He's talking crap , he can't tell the between a flatbed truck and a dumptruck. He'll I bet it hasn't even got the pto to operate the hydraulic cylinders for a tipper. Old school my butt.

The world might be going to hell but it’s great to see something as simple and enjoyable as old machinery brought to life again by Bruce He could easily be your uncle and his amiable and simple way of explaining things makes enjoyable viewing.

Thanks Bruce & Cameraman🙂

[@billblock8090]

Bruce, I know you are pretty busy, I just wish you could do more videos for us. As I mentioned before I am 81, but I learn a lot, watching someone with as much experience as you. I am impressed by the patience you display. Wishing you the best from West Texas.

[@bruceinaus]

Morning Bill, thank you for that. Sometimes these videos are not the easiest to do, braving the rust, sun, wind, rain , wildlife, travelling ect. It can at times also be difficult to line up filming with the cameraman as he is a lot busier than me. If I could make more videos, I would but there are a few constraints so I really do them as and when I can. Bruce

Gooday Bruce! 34 years old from Washington State here. I really related to your friend back in the day who was an absolute champion at stripping off bolts and nuts😂😂 I've been known to have the patience of a orangutan with a 3/4 inch impact gun so these videos really are teaching me a lot

Great video Bruce. I like how the motor didn't run as it proves you are human. You have an amazing knowledge of auto mechanics and you went above and beyond to get the Bedford going. It's almost like I am getting an education watching your videos. Well done Sir!

[@tvorchay]

As I've said before, Bruce you are a heck of a mechanic and engineer with boundless insights. I can't thank you enough for showing a similar trick to the valves, i.e. unsticking Detroit injectors. With your tricks I was able to get my 6V53T injectors unstuck for my project truck. Cheers and great to see you tackling beasts in the field again.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Little bit of work to do on that one ,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

Hai Mr. BRUCE ...hai Australia ...* LONG X NO C ...regards from Kuala Lumpur....! 🎉

[@RODALCO2007]

Brilliant effort anyway, the engine ran briefly and rough. The resistance of the glowing screwdriver would have dropped a few of the 24 Volts to the overheated starter. Great video Bruce. I enjoyed every minute of it. Those bent pushers were probably caused by stuck valves.

[@PilotMcbride]

🤣🤣🤣 the old burly Bedfords, Austins & BMCs great fun to drive. At various times back in the 60s & 70s ( as kids) we used to use them to take harvest grain to the silos. The old Austins were crash boxes, but a joy to drive. It was this experience where I learned that a clutch was only used for starting roll, after that rev matching. Later got my Army HV license and I freaked the instructor out when we jumped in an old crash box Stud and never crunched the gears, they were still in service (sort of) back then being petrol fuelled, alternate fuelling just in case and had to driven every 12 months. Thanks for posting Bruce, great stuff 👋👋👋

[@edm4847]

Bruce is back rocking the Hawaiian shirt! ;) love it from Texas.

[@bruceinaus]

[@flamingskoda]

I really enjoy your videos. There used to be Bedfords everywhere here in 🇬🇧. Great shirt!

[@davesworkshop2714]

Great video, you gave it a good shot! I've often been tempted to go 24V on the stubborn stuff, but I think the trick would be to energise the coil of the solinoid at 12V and give the starter 24. I feel your pain, I had to go to the extreme of doing a rough rebuild on one engine on my channel (Case 1394 full of water) just to get it to run for a will it start 😂

[@tonepilot]

The cameraman has incredibly steady hands. Bravo.

I was about 12 when I went off in the school holidays (UK) with my Uncle he drove a diesel TK just like that one, delivering small loads of sand, ballast, sharp sand and shingle, cement. later he drove an 8 ton TK and then a KM tipper and longwheelbase flatbed. loved every minute of it

[@MartsGarage]

Dogged determination and still it fought back. I'd say technically it did run. I used the tap the rockers method to improve the compression on my mate's Zephyr. It did the trick and we got it running. It was an original idea to me and this is the first time I've heard anyone else mention it. I showed it in a video. Thanks for posting Bruce. Great to see you out there giving it your best shot. All the best, Mart in England.
