The Taylor Ice Cream Machine That Doesn't Exist... MAKES ICE CREAM

[@bearing_aficionado]

Oh man a 36 minute video with KZbin's favorite and probably smartest Dad!!!

[@scootersfrog]

i dunno he is def top teir .. i really enjoy Destin from Smarter Every Day's dad

[@jasonw3303]

No kidding. It’s hard not to learn something listening to him.

[@ricoolivier]

I don't know why but I feel really educated after an episode with JR Senior! He should be an instructor! Such a calm demeanor... No wonder junior is so brilliant!

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

JR Jr. has the opposite time dilation problem from a stoner. He says a couple minutes and it's like 20. That engine pull should only take a couple hours, three days later...but that's what makes this channel a fun place.

[@imkwuzn]

JR’s Dad is the bomb! He should have his own channel!

[@TheCurtisLogan]

I really enjoy the fact that John's dad is immensely knowledgeable on what appears to be all things. One moment is a car crusher the next an old ice cream machine. Amazing!

[@jeffdrake3224]

More impressive is how Sr takes the time to go over everything. The best people take the time to explain and mentor others. He spent more time explaining the ice cream machine than my father did in his life of telling me anything. JR is blessed to have Sr and so are we.

[@almostanengineer]

He’s proper old school engineer

[@tarstarkusz]

The boy is a complete ignoramus. He thinks everything was invented last week or something. It's fine that he doesn't know stuff, it's that he runs his mouth about stuff he knows nothing about. There was automated tool making in the 1930s. There was fully automated machining in the 1930s. You can literally watch 10 cast iron blocks being machined (to very close tolerances) in a ford or GM factory in the 30s right here on youtube. Most manufacturing is probably to lesser tolerances today (though the tightests are today). Just look at all the junk we get out of China with 1/4 inch or more tolerances. Parts that don't fit together.

I wish the non-existent ice cream machine made ice cream with non-existent calories

I think that’s called Ice Water 😂

@@chipb1193 Ice Cones! I believe they sell some sugar free flavorings too. Also, common in Asia, is a steel framed ice shaver that shaves ice with a blade. They make nice and fluffy shaved ice compared to today's countertop cube ice shavers. They take whole blocks of ice.

I love the dynamics of Father and Son... the connection, the bond, it is a love of understanding equipment, its function, operation, repair, and tools the tools that make it happen, a truly shared passion. I shared a similar experience with my Dad. When he was fighting leukemia and sorting out, giving away, all his worldly possesions, I asked him what he hated to part with most... "my tools" he said... golf clubs, cars, fishing and hunting gear, all the other stuff was junk, but it was his tools that he appreciated most and that he understood how to use them, something that too many did not understand nor appreciate, his tools were his most important treasure and something we shared. Enjoy your time with your Dad JR! It is very special, a bond like no other... THANK YOU! for sharing such an important part of your life. Craig Now about that ICE CREAM.... LOL

[@kerrylewis2581]

I would watch and listen to my Grandfather for hours. His tools and cigar boxes were full of nuts, bolts, washers, etc. were his prize possessions. Almost anything I needed, he had. I wish I could time-travel back for a day and tell him again how much he meant to me.

[@mikemontgomery7337]

Your dad needs his own channel !!

[@martinlaplante6228]

Ohh man i feel humbled every time i watch a video with your dad, could watch him for hours explaining stuff I'm not familiar with.

[@garylgoldberg]

Wanted to say the same.

[@RMonkey]

JR"S Father is definitely a person that I would always refer to as Sir, like yes Sir, thank you Sir. He stands out as a hard working man that deserves respect. He raised a respectable son as well. thanks for sharing this video.

[@deweywarner8010]

Oh for those times when dads did know everything about how things work. Makes me think back to my dad. Really good episode, very enjoyable. The only way your dad could be any smarter would be if he had more shirt pockets to stuff stuff in.

[@pappysperformance175]

Watching your dad work on things is so interesting. He's a walking encyclopedia of knowledge.

[@wriddle082]

Love seeing WatchSrGo light up at the very sight of soft serve! And I wanna see that Hot Fudge machine he was talking about! Can’t have soft serve without some sort of sauce or nuts/sprinkles/topping! 🍦

[@25Wineman]

I think I can speak for about 370000 people. A Senior video every 5-6 weeks or so would make us all happy. Have a great weekend everyone!

[@stephenellis3430]

Really enjoy videos featuring your dad. His knowledge and enthusiasm is a pleasure to watch. The vintage ice cream machines are ace. Nice to see them back working.

[@jacksmith3541]

When your dad said dq metal ice cream cans I knew exactly what they were. My folks owned dq's in TX 60s-80s and their first store was an old walkup store so in addition to using for cleaning machine they also made buckets of slush that was hand dipped from them. Very cool listening to explanation of what it takes to make the 1947 machine work. Great job y'all.

[@ezesrebuilds1174]

I hope this channel never ends and keeps spreading happiness.

[@elbarto4394]

I can't wait to buy watchjrgo brand ice cream!

[@GrantRTanner]

Man, you're Dad could fix anything. Seems like a skill that's being forgotten in today's consumer-centric world. What a cool machine!

[@smith6ar]

Too bad he didn't pass any knowledge on to his son

[@wadetyler5056]

With all of his knowledge and electro/mechanical abilities your Dad must/should be a multimillionaire. His expertise in so many areas should be mightily rewarded!

[@ashwb1]

Love it. My Dad was the chief of Taylormade in Western Australia a loooooooong time ago.. loved Saturday afternoons 'testing' soft serve machines from the USA...

[@coffeeseven]

Im guessing this is the only man on the planet that knows this machine like the back of his hand. Better than the back of his hand. This was a master class in old school HVAC.

[@robertluckowski2618]

John Ross, your dad is awesome! Way to spend time with the old man!

[@GeorgiaSteelerGuy]

Always great to see "The Tree" (your dad) featured. Would like to see more Gabe.

[@VanisleNSX]

Nice, I was hoping that you would do a part 2.

[@jayman4095]

I just learned more about an r12 refrigerant system in this video than I have in the past 10 years of dealing with R32. Mad props to your dad amazingwell-honed skills 👌

[@djwilliams4714]

Your Dad reminds me of my Grandfather, be happy you have him around still!! I lost my grandfather when I was 16... I learned SO much as a young kid from him!!

[@duaneb193]

As someone who has made homemade ice cream (and still does), I love this. We always packed around the drum once the beaters were removed with ice and rocksalt and let it set for a few hours to stiffen up. Used a hand crank for many, many years to make fresh ice cream!

[@jessetosado]

Great Father’s Day episode for us dads. The episodes with your dad are always awesome. This is for him: 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ericbrock9387]

[@AndyZ325is]

I was excited to see the machine work and the conclusion of the series. I am going to send your Dad some Malleys Hot Fudge sauce from Cleveland, Ohio. It is the best hot Fudge you will ever have in your life. In fact, as I type I'm having some Malleys Hot Fudge on Mint Chocolate Chip! Thanks for the follow-up. Your Dad is the best...

[@hutchyx]

[@SimonHollandfilms]

that was fun.....no expansion displacement valve without superheat boot works best for pump down with out a refrigerant pressure click relief PSI sight glass. ... ok.

[@lawrencemitchell5983]

Awesome video with your Dad. I was an air conditioning/ refrigeration tech in The Navy in the 80's, our ship was built in the 1940s...our main refrigeration system had (3) v style compressors that looked like small V-6 engines with belt drives..worked great 👍. The ice cream machines we had were later iterations, but finicky nonetheless.

[@robertsieber8374]

Your Dad is awesome! McDonald's needs to hire him to keep their ice cream machines going. I'd bet if he worked on them to begin with, they'd never break!

[@gtoger]

I've never been an ice cream machine enthusiast. Until this series. And it's a testament to JR and his dad that I'm not seeing the comments full of "stay in your lane" and "I thought this was a car channel" trolls. Thanks for sharing.

[@jaywest4102]

This man is really dedicated to ice cream

[@joedingman4181]

Watch Senior go impart his sage knowledge on us for our viewing pleasure bravo sir....

[@Dallen9]

Well it's from the paper documentation era, it's possible that the paperwork involving a machine disappeared over time for various reasons and Taylor may not have digitized it before it was lost or there's Documentation in their Achieves about it that they've not digitized into their corporate servers yet. When they realized you have a pristine version of one of their "Lost" Ice cream machines they might try to get it especially now they know it works. That's a highly valuable piece of historical kit.

[@MrMattDat]

Love seeing Sr do his thing. Every step is a lesson and I LOVE how he slammed the last guy that worked on that machine with "I did it that way when I was 12 years old". Perfect.

[@m1t2a1]

That's how old VCRs died too. Sit for a while and the tiny 'belt' would take a shape. 13:30 Easy to replace, but there weren't any. A red solo cup weighs about 9 or 10 grams, close to 1/3 of an ounce if I recall.

[@jeffaulik3980]

The Taylor Corp. had a serious fire in 1949 and company records may have been lost. They rebuilt in Rockton, IL, because the old facility was virtually a total loss.

[@kristoffermangila]

Hmmm... that may explain why this machine "doesn't" exist.

[@couchtomato1946]

For a second I thought your dad was going to whip out the fudge machine too. I think he was considering it as well. 🤣

[@justatim8143]

Here in western Pa. they use Titusville ice cream mix or milkshake mix in the ice cream machines.

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

I'm SO happy your dad called the LeakLock stuff Permatex for refrigerant. I have just always called RTV Permatex, that's just what it is to me (probably because that's what my dad kept in the shop so I knew it as the name brand), anyway I told my father in law I sealed up an old compressor that had rusted in they cylinders with Permatex after I cleaned it out and he said I don't know what Permatex is.. I was befuddled, knowing RTV as Permatex just like I call water pump pliers Channel Locks and locking pliers Vice Grips. Dunno I just thought RTV was also known as Permatex. Fun times!
