Great video for independence day. %99 of guys I know that drive truck couldn't run a lathe to save their life. You're at the top of your industry.

Yelling at Seri, I was die’n ova here.😂 Funny how she’s always listening when you don’t want her to then when you’re stuck under a truck she’s rock’n out not paying attention. 😂

Love to see a man actually finish a good job unlike some other sites .,Pride is alive in you and it wont die ever. Thank you for this work story

I liked this video. Thanks for taking us along.🏁🏁🏁

Your Grandpa would be so PROUD!!!

Firstly, happy Independence Day, to friends and family. Sam, my buddy, back in the 80's turned the cooler sideways, and made up a set of louvers, for one side. The fin side, was towards the transmission about 2 inches below, with the louver openings towards the rear. With a gear pump, run by a modified wiper motor, to circulate the gear oil. Air flow, due to the venturi effect, was all that was needed. This system worked wonderfully in the Canadian Rockies, fully loaded on the long 6 and 7% grades. The temps would stay roughly 10°F above normal.

The only USA channel who I watch that uses a 5 inch grinder with the guard on. You only need 1 cut off disc to disintergrate and cut you up before thinking, YES a guard IS a good idea..

Back in the 80’s and early 90’s I worked at a shop that specializes all things tow trucks and as a result I installed lots of PTO’s and Hydraulic pumps. One of the things we did was I make our own mounting bracket/tab instead of that two piece weld together setup was we would tack the two pieces together and then use that as a template to trace our our 1 piece bracket/tab. Additionally we fabbed up a cutout for the PTO that was based off rpm of the engine and a pump cutoff switch based on hydraulic pressure

Scrappy Sam, it's good to see you have a video out today.

One of my favorite channels.

Great job Sam keeping your equipment maintained and up to code takes a tremendous effort and you take it a step further by keeping it clean and looking good Shows you take pride in what you’ve done and own

You have got the old Ford looking a treat. Always liked the styling of the Ford trucks 👍

Good to watch someone who really knows what he's about.

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Nice work. Really nice work. The truck looks spectacular. Happy hauling. 👍👍👍

Hey Sam, that truck is really coming together now. Well done, and thanks for sharing. You truly are a Jack-of-All-Trades. And with the work on the tank and the front wheels, I think you've added another division to Scrappy industries: "Scrappy Polishing". The list, according to my records, now stands at: Scrappy Industries Divisions: • Scrappy Heavy Hauling • Scrappy Machining • Scrappy Welding • Scrappy Hydraulics • Scrappy Mobile Crane • Scrappy Marine - The Ski Nautique boat with the Ford 351 engine with a rusty distributor. • Scrappy European Auto Repair - The diesel BMW that accidentally drank some petrol. • Scrappy Scrapping • Scrappy Electric • Scrappy Polishing • Scrappy Landscape Removal • Scrappy Combine Harvesting • Scrappy Video Productions • Scrappy Helps Buddy

Got an 89 LTL in Australia. Still working. Great old trucks.

Thanks Sam, was really looking forward to this update. Really enjoy watching your videos. Can't wait to see the next Mini-Mack video!

Damn i hate using dump pumps for wet kit application. I do agree on the hate for "scotch locks", those should be illegal. Ford is looking amazing, and your tank mount spacer idea is perfect! Old trucks always need work! Reminds me of the adage of how girlfriends and go-karts are alike. You ride them for a half hour on the weekend and work on them the whole next week.

Great job Sam keeping your equipment maintained 😀

Good morning Sam! Happy 4th of July to everybody. 🎉🎊🎇🎆

Love these old Ford trucks. I remember when they were a real competitor in the market. We had an old 850 that was bulletproof! Thanks for the video! 👍

Happy Independence Day Sam. Thanks for the update 😊

Give Loctite 545 a try on your fluid fittings. I had a leaky 3000 lb hydraulic fitting on a John Deere tractor 6 years ago that I could not get to stop leaking. I tried Teflon no go. Someone told me about 545, used it and to this very day, it has not leaked one drop. I use it on every fluid fitting on the farm except residential plumbing. Not one single leak on anything ever.Try it you'll like it!

As always, you have done an excellent job. And this is a very cool old Ford. Thanks for that! That was very entertaining on Sunday here in Germany.

Absolutely love the channel and the content two of my favorite trucks please don’t stop or change what yer doing especially when you and Matt are each others channels it’s great awsome videos thank you happy 4th

Great job on the additions and the maintenance. The old Ford is looking all shiny again!

You and Jake did a great job. What a sweet ride

I think from memory it was myself that mentioned the rain and the similarity to Scotland and in the last 3 weeks that’s not changed, our black lab is 12 in August and he’s really got old in the last 7 months and unlike every other lab I’ve had he is thin and quite easily lifted up into our pickup 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

I'm right there with you on that transfer pump. My five gallon bucket manual was on its last legm worth every penny.

I used to drag a apron trailer. I always struggled with the wet connections. Later on, I pulled an ag trailer that had a wet kit and it had quick disconnect couplers. I liked those a lot better. Truck looks sweet!

My gf loves it when I watch your videos when we are getting busy. 🎉

The polish job looked fantastic 🦘

Man, that truck and trailer is going to work really nice for Matt's auction finds. :)

Man , that’s what I want to do on my Mack! Thanks for showing me how to do it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great job the truck looks great, we had a 1986 9000 brings back memories. Have a happy 4th of July

It's always a pleasure to watch someone else doing the work! I learned that lesson the hard way too -- as soon as you're finished draining the oil, the drain pan gets removed and emptied. Most of our trailers work off the truck hydraulics. On the quad axle float the ramps and lift axles work off the truck hydraulics, but the massive winch (30T from memory) needs an auxiliary power pack. Originally it was all plumbed to work off the little onboard Honda power pack (now removed), but the winch barely moved and the truck hydraulics weren't much faster! The big trailer mounted unit powers it in/out at a decent rate, although we hardly ever use the winch. Better to have it and not need it, than vice versa!

Great job and best of all: you always finish the project - congratulations

Good morning, Nice work. What a beautiful truck, bravo!

OMG, SOOOO FUNNY!!! Suitcase connectors suck for outside use, but wiring a buzz line for your model railroad, they work great, LOL Ron

Sam, i really really love that ford. What a beauty.

What a beautiful truck ❤

Well Sam you are getting an education on this install, and we just had to put our 7 year old Beagle down, she had a tumor on her spleen, if they took her spleen out, she'd only have about another 8-9 months of life, so we decided to put her out of pain and discomfort I'm still missing her. Dave D.

Man i still love seeing those LTL fords still on the road.

Great video Sam!!!!

As always bro it made for great viewing and the truck looks right purdy too. Safe travels. Ken.

Great video Sam, thanks for sharing the process!!

That is a great looking truck young man. Nice set up on the wet line kit, I like your attention to detail and your thinking on repairs and upgrades, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching, appreciate your time.

Great job Sam😊😊😊

One of the best that I have seen. Well done. Very entertaining first thing in the morning in NZ.

Good job Sam.

Nice Ford LTL9000 , Cool video, Thanks

The Big Louie is looking great there, Sam 🤟🏼 Kudos for the wet kit install too 🙂

Great work this will be a dry work shop or ur planning to put some heat for the equipment u will be storage in . Thank you for all the hard work and blessings to u and senior plus fam 🙏

Great job, well done.

Excellent outcome!!!

I have used the field replaceable fittings on many hydraulic lines, and I have never had one fail. You are the first person I have heard with failures. I use a double wire hose, and the fittings that match. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks Sam love the videos and Happy 4th of July and I Enjoy the video .

FORD (Found On Road Dead) you are keeping your Ford on the road for another day. Great job Sam!

I've made hydrolic hoses with those ends myself. Nice!

That is a really nice lathe, no bearing noise, and looks like the runout is good.

Brilliant video Sam watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 , happy independence day Sam

Really enjoyed this one! 👍

You do great work! 100k very soon.

Old truck that is newer boy it sure looks and sounds awesome well done Sam now to see a big load on looking forward to that video you have a gem there enjoy 👍👋🇨🇦

Top man you are scrappy 🇬🇧

Well done 👏

Sam, that was a fun watch. That Ford is almost too purtty to put it to work. Love how well adjusted to shop noises your dogs are, obviously you trained them well. Reminds me of when my Lab was a puppy, I would bring her into the garage and showed her the noisy equipment and while petting her I would place one of her paws on the running machine, she leaned and never was afraid. Thanks for sharing 👍 - HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL 🇺🇸

Love your vid. I came from letsdig,and Diesel Creek.

Happy Independence Day! Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!

Wow is a beauty you did a great job Sam 👍 👍

WILL do

Happy 4th, Sam.

Happy 4th July everyone regards Andy from Australia

Man thats a nice ole truck!

We can see better with new lights you put in..them small projects do add up...but we get some good to watch...with the inspector. 🐾🐕🐾

Sam you two beautiful trucks

Thankyou 😊

Thanks for shring.

That's a nice truck Sam! Greetings from the Netherlands

Sammie, If it was easy, anyone could do it. You and ole Diesel Creek take on some real interesting projects, thanks for the details.

I run an old truck as well. My low air buzzer doesn’t work either. Worried I’d get popped for it I did a little research and found that: as long as you have a pressure gauge and either a buzzer OR indicator lamp, mucho bueno! Good to go
