Thanks for buying it from me!!

[@doorbash5680]

When I was young (late 60"s early 70"s) my grandfather had something like that and used it around the farm. It was green and the the steering wheel look the same with the 4 wheels. Soon as I seen this it can back to me. I can remember him calling it his little argo. Might not be the same but sure did being back memories of papa,

[@2vintage]

That's awesome! I am glad that the video could bring back some great memories!

[@adriantowe278]

Thanks for sharing I love stories like yours it makes me think of my childhood so thanks

[@adamtyson1728]

Man I appreciate what you do and I admire your passion for the older stuff that no body has ever seen!

[@GarageWorx]

Copy that

[@MintNickel1]

I enjoy that you ride your projects for a long portion of the video, a lot of people fix small engines and cool things but don’t show riding them

[@2vintage]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!

[@conedweller2003]

As a 70s kid I really enjoy the old machines. You are a very talented mechanic.

[@2vintage]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!

[@SmoochaMaGoocha]

Dude! The compression will go up when you put oil down the barrel, your reducing the volume of the combustion chamber if you don’t give it time to pass by the rings, remember it only passes through the ring gap! So reducing the area inside will increase the pressure. 😂 I was honestly waiting for you to set fire to this one as well by splashing fuel all around the carb and engine 😮

[@firerod3074]

That engine has to be missing some sheet metal around the head. There's no way it could cool run in that enclosure without a shroud.

[@ScottSillis]

No the fan housing directs airflow through the fins to keep it cool. Not all two strokes need a fan as long as the fins give enough surface area for correct heat dissipation.

[@mitchellandrew3318]

It's a single with a main fan. It's getting plenty air. But there is a metal enclosure for those motors I believe. If it was a twin I'd agree. Free air or not. Nothing pushing over they will melt down, twins will cook mag cylinder asap.

[@SmoochaMaGoocha]

Is there a vacuum return nipple on the tank? If so run a tube from engine back to tank so it builds pressure and pushes fuel down to carb, hope I explained it well enough?

[@patbriggsmbr]

Couldn’t stop laughing when you nearly lost control, well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Haha it was a little dicey there! Thanks for watching!

[@jasonchristopher2977]

Like cars from my childhood, they cost more, 20- 30 years later than when new. Insanity. I'm glad ppl still get into these hobbies but man what it costs now.

[@2vintage]

[@Dave-yo9tt]

FYI, the silver "Marine" fuel line is notorious for losing its polyethylene liner (Hates ethanol) and releasing the BITS into the carb... Keep up the great work/entertainment!

[@2vintage]

Thanks for letting me know! I appreciate it! Thanks for watching and for commenting!

[@shartne]

It seems fast it can probably do 55 mph if you want to chance it with the scetchy steering. I was suprised it could run so fast. Every thing is really worn out like the shifter and front end. It was very interesting to see it run and it being so rare was fascinating too.

[@albertstowel8613]

Definitely pretty cool, Wonder what he paid for it

[@dennishernden2264]

@@2vintage Yeah I wouldn't try to remove the orange paint, find a local auto paint supplier, have them color match what ya got, they can even put it in a spray can for ya -- refurbished tons of computer equip this way.

[@JW-fq1pp]

I could see adding some cross bracing underneath to stiffen it up. That might allow you to make it more off-road capable. All it would take is a little bracing and some fiberglass work, of course that would also ruin its collector value...

[@2vintage]

That's a great suggestion! Thank you!

[@aarons3154]

Grab a piece of plexy and use that for a windshield, use a heat gun to bend it around the corners. Awesome rig "blast from the past back on the road"

Nice to see you got her running again. An observation/suggestion. The ignition coil is bouncing around and so does the ground wire. That could lead to irregular firing. Thought you may want to know as you were obviously concentrating on the carb.

I was wondering where my dang toothbrush went. Nice to see someone cleaned up for me. Now if you don't mind sending it back to me I'd appreciate it. 🤣 🤣 Really awesome UTV I've never seen one like that before. You never fail to come up with really rare and cool vehicles. Top level content always.

The tires look to be directional. You might try flip-flopping the left side tires. It may improve stability. Just a thought.

That little side by side started working well once you plumbed in that pump! You could get a few cans of that Flex seal spray to seal it up and may help strengthen the fiberglass and check the body mounting bolts too looks like it was all taken apart at one time?

Looks like a lot of fun. Perhaps change the tires to some golf cart turf tires in the front. If you're going to try it in the water well new paddle tires in the back otherwise turf golf cart tires in the rear . Might help the ride some. Good running motor... wonder how well a newer 4 stroke like a Predator would be in it. Fab a frame and plexiglass windscreen just for cosmetic purposes. A little paint and some creative cosmetic items.. cheap radio and speakers.... yeah a lot of fun ... cross between a Argo, golf cart and there it a miniature dune buggy.... lot of fun. Loved it... "I think you should put it up " .... "why ?"... grown up boys and their toys 😊

[@Joseph-ew6ou]

That square box going into the carb is a pulse fuel pump. That extra hose goes to the engine. That's what supplies the vacuum to the pump to operate it.

[@MrThegabbster]

Another cool thing to check base gasket leek put pressure gage on that crank vent tube. Spark plugs in or out it don't matter . Pull the cord or turn the key if the needle moves a lot back and forth it's fine. If the needle don't move its blowing past the broken or cracked base gasket from old and rott.

[@2vintage]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@roryrice8742]

Very futuristic with that steering wheel!

@GunsNBudder We do have "projects," as such, but I was implying toys (bikes, mud carts, etc). We just don't have the space here where you can legally have a thrash around. Unless, of course, you own a big field, etc. If you take stuff like that on the road and plod sees ya..... well, you can probably kiss your bike, carts goodbye, and get a hefty slap on the wrist to boot.
