I don't need the resistor but I have to say your channel is the best damn 40 series channel on the internet, not just YT, the whole damn internet! Keep up the great work!
great job! Did mine last year, it was making a horrible noise when I turned it on. I can't describe it exactly but there is a felt ring in blower motor that acts as a self lubricating bearing that had disintegrated. Found a replacement that was close at the hardware store and hit it with some light oil. Your technique is sooo much better than mine I always find or break some irreplaceable part. Well done! Luckily my resistor isn't "cactus" yet. hehe
I thought it was weird that you hadn’t dug into the motor itself. (Knowing how you do things) Then I got to your explanation. I totally understand why you wouldn’t want to do it again just for filming purposes. Haha! It took my daughter and I almost 3 hours to clean the motor and put it back together again. We lost the springs three times and then took four hands to keep the brushes back as we were reassembling. Such a pain! Works good though. I don’t need the resistor because mine is currently working. Leave it for someone who needs it. Great video!
Nice to hear your kids are helping you out too. Funny thing is I actually pull it apart twice the first time I pulled her apart to see how it all worked but put it back together the second time I pulled it apart for filming, but the footage was lost, along with some of the other footage for this episode I had to go back and refilm a couple of a bit just to fill the gaps. Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks for the great video. I am in the middle of a restoration of a 1970 FJ40 and I just took the heater blower out last weekend. Your video will help me rebuild it. Thanks for the help
Quality work as usual, only a few weeks ago i too replaced the blower resistor. One thing ill say when you reassemble the dash with your knobs, make sure the cable is well oiled and moves freely. i had a heap of trouble because mine was catching slightly and wouldn't even open the door. Also ensure the back of the knobs are crimped well and will not give way once you actually push the knob for the fresh air pull.This also goes for the heater valve cable. I only know this because after installing my factory ac i realised the door wasn't opening and it all had to come back out so i could re-crimp the back of the knob, was a fun day indeed.
That comment on the springs gave me a chuckle - took me forever to find one of them when they unleashed themselves on the outside world! I used some clear coat over the motor cap rather than repainting it - worked a treat and I think it looks pretty good too.
I need a resistor because I need to do everything from this video and you’ve really helped me know what I need to do and the resistor would polish the job off nicely! Great work, love your videos!
I need a resistor because my son is turning 16 soon and our 2 year old project is running out of time before he starts driving! We love the videos and enjoy watching them together!- Josh and Jake
I need a resistor because I've fixed all my wiring in my 75 FJ except for the blinkers and the blower motor. Mine is cracked like yours. I appreciate your instructions on the fix regardless! It's raining and 14 C where I am in the States.
I need the resistor because my 78 FJ40 project is taking many notes from you and your channel so i might as well have a custom part in it from my teacher.
I need the resistor because mines crumbling like a good cheddar! Also 🌵! Restored mine few weeks back and last piece to the puzzle! But will pull it back out to copy your sponge trick 👍 PS the bushes springs got me too!! Haha. Love your work👍
I need the resistor but I'm 3 years late :D but cheers for the walkthrough ill be doing this soon enough trying to get one blower working out of the two I have! cheers mate
Great job you have done there. I just finished mine. While following the video/instructions an idea popped: instead of painting black, can i just clean it really good and clear coat it? Used fine sand paper to clean, degreased it and hit it with cc. Guess what. Came out great!! Original color as well!!
I need the resistor because mine has carked it! I’ve jut finished school last year and I bought an absolute wreck of a 1983 HJ47, and being as young as I am my budget is very slim and I’m restoring my car back to original. I’ve spent the last 2 weeks completely re wiring the whole wiring harness (keeping all wire colours original) and the only thing that is missing is the fan resistor. I would really appreciate the help!
Love it. Another awesome episode! Luckily my resistor is working for now, but I'll now how to do up a new one when that time comes. Keep up the great work!
@@40ChannelCruiser It's a 1982 HJ47. I have a couple of videos of it on my channel from about 10 years ago. I just went back and looked at one and now I realise how bad the rust is getting. I better do something about it soon.
Hi Brian, it was just a cleaning foam from a local auto shop I had laying around. www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-bug-sponge/163181.html#q=sponge&lang=en_AU&start=10
FYI, Brillo makes a perfect foam cloth to us for the door insulation. We found a pack of 6 at Lowe's. They are 4.75 mm/0.187 in thick. So you an just trim to the door size and go.
That’s a sweet resistor!!! Who did you source the resistor and the new plug from? Also could you do a similar video on the rear heater? Love the channel!!!
Thanks Garran, you can get the 50w 1ohm Resistor from most electronic shops, I got mine from EBay. Unfortunately I don't have a rear heater. But I will be doing the main front inside heater box.
40 Channel thanks for the reply, I’m definitely gonna stay tuned. Very informative videos and I love that you get the whole family involved! Hope you had a good Easter and stay safe!
I need a resistor because I haven’t had a heater in my old 47 for coming on 8 years and with winter coming I have to wear a jacket and gloves going to work fencing at 5am.
JP Onefourseven 100% right mate. The resistor is just one part of it. I still need to rebuild the whole heater box as well install a heater tap and run hoses which were taken out by the last owner. I dropped a new 2h in it a few years back so it runs pretty good but haven’t gotten to the comfort stuff yet.
I need the part be cause I'm a young man rebuilding my hj45 Ute that I got off my dads mate for 200 dallors and a lot of parts a lre missing including the resistancer
hey mate first of all love the channel has help me out a lot with some of me electrical problems. ive been doing up a 40. bought it when i was 16 and turning 18 this year. finally starting to get everything working again (if interested insta is @back_yard_40s) and among a few things the resistor is cracked all the way through. but i don't care bout the resistor too much mainly wanted to say keep up the good work really loving to channel.
I need the resistor because I'm building a stretch FJ40 that will be a four door for my entire family (wife and three kids) to be able to go camping with me and the resistor would help to keep things warm in the new FJ. Troopy's aren't common here in the states so I had to get creative: th-cam.com/video/KcWmtlIVMyg/w-d-xo.html Also follow along on Instagram: instagram.com/fflood/ Thanks for your great videos! Super informative and love how you involve the whole family and give credit to God.
i need a resistor because i’m currently doing up my 40 and my resistor is cracked straight in the middle and also has no wires, bennys_hj45_build on instagram too, i love your channel too👍
Appreciate your smile and happy face to give us the best details about renew fj40.👍
Best Aussie slang of the video
“It’s totally cactus”
He is Risen indeed!

Another great detailed video from one of the best 40 series land cruiser youtube channel !
Awesome work mate and very kind of you to make someone's day with the give away prize
I appreciate the support for everyone who watches, It's just a way of showing my thanks.

You are the best in the explanation, I wish you success
I need the resistor because my wife will lose her mind if I spend another dollar on my 1976 FJ40 restoration. 😅
🤣 Yes, my wife is now on first name basis with our postman because of all the stuff I order for the 40.
Thx from the great white north . Been wanting to do this for years . You have made a very professional simple to follow video ..
Good Day Eh
Thanks mate, appreciate your comment.
Nicely done. I dont need the resistor as I dont have the FJ40 for it to go into yet, but one day........
Great video with awesome attention to detail. I need the blower motor resister because the only thing worse than a cold 40 is a cold toilet seat.
🤣 yep true that!
Wow.. your bracket fabrication game is on point! Up there with Bad Obsession Motor Sport :)
Thanks mate, you have some great tips on your Channel too! Keep up the great work!
You are a pro,great job! back yard camping great idea!

Great video! Dunno how I haven't seen your channel before. Now to watch the rest of your vids for inspiration and motivation to tackle my old troopy.
Thank you mate! Year model troopy do you have?

@@SounderAU just checked out your channel. Cool troopy.
Love your work, keep it up! Don't need the resistor, but curious what type/material was the sponge/foam you used?
Hi Brian, it was just a cleaning foam from a local auto shop I had laying around. www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-bug-sponge/163181.html#q=sponge&lang=en_AU&start=10

I need a resistor so I have an excuse to get a 40 project to put it in!
🤣 No excuse need, I give you permission to get one.😅
Mate bloody awesome content nice job if you don’t mind me asking where did you get the resister component
Thanks mate, I got mine from EBay.
Great thanks I found them
Fantastic video as always👍
Happy Easter!
Hi mate another great video....btw where did you buy your resistor from?
How’s the gas bottle setup for the heater 🤣 Loving the videos mate!
Made up a metal hook, bolted to the wall. Very nice to have a warm shed to work in!🔥
Do you still make the resistor? If so, Id love to buy one!
Great job..
I need a resistor because I haven’t had a heater in my old 47 for coming on 8 years and with winter coming I have to wear a jacket and gloves going to work fencing at 5am.
If the resister is broken the fan will still work but only on the high speed, if you have no heater fan than there are other problems.
JP Onefourseven 100% right mate. The resistor is just one part of it. I still need to rebuild the whole heater box as well install a heater tap and run hoses which were taken out by the last owner.
