Can My Son Fix This Old Mercury?

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Great video, but REALLY great editing, I mean whoever edited this is truly a genius

[@rexkean]

😂😂😂

[@llaeeZ]

Watch it! Shortly JD will do that too!

[@J-High666]

Gotta love cold blooded boats great vid young man and darn good editing.

[@DeadReckon]

A truely oscar winning performance!

[@BuffsGarage]

JD’s a pretty good camera man so my guess is he’ll be an excellent editor too.

[@RoadkillCustoms]

JD is a total champ and clearly eats from the same humor bowl as Dalton. I love how he just gets "tossed in the pool" - and swims!

[@DoctorChrisMartinez]

Nice jeans baby

[@ryanpoortenga4849]

Hell yeah JD, just like the old commercial said "A 460 is a terrible thing to waste".

[@andreasfiska7066]

That is high quality upbringing of the new generation 😊

[@WhiskeyBasket]

Not a single expletive uttered, or tool thrown across the yard out of frustration. Outstanding job, JD!🤣👍

[@nobodyspecial6436]

That’s what editing is for😂😂😂😂😂…. Kidding aside he did a great job…

[@ginozanga2129]

Great job JD, your dad is teaching you well…..

[@7HEATHER7]

Its great to see him figuring things out on his own and sharing his Dad's interests!

[@w.s.m9474]

You got this JD, great job buddy! 👍

[@keithbassett4988]

JD has a better 'can do' attitude than most young people his age. And the fact that he doesn't get discouraged easily and let minor inconveniences deter him shows strong character. He will go far in this world. Great job and keep up the good work.

[@thegotchaman4145]

This kids amazing!! Good on you Dalton for giving him a real chance at a independent life!

[@That70sChannel]

From experience, I know how difficult it is to get something done, film it, and narrate it. . all at the same time. JD is already much better at it than I am. I have a theory that we are all the sum total of our ancestors and it makes sense that JD the son of an electrician would be completely comfortable with electrical gremlins. I hate them. It's hilarious that you send the boy out to work on a car with a red negative ground cable. It's one of those things though that when you learn it the hard way you actually check for that. This was a really good content, seemingly on the fly.

[@Mr49Studebaker]

It's nice to see jd practice on your beaters so when he gets to start driving his actual car he knows what to do.

[@infinity3jif]

This young man's determination allowed him to get this car fixed and running despite him being half sick and the cold and rainy weather didn't help either. Good job kiddo.

[@troykruse5161]

Who else was smiling at 14.44 when the car started? Great job J.D.

[@terrallputnam7979]

I knew this was coming. JD is a smart young man who has been watching his dad revive these old cars and trucks. He will be a force to be reckoned with in the future and will probably have his own KZbin channel. You go JD! You are the man! Great job Dalton raising a son that's NOT a snowflake!

[@tristanmiller1694]

It’s so cool to see a young boy with the knowledge and willingness to learn this stuff. Definitely something you don’t see much anymore. Keep up the good work.

[@sagepone5830]

Man, JD already has the personality down. We seriously need more if him doing these easier revivals. I'd subscribe.

[@adamperry2147]

The exasperated sigh when he dropped the nut for the starter solenoid. I have so been there... Great job!

[@rexkean]

I know... I was thinking of some choice words of aggravation! (I'm sure they popped into JD's head!) 😂

[@tedconroy5074]

I love your comment at the end about self confidence. To many parents holding their kids hands so they can't make a mistake, which stops them from learning.

[@norcalray7182]

Awesome job on the car young man. Keep it up. Dad is doing a great job raising you.

[@southatlantagaragedoors6515]

That's awesome to see JD getting more comfortable in front of the camera and having more confidence. pretty soon he'll be buying and fixing his own cars on his own channel. Great job JD!

[@dustinfrye6202]

He’s a better wrench turner than I am. Great work. Editing wasn’t bad either.

[@justingarrard]

Good job JD I too was once duped by the infamous red ground wire. My Dad chuckled at me as well.

[@chadcoffman1870]

The best way to learn is on something you don’t care about totally a cheap education. Him doing it himself will give him more confidence to work on other projects. This young man has a bright future!

[@wrenchesinmotion3282]

Had to subscribe. Great job JD. You are soaking up knowledge like a sponge. Keep wrenching.

[@larrybreuer4495]

Dalton…I absolutely LOVE the outro… you nailed it. Please let kids be normal kids! 👍👍❤️

[@bloodreighn]

Little man's doing a bang up job, love that he isnt scared of trying and then asking for help, Good Job

[@lonerglide]

Great job JD im sure ur pops is a proud dad👍❤️

[@panikrev175]

Pretty sure every Dad watching this is proud…

[@trolleybarn2614]

Cold, rainy and half sick - but you kept going. I'm proud of you too. Good video!!

[@TazR6]

JD, you are a star! Your ingenuity in trapping the battery terminal to enable you to crack it loose shows forward thinking and intelligence. You learned a whole lot just doing this one job. I do not know you, but man, I sure am proud of you. I cannot even imagine how proud of you your Dad must be. You two share an incredible bond. I hope that there will be more JD hosted uploads in the future. Neil :-)

[@tinystar3010]

I can only imagine how proud of him you are. He did an awesome job and is blessed to be treated with respect like an adult by his family. Kids can't learn being completely smothered and monitored like prison inmates who can't be trusted. He's got a bright future ahead.

[@rubinthomas8586]

This right here is good parenting 👍🏼 I'm really enjoying seeing JD learn. I can see him in about 15 years owning his own shop, being one of the few mechanics still available, and making bank 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@outsidethebarn]

Hope not

[@josephrabant7432]

Great job JD! What I took away from this; don't always trust, verify first(red ground wire) and you can always count on your dad for help, No Matter What!!👍

[@tcanthony2]

Go JD. That’s we all learned. Just fixing junk and making things work with what we had.

[@chevrolet402]

This is how I learned how to work on vehicles and equipment myself JD by jumping in and doing the work and learning from my mistakes. Good job.

[@jeremybayles]

You deserve to be proud of yourself JD. Getting your hands dirty, learning hands on. That’s the way!

[@terrallputnam7979]

Don't worry about making mistakes JD. The steal me box is confusing and I remember having trouble with Ford ignition systems.

[@johnjtrey]

This is incredibly heartwarming. JD, you have a top notch father. I am looking forward to the next video you drop, nothing but smiles and laughs from me JD, keep it up!!!!

[@Niko-RDV]

As somebody that was over-protected and emotionally neglected as a kid, this is awesome, good job dalton

[@SammyFender]

Great job JD! Here’s a bit of life’s wisdom: Don’t ever blame anyone or thing for your mistakes. Always take responsibility. Maybe in the near future since you’re working so much outside, Dad will put up a big tent for you to work under!!!

[@paulfranks9760]

Well done JD you should be proud of yourself, great learning curve.I;m real sure your Dad appreciates you.👍

[@Rob-lv7wo]

Using the power from the light socket for the fuel pump is very smart. I wouldn't of thought of that myself. Great job JD.

[@red_3dp981]

Finally a good mechanic in the barn! Keep up the great work JD

[@ole5539]

Brings back many fond memories of years gone by...

[@CJ_Caster]

I believe JD has a knack for wrenching and KZbin. Glad to see it. It gives me hope that the next generation isn't completely screwed. Keep up the good work fellas! Looking forward to the next one!

[@JDzgarage311]

A smart & young mechanic in the making! Great job troubleshooting and getting that old tank running! Look forward to seeing more.

[@Kerb_side_motors]

We’re proud of you JD, good work 👍🏼🇬🇧

[@Sydthesloth45]

Well done young fella you should be proud of yourself. your old man is raising you right

[@michaelconnor6282]

You’re a better hand around a car than some grown folks I know, LoL…great job JD And great job Dalton for the parenting win 💯

[@robertwest3093]

JD you should be proud of yourself! You’re way ahead of where I was at your age.

[@thqp]

Man, that's so awesome! Love that JD gets to apply what he has learned from his dad, on his own! And he did a really good job! would have LOVED that as a kid!

[@grizzsgarage8360]

Way to go! You didn't give up, but kept on working on it.

[@Zyphire]

He is much more qualified than many professional mechanics I have met.

[@brohon8788]

Way to get right in there and get it done JD. Keep watching your Dad and learning. Can't wait to see your next adventure 👍

[@crystalkarlson5491]

Somebody had been listening to his father....💙 I love this.

[@bungeycord5971]

Thats real dedication to see that through in the cold and dark weather. Great job JD.

[@jeffburnham5231]

JD does a great job! Dalton, you have taught him well! He also has your great sense of humor.

[@Serrath431]

anyone else remember Live Free or Die Hard? When Justin Long's character walls told by Lucy Mclane to grow a pair. He responded "Wow! Its weird hearing that tone come out of a young woman". Obviously I'm paraphrasing a little bit, but its crazy on he sounds exactly how I would picture Dalton as a child. Always love the dynamic between you too.

[@pakdane65]

Great job JD. Your dad has taught you well.

[@mudia107]

Finally a mature person on this channel was getting tired of all the childish jokes😂

[@Orbacron]

The defunct radio comes to life unexpectedly.. alan jackson "mercury blues" starts playing on all the speakers, she's a runner

[@lifequest7453]

I remember what I was told about working with electricity. If the wire is letting the little electric through, it is good. but if the smokes start to escape the wire, it is bad. you want to keep the wire good so the smoke does not leak out. Great job JD. Just to say, my car has one of those Red Negative wires too. Whoever owned the car before me decided a red wire would look prettier on the negative side... Oh what problems that has caused. But honestly JD, you are developing a great trial and error method to trouble shoot a circuit. You start with this one, and if you can keep the smoke in the wire, move on to the next one. You are learning well. Carry on JD, I am enjoying your vids... THUMBS UP

[@wickum_4725]

So awesome seeing him out there...He's a natural in front of the camera with the tools..

[@erikschuddeboom3223]

That young man clearly has top shelf parenting. Good work.

[@paulryan388]

I’m actually proud of JD, can only imagine how you feel 👍🏻

[@OutontheRanchwithDrLee-xb4lo]

GREAT JOB, JD! When I was your age I almost burned my VW up trying to figure out which wire was hot, and which was ground. Now, you'll never make that mistake again! Good job getting the old Merc rolling again! I'm very proud of you! Fun video! A+++++

[@lawrencekedgettjr2364]

Good job JD ,,,,, that’s how my father got me to learn how to work on cars and trucks ,,,,, he sent me out to do it trouble shoot and fix what needed to be fixed ,,,,, and at the age of 55 this month can do a complete suspension , motor ,and transmission work all on my own and save money ,,,,,, grate vid ,,,,,,,,,

[@Mongoose3769]

Keep it up! Definitely chuckled a few times having made all the same mistakes at one point or another. No better way to learn than experience & trial and error.

[@rexkean]

JD, you're awesome! Way to go. You're learning from the b... uh... well, you're learning! 😂 Good job!

[@TurboDog73TX]

Kool deal. It's nice to see JD just getting out there and handling it. Great attitude, no whining, just gettin' it done.

[@Jomhockman101]

When he got it started, made my day. Good job JD. Keep at it buddy.

[@tbidzzzz]

very cool stuff. luv how JD's problem solving techniques are exactly the same as his dads.

[@rickgaine3476]

Nice job building treasured memories. One thing though, as an electrician, it would be a good idea to show JD the basics on electricity and how to use a multimeter to avoid things like direct shorts.

[@shotgunrain1994]

Good job, JD. #RIPJeff

[@bonnieadamic6078]

What a great Job JD . I am at a loss for words be very very proud JD . Your a natural .. Looking forward to more from you .

[@bordercollieinachallenger3933]

Wow JD! I wish I was as smart as you are at your age. I didn't know as much you know until I was in my 20s. Great Job JD. Dalton, you did a fantastic job rearing JD..

[@BuffsGarage]

Well Done JD... You fixed a lot of stuff that we didn't the first time. You're a better mechanic than most already! Can't wait for the next one.

[@TheMrShinagami]

Congrats on a good job well done JD! Don't let the mishap with the electrics put you off, we all make mistakes the trick is to learn from them.

[@rondogwil]

Good job JD. You had a couple hiccups, learned from your mistake, and moved on. Perfect. Keep up the good work. Be safe!

[@jamesmcdonald5868]

JD! You have a really good dad there. Who cares a lot about you? And he takes the time to explain things and get a point across on how to do the basics! To have a father like that in your life is an amazing thing. Because there are so many young people in this world who don't have dads who are part of their life! Listen, always listen to Everything and observe. And never be afraid to ask questions because if you don't. You're never gonna find out! Good job and keep up the excellent work!

[@MiniBikeMike]

Love it when he dropped the starter solenoid nut…..and didn’t move an inch, while watching it fall into the darkness. We’ve all been there. 😂😂

[@brandaneakright6082]

Great job JD you’re doing great, keep up the great work guys.

[@632Harrison]

Great job JD, you are going to be a great mechanic You have a great mindset to figure things out that your dad throws you into Looking forward to seeing more of your work videos

[@michaeltutty1540]

For the battery cables, go to any parts store. Get an 18 inch clamped wire, tte longest clamped wire, the longest wire with loops at both ends and a 12 inch wire with loops at both ends. I always get 1 gauge fir all but the short double loop. 4 gauge is fine. I also get a separate fuse box and eolace those fusible links with the same amperage fuses. Cuts the risk of fire. That is a lovely Marquis Brougham 2 door. Looks well equipped. It is an uncommon car worth fixing properly. The negative batter cable goes to the air pump if there is one. Otherwise there is a flat dpot with a bolt cast into the block behind the alternative.

[@bobbymckenzie3202]

Good job JD...always remember...throttle sticks or breaks go out...neutral, E break, steer 😂

[@larryd.214]

Great job J.D.! Enjoyed watching you get this old rig going again! Keep up the great work!

[@toddreiter3270]

Good job JD. I'm really glad to see that you have an interest in working on cars. Keep trying, every time that you accomplish something new, it's one more thing that you have learned.

[@averykompelien6616]

another prime example of showing a young man how to set the phone down and learn something. JD is a baller! Love the vids from in and out of the barn Dalton and JD!

[@wubber2chc]

I think the “outside the barn” channel now belongs to JD! Great job kid, Keep going!!

[@BradLowrance]

Good job JD! Proud of you! You can definitely hear your dad in some of your sayings!

[@C0TT0NM0UF]

Right on JD! You're learning pretty quickly and i dont think you get enough credit for your filming skills, keep it up🤘

[@Laugh1ngboy]

So next we learn about electrical probes? Congrats JD and don't worry about getting stuck it's after many yeas of getting stuck and unstuck that you learn the basics of driving out of a hole you parked in.

[@CS-oe8og]

JD you should be very proud of yourself!!! Mechanical stuff baffles a lot of adults, a lot. I’m really glad your dad is helping you learn that stuff! It’s also really neat that Jess is helping you out too, she is very sweet. Good job buddy!!!

[@lancemchatton9893]

JD rocks! He is at least 50% of the reason I watch this channel. Maybe even 51% or 83%. Keep it up, JD!

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Great job, JD. It's too bad that car is so crusty because it's actually a nice looking car, and a more solid example would make a cool comfy cruiser.

[@dhjorgenson]

Finally a mechanic on this channel with some quality standards and work ethic!

[@dave.harmon]

JD is definitely your son Dalton, he's like your mini me. Also, we love Jeff, we love Jeff!

[@trevorlahey3863]

HELL YEAH JD!!!!! kid's already a better mechanic than 88.9 percent of PBG's viewers. keep learning, keep wrenching.

[@MultiSpencerc]

"Well it wasn't my fault that the red was ground." Lol. Great video JD! Wish I had half your confidence on some of this stuff!

[@alphamajor0195]

While most 11-12-13 year olds are playing fortnight, JD is doing more and learning on the go, props to him , for real, being able to troubleshoot like that is an important skill to have.

[@mancsblue]

Super impressed with JD And man does he have the same character traits has his dad Keep up the great work JD
