Can I Fix This Obsolete BLOWN UP Transmission? Let's Find Out

[@mattchastain4269]

This thing is fantastic! The lights on the front reminds me of the old Speed Buggy cartoon back in the day. 😁

[@Daddyrabbit_2]

I had one of those with a little Cox engine in the 70s! Man I'm getting old 😂!

[@patjohnson3100]

I really appreciate TD s mechanical skills. The Heald Is an all American specialty vintage vehicle that fell into the right hands. It's running and useful again with some improvements that dont ruin its character. I'm glad the transmission didn't have major damage.

[@donmoore7785]

I have a '74 Simplicity 10 HP 3-speed manual tractor, and after rebuilding the transmission, bevel gear box, and axle 20 years ago now, I consciously try not to abuse the tractor. Too many unobtainable parts and I don't know if I could find another donor transmission. Glad to see this was only a key. That transmission looks pretty well designed.

[@Robbie..Ha-Navi]

watch mud mower videos. these guys build them

[@larrycroft470]

Mr. Dactyl your "youthful" spirit is a huge part of your overall charm. It is part and parcel of why you & your talented family have succeeded with your channel. Sometimes that same spirit leads us afoul of physics!! Great video as usual. All my best to you and your family.

[@powderriver2424]

I’m pretty impressed with the gear works in that, surprisingly it looks pretty well built something from the past for sure it wold be too costly to build that today.

[@bernardlist8982]

Receiver hitch si you could pull a small trailer or dump cart

[@jamesadams2333]

I’m glad everything went well and the repair succeeded! Amazing work again Taryl!

[@stevekehr6768]

You HAVE inspired me! Now I just need to find one to fix up. I need a rig like that for wood hauling and yard work. Definitely need the cold drink holders 👍

[@josephsteffen2378]

Resurrecting any old one of them would be cool...and another great KZbin experience. I hope that you share. Even modifying a modern UTV is juicy. Yeah! Rolling out of yir garage and doing yard work...like a BOSS! A rig with every tool necessary, at a arms length, would save half the work and time. ...more time to golf.

[@martinengland6966]

I have a VT-840 Super Bronc that has a HM80 Tecumseh in it with a 40 series Comet torque converter in it. It used to be a VT-812 with a 30 series torque converter in it, but it was too many horses for the 30 series torque converter. I like it much better after that improvement. I bought it and put it together in about 1980. We also have a Super Tryke that had a 11hp Briggs until the plastic governor gear broke. The weights that were on the governor then broke the piston skirt off and went through the timing gears creating much carnage. I decided to repower the tryke with a 13hp Honda clone and have been very happy with it. We still use them both around our dairy farm. Ron Kimball used to work for Carl Heald. He started a company called Power Tec that sold many parts for them. I have bought parts from him, but I do not know if he still does or not. Ron told me he helped nail the doors shut when Carl Heald closed.

[@MatthewHolevinski]

Hi Martin, I have basically the same hauler as Taryl, except mine has the dump truck bed thing. I am not a mechanic, but when I opened my comet fnr it looks like a nuclear bomb went off inside, I wish it was just a key. All the gears are chewed up beyond recognition and all the planetaries in that differential thing are in millions of little pieces. You wouldn't happen to know what I should look for to replace it with would you? The original motor is long gone and someone scabbed in one of those predator vc660(?) engines into it. I had to cut both axles(?) off just to get it out to look at it because everything was welded to every other thing.

[@iamburl2667]

Taryl you inspire us always jr, uncle Andy , ronnie, taryl, your cousin , your whole staff that we appreciate and don't forget elkskin great family all you are to us

[@barryewalt5368]

Good video

[@waynebrown5428]

You did a Great job with that machine.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Taryl, all you need now is a roof and a windshield. That will help when it's cold, snowing or raining. Great video my friends.

[@transmitterguy478]

I need one of those for my house and yardwork.

[@mikeg.6767]

Nice job now all you need is a power Inverter and a Stereo BBQ grill and a mini fridge to keep the beverages cold .

[@sewing1243]

Taryl's definition of "easy" is different than the dictionary definition.

[@georgewallace3106]

Looks great taryl and you gave me some good ideas for my lawnmower trailer, I have some of the plastic soda creates I wasn't sure what to use them for but now I do . Thanks again for sharing.

[@tetreaulthank4068]

I believed when you’re wheel came off the ground then came back down and re-connected with the grounds you snapped a gear in the trans but happy it was only a key ! Beautiful job Taryl

[@mrpotatoheadracing]

I seen it when it started shearing. It went up on two wheels and you were still on the gass when it came down. Seen stuff like that many, many times over the years in my shop. Especially with open differentials and locking differentials (Detroit lockers.) You get one wheel spining and suddenly get traction and POW!!!

[@andysukosd8177]

Great video, love watching.

[@davidcoudriet8439]

It's a cool lil machine. Nice job!

[@audreybarnes6527]

That's a great little red monster 💪

[@dougkubash8673]

You got the Heald Hauler looking good. The factory used to be north of Benton Harbor, MI off of Blue Star Highway. Heald made some pretty cool mini bikes too.

[@jlawlar]

nice job guys , looks good

[@josephsteffen2378]

When you had it on two wheels and came down(hammered it hard), you shock loaded the drive train. That's what shattered the woodruff key. Hey, it did its job! So what, GOTA HAVE FUN.

[@donparker8246]

I wonder how many of these were junked for the same reason. Glad it was an easy fix. 😁👍

[@Bassguitarist1985]

Great job Taryl! Thankfully it was just a simple woodruff key!!

[@kevinmoreland5031]

Awesome little machine. Be cool to have some type of electric lift actuator for the dump bed. Love all your videos. Keep em coming.

[@gillesgueret8191]

Yeah a couple of linear motors would do the trick..... I thought that too when I saw the bed up.

[@oldgadget1]

That gridded basket is clever ..

[@mikefisc9989]

Great video series. Thank you Taryl. Looking forward to the next fuel additive update video.

[@mightydub6459]

I think....I am nearly excited with the add ons.. I must have it.

[@FatHulkRideEbike]

Looks good! Nice work!!

[@BrettJ.]

Nice job Tayrl

[@troybarnes1572]

Love the Heald Hauler. All the work you've done is great. You sure Get Er Done Taryl. Tina Turner said that we don't need another hero...but, you're my hero! Your channel is great and so are you. Rust never sleeps. And there's yer dinner

[@DRock70]

That’s Bang Bang Job

[@rickthelian2215]

Driven like you stole it....😀

[@myleslawncare4153]

That thing is awesome

[@holyspiritspeak]

Nice buggy. Needs a canopy to keep the hot sun off yer head.

[@hernandovillamarinbuenaven7476]

Awsome!!; Many congrats on your 'Nth' rebuild!; We DO hope you enjoy your NEW 'Custom Heald Hauler', which BTW, looks beautiful, runs great, specially after the, (thanks God!), easy to fix damage. Thank you & Family + friends for sharing such a great attitude & unbelievable creativity!!.. 🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@FOOKYOUTUBENUMBERS]

Fooking Great work Tarly I just Love this channel best on the interscreen Big Hi from UK, Mick says Hi or Lo!

[@thomascassler4406]

[@peteosinga8845]

Newkey newkey sounds exciting

[@chainsawchips]

I saw ya eyeballin that puddle after you said you were gonna "take it easy". I know ya wanted to.😉

[@brentsmith5647]

Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Sludge73]

I used a Stihl saw scabbard to mount on my tractor fender to stow my saw. Great video. Cheap fix. Thanks for sharing.

[@nicolec7290]

Goes pretty fast

[@josephbrinkley7572]

Love your videos bro. Thanks Florida Joe

[@M70ACARRY]

Very nice. I need a battle wagon like that. So cool!

[@countfloyd4345]

You need a cb radio with a 12 foot whip

[@delanebaumchen5608]

I have a 1978 heals hauler. Mine is a 3 wheeler. I also put a tilt trim unit off an old mercury for a hydraulic lift for the box.

[@jasonk5979]

It really looks well built. Looks like it could take some abuse. Probably is impossible to find parts for it.

[@docdew50]

And theirs your dinner. Love you man.

[@KM-vc2yp]

Pretty cool setup

[@welderteach]

Great video! I’m just about to take at a project like this. Same machine with a lot of small issues that need addressed.

[@ProlificInvention]

Awesome video

[@phil36135]

Now you need to mount you a 50 caliber simi automatic on the back to take care of the 2 legged varmints and such lol

[@melgiannino2513]

Hi Taryl, I have been watching your channel and I have really enjoyed your expertise and your comedy. Well done! I would really enjoy and also feel that others who watch would like to know what your favorite oils, solvents and other shop liquids are Keep up the good work! Thanks.

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

Broken becomes a Taryl fixes all. GO TARYL GO. If he cant fix it no one can. Huh HUh. Grass rats know

[@robertmailhos8159]

You were going forward,s In reverse 😂😅🤣

[@AM-mr3kt]

Well Taryl, you Hauler looks great, I have one not nearly as nice, but I'm working on it. Got it a couple of years back from someone who thought they knew what they were doing. I have to start out with a complete rewire and then move on to the drive system. The previous "mechanic" turned the rear axle around and tried to direct drive with a mini bike clutch... didn't work (LOL). Soon as I find the schematic I can start on the wiring. Now you said in your video here that you think you are done with your hauler, but you know better than that, those of us that tinker are never finished ... just takin a break...

[@fair2middlin]

You really prove you are a genius with that transmission

[@daveb3910]

That's why keys are soft steel, so they can smear them be replaced. Great job

[@ChrisStokes07]

Woooooooo! There's your dinner! Woooooooo!

[@williamsouthworth5275]

Looks good now! You should be good for another 100,000.0 peoples Yards. To Terf!

[@PuchMaxi]

Nice, now you only need a snowplow to go on the front.

[@LongWalkerActual]

I see an opportunity to upgrade to all wheel drive!!

[@charlesangell_bulmtl]

I prefer welded nuts to Nutserts. They shrink to a nice tight fit when cooled...A light grease on threads is recommended.

[@badmonkey3669]

You keep adding stuff to it and pretty soon it will be the space shuttle :)

[@stripersniper1531]

That’s a nice little buggy T.Great ideas with the storage too. Overall I’m pressed with your work.And I’m a ole Salty Bastard !

[@MrTehudson]

oh that's what i was doing wasn't i lol i was thinking that the whole video lol didn't see front signal but must have not noticed ill watch again

[@mr1pearl]

I'm glad it wasn't terminal !

[@billmalec]

The Heald is healed.

[@JeffBishop_KB3QMT]

Didn't "Comet" make cheap centrifugal clutches back in the day?

[@singncarpenter6270]

More proof that Taryl actually does fix all than gives us our dinner.😄

[@michaelglynn2638]

You made a great utility vehicle there, and looks the part too. Go easy on it😆

[@makattak3550]

That U bolt will be good for Ronnie's neck!

[@IFIXCASTLES]

Nut rivets are ok until they start spinning because sheet metal is rusted around insert. You did a great job on this thing!👍👍👍!!!

[@kastbarg]

I agree but I still like to use them so I can say "My Nutsert ! "

[@rheidtech]

Dos nuts!

[@honklerton732]

Really cool hauler Taryl... very nice man!!! You going to get another Heald Mini Bike?

[@kevinbrooks1104]

Gosh that would be awesome to own , I take care of a cemetery with 127 ackers of grounds. Nice little rig for maintenance

[@deanmoore420]

Nice job I like how do you fix the transmission👍

[@rrrr635]

I would have liked to see MORE details about the tear down and repair. More "DIY. please.

[@carolinaprepper540]

thats too cool !!!!

[@mikespain8655]

If only hydro and hydrostatic pumps were that easy to remove and replace and repair.

[@haroldlamble5163]

Hey teryl you look like your having a ball on your new toy .

[@Fatboy.25]

Don’t forget the rear mudflaps

[@jdmccorful]

Lookin Snazzy!! Enjoyed watching, thanks.

[@dickdummar8508]

Very good job !!! Do you think you can put a roof on it?

[@steveperyer4850]

Great job buddy! The Comet Corporation built some great CVT and gear transmissions for Utv, snowmobiles etc.

[@not2fast4u2c]

I want to see some engine mods More HP

[@joeortiz3455]

Taryl said nut sert! Tee hee heee!

[@tristanmcnabb2741]

Haha 😅 allsome work guys from cruzermans inventions 😁👌👍🎉🌟

[@countrygentleman4084]

Turd polishing 😂

[@patriciatess]

I Like that Hot Rod

[@onepingonlyvasily]

Needs another taillight on right rear to balance out the look.

[@markraymond1196]

Hey terrell. The old skidoo alpines had a forward and reverse trans kinda like that you might want to research that

[@kennethbode2017]

I'm waiting for the convertable top and windshield

[@JB-ro3sz]

I have a cushman with the same comet trans in it, i replaced all the bearings in it several years ago.

[@abdalqadr1]

Smart smart man

[@raymorrison5006]

Might be able to get a golf cart transmission to work on it if it breaks again
