My 1995 Cabover Freightliner is alive AGAIN

[@awesomecreationschannel]

I love farm/family videos and it's great to see Rooster 😊 It would be nice to see Wendy again too! It's been a long time since we had a good ole' family adventure! I'm looking forward to the album too 😁👍

[@Americanwarrior-j1m]

Good seeing old cabover Freightliner nowadays you very seldom see the old style peterbilts kenworths and Max on the road but when you do they bring back fond memories

[@patricksjeeps]

I wish the sun would shine in northern NM! Good to see ya Jaxon

[@chriscook8076]

Where in Northern NM?

[@realwildwildwest]

Hey there 👋🏼

[@Thom1973]

Hey Jax at timestamp 8:29 I am so glad to hear that James is doing good

[@nada7.077]

Your channel is quite diverse, which also makes it never boring! Plus I can live my younger years trucking, feeding cattle, and pulling calves vicariously through you. We used straw to bed our cows and calves if we had to bring them in during calving season. Is that the first calf of the year? What a little beauty! Is it a little bull calf or heifer? It’s so wonderful to see all the kiddos helping out and learning life lessons and a good work ethic. Kudos to you and Haeli (please let me know if I am spelling her name wrong). Good to see Rooster also! Ohh an album finally!! How exciting! God bless you all and keep you safe ❤️🙏

[@realwildwildwest]

Haeli. A unique spelling for sure . That one was a little heifer calf!

[@nada7.077]

When you said you was getting woodchips, I was expecting landscaping woodchips. What you got was sawdust. LOL

Glad you got truck going love watching your videos and tell Old Man Rooster hello and have a wonderful night.

Thanks, you too!

[@Hogger280]

Pressurize the fuel tank to help prime the system; or install a boost pump at the bottom of the tank and you will never have this problem again.

[@Mouthy_Trucker]

just use ether

[@wilrichtruckinginc]

Pressurize the tanks and use WD 40 with your starting fluid, it's easier on the motor, enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@lynnalohaaloha9439]

Glad you got your truck fixed and was able to get the sawdust. I was wondering about the calves. I hope all is going well for the family. God bless!

Hi mate awesome old freightliner over here in Australia that a be called a Golden oldie.keep on trucking safe mate cheers to ya.

Jax I love the cabover I have a buddy who farms 2700 acres we took a old road tractor and stretched it with a 26ft box an 72 sides with tips I'd haul 550 bushel to the elevator and run 70 with more ta go I never took it there loved that truck so comfortable. You got a classic.👍🇺🇸🤙

Seems great father's run in your family great job brother👍🙏😎

[@MikeCipperley]

Nice rig I love cabovers. Used to drive cabovers for over 40yrs since I was 18 in 1977. However, love the long wheelbase, I love to see long wheelbases on big rigs, especially on cabovers a and duel stacks and twin breathers. I also prefer the old chrome 13 and 18 spd knows in the shifter stick. I still have my old chrome T shifter Handel for the spliter for 13 & 18spd spliter chrome knob assembly. Anyway take care of the old girl. AND HAPPY TRUCKING

[@nickscustoms269]

I take off the fuel line right after the check valve and use a shop vac to prime lines. Takes about 5 seconds

[@waynesalkeld8419]

Not as glamorous as NASCAR,but very interesting.I’m retired now,but I started my driving career in 1976 in Pontypool South Wales.My first job was collecting milk churns from local farms and delivering to a local chocolate factory.So your video reminded me of where I started and how resourceful farmers are.

[@realwildwildwest]

That’s a neat background :)

[@waynesalkeld8419]

Not as interesting as yours,but thanks.

Super happy little sister is back up and running and the barn is now toasty warm for the mama cows … Awww what a cutie pie baby calf and even more perfect that’s it’s a heifer Congratulations on the record music deal thingy 🎶 Have a fantastic week with the cars❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bruceajohnson6437]

The best fuel lines are 5/8 air line and 1/2 return. And the easy way to get fuel in the lines is to put air in the fuel tank it makes it start quicker.

[@realwildwildwest]

They thought they had the hard plastic airline, but when I got to town turns out they didn’t. :(

[@bruceajohnson6437]

I run air lines for fuel lines on my trucks a lot cheaper than rubber lines.

[@Kelly-fk3oi]

Hey Jax I got married in 1995 it's good to know somethings are still alive and well!

[@garymessina1609]

We added a bypass line with a electric lift pump to prime up the fuel system but you did ok great video thanks jax

[@bobmoroney3643]

When I did big truck road service I kept a "refrigeration - in line sight glass" to chase down the loss prime problem. They can be very hard to find. Penske was a big customer of mine and one of their service managers showed that trick.

[@realwildwildwest]

Good thinking

[@kenmurray4232]

Love them cabovers. Nice to see things on the ranch going well. Really cool to hear James is doing good. You will have to us know where to buy the album, when you know. Have fun in Austin. Thanks for sharing

[@louisb229]

Welcome to Texas, I live in the DFW area. I enjoy your hard work, brother. Rooster and I (the older the gentleman) should get together and discuss how to get our daughters to let us slow down.

[@realwildwildwest]

🤣

[@timothymilam732]

Smart thinking on your part, for those reasons you mentioned. Also because if they're poor when they get pregnant, then about the time they calve. They're going to drop down in weight, because the calves are pulling some much from them, because everything they're eating goes straight into producing milk for their babies. So they take forever to catch back up, and sometimes you have to skip a year breeding program to allow for that to happen. Yes Sir fighting the drought here in Texas too, but hopefully with the huge amount of rainfall we've had since the end of last year will bring the water back up, thus letting the grasses rejuvenate themselves too. That's yet to be seen, but one has to be positive.

[@realwildwildwest]

Yessir! Keep it on the optimistic side!

[@jessealvarado6939]

Looking great Rooster glad to see ya👊

[@bobmoroney3643]

You have the best videos. Interesting variety, especially the pod cast with your brothers and "Good Old Rooster" Love it thank you.

[@huey4203]

If you get a airhose and put it in the tank and seal it off with a rag it will push the fuel into the filter

[@johndean2925]

Special feeling when you do your own maintenance. Funny how the elation when it all works is equal to the disappointment when you give it everything you have to find out late at night and you are by yourself that there are still things needing to be fixed :>(.

When you put the Freightline Cab down be sure the CLUTCH PEDAL LINKAGE is free. When it sticks it breaks. Common problem you may already know about.

[@realwildwildwest]

Thanks man. I can’t remember off hand what the wheel base is. Not as long as it looks.. with the short bunk and being a cabover. I’ll have to measure it sometime.

[@oregonfordguy9812]

i just scooped up a 89. 11.1 detroit 9 spd 4.30 rears.

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

Not good that fuel line rubbing on the pvc air line it looked like. If my engine didn't have a primer system on it I would start mine with starter fluid and let the engine pull the fuel up into the engine and let the motor prime the lines. You have to be careful with starter fluid because it washed the oil off the cylinder walls if you use too much. little squirts is all you are supposed to use and once the motor starts just little shots to keep it running. So you do not scorch the cylinder walls with the rings on the pistons.

[@robertengster5643]

Keep moving forward Cool stuff.

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

[@realwildwildwest]

Ektech I believe is the brand. It was given to me by a guy who sold me a different truck many years ago. Not sure if they make anything like it anymore. If not, you can look into getting a laptop 💻 with Cummins insite. That’s my next move coming up.

[@ezravantassel5639]

I buy 12volt fuel car pump, connect to fuel line,and canister which diesel,pumper fuel to all systems, and start.

[@abikerinpa]

Keep the videos coming ,my new friend ! 🍺😎

[@toby0395]

Hydraulic hose is a bad idea for fuel lines, it will get you by in a pinch, but the rubber is not designed for fuel so the diesel can break down the hose prematurely and you can suck chunks of rubber into your fuel system damaging your pump and injectors.

[@realwildwildwest]

We ll see how they do. Got several thumbs up for use with diesel… but you never know till you know. There’s two filters ahead of the pump, so chunks of debris would never reach the pump, but I’ll keep an eye on that first filter and see if I ever start noticing anything

[@Craftmaster37]

Great video on doing your own maintenance it has to be fulfilling! I am curious how the sawdust was coming out of the back of the trailer I know you said it was hydraulic but what displaces the sawdust out of the trailer what moves it?

[@realwildwildwest]

I did a video last year on putting sawdust down, i think I showed up close how the trailer works. If you can’t find it, look up walking floor trailer on KZbin.

[@hoists1829]

Hi. OK, I see you had to replace a cab latch at the rear. Have you had any trouble with the hinges at the front of the cab? Thanks, Take Care. P.S. Nice to see you have your thinking caps on for the beef management.

[@realwildwildwest]

Hey there, front can bushing are ok still. I did buy a set from Frieghtliner a couple years ago and have sitting on the shelf for when the time comes

[@chrismartin223]

I'm no mechanic, mind you, but what if you have a T-junction (with valves) in one (or more) places a long the fuel line, so you manually can attach a device to the fuel-system to "pump" fuel from the tank up to the T-junction. I have similar (but backwards) system to pump sea-water out of my boat.
