Hi! you need to split the piece of new hose you cut off and put it over the
new hose where it rubs the frame to keep it from wearing a hole in your new
hose! I love all the videos! Keep up the great job! Brad๏ปฟ

Jowda1467 says:

Hi there Jeff, thanks for some great video posts and im looking forward to
se more from you – many regards here from Denmark Way up north ๐Ÿ˜‰

ElderlyIron says:

To the contrary, I truly appreciate when these fail. Just like shear pins
in the flywheel of the hay baler. The key going BANG means the pump didn’t!

whoolph says:

Don’t ya just love rusty ole parts, only accessible while lying on yer
back?? lol nice work Rog

Tim Halpin says:

Oil? Thats mostly diesel son…

TheTraakon says:

Don’t you just hate the parts that are designed to fail when they do it at
the most inopportune times. How did your 2012 fire season turn out after
all the preparations?

Broncocarl92 says:

Jeff: Your are bringing back memories of my 17 years in The Galax Virginia
Vol. Fire Dept. from 1970 to 1987. I used to drive and operate some older
tankers and pumpers. We are part City of 9000 and rural 47000 people.. We
had to take our water with us on the rural County fires. We used hydrants
and tankers on the city fires also. We depended on and they still run
mutual aid with surounding Towns. Please keep the great videos coming to us
on the East coast.—WAGIII

towrecker says:

did you put about a half a dozen extra keys in the ashtray ? I did that a
long time ago on my wrecker lol

ElderlyIron says:

BWA HA HA HA HA!!! ( My version of LOL) The stones came from it’s previous
life as a genuine fire truck. I don’t dip without a strainer. Pumps cost a
big chunka change.

ElderlyIron says:

Gorman Rupp 350 GPM. I put that in the title of part 1. Guess I forgot to
put it on part 2.

Matt Forty says:

What ever happened to the ACF Brill? Did the guy who bought it ever fix it?

MrPalvis says:

Talk about pollution, what a skeeter killer

Sarah Kinshella says:

Budy I love your videos I sow one long time ago and I was hooked lol

Jared Mackinnon says:

Now I know what those square covers on the side of sm420 and 465 are for,
PTO am i right?

59catmando says:

Us old school truckers called that the Detroit slobber. I used to ride with
my uncle when I was a kid.He had an old A model KW with a 12 V71 Detroit in
it. What a classic old truck.

mustie1 says:

your choochin now,

itscool1968 says:

why does that truck smoke so much even warmed up

Velvethamma says:

Nice fix

ElderlyIron says:

Detroit Diesels are notorious for doing what’s called “wet stacking”.
Because they’re 2 strokes, they’re designed to run on the high end of the
rpm range. When left to idle, low rpm or light load fro extended periods of
time, they tend to get wet inside. EPA had a real problem with the air box
drains. Part of the reason they no longer build them.

LovnSadst says:

I cant take credit for it being an original idea. I’ve seen the results of
Mr Bubble in a city park fountain – bubbles of fun ๐Ÿ™‚

ElderlyIron says:

671 non-turbo.

LovnSadst says:

just think how much fun you could have by puttin 2 cases of Mr Bubble in
that water tank ๐Ÿ™‚
