I practically have my own junkyard. Only half to go out for parts 50% of the time. 👍

[@rhydianedwards3457]

14:05 I love how one of the mini DBs goes "Dad blew up", as if having an old man covered in blow-by accelerated engine oil was a perfectly normal occurrence!

[@abpsd73]

Those little 3 cylinder diesels are good for repowering garden tractors. I have a Yanmar donor that is a little knocky for a minute or so until it starts to warm up.

[@darthtrump4428]

please more scrapyard shop tours 😍

[@gregleithoff5943]

Another fun video, keep em coming. Made me cry a little to see Marlene's daughter carrying on Moms place in the family, made my day, thanks.

[@dougreeves7616]

I had rather stroll the junkyard than a city park . The smell of grease my favorite part . Worth the cost to get in .

[@danw1955]

That Kubota would make a nice engine for a large garden tractor. Most likely the crankcase vent valve is stuck.. that was pretty exciting when it spit the dipstick out.🤣

[@BJSmith-ll3uw]

I love your appreciation for the salvage yard. I spent a lot of time growing up in my uncles. You never know what you'll find.

[@danielauen7790]

I love how delicate those heavy equipment operaters can be when they know their machine

[@PureCountryof91]

Those little Kubota reefer powerplants are actually apparently awesome. There's a 4cyl version too. A KZbinr "shifted interests" has one in a ranger and it actually moves it pretty good

[@emerycottle3166]

I've always liked these Kubota diesel engines. Almost every mower we have at the golf course I work at has a Kubota diesel.

[@workingcountry1776]

Carrier AC was based in Syracuse, NY and that old unit was probably built by my uncles and family friends right there in Syracuse. They shipped thousands of jobs over seas... these older Syracuse made units are very, very high quality. That said; love my Kabota diesels! I have a Kabota in my Grasshopper brand mower for my lawn care business

[@Vanbulance89]

I don't know about you all, but I could listen to Rich take us on a scrap yard tour for hours!

[@mjmcomputers]

“She has some blow by” may be a slight under statement.

[@jacksonbennett6151]

It’s all fun and games till someone ends up shish-kabobbed with a dipstick in the eye!

[@gearjammergamer8560]

My company got bought causing some shenanigans with leases. Supposedly your supposed to overhaul those engines at 25k hours. Some of ours are way over 40k hours. They run nearly non stop 24/7 363

[@coreybenson3122]

This video is all Red Green. After all Red is Canadian as is Rich. Also both of their names start with "R".

[@peterad1529]

oh I'm aware, that's why I made the comparison 🙂

[@4spdlife857]

I'm a truck driver and I dont miss the sound of that engine when I'm off work

[@WhiteTrashMotorsports]

When you have those working and complete they make great AC units for the shop

[@travisrobinson6128]

I never doubted she'd start. I work on these lil guys everyday.

[@Hohnurz]

That old carrier brings back some memories, i really miss working with refrig units...

[@rakman88]

I put a reefer engine in my 8x8 Argo. It's the Yanmar variety. Over 16000 hours on the engine, no problems at all, and that's low for a reefer. They don't run under any significant load. You don't need 20 horse to run a reefer. They are sized for heating in the winter for things that can't be frozen.

[@HorsepowerHeadquarters454]

I wonder if the crankcase pressure was the reason for the knock it (other than not running) seemed like it ran good after launching the dipstick, 🌋 Imagine the engines you could swap with that old dragline!🤣 combines etc. Love the scrap yard I worked at one for a few years torchn and cutoff saw. HOLY SHIT CHECK THIS MINTY FAKR OUT 👇👑👌

[@BigKeke]

Rich your a genius man, you can literally make anything work 😅 I love the variety between the channels

[@jamesb1221222]

Bought an old 16kw onan marine genset with a kubota 4 cylinder diesel from one of the local yards for $50. Gave it a new electric fuel pump, primed it and started right up. I couldn't believe someone would scrap the damn thing. The generator head even makes power. Ripped out the sea water heat exchanger, threw in a radiator and some electric fans and I use it to power my house when the power goes out. I only used the glow plugs 1 time in the 20 or so times I started it, and I didn't even need em even in 20 degree temps. It's amazing what people get rid of. Used to see a ton of water-cooled gas 3 cylinder kubotas in carpet cleaning/pressure washing vans at local LKQ u-pull-it junkyards. Shitty part is they price them the same as car engines. I couldn't make the idiot at the counter understand they're basically lawn equipment/utility engines. Finally I gave up and i'm pretty sure they all got crushed. They could have got $200 out of me for one but they chose $10 in scrap instead. Not my property I guess, but still a waste..

[@flyingpeter]

Warped perception made a cool diesel kart, maybe that little engine would make a sick competitor

[@StrangelyIronic]

I built a little kei style mini (micro even?) truck to move stuff around the barns, workshop, and shop that uses one of those little engines. Runs great and has plenty of power for the tiny truck.

[@connellyslandmanagement725]

I could see that old Chevy being a nice service truck

[@leebarnett5577]

by far the cleanest junk yard ive ever seen

[@Andrew-hg8us]

3:40 that there must be one of those new "air cooled" snow ploughs

[@shanedavis2578]

god i wish i lived near a place like this. im impossibly jealous

[@Onewheelordeal]

I was amazed how gingerly they picked up and set down that huge AC unit with the magnet claw

[@waitaminute-vw9hf]

To the haters..."What channel hurt you?" That was funny.

[@SJKile]

You’re just like I am when I go to a good junkyard. I want this, I want that, I always come out with something more than what I went in there to get.

[@7eis]

Guided tour was hilarious. Could watch for hours!

[@martyniner8893]

Love how Rich just gets shit done!

[@Milkybar3320011]

Little engines, easy to move, easy to work on, cheap fun especially when us amateurs with grand ideas cock it up lol. More small engines please

[@SmallMartingale]

I love our walks through the scrapyard

[@hendo337]

I just had an incredible time day dreaming with you about cool shit in the scrap yard whailing a huge joint of legaijuana with my dog.

[@JustAnotherGuyInTheComments]

God I love small diesels. My tractor (Allis Chalmers) has a 3 cylinder diesel that I absolutely love. It could probably use a rebuild though. It’s probably got low compression.

[@collinyoung8837]

The snow blade with the holes for the snow to come through made me laugh so hard I spit out my sandwich 😂 thank you

[@gpowerdragon9852]

I got a kubota tractor from the 90s is amazing tractor Never Had Major breakdown even like 20 years old and 2000 hours plus it from Osaka Japan It's Where The Good stuff come from 😊

There’s an easier way to heat your truck bud don’t gotta drive around with a 3 view fireplace in the box.

[@DGHD]

Its for sale!

[@svtirefire]

Easier than changing that plugged heater core!

[@matthewtaylor3308]

Pretty cool to walk through a junkyard and know that you can fix just about anything that you can see...

[@jakenelson5152]

My first diesel swap was putting a Kubota d1105-e out of a golf course fairway mower into my 1976 John Deere 70 skid steer because the old gas motor crapped out

[@trex4586]

My buddy got one of these engines from a skid steer and swapped it into his jeep lol made his own conversion plate for the transmission and it drives mint! going to be putting on another turbo soon to make it have twins!

[@ITDIRECTOR1]

The amount if info you provide with narrative is sensational!!

[@Deftonesdsm]

Man this is the job i need. Finding old stuff and making it run. At least i could use my A.S.E. engine certs again that way

[@the1gamer2title]

Please do another one of these but try and find a 4 cylinder reefer from a freezer trailer. It’s one of my next projects (EDMONTON)

[@DriveCarToBar]

Not sure how prevalent they are up north, but in the states the old Thermo-King reefer units were powered by little Isuzu D201 diesels. They had some funkiness about the crankshaft flanges that require modification if you'd like to use a normal vehicle transmission. Not that you'd want to put it in much that would go on the road as they were only like 40 or 50hp tops and were set up for steady state. So, you could get a big electric motor and a ThermoKing motor, some batteries and rig up your own little diesel electric power plant in an old Canada Post LLV mail van. Perfect little 60mpg grocery getter.

[@nfggarage8135]

3:18 “if you a tunnel for the kids to learn PAIN” lmaooooo

[@graywolf2694]

I work on carrier reefers and I'll tell you those kobotas are bullet proof, they will run even if it has horrible blow-by, oils is sludge and a plugged solid air filter

[@rickbarger5161]

That was a really cool junkyard you were going through way to go on that little diesel motor be interesting to see what you put that in I have to go through all of your videos again you probably did put it in something love your videos keep making them off keep watching thanks

[@benjaminkline4855]

Kubota was the first roller bearing split crank I ever saw.

[@colesteven1123]

I wish i had a relationship like that with the scrap yard i frequent. I can squeeze a couple extra cents per 100lbs out of them sometimes...but they dont call me when cool af stuff comes in lol

She is a beaut, just took delivery of a V2203 going in a 1952 M38 Willys

[@greggarrot8132]

From what I was seeing laying around in that yard you have the perfect makings for a heavy duty log splitter Steel, hydraulic ram, Engine an pump, hydraulic controls and everything you need to make it towable. I'm sure there's somebody out there looking to pay good money for a nice heavy duty splitter

[@JasonTAho]

That 4 stage cylinder and a Detroit diesel, you could split the whole tree before cutting it to length

[@jeffrey717]

Perfect for a backup gen for the house!👌

[@patriciomunoz2830]

I like to take a look at the local junkyard they throw all sort of thing, last time i went i saw a wrecked cirrus airplane with complete engine turbo etc...

[@rdsledge]

Boy that was a smooth running engine. You would think a 3 cylinder wouldn’t be.👍

[@dirtshower250]

I want to build a gokart with a kubota 3cyl on it. Indestructible as long as they have oil in them. Maybe even slap a turbo on it. I’ve got 11 kubota powered machines at work, never had a problem with any of the motors.

[@TomFlomm]

"Ouuu Nice new trailer pretty good shape! .... Oop! No. Whoops!" HAHAHA!! Maaaann! I wish we had yards like this in Nova Scotia! that place is beautiful!

[@amynernberg9808]

I picked up a 2 cyl Perkins 402d-5 into a Case garden tractor. Paid 400 for it.

[@Mr.NiceGuy80]

That looks like a reefer unit for a straight truck. It's not the right shape to be one for a semi trailer. Super cool to see inside one of these things.

[@hubertrobinson8825]

Lucky you sounds like a little project

[@nickthrane4940]

Finally a kubota engine!

[@hammyh1165]

I've a two cyl Kubota at work I want to strip out an old sweeper , it's fitted with a hydraulic pump unit. Think I last had it running about five yrs ago. Low hrs too.
