You need to find an old school mechanic Jason, changing the head gasket on a small motor like that Suzuki should be pretty straight forward.

[@NotOnYourLife]

Either a blown head gasket or valve seals with the possibility of vacuum sucking engine oil into the combustion cycle (the vacuum routing on these trucks is a comical nightmare). None of those is the end of the engine or expensive/difficult to fix. I can see wanting a different truck but that one is not condemned, it just needs a mechanic who wants to work on it.

[@CreativeAnneliese]

I love how close you are with your in-laws! They seem to be beautiful people, and considering how lovely Lorraine is, you are truly blessed!

[@deniseharris9363]

So happy you’ve got a new truck! I know it has to be helpful carrying everything around the farm! Love you all ❤❤❤

[@kimrafferty7170]

In Japan the koi farmers use these mini trucks to transport the koi all around the mountains. Let's hope your new truck will become your work horse and not let you down xxxx

[@kimcwhite6509]

So sorry about your little truck, but so nice that Tony made it good! Like he said, this is the 1st failure. I just love these trucks! I wish we could get one in Northern California.

[@zzydny]

You always looked so happy with that first truck that it was a real joy to watch. And then so sad when it quit working that it made me sad, too. Really glad you've got a new truck for the farm!

[@lisanowakow3688]

So good to see you back in a mini truck!

[@jrsf222]

So great you have someone at your back for mini-truck. We know how excited you were‼️👍

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Congratulations on getting the farm truck 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 You really needed it. 😊

[@GrowingLittleCountryhomestead]

Randy getting happy about the cassette player was hilarious. Old memories 😂. If I watch enough KZbin videos I’m pretty sure I can fix it😅

[@danahollenbeck8052]

Spray bed liner is the way to go... Mats will rust things out You can spray the bottom of the truck to help with rust issues.

[@ReelCoast79]

Facts 💯

[@paulweakley3440]

I had a heavy thick rubber mat in my 1993 chevy s-10 for two decades and had no rust. It is all about how your treat your truck. I took the mat out for loads of mulch so it was easy to unload; I cleaned the bed when it needed it... and it was easy because I could pull off the matt and just hose everything off. Liners are more difficult to clean off than a regular metal bed. Also, non-lined beds allow for much easier mulch / dirt unloading. I love liners too... but everything has their place.

[@SamuelLopez-qp7uw]

They can easily fix that blown gasket of your kei truck here in the 😢Philippines .theres a lot of motoparts supply you can buy gasket here

[@jimbolr110]

The rubber mats cause no rust at all, my Carry has one since new in 2002 and the paint under it is still like new!

[@shepherdhillfarms7821]

I’d keep the “broken” one and just drive it into the dirt. It would make a good one to use for the kinda stuff you wouldn’t do with the new one! Jumps, water and the like. Also, it would be a good one to teach your daughter how to drive with, that way if it gets messed up, oh well! Good video as always!

[@kar702]

That little enclosed van would’ve made a perfect rural mail delivery vehicle. I wish I would’ve had one during the 20 years I worked for the USPS.

[@MjuAnRqnrjsoe81]

I think those trucks are happy to be with you☘️

[@noahvale2627]

So much fun watching you with your father-in-law

[@debrezo58]

Sorry about your truck. Hopefully someone will love to take an opportunity to tinker with it. 🙏 the new one outlasts the first one by many many years🙏

[@cassityart7001]

A mini dump is exactly what I am looking for! So beautiful. 🌞🌱❤️

[@kb6lcw99]

SoCal still sucks. But we love all you are doing!

[@Roy-BBQn]

Jason. Your channel/station, makes me smile and laugh. You want reliable. It’s at least 30 years old, right??? I’ve learned so much from your KZbins and with the 3 talking heads. Keep trucking!!! I’m also from California now some farmsteadning In Kansas. Goooooooo Jason!!! 😁

[@stellaunger8568]

Those trucks are so great. Happy you were able to get another. 😊

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Good to see you have a new truck, and the owner worked with you.

[@ginnysulya9805]

Yahoo! Happy for you Jason! 👍👍

[@belieftransformation]

Congratulations on finding the new truck; thanks for sharing! 🤗💗🇨🇦

[@joannmahaffey1068]

Love that you have a new truck. Fun video.

[@danharkness7868]

I am sorry that your first farm truck had a problem. I am so happy that you didn't give up on the little trucks! I think they are cute and so versatile. Thanks for sharing.

[@karinjudge7277]

Glad you were able to get another truck Jason ! The little pigs eating the kale was a nice clip. Thanks :)

[@pamelacrowell2007]

Love your new little truck!!!

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Great to see the new farm truck . . . great selection of trucks, wish it was close to me. Cheers looked like fun, guy shopping day.

[@richardroyles1423]

I’m glad you got the truck. God bless.

[@dianadriverasbury9130]

So glad you got that worked out. Hope this one does well.

[@jparksjs]

Been looking forward for a video drop from yall 💪🏾💪🏾

[@williamwhite1596]

Good video ! God Bless !!!

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 Yay for the new, newer mini-truck! Hope it does last 5 years. Looked like fun test-driving with Randy. 💚

[@squirrellyacres]

Good luck with the new to you mini truck

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Congrats I know you are glad to have a truck back

[@SereneWayfarer]

Good luck with the new truck Jason, hope it lasts longer!!!

[@milliewilkie1969]

I saw one of your Suzuki mini trucks at a classic car meet in UK last week ..I said Oh Jasons truck 😂

[@jills5939]

It's so cute. 🕊

[@CliffsideStables]

CONGRATULATIONS on buying a replacement minitruck. Tim in northern TN

[@sgrvtl7183]

Good job on newer truck👌❗️always enjoy your videos 😊

[@wendy833]

I love those little trucks. I liked the dump lift.

[@latin95]

Congrats

[@ritahall8653]

Glad you got another truck

[@tinatippin5705]

The mini just fits you, Jason. Happy for you.

[@janetwithers7427]

So glad you found a new old truck like your other one. 💞

[@Franciso-so1bg]

I'm loving the little truck!

[@anitadodson4316]

So excited for you to get another one!! Hopefully it does last you for more than 5 years..

[@victorbenner539]

Very happy for you. Let's face it, equipment like this really helps give you more time to do more things on the homestead. FYI I believe you can find kits that will turn that truck bed into a dump bed. Very handy. Have a great day. 😊

[@yvettekinchking8838]

Great customer relations tony😊

[@THardy.]

Good luck with your new truck. Hope it lasts for years and years.

[@carlapierle8623]

I think we missed your mini truck almost as much as you did! It made you so happy!! I'm sorry it wasn't worth fixing but glad you found another one you like.

[@imogenethomas1138]

Love your new farm truck! It’s going to last for many years.

[@cynthiamccoy845]

I missed seeing you buzz around in your farm truck. Hope this one works out!

[@clarencewiles963]

Happy trucking and easy work put a farm use tag on it.

[@Wildevis]

Ah Randy loved that Fire truck lol. Glad you got a newer one and on wheels again

[@zomday71]

I'm glad you got another. I wrench for a living and was bummed out for you when I saw that white smoke. I could tell you loved the truck (and totally get why you do). Hope dude gave you a break on the replacement. (And part of me was really hoping you were gonna pop for the brand new dump body!)

[@shadegarden7375]

Spray the bed to protect it from rusting and then use the liner!!

[@jonh1958]

Love the new truck Jason, the rubber mat is a great addition. Maybe roll it up if it ever rains to stop water collecting underneath if you are worried about rust.

[@cathyrodeheaver8694]

You pick the truck I picked. Needed piece of equipment on your farm. I sure hope this one holds up.

[@davidfarm8095]

hope this works better for you. God bless you.

[@OutdoorAdventureswithShawn]

We looked at a van almost bought it - they are really cool vehicles!

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Glad that you got your new truck, but what astonished me is the quantity of grass on your property when compared with when you bought t, it has improved so much!

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Hopefully you have better luck with this truck. If they have the same parts may be a good idea to keep the old truck to use for parts.

[@artemiasalina1860]

Good guy Tony!

[@gypsymomma3470]

Looking good 🙂,✌️🙏

[@manellaperry4748]

That truck would be a good project for them Rhodes boys or the Hollars boys. Their all very good about gitting it dun , just like y'all are. So happy you have a wonderful relationship with your family and in laws . I gasp when I heard Lorraine say peach peels/skins to the pigs . My Granny made peach gelly with the skin and let over scrap pcs. The same with apples. Much love to y'all and pray for a wonderful weekend.👍💛🙏

[@terryhenderson424]

I am surprised and pleased for you that the seller was willing to work with and for you. And yes, I think I could get used to the right hand drive easier than a left hand shifter! That clutch foot and shifting hand action is so automatic. Its automatic enough that at least once I reach in half a panic or slam on the brakes when driving an automatic.

[@DinSF]

I was rooting for one thst had the lift in the back. Makes for a versatile transportation vehicle on the Homestead and all those wood chips a collection of tree branches and trunks.

[@claudettehernandez3402]

Hauling wood, we have to brush out as much as we can on the F250. So much Fun lifting up the 3/4” thick bed mat.

[@tracyguillemette6255]

we bought a Hijet in the spring - my husband loves it! It is getting around 40 mi to the gallon, and gets up to 60 comfortably on the highway. ended up put in a lift kit

[@garynickel648]

Good thing you live close to Mayberry, I bought one from them about 6 months ago. It to has issues, contacted them the day it arrived, told me that I live too far from away, to help me. By the way I live in Oklahoma. Hope and pray things work out better for you than me

[@jonrossman6706]

Awesome video!

[@DebbieBlue-dt1zx]

I have to say I have a big smile on my face in the UK we are aright hand drive country with what you call stick shift. I’ve been to the USA a few times and refuse to drive because your left hand drive. Well done and brave of you swapping sides of road is scary . Love your channel

[@PattyPrice-tl7bc]

So happy he worked with you on another farm truck We missed seeing you using it in the videos I'm praying it last you at least 10 years God bless you my question is did Randy buy one to?

[@jodiethane9359]

Those are just the cutest lil farm vehicles. Been driving on the left for about 7 yrs in the Caribbean. I can not do a manual transmission here. My brain just wont do the left hand shifting. Learning curve lol.

[@colleenrodamer9497]

Yeah u got a truck back ❤

[@19jarhead66]

Happy for you, I know from experience, you have to have a truck.

[@tracyboyd4867]

Still driving my lil suzuki van everyday I love it...great on fuel...😊

[@TokyoCraftsman]

I’ve got a Subaru Dias micro van, the flat three engine is over the back wheels, it has great traction. Mini trucks rock.

[@peterrowellranson8649]

Glad you have a new truck Jason now a mini van for Lorraine 😂🎉

[@karionhawkins3091]

❤ the small trucks

[@dandahermitseals5582]

I'd love a cary with the dump bed and has to be 4x4. We live in the mountains and alotta acreage. Dandahermit

[@sporranheid]

Glad you got a new trucked sorted out! Been wondering. Did Randy get the fire truck? It suited him perfectly. 😃

[@leahr.2620]

Too bad about your 1st truck hopefully this one last a long time, and hope he have you a good deal.

[@JacquesTreehorn]

These are all over the place in Guam. They have the vans and Jimny too. They kind of have a cult following like low riders. People pimp them out. They are all 25 years old or older.

[@jakekammerer]

i did line x on my Sambar and it turned out so very nice! Things don't slide around either. Bought from Tony as well. He's the best!

[@petercurrell9344]

40 years ago I had a 250cc Honda version and loved it . Great for hobbies. A bit of trouble with dynostart. Put a ply body on and overnight in i

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day.

[@chris123chris82]

Man those trucks are sweet. I have no idea where to get one here in Canada but man I'd enjoy one haha

[@cheriekreusel9453]

I was trying to come up with the justification for getting one then you said "shifter on the left" , lol. I could not do that to my fellow road warriors, me trying to shift on the left of the steering column? I just can't imagine that, ha ha. Glad you got some wheels Jason, still think it needs a 60's peace flower paint job

[@estellaknox9285]

Ilike the little truck cute

[@charlesgrimmett9625]

I like the 3cylinder and mid engine i converter to left hand drive

[@karomaalta4592]

Nice!❤

[@25Soupy]

Of course the Honda sounded quieter because you're not sitting on top of the engine like the Suzuki!..The Honda engine is at the back axle. Really bad luck to have the head gasket go on the original truck. Poor Jason. I'm glad you got a new one and you're happy with it! We've all been waiting for this video.

[@locustvalleyfarms7241]

We have a decent sized farm that relies on side by sides. We have gone the mini truck route before and it has never worked out. Constantly breaking. Can’t go off-road,rides like a wooden wagon. We have side by sides that range from brand new to 18 years old. They all work fine and don’t give us trouble.

[@jbbrown7907]

I want one.

[@andrewhammill6148]

Really wanted that first one to work out. Hopefully, this one fits the bill. Worst case scenario, if no one buys it, you can turn the bed into a wagon. Just cut the front of it off and make a hitch for it. At least it wouldn't be a total loss.

[@eldenl1]

Lorraine, I know the pigs enjoy the peach skins, but have you thought of freeze drying them? I bet you could, then pulverized them to powder and use it to flavor drinks, like teas, lemonades, etc. Just a thought.

[@RAMelloh-ij5sl]

If your mini guy has them, get a Sambar with a supercharger. You will have a lot more power (52 hp) and can drive on the freeway without holding up traffic. The rear engine configuration makes for better traction and stability. The rear engine location facilitates easier access for servicing. The holy grail is to find one with differential lock.
