Can’t wait to see the sawmill built and in action !
I’d love to have a look. No shows like that here
Someday
Can't wait to watch this project
Very cool! Looks like a lot of fun.
I’m exhausted when it’s over but it is fun. After years now it’s always great to see people you only see once a year at the show.
Right on G looks like you’re having a grand ol time and I love the fact that you’re willing to run anything and that is the sign of a real equipment operator and there’s a lot of action going on! Hopefully you’re signal lights are working 😂😂😀🇨🇦
Wish I would have gotten more video but I was busy just having fun. At the end I was in my 1919 Oshkosh taking it for a drive.
Awesome 👍
Thanks!!
I always thought it would be fun to have a mechanical mule. Lots of practical uses. 👍
Good luck on your project ! I always look forward to see what you are up to next or what you found on market place!
We're all guilty of starting a project and never finishing it, I know I'm guilty of that. It's human nature though. You get bored and move on to something else. I enjoy watching either way my friend 🙂👍
Thanks Geoffrey. Look forward to seeing the mill up and running. Cheers from a new channel and from Aus. Eastern Victoria. Cheers Evo.
My vlogs are all over the place, dogs, trucks , tractors, nice thanks BigAl California, do what you thing you want to do on your vlog, thanks
Thankyou, no intention of changing
I would love to have a pair on beam’s like that, I could move a lot of houses thanks BigAl California
Looking forward to see the sawmill 👍
Excellent look forward to more progress
You Tube might not like it but I do I told my sister all about it because I have never heard that before and it is always interesting to learn ! And let me just say I think you’re a very humble man because if you welded those I beams together you’re one heck of an excellent welder that is something I always envy is a good welder! G you don’t owe anybody an apology things change in a persons life you just carry on and don’t work to hard you need to enjoy yourself a little bit to 😀🇨🇦
Thankyou, besides I’m too old to change.
@@oldamericaniron5767 😂😂👍🇨🇦
Who cares what CZcams thinks. You just keep being Geoffrey and carry on with the vast array of Geoffrey projects and adventures. I enjoy every video you make. JFK said that man was born to be free and independent. Let us all strive for this great calling.😎
THANKYOU!!
Gotta start somewhere. Going to be awesome
How’s that saying go, a journey starts with the first step.
I can handle the wind noise in the background over music noise. Great video on American iron nothing but the best!
Those Delco one wire alternators are the cats meow They have gotten me out of charging trouble and I just keep one handy so I can do a quick swap if I have to hopefully everything comes together for you tomorrow!😀🇨🇦
That's likely a more accurate prediction than the weather service.
😂
Maybe a lot of snow would be good at least up north here we are dry so let it snow let it snow let it snow 😀🇨🇦
We’ll try to send it your way.
😆
First caterpillar I saw so I couldn’t resist the predictions. Did you ever hear those sayings?
I have a couple of these and I believe they are called T340’s not TD340? They are easy to work on and they made a lot of them. Thanks for the video.
Are you in Lowell nc
Nice half-track
Cool military vehicles
It’s always interesting to see military equipment and I like vehicles that are over engineered and not under engineered like nowadays 😀🇨🇦
I'd love to have an H1 chassis but they are crazy expensive here in Missouri. Happy wrenching Geoffrey 🔧
Geoffrey , Was that Jeep one of the Ford built ones . The grille louvers are horizontal , not like the willys vertical ones
Sorry,I have no idea.
Thanks for the walk around of the show Geoffrey, you have some really good equipment there. Hopefully your Sixty is ok, it sounds like it’s still running ok. The A4T 1600 is the same model as my tractor. This one had a the bubble nose front, which was very rare in Australia. The LP version had a 504ci engine and the diesel engine was 585ci. Both engines were rated for 169hp.
the old sixty sounds like it runs a bit cleaner when its a bit leaner?
thats a really need looking setup. hopfully someone gets it up and running again. i will have to gwt you a video of the saw mill at my large vintage rally ground at lake gold smith
I’d like to see that.
@@oldamericaniron5767 ill.be done there in september to do some sork on the machines so ill walk around the sae mill for you
🤔I loved seeing the White/MM, I was shocked to see it was gasser myself😎I hope your rig is okay? It looked great in my video running away😉
Great stuff, Glad you took Steve along 🤠
This one brought me back to reminiscing of my old mentors and the ways they got things done. My boom truck is an '89 and has electric winches, but they sure are handy. Keep at it 'ol boy, you'll only get younger by keeping those projects moving.
Can't wait to see the next video when you load up the saw mill and bring it home Geoffrey 😁👍
Don’t hold your breath on that one.
I hope the 60 is okay. Thanks for the great shout out mate. Looks like a really good time over there. I hope people noticed your attire you had on 🤣
Hi mate looked like a great event. Thanks for that great walk around and shoutout. Magnificent. I’d love one of those GMC Astros. We don’t have them here. It’s amazing the difference in models between the countries. Thanks again
That's a real shame about the cat 60 but if its stopped leaking it will probably be ok. I would defiantly re torque the head bolts at some point. That's a really nice Fordson model N the next tractor I want to my collection is a an N
Well G I had to LAUGH when you said if this is the Junior I would be scared to see the Senior or something like that 😂😂😂😂 I really started to get a good understanding of how it works and it’s really neat engineering but it looks like such a beast to get it back to your place! I read the comment about the little voices and I have to tell you I’ve been there so many times and at the end of the day it’s What will it take to load it and then what will it take to restore it and then look at your chequing account that’s kinda how I try to go about situations like this and I wish you all the best either way on this deal. I’m just a viewer so It’s different for you ! Take care G😀🇨🇦
You described the situation perfectly!
Can’t watch it , you don’t have your auto rotation turned on your camera, ok thanks see ya BigAl California
I’m sorry , I just forget to check phone before I record at times.
It needs a total rebuild,...I dont know.
if that mill was close to where i live i would be interested, i bought a m14 belsaw, but i would like to get something bigger. I think they used those sprockets to center the drum on the shaft .
Now after thinking about it I think you are right. It may have had a wooden drive drum which perished and this one made from a pipe obviously isn’t original and the gear was used to mount it. I’ll have to look at the pictures again but I believe there was no welding involved in the making of the drive, clever engineering doing it without welding.
I do see a Lane sawmill on marketplace with a long rack on the carriage to drive but I still think you are correct about this one. Another interesting feature on the Lane is it doesn’t have a track per say for the carriage but instead a series of rollers the carriage travels across.
@@oldamericaniron5767 I looked up the sawmill you are talking about on marketplace. I have never seen that design before. That is interesting, it seems that most mills went to a cable and track eventually.
Well, not knowing the logistics you are faced with to move the mill.........from here in my easy chair watching your video........fingers crossed you make the right decision! Thanks!!
The little voice saying what I want and the little voice saying what I should do are doing battle.
@@oldamericaniron5767not having to do anything personally I say go for it… if you do enough logging or have access to logs I made fat cash in Alaska with a mill a lot like this that damn near killed me every chance it got, especially moving it with just my young son, handyman jacks, winch & some pullys
Awesome
Ideally I would get the Belsaw running to cut rough cut timbers for this one. I think rough cut timbers left to weather some would make this mill look great.
@@oldamericaniron5767 I agree
Well Geoffrey we’ve all done that a time maybe two. Looks like you got lucky though. Friend of mine Mark was going to try and make it over to see you, when they were there, he lives over to Sauk. Happy hauling equipment back home buddy.
Probably getting it a little hot got those piston rings seated well. After you get it home, I would retorque the heads and hope for the best. Hopefully nothing got hurt and a good retorque of the heads will fix it.
Oh man! 👀 Hopefully everything is fine with the milky looking oil
Yes G I too have run my equipment hot and it just gives you that sinking feeling when I realized what I had done but hopefully you’ll get through this and catch a break because I couldn’t hear any issue when it was idling but moving on that scraper is in really excellent condition I also have this happy sad emotion going on on the last day of a show it’s so exciting and fun the first day and the last day when you see people packing up and you know it’s going to be a good year before you can see them again keep on truckin G 😀🇨🇦
I was so beat I could hardly move but now after a little rest I’m thinking about next year already.
