Wily, I’m the one from upstate new York, the one who has 4 bronchial valves for my lungs. What I’m saying is I’ve watched you when I had to stay for days. You made me feel good to watch your videos. And like everyone says keep them coming. Great video too.
Thank you for sharing. I wish you the best. I am humbled by your comment and Thank you.
we are still waiting on part 2 of this truck
Thanks my friend, I’d sure like to meet you someday. We have a lot in common we both go to harbor freight. And I would like to spend the day getting my hands dirty trying to do will it start videos.

Love hearing the old timers telling their stories about their past ! Great video!
Their war storys
He had some good ones. Thank you for watching
retired truck driver here i love hearing ole timers stories
Thank you. I think he enjoyed sharing them
Ole homie's t-shirt had me messed up from the time I saw it.. Couldn't keep my eyes off it the rest of the video. 😂
Lol. It didn’t affect me until i was editing the video. Got my vertigo going Thanks for watching
Once again Wiley demonstrates his fortitude. Great job
Wily is a good ole boy!
Thank you
I wonder how many "Red Sovine" songs were played on that 8-track . Maybe "Joe Stampley's " Roll on big mama" My daddy used to drive a truck like this . Brings back fond memories of my 1970's childhood . Thanks Wiley
Teddy Bear blairing through those speakers 😮
Thank you for sharing. When i pulled up he was listening to Don Williams
Thanks for watching
Wily that is a nice old KW. Be nice to see it get a second chance.
Hopefully. Thanks for watching
Man I was waiting to see the brakes caged & get that Ol' K-Whopper moving & the video ended..lol. hopefully there's a part 2.
There is and Thank for watching
Wily I would like to personally thank you, telling the story of my family’s’ trucking history. That KW has been sitting in that exact spot for all 25 years of my life. It was beautiful to see Granddad tell a few of the many many stories about the history of that truck. Growing up I use to play around in my grandparents yard or mow their yard wondering would it ever run again. To see you and your team work tirelessly on getting it to start again was nothing short of amazing. Thank you for this video again! To capture the pure emotion of my grandad hearing it run again was a beautiful tribute of the many years of my family’s deep trucking history and tradition.
Why did it sit so long?
Your welcome. I glad to be a part of it. Viewers did not get to see the family members and friends that came by and watched us attempt to start it. The old KW is an important part of your GrandDads life and i am glad he got to share it.
Another amazing video!
Im 43, just that tail end of Gen X, and that handy generation just between a time of Playing outside and the computer tech savvy generation...and I say the Elder generation are a treasure trove of stories and wisdom. Many of them forgot more than we'll ever know about things. Our Generation is not worried about remembering and learning we just turn to Google. God Bless ya Mr.Wily...🇺🇲🙏🏼 thanks for taking us along, Cheers from Toledo
Thank you for sharing that. I couldn’t agree more
What are they going to do to that treasure?
Dreaming of get myself on one of those once again first God.
Got into truckin in 75, the 15 other drivers were alot older so i heard and loved their stories , drove a 74 pete, but we had a few k100's like that, smaller bunk tho. Thanks for this, Wiley! Love it!!!!
Great video
Thank you and thanks for watching
Bring back memories. Retired owner operator, started career in those old trucks, loved it.
Thank you for sharing. Thanks for watching
I don't know what I liked more the stories or hear that start after 25 years..
Thanks for watching
I love watching vehicles being fixed. You learn a lot. Knowledge is power, indeed.
Thanks for watching
In the battery box is a series-parallel switch. The purpose of that switch is to send 24 volts to the starter when the key is turned to start, then revert to 12 volts when not cranking. It takes 2 12 volt batteries, one positive ground and one negative ground to make it work. It has been at least 30 year since I last replaced one, so i don't remember the proper wiring.
Thank you for sharing With the 12v starter being on it would you not think they bypass that? I never seen one before
Love hearing elders tells stories.
Glad you enjoyed that. I think he enjoyed sharing them
That Kenworth is nice looking Wiley, he sure did a great job keeping out the rats. They are bad about chewing up electrical wiring, its in very nice condition. And it started up great, for sitting 25 years. That's amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
That's a really nice old truck it fired right up and sounds good awesome job Wily and Jacob
Jacob always says 4 - 6 hrs to get to the 20 second shot we came for
lol 😂
Wiley, just a Chiltons time saver here. Always check what's in the sleeper before lifting the cab, voice of experience. I have seen a few windshields have to get replaced. Coffee cups, Thermos, parts, tools, small TVs, etc.etc.
Thanks for sharing and i didn’t even think of doing that.
Great stories. I love listening to how it was in the old days. You have a very respectful Son. You should be proud Wiley
Thank you very much for that. I am
Love seeing this history from Billy! And Jonathan's facebook jokes are the best! LOVE THIS! Great to see this old truck and old neighbors. Wonderful family.
We Enjoyed filming and being around your family. Hopefully we can get it moved to his work shed where he can tinker with it
Are we Talking about the Same Jonathan on Face Book 😂
Retired 44 years of trucking, now totally disabled I had a k100 425 cat 13 speed 3.55 rears in 1983, id love to be able to drive again, I don't think it ever leaves your blood, those were the days when Rand McNally was the GPS and truckers were courteous and would help eachother if need be. Thanks for the vid and the memories of your grandpa, we trucked around the same time.
Thank you for sharing. He did tell a story that i didn’t put in about being broke down and the way truckers would stop and make sure you had what you needed and would help you get going
He talked that its not like that much any more
I know there are plenty of good drivers/people still out that will help
Thank you Wiley. The life experience of these men would make such a good movie.❤❤❤.
Thanks you and thanks for watching
Now, that was some pice of work wily, ye both done well to get that truck running again after 40 years sitting ❤ 👍
Thanks 👍
I was born in Deland Florida I like to hear stories like this man talking about
Thank you and Thanks for watching
Ya'll are my kind of people.
Really enjoy your videos
Thank you very much
Wily The starter is 24v the rest of the truck is 12v They used a series parallel switch to start the truck then back to twelve volt. They could give trouble when they got older.
we called them a BeeJesus box, boy they could really get ya mad
Thanks for sharing. I never seen one before As the day went on he told it came with 4 - 6volt batteries
That is a truck almost identical to the one I lost in a wreck Christmas of 22 when I got my neck broke because a woman was to busy on her cell phone…I would dearly love to have her to fix back up to her original glory!
Wily great video. Love to hear old time drivers passing their stories before their gone. Keep it up. God Bless.
Thanks. I think he enjoyed sharing them
Wiley, I'm so thankful you have your own channel. I used to watch Hamiltonfarm just because of you. Without you it's just not worth watching. Even when he collaborates with other you tuber's I watch. I just can't do it. I enjoy your still showing a willingness to learn when someone tells you something. Instead of a constant uh huh, ya etc interrupting the individual trying to teach something. And I definitely don't miss that laugh 😅
Thank you for sharing and watching.
Love the story about the truck and the family. So cool that it runs, weighting for it to move! I do hope he gets time and money to restore the unit as it looks to be in pretty good shape all in!! Also good to see you still earning Wily!!
Thank you and thanks for sharing
Remind me to a tv series ... BJ and The Bear
Thanks for sharing
Amazing how old diesels just come right back to life. that starter was a pain to deal with. looking forward to see it drive.
Hopefully that video will be out next
Me being a fellow truck driver of 25yrs.The k100 flat top big bunk is my fav truck that i never got to drive since COE were long gone when i started driving. It would be great to see here going down the road again.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you Wiley. I could listen to you and your helpers forever❤😅.
Thank you for that
Kenworth build tough🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅

It is amazing how something as simple as that old truck keeps the memories alive for the family. That is impressive how it fired right up, you can tell that truck was taken care of. Very cool stories and another awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing that

It does
Mr. Wiley... Love your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you
Thanks for a super video Wiley and Jacob and family.
It was amazing and interesting and enjoyable.
What a great interview with the owner of the truck. He told a lot of history from the old days and the truck. How interesting that was in the stories he told. The old days were amazing.
That engine started right up and runs just perfect. The starter needed a working over but you got it going after that. Awesome job Wiley and others.
So enjoyed this video with the owner telling stories.
Great one Wiley. You did an awesome job!!!!!
Thanks so much.
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

It was a that kind of day, Day
Wily needs a beer after this one
Just A 😂
@@DontbeWily well maybe so haha
It fired right up like it was ready to hook up to a load and start the workday. This one and the Mack U model you did two or three videos ago fired up super easily, like they are both ready to get back to work.
They sure did. I guess it should not surprise me when that happens but it does
Thanks for watching
I just love the respect these men that live in this part of country-yes sir no sir the evening
Great work Wily 💪👏👏
Thank you
A truly interesting story listening to this feller talk how intriguing Thanx Wiley for this 1 ❤️
Thank you for watching
It's so cool hearing these old engines roar back to life.
Thank you for watching and i agree
On the cab jack, when going up the hydraulic pressure should release the latch then start moving the cab up. As the cab goes over center you flip the lever and you can jack it up, controlling the rate of rise over center. The same thing when lowering the cab. Reverse the lever start jacking it down, then as it comes back over center reverse the lever once more and control the rate of descent. It's a little tricky at first but once you do it it makes sense. There's probably a wire in the battery box that connects the 12 volt side of the electrical system to the key switch which connects the gauges, lights, charging system and AC/heat.
Thanks for sharing.
Hello wily and Jacob how about that wily you are the best I feel I am right there with you I loved the video the talking about the past the stories you make us all feel like we are part of your family can’t wait to you pull it right out of there again simple no electronics or computer simple the way it used to be yesterday thank you ken

Oh boy, I had that same issue with my 76 double bunker, I pumped the jack and all of a sudden a big bang only to find out it had pulled the passenger side dog house apart and twisted the cab front. It took a lot of work to fix that issue and a lot of cussing lol 🤣

We had one of those !! Nice semi
Thanks for sharing
As I recall, many of those cabover jacks had a two way valve. You flipped it one direction to raise the cab, then the other way to jack it back down.
They always put oil in mine too flip the cabover over,it leaked out
Thanks for sharing and watching
