Pulling Herbie off the Trailer Fail - Vw Beetle Transmission swap / install

[@michaelweilmuenster5754]

Dude, you are the hardest working car rescuer on KZbin. Others started their channels doing crazy revivals and now they do most of their work in a shop. Not you, I think I would have waited at least till it stopped raining. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@garymallard4699]

Well if you plan to do work a shop is an upgrade... most of us figure out quickly how much. your work improves having more Tools and a place to work in is a Must... but spending your life outside is your choice...he has a Shop too...😂

[@dudenamedclem]

Every time Josh is in the video I am absolutely amazed how quickly he is growing! Such a good son and happy he’s there for you and I’m sure learning so much. My youngest tries her best to help me out but is well past the age your boy is and has other priorities now. Keep being awesome!

[@michaeltondi8528]

You are the Dad I wish I had had. I love the way you interact with your son. I've been watching for a long time and it's so cool watching him grow up.

[@KenthGustafsson300]

[@glentucker4250]

I fell in love with the Herbie car after watching the movie as a kid. I think it’s really cool that you guys found and rescued this lil’ guy. Like you said, you’ve got a lot of irons in the fire but I hope he gets fixed up and gets back on the road where he belongs. Thank you so much J!

[@ameichholz]

Just dancing in the rain, just dancing in the rain... oh what a glorious feeling to have the beetle off the trailer :)

[@UkemanCad]

Things you can never un-see! And, of course, there is a hook holding it! the soapy deck was working so good!! Was that lightning!? Can it rain any harder!!! First wash, compliments of Mother Nature!

[@stephenricketts7764]

'We push cars around' . What a great job even in the rain. You watch these movies and think, 'does it really rain that hard in the USA'? Yes it does! At least Herbie is rolling once again. Glad Josh could help, he seems to be quite good at operating the Kubta, had a good teacher! Thanks for the shop update and thanks for another great video Jason. 👍👍

[@tolbaszy8067]

At least Josh doesn't have to watch cartoons to have entertaining videos! Thanks for sharing, Josh!

[@Lucas_Tulic]

Holy moly!! That raining escalated quicky there! You always pick the best days to work on your rescues, hey? Your struggles to give us content are greatly appreciated! 😂 Cheers from Argentina!

[@5150mxVW]

hi LT, thank you I appreciate that...typical day in the life for me there haha

[@abernathymonsoon4638]

OMG Your "mini-me" has SPROUTED!!!! Love seeing Herbie Jr rollin again. A true labor of love!

[@korosys]

Man that is some serious downpour I hope you’re staying safe with the high winds from the hurricane and all. Growing up watching Herbie I can understand the desire for this cars it’s very well done. Glad to see its in the right place 😊

[@Mike.Howard]

Gotta admire your perseverance getting Herbie off the trailer in that downpour!

[@5150mxVW]

thank you Mike

[@RustyRogers]

Another fine day on the East Coast!

[@RichardKaufman-g6b]

Mentally, I get right in the middle of your projects...I actually raced a '63 Beetle in the Pacific NW during the racing season of '65! My only real/chief opposition out of 12 cars in our class was a pair of racially-prepped 1275 Mini Cooper S's. I modified nearly everything I could to "optimize" what the stated "rules" allowed...12 lb flywheel, all internal moving parts were balanced, It handled better in the rain [w/ slight UNDERSTEER!] than did the Minis! It even out-handled 356 Porsches a bit in the wet! Ran it in a 5 hour ENDURO in British Columbia at the end of the season...it easily ran at 100mph+ for hours on end!...and didn't miss a beat!!! ...and DRUM [racing...] brakes performed flawlessly! Placed third in class at the end of the season! Dr. RM Kaufman/NW Oregon/USA.

Rollin, rollin, rollin, keep them ovals rollin pb blaster

[@glotube1028]

Well Jay, you made me really sad when you said you had too many projects. Just call it inventory, for your KZbin channel. You made me happy when you said you have more rescues! Yes! I never get bored of that. We live vicariously thru you! So keep it going, please.

[@Wiltshire-observer]

Well done Jason, that start of the video kept me chuckling!. Herbie got a good wash in all that rain. Josh was superb on that Kubota, a real pro !, well done to him, he’s growing up fast…

[@hardcorvancour]

I can imagine your neighbors looking out there window 👀 😆

[@pem1126]

🤣

[@IEchuckie]

Hey Fred. That crazy neighbor is at it again. Get the camera

[@lateefcarrere1649]

Weather adds 10% difficulty to trailer unloading...you should be leveling up soon. Thanks for the shop tour: the dune buggy and the Corvair look like they're worth the price.

[@5150mxVW]

thank you

[@vw64manyrd]

We always called it a Z-bar. Thanks for the videos. 👍

[@5150mxVW]

Yes ! The Z bar , thanks

[@jonobaywindow]

The 1967 VW ads in GB called it the Equaliser Spring. Like Edward Woodward's The Equaliser it tamed those Oversteerers😂

[@allenschmitz9644]

I allways called them Transaxles and that rain was so not CGI.

[@RickRose]

Interesting hearing your asking prices--Had no idea the dune buggies were so desirable. Would have thought the Corvair was worth more. To each his own! Thanks for sharing your exploits.

[@5150mxVW]

The fresh engine alone is worth more than the corvair …add the centerline rims and that’s 10k right there .

[@5150mxVW]

The real Manx buggies are astronomical

[@robertlibengood]

Brought back memories of 1967 my father and I replaced a 1962 trans . I kicked it in and busted the boot on heater cable tube. I caught hell . That was 12 bucks you damaged. It was the beginning of my love for VW's . I bought so many parts at the dealership they offered me a Job . Took it rest is history.

[@EZCheezyBeef]

Yer Boy is gettin big. I member when he was just a little squirt. Looks like he's being raised right. Kudos to you and Jen...

[@warrenmink2429]

Awesome man , great job . People can say all they want to about how easy that task is but I know it’s not like clock work but it ain’t easy . Time consuming.. yes . Thanks for the share .

[@kevinraider3102]

So glad you are ok. When Herbie came forward in the beginning of the video, I thought the jack flipped over and you were in front of it. Then you were gone for a while out of sight. Then you popped up and said got it with the strap.

[@paulalondon2919]

That was painful. Like the time your brother wrapped your birthday present with the whole roll of tape. took days to open it! lol

[@carsonwyndham9693]

I was thinking that was the heaviest VW on earth! Must have gold floorplans, that tractor can't even move it!

[@CrusadesOClock]

That first scene was from the unreleased Herbie goes to Vietnam movie

[@5150mxVW]

With a little Rambo

[@purple_ghost_dragon]

I love as soon as you got the strap of the front right it just started pouring raining! 😂😂

[@hardware5777]

[@rickblanchette]

LMAO! Like a heavy metal puddin. Should of had Fortunate Son playing in the background. Really good to see the boy helping you. If that corvair was the Spyder I would already be on 95 heading north and would be there in 2 days.

[@5150mxVW]

Now that sound is stuck in my head haha ! Thanks ! He’s playing in my area this month . I have to go see him . One of my top 10 , non Van Halen songs is “ Centerfield “ . Spring training in Fl for college I was playing center and they had that on during warm ups 😎😁

[@alfredamantijr3908]

Now I seen everything you are without a doubt the craziest person I ever know Paul’s car is off in a pouring rain storm lol. Big super fan your channel but I think you lost it. Keep making those crazy videos. I watch them all the way until the end. keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@cidercik]

In the pouring rain too! Dedication. Can't get anymore wet after a certain point...

[@josephperry6822]

It's great when the goofball comes out to play! Nice job keeping the entertainment value high! I always enjoy your video's man. Too many projects seem to be a theme with guys period! At least the ones that are doing well.

[@johnwilkinson5718]

I know this is off the subject, but did you know a coffee maker was an option on VW bugs starting in 1959. I didn't until I saw a picture of one today.

[@5150mxVW]

Hi John , I saw that this year as well . Pretty wild :)

[@johnwilkinson5718]

Found this on google: There's been a photo being shared online that shows a 1959 Beetle in Germany which had a coffee machine mounted to the dashboard. It's true, VW did try this. It was very rare, but it did exist. The coffee heated up by being plugged into the old lighter socket, similar to brewing tea. The cups were also held on by magnets.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! You just created new and soon very famous utube slogans: "First roll since... !" and "First push in soandso years"! Congratulations 🎉. Congrats also because you sell some cars. It's always better to have some more space for pushing the reminding vehicles around! 😁 ;-) 😋😜😝😛👅 Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all of you.

[@derekwalters6132]

Jason I blame Dubwerks for not being there to unhook the cable LOL, have done something similar, my wife and I went to take a boat ride we untied from the dock I go to back away from the dock and we stuck and basically not moving, come to realize we were still attached to the dock via a chain I have just in case the ropes let go. So pretty much doing what you were doing, great little video and holy crap that was some rain.

[@christopherrobin3111]

Been watching him for a couple years now...😂😂 It makes me want to sell my Blazer s10 so I can buy a bug...😮😂😂

[@pem1126]

Dude he is the best. I have watched all his videos and cant wait for his next one!

[@pem1126]

Hell his videos convinced me to sell my Harley and keep my VW's

Another great one. Fantastic first step toward the first start. Keep em coming. Now for a cold one.

Things are back to normal at Jason's house. I hear they have invented a thing called a "raincoat". Maybe you could look into that.

Mother nature’s car wash. Fun video Jason

[@jimgerock9190]

This so takes me back with my 66 with bent left axle. I got a 67 pan with engine and trans for free.

[@willwaconsya3433]

I had a 1957 bug. I rebuilt the 36 hp engine. Installed new heads. The one thing I did not like about that model was you always had to drop the engine out to work on anything major. The first gear always had a knock. Bad bearing. But I drove it that way several years till I sold it. Not a winter car for sure. I drove to Conn one year in a snow storm. Snow was blowing up out of the defrosters and ice on the dash. After that trip it was sold and I bought a brand new 1971 Jeepster commando.

[@pyoung168]

I was thinking as I watched the “get Herbie off the trailer in the pouring rain” scene…I bet he left the window down in the Toyota 😂…seems like a great idea to slim down your inventory so you can focus on your favs.

[@Strada62]

I'm guessing the gears are jammed between 2nd and 3rd, (someone tried power shifting a tired old gearbox) all you had to do is open the oil fill plug, stick a flat blade screwdriver in there and move the gears around forward and aft. that usually unjammes them. If that's what's wrong anyway.
