you guys a very very good . its alot of work bringing back machines back from the sitting death. glad you have a partner. best of luck. will look forward to see it alive and viable .
Sure is, thanks for watching!😊
id love to have that little wrecker. she is a gem.
Yup pretty cool
Nice ! I really enjoy watching your videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Cheers from Eastern Ontario 🇨🇦.
I love comments like this I really appreciate it!!
It is hydro boost brakes with electric assist. Most likely the red knob under the steering wheel is idle cable for PTO.
Thank you for the info I was thinking the same thing but I think the knob is for somthing at the back cause it leads to the rear of the truck and I think it has a electric motor that pulls a cable for the pto
That's 1 sweet truck , roll on the next video.
Thank u soo much my friend
Hey Darrel, really cool this tow truck. i Grew up watching and loving the tow truck shows from US, my favorite one was the south beach tow series. That engine sounds so good you really know your way around engines. Wish you lived closer to me, i don't know much of anything about anything. Hope this video blows up for you like a big balloon :)
Thank you so much andris and what in the heck are u talking about???!!! You are AWESOME at what you do!! I’m amazed at how much you have accomplished!! I would love it if u were closer I’d hang out over at your place and eat all the fruit off your trees haha thanks for watching buddy 😊
Thank you for watching everyone!! Let me know what you all think could be causing the clutch to not build pressure and work along with the brakes
Addition to the fleet!
The clutch won't work with the rubber line, it will stretch more than the volume of fluid being pumped.
@@fixinoldjunk286 yea I was thinking that but it’s a pretty tough rubber line compared to the other ones we saw, I think most of our prob is air in the system or bad slave cyl
For sale ?
@@rescuegarage6616 I don’t think so man ☹️
amazing what you tackle to fix/get running..still am very impressed with the Gold Wing job..hope all is well with your health and family..peace..
Thank you very much my friend!!
A real nice tow truck 😊😊😊😊
Nice variety of projects👍👍👍
Thank you! 😊
that cummins 12 valve sound so sweet
It sure does I had plans on buying this, but the owner ended up selling it to one of his friends after I got it running.
@@The_Home_Pros well that’s messed up I was looking forward to seeing more of that truck on your channel
I know I really wanted that truck
@@The_Home_Pros Damn thats dirty.
See if I ever let you borrow my freightshaker again... lol
lol
I just subbed up! Watched a lot of your informative videos which are awesome!
That’s so awesome thanks man!!
Great video thank you, so glad I found you, hope all is good with you, don’t overdo it.
thank you so much that really means a lot to me
Great job Darrell, that's one sweet sounding 6BT.
Thank you very much dave it’s great to hear from you!! I really wanted to buy this from the guy but he ended up selling it to someone else after I got it running for him urrghh
@@The_Home_Pros these things happen unfortunately Darrell. I'm working on getting a pair of old gensets running but then disaster struck 😪
GREAT FIND .
Thanks Dwayne 🙂
You have no problem asking for help!
!
That's a purdy nice lookin old wrecker, it just needs a little TLC, once it gets that, it aughta start and run just fine.
U got that rite!
I think you got to push the clutch in and pull that red knob which will engage your clutch to your PTO when you let off the clutch
yea but the clutch doesn’t work at akl
Que bom seria se tivesse continuação!! Lavando ele, calibrando pneus...
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………………………..Of course you got it running, it has a Cummins!! Pre electric lift pump and 12 valve too, SWEET!!! I don’t have a clue about the hydraulic clutch but I have heard horror stories about bleeding them. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I love hearing from you my friend!!! And I hope you are doing well!! Hopefully the clutch is a easy fix but I doubt it, I always appreciate you watching thanks again!!
nice truck fora small wrecker she a good little gem
sure is
Man, you sorted that out in no time.
Your post was just the only option to make the mistake that I would
Well done, that should be a nice addition to the fleet for more rescue projects. Looking forward to seeing what you are able to do with it. Take care and be well.../B
Thank u very much bob
Kool truck.
Thanks ray
Looking forward to more of this one, love your videos. 👍👍
More to come! thank you🙂🙂
Good video, truck sounds good.
Thank u very much bill!!
No belts on the air compressor, We had an IHC dump truck with air over hydraulic brakes and no air no brakes.
Yea that was the a/c compressor though
Another great video, thank you for sharing and your good explanation 👍👍👍👍
Can't wait to see more vids on this beauty
I hope so to but the owner mite not want to sell it now ☹️
Red round handle pull after pushing clutch in let out clutch and pto should start for controls for tow equipment
thanks a bunch
red cable end is for pto. its a 12 valve cummins bet it needs a starter probably a flywheel ring gear
Thanks for watching rocky
Great to see another video,commented on your last vid and you replied,i’m very sorry to hear about your medical issues and hope it all goes well, you produce great content have a wonderful christmas cheers to you and your family
Hey Jeffrey glad to see u here and appreciate u watching, my health still isn’t the best but I am better than I was and I’m thankful for that
@@The_Home_Pros cheers mate you’re health is paramount wishing you and yours all the best and hope you prosper with the channel i really enjoy your presentation
@@jeffreygilchrist1330 thank u very much my friend!
That would make a great tow rig
It’s a awesome machine
Great job on freightliner, engine sounds great, get some keys and I bet alot will work, thank u from nyc
it’s a great machine!
I was just about to comment on you dipping the hydro tank for deisel when you found the fuel tank
lol I dunno what we were thinking… prob cause the side was hard to get to
Gotta love an old diesel
esp a cummins
Very cool!!!!!
thank u very much man!!
@@The_Home_Pros 👍👍
Oh I've become familiar with this real quick my workplace has one and it's problem is the clutch gets stuck in reverse if the pto is even a centimeter up. (OH it also is only a 2002 dump truck)
that is great info wish I would have known that!
Don’t burn the starter up!😂 That’s a great project truck that I would love to own.
haha yea to bad the owner sold it to a friend rite after I got it running
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. WORRY WORT. YOU MUST BE A NARCISSIST. THAT PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE DOWN FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL GAIN.
Love your work, Darrell! Praying for you to get this one. This would be an awesome series
thank u so much but unfortunently I won’t be able to because the guy sold it to someone else that offered him a lot of money ☹️😩 I was upset
@@The_Home_Pros Hope he paid you for your services.
@@51sicboy nope😔
Come on guys you can do this 😎👍🏾
Good truck
Man this was such a good video
I bet they know it all, s loved it, when you said something about the PTO, having to do, with a 2-speed rear end,. They probably jumped out their chairs. Call their buddies in goddess circle jerk on. All respect to you though.
This is why you always buy before you start the rig
yes, you got that right he ended up selling it to somebody else for a lot more
Connect your jump leads straight to the starter and by bypass the flat battery.🇬🇧🇮🇪.
I love when people pronounce Cummins with a g...
Lol u got me 😁
It just shows their ignorance.
Clutch could be the slave cylinder at the bell housing had one go bad on a truck similar
it was the top one clutch worked once fixed
Use gasoline an a rag over the intake tube instead of starting fluid. Diesels don’t like starting fluid. And the red knob is the pto cable.
Nice truck to save though
You got that right!
You don’t need to worry about having a clutch. Those tires are barely even bald.
hahah
Damn I want one so bad
it sure is awesome ain’t it
probably too late for this one but all cummins motors have a knob on the back of the fuel pump that you screw in to allow fuel to flow with any hydro involved give it a try
Awesome video
Thanks! glad u enjoyed it!
@@The_Home_Pros How could we contact with you?I wrote to you, but there isn't reply. Thank you.
@@hoists1829 you can email me I usually put it in the description but here it is again Alberici.darrell@gmail.com 🙂

That’s awesome man!! I’m really glad you checked out my channel, I was watching those old videos I took at jekel island the other day shit was funny as crap
@@The_Home_Pros lol we had some good times. Hit me up on the book face
Any updates on this truck?!

I have just subscribed to you
thank you Chris 🙂🙂
@@The_Home_Pros your welcome
Check the glove box for the keys

Should have just wired it up with a toggle switch and pushbutton in place of key 🔑
yea I know but didn’t have one and we ran a wire which worked fine
You have to save it the profile is great,please save me.
I want to but I think the seller is backing out on selling it ☹️
look under the ashtray!
we did
Hey I was born in 1991
I hope you rebuild it
awesome! I hope so to but now that we got it running he mite wanna keep it ☹️
Hey guys have you for got about one thing the speak ugs may need cleaning
What are speak ugs?
👍👍👌👌
Thanks Gary!
Hi got a truck similar to that I'm looking for pintle hitch fifth wheel adapter I'm wondering if that wrecker has one and if so would you be willing to sale ?
I beleive it does have one however now that I got the truck running I don’t think thr seller wants to sell it ☹️
@@The_Home_Pros okay thanks let me know if they change there mind.
part 2 please
I’m planning on it
You can make some money with that tow truck.
it sounds as if you have bad fuel (water in the fuel lines ) ? or in the system aomewhere.
Stephen this thing ran amazing!!
What did you do with the little freightliner tow truck?
the guy sold it from up under me after I got it running
👍👍👍😁
Thanks tom
will we see more of this truck?
unfortunently no the guy sold it to someone else after getting it running
are you buying or selling that little wrecker?
I’m not sure I’ve been trying to buy it but I dunno if seller wants to sell
What happened to the wrecker? Open stories drive me nuts. Wait, I'm already nuts. lol
the owner sold it to a friend after we got it running
@@The_Home_Pros Would have taken a lot of work but that thing can be sweet. Thanks for the heads up.
Where is the part two on this truck..
The guy sold it from under me after I got it running
@@The_Home_Pros What an asshole
Red knob is to engage pto
thank u 🙂
Nice video. I was quick to subscribe. I’m trying to grow my TH-cam channel just like you. I like the content.
thanks man!! I subbed to your channel keep doing what you’re doing and your channel will take off, I love that trooper man how much did u pay for it? I want to find me one
@@The_Home_Pros I have just under $4,400 in it right now.
Probably need a new battery or batteries whichever.
Sure does
I like to have that.
It’s purdy cool
@@The_Home_Pros what you going to do with it
Is it for sale and how much I would love to have it
it’s not my friend
Are you filming with the same era camera? Lol
Lol video hasn’t finished processing
To me it looks like air assisted brakes
a lot of trucks have that system but this is all hydro
Red button PTO yellow button brakes Release .brakes need 80 to 100 psi to release But must not be a belt on the air compressor or a bad compressor because the time it was running didn't hear air release valve pop off or when press brake pedal didn't hear air. PTO start the truck must be in Neutral brakes on push the Clutch in pull the PTO out put truck in 1st gear and slowly let the clutch out
It has hydro brakes
That much starting fluid it would run off of it
😊
5 months later and no more on this FL70.
Man I’m sorry after we got it running he told a friend of his and the guy came and bought it right out from under me, I was pretty upset
Prime has
Why people pronounce it Cummings
...because they're ignorant. 😂
Ongoing joke
D/F
?
Anhtor part
the owner sold it under me😔
Copy russian smal truck..zil 5310(bull)
🙂👍
Stop already your gonna cook starter duhhhh homer
I kno it was a tad long but it’s fine
