Are the tires on the chain just to prevent a slingback in case the strap breaks?

I definitely want to see it go. Good luck

Make it run!

Loving the videos Bruce, from Northumberland n the UK 👍👍

One of the best channels. Old skool master mechanic legend.. Keep up the great work you do Bruce…

As a young man when I started my career I drove a Ford D-series diesel truck with a cab quite similar to the Bedford. Quite an interesting driving experience for a 6'3" tall man...

Part 2! Please

Yes lets get it going

Looking forward to Part 2🙂

You can do it!!

Ok buddy, let's skip this one and move on to something else.

I wouldn't sit in that cab until it had been bug bombed and steamed. There is bound to be a spider under the seats and down under you mates have bad spiders.

what about crawler dozer 10 months ago ? why dont you finsh what started once ? what a scamer you are

That be great to see it go Bruce give it a shot 👍👍

👍👏❤️

You’ve come this far mate get into it 👍

She’s galloping…

Yes please Sir the grader film will be good as we know you, pure no fuss old school

👍👏🙏❤️😊

Oi,no red earth, no red diesel drum....

A good illustration, Bruce, of the scale of "stuff" needed to do jobs like these! I similarly find the same thing when doing even simple household renovations / repairs / etc! At the end of the job, there's always a mountain of tools and equipment to put away! Thanks again for your videos and keep up the good work. (Greetings from England)

First lorry I ever had a ride in EKL 413C which was a diesel engined TK, 4 ton tipper I think, at 13 years old I got the job of filling the diesel tank every night and checking oil and water levels, loved every minute of it. My Uncle drove for a tipper firm with Bedford TKs and 2 KMs, later they had 2 stroke Commers then Dodge Commandos

That looks like a three hundred cubic inch six cylinder o

Awesome 👍

Well done Bruce, you’re the man. You’ve come a long way from when you started and seem so much more relaxed in front of the camera now. I love your content and relaxed style. Cheers mate, Stuart. Canberra.

Looking forward to Part 2 for this video Bruce, you've gone so far now, good job.. I did ride in a TK Bedford once and remembered every gear change the little whistles it would let out..

Not sure why ive never stumbled across you before, Bruce, but im thoroughly enjoying watching ! Reminds me of the days of working with my grandfather with all his machines, with his mindset of "you can fix just about anything" before you go throwing it away that is 😊 Subscribed 👍 Have a great day mate !

Part 2 for sure

We want to see her drive!

Lol its turned back into crude oil

Or maybe he's a killdozer

Thank you

Good job Bruce..................Jay

In Australia, when you find an abandoned vehicle in the bush, biology is just as useful as mechanics skills lol

Thank you so much for this most important information.....which many people overlook.....including so-called ''professional Mechanics'', or ''technicians''.

Would be good if you could film going through the carby.

interesting thing i belive the 6x6 army aaco and the 4x4 bedfords shared some swivel pin parts including the swivel hub seals

Best of luck with your eye surgery Bruce. Top man in my book. Well done!

Great video Bruce, love your Suzuki. Thank you from Fresno California.

Congratulations Bruce, great to hear you have your eyesight back

''Welch'' plugs Australia.....''core'' plugs UK Bruce?

Awesome video as usual

Good day sir. To point out a couple friendly tips, there's a poor ground from the battery to the frame, Rusted connection between cable and frame. Unbolt that, clean the rust off, the starter might turn faster. It would be smart to pull the starter, disassemble, clean it, derusting parts, sandpaper brush and rotor parts, lube starter gear and travel. I'm surprised you wasted all that starting fluid trying to start it before taking the carb off, disassembling and cleaning it. A good mechanic with a higher than average troubleshooting IQ takes the time to follow the proper steps before trying to fire up any engine that's been setting, including flushing old fuel out of the fuel lines. (Before I started working in the construction industry as a heavy equipment mechanic, I started engine salvage startups in 1980 after reading Chilton's Auto-Disel Repair and Overhaul Manual. They have a set full proof troubleshooting procedures for each engine type that prevents any further damage to clinically ill engines, trannies, rear ends, etc.) After you know the engine turns over, Always pull a carburetor and starter, clean and test ignition parts (each spark plug), compression test cylinders, free sticky valves, check fuel pump delivery, clean ground (earth), and ignition connections, check for stuck alternator, generator and water pump, fix coolant leaks, . . . Then, , , try to start your engine. Impatience and dimmed-witts are a mechanic's worst adversaries. :)

Crank it up mate please

The Roger Barr of the heavy machinery world. Never knew the trick of that hose and fuel. Would have saved so much aggro had I know that trick 30 years ago.

I love it every single time i see a notification from Bruce and Farmcraft. I have learned so much from the two channels this year more than all the years i've been on youtube

Excellent video again Bruce, interesting and entertaining in equal measure ! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to part 2 !

I’m sure it will go. Often I will squirt some engine oil in the cylinders to help the rings seal, every little bit of compression helps. Just my thoughts. I’ll be watching for more.

Be careful with that torch--the last thing you need is a half cooked brown snake leaping at you from some dark corner of the truck...
