those metal head gaskets, got to torque the hell out of em to ensure any kind of functional seal. Usually, around 35 to 40 ft lbs.

Excited for you and the pole barn!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Looking forward to the build. Really happy for you. 👍

You've got to get yourself a parts washer. I usually clean the whole outside of an engine before disassembly, and after clean the insides in the parts washer.

Always go bigger than you think on a pole barn. Can always use extra space. And I'd suggest at least one 16' tall door, in case you want to get an RV/camper/enclosed trailer. It's one of those "you may not need it, but can't add it later" type deals.

Excellent content Joe. I am thinking use the complete floor space as your Garage/ Workshop/ Storage for Bikes. Then build your Home on top.

I enjoy your videos. What sets you apart from the rest, is the proper use of the Cresent wrench. Keep up your attention to detail. Great job.

Was really looking forward the 2nd part of the ttr125 great content as usual ! I am currently doing a top end on my 1969 ski doo olympic, its ton of fun working on these old machines

keep up the good work bro love your vids

Hi Joe. I built a 30x50x12 shop back in 2020 and do a lot of work just like you do. My concrete pad was 40x55 because I added a 10ft covered porch and also a 5ft walkway on the side. A couple of regrets, but I am very happy with it. I have 2 garage doors. I'll be happy to share photos if you would like to see the finished product.

I really enjoy watching each vid you put out, and always look forward to the next one. I know the mechanicals are more than skin deep, but would love to see you do a full restoration on one of your favorite bikes. I know aesthetics don't make it run better, unlike a lot of bike rebuilders, I appreciate your main concern is performance.

Great repair work, as always!

She sounds really good. Great video content. Very interesting and thorough. Thanks again for your time today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Awesome videos. I've gotten dozens of good tips watching you. Here's one back, it's so simple but literally life changing...read the pouring instructions on the oil jug. If you pour with the spout down the oil will glug as it sucks air. If the spout is at the top as you pour it can suck air and doesn't glug.

Make the slab longer so you can always extend the building. With the building longer is better than wider. 30' wide is good. 30' x 50' is more practical. Think about making part of the inside a loft with stairs. The other part with scissor trusses so you can have a car lift.

Go as big as you can afford on the building. You will never regret building it bigger….trust me!

Fantastic on dirk bikes fixing them up fella great work love watching how you build dirt bikes up and get them running again thanks for brilliant videos class👍🇬🇧

Joe, my garage is 30X40 and you will not regret the bigger size. I'm so happy to hear your moving forward with the project. Also a bit of advice, pay particular attention to where your man doors, garage doors, and windows will installed regarding weather, convenience, theft, heating, cooling, and etc. There is some good info out there on designing a layout. Educate yourself!

Really great work, Joe. Until I saw this upload I didn't realize what good little 4-strokes Yamaha has put out. I've owned a bunch of XR's and have a lot of faith in them. Perhaps if a Yam comes up for sale, I'll be looking at it.

How exciting. Can hardly wait to see what Tractor you get.

Great Job! As always, your patience and knowledge. Hopefully, the owner is a subscriber, if he'd taken to a shop, for that repair bill he could have bought a new Harley. Yippy, long overdue for a workshop/storage facility. Looking forward to following the progress

Great video - great channel! I am new to all this mechanic stuff, can someone tell me why you would use gasket-maker in some places and a paper (or other) gaskets in others?

Hi Joe, Love to watch your videos. You always seem to have such interesting situations when tearing into a machine. I thought I might mention that you might have made a mistake in placing the clutch plates in the basket. Each of the steel plates have a narrowed section with a hump. These humps are supposed to be clocked 90 degrees. I thought I saw you put them in all in the same direction. If left that way, I fear the clutch will eventually develop a chatter or some other issue. Can't wait until your next video.

Great video cool that you rebuilt the motor for a subscriber and shared with your followers. Thank you 40x60 size whatever you build you'll probably say I wish I would have made it bigger lol

Clutch pack looked pretty dry also. You’re a great mechanic man and have learned a lot from you. Just need to clean all your parts better and apply more lubrication which will prevent dry start and keep debris out of your fresh builds.

Make it as big as you can comfortably afford and a high as well, prices only ever go up lol. Thanks for sharing!

Great vid! Always enjoy your problem solving abilities! In terms of a tractor, I highly recommend a Bobcat mid size…. I have a Bobcat 4050. It has HST steering, 4WD, and a FEL. Depending on what you plant, you’ll need a disk harrow, 3 point tiller, spreader, mower, fork lift attachment and possibly a seeder. I found that the Bobcats (made by Kioti for Bobcat and assembled in NC) are absolutely the best value for money (vs. John Deere and Kuboto). Judging the size of your field, I would think no less than 50 HP would be what you should be looking for. Good luck!

I had a Mach1 Kawasaki 500. After it got 17,000 miles I could hear piston slap. After watching you I would now put new ones in and new rings. Now they are 100 dollars. Back then in the 70s they were 26 or 28 for the best. However you needed three, so with rings they still cost 100 dollars. It was just harder to get then. The thing had amazing power for then, I think 60hp. It would still only turn 105 to 108 top speed but pulling full throttle on a slight road hump would pop straight up and you were quick to throttle off. I remember riding the biggest Honda and that was all it would turn. The Honda 360 had amazing acceleration later.

Awesome can’t wait for summer with the big building

Joe great video. I have a Morton pole building. Mine is 36 by 54. I have 14 ft high ceiling. I wish I would have built it bigger. And everyone says if you build it bigger it will still fill up fast. LOL 😂😂. I did all the electrical and some of the insulation in the ceiling. I put OSB on my walls. I did have them put a metal ceiling in. I have two 10 by 10 garage doors. I have natural gas here now I have a furnace mounted up on the ceiling. I usually keep it around 65 in the winter time. In the summer if you can keep the doors shut. It stays around 65 to 70°. Even when it's about 80° to 90. If you have a Morton building representative. Where you live. I would talk to them. They are really nice people. It has a little pricey. But you can't beat their warranty. Good luck on your pole building. 👍

definitely have some content on building shop - should be fun - congrats - you have earned it, will make repairs go better, you should stay busy and get busier

For the tractor if you want a newer one I would get a Kabota or a Massey Ferguson If you want an older one I would stick with John Deere. Loving the vids!!

I got one of those for my kids second bike, up from the TTR90. His is the LE model(L-large wheel, E-electric start) it's no race bike but it's controllable, it's like a tractor....so easy for learning clutch.

When you're ready to farm I suggest getting a good used Zetor from around the 80's - 90's range. I bought one a year ago and love it, it's a 7245 form 1985. The Zetors are built extremely well in my opinion. If you do decide to get one, I would recommend 4 wheel drive, mine is and I love that feature. They can be kind of hard to come by in cases since they are from Czeck Slovakia. Either way good luck, and on the barn build the biggest one you can build. Great job on the bike, sounded mint.

Hi. I've put up 4 sheds. Haven't built one too big yet. Also, try to put in a 14' overhead door for trucks and equipment, a big deal for resale.

Great video Joe! Glad that little bike turned out well. 50 x 60 would work great, get a vehicle hoist installed in it & electricity ran to it. Gonna be some $$$ though.

Hey, great content,love the repairs (not a fan of bikes) what do you do with them when fixed? You should have put your truck in the square for context. Thanks.

Hi, The thin metal retainer that you bend up to lock a nut is named a "Plant Leg Washer" According to the US Navy.

I put up a 30x40 steel building and would have gone 40x60 if I could have fit it. I have a small pecan orchard and use a Kioti Compact NX6010 HST cab tractor. I use the tractor to shake the trees (PTO Tree Shaker), but it has all sorts of utility. I have the Front End Loader, Grapple, and forks. The cab is perfect because of air conditioning and I can imagine you would appreciate it using it in the winter. Finally, I went with Kioti because it comes with what you need. A Kubota/John Deer/(Or put any Tractor name here) has you purchasing mirrors, lights, quick coupler, and yada yada as options. It is a 60 HP Diesel tractor made in Korea and a sound machine.

My wife and i bought the TTR 125 for her and the TTR250 for me in 2001. New. They were fun to putt around on. Top end good. No low end power on the 250. I was disappointed in that. Good times on them for us anyway.

I am a building inspector and I see more people complaining about it being too small after it's up. Never had anyone saying it was too big. Stake out what you are putting in the building, a place for the boat and other things and a spot for Vinny

Wow Joe. It came to together better then I thought.

Nice bike. I learn a lot. Tankyou!

it sounds so weak when riding it, like a weed whacker . great job on rebuild, spot on.

I built a 30x40 last summer. I would definitely go bigger. I’ll be adding a lean to on mine this summer…

bigger is always better you can never have to much storage! ask if they have one that size or bigger they are wanting to get ride of? might get bigger for less great start cant wait to see the land projects come together!!!

I have to agree with the comment, if you have to buy a tractor planter and so on. That is a lot to store and maintain. I suggest if you want to plant something like alfalfa. Hire someone to come in and work the field and plant it and harvest it for you. You are not putting money out up front for all the machinery and all the time you spend doing it. You do not have to store or maintain the equipment. As for the pole building. Go bigger. When you build the shed, I would suggest in floor heating and separate it into zone heating. That way you can one side warmer if you want where you work on things. that section would have your office where you do all your research and also you will want some kind of water and drain for a sink to clean up and a drain where you can wash down equipment. If this is not your thought right now. It is cheaper to plum it in now then say I want that later and it will cost huge amount to put it in later.

I learned to ride on one of those bikes. Had ES and kickstart. Fun bike to ride and learn on

You will never regret going bigger on your shop build. Also, cash rent your land to a local farmer you will be money ahead rather than buying a tractor, field cultivator, planter, seed, fertilizer, herbicide, combine, grain wagon......(your time). Or put it to alfalfa and sell the hay to horse people (still need tractor, harrow, seed drill, swather, bailer, hay rack, building to store hay).

Greetings from Texas! I have heard ( and seen posts ) that the assembly lube will contaminate the oil and could affect the operation of a wet clutch. Have you seen this to be true? I use similar assembly lube on all my rebuilds and need to know if I'm letting go an issue to my consumers. I don't see how you get so much done in such a short time. I have a full time job as an IT manager and rebuild motorcycles and ATV's on the weekends. Your throughput is outstanding! Great content, keep them coming!

🤔Having worked in dentistry and chemistry, I clean and protect at every step. I remember buying a used Audi from a clock repair craftsman. Every part is cleaned ultrasonically, always wear protecting gloves (chemicals) and eyewear.

It was nice to see that you filled the oil pump cavity with oil and primed the pump by spinning it over before you started it.

Zero smoke and sounds good.

These are such solid engines used in the ybr125 Ridden by learners here in the uk, I owned one years ago and racked up over 30k trouble free miles on it,

Go the biggest workshop you can. The only regret you will have is if you don't. You deserve it and at this rate, will grow into it.

Re your pole building I would definitely go 40 by 50. Certainly an incremental cost but it eliminates regrets regarding not enough space latter. I just built a 35 x 40 and thought I was grossly overbuilding but when you start to add toys and “stuff” it gets small very fast. Additionally design so that you can add an open air lean-to roofing on either side. More storage space for stuff that is ok to get a little wet or snowy such as shrunk wrapped boats, or covered equipment. What are your plans for power and security. Your land seems to be on a very active road.

How do you keep so calm and give a running commentary, yeah ok I chat to customers while fixing boilers/catering equipment, but it’s nowhere near this complex

43:58 build what you want to see & make it work for you. you’ll find a way to fill it up & eventually figure out how to manage the space to suit your needs. new 2Vin facilities are exciting, so congrats Dude. I’ve managed multiple warehouses/distribution facilities in logistics & automotive mass production, and any/every new space is never enough…it’s not a negative, just logistics.

nice video -- i would build it big you can never have enough room -- wow so might be some farming videos coming up--nice -keep up the good work

I have a 40x60 and that a little small after you put a boat ,tractor ,zero-turn, few bikes ,,put half of it is my work shop ,,,you can alway grow into what you have

I put up a 40x64 pole shed 2 years ago 16 ft side walls for a loft with more storage. And pallet racking for sleds and jetskis etc. My concrete cost $9800 im in north central mn. 6-7 inches thick and i did the fiber mesh. No rebar.

For the size of the land I would get a barn type shed max size depending on budget, high roofing for fitting in tractors excavators skidsteer etc. I would recommend Kubota or yanmar tractors anything Japanese would last.

Older John Deere tractors are good Great video Joe!!!

My shop is 32 by 58 and was just large enough. By the time you add a lift or two and a few other tools like parts washer, drill press, hyd press etc you will run out of room pretty quickly. I still added a 40ft sea can for storage to the side of the shop too.

Something I wish I had in our shop were floor drains and a wash bay. Someone else build it before we owned it. Think it would be pretty easy to add before the slab was pored.

40x50 for sure!Plenty of bench space against the walls and equipment,with a huge open work space and plenty of room to store bikes,atvs and small utility trailer.

Awesome job as usual!!! I'm sure you know if you opened up a repair shop you'd be extremely successful with that and could still run this site!!!

Pole Building - you always end up needing more space and bigger gives you room to have lanes between areas for moving stuff around. 👍

What's the other 2? Do they rebuild dirt bikes?

Hopefully you weight your options when building, look into steel frames vs wood. Of course it all depends on what is widely available in your area.

another great video thank you

Amazing videos

Check with pole barn companies to see if any of their packages are of better value.

A 40'x60' shop is the perfect size in my opinion. It also makes it easier for ordering materials to build it. You may also want to think about building your walls tall enough to accommodate a 2 or 4 post car lift, if you ever decide to work on cars. With that size shop, you could also have a designated area to wash bikes. If that's something you'd want to be able to do in your shop, take it into consideration before you pour concrete. You can install floor drains for your "wash down" area. I'm only speaking from experience here, because I have a 24'x36' shop, and I ran out of room extremely fast.
