Back at it working on Travis' stuff from Camel Tow Yard. This Pettibone has been through the ringer and neglected, used and abused. After I am finished it is running like a top... Now just how am I going to fit this project in the shop?
I grew up in the back end of a tool and equipment rental store.
One day you might be repairing an electric drill, next day a lawn mower, then a towable compressor, then a tracked excavator or dozer.
It’s all the same, just bigger or smaller.
Then you start building / fabricating.
Skills come and you become like Merlin, and the world becomes simple.
Ain’t but a thing.
Unfortunately skilled trades are going away.
Soon the world won’t have people like us, be a sad day indeed.
I used to work for company that rented anything and everything pneumatic. I remember tearing down all kinds of tools to replace seals and repaint.

Yep, I had Pasload factory training, we did all the rebuilds for the pneumatic guns and all the nails came to our warehouse and we shipped all over the country.
Also Ingersol Rand factory training to rebuild / service all pneumatics and compressors. Abrasive blasting.
Chipping hammer and jackhammer bits.
Factory training for Bosch electric’s, Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Makita, Stihl, and probably a few I forgot.
All kinds of training on Diamond cutting blades.
Couple of pressure washer brands.
4-5 brands of manlifts. Wisconsin Robin, Honda power. 3-4 brands of forklifts. Case.
Ditch Witch. Bobcat.
Serviced all our pickups, rollbacks, our Peterbuilt.
Never a dull moment, service, repair, power washing. Writing rental contracts, answering phone, deliveries, you did it all.
Loved every minute of it.
If I knew everything Merlin knows I would forget everything I know about motors and vehicles his knowledge is very impressive.
Jetski Jimmy rocks, Chico Jimmy’s truck is awesome. Thanks for shaving & burnout guys.
Love how you start and finish a project in the 1 video ... Thank you!
Very nice to have a friend who knows so much and is willing to help you.
Camel towing. Brilliant name
It if fun watching friends working side by side with friends. Big or small Merlin fixes toys of all shapes and sizes!
That old international pickup is cool with a 5.9 in it
Merlin thank you for teaching me again, especially about the dangers of using ether in a diesel.
That was cool! Loved the slammed VW “truck”.
Absolutely love yours and Travis’s passion …. It’s stuff that is disappearing 😢. Good f ing job🔧🔧🔧🔧🤣🔧
Merlin you are a talented individual, that talent didn’t come quick or easy, it came at a cost, thanks for sharing
You're an absolute legend Merlin. I want to stop by the shop and meet you one day you are bad ass my friend🤘🤘
@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage.. merlin how do I claim this?! Thanks bro
I wonder how many interesting vehicles you would have, if had another acre. Enjoy watching your work.
Merlin and Travis got the Pettibone engine tore down and put new rings in the engine and got er running again! Nice that Travis unloaded Merlin's new project car.
I really enjoyed this video I am a big fan of videos involving mechanical stuff. I am not a mechanic but I find videos very educational.
Merlin you definitely are one of the best at what you do
Once again MERLIN your DR FRANKENSTEIN bringing the dead back to life, Your knowledge of anything with a engine or a motor plus your fabrication is mind blowing . Along with your history WOW .
I love the Rabbit pick up
Merlin, interesting to see the variety of stuff you can work on. I know it's just nuts & bolts but, the wealth of
info you have on different mechanical stuff is impressive. Thanks for sharing!
Great way to start the day watching Merlin start old stuff. 🎉
There are aspects of ‘why’ ,we tune in, as folks who know a bit, and willingly, watch thru vague references, to pick up details, of the diesel history, in our world. Thank you..😀
Your wrecker games showing, simply put you, in a special category.
Brains over braun..🙊
Another video where we see start to finish. Enjoyed it!
Merlin reminds me of my brother Mike, who can fix anything! Keep up with the awesome content!
Good show old chap!
My brother in law had a VW truck like that. We called it Skippy the wonder truck. We hauled so many oversized loads in it.
Merlin! Gradall is located in my hometown of New Philadelphia Ohio
Awesome vid as always Merlin, loved the old international truck so cool , cool patina . And being a v dub fan loved the caddy very cool . Stay safe 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Hey Merlin good video! As a subscriber to your channel I and I hope many of your other subs are worried about you operating this forklift without brakes! SO! I'm going to give you a little Marine Corps motivation! Im going to SHOUT at the beginning of every comment on every video I watch from here to eternity HAVE YOU FIXED THE BRAKES YET! I hope your other subs will join me in the operation "SAVE MERLIN" HOW COPY OVER! LOL!
Love the sweet little VW Rabbit Caddy! Got one I need to finish. Nice work Travis! 👊👊👊👊👊 Always good to see something get refreshed and put back to work great work Merlin 👊👊👊👊👊
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Merlin the magician.
diggin the IH cummins truck, now ive got to do a havasu taco stop
Thanks for sharing your magic Merlin.
An old oil bath air filter might be better than any type of fiber filter in the dusty conditions. Just a thought!
Stay safe healthy and happy 👍
What do you want to use as a Donaldson nano fiber, technology, air filters arguably the best you can get forget KNM and stuff like that. It’s OK for the race track. I’m talking about the KNN but not for doing what some of you guys do when you got an engine you have to start with the ether because the fuel doesn’t get up to the injectors quickly use some WD-40 with that Smurfette put the WD-40 in first but it lubricate the rings and destination all that stuff all right this is six in a row Jim from Kennerdell, Pennsylvania❤❤🎉
That is awesome. It's great watching everything you do. Can't wait to see the mini semi with the trailer all done.
Totally captivated by your knowledge and wrench skills. Cummins forever! 😎
This is the fun stuff! First motor I rebuilt, I was nervous that I was going to screw something up. A mechanic friend I knew named Dan told me a phrase I'll never forget. "It's just nuts and bolts" now I can tackle anything, because it's not as daunting, it's just nuts and bolts!
Looks Great Merlin. Another Great job 👍
Merlin is an automotive and mechanical wizard. I bet he can fix and build anything. Thanks for all the great info and awesome videos!
Nice overhaul on the paint shaker Merlin.💪👍👍
Keep up the good work love watching you on TH-cam
I noticed that church bell ding dong got in the way of an important message. LOL
The shop equipment is always the last to get any attention. Good job you guys.👍
great job keep up the good work and thanks for sharing
Great video!! You always have some interesting side projects or friends cool old vehicles in addition to your main feature. Never a dull moment!! Thanks Merlin!!
Nicely done ! 💪👍🏼
Nice job on truck
Travis is down under there taking the oil pans off saying "fork me"
Really like your channel merlin. Hope you and your family have a great year.👍🚖🚗🚘🚙🛻🚚🚛🚜🏎🏍🛵
thank you 🙏 i’m
Thanks, keep the videos coming Merlin!!!
Great video like always my man!
My uncle had a international farm tractor every time we had to use it we had to bleed the fuel injection for it to start, great video keep up the good work God bless from GA
Merlin you make every project easy and trouble free, you've got great mechanical abilities as well as terific common sense. Thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍
Great video as always,you are the man. Great video.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Love your videos very informative !
Travis is a ball of energy!
Darn good job, that's what I like about your's and Fab Rats channels plus others. Most things can be fixed or repaired instead of just totally replaced. Yankee ingenuity at its finest.
I love that you use a forklift to fix a forklift! Good work! That 200x in the shot is sweet too!
I have little experience with Diesel but I like to watch you work with them.
Merlin,
You make it look so easy. I am amazed at your abilities.
👍👍
That VW diesel powered truck is awesome and rare. God bless
Great Content and Video recovery is golden for the 4bt Pettibone
Have a Great Day 👍
God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Really enjoy your film clips, plus learning new tricks
Love the Rabbit pick up😍😍
Merlin & his friend, very talented, competent & experienced mechanics, on engines small & large. His ingenuity & flexibility working on this rig is remarkable. His partner is very competent too. It's all interesting & informative & the video supplements greatly the verbal, re the presentation.
We never know what adventure you are doing next. That keeps the interest up. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome nice truck
I remember crawling into one of those VW trucks on an auction lot back in the day. It was just too cramped! Not enough legroom, and I'm only 6 foot.
Merlin, you gotta get a bigger place outta town, you need more room, cheers!
Awesome video love seeing those machines get back to work
Once again you preformed your magic. Nice golden doodle and model a in there too. Haha
Hey Merlin enjoyed this video, how about of do's and don'ts of starting fluid, I have a few million miles on me and use it sparingly but still use it.
As always Merlin awesome job! I've done many many in chassis rebuilds before!
Merlin, I wish I knew half the magic that you have forgotten. Much respect. 💫
Beautiful daily driver out of that 38 and once patina is cleared it's nice it's not the look is the good mechanical that's under must get some good laughs out of it 😅😅😅😅
Great videos . The pickup looks so cool. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
that talcum powder sand also gets into every "factory sealed" bearing. I bought a pickup truck in Cape Coral Fla. And believe me, by the time I had driven it back to Michigan I had to stop on the way home and have the front wheel bearings replaced. And after I got home I had to replace every pulley, water pump, alternator, power steering pump, and many other "factory sealed" seals. All because of 1200 to 2000 grit powder sand getting in. White sand from Ft. Meyers beach getting run over as it blew across the roadway into cape coral.
Big job Merlin but you make it look so easy!!
LMAZZOFF! BURN OUT KING! Boys will be Boys! LOVE IT!
Another great video. And I would love to have that VW pickup…..❤
Good job Merlin 👍👍
Very nice!!!
It’s always nice to have friends that own or run the local salvage yard. It something cool comes in, you’re the first call they make.
Here on the east coast, most salvage yards have become dismantling yards where they remove the straight sheet metal, engine, transmission, and differential, then the rest gets crushed. You don’t typically find vehicles there longer than 90 days.
Probably because they rust out so quickly and the auto wrecking business in the east is all run like a mafia deal, only the right people can get into the business because it is cornered for the most part.
@@alfredocarpaneto5976
About 25 years ago, the states started taxing the yards on titled vehicles. They send an agent out with serialized stickers and tie them to the vehicle VIN. It’s a tax thing. Once the title gets returned to DMV, the yard gets $10-15 per title turned in.
Can’t speak for NY, NJ, but anyone (business can purchase from insurance auctions) and with the right property zoning open a yard. The EPA highly regulates them, refrigerants, oils and fuel.
@@gungadinn Government is the biggest mafia organization to ever exist. What a shakedown scam.
wow, that Caddy looooks AAAAAAAWWWWWEEEEEEEESOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEE
Fantastic save!
Another fun video!
Another Great job Rebuilding a Cummins...Great Video..
Great content as usually! God bless!
Sweet tighten up on that petibone lift all and it sounds terrific now .did that have a double dry filter or was it a wet filter with low oil. I only asked as dads old 60 willeys had a wet filter but the first 2 original heads had tons of dust in the F head carb throats and we lucked into a near new head with new guides and seals the fella looked over our 2 old ones one was bad the other was total junk but both rebuildable he had one a customer left there after the work was done because he felt the rebuild should have been cheaper we paid him for his work and wanted to give him more but he was happy to get paid for the job done. He did call the owner of the near new head and he said do what ever you want with it i bought a new one. Which we know wasnt cheap we hoped he got the upgraded version as opposed to the origanal stock format.
Awesome work, love the show !
Great top end job Merlin
Now this is one mega episode...!!...jam packed with super duper content...!!...wow...
