We recently went to look at a bunch of old vehicles that were hidden in the mountains of Tennessee and my son Ralphie found what he thought was a Cushman mini mail delivery vehicle that he just had to have. So after paying $400 for it we brought it home and now we are going to try to get it running and driving and maybe even wash it for the first time in 30 years. Will it start? Let's find out!

Guys, when you have a tire stuck to the rim, the simplest way to get it off is to lay it flat and pour a little gasoline around the rim and leave it set for a while. It sure worked on big truck tires. I’ve done it a hundred times. Just be patient.

Found a website that had one of these for auction, that said these were built by Westcoast Mailer, and Rand/Cushman from the later 50's through '68. It also stated that all of these were powered with the Onan Twin Flat that was rated at 7.5 HP with 3 speed manual with a top speed of 35MPH. This was a nice find and absolute joy to hear that thing fire up!

You have a 1958-1968 Cushman/Rand Mailster (Westcoaster was another brand name, too). There should be a mechanical fuel pump on the top side of the engine near the points box area. The round circles would have been for "Mr. Zip" (a stick-figure with a postal cap on it's head) when the zip codes were introduced in the early '60s and the squares had aluminum frames that they put posters in like warnings to not park too close to mail boxes and "avoid the holiday rush, mail early!" The rear door was a double door style (barn doors). Someone cut the side window openings way larger than what they were originally. They were half as tall with round corners. You might be able to make a rubber coupler piece for the drive shaft thing, kind of like a big, thick steering rag joint. Maybe adapt a Cadillac SRX flex joint? (rear prop shaft, front joint).

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

This three-wheeled, gas-powered, quarter ton, lightweight mail delivery van is known as a 'mailster'. At least seven different companies produced mailsters for the Post Office Department, including Westcoaster Company, the manufacturer of this vehicle. Letter carriers began using these vehicles in the mid-1950s. Mailsters could hold about five hundred pounds of mail in their compartments.

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you

[@EconAtheist]

those lil beasts were still part of our mail delivery system here, particularly downtown/campus, up until the early 1990s IIRC. the drivers usually just took the sidewalks, puttering about but delivering mail really efficiently amongst the tons of buildings -- and we have shitloads of wide sidewalks so there was always plenty of room. it's not like they surprised walkers/bikers ... if you couldn't/didn't hear the rumble, you FELT it 😶 good times!

[@neil6212]

Onan CCK: This was designed as a generator engine, and also used in industrial aps as well. Most RVs in the sixties and seventies had generators with this series of engines. Made to run "forever" at 3600 RPM. The starter is on the lower right (looking at the flywheel end) Interestingly, the ignition system fires both plugs at the same time. (Wasted spark) Original coils had two high voltage terminals! Two coils is a common replacement. The lever next to the carb is the manual prime, and is part of the fuel pump. Parts should be no problem as they made a zillion of them, over many years. Briggs and Stratton made engines along the same pattern, too. Maybe they were all made by the same company...I don't know, but I bought a garden tractor/mower from Sears about 1976, which had an 18 HP version on it. The carb on the Briggs V-Twin engines may well fit, and it uses the same oddball mounting arrangement.

[@johnmeskens5613]

Josh they were also made by Rand. Brakes are siame as a Nash Metropolitan. Older neighbor used to be mechanic for postal service and remembered that's what they came from basically. He also said Triumph Spitfire

[@Sleeperdude]

[@barrywgoodwin3923]

I have a couple very old tractors. A 56 TEA-20 MASSEY FERGUSEN, and a 59 MF 35. The points in your little buggy are very similar to the points in the TEA-20. The starter is a close match to the TEA- 20, and also the MF 35. So you likely can get parts for your engine. Now taking the starter out, I saw it coming, you made the classic mistake of spinning the Bendix all the way out. It's not ruined and is easily fixed. The Bendix is held to the shaft with a roll pin. If you bring the Bendix even a tickle past that roll pin it will not spin back in. The fix is punch out the roll pin, take the Bendix off the shaft. Take a sturdy screwdriver, and push it through the bendix where the shaft should be, then fix the screwdriver in a vice so its flat. Then take a grinder with the wire wheel and the teeth on the Bendix press the wire wheel to those, and get it spinning and the faster the better. It will allow the Bendix to turn in all the way. You may have to try either direction, but one of those will allow it to turn in all the way. Be careful getting it set in place to reinstall. Push on the shaft and carefully line up the hole with the shaft, punch in the roll pin and put the starter back together. Hope I explained well enough to make since. I learned that trick on youtube, lol.

What's truly sad is that not all people appreciate law enforcement. My father used to be a police officer in Washington DC in the early 1970s. He was the youngest officer ever to be promoted to Sargeant back then at the age of 24. He walked a beat for quite a few years back then at night and he used to tell me horror stories of his experiences. He found a better calling and became a businessman, and he provided an amazing life for us all. I just wish that I could've given my two sons as good of a childhood as I had and I make good money.

Hi the brakes are girling (british) from late 50s/60s, the rears are possibly Ford Anglia 105e ? (59-68) 8 x 1/4" the wheel cylinders should have the size cast on the barrel part (5/8") ? if you look closely on the side of the body where the pipes fit you should see a very small number stamped on it possibly 3049?, the front brake is Girling also but you need to check out the cylinder size etc . These parts are easily available on ebay UK as are the other brake parts. The cylinders slide on the backplate (has 2 U shaped clips to hold them on ) to give equal pressure to both shoes, hope this helps, cheers Roger in UK

Ol Polebarn Garage just put out a vid and in it he shared he got real sick and had to go to the hospital from a rat virus after cleaning/vacuuming rat poo out of one of his usual old rust buckets he was doing the video on. I share it to say please protect yourselves on that old stuff from those nasty viruses you catch from rat poo and pee. Not to be in your business but it could be the reason why your kids seemed to be getting sick more then usual for a bit there. If the videos you released where in order of when they was recorded at the time. None of us want or like to have sick children or be sick ourselves. Other then that lets see this thing restored! 👏🏾👏🏾WOOOOOOO!!!!

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thanks

[@darrenswails]

do you have a DeWalt shop vac? If so they have a HEPA filter for it​@@Sleeperdude

[@jont0315]

​@@darrenswailsI didn't even know they had vacs with special filters. That's pretty cool👌🏾

[@darrenswails]

@@jont0315 yeah I do mold remediation, and you have to vac the mold before you treat it. The DeWalt filter is green and is washable

[@jont0315]

@@darrenswails hmmm never knew... do they only make the filters for DeWalt? I'd imagine they'd have these filters for other vacs too

You can take those shoes down to Felton clutch in Chattanooga and they will re-line them
