Speed Dragging with 41 Chevy 4X4 Truck to Change the Snow Texture Jan 14 2025

Love the sound of that old Farmall engine when backblading

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes good motor we imported from the usa thansk

Hey, I really like the fact that the Staff's new mic picks up everything. A good part of my interest in the channel is the machinery. I want to hear all the sounds they make.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

we are finding this mic must have been used in that "Watergate" thing because it can pick up sounds a long long away. hard to get the volume correct when making the final video thansk

[@ProgWork1]

I agree with Kurt! At some point I could hear the Staff, the cat in the shot and the '41 in the background warming up for the action!

[@kingofobsolete4789]

Hi I live in spanaway Washington. Today wasn't fun but it had to be done. I live with a friend 87 yrs old. Our neighbor passed away. We talked about cleaning her roof. My friend said she would pay me to clean the roof next door. I told her no charge. So I spent 6hrs cleaning. Also cleaned the skylights. All for free!!! I'm so sore!

Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ 26° and feels like 15° and snowing ❄️ considering the 41 is built out of several vehicles and makes you should call it the Johnny Cash, you got it one piece at a time 😉 it was quite interesting watching you race around dragging, and explaining the reasons why, all this knowledge I'm gaining from watching our channel and I'll never utilize it here on Cape, it's still cool to know 👍 Xena, you sound great I guess the mic is working properly 👍 thanks guys for another fun-filled video ✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦

[@benjamincresswell3713]

Mr. King, my 77 Power Wagon has a 400 big block w/ 3 speed automatic and 4.56 gears running thru the NP203 full time 4wd transfer case. (203 has a differential and locker) On 31" tall tires it works real well as a plow truck with no limited slip front or rear. I've never had chains on it. Low range with 4.56 gears is pretty low even with the automatic so I let it shift up into any gear it wants as it gets moving. I don't see why you want to change the axles and transfer case. Seems like it should be pretty good w/ 350 engine considering the 350 Chev has a longer stroke at 3.48" than the Chrysler 400 at 3.375". Not telling you how to do things, just maybe you and Jack might consider what the difference will be. ben/ michigan
