Why is this channel so great?..... most TH-camrs want to create a channel and figure out how to put out there experience...... Jim however is clearly oozing with knowledge and experience and someone else, ( pole barn garage) shoved him into creating content and sharing said knowledge. Thanks to Dalton, and Jim and Ritchie for pulling it off 👍🏻
I find a lot of these TH-cam garage channels think they’re expert mechanics and film themselves working but in reality they’re learning as they go as you and I would. No hate, in reality the majority of them are 25-35 years old. Jim here walks the talk. I just worry that women will take over the viewership because he’s pushing the Cougar content now plus he’s handsome and handy. 💪
I've been working on drum brakes for 30 years and watched countless videos. I've never seen anyone actually describe how to use a drum brake tool. I never knew how myself. Awesome job Jim.
I was thinking "ho hum, just another brake job video" until you started sharing tips that I had never heard in my 71 years. Great instructional video with really helpful info. Great channel Jim!
Glad you found it helpful and thanks for the kind words! I've decided that I'm going to pick one area on each revival I do and really go in depth on it. This time it was drum brakes. Hopefully folks pick up a trick or two from these parts. I want to pass on what the master technicians took the time to teach me years ago.
Good video. I like the new approach on the tips and tricks on the select items. I think these cars are ones we can afford and just get back to the garage. The flapper disk on the rotors and the brake tool is good information.
Great channel Jim, I really like that you get a vehicle and show us start to finish instead of starting on this one a couple shows and move on to another and never finish any of them. Great content and real learning experience. Keep up the good work
Jim, good schooling on the brake tools. I broke my nose when a pair of vice grips slipped off of a brake spring and hit me square in the face. Had to have surgery years later for breathing issues. Lesson learned, bought the tools. And you are absolutely correct on burnt tranny fluid. It is one of those things that you smell once and you will never mistake it for anything else. Love the video!!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry you had to learn the hard way, OUCH!! Glad you got the right tools. Yeah, that burnt trans fluid smell is something else!
Lol....Adorable Sandy! 🐶😁 Thanks for all the tips and tricks, Jim. It's been awhile since I've taken shop classes, but it's great to get refresher on knowledge. I remember using brake spoons and all that to fix brakes, but the tools nowadays are getting better. Great job on the Cougar! Thanks for sharing! 🔧🔧🔧
Another great episode Jim. So professional too - I really like how you get to the point without missing much . Keep up the good work . All the best, Nick from England .
I can’t quite put it into words but Jim’s channel is definitely different and I mean that in the best way possible it feels way more educational and still entertaining, I almost feel like it’s a training video mixed with some promotional material as well and I freaking love it
Well, I have to feel that all of that is a good thing! LOL! Thank you for the comment and I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the content. Thank you for watching and there is more to come! Happy Holidays to you!
@@the-inevitable-jim happy holidays to you and yours as well and yes I mean it as the best compliment looking forward to more content and getting merch and seeing you and dalton work together again as well
💯 Editing is straightforward, no music, no unnecessary Timelapse, drawn out filler, talking etc. I can’t offer any improvements. In the future more shenanigans but only if they’re not forced
Its awesome sir that you just added new Tennie shoes & brakes to the old cougar. Learned a few things today its awesome having the lift so you can work under the car better. I would've been sanding some that old rust & painting it or adding a bit of under coating but its your toy. Bueno sir I 'll be standing by for the next video on the XR -7 hopefully you'll keep it around for a while. A quick note on the baby blue 77 or 78 cougar they had chrome guards on the rear tail lights you see it in the pic. The 79 (yours) didn't have those chrome guards. I can also say the dash board were a bit different to. Thanks Jim for the info of todays video.
Jim, I really enjoy your enthusiasm and the advice. Thanks for putting these together. Can't wait to see next steps with the Cougar and whatever else you may have in store for us.
I love your channel. It is very enjoyable to follow along with you all as you work on the vehicles that most of our society won't even bat an eye at. There will always be a remnant of fans that LOVE seeing the old land yachts, boats and massive station wagons move again under their own power. It takes us back in time. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for wearing hearing protection while using the air hammer. So many people on TH-cam just ignore eye and ear protection when they have it available and less than 10 feet away
Another awesome video Jim and Ritchie, keep em' coming. I hope the subscribers keep on coming. Look forward to the next one, thanks Jimbo. Also quick tip, use brake lube on the contact points on the backing plates.
It has always been one of those mysteries of life to me why manufacturers never put drain plugs in tranny pans. The only thing I could figure was that they also owned controlling shares in floor dry companies.😂 Loved the video. Keep it up!
I was always taught, you don’t want to service the transmission if the transmission is already giving troubles but if the fluid is just dirty, you can change it.. That XR7 had a strong kick. I think everything will be fine.
We have several shirt ideas in the works. Understand it was a huge undertaking to get these few items up and going in the time frame that they did. Stay tuned. there WILL be more options soon!
Don't forget to pull the Ol Pole Barn Garage special. "Rebuild the drums" spray paint em afterwards 😅 I didn't even realize you guys were neighbors until I seen his video with you in it. Like dang! Ol Jim is on here. Ive Learned alot from your videos bro! Good stuff 👏🏼
Another great video Jim! I didn't expect to see my black 1977 Cougar on the video, but it was quite a thrill. I forgot to tell you that it's 1 of 7 with the options it came with. I'll have to send you pics of my other projects. I have a 1 of 1 1969 Cougar, and a 1984 Chevy C20 crew cab with original 6.2 diesel that I get 19.5 mpg with.
Great video Jim! A tip for getting 12V power almost anywhere is to use a little Milwaukee 12V battery. It shows what’s positive and negative on it. I push a paper clip in each location and clip onto the paper clips.
This is really good info Jim. I've never seen anyone do a more practical demo on how to work with drum brakes and disc brakes than what you offered. Thank you for your demo. Great job.
Man I'm a know enough to get myself into trouble kinda guy. I've done a lil of this a lil of that. With that said I've learned a lot from guys like you and Dalton. Now I'm eyeing up a big project to take on now that watching y'all has boosted my confidence some.
That's awesome! I love that people are getting little tips and such from the content. That is one of the things I hoped to accomplish and pass on to others! We are always learning!
@@RustyZipper Keep doing the rain dance, I'm sure it will help them immensely. You realize of course that the ocean levels were 400ft lower 20 thousand years ago and man didn't melt that ice?
Great video, Jim! I appreciate learning two things today from your video first, but there’s a special socket that fits the top of those shock rods, and second the proper way to use a brake tool for my drum brakes. I’m gonna pick one up and try it next time… Hopefully no more skin knuckles.😊
Love watching those after my 12 hour shifts. Listen to them as a podcast of automotive knowledge while falling asleep My highest compliments to yall ❤ Edit: finally i can support you thru yt membership 🎉
Jim, your vice is like the one that we had,those are called a post vice and used mostly by blacksmiths,Dad mounted the one we had on a truck wheel,he saw one like that when he was looking through Hot Rod years ago,he welded an old valve spring between the lower jaws to make it open and close easily,we used it for many years and if I'dve had room for it I would have kept it.
Glad i found your channel through Dalton and PBG. Your videos are great Mr. Jim! keep them coming! Hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday and happy new year!🙏🏼✌🏼
I’ve seen you on other peoples channels. Glad I subscribed! That flap disc rotor refinish is slick! Just ordered the drum measurement tool too. Thanks!
Really liked the tech tips on the drums! Picked up a set of those pliers. Definitely have pinched fingertips before on those springs trying to use needle-nose or a screwdriver...
Just found your Channel, I watched the first cougar video, loving the content... Loveley car, great to see a car like this get a second chance, Subscribed looking forward to more!
We called them back in the day they were tanks not boat 😅 hahaha 🤣hi and marry Christmas and have a happy new year 🎊🎊🎊see Jim that is what I'm talking about you show us what your doing but then you click back and it's done with what you are doing show it don't take it away thanks
My first car was a 75 maverick, so I’d love to see some coverage on your 74 comet! Do some cool stuff for it. Get Kevin or Dalton to convince you to put QA1 or something on them, just an idea if it’s otherwise in fine shape.
My 74 is in pretty solid shape and other than exhaust is 100% bone stock. I think my preference is to keep it that way. I have other stuff that I'd modify though! LOL!
Nice job Jim up until a few years ago I had a lot of paperwork souvenirs from a special car my parents ordered & bought when I was 10 it was a new 75 LTD Country Squire wagon fully equipped the only way my parents bought their cars this one has the Landau luxury group package Super soft Vynyl almost like leather seats the car had the 400 engine anyway I read the owners manual multiple times I knew that there was a 460 option and also saw in that blue owners manual that a 477 was also an option but it was rare because most buyers upgraded to the 460 which you got when you specked your car with the H.D.trailering package But tell me what you know about the big 477
To my knowledge, the 477 was a Super Duty engine that was produced from I believe the late 50's up until the early 80's and only offered in the heavy duty truck lines. I may be wrong and maybe someone else that knows more may chime in??? On another note, I'd LOVE to have that wagon!!!
Jim thoes break tools would make a great Christmas pressie for Dalton 😂 or anyone else for that matter as you say with the right tools you keep the skin where it belongs lmao

LOL!
Thanks for the video Jim. I like the Cougar.
Thanks for watching!
Good video. I like the new approach on the tips and tricks on the select items. I think these cars are ones we can afford and just get back to the garage. The flapper disk on the rotors and the brake tool is good information.
I agree. These older cars can be a fun and affordable way to get back to the basics of car work!
I'm glad you found it helpful as well!

Good job on the cougar👍✌️
Appreciate the thumbs up!
Jim, on a ford transmission you can drain the torque converter also. Just look under the flywheel cover for a brass plug.
You are correct sir!
My first car was a ‘used 71 Merc Comet with the 200-6 auto no radio. My 2nd car was a ‘72 Cougar the plain model
351C auto.
Mine is a factory 302 V8 car with A/C.....

Thanks, glad you're enjoying the channel! And thanks for noticing the vice, it's a real workhorse and built when quality counted!
Thanks for showing the proper brake tools, makes it much easier and safer. I see them all the time at flea markets I go to.

It has always been one of those mysteries of life to me why manufacturers never put drain plugs in tranny pans. The only thing I could figure was that they also owned controlling shares in floor dry companies.😂
Loved the video. Keep it up!
I agree! I've never understood that either.
Fords of that vintage through the 90s (rwd) had torque converter drains.
@@mcqueenfanman GM did start putting them in the pan on longitudinal tranny’s in the early 2000’s. I’m not sure on the newer models though.

Lookin good!! One tip id throw out to new guys is have a lug on when you're banging on that tire so the wheel doesn't run away from ya 😂

Nice job Jim up until a few years ago I had a lot of paperwork souvenirs from a special car my parents ordered & bought when I was 10 it was a new 75 LTD Country Squire wagon fully equipped the only way my parents bought their cars this one has the Landau luxury group package Super soft Vynyl almost like leather seats the car had the 400 engine anyway I read the owners manual multiple times I knew that there was a 460 option and also saw in that blue owners manual that a 477 was also an option but it was rare because most buyers upgraded to the 460 which you got when you specked your car with the H.D.trailering package But tell me what you know about the big 477
To my knowledge, the 477 was a Super Duty engine that was produced from I believe the late 50's up until the early 80's and only offered in the heavy duty truck lines.
I may be wrong and maybe someone else that knows more may chime in???
On another note, I'd LOVE to have that wagon!!!
Cool thanks Jim
Anytime!
