Honey bees aren't normally too aggressive and contrary to what you might think when they are swarming they are focused on just that swarming and leaving
My husband, John was an avid watcher of your videos. He really looked forward to the next and would send you comments and encouragements. He passed away two weeks ago.
As an Auto Technician, I don't have a ton of experience with diesels. I've actually learned a few things from watching your videos. The big thing that I really respect is the fact that you keep the language clean even with everything going against you. In the real world, that just doesn't happen. Keep up the great work.
"The big thing that I really respect is the fact that you keep the language clean even with everything going against you. In the real world, that just doesn't happen. Keep up the great work." I completely agree with this comment... Thank you for noticing this and pointing it out. I thought I was the only one that appreciated this about Matt.
Like another commenter said, a 2-stroke Detroit can’t run without the blower. There is no “intake stroke” on a 2-stroke. The piston comes down and uncovers the admission port and the exhaust valves open. The blower forces in fresh air which forces the exhaust gases out. The exhaust valves close as the piston starts back up, the piston covers the admission ports and starts compressing the air, the fuel gets injected near TDC, the piston is shoved back down, and the sequence repeats.
A bit of advice. Bees will react a lot more aggressively if you freak out and start whacking them. You're basically releasing "Come get me" smells to the bees. Remain calm, go about your work, and try to resist the urge to whack the bees. Everyone will be happier by the end!
You're Diesel Creek, it's not a question of IF you can get it running. It's a question of WHEN you van get it running. Keep making house updates we want to know about it too.
I’m glad you took the path that you did. It was especially fun (it was for us) to watch you dodging 🐝. Without going through these steps, you wouldn’t KNOW what you now do….this time it is mostly scrap/crap and a few salvageable parts. The video was still worth it and your reputation of being the great rescuer is intact. A recap: 🔥Recovery removal - lots of interesting stumbling blocks (some self imposed)…you pushed through and it was a success. 🔥Dangling Mouse (and house clean-out) - some of the best content right there… you ignored it for so long that some people thought it was a comment generator on purpose. Nope….you bumped it multiple times and never even noticed until it was your head (pure gold). Huge success, despite the inability to revive the damaged mouse house…lots of learning for all. 🔥 Character - being vulnerable, showing your own mistakes (and bee dodging), stubbornness or sticktoitiveness (it’s a word), and overall good nature is why we watch more than the learning. Stay the course!
Love how you gently get the access to the engine. I was surprised that you didn't see Mr. rat hanging at 21:20 until much later on. Anyway, it was a valiant effort on your part to save the engine, This is the reason I came to this channel to watch.
Those are called rotors, and you're right. When they look like that, that blower is junk. Fat Allis is happy, she's back in the salvage yard! Great video.
And most def that blower was unrepairable at a cost n time wise way its to far gone i think this whole thing motor included are on there way through the bridgestone arch in the sky where the michelin men take u to ur final car/truck seat.😂😂😂
I don't tend to put likes and comments, but this very video where you show real things like being unable to run the engine - this video is worth both like and comment. Real reality and not reality show "reality". Thanks, buddy.
When I was in the DSNY, my garage had GMC 9500 twins, but they were known as cutdowns. They had the gas V6/Allison, and a big lift gate. They were used for snow plows, snow removal, and lot cleaning. They were replaced by a bigger tandem Brigadier cutdown with a 92 Detroit. Loved it and hated it at the same time. The bed could only be raised with the slightest amount of throttle, or the PTO would cut out. But the five inch stack on the driver side made me forget about that.
Good morning! I was once looking to buy a transmission out of an old ice cream truck the scrap yard. Little did i know that there was a yellow jacket nest under the seat when I sat in it to make sure the gearshift wasn't frozen. It solidified my favorite saying "good stories usually are not good at the time" 😅
The "truck delete" moment had me laughing so hard! Absolutely love your touch of humor and editing. And of course the mechanical content itself! Greetings from Switzerland. Love the content!
hey diesel creek! im a beekeeper honeybees are usually fairly calm, and are reluctant to sting due to it causing their death, they usually only sting if you are within about ten feet of the nest, or if you swat at them bees in a box like that are usually friendly hornets like yellow jackets are evil, end of story. they're not a type of bee, and they are evil. red and black ones are less angry but still not nice
Hi Matt wonderful video man it was well worth watching you doing your thing man,your good but sometimes all is against you as this time you still had ideas how you could share parts out to your mates😅.Your well worth watching Matt if only for your humour. Thanks Matt.
Great effort and worth the time/try....salvage what you can and scrap the rest....REALITY!!! Thanks for a realistic rescue video! Keep up the great work, Matt! Love the channel and all of your content.
@@urbanstd1I used one on a Yamaha twin cylinder I ratted out. Cool looking bike. Sold it first week i rode it. younger guys loved it. Made an offer id been stupid to refuse. Sold!
The “Truck Delete” was awesome! Old Fat Alice was back in her element tearing vehicles apart at the scrapyard. Stoked to see your next video is going to be working on your old Ford service truck. That truck is cool and it would be great to upgrade the rear-end and suspension.
Another good video, this time to witness Matt’s diagnostic approach to mechanical problems, and then his philosophical approach to salvaging parts for future good use. Matt has a sensible limit on the value of his time and when to finally give up. Good balance of judgement. I think everyone will agree with his decisions on this video. He’s a smart guy.
I know they don't like those tires and rims on commercial vehicles, but for restoration purposes, sell those rims or use it just as temporary wheels to move stuff around. But liking the growth of your channel man. Been from the start of it, nice to see another blue collar construction brother become his own boss and chase the dream we all are trying to.
Good Saturday morning Matt! The issue is with the "Guard" bees. Drones don't have stingers. It's not the noise that gets them riled up, it's walking in front of the hive entrance and ground vibration. Next time you should keep some gauntlet-style gloves and a mosquito headnet in your truck. Way to go in saving the 6-71. 🙂
Matt , you get a spare engine and gearbox , your neighbour gets some wheels , you get a couple of tanks and some diesel , Sam gets his tipping rams and pumps and you get a few bucks for the scrap.....I would call that a result.......and you can always say Vroom Vroom for the engine noises
Salvage what you can salvage, and after all is said and done, and the rest of the truck is sent to the junk yard, time to make videos on machinery more practical that you educate us that applies to everyday ways and means of doing and repairing what is meaningful! You're very top notch in every thing you do!.
A (probably) working air pump head and an air bottle for making a shop compressor; An exhaust pipe with beautiful protective cover; Some gauges and switches and valves as spares...
Dead mouse hanging by its tail in a junk truck air filter, classic stuff only found on DIESEL CREEK! Thanks for sharing your adventurous life Matt, BEEWARE!
@@jefffinley6569 Yeah, but having a jucky mouse dangling all over the place without noticing seemed a bit strange as well. at least he didn´t inadvertedly take a bite ;) Bet it is a good idea to keep your tetanus shot up to date working on that stuff. although contact with soil is far more dangerous in that regard than rusty metal.
This truck brought back so many memories of my childhood my grandfather had one just like it. We used to play in them on the farm. He also had cars and pickup trucks and I don't want to forget the honeybees! When he passed away his son junked all the trucks, and it was so hard for me to see them go. The worst thing was I worked at the junkyard that took them. Thanks for sharing I had to share mine.
Right from the get-go I was telling you to get back into your truck and drive home. Forget about that truck. I'm so glad that you didn't listen to me, because you got yourself a good engine, some spare parts, and a few $$$ from the scrap yard. As a rodent hater, I noted that hanging corpse long before you did. Creepy. I loved seeing Fat Alice rip that cab off of the frame. I gotta support my fellow old lady. She did great! I hope eventually you can get that motor running, and use it to bring back another piece of history. Good luck!!!
Matt, you and I have the same thoughts at times, it's uncanny. Seeing the state of the blower, I knew it was not going to work - no blower - not work - needs blower to breath. You did teach me something, I didn't know about drive shaft! As always you teach me something about American trucks every week, usually anyway. Thanks as always from UK.
The fact your drive to make us happy bye getting that motor running tells me a lot about yourself Matt!!!!Thanks for your loyalty!!!!to all us!!!!!this video was great even thou the motor couldn't be fixed.....for me the ending was just fine because it shows what real life is all about.....sometimes you just cant fix it.....I hate that also but its life!!!
Love that new air conditioning you installed in the cab Matt. I have to say I got some real good laughs from this vid' Thanks for sharing. And yes, there are some good bits to salvage so, all is not junk. Cheers and thanks from the UK.
Someone may have already commented on this, (I did not read over 2,400 entries)... But for reference. Honeybees only sting in defense. Once they sting once, they die. Yellow Jackets and hornets are in the Wasp family. Those sucker sting to eat... so they can sting you several times and keep coming back for more. There are other differences as well.
Matt, have one thing to say. If it's free you'll take it long as you know what you're doing. You got it going on. Love your Shirley. You're about the best show out there. Thank you for this videos
I usually don't enjoy seeing something destroyed but there was something oddly enjoyable about removing the cab, without unbolting any bolts. I believe the spinning parts inside the blower are called rotors. At least that's what I recall from the old hot rod days, when those 6-71 blowers were all the rage!
It's a 2 stroke. It doesn't create vacuum. The blower pushes air into the cylender to push out exhaust. The blower is essential.....it's not like a turbo that adds performance.
This video reminded me of when I started watching his channel and you worked on your dump truck in front of your overcrowded garage, amazing how far this channel and Matts abilites have come.
Hey Matt . . . "petrified mouse hanging from Oil Bath intake" . . . GREAT idea for your next T-Shirt!! PS: another great, instructive video. Best to you!
Once again, I am impressed by all the mouse-nests you find in all cavitys of your equipment in the USA, causing major damage, like in your case. Here in Europe, we do not have this mouse-issues. But we have fun with another cute furry critter, the marten, who loves to sleep in the warm engine compartment an to chomp on wires and hoses. Shoutout from Germany (just drowning in rain).
I like the video. It shows you go through bees, wasps, mouse houses, tons of corrosion and other nasties just to keep us entertained. It also shows that the "will it run" videos you produce are not fake, and that sometimes it's just not worth it.
West Virginia alignment..... had never heard that phrase before. And then you so humbly and honestly showed why. Love all your videos, every single one.
That was so satisfying watching you "pull" the cab off. Many don't know the Detroit are 2 stroke engine also, just exaust valves with slots for the forced blower intake. I used to replace those shaft on the 4cyl box trucks all the time.
Always enjoy watching your videos and sorry that you couldn't get that motor running. Like you mentioned, you pass on some parts that others can use, and that is a great thing!! Always enjoy your channel, keep up the great job!
Man, that cab removal was brutal! Glad you can save some bits and pieces to keep some old iron going. Tip for the bees is to trigger their survival brhavior with smoke. It completely distracts them.
Hi Matt, thnks for takng the time to look thru it all and see what progress & stall there are. Lets regroup and look for that blower...no rush. Take a look evry so often
Don't feel badly that it wouldn't start. We have 100% confidence in your abilities, as proven by every one of your prior videos. But if you DO send any or all of it to the scrap recyclers, I'd love to learn what it's worth to them as scrap metal.
Very enjoyable video. I love the disassembly method. Kind of rewarding after you spent so much time being nice to the truck. Thanks Matt. Keep them coming.
Being a patriot goes beyond just loving our country; it means safeguarding the intricate web of life that sustains it. By protecting bees, we not only preserve our environment and food security but also demonstrate true love and dedication towards our nation's natural heritage.
Have you ever considered having a few barn cats by your workshop? To help keep mice out of your current equipment parked outside and under the shed, etc..
Gorgeous rig, we don't really have these in Europe so have to play Snowrunner to get my fix. Even though my regular job is driving trucks and equipment around a 2014 cabover Volvo just is not the same haha. Watching right now, thanks for the upload and great work!
@@Frank-Thoresen Ive driven a 1960 Daf Torpedo a while back that a local guy has restored. They are really cool trucks. I basically like most older trucks cab over or not.
Far-From-Pro tip on pulling a shaft like the blower drive. If you can have the space then drill and tap the end of the shaft, for a shaft that size maybe 10-32. You can then weld the corresponding screw to a slide hammer adapter and use it to pull the shaft. It's a technique that served me well for many years fixing industrial equipment.
Bees play a crucial role in our ecosystem, and it's truly remarkable how their tiny wings have a big impact on our lives. As pollinators, bees are responsible for fertilizing flowers, fruits, and vegetables, ensuring the reproduction and growth of countless plant species. This process not only sustains the natural balance of our environment but also supports the agricultural industry, contributing to the production of food that we rely on. Moreover, bees produce honey, which not only serves as a delicious natural sweetener but also provides various health benefits. It's essential that we appreciate and protect these incredible creatures, as their decline poses a significant threat to our food security and biodiversity. Let's raise awareness and take action to preserve bee populations and create a sustainable future for all.
Matt just wanted to say I appreciate your commenting from time to time I realize you don't have time to reply to every comment but , when you do it makes me feel a small part of the channel.
It’s all good. Appreciate your commitment to saving these old machines. Seems a shame to not save the cab glass but I’m in the U.K. so no idea how desirable that is. Love the channel and keep it coming.
A quick primer - wasps build bare combs under a protected space, hornets build enclosed nests aboveground, and yellowjackets build enclosed nests underground. Their defensiveness towards their nest sites is definitely something to be reckoned with! But if the nest isn't in the way, they are definitely a nice alternative to bug zappers in dealing with mosquitos and the like! Drone bees and wasps don't appear until late season - they don't sting; they have only one task in their brief life: mating with next year's queens.
@@notajp yeah, both hornets and yellow jackets will nest anywhere they can, old hollowed out logs, drain lines, all walls with a hole, inside vehicles, and more. had a bumble bee nest go under my old metal shed, right directly in the center under the doors, I found it when I strolled out and yanked the doors open. BZZZZZZ. amazingly, not one sting, although a few bounced off at high speed. I don't mind the flying suckers, so long as they're not nesting in or around my dwellings. in the last few years, I've had four yellow jacket nests, two in garage/house attic, one in the ground and one in block wall. I tried sprays and powders, but it didn't seem to effect them. the ground nest I got whizzed off and dumped over a quart of gasoline straight in and left the hole covered with large plastic container for a week. fixed the ones in house/attic I ended up drilling a small hole for brake parts cleaner tube to fit through and just blasted a whole can of chlorinated cleaner into the nests directly from inside. lol, solved, don't light a match or cause any sparks! about 10 minutes later no more action
Hello Matt: I would call this a Win. Sunday morning coffee and Diesel Creek as well. A couple of others WWW. Mustie etc. Keep this long time viewer coming back. So sure it would be nice to see the engine run, not exactly necessary. Unless you can find a exploded 671 with a decent blower to swap, call this one a success and lets see the next project next Sunday morning.
I really hope you enjoyed this video in spite of all the set backs! I HATE BEES! it made filming on location pretty intense!
U know big stuff is going on at the farm when there's a bunch of video that may or may not have been filmed a "while" back
No such thing as a free dump truck, eh? lol. It’s the setbacks that make the videos better. Awesome content every week!
I hate bees too but mainly cos I'll die if I get stung 😂
Honey bees aren't normally too aggressive and contrary to what you might think when they are swarming they are focused on just that swarming and leaving
@@johnypitman2368 very true they get agitated when then run out of room and before the queen buggers off
I love how Matt completely ignores the dead swinging mouse.😂😂😂
I didn’t notice it! Lol
I was literally sitting here dumbfounded like was I really just seeing a dead mouse swinging around??
Same here.. just seeing it and him completely ignoring it had me confused 🤣🙈

Good morning Sir, one of the best ways to start my Saturday morning is watching one of your new videos. Good morning from Eastern Kentucky.
Let me second that from here, Western Kentucky. Matt, we have you covered from one end of the State to another! We appreciate everything you do.
Right from the get-go I was telling you to get back into your truck and drive home. Forget about that truck. I'm so glad that you didn't listen to me, because you got yourself a good engine, some spare parts, and a few $$$ from the scrap yard.

I hope eventually you can get that motor running, and use it to bring back another piece of history. Good luck!!!
Well, he needs a blower first of all and they aren't cheap unless he could find a used one. Maybe can sell the engine as is for parts.

Is it still a cab when half goes in the air and the other half stays on the truck along with the seats? 😂
@@TheAndre8900 new. Design. Half cab
It is amazing how many of life's problems can be solved with heavy equipment.
Someone may have already commented on this, (I did not read over 2,400 entries)... But for reference. Honeybees only sting in defense. Once they sting once, they die. Yellow Jackets and hornets are in the Wasp family. Those sucker sting to eat... so they can sting you several times and keep coming back for more. There are other differences as well.
I'd love to see you get it running. It'd be really educational.
You pulling that cab off was the best thing I've seen on your show in long time...😅
Yep he got western pulling off the cab 😂
Thought we were at Inwood, Ontario with 1Puglife.
I like the Big Yellow truck delete tool 😅
I’m not sure about the best… but it’s up there around the top 15…😂
That cab delete clip was like a gentle version of a Zip Ties video. Love it!
Matt, have one thing to say. If it's free you'll take it long as you know what you're doing. You got it going on. Love your Shirley. You're about the best show out there. Thank you for this videos
I usually don't enjoy seeing something destroyed but there was something oddly enjoyable about removing the cab, without unbolting any bolts. I believe the spinning parts inside the blower are called rotors. At least that's what I recall from the old hot rod days, when those 6-71 blowers were all the rage!
The Grill would make cool Wall Art, with the lights lit up.
Exactly what i was thinking................
It's a 2 stroke. It doesn't create vacuum. The blower pushes air into the cylender to push out exhaust. The blower is essential.....it's not like a turbo that adds performance.
Matt you’ve sure got more nerve than I do messing around those bee’s. You’re a die hard rescuer and it’s commendable.
Ok now I’ll watch you in action.
This video reminded me of when I started watching his channel and you worked on your dump truck in front of your overcrowded garage, amazing how far this channel and Matts abilites have come.
Hey Matt . . . "petrified mouse hanging from Oil Bath intake" . . . GREAT idea for your next T-Shirt!! PS: another great, instructive video. Best to you!
It's so nice to see you get a piece of equipment that is just not worth saving...and then seeing what your do with it...
Once again, I am impressed by all the mouse-nests you find in all cavitys of your equipment in the USA, causing major damage, like in your case. Here in Europe, we do not have this mouse-issues. But we have fun with another cute furry critter, the marten, who loves to sleep in the warm engine compartment an to chomp on wires and hoses. Shoutout from Germany (just drowning in rain).
I love that Husky screwdriver you were using, found them on clearance a while back and have about 20 of them after giving them to a bunch of friends
Excellent use of the “Camarata” method of cab removal. Also, try and weld up the hole in the rotor. LOL. Enjoyed it!!
I like the video. It shows you go through bees, wasps, mouse houses, tons of corrosion and other nasties just to keep us entertained. It also shows that the "will it run" videos you produce are not fake, and that sometimes it's just not worth it.
That was a great looking cab design, especially the long hood with the V12 Detroit ! Badass !!!
Gotta say the 'Truck Delete' was awesome!!! Very Efficient!
Keep the grill with headlights.excellent wall art . inside or outside your house or shop!!!
West Virginia alignment..... had never heard that phrase before. And then you so humbly and honestly showed why. Love all your videos, every single one.
Thanks!!
This result is exactly why to not pull by the steer axle
Loved seeing Fat Alis rip the cab off - no messing with rusted bolts, wires, brake lines. Wish I was there to lend a hand 😀
I like the Zip Ties Peg style "gentle surgery" with the loader! Mint!! 👌👌
36:12 Access Granted. Lol what a beaut, cool video still Matt.
Is it wrong that I found an inordinate amount of joy when Matt gently removed the cab? Great video!
Is the core worth. It
Recycled at its. FINEST
Yep, "medival" was the right word. I agree, one of your best videos ever.
That was so satisfying watching you "pull" the cab off. Many don't know the Detroit are 2 stroke engine also, just exaust valves with slots for the forced blower intake. I used to replace those shaft on the 4cyl box trucks all the time.
Matt, Save the air horns on top of the cab! If only for wall art.
Or raffle the air horns off to someone that buys stuff in the shop.
And the chicken chasers!
Great day when a diesel creek video is dropped. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks! Will do!
Always enjoy watching your videos and sorry that you couldn't get that motor running. Like you mentioned, you pass on some parts that others can use, and that is a great thing!! Always enjoy your channel, keep up the great job!
Man, that cab removal was brutal! Glad you can save some bits and pieces to keep some old iron going. Tip for the bees is to trigger their survival brhavior with smoke. It completely distracts them.
Such precision removal of. Cab
Still waiting for overhead crane😋
Enjoy your content!
Hi Matt, thnks for takng the time to look thru it all and see what progress & stall there are. Lets regroup and look for that blower...no rush. Take a look evry so often
I can honestly say I’ve never seen a cab removed like that before, I like it.good job 😊😊😊

1:49 "so here is this beautiful rig" . Jesus Matt, you are giving the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" it's true meaning...
I'd love to see you get it running
i would love to see you get this old beast run, a rainy sunday project
🎉scrap and recycle for old trucks 🎉👍thanks for passing the parts along for others 👍
Don't feel badly that it wouldn't start. We have 100% confidence in your abilities, as proven by every one of your prior videos. But if you DO send any or all of it to the scrap recyclers, I'd love to learn what it's worth to them as scrap metal.
Very enjoyable video. I love the disassembly method. Kind of rewarding after you spent so much time being nice to the truck. Thanks Matt. Keep them coming.
The "Truck delete" was awesome, I could not stop laughing when you hoisted the roof and the seats were left behind!
Being a patriot goes beyond just loving our country; it means safeguarding the intricate web of life that sustains it. By protecting bees, we not only preserve our environment and food security but also demonstrate true love and dedication towards our nation's natural heritage.
Thanks
Thank you!
Have you ever considered having a few barn cats by your workshop? To help keep mice out of your current equipment parked outside and under the shed, etc..
With little harnesses that say Diesel Creet Rust Prevention Unit :)
@@HadeusRVS I demand hats.
Obviously they wont wear them all the time but would be great for photo ops.
Gorgeous rig, we don't really have these in Europe so have to play Snowrunner to get my fix. Even though my regular job is driving trucks and equipment around a 2014 cabover Volvo just is not the same haha.
Watching right now, thanks for the upload and great work!
The closest we had was Scania LS 110 and Volvo N88. Both made in the 60's and early 70's.
Then the cabovers took over the market.
In Poland we had some Tatra 148's, but not many.
@@Frank-Thoresen Ive driven a 1960 Daf Torpedo a while back that a local guy has restored. They are really cool trucks. I basically like most older trucks cab over or not.
Far-From-Pro tip on pulling a shaft like the blower drive. If you can have the space then drill and tap the end of the shaft, for a shaft that size maybe 10-32. You can then weld the corresponding screw to a slide hammer adapter and use it to pull the shaft. It's a technique that served me well for many years fixing industrial equipment.
Bees play a crucial role in our ecosystem, and it's truly remarkable how their tiny wings have a big impact on our lives. As pollinators, bees are responsible for fertilizing flowers, fruits, and vegetables, ensuring the reproduction and growth of countless plant species. This process not only sustains the natural balance of our environment but also supports the agricultural industry, contributing to the production of food that we rely on. Moreover, bees produce honey, which not only serves as a delicious natural sweetener but also provides various health benefits. It's essential that we appreciate and protect these incredible creatures, as their decline poses a significant threat to our food security and biodiversity. Let's raise awareness and take action to preserve bee populations and create a sustainable future for all.
Not to mention all the hives that get transported out to the fields for pollination
Their decline has actually been exaggerated and possibly was even a lie.
Thanks to Matt my Saturday just went from good to great 😊 Have a great weekend everyone
Grill is so cool!!!! Making the wall art is great idea.
I think so too!
Matt just wanted to say I appreciate your commenting from time to time I realize you don't have time to reply to every comment but , when you do it makes me feel a small part of the channel.
I try!
Love the no prep cab removal. TH-cam Gold!!
It’s all good. Appreciate your commitment to saving these old machines. Seems a shame to not save the cab glass but I’m in the U.K. so no idea how desirable that is. Love the channel and keep it coming.
The rest of the video is much appreciated too, but the main takeaway here is that Carhartt make car seat covers. Neat.
A quick primer - wasps build bare combs under a protected space, hornets build enclosed nests aboveground, and yellowjackets build enclosed nests underground. Their defensiveness towards their nest sites is definitely something to be reckoned with! But if the nest isn't in the way, they are definitely a nice alternative to bug zappers in dealing with mosquitos and the like! Drone bees and wasps don't appear until late season - they don't sting; they have only one task in their brief life: mating with next year's queens.
what a job: mating with the queen.
There are such things as ground hornets. I’ve been stung by them and wound up in the hospital!
@@notajp yeah, both hornets and yellow jackets will nest anywhere they can, old hollowed out logs, drain lines, all walls with a hole, inside vehicles, and more.
had a bumble bee nest go under my old metal shed, right directly in the center under the doors, I found it when I strolled out and yanked the doors open. BZZZZZZ. amazingly, not one sting, although a few bounced off at high speed. I don't mind the flying suckers, so long as they're not nesting in or around my dwellings.
in the last few years, I've had four yellow jacket nests, two in garage/house attic, one in the ground and one in block wall. I tried sprays and powders, but it didn't seem to effect them. the ground nest I got whizzed off and dumped over a quart of gasoline straight in and left the hole covered with large plastic container for a week. fixed
the ones in house/attic I ended up drilling a small hole for brake parts cleaner tube to fit through and just blasted a whole can of chlorinated cleaner into the nests directly from inside. lol, solved, don't light a match or cause any sparks! about 10 minutes later no more action
Keep it up lil brother, you can only save what you can. I found a old snapper mower. Plan to restore.
Did'nt you forget some screws on the cab before removing it ? 😂😂😂
I love it ! 👍
So sad I love the Body style of the GMC 9500. Wish it was saveable.😊
Hello Matt: I would call this a Win. Sunday morning coffee and Diesel Creek as well. A couple of others WWW. Mustie etc. Keep this long time viewer coming back. So sure it would be nice to see the engine run, not exactly necessary. Unless you can find a exploded 671 with a decent blower to swap, call this one a success and lets see the next project next Sunday morning.
Can't believe you never mentioned the dead mouse hanging by its tail from the filter housing 🐭
Oh wait, you finally noticed it @26:30 :)
