FIRST RUN WITH THE F650 ROLLBACK

[@garyschumacher9867]

Thats why i am reluctant to loan out my equipment too ....... that little skidsteer of yours isnt a cheap machine and the way you take care of stuff i would be embarassed to return it in that condition

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i even dropped it off and picked it up!

[@rkmk1441]

Just a safety tip.. try and get the bed as far forward before you tilt. Never know what could happen! Stay safe my friend!

[@larrybe2900]

Something I prided myself in was to return something I borrowed better than when I received it. For some borrowing is a license to not care at all.

[@ed4709]

I couldn’t have said any better! 👍🏼

[@ptaszek1983]

I agree Larry Be

[@j.c.smithprojects]

it is sad isnt it?

[@ptaszek1983]

Yes it is very sad

[@alnbaba]

lesson of the day never go against your gut instinct, cause it costs you in the end. Invoice him $400 for the damage

[@j.c.smithprojects]

the next time this machine leaves...it will because someone else has bought it.

[@mplante7352]

I work as a mechanic in equipment rental and it's a downward spiral you can't keep anything nice and everything is somebody elses fault or it got there with that damage, best way is to take pictures before and after and charge accordingly , if its too much don't rent or borrow, people don't give 2 shits about other people's property, protect your bottom line. I've work on 318s in way worse condition then that but yeah unless the person is willing to spare his wife as collateral for the machine don't rent/borrow it.

[@dnixon1974dn]

i hate lending stuff out and getting it back trashed.. Nice truck J.C . High heel shoes will fix ya pedal prob. haha..

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i dont think i have the legs for high heels!

[@MrScoresby]

J.C. That is a really full yard of stuff. You must follow the rule if it's not rusted beyond recognition; it will have a use some day for some thing. A rule I follow to the extreme. Much to the distress of my sister with whom I share the house. Fortunately it's two levels hers upstairs mine in the lower level 1600 sq. ft. of teenage boy's bedroom and proud of it. Very few visitors are allowed down stairs. This pack rat is also a prepper by default with over a years supply of food and fuel to run the generator for 3 months if only maintaining the LED lights, battery charging, freezers and fridge. With two large fire places one can be used for cooking with my collection of cast iron pots, pans and Dutch ovens. the old guy Bert

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i am thinning the herd so to speak. i would like to gain back some real estate !

[@Edenssunlight]

Not to talk shit.. But damn.. When you borrow something you respect it and the fact someone trusted you enough to lend it to you.. It really comes down to respect.. Period... And when this happens it shows a lack of it for both the person helping and the equipment itself.. Just mho

[@ed4709]

Sgt. Shill I agree 100%!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

this is exactly why i dont lend things out. it ends up costing me money and saving someone else,

[@MikeBrownOhio]

Have a brother n law who treats borrowed items the same way...Usually, what doesn't get broken or damaged get lost...A pedal extension might help you...I'd rather have a regular seat than a suspension seat anyday...Have a great day...

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i like the suspension seat but it may have to go.

[@lisadennisorourke797]

As my dad used to say lend out your wife before you send out a pricey piece of equipment, lesson learned JC.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i wont be lending out either one!

[@wycks-5095]

throw some standard seats in there get rid of the air ride maybe ???? that's a sweet truck JC I also hate to loan out equipment nobody treats it like they should ….always return something better then you got it!!!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

that is exactly what i am thinking of doing. this is exactly why i dont loan things out.

[@cesmith4566]

You need a wireless remote for the valves, if your going to keep it ! I think it will make a great replacement for the Freightliner! That's one sweet truck!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

I will have to leave that to a hydraulics pro!

[@blondeguy08]

Which bed is this???? What can it handle? Bought a 2001 f650 5.9 with a 20ft steel deck but I need a light weight tilt bed

[@BobSmith-mc7uq]

Chunk of 2x4/4x4 on the clutch pedal works wonders, adjust as needed. Sweet truck!

[@popmccoy3454]

JC you don’t have a pair of ‘69/70’s mob boots with the 2inch platforms ?? Don’t mind me mate, just being a smartarse 😁 Another beaut video, cheers

[@ronaldmascaro5456]

Just a suggestion, because it’s an aluminum deck slide it to the mark before tilting to prevent premature wear. Otherwise it’s a great buy!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

thank you for that and thanks for watching!

[@jlletaw1954]

Put a small 2X4 block on the clutch pedal & ziptie the living crap out of it

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i may just put a regular superduty seat in their and try it.

[@c50ge]

Next time he asks you to borrow it hand him $400 and tell him that’s what it cost me last time you used it, I’d rather just give you the $400 and save me the trouble and aggravation. See what he says!

[@ansbis]

Would you haul a 14K LB skid/mulcher with this setup?

[@testosteronevsthewoke7124]

Get smart, life is too hard for you and your woman, don't loan your skidstir to anyone. Live comfortably my man and get paid for anything you do. I can do all the stuff you show on your videos and you shouldn't do anything at a cut rate because your average person is way too lazy to even work on their own shit and they don't deserve any kind of deal.

[@ouimetco]

I’ve gotten to the place we’re not only do I not lend stuff....I do not borrow stuff. Much less trouble to rent when needed and take the insurance also. Cheers

[@vaughnhill3437]

Man thats about disrespectful as heck to borrow something and then you scratch amd beat it all to heck. That just aint right

[@gosportjamie]

I wonder if you might find the seating position in the big Ford more to your liking with a standard truck seat in it rather than that suspension seat, it does seem to sit quite a long way up above the cab floor. Otherwise that's exactly what I expected from the F650, although it has done a few miles it was clearly all easy miles down the highway. About all you need to do is figure out the cruise control and maybe replace the rather ancient-looking fire extinguisher on the bed and she'll be pretty much as good as anything you could buy brand new for, probably, well north of $100k...

[@j.c.smithprojects]

im not concerned with the cruise control. i doubt i will use it anyway. i have a better light bar and fire extinguisher i could add to it.

[@TIMETOGO4454]

Also loaning equipment is like loaning money you never expect to get it back or at least it never comes back the way you want it

[@tampabaydan3422]

You're very smart and intelligent man you can manufacture some kind of a block or something for that clutch pedal and be a good video

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i am thinking of just putting a regular superduty seat in it.

[@TIMETOGO4454]

You know they say your legs too short you got wear thick heels on your shoes maybe a block on a pedal would be nice just joking

[@kevinhornbuckle]

See if you can come up with a clutch pedal extension of some sort. Maybe just glue on a few layers of rubber.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i am going to try a regular superduty seat.

[@nickmoniot8306]

What's the Payload on the truck setup as is looking to also haul a larger skid on one

[@keeganpock864]

Screw being a nice guy id make him pay 200 to rent it and return with a full tank

[@j.c.smithprojects]

it came back with a little more fuel than it had and a lot more damage.

[@duanehohenstein6473]

Does this truck require CDL? I know it does if over 26k, but that is it's rating. Also for commercial use it does.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

no it does not require a cdl

[@travelingkaspersworld4096]

When we borrow or rent something we take very good care of it. I'm at 423,000 miles and the original clutch in a little Toyota. You can't accomplish that and be reckless at the same time. I vacuum rental cars before they get returned. I'm in a bit of shock at how scratched your skid steer is

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

Great video thanks brother. I like the skid steer. I am glad you like the roll back. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i do really like it. i have probably said that 100 times since i got it.

[@mickhulsen6825]

you might have to strap some 4x4 to the 'pedals lol lol lol... having said that i have seen it done before

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i will have to figure something out. my short legs just dont work well!

[@precisioncomponentllc1820]

Sweet truck. Man could that thing be handy!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

it sure made loading this much easier and faster.

[@oldpete3153]

Rule #1.....you can borrow anything I have as long as it's my 16 lb. sledge hammer.....anything else I come with it and operate it for a nominal charge.....don't like that then the rate doubles.....pretty simple the way I see it.

[@morgansword]

Never figured you for a roll back kinda guy. My brother in law had two rollbacks and a KW big rotational boom truck for big rigs then he had the rest of them in either single or twin boom small 550 holmes trucks. My daughters and wife plus her sisters were native and the right corperation got big money from the stocks from the slope. I believe he had like three of them, all fords and the 95 through 98 modals. So 7.3's with both auto and standard shift. They all vested in his purple/maroon trucks and he was good for every dime and nickel. He did keep good drivers on them and a couple he sold to drivers. It is a tough game here being in the tow business, cut throat and just wrong companies out there. He did use my own truck a few times when in for new engines or other big repairs that he himself couldn't handle. I serviced any of his trucks that came in by driver and sent them down the road, just sign here and go. Kenny did me right as well and his rep won him tons of tows including to my shop at a very discounted price. We really never talked money as he was in it cause he was a workaholic with a good disposition. Everything he made went back into those trucks as they got more miles and older. He was never home because he did all the work he could handle. That is why I didn't have problems with switching transmissions, engines, etc., but as he got older as we all do, cancer came calling to his family and pretty much killed him standing to where his heart finally quit. RIP Ken. and family. I still see one of those old trucks limping around. If we had the rust you have, he would of never caught a break.

[@nelsonmattoon150]

Sounds like it needs a little grease on the rollers

[@HawaiiForestryMulching]

do you think your f650 would be happy carrying a 10,000 pound mini excavator?

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

I wondered JC, if it would be possible to move the clutch pedal back if the seat won't go lower? Not sure if they are adjustable like early trucks were. Seems like you could then it would be more comfortable. he literally beat the hell out of the skidsteer.

[@mikec4668]

The rollback is very nice.Great video thanks for sharing

[@j.c.smithprojects]

thanks for watching mike.

[@cntslesfabrication]

I had a transmission go out on my truck and I needed a truck to be able to keep working because I was doing hot shot transportation. My best friend/ dad let me borrow his truck and he doesn't let anyone drive but his brother so I was beyond greatful. I had his oil, transmission, and diff fluids changed and a complete detail for him just because he allowed me to use it and ever since then I can use it whenever I need to because I took care of his truck. Got to treat anyone else's stuff like a new born baby or don't expect anyone to help you with anything

[@FixitWithWrenches]

What a shame I've always been of the mindset you return something Iin as good and as clean of condition as possible, those scrapes and dents are just negligent operating, the rim could have been an accident but still I'd be pissed if I was you

[@terryharleyrides6109]

Bolt a block of wood on your pedal,.....that will extend it to you,.....probably a two by will be sufficient?

[@northernliving2387]

I don't blame you J C

[@andrewhatton1606]

I own a f750 33k cdl 2017. The v8 is really good to my surprise.

[@BuggysTowJam]

JC I have to ask you this question because you're the smartest person I know when it comes to diesel motors. I've learned alot from you over the years. I have an 05 Ford F650 proloader rollback with 5.9 cummins ISB 230 rear gear common rail CPL 8136 with Allison automatic transmission, here's my question sir, can my 5.9 cylinder be sleeved? A local cummins guy told me my 5.9 can not, another mechanic tells me yes it can. From your experience what do you say regarding my block? Thank you in advance. If you do get a chance to answer this can you like my comment. That's the only way youtube notifies me of likes, not replies. Thank you Virgil

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i think it depends on how badly the cylinder is damaged whether it can be machined out and a sleeve installed. that being said, a 5.9 common rail from a medium duty is a pretty easy engine and or block to come by. i would pick up another engine before i would spend the money for a sleeve. that would give you extra parts as well.

[@nelsonmattoon150]

😮 never again

[@tenilecartwright2006]

I want to buy it

[@georgehinrichs1088]

I had a friend add rubber blocks on foot pedals because of there short also ...idea?

[@terryharleyrides6109]

Yeah it's almost impossible to find someone who's going to treat your equipment the same if you will and respected in the same manner and most importantly be there when you need them.

[@mrgreen7835]

Never load a skid steer or forklift front end up. ALWAYS back up. If I saw you load my equipment like that I’d tell you to leave and call a professional.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

do you have reasoning for that or are you just bashing on a guy who isnt a professional that is hauling his own skidsteer?

[@mrgreen7835]

Just because I don’t post videos means nothing. I have a class 1 license and tow all sizes of equipment. The weight on the back of the equipment is a counter balance for the load on the front. Backing up you can use your bucket to stop yourself from tipping. Driving up you have nothing to stop you. The fact that you have to ask “why”. Shows me how unprofessional you are.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

a true "professional" may have offered advice instead belittling someone who doesnt have the experience that they do. as much as i dislike your manner of delivery, i will definitely use this information when loading equipment from here on out. after all, i want to do things the safest way possible.

[@davidhamm5626]

Beautiful rig, but you have a really crappy friend!

[@mattbrennan8088]

Nice job. And you got a great skid steer! I do believe you got all the good things now

[@j.c.smithprojects]

that has been a pretty good machine. i would like to have one with a higher lifting capacity.

[@chrishorv7099]

The other person talking in the vid is best part for him.. everything else is easily replaceable

[@Mr.Saephan503]

Don't be ashamed to put a few spacer on the clutch peddle

[@larndavies6954]

Great looking truck

[@j.c.smithprojects]

thanks larn!

[@donaldlewis9734]

Great video. Thanks

[@wyattoneable]

I just purchased a rollback for personal use and I'm looking at videos to learn how to use it. It was cool to see your video pop up.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

isnt that neat wyatt?! i hope you are doing well. we made reservations for the fall rod run in pigeon forge this year. so we will be in your state at least!

[@wyattoneable]

@@j.c.smithprojects I hear the traffic is terrible but once you're in the car show area it's worth the trip. I'd love to make it there one year. Yes, your still about 3 hours away but you'll be busy looking at everything there. Have fun! I'm doing fine, just taking a break from KZbin.

[@jimmy_olds]

Nice rig. Does she have an ISB?

[@ronyoung6054]

Nice setup

[@allenwrench9005]

quit with the use of j-hooks for load securing

[@bigjim11566]

You do realize they make j hooks for equipment, even john deere has special j hooks for some their equip an wont let you haul without them, cars get tied down with j hooks

[@Alex-uy7pc]

Not trying to be a know it all, but be careful chaining stuff down on that bed. The chain pockets on aluminum beds always get torn up. On our 21ft Jerr Danshark tail bed we cut out the aluminum pocket and welded in steel inserts.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i agree. im not a fan of that either. i have since purchased a rollback with a steel bed.

[@Alex-uy7pc]

@@j.c.smithprojects good call, they're a little nicer in the rain too. We had a few different brands over the years, century load rite, Vulcan? Whale tail, basically we preferred the beds you could pull a Corvette on without scraping the lip. The century load rite was pretty cool it had a hinge about 2/3s down the bed and you could use it to pick up real low cars. Nothing you couldn't to with a straight bed and blocks, just a little faster, and more professional looking.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i just sold a century 21' with the "right approach" bed. you moved a lever and it became an adjustable tail approach angle. great idea but it was on a 26k chassis and i prefer a 33,000 chassis with a longer heavier capacity bed for trucks and equipment.

[@Alex-uy7pc]

@@j.c.smithprojects that's what it was called! Yea you do too much heavy stuff for 26k truck.

[@spencerboisen4532]

What motor is in tbe f650

[@j.c.smithprojects]

[@patcb829]

Of course you have a skid steer too. I want to have half your toys when I grow up. Haha. I guessing you didn't get that skid steer back with a full tank of fuel as a courtesy for the rental.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

no i didnt. i use my skid steer a good bit. i have a bucket, forks, grapple bucket and post hole auger attachment for it. very handy machine!

[@mechanicmike1236]

I lent my niece my 98 Chevy while her car was being fixed and got it back with the passenger side caved in from behind the door to the tailgate and no gas in it, so not interested in lending it out anymore!! Thanks for sharing

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i agree mike. i have no interest in loaning it out again.

[@ronyoung6054]

Make yourself a thicker clutch pad so it kinda look's like a semi clutch pedal that extends closer to you
