We BUILT An ICE CREAM MACHINE Powered By ENGINES

[@kazfalcion]

Dad sure seems like one of those fab/fix/create anything out of anything people. Awesome to watch.

[@victorlugo6661]

Great video, your dad reminds me of my old man. Enjoy every minute JR. I lost my dad from cancer 8 years ago and all I have is memories. God bless your dad with good health for many many years.

[@beaseac]

What can't your dad do?!? I would love to see more of his projects!

[@gertraba4484]

we had a masssive Ford F-700 truck with a stainless steel conversion of TOM CARVEL ICE CREAM products

[@gregspiva8095]

Your Dads a gem!! one of those old school guys who just gets how things work.. Tinkers a bit adds years of experience and wonderous things come to life (or come back to life)!! Treasure every moment, I promise you all of a sudden the days come quicker than you think where your days with him are winding down... . Show us his projects any time , love it!!

[@B0xlife1]

You ain't never lied my friend. Take every day for granted because the next day they are gone! Enjoy it NOW

[@OrencoBoy]

Your dad reminds me of my late father (also from the Midwest) who saw value in everything. In a throw-away society, it is certainly refreshing to see someone who doesn't. I could watch and listen to your dad all day. I envy you.

[@boat6868]

It is safe to say that JR's dad knows a thing or two about a thing or two. These guys have skills.

[@gertraba4484]

epic skilllsZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gertraba4484]

[@gertraba4484]

yeah real retro like STEAAMPUNK !!!!!!!!!!

[@Bills96TA]

And today's society wants us to believe fathers aren't needed, yea right this man proves having a good one is amazing.

[@HousesandCars]

I'm also interested in all that other stuff in there. Maybe do an occasional video with your Dad.

[@WatchJRGo]

Might cover the steam generator startup when that finally happens, there's been so many comments asking about it 🍻

[@gertraba4484]

@@WatchJRGo WOW, your dad is a real MacGuyver with all his welding and improv skills.....................should have powered the rig with a DOD surplus jet turbine engine

[@usererror1969]

Dad is very cool. He tells some great stories of real life history. I think there is no dead engine he couldn't make run again. Dad needs his own KZbin channel ... Thanks for the video

[@SteveKirks]

OK...your Dad is amazing! We have GOT to see more of this project and, of course, watch him pull some Dairy Queen out of it..

[@FreeStuffGuy916]

Your dad is one smart cookie. Is there anything he can't build or do? His stories are great.

[@r.a.c.andrebuild7237]

You, your Dad and your Grandfather (from stories) carry so much pride in everything you do. Absolutely awesome.

[@stevewaller6577]

Generations right there, John's dad remembering his own father and passing down the skills.

[@1956model1]

I propose a new KZbin channel. "Listen to JR's dad explain things"! He's a very smart and interesting gentleman. Always enjoy seeing him in your videos. Wish I were a little bit closer to Kansas. I would come to the steam show just to meet him.

[@SurferDudeUSA]

I love how you incorporate your family and close friends in your adventures. It is always nice when others tell people how things are made, and fix them up. Too many people now these days, just do not understand.. which is sad. I think younger people do really crave how things work and really want to learn.. but with technology at fingertips.. people are just conditioned to look online.. and only trust that is the answer. Absolutely love this history lesson, and can imagine how your family reunions are. HAHA

love this video very historic and informative

[@jimloucks3111]

Is there anything this guy can't do?? Send him a cool challenge. One of the coolest videos I've seen on this channel so far, who doesn't like them sum ice cream

[@XA351GT]

That is extremely cool to see. I'm glad there are still people that like to fix things instead just replacing them .

[@markraabe2380]

I see now where you get your mechanical ability. Your dad is extremely talented.

[@RedneckTaZ]

After running out of home-made ice cream at a Relay for Life event about 10 or so years ago, despite having six dashers going at the same time, a friend of mine named Ralph Hester came up with an idea. The next year he pulled up with two old fashioned wooden ice cream maker buckets that were 3x the regular size. Each had a big rotating container with a dasher. They were hooked to a custom made gear set that ran off the PTO drive of a John Deer Tractor. We made ice cream like bandits. The next year he pulled up with a trailer. This one had four big ice cream buckets and dashers and they were powered by a 350 Chevorlet motor and transmission mounted on the trailer. We never ran out of ice cream again.

[@tomfurie2996]

You might consider asking one of your KZbin buddies to visit and video your dad and his machine at the upcoming show. That would be a great follow up. Your dad is awesome and you seem to be aware of that. That’s cool.

[@joubess]

This is one of the coolest machines I've ever seen! The fact it belongs to your family is even cooler. Your dad seems to be a great guy and I hope we get to see some more of the projects in that garage. They look fascinating.

[@KenMrKLC]

Fun stuff John, thanks for sharing.

[@rickster357]

That was dope, you got your skills honestly

[@briantayler1230]

Gidday, what your dad's machine needs is 1940's Dairy Queen graphics, showing servicemen and "Buy War Bonds", "Support the NRA", National Recovery Assoc". It is amazing that it could be built during WW2, everywhere else in the world, everything went to the war effort and there was nothing for the civilian market.

[@0_O_0001]

Sounds like your dad needs a WD-40 sponsorship.

[@WatchJRGo]

Years ago there was a big sale on the 1 gallon cans, we bought like 10 gallons and haven't run out yet 😂

[@nurseelliott4256]

Strong resemblance between father and son. Can see where you love for fix and building things.

[@SIXPACFISH]

MMMM Apple Pie and Ice Cream! Dang it, John Ross! There goes my Diet, right out the window. We converted a 1952 Yale forklift with a 217 Chrysler flathead 6 to propane at work. Amazingly you can still get all the parts to rebuild the engine. Which we also did. Runs great. They built stuff to last back then.

[@73buickman]

that would be great at our antique tractor show in chilton wisconsin by me

[@stever3953]

Your dad reminds me of my dad I lost about 5 years ago. Take advantage of this time.

[@rtxrt73]

I really hope you understand how valuable and precious this time you have with your dad is. Especially the part about the gauges. That is an awesome story!

Use to work for a DQ.. Cleaning proceadure is drain the mix with water and bleach combination (5 Gallon), run another bleach water mix, Then run a bucket of soapy water through it (5 gallon), then another bleach and water combination bucket.. Use to do that every night when we close

[@KBMOTORSchannel]

Crazy. My dad can fix or build anything too. And I grew up to flip cars as well!! Lol. You gain the skills they had. I started my channel fixing and flipping cars too. That’s so crazy.

[@B0xlife1]

Man I love guys like this, definitely a dying breed. People like your pops are far and few between. Sad future ahead of us without real engineer tinker people like this! Youth nowadays would rather play fortnite then listen, watch and learn this awesome stuff.

Sad but true. I don't think there's an app for this.

[@williamsheetz2085]

My dad was the Taylor rep, sold and installed milkshake/Icecream machines in the 70's, I still have one. It makes killer margaritas, Pina coladas The one i have is aircooled, and uses 220v so I plug it in the dryer plug.

Hey JR...When you were younger, were you that one kid that ALL of the other neighborhood kids wanted to hang out with? Whos family always had something great going on? I have a feeling you were! Edit: Since I have watched you I have admired your motivation, intelligence, and great work ethic. Watching your dad for just a few minutes, I can see where it came from. You are a lucky guy. Keep up the great work and stay humble man.

[@hpelisr]

Yes get that ice cream machine going, I want some.

[@erix5184]

Crazy thing is the brand new machines work pretty much the same way. Mix gets pumped into a big chamber with an auger and paddles, nozzle in the front dispenses it. Ours are all electric though (obviously), and the mix is contained in the machine.

Your dad is a gem. Reminds me so much of mine. He's a combination of American Pickers & a Mad Scientist! Would love to see a video of the ice cream being dispensed, but does DQ sell mix to the public? Or do you have to make it yourself?

[@watchjaredwork1487]

Simi Steve we buy the mix from the place that makes the local DQ’s mix (Hiland Dairy). 20 years ago we would buy the actual DQ labeled mix but then DQ started making us pay royalties for the mix with their label on it so now instead we just buy Hilands mix which is basically exactly the same.

[@blevins6584mopar]

Dad should get in contact with WD-40 you definitely should get a sponsorship from them.!

[@kitecattestecke2303]

If you make icecream how do you keep it away from exhaust fumes?

[@WatchJRGo]

You can see the exhaust is all covered in heat wrap, then there is a car muffler under the floor of the trailer with a turn down, it honestly smells pretty cool but now you can't smell anything with the propane 🍦
