ABANDONED 1993 Louisville Ford, Hasn't Run in 13 Years

[@randallmyers]

I like the fact that the son enjoys working on trucks even during his time off, nothing better than do what you like and having the teacher to do it. You've done a great job.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

I've seen worse!! She actually looks pretty good, especially for sitting outside for so many years. 8.3 is a damn good engine!!! Lots of articulated tractors and smaller trucks have proven them to last. Always fun getting stuck brakes broke lose!!! Runs like a champ!!!! Thanks for the video!!

[@anthonybanda8192]

That jered is a good thinker. He found a decent old truck and got it runing. That old truck still has some life left it might need some attention. Every young farmer has a tinker toy of some kind weather it's a hot rod his truck or a old tractor. I like restoring old tractors. I bought a bigbud hn 250 and we rebuilt the motor and gave it some paint. The tractor is pushing 350 hp and works great on our 40 foot field cultivator. Keep up the good work jered . Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

I like the way you constantly move the camera never allowing it to focus on anything. I finally just closed my eyes and listed. Excellent video. Three thumbs up!

[@timmattison6553]

Happy Birthday Mom. Great to see you get the Byrne truck running. Sounds good. Look forward to more videos on the transformation of the truck

[@matthewlatzy4307]

That's awesome Jered ! I hope we get see your rebuild process. It will live again!!!! Fix'er up !!

[@kevingordon7426]

Congratulations Jared. Great video, great job, love the enthusiasm. Thank you.

[@jasonsalvas1846]

Nice to see you doing some videos too Jered! Both of you guys do a great job

[@TimothyPeterson-mc4gf]

This truck deserves to be restored to its former glory

[@tolipwen1487]

Thanks for reaching out with a video Jared. Looks to me like a good starting point for a project, not too much in the way of the basics. Hope the 'new' shoes have something left in em.

[@robert.landwehr9237]

Fine job getting the old Ford running sound great from setting so long ......Your good on what you do on the farm keeping every thing going....

[@jonschlick9563]

Jered sounded just like a kid on Christmas morning! Go Henry go! This will be fun project to watch.

[@billsexton4811]

Jarred , I knew if anyone could get this truck running it would be you ! You are quite the diesel mechanic . Nice job !!!

[@racer7954]

Great video. Hope that he does more. Take care Andy and family

[@maryaldrich5982]

Good. Thank you for sharing your truck Jared

[@londog53511]

Make it into a service truck. Mount a service body on it with a welder / air compressor and a crane. Nice job Jered on getting it running. Be a perfect project truck. Hope JR is on the mend!

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Just the right size!! It is nice having a real truck for a service truck!! After 30 years of wanting more than a couple of one tons, I finally got one built.. lol.. pieced together 😎 still a work in progress, but we've been using it for the last two years.

[@jfresca9125]

Agreed make it a service truck

[@johnv8757]

Sure looks like an old Byrne Dairy delivery truck with the side lift.

Sounds a like a possible fun project. Twelve years sitting and it started within a lot of work - - - congratulations

Bloody excellent, great video Jered, looking forward to the next one 👍👍

[@cubcadetsteve4148]

Very Nice!!! Its like a old farm tractor but it's a truck that's been sitting for years outside .. There's something to it, about trying to get them running again.. So Cool👍

[@n2slugs]

My first semi was an L8000 with a 3208 and an automatic. I still have it. She’s a gutless wonder but faithful as the day is long. Mine used to be a Pepsi truck in the city so it’s geared pretty low. 65 is the end of the world for it. She will pull any stump, though.

[@cw3339]

Mine had a 3208 and a10 speed crashbox with a Holmes 850 wrecker on it!

[@geesss8675]

Glad to see you found a power plant for your new project.

[@corinschick8172]

Nice work Jared. Make sure a restoration is economical before getting too far into it if that's your plan. Sometimes the cost takes all the fun out of it. I'm pleased she started for you though. You speak just like your dad! FFAF is continuing in good hands.

[@davidandrews8631]

Great video and presentation Jered!

[@Deere70Diesel]

Just for an idea Jerrad ....I had an old Freightliner, single axle with an L10 Cummins. I ditched the rear brakes and put parking chambers on the front. Used it as my burnout machine. Had a blast with it at a lot of parties and hot rod events. I’d like to see this ol gal carry on that legacy lol

[@6-4fab53]

Awesome job Jered! Loved watching this video! Unlike most "will it start/run" videos on KZbin you did it right! Changed/checked fluids and filters. I could tell that you know what you are doing! (As I have mentioned before) Very like mined people! I hope you end up salvaging this truck and using it for something useful like a service truck as has been mentioned. Stay safe and healthy! And keep up the hard work! Dan @6-4_Fab Glen Rock, PA

[@jerrythegaffer]

Spot on video Jared! Be nice to see a FF&F. Restoration looking forward to the next installment. Give best wishes to little Brother hope he's healing. 👍Done

[@karencary3312]

I know you probably don't want to hear this but you remind me of your dad. Your voice sounds like his (yours doesn't sound as gravely). When you walk and move your body in profile, your mannerisms are like his. You converse with the video like your dad. Enough about your dad. I am amazed with your mechanical knowledge and problem solving skills for your young age. How young are you? I like that you are willing to take on a challenge like this truck. Keep on keeping on Jared. You are doing a good job.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Jered is 23

[@nicholasbrown7068]

We have an L8000 at work 100 percent identical that's been sitting at least 15 years. Bought at auction and never used. Still in pretty good shape.

I can't believe it started that quick! Great fun Jered!!!

[@rustyrailspikeproductions]

Great to see an old bears restored or at least brought back to life temporarily. I really hope Jr is doing ok sending y’all the best!

[@mikeleschber33]

I bought a 93 9000 a couple years ago that had been sitting for 10 years. I changed all the filters and oil. I put in new batteries and cranked about 20 seconds and she fired right up. Ran for about 20 seconds and would die. Called a diesel mechanic buddy and he said check the coolant level. The radiator was drained. I filled it up and off she went. It has a Detroit 60 series that sounds good. Not bad for $1500 .

[@Slim_Slid]

We have a 1992 Ford LNT8000 at the San Antonio Railroad Heritage Museum in Elmendorf Texas.Ours was a Air Force semi truck from Colorado and is dark blue,it says "L8000" on the hood like they all did but the entire encyclopedia of information is on the builder's chart in the driver's door.This truck has the "Ford Diesel" badge on it too,so I assume it had the Ford 6.6L or 7.8L,but this one has the Cummins 12V 6CT in it,and I've heard about that the military rebuilt some of these trucks with those or the 12V 6BT.We just need to put air brake chambers on it as far as I'm concerned and it has a 10 SPD in it.

[@davidbroad4834]

Need to see more on this truck.

[@silentmoment1876]

[@evancool5268]

Would be an awesome restoration to follow along with here on the channel. I agree with the service truck comments, i think that would be a great use for it.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I already have a service truck

[@teaches2010]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? 5 words you never wanna say when working on a mystery motor!!❤❤❤❤

[@davekauffman8727]

I'd like to see tires like the ones in the green trailer nearby under this truck ;-) The thing I love about old Diesels is how simple they are, and easy to get running. Diesels are more efficient, but since the fuel costs more, I don't know how much difference there would be as far as operating expenses. It did sound great, Diesels usually do!

[@darrellroeters4951]

Still don't understand why diesel fuel is more it's processed less than gas.

[@markeholbrook]

@@darrellroeters4951 Demand for diesel is getting high, lots of diesel pickups around now.

[@darrellroeters4951]

Mark Holbrook still didn’t get it that’s supply and demand, not my point of it’s refined less than gas.

[@markeholbrook]

@@darrellroeters4951 Yeah it's less refined, lasts for a very long time, has more energy than gasoline, much less flammable, all around a better fuel. But the reason it's more expensive is there is high demand right now, and oil companies know how to use that to their advantage. Another reason it maybe more than gasoline prices is road taxes. Heavy trucks damage roadways, and they burn diesel, so there may be higher road taxes on it.

Thats a cool truck, my buddy just bought an 88 with a 7.8 ford/new Holland engine we are going to make a rollback wrecker out of. I'd make a service truck out of that one so when you rescue the next one you already got all the tools and other sundries you may need already with you.

[@stanleyjones4180]

great video jared enjoyed it thanks

[@zachlantinga1663]

Keep up the good work yall hay farmer from Michigan

[@chevy6794]

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t you need air pressure to release the brakes? Maybe that all they need to unstick?

[@nunyabiz7021]

Yes, but air leak and seized, they have a bit of work to do before the brakes are drivable.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yes you need air pressure to release them but there is a t bolt that you can use to release the brake chamber...... Called- "cage the brakes"

[@chevy6794]

Farming Fixing & Fabricating ok ok. Thanks.

[@adambubacz8058]

[@richardp3628]

not sure if you have Miller Waste in NewYork State, but its there color and it appears to be a side loader bin truck

[@jerome8469]

Peace and Much Love Brothers !!

[@johnwoa]

I happened upon this video when I saw the thumbnail. The color scheme on this truck is identical to the trucks of Miller Waste Systems Inc. or The Miller Group, a diverse transportation construction company. Both companies are based in Markham, Ontario, Canada (just north of Toronto) where the corporate head office is located. The Miller Group (i.e. the construction company) also has a U.S. headquarters in Morrow, Georgia. Again, the color scheme on this truck is identical to the Miller trucks. My immediate impression was that this truck was one that carried roll-off containers, but there could have been a garbage body (i.e. a rear loader) on it. Then again, this truck might have been in The Miller Group construction truck fleet. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but when I saw the colors I thought I would try to help you with the truck's history.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks for the info, but it's actually a Byrne Dairy truck

[@FalkonD]

Maybe a dumb question but why does he keep emphasizing the “little” in front of the 8.3 Cummins when he talks about it? I know two separate gravel drivers that have the 5.9 and 6.7 respectively.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

All of our other trucks have 14 & 15 liter engines in them

[@FalkonD]

Farming Fixing & Fabricating Dang. Out of curiosity, does the fact it has an 8.3 in it limit what you can do with the truck quite a bit? I don’t know that much about mid sized or semi rigs.

[@aidober104]

great work Jered will this be the first of as many of it take vids of this trucks to see it back on the road what year was the truck manufactured .wish you and ur family and all farming familys good health in theses times the back bone of america
