Big Busted 8HP vac-Sucker, Can It Be Fixed

[@rayvoorhies7180]

I'm so happy that Mustie is able to work in his shop again. It's one of the few channels that doesn't push Merch week after week. Just great content and conversation on Sunday mornings.

[@Gamer-vn1uk]

Bad part is I wouldn't mind if he sold some shirts or hats

[@kenthetalkingpen2518]

Yeah but I don't think he wants to go that route

[@giggiddy]

​@@Gamer-vn1ukand you would wear them and nobody would have any idea what it was about.

[@chrisjayr]

I bet one of the shirts would be an old VW engine, and text saying "Will it run?"

[@alanpettibone]

@@giggiddywith 678k subs, you might just run into a Mustie1 fan out there in society..😂

[@LuxCarpe]

Where have you been all my life Mary Mac? This is exactly what I need at the house. No more raking or hauling yard waste. It looks like something from Dr. Seuss!

[@DarrenVaughan-j6j]

Hi D. That was hilarious when the vac was running by itself!! Another awesome video!! Can’t wait to see the other machines!! Thanks for all of your hard work filming. You always keep us with the best views!! Love the town wide yard sales. I wish we had them in NC. Hope you have a great week!! Darren 😊😊😊😊

[@Gazereths1234]

I was half expecting him to come running out after it lol

[@error52]

Yep. You can definitely do a "Scooby-Doo" sequence - you're chasing it, then it's chasing you.

[@chillywilly3397]

the free rider was hilarious!!! got a huge laugh out of it.

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Me too! 😂👍

[@michaelhartzell9758]

When I worked at McDonald's as a maintenance man, I got to use one called a Billy Goat. It was a 8 HP vacuum only you push ,with the worst start up ability, and when it finally did start, you never shut it off till you were done! And dumping the bag in the dumpster was ridiculously hard for one person. Fun times... That machine there is So Nice. But it's only been 35 years since my experience.

[@debcamp2359]

Bringing machines back from the dead never gets old. ❤ you!

[@ericvaughn1126]

The no operator running on the driveway was a complete crackup! It was halfway through the scene the first time before I noticed you weren't behind it! 😁👍👍

I have an electric version of the vacuum portion of this machine. We’ve had it for at least 12 yrs and we struggled to use it correctly the first few. My wife loves it because it turns huge piles of leaves into a few bags of powder in an hour. Your machine is perfect for larger properties. Keep it. Makes great compost or mulch. We rake out leaves from the edges and between bushes into a big loose windrow and it’s gone into bags in an hour. Once you get the vacuum height correct it’s a charm. I’ve picked up stones that have punched holes in the impeller housing two times and have patched with sheet metal because I can’t replace the housing or find another machine. That’s how handy it is.

[@EyesOnlyTeam86]

👏👏👏👏👏👏 Perfect morning!! Cup of coffee and a new episode of Mustie1😊

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Glad to see you back at it again. 👍 The older I get, the more I realize that getting old sucks! 😝 Thanks a bunch Mustie 🙏

[@allenferry9632]

Who would of thought old age could get here this fast. It's like you start aging in dog years.

[@michaelhartzell9758]

I hope your feeling better my friend. The only reason to wakeup early is always for a little Muskie with morning coffee. 🎉

[@GreenJimll]

The material that was making at the end will either compost down nicely or act as a great organic mulch to retain moisture on beds. Lovely stuff.

[@martinwade9421]

I was just thinking the very same.

[@ITGuyOhio]

Love the vac running down the road by itself😅 Nice work.

[@johnturner8829]

Good Morning everyone.

[@billyhaddock5540]

Mustie1, your Creativity and dedication to get stuff running and working good and ur laugh brings-out the best in people.. Congrats and have a couple of beers ..

[@DannyNeal-g8y]

This is a good example of why you should never leave a 12 year old unattended in your shop with an unlocked tool box! Thanks for explaining how things are supposed to work; once you understand the theory, most anything can be fixed. Good show, as always!

[@miker8915]

My father had something similar to this which he bought from sears. It was just a leaf blower \ vacuum. It wasn't self propelled. It worked out great during the fall season living in Connecticut. Great video, thank you for the memories.

[@user-uz1yv2oc9v]

Sold, I want one. Really ate those pine cones. I have lots of chestnuts, this would help with the cleanup

[@chubbyjohnson5480]

Good to see you on this fine Sunday, Mustie!

Thanks for another good one Mr. Mustie! Always great to see another machine come back to life that was given up for dead!

I wish I had 2 of those things… one for both my boys. We’d have this place looking respectable in short order.😂 Man, I love this channel and this is like one of the old videos.👍🏼

[@LCStL1]

was 4th thumbs up - I got a used Craftsman chipper at a yard sale @ 20 yr ago, $200. It's a stationary model, we'd rake/blow the leaves into piles or rows, drop the chute, then feed the machine. The mobile version would be a bit less work, I believe. (Mine has solid tires.)

[@williamrobinson146]

And now you need a remote control set up! Good Video!

[@1tristan1henderson1]

Good morning, Mustie fans. Thanks for the content and hours of enjoyment, Darren.

[@KubotaManDan]

Great example of how to service a Tecumseh carburetor, I just gave an original "Garden Way" Troybuilt tiller to a friend and recommended he watch this video on how to service this carb. Perfect timing!

[@Bigguy_33]

Amazing how well made things use to be .

[@j.w.3345]

I just picked one up Yesterday! Different brand, same machine. Just about to go work on it, but I think I'll watch you first. Great timing!!

Sunday morning alone time with a cup of coffee and a Mustie video!

[@reneneron2971]

I have a YardVac Junior (now out of business) that my dad bought used for $10 in the 70’s. The aluminum housing was eroded from using the vacuum with sand from operating it in Florida that he had repaired at the time. I still have it and it works very well 50 years later, i had replaced the original engine in the early 90’s as i got tired or replacing the points. Blowers have largely replaced gas vacuums, but the vacuums work great (removing glass clippings and leaves from edged paved surfaces) and move material into a bag rather than just blowing it around.

[@Adam_Lynn]

Coffee - Check Mustie Video - Check Slippers on - Check Log fire lit - Check Sorted.

[@kenthresh3350]

I hear you about the tires. Where I work, there are several hand trucks which are never used because they have flat tires. We went through a long period disconnected from our network, so I offered to take them home and fix them a few at a time because I have the experience and tools. Nope, the mechanics, who can't keep up with the truck maintenance and repair will do it. I have not actually checked in the last several months, but I wager they are unchanged. Got to say I love my tubeless mountain bike tires, though.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

Just surreptitiously borrow a few, repair them then take them back when nobody is looking and don't say a word. They may guess it was you but deny everything! 🙂

[@A.T.C.]

Only Mustie one could make a remote control chipper Vac machine😅😅😅 1:04

Another fascinating video. Made my Sunday morning! Thanks.

[@martinmarrero3996]

I watch mustie on my TV and it plays countless hours of videos so it's mustie until football and then I watch it on my phone to see what I missed lol great video as always

[@ProlificInvention]

Good ol' *Mustie1* on a Sunday morning...I had an idea while watching: You could place this behind your shop with a hose coming inside through a wall flange, then the suction could be used for extended supplemental ventilation like if you were troubleshooting or first starting old vehicles repeatedly. These move around 2000cfm, and with it outside you wouldn't hear it running too loudly.

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing.👍

[@WisconsinWanderer]

Always a bonus when i get a little mustie in my coffee😊Thanks big D

[@jasonpalmer1552]

I restored a machine similar to this with hopes it would solve all my lawn cleanup woes lol. The little chipper is useless. Any stick wider than an inch just chokes. The vacuum doesn't pick up acorns. It isn't as efficient with leaves as a backpack blower. Still on the lookout for one with a large flexible hose. That will at least help me clean up tough to get to areas where I can't just hit it with my blower, like my garden.

[@terryfromsouthcarolina4601]

Mustie, knock the bearings out of the rim. Find a pulley or other hub that has a keyway in it. Turn it down until it fits snugly in the rim. Weld the sleeve to the rim. Fixed! Don't forget to put the key in. That's what I would do....LOL! Cheers Terry

[@tomtruesdale6901]

That machine is a beast. I was LMAO when you showed it driving by itself. I bet if you dropped the front so it is only an inch or so above the ground it would pick up everything.

[@unclegreybeard3969]

All that leaf mulch in the bag would be perfect mixed 50/50 with grass clippings for a high grade compost.

[@churangos]

You always do a great job fixing thing thank you for showing this videos have a great day

Amazing all the stuff/stock you have collected over the years Really respect all your knowledge and experience you have Hope your health condition is better. CPL

[@JanneRanta]

With that hose setup you could use this as a shop vac and evict mice with style and power! :D

Ghost ridding the leaf vac had me dying.

[@gnpeeps]

We should call this the "Let's Ummm" channel. Haha😂

[@thelazyfishkeeper2730]

just for laughs, you should have filmed you chasing after it, and then have it chase you just like in the those old B&W films.

[@joedominick7517]

Ok Mustie , next make the vac radio controlled! LOL

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Part of the lunacy here is having inner tubes with solid, one-piece wheels where two-piece or split rims should be the norm. MUCH easier to service.

[@leosweeney7955]

Sorry to disappoint, nest aren't just a "your area thing", LOL, I've done this type of work in DE and TN, we have that issue also!!!!!

[@captainover-tighten6729]

That's the cat's ass! Especially loved the sans-operator clips. Great job once again. BTW you must live in the yard sale mecca. Always finding gems.

[@bensmith4563]

I can't help but wonder if filling the tube with great stuff foam or some other expanding spray foam would be a reasonable solution to flat tires on stuff like this

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

We have the same problem here in S.E. Arizona. You park something for a week and the rodents move in. My neighbor just shelled out $1,400.00 for rodent damage repair to his van.

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

It seems it would help to have either a rubber or bristled skirt around the vac head to help lift material

[@oldcars46]

You better watch out that bolt might make that tire really out of bounds it's been so fast lol

[@mcsaffold]

Thought I saw light in the hose where the big mouse nest was removed. Hope the hose has full vacuum suction.

[@paint52]

I had a similar machine- Billy Goat which was useless as a vac. We used the vac tube much more.
