Seeing What Can Be Salvaged... Extracting The Damaged Equipment From The Collapsed Museum Buildings!

[@Lazzar1958]

Speaking of damage & destruction, 'Halfass Kustoms' Brent's shop burned down. We were as devastated as he & his family were. Luckily no lives lost, but many treasures & memories gone. Hopefully the best is yet to come for him as he rebuilds. ☹

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

Very kind of you to take the time to help out the museum. Nothing better than neighbors helping neighbors in need! Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@buckeyejim2989]

👍🗿

[@dennishernden2264]

You're a good man for helping out.

[@tonygiraldes7848]

Such a sad situation but nice to see the community rally behind the museum 😊 much respect ✊

[@joshuajosephhughcolquitt8170]

Good to see ole morstke helping the community what was the yellow bobcat with wheels looked unique 😊

[@MacGoog0]

Wouldn't Pudden be jealous of that power washer/fire truck.

[@dennishenderson2559]

The old iron is always a treat to see preserved not much of it around anymore duff approved

[@johncatalano7185]

Hey Tom: Like a good neighbor...Mortske is there!!! Once again, the pride of Sargent County made the effort to clean up and salvage the damage from the Sargent County Museum... Goes to show that the best folks out there come from the small towns... From the home of PB Blaster and Permatex,,, Cleveland, Ohio... (Hope you got rewarded with some sammitches afterward) Mount Mortske comes down June 15th!!!!!

[@garyrobinson8991]

Heartbreaking to see all the old iron so badly damaged ! Good to see all the community help….!

[@michaelowens772]

It’s like watching Andrew Camarata but even better ! Rock on Mortske !

[@papeep2694]

Good of everyone to give their time and equipment to help save the museum. Thank you for having us along.

[@danswartwood4580]

Thank you for your service Mortske

[@ronwhy4893]

I bet your puddin is definitely jealous. He would definitely love to have that as a pressure washer. Lol. And you are definitely a blessed and caring giving man. Love your content. Can't wait until Monday to watch your next video.

[@justinlehman4954]

Love to see the community coming together to save this history. I'll definitely make it a point to come see this museum next time I'm in the area.

[@marksettles6695]

I watch all your videos, only comment occasionally, thus is, another video that shows what community, neighbors and friends do in America. We come together and help in hard times. This was one of your best.

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Much appreciated Mark!

[@russelladams6432]

Very cool of you to volunteer your time, equipment and experience. It is sad to see all that interesting history damaged like that. I grew up mostly in Sioux City, Iowa, but have been lucky enough to live in a few smaller towns and it still amazes me the heart and willingness of others in those small towns to help when needed. Even strangers. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@bradsmn]

You're a good man Mr Mortske. I was happy to donate and I hope they can rebuild. Small towns are fortunate they have your employer near by.

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Much appreciated Brad!

[@richardphelan8414]

This was great what you and the other people did to volunteer their time and resources to rescue these treasures from the past hopefully they will be repaired and put back on display

[@Kiki-Kauai]

Heartbreaking seeing those old gems lined up there knowing they had been buried. Sad biz. I’ve been thru a few OK tornadoes this reminded me of. But what an awesome group of guys getting in there and pulling them out. 🌺

[@braddokken9191]

That is so sad. It is good to see the younger generations pick up where the older generations left off. Judging by the way everyone pitched in the museum is in good hands.

[@iHap]

Well done Sir Thomas! Duff: Unconditional love. Love the Duff!

[@greegarage6349]

To be honest, it is surprising that in such a snowy state, someone guessed to make a hangar of such a large area out of wood. Gold medal for him (sarcasm). Sorry for my english, not my native language

[@stucook8622]

Thanks for the Friday matinee! It's cool there was a big crew to help with this mess. And as always thanks to the editing department 🐾🍺

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Nice Video , good cause , seeing Mortske run all types of equipment that is a tad unfamiliar , but most of all giving time to the locals shows team spirit when it is needed . God Bless you and yours , take care , and be well . Stuart in Ontario ............................

[@JJDFN]

Did I ever tell you how much I love people? More Mortske gold.

[@johnmccanntruth]

Cool of you to help out!

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

That was a big clean up effort! Wow, lots of equipment comes in handy. Thanks for the video!

[@Shield.148]

Thanks for volunteering in the clean up effort. Please suggest to them to use shipping containers as exterior walls. (They are relatively cheap, and very sturdy) Then construct a steel roof over the top. That way they can use the interior of the containers for storage, or displays for smaller items.

[@SuperMAZ007]

What a good man helping out the museum in the cleanup afford. The best part was Mortske driving the trucks. Definitely do more twin stick shift action in the future. I think most of the sheet metal can be fixed on the collapsed museum tractors. But a few things might be a real bummer to be fixed. The Mouline gas tank can be straightened out cause these are not so easy to find anymore. I'm interested in the axel seal leak fix video.

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Ha, I need an education on truck driving!

[@williamm3820]

Top man for giving up his time and resources to help out other folks :) Hopefully they can salvage and repair as much as possible

[@gophersk]

Good job guys. Smaller communities come together to make things happen. Don't be to hard on the blue hairs.. they supply our volunteers with coffee, lunch, bbq etc for our workers. Enjoyed seeing the community spirit. Keep up the good work.

[@moremortskerepair4354]

They gave us bbqs!

[@mfcjr1]

Good to see you all come together to help the museum. I hope the rebuild is built more sturdy than the old building. You can see that it was not built for weight.

[@nancykitzinger3078]

Awesome to see so many working together to clean things up and rescue everything. Hopefully, anything damaged can be repaired! ❤

[@crunchycowboy3206]

Look, Mortske did some power washing on a large scale. His humble side was showing in this video. Mortske has a generous heart. Keep up the good work mate !

[@skipstein744]

Thanks for your efforts to preserve our heritage. Onward!

[@skipstein744]

What caused the building to come down?

[@moremortskerepair4354]

snow load

[@jerryshelton1481]

You're definitely a good guy for helping out with that museum send some help halfass kustoms way his shop was destroyed by fire and he needs all the support he can get

[@George-dy3pt]

Go help him then

[@gregdiamond6023]

Kudos to you Mortske. I know that really helped the museum and I was glad to see history preserved. Let the restorations begin.

[@jerryhurley1068]

Some things interest me, some dont. I can tell ya positively that I dont give a whiff of a piss about old farm equipment. But i do like to see dudes banding together to save something important to them. Pretty inspiring to see all of you cleaning up that mess to rebuild the old museum. You guys didn't have to do it. You wanted to. Thats incredible to see nowadays. Well done sir.

[@astravanmk2]

You are stand up guy! Helping those in need.

[@bobtucker8875]

It is kinda sad to see the damage, but it's all fixable. Great job guys 👍.

You're a wildman driving that telehandler over there. I've driven a gradall a few miles before, and it sucked even though it was supposedly highway ready.

Since you we’re hanging around and doin Puddin things lately, he must’ve learned you how to dance a little bit at least. It would be real entertaining to see your version of it! If you and Pookie did it together triple ☑️!

if you push the clutch pedal all the way down the clutch brake will stop the transmission from turning thus no gear grinding. i have to believe you know this and perhaps the clutch brake is out of adjustment. you get a hats off for the help you are giving.

that truck cam view made me flashback to the 60's when my dad used to take me on trips (he owned a Diamond Reo) I was a wee lad who slept in the passenger seat and that view was close to mine as we traveled. I got to see the country through a windshield at an early age. fun summers when i wasn't in school. Got quite the education lol.

Good memories!

[@Hobodeluxe960]

@@moremortskerepair4354 yeah I have this real good story about the time he ran over a skunk and it slung upon the wheel well and go up close to the motor and just filled the truck with musk. so he drops into this truck stop to get an air freshener and you know how these old truck stops on the old highways were , the only ones they had were topless girls. so this 10 yr old got his eyes full watching those things sway in the wind all day lol.
