That gas tank reminded me of a saying from my youth, "Ass, Gas or Grass, nobody rides for free".
Keep it coming. Nothing better than just fixing flat fenders.
Great to see an old flat fender being resurrected, keep these great videos coming...
Fred, I love that your vids are picking up views. I miss Dirt Every Day and love seeing you work on these old 4x4's. Keep it up please!!!!
pro-tip: always remove the fill plug BEFORE the drain plug....... it helps for may reasons. one, you can be assured you can refill the gearbox after draining. also, if say the transfer case was massively overfull and the transmission was low, there could be a bad seal between the two.
Been there!
Drained a trans on an old loader and the filler plug was rusted shut. Not a good day at all. Reach all my apprentices that on their first service nowadays.
My 46 has the PTO driving a winch. Don't much like drive shaft to the winch, thinking of bolting a hydro pump to the PTO and running the winch with that. Your floor pan is in way better shape than mine.😆
I had the same issue with a 1974 CJ5 I'm restoring. Transmission, transfer case, and both axles were full of water. I had to completely rebuild them all. I made a dust cover out of a scrap inner tube to cover the shift lever ball to keep water from ever getting in the transmission/transfer case again. Good luck with your project!
I’d love/hate a project like that! Great videos!
Love the Willys! Keep the videos coming sir! The videos have the wife doing the paperwork for her CJ3A!
Loving these videos!! When you get this going, start on that FC… wasn’t that supposed to be running by Dec-‘23😂😂
Good work Fred. I dig the new Jeep
I can’t believe I have never used air to fill like that !!! Cheers
You and Dave must be on the same wavelength - you banged your head on this vid and Dave caught his "side fat" as he called in his latest vid - glad you're both ok ☺️ love watching both you guys!!
Hmmm, would i rather watch Fred work on a awesome flat fender or some 4 door jeep that i see every time I look up! 😅 We all know how rare those JKs and JLs are? 😅 More weird/cool vehicles, less expensive shyt we can't afford! Back to the roots! Army Trucks/Flattys and other cool shyt that we could probably afford! I miss junkyard YJs and Dave! 😅
I have filled gear boxes with a large syringe. It seems like it would take a long time, but it is actually pretty reasonable and very clean.
This series is awesome. I could just watch hours and hours of this.
I had to laugh....sorry. I've done that so many times I lost count. In my younger days I'd cursed up a storm but my older days I pop right out with "low bridge"...😁
I need some Tube sock in my life you inspired me to put a R 2.8 in the wife’s Tj
Keep the videos coming on the flat fender class 101.1 I need to find one flat fender Jeep for my grandson and I to work on .
We will have to compare scabs on our noggins next time I see ya. I’m loving this Fred.
The old Jeeps are the cool ones. They're easy to work on and parts are surprisingly available. Even a transmission and transfer case can be rebuilt by pretty much anyone.
Better hurry up! Only a few more weeks until FFFR 😉
The acetone atf is old school just plain works stuff. The grass growing around the tank is just hilarious
Picked up a ‘46 CJ2a a couple weeks ago. Every time I watch one an episode of this series I get excited to get into the garage and tackle problems.
Yessss.. my love for crusty old jeeps grows with every new video.
Amazing lube pump tip!
The tank looks like it’s from a cj5. The filler neck is angled. A CJ2A should be straight. Could be why the hole for the fuel line is messed up.
Fred, good on you for not loosing your cool when you boinged your head- you had some speed when you hit.
I’m loving the videos of the flat fender. Learning a lot. Thanks Fred!!
Loving this flat fender series.
For that floor: wire brush it with a drill, then spray it with rustkutter. Then a couple days later spray it with Eastwood internal frame coating. I've tried a lot of different methods over the past 3 decades and this is what I find works the best so far.
To fill trans & diffs I use a $11 yard sprayer from ACE it works great even with thick gear oil and no risk of blowing out the bottle unless you really have a knack for destroying stuff . I uploaded a vid showing this a few weeks ago on my Mr.Espeedshop channel.
If you are going to deal with rusty vehicles it would be a good idea to invest in a set half sized sockets from Astro Tools. Makes quick work of rusted fasteners.
I was cheering for you. This makes me wonder if the transfer case in my 1988 F250 has something similar going on.
Great series, keep them coming!
Good stuff as usual! Keep it coming!
Great video Fred I really enjoy watching you fix that old Jeep it’s very exciting
Excellent content Fred!!!!
Thanks for more of this little Jeep. Looking forward to more work to get it running
Hey Fred, You might check C&C Equipment in Nashville, IN for old jeep parts. I have no affiliation, but I know carry a lot of parts. Just saw that watching different channels. As others have said, sure do miss Dirt Every Day.
Can't wait for the next one Fred! Thanks!
WD-40, DM ATF, and peppermint oil. I've unlocked siezed engines with a mix of these 3 things. For an engine 3-5 seconds od WD-40, a shot of ATF, and a few drops of peppermint oil thru the plug holes, reseal and leave at least 24hrs. The peppermint oil somehow provides a bit of heat.
love ur videos!
Great content!!!!
Dude!!! Great video!!! Wow water replaced the gear oil!!??✌️
Fill it with off-road diesel, then soak it overnight. It works great for stuck engines also.
Heck yeah more flat fender goodness!!
yes we do!
ouch , every time i i bump my head i remember why GOOBER on Mayberry wears that brimless funny hat
Love the flatty videos
Oh yeah diesel fuel is like a oily sponge . Suberged my cj 5 for three hours in a river . Drained everything and filled with diesel. That was 7 years ago and still runnin
This beauty is going to be so much fun scooting around! Take it on the go devil run?
If you want some new springs for that thing I have a set of the rancho 2.5” springs. I’m looking to go back to stock springs.
Wondering .... why you want to go back to stock springs? I'm on stock springs BTW. The extra clearance would be nice for trails?
When you have water in your t-case and in the trans, muriatic acid is your friend.
Sweet
Any plans to use the PTO in the future? It would make a great series of videos.
The best fix for a flaty is a Mahindra Roxor drive line swap . All you need is your tub and regie .
I wear a knit hat under the vehicle, even in the summer. ouch! I hate that.
Yes please rescue them don't buy one so many suffer stuck in cages waiting to be loved
Grass tank
👍👍😎
No whammys!!!
I understand how the transmission and tc could get water in them, but what the hell happened to the gear oil? It didn’t evaporate!
old jeeps leak.
water is heavier than oil as the gear box fills with water it pushes out the oil
Fred what Gear Oil do you use in your 40's-50's jeep gear boxes? People have some differing opinions on this!
probably 80-90w, but anything is better than rusty water.
Thank you for replying, but I was wondering more about the additives, or a particular brand. Some say that some types deteriorate some parts (bearings/bushings).@@4xFredWilliams
You need to look for ones that rated safe for yellow metals. (Older gearboxes use brass or bronze bushings). I believe GL4, rated are safe if you can still find them, but there may be some GL5 that are safe.
What brand tires are those?I have a Willy’s wagon they would look good on
coker tires!
@@4xFredWilliams thank you.
Agree, get a dog and don't just buy a dog, rescue a dog and give it a good home for life! 🐶
One should only rescue a dog if they know how & have the time to deal serious behavioral issues. Almost every rescue dog I have seen has come with serious behavioral problems due to the long term abuse they suffered before being rescued. It's no easy task dealing with these behavioral problems. Plenty of petting & love does very little to resolve these types of problems.
Maybe it’s synthetic water in your gear box’s? Lol
wate
Ouch. Dont bang your head for views pal.... lol
Lovin' the new episodes on the flat fender! Hope the drive train is going to be OK. Thanx for takin us along!
