Keystone Truck & Tractor Museum Virtual Tour
Travel Tuesday? Join Rusty Rescues for a visit through the Keystone antique Truck and Tractor Museum in Colonial Heights, Virginia. The museum is sprawling and expansive! Each time you think you've seen it all, it opens into another room just as expansive as the previous one! So sit back and enjoy the tour without all the walking.

That's right down the road from me!
You could always get some earbuds and listen to whatever music you wanted while you're videoing.
Do you think there's going to be any more videos of this fordson? I really like where it's going.
Absolutely, life has been pretty crazy and this project needed to be put on pause. It will certainly be finished hopefully sooner than later as it's plugging the lift bay in my shop!
What a great recovery. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the progress on this.
Suggest putting an oiler like used for rockdrills, inline to lubricate the pistons on the steam engine when using air.
Looking forward to the grand reveal of the restored singer and table
What was once common is increasingly rare, it’s good some of these units are being saved and displayed for future generations to see hear and watch them work . Just as important the skills to maintain and operate are passed along or the machines will just become curiosities
That is a vacuum governor.
Thanks for the hands on how to, doing carb stuff on my "new" 1940 H. Maybe some C mag tune up too. Thanks for the education!
You're welcome! Hope it helps.
Electric fuel pumps are a simple fix but several times I've seen them over fuel and cause running issues and in one case wash the cylinders over time so the engine burned oil. Definitely a neat old truck, thanks for sharing with us.
Probably the BEST explination on installing a magneto I have seen on utube. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for the positive feedback.
Debris is more properly pronounced da-BREE.
Probably just as expensive as having a machine shop spray-weld that shift stem.....it would have to be turned to one diameter the length of the stem.....then built up with spray-weld.....then turned to dimension.... IF there was drawings available.✌
Thanks for posting
I have a 1944 B hand start and I've been through a lot of what you've done here so I appreciate the work you've done. To solve the ceiling problem, the easiest thing is a 90 degree elbow on top of the muffler. Or at least that has worked well for me. Also I'm thinking Welch plugs are the convex sheet metal disks. The plugs on the carb are just threaded brass plugs. I also have a set of three long drills that are the correct sizes to chase out all the holes in the carb. Anyway, glad it's running.
Cool we took turns going outside with the glasses at work, at the high point nearly every department was out front, very few customers at that time.
Actually wild how you can see the moon’s shadow pan across the clouds. In a way it makes it more special!
I thought that was really neat too!
Just watched the original "Flight of the Phoenix" starting scene here... a *bit* more dramatic! If you're naming it, "The Phoenix" fits!
well done on rescuing this fascinating piece of steam technology! i cant wait to see it run under its own steam again!
The Poppin' Johnny pops again! Love it!
Wow, I need my sunglasses. That is one bright white sterile laboratory....thank God for gravity, cause I can't tell the floor from the ceiling. Very nice space. .
Thank you. Well worth the work put in.
Yes, to the right.
Valve grinding paste for that valve .
3rd comment: Almost parade ready! A couple tires, and good to go.
2nd comment: It sounds like a "Hit And Miss" engine.
Having welded with stick before, as well as mig, I believe that weld wasn't cleaned AFTER welding, the slag is what is cracked first.....but yeah, clean the weld....👍
Awesome!
👍
That started far easier than I woukd have guessed. (Says the guy that DIDN'T spend an hour turning it over by hand.) Another successful rescue is well underway.
Who needs the gym?! Great cardio 😆
Loving this series! You're making it look easy though 😉
@21:23 No..... but my back sure as hell is getting sore!!!😂
🤣
Well done. ❤
Was hoping through the whole video that it would run. Not disappointed 😊
Awesome!!!
Great. Thanks for posting
Well done! Nice rescue.
Even if such a thing still existed in the UK that would be impossible due to the corrosion caused by our warm damp climate
Believe it or not, the environment here is even worse, some refer to it as "The rust belt". Very high humidity and warm summers combined with very harsh winters that will ice jack and damage anything left to the elements, as well as extreme use of salt which then accelerates summer corrosion even more. Doing this type of work here is indeed, extremely difficult.
Great job, love to see it! Here in Sweden these old John Deer's are a bit rare and hence quite expensive (8-10'000 USD ish when running) - so as of yet I haven't worked on any. That makes it extra fun to see the their engineering and quirks, even though we sure have a lot of other oddball machinery here! We love our hotbulbs haha.
Thanks for the positive feedback, hard to imagine the old John Deere's being rare, they are everywhere here! On the same token, the hot bulbs are uncommon here and equally neat to see. Have checked out a few of your vids, you have some neat equipment!
👍
nicely done
Nice job. thanks for posting
Great progress. Keep up the good work. Always worth the wait.
Well done.
Hi, Glad you are back at it. What happened with the Fordson you posted about a year ago? Would love to see more on that.
The Track Pull should see progress this spring. It's in the farm shop that has no heat, so I don't do much "unnecessary" work there during the winter.
Happy you’re back. Hope you can post more regular content. I enjoy the channel.
Rough with the transmission casing, but really nice work on the carb!
Thanks!
Kewl project. I do prefer the older equipment. But, I will watch what ever you up load. But please, quality over quantity.
Fair enough!
Absolute genius machines. These cable backhoes would be effective even today, mostly because of small capital costs
2:25 That high drawbar hitch is going to kill the driver more sooner than later.
