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

Jered rescued this truck from where it had been parked for some 13 years.Trres had to cut from where they had grown around the truck in order to get it inside to work on.

[@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.

[@matthewlatzy4307]

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

[@jonschlick9563]

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

[@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!!

[@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

[@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!

[@jasonsalvas1846]

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

[@kevingordon7426]

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

[@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.

[@bigjim5723]

what happened to JR?

[@simr7856]

@@johnv8757 i seen that..thought the same thing.

[@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.

[@micheallanier487]

My very first truck I drove on my families ranch. Mine had a 10 speed. Loved that old lady.

[@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....

[@Torsee]

Remember Ford Dash gauges of that era all point to 3 o’clock when everything is good! Nice project!

[@garlandhenry6792]

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

[@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

[@racer7954]

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

[@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.

[@maryaldrich5982]

Good. Thank you for sharing your truck Jared

[@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

[@billsexton4811]

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

[@leighriley6277]

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

[@lorengolliher2712]

Can't wait to see more extra proud of these guys restoring the old iron there becoming more rare everyday

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

[@jackbaker5284]

Proud of ya'll. Saving a Ford is a worthwhile thing to do....Jack

[@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!

[@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

[@seecampacp5107]

Damn Andy got young all of a sudden. Must be taken his vitamins 😁

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Amazing after 13 years sitting out like that. Great video Jared.

[@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👍

[@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!

[@jeffreyneihart1614]

Great job keep us up to date on this! Very cool

[@geesss8675]

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

[@peewee.3138]

Happy Belated Birthday, Kim!

[@davidandrews8631]

Great video and presentation Jered!

[@ralphe2839]

Nice job jerod amazing it started. Didn’t think it would. Nice to see you do a show. Enjoyed it. Hows your little brother doing. Had cummins engines since nineteen seventy eight. Still got one to this day. All semi engines

[@davidbroad4834]

Need to see more on this truck.

[@rodneyerdmann1545]

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

[@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.

[@jerome8469]

Peace and Much Love Brothers !!

[@jean-francoislarhantec2410]

A lot of work, good luck. Thanks for the video

[@deernutOO]

Nice salvage job, and sounds good.. now have to keep going onward and upward. thumbsup

[@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

[@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.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Those paper wasps, I see a few nice white eggs in there, you need to get them out of the cab and squish them😎😁 Good to see you didn't get a quart of water out before the oil!! I've got a tandem axle that's been sitting for a few years, no one wants to buy it, so... I think we are going to be putting a spreader box on it. Will make hauling manure out in the summer a lot nicer!! No tractors available then...

[@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 .

[@rogerholloway8498]

Pretty amazing! Nice work Jered!

[@Erated78]

Good job Jared! that was fun to watch. Thanks

[@andrewwoodhead8305]

Mad for the mechanics and restoration!!👍👌🍻

[@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.

[@dennishettinger4469]

Really enjoyed this video !!! Thumbs up boys THANKS

[@dieselbronco9247]

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.

[@zachlantinga1663]

Keep up the good work yall hay farmer from Michigan

[@stephenmckenzie4222]

u need ur own channel jared!

[@dusttodeals1324]

Somebody has been watching Vice Grip Garage. Decent imitation!

Great job Jared FF&F will live forever.

[@simplydub]

That's a true American hero. Walking away from camera pulling his pants up. Lol

[@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

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@gregshearer423]

Be interesting to see what Jared does with it another good video

[@ront8261]

Nice job!! Like this sort of YT content. Thanks!!!

[@domthomas1002]

I used to drive the same year of Ford Louisville on the farm. the same year as this one. It is still being used on the farm today.

[@fordnut4914]

Been setting that long hard to tell what you could run into in the starting process I alway try start them first outside incase somthing catch a or causes a fire so it dont take down the shop . But any how nice job hope it works out.

[@davidschmidt1780]

Looks like a great project think you are right about it being a Byrne dairy truck colors are right, have fun

[@jimscales8054]

I'll be danged...very freaking cool, keep the videos updated, would really like to see what y'all do with this this

[@teaches2010]

Colton's got the chain saw. .......awesome opening line!!

Now you just need to get that Geo Tracker going!

[@jameswalz9533]

It's great to see old trucks running.

[@davehamlyn3097]

The Transport Group of Hullets Sugar, Hultrans used these trucks to Haul Sugar Can for years on the KZN North Coast in South Africa. Really Great Trucks

[@johnpratt9429]

So cool firing up old motor.. Nice of Andy to give you a blank check and couple months to thrash on the ole girl😏

[@m.j.l.abulle9107]

Some great running gear including hydraulics ? to transfer to a more road worthy chassis maybe , motor seem to be a gem , great that it's going to be used again in some form , l have done a simmilar exercise on a 3130 & it's satisfying to use it everyday on a bale unroller .

[@markwittenbach5044]

Sound good...cant wait to see what u do with it

[@farmboy5622]

Good job Jered, with both getting the truck started, and remembering your Mom's birthday!!! Is your Mom 29 years old?!?! At 9:45, Jered says it's going to need a "lot of pounding." Gee, I wonder where he learned that from?!?!

[@MichaelTJD60]

Nice save! What are your plans for the truck?

[@IcamanSogge]

Good job jerad thanks for sharing. What u going too do with it.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video

[@the.porter.productions]

This truck would be a good one to get the history on and add it to the story. Good save.

[@brianbaenen2821]

It's my guess almost be willing to bet Jared didn't play a lot of video games when he was a kid

[@robertb2479]

Can we get an update on this truck, it's cool that you saved it would love to see more on it.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We haven't done anymore with it

[@averysenior6571]

Good work enjoyed the video!

[@mattphillips4260]

bet that would make a good seed truck when planting for a good fuel truck to get away from the trailer or a good water truck for putting water on hay just before you chop it like you did last year will for sure find its place in the fleet givin some time

[@johnwarren-649]

For as long as it set it started easy sounds darn good too. Now we'll what Jared makes it it

[@enduser1982]

Deja Vu with the video there.. awaiting Anxiously the next clip

[@wanderleipintomrbean7377]

Hello alright, a big hug

[@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

[@captainjerk]

Cool! Started easier than I thought it would! :D

[@MrMagnum7220]

Once I would have out it was an 8.3, I would have been on that project faster than a pack of dogs on a 3 legged cat. Love the 8.3
