Where do I begin?! First of all... they just don’t make things like they used to. Second of all big shout out to Cody for filming most of this video. Lastly in search of generator for ‘64 Ford 223. Don’t wanna convert to alternator.

to check why not charging batteries...
a) generator
b) cable
c) regulator.
eventhough generator is easily tested. since you swapped both regulator and generator... the only thing left to deal with is the cable. that is both from the generator to frame and from generator to regulator, including bolts that mounts the cables. (i assume generator is bolt neutral, so need to check the bolts too).
any high resistance between generator and battery = no charging potential.
@@rynait except another functioning 1960’s generator works fine on it. But the new rebuilt one does not. Even tho it tested good. Generator.
ALWAYS a great day when my MORNING starts at the old farm 🚜
I'm 60 and you said a mouthful about current manufacturing. If it wasn't for buying older stuff from eBay, I'd be screwed. That gen is probably remanufactured in China. I'd get a original and have it rebuilt. Did you turn in the old one for a core deposit? If you didn't, have that one rebuilt.
I was curious to know who was filming throughout the video and found out it was Cody when I scrolled down to the comments. Good job you did there, Cody!
Wow! I just love the old Ford. My father that passed In 86’ had a 64’ also. It was blue with white top. My father loved that truck so much. I was 15 and didn’t have any idea how nostalgic I would become about it. I see them now like yours and remember him in his and how he treated that work truck like gold.
He was a finish carpenter and built things like kitchens, wet bars and screening rooms in peoples homes. I grew up in LA. I was laughing earlier thinking about how many driveways of wealthy or famous people that old truck drove into over its 20 years with him. Maybe one day I will get to have one again. Thanks for the great memories around that truck.
You put me in mind if my Dadand Brother They fixed all our vehicles the old ones.I still keep one or two.you could at least fix them your selves.fond memories indeed thank you.❤️❤️❤️😀
Absolutely love you guys ... Especially our sweetheart Cody ...Thanks for taking us on your adventures and seeing the Byrd house come together .... xxxxxxxxx 💙🙏💙🙏
People dissing on your old Ford, but isn't it amazing it is still on the job after almost 60 yrs. A bad generator is just that. Nothing to do with the truck running like a champ!
I have a 1968 Ford Country Sedan wagon...very solid car that I named ***rolling scrap***.
I watch you over and over. You are just so laid back & calm. I just get so relaxed watching you. God bless and keep it going
I adore you. You make me laugh. I love your positive attitude. Thanks and be blessed.
Robert👋🏻 😀✋🏻I enjoy the ride thanks a lot🙏🏻
Hey there. My Dad had a 68 Ford farm truck. I inherited it and when I no long needed it, gave it to my brother where it still makes runs to the dump etc. Its name is Henry😁
You are a very hard working man and your son Cody is learning a lot from you, Cody you are doing awesome job with that video camera .enjoy watching your videos. Thank you May God BLESS you and Cody. 😊
Robert, you always look like you're enjoying yourself! You are so positive, nothing seems to phase you 👍 Keep up the Awesome things you do, be it at The Old Bird Farm or Side Step Adventures, which I absolutely love. Well done Cody the Camera Man 👍👍 xx
Robert you are an amazing kind of fellow. So many talents in so many things.
Wish I could hear the door slam on my Dad's 1970 Ford Ranger. Solid. Hope your wheels are back up to snuff soon.
Great video. Fantastic job Cody. Love from Australia. Stay safe. Love you all. Xx
🤞🤞🤞🤞 👍👍👍👍 think positive you'll make it work !!!
Like your panel truck
The Chevy is awesome. Would be a cool build.
Well looks like luck is flowing your way. Poor guy, wish I could just come and help. I know you're an old soul to try and save the old things and learn the history of the place. Im drawn to old too...been that way all my life.
Same here. That's why we like Robert so much. He understands the value of old things, like we do. Modern life and
"things" are de-humanizing with no soul.
I had 2 old houses back in the day. They were built for railroad higher up people. They were Victorian style. Bit of more than i could chew. Being single i could tear down real well. Getting people to put them back together was a nightmare. Got rid of both of them. I saw so much potential in them. Just wasn't meant for me to do it. Now i live with my daughter. Problem solved. I'm remodeling the garage. Should be done in the spring. I know you can do this Robert. You have a lot of skill and good friends. You've got this. 💗😄🚙
I love watching you work and the best part is knowing I'm not alone when everything I do goes to hell in ma hand basket!
I Love all the advice you are getting. we all seem to care about you and your family. Keep up the good work. I know you nust read some of the advice given you which is thoughtful of you. God bless.
Grandpa always said, " If you want to keep the crazy people out of your backyard, cover your license plate on social media". 😉
The beefy tires worked great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fancy antenna on that panel truck. I don't know how you can see through that windshield in the truck!!!
Bless your heart, you're a hard working man. I have no doubt you'll get the old truck running. Cody did a wonderful job filming.
The beauty of an old truck is you don't have to worry about scratching the paint. lol
ha ha ha good point!
Thank you for the update on the Byrd project and old farm truck ! Sorry that you haven't gotten it fixed yet ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here .
I loved when you drove us down the farm rd with you. I could really get a clear view of the rd.
Robert, for quite a many years now I've said that vehicles and computers have their own mind!!! Also nowa days it's hard to get a product that works right and if it does it won't last long!!! I hope you can find what you need to get the truck running right!!!
May 2021 be a great year for you!!!
Take care, stay safe and God bless you!!!
Thank you camera man, Cody!!!
One wire alternator conversion....just like a Beetle Dude. Simple. Cheap. Same goes for the Comet.
Good job.
that chevy panel brings back some wonderful memories,send it my way please. lol
Uff da, one step forward, two steps back.---Shout out to Cody for the great camera work!
Uff da----Yah.
We always used rebuilt starters and alternators, but you do get the occasional bad one...one memorable time we got 2 bad rebuilt alternators and 2 bad rebuilt starters in a row! My husband was throwing things, which he never did, and all came from real good auto parts store...
Robert, there are worse things in life than a truck needing some TLC. Keep at it Robert and look on the bright side.
I was having a blast even tho it didn’t get fixed lol
Back in the day when we still worked on our old cars...Husband, "something with the generator, starter, hmm maybe a relay?" Me, "this ain't gonna be good." Those are "scratch your head & test your patience" days.
I like the easy going nature of this channel. That’s why I like living in the South.
Another great video. Man Cody really nailed the camera work.WELL DONE CODY!! Gotta love the old Fords.... so cold nature when you try to fire them up. Can't wait to see more.Thanks for taking us along. God Bless you all.
The old farm truck and the old Byrd house are in about the same shape at the moment.
You have to flash the field on the generator to get it to work. With the truck running hook a jumper wire to the battery terminal on the regulator and momentarily touch it to the field terminal. The generator will start charging.
That Ford farm truck reminds me when I had my first son in 1975 when the snow was on the ground it got stuck in the snow as we head to the hospital to have my son. That was 46 years ago.
Sorry Robert ! You are so positive!
I love that old truck, bashed up, dirty, but she's still working, giving it all she's got. Perfect farm truck. You need an army of people to clear up all that wisteria, yikes.
Bravo Robert. You are a Jack of all trades. I admire your ability to do so much on your own. Your so smart. Always look forward to your videos. Great job Cody. You didn't miss a second
oh man that is one handsome vehicle!!!
my old 64 did that one time look at the wiering under the battery box !.
Its always frustrating when you do the right thing to get something working (specially a car) and you're let down by a faulty part and worse still when the shop doesn't recognise the fault. Takes up too much valuable time
Sorry for your bad luck lately...just means there is twice as much Good luck coming your way soon
Damn. Wish you had access to a backhoe or ditch digger. I guess I am assuming there is a slope to the property somewhere to dig towards. Either an easy solution or a herculean task. A flowing drain of some sort .. either ditches dug below grade of your road, or a sloping drain away from. Once water is given a path .. a nice crowned road would be golden. Wow is it ever so easy for me to spend your money. Haha.
I've never, ever seen anyone have such great fun fiddling with junk. Nothing wrong with that as long as your other chores get done.
Some days are just better than others. Don't worry, tomorrow will be better. 👍
This was still a great day.
Cody.. Good job filming👍
Hey Robert, I really enjoy watching your video's. I see you have a terrible problem with everything being so wet. I thought of an idea. Dig yourself a retention pond. Put yourself an add up free dirt. That way you get your retention pond for free. I love old vehicle myself. I had my Dad's old 76 Chevrolet. It was a good truck never used oil never smoked. I hope your still doing the video's would like to see more. Especially of the house and all the work you have done. Keep up the good work.
I understand your frustration
I replaced two reconditioned fuel pumps one time, both went out almost immediately, finally found one that was absolutely brand new, worked for years.
My dad used to take me for a ride in the "new" vehicles he got. I've rode in many like your farm truck. Scary stuff!
Cody you did a beautiful job here. Miss the another Robert! And you are a wonderful person. Who loves old things. God bless you all.
LOL unsafe Nate.that’s a good name.
And Charlie paddle tale. The panel truck.
Unsafe Nate! I love it
Some days.huh? Went out yesterday to get some things done...nothing ran smoothly...had to back up...taking another run at it today. Wish me luck. It's all in how cheerfully you roll,isn't it? I smiled all the way with you. I can remember getting in an old truck with my Daddy, many long years ago and driving down the old creek bed on my grandpa's farm...it was so much fun. Sweet memories.
I refuse to insult your intelligence with advice. It looks like you're on the right track and I'd be taking the same actions. Bad new parts are super frustrating. Makes you question yourself. I "feel" that!
You are the most patient person I have ever seen. Good luck on the generator. I am hooked on there videos.
When you have something old, parts are hard to find or can't find anymore. Stuff made today don't last long. So we have to keep buying and buying or replace when it's possible. I have a deep freezer that belonged to my late grandpa. Had it since 1995. Was "old" then. It's still running today. That tells the story how good things were made back then.
I kept my mom's 1982 Montgomery Wards 19 cubic inch energy saver fridge and it's still going strong.
Cindy here, doesn't matter what you are doing I just really enjoy your videos. You're a good young man. I would like to know if Cody is your son or step son. That doesn't matter either but he will have so many wonderful memories with everything y'all do together.
Cody is Robert's stepson
Awesome relationship. Blood doesn't make a family, love does
This seemed to be one of those days where you take 2 steps forward and 1 step back. I'm glad you got it back up to the house. 💜
Thanks. Non running vehicles will make u crazy. 🤯 Have a great productive day.
If the generator tested good make sure the ground wire connected. If there is not one remove some of that paint off the generator they are using chassi as the ground.
Dang, the Problem is found right on the front of the truck!!
Fix Or Repair Daily!
Found on The Road Dead!
My gravel road is muddy, too.
Son took out a huge pine lightning struck,
messed up my road.
LOLRobert! My late husband was a gear head too! I can tell you're having fun with the old truck! Carry on!
If you put small tree limbs in the road for a base then rock or stones on top works good we did it on the farm in low places.
Played your vlog twice just to hear the music, took me away to a better place, sorry about your generator, but cant help there, thats a man thing lol x
It’s great to see a young guy doing his own auto repairs. (Or at least attempting to). I love the multiple colors on the panel truck!
Hope you have a better day!
It was still a great day! Bad generator or not!
Wow ! Old faithful, made it.
Gotta find yourself an old 4x4 of some kind if you are gonna own farm acreage with muddy roads!
As a driver of a 2 wheel drive pickup I've learned to keep out of the ruts stay on the high spots of a rutted road and if possible keep enough momentum going!👍😃
Some of the older Voltage regulators are earthed through the base of the reg and some have a separate earth wire. Check the wiring.
I agree with the comment below from Pumpup Jam. Maybe sand also? Stay safe and healthy...
Check your wiring, I bet you have a short somewhere. Better still, switch to a one wire GM alternator along with checking your wiring. She'll charge a lot faster with an alternator which is good when you aren't going far and not running long. We gravelled all our old farm roads when I was a kid, but we had a creek on the back edge of the property that had plenty of free creek gravel in it, and more every time there was a hard rain, lol.
Good camera work, Cody. I notice you're paying attention to not crossing the axis. 👍👍
My goodness you have one ton of work to do.
your truck IS Mater. we should have scratch n sniff youtube.
Good deal. God bless 💖
You need to check the wiring leading up to the generator. I'm thinking it's a dry rot in wiring thats shorting out.
Well Done Everyone 💪💪
To round out your old farm trucks collection you oughta find a cool old late 40s Dodge Power Wagon or a old Jeep pickup. Those would handle the muddy Byrd farm roads.
Been there, done that! I have a Ford F-100 with a 12 volt generator system. I'm sure you
have "motored" that generator. Take the cover off that regulator and figure out which of
the three relays under there makes the "Batt" light go out. Be ready to pull that relay back
up or you will let the smoke out of the generator.
I like 'Ralph Nader!'
then you have a good story to tell.
Hope 'Farm Truck' gets better.
Totally Psychedelic
Grandpa would have called that truck" Old Unreliable".
It’s been super reliable... always starts the generator issue tho....
Good morning robert and everyone.30s here and fiurries.got my hot cocoa.
Good morning
Great job Cody! Robert, I hope you get your pickup fixed, real soon, go some where else for car parts.
Look into renting a guy with a forestry mulcher to mulch up those wisteria roots. TH-cam some guys using their mulcher. I think its what yout going to need. Just an idea.
did not know you could still find parts that old. I guess all those back road drives have paid off driving in the clay and then all that mud on the farm....lol
What about renting a chipper and shredding all those old limbs and vines and then packing the chips onto your roadways. Would that help keep the mud under control?
The different colours on the van looked fab in those last shots. They must be fun to drive though especially unsafe at any speed ... the steering wheel is huge!
The ole panel truck isn’t the one that’s unsafe at any speed that’s the ole truck lol
So the panel truck has the pretty colours and the other truck is the giant steering wheel unsafe at any speed truck 👌🙈 I knew that ... cough. They are both excellent anyways. And there's the tractor too ... whatever next ... a work horse?! Maybe a bit early for that though ☺
@@smurph4959 Older vehicles all had large steering wheels. That's how they were made. Took strong arms and strong will to turn them because they didn't have power steering. I drove my father's 64 Chevy stepside and bitched a lot. He finally put power steering in it just to shut me up. After awhile the power steering broke and I was back to bitching. If it didn't have a large wheel, I'd not been able to steer it at all. My niece has it now. She doesn't care about power steering or not. She's 6'2" and built like an ox.
Connie you are so funny. That power steering must have been a joy when it lasted. I can't even imagine not having it, you get so used to it. Well you got an arm work out that's for sure ... turning tight corners must have been fun 😀
Like your cb antenna on your panel truck there Robert.
Make a bracket mod and install a one wire alternator and be done with it...
I am surprised you did not go via the tractor with tools in a box along. But you do have those mud tires on the panel truck.
WOW Robert---More rain is coming this week !! Can you swap the generator for another one?? also check some of the junk yards that let you pick the parts you want. Happy New Year !!
Use to have adapter take spark plug put adapter in plug connect other end to tire stem start engine and pump tire up with compessed air lol from engine .
It worked very good especially when remote locations
I’ve seen those!
just name the truck, Ralph.. unsafe at any speed is too long.. If you don't have a nae for the Farm truck, nae it Byrdie, after the Old Byrd Farm...I have a 2003 caddie that I named Bessie:-) She is a deep dark blue and precious to me:-)... on the road out there that turns to a muddy mess every time it rains out there, you need gravel, but a Garden like Faberic on the " Road" first and then the gravel over it, as it not just keep having the gravel sink in the mud, and being of no use at all.
