In the summer of 2009 this 1945 Studebaker US6 with its Hercules JXD engine was brought back to life and driven 75 miles back to civilization after being abandoned in the remote Alaskan wilderness and "frozen in time" for two decades. Now in June 2013 the old war horse is getting some much needed TLC and a new lease on life. This truck was built on May 23, 1945.

я в шоке ему цены нету,золотые руки восстановил легенду!!!!
Отличная работа. Великий автомобиль, герой войны. Заслужил славу и уважение водителей Красной Армии.
A pure pleasure watching a real mechanic work! That era engine was a work horse.Very nice job Sir!
Thank you. Keep'em Rolling!
That was a fantastic restoration. A beautiful old engine given new life. I liked the simple yellow paint job. It wasn't a custom job, yet it stands out and you didn't mind it getting oily for the start up, brilliant. Thankyou for sharing your expertise. 👍
A professional job on both the engine and video. Thanks; and thanks for the quality of the comments
Thank you for watching!
Done this before? Hands down you just made #1 on my list of the best videos I have seen on youtube. You make it look easy & provide just the right amount of information. Awesome job! Thanks for sharing the video.
I love those L-Head sixes! Glad to see one come back to life.
Well,aside from your obvious talent as a mechanic, you make a beautifully paced video as well.I loved it. Keep making them! Thanks.
Those Hercules engines are impressive.
They were designed to be rebuilt and last forever. Not like the throwaway junk car and truck manufacturers build nowadays.
You have some neat old trucks.
I liked that you didn't talk . Excellent camera placement and captions took care of that. Good stuff
That was fascinating to watch. Love that it was just the sound of the work and the occasional text.
love seeing the old girls come back to life. great work :)
Knothing but a labor of love rescue and prevention and actually still use it is great and I thank you for letting her.go to someone else that know how to love and respect the war machines .I first seen your line up years ago and hadn't a clue Studebaker even made anything like that. For the service .Thank you for sharing your love with us God Bless you and yours
Brilliant 70yr old and still living I bet it could tell you some stories over it's life if only the old girl could talk
Great job just hope someone in 70yrs time keeps her going so she has more story's to tell how many modern FORDs GMCs CHEVYs TOYOTAs etc will still be running in 70yrs
Keep the good work !
I enjoy watching videos like yours. it would be even better if you explained roughly what you were doing as you disassembled and reassembled it. like your explanation of why you guys still have so many ww2 truck's. have a great day!
Cool video. My grandfather drove one those old macks logging after ww2. That was a bonus to see here
Es ist das mindeste was mann für diese trucks tuhen kann und das beste
ich ewundere solche arbeit wirklich.
MAN MÜSSTE SICH MEHR FÜR SOWAS EINSETZEN!!!!
absolute beast. that engine sound is so good. mucho satisfecho
Lots of great videos here. Thanks! There's much to learn about the oldies and it's good to see someone working on them.
Love the audio,pronto and ginger and the mud. I would watch all your videos. Great work, never stop!
If only America was run this way. Built to last, and if broken, able to be fixed back by the strong hands and ingenuity of men with skills and know how.
Brilliant video!
This was fun ! It was like I was there doing the work with my own two hands , I'd LOVE to have that truck , and I really like that shade of blue , too . Thanks for sharing !
I have enjoyed your video series on this Studebaker US6. I referred this video to a friend of mine who is originally from Alaska. I hope that he watched some of them.
I assume that these trucks were surplus from the ALCAN highway construction during WWII.
I am so glad that you are rescuing these trucks.
My paternal grandfather was an Aviation Machinists Mate II in the US Navy right after WW I (One.) He taught my father a lot of mechanic skills growing up in The Great Depression. My father used these skills to work as a mechanics assistant on a pipeline laying crew in the 1948-1950. They had to maintain a lot of surplus heavy trucks, bulldozers, and other heavy equipment that the crews used.
I learned a lot from my father growing up and have restored a lot of vehicles through the years. My father always talked about restoring a Studebaker US6 but we never found one to restore. I have no doubt that we could have done it.
His 1959 Studebaker Lark VI and my 1963 Studebaker GT Hawk VIII seem like toys compared to these Studebaker US6 trucks.
Thanks again for the videos.
The engine construction reminds me of a lot on the way a Ford model A engine goes together. Converted mine in insert bearings added adjustable valves like that. Very nice sounding engine
Nice Video!! I love your endless collection of these old road warriors.
In 1959, I lived 1/2 mile from the drive-in theater where a group of families left from Redford Michigan to Alaska...they were called the '59ers. I remember there being 2 of that style truck in the caravan. I've often wondered if they made it
(the trucks), that's a pretty long haul at 35 m.p.h. 😂
WOW that Clutch as smoked by pervious owner , I m thinking the over size tires and the Back Woods overloading and was never adjusted is a large part of why it failed , But now You are working to save the old beast I hope will all go well .
Never seen a front main seal like that one! Loved your video, thanks for posting.
I cant believe how quiet this engine sounds with just a manifold on,....& the growl when you crack the throttle.....I want one.....
Excelent video. Thank you for sharing this instructive piece with Studebaker funs.
Looks like fun! But also a lot of work. Great video!
No bullshit, only great work and satisfying machine noises. Keep up the good work :)
Cheers
think its pretty bad ass your restoring it. one of the coolest projects i've seen.
This sound is life itself
Great video.....You are very talented...... nice to see you saving the old iron part of Alaska's history can't wait for the next video:)
My grandfather was a heavy equipment and truck mechanic , he worked on the Canadian section of the Alcan Hwy . I'm quite certain he would have had his his hands into things similar to this .
I've never taken apart a flathead before, thanks for the education !
Back in the day we'd say the 6 cyl. firing order was "too young, too old, just right" Thanks for a great job.
Gosh, I remember that. 15 is too young, 36 is too old but 24 is just right! Now I date the ones that are 56 and say things like "Angie is a pretty girl but her Grandmother is smokin' HOT!" LOL!
Thanks for the memories!
the studebaker museum in south bend, indiana is a really good place to visit, lots to see.
this video deserves Oscar
That is a VERY nice Mack! I worked for them for 30 years. Thanks for the nice video
Flatheads and the sounds they produce
My father went through the war. Drove this the "Studebaker". Him - imagine - personally, my dad once had a chance to drive this Studer briefly in Odessa. Squeaky clean, stocked to the last key on the new tires. On the quay of the port there was a huge press that turned this "Studebaker" tapered in a can. Now. I his father, a former soldier BELIEVE. And I will carry his memory his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Let them know the TRUTH not only from the history books.
So how does it feel to bring so much pleasure to all your viewers??? Very well done.. You do know that there is a heck of a lot of envy out there!!!1 Thanks for the effort...Peace and fair winds to you sir...
Awesome! A Road Warrior comes back to Life! I like it!
Nice first crank! I love old Iron!
Only in America...Loved this mans work ...so amazing Great work and thanks for posting AlbertaDave
Thanks Dave. Keep'em Rolling!
Just A Simplistic Beauty !!!
Thanks for sharing this with us. I think I'll hit the replay button.
Cool vid. almost relaxing to watch. nice t see American iron brought back to life. thanks for sharing,
Thanks for this vid. It is nice to see someone who is willing to put in the work for these old trucks. What happened about the cracked valve seat though? Thanks again and please upload some more engine or gearbox rebuilds. Cheers, Paul.
nice job. i had a M-16A1 white halftrack. 6cyl. fun to rebuild these things. i found a supplier, besides jc whitney. i think it was southeastern parts or such. they even had track.
Yeah those flex hone brushes are awesome, any back yard mechanic can use em.
Your cat looks a whole bunch like mine LOL.
Nice video thanks for sharing.
BTW You totally screw up your water injection timing by not timing the water pump all you have to do is stick on finger in your ear and the other to the coil and the engine will tell you when it's timed LOL
Great job!!❤
WOW!! Neat video to watch. Engine sure does sound good. Love your collection of trucks, thanks for sharing!
un artiste belle réalisation merci du partage du travail et de la patience résultat du succès
Great job.the truck looks like she has led a hard life. Can't wait to se more.
You are a very lucky guy to have those wonderful trucks. My idea of heaven. Also you're lucky to have companies that can reline clutch driven plates. Also you have a good spares supply as well !
Чудова робота. Респект!
Great project for a worthy truck...
Awesome!! Glade you cold bring it back.
Fantastic, classics are always more fun to own!
Impressive work Sir! Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

У меня отец прошёл войну. Водил этот самый "Студебеккер". Ему - представляете - лично моему отцу - довелось однажды гнать этот Студер в Одессу. Вычищенный до блеска, укомплектованный до последнего ключика, на новой резине. А на причале порта стоял огромный пресс, который превращал этот "Студебеккер" в сплющенную жестянку. Так вот. Я своему отцу, бывшему фронтовику ВЕРЮ. И буду доносить память о нём своим внукам и правнукам. Пусть знают ПРАВДУ не только из учебников истории.
Amazing video with real sound, regards!!!
Very hot,classic engine and big work! Congratulations! Greetings from Poland!
Witam i dzięki za oglądanie !

Roger that, always have someone checking on me.
Thanks for watching!
Very Good job man.
Its like an art work to repair it
Also it was to pacefull watching this video
Bravo!
40 yrs. ago, my dad taught me about babbit packing seals, lapping in valvas, and flipping "ring" gears. But I have never seen that style of valve spring retainer... that was cool! Just curious, did you have to "file to fit" the piston rings? Great Video and a trip back in time, thanks!
damn shame studebaker didn't last longer they really built some good stuff
It was probably partially built by my great grandfather at the factory, he worked on the assembly line at Studebaker!
thanx for a beautifull vid of your cool place and work !!
This was a well-made video of an engine overhaul. You make it look easy, and I know it's not. Congratulations on saving that Studebaker US6. How long did this engine overhaul take? Tom
