Now that thing is even better than a fishing boat. It would be nice to see you rebuild the older boat motor. Great job y'all. Keep praising the Lord 🙏.

a trick for lubing those chains is to soak them in a heavy oil such as gl1 get the oil warm (about 150F-175F) and place the chains in the oil with them rolled up standing on the link plates on one side heat the oil into the chains for about 15-30 minutes then proceed to grease them after they have cooled... Every chain I've done this too has lasted 4-5 times longer without rusting and have worn less and mine are used in the snow and salt belt (the oil actually will impregnate itself into the link bushings and pins by doing this). By the way I get the pot I boil the chains in for cheap at the local goodwill or at garage/yard/rummage/etc sales (get one without an anti stick coating such as teflon or remove the coating before boiling the chain)

Very cool to see the inner workings of that thing . Considering what they cost there very rudimentary. Always wanted one. Good to see Blaster as a sponsor. Great products. Thanks for the great content .

After watching the trouble Mike Finnegan had with the brake calipers , maybe you should have sprung for new pads? The one side kept sticking on him

Extend the seat frame back and reinforce the back seating area welding braces to the frame for support. You could also make a step to get in from the back instead of the sides. Make it like a step to get back into a boat from the water. It slides out and rotates down for use and lift it level and slide back in for storage.

The boat engine will make it a heck of a lot better on the water.

I like the idea for your body reinforcements, I may have to look into that for my magnum. My trans plug looked just like that when I changed mine too, it's nothing to worry about. Great video!

Back in the '80s in the 90s as a millwright the PB blaster was always the go-to excellent product

I am surprised you didn't install Rivnuts. Those are incredibly cool for construction and you folks make great videos.

Marine grade grease would have probably been a better choice... I wonder if Blaster has a Marine Grade grease available?

I've got to try some of that MultiMax. The PB Blaster is a life saver. I really like how you added strength to those droopy sides. 👍👍

I can tell you all the filings on the drain plug magnet are the teeth on the input shaft slowly eating themselves up. I`ve had a lot of those older style Argo transmissions apart.

You should run the bar all the way around the back,and a Roman numeral 2(Like beside the tank)down to the hitch,inside,to support the torque the engine's going to put on the

That is one complicated machine. Big job to rebuild it. Impressive work. I use Blaster products.

WOOW!! Great progress!! Definitely a good idea to strengthen those sides with thicker square tubing!

Interesting extra steel in the frame... I have a 2006 conquest. Last year we bent tge winch frame forwards & damaged ghe plastic by the headlights. I would have taken that 1" right around the whole perimeter. After tjus season I will probably do just this... at ghs moment I have put aircraft cable back from the winch frame to the main ladder frame at a point under gge seat to beef it up...
