As a retired OSHA Safety Officer, I cant resist telling you that you should have a disclaimer in the video "Dont do this without proper face, eye, hand and body protection". Btw, sunglasses will NOT prevent a metal shard from penetrating the lens and going into an eye.
Bhahahaa Safety Sam Strikes Woooo!!!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer lmao
Oh crap osha's here. I gotta run be back later
@@CashisKingtrucking lol I cant do anything, I am retired. Have fun and be safe!
That why you have 2 eyes. You lose one you still got the other! But seriously he should wear a face shield. If a blqde explodes it could cut your neck :(
I am 15 years old. I get up at 5:30 am every morning. I go feed the cows and then go to school then I get home at 3 and work with my dad till 10:30 pm almost every night. That is how my dad has raise all five of my brothers and sisters. And we all would not change a thing. My fist tractor I drove I was 9 years old and was a Massey Fergusson 50 model. It was my grandpas and it’s around the size a 135 but it’s a 1957
It is likely a "57" or newer since it is a Massey Ferguson 50. Before that it was branded as a Massey Harris 50. I'm restoring a Massey Harris 50 and the manufacturing tag on it say Massey Harris Ferguson because of Ferguson buying out Harris at that time frame. Ferguson had left Ford at that time and Ford Ferguson become just Ford. There was a lot of this going on in the "40" & "50"s with Farm equipment manufacturers.
@@larrymixer144 I like to recall watching the promotions about MF tractors on country shows long ago. :)
Bumper is toast! Enjoyed your comments about kids today not getting out there and busting their butt. Or knowing the satisfaction of a hard days work. Was raised to earn your keep and not expecting it to be handed out to you. Keep up the good work on the farm.
I grew up surrounded by farms. The first thing i drove was either a 1955 cj 5 in a walnut orchard or a ford 8n in another orchard. Can't remember which was first. My best friends dad restored the cj 5 that belonged to his dad.HUGE JOB ! EXPENSIVE LABOR INTENSIVE! But so worthwhile! Turned out a beautiful family heirloom priceless. Just keep going.
As a guy from small town Oklahoma, the nail in the shock just proves this is and was a farm jeep. No need to be sorry for finding it, it worked for the time it needed to do a job and a nail was handy.
Living in Ohio in the Rust Belt, I've had to clean up the frame on my '78 truck more than once. I purchased it new and hope to keep it in the family for it's lifetime. The second time it needed rebuilt was a complete frame off resto like you're doing here. I appreciate your efforts. On your views of child rearing, I agree totally and have raised two very capable boys to men. They can all do it all. We have a vast array of tools of every sort and love to work together on projects. I know you would enjoy it if you had help and someone to bond with over your projects. So happily your viewers will suffice. Between the 3 of us we have 19 vehicles and a mini-backhoe, 3 camping trailers, 2 car hauler trailers, snowmobile trailer, utility trailers and 4 wheelers, 2 boats and various other machines to keep up and maintain. Wish we had a large property and barns to store them out of the weather and out of the way until needed. lol I do know what you're getting into and appreciate your desire to keep a piece of your past usable for a very long time. Your frame looks to be in wonderful condition and very solid. That's really great news. And the fact that each of us live on a budget everyday of our lives, no explanation is necessary when you choose to encapsulate rather than powder-coat your frame and other various parts. Thanks for sharing your build with us. We are in various stages of 2 such projects at this time as well. A 1977 Bronco and a 1974 CJ5. Love your channel and best of luck, everyday. Thanks, Josh. You also did surprise me with the Sears and Roebuck hubs. Wow ! hahaha
Told my two children f from young age,after high school, if not college, it's out the door.
Son went to Montana to work. Daughter joined the Army as a Combat Medic.
You are so right, Josh
Started a frame off on my sons 67 F100, 07 crown Vic front end control, 4link rear it will be a beast with a coyote in it. Still a work in progress, will be glad when I get my shop built at our new land so we can get back to working on it, once it’s done will start on the wife’s 67 Camaro.
You are so true about teens I'm 17 myself and I work on a dairy farm since I was 14 and know exactly what you are talking about love the channel!!!
I didn't grow up on a farm but I had chores and we had a garden that I had to take care of and I am glad that they did that it helped teach me a strong work ethic
Those are Selectro Hubs. They are darn good ones too. I have them on my '58 Willys Panel Delivery.
Thanks Josh for your hard work and dedication to your fans! Your are the #1 TH-camr in my book!
Big loud WOOOOOOOOO!!!!! to you and Mrs. Stoney Ridge!
Enjoyable video. Josh replace all you think you need to replace now so you don't have to worry later. I agree that children today aren't taught how to survive. Glad our parents taught us well.
Back a few years Sears had everything. In the late 50's I bought my first 22 out of the catalog. Early 60's a 303 british rifle. They sold Allstate cars and motorcycles. And nothing went to waste ---- that 2 inch thick catalog spent a year in the outhouse ------- things are just different now .
A year?!?!?! What a crappy way to go........ Sorry had to be said.
I have done all of this to my 1946 CJ2A. Have had the Jeep since I was 16. That's 40 years at least.
It’s your Jeep replace what you want to. The value is in memories and busted knuckles.
There is a lot of work there and filming it can double the time. So thanks for bringing us along!
Been doing a frame of restore on a 1950 M38 Willys for 3 years now. Its a never ending project
That Willys Jeep has survived much more than any Lambo or Ferrari could ever dream of. It should be held in a proper place of reverence considering it's real worth. Not dollars, but practical and sentimental worth. It had earned it.
Epic videos of a legend in the making....LONG LIVE POPCORN!
To Do List...(add ons)
Rebuild or replace the wheel cylinders (brakes for those who don't know).
Inspect springs for cracks with some micro crack fluid.
I totally understand the “this is taking way too long!” Feeling. I’m working on fixing up my 94 f150 which is my first car and baby. I’m being cheap and refusing to tear it all the way down and sandblast the whole chassis, but I also am dealing with 1/4” thick scale. It’ll take a while but you’ll get there. Old jeeps are so much fun and so cool. It’s like taking a trip back in time
Regarding the steering box. I helped do one of these up a few years ago . Its not uncommon for the steering box to be worn out as they are a "worm and peg style box which means the pegs that are on the cross shaft wears in the area most traveled on the worm gear. So when you go to adjust the clearance in the straight ahead position it will be right in the middle of its travel and get tighter as it gets toward either lock. so then you back it off a bit and end up with too much clearance in the middle. Its just an age thing. LOL. That's something to check. While you are cleaning up the chassis check the lh front shock mount and make a note of the crack in front of it that needs to be welded up. I've been watching your channel on my 55 inch tv. Thats how come i see this stuff. While i'm at it you can get thin cutoff wheels that are perfect for cutting off bits like the welded bits on the bumper. They are quicker than trying to grind them off. Buy them 5 at a time as you can go through them quickly but they do save time. you cut with the edge of them not the sides like a grinding wheel. You can also buy some EARMUFFS (SO MRS STONEY RIDGE DOESN'T"T HAVE TO YELL AT YOU WHEN YOU KEEP SAYING "WHAT!" ALL THE TIME LOL) and a cupped wire brush wheel for the grinder with TWISTED wire that will rip the rust off better than the standard type of cupped wheel that you have. If you get one it pays to wear gloves when using it. When the sprags of wire come off, they can dig into your hands. This isn't a criticism of you its just from my experience. You are doing well. its a lot of work but is fun and you get a great sense of achievement from doing it. The farms looking good and a real credit to you both.
Great video, replace what you want and need. The value is in your memories.
When I did a restore on a 62 ford uni body I started like construction, get the rolling stock done new bearings, suspension, steering and brakes. A good solid roller. Them I started with the radiator and cooling system. My engine and tranny were good so wiring was next.
I really hope your 10k number holds, my experience was add another half. But even then you cannot buy a capable jeep for 10k. Remember you are eating an elephant so small bites and time will enable you to succeed.
GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK
Chrysler Corp. put lug nuts on their cars and trucks with the wheel lugs were threaded different on the two sides.
Love those old Willys my grandma let an old van that was an old ambulance that they drove for a family of five. She forgot to leave it in gear and didn't set the parking brake. She was unloading some feed and it rolled back down the hill and hit a post. It broke the post but only bent the bumper a little bit. Grandpa said it was funny watch this 5'1" woman chasing the van and hanging on to her dress so it would fly up on her while she ran. The old Willys that I had was used to drag logs around in the timber and take the tools down to work. It had a still functioning pto on the back of it and we used it to power the mower for a couple of pastures. It was okay in a pinch but didn't have the swing and clearance that the old Massey Harris 50 had. Well any time you work on old working machines you never know what you have till you start digging into it. Well hopefully you can have a great time restoring the Willys.
Larry Mixer those reverse lugnuts can really have you cursing trying to turn them until you realize! And my cousin did the same thing with his Jeep Comanche years ago, unfortunately it was in a parking lot not on the farm though lol
Awesome video Josh keep up the great videos and your farm is looking great you and your wife are prime examples of hard work pays off. May God bless you Both
Cool tools, Super Clean hat and a sunny day in the shade, Willy Dilly, Woooo!!!
Josh, Thank you for your videos. I just thought I'd mention, the large (1 1/2 inch) factory hole in the center of the factory bumper is for a hand crank for the engine. If you look on the main pulley on the engine it should have a cross pin. Backup starter if your arms are big enough. I had a 80s CJ5 with the same bumper and always wondered what that hole was for. Then I noticed on a friends CJ2A that the main pulley had the cross pin. Looked through the hole and realized it was for a crank. It amazed me that they used the same part for 40 years.
Willys jeeps and early cj5 jeep frames dont rust out easily because its a c channel frame. Later cj jeeps and wranglers have box frames and dirt and rust stay in there plus it rusts by the welds.
Very correct. I don't like boxed frames for that one reason. They are also very tough to clean out thoroughly when restoring one.
Same reason Japanese trucks had so much trouble with frame rust from the very beginning. I’m going to have to rebuild a couple of frame sections on my 82 Toyota 4x4 truck because of it. Sad thing is that they never learned their lesson. Witness the Toyota frame recall several years ago due to rust issues. And as far as I know, they still build em with boxed frames.....
What's WAY cooler than a side by side ATV around the farm? A Willy's Jeep. What's cooler then that? When it's your Dad's Jeep. Glad to hear you are keeping it
Enjoyed the hell out of this video! Totally love the take down, grinding, banging, getting dirty! Wooo...my Daddy instilled hard work ethics down to us three girls...and the joy of wrenchin' to me! I wish that I could take my WILLYS apart like this! I've done a lot to it though! I got it to ride around the dirt roads with my hound dog now that my boys are grown! It's licensed and insured... and.. Yes...it's a work in progress! I'm getting back on it tomorrow! You keep me motivated! I absolutely love my Jeep! Not perfect but... neither am I! Looking forward to the next video! 😃
Critter Creek Ranch and Rescue.. New fans.. started watching at the Willey's Barn pull, and now all the critters here are hungry.. i got addicted.. LOL Great Videos and Presentation.. two thumbs up and 60 hooves, 40 paws, 24 webbed feet down (from the unfed critters) Kidding.. Great stuff man..
Welcome to the channel!
I did a similar job on a frame,put a cheap plastic sheet under it and it caught all the bits that fell off so I could tidy away after.Nice enjoyable job
I have a "53 M606 (CJ 3B) I'm going to rebuild (soon I hope). Watching your videos is very entertaining. Forget the know it alls and do your own thing. I break a lot of bolts too, but I get it done.
Just a suggestion, but soak that frame in Super Clean, Power wash, then wire wheel, power wash again, then spray with rust prohibitive.
When cutting things off the frame, try using a cut off wheel on that Dewalt, way faster.
That grinding you're hearing is just the brake shoes, no big deal.
Don't worry about the nickel and dime stuff, it's only about 20 grand !!
Great video and thumbs up.
Funny thing about those left hand threads, you have to crank one off before you realize it. Lot of work, but worth it. Thanks for sharing.
Screw the purest, it's your Jeep, do what you want.
This video was so fun to watch. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Josh, one thing you might do is clean the chassis with degreaser and spray it down with Phosphoric Acid. Phosphoric Acid will etch the rust right off and will be good prep for painting.
I think you are doing a fine job restoring Popcorn.
Go jacks, extremely handy tool for moving vehicles. They do make a paint/undercoat you can weldable primer paint called Steel-it and in black. Had a buddy undercoat a big 4X4, took like 6 or 8 cans. Battery technology has made portable tools possible.
Good job Josh! Nice to see that precious Jeep is in progress.
I learned to drive in my Father's 1944 Willy's Jeep. Our first small tractor I was able to use was an Allis - Chalmers CA.
Josh you are the best TH-cam I have seen and I love the Willys jeep videos and farm videos
That left hand thread it was thought would help keep lug nuts from loosening. If you ever work on older Chrysler products and probably early military Power Wagons you’ll find the same. They did that up into the 70s sometime. I guess they decided the theory didn’t hold water.
YOU are having way toooo much FUN !!!!
Really enjoying this series. I have a 67 mustang I am working to restore. My dad was the original owner of it. I am also not doing a contours restoration. I just want to make it a nice weekend driver for me and my family.
I was born in 1954 and grew up riding surplus jeeps converted to public transport after the war from then on until the 1970s when japan surplus flooded the market here. The old work horses then started to disappear into the junk yards. Surplus Diesel engines then came into use replacing the flatheads and valve in head engines.
Great to see you working on the jeep again. My advice, don't throw the old master cylinder away, you might find you get a better end result by refubishing it. That will apply for most parts like this if it's possible to refurbish where possible.
Love the channel josh but One thing I’d like to mention is I’ve started to sub to channels in the comments instead of waiting to see what comes to my feed. I think this is a better way to support our community channels a long with my own . Can’t wait to see all the great channels have to offer.
Slick move lol....😉
Stoney Ridge Farmer come on man I love the channel . You’ve help me more than you’ll ever know . I have 4 channels I owe my life to. Really ! I found something that replaces bad memories and changed me for the good. You’re one of of them. Someday I’ll be able to pay you back .
I first learned a stick on a '39 John Deere "A" and a '41 "H"when I was 12 or so....but then, those had the hand clutch and ya had to stop every time you changed gears, lol. I didn't learn a proper stick until I bought a '78 Jeep CJ-5. We had an old '57 Ford pickup and a '66 Chevy dump truck, but I just never got around to trying those as a kid. We usually used the old '71 Dodge 100 and it was an automatic...except the ignition was shot and to start it ya had to climb under it with a screwdriver to the starter motor, LOL! Most of our farming equipment was seven days older than water. Ever heard of a square baler called a Roanoke? That's what we used, lol. A pull type JD mowing machine, an originally horse drawn rake with the old square link chain drive. We built a wood splitter on an old truck axle and pulled it behind the '39 "A" and powered it with same via quick connect hoses to the "A"s hydraulic system. I admire you skills and do-it-yourself ability. I do all my vehicle work myself as well. Learn a lot that way. I'm 51 and still learning :)
I am so impressed how you have opened up your property it looks beautiful Brother
Don't you just love Yellow Season. The rain runs off yellow with tree pollen.
Bought a 65 Nova wagon in 2010. Started stripping it in 2015. Took about 80 hours and I don't know how many wire wheels to strip the body down to bare metal (and rust holes.) It's been in the body shop for about 4 years now and I've been away from home for 2. I really need to get the shop to get it done, not that I'll be home any time soon to put it back together.
Get Eastwood to send you a "Blast out of a Bucket kit" and use that for the hard to reach areas. The wire wheel only gets in so tight.
Hi Josh,Just a note of interest for the reasoning of left handed lug bolts and the mixture of said bolts. It was common enginnering thought in the 40s and beyond that the lug nuts on the driver side should be left handed was to prevent them from unscrewing due to wheel spin. Dodge in its infinite wisdom thought the same way. So lug bolts were lefthanded to prevent that. Well time and millions of other cars that didn't do that proved that it wasn't necessary for that nightmare. I owned a 1960 Dodge Dart and it had left handed lugs which my father watched me wring off several before telling me that fact. You have two options and Id vote for the second. First you could buy all right handed lugs and join the current world or you could, get the proper left hand ones to confound future generations of your family. At some time In your Jeep's life someone like me wrongly turned the lug bolts and instead of loosening, they tightened them and wrung them off and rather than try to find left handed lugs they used right handed ones. My father laughed for hours over that one. My brother owns the 1970 Dodge camper Special that Dad bought new and it was the last year that Dodge used left handed lug bolts and he rightly so uses left handed lug bolts. MY son in law Jason who works at Kaiser Willys and I'm sure that he will have those left handed lug bolts for you. A note to end frustration. Get a metal stamping kit and stamp and "L" on the left hand lug ends and nuts and your life will be easier.
Hi....... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Folks are right about sandblasting that thing.... It will save you a TON of time, and be a better job too. If you have a big enough air compressor, look into a crappy harbor freight portable sandblaster can... I am sure you will use it again and again on the farm. Just pick a spot to do it outside were you don't mind losing the sand to the ground... Sandblast and paint the very same day.
First hello from up on the BRP in nw NC. Wanted to say that I really enjoy what you are doing with the Jeep. Growing up we had a 48 Willys I believe and I learned to drive on it. Spent many an hour bouncing around in that thing. Dad sold it several years ago and being newly married with 2 kids I just didn't have the extra cash to keep it in the family. I had already started looking at tubs and stuff to fix it up. I am really enjoying the series as it hits home with me. Keep it up
HI" Josh! Working the jeep . Nice , U ,& Mrs Stoney Ridge Farmer Have a good weekend.
man, that was a good video. takes me back to when i first started the frame off restore on a cj7. once i had it moving under its own power, i set on a 5 gallon bucket to drive it around before i finished the interior. cant wait to see popcorn rolling around stoney ridge👍👍👍👍
You should get a metal cut off wheel for your grinder makes cutting off bolts a snap. Really enjoy your videos!!
You can also use a rust converter that will neutralize rust chemically and change it to iron phosphate and turn it black. Then just brush off any loose stuff and prime and paint...
Skyco Ospho is what I use and I get it at mccoys for 19.99 a gallon and it does like 600 sq ft per gallon.
Time we'll spent Josh, I can see you and your children riding that jeep all over that farm. Good Times!
I would get a 3" or 4" wire cup wheel for your grinder with the twisted wires. It will make a lot quicker work and get into a lot of places you can't get with the grinding wheel. I t will clean off that old paint very easily. I did a small fence for a friend a couple years ago and the paint is still good. Had to relevel it and trim off a lot of dangerous edges. Thanks for sharing and yes, lot of work.
Strip the front axle totally apart and replace all the seals. That is a closed knuckle hub and has a seal inside the flange on the back. PITA to get at but totally worth it in the long run.
Buy a cheap walnut blaster from harbor freight and get her done. I think they are less than what you will spend in grinding wheels lol
Hey Josh, gr8 to see u workin on Popcorn again. U might want to get some cutoff wheels for ur grinder. They make short work of cutting brackets, bolts, welds and sheet metal. Thanks for the videos and bringing us along, Rick
On the knuckle joints, I believe there are seals on there that may be dry rotted or disintegrated by now. Depending on how much grease is left in the knuckles, there also may be water that may have settled in there. At least they still move smoothly. Good job stripping out the frame, cant wait to see u finally applying the Rust Encapsulator.
WELCOME TO THE JEEP FAMILY I've done this on so many Jeeps....And they ended up being my Daily drivers,,,
Ryne Sandberg is my hero. He's the reason I played baseball. I still love RYno.
Attention to detail pays off.
Josh, I got my first Makita battery grinder around 1976! Battery would last about 5 minutes! Not exaggerating. It was useless!
I have been watching all the Willis videos and I want to move to the farm myself. WOOOOO!
Awesome Fred!
Did a ‘74 Silverado pickup
from the Frame Up. Omg mixed with awesomeness !!!
That’s right getter done ✅. Love your videos !
Had a 36 ford half ton pickup-rodded,351 windsor,c4,8" diff,(canadian cab-all steel) that l did a frame up build.Sandblasted frame(outsourced) with rattle can black.Worked fine as a daily driver.
Love the Ryne Sandberg comment!
cool cant wait for more
I saw a 1948 willys jeep on the internet all fixed up for 14,000 dollars. They are not free. LOL=) When you get it all fixed up it will be fun to drive around your property. Just enjoy tinkering on it as long as you like to because it is supposed to be enjoyable not a like a job you have to show up to and work for a boss. Your doing this for your own satisfaction. Yes it will be worth a lot of money when your done.
Love watching your channel. I learn so much🎈
Love your videos -- slow and steady wins the race!
You take your time, we will be patient, great work
The concept behind LH threads on the left and RH threads on the right was that for going down the road, the rotational forces tend to tighten the nuts, rather than loosen them. Was used in the early cars with wire wheels and knock off single central nuts, followed through for multi nut hubs up until about the 70's, when manufacturers slowly moved over to all RH thread nuts and studs to reduce inventory, and possibly assembly errors as well. Mixed LH and RH threads on a single hub suggests that somewhere down the line studs have been broken, probably because someone was not aware of the LH thread situation and cranked it the wrong way, and replaced with RH stud and nut because that is what was handy at the time.
Agree with others that suggest cut off wheels for the grinder, get a pack of the 1mm thick fine ones to use for cutting old bolts etc. They can be brittle, but well worth it at 80c each or thereabouts as they are removing about one third the metal that the more robust ones remove, so do that job much faster, and with less effort from the grinder. That huge body weld at the rear passenger side bumper that defied the sawzall would have cut like butter with the thin cut off wheel.
YAY JEEP VIDS ARE BACK !!!!!!!
Whew lots of work but it’ll be worth it. Enjoying watching you restore it. Gonna be nice. Wooooo! Thanks 👍👍👍❤️😎
Ha, it's so true about treating kids like babies. I was driving a tractor age 6 and helping out in the dairy etc.
Great job
Awesome shirt !!! 🤘
Ford Motor Company built a large amount of the WWII Jeep's.
Too true, but this is supposed to be an early 1950's Willys, not a 1940's unit.
Correct. Ford built the GPWs (counterpart of the Willys MB) from '41 to '45.
I saw not one stone on that ridge. Ha ha ha. Popcorn is coming along, nice!
It took me a lifetime to get what I now have. Skill by skill tool by tool.
The first thing that needs done is for that old bumper, to be placed next to the junk from your crazy neighbor. Woooo.
The shocks on my old Jeep Never Moved because the Leaf Springs were so Heavily Stacked that Shocks hardly ever moved, I removed several springs and old jeep rode much smoother...
josh i love those diamond 4 inch cut off wheels for a angle grinder i think it would help with the heavy cutting
Great job Josh.
Just a suggestion, you my want to look into a gang mower like they use on sod farms to cut the grass, it would save you some time cutting all that grass.
You won't regret replacing everything on the frame. the time spent on it will be well worth it, you will never have a better time to do it as with the body off. it will last many many years.
Wish I was there to help you!
Stoney, if that brake system is an open system, (vented cap), put DOT 5 brake fluid in it. (Synthetic). If it is a vented system and you put DOT 3 brake fluid, it will draw moisture and rust your system from the inside out.

Been waiting for popcorn mate😃
