If the favorite part of your day is finally getting out in the shop and wrenching on some old rusty project, then you're my kinda' people and should give my channel a click.

I collect cool old projects from the 60's, '70's, and '80's... I prefer '70's-era stuff.
Auctions, Facebook Marketplace, and garage sales are my hunting grounds!!

This is not a high-dollar operation. All my stuff is cheap or I just don't buy it.

Lets learn together how to fix up old machines and save 'em from the wrecker!!
Your participation by offering helpful advice in the Comments section would be really neat!!

Cheers, from Ontario!!

    Glad to see someone correctly shitting down the mower… always drop the throttle to lowest setting before shitting off. You will do the engine a favor instead of suddenly shutting off in high gear

    Thanks for the video. Your info was helpful in identifying the one I just bought. Mine is a 1961 Crestliner Mustang model 2051. It has the "brows" on the dashboard and the stern compartment is open (without the shelf) . There's a small plate on the transom with the numbers "2051" and "9617 H" on it. Mine had a 40hp on it that was replaced in 1990 with a Honda 40hp that I may or may not be able to get running again.

    you probably already know this but if you deflate your tire before putting your chains on then inflate them and chains will be supper tight and never spin

    I never saw you wedge the front axle as they normally slump sideways, as they pivot, when separating from the rear. I thought that the clutch was already set up for the second stage. Just plug and play. Also I’ve got the same tractor and a very similar loader. I had to take mine off as the steering was soooo heavy.

I thought it was called a something "max" but i'm a little foggy right now, so i could be wrong.

    I was going to make a separate channel for this project, but the KZread algorithm was crushing my itty-bitty feelings by not promoting the channel hardly at all. So I've been slowly bringing them back here to my main channel... hence the "season" laps. Parts are ridiculously priced these days.. and the bone yards up here have nothing. Stay tuned though.. I found a 3rd car ;)

    I’ve been die hard Toyota/Kubota since a young kid my grandpa had the old school (new back then) Toyota 4x4 pickup and Kubota 4x4 tractor. This was back in the mid 80s and one of my cousins still uses that Kubota tractor and old school Toyota 4x4 are known to be the ultimate off road machine indestructible!! I now own 1 and it took me forever to find a good one. 1990 Toyota 4x4 pickup 22RE and a 88 Kubota L2850DT 4x4. Both will serve me well to I’m in the ground.

    That's a cool 73 GTO my old man had a 1973 Lemans it was his first brand new car off the car lot I grew up in that thing then he had a 1974 Lemans GT it had everything like the 73 GTO the louvered side windows the fake hood scoops with bucket seats and console shift it was red with red and white interior but it come with a 350 until he put a 455 in it out of a 73 Grand Am that was rotted out but the engine was rebuilt with a big cam. It was a blast of a car to drive after that. I got to drive it as a teen until he decided he was too old for cars like that and sold it and he sold his 73 too so that was the end of the Pontiac Lemans cars.
