That truck is totally something my grandfather would have built. He bought a Ford F250 new in 1967 and made all kinds of modifications to it, all completely home-grown. Two of note were the water injection system for the carb (similar to WWII aircraft) and and a 'supplemental' cooling system for the radiator, which consisted of a 5 gallion (~20L) water bucket in the truck bed that fed a sprinkler head mounted to hit the center of the radiator at 50mph. It kept engine/trans temps down pulling the 20 foot travel trailer up the mountain passes and forest service roads of Idaho and Montana.
Half way through this video my wife suddenly exclaimed, "I've just noticed Joe has real farmers ears". This statement raises two questions, what are real farmers ears and how does my wife know what they look like?
To get rid of alcohol in fuel, add water. I use those translucent jerry cans with tap/spout. You bung in 200mls/litre shake well, leave 24hrs, the water will pull the alcohol out of the fuel, leaving alcohol free petrol floating on top , you will see 2 layers form when it settles overnight. I do this for my classic motorbikes
I posted my comment before reading any others and there’s loads pointing out how amazing this thing sounds. First thing that struck me when it fired up. Incredible tone and presence
@@chrisbartlett6022 when working for the NHS in a former life they had an old ww11 truck to carry waste no power steering and the lhs mirror use to drop which was always fun.
That adjustable spanner is a collectors piece! Hand tool rescue does reproductions based off the original patients so seeing an original is quite the feat.
Somewhere, there is an Interceptor with a landy engine! What you were trying to say is 'I'm going to refit the fuel lift pump otherwise I will have a hole in the block letting the oil out'
Awesome to see you in a Tom Lamb hoodie, a little bird tells me, he'd be quite happy to do some sort of collaboration videos with you, maybe give him and Colin a tour of the tanks, and you go visit Tom's farm and Collins bunker. Viewers that know you would love to see the cross over. And those that don't will find new content, it's great for everyone. Drop Tom a message, I know he'll be happy to hear from you.

I think you may have hit the jackpot with those wheel rims….they look like original Forward control rims deep off set..pretty damn rare, and worth ( dependent on the number stamped on to the rim) a fair few bob…nice!
Inspector Gadget is posted in front of his tele, rubbbing his hands, with a grin from ear to ear. 'Its alive'! Cant wait to hear the history and see it recommissioned fella's. Cheers for the entertainment and lessons on 'fabricobbeling'. cheers for sharing.
A man of your talents will be able to get it working I suppose if I was used I would get that engine ice blasted.. but all said that engine is sounding perfect pairing like a trooper i5 from Chester UK 🇬🇧👍 Yes look at that perfect it's like watching your first child take their first steps
sounds nice, better than a diesel, cant beet the lazy v8 burble, hope you can get it up and running properly with out to many headaches, look forward to seeing how you get on
amazing! I guessed the rack for the boat. However i presume its been to Africa, with the air locks fitted for a reason. Looking forward to being wrong. Cheers Jim
Really cool to watch all these young lads working on old gear. Hard to find in our days. Just a suggestion. Could you guys make a video talking a bit of your background? Where all started learning about it and then progressing from been unemployed to run your on business, time of business, what you do, how long thing take udder a restoration or a quick fix? Maybe there the equipment come about or talk a bit about all the project around etc. Anyway so much to cover I guess... keep up the good work very enjoyable. Cheers!
She's a beaut!!! Typical Landi - works when you give it the right juice. How about the clutch, no drag, just went in gear and axels worked like normal. Well done for finding this gem.
Bravo. Seems so many faults made the owner give up or was overwhelmed. He bought all the bits but could not do the work himself sadly, or happlily even. Glad you sorted out most of them and got his legacy machine going again. Well done.
It’s the weekend and I have a load of stuff to do in our house. But I watched this instead. That is a great barn find and nice to see you gents getting it running. Look forward to the next part.
Best sounding Jensen ive heard , the original car you had to jack up and take the front wheels of to get to the spark plugs , and you could watch the fuel gauge move when you where gunning them , very well done for an engine sitting that long
She's a beast! With that Clayton DeWandre brake master cylinder I wonder if it has the full NADA 6 cylinder braking setup? Also looks like it has 9.00x16 tires like a 1 tonne
And after Frankenstein’s monster was born, it needed transportation 😆😁👌. The engine sounds sweet enough when it’s running and definitely turn heads on the road with it sounding different to a rover v8😁
I enjoy hearing all these British-specific names for hardware. That Jubilee Clip is certainly nothing to celebrate! Across the pond we call it an adjustable hose clamp. We're a common people separated by a common language! LOL!
Well done Gentlemen. Excellent call on the oil pressure relief valve. Fell foul of that myself once. I noticed a little weep after on the hose fitting but you've probably already seen that yourselves. Those filter housings can tend to leak if the seal is not good. We use them on the flathead Ford V8s. I made some seals myself using nitrile sheet and a knife blade on a lathe. Great stuff guys, I recently discovered your channel and am enjoying the content. Mart in Solihull.
Yeah its abit of an odd ball right enough. Its cool to see a jensen engine in a landy and that gearbox beltdriven... No adaptor plates or anything then, very interesting. I would love to see it sorted out with a modern retro fitted oil cooler and filter relocation. Probably coild do with a modern radiator and electric fan. Efi fuel carb for easy start and running. And as you said get a power steering conversion probably from an electric assist... e.g. vauxhall or honda Could really turn it into a nice mud plugging rig if you went the retro mod way. Led lights, roof bar, snorkel Ls swap 😂

As if you noticed 🤣
No he didn’t stumble
literally just thought that and scrolled down and here it is hahah
What.
A.
Babe.
The Series ii is pretty nice to 🎉😅
Love the Gadget Rover! It deserves full recommissioning! ❤
Can’t wait to hear the history of the Gadget Rover. Would be nice to see restored.
She was someone’s pride and joy. Good to see it getting life breathed back into it.
Ahh, the Jensen Bullworker version! The one where the wotsit is attached to the thingy next to the doofa. Makes perfect sense 😂
Of course lol
I’m a wordsmith at times
@@MrHewes you certainly are. Spoken just like my old boss 🤔🤦🏻♀️🤷🏼♀️
@@MrHewesBetter listen to Gracie Fields' thingummy-bob song . The lyrics could easily apply here given the oil related difficulties.
I think that's possibly the most random 'modded' Landy I've ever seen. What a machine!
I love these guys... Absolute zero bullshit... They work in appalling conditions, but don't seem to notice it... That Hi-vis jacket is classic...
People these days too worried about looking fancy.
I think the team is well on its way to becoming legendary...if not already :)
Great to see it moving under its own power. Definitely deserves a sympathetic recommissioning and to get back on the road 👍
My thoughts exactly

Thanks mate good advice
The alcohol and water that is left is handy for cleaning hands, wiping stuff clean etc etc@@richardsalisbury496
The hood latch is ingenius! 😅
That’s how they make the cider he was drinking at the end.
Just buy BP E5 it's ethanol free and I think shell V power.
“ Because because “ best lines of the video, absolutely hilarious. That should go on a shirt!
Love the sound of that engine. Even nicer than the Rover V8. This car definitely deserves a full restoration if you can get enough info on it.
I posted my comment before reading any others and there’s loads pointing out how amazing this thing sounds. First thing that struck me when it fired up. Incredible tone and presence
Straight from an endoscopy to exploratory surgery, you guys really aren't mucking around!
Outstanding guys, 10 thumbs up from ALL he Rover fans in the USA....You made em, we LOVE em. BRAVO !!!!
I love the powerful no nonsense American heart of the Jenson , well done cousins
@@richardsalisbury496Chrysler AKA MoPar.
@@user-kd4ir7dk1s thank you I was pretty sure it was a Chrysler but it didn't know Which one
Now that's a ve-hicle I would love to have. Not many know how chuffing hard it is to drive something without power steering. Good job team
I drove one of the Heritage fleet Land Rovers a few times, had 4 sets of tracks on it, no power steer, was a beast the steer when going slow 🙂

Was actually a nice spanner 🔧
I have a similar one that I inherited from my grandfather.
Very useful because it can get into places a conventional can't.
I have a couple of those adjustables. They are occasionally invaluable, but I will admit that they are a tool of last resort. 😂
I have a couple also 😂
It’s so werid hearing spanner
A history lesson is coming soon Joe says.
Count me in, I say.
I hope that it's not a long time coming?
❤❤❤
Somewhere, there is an Interceptor with a landy engine!
What you were trying to say is 'I'm going to refit the fuel lift pump otherwise I will have a hole in the block letting the oil out'
You nailed it opening the bonnet, nailed it with the nail opener.........
See what you did there....... Landrovers, surprised that wasn't how they came from the factory....
Looks very interesting.Keen to learn more of it's history. Thanks for the vid. Jim Bell (Australia)

That engine sounds wonderful, save me save me.
It wasn't leaking... It was crying tears of joy.
It's giving me The Italian Job Land-rover vibes for some reason
great to see your enthusiasm for keeping all the classics in operating condition.
What a beast! That’s got to be a keeper 😊😊
What a peach! The body looks really tidy and I think that's the best colour too. A great find.
Mate…. Your banter is brilliant!! Well done!!🍺🍺💪💪👍

Love this back garden engineering at its finest can't wait to hear the back story and hope your going to restore her
Keep it up guys
that weird v belt drive system you have was used on WW2 us army trucks, it was used to power compressors and other equipment, it used 6 V belts.
Love watching cars brought back into life. Great channel 👍
Loving every second of this restoration
This chapnis brilliant 👏, I absolutely love Mr Hewes videos. Thank you sir, Gen-z has hope.
Nice to see the old girl running again
I look forward to a description of the "features" of this truck

amazing! I guessed the rack for the boat. However i presume its been to Africa, with the air locks fitted for a reason.
Looking forward to being wrong.
Cheers

I’m so interested in the History of that vehicle,bring it on lads.👍
Marking its territory, in a Land Rover stylie
Loved the V8 gurgle of our Snatches in NI. Nothing quite like it.
Found you guys through the last tank recovery video, love the crew and banter! I'll definitely be sticking around :D
..and the Frankendrover lurches into life…….!
Looking forward to the next episode.
That sounds amazing. All vehicles should sound like that
Good show mates another one saved from the scrapper ,hope you spend some time and do it up right and proper
Really cool to watch all these young lads working on old gear. Hard to find in our days.

keep up the good work very enjoyable. Cheers!
Yes we almost at 200 subs and I thought it’s time
All its needs is a 'one life live it' sticker and its good to go !
😤 NO!
That engine sounds amazing.
She's a beaut!!! Typical Landi - works when you give it the right juice. How about the clutch, no drag, just went in gear and axels worked like normal. Well done for finding this gem.
fantastic and extremely interesting
Great job guys she sounds great when she’s running
I can see why he fitted that engine!
Bravo. Seems so many faults made the owner give up or was overwhelmed. He bought all the bits but could not do the work himself sadly, or happlily even. Glad you sorted out most of them and got his legacy machine going again. Well done.
What a lovely exhaust sound,now you got to go the whole hog 🤗
Excellent fun seeing you work 😄
Great to see the landy drive 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you guys , thank you for teaching us , I learn so much each video.
It’s the weekend and I have a load of stuff to do in our house. But I watched this instead. That is a great barn find and nice to see you gents getting it running. Look forward to the next part.
Thanks for this. Great video. Reminds me of home. What a beast. Regards from Dresden.
Fantastic guys. The sound of the exhaust is great. I have seen a boat lift and rack similar the one you have, here in Canada.
Best sounding Jensen ive heard , the original car you had to jack up and take the front wheels
of to get to the spark plugs , and you could watch the fuel gauge move when you where gunning
them , very well done for an engine sitting that long
Very symbolic as it rolls out into the sunshine! great editing
Great episode. Look forward to hearing all about it.

I enjoy hearing all these British-specific names for hardware. That Jubilee Clip is certainly nothing to celebrate! Across the pond we call it an adjustable hose clamp. We're a common people separated by a common language! LOL!
I love all the different names for things across the seas
Jubilee are/were a brand, it's like saying Hoover, Jeep, Allen keys, mole grips and O-Rings.
Really appreciate your regular content guys.👍
You and the gang are best of the best on tube,,simply love it
Keep on the good work
The snatch Land rover lives! Anyones guess who it was going to snatch, but top work. Just need Mike Brewer to sell it and not give you any money now.
Man o man you guys have skills!!!!Absolute legends!!!!❤
It does sound like an old Jensen! Well done Lads! Very happy you didn't angle grind the block to get clearance for the starter like some do!
lol I was actually talking about the drivers step there was a bit off camera I smashed my hip into it and I almost died 🤣
Ted must be on his holidays!
Brilliant o see it run. It sounds great that V8.
An interesting machine. What a great engine to have in there.
Joe that it one strange land rover ! You did well to getting to run ! Great video !
Love the Tom Lamb merch, you guys should do a collab, like a mutual farm tour!
Great to see it run again, well done, looking forward to the history vid.
Very nice effort Mr Hewes 👍
That bonnet latch was the pre cursor to Ghost alarms 😊
Great job guys always handy having more than one pair of hands on a 👍

Beautiful, the engineering and interior have echos of "Il Tempo Gigante" from the animated film "The Finchcliffe Grand prix"
What a sound from that engine!. another quality upload. My favourite channel by far 👌
I was so hoping y'all be doing another on this awesome Rover
Impressive how little visibility is left in that high-vis jacket :P
Awesome video thanks lads very much appreciated 😊😊
Love this channel. More videos please buddy. Great video.
It's a Land Rover, it's bleeding every liquid that it can.
I had a disco that leaked diesel, coolant and diff oil but never engine oil.
Im new to mechanics and learning a lot from you! Thanks for sharing, love the content❤
