south branch update

pedal cars , horse buggies , cold starts ,
and a couple thank you shout outs .
a south branch cold start is the rarest of all cold starts,
it has never been seen outside of captivity and is
akin to viewing haley's comet dont miss out . lol

[@805ROADKING]

That kid thought is was Christmas!! That's cool another generation gets to enjoy that thing!! It probably needed to be repainted before you left but WTF that's what they were made for!! Thumbs up from ROADKING!!☺

[@rickvayo5980]

I have a 1969 Cub Cadet I need restored. How do I get in touch

[@edzgarage]

He sure was happy to get that car. You need kids Buddy, you'd be a good Dad. That would be a cool hit and miss project. None of the tractors let you down. No need to thank me Buddy, your the best! I'm having a great time jamming with you too.

[@farmboy30117]

Well since your happy with your tractors, I guess you could start restoring some of the old implements that went with them. Better get a bottle of touch-up paint for that pedal car!

[@yourbeekeeper]

Great to see an update, and you know that kid will wear the tires off that car. That was fun to watch him immediately figure out what to do. Take it easy Mr 500. Stay warm.

[@groutaone]

What a lucky kid, he just loved the car but I'am sure it was more fun for you to see him enjoy it, your awesome 500! I like your idea with the hit n miss engine on the buggy

[@CaptJohnsBar]

if anybody could make that buggy go with a Hit and Miss i spect it would be you !....Your gonna need a shed for your toys.

[@ShawnCFarm]

Hes going to get hours of play time out of that. You repaint your fork truck, it looks out of place now.

[@marcelstjean]

holy crap its 500. right on bud.. ;-] that peddal car rocks. great vid cheers to ya.

[@Needmorehorsepower]

Thats awesome Sherman will be a very welcome member of the family for sure,Lou better not lip off to sherman lol.Nice to get the ladys out and stretch there legs. HEY!!!! thx for the shout out 500 but i was just helping a buddy out we were honored to have you here buddy and i know what its like to get you to drive to the grocery store let along to ill lol Thanks for coming out 500.All i can say is they dont come much better then EDZgarage I still gotta hear more cow bell baby!!!

[@500passwords]

@CDNcatskinner awesome man , my buddy just started learning banjo . it took me months of playing to get my fingers loosened up . you just have to do it everyday even if its only for 10 minutes. keep the banjo where you hang out on a stand so its easy to pick up and play :) dont hide it in a back room .

[@CDNcatskinner]

Glad to see the new vid, holy cow thats a big mastiff! Want you to know that because of seeing folks like yourself with extracurricular talents (Guitar) I finally took the plunge at almost forty and got a banjo...any tips on the tendonitous of the fingers? Does it go away?...lord this finger picking is going to be the death of me ;-)

[@Wallabydam]

@500passwords I hear ya man, that ol pull buggy would look neat with a maytag on it, i have a old popular mechanics from early 50 or 60s showing something like that with plans on how to build something real similar to that. think it would be neat for sure.

[@groutaone]

@500passwords I'am sure that would be entertaining for us all

[@Commetsgarage]

you should try to find and old ford lawn tractor there nice

[@500passwords]

@MemphoeWest lol . im a member of the "sears suburban backyard tractor club " the head office of the SSBTC is north of me so we call it the north branch and my place is the south branch. the south branch rules :)

[@500passwords]

@susanloveshuskies thanks susan , i forgot to thank you for having me in your in house, so thanks :) , believe it or not they have to bring lou back to me today cause hes being mean to sherman . lol

[@Stevestractoradventures]

Nice vid man . The wheel horse is running lean. back the mixture screw out maybe a 1/4 or 1/2 a turn should fix your problem. Or in mechanics terms your riching up the mixture of fuel and air.

[@ShnitzlHaus]

thats nice of ya buddy, that kid will be happy forever. I remember driving one when I was younger, never owned one but always wanted to. also with that wagon check out fords first one seems the same.

[@500passwords]

@MemphoeWest i got 7 videos on the sears suburban , i show the entire wrecker build . i had ratings turned off when i posted them . go check em out and hit the thumbs up :)

[@Peppercatkeith]

lookng 500 glad to see the peddle car in use. hope he dont break something with it lol. when are you going to geat a dirty old allis chalmers to restore? have a good one man.

[@CraigArndt]

Good stuff there 500. Love your collection of tractors.

[@jster1963]

That was real cool giving that pedal car to a kid that will play with it. That is what it's for! Great job! ps. He's gunna kill that paint job;-)

[@500passwords]

if you meant the tractor in pieces its a roper tractor my buddy is scavenging engine off of for his sears project. thanks for watchingiii

[@500passwords]

@AD4203 storms were south of me , thanks for asking :) i wasnt painting head lights so they could be rammed into the wall . lol

[@utoobube]

HeHe! The look on that boys face, you just made his day! A hit and miss would be sweet on that buggy. I love your collection of old garden tractors, Im lookin at an old david bradley myself. They're askin $350 for it and its a complete running tractor with the deck, Id love to get it and restore it like you've done with your tractors. (Im assuming you resto'd em yourself) Wow, thats a damn neat tow rig ya got there!. Choke out usually means a clogged air/fuel passage. Cool vid man.

[@500passwords]

@JimsEquipmentShed thanks jim . i wanted one of them to be used at least . the other 2 just look cool in my living room :)

[@junkman6261]

Hey 500, GREAT idea on the maytag buggy!! Looking forward to that, or maybe a steam engine on the buggy would be cool too, but they are very complicated to build and expensive to buy. Oh well, I know you will make it cool anyway. Two thumbs up cause that's all I have. Good luck to ya 500 and Edzgarage!

[@xXHeyItsChuuchXx]

hey 500 good to see ya back on the air buddy...ive got a question for ya i have acquired an old craftsman solid state cast iron engine and i dont know much about it and havent been able to find much either. Do you think if i made a video about it you could tell me somethin about it??? yer help would be awsome!!

[@500passwords]

@TheSaturnV thanks buddy . i sold the buggy today . lol local farmer with horses made me offer i couldnt refuse :)

[@500passwords]

@grumpyswede thats my garden tractor wrecker attachment i made :) check out my sears suburban 7 video to see it in action

[@500passwords]

@utoobube thank you friend , i definitely restored them myself . lol i got a lot of elbow grease invested in all 3 :)

[@TheBigspoon1]

Thats one hell of an Idea putting a hit-n-miss engine on the buggy. That little boy looked like he really enjoyed the pedal car, and that is one toy he can grow old with. great vid 500 take care oh and I am honered to have watched the rarest of rare cold starts...lol

[@500passwords]

@RooneysSears01 oh yeah , thats much more common . its right in between bigfoot and lochness monster sightings :)

[@500passwords]

@ShawnCFarm thanks man , he loves it . no , i didnt paint the forktruck . just sitting in diff. place i guess :)

[@500passwords]

@MemphoeWest thanks buddy . massey's are cool . i like them all , but that sears wrecker is one of a kind :)

[@500passwords]

@RooneysSears01 thanks buddy , the north branch needs time to catch up. they ride the short bus up there. lol

[@500passwords]

@edzgarage rock on brother , but you can keep them kids . lol my shop would be full of kids cars like yours :)

[@500passwords]

@groutaone thanks grout , i wish you and roadking were my neighbors so you could help on the buggy :)

[@500passwords]

@chev03030303 thanks buddy, yeah i have a heart :) i removed it from the last guy who challenged me . lol

[@500passwords]

@mbyr31 FGA ??? for gazing at ?? lol and yes , trace is a dick . he always instigating trouble :)

[@500passwords]

@TheFred1952 you like that idea huh :) talk roadking into donating a maytag to the south branch . lol

[@brian242]

Wlll glad you didnt die or some shit like that, Be safe down there, sounds like mother nature is giving you all the one two punch. Keep your head down and Rock On!

[@Wallabydam]

Holy shit i thought you went hollywood for a lil while there, you was long MIA, good to see ya back.

[@500passwords]

@TheBigspoon1 thanks buddy :) im honored that you were honored to witness such a rare event . lol

[@500passwords]

@mstetar 32x60 with 12ft sidewalls . bought it at menards for 8500 . some assembly required . lol

[@500passwords]

@xXHeyItsChuuchXx thanks buddy, im no engine expert but send me the video and i will do my best :)

[@RooneysSears01]

Good to see updates from ya 500! I saw the North branch took advantage of your downtime and put up a few videos. lol Great stuff 500 keep up the good work.

[@greglava]

Those pull throttles are crap. I have a '69 Wheel Horse and I have been through two of those throttles in a matter of months. I decided to get a dash plate, throttle and choke cables from a latter model that has the lever type handles, they work much better. I will keep the old dash if I want to put it back to stock.

[@500passwords]

@oldchevy4x4 thanks buddy. i wasnt sure about trying it but you guys seem to like the idea :)

[@MRSROCKINROBIN]

Awesome vid 500 !!!!!! The look on the little boy's face was totally priceless !!!!!!! Glad to see that the tractors fired up... . Merrie-Merrie

[@jstrunck]

Neat Idea on the buggy power and steering ideas. The pedcal car went to good hands, I 'll bet the kid will be happy for a long time! John

[@500passwords]

@mitym64 tiller huh ?? i like that idea :) thanks buddy , some dogs are just dicks . lol

[@500passwords]

@brian242 thanks buddy , it will take more than a storm to take out the south branch :)

[@500passwords]

@805ROADKING thanks roadking . im just waiting on you to find me the perfect engine :)

[@500passwords]

@Chooman69 dont tell tex about this . lol i didnt touch the muffler either , busted :)

[@speedfreak460]

I like mine it's still in pieces because i got tired of looking at it in rough shape, although there was no rust, it was time sandblasted the frame and now i gotta finish paintin and stuff.

[@susanloveshuskies]

How is Lou gonna rule that Sherman Tank? LOL The little man sure loved the pedal car; that was sweet.

[@ronaldwells1805]

It'll be cool if you can find a 1650 0r. 169 Cub Cadet for a project ........

[@500passwords]

@Palmetto4Liberty thanks buddy , it pulls the lawn roller pretty good . lol

[@oldchevy4x4]

That buggy would make a hell of a "horseless carriage". Thumbs up bud!

[@500passwords]

@MRSROCKINROBIN thanks merrie , hes just lucky i cant fit in it . lol

[@RooneysSears01]

So it sounds like more people witness bigfoot than a 500 cold start, is that about right?

[@500passwords]

@Needmorehorsepower thanks buddy , i keep telling ed more cowbell :)

[@GamersBar]

[@traildust32]

Good to see all is well down your way. I've yet to do my spring starts on my "fleet". Hope they start as well as yours did.

@workerman1969 thanks buddy , i just hope hes not a nazi spy . lol

[@500passwords]

@traildust32 thanks buddy . i hope they start first time for you :)

[@pontiachotshot]

when something runs on choke only it means clogged or dirty carb or lean fuel ratio.

[@500passwords]

@greglava if it was girlfriends there would be more than one . lol

[@tedlachcik1]

I have an old 1057 wheel horst that I plan on restoring some day and looking for more wheel horses watching your videos I learned a lot thanks
