bro I have a 1981 f100 getting a transmission put in it since it hasn't had one in the truck for about 6 years good thing is I got the motor and everything else to work I just need a second gas tank since one of the 2 don't work

Only in Iowa could you find two people in half a car, being pulled by a tractor, while a third person is feeding the carb! XD Kudos gentlemen!

If he's doing stuff like that at his current age imagine the stuff he did in his teens and 20's. Ed's a gem

Glad to see Tom making more appearances, Kevin. Seems like a very likeable guy. Hoping to see him more!

Tom's dad was about to say it's been sittin for 'twenty'-something years. I totally feel him , because we all know that the 80s will always be twenty years ago!

[@relyc_]

This might have been your finest video, great to see so many different generations of friends bonding over a family car and memories. I really hope you all come back to this one soon.

[@pathvalleyrailroad9277]

My wife was watching Tom's dad ride on that frame juicing the engine and said "This is why men die first."

I think I'd like to see this goofy contraption return sooner rather than later. It's ridiculousness is just so much fun to look at. Power Tour should offer a lot of time to come up with some ideas.

[@brandondrumb2560]

Loving Tom in almost every new episode and Tom's dad is cooler than the other side of the pillow

[@JDHBASS2448]

Tom's dad is an absolute legend for riding the kart like a chariot to try and get it to fire off! I feel like i could sit for hours hearing all of the stories from Tom and his dad about the things theyve done and built. That thing is hoenstly a piece of history, that was cheap ingenuity back then for a fun little toy. I dont think any backyard-built kart nowadays could compare to what that was back then. Hopefully maybe you return to it someday and can get some life out of it. Great video you guys!

[@SirWilliamsHand]

Man, this was seriously impressive. Loved seeing the Dad’s get involved.

[@The_Dynasty1901]

Adding Angus full time was the best decision ever. He is hilarious, y’all are hilarious. Just a great combo and definitely adds to the content in so many ways. Keep on keepin on brother!

[@DarkFlamage]

My father bartered something for a homebuilt project like that. Had a cracked piston when he got it. He brought it back to life. Said his was like a small tractor. Had dual wheel truck rear end & two 3 speed transmissions somehow connected together in line for super low pulling power. I'm guessing the time frame would have been around 1934 or so.

[@DinDooIt]

Be grateful your dads are still around, cherish them because they don't last forever, god bless and keep the rubber side down fellas!! R.I.P pops.

[@mariusmcleod2487]

I love Tom's enthusiasm " This will never work" 🤣

[@someonenobody8054]

Tom is a great addition to the channel, but we need more Mook and burnt Nova!

[@Naamis1]

… I miss my dad and wish we would have come together like this as a bigger family / team. Looks so fun

[@djbazinet8758]

Love that we’ve been seeing a lot of Tom. He’s such a great fit with the jyd fam.

John's got the most idaho hot-boy hairstyle I've ever seen. I'm guessing he's drowning in it...

[@TheSometimesBuilds]

I wish there was a drone shot of that scene😂. A tractor driving in a circle. With a camera guy spinning in a circle with someone hanging off the engine, and two in the kart. That is so uniquely country it’s amazing.

[@mundanestuff]

You have found a sweet spot, Angus, Tom, Tom's dad, just add Mook, John and Phoenix and one or two more of the boys and you'd get nothing at all done, but it would entertaining to be sure.

[@TheStevo1208]

So much knowledge in that garage. I love & miss old school wrenching.

[@anthonystracqualursi2544]

I love this show. But this sporadic 2 to 3 weeks for an episode sucks. I figured since you hired someone. We would see more episodes. Or at least a scheduled day for an episode. Sorry bout the bitchin. Again, I love the show. An hope for the best for you guys.

Not only did this episode include some of my favorites in the junkyard digs universe but golden rust or bust makes an appearance!! Can't say there has been a video of yours I haven't watched since 2019. I'm so glad when I say you still act like the Kevin from all those years ago 😂 unlike some other automotive KZbinrs who are lovable yet sold out
