Dirty Dozen - Mount the Compressor!

[@user-pf6sn8rd2l]

Ken, we really don't care what you're doing! Watching you brings back fond memories of hanging out with my Arkie uncles when I was a kid. I picked up a lot of common sense listening to their stories and watching them figure things out. We enjoy visiting with you for the same reasons. No propaganda or hidden hidden agenda; just time spent with a favorite uncle making honest mistakes and figuring things out. Just keep doing you, and we'll be ready to visit when you get back. Take care of yourself!

[@philpartin8618]

I don't know about anyone else but I watch this channel to see you and what your up to. Your the real deal. Just a guy enjoying a good hobby. Not building 50k drag cars etc. Hang in there Ken. We're here for YOU. Stay healthy.

[@gcampbell816]

DW got implants 15 years ago. Best thing she ever did. Hope you heal quickly.

[@dlaforce1963]

Praying for fast healing and minimal pain. Take your time, we’ll be here when you’re ready.

"NEEDLE GUN" ... Used them BUNCHES for taking off BARNACLES, MARINE GROWTH, RUST & PAINT in boat haulouts❗The ones I used were a cheaper brand with a "PISTOL GRIP" ... They all go through the "NEEDLES" fairly fast so it's good to have some in reserve‼

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

"If it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all". Man, when it rains it pours! Hang in there Waylon, spring is coming!

[@mickburns5546]

Well I’ve been following your channel for about five years. I find it all interesting. I can never get over how you guys put up with your winters. I’m 65 and live Just north of Sydney Australia. I’ve NEVER seen snow ( nor do I want to) and haven’t worn long pants for about thirty years. Keep em coming,Ken 😊

[@non-nefarious]

Be it good, bad or indifferent, I like how you keep pluggin' along.👍 Keep on recording and I'll keep on watching.

[@buckeyejim2989]

🗿💨 according to my calendar of classics, ive been coming here for goin on 9yrs. Wow. Win lose or draw, it's good seeing the dirty dozen getting some attention. Thanks for sharing Ken🙏👍

[@timothymerritt620]

I ended up in a hospital in Tri-cities Washington back in October of 2016 , I was flat on my back for 38 days and started watching 63 Impala been entertained by you ever since so keep up the good work no matter how tedious it gets.

[@keithwood4297]

Ken, the D2 governor controls the compressor. It uses a small air line from the tank to sense system pressure , then at the set PSI it puts air pressure into the center port of those three holes. This holds the valves open so the compressor stops building air pressure until the system pressure drops back down to the low set pressure. You also need a good check valve where the air compressor goes into the tanks. Look up D2 governor plumbing, there are lots of good diagrams

[@cycleguy666]

Use diesel or winterized diesel in your jet heater!! Works good!! 💪 Kerosene is wayyyy too expensive!! 😊

[@bobbofly]

Yep, I've run it in wick types as well. No issues at all.

[@johnharrold6359]

You and Rpeek were who I started watching first, probably 7 or 8 years ago. Once you get to know someone, you tend to watch because of the personal connection. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing Ratrod and hotrod content but your artwork, the red truck, your cat, and even your day to day are of interest. Keep on DOIN.

[@dennisthurston727]

Best of luck on your dental work and get good rest. Also youve got to help on old red so that frees up the lift c u in a couple of weeks. Love your channel. ❤ your channel shows what real life is. Sometimes your the windshield and sometimes your the bug.. 😂

[@cycleguy666]

Keep the Hits coming Ken!! We're digging it!!

[@garycallahan7867]

Those that don’t do anything never make a mistake. Those that do learn and keep moving forward. Life happens, thanks for keeping it real.

[@johnblue9806]

The thing about your video, it's real no sugar coating. That's what is loved about them and the old iton is a bonus... Thank you for being real and ture to what you do. The good and the bad...

[@ollyalme]

The older I get, the more I seem to appreciate old iron. A combination of sentimentality and nose for _quality_ I guess. So, I watch Ken work on his old iron and time flies.

[@oviliaguilmette9424]

I personally love watching everything you put out as content it all makes you more personable not just the old iron but the tree grafting the snow removal the busted pipes the laundry the cat thee fish the art it all tells a story of you and what you do.DONT CHANGE A THING IF YOU FILM IT IT WILL BE WATCHED EVEN IF ITS ONLY ME WATCHING.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

haha.. i appreciate your loyalty but thats the problem..if only you watch.. I can't afford to do this.. haha

[@oviliaguilmette9424]

I know, but in the end it wont be just me. Most people just forget to like and subscribe. I truly hope for your continued success in all your endeavors.

[@davelester7357]

Thank you for posting your videos, I greatly appreciate it and love to see the things you are sharing and have learned so much from you. What I don't really don't understand is why people don't "smash" that like button. Thank you

[@steveaw5895]

The way I see it,the channel’s about the adventures and misadventures of one Kenn aka Waylon wire. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing grafting videos.

[@Country-Marshal]

You're right. It's all about hangin out with a great guy. One who lives life the way we do. One day at a time. Sometimes we take our lumps and somedays we get by with out em. We like those days best. Lol. Plus we learn from each other, what works for you and seeing how you worked through it, may help one of us if we've never dealt with that situation. It's all worth watchin if ask me, but hell, what do I know... Keep em comin, I'm rootin fer ya.

[@markrobertson9015]

Cool on the old Rat Rod Dirty Dozen. While your off for a while. You can play that old slide tune. Sounds a little like Robert Johnson. Stay safe and good luck with your surgery.Take care.

[@Chillituber]

You gotta know that we are here to see what you are up to and your commentary. Keep on doing what makes you happy!

[@mixerman1]

That old brass gauge is awesome, like to see the rest of it stripped and polished. Sure do 'preciate you

[@rayeddy528]

How'd Ken ! Thank you for the update!! As I have said in the past "Thank you for sharing your journey" !!! To me Ken that means your life!!! The ups and the downs, the good, the bad , and the ugly !!! I am here for it all, whatever you want to produce!! I will be praying for you my friend!!!! I am 72 years old and feel your pain ! My Dad and Mom died with Alzheimer's and I am a little concerned but God is in control. God bless you and I appreciate you !!!! Eddy

[@k13ehr]

I hope your surgery goes well Ken and you recover quickly old friend with no complications.

[@nathanhawkins4108]

Waylon man I can’t watch everything but I’ll watch what I can. I really enjoy your channel just keep doing what you’re doing 👍

[@jonoffensend7519]

Keep it real, we all have problems and once in a while and it’s good to realize that sometimes there is someone that has the same run of bad luck and you know ? Everything usually turns out fine 👍😁🎩

[@stucook8622]

Thanks Waylon! I appreciate you!

[@tedgrooms8466]

Glad your ok Waylon. We were checking to see if you were ok or what was going on. We kind of figured maybe you were just doubling down on your red truck.

[@chriscater812]

Good luck at the sawbones and I hate it when things come apart from together!😎

[@lateefcarrere1649]

I'm glad to see you working on the Dirty Dozen as well. But I'm here for all of it. Upload when you can, and take care of yourself.👍

[@deaneads3098]

I use liquid tape on the fitting work great. And I've had your video show up before and being a truck driver waited till stopped and unloading and video was taken down I've always blamed KZbin for it. I'm retired now so not as bad . That's a plus now....

[@Ruststored]

Well Ken I always said if you're not making mistakes, you're not doing anything. Dirty dozen looking better. Good luck with the painless pole.

[@JimmyMack-jj2vg]

Letting us in on The Life and times of Waylon wire is pretty damn good love you brother life ain't always a 916 1/2 inch wrench😂❤

[@MoondyneJoe]

Ken I don't think you realise that we all come to see what you are up to, from the shock of your medical problems a few years ago and how many of us care about you, to your building of the dogelac and its adventures (my favourite vehicle So far) to your music and chevoholics background pics (hi Matt) what you get up to is part of the warp and weft of the fabric (you like that?) of your life and goings on, it's why we click with some KZbinrs and not others It is the personality of them all Don't change a bit mate in your audience you have a wide vision of abilities and knowledge that you can call upon for how to or where to or support people's willing too assist even if it is in knowledge only, which can be huge, we care or we wouldn't be here! Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video Ken. I appreciate any video you take the time to produce. Life happens for us all so I enjoy all your videos. Gasoila is some good stuff. Sorry you've had so much water and appliance problems and along with getting cut. That is some cool items to add to the Dozen. I guess it would be a ton of work to make the hood tilt forward so you could open it for service and at shows. Then that cool looking compressor can be seen. Good thing you caught your air compressor before it fell completely off. Thanks for the video. I'll pray your surgery goes well and you make a speedy recovery. You be safe and God bless.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

its just a couple of bolts to tilt the front open

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Wishing you the best on the dental work Ken! Enjoyed the video my friend 🔧🔩

[@jimschafer9196]

Great update and its so true what we have happen in out lives can encourage others -- Great how to video see you after your teeth restor modifications - Love you W.W God Speed in your recovery.

[@robertwells1650]

Keep the videos coming when you can! Good luck with your dental surgery. Cheers

[@randomyank7777]

You are keeping it real , Ken . Life happens , & when we catch up to it , well then we have time to tinker . I admit you had me gut rolling with that whole mind-twisted to get back your Mo-Jo bit . I sure do appreciate knowing that I'm not the only one who feels that way . I reckon there's more than a few who watch you , has the same "problem" , ha ha . To check that water jacket flow , in-out , just put a little air through the pipe you are sure of , then feel around for where it comes out . I would think the high point is out , & the lower point is cool water in . Those were some really fine pieces , perfect for that Dozen . I should think there is something out there on those inter-webs on that Bendix unit , for hook ups & applications , especially if big rigs used them . Good luck with that , & your teeth . I'll be praying for ya , brother . I tend to like my Waylon Wire's Old Iron , & random house issues . It's got a fair bit of everything , & includes a healthy dose of reality . You take care now , Ken . Get back to us when you can . God bless .

[@kilroysmith6539]

Sorry to say my friend your misery is our entertainment. It helps us forget our trials and tribulations. Keep showing your fails we will watch them.

[@pack1send1]

I always enjoy watching your content Ken and as long as you can keep posting your content I will continue watching. Oh KZbin launched on February 14 2005 almost a long long time ago lol. The Dirty Dozen is getting cooler looking on each and every video you post on it.

[@randyhughes5160]

I sure enjoy watching your videos I have for years I’m a disabled vet when my truck breaks it take me months not days to fix it but I have more time than money I have a lot stories where something that should be simple are just wrong and some take days to fix tools that were supposed to come ready I don’t know about things today every thing is built as cheap as possible engines or pushed to the max and reliably is horrible

[@wjhjr1415]

Wow! That scaler is a score.

[@dougkruse1301]

All your videos are fun and interesting to watch, keep them coming.

[@RogersFixItBarn]

Hey Ken just blow a little air in the brass fitting and see where it comes out to find the water return. I would think it will be the elbow that is open.

[@cheeseburger9232]

Maybe you have to do more DIY around the house videos lol.

[@daviddamico4288]

I think that is going to work great Waylon, good luck with your surgery.see you soon.. take care ..

[@jamesbickford282]

Thanks for what you do Waylon! Hope your healin up well. God bless.

[@cari-joanjameson2989]

Thanks for sharing Waylon. For me it doesn't matter what you're getting up to. It's just fun hanging out with ya and watching you solve the problems of the day. Just a thought. Couldn't you just poor some water into the top of the compressor and see where it comes back out? Anyway thanks again. I look forward to seeing whatever you send our way next friend.

[@crash4me719]

I ALWAYS enjoy your videos, no matter the subject. I use tape on air tools and CAREFULLY apply it!

[@joellekarma]

Great video. I so enjoy the Dirty Dozen. Keep up the great work.

[@darrenberry3456]

Keep on keeping on , love your videos and you as a person !!!

Thank you for another good one Waylon I’ll put in a few words of prayer that everything goes good with the grocery grinders see you next time

[@johnwilkinson6067]

your life story waylon when it rains it pours you just have to take it in strides lol

[@eltay3]

Good luck with the dental work. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@BestKaylee]

I really enjoy watching you work Waylon. You might try shooting some compressed air into the elbow fitting and see if it comes out the brass hose fitting. Keep up the good work.

[@chrisluzny2222]

Ken some of the most things I enjoy about your videos is the music you add,the guitar solo in this video reminds me of a guy doing his best working alone and in his own way,keep up the good job and I even enjoy some of waylonwires pickin' and asingin' !

[@lizsain9582]

So glad you are taking care of yourself! We want you happy and healthy.

[@reggiedennison6207]

Good luck on your implants and I look forward to seeing you when you get back. Keep up the good work Waylon. I sure do ppreciate ya

[@bcbloc02]

I believe there is an air inlet in the head as one of those fittings. then the other one would be the out and the one lower down is the in for the water.

[@ronjohnstonaustralia2417]

Keep up tbe good work Ken.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

I figured you enjoyed cutting those holes in the wrong place so much that you decided to do it a second time. I often perfect my skills by doing the same job over and over again unnecessarily. Great fun in the shop.

[@gcampbell816]

Brother, a wise man would have left the water running.lol Always watch your tunes. Best wishes.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

yes I admitted in the last video that i was in a hurry to an appointment and forgot to leave the water running but the worst frozen broken pipes were discontinued to an old sink and were capped off so I couldn't leave the water running on them.. but now I'll disconnect them at the hot water tank.

[@wjhjr1415]

I think the compressor video will do well. Very interesting.

[@Gearswapper]

Ken your a joy to see on any kind of video, love it all.. Keep going old friend, Look forward to all you give us.. God Bless. Hey I did email you on that compressor I don’t know what’s going on but you must not be getting my emails 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

it was a youtuber named nzsaltflatracer8054 I was asking to email me. maybe he'll see this video haha.

[@Chillituber]

Hope and pray that you recover quickly. We'll be here wait'in for you.

[@user-ll9jt9jc3z]

Waylon, be sure that the oil return line empties back into the pan above the oil level or oil will backup in the pump and cause problems. cold water should go in the bottom of the air pump and out the top with in and out being on opposite ends of the compressor. Also the comp. should be able to turn ether direction

[@darin5250]

Just a FYI I run diesel in my kerosene heater. Seen it on youtube. They said mix one gallon of gas to 4 gallons of diesel. So I tried it and had no problems.

[@mikekokomomike]

One of my dad's sayings was, "When a dentist looks in your mouth, he is looking into a gold mine".

[@cyclemaster46]

That is BIG IRON. Just noticed the size of the dirty dozen..

[@rickpatterson7438]

Like spending time with a friend.

[@garywormsbecher2370]

I would think cold water in on lower back fitting with the hot water out the top kind of like the same way an engine flows to cool. I'm not a truck mechanic so I don't deal with those style compressors but it sounds right. Hope this helps and that you have a good speedy recovery.

[@richardlincoln8438]

I have heard that a comment helps titillate the algorithm so that is what this is about Waylon. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.

[@hiramwilson3438]

Prayers for speedy recovery 🙏

[@bossbuick8615]

the side load on the waterpump bearing would worry me with the front pully being so far forward

[@slipperyjk]

Big fan of the channel Ken! Good luck with the implants

[@bobtucker8875]

I had them inplants done late Dec. They say it's a three month healing before I get my teeth in. Boy I sure can't wait. It's been years since I've had top teeth 😔. Thanks 👍 for sharing.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

its like having your real teeth.. you'll love it but you have to floss those implants and take good care of them.. if you clinch and grind your teeth at night, get a night guard.. the guy explained grinding on the implants like hitting a piece of rebar in concrete..eventually the concrete will start to break up around the rebar.. ive had 3 implants fail.. so new bone grafts and then new implants..thats what im doing now $$$$$$$$!!!!!

[@stevehetrick2676]

Great way of mounting your air compressor. 👍 Was sure you'd get it figured out. Moving forward one step at a time. Your procedure for your teeth just sounds painful. Ouch. Good luck.

[@shanewright6958]

Looking good 👍👍

Ken, Prayers are with on the implants. Hope to see your videos soon

Red diesel is the way to go on those heaters.

[@rickaccount]

Another excellent video! And hey I’m on the road to implants as well… it’s a process! Wishing you the best…

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

before you have the implant surgery.. get some stuff called arnacare.. it works GREAT for keeping down the bruising and swelling.. I used it this time around and i was amazed! I have a little bruise under one eye. thats it.. last time my whole face turned black and blue

[@tertessa]

Good luck on your upcoming surgery 🙏

[@wadepreston5298]

I enjoyed that last video! I've been hoping you would post a little about grafting, i find it very interesting!!
