What else did your dad say

@@danielreilly1302 He had a lot to say. He said to never buy living room furniture that's too cheap. Because before you know it, a spring will be poking you in the back end. He told me he stole a set of front tires for a tractor with that big ridge in the center. He said he thought they'd last a long time. He said he put them on the back of a 35 Ford. They had the same bolt pattern I take it. He said he went only about 3/4 of a mile and they both blew out. He said they couldn't handle high speeds. He also told me that during the depression when people that had worn out tires and couldn't get or afford new ones, people would find another set of worn out ones about the same size and cut the bead out. Let the air out of the mounted set and slip one's with the bead cut out over them and then air the tires up. The inside ones would swell up and hold the outside ones in place. I guess it was a homemade retread. He had many more stories. He told me he got the crabs one time, and rubbed his privates down with DDT and killed them. Did you want to hear Tractor stories, or just stories in general. I have a ton more.

OMG he'll be a guy, great story!

There's nothing wrong with sharing memories my friend!! When we get old which I am, memories and stories are all we will have left!!! Let's see what kind of memories the younger generation are going to have when all they do is play with cell phones!! Preserving the past and talking about it takes a special kind of people!!! This is why the world pretty much sucks for the most part today. People just throw away everything!!! I treasure all my memories and the stories from my childhood!! Just remember this, never be afraid to walk alone because God always walks along side of us!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

@@lottiecooper609 I'm 57 now, my Dad passed away 9 years ago. He told me lots of stories about when he was young. He had children late in life, and I did also. My children are 12 and 14. A boy and girl. He was a hard mountain man, and didn't put up with much nonsense. He and his brothers bought a surplus Army truck and logged with it. He said that they would run the bumper of the truck up against a tree and use the winch to haul big logs out of hollers where others couldn't go.He said they would load the logs by hand. He said he would cut timber all day with a twin cylinder Mercury chain saw. He said that was the first good saw they had. I've worked hard jobs all my life, but nothing like this. People are softer now. He went into the Army at the end of WW2 and told me much. I joined the military at 17 as he did. I was looking at myself the other day and it's riddled with scars like his was. I feel hard times are ahead for our young one's. I'm trying to prepare my kids for what I see coming. Many won't be able to handle it.

Believe me, if he didn't have an audience to talk to. I'm sure things would of been said no one else could imagine that day

@@mister7596would’ve*

this is the guy that the mechanic calls when he has trubble. Aka the repar man´s repar man.

He knows how to get most things running but that's the last we ever see of anything with a few exceptions like that model A pickup.

@@maggs131 I know, and it’s sad.

_Pulls a pound of sand out of the intake port_ "I think she's saveable!"

@@maggs131 thats many of these channels. lets find junk thats been sitting in the woods, get it running then throw it away/ dump it on someone else so we can make a new video.

@@MsStevo2000 yup I like this Jennings guy as he clearly knows this old stuff but I'd like to see more follow up and vehicles getting done. If he really does have all these vehicles waiting restoration or waiting to be roadworthy..... hes got enough backlog that hes going to hand off to his grandchildren. Still better than vice grip garage. Derek seems like a nice family guy who is also talented but the channel devolved into "look how much money I have". And don't get me wrong I'm not begrudging him for success but thats not why I subscribed to him years ago and my finger is hovering over the unsubscribe button

I agree. I remember when we were farming in 1956 to 1961 many old F20 steel wheel tractors were still in use with upgrade to rubber tires. F12s too.

I don’t see a carb

@@matthewmcmenamy1398 there is one on the intake

It's because he breaks and cuts the video too much to fit into 20 or 30 mins. People want to see more of the details and wrenching. Not just the start up

@@staind288 It would be better if he showed more of the work but I think 30 minutes is about as long as I want a video. Whenever i see a Vice Grip Garage video that's 2 hours long I either don't watch it because I don't have time or just end up skipping through a lot of the boring bits anyway.
