You're welcome! I'm glad it worked out for you.

Exactly what happened to me. I’m glad it helped you.

For the rectangle gauge that goes in the 41-47 cabovers I use Classic Instruments 1940 Ford Gauge Sets FC40OE. Summit part number is CIN-FC40OE. They are just 1940 ford style gauge clusters. For the earlier COE 1938-40 I use the equivalent 4 3/8 1951-52 Ford F1 gauges by New Vintage USA 37215-02 2 Gauge Kit Woodward Series 4 3/8" Beige. I hope this helps.

@ChadDrake4185 🙏

Surely you don’t really believe that.

Yes, remove the nuts from the end of the bolts, leave the bolts in the starter. Those bolts will secure the starter to the block. Just be careful with the body of the starter once those nuts are removed. Be sure to keep it all together

Forgot the exposed fan

Flathead v8 with stock transmission? What kind of starter are you using?

@@ChadDrake4185 all stock. The starter is just a aftermarket one. It has the same bendix like the one in the video. I can move it fine it’s not locked and seems to move fine. The old one is the spring style bendix.

@@buddygotchamake sure the bolts on the end of the shaft are long enough. I bought a flathead starter from power master a while back and it just spun and didn’t turn the flywheel. Determined the problem was because one of the bolts holding the bendix to the shaft, was too short. The shaft was spinning in the bendix. Let me know once you check. I’ll think more about your situation to see if I can help.

I bought my rebuild kit from a seller on eBay. My pumps are the tapered pumps. I tried searching for a rebuild kit recently for another subscriber and I wasn’t able to find one online. I’m sure they are out there. Check with the seller “NJPARTS” on eBay. Find one of their listings and send them a message asking about a 60hp water pump rebuild kit. The part number I used is BB63. The Ford part number is 52-8591. I hope this helps

@@CedarTrailsLiving you’re welcome. Glad it worked out.

Welcome.

Ha! I know how you feel. Thanks for watching.

@@ChadDrake4185 wish you were closer....over here in n.c.

Awesome! Glad it helped!

Yes. I built metal stanchions and welded them to the metal chassis. Then I used 4x4 treated lumber to lay on those stanchions giving me a flat surface to lay the 4x4 cross members. Then, I lay the 2x12 lumper on those cross members. Everything is welded or bolted with galvanized 3/8” carriage bolts.

@@ChadDrake4185 I don't have a MIG welder, but if I end up having to do some on frame welding I will probably pick up a stick welder. Took welding back in highschool a few years ago. I'm also considering getting an old flat bed truck in the future, would you say they are worth it? It seems like you did a full on restoration for this truck, I would more likely be buying something already running. I've seen a lot of older flat bed trucks (not the collectors kind) going for around $5k or less.

@@Death2Compromise I highly recommend a MiG welder. Super simple. I use a Lincoln 140 weldpak. It only uses 120v and welds everything I ever need. Plus, it has an aluminum spool gun so I can MiG aluminum too.

​@@ChadDrake4185Thanks, I'll look into it!

​@@ChadDrake4185 Luckily, with the simple frame design of the ranger, I won't need to do any welding! 👍

Yes. Tin side 60

It’s on signal mountain TN. I’m not sure how to describe which stop exactly. Most of these vendors are there each year. It’s the best stop on the route, in my opinion.

Thx for getting back to us we live in Dandridge Tn

I don’t know.

😂 I felt the exact same way. I even removed the big orange label that says “do not turn or it will lock” before I even read it. I actually locked mine before I even pulled it out of the box. Im glad this video helped you.

Hmm. There’s another video showing a bench grinder menthod in order to get it spinning fast enough. Are you using a good, strong 12v battery? It has to spin fast.

@ChadDrake4185 I'll give the grinder method a try. Battery is in good shape. I took the starter back out so I can at least pull start it and drive it lol 1963 f600 with a 292

@@kylekauffman7771 keep me posted on how it goes. I’m curious which method ends up working. Keep at it. It’ll go.

Can't get my brand new bendix to retract this way either.

@@aloneinanearthship4010 Me neither..

I’ll have to rewatch the video to see where I asked your opinion. I don’t recall that part.

​@@ChadDrake4185Rewatch video, that was so dangerous in many ways. YOUR WELCOME

I don’t think I have a video on just the stand. It’s just a basic run stand I bought from Summit Racing online. I swapped all the gauges because the kit came with junk gauges. I sturdied it up with heavier swivle casters and a 2x6 lumber platform. What details are you needing?

@@ChadDrake4185 I guess the key systems that you used. Looks like I also need to use my starter solenoid, Ive never used an engine run stand...

I’m happy it worked. But I don’t understand the question. What are you asking? Thanks for the comment!

Sorry! Any ideas to what causes it to stick? I’ve got a brand new starter and about every other cranks it sticks.

@@PrayludeRecycledParadise alignment or tolerance around the shaft perhaps. I’ve noticed that even when mine sticks, it will unstick itself and it still functions properly once it unsticks. Is yours the same?
