Did you remove the heads to do it, stuffing a rope inside the spark plug holes to hold the valves in place or using constant air pressure to keep the valves seated while you remove the keepers and replace the seals, never had to do that yet.

No we didn’t have to go down that far removed the valve covers. One cylinder at a time with a tool that screwed in to the spark plug hole put air on it to hold the valve up.

@@nancyison7481 yeah that’s one of the ways I knew they would do it without removing the heads, that’s great that it worked so good.😀

No more puffs of blue smoke when you started it. It took about 4 hours to clean everything and put it back together

This is not for a hurricane they are just to meet code, those anchors do not come out, I have removed exactly these anchors multiple times and they have extreme holding power.

Mobile homes anchored in dirt withstand winds of 80+mph every year in my state. It's usually a tornado that will be strong enough to destroy a mobile home but it usually just shreds it instead of rolling it.

@@justinbird2605 yeah good point, the home would be shredded before it could pull the anchors out and different areas with more tornadoes require more anchors 😀

Yeah these tenants moved 2 times within this park and I had to clean up after them 2 times, I bent over backwards for these people and they showed their appreciation by giving my son a guitar, I understand the video might have only showed my frustration, but they were good tenants and I gave them a full deposit back although I believe they should have been charged some small amount for cleaning.

Yeah I have always thought it was probably a bad idea to put tile in a mobile home but, I tried it 2 times and had very good results and I really like tile, good question 😀

Thanks I’m glad you liked it😀

I agree and we ended up returning a full deposit back, my main complaint was that I asked them to clean a little more and they declined, because it’s my job to clean it I guess. 😀

I think it’s worth it just because it’s a simple job to get a little more life out of it😀

I agree, the car has about 240,000 miles on it, honestly I just want to see how long it will last, I’m happy to hear from you again, I’m working on an interesting video with a Frantz filter install so be on the lookout for that.😀

@@frugallandlord6974 Cool, I like your Frantz videos. With that high of miles on a 3 cylinder, the bill from the machine shop maybe more than what you originally paid for the car, can you find another Metro with lower miles and keep the old one for parts?

@@frugallandlord6974 I think it lasted 240,000 miles, lol.

@@JimmyJames351 I definitely wouldn’t rule that out, but I would more likely get a rebuilt engine to swap in or rebuild the existing engine, unless I find a metro that’s mint condition 😀

@@JimmyJames351 you might be right, it would be cool to get to the 300k milestone, I will see what happens 🤓

Smallest is 6x12 and the largest is 12x24 we usually have 1 or 2 open units but sometimes we are fully rented, we have kept rents below market at $0.40 a square foot. Just because the units are a bit older than the competition 😀

Kitchen is about 250 sq ft. If that’s what you are asking😀

Thanks, I believe it’s working fine now, I have redone a few drain fields but I have never put a new tank in anywhere as they seem to last forever, so I haven’t found the need to ever replace a tank yet, although I’m going to need to add tanks to my mobile home park in the future, glad to have you back😀

You can’t drive trucks or cars on the septic system. It will damage it

@@nancyison7481 yeah I think that’s why the inlet pipe was kinked, I have rules in my lease about junk cars too but I’m not good at enforcing it because for the most part my tenants are all super great people. The cars hear are only parked on top of the tank which has a very thick concrete lid, the drainage field is 15 feet behind the red car, they will have to move the cars before the tank is pumped because there is 2 more lids to that septic tank 1 is directly under the red car. 😀

@@frugallandlord6974 I was told to not even put trucks and cars on the lid of a septic it would crack it. I was told by the company that installed it

@@nancyison7481 yeah probably a good idea just to stay off of it with cars, I would be very surprised if he is causing any damage but I will eventually need to tell him to move it, at that time I will nicely ask him to not keep any cars parked on top of the tank or drainage field 😀

You got that right, good to see you again😀

I like older cars so I’m trying to keep this one for a long time.

You’re welcome 😀

Thank you, that is great advice 😀

Yeah it’s not too bad and the price was right.😀

Yeah I think it was a good deal😀

Was it the home in the video called old mobile home walkthrough?

@@IOLIVER88 if it was the home in the video titled old mobile home walkthrough, that is a 1974 liberty.

Yeah slower and lower helps, if I lower the blade it helps a lot but I keep it high because I have so many rocks and mole hills, my blades are also very dull because of the mole hills and rocks, this mower also came with Finish mower blades and brush cutting blades, I assume that the Finish blades would cut much cleaner but I have never installed the finish blades because I only mow tall fields with too many rocks and things.😀

Thank you very much 😀

Yeah I’m amazed at how original it is.

A lot of people are convinced that the paper will fall apart, yet they have no evidence of this ever happening, I have no problems with people giving opinions but the people who speak as if their amateur opinion is absolute fact, that bothers me a little, although I’m sure I have been guilty of that at times 🤪

I hear you. They pay no attention to the guys that have used the filters for 60 years. What do they know.

Thanks, I’m very happy to have you 😀

@@frugallandlord6974 Thank you so much!

If you can use a saw a tape measure and a square then you can probably install a door and get at least a decent result.😀

Ac works good all except the hottest days, then you might want a cooler in the back bedroom if you like to sleep under a blanket in the summer like I do. It’s a rental.

If you can lower the high spot it doesn’t matter, if you can’t lower that spot you will need to set up the stationary water jug at the high spot, I mean if you come to a higher spot that you can’t lower to the water jug then you will need to move the water to the high spot. I hope this answers you question. 😄

Drywall makes a big difference in the overall feel of a mobile home, like noise temperature and look, at least in my opinion, but it is a big expense and a big project if you do it yourself.😀

I didn’t think it would cause a 7 mhp difference though.

Very glad to have you, God bless you too Nurse Judi.😀

I guess I’m getting old 😂

@@frugallandlord6974 Nah, it means you're making wise decisions

@@cg41386 Looking back it has been the best decision of my life.😜

But this makes you want to get one right?🤣

Thanks, good idea about the shelves, thanks for the visit 😀

Gulf Coast filters equip engines such as locomotive engines on Shell offshore rigs. When the owner passed away the top salesman didnt want to deal with the little filters. The Jackmaster Classic is similar. There always seems to be a similar choice.

The top salesman is now the owner.

@@ralphwood8818 I’m surprised bypassed filters are not more popular, I guess oil is cheaper to just replace often enough and engine’s still last a very long time.

​@@frugallandlord6974I remember when it was common to see the big Cummins Fleetguard and the Luberfiners bolted to the side of truck cabs. Cummins claimed an 80 percent engine life increase using them. Then people started thinking they were only for dirty conditions like dump trucks and concrete mixer trucks. The big chrome plated Luberfiners with Peterbilt labels ended up out behind the shop in the metal scrap. I drove for a guy that wouldnt put a truck on the road without a Luberfiner bypass filter.

@@ralphwood8818 I wonder if there are any stories of trucks with extended engine life due to bypass oil filtration?

Yeah after looking at how they work I would use a single port if I had to use one and return the oil to an zero pressure fitting like the oil cap or oil pan.

​@@frugallandlord6974 I prefer the 2 port sandwiches adapters with both hoses hooked up to the Jackmaster Classic. I have had problems with the spring loaded bypass valve holding the oil in the bypass filter. I think I might have solved that by drilling a hole in the adapter so the oil can bypass the relief valve at shut down. The Jackmaster Classic drained perfectly in less than 2 bours. The Frantz would probably drain but Im not going to install a Frantz to test it. I drove 20 miles with the sandwich adapter and the .045 orifice in the Jackmaster. The Jackmaster was just starting to warm up. I was getting maximum filtration. It is 100 degrees F here in the Dallas.area. That wont work this winter. I will have to leave the orifice out year around or put a valve in the inlet to control the flow.

​@@frugallandlord6974 You guys got me thinking about Frantz oil cleaners again. When I used the Frantz toilet paper fit. The.toilet paper core fit the tube. The oil pressure pushed the core down against the.core seal. Now its more complicated. Putting the toilet paper on the base then pushing the canister down on the base is a good idea. Unfortunately most Frantz users I see on TH-cam push the toilet paper in too far. Then the oil pressure might not be able to push the core down against the core seal. The best place for the ring is in the trash. When they started using the ring I started tossing them. Looks like.they abandoned that bad idea.

​@@frugallandlord6974 When you talk about the old type Frantz I think about the 1963 model Frantz I put on my Rambler American. It had no wire ring in thd bottom and had the same seal. Not sure when they came up with that useless ring. I tossed them in the trash. They were probably trying to make the filters idiot resistant for people that use junk paper.

@@ralphwood8818 yeah I actually think the ring causes more problems, I guess the ones I’m calling old are the filters stamped with sky

Most people like it that’s why.

Thinking of getting some rubber o rings to put around the base of the old sky filters to help center and seal the core, is that a good idea?

​@@frugallandlord6974 I have saved used toilet paper cores. Split them so they fit inside the new cores. That will keep the cores round. Experiment to see if you need more than one. You could also come up with a flat seal. The seal doesnt need to cut into the paper with firm paper.

@@ralphwood8818 thank you I have cut one old tp core diagonally on the seam, that makes it easy to fit inside without making a big gap, the old sky filters I have already have a flat gasket on the bottom are you proposing taking that off and adding a different gasket?

Im talking about the core seal that cuts into the paper around the core. It is almost too small for the larger cores. The old Motor Guards and the Jackmaster Classic use a flat seal. The Jackmaster Classic core seal is 1 15/16 inch. I would put something flat on top of the stock Frantz core seal. I have seen toilet paper with a.2 inch core. That might be coming next.

@@ralphwood8818 I like the core seal that cuts into the paper on the new style Frantz that I have installed, it seems like a far superior way to seal the core.

It’s not only cheap, it’s the best and most accurate way to do it.

@@ralphwood8818 and whale oil used to be used as automatic transmission fluid and hydraulic fluid until it was outlawed in the 70s

​@@frugallandlord6974 Yes they had trouble coming up with a fluid as.good as whale oil. I dont change transmission fluid. The old F250 has a Gulf Coast junior filter on it. They dont make those anymore. I put a converted Motor Guard M 30 compressed air filter on the 06 Pontiac Torrent. I needed to add a quart of fluid. It calls for Asian fluid. Its a Toyota transmission. There is a short dipstick under the car held down by a small bolt. Looks like the best way to get to it is to remove a motor mount.

Yeah it was ok but definitely not clean, I did give them a full deposit but they should have been charged a cleaning fee, tile floor was greasy, i didn’t even notice the floor because they had boxes covering it up when I did the check out list, so they knew it was very dirty, I also asked them to clean it themselves and they declined 🧐

Both are approved, you want to follow your local code though, everything in this video was inspected and meets code for my area, galvanized grounding rod is just cheaper obviously and I needed 2 rods 8 ft.

This egg shaped car you can buy used, no need to import them. 😜

Yeah I’m sure many people used them as disposable cars but not me, I’m going to keep it for a long time, repair as needed and keep it going.

Wow sub micron is amazing, I was just reading about a liqui moly oil additive that had a particle size of 0.5 microns so you are getting close to filtering that out at that point. I would think you would be a verified citizen in the database at the licensing department 🧐

I was a little irritated. They mailed me a license until I was over 79. Now I have to prove im a citizen. It looks like I need a state approved birth certificate copy. I have a certified copy but the seal is not embossed. My DD 214 Army discharge paper is also not imbossed. My wife applied for a new state approved copy from Oklahoma. Amsoil claims 2 micron. Toilet paper is a lot better. In the early 80s Amsoil had a canister filter that might have been as good as toilet paper They had a famous race car driver Bobby Unser saying this oil change is forever. At the time I was using Amsoil 10 40 with a Frantz oil cleaner.

​@@frugallandlord6974 Im told the Frantz cant remove the normal additives added at the refinery. That can be proved with oil analysis. I havent tested it but im told the Frantz can remove the graphite from Arco graphite oil

@@ralphwood8818 sad about the driver’s license hassle, I have a tenant who is still using Quaker State 30 weight out of the old tin cans, he got it out of an old gas station that had been closed for decades. I watched him pour a can of it into his car, the oil was actually green.

​. There are still old Frantz users that wont use any oil but non detergent. When I was working for Safety Kleen corporation. They had days where people could clean out their garages and bring in hazardous materials to be disposed of. We got many cases of old oil in tin cans. When I bought a house in Coeur d Alene Idaho it was at one time owned by a aircraft owner. There were a couple of cases of Texaco aircraft oil. Pictures of what looked like the first bi planes. I left them there. Collectors would have loved them.

I hate to admit this but I just forgot to put hardware on the cabinets 🫢

Thanks for the tip. 😀

So many people believe that the toilet paper will come apart, there has never been someone say first hand that toilet paper has ever disintegrated in an engine, that I am aware of at least, I believe people have actually used these as coolant filters, although I don’t really think it would be worth it for coolant.

Thats another bs story that come with toilet paper filters. ( I heard about this guy that knows someone that got toilet paper in his oil.) When I set up at flea markets I heard it all. One guy commented he keeps a Frantz on a shelf to remind him of all the engines he and his friends have ruined using a Frantz. One guy told me so much toilet paper was getting in the oil Frantz has been outlawed in Texas. About the best story is a Amsoil dealer that went to change his Frantz and the Frantz was empty. The whole roll had dissolved and was somewhere in the engine. Of course Amsoil filters dont come apart in oil.

One of my Frantz customers had a garage overhaul his engine. He took it back because it was missing. He was told tiny bits of toilet paper had gotten in the valve guides and caused the valves to stick open when they saw the Frantz. I told him to tell the SOBs to get the clearances right. He took it back a couple of times before they did it right.

@@ralphwood8818 yeah, they know they screwed up but they have to blame it on something else, I guess they think people won’t notice their mistake.

​@@frugallandlord6974 I did a fleet of mostly Ford Powerstrokes when the 6.0s first came out. I was sweating it. A big name Dallas Texas attorney on TV was saying if you bought a 6.0 Powerstroke give me a call. A automotive expert on TV said Ford went from the best engine they ever put in a truck the 7.3 to the worse engine they ever put in a truck the 6.0. I never got a complaint. It turns out the 6.0 cant tolorate the conventional system of allowing the oil get dirty then draining it. I wasnt too thrilled with a lubrication guy supervising me. I needed a lot of makeup oil for the big Gulf Coast filters. They brought me Walmart 15W 40. They said oil is oil. LOL.

Without the frantz my OCI was about 12k on my vehicles, with the frantz you need to add nearly a quart of oil when you change the roll, so it would be like a gradual oil change if I never drain the oil, I haven’t nailed down the toilet paper roll chance intervals yet but right now I’m going with between 4K and 5k.

@@frugallandlord6974 my father did as you plan to do, today I'm a retired HD Mech. Why, well there was always a engine in the workshop, today I know why, oil that was useless, the base oil is oil, never goes away, but the additives, be it detergents, viscosity additives, etc have broke down doing their jobs. To other fellow had them on his two cars, I visited him one time when he was working on a TP change, he asked if I'd help him change a valve cover gskt on a slant 6, on removal I've yet to see a engine with so much sludge, I asked him about changes, he said he doesn't change, he just adds, if I recall about a qrt. every 1000. My saying on oil changes, " Oil changes dre expensive, only one thing more expensive, no oil changes". I drive a diesel, never seen 7500K , a TDI, never seen 6K, a 5cyl Volvo never seen 5K, All are over 350K and the diesels never get black oil, the Volvo has color but not extreme, WHY ? the oil hasn't lost its additives, and the engine is clean. I've worked in a engine shop pre retiring, never did a worn out engine, lots of abused engines, air filters, no timely oil changes, lack of valve settings. I use the best oil, not always synthetic, but get it in 5 gal buckets on sale, with rebates, change it lots, even installed the quik drain valves. Worked at a Cummins shop, they recommend Valvoline, why, they formulate oil to clean the engine, our whole world changed with EGR, so did the repair frequencies, eng temps went up, oils don't last. The million mile engines are those that get Coolant, oil changes, hot weather hauls, dusty hauls, extreme cold get more frequent changes, off road we do 200-250 hr changes, ond off road lots of equipment, trucks have bypass filter like a Frantz. The Cat in the Alberta Tar sands get 40-50 K Hrs on engine if not overheated, their rads are mostly roof mounted on Dozers re keeping rads cool. That's my experience with Frantz, all in the sandbox of learning in a workshop with a cheap dad and no timely oil changes. Went to apprenticeship at Canfor, in the greasy pit, changed oil, greased for over a year, so I'm not into wore out stuff due to oil cheapness, in fact I tell people Mfg. says 10K do 5K, as they advertise not how long you will drive it, but which costs less, and Toyota just did a out of court Class action re long change intervals, and seized piston rings, trashed engines. So each to his own, see you at the rebuild shop.

In the 60s I normally changed the Frantz every 2000 miles and added a quart of Standard Delo 100 30W. I dont drain the oil. I did drain the oil one time and replaced a head gasket on the Rambler. The Australian Jackmaster Classic gets the toilet paper changed every 6.000 miles and a new quart of Walmart synthetic 10 30 is added. I dont know much about oil. I know enough about oil filters to be dangerous. The Pontiac had 140.000 miles on it when I got it. It has 207.000 miles on it now I havent drained the oil yet.

@@ralphwood8818 I'm just saying, take a valve cover of, if you see sludge, even a yellow varnish, know your detergents /additives are gone. Oil is dirt cheap compared to engines, I 100% agree filter the oil, in fact I've got a filter cutter for spin ones, can ones are easy, I look at the accordion. Treat your cars, change it's blood, treat it like you do your blood, take samples of both, change what it takes on both for your health, and your engines, trans, diffs, radiators, only God is eternal, the rest has expirey dates.

@@ralphwood8818 look up Cummins, Valvoline development, I've used the Valvoline on Diesels, Gas engines when I can get my hands on it cheaper, rebates, love my clean engines, 400 Miles on a 2004 Duramax shortly, still no black oil, yes brown, 2003 VW TDI 320 M, runs strong, done a turbo, cooked oil in housing, 2004 Volvo 5 cyl 2.5 286 KM all have had oil changes at 1/2 of factory recommended , why, I've been paid to fix engines that suffered from lack of timely changes, non flat wore out, all neglected out.

Yeah my plan is to renovate this one.
