Using the electric seat on the brake pedal to control tumbler speed trick..
Pure genius
That's how I bleed brakes, except I usually am not dealing with a power seat. Appropriately sized 2x4 between the seat and pedal, then move seat up till the pedal is fully depressed, and crawl under and crack loose the bleeder. Close bleeder and repeat a few times...
@@DanEBoyd Have you ever tried using speed bleeders?
@@guruoo No, I was going to buy some at a parts store once, but they didn't have them for my car at the time.
just use a mighty vac and vacuum the air out.
so he was dragging the rear brakes for hours to slow the wheel down? Expensive gas tank cleaning

How about a tractor pull?
That thing is a beast!
My Dad could fix clocks, rebuild care engins (VW), brake jobs, clutches, build houses, repair anything electronics (TV's, etc.) and worked for SIMPLEX Time Recorders for many years. He could also fix typewriters. and anything related to them. Like I stated before, you are very much like my Dad. I miss him so much.
My father was a millwright,I know exactly how you feel,I miss him so much.
Hewwo daddi uwu 💓
my dad couldnt fix anything, except cars a little bit. still miss him anyway.
My Dad work at Sprague Energy next to Simplex I had a few friends work at Simplex. I left Portsmouth in 73
I know he could do everything.
maybe someone mentioned it already but this tractor is whats known as a power pup, it was in popular mechanics book in the 6o's and they worked awesome, i have built a few in my version of them and they all performed crazy well, you will not believe what this tractor will pull when you are done with it, hint..put a very good stiff spring on your clutch return system and this thing will be unstoppable , great series I am a new fan of the channel you do the same stuff I do and its a passion to bring the old stuff back to life,,keep up the great work.
The old grandpa who built it originally is probably smiling down on seeing his creation resurrected in good style! Bravo!
until he starts beating on it like a 12 year old kid.
maybe a long lost relative

Best 90 minutes I've ever spent on you tube.Thank you
What a neat rig it needs lights and a trailer and other cool toys. Thanks for having me over to hangout in the garage bud I had a great time.
Among my favorite machines you have Mustie!
Strapping the gas tank to the free wheeling truck wheel was brilliant and my first laugh-out-loud moment of the day. And moving the drivers seat up to adjust the brakes was priceless. Mustie1 is the gift that keeps on giving. Bravo! ;-)
He has done that before.
My jaw dropped. I didn't even know why he was moving the seat.
I enjoy how you actually fix things instead of just throwing new parts at a project. A true machanic.
Environmentally friendly too (Green Mustie1). Always Fix/Care for/Buy used. Too many people do the opposite.
Your not just a great mechanic, you are the connoisseur of small and large engines. I like to watch you tinker on old equipment and figure out what is wrong. I always learn something every time I watch your videos.
Perhaps the finest explanation of the brake mechanism (and purging)...nicely done.
I can taste the asbestos through the speakers cleaning them brakes. Be safe my friend.

In my 54 years on this on this planet I got to say that is the most organized nuts and bolts drawer I've ever seen! 🤣
positively OCD i saw that , lol
Organizers ALL start that way..............
Could you mount foot 🦶 rest on your steering rods on each side.????
Good Job on it.
No lie there bud! We know he takes care of his nuts lol
I love that little tractor! So glad you managed (as ever) to bring it back to life 🙌😀
Great vid dude, I really enjoy the way you rehab crusty stuff. Two things come to mind in this one, the first is that Gorilla Glue is set off by moisture. If you want to speed up curing time, put the glue on one piece and dampen the piece your gluing to. The other point is the puller on the brake drum and no axle nut on it. Those things have been known to explode off the tapered shaft and hit the squatting mechanic in the family jewels!!! Leave the axle nut attached with 4 or 5 threads to catch the drum if it pops. 👍🍺👍🍺
Cleaning that gas tank by using the wheel of your truck looked like a true Red Green moment. 😂

This is an old move for Mustie. He came up with that quite a while back.

THAT AGITATOR! THAT SPEED CONTROL ADJUSTMENT! HAHAHA! LOVED IT! Great video Mustie!
The brake lathe will make a pretty good agitator as well. Not as funny mind you but probably a lot easier to setup
Love the pure joy you get when you finish a project. That is something else.
Great to see the old girl running. You did a super job, recommissioning without losing its character by over-restoring it.
my dad made a tractor in the 1940s--he used a 4 cyl Dodge engine, 2 transmissions in series, a frame he built himself, metal wheels--I wish I had a picture of it
The Custom brand of tractors used Dodge truck parts, so I'm sure what you dad did is possible!
@@timothykeith1367 more than possible--I used to drive it at age 8
Hahaha "let's fine tune that speed a little bit" :D perfect solution!
From Sydney Australia.Thanks for all your shows Mustie. My favourite programs on utube. I enjoy them better than a good movie.
Looks like all it needs is a necker knob on the steering wheel and a kill switch you can reach from the driver's seat! Cool video, brought her back from the dead! A+ Mustie!
Greeeeennn Acres is the place to beee!
All you need now is a three piece suit and one of the Gabor sisters in a furry boa!
SUGGESTION: along with floorboards, I make a box for the starter rope and a couple of tools (in case you stall it away from the shop).
You beat me to it. I started singing the song when he started driving it.
that's the first song I sang when we got a farm when I retired. I had the bib overalls and the tractor it took a month before I got bored of it. I didn't have the Gabor sister but I did have a Indian princess
Didn't music come out of a super duper tractors wheels on Green Acres?

Good evening all from Adelaide, Australia.
Hello - also from Adelaide
We once hosted an exchange student from Adelaide, hello from Connecticut USA
Yep, a real mechanic fixes things......not a parts changer! This series was excellent! I learned a lot about a lot of things here, but especially brakes!
Ya know Mustie! You are my favorite mechanic on here. Ive watched everything you have videos on at least twice. Im not even a mechanic myself. .But you inspired me to just take my own matters into my own hands. To fix my own lawn mower. The rules are. Check compression. Check oil, Check spark, Give fuel to start. check points etc, check carb. Clean bowl and jets etc. My better half thinks Im a hero! Thank you for everything you do.
Move the seat forward to fine tune the rotation speed. Friggin awesome. Mustie, you are the Mother to the Mother of invention. 👍👍
The icing on the cake would have been for you to have played the theme song for the TV series "Green Acres" while you were driving it. Great job!!
You got that right arnold ziffel!!! At least some one remembers the good ole days!!!
You’d have to get Mustie wearing a suit while riding the tractor (like Oliver Wendell Douglas) while a Mr. Haney tries to BS him into believing all the rust on it is patina.
Income tax evasion hour.......🤪
Thats an awesome tractor Darren, i love it. Thank you for inviting us into your shop. Look forward to more adventures with you👍👍👍
This is terrific. The builder deserves a medal. Now that it's back in service, I'd paint the rims red, and hang the hubcaps on the wall. It's a tractor. You don't put hubcaps on a tractor! Anyway, great series. Lots of turns on the road to victory.
“The next day after Mexican food...”
I spewed coffee all over my phone laughing so hard at that one!
"even cleaned my nuts"
I almost fell off my chair laughing
LMAOO Right lol Mexican and Mc Donalds both have that effect lol
Are you sure it was coffee?
That did look like s--t didn't it.
Have a great rest of the weekend.

Boy the person that designed and built that knew what they wanted, and really did a great job!
It's so satisfying to see old technology outlast anything that's built today. You just feel the different mindset to build something to last.
He would be very pleased that its still going, having put a lot into it, bits and time.
Yes I agree
@@dancurrier374 xx.
This is a fab little machine. Great revival n run..She sounds pretty good after not running for sometime. Excellent work mustie 1.
Many thanks. Love your channel.
I am really surprised how well that tank came out, considering its original condition. Great job on those brakes too.. Good series Mustie1 Thanks so much for sharing your story with us all!
"Next day after Mexican food" OMG!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just love it when Mustie says “It’s coming off, It just doesn’t know it yet!”
Time will be said eventually
Yes and there is a product called penetrating oil
And we're in!
Nice going. I like that thing. Great troubleshooting and repairs.
You sir are the king of the fix it guys. I really love watching your video's. Keep 'em coming Mustie 1, cheers.
Tough-Trax has been a fun restore video to watch... all 3 parts. Awesome job Mustie, I love things that were built to last!
4:20 when Mustie opens a drawer and it has over $10k in fasteners in it...
I have the same drawer.....lol......that's years of buying a whole box instead of the few you need at the time.....(better value for sure) and you might need some in the future.......I even bought a huge pile of varied stainless nuts and bolts that was in a wheel barrel at our Nut and Bolt Store.........he said it was going to cost him about 200 to sort through........so I offered 100 and he took it !!
I have a similar inventory that was passed down to me from my grandpa. My nephew upon seeing it said it was "50 years of one too many."
@@garymallard4699 Hell yea :)
At the motorcycle dealership when I ordered some oddball fasteners and asked for a couple extra, the owner smiled and said he had one customer that brought back one stock bolt wanting a refund because he got one from a friend and so he wouldn't be needing it after all.
That tractor is on the cover of Science and Mechanics , August 1961. It details the entire build. I found the magazine about a month ago and wondered who would take the time to build it!
me ,given half a chance!!
I have one that I am refurbishing
Back when "clickbait" headlines were properly engineered bits of machinery that would actually be useful.
So cool.
Great catch. That seems exactly right. This one has rear fenders and a hitch that the cover pic doesn’t show.
BRAVO-BRAVO-BRAVO! Your tenacity is off the charts. Thank you so much for sharing.
"You" could have been a brain surgeon, but you chose to give life to derelict machines!
Thanks to you and your "production crew" for taking time to share with us. GOD BLESS

I love that these projects always brings out the big kid in you.
My neighbour built identical tractor, 15 years or more ago. Datsun rear differential axle tubes shortened. 3 speed auto transmission. Also made a nice hood and used mower deck from old ride on mower. It worked great.
I think where ever the old timer that built that old girl is, he just smiled.
The best part of a waking up is mustie fixing stuff
Glad I can't stand the taste of coffee, especially Maxwell House.
The smile says it all! Great job bringing this old war wagon back to life. Got quite a chuckle out of your car wheel tank tumbler, and going off the plywood ramp. Excellent work!
That runs really nice. Congratulations on a great find.
Dear lord the stuff in that gas tank is almost turning back into dinosaurs!
I have a tank exactly like that one but rust free inside, i guess they came with the engines
@@datadavis funky looking thing, especially with the glass bowl setup.
That's all the tar and asphalts and other heavies that were treated to keep them in suspension. Over time they fall out. They are what make exhaust emissions. They are in the fuel, one just cannot see them while they are kept in suspension.
White gas, better known as Coleman fuel, has them refined out and gotten rid of, rather than just chemically treated to keep them in suspension. That's why Coleman fuel lasts for decades. I use it in all my small engines, to avoid the gas/varnish problem.
Burn white gas in your car and it instantly becomes a zero emission vehicle. Dirty fuel equals dirty exhaust. Forget the left wanting to get rid of all cars. The US could be zero emission in less than a year if we would just clean up our fuel. But that would double the cost per gallon, and the multinational corporations will not allow it.
An individual can do it themselves right now. Just buy Coleman fuel instead of pump gas.
I would a soldered the hole.
@@knlazar08 "zero emission vehicle" ... what a crock of shit.
You need research ICE engine combustion process to know what emissions are before coming out with such claims. You burn hydrocarbon fuel with air you produce COx and NOx.
Further, tar is the 'heavy' bottom end of refining process the last of all the lighter fractions in crude oil. The first fractions are gases.
Asphalt is a blend of rock and maybe other inorganic material mixed with tars. You're saying this was added to light naphtha blends [being gasoline] ? Bullshit - never ever.
The residual 'lacquer' spoken of isn't lacquer anyway and certainly not heavy tar. It's only the heavier naphtha of the fuel BLEND plus years of contaminants left after lighter fractions evaporate through tank vents.
I still can't believe Mustie has not grabbed an old washer and made a parts tumbler.
Dear W80
Even simpler is to use a common concrete mixing machine. Mount a wooden board over the "mouth", then mount the tank on the board and let it run. It cleans more efficient if the tank is out of centre (running kind of elliptical). The best things to use are old/rusty Spax screws/wood screws. Afterwards everything will be very clean (including the screws of course).
2) An old wiper motor can also easily be used for cleaning tanks (and similar things) inside. Mount the motor onto something stable and a wooden board on the motor. Then mount the tank on the board and let it run. I bet Mustie1 has a lot of wiper motors in his stash.
Also a 110 V drilling machine can be used as drive source.
Best regards, luck and health.
Or dryer.
To be trademark Mustie it should at least be modified to a 2 stroke washer ;-)
@@Robvdh87 😂
@@Robvdh87 That would probably work best actually.
Been watching your videos for a little while. Love how you actually fix with original parts instead of just replacing with new plastic junk.
That weird steering pivot that allows the floating front axle is pure genius.The man should have been an engineer with his talent.
I learn so much from your videos, thanks for making these.
yay Sunday! Coffee and Mustie all is Goood! Good Morning/Evening fellow Mustie Junkies!
Exactly what I think every Sunday! Start looking for it as soon as I made Coffee ...
Good Morning... Coffee in hand...
Morning Martin
Indeed! Good Morning!
Top of the morning to you sir
I binged on all this.. loved it, very well made video it's full on fixing and not loads of talking and explanaing.
awesome video thanks for sharing !!! its cool to see how things get fixed and not replaced ,, thanks again !!
Mustie your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. Strapping the tank to the wheel is just plain classic!
I think this brake rebuild was a good demonstration of the hydroscopic properties of brake fluid. It absorbs water (humidity).
You have such a passion on this fix, there’s nothing like a good challenge.
Thank you for another great video Mustie1. You and Your videos by far are the best on TH-cam. I look forward to the long videos and I'm still disappointed when they are over even being long, you have a special way that you choose your content and the way you talk to us like we're right there with you. Thank you again
Happy mornings! I've watched your channel for years, it's a Sun. morning must, and really enjoy it. I found myself working on an 18hp Kawas out of an old gator. It needed a lot, valve cover gaskets being one. When I removed them I found myself adjusting the valves (very much needed) by eye with a bit of guessing. It ran great afterwards. About half way in it dawned on me it was the knowledge you share that got me to check them and adjust without even thinking about it, just came natural. A huge thank you for your wealth of knowledge over the many years, it makes a great Sunday morning. Cheers!
I second that! I’ve learned so much and also this weekend learned how to fix my pressure washer while using crutches. After 3 days I couldn’t stand it anymore, wrenchaholic I guess!
I kept thinking what is that weird noise in the background?? Then I remembered there’s a gas tank bungied to a jacked up tundra tire outside lolololol
Me too
Mustie, use oxalic acid next time you want to dissolve rust. Works amazing. I own a pressure washing business and use it for rust removal on homes its awesome all you have to do is mix it with warm water and spray or put on the rust however you choose and let it dwell for a couple minutes then rinse. You can repeat if you need to but usually not necessary.
All you need now is a few rattle cans of neon green paint. The Mean Green Machine !! A snow plow for the front, a disc and plow for the back, and a 48" mower deck underneath !! lol Thanks for the video !!
"we do it right.... because we do it twice"-Mustie1 lmfao I died, love watching your videos, always a treat every week
That's a watch Wes work saying
Anyone else smile when Mustie waved as he reversed behind the curtain?
My 2 year old said bye bye tractor
Just everybody.
À la Bugs Bunny !
Do love all the weird and wonderful toys you have. When I think 'He's not moving that', out comes the oddest-shaped tool and away you go! :)
That is a fantastic project how sweet is that engine fun fun fun all the way 👍👨🏻🏭🇬🇧
My stomach rolled over when he dumped that tank! And yes I could smell it!
I laughed wearing my headphones & had to explain to the boss what was so funny. Her blank stare was evidence of humor not shared.
Looked like someone had put two handfull of wet dirt in there. Can't have been just rust.
Laughed out loud...”it even cleaned my nuts!”
This has been an great series.
From forgotten, to one of the best tractors I've seen. A real monster.
You did an amazing job on this one. When others would have called it 'done', you persevered.
Really enjoyable to watch.
Great little series. Very cool tractor at the end. I hope you can find some uses for it so it can live on and be useful. You've inspired me to fix up some old equipment I've found around. So far its all worked out pretty well. Thanks!
It's weird Mustie1 must have thousands of tools but he still comes back to a few 'favourites' the bodywork hammer, the slip joint pliers etc!
My favorite is the 10mm snap on wrench with the slight bend on the end
Coffee donut and a Mustie video perfect Sunday
I would like to thank you for all your Videos, you’ve help me stay sane during lockdown. Here in the U.K. we’re just emerging from house arrest and without your many varied and interesting input it would have been more depressing. Thank you and keep doing the good work.
but it sounds like your above ground so enjoy the sun. many are not that lucky.
You do a great job and explain each thing that you are doing. I enjoy every video!
Hope there's a Mustie -vs- Brian tractor race vid coming soon. Would love to see the two contenders have at it!
So I got a Taco John’s ad right after the Mexican food comment.
Made my Sunday morning with Mustie1 even better!
Well Dr Emmett Brown, you did it again! Great job and quite entertaining to follow along. You certainly drag home some ugly strays....
Ive been catching up on your videos after not watching them for a while due to being super busy, and Im always amazed at the difference in the things you work on from when you get them to when you're done with them. I think what is most amazing is how well that ultrasonic cleaner works. Ive deep cleaned carbs by hand and its a massive pain and never comes out nearly as well as that thing does. Keep up the awesome work!
with so many motors you have in your stash I'm surprised you haven't made a shaker for cleaning the gas tanks, good video tho, so far lol
Engine
We used a cement mixer
That's definitely a well-built old machine. One of the best you've found to date IMO.
Great video and save Mustie1!
Very interesting, informative and entertaining. Thanks from a 1st time viewer.
I literally went through this exact same thing last year! I bought a 1956 Economy tractor that sat out forever it seemed. It too is powered by a model 23 Briggs. Fantastic old engines. My fuel tank was as bad and oh god the stench! Mine has a model A Ford rear and a Crosley T3 transmission. In the fifties whether home built or made by a small factory, garden tractors were much the same. They all appear homemade. The old Economy’s, Gibson’s, Pond’s, garden all, Speedex, Shaw’s etc. we’re built in small quantity. And in the case of the early ponds for instance, built by a father and son in their garage. The father and son were Cecil and Elmer Pond, who went on to create Wheel Horse. Hi from NH, new sub here!
That contraption you came up with to clean out the inside of that gas tank made me laugh so hard! Bravo!!!
I saw on the internet where a guy needed to weld on his fuel tank, so he plumbed another car's exhaust into the filler tube hole on the tank, and used the car exhaust to displace the oxygen from the tank, so as to be able to weld without causing combustion of any fuel vapors still in the tank.
Just get out the JC Whitney catalog!
Back in the day, it was the thing.
Mr Douglas, Mr. Haney called, has got a tractor for you, Zeb can drive it. I gave him your number.😂
For Sure...

It is, always, such a treat to witness your miraculous relic resuscitations!
Oh Mustie, thank you so much for your content!! I can whittle away hours watching this, whilst thinking how much better it is than 100% of content on UK terrestrial channels (BBC shite!). Terrific.
