[@darylstorer3369]

G'day Steve. Been a while since I've heard that pharse, throw a leg out of bed, let alone block it off and bring her home on five. Loved the banter with your dad and the dipsticks. Keep at it cobber.🤠

[@RobBlair-we4gp]

Very innovative, she’s a runner and then some! Nice use of a diesel sounds great!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you Rob. I like designing thing’s like this mate and making it all work. I works really well

[@theleastofhisbrothers]

Amazing work just welding cast is a feat in itself let alone moving starters and the rest brilliant love you work Steve

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you mate. It took a bit of working out and I only had hand tools really apart from getting flywheel machined

[@theleastofhisbrothers]

[@stevesplacedownunder]

She would be a great truck. They were known for rust though which is a shame but hopefully you can tidy her up. I’m uploading right now a video of us working my 903 in the Ford. Should be up in an hour. Thanks for the great feedback

[@roberthocking9138]

As you said, same as diesel creeks, great motor to put in it, runs like a top 👍

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate yes it is the same as his. She does run nice indeed

[@kevinboardman3060]

Great job my friend.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you Kevin

[@josephdelawder7089]

In the U.S. alot of the old International diesels started on gasoline and switched over to diesel to run. So oneside was gasoline and the other side was diesel. They were used in farm tractors and heavy equipment.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate yes I’ve seen these. A mate of mine has a TD24 like this

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Steve, with a bit of thinking you can make almost anything work together, top job mate, Cheers

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Gday Matty. Thanks for watching mate. Yes that’s right. I like thinking these things through and making it work. Thanks again and keep an eye out for an email too mate

[@regjames1839]

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Gday Reg this is great and thanks for reaching out. I’m slowly growing it mate. There’s a lot to look at before this and a lot to come so hopefully you can enjoy it all. Thanks for your support, it helps us a lot. Thanks again Reg

[@geraldingram9351]

Love the engine swap on the Galion,awesome.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you Gerald

[@jeffdayman8183]

Great to see the grader riding the roads again Steve. Nice swap. The land crusher engine should last a long while. Love the turbo whistle. Cheers!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

She will do the job for many years to come mate indeed

[@avit24]

Love the ol 2h-t.. have one here in me 60 in Wales uk

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Fantastic mate indeed. Thanks for watching

[@gordonagent7037]

Great to see blokes saving old iron, they were built to last back then. Love the content of your channel

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Gordon thanks for watching. I try to save what I can mate. It’s getting harder as things are worth more now but I still come across stuff within my reach

[@robertstevison1448]

Awesome morning brother and little sister another awesome adventure as always

[@pete-mate3524]

Loving the ingenuity of keeping the old donk going for a few more years!!......And for 'shoe-horning' in the 2H. Bloody awesome! I may be wrong here, but my understanding is that the 'H motor' and the '2H' were industrial engines originally made by Toyota's sister company, Hino.......hence the "H". I could be wrong, but it sounds like a good yarn, so I'm going to run with it! Ha ha!! Another awesome vid', Steve!! :-)

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Gday Pete thank you. I’m going to also believe you on this because I’ve never heard this but it does sound right. I know the 2h were in a lot of the cruisers in that era. It certainly does sound like a good yarn mate so I’m with you

[@avit24]

H heavy end of the cruiser motors... L (bundera) light end of the cruiser motors..

[@robertstevison1448]

Great to see yall again !!! Great to see your dad with you brother

[@alandawson2813]

Awesome video mate, from kiwi land.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Alan thank you mate

[@sambo9068]

Great way to save both the grader and Tojo donk mate , Keep up the good work

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you Sambo. It works well mate

[@johnjordan4647]

Our first Landcruiser was a 1986 60 series but it had the factory fitted turbocharger. We traded it up to a 100 series but the turbo model had not been released in Australia then so had to settle for the naturally aspirated diesel. Certainly noticed the difference, so much in fact we got rid of it and bought a 2006 model Sahara with turbo diesel which we still have . Thanks for the video Mate

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi John yes they weren’t really powerful without the turbo. Reliable but steady. Great vehicle all the same. My pleasure

[@graeme02]

Toyotas are practically bulletproof if you look after them. I've had my Landcruiser since I brought it new in 93. All my mates said I was nuts to pay $52,000 for it back then but, it will still take me anywhere. Those same mates have been through dozens of cars in that time so, it was cheap in the long run. It's still great to drive.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

They certainly are Graeme. It is a lot of money but pay for what you get mate and they are a great product

[@arm_luvr1002]

Very clever Steven

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you mate

[@zonie1953]

Thanks for the video mate ! I was born not far from the Galion factory in Galion Ohio . I remember when I was a kid seeing all the new machinery lined up all around that place ! Scott 🌵

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Scott my pleasure mate. This is interesting that your near where they were built. Would of been good to see

[@robertstevison1448]

You are an awesome magician brother that's an awesome gift to be able to able to make things happen

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you Robert. I try mate.

[@robertstevison1448]

I would love to come down there brother and live for awhile and take adventures with you to see all of Ole iron that is just hanging around

[@holdenbrougham1056]

Hi Steve great way of re powering grader, and at least spare part for 2h are readily available, sounds good too, whistlen well!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. Thanks. Yes parts are easy enough to get. It works and sounds great

[@baldydbt1443]

Thanks

[@stevesplacedownunder]

This is great and thanks very much Baldly. Very much appreciated mate

[@LordGrievous1970]

Those dipsticks and fuel gauges are pretty hard to find nowadays, I've heard you have to look pretty hard in the bush to find the right length. 🤣🤣🤣

[@johngibson3837]

Got exactly the same fuel gauge on my unimog except it's in metric and not wired up

[@evilgrin123]

Skills 💪

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you 🙏

[@jimmyjazz9014]

A work of art 👍apart from kiwis and aussies, I wonder who else uses the leg out of bed term. Awesome vids!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks as always mate

[@jimrio3628]

Steve, great job refitting the Toyota engine to the grader. How many miles did you say were on that engine. Your dad runs a lot of your equipment, where did he learn from. As i said many times, real educational videos. Love to hear about your wildlife. Today is Thanksgiving in the states, a real family day. The remainder of my family is out of state but we talk often. You have my support mate, as always a real pleasure watching your videos. Jim Rioux

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Over 900,000 kms. He has been in equipment and trucks since a very young age mate. Thanks as always and sorry for the late reply

[@baldydbt1443]

Hey Steve it's Baldy here as always great work and videos keep up the great work bloke and where's the link to get your merch anyway all the best keep up the great work the Aussie way 👍

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Baldy, sorry for the late reply mate. Thank you mate and link is in the channel description. Not the episode one. Thanks again

[@stuartbailey3824]

Another great video mate. Have you watched I think they are recorded in Pakistan where they repair engines that have put a rod out of the block. They weld the hole up and machine the crank and replace the rod all done outside in the dirt 😂😂😂

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks Stuart yes mate I’m intrigued by those Pakistani blokes and look forward to watching them work on their videos

[@donstewart2059]

I wonder if you used the 6x6 acco rear end and the engine and make it power the grader

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Anything can be done I guess mate. Very possible

[@merlepatterson]

I imagine you may have seen what #DieselCreek went through on his Galion rebuild.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate yes I’ve seen what he’s done with his. Same model but his is petrol/gas. Thanks for watching

[@merlepatterson]

@@stevesplacedownunder Matty sent me over.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Fantastic mate. He said he was going to give a shoutout. He’s a nice bloke

[@merlepatterson]

@@stevesplacedownunder He's a good man for sure.

[@Zealdave2223]

Thanks Steve love the vids. Loved the one on UD diesel 2 strokes as I am a big fan of the Detroit and I knew nothing of the UD. I am sad too as it looks like there was not enough interest in the Acco story. I thought it would be so interesting one. I remember them from the early stages of my carrier and do vagally remember changing gears on one, only a few times around the yard as it had sort of been retired.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. I’m glad I showed these to you. Very popular here years ago. The Acco will still happen. Already recorded it but want to make a few changes which haven’t yet happened because of other videos. It will happen mate

[@jonkvh]

Can understand why you don't watch Diesel Creek much anymore.

[@freetotravel4793]

I still watch Matt from Diesel Creek, Sam from Scappy Industries and Derek from Vice Grip Garage.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

I don’t watch a lot of KZbin with the time I’ve got and since doing it myself I try to watch the smaller channels to support them basically is all it is.

[@jonkvh]

@@stevesplacedownunder Well, on today's episode of DC, we got to find out how you install 'split-system'' air conditioners.

[@jonkvh]

The latest one was shifting a pile of dirt from one side of the yard to another.

[@bhean7747]

What kind of turbo is that ?

[@stevesplacedownunder]

I’m not sure mate, I can’t honestly remember

[@pm270100]

Thanks! buy your old man a coffee //say something not right see how hard he bites get it on tape bill is a stirrer

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate thanks very much for this. I can’t thank you enough actually. Sorry for the late reply too. A lot of comments and it’s hard to keep up. There’s plenty more to come so please enjoy those also.

[@pm270100]

leg out of bed use it all the time /// old toyota be what 100HP and a shit load of FT /LBS

[@stevesplacedownunder]

It would probably be 100hp yes mate. It has plenty of torque to move this machine along. Does the job nicely

[@IchliebeHunde58]

I’m glad you were able to re-power a neat, useful machine. Haha I’d never heard the expression “it threw a leg outta bed” but I somehow knew exactly what you meant. Thanks for sharing, mate.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you James
