Mr. Dactyl your "youthful" spirit is a huge part of your overall charm. It is part and parcel of why you & your talented family have succeeded with your channel. Sometimes that same spirit leads us afoul of physics!! Great video as usual. All my best to you and your family.
I really appreciate TD s mechanical skills. The Heald Is an all American specialty vintage vehicle that fell into the right hands. It's running and useful again with some improvements that dont ruin its character. I'm glad the transmission didn't have major damage.
Taryl you inspire us always jr, uncle Andy , ronnie, taryl, your cousin , your whole staff that we appreciate and don't forget elkskin great family all you are to us
I have a '74 Simplicity 10 HP 3-speed manual tractor, and after rebuilding the transmission, bevel gear box, and axle 20 years ago now, I consciously try not to abuse the tractor. Too many unobtainable parts and I don't know if I could find another donor transmission. Glad to see this was only a key. That transmission looks pretty well designed.
I’m pretty impressed with the gear works in that, surprisingly it looks pretty well built something from the past for sure it wold be too costly to build that today.
You HAVE inspired me! Now I just need to find one to fix up. I need a rig like that for wood hauling and yard work. Definitely need the cold drink holders 👍
Resurrecting any old one of them would be cool...and another great TH-cam experience. I hope that you share. Even modifying a modern UTV is juicy. Yeah! Rolling out of yir garage and doing yard work...like a BOSS! A rig with every tool necessary, at a arms length, would save half the work and time. ...more time to golf.
Love the Heald Hauler. All the work you've done is great. You sure Get Er Done Taryl. Tina Turner said that we don't need another hero...but, you're my hero! Your channel is great and so are you. Rust never sleeps. And there's yer dinner
I have a VT-840 Super Bronc that has a HM80 Tecumseh in it with a 40 series Comet torque converter in it. It used to be a VT-812 with a 30 series torque converter in it, but it was too many horses for the 30 series torque converter. I like it much better after that improvement. I bought it and put it together in about 1980. We also have a Super Tryke that had a 11hp Briggs until the plastic governor gear broke. The weights that were on the governor then broke the piston skirt off and went through the timing gears creating much carnage. I decided to repower the tryke with a 13hp Honda clone and have been very happy with it. We still use them both around our dairy farm. Ron Kimball used to work for Carl Heald. He started a company called Power Tec that sold many parts for them. I have bought parts from him, but I do not know if he still does or not. Ron told me he helped nail the doors shut when Carl Heald closed.
Hi Martin, I have basically the same hauler as Taryl, except mine has the dump truck bed thing. I am not a mechanic, but when I opened my comet fnr it looks like a nuclear bomb went off inside, I wish it was just a key. All the gears are chewed up beyond recognition and all the planetaries in that differential thing are in millions of little pieces. You wouldn't happen to know what I should look for to replace it with would you? The original motor is long gone and someone scabbed in one of those predator vc660(?) engines into it. I had to cut both axles(?) off just to get it out to look at it because everything was welded to every other thing.
Looks great taryl and you gave me some good ideas for my lawnmower trailer, I have some of the plastic soda creates I wasn't sure what to use them for but now I do . Thanks again for sharing.
I believed when you’re wheel came off the ground then came back down and re-connected with the grounds you snapped a gear in the trans but happy it was only a key ! Beautiful job Taryl
Great Job. That Transmission.... that would have been Game Over for the average Home Gamer...... That's why you're THE MAN.... fixed it no problem, better than before..... I agree with you, highly unlikely it wasn't 80% gone in the first place... You just "finished it off" with your shenanigans.....
You got the Heald Hauler looking good. The factory used to be north of Benton Harbor, MI off of Blue Star Highway. Heald made some pretty cool mini bikes too.
I seen it when it started shearing. It went up on two wheels and you were still on the gass when it came down. Seen stuff like that many, many times over the years in my shop. Especially with open differentials and locking differentials (Detroit lockers.) You get one wheel spining and suddenly get traction and POW!!!
I just ordered some Grass Rats goodies and I'm bummed out that the "Fire it up" decals are already sold out😥 please tell me your getting more! Keep up the great work guys, hope to stop by again on my next vacation!!!
Awsome!!; Many congrats on your 'Nth' rebuild!; We DO hope you enjoy your NEW 'Custom Heald Hauler', which BTW, looks beautiful, runs great, specially after the, (thanks God!), easy to fix damage. Thank you & Family + friends for sharing such a great attitude & unbelievable creativity!!.. 🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
Neat little ride. Been enjoying your videos. Finally had to subscribe after hearing bout you from ol mustie 1. Love both your channels . Keep up the great work .
Hi Taryl, I have been watching your channel and I have really enjoyed your expertise and your comedy. Well done! I would really enjoy and also feel that others who watch would like to know what your favorite oils, solvents and other shop liquids are Keep up the good work! Thanks.
Well Taryl, you Hauler looks great, I have one not nearly as nice, but I'm working on it. Got it a couple of years back from someone who thought they knew what they were doing. I have to start out with a complete rewire and then move on to the drive system. The previous "mechanic" turned the rear axle around and tried to direct drive with a mini bike clutch... didn't work (LOL). Soon as I find the schematic I can start on the wiring. Now you said in your video here that you think you are done with your hauler, but you know better than that, those of us that tinker are never finished ... just takin a break...
When you had it on two wheels and came down(hammered it hard), you shock loaded the drive train. That's what shattered the woodruff key. Hey, it did its job! So what, GOTA HAVE FUN.
Taryl you're going to need to reinforce that sodeee pop storage holder from below. I had mounted one on a side by side and after 2 years it stress cracked around the bolt holes. I rebuilt it with a few pieces of powdered coated metal. Basically just a tray but you're a much better fabricator and I can't wait to see what's next.
Do you remember the old Spicer lawnmower transmission, it was based on the hodaka trans, shifted by a rod going through a shaft. In balls that were the keys for the gears!!!😎👍
It's been a great refurb all the way around..!!! For not wanting to rebuild it totally -> it's this side of a close 2nd for sure..!!! LoL.. Your Heald has a lot of character...!!!! Instead of a smile face on the hood, like Mater in the Cars films -> should put some Taryl Teeth on the hood...!!!! 😁😁😁 You know -> Some specific Taryl panache..!!!!
This thing is fantastic! The lights on the front reminds me of the old Speed Buggy cartoon back in the day. 😁
I had one of those with a little Cox engine in the 70s! Man I'm getting old 😂!
With all the junk on TH-cam, thank God for your channel Taryl! Entertaining and I learn something every time!

came out real good,

watch mud mower videos. these guys build them

Receiver hitch si you could pull a small trailer or dump cart
Nice job Tayrl

Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks Great Taryl!
Great video, love watching.
I wonder how many of these were junked for the same reason. Glad it was an easy fix. 😁👍
Looks good! Nice work!!
It's a cool lil machine. Nice job!
Nice and useful additions
nice job guys , looks good
Gotta love the hauler
Taryl, all you need now is a roof and a windshield. That will help when it's cold, snowing or raining. Great video my friends.
And theirs your dinner. Love you man.
Looks great taryl and you gave me some good ideas for my lawnmower trailer, I have some of the plastic soda creates I wasn't sure what to use them for but now I do . Thanks again for sharing.

Great Job.
That Transmission.... that would have been Game Over for the average Home Gamer......
That's why you're THE MAN.... fixed it no problem, better than before.....
I agree with you, highly unlikely it wasn't 80% gone in the first place... You just "finished it off" with your shenanigans.....
Man, I was afraid the transmission was busted fer good! Glad you got 'er fixed!
I need one of those for my house and yardwork.
You got the Heald Hauler looking good. The factory used to be north of Benton Harbor, MI off of Blue Star Highway. Heald made some pretty cool mini bikes too.
You really prove you are a genius with that transmission
Love your videos bro. Thanks Florida Joe

I just ordered some Grass Rats goodies and I'm bummed out that the "Fire it up" decals are already sold out😥 please tell me your getting more!
Keep up the great work guys, hope to stop by again on my next vacation!!!
Awesome little machine. Be cool to have some type of electric lift actuator for the dump bed. Love all your videos. Keep em coming.
Yeah a couple of linear motors would do the trick..... I thought that too when I saw the bed up.
Awsome!!; Many congrats on your 'Nth' rebuild!; We DO hope you enjoy your NEW 'Custom Heald Hauler', which BTW, looks beautiful, runs great, specially after the, (thanks God!), easy to fix damage. Thank you & Family + friends for sharing such a great attitude & unbelievable creativity!!..
🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
Cool customizations on the held it looks really good Taryl nice job 👍
Heald...
Great video series. Thank you Taryl. Looking forward to the next fuel additive update video.
Nice job now all you need is a power Inverter and a Stereo BBQ grill and a mini fridge to keep the beverages cold .
That's a great little red monster 💪

I could sure use one of those on my little farm. 😍
Dat thing is getting cooler and cooler!!!!😎👍
Awesome video
Neat little ride. Been enjoying your videos.
Finally had to subscribe after hearing bout you from ol mustie 1.
Love both your channels . Keep up the great work .
I used a Stihl saw scabbard to mount on my tractor fender to stow my saw. Great video. Cheap fix. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Taryl! Thankfully it was just a simple woodruff key!!
Where's the trailer hitch? It needs a hitch and matching trailer! Looks great Taryl!
That’s Bang Bang Job
Pretty cool setup
I think....I am nearly excited with the add ons.. I must have it.
Lookin Snazzy!! Enjoyed watching, thanks.
Very nice. I need a battle wagon like that. So cool!
Glad I'm not on a diet. Diner's good Taryl.
That thing is awesome
Good job.
Hi Taryl, I have been watching your channel and I have really enjoyed your expertise and your comedy. Well done! I would really enjoy and also feel that others who watch would like to know what your favorite oils, solvents and other shop liquids are Keep up the good work! Thanks.
can you install those inserts into blind spots like sq tubes or only accessible spots?
You made a great utility vehicle there, and looks the part too. Go easy on it😆
so cool keep it up
That’s a nice little buggy T.Great ideas with the storage too.
Overall I’m pressed with your work.And I’m a ole Salty Bastard !
I have a 1978 heals hauler. Mine is a 3 wheeler. I also put a tilt trim unit off an old mercury for a hydraulic lift for the box.
Sodepop ---- come on Taryl ------ you need to get with Steve and get some of those Adult Beverages from him for that Sodepop crate 🍺🍺🍺
thats too cool !!!!
mr. daycdl my 61 roper tracker had the same trans in it , hope that will help you !
Nice unit
Very good job !!! Do you think you can put a roof on it?
Well Taryl, you Hauler looks great, I have one not nearly as nice, but I'm working on it. Got it a couple of years back from someone who thought they knew what they were doing.

Great video! I’m just about to take at a project like this. Same machine with a lot of small issues that need addressed.
Newkey newkey sounds exciting
When you had it on two wheels and came down(hammered it hard), you shock loaded the drive train. That's what shattered the woodruff key. Hey, it did its job! So what, GOTA HAVE FUN.
Woooooooo! There's your dinner! Woooooooo!
Taryl's definition of "easy" is different than the dictionary definition.
Great job buddy! The Comet Corporation built some great CVT and gear transmissions for Utv, snowmobiles etc.
It wasn't me It was my brother Ferrell! Da - Nile is not just a river in Africa? Just grinding your gears man! Ha Ha!
Nice job I like how do you fix the transmission👍
That gridded basket is clever ..
Thank you!!
Awesome, if I win the lottery and don't have to work no more, I'm gonna do what you do all the time. I love it
Really cool hauler Taryl... very nice man!!! You going to get another Heald Mini Bike?
Gosh that would be awesome to own , I take care of a cemetery with 127 ackers of grounds. Nice little rig for maintenance
I prefer welded nuts to Nutserts. They shrink to a nice tight fit when cooled...A light grease on threads is recommended.
Nut rivets are ok until they start spinning because sheet metal is rusted around insert. You did a great job on this thing!👍👍👍!!!
I agree but I still like to use them so I can say "My Nutsert ! "
Taryl you're going to need to reinforce that sodeee pop storage holder from below. I had mounted one on a side by side and after 2 years it stress cracked around the bolt holes. I rebuilt it with a few pieces of powdered coated metal. Basically just a tray but you're a much better fabricator and I can't wait to see what's next.
I saw ya eyeballin that puddle after you said you were gonna "take it easy". I know ya wanted to.😉
Do you remember the old Spicer lawnmower transmission, it was based on the hodaka trans, shifted by a rod going through a shaft. In balls that were the keys for the gears!!!😎👍
I have a cushman with the same comet trans in it, i replaced all the bearings in it several years ago.
Taryl I never see you working on any old Cub Cadets or Bolens garden tractors. How's the Roof mower? You should compare that to the Hauler.
Nice buggy. Needs a canopy to keep the hot sun off yer head.
It really looks well built. Looks like it could take some abuse. Probably is impossible to find parts for it.
Dos nuts!
Looks good now! You should be good for another 100,000.0 peoples Yards. To Terf!
Thanks, Taryl. I found my engine number location on my briggs oppose twin in this video.
It's been a great refurb all the way around..!!! For not wanting to rebuild it totally -> it's this side of a close 2nd for sure..!!! LoL.. Your Heald has a lot of character...!!!! Instead of a smile face on the hood, like Mater in the Cars films -> should put some Taryl Teeth on the hood...!!!! 😁😁😁 You know -> Some specific Taryl panache..!!!!
Hey terrell. The old skidoo alpines had a forward and reverse trans kinda like that you might want to research that
