LOL... I think he should decide what he wants to keep when done, what he wants to sell, and the junk. Buy what you can work on for your own use or for TH-cam videos. Not everything is a 'deal' if you can't get to it. And my 75 years of experience tell me that what you don't buy today you'll find again in the future. I love the channel and Matt seems to do really nice work. My only point is don't allow the yard and the new shop to become a junk yard.
@laughton57 better him to park it there than it get ground up for scrap honestly. Kinda like the stock market, its an investment for the future and you aint lost money unless you sell when its low.
@@DieselCreekLook at it this way. You start, get distracted or hung up on something and then your brain has time to churn on it. Then the part comes in and you get to start again looking at it fresh.
Thank you for making this video. I think I speak for all us OG viewers when I ask you to please, make one of these annually. Love the behind the scenes stuff!!
How much for the little international loader with blown head gasket or timing out ? The free one u got from Michigan just incase I missed a different loader
@@B.rad88 he's already in trouble on the regular. It's not like she doesn't know or doesn't support his decisions. His channel is an asset to them both.
I think Matt intends to build a container house, fits his skill sett and personality perfectly. the crane is perfect for setting your containers in place, love it.
59:24 . That is part of the reason you built your dream shop. So you could work on stuff out of the elements and in comfort. I like hearing the term RESTORE . People just don't realize how well things were built in the past. I am glad and PROUD that you are part of the save and restore old iron group. Our past can be modernized, and updated, but shouldn't EVER be forgotten. Thank you.
The time before the money men got involved. When things were built up to a standard as opposed to down to a price. This side of the pond when ‘Made in England’ meant something, nowadays you’ll be hard pressed to find anything made here thats any good ..... ( there are exceptions obviously, but we’re not the manufacturing country we used to be) Sad times.
@@stevebrown5145the “money men” have been involved with England for hundreds of years now. Not sure when you think that cutoff was, but it’s a lot further back than you think
I don't see any Junk. I just see more projects. If anyone can bring back these pieces of equipment it's you. I'm looking forward to your videos. You're one of my favorite YT channels.
1:15:20 the new Shop easter-egg looks like a late 60s or a 70s F100. I'm not a Ford Guy, but I appreciate the classics. Time constraints: it took me 2 days to watch this video..
Your winter will need to be 5 years long in order to get all of those projects done. I love it! Your dad will have a great time at your place when he retires.
Am a retired machinist, starting my 81st trip around the the sun. Built wooden ship models now and am enjoying life!! I do enjoy your channel and watching you work, keep on keeping on!!! Happy new year and stay safe!!!
When you run the air lines underground from your compressor, if you have not already, you should consider another dryer on the incoming side. Underground air lines will condensate a lot of moisture.
Hey mate. Just a quick message to say thanks for all the content. I’ve been really enjoying all your videos. I’ve learned so much from you. Have a happy new year and I look forward to more videos next year.
Matt you caught us up on everything I think, except the fam. A cameo of the fur babies and Ava is due. Also you mentioned your dad a couple of times (a rarity), hopefully he will be joining you from time to time (that would be cool). I’m sensing you didn’t fall far from the tree. I enjoy every episode, I can’t wait for 2024 episodes and a homebuild in the future. ✌🏻
It's your channel you do you if we are still here we will watch. Projects take time especially when you are doing them by yourself. Parts sometimes ain't readily available. Continue doing your best.
Matt as the year draws to an end I wanna thank you for your vids. As a time served tradesman now 20+ years away from the tools I enjoy what you do. Remember barrier Cream or Gloves! All the Best for 2024.
Matt, I've seen everyone of those projects because I was here when you first started and the compressor was new to me. Never saw one quite like that and yes I remember when you first started working on the farm where your dream shop is now. Keep up the good work I never miss a video you put out. I got a little behind through Christmas but I'm catching up.slowly.
"Great to see a youngster such as you, keeping the torch alive on those type projects you have surrounded yourself with", the future is secure knowing Matt is constantly upping his game / skills / tools/ bldgs...THANKS FOR SHARING (THE JEEP IS TOO COOL)
Really looking forward to the bridge crane and all the details about how you install it. I know it's a huge project so no pressure on doing it, just letting you know that I'm interested in it. Good luck!
Matt, I truly enjoy your channel without a doubt. My wife and I have started many jobs and projects big and small and on the simple ones I say " Honey this should take just a few minutes. Well, now when those words leave my lips, she chuckles and says, Right. I hope I get to see them all completed as you do. Matt, ask your wife to help when possible it will give you more time together and she will appreciate even more who and what you are. I know I have seen her help early on, and she will appreciate you and all you do for years to come. Great walkaround Matt I certainly enjoyed it. We in Pennsylvania have had some strange weather so far, but I know we will have to pay for the easy weather. Thanks, Matt
You showed us the parts washer, using heated water and sodium hydroxide. This brought back memories from my farm days. My Dad and I borrowed a gas powered, diesel fired, steam cleaner used to clean and disinfect mink pens, and used that machine to pressure wash any machinery we were restoring. It was not a large machine, but it sure made quick work of cleaning up and prepping a machine for painting. In the absence of such a machine, my idea is for you to take the hot water hydroxide fluid and use a pressure washer to apply, you may be able to strip the paint, grease and rust off of your entire machine, rather than use a sandblaster. Much quicker, less messy and strips everything down to bare metal for a perfect clean. Just a thought.
I too am glad you made this video. Kind of catches me up on some things. I’ve seen most of them. And I’m glad I’m not the only one with projects that need working.
Great channel. I remember my grandfather teaching me to drive his Farmall tractor in the mid 1950's. My experiences on the farm in Iowa always stuck with me, after a teaching career in New York and California I retired back to Iowa, the one place that always felt like home to me.
What an empire. But it’s your empire. My personal favorite was your tow behind roller. That video of you fixing that thing and the rusted bearing? Oh man..what a hit. Happy New Year Matt :)
Ok, I don’t comment on much. Mid 60’s RN taking care of special needs child 24/7. Enjoy your surgical approach to mechanical issues. I also enjoy your comment on diesel creek which I watch. Thank you!will try to send this to diesel creek also! Happy New Year’s!
I put more miles than I care to think about in old International Loadstars . No telling how many thousands of bushels of grain and how many loads of sawdust I moved . They had the 250 AC system , which was 2 windows down and 50MPH . The heaters and blower fans worked great though , and would give you a mouse turd shower like you never imagined possible .
It’s after 10pm in Scotland but I’ve still got to watch. Thanks for sharing this with us, all the best for 2024 Matt. Perhaps you could make this a semi-regular thing, every year or two at this time of year? Awesome to see so many projects that I recognise having followed you from the early days of the International dump truck build and the roller re-engine projects %
Thankfully we are getting moisture mid mid west when we are in drougt. Like tri-state area Illinois Missouri Iowa. Hopefully you’re having good weather over there
The ground conditions here (Edinburgh, Scotland) are very similar to what’s just been shown in this video- everything is water logged and my horses are in nearly a foot of mud when it would often be completely frozen this time of year.
@@kevinmccusker1866 Are you related to the McCusker's that settled in Montana then migrated to California? If you are, I worked with Mike for years.....
Matt- thanks for the tour, you have a lot on your plate. Priorities are always a challenge, I know all too well, but PLEASE get that beautiful Monarch moved into the shop sooner rather than later. The temp and humidity swings outdoors will turn that beautiful lathe into a ball of rust in no time at all, and that would be a shame to put it mildly. All the best to you in 2024 and beyond! Bill
Awesome projects video. You should use chemical stripper on your aluminum cab don’t sand it to strip. Your mileage may vary. Prep it just like aircraft. Jmho 👍
Number one. Thanks thanks for saying something about that 977. number two that looks like a sweet obs ford it’s hard too tell for sure But the little bit you can see that thing looks nearly brand new. It doesn’t even look dusty.
You need a new storage garage for all your projects it is sad to see it rust outdoors, maybe next year you get a sponsor willing to give you a huge storage hall that would been awesome. I was not aware you had that much stuff around your workshop, its nice to see you fix up the old machines and not just go buy new machinery. Wish you a happy new year and look forward to see more of your project in 2024.
Many thanks for the grand tour Matt. One thing i am looking forward to is a video on the plans for your new house. Without any doubt, you are my No. 1 favourite channel to follow along with. Keep up the great work, "I love it all, big or small". David in the UK.
This comment is about heating your shop floor with hot water!!! Don't run boiler temperature water in or under that concrete. Start just above floor temperature water and increase the temperature slowly until the floor temperature is about 70°F maximum!! Hot water will cause too rapid expansion and crack and break your floor!!!!
So glad you mentioned the Cat D4 Dozer. I've seen you drive past it in so many videos and been frustrated when it was not covered in other "Tour Of The Yard" type videos. When you and Mike were working on his $500.00 D2 I was like "What about YOURS ??" Be nice to see you get yours going.
I love that beater with a heater. That was my dream truck when I was your age, right down to the color. Hey, its only junk if it doesn't run. If it runs, it has utility. The only caution is getting too many non-runners so that you don't have time to get them all running. You are the key to the whole puzzle. If you can take a non-runner and get it to run, it has utility. If you get overwhelmed and bogged down so that you don't have time or momentum to work on them, you end up with a field of junk. Ask me how I know that.
I'm amazed at how many of these projects I remember you working on. I've spent a lot of hours watching you work. Thanks for bringing us along and sharing your passion with all of us. Looking forward to seeing that that truck is in the shop that we can't see - I suspect it's a 70s Ford but we'll have to see when you spill the beans! Happy New Year Matt!
I found this channel about 4 months ago, it's offical now I've watched everyone of your videos, and hit the thumbs up button every time, you remind me of myself when I was your age, I'm 69 and semi-retired from my own home repair business, I've never been around diesel engines like you have, so I have learned alot from you, I still get giddy just like you when I get an old lawnmower running. God bless and happy new year, I'm looking forward to the next video.
Very much the same situation as you but have been hooked for years and enjoy learning new stuff about things I never had the time to get into. How about that nose to the grindstone, dog on a bone attitude?
I just had another guess at what Matt might do with the 6-20 foot containers. Maybe some custom covered area for sandblasting and painting equipment. Or maybe a dedicated homemade paint booth. How cool would that be.
Matt, thanks for the tour, enjoyed it, I can remember seeing about 90% of the videos you made on the machines you had talked about, plus projects not involving machines. Been a great viewing year for this ole boy sir.
The amount of fun, memories and all that gone along with your adventures is amazing, thanks a lot for this, I have never asked for it, but I wanted it as much as so many more than me 😄 Happy new year, Matt!
One of these days . . . . . . I admire how many projects you have coming up. We are going to be in for a treat! I was wondering about mobile home/camper thing that was shown so many times as yo drove around. Don't buy anymore Matt - you have loads to keep you going in 2024!
My wife is always asking me why I spend so much money on eBay, baring in mind I spend £10 or £20 buying things that I plan to repair or flip etc, I sat her down in front of one of your older videos to a newer one, she said it is very lucky we don’t live out with loads of land and a large bank balance. So you have kept her quiet now lol 👍 happy new you and your family 🥳
Quite the collection and work orders! As a small property owner starting from dirt I arrived with your container shop build videos, my needs/wants are an old dump like the Loadstar, backhoe like the Payhoe, and after that its stuff like the D4 and the International loader that I hope to find to restore, a Deuce would be high up there or old C60 so I watch those video keenly! But I did watch the floor scrubber! Like you I prefer no computers or wires! And you taught me a light plant is a gen set! Look forward to 2024 and more stuff!
Matt, seeing all the equipment you have rescued over the years is like taking a step back in time. Just thinking of all the hard working machinery that has been given a second chance at life by you is mind boggling. I just have to mention that this has been the weirdest winter we've had so far in many, many years...constant rain, rain, rain. Usually I would have used the snowblower about 6 or 7 times by now, but haven't even used it once yet. Happy New Year my friend, take care😁
I just want to say thank you for the videos, I've been avidly watching your channel since I found you during the days of the church renovation attempt, and I've always found them really engaging. My father was a heavy machinery mechanic, and watching a lot of your content is a lot like returning to my childhood. The days of staring up at loaders with tires bigger than me and wondering how in the heck they got them on there. We lost him in 04 and those days are long gone, but content like yours keeps those memories fresh. Thank you. Keep doing what you do.
It’s humbling to see a young person willing to put in the time to learn how to repair these machines. My projects are way smaller than yours. I’m restoring a 1961 Cub cadet right now and the next one is a Honda trail 70 so way smaller than your projects. Recently found your channel and I am really enjoying watching your videos, keep them coming!!
Appreciate the tour, man that’s an impressive to do list! +700k subs and +400k views in just a few hours on this vid as at now…. More impressiveness right there ! HNY to you and Ava and the pups
Привет, Мэтт! Неведомые алгоритмы Ютуба рекомендовали твой канал. С каким удовольствием я наблюдаю как развивается твой бизнес и это все благодаря твоему кропотливому труду 7 дней в неделю! Очень нравится твой юмор и твое отношение к старой технике. Спасибо тебе за оптимизм! Желаю тебе в Новом году крепкого здоровья и благополучия! Мирного неба нал головой!
translated of the above Hi Matt! Unknown TH-cam algorithms recommended your channel. With what pleasure I watch how your business is developing, and it's all thanks to your hard work 7 days a week! I really like your humor and your attitude to old technology. Thank you for your optimism! I wish you good health and prosperity in the New Year! Peaceful skies with your head!
You will need more than one lifetime to complete your projects, and you will of course add to the junk you already have. Keep it up cause we like watching you work!!
Great video Matt,thank you for showing us all the future projects you have in store. Wishing you and the family a Happy New year as well. Thank you for sharing 😀
Matt, I would like to wish you and your entire family a safe, happy, and prosperous New Year! I am very much anticipating many new projects in '24!!! Thanks a million for all of the entertainment!!! I thoroughly enjoy all of your content and shenanigans!🤪 Again, best wishes! The Danimal Crew
Thanks Matt, that's got to be one of the better videos you done. I'm sure I speak for many by saying that it feels like we know you a whole lot better now! Looks like an exciting year coming up. Thanks for sharing!
About the gehl 'leafblower' My dad has made a big leaf blower out of a strawblower (kinda the same thing). And the air inlet is a big hole in the midle of the housing and that works perfectly
This was a great review. I've been watching for over two years (plus I went back and watched ALL the old stuff) and very much enjoy the channel. Happy New Year to you and yours.
I had an old International just exactly like yours. I used it for about 20 years and then gave it to my partner about 10 years ago and he still uses it.
Place your Cub Cadet mowers and parts and the Farmall parts into one of those green storage boxes. Clean up all the small stuff into those boxes. Would also suggest completing all the small one-to-two-fix projects just to get 'em finished and out of the way. Good winter projects. Really enjoy the videos, Matt. Keep 'em coming! 😀👍👍

Take a drink every time Matt says "one of these days" and you'll be hungover well into the new year!
hungover? You mean in an alcohol induced coma!! haha
LOL... I think he should decide what he wants to keep when done, what he wants to sell, and the junk. Buy what you can work on for your own use or for TH-cam videos. Not everything is a 'deal' if you can't get to it. And my 75 years of experience tell me that what you don't buy today you'll find again in the future.
I love the channel and Matt seems to do really nice work. My only point is don't allow the yard and the new shop to become a junk yard.

90% of what he owns is junk, that know-body wants to use for construction, therefore it is not an investment just junk!@@chrisduncan2626
It warms my heart to see that someone has more unfinished projects than me.
me too!!!
I'm the type of person who hates unfinished projects. I generally only have 1 thing going at a time because I need to finish everything that I start.
LOL! Mine too!

Yah starting is easy! 😂

HAY MATT were in the world are you we miss you
You are making your dream home out of those containers !!
🇨🇦🤓👍
That was my first thought too.
Camarata Castle 2.0? I bet he is building another container type roof building but either 2 high or 2 long.
Not unless he cut the beams off all of them. And he said he is only doing that to the one.
Many thanks for the grand tour Matt.
One thing i am looking forward to is a video on the plans for your new house.
Without any doubt, you are my No. 1 favourite channel to follow along with. Keep up the great work, "I love it all, big or small".

much appreciated!
This comment is about heating your shop floor with hot water!!! Don't run boiler temperature water in or under that concrete. Start just above floor temperature water and increase the temperature slowly until the floor temperature is about 70°F maximum!! Hot water will cause too rapid expansion and crack and break your floor!!!!
I was upset not seeing Christine, so glad she is still around and hope to see the Christmas light display.
I'm patient,can't believe I've watched you collect pretty much of this equipment, thanks for the dog and pony show,enjoyed🤗😎🤗😎
Thanks for bringing us up to date.
So glad you mentioned the Cat D4 Dozer. I've seen you drive past it in so many videos and been frustrated when it was not covered in other "Tour Of The Yard" type videos. When you and Mike were working on his $500.00 D2 I was like "What about YOURS ??" Be nice to see you get yours going.
I know! I do wanna do it I love those old cats
On to a million+ subs in 2024! You deserve it. Quality videos and always super interesting! Happy new year and all the best for 2024 Matt and mrs!
Thank you! You too!
I love that beater with a heater. That was my dream truck when I was your age, right down to the color. Hey, its only junk if it doesn't run. If it runs, it has utility. The only caution is getting too many non-runners so that you don't have time to get them all running. You are the key to the whole puzzle. If you can take a non-runner and get it to run, it has utility. If you get overwhelmed and bogged down so that you don't have time or momentum to work on them, you end up with a field of junk. Ask me how I know that.
By the way, Keith Rucker is working on a Monarch 612 right now. That might be useful to you as you get yours going.
I'm amazed at how many of these projects I remember you working on. I've spent a lot of hours watching you work. Thanks for bringing us along and sharing your passion with all of us. Looking forward to seeing that that truck is in the shop that we can't see - I suspect it's a 70s Ford but we'll have to see when you spill the beans! Happy New Year Matt!
Yup, '71 or '72 Ford. Looks shiny, too!
I'm guessing 73-77 ford, he showed the engine being started at the end of one of the other videos, happy new year!
Glad to see I'm not the only one to see the ole gal a few times in the background!
Think is, you are actually bringing equipment back to life, which is way, way more than most of us are doing with our projects.....
I found this channel about 4 months ago, it's offical now I've watched everyone of your videos, and hit the thumbs up button every time, you remind me of myself when I was your age, I'm 69 and semi-retired from my own home repair business, I've never been around diesel engines like you have, so I have learned alot from you, I still get giddy just like you when I get an old lawnmower running. God bless and happy new year, I'm looking forward to the next video.
Very much the same situation as you but have been hooked for years and enjoy learning new stuff about things I never had the time to get into. How about that nose to the grindstone, dog on a bone attitude?
Sure do enjoy your videos Matt your so thorough on explaining things. Enjoyed your tour.
I just had another guess at what Matt might do with the 6-20 foot containers. Maybe some custom covered area for sandblasting and painting equipment. Or maybe a dedicated homemade paint booth. How cool would that be.
This video is super interesting, thank you for sharing your interests.
Matt, thanks for the tour, enjoyed it, I can remember seeing about 90% of the videos you made on the machines you had talked about, plus projects not involving machines. Been a great viewing year for this ole boy sir.
Glad you enjoyed it
The amount of fun, memories and all that gone along with your adventures is amazing, thanks a lot for this, I have never asked for it, but I wanted it as much as so many more than me 😄
Happy new year, Matt!
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of these days . . . . . . I admire how many projects you have coming up. We are going to be in for a treat! I was wondering about mobile home/camper thing that was shown so many times as yo drove around. Don't buy anymore Matt - you have loads to keep you going in 2024!
YES !!! I’ve always wanted a detailed “walk around”. Thanks Matt for another year of great content. (Seth from North Carolina)
My wife is always asking me why I spend so much money on eBay, baring in mind I spend £10 or £20 buying things that I plan to repair or flip etc, I sat her down in front of one of your older videos to a newer one, she said it is very lucky we don’t live out with loads of land and a large bank balance. So you have kept her quiet now lol 👍 happy new you and your family 🥳
Glad I can help 😂
Quite the collection and work orders! As a small property owner starting from dirt I arrived with your container shop build videos, my needs/wants are an old dump like the Loadstar, backhoe like the Payhoe, and after that its stuff like the D4 and the International loader that I hope to find to restore, a Deuce would be high up there or old C60 so I watch those video keenly! But I did watch the floor scrubber! Like you I prefer no computers or wires! And you taught me a light plant is a gen set! Look forward to 2024 and more stuff!
Matt, seeing all the equipment you have rescued over the years is like taking a step back in time. Just thinking of all the hard working machinery that has been given a second chance at life by you is mind boggling. I just have to mention that this has been the weirdest winter we've had so far in many, many years...constant rain, rain, rain. Usually I would have used the snowblower about 6 or 7 times by now, but haven't even used it once yet. Happy New Year my friend, take care😁
I just want to say thank you for the videos, I've been avidly watching your channel since I found you during the days of the church renovation attempt, and I've always found them really engaging. My father was a heavy machinery mechanic, and watching a lot of your content is a lot like returning to my childhood. The days of staring up at loaders with tires bigger than me and wondering how in the heck they got them on there. We lost him in 04 and those days are long gone, but content like yours keeps those memories fresh. Thank you. Keep doing what you do.
likewise, the Church reno is when I subbed, mainly interested in diesel equipment, but it got me hooked either way
It’s humbling to see a young person willing to put in the time to learn how to repair these machines. My projects are way smaller than yours. I’m restoring a 1961 Cub cadet right now and the next one is a Honda trail 70 so way smaller than your projects. Recently found your channel and I am really enjoying watching your videos, keep them coming!!
Thank you, Matt- Perfect end to this year, and a primer for next year's adventures.
This video brought so many good memories! It's amazing how clean he keeps his property. Great video Matt!!
Appreciate the tour, man that’s an impressive to do list! +700k subs and +400k views in just a few hours on this vid as at now…. More impressiveness right there ! HNY to you and Ava and the pups
Great vid
The Monarch is a great find. Sams L&S caught my interest too. Probably the finest lathes ever made
This is an amazing gift Matt!!!!!😍

Thank you for the tour Matt! Loved the video! What a wonderful playground you’ve created! Right….a playground that’s a lot of work,
Can't WAIT to see the video on Heating the Shop!
You will need more than one lifetime to complete your projects, and you will of course add to the junk you already have. Keep it up cause we like watching you work!!
That's the plan!
@@DieselCreek Nobody Cares! Work harder!!
Great video Matt,thank you for showing us all the future projects you have in store. Wishing you and the family a Happy New year as well. Thank you for sharing 😀
Same to you!
You have the full arsenal and then some of the classics. Been watching for a long time. Do videos and things on your time.
Matt, I would like to wish you and your entire family a safe, happy, and prosperous New Year! I am very much anticipating many new projects in '24!!!
Thanks a million for all of the entertainment!!! I thoroughly enjoy all of your content and shenanigans!🤪
Again, best wishes!
The Danimal Crew
Happy new year!
You're going to make one hell of a bunker with all those containers
That workbench is bad-ass. It really came out nice.
Thanks Matt, that's got to be one of the better videos you done. I'm sure I speak for many by saying that it feels like we know you a whole lot better now! Looks like an exciting year coming up. Thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed your program today, Matt, wishing for you and your wife a very happy and a blessed new year
About the gehl 'leafblower'
My dad has made a big leaf blower out of a strawblower (kinda the same thing). And the air inlet is a big hole in the midle of the housing and that works perfectly
This was a great review. I've been watching for over two years (plus I went back and watched ALL the old stuff) and very much enjoy the channel. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Thanks Matt for the update looking forward for the new year Oh by the way Happy New Years to you and your family
I used to drive an old IH Loadstar 1600 with a 345. That truck was a beast. Wish I could find it to restore it. Lucky you have one!
Happy New Year. Looking forward to all your 2024 projects and hopefully 1 million subscribers.
Congratulations on 700,000 it's well deserved 👏
I had an old International just exactly like yours. I used it for about 20 years and then gave it to my partner about 10 years ago and he still uses it.
If we had a lot more fellows like yourself, to populate this world, we would all be alot better off. thank you very much! 🙂
Thanks Matt for the yard tour video
update. Sounds like a lot of stuff
to be worked on
in the coming year.
Place your Cub Cadet mowers and parts and the Farmall parts into one of those green storage boxes. Clean up all the small stuff into those boxes. Would also suggest completing all the small one-to-two-fix projects just to get 'em finished and out of the way. Good winter projects. Really enjoy the videos, Matt. Keep 'em coming! 😀👍👍
Thank you Matt for doing this video, it is fantastic.
A happy new year to you and your family.
2024 is going to be epic, I can feel it!
