Will it run after 50 plus years 1916 federal motors truck

[@coinslotsandjoysticks2572]

My grandad collected them in the 60 and 70's and I still have several in my barn along with many extra pieces and parts, numerous engines and cabs and I have worked on them my entire life and have two that I totally restored and drive occasionally. If you not help or parts let me know. Im always glad to help someone get another one goin again. Idk where you are but I can toss some parts in my truck and come help you get it going, i actually made a unit that runs off of a 5 ho lawnmower engine and i use it to turn the engine over to start it, takes ten minutes to hook to the engine. Start the mower engine and engage the clutch and the engine spins

[@alanjarvis8777]

Genius starting idea!!

It's pretty funny to think that during the WW2 this truck was already quite old-fashioned, although still a perfectly usable workhorse.

my neighbor had a 26 or8 Graham Bros truck he hauled boxes of fruit to the cannery until 1959. Jes been gone 40 yrs now but was a hell of a guy. He also hung a ford T axel for weight carry ability. It was held in by heavy wire and was an idler.

It is absolutely amazing that she still runs after 107 years! It is amazing after all ever single person that anything to do with her is has now past. From her engineers who designed her to her machinist that made her parts to the men who assemble her and the person or persons one who purchased her.

I am always impressed, seeing all the Antique vehicles you stumble upon for your engine ressurection challenges! Hopefully, some of them you feature will get full restoration. At this stage, these pieces of collection belong to a museum... Good luck on your Cuda's reconstruction, as well =)

[@greenmountainman9160]

Man your videos never fail to impress. It's fascinating watching these old machines come back to life. Hope to see lots more!

[@jimcraig8754]

I can’t help but smile when I see you get one of these old vehicles running after so many years of neglect. Your attitude and sense of humor make your videos worth watching even when they don’t run.

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Nothing better than seeing (and hearing) a 107 year old engine come back to life!! Fun video, thanks!!

[@privateer0561]

The excitement of starting an old motor that hasn't run in decades never gets old! I restored a 1954 Johnson 10 hp outboard that hadn't been started since 1968 (needed new coils, points, plugs, carb rebuild, and water pump) and it fired off after two pulls. I ran around like an idiot yelling "Johnson! Johnson!" to no one for a minute. Ran like a champion thereafter!

[@LS1LE]

Seriously, your channel is pretty damn awesome. I’ve seen you delete two cylinders and make a motor run. BOSS!!! You are a bad ass!

[@stevenbest6408]

Amazing, man! Just incredible to see this 107 year old engine turn over and come to life. You're right, "she wants to live", and I'm sure that she will now. Cheers from Texas.

[@stevenlatham4397]

I think you’re the only person that has successfully got a 100 year old vehicle to revive successfully on KZbin. I was cheering you on when you did the Cadillac, but this was so much more accomplishing. It even ran good. You’ve battled more with 40 year old cars that only sat for 10 years.

[@michaelweeks6022]

It sure is fun watching you get these old timers going again.Keep on wrenchen buddy and a big shout out from Tennessee !

[@joebufford2972]

I love seeing this old stuff. I'm 60 and my daddy born and raised in Arkansas. Dropped out of school first grade but he could fix anything. Mechanical and own numerous gas stations and did the mechanic work! He could go from Arkansas to Oregon leaving with 65 cents coming back with a truck. It was only a year old just on barter and work ! Kudos to old school mechanics. God rests their souls

[@DatBlueHusky]

man its crazy how well stuff was built back then.

[@FYMASMD]

It’s the technology that makes it. Simple engineering.

[@bacilluscereus1299]

🤔 perhaps their grasp of metallurgy and materials science in general didn't allow them to make stuff any other way❓ Or the crappier stuff didn't make it to the present day.

[@DatBlueHusky]

Things back then was built to last. Till around the 80's then they started to make things to break or fail after warranty also cut corners and use cheaper materials

[@MrCarGuy]

They didn't really know how to cut costs, didn't have too many long-term studies on durability, and left a ton of headroom with strength and toughness. It was so competitive at the time and couldn't afford to make a mistake anyway

[@67Stang]

Look forward to seeing more on this one. Would be interesting to seeing her done up as a WWI army truck.

You might not see this but that engine might not even have a water pump. A lot of old trucks and tractors had what is called a "Thermosiphon" System and the hot water would rise to the top of the radiator and get cooled instead of having a pump do that.

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

The water pump sits directly before the magneto and has a through shaft to drive the mag behind it.

[@jenningsmotorsports7554]

Thank you for the info I thought the turbo looking thing was a water pump well I think it is but I may be wrong I know a lot of old tractors I have had don’t have a water pump

Everyone is amazed that these old Machines run, That is when everything, Was made to last, Steel was 10 times stronger than today, Its a fact, everything old is Better, Like Jennings in the past Ive started old dozer's that haven't run in 100 years, My Ford 8 end had a 30 inch tree grow around it took 3 days to get it free, Parked for 65 years, It was running end of day, Restored looked brand new when done, You have to remember these engines are really know different than a lawn mower, If jenning's wanted he could make that run with a 4 cylinder distributor HEI, Jennings your definitely a go getter .Keep them Comming
