Man I’ve noticed a ton of negative comments on here. I’m a diesel mechanic. Been one for 20 years. I’ve also been where I’ve had to work on something with limited tools and service data and had to figure out a way, any way, to achieve the goal. You got the truck running. You got it moved. Good job. Period. Most people wouldn’t even try. Don’t listen to the negativity. Keep the videos coming.
Honestly I could watch salvage workshop videos every day hes saving older equipment that had plenty of life left in them which otherwise would be scrapped, it's clear to everyone who's watched him working on some of the things that he loves every second of what he does honestly I cant wait for his next video then the video after that and so on
Yep, in a fully sorted shop, these methods seem barbaric. But in the wild with limited tools, a lot of school trained mechanics would have never got this old girl going.
There is SO much expression in mikes face. He has such a quiet voice. I would love to sit and BS him and plumb his memories. Ten thousand thumbs up to you guys. It looks like you made a friend for life!
That 7.8 is bullet proof. We ran them for years in power line equipment. I think the first thing I would have done would replace the fuel filters and properly bled the system, put good batteries in. Could have saved you some time.just sayen.
Wow, service truck and a man lift and a crane in one, would love this thing so much. I also like how the oldtimer avoids showing the plumbers smile... need a pair of these suspenders myself.
Love your videos and can do attitude. Don't worry about the "I know better" comments, you are out there doing stuff and helping out your buddy. They are sitting at their keyboard complaining how others do stuff they can't or won't do. Love this channel. Two thumbs up! 👍 👍
Few things about running a bucket truck of that kind if you have future plans. Old rusty outriggers? Wire wheel the outrigger legs clean to bare metal, grease them. The side you put down first should be the side you pick up last, this helps on an old rig. Outriggers when truck is on a slope? Level the truck first with the downhill side outriggers then put down the up hill side. In most cases outriggers do not need much more than ground contact, no need to push down hard unless soft ground or leveling. This will prevent the outriggers from getting stuck. Pushing down hard to do what you did was fine though. Do not try leveling technique if truck is sloped front to back, always best to keep tires firmly on the ground when in the bucket. And that style of boom, not my favorite but still fine. Use the lower controls to run the boom before flying in it yourself to see if it’s safe. Most important test is bringing the upper boom over center, they have been known to drop, keep clear. You probably won’t be flying in that Bucket soon anyways hahaha. ABSOLUTELY, DO NOT, lift 2,000 lbs with that jib, even though it says 2,000lbs on the chart. I run brand new versions of this truck and our maximum worst case emergency lift we do is 1,400lbs. I’d be surprised if the brake on that jib winch holds 1,000lbs. 1,000 lbs is the most you should lift with that in good condition. We’ve had guys who have lifted 1,600 lbs on the jib and they admitted they would never ever try it again. Another known thing to watch out for in the world of bucket trucks is any boom with steel cables for bucket leveling. Note the condition of the steel cables before flying in it as the cables have been known to let go, dump the bucket over and the guy flying in it. Wrote this just in case you do decide to operate it further
This is some sage advice. I worked in the periphery of a tree business for years and many bad things can happen when outriggers and lifting cables are in the mix. As soon as I saw that winch I was thinking I wouldn’t try lifting more than 500 pounds in its current state. Then he read that label and I’m like “Nope”! Hope they take your advice and do things incrementally. 🤞
Out of curiosity, is this thing seriously made to be used to lift something while somebody is in the bucket? I could understand a combo, lifting from the ground with nobody in the bucket, or using it as a bucket truck, but lifting with somebody in there?
@@timderks5960 yup! The boom is called a “material handler” and is made to lift things while there is someone in the bucket. But you do not have to be in the bucket to do so, there are both lower and upper controls.
And on a further note, especially with a well aged bucket you should definitely wear a harness. Unfortunately your harness lanyard will get hooked to a ring attached to the bucket from the factory. The thing with your bucket is that the bucket is on the same spindle as the jib. If the spindle is at all comprised and in the very unlikely event the spindle brakes off, you will go down with the jib and the bucket. You will be miles ahead in the safe direction if you attach a d ring to the end of the boom to hook your lanyard to so if the bucket does fall off you are hooked to the boom
That feller needs to take it easy on that starting fluid trigger finger. I don’t know a ton about diesels but I do know that either is not a good thing for them.
Mike I do want to tell you how much I enjoy your Channel. I also appreciate the fact that you find these old broken equipment remodeled them and get them functioning and working well. I think society is so busy thinking about the next new thing that they forget about a lot of the old equipment works just as well if kept in good running order. Keep up the good work I'm enjoying it so much! .M.A
You had asked why we like your videos. For me, love the detailed, down to earth, realistic description, and what you are doing so a fifth grader can understand it. Most videos are a clean dressed guy in a clean environment, with new clean tools. Not you, dive Right into it!! Thank you so very much!
You know you wanna buy it Matt! Shame they already got it running otherwise it'd have been a dead cert... Hope things are coming along OK after the flood & you didn't lose too much in the way of equipment/tools.
Those Brazilian built 7.8 engines could practically run on sand. Merlin Marine was pulling over 1,000 hp out of them for boat racing applications. It was originally in the Ford Cargo low COE mated to a short throw 5 speed that felt more like driving a car than a truck. Hard to kill those little 6s and they’re just a rock solid powerplant.
Before any keyboard warriors comment that Salvage Workshop should have done this or that please remember this lovely piece of old iron was heading to the scrapper...and they saved it! I thank you guys for saving this wonderful old Ford that has plenty of life left in her from an undeserved fate and for brining us along for the ride. 👍
Just a small sugestion for next time u find ur self in this situation, crack open the top of the injectors and use the hand pump u have on your tank to draw all the air out. U crack open the injectors one by one while turning over the engine by hand, make the job a lot easier. Btw love your chanel
Good job! very interesting. It is cool to hear this old equipment purring.. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.. I'm sure you have hours invested, for our enjoyment.
I found myself rooting for her pull herself out...go go go you can do it...yyyyeeeess. hell yes i drove her on home too. Im thinking a little air in the tires would help the ride. I love it.
Really enjoy your channel and so happy to see some new content. Fantastic to see you helping out Mike get that awesome rig to his place. And of course I'm really looking forward to the continuing odyssey of big red!
Did you pump up the "primer" pump ? Located on the injector pump, the round knob Fuel really should go through the lift pump first and then to the injector pump The injector pump doesn't have enough suck to feed itself and sooner or later will wear out the injector pump prematurely
Awesome .... Great to hear from you again . Good footage .... Honestly doing the camera work is much harder than fixing the vehicles I think . Keep em coming , if we were neighbors , we have lots of old stuff to share . I think the tires could use 60 or 70 psi , that will help tremendously ,just from a quick observation . Thats a cool truck . It would make a awesome shop truck for sure . The winch is a bonus too. Good score on that old truck . I just picked up a 10 wheel drive FWD Crane . It has super low range , 4th gear is almost a slow walking speed . I got it running and everything still works , crane winch boom etc. I understand your passion .
Really enjoy watching your videos and learning new tricks ignore the haters just keep doing what you do looking forward to seeing any content you create. Especially old red
Great job on getting it going and moved, that is a fine little material handling bucket. That jib on the bucket will lift a lot of weight, I think near 1 ton depending on the model (oh, I see you mentioned that at the end). We used those trucks to hang single phase transformers with 1 man, great units.
Good job guys ! My company truck was a F700 and I couldn’t kill that thing it is a bulletproof motor. Definitely would be a keeper it will outlast us all with a little TLC . Keep up the great content.
I wish I could find the stuff you do, I like the old F800, thats a Ford built diesel, great engine. I was at one time a Mechanic at a Ford Truck Dealership, Those trucks are great.
If you just needed to move it. You could have charged the air tanks with a compressor and released the air brakes. Or backed off the slack adjusters. Less headaches than messing with the engine. You can snap the driveshaft trying to break the breaks free. You got lucky getting the wheels to spin after sitting for so long.
Thanks. I like it because I worked as a kranedriver. I like that you rescue this backettruck. In the Russia where I live the truck like this go to scrap. Its a horrible.
Man this thing would make a hell of a cool rescue truck for dragging things out of the trees and old barns. Hope we get to see more of Ole Red someday soon.
I assume the aluminum base of the throttle pedal was stuck like all heavy Ford trucks of that era. We had 9 Ford 9,000 series so we always kept a couple pedals in stock. That must use air for tree trimming tools because it has a 4 cylinder Bendix compressor. They normally used a 2 cylinder even for tractor trailers. Mud daubers probably plugged up the air dump valves so the brakes won't release. Those bucket trucks were usually ordered with a locking differential which can also make them bind up in a turn when the outside wheels are trying to turn faster than the inside wheels.
@@ronfrance4041 Bucket truck tools are usually pneumatic. Pneumatic requires a single hose connection and the air is exhausted at the tool. Hydraulic requires a feed line connection and a return line connection.
@@larrywalker7759 i have never seen a pneumatic tool for a bucket. 14 years as a lineman. Hundreds of buckets trucks and not one I ever saw was pneumatic. The benefit of hydraulic is more power and the fact you can be insulated even while using the tools as you can get non conductive hydraulic oil. With air, if there was moisture in the line for whatever reason the air fryer failed, the 12,000+ volts I work on would track down that air feed and hose and cause a short to ground beginning in front of you. Even the hundreds of tree trucks and phone trucks I’ve seen. Not one with pneumatic tools
@@ronfrance4041 I concede that I have not worked for an electrical utility and so I do not know first hand about your equipment. I do know about requirements for the hydraulic systems to be non conductive, likewise non metallic winch rope instead of steel wire rope. But I have been around tree surgery bucket trucks and know that some of them use pneumatic saws and pneumatic limb loppers. So, in the region where you work pneumatic might not be favored over hydraulic, but there are some out there using air. I agree with your comment about moisture in an air hose being able to initiate arc-over when the voltage potential is very high.
@@larrywalker7759 I surely will never see see or know everything, pneumatic bucket tools do come as a surprise to me and I do believe you. I wasn’t saying you were wrong at all I was just referring to the bucket truck in the video that was being questioned on its tool system as it is very much originally a line truck.
Had the outriggers holding it up then dropped it to dig the tires out? I guess hind sight is 20/20. Nice truck wished I could find one as nice they're all junk where I'm at, rust buckets.
I love your videos so much. Please always show first starts and cold starts with that drivers side view with the door open. It’s so cool to see what you do with the controls and pedals. Would love more cold starts of everything you have including the forklift
Cool old Truck... Try not to shift from forward to reverse without stopping the wheels... (unless your Peg, he's a professional). Don't forget to release your brakes!!
You can always use both batteries but run them in parallel positive positive negative to negative give you twice the amount of cranking apps do it the other way and you'll have 24 V you could burn up everything under the dashboard
Nice nuts. Does sound like you are trying to take off in second or third gear all the time. I also suspect you have a diff locker that's turned on. First gear should be about the same as reverse. Notice how reverse is much lower geared?
Those are some badass booster packs for sure. I never in 1000 years would of thought that they alone would get that truck to turn over fast enough to make it start. Im impressed
That "crane" at the back is a powerlift. We use it al the time. It's really handy but you always have to check the chart for not overloading it. Here you have a rope but we have a metal wire like in a real crane. So I guess someone changed it over the years. If you can put a new bucket instead of "fiberglass the heck out of it"
This brings back memories of when I had a 24ft U-Haul super mover that wouldn't start in single didgit weather and all I had to jump it with was a Honda civic.
Nice truck! Some work for road worthiness and stable running and you're good to go! Would make a great work truck for salvaging other forgotten vehicles, plenty space for tools and basic spare parts, maybe even a generator with jump start capabilities? Thx for showing! :-D
That was the Ford Brazilian Diesel made in Brazil a modified for the road ag engine. I had 13 in school buses many went a quarter of a million miles original starters, no oil leaks, injectors and pumps never touched. Throttle linkage was a nightmare always started in cold weather, but were a torquee engine, would eat AT545 Allisions. They rode like a tank.
Cool man !! Good to see it get saved it will come in handy for something a little work and she will be ready for full use no doubt and ill bet that bucket lift works just fine !! Nice rig for sure !! Get video as always !! 👍👍
@@RenoBusdriver i agree completely, but any creator (if they are truly honest) will say, that's much easier said than done! But your support does truly help, so thank you for that!
Well I would never have thought it would have been able to stand in it jacks after all the se years was expecting the pipes to blow nice work on getting it going and moving looks great another project 😀👍

I agree 100% Mike. All they're trying to do is get the damn thing started and moved. They finally did it. Who gives his crap how they did it.
Don’t worry when you do get it usefully serviceable, the same creeps will be complaining that’s it’s not battery electric.

Love when I see a comment from on of the TH-cam channels I watch commenting on another one I love :)
Hey Matt, I gave you a shout out on another comment. You guys both amaze this old man. I'm glad that you know each other.

It was originally in the Ford Cargo low COE mated to a short throw 5 speed that felt more like driving a car than a truck. Hard to kill those little 6s and they’re just a rock solid powerplant.
We used to use WD40 as a starting fluid, give it a try sometime. It lubricates and burns good.
Love that old truck if you decide to get rid of it I would love to get a shot at it I have be wanting and needing one

If you bought this truck.I can already see this being a very cool service vehicle.For future recoveries.
you need to buy this truck, restore it, convert the lift to a crane, and use it for your revivals
As always. Bush mechanics at its absolute best. Love this stuff as it’s what I always had to do coz otherwise we had no machines.
Thanks again for sharing
Another great one... and I love the whistling melody.
Nice! You’ve done it again. Keep going and will see you soon. Tnx.
I'm glad you're back, miss your doggies.
2x Mike's comment. Keep the videos coming, Thank you John
I'm in love with that truck!!! Good job getting it moving, even if it wasn't in the "standard" operating instructions 😅👍👍👍👍
Good job guys ! My company truck was a F700 and I couldn’t kill that thing it is a bulletproof motor. Definitely would be a keeper it will outlast us all with a little TLC . Keep up the great content.
I’m hooked. You ability to diagnose a problem and fix or get around it is incredible. Love the Big Red videos as well. 👍
I believe this is the same as the Ford School bus engine and transmission.
Love how these old seemingly junk vehicles jump back to life. Great work as always!
It’s always intriguing how these types of vehicles becomes “ old and broken” due to the lack of basic maintenance. With.
Nicely done SW and Mike. You did what you had to do and got her done.
I wish I could find the stuff you do, I like the old F800, thats a Ford built diesel, great engine. I was at one time a Mechanic at a Ford Truck Dealership, Those trucks are great.
Brilliant.... Mike was the best and stayed safe in the end.
If you just needed to move it. You could have charged the air tanks with a compressor and released the air brakes. Or backed off the slack adjusters.
Less headaches than messing with the engine.
You can snap the driveshaft trying to break the breaks free. You got lucky getting the wheels to spin after sitting for so long.

Screw the dickheads with the negative coments you are my favorite TH-cam and i learn New stuff from you so yust keep the vids coming
The Clark forklift that you worked on. You may be able to get more information from Clark, St Thomas on, Ontario Canada

I love your videos so much. Please always show first starts and cold starts with that drivers side view with the door open. It’s so cool to see what you do with the controls and pedals. Would love more cold starts of everything you have including the forklift
You have got big nuts! Some of the jobs you take on😂🏴👍🏻
You got it running
Love the video, especially when grandpa pushed that truck backwards with just his fingers. 😅😂
That was definitely rummaged through. radio gone, glove box open and stuff scattered around. notorious for around here.
That be nice truck to fix up ...diesel, air brakes, 22.5 tires.lot going for it
Great job you guys. you should get Mike on you channel more often he's a cool dude. Mick, Northern Ireland. 👍
Good one.Nice to see old machines moving again
What an awesome recovery and getting something old going
You're really amassing a fleet of machines. I see big things in the future...
You haven't seen ANYTHING yet!
Cool old Truck... Try not to shift from forward to reverse without stopping the wheels... (unless your Peg, he's a professional). Don't forget to release your brakes!!
Amazing job sir 😳
You can always use both batteries but run them in parallel positive positive negative to negative give you twice the amount of cranking apps do it the other way and you'll have 24 V you could burn up everything under the dashboard
hope you stick with it for us was looking forward to the gehl skidloader saw nothing after dragging out of the woods.
Glad to see you back putting out content. Thanks for the video, love the 'will it start: genre. Hope to see more soon.
Nice nuts. Does sound like you are trying to take off in second or third gear all the time. I also suspect you have a diff locker that's turned on. First gear should be about the same as reverse. Notice how reverse is much lower geared?
It'll definitely buff out.
I completely agree!
i think that bucket needs more then little fiber glasswork i need to be rerplaced noway id get ina reapir bucket that bad
Have no fear... you will never have to get into it!
Those are some badass booster packs for sure. I never in 1000 years would of thought that they alone would get that truck to turn over fast enough to make it start. Im impressed
Another great video!!
I love those old Ford square gages
Looks like a bit of blow by from underneath. Now for a fist full of dead presidents you'll have a fine old truck. Good video
That "crane" at the back is a powerlift.
We use it al the time. It's really handy but you always have to check the chart for not overloading it.
Here you have a rope but we have a metal wire like in a real crane. So I guess someone changed it over the years.
If you can put a new bucket instead of "fiberglass the heck out of it"
Sometimes to many cooks in the kitchen doesnt get things done
This brings back memories of when I had a 24ft U-Haul super mover that wouldn't start in single didgit weather and all I had to jump it with was a Honda civic.
I’d like that cab and frame with a hilarious giant pickup truck bed on it.
Ive had the same desire... A LOT of work, but dang that could be cool!
@@SalvageWorkshop it seriously would be
I've always wanted one of those older bucket trucks and take the bucket lift and turn it into a knuckle boom crane. Future video maybe lol
Nice truck!
Some work for road worthiness and stable running and you're good to go!
Would make a great work truck for salvaging other forgotten vehicles, plenty space for tools and basic spare parts, maybe even a generator with jump start capabilities?
Thx for showing!
:-D
Cheers and applause from this 83 yo grandma
That was the Ford Brazilian Diesel made in Brazil a modified for the road ag engine. I had 13 in school buses many went a quarter of a million miles original starters, no oil leaks, injectors and pumps never touched. Throttle linkage was a nightmare
always started in cold weather, but were a torquee engine, would eat AT545 Allisions. They rode like a tank.
good engines. but last i heard getting real hard to get parts for them. i'd rather a 3208 cat. lol
@@SchnelleKat Parts are only hard to find because no one ever needs them. EVERYone needs parts for 3208's...
Cool man !! Good to see it get saved it will come in handy for something a little work and she will be ready for full use no doubt and ill bet that bucket lift works just fine !! Nice rig for sure !! Get video as always !! 👍👍
Thanks Robert! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Definitely will be a useful truck after a little TLC!
Great video runs great some hydraulic work but this was a great video thank for sharing and your time is great job all the way start to finish.
7:27 Your buddy is wearing a Welders Cap, that I remember being worn by the High School Cowboys here in Texas, back in the 70's.
Yeah we piledrivers/welders still wear them
Nais kran.😊😊
Ditch the toolboxes. They add major weight much better if you run on lawns
Cant believe all the negative comments. This young man, could probably out work 99% of you keyboard commandos.
I agree.. goodness gracious! ... and people wondered why I STOPPED making videos for awhile!
@@SalvageWorkshop Just have to ignore the negative Nellys
@@SalvageWorkshop I love your videos your true followers will support you brilliant content hope big red ok.
@@RenoBusdriver i agree completely, but any creator (if they are truly honest) will say, that's much easier said than done! But your support does truly help, so thank you for that!
@@farmerfuller87 I truly appreciate that!!
Welcome back! Glad to see more of your great videos. Hang it there !👍👍👍👍👍
Well I would never have thought it would have been able to stand in it jacks after all the se years was expecting the pipes to blow nice work on getting it going and moving looks great another project 😀👍
Good work, you moved it, I'd check with the salvage yards for a bucket if it's going to be put back into service
