Nice design - love the weight/safety valve, love the fluid trap at the bottom of the retort return line, love the use of the "when the off-gas stays lit, it's time to recycle the retort gas" rule of thumb. Very practical and smart. Thanks for posting.

SAVE IT - GET IT UNDERCOVER ASAP.

I like this design thank you for sharing

I thought that looked like a Ontario plate. I just came across your channel and I'm definitely going to check it out and especially if you are in southern Ontario like myself 👍🇨🇦🔧 Oh yeah and getting that machine running that's what I like to call motion lotion. Probably something to do with 30 plus years as a heavy truck mechanic 👍🇨🇦🔧

I love to see a WH saved. However you ruined a good hood. Why? You could have just spaced the hood up.

Searched for a retort video, the 1st 4 did not cover the design. I can’t remember actually what they covered. The design is brilliant. How often do you use charcoal?

That tag might say Drott 40, That machine looks like a 1969 30YC with that house and stick, especially with Detroit 453 and the troubled crane grousers on it. Drott 40 will have a case or a Detroit 471 in it. large counterweight on the 40. was at the Wausau plant saw these made and i owned. Best machines of their time until Case bought out Drott.

My neighbor had a scrap yard he made boo coo bread but also guys he working fer they had got sticky stealing cars I would be right in middle of the stuff Detroit Michigan back in the day he has been long passed away

it got hard so the two boys quit ?

η καλυτερη εφευρεση τα τελευταια εκατο χρονια!!!

Seeing that old 79 ford and cool van get crushed😢i would have at least saved the old hubcaps off the van😢

Aside from the ends possibly being colder then the middle and the possibility of inconsistent charcoal I really like it.

great stuff, ive been looking at the wc88 or the tf810. how are you liking your 88 after a few years? any issues? new subscriber

Winner! Thanks for the video, that helped me out heaps.

Do you have any idea how much that hood was worth

How much time to firing take pls

That is pyrolytic oil, it is very precious !

Very cool setup! How’d that 55gal drum hold up over time?

That water is turpentine I suppose

Like this design better than mine because you can redirect water vapor and collect tar! Nice video

Best retort I’ve seen so far 👍🏼

Thanks for sharing fun to watch

Is that an old bridgeport J head mill?

That's too bad that it's not a garden tractor instead of a lawn tractor.

You should really try to keep everything on that little tractor original! Antiques lose a lot of their historic value when you start upgrading or modernizing them! Since you are determined to butcher it, you should just sell it to somebody who can restore it and retain its historic value!!!

That's not a plug that you put on the front of the seat. It's called an inlet. Because unlike an outlet you're letting power go into that circuit.

Good day, great video and thank you for sharing this great idea. I have the barrel placed vertically, but I have problem with the gasses leaking on the lid, but my ring for the lid has no screws, it is just a regular ring, so I place mud in the lid cannel. So, do you just screw the ring on the lid, or do you add maybe clay or mud in the lid cannel to seal it more tight? Thank you kindly for your time and answer, and I am sending you very best regards.

Looks like a great system.

Love it Man!

Love to see a younger generation saving the equipment that helped build this country. It may not be as economical, but it did it's job by pure Brite force, and was designed to be rebuilt time after time. Thank you.

I just bought a John Deere 3025E and am needing advice on how to remove small pieces of scrap metal, tires, wires, etc located in deep grass. The only attachments I have is a front bucket and a bush hog

Every time I hear a Detroit I’m reminded of being downtown with my grandma as a kid catching a bus😂

That started up ace what a good old detroit

Nice hack job

Nice!

Brilliant!

Good old dozer but I think I'd want to fix the exhaust leaks before using it too much.

I was The practical one of a three sibling Family pre- cast business. I inherited a very lame JCB loading shovel that was 15 years old and a worn out under spec liability! We had no money in 1988 but I asked my contact to look out for a cheap but bigger replacement..on the understanding that it be a stop gap for a couple of years He found one for £4000; A 1968 Michigan 125; It needed only a good servicing and minor parts for the 10 years we had it- Unbelievable In the end the round the clock Leyland diesel died ( no compression) and the Clark transmission, Diff and final drive were incredibly still good. Such well made top quality came out of Michigan

Sounds like the transaxle quieted down after you added the gear oil. I flushed mine with kerosene (same thing you did) drove it a couple times with the Kero and got the nastiness out. Used 85-140 or w/e the specified oil is and felt good about it after. There is a special gear oil to use for the brass in the trans if I remember correctly gl-5? I forget but good to keep it clean!

275 gallon oil tank FYI!!!!

I'm curious how many burns this set up lasted? I can see the larger barrel lasting quite a while but the 45 gallon drum I would think would burn out after 20 burns or so.

Sounds like you have an airleak on your powersaw if not in need of some carb adjustment

I have an outdoor boiler with a huge firebox, so I just shove a metal pail inside full of wood. The escaping gases and tars burn and help heat the water.

You've introduced me to a whole new world. Kinda envious watching you "play with the big toys." Made me feel like your young fella driving the rig. You made my day. Txs for sharing.

Nice build. I’m jealous.

What ever happened to this channel

We want you to be a great role model

Nice
