Reality check..99% of the LMTV " Overland Mall Crawlers" are never completed ..those who have easily have 6 digits into them... Who knows maybe you'll be the 1 in 100 that actually completes their build ..only to get .30 cents on the dollar when you sell ...

@@scratchfab It's a statement of fact..just as Neil V , Sean F or Chad how much they have invested in their "Overland Expedition Vehicles"..or better yet the dreamer who was asking $450k for his M1087 build out on Cars and Bids ..it reached a max bid of $95k. No sale. The 1087 was parted out for $75k.... Sorry...

Leon, no need to be sorry for expressing your opinion. I appreciate you and Winifred taking the time to comment. I hope you will continue to follow along and who know you might even become a fan.

With your thermostat housing being broken beyond the gasket area I am surprised you did not have the flange welded. It use to be very difficult to weld cast, yet with preheating and proper welding rods it has become very successful to repair this type of damage, with also having a controlled cooling period of the casting. The replacement was $950.00 welding would have been $100.00 or less.

Welding was an option I considered but there were two problems with welding first the break went through one of the mounting holes and the second was the fan hangs off the thermostat housing which creates a lot of torsional stress. So in total it was a bad design to start so it didn't make sense to fix it. The fan and parts were inexpensive and gave me a better solution in the long run.

Thanks, its a small space but I have a lot packed into it. Also I will have videos coming out early next year where I restore a Fire Station which will give me more space. Hint this forklift gets used in it. Tail of the Dragon is a fantastic ride and that area has so many amazing routes!

When Gov-bid says it runs, they mean when the bought it new, it ran.

Very true, fortunately it was in a yard close to me so I had seen it in person before I purchased it. I figured I could get it running but had no idea if the hydraulics would work.

Subscribed, I like 'field rescues' and as a one man shop with 8 forklifts, I ........have a thing for old forklifts. It just wouldn't be an old forklift if the brakes actually worked. What did you pay for it? Nice effort!
@scratchfab 5 күн бұрын
Thank you and very true on the brakes. There were a number of challenges to get them working. I will put out the videos getting the brakes to work in a couple of weeks. The next challenge is to really go through it and start working on what needs fixed. Specifically the cooling system it was a challenge. All in I have about $8,000 in it. I bought it to do the lifting for turning my M1078 LMTV into an expedition vehicle. I appreciate you subscribing and hopefully you will enjoy the videos.

That wasn't a fire station- it was the original Phillipsburg dance hall.

You have bad information that is the fire station. The dance hall was much bigger and one story.

Hey Tom, good to see you again (even if it's on a video! : ) That backhoe will come in handy when we dig out that hillside and install the waterfall that you're going to hire me for!! 😁

Wow what a blast from the past, what are the odds that my new channel would get shown to you! Interesting idea putting a waterfall in after the fire station gets moved to its final location.
