00:00Morning. Good morning. How are you? Good. You ready to get going? Oh yeah. Me too. What are we doing today? Well today I believe Grant has a special project planned for us. So there's this military truck that he's been eyeing for years now. He finally went and asked about it and the guy said if you can start it you can have it.
00:30So I think that's going to be the rest of Grant's winter project. But today I don't think we're going to be able to get it started. I think we're just going to pull it off. Oh we're going to try to start it. I brought batteries and everything. Okay sounds good. Alright so I guess we can't have it for free. We got to pay scrap price for it at least. I knew there was a catch somewhere. Grant what do you intend on using this military truck for exactly? Hanging out with your dad and his military truck I don't know.
01:00Okay. So obviously it's going to be put to real use. You know you just need a big four-wheel drive semi every once in a while right? Okay. Alright. Oh here it is.
01:30First problem. It would appear that we have a flat tire here. What is he doing over there? Okay.
01:41That can't be good. Body is definitely kind of rough. I'm scared to open the door because I know exactly what's going to hop out mice of course. Does anybody know what these numbers mean?
02:02Here? Here? If you have any idea please comment. I'd love to know. I'd love to find out the history of this thing.
02:12Yeah. Definitely use some TLC. See if we can get her started. Grant's going to try.
02:18Okay. We have a very technical operation here. We all know farmer's best friends are vice grips. Apparently they're a military truck battery terminal cable's best friend as well.
02:33So the truck is 24 volt and I have two 12 volt batteries so. 12 plus 12 equals 24. I like it.
02:41You just kind of wire them up right.
02:43Hmm. Okay. Well.
02:45It's not the right even vice grips.
02:46I think. I think when this thing tries to start I might stand far away. I don't know if I want to be close when this thing explodes. I mean starts.
02:57Hey you have little faith.
02:59I do have very very little faith.
03:02Let's see what the inside of this cat looks like.
03:05Ooh.
03:07Hmm.
03:08Could maybe, maybe use a good wash.
03:12Is there even a seat?
03:13That's, it looks like there's some springs.
03:16Not much of a seat left.
03:21I should probably check the oil.
03:23Did a mouse jump out at all?
03:25That was pretty.
03:26That is very surprising.
03:38We'll just leave that right there.
03:50There's a big mark.
04:05Any oil?
04:06I've got some.
04:06Okay.
04:07Nice.
04:09That's a good start.
04:15Is there anything in there?
04:20Oh, hey.
04:22Hmm.
04:23How old do you think that is?
04:24Oh, it doesn't smell very good.
04:27I think these trucks can run on, I think they're called multi-fuel engines.
04:34Like it can run on diesel or on, like, gas?
04:38I don't know about gasoline, but I think, like, kerosene or, like, used motor oil, maybe?
04:43Interesting.
04:44Can anybody fact check that in the comments?
04:47I don't know about that.
04:49Anyone know how to, uh, work one of these guys?
04:53Let's see what we got.
04:54Um, don't you have to flip some switches?
04:59Probably.
05:00Right?
05:00I think it's like you start it.
05:02Oh, this one just has...
05:03By flipping the switch or...
05:04Ignition.
05:05Fuel pump.
05:09All right, ready?
05:10Yep.
05:12Oh, my goodness.
05:14You're looking at the motor.
05:18Wow, I was not expecting that.
05:22All right, hold on, Grant.
05:26Okay.
05:27All right, try it again.
05:28I'm good.
05:29I'm good.
05:29I don't think we've got enough juice to...
05:36I don't think so either.
05:38Well, wow, I'm...
05:39It's not locked up, though.
05:40I am very impressed.
05:42Uh, I checked those batteries.
05:45They were full charge.
05:47Maybe it needs a 36-volt battery or 48-volt battery.
05:53I brought the, uh, the Yankeum rope.
05:57So I can see the Yankeum rope.
05:58Okay.
05:59Well, let's pull this thing into the shop.
06:02At least we know.
06:03Yeah, there's hope.
06:04Oh, you brought it here with the tire.
06:08Has anyone else adopted the Larson Farm saying,
06:11junk?
06:12I watched one video where they said that,
06:15and now when anything happens,
06:17this, you know, these tires are shot.
06:18I literally just kicked them and said,
06:20junk.
06:21I don't know.
06:21I just, I feel like Chet Larson for some reason.
06:29There's a specific order I should take these vice grips off in.
06:47I feel like you...
06:48It'll explode if you do it in the wrong order.
06:50Oh, I know.
06:51That's what it feels like, honestly.
06:53Oh, you used my favorite one!
06:55The little tiny one?
06:56Yes!
06:57This is the Larson's vice grip.
06:59I love this one.
07:00Maybe I should use, like, some semi-truck batteries
07:12instead of the irrigation ones.
07:13I'm gonna be better.
07:14A mouse has ran across the frame,
07:21and I'm realizing that this tall grass is the perfect place
07:27for one of those little suckers to hide in and get me.
07:30So, I think...
07:32I think I might just stay up here for now
07:36until Grant can chase him away.
07:39I don't want anything to do with that.
07:42You're supposed to say action.
07:44Action.
07:47Yes, this is a movie set.
07:53One of our lovely viewers sent this to us.
07:57It's the Matt's Off-Road Recovery Edition in Yankham Road.
08:02They love this thing.
08:04You think it's rated for military truck?
08:07Um, I sure hope so.
08:13How's it look?
08:14I don't know about that.
08:17Excellent.
08:18Roadworthy?
08:19I don't know about that, but I think it'll make it to the shop.
08:24All right.
08:26I believe you.
08:26Do you think that'll hold?
08:44It better.
08:48I think we're good.
08:50All right.
08:51Here's what we got going on.
08:52So, I'm going to be in the silver truck,
08:55and I'm going to pull as hard as I can.
08:58Grant is going to be steering as we pull it backwards.
09:02I think we're just going to see how difficult it is to pull this to start out with,
09:06and then we'll form a game plan for getting it home.
09:08In preparation, in the silver pickup,
09:11I've put it into four low,
09:13so we'll see if that works.
09:15Look at that.
09:28Look at that.
09:42We got it.
09:43We got it.
09:51Go find a driveway?
09:53I think that's the plan.
09:54So, the closest thing we've found to a field exit on this side of the field,
09:59avoiding the highway,
10:01is driving through a draw, a creek, and up this hill.
10:05Now, I know it doesn't look like a very big hill on camera,
10:08but about two days ago,
10:10we tried to drive up a hill of this approximate slope,
10:13and it went terribly.
10:14So, I think with the pickup going up this hill,
10:19combined with the weight of the military truck,
10:21which is not helping us at all,
10:23I think we're better off just taking it on the highway for a little bit.
10:26If this video gets 12 likes,
10:31I'll try pull-starting the military truck.
10:34You heard him.
10:4112 likes.
10:43We'll try to pull-start it.
10:44You can't lose this.
10:53Very important.
11:02Good call.
11:04Something about the turns we'll have to make.
11:06Oh, yeah.
11:06All right.
11:07All right.
11:14Still Christmas, huh?
11:15Still Christmas in my world.
11:31Yep.
11:32I'll do it.
11:33All right.
11:34If I start waving my hands,
11:36stop.
11:38I'm pretty sure I'm...
11:39You're having a good time.
11:40Oh, yeah.
11:41Woo!
11:43Yeah.
11:43I'm pretty sure I have no break.
11:44So...
11:45I'll take that in, too.
11:47Don't stop on a downhill.
11:49I'll be getting a new tailgate again.
11:50So...
12:20halfway home we're making it i just stopped to check on grant back here it's uh
12:50it's pretty rough bouncy in that cap like the whole fun it went up and down and laura's burning my
12:57new tires off up the hills oh my goodness okay so when we started a few miles ago you had 300
13:03miles to empty yeah what's it at now 270 so man 30 miles
13:12these tires are ovals it's so rough
13:20a little end cab footage looks like the speedo kind of works
13:30it's kind of gross in here i'm thinking this thing burns to oil
13:40now we're at a snail's face going up this hill uh oh oh there goes all my tires
13:50it's just barely moving
14:04oh my goodness
14:08that's what happened we got laura drivers so we burned the tires off of it
14:12all right looks like we got 12 likes we got her in gear
14:19so
14:23got nothing
14:26smells like diesel
14:41low bar
15:00yep
15:02yep
15:03all i'm saying is this thing has no brakes he's two feet from running into the tractor
15:16okay okay that's a good idea what about a seed tender on the back of this thing
15:23hey there you go farm use i like it all right everybody we are back for round two with this
15:30well motor and i am confident we're going to finish the job this time right grant you think so huh
15:37yes that's my i i know we're going to we're gonna get it done this time so if you missed our last
15:44episode with this we arrived on the scene with all the wrong equipment and the tire was missing
15:50and it was just all around in rough shape it was also considerably more windy and cold than it was
15:56today so we are back with better attitudes better weather and all of the right equipment to get the
16:02job done so after much struggle i've determined that we don't have the wrong size tire the studs are just
16:12bent and unfortunately it's not a great place for jacking things up i've tried different places but
16:21the ground is just so squishy and the thing i didn't bring was a block to support anything so
16:29i'm gonna try to hammer these things out and maybe the tire will fit on grant is working on
16:36disconnecting things so that we can pull the motor away when this tire is on
16:51well guess what after i tried to bend the studs we finally just decided to hammer three of them
17:19out because we only had two nuts to put on anyways so this is what we got now it is the wrong size
17:30rim and there's now only two little studs holding on so i feel pretty confident in this because these
17:37two are really good and this center thing is fit nicely so it's not all the weight is riding on this
17:43rim not the studs so we only have like three miles to the shop and it's gravel roads so we should be fine
17:51everything is disconnected tire is on look at that i inflated both tires as well
18:02oh that's all she wrote time to get this sucker back to the shop
18:08seems to be holding together well
18:19man we're really filling the shop with stuff now
18:35military truck and the planner to go through
18:40well we successfully got it home and in the shop so i guess stay tuned for i wouldn't necessarily call
18:57it a build series maybe just more of like a small restoration series on this military truck
19:04no there's no restoring this thing this is a uh
19:07what's that do you hear that
19:11well if you have any advice or ideas or anything along these lines or know anything about stuff like
19:38this please comment we need all the help we can get we'll be reading all the comments
19:44thank you for watching stay tuned for more on military truck
19:49subscribe and like for more oh yeah 12 likes
19:53we'll try to pull start we got 12 likes already so i i tried pull start you remember when you couldn't really pull it on flat ground
20:00oh that was you yeah i was oh my god so i don't know i probably wasn't the best thing to do but
20:07all right well thanks for liking and watching if you're around central nebraska and you have the big tires like
20:15not these semi like for 20 inch rims like the big rims like the well we'll flip in this
20:22those size tires okay let me know i would like to come get them all right see you later you guys
