Hauling Firewood with 1966 FORD F-600 Dump Truck/Wood Splitter Rundown

[@Navet63]

Your videos continue to prove that 50 year old equipment is still valuable.

[@EddieThurow]

Thanks for the good advice "When you got something that has very limited brakes you don't want the throttle sticking open". These videos bring back so many memories of life on the farm. It is great to see the kids pitching in and learning those family values and hard work.

At age 17, I started hauling logs, pulling a tandem axle trailer with a one year old F-600 Ford, red, 330ci engine with a 4 speed and 2 speed rear axle (used a little over a tank of fuel each load, stopped 4 times daily to "top off" with gas, 142 miles round trip, 4.5hrs/load).....good ole days. Truck was a little too lite for what I was using it for, but it's what I had. Thanks for sharing the old Ford, I enjoyed mine for 4 years!

Every farm kids last words...."it will work" or "close enough".

Paul's a great brother

[@peanutsmith1462]

Brings back memories from the late 80s early 90s first thing we did was ride around the field and cut up limbs and trees that fell on the fence then after that, we would look for dead trees to cut down

[@mikei2141]

I like it when you tell the story on the stuff you own. I would not consider it rambling like someone else mentioned.

[@bobbypeck1999]

I used to go to the Sawmills around my house in Oklahoma and find buy them big old Ram bundles of slaps where they cut them off the logs and use that for my firewood it worked really well

[@trinitydairy]

We did that too,but no sawmills around here anymore.

[@markenge9348]

Had '68 ford f-600 with 16' bed used for hauling scaffolding and masonry equipment. It was a good truck for many years.

[@williamkemm673]

The 330 I believe is what they used to call the 330 police interceptor, it's also what engine came a lot of times in the old thunderbird

[@boe4448]

TD, I enjoyed your video and thanks for sharing it. This bring back memories of my youth on the family farm. Boe

[@Chico-td2fy]

[@williammatzek4660]

Dad had a 1962 f 350 and. 1964 f 600 Ford farm trucks. The instrument panel in both trucks looked like yours.

[@timimhoff8297]

THAT IS ONE COOL TRUCK.....I would love the chance to run something like that, it brings back memories from way back using my uncles truck with my Dad...... seems like yesterday.......😊 btim

[@Timkrenz-gr6ol]

[@williamkemm673]

[@mennoreuten1563]

[@harveyotoole2029]

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Great video, take care and God bless.😊

[@davevonmuenster6649]

Thanks, I love your equipment.

[@canvids1]

I just love what you are showing as it brings back so many memories from my much younger days, with my Grand Dad and me as kid.

[@garygrandadam7849]

Birch trees over here around Hayward same thing. Get so old then ka-put, dead and down. I had a 66 F-100 352, 3 on the tree. Sure loved that old girl. Except the arm strong steering in tight places. Keep the vids coming.

[@ronniewayne5748]

Awesome video that old ford is just like my dads

[@jamesbreault5762]

Great video😊😊😊😊

[@thomaslapp6029]

For a 58 year old truck, she is looking good. Same age that I am, so yes a little lubrication for the old joints helps, maybe a little Biofreeze next time or bengay, 😂

[@martywade5519]

Need to put a spring on that butterfly for the carburetor pulling back toward the radiator so it has a pull back to work the gas pedal that’s where your throttle sticking a little bit

[@grantpowers]

Hi Allen and family,,, finished my corn picking, filled 4 cribs size like you have, and I to am filling the wood shed,, have a great day 😎

[@johnhenderson299]

Amazing old truck great video

[@countryboy3201]

Great video 📹

[@toddpekarski4014]

That farm and land of yours is God's Country. It would be hard for me to leave and go into town.

[@derrickzenner9300]

Great video. I like hearing about the history.

[@hartungdairyfarm0713]

Nice truck 👍👍

[@ronzezulka6646]

Hey Allen,,100mph with a stiff rear breeze,,lol. Looking forward to cob corn!!

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Thanks for sharing Allan. Always enjoy your videos.. Cool old truck.

[@drknockers5716]

Great video

[@curtiswolf313]

You need to cut a hole in the floorboard to stick your feet through for some Flintstone brakes. 🤣🤣

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

❤🚚❤🚜

[@KiwiJim13]

👀🙄🐾👍Great video Alan was Jordan the camera man?

[@trinitydairy]

Yep

[@KiwiJim13]

He's a good little trooper

[@kenlee5509]

I'm in the middle of replacing all the brake parts on my '66 F-250. Keep the old iron running, all the new stuff is dying like mayflies!

[@KenStewart-kt8ol]

Cool old truck Alan, wonder if you could rig up an extra return spring on the throttle linkage?

[@butchmcgregorb1203]

My central o d wood burner burns dry or green also burned small squares of hay 2 bales 9 hr burn

[@davidmuise388]

Thank you for another awesome video gotta love the old truck absolutely amazing take care god bless love you all

[@nightrider6769]

Hi Alan yeah I just love it when you break out the old truck that thing is cool now this is just my opinion but I think you should take one day and put all new plugs in it wires cap and rotor and then maybe take another day and take the carb off send it and get it rebuilt so when you actually use it it'll run good it doesn't sound like it runs too bad and then fix that throttle on the inside cab so that doesn't stick anymore and you would have yourself a really good running truck and maybe you know find out what's wrong with the brakes and fix those too got to keep the maintenance up otherwise that truck will let you down at some point.

[@trinitydairy]

I put new ignition parts in a few years ago, but the plugs came out so hard, I only did one side, because I thought they would break off. The cab is very rusty also, I do keep up on fixing the main stuff, but since it would never be allowed on the road, I don't worry much about the other stuff.

[@nightrider6769]

You even said it in the video the carb could use work I bet it would run a lot better if you had that rebuilt you do a pretty good job of doing maintenance on your stuff lot of farmers just don't.

[@badger1132]

Autumn, my favorite time of year. Hays put up, corn being harvested or in the cribs and bins. Making the homestead ready for the cold spell. Smell of Birch wood is nice. What tractor is @ 2:45 with the front end loader and bale spear ? The videos are great content 🇺🇸👍

[@trinitydairy]

Case 530

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌❤🇨🇦

[@jamesbristow5740]

Is it just non-ethanol fuel that you keep in these old rigs so they are ready to fire up after a year of sitting?

[@trinitydairy]

No, that was just regular ethanol gas.

[@colorado1088]

How much old gas was in the truck? Did you put the new gas in before first starting? I'm wondering if I need to drain gas out of my mower for winter. I always have before but now am trying to save effort on unnecessary jobs.

[@trinitydairy]

That was the gas that was in it. For small engines I would shut the gas off, and let it run till it uses all the gas out of the carburetor.

[@harveyotoole2029]

Add some Seafood, run it for 5 minutes or so and you are good.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

​@@harveyotoole2029seafoam

[@joelmoody1569]

Do you mean seafoam? I use sta bil..It has always worked good in my mowers and snow blower.@@harveyotoole2029

[@DickCleasby]

Still driving bus

[@trinitydairy]

Yes

[@marshallsayre58]

Or "truck"

[@sammathias3498]

I hate when people dump in the woods,,just burn it..?

[@trinitydairy]

Why? In a couple years it will be gone, and it gives shelter for small animals in the winter. I'm not against burning it, but we have a burning ban on because it's been dry. And if I decide to burn it, I can still burn it right where I dumped it once we get snow.

[@matthewklejeski6641]

Why, it provides winter shelter for rabbits and grouse, and will also decompose, and provide fertilizer for other plants to grow

[@International1066]

I hate when people make stupid comments

[@sammathias3498]

Love your channel, but the 1st 5 mins you just ramble on and on..get to the point and get more content..Please

[@trinitydairy]

Sorry you feel I'm rambling, but there's a lot of new viewers that have never seen my wood splitter or my dump truck, so I felt I could explain in the video instead of answering a bunch of questions in the comments.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Those old trucks just don't die. Our '65 Chevy 20 is much the same. Fortunately we are stockpiled with firewood pretty good but Dad is always cutting more.

[@marshallsayre58]

Can nevr have enough firewood

[@marshallsayre58]

Sorry but what's a unisystem? I always appreciate your explanation and the time it took todo chores..theres no rush

[@trinitydairy]

The unisystem was made by new idea, and it was a self propelled power unit, that many different attachments can be mounted to. Like a forage harvester, combine, snow blower, husking bed Like we have, and many more.
