Flash shirt for working on an old Beddy Bruce!

@@jesuiskiwi4033 I want to cry when I see that shirt covered in crap and rust. Mrs Bruce must be long suffering in the laundry dept.

I think the clean shirts are Bruce's trademark. If I wore that it would look like an oily rag in no time

[@billblock8090]

Bruce, I know you are pretty busy, I just wish you could do more videos for us. As I mentioned before I am 81, but I learn a lot, watching someone with as much experience as you. I am impressed by the patience you display. Wishing you the best from West Texas.

[@bruceinaus]

Morning Bill, thank you for that. Sometimes these videos are not the easiest to do, braving the rust, sun, wind, rain , wildlife, travelling ect. It can at times also be difficult to line up filming with the cameraman as he is a lot busier than me. If I could make more videos, I would but there are a few constraints so I really do them as and when I can. Bruce

[@thomasoferrel1170]

Gooday Bruce! 34 years old from Washington State here. I really related to your friend back in the day who was an absolute champion at stripping off bolts and nuts😂😂 I've been known to have the patience of a orangutan with a 3/4 inch impact gun so these videos really are teaching me a lot

They are some wild looking tyres on the Suzuki! Awesome.

It can get wild around here in the wet season so it needs every bit of help it can get!

Love these calm rescue videos. Especially nice to see the different kinds of trucks that were used in Aus years ago. These Bedfords were everywhere in the UK when I was a kid.

[@bruceinaus]

Yes thanks for that, slowly getting back on track

[@RODALCO2007]

Brilliant effort anyway, the engine ran briefly and rough. The resistance of the glowing screwdriver would have dropped a few of the 24 Volts to the overheated starter. Great video Bruce. I enjoyed every minute of it. Those bent pushers were probably caused by stuck valves.

[@tvorchay]

As I've said before, Bruce you are a heck of a mechanic and engineer with boundless insights. I can't thank you enough for showing a similar trick to the valves, i.e. unsticking Detroit injectors. With your tricks I was able to get my 6V53T injectors unstuck for my project truck. Cheers and great to see you tackling beasts in the field again.

Hey Bruce! A sound man would pay a fortune for all those beautiful sounds around you.

[@anteast2684]

Great video Bruce. I like how the motor didn't run as it proves you are human. You have an amazing knowledge of auto mechanics and you went above and beyond to get the Bedford going. It's almost like I am getting an education watching your videos. Well done Sir!

Welcome back 🙏

[@bruceinaus]

Thanks for that

[@davesworkshop2714]

Great video, you gave it a good shot! I've often been tempted to go 24V on the stubborn stuff, but I think the trick would be to energise the coil of the solinoid at 12V and give the starter 24. I feel your pain, I had to go to the extreme of doing a rough rebuild on one engine on my channel (Case 1394 full of water) just to get it to run for a will it start 😂

[@PilotMcbride]

🤣🤣🤣 the old burly Bedfords, Austins & BMCs great fun to drive. At various times back in the 60s & 70s ( as kids) we used to use them to take harvest grain to the silos. The old Austins were crash boxes, but a joy to drive. It was this experience where I learned that a clutch was only used for starting roll, after that rev matching. Later got my Army HV license and I freaked the instructor out when we jumped in an old crash box Stud and never crunched the gears, they were still in service (sort of) back then being petrol fuelled, alternate fuelling just in case and had to driven every 12 months. Thanks for posting Bruce, great stuff 👋👋👋

Hello Bruce, just found your channel and find your old school expertise and manner refreshing and wonderful to watch keep them coming thankyou

[@MartsGarage]

Dogged determination and still it fought back. I'd say technically it did run. I used the tap the rockers method to improve the compression on my mate's Zephyr. It did the trick and we got it running. It was an original idea to me and this is the first time I've heard anyone else mention it. I showed it in a video. Thanks for posting Bruce. Great to see you out there giving it your best shot. All the best, Mart in England.

[@brentonpaterson7047]

Another excellent video. Love it. I even went through my grandfather's old spanners and I found my very own 1/4 whitworth spanner.
