Vans are always extra challenging! It's on the outside? Must be leaking a little.... Hope you can get her all de-sooted! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

Thanks for watching! Happy Wheel Horsing 👍😁

I think it is a direct drive, but it's been awhile.... If the motor isn't seized I would inspect the prop connection. It could have sheared a key or wrapped something up binding it to the housing. If that isn't part of the issue I would guess it overheated or was ran without the proper oil mixture; consequently melting the piston into the rings/bore. Thanks for watching and best of luck on the repair! 👍😁

@@FlatThunder I think I might of broke it. I placed a drill on the top nut to try to break it free, no it spins and everything is free- but feel like something isn’t right. I get spark, get fuel, but maybe a broke a connector rod?

@@D.Trider take the spark plug out, put your thumb over the hole and pull it. You should feel compression..... All it needs is fuel spark and compression to make it go go. If you have all three then the mix / settings might be off on your levers / knobs

Not sure, I never tried it.... Thanks for watching and best of luck on the repair! 👍😁

Thanks Zane! I was starting to wonder if it was going to work along the way!? Thanks for watching my Friend 👍😁

Thanks Donnie! The expansion valve was really questionable, but works! Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Depends on what you are going for.....I like the nostalgia knowing it was the same finish that weathered my grandfather's garage over all those years. I only have it for old memories of sharing bottles of soda pop with him and my sister out in the garage! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

And the belt was cheaper

I figured it was too short! Luckily I squeaked it on to make it work....Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍😁

This system was only tested a few times. It needs a few more tests / adjustments to fully dial it in and answer with confidence. You are correct, upon engaging / disengaging it bumps the idle up to prevent a stall. I adjusted the IAC settings on the unit in an effort to reduce the speed up. The system allows access to the gain settings on ramp up and ramp down on the IAC. I attempted to reduce the rate at which it ramps up and increase the rate at which it ramps down off high idle. I contacted Jeg's to see if they had an optimal set of settings for this application and they do not. They did tell me I was on the right path with making adjustments and this system doesn't have a complicated idle 'chasing' system some of the more expensive units have. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

I give it a shot, though AC systems are still kind of a mystery to me. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Ole 'Margaret' is pretty awesome! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

Keeping up? Kicking on high idle?

Awesome! I too love the simplicity and brute power of these machines. They are like a tank. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

Thanks! I think they are pretty good engines, just had a few rough years when first introduced. Thanks for watching 👍😁

It is a C6! Thanks for sharing 👍😁

Thanks! This one originally intimidated me because I didn't want to mess it up. Hopefully the video will encourage others to tackle this chore with more confidence! Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Thanks Zane! I was getting a little worried when I had to start cutting it into pieces. Thanks for watching my Friend! 🔧😁

Good news is no one will ever see those welds 🤣.....I found out later I could remove it with the handle attached and touched up the welds (less boogery). 🤣 Thanks for watching 👍😁

Thanks! I really liked the first position and orientation better..... It just didn't fit. I will have to keep that in mind. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Thanks Donnie! I really didn't want to cut the hole and delayed it longer than I should have. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

I believe mine is a Spacesaver model, she's quite a bit older than your unit. The brake shoes could share some similarities in design, though I am not overly familiar. Get those brakes fixed! I used mine for too long without good stopping power. This leather wrapped shoe still works. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

Welcome! Good luck on the repair and thanks for watching! 👍😁

These are awesome little machines! It will be super fun for your kids and family. Thanks for watching 👍😁

Thank you. It’s actually my wife’s from when she was a kid. Picked it up from her Dad’s. Did you ever do anymore videos on it?

@@jeffdukelow no nothing more on this unit though I think it still needs more work to be 100%. It's hiding out in the pallet rack. Potentially a future video depending on the scope of the repair.

Good idea! I usually have a can of CRC branded contact cleaner on hand (literally every time I use it).....I need to investigate the electrical plug connection further. It was giving me issues at the connection point.... Thanks for watching! 👍😁

While it works, it was slightly different than the original and the quality was a little suspect. I just bagged the old pieces and probably will roll with the new one unless it gives me issues. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

Haha yes! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

I heard that.....I prefer the heavy duty 4 speed, but this one will always be an auto..... It's nostalgic for me! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

They can be a struggle with the limited space.....I didn't show it, but it took 3 different angles on the cluster to find the best position to fit my big mitt in there. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

I heard that.... Thanks for watching 👍😁

Thanks! I wish I didn't break the original, but sometimes it happens. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Bummer..... More than double the repair required in this video. Decks are a pretty common problem area for several houses. People just slap a ledger board on the house and let'er rot. Best of luck on the repair! 👍😁

I think you might be right or the tappet driven fuel pump was eating itself. Something was definitely putting metal in the intake. The owner decided it was time for a trade in 🙄. Thanks for watching 👍😁

@@FlatThunder it does the exact same thing on big truck excessive blow by you will have some but not that much

Currently using this vise to dismantle a cylinder..... It's working great, but the cylinder is being a pain! Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

They sent me a new one free of charge.... Awesome warranty and company. I repaired the old one with the hot glue gun..... Couldn't just throw it away! #Gearwrench #awesome #toolhoarder

It's a Palfinger PK12000. Palfinger and Hiab are competitors, but offer similar products. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

@@FlatThunder Lol.. I was off on the name but then that was 50 years ago. Thanx Andy.

Thanks! I think anyone willing to purchase and assemble one of these will likely be joining me (if I ever make it). Thanks for watching and building a fun playset for your kids! 👍😁

I hope you can access it without removing the front bumper cover. It's a teeny tiny hole I worked thru, but it was much easier than removing inner fenders. I am still in contention that this connection would be fine if protected from corrosion at the factory with die electric grease. Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍😁

Awesome! Feel free to say hello next time we cross paths. Thanks for checking out the channel. 👍😁

Especially with a load on the 🪝. It's all good though and nothing really surprises me anymore. Just another opportunity to fix something I suppose 🙄. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Yes, I think that would be the best approach. Possibly a different setup in the future......A diesel would be ideal. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Definitely, a video is in the works.... Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Thanks Donnie! I had plans for it to be a more complete video, but the crane engine malfunction derailed the process. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

These are still working good! Every once in a while I catch a rounded tooth and it skips a tooth or two. I will keep on turning these until they are toast. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

Maybe clean the old one up as a backup? I like the availability of spare parts, but try to avoid the Chinese carb copies.

@@FlatThunder If you clean the old one up and put in a new diaphragm it should work. If your tank is a mess any carb you put on won't work long. Be sure to look for a crack in the pickup tube. Mine is running ok with the chinese carb, cost me 20 dollars.

Oops, I can snap a photo of the tube attachment if that's helpful. The tube slide was extra confusing. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

Seems like a pretty stout little diesel! Thanks for watching 👍😁

Thanks Zane! I was pretty happy with the end result on this one. I started on it and made things up as I went. I hope it works out well for them. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Thanks! I appreciate you taking time to watch 👍😁
