I don’t usually comment but Mook had me laughing on this one with her diary check ins. Sign language comment, and the shoop inquiry 🤣 I love this episode in particular because we got to see the fix, learned about the combine change over, harvesting, and elevator visit! It was a true full circle and a change from the usual. Great job as always but liked this one extra ❤
Farmers feed the world. They almost NEVER work alone, and they combine efforts and come together in co-operatives to secure their farms. They usually learn to do EVERTHTHING themselves and that's not just to be self-sufficient, but because everything costs a lot of money in farming. Respect for the farmers.
@@jackorwick That shows me he is a busy man that doesnt need a fancy new shirt to work in dusty dirty conditions. That shirt has seen and done things most men couldnt understand!
Farmers - Are people who understand what it means to never quit, and when the world seems to knock you off of your feet. You get back up again. Thank you, to you all who keep getting back up again.
Seeing digs tackle any and every brake system , and also diagnosing and solving all vehicle problems , while mook continues to keep us going with her comical genius is just great 😂
Kevin, give your combine operator some Junkyard Digs T- shirts cuz the one he had on looked like it was from the 70's and holier than the Vatican City. Or moth food
As a guy that grew up around cars in the South and understands a lot of mechanical principles, I am always still learning from your videos. Whether it’s about how a carburetor works, a distributor, secondary air injection. Whatever. I get enjoyment and education out of your videos even at 41 years of age. You and Mook keep it up!
I cannot explain to you how much I enjoy this series of shenanigans. In fact, ever since you introduced me to Cole the Cornstar, I've been watching every video I can. Its just the most wholesome activity. God bless you all!
Seeing your bean field harvested totally made me think of John Mellencamp's "Rain on the Scarecrow" I Paused this video, searched it, watched it and shed a tear for all the farmers across our great country. Thanks Kevin and Mook for keeping our old School machines and way of life alive. Nice to see that old truck still doing what it was meant to do. Thanks for the lesson on the Holly Governed Carburetor! Congrats on a great harvest!
Kevin, It's great to see your planting and harvest videos. Reminds us all of where our food comes from. And it shows how hard the farmers work. I liked your comment about your cousins corn telling us that's where our cornflakes come from. Peace!
Mook you are such a Mook and we all love you for it. You make the channel what it is. That farmer was nice to loan you the truck. That is what farmers do they help each other especially during harvest. I wouldn't have let him pay for the parts you used either. Can't believe those beans. No wonder you are in such a hurry. That 1660 will eat them for lunch. They are good combines.The whine of that ol Ford sure brings back memories. I have hauled an ocean of beans corn and wheat in those old straight job trucks. C60 Chevy ten wheeler and F600 Fords. 57 BPA is really good beans. Too bad you didn't have a couple thousand acres....
Happy to see you guys working on a medium duty! I currently own 3 F600s and 1 F700 and man are they different. Oversized, underpowered, and the brakes are more a suggestion than a function. Hey Kevin, if you want an F600 grain truck for the future I'll sell ya one ;)
Underpowered is an easy fix, though, since they use FE based engines. Any FE will likely bolt right in, hotrod parts will likely bolt right on, and hell you could probably even get a 6.9 or 7.3 IDI diesel to just slide right into one if desired.- I would throw some gofast parts at the engine already in it, though.
@@magicstew45 Ain't nobody trying to make a living off working these ancient trucks every single day lol. Once in a blue moon like we see here is about the heaviest they'll see; other than that they're either yard art or parade floats.
@@TestECull You can use SOME FE parts on these but not many. An FT's red line is lower than an FE's as the FT engines were built for low end torque. Also an FE wouldn't hold up to being worked hard like the FT would.
I've worked on red combines for 10 years with a guy that's done it pretty much his whole life. Never seen anyone adjust the vanes between corn and beans. We just put them in the middle position and leave alone. Pretty nice looking combine and good explanations of how it works.
All these years I thought beans came from the grocery store. You learn something new every day. Great job everyone. Very cool seeing neighbors working together and helping each other out. Thanks for bringing us along!
That is a FT motor not a FE. They added the one cubic inch to the displacement to differentiate the FT motors, there was also a 361. Some key differences are a port in the block for oil drain back from a air compressor for air brakes, and the exhaust crossover is in a different spot in the heads so you cant use FE intake manifolds. They typically had smaller valves and ports to increase low rpm velocity for improved low end torque. I's sure there are other things but that is what I can remember.
FT signifies "Ford Truck" and yes, there are differences between the engines though the exterior block dimensions are essentially the same. The FT engines were specifically built for low RPMs while operating with higher torque output and were never meant for speed. They were purpose built for heavy work and they were built to last which is why you'll find them in trucks over a rating of 1 ton along with buses or purpose built chassis which were sent to various coachworks for custom built vehicle platforms. The FT displacements were 330, 359 (supposedly), 361, 389 & 391 though you're most likely to find a 361 or a 391. So, can you use the FT parts with an FE engine? Yes and no. Some parts can be used without mods but others require machining. A few parts cannot be used at all. So, about those blocks. The blocks were supposedly cast using a higher quality iron and with wider internal journal webbing which makes many of them more desirable - though you should note that not all of the FT blocks were the same with what you could do with them - not all blocks could be safely bored out to be a 428 for example. Some of them had side bosses cast into the blocks making it easy to convert them into 4 bolt main blocks with the cross-bolt style. They also had steel versus iron crankshafts. The reality is that there are a slew of differences between the FE & FT engines when you look at ALL the parts that make up the complete engines so be warned. Be sure you know what you're getting if you scrounge for parts and know that many of the factory parts are inferior to aftermarket parts or even regular FE parts. The heads or exhaust manifolds would be a prime example. If you're serious about knowing the ins & outs of the FE/FT engines then the smart play would be to spend a lot of time on the WWW reading up on them or grab a few books covering them. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum
I'm from northern Serbia which is a part of the great Panonian(Hungarian) plain and it's really similar to this scenery. Also really rich in agriculture. God bless these hard working people that put food on our tables.
Not only is your channel entertaining but I often take screen grabs and use them for wallpaper as the scenery and lighting are so beautiful, the 60's and 70's vehicles also just take it to another level of retro gorgeousness - keep at it! :D
I really hope he enjoys that the truck works a million times better now and gave you guys a couple 6 packs regardless. Keep it up with this series, you've got a really good thing going and everyone seems to love it.
The 391 The casting number on the side of the 105 block is shared with the 391 though. The reinforced main webbing is also shared along with the higher nickel content in the block material. Cylinder walls are usually thicker than the regular FE blocks but not always. The FE is considerably larger than the 302 or 351 The 391 with the original heads is almost impossible to get any type of performance out of them. They were cast with small ports and used small valves to promote high air velocity for efficiency and low end torque. Look for a "352" or a mirror "105" on the drivers side front of the block just below the head gasket area. Also look on the passenger side of the block for a casting number like D4TE-1 or something remotely similar. The spark plug arrangement on the FE looks like this: HEADSIDE \ \ / / BTW the valve cover covers both the head and a small part of the intake on the FE/FT 235 horse at 3800 rpm, and a bit shy on torque compared to the 390 but it's made at a lower rpm. I would say if it looks like a 302 or maybe 351 it is a bored and stroked 351 windsor block. The FE is unlike the rest not to be confused for them. The only one really close is the ford Y-Block. The popular ford V-8 engine before the FE. And it is really only the same in design not nessicarily apperance. Hope the information helps Kevin 2:30 @Junkyard Digs
I am sure I’m with the majority here, I really enjoy the farmer videos! I look forward to next year’s efforts! We had a F700 setup for hauling hay and straw, grandpa only needed a screwdriver, a pair of pliers and his jackknife to keep it running. The view in the cab brought back so many memories. Ours had the 2 speed rear axel.
I’m very happy. My favorite truck is back on the road because the transmission went bad and I just successfully replaced it after half a year looking for the right transmission
I really enjoyed last year's farm videos and wish there was more of this content from you guys. I know it's a car channel, but these videos are a fun change of pace and let's face it... you could be making ditch digging videos and they would be entertaining. Thanks for the great content!
I am so happy I stopped to see your harvested. I was a little kid when Mom and Dad moved us from Dayton to the township. The hog farmer did the same thing you did. I am 70 and just now having the process explained. Thanks.
I haul grain for a living. Usually organic Oats, in a superb ranging between 135,000 - 140,000 lbs. Take offs are s-l-o-w!😂 Ya'll made out pretty good on your crop. Glad ya got it in before the rains!
217.33 bushels x 10.28 DPB (Dollars Per Bushel)(current august price)= $2234.15. Not a bad haul... I miss harvesting corn and beans and driving them to the elevator...
I grew up driving a '72 "2" ton with a 391 on my family's farm. It was used to mostly haul water tanks for spraying tobacco and cotton. Man I love that old bird.
A buddy had an ancient (mid 60's?) hot rod Dodge grain truck as heavy as you could get on two axles. The beast had a very torque tuned 426 hemi. Not much good at the race track even empty but it did haul a pretty good pile of wheat reasonably well. Not diesel fast but not much slower either.
41:00 his knowledge is amazing. Go ahead and and TRY to guess how to adjust all those things. His knowledge is encyclopedic. That’s a lifetime of experience!! 👍🏻🇺🇸❤️that’s what our Farmers do EVERYDAY. LET THAT SINK IN.
I tapped on this notification so fast. Its always a great day when Junkyard Digs uploads a video. Time to take dem beans off😂. Honestly that truck seems pretty good for its age. I mean it's a Ford of course its fine😂
What I really love about this channel, is his lady friend is talented with the wrenches too. There's not a lot of things like seeing a couple wrench on an old piece of shit together. Junkyard Mook 2024!
I have these style flaring tools and they are AMAZING. They are extremely useful, as you said, for redoing brake lines in tight place. Been using them for years with zero issues. Keep up with the amazing content, enjoy this series very much😊
Nice resurrection on the old dump truck! After seeing the adjustment and setup on that combine, I realized that I don't know beans about farming! Thank goodness for our dedicated and talented farmers!
Passed through IOWA recently. Went from Portland Oregon to Virginia in my 1993 toyota pickup. Actually gonna be doing the clutch fluid today. The clutch fluid is currently mud but still works lol. I had almost no problems other than the fact that both lower control arms are damaged and the truck is lowered so the shocks would punch through the control arms and scrape against the ground but ya know not much I could do about that other than replace the damaged shocks and attempt to hold it together to finish the trip. That little toyota is beat to hell but runs like a beast. Love my little truck. Im gonna restor this poor little truck.
Well, THAT was a fun video! Always good to see Mook "helping" too! I'm a farm boy, but wow I never knew a combine was so complicated! I have a hard enough time with machines that just go and stop! Anyway, fun vid brother! Always love your work! A+++++
That's a man that knows how to dial in his 1660. We just went from a 1460 to a 2166. It's amazing how the internals of these machines have stayed relatively unchanged for 40 plus years.
Yeah, the new machines are all about sophisticated GPS and auto tracking systems for the best yield. They haven't changed much mechanically inside. Although they have gotten way more efficient over the years for sure. These days anyone can hold the wheel. Getting them dialed in is an artform though. I got to ride around in a Case IH 6150 a few weeks ago. It was a blast.
It was great seeing you guys harvest your beans. It's nice to see that you brought the grain truck back in much better condition than when you borrowed it. Keep up the good work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲
I like the combine. We have the same one, but ours is a 94. Great machines. We also have an 86 IH 1640. The motor blew up 4 or 5 years ago in that one. We couldn't find another motor at the time, so we bought the 1660. As soon as we bought the 1660, we found a motor for the 1640. It came out of a tractor, so we need to change a bunch of stuff over to make it compatible with the combine. Then my wife's cousin sold me another motor that actually came out of an older 1660. They're pretty cool machines and fairly easy to work on. Great job on the videos and great job on the beans. They were better than mine are.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the abandoned farming episode. Next year, how about some less-commoditized crops? I could go for a bushel of heirloom beans, myself. Maybe confection sunflowers?
The memories you brought back with that old grain truck! That was very nice of you to replenish his brakes and adjust his carburetor! Love your videos and hope you succeed with TH-cam!
217 bushels is quite a nice harvest for a smaller farm! Good little end of the year pay check and awesome content! Excited to see what you grow next season
@@mikehemen9708 Im having such good luck with garlic and have a few acres of spare land may invest in starting a organic garlic farm and sell locally to anyone who wants organic heirloom garlic. It is definitely profitable and has been on my mind for a few years.
Kevin and Mook in bibbers, Love it! Great barn find grain truck yet again!! Wooohooo! Like that carb dip but thinking need to have a 5 gallon bucket along to use it in for size parameters of bigger carbs. Then just dump it back in can or use a sealed lid on the bigger bucket so as to have for next project.
Great work on the Furd 👌, Adventures made from scratch always have plenty of grain trucks , get one before he cuts the nose off , thanks for sharing farmer digs 👍💨💨
I don’t know if this truck has one, I’m just guessing because that’s how ours is, but if there’s a red button on the shifter, That’s for a high and low axle gear. If you pull it out, it’ll shift to the higher gear-ratio, and you’ll be able to go about 55. You just have to make sure you have the clutch pushed in when you switch it, because if you don’t, it will jam the crap out of the gears
Kevin, Mook, you guys just solved a mystery that I had for years!! All the F-series trucks made in South-Africa had that same instrument panel in them, but in righthand drive form. Now I know where it came from!! We owned a 79 F100 with a 300cid motor for several years. Thank you!!!
Mook surely brings a lot of life to the video...Absolutely loved the sarcasm in the beginning on the movie magic pull up...lmao. Great video as always Kevin, thanks for sharing.
There are scarcely more important members of the human race than farmers. They work their literal ass's off to feed the world. This episode is gold, between Mook's humor and your cousins mastery of his equipment and process. Love the farming content Kev
also, even for a small farm like this that is a ton of labor and equipment expense for Im guessing about $3000 at harvest. It is truly amazing how tight budgets have to be on farms. Considering almost every implement you see being used costs more than a luxury home and requires regular costly maintenance. Im really fascinated by the whole enterprise
Thanks for watching!! Check out our merch at www.junkyarddigs.com/
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it but that carburetor has a governor control on it that's why the secondaries are probably not opening
Hello from Germany 🛣️🛤️🛫🌊 i Love it Video Clips Classic Cars and Trucks Pick ups thx for Clips ❤️🐄🦬🐃🐂 hiha i am Farmer 👍

25:52 Kevin to Mook: why are you like this?
42:20 Farmer to Kevin: why are you like this?
Kevin is the carb Dr. Always intriguing when he is working on carbs.
I agree! I wish he would record every rebuild so I could watch.
I'm from northern Serbia which is a part of the great Panonian(Hungarian) plain and it's really similar to this scenery. Also really rich in agriculture. God bless these hard working people that put food on our tables.
That farmer was some operater wow he really knows that machine
He's the best
391 is forged crank, low compression, smallish ports and valves and governed carb. Built to be low rpm torque engine for farm.
I love these planting and harvest episodes. It's cool to learn a little bit about how our food is made.
Farming is VERY hard work not to mention the equipment and vehicle knowledge needed..great job

My gosh...changing the combine from corn to beans sure isn't a "turn the switch" kind of thing! Glad we still have farmers! 👍👍
The beans have made their way to the elevator safe and sound thanks to Kevin and Mook, Great job fixing abandoned equipment and farming with it!
This series has been awesome. You guys could get that old iron into the hands of some FFA kids and show them how long four rows at a time takes

Very neet how the combine works and how you change it from corn the beans 37:28 @Junkyard Digs
I love the farming videos. Such a great idea to revive old farm equipment and put it to use
I haul grain for a living. Usually organic Oats, in a superb ranging between 135,000 - 140,000 lbs. Take offs are s-l-o-w!😂
Ya'll made out pretty good on your crop. Glad ya got it in before the rains!
Happy to see Mook back. Great video
217.33 bushels x 10.28 DPB (Dollars Per Bushel)(current august price)= $2234.15. Not a bad haul... I miss harvesting corn and beans and driving them to the elevator...
I grew up driving a '72 "2" ton with a 391 on my family's farm. It was used to mostly haul water tanks for spraying tobacco and cotton. Man I love that old bird.
A buddy had an ancient (mid 60's?) hot rod Dodge grain truck as heavy as you could get on two axles. The beast had a very torque tuned 426 hemi. Not much good at the race track even empty but it did haul a pretty good pile of wheat reasonably well. Not diesel fast but not much slower either.
41:00 his knowledge is amazing. Go ahead and and TRY to guess how to adjust all those things. His knowledge is encyclopedic. That’s a lifetime of experience!! 👍🏻🇺🇸❤️that’s what our Farmers do EVERYDAY. LET THAT SINK IN.
I have a lot of respect for farmers. I like how you help each other out with repairs for equipment loan. Mook is hilarious as well.
I tapped on this notification so fast. Its always a great day when Junkyard Digs uploads a video. Time to take dem beans off😂. Honestly that truck seems pretty good for its age. I mean it's a Ford of course its fine😂
What I really love about this channel, is his lady friend is talented with the wrenches too. There's not a lot of things like seeing a couple wrench on an old piece of shit together. Junkyard Mook 2024!
I have these style flaring tools and they are AMAZING. They are extremely useful, as you said, for redoing brake lines in tight place. Been using them for years with zero issues. Keep up with the amazing content, enjoy this series very much😊
Nice resurrection on the old dump truck! After seeing the adjustment and setup on that combine, I realized that I don't know beans about farming! Thank goodness for our dedicated and talented farmers!
What a better way than to fix a old 750 to get the beans out
Classic JYD keep up the great work guys and happy harvest 😁
What a Gorgeous old Ford F750 Kevin thanks for the entertainment Sir 0:30 @Junkyard Digs
Man I’m definitely digging the farm series. Cobbling junk together to get the job done. Keep it coming you guys!
Passed through IOWA recently. Went from Portland Oregon to Virginia in my 1993 toyota pickup. Actually gonna be doing the clutch fluid today. The clutch fluid is currently mud but still works lol. I had almost no problems other than the fact that both lower control arms are damaged and the truck is lowered so the shocks would punch through the control arms and scrape against the ground but ya know not much I could do about that other than replace the damaged shocks and attempt to hold it together to finish the trip. That little toyota is beat to hell but runs like a beast. Love my little truck. Im gonna restor this poor little truck.
Well, THAT was a fun video! Always good to see Mook "helping" too! I'm a farm boy, but wow I never knew a combine was so complicated! I have a hard enough time with machines that just go and stop! Anyway, fun vid brother! Always love your work! A+++++
They are ridiculous! We should get you off here sometime for some farming stuff!
Take a look at Cole the Cornstar. He and Kevin did a collaboration a couple of years back.
That would be a kick!!! @@JunkyardDigs
She runs so much smoother since the carb rebuild Very nice old girl sounds happy now Kevin 13:22 @Junkyard Digs
That's a man that knows how to dial in his 1660. We just went from a 1460 to a 2166. It's amazing how the internals of these machines have stayed relatively unchanged for 40 plus years.
Yeah, the new machines are all about sophisticated GPS and auto tracking systems for the best yield. They haven't changed much mechanically inside. Although they have gotten way more efficient over the years for sure. These days anyone can hold the wheel. Getting them dialed in is an artform though. I got to ride around in a Case IH 6150 a few weeks ago. It was a blast.
It was great seeing you guys harvest your beans. It's nice to see that you brought the grain truck back in much better condition than when you borrowed it. Keep up the good work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲
What a good looking old truck. You got it running great.
I like the combine. We have the same one, but ours is a 94. Great machines. We also have an 86 IH 1640. The motor blew up 4 or 5 years ago in that one. We couldn't find another motor at the time, so we bought the 1660. As soon as we bought the 1660, we found a motor for the 1640. It came out of a tractor, so we need to change a bunch of stuff over to make it compatible with the combine. Then my wife's cousin sold me another motor that actually came out of an older 1660. They're pretty cool machines and fairly easy to work on. Great job on the videos and great job on the beans. They were better than mine are.
Love the farm yard digs can’t wait for next season!
I've thoroughly enjoyed the abandoned farming episode. Next year, how about some less-commoditized crops? I could go for a bushel of heirloom beans, myself. Maybe confection sunflowers?
Gotta grow what you can sell though.
@@brandonha that's what merch is for. I'd gladly buy a bag of "Mook's Magic Beans."
I love the two tone on this one! And how are you enjoying the weather Kevin?
Seeing an CIH 1660 again is a breath of fresh air. Very few of them left running in my neck of the woods. My dad ran one for quite a while.
I was worried the rain was coming for a while now, Glad to see you got the beans in time.
My input I love when you Involve the old timers love the vibe helping out. " little guy"
Really fun video, lots of variety. And a nice ~$2800 haul there
The memories you brought back with that old grain truck! That was very nice of you to replenish his brakes and adjust his carburetor! Love your videos and hope you succeed with TH-cam!
I like watching your harvest shows they're pretty cool and I like it when you plant your fans get a break from you working on cars it's cool 👍👍👍
Wow at how high the beans got 34:14 @Junkyard Digs
I really enjoyed this episode 👍. Working on vintage farm equipment and getting the harvest in....NICE!
I worked for CaseIH in '92. Their combines were the best, and I'm glad to see your cousin's is still going strong.
What a great old truck. Glad you guys got her up and functioning once again!
Great Job guy's on getting the grain truck up and running good. It's good to have friends to help each other..
217 bushels is quite a nice harvest for a smaller farm! Good little end of the year pay check and awesome content! Excited to see what you grow next season
At $12.88 per bushel (current average in Nebraska), the profit margin is pretty narrow for farmers. They have to know what they're doing for sure!
@@mikehemen9708 definitely, especially if that’s your only income!
@@mikehemen9708 Im having such good luck with garlic and have a few acres of spare land may invest in starting a organic garlic farm and sell locally to anyone who wants organic heirloom garlic. It is definitely profitable and has been on my mind for a few years.
Kevin and Mook in bibbers, Love it! Great barn find grain truck yet again!! Wooohooo!
Like that carb dip but thinking need to have a 5 gallon bucket along to use it in for size parameters of bigger carbs. Then just dump it back in can or use a sealed lid on the bigger bucket so as to have for next project.
i love these farm video's man keep it up
Great work on the Furd 👌, Adventures made from scratch always have plenty of grain trucks , get one before he cuts the nose off , thanks for sharing farmer digs 👍💨💨
Finally another amazing video by junkyard digs!
31:14 what a beauty. love this thing! fantastic survivior
That dash with lights on looks very cool
I don’t know if this truck has one, I’m just guessing because that’s how ours is, but if there’s a red button on the shifter, That’s for a high and low axle gear. If you pull it out, it’ll shift to the higher gear-ratio, and you’ll be able to go about 55. You just have to make sure you have the clutch pushed in when you switch it, because if you don’t, it will jam the crap out of the gears
Kevin, Mook, you guys just solved a mystery that I had for years!! All the F-series trucks made in South-Africa had that same instrument panel in them, but in righthand drive form. Now I know where it came from!! We owned a 79 F100 with a 300cid motor for several years. Thank you!!!
I still drive a Ford, but it is 2018 Ranger, single cab with 2.2 l turbodiesel and a six-speed manual gearbox. Grew up in Fords, too many to mention.
I think it's from a bump side Ford! The prior generation
zzz
Thanks Kevin. It must have been to save on production costs. If it works, why change it.
Mook’s excitement @19:55 while Kevin spanks dat break pedal Lol
Mook surely brings a lot of life to the video...Absolutely loved the sarcasm in the beginning on the movie magic pull up...lmao. Great video as always Kevin, thanks for sharing.
There are scarcely more important members of the human race than farmers. They work their literal ass's off to feed the world. This episode is gold, between Mook's humor and your cousins mastery of his equipment and process. Love the farming content Kev
also, even for a small farm like this that is a ton of labor and equipment expense for Im guessing about $3000 at harvest. It is truly amazing how tight budgets have to be on farms. Considering almost every implement you see being used costs more than a luxury home and requires regular costly maintenance. Im really fascinated by the whole enterprise
