This is a fantastic reminder of why I'm addicted to VGG. Even though all of the new content keeps me hooked, I so enjoy the classic episodes like this one. God Bless!
Dude,you gave a new fan. I just keep watching. I hope you get some type of compensation from sponsors or what not. You're one of the few on youtube that deserve it. There are no failures just life lessons. Yeah ,I know ,corny. Love the videos bro.
A true/honest mechanic would have not have lied, nor any other trade. shame on you. your the reason people stay away from slack ass mechanics like you.
ted a he is a farm technician that’s how we fix stuff when something blows up fix it to the best of your ability with baling wire and run till it blows up again then maybe fix it with proper parts
Great words of wisdom at the end. If more people were like you. We wouldn't see so many old cars. Sitting in barns, fields, front yards, etc. Just wasting away to nothing.
The #1 reason for that is the cry of every lazy fat boomer in the world - "more than it's worth". "I was buying these cars in 1962 and they were only $300, now it costs $200 for a set of tires 60 years later! more than its worth!" and then the car sits and wastes away while they leave it rot away out of spite and ignorance of time dilation.
As someone still learning about engines and mechanic work, I appreciate you giving more explanation in this one. About half of what I know about engines now comes from watching your videos.
Another awesome video man sen almost all of them now I lsike the goofy light heartedness of the issues that come up that suck, fixing things can be really frustrating but you can tell you know your shit and seem to enjoy it. Always awesosme content. Keep kickin names and takin ass man.
That voiceover at the end was so amazing. Kind of reminds me of that Bear outdoors guy mixed in with a little Bushradical. Where they say some positive words to encourage a guy who's down, down on his luck. Can't believe I waited so long to see this. Revivals will still be my favorite. Even if they don't turn out to be happy endings. Life's like that. Doesn't always work out.
Ah a trip down memory lane. This was the very first video of yours that I watched many moons ago, back when I first started getting into car TH-camrs. It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come.
My brother had a MM M670. spent quite a lot of time working with and on that beast. He's passed now, and the farm is gone, but seeing these old tractors brings back memories.
Dad's favorite tractor, a MM UB diesel,, one year started loosing coolant, Pa said think it's head gasket, soon as we're done it's rebuild time for that one, of course as soon after done filling silo started fall plowing, after milking one nite thought got enough time to finish that one field, in my hurry didn't top radiator, made one round and it made a pop snap noise,,, and stopped, walked home told pa we unhooked plow dragged it home to the shop,, 2 days later picked up a 1066 with a 5-18 plow, took me 6 months to find a head for the mm ub diesel,,, but Dad kept the mm ub right up till we were done farming, in fact it was the last piece of machinery sold
I'm A city fella but every summer as a kid id go live out on my aunt's farm in the country...they had a 1948 John Deere tractor(I forget what model...it was big! 😂) still in service and it was the late 80s...first thing I ever learned to drive lol they gave me an old broken briggs and stratton riding mower and a tool set to tinker with....suprised my uncle's when i figured out how to get her running again...took the blades off and all that stuff and used it to get around the farm to do my various chores....she had 18 horses ...fun times!!!!
Those plugs probably have big black caterpillars on them. Too bad, I hate when one part costs more than the tractor. The electrical department was not helping to run to the fullest either. I do the same evaluation, turn over then fuel then redue entire electric system. Helps when I go to therapy. LOL
I bought a Minneapolis Moline that a broken seat so I mounted the front part of an old horse saddle I had laying around to sit on until I got a different seat. I was out bouncing around on it in the field when my wife walked out and wanted to try it. So she got on it and went bouncing along and after a few minutes, she had this silly smile on her face. She rode it till the dang thing ran out of gas and then dragged me into the house and it wasn't even Saturday night. The next day I painted the name For Play above the Minneapolis moline on the hood.
I know I'm about 6 months late but that was a nice little speech at the end. Watching these videos is what's got me thinking I can fix my grandpa's '79 Chevy C10 250ci. I'd like to keep it as original as possible and give it to my uncle. He'd really appreciate since he has more memories with it than I do.
Hey, I 2nd,3rd, and 68th this suggestion. Would have 69th also... but would have got a blown rod or something apparently... sign me up for 36.8 of them.
You brought back many memories of me working on my dad's 8 and 9 ford and jubilee . Many times the line from glass bowl to carb would clog up. Thanks for the memories. I am 70 now.
Way I was taught, you use about 1/4 to 1/3 third throttle, no choke, spin it over and as it spins, pull choke out, it will fire a couple times and you push it in half way to let it start, then idle it down. Of course, you are in the middle of a rescue mission and having other issues. Loving watching you work. Everybody has different tricks, I am appreciating watching.. I had a Minnie Mo, a great beast. It was very reliable.
There is another saying I flick my daughter when she has got the shits with something that didn't work out well the first attempt. " A master has failed more times than you have tried"
My dad used to tell us kids, nothing ventured nothing gained You have to fall to learn how to get back up again, and God knows i have fallen plenty of times, but Thank God He's Always been there to pick me back up and try it all over again😁😁🙏🙏🙏
My 1953 MM UB gasser had the same trouble. Your fuel line needs to be primed. Loosen your gas cap and maybe crack the line fitting at the carb. It will stay primed until you run it out of gas again
It’s gravity fed. It should fill itself with no issue on that alone. It’s clear he’s got either a blockage in the line or the float needle isn’t working right.
Justin Stearns Mine did this with new fuel line, sediment bowl, and a rebuilt tsx67 carb. There was no blockage. If it ran out of gas, it acted just like a vapor lock, and gas would not flow from the sediment bowl to the carb until I loosened the new gas cap and the fuel line fitting at the carb. Then, gas would flow and fill the carb bowl to the proper level. I tightened the fitting and gas cap, and everything worked properly for months until I ran it out of gas again. Rinse and repeat.
Mister Ed Huh. I’ve never ran into that with my Farmalls or my Oliver. I doubt it’s just an MM thing, but I can’t say I’ve seen that happen, unless the gas cap vent was bad or something.
You sir are a diamond in the rough!! I appreciate all you are doing , and wish you the best in the future. This is good ole fun and instructional as well. You have a GREAT attitude and definitely know what you are doing. Keep up the great work!! New subscriber here and I'm going to tell all my friends to check you out as well!!
Old tractors are temperamental. Helped my father rebuilt a 1939 farmall. The starter was shot so we had to use the handcrank ! Fond memories... please keep making these videos. Best on Utube !!!
Grew up on a farm in Georgia during 80's. Put a many miles/hours on a 1970 John Deere 4020 with duals and cab. We row cropped. Georgia had 3 consecutive summers of drought...difficult time. But, many great memories and life lessons learned. My Grandaddy set me on the right path for life.
This is the first time seeing your videos, and I really dig it man. I love vintage or old machinery, tractors all that. You've got my subscription. Keep up the awesome work
“Get off your butt, get out there, and start spinning wrenches.” That’s great, Derek!! I love getting out in my shop and getting dirty. I introduced that to my boys at a young age, and they both decided to go to tech school. One is an aircraft mechanic and the other is an HVAC tech. We love trades work at our house - guys like us will always have a job!! Thanks for all the great content, totally enjoying your channel!!
Got my Dodge coronet back on the road after 6 years of sitting. Like I said in another video of yours you got me motivated again to spin the wrenches. I have another car that has been sitting since 2010 I need to fire up again. Thanks for the kick in the butt to get them rolling again.
It's exaggeration for comedic relief, like Phillips Milk of Magnesia is relief for the s#&*^, I don't know, it's like, "my headaches so bad, my brother had to take 2 Tylenol and go to bed", darn it's getting worse now isn't it. Sorry........
I really appreciate how he explains things like the antique fuel filter and never seen an updraft carb my grandad had mentioned them once or twice befor he passed in 2015 it's pretty cool to see after all these years
Loved this. My father taught me how to use a clutch on my Grandfather's old Ford tractor out in one of his pastures in Eastern Washington when I was about 10. Have had a soft spot for old tractors ever since.
I really enjoyed "Truth be told I'd rather low crawl through barbed wire in a hail storm." I just know it's the truth because he said "I'd" and not "A guy".
I don't know much about cars or tractors but I love watching people work and them and love your video's you keep me interested and love the sense of humor!
Thats true on the updraft carbeurator. Looking at that with carb missing Id initially mistake that for exhaust until I figured out theres all exhaust and no intake. You were blessed with carb still on but omg that would take a minute to figure out otherwise!
Need more gas in fuel tank. No fuel pump, you need a couple gallons minimum for pressure at the carb not a dribble. Second a guy might be better off not shooting thru the oil bath air filter but right into carb hose. 3rd, moline 4cyl liked half throttle and full choke for 1-2 full cranks then full release off of choke. It's like Hunter hitting the crack pipe.
One thing I love is that through all the laughs I still learn something else every time. I'm planning on going to school to be a diesel mechanic next year. My day will be split between high school and the diesel mechanics school
Rule #1. Never check a diesel compression by sticking a finger over an injector or glow plug hole. You’ll lose at least up to the first knuckle of a phalange. 😳
Spark plugs turn them out turn them back in a little spray plug theads with lubricant then turn plugs in and out till. Its free oh on a cold engine god bless you and your family
Finally got to watch this video. Your words at the end were a great reminder to keep trying! I enjoy all your videos but that really resonates! Thanks for making great content!
i was thinking same thing way he didn't think of this he seem crap in bowl but didn't check the line why he should know crap would ran the line over the years. i bit cheese off he gave up this so easy he need go back check fuel line i bet it fire up my clean the carb again as crap from line draw back in.
I remember driving an MM on my Baba's Farm in the early 1970s. I was about 12 yrs old and got it stuck pretty good along a Slough. I loved the Hand Clutch it had, compared to the Foot Clutch of the McCormick
I’ve started up a couple MM tractors that haven’t ran in 20 years, it’s a super difficult process, first you must have a couple hot batteries, then add fuel. Followed by completing these two important factory’s you must kick the piss out of the starter button because it’s full of rust, and some home with luck and Gypsy’s magic, the rust in the start button with become conductive and it will crank in the first couple spins. These tractors were build incredibly well. My family has owned a MM dealer since 1950!
I just reworked my 51 Ferguson. I did a 12-volt conversion but otherwise had all of the same problems. Rebuilt the carb, cleared a clogged fuel line, replaced a leaky sediment bowl, etc. They sure are sweet once you have them dialed-in and running though 😊
LOL! And I'm guessing many guys did it in the past considering the ignition key was sticking out the side by the carb. File this under why women live longer than men.
25:49, you see that Black and Red thing with the white ceramics, that is a portable camping heater. Works great to keep the inside of cars warm when heat is not working!
Nice to hear that mean ole beast trying to crack off and run again. little more TLC and it’ll make a good ole tractor for somebody. I had my old Ferguson over 50 years and it runs like a champ. It made lots of good memories through out the years. good job Derek 👍
Memories. From cutting hay as a young innocent country boy to knocking on the same neighbors door at three in the morning to use the same tractor to pull my truck out of the creek after an evening of drunken madness. I do still loveMoline tractors. . My neighbor was from MN and had moved to southwest MO with a wall tent a Studebaker truck and a Minneapolis Moline tractor.
My Grandfather bought a new M-604 with front wheel assist a shuttle gear and a high lift loader custom built I think in Gaylodr MI .. My Grandfather sold it to my Father for $5,000.00 a few year later my Father sold it to a Cousin.. They both used it to load lime in farmers fields to spread lime.. My Father sold it to my Cousin for $5,000 too 45 years later my Cousin passed away and I think his wife traded it in at Burnips Farm Implements maybe near Grand Rapids MI .. It's worth around $30,000.00 today .. My Father bought a new Michigan 45B loader in 1974 for $30,000.00 on sale from $36,000.00 do to the recession ..
@@ViceGripGarage My Grandfathers M-604 was so valuable to Collectors because it has front wheel assist.. A Coleman front axle.. Hired Help broke a front axle and My Cousin got an axle out of an old Military Truck .. Maybe it was a Conversion Truck like an IH .. I think MM was bought by White Moror Compnay about 1973 or so ...
My Grandfather had an M602 it ran ok but it always sputtered some especially on cold damp days. Uncle Gary was a mechanic and he couldn't completely get it either. I remember him cutting a rubber glove to cover the distributor cap. Once it really warmed up, it was great.
I had a 1958 Ford work master it was great. Aways started. one time it sat for 6 months and it was -30 degrees jumped up on it and it started right away. They made good stuff back in the day
c racking the fuel line at the carburetor will purge air block in the line, we have had that happen numerous times with M's and H's after carb work. Not enough pressure from the tank to push the air out. And don't forget to check for a fine screen in the fuel line inlet at the carb...those block up with sediment.
Don't give up so easily. Follow the fuel flow from the tank to the carburetor. Rust and scale often blocks fuel from leaving the tank. You can twist the filter out of the bottom of the tank to clear it out. Make sure you have good flow to the carburetor. Adjust the needle on the carburetor. Did you make sure the seat was clear?
a guy wasnt prepared for that little speech there at the end
I know right.
Yeah, that hit me where I live too. Derek's doin' the Lord's Work, one sparkolator at a time.

Second a guy might be better off not shooting thru the oil bath air filter but right into carb hose. 3rd, moline 4cyl liked half throttle and full choke for 1-2 full cranks then full release off of choke. It's like Hunter hitting the crack pipe.
"Auto eject clamps " Love it !!!
Those minnies start every time. I have restored over 20 of them. Unless they are in pieces they will break and run.
Gave the olde Yellow Dog a good kick but, not much barkey.
One thing I love is that through all the laughs I still learn something else every time. I'm planning on going to school to be a diesel mechanic next year. My day will be split between high school and the diesel mechanics school
Rule #1. Never check a diesel compression by sticking a finger over an injector or glow plug hole. You’ll lose at least up to the first knuckle of a phalange. 😳
Wearing a CASE ballcap while working on an old Moline :) Irony at it's finest or is it?

Jamie Morgan yes sir🙏🏽😂
Didn’t know a guy knows his way around the agricultural equipments. She’s factory
He's as handy as a pair of Vice Grips !! 😎
Just Mint, right?
If it's got sparkolators and a whirligig, Derek will get her goin'.

That’s why a feller’s got a service truck

Spark plugs turn them out turn them back in a little spray plug theads with lubricant then turn plugs in and out till. Its free oh on a cold engine god bless you and your family
Finally got to watch this video. Your words at the end were a great reminder to keep trying! I enjoy all your videos but that really resonates! Thanks for making great content!
I'll have my cold snacks ready.
Swap out that steel line between the carb and the sediment bowl? They tend to get crusty....
i was thinking same thing way he didn't think of this he seem crap in bowl but didn't check the line why he should know crap would ran the line over the years. i bit cheese off he gave up this so easy he need go back check fuel line i bet it fire up my clean the carb again as crap from line draw back in.
@@aussiezx3017 And he didn't pull off the pipe I don't think he knows anything about tractors or at least there air filters which is just oil .
I remember driving an MM on my Baba's Farm in the early 1970s. I was about 12 yrs old and got it stuck pretty good along a Slough. I loved the Hand Clutch it had, compared to the Foot Clutch of the McCormick
I’ve started up a couple MM tractors that haven’t ran in 20 years, it’s a super difficult process, first you must have a couple hot batteries, then add fuel. Followed by completing these two important factory’s you must kick the piss out of the starter button because it’s full of rust, and some home with luck and Gypsy’s magic, the rust in the start button with become conductive and it will crank in the first couple spins. These tractors were build incredibly well. My family has owned a MM dealer since 1950!
I just reworked my 51 Ferguson. I did a 12-volt conversion but otherwise had all of the same problems. Rebuilt the carb, cleared a clogged fuel line, replaced a leaky sediment bowl, etc. They sure are sweet once you have them dialed-in and running though 😊
mid episode: "a guy should never stand next to a tractor while starting it"
end of the episode: *funnels 2 stroke into the carb and cranks on it
'e's gonna have a problem trying to start an old sidewinder John Deere then
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 great comment
LOL! And I'm guessing many guys did it in the past considering the ignition key was sticking out the side by the carb. File this under why women live longer than men.
The ending is hilarious and also depressingly true at the same time. I felt like I was watching a hunting show from the 90s or something.
Haha... glad you enjoyed
A feller’s gonna win some, and he’s gonna lose some... main thing is to keep on snippin’ and snaggin’ til a guy gets ‘er done
Love this. It reminds me of my great grandpa's old 1950 Minneapolis-Moline model U tractor.
25:49, you see that Black and Red thing with the white ceramics, that is a portable camping heater.
Works great to keep the inside of cars warm when heat is not working!
Front 40 needs plowin'... let's test on 'er!!
I like his ballast resistor he had hanging around the lightening maker

@@ViceGripGarage Dereck, are you a Vet?
Holy cow that bowl was dirty.. love seeing you tackle different equipment 👍🏼
Glade I found your channel.farmed.all my life have 17 old tractors you are right up my alley.thanks again
Lol I like your red "agco" service truck it is fitting for the tractor you are working on lol
Working the needle, sitting back and playing with the floats haha
oh man cant wait till this drops
Nice to hear that mean ole beast trying to crack off and run again. little more TLC and it’ll make a good ole tractor for somebody. I had my old Ferguson over 50 years and it runs like a champ. It made lots of good memories through out the years. good job Derek 👍
Memories. From cutting hay as a young innocent country boy to knocking on the same neighbors door at three in the morning to use the same tractor to pull my truck out of the creek after an evening of drunken madness. I do still loveMoline tractors. . My neighbor was from MN and had moved to southwest MO with a wall tent a Studebaker truck and a Minneapolis Moline tractor.
"Get off your butt, get out there and start spinning wrenches."
Words to live by.
if you can dump fuel down the hatch like that, it might be a vac leak somewhere on that manifold
Love the MM tractors!!!
My dad and I have two U’s that we pull with. He’s got a LP & I’m burning the old gas.... he’s beats me every time. lol
Yep a fella is starting too go back in old videos! Love it
My Grandfather bought a new M-604 with front wheel assist a shuttle gear and a high lift loader custom built I think in Gaylodr MI .. My Grandfather sold it to my Father for $5,000.00 a few year later my Father sold it to a Cousin.. They both used it to load lime in farmers fields to spread lime.. My Father sold it to my Cousin for $5,000 too 45 years later my Cousin passed away and I think his wife traded it in at Burnips Farm Implements maybe near Grand Rapids MI .. It's worth around $30,000.00 today .. My Father bought a new Michigan 45B loader in 1974 for $30,000.00 on sale from $36,000.00 do to the recession ..
Wow!!
@@ViceGripGarage My Grandfathers M-604 was so valuable to Collectors because it has front wheel assist.. A Coleman front axle.. Hired Help broke a front axle and My Cousin got an axle out of an old Military Truck .. Maybe it was a Conversion Truck like an IH .. I think MM was bought by White Moror Compnay about 1973 or so ...
7:26, I see the beet truck is making its money back already.
Oh yah, shes been in the field for a few months now workin
If I had $1 for every time vice grip said “A guy” I would have enough money to completely Restore one of his cars he bought
A guy could restore a car with all of that product buyer
A guy's gotta power-brake that beast!
My Grandfather had an M602 it ran ok but it always sputtered some especially on cold damp days. Uncle Gary was a mechanic and he couldn't completely get it either. I remember him cutting a rubber glove to cover the distributor cap. Once it really warmed up, it was great.
I had a 1958 Ford work master it was great. Aways started. one time it sat for 6 months and it was -30 degrees jumped up on it and it started right away. They made good stuff back in the day
Desperately waiting for part 2 of this. Love old tractors
Anyone else say "heeyaaaa" everytime when crackin bolts loose or reefin on something like a guy?
i do that on top of the "errrr, click" ave torque wrench sound.
Damn now I need a Cold Snack after watching this!!!
Thanks for watching Ken
c racking the fuel line at the carburetor will purge air block in the line, we have had that happen numerous times with M's and H's after carb work. Not enough pressure from the tank to push the air out. And don't forget to check for a fine screen in the fuel line inlet at the carb...those block up with sediment.
Don't give up so easily. Follow the fuel flow from the tank to the carburetor. Rust and scale often blocks fuel from leaving the tank. You can twist the filter out of the bottom of the tank to clear it out. Make sure you have good flow to the carburetor. Adjust the needle on the carburetor. Did you make sure the seat was clear?
