Joe, the master link if you haven’t found it yet, look at 53:09 to the right of the chain the master is right next to it

[@AdrenalineRushMX]

good eyes haha

[@yardarm5]

. was wondering if anybody else saw that 😂🎉

[@jaredpratt9733]

It sure was lol

[@darrencolbeth5119]

I saw that to. Wow

[@keyper555]

Saw it too, surprised he didn't, his hand was like inches from it lol, well worth putting few bucks into it since investment was $0.00

[@wesleyblanton2432]

I heard the starter screaming to stop the abuse all the way out here in California!

[@kencramer1697]

I worked at a polaris dealership back in the 1990's with my best friend. We didn't have many of the 6X6's come in but when they did they were beat to hell. Started at that place as yard boys just moving display machines up to the front lot at open and moving them back at close. Doing prep work on new units going out (Install battery, wash, check tires etc) until one day the mechanic we had quit and the owner walked in the back and saw the back log of work. Pointed to the manuals and told us to start working on them. Only had the job for about a summer but it was a blast. We had access to 4 Wheelers to ride and access to the demo water craft out at the lake. We learned a lot that summer.

It's a new trend on youtube so he's jumping on the bandwagon

[@GettingNervous]

And this thing is useless.

[@slagdemon]

I absolutely hate it. if it sparks, the plug has a 99.99999% of being good. It's useless filler.

So true, and I hate him for it lol....

[@bryanrulz3904]

I love how Joe just gets on these old rust buckets and gives them hell! LOL. You gotta see what these things can do. Love the channel brother. Keep on wrenchin'.

[@stephen8117]

Joe is a Master Mechanic, so impressed. Young guy is magic with motorcycles.

[@samstone2007]

Great video. Only thing missing on this channel is cleaning/painting to get them in sellable shape. Nothing overboard, just a nice clean and touch up. The before and after would be so satisfying.

[@MarkAlan-no7mb]

That's what I don't understand about him. He's Good and tracing firing/fuel problems. But wont sand blast nothing or repaint nothing. I've done amazing things with$40 worth sand paper and paint. Maybe he's not a paint and etc guy. But most people are that know anything about motorcycles so 🤷

[@RedRabbit4230]

​@MarkAlan-no7mb he might not sand blast stuff butt I've seen 4 of his kids. IN 2 of them he took a drill wire brush cleaned stuff off and REPAINTED WITH HIGH GLOSS THAT HAD A PRIMER MIX ALREADY ADDED...So in my opinion that has him at a 50% rate of painting on his shows..

[@TenRing69]

Now that's a deer hauling machine. Another magnificent find Joe!

[@Carmela-bixoxo]

FREE is my favorite 4 letter word.

No way me too. Very underused nowadays on bike listings.

[@madmax82988]

Mine is BOOB. Fletcherjacobs yes you can. I can't think of any 4 letter word you CaNt SaY on here

[@ajc5370]

We can see why it was free and to be honest the seller probably would have paid you to take it away! But it's also great to see that somebody got their money's worth out of that old Polaris, somebody spent big bucks on this thing brand new nothing with the Polaris name on it was cheap! Great job getting her running!

[@rvmonkey1669]

Usually, if you have a bent valve you will see a very loose rocker, you were also wondering why the spark plug was so wet with no compression you’re going to have a wet spark plug does matter how much spark you have those notorious for dumping raw fuel into the intake as well.

[@jerrywilcox9890]

Not true at all

[@jaijua2348]

Congratulations, if it is free it is welcome, I think that if you save it for a while, you will be able to use it when you build your own track, as a bus or taxi to move around the future track, you are a mechanical genius, greetings

[@user-fi3fx5my2s]

Got another big bore 660 to 686 to do today. Guss I better get my guys going... great vid Joe. I got a younger guy helping out, his thing is always " what would Joe do"? Brian my assistant always says clean the carb.. lol.

[@kenjohnson5498]

I honestly thought it would be a hell of a rough ride across the field but it seems to float pretty nicely. The master was laying right next to where you looked at the chain the first time.

[@groundhog8148]

You got that right same thing with his double walk around at the beginning of the video or all his driving on the “ land”

[@lukeromeril2052]

Wicked deal! Probably took a bit for the valve sealing surface to clean up then that fixed your back fire. As for the shifting there are some detent pins that get rusted stuck in there, clean those up and you should have low range.

[@william6526]

That dump box could be rebuilt for a couple hundred dollars if you know how to weld. Flat steel is still affordable . That old machine would be nice to have around the home. You don't need to worry about scratching or beat it up and it good be a work horse.

[@fishn365]

Another awesome find and video! Thanks for sharing your talent and ability

[@andrewgrace4410]

Nice Joe, loved seeing that pressure shoot up after the valve adjustment 😊

[@CC-en2lj]

Awesome find and super interesting to see these mad max type vehicles get running. I would turn down the volume in the editing software when you do the spark test (and also the beeping battery)… they jump the sound super loud.

[@dirtbikes_cows_farming5]

Them old Polaris's are bullet proof we had a old Polaris side by side man i dunno hom many ditches that thing got sent over not a problem with it 8000 sold still running great it sat 4 five months fired right up

Even though I don't ride any of the vehicles you work on, I still enjoy watching your channel.

[@Randallpw]

I picked up a non-running 2001 Polaris 6x6 kind of on a whim a few years ago. I mostly just thought it was cool but it has been an absolute workhorse. I use it for just about everything around the yard, I don't want to imagine life without it now

[@Joeknow77]

Love ur videos and trying to learn more about working on these types of engines. Can u explain more of the what and why when u do it .

[@georgepretnick4460]

Joe, we're all in awe of your diagnostic skills, but your deeper skill includes researching engine specifications and finding parts for 20 to 40+ year old small engines and machines.

[@TruthHurtsSomet1m3s]

Wait, do you not realize these are staged repairs? An engine doesn't just get one super tight valve, lol.

[@aidanleahy7208]

The frequency of these boring uninformative videos is increasing at an alarming rate. He is just hell bent on getting to the magic million. He/They must be loading up the stuff that they have accumulated from a stock pile. He is the front man presenting the videos, everything is set up for him and he tries miserably to make it looks like he knows what he is talking about. I know that there are those that would say "why do you watch him" I comment the way I do because I want people to just be aware that they are increasing his revenue.He is so not up front about the way he produces this highly questionable material.

[@fitzfarm8694]

I often wonder where he even finds all these machines. Let alone has time to go pick them up, repair them and post a video on them. I do believe he is a rather skilled mechanic though. I also wonder where his money comes from. With his current subscriber count and lack of sponsorship there is no way he can afford to buy machines, parts, new house (within the past few years), black top his driveway, buy 50acres of land. And he is talking about building a new shop.

its not that hard lol

"I think we need a bigger garage" - haha that line just killed me. Keep up the good work, we're learning from you man.

[@PoppinWheeliez]

Backfiring through the carb is also a sign of a vaccum leak. You need to expand the shop....sandblaster, vapor blaster and a powder coat oven. Deal done.

[@warrenm374]

Or no air filter

[@grabir01]

Nice. I would use 15-40 or 20-50w high zinc to protect cam lobes.

[@shartne]

You are good at adjusting valves. From watching you I noticed that is the problem a lot of the time that and cloged pilot. I noticed you didnt oil the rusty chain then it threw the master link off. It had lots of compression. Some paint would help the looks and maybe some welding some new iron on that rusty bed where it needs it. Pretty nice for free. Woo Hoo! I like that it is a six wheeler.

[@gman77gas]

Would make a great farm atv with a few repairs. Stick minimum money in it.
