We all need a Tony in our lives. He's the best. Thank you .

That has to be one of the funniest loading spectacles I've ever seen. The commentary is great.

Only thing missing was the Benny Hill music in the background. :)

Now that was some funny stuff.Jeff you should know that when dealing with aviation equipment you have to say"switch on,contact" to start it.I didn't know you could use the overhead guard on a hi lo to trim trees.l'm always learning new tricks from old dogs.Thanks for posting this vid.

"Good enough?" I laughed so hard my stomach still hurts!!!

One of my favorite youtube videos. Laugh every time I watch it.

I think that's the funniest one you've ever posted!! Gotta love Tony.

Never seen a poor old overworked forklift cry until today. "Why won't they leave me alone ? I just want to rust in peace." Tony's a great machinist, I think he's just no good in front of a camera. How people behave when there's a camera on them is completely different to how they are in person. Jeff shines in front of the camera that's why his videos are not only informative but entertaining. Tony, on the other hand, will do you a killer job on a water pump (and what ever else he does) but he wouldn't want you to watch him do it. Jeff wouldn't get anywhere near ME with his camera, I hate being watched when I work. If I ever did a video of what I do, I would only shoot my hands and then I'd use one of those computer generated voices because I can't stand the sound of my own voice. Thanks for a fun twelve and a half minutes.

This video made me laugh, Tony is definitely a machinist not a mechanic or forklift operator, I've never seen an old Continental squirt gas out of the head gasket that was a first lol. I thought your old 3/4 ton was done for the old trucks are tough that forklift has got to weigh at least 5 ton.

Glad you were able to be there for "Professor Grumpy" and help him out when he needed it as he has done for you in the past. Hope that trailer fender, frame and tongue are ok? Thanks Jeff and Tony for sharing the fun.

After all the mayhem, I gotta say that is a cool old fork lift. Fun to watch !

So much love for elderly iron. Keep it up Jeff! Thanks for being a staple of my evenings for years

i actually yelled ouch and cringed when that thing slammed down.

I had a smile on my face the whole time...

Some people should never drive lift trucks: Tony is one of those people. He has great machinist skills, but his driving skill with that monster looks more like demolition derby. I hope you are going to load and unload on the return trip. Scary, but fun, to watch.

Having Tony on is always an extra bonus. Great video!

Despite feeling the FULL range of emotions and yelling at the screen two or three times, it was really only possible to agree with Tony's final assessment when he said, "it works don't it?" LOL!

7 years later and is sooo funny to this day!

Oh my God! This is without a doubt the best and most dangerous video you have ever made. I hope he didn't damage your truck. I just knew he was going into the bed of your truck. Gotta watch old folks on machinery....... What a hoot!

A thing of beauty and a joy forever - the forklift I mean!! Cheers, John

That thing needs so much more than carb work....lol. I like the big "gap" in the intake. Wait a minute....you told me you were busy working. That's fool around with the grumpy German!!! lol

I didn't know Mr. Magoo could run a fork lift.

The combination of you two, plus your commentary is hilarious!

Sometimes I think that Tony is one big long outtake. But you gotta love him.

"..... and He'll have Fun , Fun , Fun when Tony drives the Forklift again" I just Love Tony , always good for a laugh....Many Blessings , SMR

I always love it when Tony's on. I learn something valuable about life.

That scared me right outta my seat! I thought ol' blue was gonna be flattened for sure!

This whole video is just hilarious!

Wow, i Love forklifts, really Nice video. Thank you for sharing. Christer

Only thing missing was a fire burning that loader and trailer down. Good show !

Lol!! Years ago 1978 my dads workers drove a 2ton asphalt roller into the bed of a f 150 and drove from NYC to long island our shop. I unloaded its frame bent like a banana.!! Still used truck for construction. Cool old forklift worth fixing up .

I saw that thing in earlier videos and was just waiting for this. There is a guy here that does stuff like that on a regular basis. My ex-UNcle-in-law said that if you didn't believe in a Higher Power, just ride with that guy. You would before long.

Pretty familiar with these Clark lifts, 6 cyl Continental Flat Heads :) Love em.

I guess you can't break it anymore then it is. Great show made me laugh. I thought he was going to drive into the bed of the pickup.

hysterical. best vidja yet, thanks for sharing

This is comedy gold almost breaks the trailer and truck and then blows a head gasket on the forklift.

Reminds me of the guy who rented space from me. He also had an old Clark forklift, he got it stuck, smashed more stuff and flogged that poor machine unmercifully.

That was great! Made my night!

Looks like a backwards Clarktor industrial tractor/airplane tug, wouldn't be surprised if they share parts. Sounded like it was getting a boost from a mk1 diesel VW -- we have had to jump the dump truck and many other things from our mk1 Rabbit!

Ya know, I have watched this video a few time over the years and still crack me up (Ya, I'ma simple man) Good friends are life treasures……..rock on Tony.

Thanks!! I needed a good laugh this morning. :)

A CCCP forklift with a German carburetor a paradox in the making

Oh Man that fork lift should of got a 1 way ticket to china about 10 years ago, we had one a bit newer than that where I worked 14 years ago, that was a similar performance to do anything with it. The loading ended better than I figured though, At that speed I thought it was going to hit the trailer head board/pipe, stop real sudden with tony getting the steering wheel in the chest. Break the truck frame in half with all the weight on it and the fork lift was going to drop through the floor and sit on the trailer frame rails. I guess the duals saved it L.O.L. Man that was a fun video you 2 make a real funny show when Tony comes out to play !

looks like something tony would own good job

Good ole VW Diesel . Cool video thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Jeff.

Tony's helluva machinist..but forklift driver? ah..not so much...

The "Flying Dutchman" is in a class all by himself...

Comedy gold right there ! 👍🏻😂

you aught to put that relic out in the salvage pasture and while your at it, do something with the old Clark Loader too. lol, do more of these videos i need a laugh or three

LOL Tony sure is a funny old man.

what were you thinking letting Tony attempt to operate the forklift just because he owns it doesn't make him able to operate it his smile is priceless

Love the old Solex carb off an air cooled Volkswagen on the forklift! I thought I recognized the float bowl at first, so I had to go back for another look..

Hahaha he's totaly nuts! Love it.

i love this channel

I would like to see more of this machine. Do you plan something on it ?

That was so funny, I almost broke a rib laughing

This video is gold.

I've pulled wrenches on some old forklifts in my day. But I've never seen one thrown together like that one. And I always hated working on Clarks!

Yes, scary and fun at the same time - you don't get the same at the movies nowadays... This is real recycling! I still have a sign in my head as a reminder I did something like Tony did, just with slightly worse results...

Oh brother! Don't know where to start. The machine? or Tony? You got your hands full between those two. lol! Good luck my friend.

Priceless.

Holy shit, I thought for sure the reese hitch ripped right off your truck during that first load up Jeff. I thought the "almost load" just before that was going to result in a visit from the detectives to see if there was any foul play in the crash...... ;-)

I need a forklift in my life. One like that would do nicely.

Those rims are cool.

I See a Restoration Video or 5 in your Future! HAHA That Beast would be a blast to Redo! HAHA

The distributor growing out of the center of the head is a sure sign of a Continental engine. Roughly the same as were built under license by Willys, Kaiser/Frazer and others. Even as awesome as they are they still need gas.

Jesus, that old boy is hard on equipment.

gotta love tony, he is a riot haha

Now that was entertainment!

Loved dis vid.

that's a perfect restoration project, minimal bodywork and it runs

This could only happen in "Caveman Junction, Oregon", Ha, Ha. Well Selma, is a suburb of Caveman Junction. Just Hilarious!

What did that weigh? Seems like a lot for that trailer or is it an elderlyiron special reinforced job.

7:00 : yep, she was kinda full. Rear wheel steering can be a pain to get accustomed to. I thought I was doing fine in my forklift ticket test, until I looked behind and realised I had knocked over like 5 cones. I like those old ww2 Airport tugs. These bunch of p51 and other ww2 fighter plane pylon racers from Reno restored one and put a small block chevy in it, looked (and sounded) really cool!

Magnets stuck to the bottom or side of the fuel tank will keep any Red dUST attracted to them and keep it out of the needle and seat in the carb.. prevent flooding.. just don't ever move them.. you will scatter all the Red dUST thru the fuel line.. 1990 ford ranger fuel filters can be used with either 5/16 fuel hose or 3/8 fuel hose.. and are 10 micron elements and capture the sediment and have enough filter media to prevent quick clogging except in the worst cases.. edit.. must recall to bring a tree trunk with you that has several notches in it to go under the trailer tongue near where the side rails come together.. so the truck is not exposed to this kind of excessive frame bending load ever again..

Shake hands with Danger.......shake hands with Tony

Love it!

Another fine product with the same Chrysler engine and drive train as the Command Car .... 8-)

Sticker on the side says Redwood City, California - which happens to be where I'm watching this from :-)

now I see why he's so good with working metal

Would love to see a resto vid on this monster.

Hilarious ...absolutely Fun all the way.

Bugger . That will be a good resto project

Ouch, that was painful, but fun to watch!

Hey.. I grew up near Redwood City...called by us folk when we were really, really young Deadwood City! I had a boat (when I was just really young but really, really stupid) that was docked there! How this got to Grants Pass, OR...that's a whole other video. I had a crappy day, so this video was just what I needed to lighten my foul mood.

well ole blue took a hard hit .

Doc (Tony) should go back to the future but I don't think his forklift will go 88 MPH. lol

I think my gut still hurts from lauhghing. Jeff that was probaby one of your best. Be interresting to see a video on the trailer. It looks home made and if it is Id love to know how to build a tilt bed homemade. I will be building 2 trailers this winter.

Jeff with all do respect brother, please be carefull around Tony I know hes sharp as a tack, but he seen a little careless in his older age. I sure would hate to see you get hurt brother. Sending prayers of safety your way. Sorry he just scares me.

Tony, as subtle as a sledgehammer as usual, surprised this didn't end up as a saga titled 'RRTOFL' with a Bradshaw Patent Headgasket repair. It wasn't Tony who bent the axle on that trailer was it? LOL

This is like Red Green's Adventures With Bill.

wow that would make an awesome yard buggy

Good lord that was terrifying! Come see my 1950 Dodge Power Wagon Project

Hi mate. That poor old girl needs a bit of a birthday, but I got the feeling she'll only get worse.

you two should make a roadkill style show. fix up some old car an roadtrip somewhere. that would be entertaining

Im not a gear nut at all but your vid are so entertaining.

Another awesome piece of machinery that's been saved from a one way trip to China. It's got a VW solex 30 or 34 pict carb on it. I bet thats not original. I wanted the VW in the back ground. Its probably where the carb came from. I know that place ha ha. You didn't want that rh mud guard on the trailer. ha ha. It's nearly been a year since i was there. Yes i miss America. :O)

LOL Nothen like helpen pops out ! it works !

piece of work allright. wouldn't that thing pick the cab off your backhoe? build a jib or something to extend/raise the height of the forks?
